What did you do to your X10 that made it do this? What did you try flashing via Flashtool that didn't work?
i was on miui e all gone well....after i tried to install the black edition HD...after that i had this problem...
if i try to connect in to flash mode x10 to pc, it don't work...the pc don't recognize my x10
Did you format your data after changing ROM?

HElp Help Help!!!!
Ok. Judging by the fact that you're stuck on the Sony Ericsson logo, I'm assuming you're on the stock kernel and also on locked bootloader. Because you tried to install BlackHD Edition as well, I'm assuming you also have CWM.
The simplest method is if you made a backup in recovery and can access recovery. If you did this, you can simply restore the backup to get the ROM and data you were using before back. If this does not work properly (sometimes backups are screwed up somehow in recoveries), read on for the flashing method.
The X10 showed a green LED when you plugged it in which suggests that it can access flash mode (which is what I'd expect if you didn't tamper with the X10 so much as to break even that). If you have FlashTool, the following series of instructions should work:
1. Download the Xperia X10 stock firmware and move them to the firmware folder of the X10 FlashTool (the firmware can be found in this thread as well as the latest FlashTool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746)
2. Open FlashTool and press the flash button at the top left of the program
3. Select the stock firmware from the list and press ok
4. Instructions telling you to turn off and unplug your phone and plug it in with flash mode should pop up (hold back while plugging the cable in). Follow them and wait.
If you did this properly, you should have flashed the stock Sony Ericsson firmware with everything as it was when you bought the phone (if you flashed the 1.6 firmware) or updated the X10 to 2.3.3 (if you flashed the 2.3.3 firmware). That should be the most fail-proof and reliable way (I've saved my X10 from my stupid experiments through this several times already)
Just a little side note: If my assumptions are correct, you tried to flash the BlackHD Edition MIUI-based ROM through CWM on a locked bootloader and stock Sony Ericsson kernel probably without flashing the lockedbl.zip that's provided in the BlackHD Edition thread. Most FXP custom kernels work with that ROM without a problem, but the stock one just doesn't because it's far too different. You could have either chosen the locked or unlocked installation method on the thread (I know because I've done it before). The unlocked one requires an unlocked bootloader and a FXP custom kernel, neither of which I think you have. The locked method only requires CWM installation and for you to flash the lockedbl.zip after installation. I think your issue must have come from the fact that you forgot that last part, or some other strange error occured.

yours assumptions are correct.
About instructions to how to connect to flashtool, i know they. i click on flash button, select firmware and when pop up to plug-in, i do it...but don't work...don't connect...
As in, it doesn't recognise the device?
I think there's another way where you take the battery out and plug the phone into the computer. The green LED should light up for about 5-10 seconds (when it's in flash mode) where you have a window to select the firmware and flash. I haven't personally tried it, but I'm asking someone who has done it about how it's done. You might want to try that method as you can't really do much else with your phone right now. I'll update this post once I know the exact method and details

anything news? please i need help!!!!!!
Once flashtool asks you to connect USB cable..connect the phone with the battery removed. THEN replace the battery while holding the power button and it should start up into flashmode.
It may even work without holding the power button...
Its strange because when stuck at SE logo you can't follow the on screen directions to get it to work

If your bootloader is locked, you can choose the option to repair phone in pc comp. Another possibility why your phone is not detected might be because of drivers.
It may also because of his usb not working , the problem might have started . I want to check out whether your phone is charging and i also want to know that in devicemanager your phone when connected in flash mode shows as "semc usb device "
Thanks

