How do I flash gb el26? Is that a from or kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Its a kernel, you need to use Odin or mobile Odin to flash the .tar file and then boot to recovery since a GB kernel won't boot an ics rom, from there it is safe to wipe and flash a new rom.

I'm coming from the Samsung Captivate, and on those ROMs I could choose which baseband I wanted to use based on performance. I used to access that by entering #*#*2263*#*#

Is there any way to do something similar on the GS3?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silv3rfox:
Well first I'm not a noob, been here for more than 3 years.

The problem is serious so here are the details.

My gf's X10i was running on X10s, locked bootloader.

The ROM was unstable so she went to flash the official 3.0.1.G.0.75 using the latest flashtool 0.9.0.0

The problem was that she tried to flash it with the flashtool without installing the drivers for Flashmode. So what happened that the phone kept rebooting, and could not shut down no matter how she pressed on the power button, it's just boot alone.

Although she could access xRecovery, so she restored the previous ROM, but the problem persisted. Always the phone boots to Sony Ericsson logo than boot again, and could not shut down.

After installing the Flashmode driver, she flashed successfully the ROM, but the problem still there.

She installed Pc Companion, went through the repair, and yet again the same problem. The phone boots to Sony Ericsson logo, and then boot again, and no way to shut it off, other than taking out the battery.

Any ideas? I went through google and xda, but unfortunately couldn't find a solution. Please I could use some help here.

Remove sd card

Reflash with SEUS not pc companion

Use battery out, USB in flashmode method

(battery out, insert USB, tell SEUS to flash, it will tell you to press back while inserting USB.... But press and hold back while placing battery back in phone)

That will guarantee a clean flash

Now for sdcard

Backup DCIM folder, xRecovery folder Andean other things you really need, do not backup the cache folders as it won't let you

Format sd card, place xRecovery folder back

I normally leave my DCIM on pc and dont copy back as it causes gallery problems sometimes if you have hundreds of pics

Let me know how it goes ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silv3rfox:
So here what I've been doing from yesterday.

Using different firmwares in the flashtool here is the list of the firmwares I tried.

X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897

X10i_2.1.B.0.1_CUST-DE GENERIC 1235-7836

X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUST-UK GENERIC 1235-7379

X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUST-IN_GENERIC_1237-0692

And with no success, I even tried different version of the flashtool 0.2.9.1

But there is something I noticed, the phone never boot when the flashtool finishes flashing. Even after using PC Companion.

Here is the lates logs from the flashtool 0.9.0.0

Everything seems going the way it should, but unfortunately the phone don't boot, and I should remove the battery then put it back, and here we go again the bootloop. I tried to wait for it to boot for 15 minutes with no sucess.

I didn't try SEUS yet, but I don't have much choices left.

I'll be back for more feedback.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wo88les:
REMOVE SD CARD AND SIM CARD :D !!!!!!!!! i really think it could be cache problem / sim problems....

i know it sounds really silly but its happened in the past to me, i swapped my sd for my backup sdcard and the bootlop disapperared

its like the rom i use atm is a bit funny with 3 network, if i have 3 sim in it crashes as soon as i install rom

but if i install rom with o2 sim card the phone works flawless lol
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silv3rfox:
Thanks wo88les, yes I did remove the sim card and the sd card, and now the SEUS is downloading the software for X10i. The internet connection sucks. And I'm pretty on my edge after last night :P

Hope it will work this time. I appreciate your help guys.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silv3rfox:
Okay guys, I'm loosing hope.

I did take out the SD Card, and the Sim Card

Flashed the phone using SEUS, and yet again the same problem.

Flashed it again with multiple other firmwares, with SD card and Sim Card out, and no success.

This is the current state of the phone.

I put the battery, the phone boot to Sony Ericsson logo, then reboot again to Sony Ericsson logo, an annoying bootloop. And cannot be shut down without taking out the battery.

I don't know what's the problem, that what is annoying me the most.

Please some support from the devs. :(

Forgive me if this has been brought up, but have you tried unlocking the bootloader cause maybe it just needs custom kernel.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] udupa82:
It might be on custom kernel... as he said try unlocking it... I know you r not a noob, give it a shot... if custom kernel and ROM works then ditch stock n go with custom...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silv3rfox:
I didn't try to unlock it yet because I wanted to use just the basic custom configuration like installing MIUI rom.

And I don't know if it's a kernel problem, the fimewares contains the original kernel inside them.

And by the way I tried to intentionnaly unplug the phone while flashing to see if a triangle will show up when it boot. And yes I saw the triangle, I then reflashed the firmware, and I got the same old problem.

I'm trying now to use the flashtool on another computer, maybe it's a driver issue, but very unlikely.

If it won't succeed I will try to unlock the bootloader as z28tovette suggested
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] udupa82:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silv3rfox:
@udpa82

I can't access xRecovery.

I still have the same problem.

Okay here is what I did.

I tried to repeat the same procedures on a different PC, and as expected, it didn't make any difference.

