Hello guys.
Got a problem, asking for help. For myself, I have an LT18i arc S device, which is working just fine.
But a friend of mine got SE U20i X10 mini pro, on which I've opened bootloader, flashed nAa kernel and CM7mini ROM. He did play with phone for ~6-7 months and did bring it back as total brick. I cannot even reflash with SEUS, cause I cannot access flashmode. I've tried all the tricks, but after removing battery and pressing back key, after connecting USB cable, it simply turns on, shows "Sony Ericsson" and freezes for a century.
No LED, nothing happens. Tried ALOT of times, nothing. Tried with home+power+back key, same. any tips what I can do? I'm already starting to think phone is dead and I need JTAG to repair it...
anyone? I tried gazillion variants gazillion times, no luck, still the same..
Hi
Did you get around this? I got an e10a (X10 mini) with the same problem. Got an error after flashing from 1.6 to 2.1
No LED, no boot-loop, nothing! Can't access flash-mode. Tried pressing power + back & or power + home buttons and there is nothing...
I think is screwed beyond diy-repair... Need special hardware/software...

first for jumping out of flash mode, i used pc companion's repair, even though it didn't worked, but at least it kept my phone in the flashing mode
second, after the failure of pc companion, i opened flashtool and flashed a 1.6 one onto it.
third, my phone was running again!!

hey guys,
i have bricked my phone
i have tried the solutions here, but none helped:
* seus said: the phone has already the latest version installed
* repairing said: there is no software available for your phone yet
* sometimes the going into flash mode doesn't work, it simply jumps out of it, but by pressing some buttons, it remains in there
[edit: now i can't make it to stay in flashing mode anymore]
* the combination back+home+power does not have any effect
* flashtool reaches to the end and says
29/044/2011 17:44:36 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
29/044/2011 17:44:36 - INFO - Then go to application settings
29/044/2011 17:44:36 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
though nothing happens afterwards (and by nothing i mean it still remains at the SE TEXT, not logo).
NOTE: I rooted my xperia before using flashtool, but i couldn't install recovery, and even when i was installing root with SuperOneClick, everything was smooth and said success except the test which failed.
PS: if i use a generic ROM, would that help? i flash this firmware with flashtool:
Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24[rooted]X10 Mini Pro (U20i)
You flashed with xrecovery ? Can you access it and fix permissions ?

yes, the rom had xrecovery, but holding on back and power doesn't lead to the xrecovery, the text still shows up, though it has a delay and the grean light blinks once
I´m dealing with the same issue. xrecovery was installed but I can´t even access it because the cell phone hangs on Sony Ericsson logo screen.
still unsolved. cant use usb- wont connect. green blink and thats all. logo hangs up all the time.
my x10 wont boot anymore after updating to GB, i used seus to update. it just vibrates continously pls help
ive searched the forum and tried reflashing, theres no problem about flashing but when it says diconnect and power x10 it just wont boot, it only vibrates
I have the exact same problem, i have tried everything, even the flash tools everything, now i have the red flash of death, but thats just cuz the battery's empty.
It only vibrates continuasly wont stop until the bat is empty.
Hi,
Last night, i tried to root my Xperia x10i phone, following the steps in this article:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907
After completing the 1st step, i tried to boot my phone. I get the usual vibration when booting, and after a second or two, the phone had started vibrating endlessly.
Then i tried to recover it using PC Companion (Connected in flash mode). It downloaded the firmware and installed it to the phone flawlessly.
I disconnected the phone, in switch on. Get the usual vibration, and then the screen backlight starts to turn on and off constantly. As the PC Companion says this could happens for a few minutes at first boot after update, i waited, but it simply remains doing the same thing, and never show the SE logo.
I tried to repair again, this time using SEUS, following all the instruction, with same result.
I dont know what else can i do... Please Help!!!
this will help you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmX-IYNYqL8
You mean try to flash it to 2.1? Or to 1.6?
flash it to 2.1
Ok. I've just tried to flash with a 2.1 x10i generic rom and a 2.3 x10i generic rom, following the steps in the video. Dont work...
hmm.. weird, any1 can help here?
Yesterday, i left the phone in the office, with the battery out, hoping that something i read in a forum, about this could work, was true. Today i take the phone, put the battery back, and turn on the phone, and... No luck... My xperia is still dead...
Try using SEUS instead of PC Companion.
Follow the instructions ins SEUS and make sure that the phone is off and hold down the BACK button before you plug in the USB cable and make sure you keep it pressed down until the software tells you otherwise.
I've done so, but still dont work... But i'll try again...
I've just tried with SEUS, which download the 2.3 update. SEUS run all the way, and says disconect and turn on. Same result...
Any sugestion?? I almost give up on this... =(
I have the same problem, i have tried to flash my phone like 30 times i have bought a new battery and still no go, it continuasly vibrates.
And i don't even have to pres the back button to put it to flash it always on startup stayes in flash mode.

Hi, I have a Xperia x10 mini and I turned it off so I could charge it up. After it had charged I turned it on but as soon as it turned on I started to use it and it turned off. Ever since then it keeps turning on, getting to the Sony Ericsson Logo switching off then rebooting again. I have literally tried everything. I tried to reboot it by holding down the middle button and the power button. I've tried to reinstall the firmware using PC companion. By the way it is rooted as well.
Is this phone completely messed up?
Hey guys, don't worry I fixed it by doing a complete restore.
Hi. My xperia Neo crashed, I tried to send a photo via bluetooth and the phone just turned off. I tried to turn it on, it appears the "SONY" screen, then the "XPERIA" screen, and then it restarts, over and over again with the same 2 screens. I searched topics, they say that I have to flash it, but I can't start the phone in flash mode, with power and back buttons, any software (Companion, flashtool) don't detect the phone. Is there any solution?
Just like death

Hi, I´ve got similar problem. A year ago my Neo V went dead (I thought so). Just for fun, I tried to connect it to PC yesterday and what happened? It started charging and after few minutes I started it (YAAAY)! So I thought It was just some bug that disapiered after discharging. So I did a hard reset, to gain factory settings, repair the firmware via PCcompanion, everything was OK until I shove a memory card inside. After that it died again. Its not charging, no reaction after connecting to PC, no reaction on ON/OFF button, no reaction for button-hard-reset, no response while trying flashing with EMMA or FLASHTOOL, nothing... Does anybody knows what to do with it or do I have to wait again until it discharge and pray it would work after that?
help
I have the same problem as you did it to solve? :crying:
