Hi,
I have an Xperia X10 with Cyagenmod 6 (gingerbread 2.3.3) but it's broken. It won't boot any more. Some days ago it just went out, and it won't start up again. The phone behaves as if it freezes the moment android should load. Like if your computer would freeze in bios, unable to load your operating system.
I'm also not able to repair it with SEUS because although it recognizes the phone, it can't reset because the phone freezes just before the stage in witch it can reset.
I am kind of a noob with these things and therefore hope one of you guys could help me out. I'm not really looking foreward te buying a new phone already
Thanks!

umm.. Do u move your mobile when the flashing process is going on? The xperia USB slot is pretty sensitive. Moving the phone can cause it to lose connection and abort the flashing process
28/048/2011 21:48:10 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
i always receive this error if i move my phone.
Notice if you hear the USB device unplug sound from your PC before this error occurs.

it doesnt seem to be a connection-problem (no usb unplug sounds).
it seems that the phone is in a state, where bootup is not possible
But the phone is not required to boot during flashing. Did you try changing the USB slot on your PC? The one you're connecting your phone to? Try another slot. Sometimes that works too.

same result. can't flash
Me too. Can't flash with Flashtool (latest version), even without moving my phone. It starts flashing, but the progress bar shows of no progress. After a while it just says Error - Abort Flashing. I tried all of my USB port, but nothing changes.
after doing and trying my battery got completely drained (red led blinking) so i left it on the wallcharger for ~1day..
then at sometime it managed to boot up itself.. i left it for charging till 100%
after that i did a few "wipe battery stats" in xrecovery and now it seems to work stable again..
is it possible that messed up battery stats could cause the problem?
Wow, that would be nice.
A question! Was the little led on while charging? Because when I put my phone in the loader, it turns green (as if the battery is completely empty) and after a while it just goes off (when it would normally turn red). Do you have that to?
Putting my phone in the loader now, and waiting till tomorrow! Hope this helps!
yea, i've noticed this with my phone too..
strange led behavior..try to plug the charger first (green led turns on, cant say whether its charging or doing anything else) and then put in the battery and wait
maybe you're lucky and the phone will boot
and report pls
I didn't work. I've put my phone in the loader for over 24 hours, but nothing happened.
But my phone wasn't completely drained. Perhaps that is a condition to make this work. The only question is, how do I drain my battery when I can't turn on my phone?
i have used an 5watt light bulb ^^
connected on + and - and then waited till light goes out
Wel, I connected a little lamp and waited until it went out. Then when I put my battery in my phone and pressed the ON button nothing happend, not even the green light flashing shortly.
When I put my phone in the loader the LED started flashing red. And that whent on for a while until it stoped, and the LED did nothing. Then I waited over 24 hours, but nothing has happend.
When I put my phone in the loader now, it's just like before, the green light burns a little while, then nothing..
it happened to me again.. freeze and then no boot.
but i think i know whats wrong. for my phone i can say, that the battery is ok and the rom/os aswell.
its hardware problem. something is screwed up inside the phone.
when i press the phone at randomly places and hold it + then pushing on-button it boots up
i will open it tomorrow
Hey guys i've a problem with my x10
So one night i was playing with it than the other day the phone would start
so i thought yeah right might be the battery or something. i took it to my friends x10 it was with 87% charged so i exclude this
Than i tried to flash with flashtool a new kernel and i get stuck at 9% or 15% depending on the kernel i use.
With SEUS it starts to repair but it says. No new updates avaiable after a few moments.
Some information regarding my phone
Unlocked Bootloader
FXP KERNEL
MM TEAM MIUI V4
The phone vibrate but doesn't start or load the kernel.
What do i do?!
Srry for my bad english
Thx in advance
Usrle flashtool to reflash kernel or firmware.
already did but i get stuck at 9% or 15% flashing the kernel
I'm downloading a full generic rom x10a
having similar problem
Hi, I had similar problem as well
X10i running FXP CM7 suddenly just wont boot n charge after I turn off the phone
it wont boot after flashing anything (firm or kernel) except the official firm
now that I end up with a cap R bootloader but flashtool claim that bootloader is rooted
do I still keep the bootloader unlock?
i guess you have a locked bootloader since the original firmware is loading just fine even tho rooting has nothing to do with the bootloader it self. i'm only guessing.
I'm stuck at. Flashing Loader
I bricked my phone last week and it got stuck in a boot loop.
I downloaded the x10a generic Stock ROM and flashed it via Flashtool and it worked like a charm.
Hope this helps.

