Hello everybody!
First off all i am new...
I have an xperia x10 mini and I tried to make this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553 and got to step in the selection "- Start the Flashtool\X10FlashTool.exe and select Flash. Then select the E10_nAaxxx kernel firmware (this flashes both the kernel.sin and the loader.sin)
- Keep the back button pressed while connecting the usb cable. Flashtool should detect your phone and flash the kernel.
- Once done, disconnect the usb cable and power on the phone"... after I unplugged the cable and tried to turn on the phone nothing happens! No green LED does not light!!! either in flash mode can not enter!
What I need to do to turn it on?
Please help me!
I have the same problem as yours happened a months ago, I flashed the wrong kernel and there is no power to turn the phone on so I decided to send it to repair center by using JTAG riff box. That's the only solution I found for bringing back the life of the phone. Sorry for what happened to your phone but that's the only way, totally hardbricked
Btw, try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560613
That's for unlocking the bootloader and also provides flashing kernel without using command lines, you may try this the next time you'll be having a working Xperia so no hustle
Thank you very much i will try this one! If is not working i will send him to a service!
Thanky again!

Hey, I know this is not correct place for Xperia X10 issue's, but i need to display it in general section, as this one is getting critical..
I uploaded a custom rom on my xperia x10, for that i unlockd the bootloader and stuff..
Now, my phone is switched off since 15 days, when ever i try to switch it on, it vibrates once and nothing at all afterwards...if i press power button again, it won't vibrate, unless and untill i remove the battery and reinsert it in phone..
i see three red flashes of light, when connected to PC..
1. PC Companion for update, repair and custom repair is not working...most of the time phone is not detected..
2. SE-update service is also not working and phone is shown as Xperia arc..
3. Flashtool, doesn't recognize the handset
4. few, technician told me box flash would work, but again, it didn't work out
Now, i don't know much about this, but i do understand that hardware seems to be good, till now, the only issue is software and that to initial boot process i.e. bootloader.
is there any other way i can upload a new custom rom on my xperia ??
or any other solution, will be appreciated..
I'm assuming download mode didn't work? Pull battery and insert cord/battery/press back button at same time while aytempting to flash through flashtools?
I have tried flash tools with this method, but doesn't helps..
I don't know about download mode, is it the same done through PC companion..
Thanks

I had the xact same problem and this worked for me..THANKS A LOT..i owe you one
Same issue
I have a similar issue.
When I try to flash it through flashtool, I get this error
"ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed""
Plus the phone is not also going in the recovery mode.
Please please help me.
I tried to flash nAa kernel(unlocked bootloader successfully before) with flashtool and flastool said it succeed. When i reboot my phone it comes up with nAa kernel screen and reboots again. It goes into an infinite loop within rebooting phone, only showing nAa kernel splash screen, nothing more and reboot. I can reach to cwm recovery. I flashed the latest MiniCM7-2.2.0 custom rom and wiped user data/cache. Same problem remained.
I decided to go back the original stock kernel and rom via flashtool. You know the rest; you select the stock files then press ok then it says "oh, ungplug usb, power off, hold back button and plug in usb again". I did this steps several times but flashtool cant recognize my phone. Not even a blink. The weird thing is, when i power off my phone and plugin usb(not doing the holding back button thing) the green light is on(it is not offline charging i know it) same as it goes into flashmode. I tried flashtool again with hope but couldnt recognized phone again. Even S1 tool cant recognize my phone. It seems completly lost!
I tried hopelessly with Pc Companion and get the same result. I found a post about "Gordons Gate Driver" but couldnt get any result with that. No tool can recognize my phone in flashmode, in normal mode(talking about the infinite rebooting state, not even a blink from flashtool).
Im out of ideas, even out of google . Is there someone to provide me with new idea? Or is there something im missing? Please help.
Thank you for reading my adventure hope someone helps.

You did not mention the model of your phone.
Always mention the model when posting.
In 2011 devices:
Press Volume DOWN key for flashmode(for flashing firmware via flashtool)
Press Volume UP key for fastboot mode(for flashing kernel)

I did mention that it is a mini pro in the title. Is there any other model info other than "mini pro", i dont know? I only know that it is a x10 mini pro.
I only know about back button thing, now trying the volume down key. Thanks for the tips.

Nope, it didnt work too. I will give another shot, i guess.
--------------------
Edit: Nothing happens. When i plug my phone with holding button(back, volume up or down) green led turns on. But flashtool(or others) says nothing. By the way, computer cant detect my phone too.

