Hello folks.
This time (2nd X10) I got myself a dead X10a from the trashcan. Shows all common hardbrick symptoms (blinking red led, vibrates once on powerup)
Though, it seems to be charging the battery, still enters flashmode, but fails to finish flashing, be it under SEUS, PCC or Flashtool. Is it repairable without a box? (got no access to a SETool, no techs in the city with one, either)
Could I use JTAG?
Or is it really dead in my hands? Is this a semcboot/TA/GDFS failure?
Also, label was peeled, are the testpoints under it useful?
Thanks in advance

If its charging the battery and it connects to flashtool its defiantley not hardbricked.. try a diffent ftf file sodnt ask me where to find idk where they are haha
Already tried flashing all the stock .ftf files I could find. Something is wrong with the phone, flashtool says phone disconnects in the middle of the flash (generally around 20%)

Feravolt has had same sort of troubles on an x10. Maybe you'll find answers in his (dev)thread. He got some usefull tips that werd posted in that thread. I guess you should search in the last 50 pages.
Good Luck!

Well, this did it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322827
My TA area was corrupted, it seems. I made a cable, repaired TA on SETool, and reflashed stock 2.1. Will unlock BL and start customizing and flashing it!
Thanks!
Solved, thread can be closed

Hi,
first of all, sorry if thread's a duplicate, search didnt find similar.
My friend has a problematic X10i: shows green LED, vibrates, but doesnt boot, black screen. Can it be fixed? The computer sees the phone in recovery mode.
I have a USB cable and some experience gained with my X8. What can I do ? Is it fixable? Hardware or software problem?
Thank you
PS: Thats all the details he's given me over mess before he logged out. No, I didnt brake it. I dont have the phone in my possession. He offered to sell it to me for about $65-70 and I dont know if it is fixable.

You can use SE update service to update its software and fix it or you can flash a custom rom,
I think it doesn't a hardware problem..

Ok, I am on the Carrier Telenor DK. of Course X10 Mini Pro (U20i).
I know it is not the battery failing, as i recently bought a new one.
First: It won't charge.
Second: Wont Boot up (Not even flash mode, not to say charge)
My Bootloader is unlocked, and i have custom kernel flashed, It is in the safe weeks of unlocking a bootloader (10W26) - I did have "SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" When i unlocked it. It happened after i used nAa-08 for U20i (NOT ICS KERNEL - Bricked a couple of months ago)
I need help,

Checked your USB port? That was what was wrong with my MP. I had to use an external charger to charge, wifi for files and no flashing

I did indeed check it, as we also bought a new cable for it. (It was one of those new ones where you have the USB in "plug in" place)
The weird thing is: I did not do anything to it when it bricked (I was on MiniCM7-2.1.7 and nAa-08 not while modifying anything)

Not the cable, the physical port. On my phone the physical port was broken. The solder had broken but you may have somehow killed your phone. Or your USB port is gone and you have no charge

I don't think i have killed it, as it worked for a short time with the new battery (like a day or so - would not charge) and then it died agian.
Yes, sounds like the usb-port on your phone is bust.

Do you have any idea on how to fix it? (Me and my dad have already almost disassemblied it. (Bottom part ofc) - We just need the last screws - which we dont have the screw driver for)
No sorry... it may need soldering or replacing, i know stelios97, one of the devs here busted his port and he ordered a replacement, but that's a bout as far as my knowledge goes...

On mine I opened it all (there are four star screws under the kb. Stick something under and prise it off. It won't break) and the USB port was weird. I couldn't re-solder it because I have a wedge tip soldering iron and I would have soldered all 5 pins together :/ but if you have a precision iron its pretty easy, just need a small star shaped screwdriver and to remember how the phone goes together

I upgraded my phone to official ics with pc companion. It was working perfectly about one month but then suddenly it bricked. yesterday I had low battery (3 %) and I pluged it in charger and left so and in the morning I saw it's charged and unpluged. but then in 5 min I went back to phone and I saw it's OFF. I wanted to start it and when I pushed power button only sony logo appeared and then black screen, then I removed battery and did that again (did so 2 times) and then when I inserted battery again and pushed power button it didn't react at all. no vibration no screen light. when I plug it to charger it doesn't react as well... so It doesn't react to any flashtool or smth.. please if you can,help me with it I'll really appreciate your help..
p.s I have locked bootloader and was always running official roms..
I think your the 3rd person this had happened on this site. But unfortunately, nobody has figured it out.
I may of had an idea, did you charge your phone under your pillow? As my gets really hot and discharges under mine. So I thought maybe yours had overheated and burnt out?

