Unflashable device, help! - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I've bought a device which is really hard to repair & I'm running out of options!!! The X10 looks brand new but doesn't boot at all!
Until now I've tried Seus/PcCompanion & latest Flashtool.
What happens when I try to power up the device, it vibrates ones but the screen is just black( think because there isn't any firmware/ Rom on it).
When trying to flash a Generic Rom or any Rom at all it gets into flash mode but aboards the procedure.
I also thought that it might be Sim locked & I have to unlock it to get it repaired?! (tried Omnius tool but that didn't work).
When trying to repair with PcCompanion, while trying to install the update/firmware it cancels by telling me there's been a failure, try again or abort.
The same happens with SEUS!
I've tried both tools at least a dozen times without any success!
I never had problems with my other X10.
I'm starting to think it's hardware related & I'll have to take it to a pro.
If anyone has an idea, I t would really appreciate it, thanks!!!!!

i dunno if this can help . but when the vibrate wait like 6-10sec then flip to the right like you wanna look to the volumes buttons if you saw any whiteness in the dark of the screen then the phone cable is working . if it still black the cable might be got broken or something or maybe there is wire that got unplugged from its place
btw i think you better take it to pro

Thanks, I know what you mean with the whiteness but there isn't, it isn't booting at all & I have those two cables which both work, that can't be it. I think I'll let it get checked by a pro. Your English btw is really good, thanks for trying to help
I think either it's a loose cable inside the phone or maybe I have to flash a specific Firmware (maybe an older one, a down grade) but flashing has never worked.

Really !! didn't know lol xD
btw i meant the cable inside the phone that can let the screen work without it the phone will be working and you only see a black screen while actually the phone is working . so try this
1.Power on phone
2.after phone vibrate . plugin the usb at the same time in pc open flashtool
3.Wait like 6-10 sec if something like this appeared '' Device connected with USB debugging off ''
this means the phone actually working. then this might the inside cable problem . if non of this happened dunno what else i can do for you . did you take to a pro yet ??

Try stock back everything with SEUS first....

I have same problem on another x10.. there is a solution to fix.. probably you brke bootloader..and if it's so..then you have to give it to pro's... to flash whole firmware with box cable..not usb..
But before that..try this.. firstly...take original charger..and connect it to phone..let the battery charge..you can understand it's charging cuz in 30min's or so it will get heater... then pull off battery and let phone to lie without it for 20 min..then without battery connect phone to charger..and wait..you'll get green led.. wait 20 min after that...then put battery back and flash firmware with flashtool..with no firmware check option... flash whole firmware..kernel...baseband..etc..cuz now yo have empty phone... hope this helps..peace.

Thank You so much!!!
I´ve given away the phone to a phone repair shop which i think are really good. But since they haven´t called me back I think it´s quite tricky for them too. They´ll charge me 20€ if they can fix it & if not I´ll give Your procedure a Go!!!
Thanks for helping Fera!!!

Hi Fera!
My phone's still at the repair shop, this guy is convinced he can repair it by flashing the right patch?!? O think he means firmware, so I g gave him another hour to try.
You wrote that i should flash the firmware with no firmware check option?? How shall I do that? Best regards!!!!

Does S1Tool provide any insight into what the state of the phone is??
If it returns it's status, part of the output is the current file system.... or lack there of.

I just ran the S1 Tool & pressed identify & thats what the outcome is:
Running S1 from ver R8A013 (as i know R means Bootloader is locked)

Ser No.....
Not recognized simlock certificate
maybe you should unlock phone by settool2?
I thought maybe it has something to do with the simlock certificate, so i tried Omnius Tool but the problem is, you need to check ''Unknown Sources'' which i can´t, cause the phone doesn´t boot at all!