Ok, thanks for the info. I will be carefull about that.
Hi,
I have the SE X10i, one day i tried to power it on and it showed the 3 flash red light, so i charge the battery and then tried to power on the phone.
The phone vibrate once and nothing going up, the screen stay black, no light at the keys.
I tried to install new rom via SERUS, it fails.
tried install via flashtool and it stuck on flashing loader.
As i understand from the flashtool the phone can get into flashmode.(back key and insert the usb cable).
Any help please how to wake up this phone alive.
Thanks.

In flashtool select the Rom you want to flash
Remove battery
Insert USB cable
When software asks you to press back, hold back while putting battery back in, should go straight to flash mode and flash

Also try downloading another stock Rom, maybe the one you have has became corrupted?
Hope that helps if not, you may need a more senior member to help

Today i tried to flash my x10 mini using flashtool and this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256739&highlight=custom+gingerbread+kernel and now my phone is dead, and when i say dead i mean completely dead (cannot even connect in flashmode). Note: this is not the first time i flashed my x10 mini and i never had this problem!
How did i do this? Well, i dont know what i did wrong, i followed the steps as i always do;
-downloaded the latest flashtool
-installed the drivers, both for flashtool and for x10 mini
-downloaded ftf file for the kernel and placed it in the /firmware directory
-entered the flashmode and flashed my phone (everything was working fine and i read the output provided by flashtool, everything seemed to be fine, no errors)
-then i disconnected my phone, and now it's dead.
I tried:
to disconnect the battery
to charge it for a while (i don't know why, but someone said it might help)
connect in flashtool (yes i hold the back button while connecting my phone and did everything as i did before - the only difference is that the green LED doesn't light up! it's dead)
hold power and home button for a while - nothing happened
Anyone else has any idea? I tried everything that i could think of, my phone doesn't respond - no vibrate, no LED, nothing.
Since i tried to install MIUI, but didn't got to that part - my phone has now probably a broken kernel and no ROM whatsoever. I cannot re-flash the kernel because the flashmode doesn't work.
So, any idea?
(oh yeah, i realize that there are some threads with this question - but no real answer, either the OP didn't provide enough info, or the answer is to re-flash the kernel, so i decided to make a new thread)
1 - Maybe you forgot to unlock the bootloader.
2 - Maybe you forgot to install a Custom Rom after you flashed the kernel. The original android version that comes with the phone doesn't work on custom kernels.
3 - If the problem is not one of these 2, then use the Sony Update Service, download it, then you just have to select your model on the program and it will tell you to press the Back Button on the phone and then connect it with usb (still holding the back button), this will bring the phone to it's original state (Stock Android) and back to life.
If i helped press thanks

1. I unlocked bootloader a year ago, unless the bootloader re-locked himself that is not the problem. I said it is not the first time i done it.
2. I didn't install any custom ROM, because the second i plugged my phone out of my laptop (after the flashing was finished) it was dead. No chance to power it on, no chance to enter the flashmode again.
3. I cannot enter the flashmode, if i hold the back button on my phone while inserting the usb cable in - NOTHING happens.
My phone is probably hard bricked. Good thing my warranty expired 1 month ago :S.

If your phone doesn't charge in any way (cable or usb) and doesn't complete the Stock Android Instalation by the Sony Ericksson Update Service then it really is hardware problem that can only be solved by Sony Ericksson :S, the problem is that they will see that the kernel is changed or modified and you gotta pay a lot of money for repairing, so probably a new phone is the best way out if the phone really is dead :S, unless of course you lie to them and they don't figure it out.
Did you install all the necessary drivers? like, installing Pc Companion (will install drivers) from sony ericksson?
Hello
A friend gave me a "broken" Xperia Ray.
Here is what seems to not work :
- long press on power button (up on the phone) = nothing
- charging it only makes a Sony Ericsson logo appearing during few seconds then nothing
- pluging it in a USB port on my computer does nothing.
Any idea about which is the problem exactly ?
It became like this after a fall...
Thanks
It seems like it´s softbricked. Try to flash stock FTF in flashmode (phone off, when you´re connecting it to the PC hold the volume down key, and mantain it until the FTF has flashed), connect via Fastboot or via S1Boot, if your phone is dead yet, it´s a hardware damage.
Greetings and a happy 2014.

Thanks but I found the answer : pins just above battery were... not in place.
Had to put them back to normal state and now it is ok.
Found the answer in another thread here !
