[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] udupa82:
I have a question for you... is the phone rooted ? If not then try following

1) start your PC companion and select update software

2) if software say, your phone is up to date then use here will be repair option you need to select it.

3) once you select repair it will download stock GB 2.3.3 and after download it will ask you to plug you phone in flash mode

4) remove phones battery and connect the phone to your laptop.

5) now place the battery back while holding down the back button (3rd button from left) { this step is important as this will get your phone into flash mode.

6) above steps should get your phone back onto stock unrooted ROM...

if you want then use flash tool to root it again but be careful with kernels and bootloader

Well, I think I have tried that and it still won't boot. But I will try again. (PS - Sorry for this old thread, but I just needed a break on working on it! I am going to try again and see if it works!)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetworkLabs:
What do I do if the phone just vibrates no matter what? Even when I plug it in to Flash Mode, it will vibrate after 5 seconds and won't stop!

Well, I restored with SEUS... If that matters, without a problem. Hope it works though!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetworkLabs:
Well, I just got to boot up and get to the lock screen! But, it won't turn on again. I am doing one more thing and I am going to attempt restore, then if that doesn't work - I will charge the battery. And if that doesn't work also, I will give up on it!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetworkLabs:
Well, I am going to continue for 3 more days, then I am officially giving up on it. I think it's a piece of crap now after reading about it, but! I will still try.

hey dude. xperia arc is a good phone, but you dont know what will you miss in our lovely x10.. hehe.. :laugh: anyway enjoy your arc and have a happy development of your device. cheers my friend.

---------- Post added at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

hey my friend, just had the same issues last two years when i bought my x10, its a hardware related issues, it is because of overcharging, i went to sony ericsson service center for the repair (i got my warranty that time so i dont have to pay), they repaired it and after two weeks my phone is still alive until now, no issues, bootloader unlocked and my x10 is blazing fast and flying. hope you refer on what im discussing friend.. press thanks button if i helped you.. thanks!.. :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImjuzCY:
If its software issues it can be unlocked without it on because you will put your phone into "I don't know what" mode, to unlock it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetworkLabs:
Wait, so the Phone overcharges? Well, is there a way to manually fix that because this phone is way over Warranty and I would like it to work.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devito666:
Hi there!

My X10 also refuses to boot, no matter what ;)

After some research here in the forum, I tried some stuff, but nothing worked for me...

Phones symptoms are as followed:

When the battery is empty, it shows the red flashing light of death (flashing three times).

When I charge it, it only shows me the red light every 2 or 3 seconds, stopping after about 15 minutes.

Putting another charged battery into it, it gives me a short vibration when I try to turn it on, no lights or anything else.

I also can not get it into flash-mode (no green light, not recognized by pc), flashtool, pc companion and seus all failed to detect the phone.

All drivers are installed.

Also tried different pc, cables and power supply.

I had stock gb on it.

So, I think thats all information I have...guess it is a hardware failure.

Maybe someone can confirm my presentiment...

or maybe an advice?

Thank you so much already

Have you rooted your phone? Is bootloader unlocked ? What ROM are you using, if yes then what kernel is it running on? Try charging the phone overnight.... let it charge all night for 8 to 10 hrs....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetworkLabs:
I have another thing I would like to mention -

When I took the battery out after a restore and left it out for 2 days, I decieded to turn the phone on. And it actually turned on and got to either the activation or lockscreen! But, crashed in like a second after that and restored to the current issues.

Does this mean anything?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetworkLabs:
Okay, software is now successfully working. I got it for the second time to get to the AT&T logo and then it froze/vibrated and shutdown. Then just now, I got it get to the Sony Ericsson Logo. So that pretty much proves to me that it's Hardware failure... Damn. Any suggestions?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImjuzCY:
If its hardware failure, theres not much we can do.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devito666:
Just rooted, stock gingerbread and locked bootloader

already tried charging over night, result in just a short vibration and no other sign of life (no led flashing)

i ordered a new battery, just for testing purposes, and maybe will order another broken x10 with broken display from ebay

can i mix the parts? anyone who already has experienced this?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] udupa82:
If you have a locked bootloader then you can not change kernel.. try downloading the rooted stock 2.3 (gingerbread) from the forums... remember it should be a .ftf file (flash able).... follow the steps...

1) place it inside flashtool (folder called firmware)

2) remove battery and turn off the phone

3) select flash option in the flashtool and select the downloaded .ftf file(ROM)

4) flashtool will ask you to connect the phone in flash mode

4) connect the phone without battery

5) now while holding down back button(3rd one from the right) place the battery back.

6) phone should immediately get into flash mode and the stock ROM should be flashed...

I hope this works if doesn't then try with new battery... charge the new battery full...

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddiinnkkoo:
I have some kind of a solution for you... so if the phone is just vibrating and showing the green or the red LED there is still hope :)

Try this: Put your phone in the freezer for a couple of minutes without the battery.

Use Flashtool to flash a stock ftf file...

The problem is that a lot of xperia phones are overheating....

After you successfully turned on the phone , try to charge it ( every time it goes off - put it in the fridge - take it out after a few minutes and continue charging)

Then root... unlock bootloader... flash a custom rom.... kernel... and you need to undervolt it after that.

This is the only semi-solution .... and try to keep the phone cool and it should work :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetworkLabs:
I will try this. Thanks! Because I have got it to actually get to the Lockscreen before, but then crash after that. I will attempt this when I get home!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toledo_JAB:
Is this happening with the cord plugged in on boot?

Before you turn it on with it plugged in, do you have charging battery screen?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetworkLabs:
Semi Good news! It boots up! I can unlock the phone and it work for a about 30 seconds then it reboots. But this is better progress! I am a step closer!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetworkLabs:
I believe it is working now. I have figured out what I believe the problem is. It does have a Overcharge problem because when I leave the phone unplugged, it works no problem. When I charge the phone while using it, it freezes and turns off. And the only way for it to boot up again is to throw it in the freezer for a minute or two. So I guess I will have to charge the phone while it's off and only use it when it's not plugged in. Or figure out a way to undercharge it... Who knows. I am happy to have it working again! I hope it continues to follow the path of working and I will be a happy camper!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toledo_JAB:
The kernel controls charging. It will not overCHARGE the battery, but if the battery is bad then standard charge would heat up battery. If the battery is to hot the charger is suspended(light stays on) until it cools.

If that is the original battery 2years old, it could easily be bad.

If you get it stable, get the 'current widget' app. This will show how much amps going to battery and it's temperature

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetworkLabs:
Well true, if it was overheating, it would probably exploded... =3

Anyways, I will do research on the battery life for the phone was used a lot. And I will most likey order a new battery off the Internet.

I would like to thank EVERYONE that has tried to help me with this problem! I finally have a Android I can play around with! It might be old, but it works!

Again, THANK YOU!

[Droid X General] lowriderdog37:
My WIFI network at home is visible and it showed full connectivity until I connected to it. It took a while but finally connected then showed no signal and disconnected, then showed full again, then tried to connect again, you get the idea. I have tested this with AOKP and Gummy with the same result. ALSO, I prefer to keep the network hidden but on setup, I hit "Save" it says "Setup has Stopped Working." I have seen this problem on AOKP and Gummy, the two ROMs I prefer at this time.

Root and ROM process I use:

- Started with stock Droid X (.621), SBF'd .604 through Linux (actually Windows the first time then had to call Verizon to fix. They were less than helpful until I got mad. I won't do that anymore)

- Zergrushv4 root through Windows

- Installed Droid 2 Bootstrapper

- Booted into ClockworkMod and formatted the various data's

- Installed ROM (AOKP build-39 is latest)

- Installed .604-to-.621-kernel-update (same result without doing this) <-- Currently running 15p radios if that matters.

- Installed Gapps

- Reset and performed initial setup

For sht's and gigs, I also tried installing the WIFI lib fix (I know it is for Blur) but that prevents AOKP from ever booting. It just sits on the rotating unicorn splash screen until I get bored and cut it off after 10 minutes. From there I have to go back to Linux and SBF .604. Ideas?

I was a noob as of last week but have learned a lot because of these forums. This is the first time I have had to post to get a question answered because there is so much good info out there. I appreciate the mostly accurate and educational information that is openly shared in this community.

EDIT: I tried SBF-ing .621 through RDS in Windows and then .604 in Linux. It is acting the same with Liberty (tried the wifi lib fix), and Cyanogen 7 and 9.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Does it connect to the network when on stock based roms or Gingerbread based roms?
[Droid X General] lowriderdog37:
It connects fine with the .621 and the .604 .sbf's

I just tried CM7 and that wouldn't even install (after a fresh .604 load)

I need to find another good Gingerbread to load and try that. Suggestions? Pref not blur
[Droid X General] lowriderdog37:
I got Vortex working with the WIFI. I would REALLY like to get away from Blur though. Suggestions?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Vortex is about as close as you can get to a blurless stock based ROM.

Have you tried MIUI to test the WiFi?

There is a Gingerbread version and an Ice Cream Sandwich version.
[Droid X General] lowriderdog37:
OK, crisis averted. I don't know 'why' but it is.

Before, when I was trying to get everything working the ROM Manager load of Clockwork wasn't working at all, I was stuck using the Droid 2 bootstrap. For whatever reason I tried using the ROM Manager again to load Clockwork and flashed AOKP to find that everything worked out of the box.

I did try MIUI a while back but didn't care for the UI.

Stupid Noob question. Will it benefit me at all to install the .604 to .621 image update with 2nd init ROMs?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tony yayo:
Wondering if anyone has tried it? I remember reading that the wall charger from my Tab 10.1 was more powerful than for the phones because it would take FOREVER to charge. Wonder if it's compatible with our S3?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tony yayo:
Anyone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] MontyPyFly:
I believe that anything that charges on USB is just getting 5 vt, so any charger would work with any phone/tab if it is charging through USB. I would guess that the wall chargers are also putting out 5vt and would therefor be fine with any mini USB plug charging device.

Easy to check, plug it in and see how it works. (Buy insurance first :-P )
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] gyrra:
Yes,

I have been using my tab 10.1 charger since the first day I got my sgs3.

It DOES charge faster, about an hour for a full charge from <8%

No problems I have noticed, and I am using blazer rom.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tony yayo:
An hour, eh? Nice. I thought it would charge faster but not that fast.

And im definitely talking about the using an outlet, not usb.

Thanks for the confirmation!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] gyrra:
No problem,

I knew you meant the AC charger, and that's why I posted. USB charging is slow until someone adds in the fastcharge ability to a kernel for our s3's

Glad I could be of help.

:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tony yayo:
Gave you your first thanks!

if this helps i used a blackberry charger and it worked.. i have had no issues.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tim5133:
(DEL)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tony yayo:
Not talking about blackberry either. The wall charger for the Tab is more powerful than phone chargers. Thats the only charger im asking about.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] crabapples:
Any modern device will limit its own current draw to what is needed to do the job. While it is certainly possible for a charger to be underpowered resulting in slower charging it should not be possible for a charger to be overpowered. That is, there is some maximum charge speed the phone is capable of and that limit is expressed as its maximum mA draw. a charger that sources under the max mA will be slower than one that meets or exceeds it. A charger that exceeds the max mA will not charge any faster than any other charger that also exceeds the device's max mA regardless of the differences in their source capacity.

So, if that makes sense to you then you should know it ought to be safe to use a powerful charger and that if faster charging results then the stock charger is in fact underpowered for the device it was paired with.

Disclaimer: Any engineer worth his salt is going to current limit the charging circuit on the phone. However, if this were not the case then providing increased charging capacity will most certainly damage the device.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tony yayo:
Basically youre saying the phone itself wont pull in anymore draw than it knows it can handle. So I guess if it does charge faster than great. Long as it dont fry im happy!

Hi all. So I got myself into a boot loop and that usually isn't a big deal on a nexus. Power off. Boot into bootloader, and select recovery. Boom. well I am unable to get into recovery that way. I can reboot into recovery from a rom no problem. And I can adb into it with reboot recovery. Just not through the bootloader like usual.

Any thoughts?

Bootloop to recovery

If you get caught in a boot loop, here is how you need to get into recovery with the Nexus 7.

Hold volume up, volume down and power until it boots into bootloader.

Plug into USB on your Windows Computer.

Open Command prompt (in fastboot folder)

type: fastboot reboot-bootloader

It will now reboot into bootloader. You can now unplug the USB, scroll down to Reboot recovery, press power button, and it will reboot to recovery.

(Please note you have to be unlocked, rooted with a custom recovery to do this!!!)
[Nexus 7 General] Awexit76:
Update, you don't have to use fastboot, or even have drivers installed. You just have to be plugged in to any comp usb. Mac windows whatever. Then you can enter recovery from bootloader. Wierd huh

Doesn't work for me, when I do that, instead of hanging at the Google logo indefinitaly, it eventually reboots (crashes?) and boots up normally into Android.

But I'll try the "fastboot reboot-bootloader" while being in bootloader thing, if that works, good enough for me.

Yet yes, I hope they'll bring out a fixed bootloader - but I don't really think they will.
[Nexus 7 General] ireun:
So there is still nothing we can do with that? ;c
[Nexus 7 General] CharliesTheMan:
Well custom rom's advanced power menu works, trinity kernel toolbox, goo manager I think, and apps like that all work. But if you bork it into a bootloop you'll need a USB connection.

Until there's an update from google or someone writes a new bootloader that's how it will be.
[Nexus 7 General] tshephard:
If it helps...

After much testing (and after update)

IT HAS TO HAVE USB when VOL DN +VOL UP + ON (only) from off

Later insertions do not work.

I bet it is not a bug, I bet they wrote code for external power check during entry to recovery, etc. Thus, I also bet it is deliberate, NOT a bug, and will not go away.

There are instructions all over the web about when to plug in, on mine it has to (only) be at VD, VU, +ON.

I made a list of operations and screen responses as I tested, if of value...

I just had this problem. 2 hours ago I never had this issue.

This started happening when I flash Franco's kernel.

Before I can boot to recovery by going to bootloader then choose recovery. Now I can't!

I even flash stock / re-locked and it still a no go.

I can only boot from recovery thru fastboot or while inside Android.

WTH!

EDIT: Could it be related to the build?

Here are my findings:

a) I used my mom-in-law's nexus 7 stock, never rooted = c8O = It DOES not boot to recovery from hardware buttons (bootloader then choose recovery) - but It boots to recovery from bootloader only when it is connected via USB

b) I have a C9O which was working before, but I flashed to STOCK (recovery using the Toolkit) then It can't boot anymore - so it might not be Franco's kernel

c) Friend's C9O stock, never rooted = CAN boot to recovery without having to plug in the USB.

Weird .. so maybe google will fix this.
[Nexus 7 General] apope:
Had this problem last night after flashing the latest AOKP. Kept getting stuck at the google screen and couldnt get into recovery at all. I downloaded the Nexus toolkit and was back working in 2 minutes. Highly recommend to anyone who has a similar problem
[Nexus 7 General] MRsf27:
you sir are a life saver, I was just stuck in bootloop and this workeD!:silly:
[Nexus 7 General] android88:
You can't. If you are running a custom ROM then there should be an option for "Reboot Recovery" if you click reboot in the Power Menu. You can also boot into recovery by using an application called Quick Boot. The third way you can do it is by hooking your N7 up to a computer then trying it. Note: the third way only works some of the time for me. Sometimes you can't change the mode. It kind of freezes.
[Nexus 7 General] Element515:
I thought there was something wrong with twrp. Great sorta... That it's not just a problem I have. Leaving the tablet plugged in when restarting allows you to access recovery.
