[Q] Relocking Bootloader ****ed up My xperia x10 {SOLVED} - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I unlocked my bootloader and was using Doom kernel + a stock rom(2.3.3). everything was working fine.
then i tried locking my bootloader using s1tool.
what i did was attached my phone to S1TOOL and hit RESTORE and the bootloader got locked again.
now when i turn on my phone it gives a vibration and wont start.(no kernel logo, no sony ericson logo, just black screen)
then i tried unlocking bootloader using flash-tool but it wont detect my xperia x10, it simply says device connected but doesn't recognize xperia x10.
when i try flashing any kernel or rom it gets stuck at reading device information.. doesnot detect xperia x10(as depicted in screenshot attachment).
Any solutions u guys can offer?????????????????????????????????????????

resolved the problem...:victory::laugh::good:

problem was that x10 drivers were missing which detects the phone in flashtool.
what i did was installed sony ericsson Pc Companion and detected my phone there. it also installed the required drivers of my x10. after this i tried flashtool and it worked detecting x10.:fingers-crossed:

If solved the prob, please edit the topic title as [SOLVED] for easing us. And try not to use foul words if possible, from preventing further notices from admin or respectful moderators. TQ

Also, u should leave ur boot loader unlocked if on a ROM that requires it. Unlocking boot loader isnt like unlocking a cupboard, throwing in some clothes (in this case a ROM) and then locking the cupboard..

Download firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28301709, flash using flashtool. Check NO FINAL VERIFICATION before flash. If you can't get into flash mode(unplug cable, turn off, plug cable while holding back button) do following
1. Unplug cable, turn off phone
2. Remove battery
3. Connect cable to pc and phone
4. While holding back button insert battery
Good luck

if you really want to use miniCM7 and have your BL unlocked, just flash nAa's kernel with flashtool
if not, you absolutely need to start from the beginning using SEUS, sorry (post 3 of my FAQ, you'll get links to debrick )
and read carefully everything before making mistakes
I was in the same situation. I installed minicm7 pro v20 and then it entered infinity loopboot. With luck, i pressed the menu button for some seconds just before "sony ericssom" appear and then i entered in the CWM 3.2 menu, where i did a restore.

Don't worry if the Flashtool says 'USB debugging is disabled' if you enabled it before flashing it,it is because the Flashtool got a problem with connecting to your USB debugging feature in your phone...
About the bootloop,it is considered a softbrick as it can be fix as long as you can connect your phone to your PC in Flashmode

HElp Help Help!!!!
Ok. Judging by the fact that you're stuck on the Sony Ericsson logo, I'm assuming you're on the stock kernel and also on locked bootloader. Because you tried to install BlackHD Edition as well, I'm assuming you also have CWM.
The simplest method is if you made a backup in recovery and can access recovery. If you did this, you can simply restore the backup to get the ROM and data you were using before back. If this does not work properly (sometimes backups are screwed up somehow in recoveries), read on for the flashing method.
The X10 showed a green LED when you plugged it in which suggests that it can access flash mode (which is what I'd expect if you didn't tamper with the X10 so much as to break even that). If you have FlashTool, the following series of instructions should work:
1. Download the Xperia X10 stock firmware and move them to the firmware folder of the X10 FlashTool (the firmware can be found in this thread as well as the latest FlashTool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746)
2. Open FlashTool and press the flash button at the top left of the program
3. Select the stock firmware from the list and press ok
4. Instructions telling you to turn off and unplug your phone and plug it in with flash mode should pop up (hold back while plugging the cable in). Follow them and wait.
If you did this properly, you should have flashed the stock Sony Ericsson firmware with everything as it was when you bought the phone (if you flashed the 1.6 firmware) or updated the X10 to 2.3.3 (if you flashed the 2.3.3 firmware). That should be the most fail-proof and reliable way (I've saved my X10 from my stupid experiments through this several times already)
Just a little side note: If my assumptions are correct, you tried to flash the BlackHD Edition MIUI-based ROM through CWM on a locked bootloader and stock Sony Ericsson kernel probably without flashing the lockedbl.zip that's provided in the BlackHD Edition thread. Most FXP custom kernels work with that ROM without a problem, but the stock one just doesn't because it's far too different. You could have either chosen the locked or unlocked installation method on the thread (I know because I've done it before). The unlocked one requires an unlocked bootloader and a FXP custom kernel, neither of which I think you have. The locked method only requires CWM installation and for you to flash the lockedbl.zip after installation. I think your issue must have come from the fact that you forgot that last part, or some other strange error occured.

