Hi guys - flashed my x10i a few times and have tried various roms via xrecovery install and all worked fine. I was trying another new rom yesterday and the battery fell out halfway through install. Not sure what has happened, but x10 now stuck on sony ericson boot screen and wont enter xrecovery (i think its not there tbh) and as its stuck on boot screen, I cant select debugging mode. Flash tool wont work as cant enter debugging and when i hook it up to sony service update, it just says newest firmware/software installed.
I have tried, and still trying, one click but that keeps hanging!
Help guys . . . please
Flash a kernel maybe.

I have flashed the downgrade and dooms kernal that came with the flash tool but it only semi flashes as I cant put the x10 in debug mode as cant enter settings due to constant display of boot screen. Really screwed
Did you do a back up?

You dont have to flash downgrade only dooms.

Gone back in to flash tool. selected azuzu kernal and flashed to point where it says to reconnect x10 in debugging mode (which i cant!). Not sure if this was a succesful flash but x10 still stuck at boot screen. Service update still states latest software installed. x10 still bricked. oneclick keeps stating the following:Killing ADB Server...
OK
Starting ADB Server...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
OK

Do you have the 2.3.3 firmware, perhaps you can flash that.

Perhaps Im not doing something right here, but i was under the impression that you had to be able to select 'allow external/third part software' and 'debugging' from x10's settings in order for the flash tool to do anything. As I cant access any of the x10's settings to turn these functions on, I cant use flash tool?
The only option available inside flash tool is 'flash' which has pre installed kernals from azuzu and when i select flash, it says the following:
flashing kernal.sin - flashing finished - now unplug device and power on - go to apps and select unknown sources and debugging.
Cant do anything as stuck on boot screen when powered on
In SEUS did you try the repair option? Try downloading and flashing a different kernel, I don't think you need debugging on to flash a kernel. Just don't plug phone in until it says to connect in flashmode
From my XPERIA X10S v8.2 on JaBKerneL @ 1.15ghz
Flashed with azuzu kernal to point where it asks for power on and unknown sources and still in boot mode.
Just realised that when i power on the phone and connet it to flash tools it doesnt recognise the x10 but does when in flash mode - odd.
checked and laest drivers installed on pc but replaced them and still the same.
I am completely stumped and at the end of my rope now
Cant understand why service update recognised x10 and says latest firmware installed but cant boot.
With custom Rom it's normal for it to say it's 'up to date' but then find the repair button and press it. Without using repair SEUS only checks for stock Rom updates, if non stock Rom installed just says up to date
From my XPERIA X10S v8.2 on JaBKerneL @ 1.15ghz
There doesnt appear to be a repair option after it has stated that it is running the latest software. There also doesnt seem to be an option prior too.
I really have had it now. Bringing a grown man to his knees!
I have never had so much trouble with a mobile divice and trying not to throw the paperweight against the wall now!
Dude we are sailing on the same ship.. I too got stuck at SE logo..
Tried what all i can do..

managed to find repair option. all goes well untill download bit. select model of phone then i get a message saying 'sorry, no software available for x10, please try again later' . . . . . WTF!

Guys, no need to panic If you don't mind losing your data, as far as I can see you have flashtool installed, then:
1.- download the generic firmware for your phone (I'm sure you don't really wanna have you carrier branded crapware...errrrrrr..... firmware) you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746, in case you get lost, just get it from here http://minus.com/mAla782XK/1f
2.- inside flashtool you'll find several folders, unrar your firmware (X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_1241-1846.ftf ) inside firmware folder, do not connect your phone yet
3.- run flashtool and click on "flash" icon, pick flashmode, then OK
4.- On the left side select your firmware and hit OK
5.- It will say "preparing files for flashing"
6.- A window giving you instruccions will pop up, just press and hold the back button on your phone, connect the USB cable (which is already connected to PC, of course ) and don't let go the button until you read flashtool started to flash
7.- wait 'till it finishes (praying will help........., well maybe not, but will keep you busy haha)
8.- It will only take a few minutes, the only moment it seems it's stucked is when is flashing "system" , don't worry, it takes a little longer that the other files.
9.- after is done, just unplug, turn it on and wait, don't forget first boot always takes a little longer too!!!!!!
10.- If you want to, use flashtool to root your phone and install xrecovery afterwards, that's it, brand new
Hope it helps and is clear enough, any question just ask, I'm usually here, either on home or phone
Sorted it. I downloaded an early version of flash tool (0.7.1.0) and put a stock .ftf in firmware file. flashed like a charm.
X10 no longer bricked
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP

I tried to unlock bootloader following the guide on the developer section (actually, only the "guide" in the header, 1 step). I tried multiple times, and this always happen (attachment)
edited:
This seems to be the situation for the fxp 123 too.
--
As I'm a noob. I have no idea whether to flash the fxp 123 with our without bootloader. Anyhow.. as my question says.. I can't do ether.
odd,
i actually did the exact same thing and its fine here.
this is what your trying to do yes ?(below)
•flash the azuzu kernel downgrade ftf with flashtool
•disconnect usb cable, press power button until phone vibrates shortly and immidiatly connect the usb cable again (it is supposed to be stuck at SE logo)
•start the batch file for unlocking bootloader, cause it says press any button before it starts, it won't start unlocking until you press any button
•now wait until flashtool recognizes your x10 (if flashtool doesn't do anything, check third post please! thx)
•close flashtool and then press any button in the cmd window that the unlocking process starts (please close flashtool, instead the bl unlock cmd and flashtool are constantly killing and restarting adb!!)
•after unlocking is finish you have to flash azuzu kernel upgrade
•now power on phone to check if the phone is starting after the unlock (if you are using a custom kernel yet with the bypass method and get stuck in a bootloop enter xrecovery and clear dalvik-cache, then your phone should boot up again fine)
•power off phone and flash dooms ck v05-fs with flashtool
•now flash the wifi modules for dooms ck with recovery. (atm the update.zips are for xrec, but for sure please always check dooms kernel-thread if there is anything changed)
•power on phone again and if everything is right, read the line under that one
•WOOOHOOO!!! Here you are with unlocked bootloader, custom kernel directly loaded AND without reflashing any rom, means you have kept your current installation
a.have you tried checking the S1Tool to see if you can unlock ive seen people saying its just not an option.
b. what are you choosing to flash ? i actually selected kernel straight away on the downgrade part
maybe use the s1tool and post that so people can respond to that
No. It says I only have to flash the X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf, if I'm going to a custom ROM afterwards.
Have I misunderstood?
i guess its me misunderstanding
could you like me the thread where you got the file from or your guide
if your unlocking your bootloader i find it odd that the file says BL''RELOCK''
anyways this is the guide i followed and worked like a charm.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087&highlight=blrelock
the first post has the guide and my files were called the following
qsd8250 (zip file wich held the qsd8250_semc.bat)
wich allowed me to unlock the bootloader (this file had nothing to do with flashtool)
only used flastool for 2 things.
1) downgrade kernel
2) after qsd8250 was done unlocking bootloader to upgrade kernel to doomkernels V6 for UL bootloaders (was my choice of kernel)
That was the guide I used too.
"If you aren't keeping your current device configuration (because of flashing another rom after unlocking bootloader or anything else) the simplest way to unlock is to flash stock 2.3.3 rom, root it and use the bl unlock plugin from latest flashtool"
So i took the flash thing named bl_something..
---
As it seems that was wrong, can you give me a quick tutorial, as I didn't quit understand your way. and this one mention and easy way to do it if you'r going to change ROM at once.
tutorial read beyond the big text http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087
basicly it says this.
1) get the files you need
semc bat is for x10i and x10a. But only if you haven't tried any simunlocking
the bl unlock file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1253277 - thanks to the_laser
Kernel up/downgrade for flashtool from here: - thanks to azuzu im using FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec
and a custom kernel for Unlocked bootloaders (since your unlocking it )
i used doomkernels v6 for UL BL
Wifi modules for kernel if needed mine had it built in
and then the guide tells you to do this
Please make sure you have enabled usb-debugging in your current rom before starting with this!!
•flash the azuzu kernel downgrade ftf with flashtool
(i opened flashtool selected flash and then selected 'kernel downgrade' and in the other tab i skipped the 'loader' and selected 'kernel')
•disconnect usb cable, press power button until phone vibrates shortly and immidiatly connect the usb cable again (it is supposed to be stuck at SE logo)
(it asks you to do this and so i did)
1) turn off phone
2)unplug phone
3)hold back button
4)stil while holding back button plug phone in
5) flashtool takes over and you can let go
•start the batch file for unlocking bootloader, cause it says press any button before it starts, it won't start unlocking until you press any button
(when its done open the qsd8250 file wich you unzip(ped) and start the qsd8250_semc.cmd)
•now wait until flashtool recognizes your x10 (if flashtool doesn't do anything, check third post please! thx)
•close flashtool and then press any button in the cmd window that the unlocking process starts (please close flashtool, instead the bl unlock cmd and flashtool are constantly killing and restarting adb!!)
•after unlocking is finished you have to flash azuzu kernel upgrade
(same deal as the downgrade)
•now power on phone to check if the phone is starting after the unlock (if you are using a custom kernel yet with the bypass method and get stuck in a bootloop enter xrecovery and clear dalvik-cache, then your phone should boot up again fine)
•power off phone and flash the kernel you downloaded with flashtool
(the one you picked as said i used doomkernels v6 for UL BL)
•now flash the wifi modules if its needed with xrecovery. NOT FLASHTOOL!!!!
•power on phone again and if everything is right, read the line under that one
If you aren't seeing the se logo at turning on phone, but directly the custom kernel logo, you were succesfully. If you want to enter xrecovery you have to spam the back button now if the xperia logo appears instead of the se logo.
and thats it
all thnx should go to 9Lukas5 since i just copy / pasted evrything that he wrote

And when are the bat file finished, it didn't give a clear message, so after a while i exited it.
the bat file auto exits when completed cant remember but it asks you to press any key again and when you do it auto closes
make sure thats done and make sure you do this while flashtool is closed
so close flashtool before pressing any key in de bat file
and i dont see an error in the flash tool info you posted ? how is it stuck ?
i dont know if it matters but i actually upgraded straight away to the kernel i wanted to use
so instead of doing the kernel upgrade delivered with flashtool i upgraded to doomkernels v6 ULBL
seems like your almost there
The upgrade didn't continue..
I'll try your method instead, as for the bat tool.. it's "stuck" at the *daemon started successfully*
ah yeah ok
its bat file first while flashtools turned of
then when it auto closed turn flashtool back on and upgrade
I don't think you understood my explanation
First I downgraded
then I started the bat
then I closed the flashtool
then I pressed "any key" in the bat
then it got stuck on *daemon started successfully*, and it still get stucks there.

I think u may be missing adb drivers on ur pc
Sent from my Xperia X10 using XDA
I think you might be right.
First, after a while just having the bat file opened this pops up: "error: protocol fault (no status)". Whatever that means, and it get stuck at the deamon thing again.
however when I start flashtool while having the bat file open it starts killing the apb server because it is out of date.
now.. what is adb server and how do I update/Install it?
Also, when I get this apb server thing installed ( can anyone link? ), can I use FXP 123 to upgrade with?
edit:
I used another computer, as I was away from my main computer. I got no problem with the adb server there, other than windows defender, but I manage to allow it
now, back to the question above: Can I install FXP 123 as custom kernal? instead of upgrade?
Thats what i did but with doomkernels v6 and no pro lems here ... maybe just to be safe flash the upgrade first then your fx123 its how the guide told us to do it
Sent from my X10 using xda premium
and so I did
Then I installed CM7 FXP123 .... stuck at CM7 loading logo
any idea what happend?