But that way you weren't at a brick point.
You get brick when u get those 3 blink red LED and the phone doesn't do anything
By the fact that your phone were able to load the kernel. i guess
same problem repeat
Hi, just confirm that the bootloader remain unlock as long as the flashtool claim its ROOTED
had you try other than official 2.3.3 ftf?
because I just got the same unable to boot problem repeated again
this time cant get boot on even stock 2.3.3 firm
but I was able to boot up and charge on 2.1, then get root, recovery and kernel (w/o unlock bootloader again) and go straight to custom ROM with no problem

Anyone?
guys?
you said your phone is "bricked"
I'm not sure if you know what that means.
If you say you've bricked your phone then no one can help you.
A brick is a brick. It doesn't matter if it weighs a few kgs or a few hundred grams. A brick can't receive phone calls.
And your phone isn't even a normal brick... You wrote that it's "really bricked"
Are you building a house anytime soon?

The red led blinking rapidly three times means the battery is "out of juice".
I've said it earlier: Several X10 devices have reached an age, where battery failures are fairly common due to charge cycles and/or age. Specially if one got it just after the launch.
Anyhow, what you can do, is let the device charge "blindly" for a while, and a while I mean for half an hour to a few hours. Then it should, out of the blue, jump into "active" charging (With the battery screen showing offline charging)
If this doesn't happen you might have to charge the battery externally.
...or even replace the battery.
-"Why?", one might ask.
Reason is that the flash mode only works with a charged battery.
If it empty, it won't engage the flash mode at all. Stupid design, yes, but that is how it is.
Worst thing is, that the battery does deplete/discharge while in flashing mode. That is why it's so important it's fully charged and fully working, before one engages in flashing activities.

Well, if the battery issue was fixed, and you're sure the battery is fully charged, then try this: (Quoting from my other post)
I've charged/replaced the battery, and are having trouble with starting up. Earlier flash failed. Now what?
Don't worry. It's pretty darn hard to truly brick this device. Even if the screen remains black, there's still hope.
Once that the battery issue has been dealt with, you can move on:
Download the latest Flashtool and the proper global firmware (FTF-file) for your device from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ight=flashtool
1: Extract/Install the Flashtool to a folder of your liking.
2: Copy the ftf-file to the "firmware" folder in the Flashtool folder you just created above.
3: Start Flashtool. Click the Bolt icon (flash). A Window appear. There, choose "flashmode". Cllick OK.
4: A new window appears. In the list on the left, choose the Generic firmware you downloaded and copied into the "firmware" folder. Should have a similar name as the file itself. (Or manually open the ftf-file from the "..." icon on the top right.)
5: Hit "OK. Follow the instructions you get on the screen:
1 - Unplug the device.
2 - Power off the device. (Unplug and replug the battery to be sure it really off, and not stuck in black screen)
3 - Press the "back" putton, and hold it down while performing the next task.
4 - Plug the device into the computers USB.

I restarted phone using volume up + power button as per sony customer care guidance.
But after restarting only sony xperia logo comes and goes.
I repaired phone using sony pc companion. But no use.

Please help me as service center is very far from my town.

