x10i refuses to turn on - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I followed these steps
(1) Install .71 Baseband (link) with newest Flashtool (link) - you may use another baseband at your own risk but there is no support, we only test (because we only have) on Baseband 2.1.71 X10i
(2) After Flashtool says "Disconnected" then "Reconnected in Flash Mode", REMOVE CORD and BATTERY and wait ten seconds!

of this guide
after that, when i turn it on it shows the white SE logo and turns off, then turns on and then all over again...
any ideas?)
i used Baseband 2.1.71 and Flastool 0.7.1.0
xperia x10i android 2.1

SE logo? You're on the wrong kernel I think. Take a look at step 3 and Flash the M&M team kCernel

when i connect it to pc it starts showing logo and rebooting

I think that you have rpoblems with getting into flash mode, tri it with different was, prepare everything as decribed before and do notconnect the phone to computer and wait for dialog which is waiting to connect phone with animation and steps how to it.
Do NOT connect phone to PC. Take out battery, put it back. COnnect usb cable to the phone, not second part of cable to PC. Press the Back button and hold it. Then push power on (back button still on hold), green diode will blink for a while. Then you can connect phone to PC and it will enable flash phone flawlessly.

hjoray, it conects in flashmode!)
but something went wrong...when everything is finished, phone should reboot but it simply stays off
heres the log:

SOmetimes it happens,no worry
Disconnect phone from computer and turn it on normally. If geen diode will blink, then pull out battery and put back and try to turn it on once again. It will solve it surely

when i turn it on it only shows white se logo then turns off and red led blinks 3 times
and every time it makes some crackly sound before turning off

Hmm, this doesnt looks good - i think that you will need to reflash the complete ROM now.

How do you get SE logo with unlocked bootloader? I didn't get that. Maybe your bootloader is locked?

HeliumX10,
which rom shall i use?
LzVebz,
maybe

Try this one, its the generic 2.3.3 bundle:

After this you can install whatever rom from xrecovery.

and all the other links i found are the same...
any other suggestions?)

Hmm,really strange. I am afraid that there is a hardware issue which needs repair.
Try the last thing - take battery out and leave phone without battery for about one hour. Then try to power it on.
I will also look into service manual what does triple red led blink means.
EDIT:
Found a note in folder with my service manuals - this is the "soft brick"
If the flashing stock ftf before finished without problems, then put your phone on the chrager and leave it charging wor a few hours. It will start up itselfs.

charged it but it didnt start up
now phone behaves as in the 1st post, the only thing changed - now after se logo it shows animated splash screen for less a second
and this weird sound it makes every time...it scares me

Hmm some news at least...
Could you repeat the process one again (flash and charge) and post here the complete log of the whole flashing?
Because if we will not find anything unusual i will be out of ideas...

i understood what was wrong) after i read another manual i found out i should update my fw via SEUS before flashing...
successfully installed android 2.1, updated it via SEUS and installed 2.3.7. Now everything is ok)
thanks everyone for the feedback)

Well, the most silly thing is that I can't turn on Unknown Sources, because the device only vibrates and never boots up, and if I plug the x10 via usb on the charger or the PC, automatically he bot's up on flash mode, or so it seems, because the green led boots ups. I think that I've the first person that bricked the x10i

