Stuck on "XPERIA" logo, won't charge - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Xperia x10 boots, but get's stuck at the Xperia logo...then just sits there until the battery dies. It doesn't charge once it gets to this point apparently. I can get to recovery, but that's it. I cannot get this into Flash Mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm just trying to get this back to a usable state (that charges).
The weird thing is once the phones has enough of a charge to boot, it automatically boots, then gets stuck at the logo again, then dies dies again. I can at least get it into recovery, but no indicator about battery level and if it's charging.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, all I'm really looking to do is turn this into a media player with wifi.
EDIT: when trying to get into flash mode (so I can use the Flashtool), I get the following error:

I cannot get the phone to register with my computer or my wife's. Windows keeps saying the USB device is damaged or unreadable. When in recovery I try to mount and it's successful, but it won't let me actually transfer files onto the phone.

mmm So, Try in UNABLE the "" USB ENHANCED Host Controller """ in Device Managment and then Only Insert the USB with the BACK button pressed.. All of this, without the Flashtool...if the driver could be installed, Everything is correct and everytime that you want to flash an specific kernel you must do That, unable the enhanced host controller, flash your rom or kernel and the enable the host controller

mmmm So, Unable the eXtensible, Generic and Again Enhanced... if not, Unable everything...
Please I'm very sure your loader.sin in the Kernel or Rom you want to install is damaged, try to download it again

Still no luck. I might have to just call this a lost cause and save up for a new phone

Yes bro, me too. I'm saving for a new phone... :/

Alternate idea
Hi Syn,
I am experiencing likely problems at the moment, but have found one strange 'solution':
I am unable to flash a current kernel with nearly the same errors.
BUT I can successfully flash my 'old' stock rom and restart from there.
Strange thing is that the same flashtool works with the stock rom but cannot find the phone with a current kernel.
Wish you luck,
Alexej

[Guide][28-01-12]Xtra Noob guide to help you to get 62 rooted for Neo & V Locked Bl
Alright this is a guide for those that have firmware 62 that can not be rooted,
if you have updated with official SE programs,
i help you people to get 62 rooted !!
This is working for both, Neo And Neo V
and this is with kernel and Firmware !!
Important !!! >> OTA << is over the AIR and NOT with Pc Companion !!!
I Hope That You Peeps Understand This NOW !!
I Dont Tell It 10,000 TIMES !!
* OTA is with the phone itself so no cables, pc etc. NEEDED !! *
For OTA do this:
* Go to Settings
* Go to about phone
* Go to software update
* 1st Install Flashtool. File here:
http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
* If the new flashtool dont work for you, choose the older version of it !!
* Get the tft file here and choose for flashable 42
This is for Neo:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258723
This is for Neo V:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19808360&postcount=3
* Then open de winzip file with win.rar or another program
and put the tft file into firmwares folder in the flashtool menu
(go to your computer then C driver and open flashtool en there you will see
firmwares folder so put the tft file there)
* Open flashtool(double click on the icon or shortcut you have make on you desktop
or go to your C driver and go to flashtool)
* Flashmode:
* Connect your device in flashmode,
* That is pressing the back button on you phone when it`s off
* Connect you usb cable
* wait till flashtool is done( phone reboots automatic)
* flash the file 42 with flashtool,
tick only wiping data & cache.
* turn you phone on
* set usb debugging on
* then go to flashool, advance, root and then
go to zergRush Exploit
* If the Root from flashtool dont work for you,
Use this from DooMlord:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350
* your phone is rooted now and then do the OTA
to get firmware 62 and you done !!
* Last one to install CWM,
* Get the file here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?73xv18tht0e8zt4
these are the steps:
increase your screen timeout to 10 min !!
1. Extract the above files
2. Browse to the Folder
3.Enable USB Debugging on device
4.Connect your device using usb data cable
5. Run " install-cwm1.cmd" for Neo V
6.Follow on screen instruction

Proof is here on my Neo V

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Can I install cwm after using superoneclick
(superoneclick used the zergRUSH exploit)
And if yes, when installing clockwork mod recovery, do i have to keep the sd card mounted or unmount it?
But if we flash ONLY .42 kernel (kernel.sin) will it works?
Because kernel is 6Mb file only and all process is way faster. ??

You need file explorer anyway for explore this app in sdcard...
And no matter where you put this file...without any file explorer you cant install it.

