Hello experts , I did a first attempt at installing a custom ROM (Ferra Jelly Bean v 36 for Xperia X10i) and everything went smooth, (my device was rooted and bootloader unlocked and CWM v5 installed) but for the first boot, only SONY ERICSSON appears and just stays that way with the SONY ERICSSON name.
Is it all dead or do I have some hope of reviving it? if yes then can you please help me?

Use SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) to re-flash your original Sony Ericsson ROM.
Download the FeraLab ROM GB v36 zip file to your phone.
Flash FeraLab Kernel v18.4 using Flashtool
Restart your phone.
Enter CWM recovery at the blue light/pink light and install FeraLab GB v36 ROM.
Reboot.
If it doesn't boot up completely and hangs during first start-up , re-flash Feralab Kernel v18.4 and then reboot again.
I'm having the same problem, X10i is stuck on the SE boot screen. This happened directly after I flashed the Feralab v36 rom, however, I couldn't flash the latest kernel beforehand, because flash tool failed to do it. I have xRecovery installed, but I cannot access it. Not only that but it does not seem to want to go into flash mode, have tried using flash tool to flash stock rom, I have tried using SEUS, and PC Companion. Nothing has worked so far.

As @doodownunda has mentioned, if you have access to Flashtool (Not sure why you don't have access to SEUS/PCC then) you can flash Tof37 X10S v9 ROM as the whole thing including kernel is a Flashtool flashable image. It's an all in one Kernel/ROM.
xRecovery is old school and comes with older Kernels, but CWM recovery is the main now.
Volume up button to access CWM recovery at the first flashing light on booting if needed at a later stage.
Seem you didn't flash the right kernel..

My phone is stuck at SE logo.. Xrecovery is also not working.. SEUS also not working. Can rom be flashed vai flash tools . Actually i installed wrong kernel on my rom n the phone became unresponsive.. Please can anyone help. Cant get my phone working.
same here... please can some one help us in installing kernal or roms through flash tools?
if it's stuck at se logo then Seus should work...
flash stock firmware with flashtools and start all over.
Yes, you can
Hi.
I went through something similar, if not the same.
My rom got corrupted with the new kernel, I lost xrecovery and SEUS asks for the SD card to be mounted, which cannot be because ROM did not see it after kernel update.
before reading further, you need to have your phone rooted, you can do it via xrecovery, easily found in this forum.
what did I do to solve it?
***EDITED****
I installed a generic ROM via flashtool, you do not have to boot the phone to do it, the bad thing is that everything will be wiped from phone (not from SD though)
you can find generic X10 stock roms in this forum.
After that, you will be good to go.
hope this helps.
hi i have bricked my ray. I got the ics update from seus the other day and rooted it and tried to flash a status bar mod via cwm and the status bar vanished so i went to restore my backup and i clicked my old gb backup instead of my ics backup by mistake and now it wont boot up it just stays at se logo. I tried flashing gb with flash tool still no luck then tried flashing free xperia unbrick ftf first then reflash gb still no luck. Flash to finishes flashing but at the reboot stage at the end the phone just doesnt boot past the se logo but pc companian picks up that a phone is atached. Please someone help me im beging u.
Hi there!
Do you have flashed GB Kernel fitting your GB Rom of the Backup you have restored?? You need the fitting kernel.
Download Fastboot oder Flashtool, get the kernel img an flash it to your phone.
Bye an good luck!
What ROM do you have installed then currently?
Install the proper kernel also according to this.
Full stock .ftf firmware files should also include kernel.
yea the firmware's iv been flashing have the kernel in them. I think i damaged the bootloader coz al the flashing was succesfull but the ray just wunt boot into android so damaged bootloader. Anyway i gave up and its in for repair lol.

If you have a backup from a working OS using CWM Recovery v5.0,2,7 (This is what I have on my 'rooted' X10i) you should restore it.
Otherwise use SEUS or PC Companion and re-install the Sony base OS.
Normally if you can't boot the system the only option is to re-install.
There is an exception to this guideline, where you could install/reinstall sdcard zips where it is known the zip would/could recover whatever previous updates that were made.
You can use a PC to load a zip on a working SDcard and then use CWM recovery(or xRecovery) to install the 'new' zip to restore the XPERIA X10i.
Just go to Your recovery and flash rom (don't forget to wipe Your data) . Else You can just flash whole new rom using flashtool.