new info added on the post.
I think you'll have to get it repaired by Sony

Consolidated instructions to unbrick your x10 mini pro

So you did the inevitable... you got a phone that's bricked.. fear not.. this happens to all of us.. consider it a "right of passage" when it comes to dealing with custom ROM's
Here at xda, help is never too far away (I was there once too)
I've tried to get you back to functioning latest Local 2.1 with recovery (xrecovery)
0) You'll lose all data with this method....
come to terms with that... not stuff on the sd card but data of your phone, sms'es, contacts, applications etc
1) Turn off your phone
Pull the battery and reinsert it if you have to...
2) Install Flashtool
go here and downlad flashtool
Install on your windows pc
Thank Androxyde and Bin4ry for this kickass tool
3) Download and flash stock 2.1
Go to this thread and download a 2.1 rom in your language of choice (Dont worry that it's not your local ROM)
4) Flash this rom using Flashtool
In the first link there is a how-to. follow it and flash the downloaded ROM from step 3
Once you have 2.1 on your phone,
5) Enable USB Debugging and Root
Use flashtool and root your phone using the simple button "Root" (I know!! what an awesome tool right!!?? )
Once rooted, disconnect the phone.
6) Get yourself a root file manager
Download a file manager capable of root access such as root explorer or solid explorer.
7) Access and edit the build.prop file
Open the file manager. U should get a superuser prompt to allow root access. Touch "Allow". Go to /system and mount the system as RW. there's a file there called build.prop. open it in a text editor. Find all instances of a number that looks like this 1238-9045 (this is my build number, yours will not be the same). Edit this number(all 3 instances) to look like your build number (Found on original box or behind the battery). Save the file and exit
8) Update via SEUS OR PC companion
Now connect your phone back. PC companion or SEUS will tell you there is a new update available. follow the instructions and you'll be running the latest 2.1 for your region and variant of the mini pro
9) [optional] Root and recovery
The new firmware installed by SEUS/PC companion is not rooted. If you need it, root again (same way as in step 5). once rooted, click "Ask root perms" on flashtool. Once root access is confirmed, install xrecovery from the menu.
Hope that helped!
Enjoy
Edit: if you get an error while opening flashtool saying "JVM could not be started because heap size bla bla bla..." Please try on another pc and maybe reinstall windows on urs

Repair it with SEUS or PC Companion.
Step A: leave your phone disconnected from your PC
Step B: Run SEUS/PC Companion, and select update
Step C: It doesn't recognise your phone because it's disconnected and give you a repair option
Step D: Select it, choose your model, it will download the firmware
Step Ea: You get a popup, Press the back-button on your phone while it's off and plug in the USB-Cable
Step Eb: If you can't turn off your phone, plug in the USB-cable and press home- and power-buttons at the same time, it will do a hard reboot and enter flashmode.
Step F: Wait till it's done...
everything past item 3 is pretty hard since we can't acces anything on phone(that's bricking a phone right) to enable usb debugging.
Good tutorial though for those who installed a custom rom and they want to revert to original plus root acces.
Any ideea how to force seus or flash to force flash?

cant flash using SEUS...its saying i have latest version but in reality the phone is already bricked by me and not having the original stock firmware... now it just keeps restart with sony erricson logo and turns off again and bootloop...cant root, cant flash... heard that there is some special modified usb that will make the bootloader enter download mode so that we can flash fresh firmware inside it?

You can always flash... post your model and if your bootloader is locked or unlocked ( since you're on SE kernel logo, i assume it's locked), and i can provide you with stock firmware (E10i or U20i) to flash with flashtool.

hi, i am u20i model...i accidentally locked the bootloader while having nna kernel i think, because flashing customised rom and kernel, my phone will enter bootloop, thats why i pressed Restore inside s1tool.exe, which got my bootloader locked....
and now that my bootloader is locked, and i cant root my phone without turning it on( the phone bricked cant turn on anymore) i cant unlock my bootloader to flash new kernels into it... please do provide stock firmware and rom for me... i can only flash stock kernel, but not the rom... after i flashed the stock u20i kernel, i dont know how to flash the original rom into my phone, since now my phone, didnt have the CWM or XRecover anymore, which can browse my SD card, and install the rom from .zip files....
flashing stock kernel no problem but did not know how to flash the stock rom

Download this, It's the complete SE 2.1 Firmware (Kernel and ROM), flashable with flashtool.
(It's about 213.5MB, although the site may display it's less in your download dialog, but it will keep downloading till it's all there)

[SOLVED] E10i bricked after flashing E10_nAa-11_2.6.29.6-nAa-11.ftf

Hi,
My X10 mini (E10i) was rooted some months ago.
I decide to install miniCM7.2, so I succesfully unlock the bootloader, then kernel flashing appears to be ok, but when I reboot it, it show a new big logo, and after a while, a kind of animated background was visible. But it loop indefinitely on this animation, freeze, screen become blank, then reloop ...
I can't reboot it, I can't remove the batterie (it's hidden into the device)
Help !