Thanks for this, but is there a way to do this by unlocking the bootloader?
I have already tried unlocking the bootloader physically using the test point, but it didn't work - still says the BL is locked.
I have tried your way, and it works! But I want to install a custom ROM on my Xperia Neo, and every time I install a custom ROM using the CW-Install, it gets hung during boot up.
I should never have switched from HTC...

Which phone do you have main, this is for neo v, its so simple just follow the steps correctly and its done, not so hard to understand. Damn!
I have NEO and just NEo mt15i and im FIX it phone havent 0% of battery i use this GUIDE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312398
and work fine for me EXACLY this part
1. Read the full post, especially the FAQ. In case of doubt, you can use this guide to know how to do things:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1133650
2. Unlock booloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1034087
3. Grab the most recent kernel patch from this thread. The file is boot.img.xxx.7z for your phone (ARC / NEO). We call this the kernel patch, or only the patch.
4. You must be same firmware and patch version, so if you aren't firmware xxx, use flashtools to flash the correct firmware. and wipe the data if downgrading firmware version. You can find some recent stock firmwares in the [Firmwares (.FTF)] section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1304634
5. Use fastboot to flash boot.img contained in file boot.img.xxx.arc.7z (or boot.img.xxx.neo.7z for NEO users). Flash the .img file, not the .7z file .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1116970
6. Now you have a phone showing allways 85% battery capacity
7. Install most recent FuelGaugeFixV??.apk from this thread (Bazoocaze version).
8. For the first time, make sure the charger is plugged, and select "Start full charge" from the apk fix menu (use the menu button to show options). A full charge takes 3h00 ~ 3h40.
9. Now you have a fully charged phone, and apk fix updates battery % acordingly to phone usage.
10. See "Kernel issues" and "APK issues".
11. Press the tanks button on this thread, and optionally feel free to buy me some gift/beer/pizza/coffe.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/dona....php?u=4215483
12. Finish
From end of post im download boot.img.4.0.2.A.0.42.neo.7z cos i have soft 0.42 instal it by fast boot and work for me then install charger monitor and for now phone is charging to full

[Q] [Noob] Installing stock ICS on MT15i with 4.1.B.431_Global - Locked Bootlooader

Hi XDA.
I've been searching and searching for the answer on XDA and other websites and can't quite find the answer i need.
I'm on GB 2.3.4.42 with root and CWM Recovery installed (with a few backups made on the SD Card with a locked bl)
I have checked my phone and I have a locked bootloader which cannot be unlocked (as far as i know?) And I was wondering if it is possible that flashing the stock ICS would work even if my bootloader is locked?
If I could also have a little help on how I would do this that would be fantastic.
Thank you again for taking your time to help me out. Such a noob lol.

Take care guys and thanks a lot for your help.

Try with Sony Mobile Update Serivice before (normal update), full factory restore. Why using flashtool to update?
If with flashtool:
Try again, re download firmware .587 from THIS (why previous .431 if you are flashing?)full charge, disable antivirus or firewall.
Select all wipes, no excludes, check "no final verification".
Enable usb debug on the phone and then shut it off. Connect it (when power off connect it while long pressing "back button") to the pc following flashtool points.
BTW are you really saying that you couldn't find any answer to "Can I update to ICS still I am with locked bootloader?" Maybe you didn't search too much, beacuse it is quite known by all that locked bootloader means that you can flash only original signed Sony firmware.
In fact you had not to worry about bootloader, if you didn't know anything about it and you didn't touch it :good:
So, in final, do you know what are you doing, before messing up something?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973017 hope it helps
Just use seus..just follow the step..

Thanks for your help so far guys, I do know what I'm doing generally but when I go to flash now i've encountered another problem:
When I put debug on, put it into msc and then reboot the phone ready for flash I get this error and the whole thing aborts. This happens with Sony Companion (when I tried the .62 update) and SUS - which meant i couldn't get past the 3rd page :C
Any idea what the problem is?

