hi, i was trying to update my x2 with seus(sony ericsson update service), and, when the seus finish the rom download, and start to install it, the progress bar doens't start, and i disconnect it, and now, my phone don't want to turn on.
please help me.
and sorry for my bad english.
you should hardreset ( i think that should work tho.. ) im not sure how to hard reset an x2 but i think its similar to x1
put the pen in the small hole when you take the battery cover off and press at the same time 2 buttons on the front of the device.. ( or google it )
thank you, i'll let you know.
nop, it doesn't work :S
You could just try to run SEUS again, even while the phone appears dead. It may still be able to update the ROM. Good luck.
If your phone doesn't power on at all, then charge the battery
If your phone does power on but doesn't boot, enter bootloader (volume down + power) and SEUS again
i charged the battery, all the night, with a universal battery charger, and nothing, i cant enter bootloader, i can't do nothing, please, help me.

how can i do that, if when if press turn on+ volumen down, the cellphone don't do nothing?
no one can help me?
have you tried contacting sony?? explain to them what happened and ask if theres a way to hard reset the X2.
alternatively try to get it replaced. ive got a feeling that you update at your own risk so maybe contact them and say it died all by itself (dont mention you tried updating the firmware) and see if you can get a replacement. you should be covered by the manufacturers 12month warranty considering theyve only been making them a few months. if you dont have a reciept because it was from ebay or somewhere then say it was a christmas gift. if you do have a reciept then take it back where you got it.
i already did it, but i explain everything how it was, i told him that i was trying to update th soft, and i told him that i bought from ebay, he told me that the xperia has international guaranty, and i can send it to the sony ericsson repair center, but, i leave in dominican republic, so i want to try all that i can, before i send it.
thats good then. i think your best bet is to get the replacement. sounds like you have tried almost everything you can already. plus if you get a replacement you might have one with the upcoming new firmware already on it
yes, but now, i don't have de money for the shipping cost
they make you pay to send it back?? thats a bit unfair. might be your only option though. noone knows how to hard reset the X2 and youve already tried applying the firmware update again. dont think theres much else you can do.
New software update
Great news! Sony-Ericsson said they will be releasing an updated software at the end of this month. I would recommend strongly going to "www-sonyericsson-com-slash-update" instead, which was announced by the Xperia X2 product manager some time ago. If you update your phone with this new official software, I think your problem will go away.
website link?
By the way, how did you get to the seus (updateservice, not the official 'update') site to get the X2 software to download and install? I just tried going there and couldn't find X2 yet.
concerning hard reset try holding the "sym" key while it is powering up.

not sure what you mean... theres an X2 support page on the sony ericsson website. you can download the updater program and it will check your firmware and update it if necessary. the update software is the same for all sony phones so download it anywhere from the site. when you start it up thats where you select the X2.
finally!! i got my phone back, they send me a new one!!
thanks for helping me!
dam, i have the exactly same problem as you dude, my x2 died in a soft update, the thing is : i cant got a new one from SE cause i'm in chile and the was bought in ebay usa, i dont even know where can i send it back cause the man who sold me the phone just dissapear...lol
Hey there guys
I thought I would start up this thread for those of us who have debranded there handsets to post any and all problems we have encountered after debranding so we can discuss them and hopefully find a way to solve one anothers problems.
I'd just like to stress though that this is not a thread for learning how to debrand, if you want to know that Follow these instructions
This is also not a thread for sorting out problems relating to not being able to debrand, there's a thread for that and it's loacated HERE
So with that out of the way, i've noticed that since debranding my clock doesn't stay synchronised with my network anymore which is odd. Anyone else experiencing these problems or any other problems?
Cheers
John
same problem with the clock, although not sure if it was like that before the debrand, its on manual now instead of auto update.
Guys my pc switched off while debranding, now stuck with a X10 which after the initial SE start-up screen only shows an exclamation mark (!) and does not boot or connect to pc companion or the update service anymore. The phone is initially recognized as a SE phone and pc companion instructs you to mount the sd card which is difficult when there is nothing but an X10 and ! image on the screen.
Use SEUS and connect using back button and inserting cable =).
The clock has nothing to do with debranding, at my stock Rom its the same in O2...

Doesn't connect here's what happens
Update Service - Connects after the above method but gives an error for internet connection something about 'unable to download your phone software'.
PC Companion - Shows as detected SE phone and states 'Drag status bar downward, tap usb connected, tap mount....'. However when you can only see an image of the X10 with a triangle with an "!" in it, your left with nothing to drag down or click.
While trying my luck with different combination of hard buttons found one combination (back button, camera button, power button, volume buttons...) which prompts to Installing SE ROM... on the status bar on my pc, tring to figure out which combo did that.
Don't want to take the phone to the local SE dealer even though it's under warranty as the service centre takes between 14 days to a month even on basic problems.
Off-topic does anyone where I can get an original white Xperia X10 housing, my local SE dealer has been posting full page ads for the phone in the local paper but will have no parts available till end May.
Rgds.
Keep trying with SEUS, the problem your having with that is down to there servers, not your phone. If you keep trying you'll eventually get through.
As for the white housing, I know for a fact Ebay has some authentic white housing for about $50 I think and it comes with the necessary toolshed for the job. Fair warning though you will lose you warranty if you open your device up.

Tried over 30 times over 2 days same as above unable to download, I think it has more to do than servers being busy.
The housing is to be handed over to the local SE dealer to fit, as they won't have the housing or any other parts till end of May.
Is there any other way to recover my phone without taking it to the dealer, I bought it on launch date here, reason for debranding was to get Android market with is not allowed in this region by the Telecom Regulatory Authority, so all Android phones for the market have the app missing. We can buy grey market phones (meant for other regions about USD 100 cheaper but no warranty), for a phone which almost cost me USD 850 that did not make much sense.
Full page ads daily in the local papers now for almost a month must cost the dealers quite a lot, wish they invested that kind of money on customer service (by bringing parts for the phone before they launch it). If this was a Nokia, the dealer promises a 2 day service and repair or replacement here, well so much for the warranty.

Weirdly, the timings reflecting in my FB, twitter posts actually synchronised after debranding. Previously, it reflected as weird timings.
For e.g. if I had posted something, instead of showing 0 mins ago, it shows -23hours or 1890mins ago.
After debranding, all the time issues have been resolved.
Guys my pc switched off while debranding.../QUOTE]
Try it, it will work with SEUS. Try the original files from your backup, not the .16 files! Then it shoul update!

Tried with the original files still no luck, SEUS simply tells me I have the latest firmware, is there anything I'm missing - just want to get my phone back out of this limbo state, even if I can't have Android market.

My wife got the X8 today, Got a notification that 2.1 was available, connected to PC and used PC Companion to install, all went fine, said remove cable and turn on which I did but it goes to Sony Ericsson writing, then a brown cloudy screen and reboots.
I tried the update again using SEUS same problem.
So needless to say I am not flavour of the month with my wife considering she never got to use the phone yet.
Any advice?

Hello,
I've been trying all day to unbrick my xperia x8 phone with no success.
This is what succeded:
1) I changed the lcd
2) tried a hard reset with no success
3) tried to update with sony ericsson update software several times, trying different things each time.
4) tried all kinds of different solutions posted on these forums.
These are the problems I'm finding at the moment.
1) When I try to turn the phone on, it blinks between light black and nothing, slowly. No led turns on.
2) I can't mange the phone memory stick files when connected through usb
3) when i take off the battery and plug it usb or to the plug, i see the orange light, indicating that it's charging. But when I try to turn it on, the light never comes up again until I remove the batery again.
4) The only way I updated the phone via sony ericsson software, while holding the c button to detect the phone. But other software can't detect the phone, and the green light goes out very quickly. (unless using sony ericsson update software).
I can't find a solution for this. Would greatly appreciate some help. Thankyou.

If you had searched this forum, you would have found this. Good luck.
Thank you for your reply.
I had tried that before, and tried it again. I still have the same problem.
The Update Service Version i used was the one recommended at Sony Ericsson Support Center website. 2.11.1.9
Any other suggestion?
Thanks in advance

If you used PC companion then I recommend trying the Sony Ericsson Update service. If you already tried that then, try the PC companion. If you tried both and they are not working, then use the flash tool.
Thankyou,
Yes I have tried both.
The flash tool is at sony ericsson's support center?

Flash tool is on this forum,search a little bit.
Ok, I just flashed it using the software version 2.3.
And I'm still in the same scenario.
I do have some questions though.
Should I flash it with the micro sd in?
After flashing it using the software, should it be ready to run?
I flashed the phone using android 1.6.
Thank you.
You flashed versioon 2.3??? From which phone?
Maybe your new LCD is damaged and it can't show anything..
@[email protected]
I believe is a typing error lol
Sorry, it was indeed.
What I meant was, I flashed the phone using the Flashtool version 0.2.3.
Sorry for double posting but, regarding the new lcd.
I bought it on ebay, and, I think it's not damaged. I also think I did not damage the phone changing it, I used specific tools and was very careful.
If it was the screen, the led should at least blink red a couple of times while turning it on shouldn't it?
I haven't notified it, you should insert a withoutPIN-SIM and after a while try to call the phone, if it is on you should ring, otherwhise...
Tried that and nothing.
Anyway of finding out what the problem really is? :s
Because I see that I can flash the phone and update it's firmware with three different softwares.
Sony Ericsson Update Service
Sony Ericsson PC Companion
X10 Flash tool 0.2.3 by Bin4ry
I have another question, can I unplug the cellphone after the firmware flash?
It says so, but the led is still green.
Just trying to find the real problem here :s
Thanks for all the support though.

i read all the post. according to your description it seems to be hardware related problem not software 100%. cauz as you said you can change the firmware. then that mean you really need some pro help. just contact with your lcd supplier and ask help from them. they can help you if you dont want to go to technician..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what I'm thinking, but I don't think it's the lcd.
The old one shows with a crack in it, the new one shows no crack. Both show a blank screen.
Might be something else, trying to find out what :s
Ok, seems that the problem is from the new lcd.
I found this because, when I place the old one, after a while, I see the red led blink a couple of times.
And with the new one, I don't see any of that.
So, it can only be that, in my opinion.
Thanks for everything anyway.
Best regards.
Well i love this phone to say the least so far...unfortunately ive never been able to use the phone...
My friend who i have literally taught everything i know to about phones and computers got this X2 prototype sp2 version phone from someone in his own ways...somehow im quite sure before i got it from him he tried to change the rom on the phone himself because i saw the phone working before he "gave it" to me because it stopped working all of a sudden...
problem is...
i cant reset it...there is no clear memory selection in the rom...AT ALL....
the rom has about half of the programs as a regular 6.1 rom should and it has no SE boot screen anymore, its just a blank white screen on startup and then it goes to the black screen with the rom version and the rest of that data...I cant access the bootloader for numerous reasons and before ANYONE SAYS I SHOULD READ AND SEARCH THE THREADS, lets me first say that he gave me this phone septemember 2010...and i have never been able to access the bootloader since ive gotten it!!!!!
Any suggestions??? the only thing i havent tried yet is to call sony ericson themselves but its about to happen soon!!!!
can i get any help?
i for the first time today put all the roms well almost all of the roms for the en version of one of the roms for the x2 today on my phone hoping for some type of change but to no avail...plus i cant seem to keep the phone charged as everything is on and i cannot access any programs
Did you try to flash the phone using de SE Update Service?
btw, the Xperia X2 aint got WinMob 6.1.
Just visit the SE Page, download SEUS and follow the assistent.
