Hi everyone
yesterday I bought a X10 (it wasn't brand new)
I turned it on and it asked me for settings (language, time, etc) (yeah it's not new but they changed the rom before sell it to me)
I worked with it for like 10-15min and I got a big vibrate and it turned off. I pluged it into the charger, there was an orange led for 5min and then nothing, when I tried to turn the phone on I saw SE logo and it restarted. I plugged it to the charger, nothing again, not even orange led
I took it to a store and they shocked the battery, i came back, turned it on, it booted ok everything was fine,I plugged it again to full charge. orange led for 1.5h and then green led.I worked with it a short time then turned it off to put the sim and sd card in
when I turned it on it booted till lock screen and rebooted. again SE logo then boot again
it sometimes boot till lock screen sometimes only se logo and reboot
when it goes to lock screen I see antena has red x on it, i thought maybe that's the problem, i removed sim and sd, still the same
Please please please help me
ps 1: I can't connect it to the pc, I tried but when pc wants to recognize it and install drivers, it stops and says "not successful"
Have a look in the dev section for flashtool (there's a tutorial in the q&a section), look in the firmwares sticky in the dev section and download the firmware for your region. I suggest you pick a generic firmware. Now use flashtool to flash the firmware to the phone.
This should solve the problem.
thank you Frosty for fast answer
but my problem is my pc dosen't recognize the phone
flashtool works even without drivers?
Flashtool works in flash mode. If you can't get your computer to recognise the phone when it is powered on, it should still recognise it in flash mode. If not, there is an option in flashtool to install the drivers.
Sent from my x10, rocking Wolf's 2.3.3 + DooMKernel, overclocked to 1.2 GHz...
good, so I think I still have a chance to fix it
btw, now I have stock 2.3.3 installed
which rom do you recommend? should I install 2.3.3 again or downgrade to 2.1?
I want it to support farsi
X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUSTOMIZEDARO-ARO GENERIC 1241-1846
is right?
You could do 2.3.3 or 2.1. It shouldn't matter.
As for Farsi support, 2.1 supports more languages than 2.3.3 I think. I just checked the list of available languages on my 2.3.3 ROM and Farsi isn't listed. 2.1 might support it.
You could always try both to see which one better suits your needs.
That firmware you have is 2.3.3, by the way.
thank you so much frosty
I asked if i could install 2.3.3 because now have 2.3.3 and i have this problem. installing same version will fix it?
and one question about baseband
should i download one or it comes in firmware pack/zip
if I have to download it, how do I know which one?
Your're welcome.
Oh, in that case, you should be fine.
The baseband is included in the firmware file.
I'm facing a weird problem
I can't turn my phone on, I've been told to try flashtool and install a new rom
my old rom was 2.3.3
I downloaded flashtool and X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUSTOMIZEDARO-ARO GENERIC 1241-1846
first time I tried instrudoction in second post in this topic. it seems flashtool recognized my device and startet flashing but after a few min it said flash aborted
I wanted to try again but this time even before i connect the device to usb cable, flashtool say flashing start and nothing happen
I also tried SE update service, it downloaded the rom and it seem it worked (second green bar went to the end and said disconnect phone and restart)
I restart the phone but it reset after SE logo, sometime it boot till lock screen and reset again
Please help me
Sorry to say this, but you might be out of luck.
If re-flashing stock couldn't fix it, your issue may be a hardware problem.
Do you have any sort of warranty? If it's second hand, you probably don't.
You could try taking it to a Sony Ericsson service center and see if they can do anything.
omg
I'm officially beeeeeep
thanks anyway Frosty
btw, pc campanion and se update service do something different
is it possible that pc companion can fix it?
Well you could try. Couldn't hurt.