Does this happen with other usb devices..or only with the phone???
If it happens with all devices..then restart pc..happened to me once..restarting solved it..
If its only with the phone..then reinstall ADB DRIVERS.. Goto Flashtool >drivers and click on Flashtool-drivers.exe
Just try again It will work

Apreicate your help.
When I go to reinstall the Drivers I forgot to mention this and didn't really think anything of it, I get this error:
The phone also doesn't appear in my driver manager either =/
The error I get:
Also showing my phone connected to my pc:
I have absolutely no clue where to go from here :c
+Xperia > Connect > MSC
+Developer Options > USB Debugging on
+Security > Unknown Resources
+Install Drivers : Flashmode // ADB Neo drivers
+Make Sony PC Companion recognize your phone.After it recognizes..close it.
+If your system is 32 bit , open flashtool.exe if it is 64 bit , open flashtool64.exe .
+Sometimes windows install drivers for your phone.Wait until it finish.
+And don't forget.Don't open Flashtool - doom or other root / boot stuffs together.ADB servers will be out of date.So just open flashtool.
+If you have a antivurs, close it.
+If there is another program which can delete files automatically..you should close it too!
+Be fast when you are trying to make phone enter flashmode.Don't wait much.
+When you try to install drivers, installer will open.And it will ask you for your permission.Just accept all of them.
Don't forget wipe data / cache..and be sure that .ftf is right.
I hope you will make it
Is that Windows8??....then the best option would be to use a Win7 pc..but if u dont have one rite now..
In your device manager..goto Sony saXXXX..update ADB interface driver software..if that doesnt work then..
uninstall driver..disconnect usb..unselect USB debuggin..reselect it and plug in the usb..let windows install drivers..
Thanks so much guys for your help!
I've just changed from the USB2.0 port to a 3.0 and the S1Boot driver suddenly installed and now flashing! I'll edit this when its finished flashing!

hmm..it should say flashing finished almost instantaneously..at this point..
Did u follow the steps mentioned in my guide perfectly??? wipe data, cache, apps log before flashing??
If you look at the middle you Will see "not rootable", so probably you've done something wrong.
Why did you use S1 driver?
Anyway uninstall flashtool, then open update service and follow it to the end. This should make you connect the phone in flashmode and the driver Will be installed automatically if connected to the net.
...and you Will install ics.
Again use flashtool only if Update Service is not helping you in order to get what you want.

Sorry I couldn't reply sooner, been busy.
Anyways, I stopped the flash while it was in progress which "bricked" it. So I used SEUS to restore it and then used your instructions to reflash it again. Worked flawlessly the second time! Thank you so much everyone for your help! :good:

X10 Mini pro doesnt boot

Hey,
i reflashed the Firmware using Seus.
After Seus finished, it says to reboot, so i did.
But it doesnt Boot up, there is a black screen with a bit of light, then it is really black and then its again a black screen with light. Looks like a bootloop.
What can i do?

Before reflashed with SEUS, did you unlock bootloader? (this should not be a problem)
Before reflashed with SEUS, did you flash custom kernel? (this should not be a problem)
Before reflashed with SEUS, did you lock bootloader still with a custom kernel? (this is a problem)
Else
Try to remove the SD-card and the turn on the phone without SD-card.

If it still do not boot up. Try boot with charger plugged in.
If it still do not boot up. Try to reflash again.
No i did nothing, its was full stock with locked bootloaders...
The SD-Card is not insert...
It doesnt boot up while the charger is plugged in, but it installs the driver...
I reflashed...
Nothing works
Its not my phone, my friend had many problems:
-slow
-it only boot sometimes
-the notification bar was sometimes in the middle of the screen, and everything was postponed...

Try wallplug, not PC
EDIT: I had this problem too once. Solved it by changing battery (my wife got same phone).
My battery worked well in my wifes phone.
I think it's related to ballery stats
With onother full battery of the same type it doesnt work either...

Just pull out battery for 3 minutes.
then plug charger & if you See Sony LOGO press the power button to bootup (1minute after charging)
If you can't see Sony logo so just flash the stock frimware again & you'll be fine:thumbup:

Sounds like a hardward fault, since you also said the notifications were sometimes in the middle of the screen, I would think the flex is damaged ( the ribbon cable that connects the phone/keyboard part to the screen ), replacing that may solve your problems.
Okay, but what have this connector to do with the booting?
Is there any Service Manual from the x10 mini pro?

there are so many..

not a clue
did you try to flash cwm? can you boot to cwm?
if you can try at clear battery stats
How can i flash CWM with the Flashtool?
Edit:
I need root, or not...
It seems from the log that your bootloader can not be unlocked. You are in a bricked state. Try to google out the solution.