yours assumptions are correct.
About instructions to how to connect to flashtool, i know they. i click on flash button, select firmware and when pop up to plug-in, i do it...but don't work...don't connect...
As in, it doesn't recognise the device?
I think there's another way where you take the battery out and plug the phone into the computer. The green LED should light up for about 5-10 seconds (when it's in flash mode) where you have a window to select the firmware and flash. I haven't personally tried it, but I'm asking someone who has done it about how it's done. You might want to try that method as you can't really do much else with your phone right now. I'll update this post once I know the exact method and details

Once flashtool asks you to connect USB cable..connect the phone with the battery removed. THEN replace the battery while holding the power button and it should start up into flashmode.
It may even work without holding the power button...
Its strange because when stuck at SE logo you can't follow the on screen directions to get it to work

If your bootloader is locked, you can choose the option to repair phone in pc comp. Another possibility why your phone is not detected might be because of drivers.
It may also because of his usb not working , the problem might have started . I want to check out whether your phone is charging and i also want to know that in devicemanager your phone when connected in flash mode shows as "semc usb device "

Did You switch the phone off before that?
Procedure is:
1) Switch off the phone (remove battery if needed)
2) Press "volume down" and hold
3) Put he USB cable in.
Do You see driver installation dialog running in windows? wait until it finishes.
4) Start the flashtool
5) Flash the ROM.
Yes, I did exactly the same, but it doesn't install the drivers

Then You need to install either Sony PC companion or form the Sony develeoper site the proper drivers.
Sony PC Companion You find here

You have drivers in Flashtool folder under : \flashtool\drivers install them , and accept all of the installation requests by Windows . Or install official drivers from Sony or from Google's SDK source .

when you plug in your usb while holding volume down key the led should be green not orange.
green led means the phone is in flashmode.

This may help you 90%... just try it
I also have bricked up my Xperia Neo V
I tried many tools but no one helped.....
Finally I got back my bricked phone back by doing following things....
download all the needed things you need to update phone with wotan X tool unlock, you will need
1. X_Unlock_Tool_Setup_Wotan
2. WotanClient
3. USBFlashDriver
you can get all these from wotan website.
also create an account on wotan website. NO NEED TO BUY ANY CREDITS
install all above mentioned tools.
then run X UNLOCK TOOL
then follow on screen instructions untill you get an error that you don't have sufficient credits.
NOTE THAT NOW YOUR PHONE HAS GOT A SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE FROM THIS TOOL. BUT THE POSITIVE ASPECT IS THAT YOU CAN NOW FLASH ANY ftf FILE USING FLASH TOOL. SIM LOCK WILL BE REMOVED AFTER THE WHOLE PROCESS.
now flash the desired firmware on your phone.
power up your phone
if it power ups successfully, then your phone will not detect your SIM card.
finally use S1 tool to remove SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE.

So you say, your bootloader is unlocked, but you can't enter fastboot mode by turning phone off, holding volume up while connecting to pc (don't press power button, just connect) and you can't enter flashmode by turning phone off, holding volume down while connecting to pc (Without powering on, too)?
How could you unlock bootloader if you can't enter fastboot mode?
Try to boot in fastboot mode via adb. Connect phone while it's turned on to pc and you have two options:
1. Use flashtool, click on the flash, fastboot mode, reboot into fastboot mode (via adb).
2. Open a cmd, go to the android sdk folder > tools. There you type adb reboot-bootloader
Maybe you could give more details, how you unlocked bootloader, have you ever flashed a custom kernel, etc?

You can restore ta with the latest flashtool version 0.9.6.0.
Click on file > Switch Pro
And then click advanced > ta backup/restore > restore.
Maybe there your device will be noticed in flashmode, hope you can try it. But can't promise it works, cause I've never done anything with backup/restore ta...
I tried but it did not work out, not without fastboot
Thank you this issue resolved now

Did you updated by SUS or OTA?
Do you have unlocked Bootloader?

1.Switch off your mini
2.remove battery and wait for 5 seconds before you reinsert it
3.keep holding upper volume button and connect usb cable (make sure its already connected to PC)
4.if there's blue notification light, then its fastboot mode.
5.Also you need fastboot driver installed from sdk on your PC
May be, if you are familiar with all above steps, i guess something wrong on PC. check with removing & reinstalling fastboot driver from sony's site

I am familiar with this steps. It's not pc problem. My st15i trim area it's damaged maybe after phone bricked.

You say you had unlocked bootloader before flashing ST15i)_4.0.2.A.0.42_CE ftf
And then you upgrade to .587 via pc companion ?
Because AFAIK when I tried updating same on my friends phone with unlocked bootloader. Pc companion denied to update because of software modification.
And if you were successfully updated then most probably your bootloader is relocked. So you may wanna check that!
Also try for hard reset if possible!