Your phone seems to be stuck in a bootloop.
Press the Power button+Volume up button and hold, till you get a screen which is the recovery screen!
Now, you should be able to see options like Wipe Cache, and Factory reset.
In order to get out of this bootloop situation, first tap on Clear Cache.
Then tap on Factory reset.
THIS METHOD WILL DELETE ALL USER DATA.
But you can't really backup anything since you don't have access to the phone.
Try this out, and keep me posted.

Download flashtool, flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489955
Set it up correctly and instal;l the drivers.
Download the ftf file for YOUR DEVICE, use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142 ,or the last tab at the top of the flashtool.
Once you have found it, click it and download it by clicking it on the far right, make sure unpack automatically is checked.
Let it download and then flash tool will assemble it as the ftf file for you, and it will be in the correct folder. Cick the lightning button and select flash mode, select the ftf file that should apear in the list.
Folow the on screen instructions, it will take a while to flash, once finished it will say "unlug and reboot phone£
Do that and your done.
Cant fail with the flash tool
Let me know how you get on. Goodluck.
is your display ok (no small hairline cracks UNDER glass)?
I did all from your instructions and even try repair option in PC Companion but, had no errors but my e2303 remains stuck on the Sony logo (looping). I bought the phone online second hand and it arrived like that. I did bootloader unlock procedure in flashtool successfully and when i run it again it offers relock now so i assume it was good. However, if i try sony official bootloader unlock instructions via adb, i get error. I guess it's debug over usb and unknown sources related but since i can't boot to system there is no way to check that.
I'll mention i did try several ftf versions and all flashing went without errors (as with pc companion repair) but no result. Did i got scammed totally (i know i am as the phone should be working) and bought a phone that even can't get repaired?
Help guys
Do you have deleted or disabled my Xperia app before unlock? Maybe beacause this. I read when unlock and active my Xperia, phone is like paperweight
I got the phone like this, stuck on Sony/Xperia logo so i don't know what happened and what is the cause
Hi,
Apparently this is a more frequent issue than I'd have thought.... A relative of mine brought me his M4 Aqua e2303 with the same symptoms: it tries to boot, shows the Sony Logo (Xperia on the bottom of the screen) and it just loops. Screen goes off-then-on and the same thing. I've tried EVERYTHING. Bootloader was locked, so as a desperate measure I even unlocked it via Flashtool. First I tried Sony PC Companion App and automatic repair. It went smoothly but the phone was still stuck, then I flashed the last ROM via Flashtool. Again, everything went OK, but the phone was still stuck. I flashed a different ROM, the European Press version, since it's a little bit older, and suddenly something changed. The boot sequenced advanced from the Sony Screen to the waves screen, even with the music, but it just freezes and reboots itself 3 or 4 seconds after the blue-ish waves screen appears and the melody starts playing. Fastboot works, and I even pushed a custom recovery image. It boots, works, touchscreen and everything, and I can wipe everything (which I even did) but to no positive result. I've read about theft protection bricking some M4 Aqua phones, but this one had a locked bootloader, so it's out of the question (I think)
I'm absolutely dumbfounded... the only thing that comes to mind at this point is a hardware failure. My relative got the screen replaced, but everything was working fine after that, so I guess some cable/ribbon/whatever could get loose over time? Any idea?
I've learned a lot reading this thread and XDA Dev generally. Thanks, guys, great community.
hi,
i got to this problem too - M4 E2303:
1) unlocked bootloader
2) played around with the infinite possibilities of an unlocked bootloader.
3) killed android one way or another (debloating by hand, etc) - but it all worked again, thanks to the custom recovery
4) repeated step 3 a few times, until i liked the result
5) when creating the backup in recovery mode, the phone overheated constantly - so i submerged it
and this is how it went sour... i am still not sure, if the killing blow was dealt by heat, water or some other action - the phone just shuts down when i start it, while custom recovery works. flashing works also - over fastboot and the normal fashmode.
the interresting part is, that after flashing the bl back to locked even the sony recovery tool accepted it and flashed it again - but it won't boot anything else, just recovery (after unlocking and flashing it again, of course)
the only possibly useful info i got for you, is this log message in the twrp-console, which i did notice since then:
unable to recreate and-sec folder
maybe this helps others to identify the problem/solution for these strange bootloops
p.s.: even though it is only one possibility for what killed my phone: DO NOT use "the waterproof phone"(tm) under water
p.p.s: Cyanogenmod 12.1 works (well, as "well" as on any other m4) - i just installed that from an sdcard via twrp
I have a xperia m4 aqua, it have the same problems, but I´m thinking if a break glass or a crack has something to see with this problem, can you e-mail me? [email protected] please.
Hey, mine is also stuck in a bootloop.
had the wifi of for 3 days straight. Next time switching wifi on the phone just shuts down and gets stuck in a bootloop for like 45-60 minutes. Wifi is off, as soon as I activate wifi again. Same all over.
Any suggestions?
Did a restore from the original software also with other versions.
I guess its a hardware problem. But no glue how and why
got same problem here, could it be because glass is cracked?

