Hi, I was using my phone and decided to restart it when some how, it went on a bootloop. My phone isnt rooted or flashed. I downloaded Sony PC Companion to restore it, but it only has the r800 not the r800a. I couldnt make it detect my phone and restore it. I also tried the flashtool but it couldnt detect my phone either.
Support would be nice.

EDIT: I dont have the original usb cable, does it have something to do with it?

Hey guys,
I have been looking evryone for this problem and cant find the solution, hell i even asked my Provider but they couldnt help me either.
In a nutshell my X10i (Android 1.6 Vodafone) Wont recognize my PC (windows Vista latest, 32 Bit).
I plug in the USB cable and it wont show a usb connected in the notification bar, however the notification light turns green.
When i try to connect my device to PC Companion it wont register the phone or locate its there.
I even tried to update the phone using SEUS but it wouldnt recognise it whilst in the "hold back" menu.
I have already tried these but they havent solved the problem;
-uninstall SEUS and PC Companion
-Reinstall SEUS and PC Companion
-change USB ports
-Change USB cable
-Checked and Unchecked USB Debugging
-change computer (still no help)
-I cant find anything in device manager
The problem seemed to have arisen when i reflashed the phone, using SEUS Repair, because i had forgotten the patern lock.
I really want to flash Official 2.1 or the AOSP rom!!!
Any solutions?
Thanks in Advance
EDIT: Everything else works fine in the phone

Hey guys, in need of urgent help.
Last night i went and installed xrecovery onto my x10. This was to allow me getting free x10 2.2.1 which i did, and i got the hotfix's and they also where fine
But heres the problem...
Didnt know if Darkys Gingerbread 2.3.1 would work for me, but i thought it would b as simple as just reinstalling/unzip the freex10 2.2.1 via xrecovery if my phone wouldnt boot. I was wrong!!!
My phones current state is sitting at the main Sony Ericsson Logo on start up. I have tried to put the phone into safe mode. Connected to the PC and no light appears. The PC sees there is a phone connected but the SD card is not seen. i have a dongle which my SD card plugs into, but i just need help...
Question - What can i do to resolve this stupidity and get my phone working properly again?
Cheers,
Jonny
I havent installed what you have but i have that happen to me before where it just hangs on the se logo
was very frustrating
all i done was use se update service software to basically reinstall the se 2.1
version...
so if everything else failed, give that a shot. it worked for me

Sorry, i should have said that my PC sees the phone but i cant connect to the pc because i need to use the notification bar/connect USB...which i can't get to.. am i doing something wrong?
make sure you download Sony Ericson Update Service for your pc
to connect to that, you should switch your phone off, then hold in the back button while you plug the usb into ur phone...
the software shows you how to do this.
My phone didn't go past the se logo, and didnt want to connect either... but it connected to the update service which let me reinstall the original 2.1
This worked thanks a bunch!!
As per my understanding, we cannot brick the phone till the boot loader is cracked. You mess anything with the phone when flashing or when using xRecovery incorrectly, all you need to do is connect the phone in flash mode to your PC and update using Sony Ericsson Update Service or PC Companion and you will get the stock SE Rom back, and you will be ready to mess it up again
So i was running Tripnmiui and on baseband .54 and firmware 435?
and I wanted to update to the new SE Gingerbread, So i connected my phone to my computer and ran the update through the SEUS (PC companion). And it installed the update. But when i turned on my phone it kept boot looping the Sony ericsson logo..
I think i bricked my phone..
Anyone know how to unbrick it or fix it from here? with a possible tutorial?
By the way my battery is pretty low on my phone so i only have one shot.
Thanks you guys!!
Yea, Use the SEUS/PC Suite tool. Go to Update phone and search for the repair link. Connect the phone in flash mode and it ll get you back to stock.
Edit:
I would charge the phone first though, for at least like an hour.
U ran update through seus or pc companion??
Btw,try repairing it with seus again.

