[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadf:
Hey everyone. This is a quote from androidforums.com it is not my own writing, but this is my exact problem.

"Hey everybody, i recently bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia x10i and thought i should root my phone, using the following tutorial:

Newbies Guide to Rooting X10 and giving you the newest firmware! - xda-developers

So, i was following the steps and after i completed step 5, my phone refused to turn on. At first, the phone would initially vibrate like normal and the LED light would turn green, but then immediately turn off. 5 seconds later, the phone would start constantly vibrating with a black screen and the phone would become unresponsive. To turn it off i had to remove the battery.

I then downloaded the Sony Ericsson PC companion and tried to repair my phone. However, it did no good. Now my phone does the initial vibration, except this time the black screen would lighten up slightly and just stay like that.

I then attempted to charge my phone overnight and when i woke up it just flashes 3 red lights where the LED light is.

could somebody please help me? i only bought my phone 3 days ago and would be a COMPLETE waste of $600 if i was unable to get a replacement phone due to the void of warranty due to rooting.

Is there any way of fixing the phone? If not, is there any way of removing any trace of me rooting or attempting to root the phone (without turning the phone on since i can't) in order to use my warranty?"

My phone has now gone so flat (and doesn't seem to charge) that i can't enter flash mode.. although it was working last night before i went to bed and i did manage to update it using SEUS. But it wont boot up properly. Any ideas? I have noticed that there are a few other people that are having the same problem.. but no one seems to have a solution.

I have also noticed that it runs in a loop. When i plug it in the red light flashes for a while, then attempts to turn on.. and does the black screen for a while. Then it runs out of battery and goes back to the red flashing light. then it repeats.

Hope you can help. Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
Have you tried flashing new firmware with flashtool?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadf:
As i tried to explain above.. my phone wont enter flash mode as it is too flat. And it wont charge. when i take it off the charger and try and turn it on. it flashes red three times then a break then three times again and so on.

Any ideas on whats going on?

would it be possible to still claim in on warranty as it wont start properly and wont connect to the computer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kthejoker20:
So here is an idea I have. I will be tinkering with this.

But I want to see if I can get anyone else to provide input.

Setup partition and sd partition.

Setup a soft raid 0.

This is the only way I can think of speeding up the bottlenecked disk.

Input.... I don't think its that hard...
[EVO 4G Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
The EVO does not have a built in RAID controller so I don't think this would work.

There is only 1 controller that I know of that can run a RAID array off 1 drive and that is the Intel matrix chipset.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
He did say soft raid, which is possible...feasible, no idea - possible, yes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
Ah, not up to terms on soft raid. I always run the real deal on my rig.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheBullyNextDoor:
Putting raid 0 on the SD card would not benefit you in any way because all the data is still traveling through the one pipe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
Not to mention the same card... so, you would be writing the same data to the same card over the same pipe, and there would be exactly 0 difference in write/read speeds.

If you want faster throughput, get a higher class SD card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drmacinyasha:
Bottleneck? EVO? Erm... The internal memory is about the equivalent of a Class 6-8 SD card. Just get a Class 10 16GB card for $30 and load as many apps on it as possible. Problem solved.

As for RAID... You're doing this all through the same bus (as stated above) AND you'll be taxing the crap out of your CPU, RAM, and NAND. There's a reason RAID controllers have dedicated processors and memory, y'know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] skydeaner:
I think the bigger question is... will going above 15 megabytes a second help anything at all or even be noticeable. I get solid 12megabytes per second off a crap 8gb. And none really go over 20 megabytes. Another thing I noticed is that over clocking increases increases read speeds past 12mb so it might he the phone not able to keep up processor wise interpreting the data.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
This Thread is for those Unlucky Users of X10 mini who were hang in Boot-Loop and Can't able to Switch-Off their precious phone.

I am talking about An Hardwre Trick to Switch-Off your phone and make it to the SEUS easly... Thats works 101%.

To Switch-Off your Phone you need to perform these Steps....

1. Remove the back cover.

2. You will see a rubber cog Just left side of the Camera...

3. Remove the Rubber Cog by any way (just be gental with it)....with the help of Pin or Sumthing that you can lift it up.

4. After removing that Cog.....you will see a White small Plug that connects the wire to internal battery!!!

5. Remove that Pulg(Very gentally.......with the same method you done with Cog).....After this you will see that your phone got Switched-Off.

