[Q] Xperia X10 stuck on techdevil bootscreen help :( - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today I tried to install the Techdevil Rom on to my Xperia X10.
First i copied the techdevil rom over onto my Sd card in my phone, then I booted into CWM recovery, I wiped the data and factory settings, I wiped the cache and then I wiped the dalvik cache.
After that I installed the techdevil rom onto my phone from the CWM Recovery then clicked on the option to reboot the phone.
The phone loaded up with the sony ericson logo and then went onto the techdevil logo.
The phone will not go past here.
I can not get back to the CWM recovery and I cant flash it ether.
Sony ereicsson flasher binary program recognizes the phone and so does the sony pc companion.
I cant use pc companion as the xperia x10 is no longer in usb mode and im not sure if theres a way of putting it in usb mode without being able to get on to the phone.
Im pretty sure that the problem im having is because the phone cant find the firmware, but I cant get access to cwm recovery so I dont really know what to do to get past this problem.
Ive taken the battery out, sim card, memory card, turned it off and on, but it still comes back to the techdevil logo.
Any Ideas anyone? Id really appreciate the help if anyone could spare the time.

ok .... you are on unlocked bootloader .. this means that the steps that you should do is :
flash the kernel provided on rom thread with flashtool ... that gonna gives you the ability to enter CWM .... that should be enough to boot up your phone
or you can enter CWM ... wipe data - cache - dalvik cache ....
install rom again to make sure that everything is ok ....

flashtool wont let me flash any part of the phone.
when I click on flash, then go to flash mode, it gives me the firmware to flash, and to the right theres a drop down box with kernal, loader and s1 boot.
I then click on ok to flash the xperia x10.
flashtool then tells me to unplug the phone, power off the phone, press the back button and plug in the usb cable.
I unplug the phone and the only way for me to turn it off is to take the battery out. I then put the battery back in, press the back button and connect the phone.
A green light comes on my phone and then flashtool says:
20/016/2013 20:16:38 - ERROR -

20/016/2013 20:16:38 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
I then go into help and click check drivers and i get:

The phone then resets itself and the techdevil logo comes back up.
When I click check drivers again it comes up with:

the xperia x10 wont let me back into CWM
If im going about it the wrong way what steps should I follow please?
Thanks

is that the one you talking about ??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846760
i think it is so .... are you on locked or unlocked bootloader ??? you can check with s1tool
if you are on locked bootloader then you cant flash custom kernels so you cant install this rom till you done unlock
if you are on unlocked bootloader so you can continue with this :
first install the file in drivers folder in c:/flashtool/drivers
then download the kernel provided in rom thread and copy it to c:/flashtool/firmwares
click flash ... your phone should be off ... choose kernel file that you downloaded should be shown to choose to flash it ... then press ok and connect the phone in flash mode ... hold back button when plug the cable into pc ... when it starts flashing release it ... after it finishes unplug the cable ... then you could enter CWM and install the rom again

Yes thats the one im talking about
Im unlocked on bootloader and ive done the drivers, and copied the firmware.
Ive clicked flash and follwed what you said to do and the flashtool comes up with:

Then the xperia x10 just returns to the same techdevil bootscreen and wont let me get back into the CWM recovery.

i think you have a problem maybe with your usb port or cable ... because i see in that log that the device keeps disconnected itself ...
maybe you should flash a stock firmware 2.3,enable debugging and unknown sources, root it, then install the kernel you want first, then keep pressing back button when you see kernel logo to enter CWM then install the rom again ... hope that may help

help
you have to flash kernal in that techdevil post.and then install techdevil rom.then its ok
if you have problem then msg me.
if you using various kernal struck at sonyerisson logo.you have to use semc debranded kernal in that post that is slove your problem

Restock using pc companion/ flash stock generic via flashtool. Then flash the kernel.

