Hi friends,
I think I have bricked my X10i B'cuz the phone is struck at the Sony Ericsson logo.
What I tried to do?
I was in tripndoid MIUI, so I wanted to upgrade the rom to black edition, so I tried to unlock the boot-loader, I had successfully downgraded the firmware and unlocked the boot-loader and also updated to custom kernel (doomloard)
After that I got in CWM recovery mode and installed the .zip file after cleaning the system cache and dalviks cache, Now the phone refuses to start nor get into flash mode.
I tried removing the battery and reinstalling the battery, but as soon as I put the battery back on the phone lights up at the Sony logo.
Even If it try to charge the phone from the electrical socket, the led of the phone does not turn on, it still gets into the Sony logo and stops there.
The phone gets recognized in the flash tool, its tells the phone is in ADB mode. I cannot put the phone on flash mode anymore.
I tried looking in various threads, but could not get a concrete answer, please help. I have limited access to internet, So i do not have PC companion to try and repair my phone. Is there any way that I can get back my phone alive.
Edit: I just plugged it in, I can get into flash mode.. Anyone please help me how can I flash back to any rom..
Did you flash the upgrade firmware after downgrading and unlocking firmware? Sometimes the Kernel doesn't support certain ROMs as well and it can't boot into the system.
The easy method of flashing the stock SE firmware is by using the X10 Flashtool. Simply download and install it (you might have to turn off anti-virus software as it's listed as a virus of some kind) and install the stock SE 2.3.3 firmware and press flash. Instructions will pop up and your phone will be as good as new. It does mean that you lose everything like ck, recovery, unlocked bootloader, etc.
You can find the Flashtool and the stock firmwares here:

EDIT: To do flashing, you will have to turn the phone off. The X10 may turn on when you reinsert the battery too soon, like you have described. Generally, you should take the battery out for about 5 seconds before reinserting it so the phone actually turns off and doesn't turn back on.
Good luck and don't forget to hit thanks if this helped in some way
@ Panzerfaust101 - I have already hit thanks
I figured it out myself.. here is how I made it through..
Problem - was in the Kernel, just out of some instinct I downloaded Doom's kernel v.006 and some how got the phone into flash mode and flashed the kernel.
After that I was able to navigate into recovery and install the new ROM, but my problem did not stop. Now the phone got struck in the new RoM's startup screen.
So again I downloaded the right version of Doom's kernel for the RoM and flashed it again. So I got the problem solved, but I realized the phone radio was not working, So I again downgraded the firmware and ran the bootunlocker and then updated the phone back to the right kernel.
Now I am able to enjoy the new ROM.
Yeah, it should be your ck. I flashed a ck before (can't remember which one), but for one reason or another, I couldn't get cwm-based recovery working, so I tried another one which couldn't boot anything up properly, so I'm back on stock 2.3.3 (was on the MIUI-based BlackHD Edition. Brilliant ROM btw) waiting for beta+ CM9 ROM for X10 to be released
Btw, for future reference, can you link me the exact Doom ck that you used? I'm probably going to install a custom ROM on mine again and I need to know one that will be guaranteed to work without a problem. Thanks
Cool, you will need Doom's kernal - X10_FXP_DooMKernel-v05a-BootManager-v1.3
Also hope you have the bootlocker unlocked, if not you need to use X10_aZuZu_Kernel_Downgrade_Generic firmware and unlock the boot loader after that you can directly upgrade the firmware to Doom's kernel and install the RoM.
Thanks to DooM and aZuZu for the files.

i've your same problem...how i can plug-in in flash mode?
Try this trick!!!
Remove the battery.
Connect your phone to system with the battery still out.
Now hold the back button and put the battery on, green led will glow.
Now you are on flash mode and this would stay for not more than 5-10 secs
You should have quick fingers, so that you should select the firmware or any update within those ten sec's. Keep trying this will work... BTW its was the only way I could revive my phone.
but pc don't recognize my x10...

Are you using a flashtool or Pc Companion? Also please reinstall the adb drivers to your PC and check again.

Is that the method you use to flashing? I've seen it quite a lot on these forums, but I haven't personally used it before and I've been curious as to what they did. Generally, don't you prepare to flash by pressing the flash button on Flashtool and following the instructions that pop up? i.e. disconnect and turn off phone, hold back button, reconnect phone. I've always used this method for flashing. Doesn't it work properly for some devices?
Also, if the battery's out and the flashing takes 10+ seconds, what happens? does it stay on once it's detected a device flashing the firmware?

