Issues flashing and rooting with flashtool method - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys I've been trying to root an XPERIA X10a using the flashtool method and g-faces tutorial. I am currently using Flashtool v0.9.9.0. I was able to flash the Generic rom for the X10a (X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200.zip) After flashing I powered on the phone, turned on unknown applications and USB debugging. When I tried to root all types and styles of root fail at part 1 when waiting for the device. I tried reflashing the FW but I cant because everytime i have the phone powered off and try to start it in flash mode about 5 seconds after the phone says sony ericson and shows a battery charging logo breaking any FW update connection to my PC. I've been using HTC phones for a while and I'm very unfamiliar with this rooting style. I feel like this is 80x harder for some reason.

Try to reflash your Stock Rom via SEUS (Sony Update Service), official app for flashing Stock Rom and Kernel back. Then try to root via Flashtool.

[Q] After oficial frimware update phone dead. Please help

I saw on the phone screen update, push download it, then install, phone restarts and start install updates and suddenly it turns off. Now when I try turn it on just lightly blinks notification light.
I tried flash it with "flashtool" frimware "ST18_4.0.A.2.368_GENERIC_(1248-9545).ftf" and "ST18_4.0.A.2.368_GENERIC_(1248-9545).ftf" and "ST18i_4.0.1.A.0.283_(1252-5332 ).ftf". All processes completed without errors, but telephone still dead.
Also I tried repair frimware with sony ericsson update service, but when phone is already connected and repair must start sony ericsson update service shows error " The phone contains modified software that cannot be updated".
Please help me. What can I do?
Sorry for my English.
You had unlocked bootloader? If yes try flash this: http://www.mediafire.com/?h2dwrz18mujx765
and after that install any ROM or use WotanServer.

Download 2.1 generic firmware. Now then put your phone into flash mode and flash 2.1 generic.
Your phone will now boot.then you'll need to go to PC companion and update to 2.3.3

Please use search tab all is there.Take your time and read.
thks for your time, itried all methods mentioneh in the posts but nothing work, for this reason i need help thks...
I installed a Rom that went wrong and had to use flashmode with sony's update program, not sure how it's called these days. I if you install that and plug it into the pc holding down the Back button, it recognizes it and will all you what you want to do. Select restore (or something similar). It'll restore it back to 2.3.3. After that you can install xRecovery again with flash tool.
Be aware that this worked for my semi bricked X10i, no guarantee it'll work for you ofcourse.......good luck

You only get that message when you plug in the phone too early
Update>repair>select x10i>then press continue etc>THEN connect phone.
And run stuff as administrator if you got w7.

Xperia Mini Pro rooting problem

So here's the deal...i was following Patembe's guide on how to root my mini pro.
I flashed the 4.0.3 neo V firmware, got the black screen then bam...when i was about to start rooting with doomlord's toolkit i get stuck with the daemon started successfully part. I tried executing doomlord's app still there but it got to cleaning and killing and bla bla then it prompted me to try enabling usb debugging.
I think i forgot to turn it on? Because when i try to flash back to my 4.0.4 sk17i firmware using flashtool, it says there my usb debugging is off...with that said, i can't flash any other firmware because i'm using a neo V firmware with the black screen. I also think i'm on MTP. Damn can anybody help me? I hope there's still a solution to this. Thanks guys! Sorry for my bad english
Flashing firmwares doesn't need USB debugging. If you can't flash, repair with PC Companion.
Do you get in flashmode? Try to press volume down key and then plug the usb cable in the computer. If the green light shines, you can flash the gingerbread rom, cause I guess you tried to root ics.
Do it like its in this tutorial to root and repair your phone.
Have you got unlocked bootloader and have you only flashed kernel or the rest of rom, too?
Doomlord kit has issues getting blocked by antivir.have you disabled it before running the kit?(pressing ignore doesn't help)

Flash it through Flashtool. My x10 is also bricked, even flash mode isn't working. But I'm sure this would work for your phone as my phone condition is different from yours.
maybe lack of suitable drivers