btw, thank you so much for the help so far! I really appreciate it and ofc used the thanks button! ^^
Redo de wipes ... enter recovery if you can? Its the rom loadin not kernel is it?
Then full wipe
Wipe cache partition
And wipe dalvik cache or whatever its called
In xrecovery its in adv option i believe
Ive googled some more and dalviks cache alone might even be sufficient

To fully run adb u need to download java runtime environment and android SDK. The reason I think its adb is because it stops after saying starting daemon. This I think is adb starting

''Try finding an apk file for the market. Uninstall the one of your phone and install the downloaded one.''

can you locate the market app in your settings/applications ?

a few days ago I tried to root my xperia S to get more functionality. So i read on the internet on several blogs and started to download a rom. First i unlocked my phone with fastboot.exe. Then i try to boot via Command prompt. It says everinthing was okay in about 120 secs, but when i disconnect and tried to start my phone, i only got the sony logo and that was freezed. Even if i reboot, it cames again. I've tried some other ftf files to flash, but nothing worked. Now my battery is empty, and i don't get the phone back in fastboot mode.
Anyone have tips for me? Im very new in it so please help me...

For now, charge your battery first. U atleast need to have 80% charge before u can fastboot/flash your phone.
- (Only If Your Phone Doesnt Start) Press Power Button+Volume Up for some 10/15 seconds, u will get three vibrations which mean u just hard reset the phone. It normally takes about 2/3 minutes to boot up a phone after a new flash or kernel has been installed. If not then follow the the below instructions after the hard reset and see if it works.
- Assuming that you have already got the downloaded ftf (Firmware file) saved in the FIRMWARE folder of flashtool, if not then save it.
- Open up your flashtool.
- Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN key.
- Keep it pressed, connect the USB cable to your PC (assuming that u already have the usb connected to the phone)
- Release the Volume Down key when phone's GREEN LED lights
- Click the flash button (yes: the thunder icon up left)
- Select "Flahsmode" and click "OK"
- Select your desire firmware and click "OK", DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE
- Flashtool will prepare the files for flashing, just be patient
- Flashtool will start flashing automatically, let it finish to 100%
- At the end, Flashtool will prompt a line saying u need to check Unknown Sources And USB Debugging mode and thats when u know that u have successfully flashed a stock/custom ROM.
- Disconnect the phone, power up and give it some minute to boot up and work.
- Have fun :highfive:
HOW TO ROOT:
Depending on the Firmware/ROM the rooting method varies, i use Advanced Kernel Build14 on my new stock ICS firmware but always used DoomKernelv0.4+Recovery to Root Stock GB firmwares
You Can Download Any One Of them:
- AdvancedKernel14(Fastboot) For ICS
- DoomKernels(Fastboot+Recovery) Thread
How to Fastboot and just Root without Recovery and back to STOCK KERNEL:
First of all i will advice you to do this if ONLY you are planning to root your phone but want to come back on your stock kernel. Its a good thing to do if you have just flashed a new firmware like 6.0.A.2.45
Here's what you do:
[ requirements ]
# bootloader of the device is UNLOCKED
# Download and install FASTBOOT DRIVERS (DoomLord)
# Downlaod and Unzip FASTBOOT BINARIES
- Unplugged your USB from pc and Turn Off your phone
- Rename Advanced Kernel Build 14 to kernel.elf or unzip DoomlordKernelv0.4, unzip it and copy kernel.elf
- Open Fastboot Binaries folder
- Go To Fastboot folder, paste the kernel.elf file
- Press and hold VOLUME UP key.
- Keep it pressed and connect your phone and pc through USB.
- BLUE LED light will turn on means you are in fastboot mode, release the key.
- Fastboot folder opened, press SHIFT+RIGHT MOUSE button on the screen and choose Open Command Window here.
- Type
fastboot devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to check if your phone is connected properly and if it is, something like PSDN : xxxxx will be shown.
- Type