when the big naa logo appears try hitting the back button to enter recovery mode. then flash your rom and gapps, wipe/fact reset then reboot. that i hope should fix the loop

I will, but for the moment it loop but it probably not reboot in loop, since I seen the logo once. And now it's only the screen animation that run 2 seconds, stop, black screen, and loop on screen animation with different colors

Re-flash to stock.
Make sure you garbed the correct downloads.. re-read instructions.
unlocked bootloader? While in bootloop zone,press and hold power button + middle button.phone should reboot, and u can go to recovery and install ROM
Again, how to reflash in the current situation ?
The good news is that flashtool detect the phone, but I can't reflash because I can't shutdown the phone ...
Do first things what i say, if that not work, u should reflash to stock rom with SEUS, with repair mode.
I miss your first post. In fact I wait all the night that battery become empty, and run flashtool, push foward and plug. I probably wait 5' that the phone has enought energy, then flashtool detect the phone and flash it with the stock kernel.
And it's works !!!!
note: the colored screen animation that was looping, was in fact the Sony Ericson logo presentation during the boot

Thanks. This has worked to reinstall a ROM on my SE Xperia X10 Mini
Hey there,
I have a similar problem here, but I can't solve It.
Did a Hard Reset by pressing the Power key and Home Key. I also tried to click the Reset button under the phone cover near the IMEI codetag thing.
I have tried to use the X10FlashTool, SEUS (it only says that i have the newest software already)
When I try to start the phone all i can see is a black screen and nothing else.
Any more solutions i can try?

No phone connected to the computer
Try whith SE PC Suite
- Support Zone
- Start the update of the phones software
- There will be a pop up stating the phone was not found, on this pop up there is a link to "repair the phone" click it and then connect your phone in flash mode.
See screenshot.
Do a factory reset

[Q] ST15i probably bricked (Stock ROM cannot be flashed anymore)

Dear All,
I beg your help for solving the following problem (already browsed for similar topics, no luck).
Here a brief history of the mess I have been doing:
I had installed Cyanogenmod (Worked)
I had flashed back a Stock ROM (ST15i_4.0.A.2.368__GENERIC_(1244-2098).ftf) (Worked)
Even though I knew that was not a good idea, I updated the software (as requested by android) (Bricked)
I have tried to re-flash using the same Stock ROM has worked before, with the result you can read below.

The Symptoms are the following:
Device not booting, when pressing the power button the phone vibrates for one second, nothing happens. The green light blinks.
When connecting the phone to the PC, it immediately starts the flashmode
When trying to connect it in fastboot mode (blue light) nothing happens. After releasing the up volume button, the phone connects in flashmode
When trying to use PC Companion, I get a window asking for unplugging the phone, remove the battery, insert the battery again and reboot. It does not reboot
When being connected with the PC, the phone exits and reenters the the flashmode each 1 minute.
I know I am just the N-th noob asking for help, but any hint is highly appreciated!

Hey Someguyfromhell,
you made my day, my mobile phone is alive again
There is still one question, is there a solution to allow the updates to be installed again? Maybe by relock the bootloader or using the PC Companion?
Thanks a lot again!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16659481&postcount=33 and look in the post for D) Relocking.
Seems, that if you used test point method, you can also relock via S1tool.
After that you can reflash stock firmware.
Almost same symptoms
Hi, I also think I've bricked my st15i.
What I've done:
-Unlocked bootloader
-Rooted
-Flashed custom rom
-Everything was working
Then with no reason, the phone started rebooting. It managed to boot and after 10sec - 1min it restarted again.
To solve this I:
- flashed stock rom and it stopped rebooting but as soon as I plugged it off the usb it rebooted and could not boot (it was looping sony logo and back).
- flashed other stock firmware, the same results
- now when connecting it to pc it goes directly to flashmode
- I can enter fastboot mode as well
- When pressing power button green led blinks
- tried flashing stock firmware again and then both the xperia_relock_bootloader.ftf and Xperia 2011 Range_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf with no results
- when connected to pc it goes only to flashmode (Can't make it to start)
- when pluged in the socket it starts looping up to sony logo
- when not pluged at all when I press power button, green led blinks
I hope you can make any sense out of this because I can't, and I've been trying solutions the past 36hours!!
Please...help!!