Thanks Bares for Your suport!!! I´ve taken a look into all of these links & had hope again But as i read & eg. tried the flash tool provided in the first link (FOTA unbrick), ones again it didn´t work. The problem there was, i needed to have unknown sources checked which i can´t check, cause the devicedoesn´t & has never booted up before.
And for all the other links, I haven´t got an unlocked bootloader, it´s definately locked, so they couldn´t help. Thanks anyway!!! I wrote Sony a mail, but i guess they´re not going to respond.
Perhaps I should try to unlock my bootloader, if it´s possible, i don´t know.
What worked until now was flashing this firmware (X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_GERMANY with flashtool) but as Fera sugested me to do (exclude Kernel & check no final verification). This only works if the device is without battery for approx 30 min.
I think I also managed to flash Baseband & Kernel this way Ones.
But only when i checked no final verification! Still the device didn´t boot up.....
After a lot of trying & flashing & errors I´m done for today & will continue tomorrow
Good Night

I just gave the Kernel and Baseband another try (unchecked final verification) and that´s what happened:

In my opinion it looks ok but it still doesn´t boot

About above FOTA unbrick, i just wanna show you the similar problem on 2011 devices, it could be due to broken bootloader.
For us (2010 device), this could be happened due to improperly bootloader unlocking (see my post on Fera's discussion thread).
BUT, it still not 'dead' yet (i mean this just software related issue, not an hardware) , since S1Tool can to detected your .
BTW, have you tried to downgrade to 1.6 or 2.1 ?.

I'll try to down grade my device after work! I already tried the 2.1 version, I'll give the 1.6 later.
One thing I recognized was, that when I plug in the charger, there's no led on & I think it's not charging!
Talk to you later, peace & thanks!!!

[Q] Issue with flash tool

I'm trying to use the graphical flash tool to flash my ATT x10a to 2.1 and have everything working but the flash tool keeps getting hung up on "flashing system.sin" everything appears to be going smooth but it has been stuck there for 20+ minutes. I've gone through everything twice and same issue.
This is where im at:

I'm trying to reinstall the "latest" udapte through SEUS now and then re-running the flash tool to see if that'll get me anywhere. I'm running windows 7 so i don't know if its an issue with permissions, the flash tool or my phone.

Make sure you turn off UAC and disable any anti-virus/malware.
Ive disabled UAC and antivirus, SEUS gets to about 30% of the install portion of the update and locks up then tells me "install failed make sure your phone is fully charged and try again" the phone is charged fully (or nearly now) I noticed in the log the first time i ran the flash tool that i got an error that wasnt there the second time, now after restarting the comp its back:
23/039/2011 16:39:28 - INFO - Sending loader
23/039/2011 16:39:28 - INFO - ### read failed : checksum err! FFFFFFFF!=CBEF977B
23/039/2011 16:39:30 - INFO - Loader sent
after this line it continues, is this normal? it still locks up on "flashing system" forever. I'm plugged into a USB hub so i was wondering if its the speed of the port being to slow but it works fine up until there. I'm gonna try a direct port and see if it makes a difference...
OK, it appears to have been the USB port. It finished the flash but now when I go to boot the phone I get a picture of an exclamation point in a triangle and it shuts back off.

[Q] Confused as to what bootloop is...

Hi,
I have this behavior in my u20i phone that the phone will not boot. When i connect it to my PC, the PC detects the phone momentarily for around 5 seconds and then it disconnects and this will continue until i disconnect it. Does this mean my phone is bricked? Is this what a bootloop is? I read many threads on this forum, and for whoever was facing the problem of bootloop, he was atleast getting SE logo.
Now coming to my problem, i used s1tool to get the present details of my phone and it shows the following:
RUNNING S1_EROM VER "R8A029"
SOFTWARE AID: 0001
LOADER AID: 0001
FLASH ID: "0020/00BC"
LOADER VERSION: "R4A045"
MODEL (from GDFS): U20i
SOFTWARE VERSION: 1235-3411_2.1.1.A.0.6
CUSTOM VERSION: 1238-7170_R4B
.
.
SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE
The loader version tells me that the bootloader is not unlocked. Tried using SEUS update service to fix my phone back, but after completion, i still am stuck with this boot-looping. Any other suggestions? Any more information required to debug my problem? I had installed a custom rom which was working well (MiniCM7Pro_V21) until i restarted my phone which is when i got this problem. (had got a problem like this before but using SEUS had worked that time)
I can enter the flashmode of the phone atleast but thats it (this gives me some glimmer of hope )
My last resort will be to give my phone to the SE service guys but i wanna know what the problem is before i give it to them.
try again using SEUS????

well that's weird.. i think the only way u can get it working is as you can get into flashmode, you can unlock bootloader then flash the nAa kernel as its got inbuilt CWM recovery,so u can get into recovery mode.. then u can flash a custom ROM.. a perfect ROM would be MiniCm7 by nAa itself n then if u want to get back to stock.. u may flash stock kernel.. then relock bootloader n then use SEUS to get back to Stock ROM.. its a long proceduce but i think it shall work.. if any query fell free to ask.hope that helps you
note: Make sure your following proper instructions while unlocking bootloader , use my tool if u want SE Tweaker Tool n follow correct instruction n read its main thread before u use it..

