i followed all steps.
but after i do unlock bootloader My Phone failed Received Network signal. then i do further procedures flash, CWM clock etc.
After CWM clock screen i done Install UPDATE.ZIP from my sdcard. after i switch my phone. when i switch its shown only "SONY ERICSSON" in WHITE LETTERS its not off and on. plz help meeeeee plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
By the sound of things there were a few things that have gone wrong.
First of all, the bootloader unlock... it unlocked ok, but the fact that you lost signal means your phone's simlock-certificate is not compatible with unlocking yout bootloader, you should relock it to get the signal back.
Secondly: (And this can't be done because you can't unlock your bootloader successfully) If you want to run a Gingerbread rom on your X10, chances are you need a custom kernel, and you didn't flash one. The ROM you installed doesn't work with the Sony Ericsson kernel, that's why you are stuck with the white letters.
Solution 1:
Press Home and Powerbutton at the same time, your phone will reboot
Press the Back-button repeatedly to enter CWM
If you made a backup before you flashed the custom ROM, choose Restore and reboot your phone after it's done.
Solution 2:
Press Home and Powerbutton at the same time, your phone will reboot
Press the Back-button repeatedly to enter CWM
Choose the bottom-option - shut down phone.
Leave your phone disconnected from your PC
Go into PC Companion or SEUS and choose update
It can't find your phone and will give you a repair option
Choose that, accept you will lose all your data and select your phone-model
It will download the firmware for your phone, ask you to connect your phone in flash-mode and flash it.
Hope this helps you
(If your phone is sim-locked, ask your provider for an unlock-code (EMMA/IMEI-code), after that you will be able to unlock your bootloader without loss of signal, and flash a custom kernel and rom)
I already done that steps but its not solved not open CWM screen also not updated firmware through repair. plz give solution sir.

i already install 1 of this custom rom (froyo), and this is the first time i tried, n after i install it, my phone stuck at SONY ERICSSON LOGO and restart again and again by itself...how do i resolve this...please anyone!!!
Use Sony Ericsson Update Service to reflash the phone to stock then try again making sure you install the custom rom correctly
And when you install the custom rom, before you reboot the device do a full system wipe as I had the same problem because I never done that

Install Sony Ericsson PC Companion. There is an option which allows you to update your phone, where there's also an option to repair it. Be advised that ALL your personal information (contacts, sms, mms, calendar) will be deleted. I hope you get your phone back.
If you want to install new custom ROMs, try following the procedure step by step. I have failed the first time (got the reboot loop), but then I have successfully updated my phone.
if you can't boot to recovery try this:

Hello,
I used to be on CyanogenModv6 with my X10mp... It was perfect, but this morning i decided to upgrade to MiniCM7 Pro (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201116)
The thread say that i need CWM to do it. Then i searched how to do this, and i found that :

Because i already had Xrecovery. I did it like this, and now, i'm stucked at the Sony Ericsson logo... How can i fix this? Thanks a lot.

use SEUS to reflash 2.1 to your device then root and try again, if you want i can give you the files and a little explanation on how to install CWM manually
thanks for your answer. I used flashtool and now it works
thanks for your answer!!
I have a similar problem.
I used this guide to unlock my bootloader. After the kernel downgrade and the actual unlocking of the bootloader (using the setool2 batch), my X10 does not boot and I can't shut it down. This means I can't get into flash mode holding the back button.
Any suggestions?

Plug in your USB-cable, press home-button and power-button simultaneously, and as soon as the screen goes completely black, release those and press the back-button, voila, flashmode...
Hey, I know this is not correct place for Xperia X10 issue's, but i need to display it in general section, as this one is getting critical..
I uploaded a custom rom on my xperia x10, for that i unlockd the bootloader and stuff..
Now, my phone is switched off since 15 days, when ever i try to switch it on, it vibrates once and nothing at all afterwards...if i press power button again, it won't vibrate, unless and untill i remove the battery and reinsert it in phone..
i see three red flashes of light, when connected to PC..
1. PC Companion for update, repair and custom repair is not working...most of the time phone is not detected..
2. SE-update service is also not working and phone is shown as Xperia arc..
3. Flashtool, doesn't recognize the handset
4. few, technician told me box flash would work, but again, it didn't work out
Now, i don't know much about this, but i do understand that hardware seems to be good, till now, the only issue is software and that to initial boot process i.e. bootloader.
is there any other way i can upload a new custom rom on my xperia ??
or any other solution, will be appreciated..
I'm assuming download mode didn't work? Pull battery and insert cord/battery/press back button at same time while aytempting to flash through flashtools?
I have tried flash tools with this method, but doesn't helps..
I don't know about download mode, is it the same done through PC companion..
Thanks

Yes.But there is a agree option i cannot mark that.Is any thing wrong with my fone???
Mmm... I don't know. I successfully managed to install exMIUI and MiniCMSandwich without using the touchscreen. I don't think CyanogenTimescape has a different installer, but you should aske in the proper ROM thread. Anyway, I'll probably try to install it today... I'll let you know.
When select boxes surges in aroma installer you have first to selct that box, and for that you don't use the touchscreen but the volume +/-!
And to select that box you have to click the volume + key, and when in the box, you can select the option you want with the volume -/+, and then returns down to the "next" button.
I think is that you are asking, and if so, there is nothing wrong with your touchscreen!

