i did that for over 6 or 7 hours. do you think it is the battery completely off or it is bricked?
Heh,, so what did you do just before brick? Bad flash? Dropped it? Dog ate it? More info

i installed a custom rom, and it started losing power gradually even when it is connect to the computer. next day
it was like the condition rite now. you can see the red light, but the phone cannot boot, neither enter fastboot.
Try this: Not sure if it will work...
1) Just connect it to usb cable to pc... Leave it for few hrs..
2) Then open Sony PC Companion and try repair...
I Accidentaly bricked my gf acro s . Ended in bootloop and i did this.. It Worked.

Thanks,
I had a nasty problem, not charging with a new rom and not being able to fastboot etc, only a few seconds in recovery.
i searched my whole house for the acro-s dock, and plugged it in, then also plugged the usb on the phone to a pc usb port, don't know if that added some power, but this gave it enough power to instantly boot & charging... So now I can install a decent rom again.

I need help with this NOW if anyone can. I figured I'd go ahead and make a thread for it so it would get seen. I was trying to update to 2.1 and something went wrong. Long story short the battery drained and now even when it's plugged into the wall all it does is flash its little red light. If I can get it to charge I think I can get things working again but as it stands I don't even know if it is charging. If I have it plugged into the wall and remove the battery the led turns green. If I put the batt back in afterwards it will go off after a bit and eventually "turn on" (in this case that just means that the screen comes on but is completely black but backlit) but there is no led indication at all so i don't know if it's charging or what. It doesn't seem to be. I really need help asap. Thanks in advance.
Silly question perhaps.. have you tried putting it into flash mode for SEUS (phone off hold back key, plug in USB cable)...?? does it register the phone?
Open pc companion hold back button and insert the micro Ian until it says stop it should then tell you your software is already the latest but if there's a problem you can use the repair option. Hth

Tried it just now, nothing.
My suggestion would be to plug it in for a few hours then try again. Or take battery out completely and try the back button without a battery. Might work. Might not. Sorry. Doubt the phone is bricked tho.

Just out of interest how long have you left it on the charge for? Because the red light flashes while charging until 10% and I remember once when my battery fully drained it did that for a few minutes until phone turned on again. Leave it for a while if you haven't done so.
The reason I ask is, incase you saw red light flashing and took it off charge straight away thinking its faulty? Like I said it sometimes takes a while to turn on fully when battery has died.
Edit: I know this is unhelpful, but that's why when you update via SEUS it says to ensure battery has 50%

I got he same problem 3 weeks ago. i could not get the phone to boot anymore even after trying all the unbrick method available here. so i sent it to sony ericsson service and they changed the motherboard.
okay, been charging for a while now and still have the red light. Pretty confident it isn't charging.
Plz try another usb cablr. I know about 20 people whoms usb cable accidently died and the phones cannot charge anymore ....

But the phone won't even boot. Will the battery charge while it's off? or when it's on a black screen? I know 2.1 lets it charge when it's off now, but the OP said the update screwed up.
Other suggestions that may take some time:
1. Find someone else who has an X10 and charge it in their phone.
2. Bring it to your phone provider and ask them to charge it.
3. Bring it to your phone provider and exchange the battery (temporarily?).
4. Buy an external wall charger (one that lets you charge the battery directly, not in the phone).
I ended up bypassing the phone and charging the battery directly via a macgyvered usb cable. Don't ask. lol. But I got it charged enough to use the se update tool and restore it back to the original rom. I'll try the update to 2.1 later after I get this thing charged all the way up. Thanks guys.
my beloved xperia just decided one fyn morning to die.....the only sign of life it shows is the red led when the power button is pressed. back+home+power doesnt help,and it refuses to go into flash mode{back+usb connection}

Maybe try with xrecovery to see if it can communicate with your phone??
Have you tried charging from a PC/Wall normally for half an hour ?
i had the same problem my solution was too: put in the wall charger for a half an hour(even if it dont wanna charg) and then i used SEUS(sony ericsson update service) i press the back button for like 4 minits or so when i connected the phone. and suddenly it whent flashing.
hope it helps you
somebody said to me it is the sony ericsson repair method.
[SOL]
1. Download Update Service From Sony Ericsson Website
2. Then , Follow the steps in update service
3. u Can Recovery phone in 2.1 Update
Dude i think you phone battery got deep-discharged....So all you have to do is to charge your phone by adapter charger (for at least 12 hours)...
Follow The Instructions Below-:
1.Connect The adapter to the phone...(don't try to switch it on,from anyways)
2.Let the phone Charge till 12 hours
3.Unplug the Charger and connect the phone with PC and use SEUS to Reinstall a fresh ROM.