Consolidated instructions to unbrick your x10 mini pro

So you did the inevitable... you got a phone that's bricked.. fear not.. this happens to all of us.. consider it a "right of passage" when it comes to dealing with custom ROM's
Here at xda, help is never too far away (I was there once too)
I've tried to get you back to functioning latest Local 2.1 with recovery (xrecovery)
0) You'll lose all data with this method....
come to terms with that... not stuff on the sd card but data of your phone, sms'es, contacts, applications etc
1) Turn off your phone
Pull the battery and reinsert it if you have to...
2) Install Flashtool
go here and downlad flashtool
Install on your windows pc
Thank Androxyde and Bin4ry for this kickass tool
3) Download and flash stock 2.1
Go to this thread and download a 2.1 rom in your language of choice (Dont worry that it's not your local ROM)
4) Flash this rom using Flashtool
In the first link there is a how-to. follow it and flash the downloaded ROM from step 3
Once you have 2.1 on your phone,
5) Enable USB Debugging and Root
Use flashtool and root your phone using the simple button "Root" (I know!! what an awesome tool right!!?? )
Once rooted, disconnect the phone.
6) Get yourself a root file manager
Download a file manager capable of root access such as root explorer or solid explorer.
7) Access and edit the build.prop file
Open the file manager. U should get a superuser prompt to allow root access. Touch "Allow". Go to /system and mount the system as RW. there's a file there called build.prop. open it in a text editor. Find all instances of a number that looks like this 1238-9045 (this is my build number, yours will not be the same). Edit this number(all 3 instances) to look like your build number (Found on original box or behind the battery). Save the file and exit
8) Update via SEUS OR PC companion
Now connect your phone back. PC companion or SEUS will tell you there is a new update available. follow the instructions and you'll be running the latest 2.1 for your region and variant of the mini pro
9) [optional] Root and recovery
The new firmware installed by SEUS/PC companion is not rooted. If you need it, root again (same way as in step 5). once rooted, click "Ask root perms" on flashtool. Once root access is confirmed, install xrecovery from the menu.
Hope that helped!
Enjoy
Edit: if you get an error while opening flashtool saying "JVM could not be started because heap size bla bla bla..." Please try on another pc and maybe reinstall windows on urs

Repair it with SEUS or PC Companion.
Step A: leave your phone disconnected from your PC
Step B: Run SEUS/PC Companion, and select update
Step C: It doesn't recognise your phone because it's disconnected and give you a repair option
Step D: Select it, choose your model, it will download the firmware
Step Ea: You get a popup, Press the back-button on your phone while it's off and plug in the USB-Cable
Step Eb: If you can't turn off your phone, plug in the USB-cable and press home- and power-buttons at the same time, it will do a hard reboot and enter flashmode.
Step F: Wait till it's done...
everything past item 3 is pretty hard since we can't acces anything on phone(that's bricking a phone right) to enable usb debugging.
Good tutorial though for those who installed a custom rom and they want to revert to original plus root acces.
Any ideea how to force seus or flash to force flash?

cant flash using SEUS...its saying i have latest version but in reality the phone is already bricked by me and not having the original stock firmware... now it just keeps restart with sony erricson logo and turns off again and bootloop...cant root, cant flash... heard that there is some special modified usb that will make the bootloader enter download mode so that we can flash fresh firmware inside it?

You can always flash... post your model and if your bootloader is locked or unlocked ( since you're on SE kernel logo, i assume it's locked), and i can provide you with stock firmware (E10i or U20i) to flash with flashtool.

hi, i am u20i model...i accidentally locked the bootloader while having nna kernel i think, because flashing customised rom and kernel, my phone will enter bootloop, thats why i pressed Restore inside s1tool.exe, which got my bootloader locked....
and now that my bootloader is locked, and i cant root my phone without turning it on( the phone bricked cant turn on anymore) i cant unlock my bootloader to flash new kernels into it... please do provide stock firmware and rom for me... i can only flash stock kernel, but not the rom... after i flashed the stock u20i kernel, i dont know how to flash the original rom into my phone, since now my phone, didnt have the CWM or XRecover anymore, which can browse my SD card, and install the rom from .zip files....
flashing stock kernel no problem but did not know how to flash the stock rom

