ok here's the deal... its my wifes phone and she updated last night. So i really dont know what version firmware was on it before, but the update that was applied was the new .283 update.
It was not rooted and not messed with booloader or anything, just stock 2.3.3.

Just go ahead and follow the steps
I'm sure it will work for you.
But the data will be lost.

Good luck with following the steps and let us know if you have any trouble with it, hope you can get the phone unbricked.

Actually I just unticked, the "wipe data" box in flash tools and the phone is now updated and fully working with all data intact... :-D

Take your battery for at least 5 seconds.
Put it back again.
Press back button and connect the cable with the back button pressed.
Then start fota unbrick.
Try it several times.
Sometimes and thats weird the computer as problems connecting to phone.
I warrant you that the thing works and you are with the right problem.
Your trim area is damaged.
Thanks! I've tried like 50 times, and nothing, the ennoing "sony ericsson" is booting (no sony ericsson logo as usualy, just the writing) I flashed 10 times in the past whith no problem. Now, even when I put it to charge ( wall charge) the phone is turning on showing that stupid "sony ericsson" writting, I cant shut it down from the on\off button. Before killling it, I've instales stock MT15i_4.0.A.2.368_GLOBAL ROM, then I upgraded to MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Global, then rooted with DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su, Installed CWM( wiped cache, updated SE tweaked v8.5 Rom) After the restart, the "se" writting started booting. I've pulled out the batery, and begined flashing it with flash tool(no green led).The flashing started and my little brother accidentaly pulled out the Usb cable; that's the whole story! I've tried like 100 times with wotan, flash tool and FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick, no result, even if pc companion tells me "phone conected" and gives me further instructions whith the phone being dead, and the flash tool showing me to connect de device... Thank you for all the help, hope there is a solution. sorry for the long post and my bad english...

Flash tooll results when trying to connect (pulling batery-10 secs, back butoon, usb cable)
Look, read carefully.
You can´t have that log, this log shows that your phone is connected (powered on).
Withou green line you re not ready to go.
Just follow as I´ve writted before.
Battery of for 5 secs. take the back button and plug the cable. After that you must run fota unbrick.
then just flash and your phone should be good.
If not PM and I give you another solution.
Thank you again! I tried, my phone was bricked before, but I've managed every time to get into the flash mode, and flashing it succesfully. This time is bad, i pulled the batery out for hours, coonect the batery-nothing happens, push the back button-nothing happens, While holding the back button-conect the usb port to pc-after 3-4 secs, that "sony ericsson" screen apears (no green logo, just the writting) no green led, somehow pc companion tells me i'm "connected" and shows me further steps, but on the phone it's just that "se" writting. No mather how bricked was my phone before, It allways got into the flash mode (1-4tries) I even reinstaled Windows, drivers, hope I want damage the usb port of the phone Have a great day!
Hello!
I hope there is someone who can help. I have purchased a second hand mini pro with custom firmware (some froyodroid). It worked for a couple of days and now it just doesnt start up anymore. When i turn it on it boots into the home screen and comes then up with dozens of error messages ie. phone was closed..., calender was closed,.... so i cant even go into the settings.
My idea was to install some other rom and hope the problem is solved but when i run flashtool i get this message

I assume it wants me to turn on USB debugging but unfortunately i cant even get into the settings. Any idea what to try to fix it?
TIA
Sorry guys, after reading some more threads i realized how to solve it. Thanks anyway
TO dosada or others who know: How to solve it?
THanks in advance!
i use flashtool before and the first time,i also dont know how to use it. but after more trials, i manage to understand on how to use flashtool (after reading thread by thread).
1. turn off the phone, unplug the cable.
2. open flashtool, selec flashmode, select kernel, then ok.
3. flashtool will give you a message about flashmode.
3. hold back button (<== arrow) and plug in the cable.
4. the flash process start.
Hello, I urgently need help with an old x10i (used in the UK) that I have come across. Issues:
Old OS: It has Android 2.1. I want to update to the latest, fully functional JB/GB rom.
Flaky buttons: The three physical buttons at the bottom stop working after about two minutes. This is a known issue and I have tried everything to fix it short of disassembling the device.
No Fastboot or Flash modes: No matter what I do, I cannot get into Fastboot/Flash modes. I have the latest versions of Flashtool, s1tool and GG drivers installed on my WS 2008 R2 PC, but no luck. Holding the Back/VolDn button when plugging in the USB cord just goes directly to the battery charging icon (with *yellow* LED) after showing the "Sony Ericsson" text (no logo) for 8-10 seconds. Is there any indication to the user that the phone is in fastboot/flash mode?
Missing camera button: :'(
I may not have provided enough information, but please ask! All assistance is appreciated.
Please help. I am totally stuck, gentlemen! I am making one minor correction; the LED color mentioned in #3 above is yellow, not green. Here's the Flashtool log:

Note that it connected in Flash mode a couple of times and then it immediately disconnected. I have not been able to successfully connect in Flash mode since.
Hmm... I use an old version of flashtool. Version 8.0.6 from memory it has an update patch that went with this release.
The reason is the latest version of flashtool has forgotten all about the X10i.. don't get me wrong, that latest version still works with the X10i for flashing things, it just doesn't have all the old extras like xRecovery/CWM recovery downloads and etc.
To get a Sony core GB v2.3.3 build you can download SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) and just do a complete phone upgrade/install.
Have you unlocked the bootloader on the X10i yet? It's fine to do this on an X10i as there is nothing to lose, unlike some of the 2013 models.
Then use flashtool to root the X10i (and with an old version of flashtool) download xRecovery or CWM recovery and then start your ROM/Kernel of choice installs.