Hello there,
I have recently attempted to install a custom ROM on my Xperia U . I rooted using bin4ry , then unlocked bootloader. Everything was fine up to that point. Then I tried to use RecoverX to install CWM. The tool said it was a success, but device could not boot into recovery.It looked like the tool did nothing. I then found a custom kernel by AOKP that had CWM Recovery in it. I flashed and got recovery , but stuck in bootloop. I recovered from this by flashing B.10 stock firmware on my Xperia U using flashtools. I am now looking for ways to install CWM recovery safely.
What's the best way to install CWM in my current situation?
What caused the bootloop I experienced(out of curiosity)?

AOKP is not stock rom..
so its kernel is also not based n stok rom...thats why you got bootloop...
just download kernel which is based on sock rom like trancsend kernek...or phantom...
if you have jb then experimenatal kernel will be best....
and use flashtool to flash kernel...it is the easiest way to flash kernel..
all this kernels are prerooted and has cwm 6.x.x recovery.....
you will get this kernels in devlopment section....
Thank you!
Got it working!
I started off by installing transcendence kernel for stock ROMs. That went flawlessly and so I was presented with CWM recovery(which I started by repeatedly pressing Vol- when the transcendence logo comes up). Went to look for a ROM and found MIUI v4 for Xperia U, followed the instructions and flashed with CWM recovery.Very beautiful ROM. I got all my files from the Xperia U Development section.
Thanks for your help and a big thank you to the developers who make this possible. highfive:

Most kernels nowadays have light notification or vibration or borh for the time you need to press the volume button for cwn, if yours does you only need to press it once within 3 seconds.
Ok, I am going to list my problem/query along with information i have gathered over the best part of 3 hours.
So, I have been doing some research regarding CWM recovery to be installed on my x10. I have already rooted and BLU my x10 and every thread I have read says that CWM is the most simplest way to put customised ROMs onto my phone. RecoverX, both PC and APK version, has been suggested several times accross XDA and other forums as the program to use to instal CWM. This is not the case as it only offers xRecovery, which although says it is installed succesfully, doesnt work. I also read that Rom Manager APK by clockworkmod would do it but it says that x10 is unsupported. But it does ask if it have installed a clockwork based mod manually.
Does anyone here at XDA know how I can get it installed?
I am currently running android 2.3.3 and was trying to get it upgraded to the MIUI ICS for X10 as seen in this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774623
Cheers, any help or advice would be appreciated.
Just install FeraKernel v18.4 or DoomKernel v6, both of which have CWM built in.
FeraKernel has a later date CWM version.
If you install an old version of Flashtool cira 0.8.6, it came with CWM Recovery and xRecovery which could be installed from Flashtool menus.
Before you flash FeraKernel or DoomKernel, have the ROM zip you wish to install with CWM on the X10 while it's running GB 2.3.3
This way when FeraKernel or DoomKernel are flashed to get access to CWM, you don't have to worry about WiFi and Graphics drivers as you already have your ROM on the phone and ready to go and just need to tap the volume up button to access CWM as the Kernel boots for the first time.
Enjoy.

Well I can't seem to find the old version of flashtool 0.8.6.0 nor doomkernel v6. The doom kernels keep referring me to broken links or hotfile which has been taken down. The ferakernel 18.4 seem to crash while being flash thus aborting the whole process. Was wandering if you have the older doomkernel or flashtool lying around or anyone who does who could do a fresh upload link please?
Thanks
Solved!
Finally got this sorted. After about 4 ours of trailing through the net. I found a 0.8.0.0 version of flashtool and an update to 0.8.6.0. If anyone is need of these files to get CWM recovery for X10 do let me know. Happy Chappy now. Thank you Dr Goodvibes.
You're welcome.