Try This Once..Worked For Me
Hi there,
yesterday I tried to root my new Tablet Z (16GB, LTE, Model: SGP321, Firmware: 10.4.B.0.569) and it doesn't start since then.
I used an ubuntu live CD for all these tasks because fastboot doesn't work on my win 8.1 and my debian wheezy didn't have the libc-dev needed in its repositories (didn't want to mess with packets that weren't yet integrated into my OS).
What I did:
unlock the bootloader according to http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/how-to-root-10-4-b-0-569-t2590781
a few annotations to this:
the firmware rar didn't include a "Recover.zip", so I used the boot.img directly inside the firmware rar
although sony and this CM tutorial use the "-i" parameter of fastboot, I didn't use it because it wasn't used by the tutorial
after I did the "fastboot reboot" step, the device wasn't listed anymore when typing "fastboot devices", which, I think, is okay since the device should restart then.
I think it didn't really restart, because the LED on the side glew red.
I tried to turn on the tablet but it didn't do anything (the LED kept glowing red).
I tried holding vol up and power for a few seconds (until the LED blinked first once and then three times) but the tablet wouldn't do anything except for the LED glowing red. at somepoint, the LED would turn off (I think that happened when I hold vol up and power for more than 10 sec).
I was able to let it glow red again by pressing vol up and power again and release the vol up button before the power button.
I also tried to use the PC companion on my windows machine to repair the tablet but the tablet wasn't even recognized (either using the fastboot-procedure by holding vol up while connecting the tablet nor normal plugging in...)
any ideas what I could do next?
Same Problem!
Hey wullxz!
I have the same problem. Red LED most of the time, and I cannot make ANY USB connection to the PC. The tablet won't show up in the device manager. So obviously cant use flashtool, nor PC companion. Ive tried all this volume up and down button stuff, but simply cannot get it to show up on the computer.. Tried a different USB cable as well.. Same issue. The USB port is definitely not broken. Its brand new..
Have you found any solution ? Or anyone else? Mine just got back from Sony Repair.. they wont fix it cuz they detected that Ive tampered with the original software.... meaning Warranty Lost!
Great!
hi,
i also sent mine to sony for a repair. i wrote that i did a firmware update and the tablet wouldn't boot afterwards.
i didn't try the bootloader-unlock again afterwards.
Help Needed!
Tablet Z with unlocked bootloader and rooted 10.1.C.0.370
My issues occured after a downgrade to 4.1.2.
I CAN:
1) Start my tablet, everything normal...
2) Charge my tablet
3) Go into safe mode
4) Go into fastboot mode (solid BLUE LED)
5) Use the memory card and use root apps (maybe this could help restore?)
I CAN NOT:
1) Get my PC to recognize that a USB device is connected. Neither in Mass Storage mode, Media mode, nor fastboot mode.
- Tried with several cables and computers (this is not a driver issue, since it won't show up at all in device manager)
- Flashtool obvious;y says, no device connected
2) Get in to flashmode: device blinks red for about half a second, then green for half a second, and then LED is off. Nothing recognized via USB on PC
3) Get into recovery mode
4) Update over WIFI (fails because unlocled bootloader I suppose)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
i think you should open a new thread for your problem because it seems like it's not really similar to my issue.
you should get more/better replies in an own thread.

let it charge to 100%, check for flashmode drivers installed and then try attaching it to pc only when flashtool asks you to do it.

Hey thanks for your reply... It wont go into flashmode... Theres something fundamentally wrong.. I cant figure out what... I leave it plugged in for 48 hours..but it doesnt really get full.. the most Ill get the orange LED.. like 50%... now its on since about 12 hours.. no LED on at all... strange..
But yea.. no flashmode... Nothing showing up when connecting the USB cable... nothing in device manager..and therefore flashtool sees nothing!
SOLVED
Problem solved! I can't believe it. Two bad(?) USB cables. Bought a new one, charges fine, flashmode fine. Flashed stock ROM.
However the Camera still doesn't work. Maybe the problem of the cable inside which may have come loose!
Hi there peeps!
My Xperia Z2 has gone into a bootloop, with no recovery, no boot logo, not registering ADB / fastboot drivers anymore.. BUT.. the buttons seems to work, so i may reboot it some different ways. The only indication of life it got, is the red light when booting.
Someone want to tag team with me to find the solution?
Donation will be gived to a working solution
Best regards!
There is no solution for this atm. The best way to fix it is to send it to the service center.

I may have a solution. Red light usually means it cannot boot the kernel.
I have a simple fix. Follow this guide and make sure to download the firmware of your exact model and current software version number.
When you get to this step, on the right side don't check anything under 'WIPE', leave them blank. And under 'EXCLUDE', check everything except 'KERNEL'. Leave Kernel blank and the rest under exclude check them.
Proceed and press 'volume down' and connect the usb cable at the same time. Let the flash finish and boot the phone back up. Let me know how it goes.
Thanks! I'm trying your solution now, but i dont think it works... none of the drivers are either so. Give me some hours, i will walkthrough here
I can say, it is NEARLY dead i would think, but there must be a way somehow..
Yeah, this will not work.. It gets stuck on "HOLD THE VOLUME DOWN + PLUG THE CABLE" and both ADB and Fastboot are missing so.. It won't do anything there. Holding the Volume UP + Power reboots (that works for some reason). And the orange reboot button in the charging is working but nothing that will help me i think.

When the device is connected in flash mode (USB + Vol down), go to device manager and see if the device is there (may be called 'Xperia Z2" or "Unknown Device", right click and go to properties and update drivers to this. Update me how it goes. I had the EXACT same issue and it took me some time to resolve, by solving the drivers issue you can flash the kernel again without losing data.
If that doesn't work, install these drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Hi!
When my went to Bootloop the only thing that woked was using sony's Pc recovery tool.