fastboot flash boot kernel.elf
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Give it some seconds as it will load the kernel on the phone.
- Type
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and your phone will restart. Give it some minute and it will boot up plus you will have root access :highfive:
ONLY IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK ON STOCK KERNEL WITH ROOT ACCESS:
- Assuming you have 7zip installed in your system, if not then google, download and install the programme.
- Right click on the ftf (firmware) file.
- Choose 7zip > Open Archive
- Click kernel.sin > Extract and save it anywhere in your PC
- Connect your phone through USB (You Can do it even if your phone is ON)
- Click the THUNDER ICON.
- Choose FASTBOOT. Choose OK.
- Click Reboot into fastboot mode (via ADB) if it gives error on flashtool then click REBOOT INTO FASTBOOT MODE ( via FASTBOOT)
- The Phone will turn off and will automatically go into fastboot mode ( BLUE LED )
- Click SELECT KERNEL TO FLASH
- Choose kernel.sin
- Give the kernel some seconds to flash and the phone will restart.
- You will see the SONY logo again if you have done it correctly ( YES YOU WILL because you just successfully flashed the stock kernel)
- Wait for some minute and the phone will reboot with stock kernel still with root access to it.
ALTERNATIVE WAY TO FLASH THE kernel.sin :
- Copy and paste the kernel.sin file over at the fastboot folder in fastboot binaries. Delete the kernel.elf
- Type fastboot devices
- Type fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
- Type fastboot reboot
:highfive: :highfive:
Follow the above steps and you will definitely have a success
I dont think i can charge my battery. When i put it on a charger, the led is burning red. I've done that for a hole night. But if i disconnect, and try to power up, it doesnt react at all. When i connect it on my pc, the pc doesnt recognize it as a device, only the red led is burning. After a few time the sony logo appears. But stil no recognizing by pc, and still not 3 vibrates after trying a hard reset...
okay, after 3 weeks of waiting im back. I had brought de Xperia S to a telecom store to fix it, but they said that it was impossible for them. Now, i tried for my self again. There are some things to explain.
1 flashing a kernel(eg. kernel.sin) is possible.
2 then, i want to flash a the system partition
3 if i do that via the command prompt by this command it says it fails
4 if i do that by the flashtool by clicking on the thunder icon, then choose the flashmode, and choose the version to load, it's unpackage some files, but then it asks to put the phone into flashmode. If i do that by pushing the volume downbutton and then connect phone with PC, the green LED is burning, but the flashtool still asks to put into flashmode. So it does not start to flash at all, because the phone is not really in flashmode.
Anyone suggestions??
You say you unlocked your phone, do you mean unlocked the bootloader? If it's stuck at boot loop this is sometimes due to locked bootloader. Try to unlock again making sure it has correctly unlocked.
If your pc cannot detect your phone in flash mode, it may be that you don't have all the drivers installed. I don't understand 2.
All in all if your phone is in flashmode but it still says put phone into flash mode im going to presume the drivers aren't installed (or installed correctly).
Here is what I have done in a similar situation.
1, Hold the vol up and vol down buttons pressed at the same with your thumb the while holding the full button pressed, press down on the power button, you are now holding power button and volume +/- at the same time, maintain this pressure for a while, you will feel 1 vibration but keep pressing until you feel 3 vibrations then take your fingers off the power and the volume.
2, Press the vol down and insert your usb that is connected to the PC. you should get a green light, if not try # 1 again 2-3 times
3,Recharge it should only take an hour or two to get decent charge.
4, Start flashtool or PC companion. flash or update.
U should avoid unlocking ur device if u r a noob..and wait for devs to develop a method that roots the device widout hving to unlock bootloader like recentlyBin4ry has developed

