@OP
in short u are f****d.!
try rooting it with super one click or zroot(somethinng like that).
Yo.. let me explain something.
When i rooted and downgraded the kernel it used the old ADB drivers.
When i upgraded it required the new ADB drivers.
Maybe that is your issue.
flash the generic SE firmware with flashTool. It should work...
turn off phone - take out battery - press back key - insert usb - insert battery.
That should do the trick. Then Flashtool to stock
I probably have used this method 50 times the past 2 days trying to upgrade to GB. Always flashes ok but phone wont boot. Finally gave up and stayed with 2.1 and upgraded to MIUI. So it aint dead yet, just injured LOL
2 different computers won't recognize the phone, I can't flash with flashtool! It goes into flag mode but flashtooldoesnt recognize the phone. Somebody know how to manually install drivers?

Hi guys! Been a long follower of posts here in the X10 forums and the Acer A500 forums since I own both devices and it would be really great if you can help me in my problem with my X10:
( DEVICE: Sony Xperia X10 ; ANDROID VERSION: Stock/Official 2.3.3 )
Recently I have noticed a problem with my Xperia X10 since I updated it with Official 2.3.3 gingerbread update from sony, here are my observations:
* when connected to the PC, it only charges and does not sync or function as a mass storage in any way (I have tried turning off USB Debugging in the settings but nothing happened.
* I tried repairing it thru PCC or SEUE but still it cant be detected by the program (Even tried reinstalling PCC and SEUE for many times, also tried to sync it thru Flash Mode but it doesnt enter flash mode, the green LED just blinks but nothings even appearing on the screen even if I click on it for 10 minutes or so)
* I tried using Flashtool to install a stock or even a custom rom but like Ive said it wont enter flash mode
* One time I connected it, it tried to install the driver but it failed then suddenly the device disappeared (Even tried to look at Device Manager)
* Tried restarting the computer then connect the X10 but still its not detected
* Tried to hard reset it to see if there will be any changes but nothing happened
* Tried to install and reinstall the drivers included with Androxyde's flashtool and Azuzu's Flashtool but nothing happens, still it wont be detected
Now back to my problem, can I install an earlier stock rom or a custom rom in any other way other than using Flash mode just so that I can root it and install an ICS rom or FXP's Cyanogen 9 rom, or even install Beats by Dre & Bravia Engine tweaks for my X10? I've seen Doomlord's similar solution ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054818&nojs=1#goto_threadsearch ) sadly it's only for custom roms. Need your reply guys, thank you very much!

Hmm, Interesting problem. Are you sure you have checked Your device manager when you turned off your phone and pressed Back button and USB connected? Like this thing shows?
View attachment 1129524
If not, either these two ways:
1)Download These ADB driver here for X10i and look how they installed. See is it solved?"
2)Are you sure how to use flashmode?? Power off button, don't connect your USB to computer yet. Then press and hold Back button and connect the USB to your PC. The green light will retain and screen will be black all the time
3)If not, Try reinstall SONY PCC / Or try email SONY
AND!!!! BEFORE You do anything like installing custom rom or stock rom from XDA here, your X10 must BE ROOTED my friend??Or not, custom roms cannot be installed into your phones? and The link you pasted methods only worked after you rooted your X10+r installed recovery.
AND, back to your problem. Sorry but No. for 2.3.3official X10, rooting must be done via flashtool. And it's considered MI5 for installing ROMs without rooting!! Plus, ICS roms or CM9 only can be flashed after your phone's bootloaded is unlocked..and of course after rooting!!
Hope this helps.

Thank you very much on your reply whitefang! Your help is very much appreciated. Will try to test those things and will keep you posted ASAP.
Hi i have just flashed my Locked BL Xperia U from stock ICS to Miui Locked Bootloader version.
After flashing, i cant use pc companion to restore my files i backed up prior to flashing. PCC is not able to detect my phone and i am not able to access my phone usb storage as well, eventhough i have activated the option on the newly flashed MIUI firmware.
Is this a problem on the part of the ROM or is it in general that PCC is not able to detect phones running on custom ROMs?
Many thanks is appreciated for advice/help!
Are you on MSC or MTP mode?

Managed to get the storage workin.
But Pc companion stil cant detect my phone, keeps askin mi to update to the latest pcc version (eventhough it is the latest.)
Reason, y i wanted pcc to work is i have backup my data at pcc (where the extension of the backup is .dbk) Now i wanted to restore those important contacts and sms messages, but not able to do so.
I also searched on ways to try to extract my .dbk files and convert them to format where i can use 3rd party apps to restore them without pcc, but to no avail..... :crying::crying:
Hi..
As it says, I was trying to unlock bootloader and turned out that Flashtool doesn't recognize my phone as rooted device at all, so why is that? I made sure that my phone is updated to the latest stock ROM, baseband..everything. And root works since I can access system files from root explorer (SU app is installed also)..I'm on Win8 and my phone was rooted using Flashtool 0.8.5 a long time ago..Any ideas?
I forgot to mention that "root" button on Flashtool is also grayed out.
Anyone?
have you tried latest flashtool ? windows 8 is new system with different structure like w7 or vista. however I have installed latest flashtool with PC Compaion on laptop with windows 8 and runs good. // the only think that I used there is flashing diferent kernels so I dont know if "root" button works or not.//
Yes I'm using the latest version with PC companion installed..
at my first try to flash I had several problems. One seemed to be caused by some kind of "wrong" root, means i could use all kinds of root apps correctly, but couldnt flash kernels etc... however, i used superoneclick and nothing changed.
As it didnt work, i repaired software via pccompanion and rooted with newest fllashtool (0.9) and all worked. I remember it because it nearly got me crying because i followed every step exactly.