Ahm i have the same problem too. Please tell me how to use flash tools on mac os
Hello everyone,
I have the same problem. It started when i saw that i had no 4G internet connection, so i thought lets restart my phone and yes now its in the bootloop .
I tried all kinds of resets, i tried to flash my phone which i did with succes, but still have the bootloop.
Now i have some questions:
- when did your bootloop started?
- Did u play pokemon Go?
- Was your phone warm or cold?
- Could it be a storage thats full?
- Do i have to bring my phone back or do i have to buy a new one?
- Could it be an software update that caused this?
The pokemon go thing is because it is a possibility that the game overheated your phone and maybe some hardware got damaged because of that.
i'm not sure of this, but there is a great change that thats the problem.
Hope we find the answer.

You can charge it without it being turned on I assume.
That should get you to 80 or more % so you can repair it with the companion software

Sorry, I do not quite understand how to charge it without being turned on, once connected to the power it will automatically start and restart infinitely, is there any detailed operation method can tell me?
Can you both to recovery and charge there?
Standard way per internet:
"
Recovery Mode SONY Xperia 1 III
At first hold down the Power key for a few seconds to switch off SONY Xperia 1 III.
After that hold down Volume Down and Power button for a couple of seconds.
If the SONY logo appears release the Power key."
In your case see if you can match step 2 up with the phone rebooting if that makes sense.
I would try that with power cable in first, then without the cable in, if the other doesn't work. Then put power in while in recovery mode.
Hope that works

Please help me, my Hong Kong version 512 grey xperia 1 iii arrived on the first day, I tried to brick the Taiwan version of the firmware, and now I am prompted as shown in the picture, and reboot infinitely. I want to use xperia companion to fix it, but it says it needs more than 80% battery so it keeps failing. I'd like to know how to charge it in case of infinite reboot. I'm really afraid of using newflasher as a white guy, I can't understand what partitioning or whatever I said in other posts, adb always prompts waiting for device, and the driver is always a yellow exclamation mark. Please have no big brother to help me! I am more anxious to use the phone also stall on such a thing!

Were you able to fix your phone? I have the same problem, I unlocked my phone and rooted it but then decided to relock my phone. Silly me i didn't charge my phone before using the Sony companion to repair it now it just keeps rebooting when I tried to charge it. Anyone has a solution to this is very much appreciated.
I had the same problem and brought it back to the store. It seemed that there was a problem with the fingerprint button, which kept the phone in restart boot. The only thing you need to do is to bring it back, have them/Sony check the phone. Ultimately you will get a New phone. I did. Yesterday. Hope it does not occur again.
I have same problem please help us. I have XQ-BC72 HK and I used New Flasher to flash RU or TW and corrupted. And I tried to fix with Xperia Companion but I have no charge.
Bro I solve the problem and phone is running now... Contact me...