Tried starting the phone but am having the same problem still...
Have given the phone today to the SE guys, will let you guys knw if it gets fixed or not (they tried updating, said they used some factory sent updater which didn't work after which they said its a hardware issue, which somehow i doubt)...
Got my phone back today and its in good working condition. They said they replaced the flexicable of my minipro which was faulty. Anyway am happy that its working now and am ready to flash a rom into it again Thanks for all your help and suggestions...

[Q] BootLoop, tried everything I could find.

So... Uhhh... Sorry for posting here! I saw the video "you're a noob" and got a little scared of posting here. But its almost 3 days without my phone, so I'm a bit of desperate! >>"
So, I got a X10a, and it was with 2.1 until yesterday. I've taken courage and was going to upgrade to 2.3. Pulgged the phone, downloaded the PC Companion, begin the upgrade. Everything went ok. Then I got in the bootloop. Panic at frist the I started to look for some solution. I flashed to 2.3 x10i generic using Flashtools. Still on bootloop. Flashed to 2.1 using flashing tools, still no good. Tryed to repair with PC Companion, no good. Flashed and flashed and flashed, tryed and tryed to repair and nothing. Still on bootloop, I just can't figure out what I can do! Even formating the SD I tryed, and nothing!
So, anyone can help me? I really need help here, I just can't find anything to help me!
Thank you very much! =)
Sorry for my bad english! =/
Try to flash the ROM 2 times with SEUS if it won't work by the first time. I had such a problem once. If it won't help try to flash this ROM via flashtool, and after that just normally (using SEUS) flash to stock 2.3.3.
Good luck
About SEUS... Can I use PCC repair? Like I can't find a SEUS working, it says "Failed checking application versions, please reinstall the application and make sure you have the latest version".
And THANK YOU SO MUCH for the quick answer!! I'm kinda morning my phone here!
I'm downloading the FM you just posted! =)

Tried another cable but still no go...
Don't know what to do anymore... Everything I read say that flashing should resolve... But still don't work
Anyone got a 1.6 Stock so I can try it? Can't find a working link.
did you try rooting your phone with flashtool and install xrecovery?
you can try that might work
The phone does not start... I think for me to root and instal xrecovery I need it to be functional, right?
I have another suggestion. Have u tried flashing another baseband? one that you're sure matchs the rom you flash? If your baseband is wrong installed ROM will be stuck forever.
Sorry, but I don't understand much about baseband. Can't find a easy understanding guide. My phone is from Brazil the company is VIVO. Can you explaim for me? Or show a good guide of it please?
Thank you! =)
EDIT: So, I found a 1.6 and flashed (Old stuff, Cmd). Now here is the diference, after 1.6 I try to turn on my phone and nothing happens, just the green let flash for like 0.5 secs.
When I try to upgrade to 2.1 by flashtool it turn on the screen but just that, no se logo or nothing, and it flicks from time to time.
When flahsing from SEUS I got the same stuff for 2.1.
Got a baseband 52, 54a, 55a and 49i. All I could find in the internet.
Baseband 52, 54a, 55a and 49i no good in SEUS flash.
With generic 2.1 from jakuburban: Tried 54i, 58i and 49i.
No dice... For Crist sake I'm kinda desperate right now!!! >>""""""""""""""""

To flash the baseband's use flashtool (can be downloaded on dev's section). I don't remember what baseband goes with each system version. I can only tell that 2.1.71 only works with Android 2.3.X
PS: finally found the baseband thread, where more detailed info is available: Baseband

Are u using a X10a or a X10i ?
I think it's X10a for your country (not sure but...)
So the baseband might be 2.1.65 or 2.1.54... 2.1.71 is for X10i according the baseband thread...
HERE is a thread with most of firmware