Root E2306 M4 aqua Guide

So I've been working on trying to get my phone rooted for a while and finally got it working after a few threads and trial and error so i thought i'd share my findings.
So to root your E2306 (Xperia m4 aqua) you will need:
Stock rom: https://userscloud.com/vaqpt1y0xdnu
Rootkit: https://www.dropbox.com/s/edse0h6b02odzn1/rootkitXperia_E23xx.zip?dl=0
Adb: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0MKgCbUM0itNVB1elljU2NPR0k
Flashtool: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
And Finally Twrp installer (If you want a custom bootloader): https://www.dropbox.com/s/yomdwq3p2le9hvi/M4Aqua-lockedTWRP-0.1-installer.zip?dl=0
1. Go download all of the items listed.
2. Install ADB using Installer.
3. Install Flashtool.
4. Run flashtool and click devices then check drivers and make sure your phone shows up.
5. You will need to install phone drivers using flashtool, go to C:\Flashtool\drivers and run Flashtool-drivers.exe
6. Check "Flashmode Drivers" and "Fastboot Drivers" then click install. If a red warning or something shows up saying drivers not safe click install anyway.
7. Now check drivers again and your device should show up.
8. Next copy E2306_26.1.A.1.112_Latin America Generic[WwW.SonyROMS.iR].FTF to C:\Users\(YourUsername)\.flashTool\firmwares
9. Now go to flashtool and click the lightning strike called "Flash Device".
10. Chose "Flashmode" and click "OK".
11. Setup as shown and click flash.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(APPS_LOG and USERDATA)
12. The log will say preparing files for a bit then a window will open up saying to turn off device and plug it back in. Turn off your phone then hold the volume down while plugging the micro usb back in.
13. The LED will go green showing that its in flashmode, the device should then flash the new rom.
14. Once done disconnect usb and reboot, the boot may take a while 5-10 min.
15. Once booted go to Settings -> About Phone -> then click the build number until you unlock developer mode.
16. Go into developer options and enable "USB Debugging".
17. Plug the phone back in and extract "rootkitXperia_E23xx".
18. Now Copy "files", "src" and "install.bat" into C:\adb.
19. Run install.bat as normal (Not admin) and a box will pop up on your phone asking to trust pc. Do trust pc and let the install.bat continue.
20. The install will say invalid socket, rebooting to avoid crash. Let the phone reboot while staying connected to pc.
21. The phone should boot and the install will finish.
22. You should now have root.
Guide for Custom Recovery (DO ROOT FIRST)
1. Remove "files", "src" and "install.bat" from the ADB folder.
2. Copy the "files", "src" and "install.bat from "M4Aqua-lockedTWRP-0.1-installer" into C:\adb
3. Run install.bat and it will ask for root on phone, grant it root and it should install.
4. To boot into recovery shut down phone and power it on. The phone will show a blue LED at the sony logo. Click volume down and it will show a Purple LED and boot into TWRP.
Warning: DO NOT REBOOT INTO RECOVERY USING "Reboot into recovery/ Reboot Recovery" IT DON'T WORK.

But I downgraded from E2363 to E2333 can't I get back???
Those are two different models of phone. If you are rooting a E2363 then you need a Rom for that. Check your about phone. Does it say what model you have?
I used to have E2363 but I downgraded to E2333 and rooted using roottoolkit
That's the actual phone model? There's a piece of paper in the sdcard spot. Pull it out and look for the model number there.
the image is not showing in the tutorial
Thanks mate!
Everyone who has another type of M4 Aqua can do this too!
Just use an old firmware for your device (in my case E2303).
I used 26.A.2.128 and followed every step.
Thanks @boho555 !!! :good:

Try this firmware https://userscloud.com/p4m0v8k4czmf
Also "ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device" this means you don't have the drivers installed. Check C:\Flashtool\drivers and run flashtool drivers.exe
Then choose "Flashmode" and "Fastboot" drivers then install.

Alright, the firmware your downloading is the only one that will work for your device. However that error seems driver related. Try installing drivers off your phone. (Settings->XperiaConectivity->UsbSettings then switch on "Install software". Then plug the phone in and check the notification bar for a notification to install software.)
Firmware link?
I've been tring to get this to work on my E2306 with no joy for several days now. I'm getting bootloops after flashing the firmware from original post.
I have also downloaded it from two other sources and would always get to the same result.
By the way, it would show in Flashtool when you select the file as being buit for the D2306 (not E2306) !!
So would anyone have another link for the firmware *A.1.112 for E2306 ???