Flashing via flashtool doesn't need you to turn your phone on.So,Download an official firmware from the thread "daydu19: has given and try to flash with flashtool. Flashtool needs your phone to be off and volume down key pressed when you connect your phone to your PC. If it fails,try "6. Turning the "brick" into a smartphone" from the thread.

I finally managed it with the volume buttons, though it was hard, moving blindly.
On most screens, one time volume up ends you on the 'next' button, so when you press the power button, you progress to the next screen.
Dear All,
I have a Sony Xperia U (European).
I used the update service to first competely update the phone to stock 4.0.4 (6.1.1.B.1.54)
Then I did the procedure to get the key and unlock the bootloader. That all worked fine.
Then I tried to do the root of the backup and restore. But I understand that doesn't work anymore.
So I found the following:
1. Flash ics 6.1.1.b.1.10 Kernel
2. Root with flashtools
3. Flash ics 6.1.1.b.1.54 Kernel
I have the drivers installed from the Flashtool folder. And the fastboot mode and flashboot drivers work in order.
After flashing the older kernel with the Flashtool the phone reboots and after that I when it boots everything become distorted and unresponsive.
I can see part of the OS and try to touch and 'something' will happen. But it doesn't seem to be normal.
The only thing I can do then is use the flashtool to relock the bootloader and then the update service to reflash back to stock again.
I have first search the whole subforum and read everything. But I can't seem to fine something about this.
Am I missing something?
The screen does go dark and awful using the older kernel. Just let it take its time to load and u can just about make out the screen to use the root tool. Although.... If you're bootloader unlocked just fastboot an auto rooting kernel

Phone Died?
Well for some reason the phone doesn't turn on anymore.
I thought I 'overdrained' it, so I put it all night long to charge it. But this morning still the same and it won't turn on.
The small red led just right of the camera lits up when I connect the charger so he sees something but what?
Cannot get in flash or fastboot mode. However sometimes I see the phone out of itself turn on the illumination bar (green) for just a few seconds.
The phone itself does nothing. But I'm thinking of a brick, unless someone else has some ideas?
Take these steps...may help

Try this...
1. Take out the battery and sim and leave it for minutes...then take in the sim and then battery.
2. connect the phone to a charger and wait for minimum 25 seconds and see what happenes...if some positive response you get...leave it charging as it is for some time minimum half hour.
[Before doing 3rd step download latest stock firmware 6.1.1.C.1.0 for your phone.(Please be sure for thats a stock original firmware)] - Search It-> [Stock ROM] Firmware 6.1.1.C.1.0 FTF ICS Xperia U - T-Mobile (Croatia)
3. connect your phone with the pc in flashmode and flash this firmware.
4. After flashing Restart the phone and wait for the setup and then you get then the power off button on your mobile screen, power off it.
5. Download TheBrains Recovery - Search it [Its a kernel having CWM Recovery Prerooted]
6. Now connect your phone in fastboot mode [While connecting your phone to pc press and hold Volume Up button]
7. Select a kernel to flash [Kernel that you downloaded just now]
8. After flashing unplug usb and restart your phone, when Sony logo appears and phone vibrates press Volume Up button again and again then you will come to CWM Recovery Menu.
9. Then from recovery wipe cache. and wipe dalvich cache [In advance option]
10. Now restart your phone and wait...and leave it for 5 mins.

Thanks for your input.
Unfortunately I cannot do step 3.
He just will not go into flashmode, tried different cables but that doesn't work. He won't go into fastboot either.
I've taken out the battery and sim for 5 days. Just to be sure . But I'm thinking it's bricked. This has never happened to me before.
I have unlocked and flashed many phones (mostly HTC's and Samsungs), but this is a first with Sony, hmm and first time a brick.

I had the same problem while rooting my phone too.
Follow These:
1.Install the latest PC Companion on your computer. It auto updates if you have it installed on your computer.
2.Download the kernels 6.1.b.1.10 and 6.1.b.1.54 and Flashtool. Make sure you have usb debugging on even before you flash the kernels.
3. With the help of flashtool flash your phone on .10 kernel reboot. The launcher might turn black and become unresponsive so enable usb debugging before flashing itself.
4. Start your phone after flashing .10 and connect to your computer.
5.Start Bin4ry v17 or v18. It a cmd file developed by a dev on xda. Just search for it. Rooting via flashtool wont work. Use Bin4ry
6. Press 1 and follow the steps. after the phone finishes rooting it it'll restart and confirm it.
7. Switch off your phone and flash 54 kernel
8. Pretty sure it'll work!
Worked for me! Hope it helped