6. Replug the White Pulg.And the Job is Done.

7. Launch the SEUS application in your computer and follow the steps....

8. And WOW you got your Phone back Completely working!!!

Here's The Screen Shots For The Respective Steps-:

(Sorry For The Blurry Images)

2,3.

6.

This Isn't Risky....I Personally Done This Method Several Times!!!!

(So No Need To Be Afraid)

Don't Forget To Click On THANKS Button If It Helped You!!!

Disclaimer-: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE for any damage to your precious device......But i'll help to solve any Query regarding this method!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nishan432:
I think flash tool method is safer. No need to power off just holding home+power button make phone restart.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Divr:
I've put the link for your thread on my blog. I hope you don't mind.

http://xperiaminicyanogen.wordpress.com/help/bricked/
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kurotany:
yeah, this kinda feels too risky, better the simple connect phone, open flashtools,select a rom to flash, press home+back+on and then release everything but back, works every time :p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] markusarwan:
LOL nice share..but by pressed power+home key i can restart my mini... :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Divr:
But without really turning off your phone, you can't use SEUS or flashtool.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DaRk_dOg:
Not really.

Check this post.

Done it hundreds of times, always worked even when the phone was on a bootloop.

Regards, D_d
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Yeahhh i really don't mind.....its a kind of help!!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Clarification Of Thread !!!

People please try to understand this is for those people who can't able to handle the Loop problem with only (Power+Home) buttons.......or miss there clicks during several restarts to flash there ROM.....This method enables them to easy flash there ROM.....without doing this in hurry....So did you people got that!!!!

Any more query!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zippov3:
That's right, on a bootloop there's no way to make flashtool work!

Anyway during bootloop xrecovery works fine and if i know what i did wrong i can fix it :-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DaRk_dOg:
Of course you can.

If you had your /system formatted (by accident or smth), you would not be able to access xrecovery menu.

However, you can stop the bootloop sequence with the instructions i posted earlier (and it is not something secret, most of the advanced users know this procedure). Flashtool and SEUS can recognise the device and they work.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] abdullah1982:
seems u just wanna have an arguement. i myself tried ur method first and i went crazy without any luck. then i got a toolkit and actually opened my phone apart and took out the battery terminal and reinserted it. i wish that i got pratyush idea before. it would have saved me lot of time
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rille:
Agree with you. I have done it a few time by those instructions uou posted earlier and I know other users who have done it by the same way also.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DaRk_dOg:
abdullah1982,

i don't need to argue with anyone and it is very sad that i have to defend myself right now. I have fixed, or help in fixing, many bricked mini/mini pro devices and many users in here, know my contribution.

I insist on the button reset method because its less dangerous than just pulling the battery connector plug.

It is not my fault if you were incapable of doing a soft reset, but that does not mean i am obliged to accept malicious criticism from you or anyone.

I understand that pratyush_gamer's pure intention, was to help people and i am not try to offend him IN ANY WAY.

BTW take a look at this thread. You will see that "unplug connector" method was well known before.

Regards, D_d
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Guyz its ok.....this will be a hardware method its a little bit unique......And if anybody got software Technique its better.....but its really Safe as well as Reliable.

So if any of you wanna try it.....its ok ......nothing to worries about.....

I AM ALWAYS HERE TO HELP!!!

@D_d i know you just wanna help....but dude...if they find this method more easy or secure or reliable.....thats really no matter.This thread is mean for that purpose only......I heard many times about the Phone Got Bricked....so i just tried to help.....Thats why i created or suggested this method.........if you really didn't seems this thread to be secure....Then its OK.....But pls don't let others to Dis believe others.....