Try Software repair on the new Xperria Companion
http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiaz2/tools/xperia-companion/
Both Sony Companion and Sony Emma are not registering the devices, but after fiddling around with VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN and lots of trying, at some point the device manager finds a unknown device. "hiredantispammer" may got the solution, but i will try all posted solutions right away! Post update soon
1. On "VOLUME DOWN + PLUG" the Device Manager refreshes, and the Z2 got the "red light" -- but Device Manager does not show any connected devices nor drivers needed.
2. The Sony Companion does not find the device either.
But.. i was reading about some Windows 10 driver problems, so i will try switch to Windows 7 x32 to ensure the drivers are working correctly.
Another thought.. Is it some way to put a "update.zip" on a sdcard for force installation of new kernel or anything?
Yeah, the solution is right. Hopefully Win 7 solves your driver issues. I had to reformat my laptop and install Win10 again because of driver issues when I have the exact same issue as you. Hope you get your phone working again!

And no, there's no other safe way to reflash the kernel. Even with an unlocked bootloader, you need fastboot drivers.
This worked for me.
Grab your original cable and make sure the phone is charged to st least 80%.
Start the pc companion and the repair program.
Hold the down key and connect to the computer.
In around 20 minutes the phone is repaired
Hope this helps.
It is important to use proper cable and not any old thing laying around. Mine would not connect until i got the original one.
Ah, charge your device fully. Reboot Windows 10 in safe mode and disable driver signature. Install device drivers. Use Sony PC companion or flashtool to fully reflash the right firmware for you device. You are still able to turn it off and on, so it should work if you do it right.
Best to first flash just the kernel and see if it boots, if it doesn't since you have the firmware files, flash everything and don't wipe data.
Hello friends, i have a problem with an old Sony LT18i from a cousin, he brought it to me because he has the China Mobile variant with no GApps and android version was 2.3.4, i thought it might be solved with a simple flash via FLashtool, but when i've completed the downloading of the ftf file and went to flashtool to flash it, when the flashtool ask me to put it in flashmode pressing the back button and connecting to usb the phone led only blinks of 0.5 sec and then boots into normal mode.
Tried the same with fastboot and then i got the same blink for 0.5s with no detection at all. That surprised me as well i've have flashed succesfully other Xperia devices with no problems of led blinks at all. Now my problem is that later i tried to root the phone and installing CWM to flash another ROM or GApps package, and when i finished to install the recovery now the phone is bootlooping and never gets to boot normally.
I've tried with 4SE dongle to flash it via Testpoint and it doesn't work as the phone manufacture model is 12W13 (new security) which the dongle doesn't support, tried with S1 Tool with version 28II215 and 080714 and i only get PHONE NOT SUPPORTED IN THIS MODE when i try to flash and when trying to unlock the bootloader it gives me NOT SUPPORTED MCU REVISION.
The phone was working well until the CWM installation except for the flashmode and fastboot mode, now i really need to flash it and i can't find a way to do it, i also have RIFF JTAG and Z3X Easy JTAG box but no JTAG available for this model except for Medusa Box which only supports phones with manufacture date less than 12W10, i was wondering if there´s a way to access via QHUSB_DLOAD mode doing the testpoint to manually flash partitions to device or something like that. If you might have a workaround or a solution to at least let the phone in the way it was it will help me a lot. Thanks in advance, sorry if my english isn't so great.
So my mothers xperia z5 compact have gone totaly bricked after making a software update and i can't find a way to fix it in anymay. It bootloops and after the white sony logo it shows a dead android with the message "Fel" (Wrong in swedish) and and just continue in a cirle like that. I can't seem to get into either recovery or fastboot tried with adb/fastboot with the computer still can't acces it, neither sony companion recognice it. Anyone can maybe have a solution will make a big help here because i'm totaly out of ideas to fix this.
This will remove all data, except SD card.
Requires Windows and a 2.6GB download.
Search for flash-tool-for-xperia-devices download Sony''s website and install, will install as Emma
Hold volume down and insert a USB that is already connected to your pc, release when power LED turns green
In Emma chose an service and click Apply Service
This will download and install it to the phone.
Download flash tool and download the proper tft using xperifirm then flash it.... http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
If you search the forum you can definitely find a guide on how to use the program.
I also bricked my phone. Tried flashing a generic TFT in Flashmode via the Flashtool, and it seemed to go through.
But now, it shows "Update failed, please connect your computer" logo when I try to boot it.
I had previous tried mucking around in fastboot mode trying to flash Lineage.
I may have accidentally messed up my boot.img. If so, which one will I need to flash, and how to go about doing it?
