That's easy, if your phone is bricked like too many people do it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS2LIuy6YfY
That's what I tell to many people do and they said it works, so stop spamming the sections speaking: "My cellphone is bricked, help me!". Hope it saves your life too
UPDATE: According to our friend, the updated version of PC companion doesn't work anymore, so please check the instructions on this video!

Hello.
I'm having problems with my XPERIA x10i phone. This morning I was changing the case with new one. The full case, not just the cover. And then, my software was stuck in a loop at the Sony Ericsson logo. I tried installing the software with PC Companion, Update Service, FlashTool and none of them seems to work! They all stuck at the same place!
What could be the problem???
Thanks in advance!

You probably didn't put it back together properly.

I thought of that and I've reassembled looking at this video youtube com /watch?v=JVBTCgAzkY4
I did everything like in the video. If I didn't put anything correctly, the phone wouldn't start... :/
Any specific ideas to look for?
Thanks a lot!
If you had the battery disconnected during your work changing the case (and you definitely should), then put your phone to charge in wall plug for at least 15 minutes (or even more) and then try to turn it on...

I've tried and after 5 min. the phone start itself and starts the loop.
I've installed older version of FlashTool and read this line:
Loader version : R4A024 / Bootloader status : UNROOTABLE
I'm trying again...

I used the latest version of Flashtool, and later I tried older version. No use...
I opened a thread explaining everything I did...

Does it mean you can't get flashtool flash firmware? Or after flashing you're facing the same problem ?

After flashing I'm facing the problem. Now, the phone just shows the lights on the screen, no SE logo...
The flashing finishes perfectly with no errors and the phone is connecting again in flash mode with the green LED in the upper part. But, when I try to turn on the phone, just the blank screen is lighted, no logo...
Is my phone dead?
I think so
Sorry I can't help you.
Edit. Have you tried another firmware/re download the file? Just in case. Good luck bro.

Yes I tried. Do you have any working firmware (tried)?
In the service center, the guy told me something about wiring the phone under the battery. That was the last hope for the phone...

What is your exact model? Because you stated you were running Gingerbread 2.3.3 on it... Was that the original firmware it came with? I think you need to be in this forum, for the 'big' X10, and not the X10 Mini (e10i).

Yes I know, sorry my bad. You are right, I'm not in the right place... But, none answers on x10 forums. I got Xperia X10i model that came with the original firmware which was officially updated to 2.3.3.
Sorry for replying here, but I opened up a thread there in which I explain everything detailed...

I brick my x10 when tried to root my phone using flash method but my usb broke while it flashing so it is aborted and my phone stucked at sony ericsson logo
can anyone help me to unbrick my phone?
-I need to adjust the usb port to make the device detected.
Sorry for my poor english
If your usb is broken then buy a new usb as it is required for charging also. After that, use SEUS for updating.
Thanks
Contact DooMLoRD he is good at it maybe he can help...

If the screen light is a little bit flashing, then it is the light sensor, that is doing his job.

Please help me. I have the same problem. I have sk17i mini pro. phone lights up by itself when it is locked, screen flashes for a couple of times and this happens randomly.
My phone is rooted.
bootloader is unlocked.
Running stock firmware 2.3.4 v .62
will changing the firmware solve the issue? :\
Is Sony deliberately neglecting Mini by not providing any fixes or updates??.
Mini heat problem is now globally for long and didn't hear any news about Sony correcting the bug..
Why is Sony being so pathetic on customer satisfaction?..
Can anyone here reply if updating to .62 will fix the issues affecting Mini?..
Does the new Mini stock coming out from Sony have this problem?..
I am going to buy this device and see what it will do!

Hi all,
I have an Xperia ray on GB 2.3.4 and have a major problem with the screen. Most of the times when booting up the phone, the screen is blank/black but the backlight seems to be working and I can still interact with the display i.e. slide unlocking the phone and can hear the sound as well.
From time to time, the phone works as normal but this issue is there as soon as I decide to shutdown/restart the phone.
Help will be appreciated.

Oh man. I got this issue too on my good ol' Ray. I think it happened because I dropped it. I also lost the blue led on the home button arc, now instead of white it turns on yellow :/
Anyway, has anyone gotten his replaced\fixed after getting this problem? I had the bootloader unlocked with the wire method (s1tool or whatever it was called), then I relocked it after I hard bricked it once sometime last year, I hope they don't notice it and replace mine under warranty.
Man this sucks.

try it many times and never worked as it is a hadware problem (heating) and software not the only way to fix it was flash 3.0.8 kernel nAa 02 kernel making this pledge is to make the screen twice and with that I have not always latch-on problems hotter than this the phone
