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...

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...

Hello everyone, i own a MT11i Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V.
Yesterday i received a notification to update from 4.0.A.0.42 to 4.0.A.0.46. I downloaded the update and i started the 4-step installation process. The 3 first steps proceeded fine but at the 4th step, the update stopped and the phone restarted.
I should mention that i had rooted my phone with UnlockRoot utility. After the unsuccessful update, i removed root with UnlockRoot again but the exact same thing happened.
If you need any more info please let me know. Thanks in advance!
Wrong Section,
did you try to install it using Sony Pc Companion ?
if so try Update using SEUS utility ..
http://dl-www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1309763183/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.7.13.exe
Oh, I am sorry i guess this should go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1277
Ill keep that in mind next time. Anyway, this actually worked my friend thank you so much! Can you think of an explanation for the issue? In any case your help is much appreciated.
you're welcome
I don't know, what's wrong with PC Companion, so many peoples are complaining the same issue about update, and its already forward to Sony complain centre, maybe they'll look at it in the next release,

Remember: never ever ever ever flash the file x10blrelock.ftf included with Flashtool (it's NOT for the mini). IT CAN HARDBRICK YOUR PHONE. DELETE THAT FTF FILE TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL FLASH!

I think before you reccomend that method we have to know what model is he using and where did he get it from? as sometime different country has different LTE frequencies, also without knowing which model is he using (I mean D6503 and D6502) it might cause brick his device?

Thx for provide me infos. I think you can simply flash ftf using flashtool. and newest firmware is .438. Just note that sometime LTE frequencies may not match to your carrier specify model and can't connect to your LTE network. I hope you know how to use flashtool if not don't worry there is many theread about flashtool on Z2 forum. And next time you have to backup all your data and rom before you try to root it. Good luck.

Ok so I have an SGP771 that is on build 28.0.A8.260 and running the AndroPlus V12 kernel and I am attempting to update via Sony companion software. The software has downloaded the update and attempts to start the update, it shuts the tablet down then on the software screen I get:
Startup error
An error occurred while preparing to update your device. Your device is unchanged.
Please try again later. If the problem persists, contact Sony support.
Error code: UEGetPhoneInfoFailure
CompanionUE 3417, UE_2003
Ok so is this because I have the AndroPlus kernel? What am I missing, I haven't seen this problem articulated by anyone else so I am guessing I am missing something simple but can't for the life of me understand what.
I am new to Sony devices and certainly long for the simplicity of HTC updates... Why does Sony make things so difficult when it doesn't have to be...

Thank you for the information. I will probably end up just selling the damn tablet as flashtool apparently can't be downloaded without torrent software which is ridiculous. OMG I never realized the pain Sony users had to go through for something that should be simple.

I agree that smasung or HTC tablet is better as it has custom roms. But for me, having Sony tablet is also a great deal especially after being a user of ios, and having endless awaiting of jailbreak.
Pccompanion suppose you to have untouched system files, in order to save all your data on internal storage after an update , and if you modified it with xposed, luckypatcher and other stuff. Of course something goes wrong if pccompanion tries to update it with saving data.
For me, using flashtool is no problem at all. Important information is saved on sdcard, apps are recovered by google account.

Thanks. My only point with HTC was that you only need to know your way around ADB and Fastboot really and you can load just about anything when the bootloader is unlocked.
I have Flashtool working but stuck at the part where I am trying to flash the update to the device as it says the device isn't in debug mode but I have usb debugging selected and I've reloaded drivers so I am not certain were to go from here with it.
Ok so finally got MM loaded and have loaded AndroPlus V20 loaded. Can't for the life of me find a link for downloading the TWRP 3.0 image, TWRP doesn't list the Xperia Z4 Tablet in their devices list at all and I am totally baffled as to where I even found the 2.8.7 image I had.
I find no posts with a download link anywhere in the Z4 forums, what am I missing? I am not normally this helpless in finding stuff on XDA but it really seems that anything for this device is a struggle...