Download this, It's the complete SE 2.1 Firmware (Kernel and ROM), flashable with flashtool.
(It's about 213.5MB, although the site may display it's less in your download dialog, but it will keep downloading till it's all there)

[SOLVED] E10i bricked after flashing E10_nAa-11_2.6.29.6-nAa-11.ftf

Hi,
My X10 mini (E10i) was rooted some months ago.
I decide to install miniCM7.2, so I succesfully unlock the bootloader, then kernel flashing appears to be ok, but when I reboot it, it show a new big logo, and after a while, a kind of animated background was visible. But it loop indefinitely on this animation, freeze, screen become blank, then reloop ...
I can't reboot it, I can't remove the batterie (it's hidden into the device)

I will, but for the moment it loop but it probably not reboot in loop, since I seen the logo once. And now it's only the screen animation that run 2 seconds, stop, black screen, and loop on screen animation with different colors

Re-flash to stock.
Make sure you garbed the correct downloads.. re-read instructions.
unlocked bootloader? While in bootloop zone,press and hold power button + middle button.phone should reboot, and u can go to recovery and install ROM
Again, how to reflash in the current situation ?
The good news is that flashtool detect the phone, but I can't reflash because I can't shutdown the phone ...
Do first things what i say, if that not work, u should reflash to stock rom with SEUS, with repair mode.
I miss your first post. In fact I wait all the night that battery become empty, and run flashtool, push foward and plug. I probably wait 5' that the phone has enought energy, then flashtool detect the phone and flash it with the stock kernel.
And it's works !!!!
note: the colored screen animation that was looping, was in fact the Sony Ericson logo presentation during the boot

Thanks. This has worked to reinstall a ROM on my SE Xperia X10 Mini
Hey there,
I have a similar problem here, but I can't solve It.
Did a Hard Reset by pressing the Power key and Home Key. I also tried to click the Reset button under the phone cover near the IMEI codetag thing.
I have tried to use the X10FlashTool, SEUS (it only says that i have the newest software already)
When I try to start the phone all i can see is a black screen and nothing else.
Any more solutions i can try?

[Q] Unable to boot in recovery mode - sony ericsson X10 mini

Hello everyone, I am using sony ericsson x10 mini mobile phone. I want to install custom ROM cyanogen 7 gingerbread. But I am facing problem while booting this in recovery mode. I have tried the following.
downloaded custom rom for xperia mini and copied in to sdcard
installed ROM Manager Premium (not purchased, downloaded from google search and it is working fine)
installed root explorer
S1 tool
Rooted from superoneclick
downloaded xRecovery and copied into system folder
Flash tool - showing bootloader unlocked, and dont know how to flash phone.
msm7227 - used for unlock boot loader
I have rooted my phone successfully, all above things did successfully, when i am trying to boot my phone into recovery mode then it is not boot in that mode instead it boots in normal mode. What I am doing when phone starts and sonyericcson appears then i continuously pushing button many times but it boots in normal mode. So what I have to do to boot my phone in recovery mode. I have read and tried many guides in your forum but nothing works. Please help me.
Use FlashTool to flash a custom kernel (many cKernels haves recovery included, like nAa kernel). Follow these steps:
Download the ftf file of the kernel.
Drag it into the Flashtool window.
Another window will appear, then power off your phone and connect it to USB with the Back button pressed.
The flashing process takes less than 5 seconds, disconnect your phone when Flashtool says "Flashing Finished".
All right, now you can enter to recovery
Note: If you don't want a custom kernel, you lost your time unlocking the bootloader
I have tried to flash my x10 mini, like I have downloaded the flash file .ftf and with help of FlashTool_0.2.5 done flash my phone. Now flashing displayed some error and after 10 - 15 seconds I disconnected my phone but now phone is turning on. So I want to know what should i do and can I able to turn on my phone again. Please help me .
EDIT
Phone is stuck in boot loop at just before sony ericcson LOGO appears
when i attach it to pc to flash it displays