Cant mount the phone therefore i can't Connect to SEUS
Okay follow these specific instructions (I went through the same thing yesterday when I tried to update to the new Iris ROM)
Connect the phone to your comp and start PC Companion
At the PC Companion Home Screen click on the Start button in the Support Zone Tab
Click start again under the Phone Software Update section
A message that the PC companion could not find the phone will pop up.
Click on the repair phone link there and wait.
It took almost 20 mins but my phone unbricked to Stock 2.1

@OP
in short u are f****d.!
try rooting it with super one click or zroot(somethinng like that).
Yo.. let me explain something.
When i rooted and downgraded the kernel it used the old ADB drivers.
When i upgraded it required the new ADB drivers.
Maybe that is your issue.
flash the generic SE firmware with flashTool. It should work...
turn off phone - take out battery - press back key - insert usb - insert battery.
That should do the trick. Then Flashtool to stock
I probably have used this method 50 times the past 2 days trying to upgrade to GB. Always flashes ok but phone wont boot. Finally gave up and stayed with 2.1 and upgraded to MIUI. So it aint dead yet, just injured LOL
2 different computers won't recognize the phone, I can't flash with flashtool! It goes into flag mode but flashtooldoesnt recognize the phone. Somebody know how to manually install drivers?

Hi.
I wanted to update my x10 mini pro to the latest firmware. It didnt work throught the updater, it said I had the latest but I didnt (i had Baseband 006 - kernel 2.0.A.0.504). So I followed this rendeiro2005 "[FLASHTOOL GUIDE] HOW TO for n00bies" I downloaded the nordic version, but nothing happend, tried to update it but still said there where no updates. So then I downloaded the UK version, then It found the new update, it worked halfway through the update and then the computer died.
Now either nothing happens, I mean it doesnt find the phone via usb, or the computer dies. I tried to uninstall/reinstall PC companion with revo uninstaller, didnt work. Then I tried to start the computer in safe mode and that didnt work either. And I have tried all three different ports. I tried to turn of the phone and connect it and then the computer snap shutdown. (the usb worked fine all day today before I tried to upgrade).
Thanks
Now I¨ve tried to uninstall flashtool and the drivers installer that comes whith it, also uninstalled PC companion. And used the guide "how-to-remove-old-unused-device-drivers-in-windows-7" to deleted some drivers that I suspected have something to do with the phone. At least the computer doesnt die now. But still it doesnt find the phone when I plug it in. I tried the "silent mode trick", but didnt work either.
I dont think theres something wrong with the phone. I did a backup with titanium before but I cant get to it now since the phone isnt rooted anymore after the FW update.
Do you have the Debugging mode enabled? if you have it, try disabling.
Ya tried that to. No success. Even formatted my computer. Nothing. Then I wanted to charge the phone, ordanary rechargeching, that didnt work either. So it must be something with the phone. Have no clue how to get around it. Tried hard reseting it also. Nothing. I guess is something with the new firmware upgrade. Is there any way to go back without using usb?
Is there a way to update/downgrade it wireless?
If the usb is broken, can I send it to SE and have it repaired? (The phone is secondhand without reciept)
You can send it to the SE care centre to get it repaired but you will have to pay because it is out of warranty.
regarding your pc, does usb work other than your phone? im wondering how a connection like that to the phone makes the pc go dead!
There maybe something with the pc or the phone. check with the hardware wires are connected properly and try some other usb device (pendrive etc) and check if the usb works well. then you dont need to doubt about the pc next time.
if pc works then you have to check with your phone and see if that doesnt work.
Other than that i dont know if it will be software (windows xp,7, or other s/w) matter but something on hardware. doubting the phone. so please check it out.
Thanks and good luck on your search!
Do you know how much it can cost to get it fixed?
Ive tried to reinstall windows, didnt work. Tried linux, didnt work. Ive tried other usb devices and they work. After reinstalling the phone doesnt kill the computer anymore atleast. So I guess its the phone. I wont charge when its of either.
Everything worked fine halfway through the update with pc-companion. After that the phone lost connection and never got it back since. What do you think, any chances?