You had unlocked bootloader.
Check my tutorial, link in signature.
Also, flashmode is turn off phone, hold down volume down button and connect USB cable.

oh, good.
it's disappointing to know the service center didn't fix your phone. i guess warranty is just good for factory defects.
exactly ...if its a software fault we are better off solving it on our own from xda than service center...... they r only good for hardware faults..... and most of them are not covered in warranty i think
but they took my warranty papers and cancel guarantee...what a bastards
i am using now this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444858

if guys still on issues one and only best idea to overcome the problem is to relock the bootloader. it can be flashed using flashtool like we do for .tft files or sin files. try it out it really worked for those regreting OTA updates.
Sorry u are stuck

Hi there. First of all, sorry about my english, but i'm spanish
I was reading a lot, and i cant find a solution to my phone. It sudently becomes a brick just when charging (with anothers phone charger) and the battery was lower than 10%
It doesn't work, and don't response to any of all solutions i've read (Take out SIM, SD card, remove battery and wait... ) no way... Screen never come back to iluminate again. Just, when pushing power buttom, the phone's vibrates.
So tired of the brick, i've arrived at this page. And I read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
And try to become my phone back...
At least, the phone enter in flashmode, and i can flash with flashtools... but the phone never come back... just the brick
I tryed to flash with the Xperia_2011_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf file and OK
Afther that, take out the USB and flash again with one ROM i get from here:
Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i)
4.0.2.A.0.42 - http://www.mediafire.com/?hevz3x5w9pqt24q
4.1.B.0.431 - http://www.mediafire.com/?j0bdx06zz5skvzt
But the phone never works. One time afther flashing with 4.0.2.A.0.42 i noticed, that trying to power on the phone, the red led shyne 3 times, and thats supposed to be the battery. But i don't know if the battery now is charged. I've left it hours charging, and hours too to the USB...
Supposedly, i cant flash without battery in the phone, but flashtools finish correctly
So... any idea?
There is something i can do?
Thank all of you who read this!
Its probably battery empty. recharge battery or get a friends and try

First make sure that your battery is really fine. Try another one.
If that fails, see if you can get your device into flash mode?(Switched off+Vol Down + USB cable)
If yes, try flashing a custom ROM. For example, download CyanogenMod from here, use Flashtool (guide) to flash the kernel provided in the downloaded ROM's ZIP file. Then, boot again into Clockword Mod Recovery(Keep pressing Vol DOwn button while boot or google for how to enter recovery for your phone). Copy the downloaded Cyanogenmod ZIP to SD card and install it via ClockwordMod recovery.
See if the above works.

Try booting up your phone with the USB connector plugged in the PC (maybe it will charge the battery then)

At least my phone (LWW WT19i does not work without the battery with Flashtool. I'm not sure about your device.
Anyway try flashing a custom ROM like I said. Try unlocking bootloader first though from here
U said that red light show when try to on the phone.
Just try another battery.. It should work

You said LED blinks 3 times so if the color of LED is RED then it indicates empty battery..
Hey, my problem wasnt the same as yours, but it helped for me when i got only service logo on screen.
On this link you find a "Play_v1.01_TA brick fix UPDATE" zip.
Download, unpack and flash it.

i've the same problem as you. charge your battery with desktop charger. not too long, i put the battery and flash firmware in flashtool. and it work. when the flashing done and the device on, my battery just 3% lol. flashing with flashtool only takes a few minutes
OK Im pretty new to Android flashing etc, so go easy please
Customer brought in X10i locked to Orange-UK and running firmware 1.6
I used flashtool to flash 2.1 rom and after flash completed, phone boots to SE logo (writing) and then is stuck.
I have tried updating using both SEUS and PCCompanion. Both say that they have updated the phone successfully but phone still does not start.
After flashing with PCC boot process was same problem as before except I briefly saw an image of a camera and a blue arrow pointing down to a phone.
After flashing with SEUS, the phone does not start at all. When I press the power button I see red led flash 3 times repeatedly.
I thought maybe battery has died, so I have connected to mains charger.
Now the phone seems flashes red led once (repeatedly) for about 2 minutes, then led changed to solid green for about 2 minutes,then powers-up to SE logo/writing and camera/blue arrow image briefly, before repeating the process again.
I am not sure if the phone is charging or not? (or maybe battery is not even depleted?)
I am trying to unlock the phone for my customer using SETool or (Omnia?) but both say that 1.6 is not supported and handset must be flashed to 2.1
Seems like I have fallen at the first hurdle
I have searched the www and read forums and tutorials etc and have been at this for nearly 7 hours solid now
Please help.
Thanks.