it was on the opened aria but I've checked already nothing is burned there.. but anyway thanks.. bad that it(brick) comes from nowhere and no solution so far....

it doesn't react to usb even in flash mode (with flashtool ) any ideas....?
Hmm, I had the same problem on my phone.
I just wiped batterystats and it worked fine.
Maybe try that?
Or check your usbcable, or change it.
Or do you use any third party usbcable?

have you tried changing the battery? try finding anyone of ur frens that have the ray and sway their full battery with yours. Since from your previous post seems like the battery didnt charge at all.
I think the problem with 4.0.3 (and cwm) is that sometime it can not charge while off. But I think your case might be different if it is not recognised at all. Can you try borrow someone battery?
I have some external battery charger and I'm charging battery with it but anyway thanks guys I'll try it today.. will find another ray battery..
guys I identified problem.. bootloader is dead.. but it can be repaired with a setool.. I'm connecting phone with using testpoints to pc and windows recognizes it but no other software.. just setool, for what I need some cards and it's paid.. so if somebody can help me with setool please contact me.. I'd really appreciate and will consider donation..

Does the 4.0.3 update bring auto unplug upon full charge, or is it a hardware mod?

Hi, I have a bricked Ray. When booting y can see Sony logo and then a black screen.
No adb nor fastboot can see phone, Flashtool detects phone is connected but can not do any action. Can not acces recovery or bootloader
Is there any chance for me other than technical service?

Maybe i don't know if it can happen but still

soft brick solved

Flashmode works but i cnat flash anything managed to find out it is lockedbootloader
seus wont do anything doesnt give me option of repairing....
Any help? wsoudl liek to get phone working...
I don't know what's wrong with your SEUS, because when I start SEUS, first I must choose phone model (X10i), then SEUS ask me to check that my phone isn't connected with PC, and was I backup everything, and was my phone charged over 50%. When I click NEXT button, I get asked to connect my X10i in Flashmode (by holding Back button while connecting USB cable with phone. Then SEUS check my phone for software version, and if there is available update for my phone. Because, there is no available update for my phone, SEUS ask me, if something wrong with my software etc., to reflash my phone with existing update.
And that's it. I always menage to reflash Stock Rom if something goes wrong with it.

Flashtool
In Flashtool thread, under Development section, you have many others complaining on Sin header verification. The main answer is that your ftf file may be corrupted, or you try to flash ftf file that isn't made for your phone or. ..
Try to redownload a Ftf file, from another place...
In SEUS, what happens when you try to reflash Stock Rom???

The phone came from holland and i tryed uk generic but didnt work:/
Uhh just dint let me repair it..
If the red light is blinking three times.....
Will post this Battery charge "fix" here for you.
This will work on any phone with removable battery. But don't blame me if you do something wrong......
If the red light is blinking thrice, it just means your battery is goind to be dead soon (or already dead may be). So, just put it on charger. I'm not saying it will solve the problem, but you will reach the stage where it blinks once. And then you should be able to charge the phone normal.
By putting on charger try charging like in this video.
Seams like if the battery is totally drained you cant use it in flashtool or seus.
If it did not help you then i might help any one else with battery that wont charge. Or if the phone has a broken usb port.

According to other people ho have tried it still charges when it stops blinking. After some time it should get to a steady red light though.
But don't you know any one else with a X10 so you can try that battery just so you know if it is something wrong with the phone as well?
I believe the owner,tried unlocking the bootloader and messed it up.

Hi guys, i m having an xperia u running ics. it fell from my hands and froze so i took the battery out to restart, since then i cant turn on my phone when i press the power button it just vibrates once an there is backlight on the screen but nothing else not even the sony logo. Sometimes the illumination bar flashes green. i tried everything from removing the battery several times to flashing. the flashing proccess completes with no errors but the problem is still there. Any ideas? i have no custom roms or so only rooted with flashtools...
It seems the screen was broken take it to any nearby center to repair its hardware

Thank you for your answer, but i m pretty sure that the screen is not damaged maybe motherboard, although i would like to be sure that there is no software problem if possible... from what i have read when the sony logo doesnt appear means that the kernel is dammaged... is there any way to flash xperia u stock kernel first and then flash the firmware? also i had asked sony to give me the code to unlock the bootloader, but i never used it and didnt unlocked it, have i lost my warranty only for asking for the code?

Finally, the problem was the screen and the touchpad, they changed both at the service point under warranty, as they had no obvious damage i guess... is this a common problem with st25?
