I have bought an Xperia X10 from Ebay and now get stuck on start screen shows me the start-up animation continous.What i can do my Pc sees my Xperia like Xperia X4 instead of X10 and doesn't find any driver.
Any help?
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried a reset?
u Sure its a original and not a chinese copy?
first off i find it interesting that you joined jan 2008 and THIS is your first post!
if you've been here since then you'd probably have noticed by now that most people include as much information as possible when posting if they want their question answered.
And.. not to mention you probably noticed each forum has subforums with different categories.. like the one for GENERAL? I don't see Android DEVELOPMENT having anything to do with your phone not starting.
let's start over.
A. what version of the phone did you buy? unlocked?
B. what carrier are you using it on?
C. is there a SIM or a microSD in the device when you are attempting to boot it up?
D. What version of windows are you trying to connect your device to?
we might have a better understanding of what's going on if you could answer these questions for us.
Killerskincanoe i use my acount only for tutorials,downloading applications and roms and till now i didn't have any problems with my phones.
I bought the phone from Ebay unlocked and i used with Vodafone but worked fine with Orange..etc.
My phone is Prototype Ap1 and my Pc sees it like Xperia X4 but the phone is 100% Xperia X10 because i used few weeks and everything worked right.
I tried to boot it up with/without sim or card and nothing changes.
I'm using Windows7 64.
Krabman i don't know the combinations of buttons to try an hard reset and i can't install the driver.
Sorry for my english.
Any help will be apreciated.
I would contact SE to get the button combo for the reset as its not in the manual which only shows the menu path. You did pull the battery and let it set for a few minutes before putting it back in right?
Hi. (Hai noroc.. )You can try the following. Go to the official sony ericsson website, and download UPDATE SERVICE. Start it, then follow these steps:
-Remove and re-insert the battery (make sure it's more than half)
-Press the back (<-) button while connecting the phone to your PC (keep pressing untill further notice)
-Usually after the phone has been correctly recognised, it will let you know.
Even if it's a prototype it should work and update the SW.
My only concern is.. How the hell did you manage to buy an acceptance unit online?!..
And more.. WHY did you get it? It's a known fact that prototypes are the most unstable..
Anyway.. if the update service doesn't work.. It's most probable that is a very early proto, or a chinese replica like reb0rn said.
any news on this problem i have a non proto that hangs on activating screen also

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.

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.

Hi Everyone,
I searched and read many threads but didn't see my problem listed. I apologize if it has and I missed it. I received a Kindle Fire for Christmas yesterday. I plugged it in and let it reach a full charge. I then went through the registration steps. Upon completing registration, it automatically went to an updating screen. I left it alone to finish updating. After returning over an hour later I find it stuck on the "kindle fire" black screen. I've tried many hard resets but it always boots to the same black screen.
As I mentioned, it was brand new and I did not attempt to do any rooting or custom installs. If I plug it into my computer, Windows XP recognizes a device but does not having any drivers to install for it. Is there anything I can do to unbrick it?
Thank you in advance.
if u didnt install any roms like cm7 or havent even rooted it yet then its probably a hardware prob.. Try holding down power for like 20 secsand see what happens
Thanks for the suggestion movieaddict, but I've tried that many times now and it still just brings up the kindle fire screen.
Not as helpful as I would like a post to be, but I've had it freeze on that screen a few times as well and a hardware reset has always fixed it. If you have not rooted or done anytthing to void your warranty I see no reason to not contact amazon customer support as it is their problem to fix and hopefully they can, or get you a new one in a hurry. Good Luck, I know this is frustrating, my first one had a flickering line on the lcd and had to be rma'd.

Thanks Kapurnicus. I've already placed a called to Amazon and they are sending a new one and it should arrive later this week. I just thought I could play around and possibly fix this one in the meantime.
I don't blame you. Might as well try. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, mine is still stock lol. I only screw with the phone for now. Just have a new launcher and some streaming apps on the kindle, although, I still love it. Haven't put it down in days. Its going to be your best friend lol.

Hello Guys,
I am posting this thread with a great deal of frustration and of course i'll try to leave the emotions out of this, although it's pretty hard (since that's NOT how i imagined i'll unbox the OPT which i was waiting for, for so long).
Anyways,
I'll cut to the point, I received my OPT package and happily went a head opened the box (hoped not to get a broken phone or anything (like someone who posted a thread here), and indeed the package looked okay and the device looked good (physically speaking).
I started the phone, and i can see the black background white android logo, and then.. Black Screen... I'm telling myself "Ahh that's probably nothing.. let's wait a bit or worse case another restart" waiting didn't help and as you probably know restarts did not help as well.
Okay, since i am not newbie to the android troubleshooting, i said to myself, probably a bad OS boot or some sort of OS issue, let's enter the RECOVERY to reset / wipe / factory reset.
Volume Down + Power Button, can't enter recovery just a Black Screen showing.
Starting the phone again regularly shows the Black Screen but the buttons are glowing blue and if i click on the volume buttons i can hear the sound tick.
Okay, at that point i was getting a bit worried, no recovery, several reboots and Black Screen when going to recovery or normal mode.
So now, i knew i had to go over and search the forums (XDA | One Plus) for more solutions on soft bricked / hard bricked devices.
I found the restoration thread of:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/oneplus-solution-hard-bricked-device-t3183449
Including the QualCom driver method and 2 FULL restoration kits (1 Hidro OS 1 Oxygen).
I followed the steps (trying first the lighter Hidro Kit (without .img's of system etc') finished the process but when it should logon to recovery SAME result.
Then i went ahead and tried the OxygenOS recovery kit, same procedure it finished, phone restarting but same Black Screen.
This is where i am at right now, very frustrated, i raised a TT to the one plus support, i will update how it goes, i assume i passed most of the troubleshooting phases but if anyone has ANY ideas on how to proceed or assist i would be glad to try it out.
In addition i will use this stage to also update on the OnePlus support (refund wise, and TT dealing wise) as i think it's also important to report on the support when actual problems occur and how they handle it.
In any case guys, thanks for reading this, i really hope you will receive your products WORKING as they should, there's not much worse things when it comes to getting a NEW device starting it for the first time and not being able to use it, after waiting for so long for it.

Small Update: I just wish you all to never wait for the OP customer service / technical support. (waiting time is really outrageous for a company which support customers online).
In addition, the technical support team sent me files to download (while i'm explaining her that i tried all of those already) + sending me ROM for OPO (Cyanogen........)
I was in a kind of a shock, while i'm correcting her and telling her there's no CM for OPT and the files she sent me (CM11s?!) are not the correct ones, she sent another mail.
Anyways, i guess you have to go for that "entire process" until they allow you to get a refund.
Hate to type it, but for me it's probably "Never Again" instead of "Never Settle".
CS is the same for most companies, someone in a call centre with little knowledge and a book of instructions to follow. There's no point you saying "I did this already" because they get in trouble if they don't follow the script they have.
I have got the black screen of death too and im a couple of mot=nths into using it

So the phone should be responsive even if you cant see the screen. SOOO forget letting it drain, but instead, connect it to pc and install latest twrp. Or crm. Unlocking the bootloader may be difficult as you have to use the power and volume buttons to choose yes or no but i think it starts on yes so just press the power button. Now copy over any rom and gapps (i used exodus and lollipop gapps). Flash them and the phone will boot up surprisingly quickly. This will hopefully stop you from wasting time with support teams that are already overloaded with queries. I hope this helped
I have the same problem I dont know what to do! please someone help !
This is really old news, I'll just add that I've sent the device back and got my money back,rocking a new lg v10 and happy a hell.