Hi XDA Community,
I want to flash this Kit Kat ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603396
At the moment I'm running the Enigma ROM v4.1. on Stock Sony Kernel (at least I think thats the kernel I flashed most recently). In the Settings it shows following Kernel Version:
3.0.8+
[email protected]) )
#1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 13 11:51:07 2013
Now my problem is that I can't get into recovery to flash the right kernel and the ROM afterwards. Fast- and Flashmode aren't working too (Loosing connection after a few Seconds, I can't even reinstall drivers. Windows says that there aren't any drivers into the fastboot driver package I downloaded today. I downloaded several ones, even a full fastboot driver package for almost all devices).
I have all necessary Data on my phone as well as on my PC, I only need to get them together... I tried to install CWM Recovery via Recover X and the CWM Manager App. But there is no Recovery on my phone (tried to reboot by Terminal Emulator Command into Recovery, only got a Error that there isn't a Recovery on the phone)
I can acces my phones storage by Using MyPhoneExplorer and I can acces these data with ES Data Explorer on my Phone. I'd basicly need an .apk file wich flashes the Kernel whilst running the phone. I think that this can't be possible but maybe someone has a workaround (maybe installing the Kernel onto another partition to not affect the running system or something like that).
The Reason for me to fllash another ROM is that theres basicly nothing working on my phone at the Moment. I can't do any downloads on it (Even Apps from Google Play, it only displays a dashed line where usually the progress of the Download appears). Allmost all preinstalled Apps are not working proper too (SMS crashes imedeately after start, having the same Issue with Calls, the alarm Clock crashes when it should ring (I only get a Notification, no Sound/Vibration. When I try to disable it, it crashes. It's going on like that for more Apps...).
The Important Apps such as SuperUser, Settings and Terminal Emulator are working. I have Root rights and my BL is unlocked (was able to look it up by typing *#*#7378423#*#*). Enabling USB Debugging is possible to.
Do anybody of you have any Idea to flash the new Kernel (I'd use the CM11 Kernel with working Recovery as mentioned in the Thread I linked up there)?
Kind Regards and thanks in advance

You not realy a hacker are ya?
To begin with, untill you had your flash/fastboot mode working don't attampt install anything, because when things get sour, and they will, you will be left with a brick.
You can install CWM recovery from here.
Now to get to the root of your problem, what was changed since the last time you have used flash/fastboot mode?
Is it the same computer/OS you have been using before or maybe you have made a foolish thing like upgrading to windows 8 or above?
I only changed ROM and Kernel. I did no Hard- and Software changes on my PC. Used and Using Windows 7 64Bit Home Premium Service Pack 1. Hopefully it won't ever be necessary to do that foolish thing with "upgrading" to win8 :fingers-crossed:
I don't know last kernel with working Fastboot anymore. The only thing I know that I had been running Paranoid Android (Android 4.1.2, don't know the Version Number).
I tried to install the Drivers on 2 other PCs, running Win8.1 64Bit and Win7 32Bit, as well, nothing worked. Maybe I need to reinstall Windows all the Way from the beginning to clear all drivers and that stuff. As this would take really long I'd prefer a "normal" solution for sure.
The Link you posted is for locked BL. Will it work with Unlocked BL too?
Thanks for your answer, I hope I could give you some further information wich gives you the opinion to give me a solution.
EDIT:
My PC just reminded me that theres another Info that may could help:
Sony PC Companion get's that there is a Sony phone plugged in. It can't get further information so it notifiys me that My (zero) is connected. If I want to sync anything It's not possible because it can't install any drivers or any other necessary software.

So what happened between the time it worked (you had to have fastboot to unlock bootloader) and now?

Maybe try to reinstal PC Companion though I am not sure it installs fastboot drivers.
Did you install the drivers from flashtool drivers folder(Xperia P, flash mode, and fasboot drivers)
I tried to reinstall Fastboot drivers because I had troubles with normal fastboot flashing (sending boot failed after displaying the speed of transmission). Sorry I totally forgot to mention this... My Problem with reinstalling drivers is that I can open the window "properties" of S1 Fastboot, but I can't install drivers (I'm navigating to my,downloaded FB drivers but Windows only says that there are no drivers in the folder. They are the right ones and I didn't forget to unzip them etc.).
Don't know how I can install them alternatively so I tried to find a App wich installs the Recovery so I could flash Kernel and Rom there.
Tried to flash Recovery with your linked .batch, did not worked to. It only displays loads of Error messages. Can't upload the log at the moment. If needed I'll do round about 5PM GMT+1.
I don't think that PC companion contains FB drivers but I'll reinstall it.
I'm not sure if I installed the drivers of Flashtool and as I'm not on my PC atm I can't look it up. Will do that too when I'm back at home.
Thanks for all that tips, I think the Flashtool drivers will be the key...
To install CWM you need to have USB debugging enabled in developer options.
I know that I need to enable it. It was enabled when I tried to install the recovery. I can push data on my phone with my phone explorer, it needs usb debugging activated and it worked so it wasn't the reason for failing of recovery install.
I'll try to install the drivers of flashtool in a few minutes, hopefully it works then.
It failed. Still no FB- or Flashmode for more than a few seconds. I saw that there is a TWRP App. It's not compatible with SXP, but with Z, Z1, T and S Xperia Phones. As they have other hardware as the P I'll probably brick my device with trying to flash one of them. Is there another way to install any Recovery without using FB? ADB Tools could work too for that right? Or could I flash a Kernel with working Recovery by a Terminal Emulator command?
Installing Recovery with the CWM Recoverymanager .apk doesn't work because the SXP is not officially supported by CWM.
instal recoverx from playstore
