if you see SE logo then IM SURE you aren´t bricked.

try again and again and again till you get it or use flashtool

remember YOU AREN´T BRICKED FOR SURE ;)

Ive literally tried dozens of times to start it up, flashtool isnt helping with anything atm, and SEUS needs the phone to be "Mounted" For me to repair etc.

Otherwise it doesnt read the phone.

Its just at Sony Ericcson and stuck.

Hi!

I hope someone here can tell me if i can still fix my fried's X10 (so 1b) or it will need a trip to the repair centers...

First up, my friend said he bricked the phone by upgrading to 2.3 using Flashtool.

as I can see, the phone wont boot up anymore. it will just vibrate, but the screen wont even show the white SE logo, just black. phone wont even charge offline. but the good thing is, it can still go on flashmode.

I tried flashing using flashtool, but most of the time, i get the error "flashing aborted" after the system.sin is flashed (before userdata.sin is flashed), then it ask me to unplug, and reboot.

I tried SEUS, but it says that there is no update available for the phone.

Pc Companion on the other hand, says "No available download yet, please try again later".

i'm at a total loss now, just short of sending the phone to the techs.

EDIT:

after more than 5 hours of reading and re-flashing, i came to an article that says x10s that are having the same symptoms as mine (flashing aborted with flashtool, SEUS wont install update, PC companion saying no software available), are caused by NAND memory failure.

in which case, i am not entirely sure if it can still be repaired, or we have a very expensive paperweight

brilliant thread!

has anyone successfully debranded their X10 mini with this?

will it affect the SIM unlock in any way? don't know how it was done but they sent the phone away and charged me €40....

if it makes a difference it's an X10 mini, originally on vodafone spain, but being used on movistar spain. firmware is 2.1 from movistar....

i've already debranded my xperia arc like this but the x10 mini is my girlfriend's and she'll kill me if i mess it up so i'm being extra cautious and doing as much research as possible before i take the plunge ;-)

This thread was created initially by me when flashtool appear on market :D

In the beginning of the week i was contacted by G-FACE to offer his help cause he had created a thread similar to this one on a site of his country. He offered himself to translate and i´ll put the translation here.

Well, that wasn´t exactly how i see things. He do the job. He must take the credit for it:)

So, the next posts and despite the fact it appears like it was written/created by me that´s WRONG! He did it after contact mods and give him access to do so.

SO. Thank you G-FACE and thank

got problems bellow

Follow it carefully.

1. It flashed successfully ftf 2.1ROM model x10i.

The Problem it doesn't flash anything. (thats i kept stick with 2.1 rightnow)

2. Flash ftf DT file.

It doesn't give DT.

3. I tried your 'command' vm.heapsize...XXX made 40 and windowsmgr...XXX made 250

It made booting SE logo white forever.

solve it really stop annoyance in x10i
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
1. you flash successfully or not :confused: firstsay you did second say you didn`t

2. if yo uflash DT IT GUIVE you dt. enter on some picture by some explorer and you`ll see. This won`t work on every app (blame SE for that, not anyother :) ) but you can find a solution for work on every app here at xda

3. if you get stuck on that you`ve donne something wrong. with proccess you use?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w2wells:
successfully flashed (in flashtool)... always. it did not make any changes (after that)

oh yeah. about DT, it also show success (in flashtool). and after that just did not make any changes. (i tried albums, multitouch tester, phone tester, psx4droid)

Proccess did i used to

1. i do use ftf directly in FW folder.

just flashed

2. using old Flashtool, i rename every ftf, try to flash, even combine ROM and DT kernel.sin

3. after all didn't succeed i try to change loader.sin to working loader.sin then flash it.

So complicated. from easy to hard i ever do.

is there something wrong?

****next step: 4. :D ( i'm downloading a ftf stock with DT )

still downloading and takes hours. so low****

i really appreciate you so kind. and looked young person.

i'm wrong.. LOL
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
Like i said. If you`re siccessfull with DT you have DT.

Try through astro file manager, browse to a picture and see. Forguet SE apps `cause they won`t support DT.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w2wells:
But the multitouch tester, nor phone tester didn't found 2 touch

just recognized 1 touch

i even try searching for youtube tutorial, found nothing. LoL

Oh yea, about Guide make DT work on every apps by my immortal i've done this too some times and never worked

i think if i can get a DT in several apps, i can extend by that tutor. But than think about extend, the basic i didn't get yet not worked
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
forguet about apps to test dt

just test yourself like i said
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w2wells:
wish i could understand what in your mind. but i didn't.

Maybe you mean that forget about testing, and just stay along without (maybe) even knowing if i had a DT.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
yes.

all those dt testers was made to work on a "real" dt screen. as you should know this is something that SE developed "by request" as they always said that dt wasn`t supported by x10.

so just do what i told you to and test on a picture through astro file manager

What are you trying to do exactly? Flash a firmware?

Or if you just want to root/recovery or s.th else, then there is no need to put the phone in flashmode.

Try to flash a fresh firmware and do the thing again.

Are these kernels in ftf format? If yes, you just need to push the flash button and choose it from the appeared list. Did you tried also with the latest 0.5.3.0 flashtool?

If i remember correctly there was some problems with recognizing Xperia Play. Use this method to root: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18805532

Because probably you does not meet the requirements. You have to be on stock kernel (better be on stock firmware too) to be rooted and to have some of these devices: x10, x8, x10 mini/pro

"Try to flash a fresh firmware and do the thing again."

I did this man, i flashed a generic SE 2.33 rom for x10 (X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_1241-1846) and then rooted the device.

What i found out was that the problem wasn't about rooting it, just with root, i could wall charge it normally, and the battery was ok.

The problem was when i installed xRecovery in it. After i installed it, the cell phone would once again, boot when wall charging, and the battery would drain fast.