[Help] Xperia Mini Pro SK17i not powering on after update

hi friends
i was trying to update xperia mini pro sk17i (1250-3615) to ICS official
it went well phone booted to ICS but i wanted to root it. (rooting failed even when in GB with all the possible methods Doomlord/Xperia-root/flashtool )
then triend to collect all the files from firmware folder of sony pc companion and made a ftf file using flashtool decrypt /bundle .
flashed it worked fine for first two times... then unlocked the boot loader using sony unlock code from the site.
now .. i was trying different kernel / pre rooted and was boot looping .. so flashed back to .431 ftf and laptop just went off towards the end.
phone not powering on. not recognised as a usb device. But once in a while it comes to flash mode ( green light vol-down usb state ) and i finally was able to use flashtool and this much happened

but still phone not powering on.. its the red light blinks 3 to 4 times and nothing happens.please shed some light
my own phone is FIH FBO (huawei x6 variant ) and i am active in that section... i have tried all the possible recovery methods i can find..
Did you try repairing with PC Companion after the last flashing session?
Don't know how much it would help, though.
1º Usually when you have the 3 red blink means no battery. You have to put your phone charging and nothing will appear on screen. Only after 10 or 20 minutes when battery reach good level.
2º If point 1 is not enough probably you installed kernel for custom rom that might be not compatible with the version you flashed. Try to go to Fastboot mode (blue light vol-up usb state) and install original kernel.
Good Luck
(i'm quite sure is the battery,if you can just grab a voltimeter and check your battery, if value is lower than 3,8v for sure you need to charge|)
thanks buddy for the quick response ..connected it to the charger keeping it for some time(but it was always connected to laptop usb whole time ). lets hope its the battery now. But i have done some cross flashing too earlier.
can you please point me to the original kernel. (but blue light fastboot mode too not coming up now. )
for this particular phone all the threads are so messed up reading finding each compatible ones is taking so much time.. most of the links are dead /suspended too.
sometimes when i flash this (SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Baseband+Kernel.ftf) i get to the sony splash screen and xperia it will show and keep boot looping ..this guy here also tried the same had similar outcome. This thread

yes one time i got a repair option and i tried it. says the phone has a modified rom / so repair is not possible. (mostly because of the kernel +baseband flash ) and its very rarely comes to flash mode.
brov just reflash but dont use Flashtool v0.8.6, use v0.8.5 but make yhu charge tha phone first...
this is the latest happening ... and i strongly believe its the battery

i just saw the phone booting into splash / xperia / and then i heard saw the android home for a sec and battery went down phone got off.
kept for charging
thanks buddies... one thing is sure battery was down.. i was thinking its full charged since plugged to pc whole night. (wrong !!) then the second thought is .. does the recent booting into android home mean ( 12/019/2012 15:19:04 - INFO - Flashing loader) a temporary boot from the new kernel ? still hope is there rite ??

thanks buddy for the quick response ..connected it to the charger keeping it for some time(but it was always connected to laptop usb whole time ). lets hope its the battery now. But i have done some cross flashing too earlier.
can you please point me to the original kernel. (but blue light fastboot mode too not coming up now. )
for this particular phone all the threads are so messed up reading finding each compatible ones is taking so much time.. most of the links are dead /suspended too.
sometimes when i flash this (SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Baseband+Kernel.ftf) i get to the sony splash screen and xperia it will show and keep boot looping ..this guy here also tried the same had similar outcome. This thread
yes one time i got a repair option and i tried it. says the phone has a modified rom / so repair is not possible. (mostly because of the kernel +baseband flash ) and its very rarely comes to flash mode.

If you would read correctly, then you would see that .ftf file included only Baseband and Kernel, nothing more, nothing less.

Remove USB cable, choose the .ftf file with Flashtool, connect the phone in flashmode when Flashtool asks it.
