[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xoticpnai808:
Please Help...

Hello, /bow to you and to xdadevelopers you guys are awesome :D

Im new to all of this, i have read hundreds of pages & videos before posting and i just can't seem to get it :(

My problem mostly is the Flashmode part :(.

I have installed everything....UAC is down, SEUS & PC downloaded, changed the APNs. Installing the FW and Flashtool was fine...

Altho somehow i was able to update my phone by leaving the Update service open, after numerous tries it went thru. Im afraid i forgot the sequence of trying to Flash it since i did it all day until the middle of the night. Ready to pull my hair out. Around 4 a.m only then it went thru xD. Hallelujah!!!!!:eek: Everything seems to be working fine except for when i try to connect my emails, only Gmails can go thru and not my yahoo or hotmail accounts :( Im not worrying about that yet.

My phone can't go into Flashmode using the Flashtool without having the SEUS open

My phone can go to FlashMode using SEUS. As long i keep the window open to the steps "Connect" part where you about to hit install. I live it open in the background

So i tried to update my husbands phone now. He has the same phone as me. Again the phone is not being recognized,

"FlashMode Setup" does not pop up to begin with (same thing with mines, when i was trying to update my phone)

I just go "Flash"> "Firmware Selection"> I select the FW> I check "Wipe UserData"

This is the part where i tried kind've different ways of connecting to Flashmode. After reading so many posts. It seems theres a trick or something to go about it? whether...

back-usb-battery

or (whether holding back button short time or long time)

back-battery-usb

(and some don't even require removing the battery at all o.O?)

then

Pressing "FirmWare Selection OK" once the green button lights up or wait a few seconds? (as i think Androxyde mentioned on other post)

But once i click "OK" from FirmWare Selection. I get the "FlashMode" Picture already :(

I get this with SEUS being open

I get this with SEUS closed ( i notice the "Flashmode" window opens and closes real quick during this process. Just before "ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted" pops up. Once this ERROR pops up, the phone booted up

I even tried checking or unchecking the Debugg. Still nothing. Altho we don't have Unknown Sources o.O?

Only when i was able to update my phone 2.1 (which im not exactly sure how i did it xD) was i able to see the Unknown Sources

I was wondering, do you change the APN before or after the update to 2.1?

Sigh i repeat again (altho i lost count) after waiting 30 seconds