I have exactly the same problem .. try a long time but nothing ...is dead...
Maybe you didn't have battery left to try to solve the problem and therefore it is always red without charging if there is a problem, if you connect the phone by usb to the computer and the phone doesn't start or charge then it really is a problem. Try to use the Sony Update Service, download it, then you just have to select your model on the program and it will tell you to press the Back Button on the phone and then connect it with usb (still holding the back button), this will bring the phone to it's original state (Stock Android) and back to life.

simply use SEUS to restore stock ROM and kernel.so long as your computer can recognise the device when connected .
Phone isn't responsive, I have 2 batteries, both wont work, it has a custom kernel running gingerbread, it wont go into flash mode, help help help please!! phone wont vibrate to turn on, screen wont show, I'm almost crying here, I will cry if it doesnt turn on by tonight help help help!!! pleaseeeeeee!!! WHAT CAN I DO?
I would send it to rogers if it didn't have the free xperia stuff on it... I'm at wits end... I just started to cry...
Have you tried flashing to stock software using Sony Ericsson Tools?
Isn't that impossible without flash mode?

i.e. do u understand what flash mode is?
Sorry to sound patronising.
Also have u actually tried using flashtool? Or better Sony Ericsson update service?

Does the screen light up at all when you put in a battery? If it lights up slightly but still is "black screen" then try this to get into flash mode: remove battery, insert usb, hold back button and keep holding while you replace the battery.

are you sure the batteries have a decent charge?
Im not new, and yes I know what flash mode is, no its all black screen, the batteries are either low or dead, either way the phone won't offline charge

try leaving it plugged in for a little bit with the battery in anyway, an hour or so. If you're on a custom rom it might still charge enough to get it into flash mode
ive been trying, its like it doesnt have a pluse, no response to anything at all!! I'm dieing right now because I need to flash a rogers ROM on it and its kapput, it's so weird. Why me..

seriously plug it in with the battery in and leave it alone for a while...
I know it's tempting to keep trying, but you'll just drive yourself batty. Best to leave it alone take a breather for an hour, go have a beer and hopefully by the time you get back it will be responsive

its probably your motherboard that has burned up so if you can't get three phone in flash mode you are kind of screwed right know and the only option you have is to send it for repair and hope for the best.

not really, if both batteries are dead it could easily be just that....
find an external charger or a friend with an extra x10 and try charging the batteries before trying!

all I'm saying is give it a shot before you send it away, worth trying to charge the batteries before going through all that trouble
try going in store to see if they might have an extra battery you can try, etc...
its been 5 hours

I hear you can take the back cover off pull the battery and plug in the charger and you might get a light on the phone after a minute or two then with it still plugged in push the battery back and let sit over night.
You can also try this after 5 minutes with no light and leave overnight as I read a few places it allows the battery to charge
yes, if you take out the battery, then plug the phone into a *WALL* charger *NOT COMPUTER USB PORT* the green led should light up. when its green, try inserting the battery, then leave it alone for a while and see if it starts to charge.
good luck

I had exactly the same situation, zero battery and also feared that I lose my X10. What do I did?
1) Downloaded X10a_2.1update1_r2.1.A.0.435_Generic.ftf (and put it in the proper FlashTool folder).
2) Removed the battery for 1 minute, put the battery in the mobile again but don't powered the mobile on and also don't used the USB cable.
3) Started Flashtool and choosed to flash the file, and only connected the USB cable while pressing the "Back" button. When it ended flash, disconected the cable and... voila! It was working OK again. After that I installed my fave-super-complete WB ROM again.
So, why I'm being sooo detailed if you aren't n00b? Because when stressed, we sometimes forget something.
Hope the Stock 2.1 ROM in FlashTool helps you like it helped me.
Hi, I'm new at the forum and have read some threads about problems on x10.
My phone is a x10a, with Gingerbread version installed via Flashtool long ago, I bought the phone +/- 2 years ago.
Well, last night I installed 2 apps, 1 for wallpapers and the other one was Go Launcher.
Till that ok, everything running, but then I decided to restart my phone cuz it was on for several days. The problem started there, I couldn't turn it on again after I turned it off.
So today I searched a little for problems like these, tried to flash my device, but it turns the green light on for a few seconds then it goes off, and my device is disconnected from the Flashtool. Tried to charge my battery for like 30 minutes, tried taking out the microSD, tried turn on holding volume and power button together, tried turning on without the battery (connected to the charger), but still stuck.
If anybody pleeeease can help me I would be REALLY glad!!!
Thanks in advance
Well in some cases it works, so try to remove battery hold back button, plug your USB cable and insert the battery. It should connect in flashmode. Then flash official ROM and it should start. At least I hope so.

Hmmm, well I guess you may need to revert back to stock :c Doesn't seem to be any more option. Sorry
Just in case. Try pressing power + volumeup until it vibrate, 10-20 sec...
It not do nothing.... the problem i think its the battery is not charged and phone not charge it. So, any things i can do need battery...
Anyway thanks guys, i can do 2 things: or give it to assistance or buy a new phone
Ok guys, i found the problem: hold down the power+ vol buttons should fix the problem , but i have battery at 0%. The only thing that i non unterstand is that when a phone have 0% battery for real it have 5% that is saved for emergency and fox not damage battery. Why it not turn on?
Ok, i tried to disassembly, but i think i break something... i will buy a new phone... but i am really bad... Guys anyway i will develop for this device....
One thing i unterstand: NOT BUY SONY SMARTPHONE
Solved!!! Removed battery and reinsterted now its charging!