The ten seconds isnt a standard just a rough idea. Yeah the flashtool way is proper way to enter flashmode it just that the USB socket on this model isn't the best, many people had problems and basically just found their own way around it.

Pleeease, I need help.
My x10 enters in flash mode with the green led, but it still only 10 seconds on, after that change to SE logo and that's it...I think that it's because it ran out of battery...any solution for this!?!?
After that I can leave it connected by USB but still being with the SE logo and it doesn't seem that the battery is charging.
Even if I take off the battery, put in again and simply connect it by USB the SE logo shows again...I don't know what else to do...
This is Flash tool log:

Kind of a late reply, apologies for that. Yes I followed the same method as listed. Some times your method works but not always!!!
If the battery is below 5% i believe the system will not get you into the flash mode. Since flashing hardly takes few seconds, I suppose the available battery will hold on.
BTW my trick starts only after I get into the flash tool

I don't think its cuz of a battery issue, It cuz of kernel issue. Kindly give a backdrop of what you are trying to do? Might be helpful to correlate the actions.

Yes mate I tried the same tool that you have posted. Yeas I did upgrade the firmware to custom kernel and then went ahead with the installation.
Try this link : http://www.mediafire.com/?3ol6gpykaa5acwo
Thank 7hr08ik for this link. Please use the FXp kernal, not DooM.
Major update is that DooM kernel version that I had installed was completely a phone crasher, So I had to update the kernal and the RoM for a newer version.
Right now I am using FXP kernal with v3 of the blackedition HD v1.3 RoM, So far So good

Hey,
I'm new to this forum, but i know something about changing roms etc. But today i tried to change rom on my Xperia P.
I unlocked BL then flashed custom kernel, its Nemesis Kernel v6.3. Then i wanted to flash custom rom - Honami Moonwalker. Then i did everything with instruction, and theres problem. I did format /system and turned off CWM by mistake. now when im trying to turn on the phone i just get the NXP text, and a one vibration of the phone.
What to do with this? How i can flash stock kernel or system?
More info: Green light shows only for a moment when i try to get flash mode, same thing happens with blue light when i enter fastboot mode. The problem is my computer cant get now Fastboot,Flash or ADB drivers. and i cant flash stock system.
Please help me..
Greetings

There are few options.
You can flash 6.2.A.1.100 ROM or even try flashing the system only from the ROM with flashtool.
Or you can repair with PC Companion
The problem is i can't flash, because phone cant enter flash or fastboot mode. I can't use PC Companion - unlocked BL
Ok, problem solved, i needed to remove battery from my XP to let it get total reset ( power + vol up didnt work). Please close thread.

Hi guys, I believe my phone is bricked/stuck in bootloop and I need your help. I was trying to flash this ROM and just before I started to install, after I did a full wipe, the phone hanged, I did a soft-reset and my Sola got stuck in bootloop. I tried flashing .54 FTF stock ICS ROM, but Flashtool keeps giving me an error and aborts the flash. (also, after less than a minute, the phone will go out of flash mode and get stuck on Sony logo)
Is there another way I can flash back a stock ROM and unbrick my phone? Thanks in advance for the help, I hope you can help me out, I'm a total noob, it's the first time I tried to flash a custom ROM
EDIT: BTW, I hard reset the phone several times in attempt to turn it off and boot in flash mode, since the phone will not shut down.
2nd EDIT: I can't get into recovery either.
3rd EDIT: SOLVED using the x86 version of flashtool instead of the x64.
I followed this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xa/how-to/f31xx-how-to-root-xperia-xa-noob-t3430170
With some specific files (boot and recovery images) from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xa-ultra/how-to/how-to-root-xperia-xa-ultra-dual-t3439173
The rough steps that I took:
Put the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip in the microsd
Unlocked the bootloader
"fastboot flash boot boot.img" and "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Booted into TWRP
Since the internal data was shown as (0) , I Wiped the device.
Installed SuperSU-v2.76 from the microsd
Rebooted the device
It did an automatic reboot after going through the logos (I guess this part is expected after installing SuperSU)
After that, it gets stuck on the Xperia logo (the video logo keeps playing)
Now, after I turn on the device:
It goes through the Sony logo
It goes through the Android logo
It gets stuck on the Xperia logo (while playing the logo)
It doesn't get passed the Xperia logo.
Things I can still do:
I can boot into TWRP recovery (yay?)
I can use adb sideload with TWRP
I can't yet get back into fastbood mode, but I guess I can if I keep at it. I could go to fastbood mode before, but for some reason I can't anymore. I think it has to do with drivers. By default it recognizes the device as "SEMC flash drive" and will not recognize it as fastboot. After about a minute or so, it will disconnect the "SEMC flash drive" and boots the phone.
Give it to me straight, is my phone actually bricked?
If not, please let me know what I can do to fix it. It is very much appreciated to hear from anyone about this. Thank you all in advance.
If you need any additional info (logs, phone details, etc. etc.) feel free to ask me and I will happily comply.
If you can't get through the bootanimation, then yes that's kind of a soft brick. A solution would be to flash an official firmware from xperifirm (preferably .100 or .111 in order to to install root successfully) and then get everything done with simple baby steps. After flashing, you can wipe your data (if you wanna), reboot and then install root (I do not recommend flashing supersu and wiping at the same time when using an official firmware).
Note: Because we are stuck with only official fws, boot and recovery files can only work on specific fws