Hmm... I think you're not connecting your phone correctly, FlashTool should say "Device connected in flash mode" when you connect it correctly.
Are you sure that you're following the steps that I mentioned before?
Hi, you were right, i was not connecting my phone correctly in flash because battery connector was not connected properly. That's why my phone was booting. Now I have restored my phone in stock ROM which is downloaded from website. But the problem is I am unable to install custom ROM on my phone. On my phone android 2.1 has installed when I am flashing with new kernel ( E10_nAa-11_2.6.29.6-nAa-11 ) then it stuck into boot loop at sony ericsson animated logo. That's why I have to again flash it with stock ROM to make its working. I think this kernel is not compatible with android 2.1. I want to know is there any other way to install custom ROM on this phone means with the help of Flash Tool like installing stock ROM. If yes, them please provide me cyanogen 7 firmware stable version. Thank you...
Yes, you're right, custom kernels are not compatible with Sony stock ROM.
I recommend you MiniCM ROM, to install it follow the next steps:
Download nAa kernel, MiniCM zip file and GApps zip file. Copy the zip files into your SD.
Flash nAa kernel.
Enter to the recovery (pressing several times Back button when nAa kernel logo appear).
Go to full wipe/factory reset option. Wait for the process to finish.
Now, got to install zip from SD card option. Seek for the MiniCM zip file that you copied before.
Wait for the process to finish. Go to the same option, selecting now the GApps zip. Wait again. The recovery options will appear once again, go to Reboot now option and wait (the first boot will take a while)
You will lose all your app data when you make a full wipe, so you should consider to make a backup (Titanuim backup i.e.) if you don't want to lose all that.
I you still having troubles, send me a PM

[Q] [HELP] bricked X10i

Hello,
I've tried to install a custom rom ([ROM] SE X10i MM TEAM MiUI 2.3.30 ML), but after installing, the phone didn't boot, stucks at SE logo. I can't start xRecovery, and if I try to start in recovery/flash mode, the green led appears, my computer recognizes it, then after 1-2 secs it disappears and loses the USB connection, so I can't start in recovery mode! And the SE PC Companion restore mode don't works.
Sorry for the bad english.
What does the pc companion say?. Have you tried to reflash your x10 with flashtool?
Sent from X10
Use this tool forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415600
I can't use flashtool, because I can't start my phone in recovery/flash mode. I push the back button, then plug in the usb cable, the green light appears, the flashtool recognizes the phone, after 1-2 secs the green light disappear and the phone loses the USB connection, and the flash tool says "Error flashing aborted.".
The PC comp. can't download the update and it says that I have to visit the support site.
I did factory reset and formatted all the caches before installing the rom.
So, I was able to start it in recovery mode. But the PC companion still not working. When I try to flash with FlashTool, i get this:

Try to flash the stock ROM via SEUS (it will guide you step by step). Then root your device, install Busybox and xRecovery.
If you still want to have a custom ROM installed, make sure folders: system, data, cache & sdcard are mounted in xR - boot into xR, choose Partition Tools, mount all the folders. Then install the ROM.
Hope that will help you.

Ohh, thank you very much, it worked!

Solved [Q] U20 (10W42) root ok, CWM ok, kernel nok, ...