Finally, I found the solution by installing flashtool update 9.6.0. With that installed, my phone went into flashmode and it was flashed well. A new question: i installed a rooted version of the ICS firmware. But now it is now longer possible to install updates. Is that a known issue, and is there a solution?
hi guys
i have x10i
i want install android 4.0.4
now i want unlcoke bootloader for write cwm and custom rom
i give code unlocke of site sony
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
but i cannot write code because i cannot go to the fastboot mode??
please help me how fastboot mode for write code unlocke bootloader
thanks
hi first download latest flashtool then install device drivers and turn on usb debugging on x10 then connect it with pc flashtool detect ur phone then there is option for root after the root then there is a option for unlock bootloader. cheer
hit thanks button if i help u.
Hey try this -
1.download latest flashtools which is a program that you would be using as long a you want to flash custom rom from here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
2. Now in the Flashtools folder (C:\Flashtool\firmwares by default) go to the folder named drivers and you would see "flashtool-drivers" and install them (installed them all just in-case you decide to get another Xperia phone in the future.
3. On your phone go to setting>applacations>unknown sources and usb debugging in development and connect your phone to your computer with your data cable and then open flashtools.
4. root would now become available in flashtools so press it(the black unlocked lock ICON) and just wait for flashtools to reboot your phone. and you now have root access!
Installing a Recovery
In order to install a new Rom you would have to install a Recovery, according to the rom you want to install the thread would state whether you need a ClockWorkMod(CWM)(CWM5 in flashtools) or just flash through Xrecovery(0.3 in flashtools)
So in order to install a Recovery your phone must be connected to the USB port on your computer. So in flashtools click on the black square with a white cross in it and choose according.( setting>applacations>unknown sources and usb debugging in development much be on.
How to use Xrecovery.
To get into xrecovery you much power off your device, then press the power button until it vibrates, no when you see the sonyericsson logo start pressing the back button on your phone and then you would enter Xrecovery(in the version of flashtools this tutorial is based you must wait until you see the notification LED turns ) now in xrecovery you use the volume up, down, home and back buttons to navigate.
Bootloader Unlocking.
5.unplug your phone and power it off. On the top bar in flashtools plugins should now be available with the "Unlocked bootloader" option, so press it and wait until it says to connect your phone then do so by holding down your back button(on your phone) and plugging in your USB cable(don't let go until you see your notifications light come on GREEN
6. While the unlocking is taking place look out for the "you can now unplug and turn on device, then plug it again" unplug it and press the power button until vibrate and then Immediately plug it back in. Do it that one time and just leave it to finish and say "successfully applied unlock. Rebooting
7. Smile because you can now flash custom kernels and so forth and so on and also press thanks button.

Quick tip:flashing new roms usually means loosing your data(contacts, apps, etc) but you can use this to backup your data and when you're done re-download it and restore your data: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....go.backup.pro

For the BL, use FlashTool, It's easy
I have an m4 aqua which is stuck in a boot loop on the wavy blue screen.
-I have not rooted this phone or done anything non-stock.
-Its been stuck like this for days and doing the hard reboot just goes back to the blue wavey screen (the power + up volume reset)
-I tried using xperia companion but it just hangs because it doesnt seem to detect my phone at the point where it says 'plug in phone'
-I installed adb and the xperia m4 developer drivers but xperia companion still doesnt detect the phone.
- Tried Flasher by Androxyde and downloaded firmware through XperiFirm but when I go to use Flasher i cant find any files to use.
any ideas of what to do?
I was following these instuctions to no avail
Download flashtool, flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2489955
Set it up correctly and instal;l the drivers.
Download the ftf file for YOUR DEVICE, use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/cros...oader-t2834142 ,or the last tab at the top of the flashtool.
Once you have found it, click it and download it by clicking it on the far right, make sure unpack automatically is checked.
Let it download and then flash tool will assemble it as the ftf file for you, and it will be in the correct folder. Cick the lightning button and select flash mode, select the ftf file that should apear in the list.
Folow the on screen instructions, it will take a while to flash, once finished it will say "unlug and reboot phone£