[Q] Neo L vibrates but screen stays black and battery heats

Hello, help needed pls
My problem:
-Neo L vibrates when switched on but the screen stays black and the phone heats progressively.
- while on, it happened 2 times that the screen got black during the day. I could take a call once by flipping my finger on the black screen(phone was ringing).
What I tried to solve the issue after reading the forums:
-charge the phone, remove sd and sim card and start the phone. (succeeded 4 or 5 times out of around 50tries in 5 days, doesn't work anymore)
-update the phone and delete all my downloaded apps during the few times where the phone managed to start (didn't help)
-Used Sony PC companion to repair the phone (didn't help).
What I did not do:
- i didn't try flashing whatsoever or mess with the phone in any way(it's my first android phone). Really.
-As far as I know the phone did not receive a choc that could have caused the problem.
- i didn't try calling underwater. Aside from humidity i can not see any cause there
Any idea on how to solve this issue or the cause of the problem would be very helpful. Thanks.
First way
Use my mega guide for neo L in my sig below
And head over to that thread and find unbrick in there !
If that doesn't help then it's mean u can either go to sony or sell it
It is 100% hardware faulty if unbrick doesn't help :angel:
Good luck
Second way
By the way use SUS ! Don't use that suck PC Companion !
SUS is always great

Hello, thanks for the quick answer,
If you don't mind I think i will start with the second way..looks more reasonable. By SUS you mean Sony ericson Update Service I guess.
I didn't try flashing the phone, if second way doesn't work, do you still think unbrick is appropriate? will it void my warranty (valid in a faraway country)?
Thanks

Unless u unlock BL then it will void your warranty !
I'd prefer flashtool over SUS ! :angel: In some case , what if your pc hang during downloading firmware via SUS ! What if it is in the middle of process ! For unbrick using flash method will be million time easier and save a lot of time !
How can flash ftf void your warranty ? Don't worry mate

Plz check no final verification and see !
If not work then Reboot PC and install fastboot and flashmode driver in flashtool/driver ! There is no neo L driver so just install the 2 that i mentioned !
Plz note windows 8 cause some serious problem which i cant help ! If u r 7 then it is fine !
Hey Saingpor,
It seems the flash was successful. It said Flash successful but afterwards it said something like flashtool needs usb debugging and something else to be activated in order to work (which i can't check since the screen stays black).
So anyway, flash done, phone still not working. I tried changing the microsd and flashing again but with no result. Do you think that it's possible that this one time the phone fell over a month ago can be the cause of a hardware defect that affects the phone now? And if it's from origin, is it possible that the phone works perfectly for 3 months then suddenly stops working?
I don't get this. Anyway, thanks for your help.

I've tried:
flashtool with different firmwares - always with the very same result
Sony PC Companion - it desires an update and won't work unless it can get one, I was thinking that it it uses different server for updates and different for firmware downloading I can use that, not sure if worth the effort see EDIT
Xperia Companion - turns of my phone, asks for connecting in flash mode aaaaand never goes to the next step ("simulated battery remove trick" does not help either)
OTA - won't come in, I've tried a number of tricks including clearing data on Google Services Framework (or something) rebooting a phone having it turned off and so on
great number of factory resets
Should I through this worthless **** away or there is something else I can try?
EDIT:
When I tired to use Sony PC Companion (blocking internet access on startup) I was able to start the procedure but I got an error saying that Sony Update Engine could not be installed (and some error code here)
open up the flash tool and then click on the lighting in the top left corner then click flash and select your frimware to flash... wait for it to finish the make sure that your phone is not connected to PC and turned off,,, a pop up will come up that says you have to press volume down and hold it while you are connecting you usb to pc then it should flash it if not then i dont know whats your problem lol haha

Totally not helped. Thanks for making me believe for a second that someone has actually helped and this forum actually has some helpful people. Faith in humanity restored (for a split second).

And mysteriously enough I'm failing to follow those steps? This error is not totally uncommon and you could have given a number of suggestions what it is that I 'm doing wrong (releasing volume down to early, wrong firmware or perhaps trying stimulated battery removal) instead of that you've given all the steps that I must have known before (without them I couldn't be able to produce the log that is shown above).
If you consider your post a genuine attempt of helping I'd humbly advise you reconsidering what you consider help.
Although I do appreciate that you gave it a try anyway and I mean it.