Thank you for your reply! I have already tried upgrading to v2.3.3 using PC Companion. It downloads the update then asks me to a) turn off the phone, b) disconnect the cable, and c) connect the cable with the back button pressed. When I do that, nothing happens; the phone shows the 'Sony Ericsson' text for a few seconds then shows the charging icon (with the yellow LED).
Do you think I should try with SEUS instead of PC Companion?
I also strongly believe there's something physically wrong with my phone. Remember the "buttons stop working 2 minutes after boot" issue? I see that issue even when the phone is off, where pressing any button won't illuminate the screen and show the charging icon! Has anyone else seen this? Is it an easy fix?
Maybe the two issues are related. Thanks again!
EDIT: So I tried with SEUS, and no go. I am stuck on the screen where it asks me to connect the turned-off phone with the Back button pressed -- the phone doesn't want to enter Flash mode, methinks. :'(
If your BACK button doesn't work ( you said so), no worth of pressing him to get into flash mode. Don't press volume button either, because there no fastboot mode for X10. I don't know is there another method to get flash mode.

No, the back button works, but only for a short while (~2 minutes) after booting the phone. After that, none of the home row buttons work. E.g., on starting the phone when I open the app drawer and press the back button, it will take me to back to the home screen. If I keep doing that for a short while, the buttons will simply stop working and I will be stuck in the app drawer, until I switch off the phone. A quick Google search shows that I am not alone. I have tried most of the (simple) suggestions in those threads and they don't work for me.
Thanks for your reply, Dzufa.
Maybe your Back button don't work when your phone is off, and that would be main reason why your phone can't go into flash mode.

You're going to have to fix the physical phone first before you can install/upgrade firmware.
If you don't you're just going to have problem after problem.

I "accidently" wiped my entire phone (dalvik,system,cache,data,internal) in twrp recovery because i was stuck in a bootloop and installed envi-rom 0.2B and the phone was able to boot normally and get the phone working again.
After getting my phone to turn on and working again i wasn't able to use flashtool and it looks like this:

LED blinks red,green, then turns off and flashtool doesn't detect it all.
Afterwards i need to use the power button and volume up key to turn off the phone and reboot.
I also tried via sony pc companion and the phone update itself to update and get 17.1.2.A.0.314 but that didn't work either.
Occasionally flashtool gets stuck on installftkit:

So i can't update by flashing, pc companion, or via phone. It would also work if anyone knows how i can update without flashing.
-Sorry for long post, just wanted to provide some background info.
Im having a similar issue!
Except i cant even boot up my phone, it shows sony logo, then goes to the boot animation sound but the screen is black.
I need to get my phone into flashmode for pcompanion to repair it, but when i try to, the led flashed red, green and off, very quickly.

According to the pc companion it should stay green and also it doesn't notice the phone connected at all :/
Yeah pressed those buttons and tried the options i found on other threads (re-installing drivers, using different pc, etc.) still nothing. I don't have the original wire that came with the phone but i doubt that has an impact.
It's the same with me
Make sure usb debugging mode is on for a start.
Pick the firmware you want to flash and let it prepear.
When it comes up saying please connect your phone. Make sure your phone is off. While plugging the USB into the phone hold down the vol down button. It will then connect and proceed to flash the firmware

Yeah from there and from the flashtool set already and it didn't work either time.
Has anyone found a fix to this yet?
I still can't flash my phone or update the software.

That's not the issue, I'm already on rooted unlocked bootloader. My problem is I can't update through phone, pc, or flashtool.
If it means anything the noise canceling isn't working anymore either so I think it might be that those original system files are gone. (for the noise canceling, flashing, and maybe other stock functions I haven't noticed)
Hope that helps anyone get an idea of the situation.
Any fix about this? I also have the same issue
Hi guys, So the problem im having at the minute is im trying to flash it back to a a lower firmware but for some reason on flash tools im getting:
15/020/2015 11:20:36 - INFO - Device disconnected
15/020/2015 11:20:36 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging on

Ive actually installed EVERY single driver on the drivers list as I tried the Xperia Z2 drivers to begin with and they didnt work
Am I right in thinking that I can just choose the Z2 from the list that comes up or does flashtool have to actually recognize it?
Ive gone on to USB Connectivity and the only 2 options that I have are MTP and MSC, Ive enabled USB Debugging and allowed my Computer access, But it still wont work, Can anyone help me please?
Thanks.