THANKS Bro.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
@gopichand2810 down is your file dude!!!! replace is with ur 's

Click Thanks Button if it helps you!!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cwkhong:
what now, help!

ok i managed to shut off the phone, plug in to seus, reply..ur software up todate, no repair option? this problem was during installing a new rom. after installing, rebooting to se logo..loop..se logo...loop...when i plug in the power charge there is no light.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Dude if you aren't able to update via SEUS...then pls try thses steps as in order -:

1. Start SEUS(updated version).

2. Choose your phone model.

3. Turn -Off your phone and then press next at SEUS.

4. Plug the USB cod with pressed back button(jsut before you plug the USB to phone click & hold button).

5. After checking the software it says that you got the latest version of fermware....if prob. then Repair.

6.Click repair and it will start.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cwkhong:
sorry i m not clear on step 4. can explain again? tq. i tried again as much your step but no repair
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
4. i mean that first click and hold Back button on phone,keep holding button and plug USB cod in ur phone!!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cwkhong:
after showing...no new software for my phone, ur phone has latest software....there is no repair option, anyway.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cwkhong:
Phew! Fixed bricked mini

i fixed bricked mini. turning off with detaching battery cable at the back (couldn't do this any other way). then with flashtool.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Brother....i know that it will say that you already got the latest firmware........then still you need to press NEXT button for update....and it will prompt you that to repair it.......Click next and the firmware will be installed.....As per it installs and booted successfully check its Baseband and you will be sure that wat i wanna tell you.....Try it for my sake!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cwkhong:
ok maybe the time i need to update i'll try this but for the time being i managed to fixed it, thanks partly to you. Cheers BROTHER!:D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Pleasure to help bro.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] arkedk:
Since the bootloader is locked down, you can't brick the phone!!!

A boot loop is not the same as bricking. Bricking is when your phone is fried and can't do anything!!! Change the wording on this.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] krecik_002:
Plz add screen/picture
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Actually i am on vacation so the pics will be uploaded soon!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Dude this thread is solution for Boot-Loops prob.+ Hangging prob.'s......i am specific for everything!!! :p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] arkedk:
Might be a solution for bootloops.

But bootloop and bricking is two very differnet things.

When you brick a device that means it can't be used anymore other than as a paper weight or get thrown out.

So please don't tell people that bootlooping is bricking, when it's simply a software failure that can be easily fixed by re-flashing the firmware to the device.

That's why I would like you to change the wording on your post & headline
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
So suggest any other name......well i take this name becoz many people didn't know the difference between boot-loops and hangging......So many people find this thread easly coz of this name......

Anyways pls suggest any other name which catches attention!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] CM-PRo:
Thanks Bro!

Thanks a lot mann! This method saved me today! Owe you one. ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Plesure is mine brother!!! :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rufnnek:
i didnt see any rubber cog, i only see a film.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Bro. i didn't have any idea of X10 mini pro...its only for X10 mini.....BTW if you are using x10 mini ...then open ur back cover and right side of camera you will see a Rubber Cog(Black) suitably fitted on a gape....when you removes it....you can see a white switch and then follow the step of the first post!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rufnnek:
right side or left side, bro?

im confuse?

on your 1st page you said left side and here you said right side.

but ill try to check it tonight...both sides...thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
brother the sides depends on how you handle the mobile...watever you can clearly see the Cog jst on side of camera!!!

You really made me laugh on myself....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rufnnek:
yeah, dude but i cant see anay rubber cog its only a rectangular plastic with adhesives on the other 2 sides and when i removed it i saw IC pins...this is my x10i mini. this item is on the left side of the camer push button switch when the phone is facing.

p.s. don't laugh alone dude...its very dangerous...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Woah woah woah...WTF....dude stop this before u brick ur phone down.....What X10 mini u use is that an ALIEN technology......pls buddy don't do anything rackless...pls concern to ur nerest service station they will definately help u...Before you brackit for sure!!!!

If you can't able to do so then pls wait till tomorrow's night(Actually i didn't hv anything currently to shoot a pic of it) So wait and i'll upload the Screen-Shots....!!!! Please Wait for the Screen Shots!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] VooDoo`:
here you can see the opening for the white small power plug
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Thanks bro. for your quick support for this. I am sure this 'll be handy..i'll soon give all screen shots about this!!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] coolgame:
hey guyz,i found the recovery method via SEUS by DaRk_dOg here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11856048&postcount=4

is not working with the xperia X8.i tried it almost 10 times and then i thought of modifying the method a bit and it worked.

problem:

My friend had accidently deleted his \system folder and due to that,the phone on rebooting was stuck at the sony ericsson logo and would not go any further

solution:

1) charge the phone

2)download SEUS

3)connect usb port to pc.

4)Launch SEUS

5)When asked to plug the phone,plug the USB into the turned off phone(by removing and reinserting battery) and press the <-- and power button together and keep pressed until led turns green

6)the phone will be updated via SEUS

Big thanks to DaRk_dOg !!!