So I went to unlock the bootloader with this method, and I faced 2 problems:

1. USB Debugging cannot be turned on, simply because I flash the original 2.1 firmware (X10i_2.1.B.0.1_CUST-DE GENERIC 1235-7836) and I cannot access it. (Bootloop till Sony Ericsson)

2. When the device is connected in step 4 (now wait until flashtool recognizes your x10), due to bootloop when the device is turned on, X10 keeps connecting and disconnecting. So I really can't start the batch qsd8250_semc.cmd, I tried to wait till the flashtool say it's connected, then I closed the flashtool, and started the qsd8250_semc.cmd, I got daemon started succesfully, and nothing more, so I run the flash again and I get error. I know I suppose to run it without the flash but the device keeps restarting!

This is a picture taken from the qsd8250_semc.cmd window.

I can't go any far with this behaviour of the device.

Whenever the battery is in, the device boots to SE logo, stay stuck for 1 second then reboots again to SE stay for 1 second , then reboots...

I don't know if I'm missing something in the bootloader unlocking, because I never tried it on the X10i before, but I'm sure everything is done the right way.

Is there some firmwares that come rooted and with USB debugging ticked on?

So you r still on 2.1 ? If you are then use SEUS and upgrade to gingerbread... after that you can root and unlock bootloader... when you start don't PC companion select support zone... click start-> select a phone software update and click on start -> it will say could not find phone... below that there is a repair phone option, choose it and repair.. it will download and install latest gingerbread stock rom...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silv3rfox:
Thanks for the reply, but let me explain the situation again.

I already tried to use SEUS and PC companion for repairing my phone, and as the flashtool, everything go very well till the end, but the phone still not responding.

I tried to use SEUS, after the flashing, I unpludged the phone and got the same problem. It's just not booting further than SE logo. And keep restarting.

So let me sum up the things I did:

1. Reparing using Pc companion - Result: Reparing finished successfully, the phone bootloops to SE logo.

2. Reparing using SEUS - Result: Reparing finished successfully, the phone bootloops to SE logo.

3. Flashing multiple firmwares using the flashtool 0.9.0.0 & 0.2.9.1 - Result: Flashing succesfully, the phone bootloops to SE logo

4. Unlocking the bootloader - Result: Failed simply because of the bootloops and the USB Debugging Unticked because I can't access it.

5. Repeated all the above on a different PC - Result: Same problems.

The firmwares I tried to flash using the flashtool.

X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897

X10i_2.1.B.0.1_CUST-DE GENERIC 1235-7836

X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUST-UK GENERIC 1235-7379

X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUST-IN_GENERIC_1237-0692

The persisting problem of bootlooping: What's happening exactly?

When I put the battery inside the phone, the phone boots to SE logo, stay 1 second, then reboots to SE logo, and stay for 1 second, then reboots ... etc. Endless bootloop
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] udupa82:
It lloks like baseband issue and nothing more than it... I haven't seen this kind of issue before.. I keep flashing new from every other week just to test them...

A question for you?.. since you are saying your bootloader is locked, it should be easy to flash stock ROM using seus.. you can't flash a new ROM using flashtool if you r bootloader is locked.. you c, only flash stock roms and if u r not rooted then I think that's also not possible..

When I upgraded from 2.1 to 2.3 I had to downgrade and upgrade my baseband... some weird thing... there must be a link some where for it... or you might find a video on youtube for it.. look up...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silv3rfox:
I don't think so, because when you use PC Companion, or SEUS, it flashes the firmware with baseband.

But anyway I tried to flash the gingerbread firmware using the flashtool, X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUST-UK GENERIC 1235-7379 and the baseband 2.1.71, but the problem still the same.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z28tovette:

Try a locked bootloader kernel See if it helps.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silv3rfox:
Hey guys, finally it's working.

BIG thanks to everyone, especially udupa82!

Yes it was a baseband problem, I flashed the final 2.1.71 with 3.0.1.G.0.75 and it didn't work.

A few moments ago, my gf was cleaning the hard disk, and found my Old X10 stuff, ROMs, Basebands, And firmware, so out of curiosity she flashed the 2.1.B.0.1 with baseband 52 (I was classifying each firmware with it's compatible baseband) and it did work perfectly.

Although I never suspected that it was a baseband problem, because simply I assumed that when reparing form PC Companion or SEUS, the baseband is flashed with the firmware. And I think it's not the case here. I feel noob :P

Thank you everyone again for the support! My gf wont dump me now :P

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] major9686:
Everyone says to use seus but maybe cause its already 2016, or maybe cause X10 is an old phone.. it seems like SEUS doesn't support it anymore.. nor the PC Companion... have Sony retired it ?!

Edit:

I'm stuck in Flash mode loop ?

when ever I put the battery into the (Japanese) X10, the green led lits for a milisec. and disappears.

on flashtool sometimes it goes into flashing without me holding/pressing on the BACK key. which made me think its stuck in flash mode.

Also when I try to turn on the phone, it vibrates at most, nothing shows on the screen. does that means its finally 100% bricked ?

I managed to get successful flashes in flashtool -> at least that whats flashtool says.