The red flashing light sounds like battery issue! Do you have another x10 to charge the battery?
Have you rooted the device and unlocked the bootlaoder?
If so and you can enter xrecovery and flash a custom ROM wolfs for example?
Simply power off the device unplug USB cable and just press back button repeatedly while it starts up!

Hi,
Thank You for replying.
You are absolutely right about the battery/flashing lights. I have charged the battery externally and the red flashing light issue has gone.
The phone now powers up to SE writing, then camera and blue arrow, then back to SE writing and stops.
The phone was fully working on Orange-UK before I flashed it. It looked as though everything on it was stock and it had never been flashed or updated ever.
I have not tried to root it or unlock bootloader (Im not even sure what unlocking bootloader means?)
What can I try next to bring this back to life?
Should I just keep trying to flash different roms?
Maybe I should try to flash stock Orange-UK firmware?
Thanks for your help so far, and look forward to your reply

Sorry I dont mean to double post or annoy anyone but please can someone help me with this.
Thats nearly another day and still I am stuck at SE logo/writing
I have flashed 5 or 6 different roms now, all with same end result.
I think I am missing something somewhere?
Do I need to upgrade/downgrade kernel?
and what is usb debugging setting? I set it to 'on' when phone was working at the very start, but I think now it is off.
Do I need this to be on before flashing? and if so, how do i do this if the phone is not booting?
Thanks.
MK5
You will need the phone to boot up to put debugging on! This needs to be on to root the device! It wont root without it. It makes sense why your stuck at se logo im sure if you flash the wrong firmware to the phone it wont boot up flash the orange firmware 2.1 or 2.3. British orange version then root using flashtool and use the program in the link above to unlock the sim
Let me know if it works?!!
Good luck!!

Thanks m8, I'll give that a go. Battery has just died again, so giving it another charge just now.
Just a point to notw? - When i update the phone in SEUS, the process tells me that the update has completed successfully, but phone doesnt boot, and if I connect to SEUS again, it tells me that an update is available and this goes 'round in circles'
Is it possible that the phone somehow isnt actually getting flashed properly?
anyways will try the Ora-UK firmware first.
Should I look for stock 1.6 as that is what wason it originally? or can i go right ahead with 2.1?
Also where can I download these from? The only links I found for 2.1 orange were dead (megaupload)
Thanks for all your help so far m8. I appreciate it
star
m8 you are a star
I got firmware from omnius and unzipped and made a couple of modifications (as per tutorial on the site)
flashed my newly created ftf file and the phone booted
Back to running stock 1.6
I need to make sure I do things properly this time.
Can you give me any pointers as to the correct tutorials to follow?
I just want to unlock the phone so it will accept a Vodafone sim card.
Not too bothered about debranding and custom roms etc.
Thanks.

Hello
I got this phone some years ago, then i gave it to my mother she said one day it got out of battery then after many hours trying to charge it did not charge.
I tried to charge the phone, i get some flashing red light then it tries to boot
shows the sony logo then it goes black and does it again about 5 more times then it just go off.
I flashed the stock rom using sony software it was successful but it still does the same.
The phone is not rooted / not bootloader unlocked.
After one day charging still does the same. I am able to get green light to flash but i am not able to recover it.
Any ideas? i was thinking maybe if there is a gingerbread ftf rom i could fix it, but everything here is zipped and there is not ftf rom no custom
....thanks

Just force reboot your phone with Square button+Power button and reflash with SEUS or Flashtool. It worked for me. Try it. I don't think that there is a GB.ftf file, only the stock 2.1 one. Press thanks if I helped you in some way.
