Hi all,
Today Sony Bridge for Mac noticed me about the availability of the update to .75 firmware. Good, I think.
The update procedure starts as usual.... but, when it was downloading the firmware, a popup saying "A problem in the update engine occurred. Please contact assistance." appeared . Actually I'm Italian and I don't know if the message sounds exactly like this in English, but, well, it makes sense.
From that moment on, my Xperia S is boot looping.... It displays the yellow icon with a phone and nothing else.
I'm very angry, the phone is not rooted and I'm also waiting for the replacement of it with a non-yellowish-display one.
Do you guys have some suggestion on how can I unblock the phone?
Thanks in advance!
Flashtool.

At Sony PC Companion, go to support center, click start at phone software update, then click repair my phone ... It is impossible to brick a Sony or Sony Ericsson phone , just use the PC Companion, it will repair for you ...
But for MAC, i think you may face a bit problem ... and I suggest to use Windows to do the update ...

Hi,

p.s. im pretty sure this has been asked before...
You can also flash to an older firmware than what you currently have on the device then use SEUS to repair.
Hey Guys,
I've broken my Xperia X10 Mini...
I tried to flash it using Flash Tool and firmare E10i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Sony Ericsson.ftf (I read that it work to E10a to )
And everting looks good, but after the process he can Turn On!!
When I push the power button, my cellphone vibrate, but don't appear anithing...
I tried to reinstall using SEUS but he says that there's no longer update avaible and don't show me any option to "install anyway"
Can anybody help me??
Try to find a way to unplug the battery.
I don´t know what the Xperia looks like inside but on the Mini there is a small rubber thing behind the cover that exposes the battery connection.
Have you tried hard reset?
And then SEUS?
Yeah, I tried to reinstall by SEUS...
I have shutdown the Battery and nothing...
Is that Hard Reset is made by Hardware???
I can't find anything about that...

SEUS did not work?
Hello,
I do not wish to annoy anyone. I seek some help. Before posting and mostly before doing anything with my phone I read all information I could find.
Unlocking bootloader (hardware and official way), rooting, the autoinstaller for CWM. The flashtool, the wotan server, SEUS.
Yesterday I've upgraded my firmware via PC Companion to .62. However this unrooted my phone and I wanted to go back to the old firmware so
I flashed it with WotanServer
After this my phone didnt start and after the SE logo a sign with excalmation mark and phone appeared.
Please, help me. Tell me what should be my next step. Can i fix it myself? Should i pay to someone in the local shop with neon advertisment to fix it?
Please.
Anton.
Download SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Software), and repair your phone with it.
I got same problem with WotanServer, SEUS solved it.
@tomassz82,
can you point me to a working link. All links that I have for SEUS redirect me to a sony support page?
I also forgot to mention that I have done a backup via CWM but I don't know how to restore it as I can't go into CWM anymore.
Ok. Fixed. Thank you tomassz82 for the hope
For future reference: SEUS is an outdated piece of software.
Sony Ericcson PC Companion is its successor.
Intially PC companion fails to recognize the device because it's not turned on completely (by completely i mean booted to the Android).
I restarted my computer. When I connect the phone and start PC Companion somehow, seemingly at random it still doesn't allow to update but it will recognize it once or twice and offer repair. Do it!
Wipe personal settings bla bla..
I could not manage to repair the phone with PCC, but SEUS worked like a charm.
@tomassz82
Which verions of SEUS are you running and where did you downloaded from?
I flashed 'Feralab bulletproof rom v32.1'
Now it's bricked at sony ericson screen.
Flashtool wont detect it,nor will sony pc companion (both did prior to the error), and (Seus) doesnt even have x10 option.
Please help.
It's not even myphone and I was lead to believe its easy and you 'can't brick this phone.
The whole things been a nightmare.
Some help would be great ?
it took me days to be able to even post in parts of this website.
On seus just choose another phone. Like xperia z or something. It should recognize it as x10. Then follow the instructions. Is your bootloader unlocked?
im having the same issue here
we need help from the experts!
Pc companion says there is no software available for this phone... I'm stuck!
EDIT: Never Mind, Follow this instructions to flash 2.3 Gingerbread on your device and you should do fine

HI,
I have Sony Ericsson xperia Neo (MT11i 11W41). Couple of days before I received online update. I accepted, and downloading and installation started.
After that my mobile gone sleep mode. NO LCD Display not charging indication. Green led flashes on mobile charging, and orange 3 flashes on Power up.
I spent lot of time on net but could not find solution to power up my mobile. I did many firmware through flash tool, Zero point and S1 Tool But no solution.
Even I tried Emma, it displayed all information and shows “Phone is locked”.
Any help to solve this issue?
Take the help with emma and sony update engine.

Emma is referring to "Unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com". i follow there instruction but stuck on fastboot, because fastboot is not detecting any fast boot device.
I did unofficial way (short test points) but nothing happened.

Yesterday i updated my mobile through Sony PC Companion 2.1. Update finished with success (4.1.B.0.587), but mobile did not switched ON. Then I used S1tool to verify the OS, It was very surprising because OS did not change, I have still 4.0.2.A.0.42.
Is it the problem of boot-loader?
Any one can help?????????
i can help you in fixing your phone ..... contact me on gtalk [email protected]