Hey
Thanks for your reply on my cry for help.
So basically get the firmware from Xpeifirm, make sure boot is working fine (basically back to square one ... sorta), then root by installing the SuperSU again. right?
I had already looked at Xperifirm before this. but I couldn't figure out how to properly use it. and now I'm a bit stuck.
I followed these:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_Y-BOWlQdw
But when I follow the steps, I get stuck here (when creating the bundle using the bundler in flash tools) :
http://imgur.com/a/wl3Cc
Any ideas on how to proceed?
Also another question. Can I get away with using adb sideloader instead of flashtool? some driver problems that are bugging me ...
Appreciate your response and thank you so much!
sony- android- xperia- off
good day! i hope im on the correct thread. i am having this issue on my xperia xa ultra dual.
everytime i turn the device on, it displays the sony logo, then the android logo, the xperia logo, then it turns off. i cant seem to get past through this regardless if i'll press the volume- and power or the volume+ and power. im almost certain that this can be fixed by doing something on the flashtool. i guess i just dont know how to do it. a step-by-step tutorial is greatly appreciated.

anyone can help me? I've tried to root my cherry mobile flare s play, I've flash twrp on it but it always boot in recovery it doesn't boot in system partition so I tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache, still doesn't boot so I tried flashing another recovery/rom and it just get worst it's now stuck in boot loop I've already tried the abd reboot-bootloader and always fall in error: device not found., I hope someone notice my case. thanks
Hello, this happens when the system is actually corrupted
you may reflash stock then twrp then root again
or just get a custom recovery for your device
you must go in bootloader for stock rom or twrp for custom rom, and that's fine your phone just needs a rom and its good to go
good luck

but how can I boot it on bootloader? key combinations like vol+ and power or any combo doesn't work, only if someone can teach me how to boot it on bootloader or fastboot then there would be no problem for me, I don't know what to do now
Hello again, take out the bettery then put it back and use the bootloader combo
if it didnt work take out the bettery and flash through sp flash tool
nothing to worry about, i didnt notice that your phone can be flashed through sp flash, since it just requires the phone to be off
not really such a scary situation

in my case I can't flash even a recovery image using sp flash tool. any help? sorry if I look like an ignorant any way thanks for your help guys, I really appreciate
no no problem, however what's the problem ?
I'm trying to flash a custom recovery on it but it doesn't work, I'm trying to flash twrp, the one I've flash before, because I don't have the stock rom of my device so I'm doing the process partially. I'm aiming to flash twrp and then restore my saved back up.
Hello,
i think your device stock frimware is there on google, however when you try to flash what error does it give or what happens ?
It doesn't show any error message and not showing any progress at all. my device just blink showing that the battery is charging though the battery is not present.
if it didnt detect it try pressing the volume up or volume down to make sure while connected ( and download button is pressed
just blink until it reaches time out.
I'm sure that my cable is working, it works on other device. I already install all the drivers I need.
is there a way to stop my device from simultaneous booting? it appears to be detected on device manager but just for a few sec, then reboot and appear again.
ensure the ROM is loaded properly in the flash tool.
Switch off the phone and remove battery.
press the start button in the flash tool to initiate the ROM flashing process. The process will be in hold, waiting for the phone to accept the new firmware.
Now connect the phone to computer.
Try these. Press and hold VOLUME DOWN OR VOLUME UP OR POWER+VOLUME UP OR POWER+VOLUME DOWN. One of these should work and the flashing process should start.
can I obtain the stock rom from the same device? I have the same model and it works properly. I can't download the stock rom from mediafire it always fail due to poor internet connection so I'm looking for another way.
I tried updating my driver then my device was recognized but when I flash the recovery image it displays 100% but in red color.