Hi!
I have a Xperia X10 Mini Pro (U20) with Stock Firmware (after recovery with "UpdateService" from SE).
I have installed CWM successfully with "CWMInstaller - Windows - v5".
When I try to install "MiniCM7-2.2.1-mimmi" (or 2.2.2) it says that I need a nAA-Kernel but successfully installs CM7.
When I do a reboot CWM says that "recovery is bad and has to be renewed". After that all I get is the white "Sony Ericsson" lettering (again with the option to start CWM when pressing the back button several times).
So I tried to follow this "Bootloader and kernel guide" and unlock my bootloader first using Flashtool. But when the phone restarts it "hangs" on the white "Sony Ericsson" lettering. When I try again, Flashtool tells me that it is not possible to unlock this bootloader.
My phone is produced 10W42 - could it really be that the ancient stock firmware is the only one which works?
All I want is a more modern and fast (lightweight) android version to use my old phone furthermore.
Thanks in advance for your advice and help!

When you install CWM it is installed in the system part of the ROM. When you installed MiniCM7 it got wiped out, because MiniCM7 is for the nAa-kernel, and in that kernel CWM is built in. Which means it doesn't need to be in the MiniCM7 ROM. That's why you lost it.
And ofcourse it 'hangs' on the white SE lettering, because the ROM you installed does not work with the Sony Ericsson kernel.
You say you unlocked the bootloader, so why don't you flash the nAa-kernel?
Prepare flashtool to flash it, then attach the usb-cable and press home- and back-buttons together to force a restart. If the bootloader unlock was successful the flash will get through and after that, you'll have CWM back and you will continue to boot into the ROM too.
And be very careful not to flash the x10blrelock.ftf by accident, it will definitely break your phone. Best is to remove that from the flashtool/firmwares folder before you proceed.

Thanks for your answer, SmG67.
The problem is, that I have _tried_ to unlock the bootloader, but it did not finish. The "s1tool" still shows a capital R in the version ("RUNNING S1_EROM VER 'R8A029'") which means "not unlocked".
I also tried to install the kernel "U20_2.6.32.61-nAa-06.ftf" but this does not work as the bootloader is locked.
So can you give me a tip, how I could move on?

You should not have proceeded to install the ROM in the first place if you didnt unlock it. Open SONY Update Service in PC, click repair and follow what they say. When you connect your phone to PC for repair, follow what SmG67 told you

I am unsettled now, so I want to make sure to do the right things:
I have "repaired" the phone using UpdateService and made the first setup - phone is now running and USB debugging is switched on.
Then I started flashtool and clicked on the flash-button (U20_2.6.32.61-nAa-06.ftf); followed the instructions but it quits working after phone restart with the following output:

The phone is connected and shows an orange LED and the loading screen; nothing else happens.
Regarding to S1info the bootloader is still locked:

Root the phone again with flashtool and then unlock the bootloader using flashtool. After that, you should be able to flash the kernel.

Thanks to your reply, I was able to root the device with flashtool. Afterwards I successfully started Superuser and switched off the phone again.
While unlocking the bootloader (button BLU) with flashtool afterwards it gave me the following output:

There are no errors this time, but again nothing more happens: phone is loading and showing orange LED.
I am surprised of the log line saying that "Bootloader status is UNROOTABLE"?
btw: S1info still gives me a uppercase "R" for "not unlocked".
Can I proceed flashing the U20_2.6.32.61-nAa-06.ftf?

That will fail since your bootloader is still locked. Not sure why flashtool failed to unlock it, but maybe you can try the manual method, as linked to in the opening post of the kernel.

You mean to unlock bootloader with "msm7227_semc.cmd" as stated in the "Bootloader and kernel guide" (from above)?
Because this always leads to:
Code:
process requires standard 2.x android firmware.
Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . .
Getting ROOT rights.
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
and the phones LED flashing red sometimes
Thats not the first device I am using custom firmware with, but this phone resists all my attempts.
Finally I managed to run CM7 on my phone following this german instruction.
My mistake was that during the flash process the phone has to be switched on normally and not to be connected in flashmode (pressing back button while plugging USB in).
Thanks for your suggestions and hints!