Great

Great thread man this is very helpful but i hope i never brick my phone in tha future lol

Thumb up for you :good:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xristosdino:
hello everyone,

I have no experience with mini and mini pro, but I recently was given one of each devices witch are both similarly faulty. What I mean:

X10 Mini was never get root access or any kind of mod. Now when I connect the charger the red led flashes, and only with the charger on it turns on but when "sony erricson" logo appears it turns off and boots again and again. I tried SEUS and it worked but nothing changed.

X10 Mini Pro was also never modded for root or anything. Connected to charger the red led stays on and when I try to turn it on, a black screen appears with an instand vibration and then it turns off, and then on and off... I tried on this also SEUS and it worked but nothing changed.

Is there something I can do or you think they are both dead???
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
I think both batteries are dead. not the phones themselves.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xristosdino:
even if the batteries are dead, shouldn't they work normally when connected to a charger?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
I don't think the charger feeds the phone directly. It just feeds the battery faster than it can normally drain. If the batteries are dead they won't hold any charge, and can't power the phone.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xristosdino:
I managed to power the mini pro with an other battery but it did the same, black screen then off and repeat. I still believe it's dead. I'll try to power also the mini. If there are any other suggestions I'll be happy to hear.

Has anyone tested the wifi throughput?

Stand a couple meters away from your router. Connect to your LAN and do a 100MB file copy. What do you get for xfer speed (not the link rate)?

(Oh, and don't cover up the Xoom antenna next to left speaker.)

Let me know if you're connected using 2.4GHz or 5GHz, 20MHz or 40MHz, and your router model #.

I'm curious if the Xoom can handle 720p streaming, assuming a decent wifi signal of course. Most laptops can, but handhelds generally have worse wifi reception.
[Xoom General] hawk2k8:
it's about 36Mbps.

sorry,can not post URL on the forum.

ttp://img5.pcpop.com/ArticleImages/500x375/1/1856/001856136.jpg

(add ‘h' at the beginning,and you will see the data.)

original archive is @ ttp://www.anandtech.com/show/4191/motorola-xoom-review-first-honeycomb-tablet-arrives/13
[Xoom General] e.mote:
Thanks for the link. The article refers to the number as the peak rate, which frankly isn't very useful. I'm more interested in the sustained rate (for video streaming). It also mentioned the Xoom as having 2.4GHz (only), while the Xoom's Broadcom BCM4329, same as used in the iPad, is dual-band capable. It would be good to ascertain if the Xoom can or can't use the 5GHz band. Reports on here have been mixed.

From the iFixit teardown,

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Xoom-Teardown/4989/2

the wifi microstrip antenna used does look to be more robust than the typical. Given that it's easily moddable, I'm curious if there's enough space for a higher-gain PIFA antenna element. Any wifi hackers here?
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Why wouldn't the Xoom be able to handle 720p streaming? We are talking 5mbps for a very high quality 720p as a bitrate. Pretty sure it can handle that without a problem. My phone streams 720p without a problem. The iPad does as well.

The average bitrate for my 720p videos is around 3500kbps. The highest I have seen is 7000kbps in my Planet Earth clip.

I am absolutely sure the Xoom can handle the streaming aspect of your question.

I found these on the internet looking around and didn't have a clue at what they meant. I do now but it took alot of reading, Anyone else know what they mean from school or your job? Also what would they make if you put them "together"?

No googling them either keep it fair!
[Off-topic] sumflipnol:
The third one (B avg)...is that an equation for the rate of change of the area of a figure (like a cube or something)?

I don't know...whoever even discovered these equations are insane.:eek:
[Off-topic] Sanbourne:
Ha yes they are, and im not sure i just know it has to do with a magnetic field.
[Off-topic] aventinus:
The first one is an angle. μ0, Ι, s are variables and π = 3.14

In the second one, he/she replaces the angle φ with with a type.

The third one is the resolution of the integral of Βavg. Oblviously I don't know what Bavg is, but probably the answer is where you found them.

And in the fourth one he/she replaces the previous equations to find the final type.

In order to understand these equations you have to know their physical meaning which must be in the description of the problem.

In Greece actually we learn integrals in highschool. :-/
