Xperia Issues. - XPERIA X10 General

hey guys ive been looking for the past 3 days im hoping i can get some help. so my girlfriends brother got a x10 and it got stuck on the sony ericsson screen. he then asked a sony rep what to do, the rep said oh yeah just re flash it. so he tried not really experianced in this sort of stuff. he then i guess tried to flash lol now the phone doesnt do anything it just has that green light on top right. now im used to using the windows roms an such not that experianced with andriod nor this device. so this is why i finally broke in an decided to ask.. lol thanks in advance

I'd just go to Sony Ericsson's website, download the updater and run it. Should reimage the phone back to what it's supposed to be.

tried that. it says phone is up to date

even if it says up to date click on install it will repair the phone.

just gives me the Exit option is there a diffrent tool? other then Seus?

looks like it's stuck on Flash screen. Same thing happens after you remove the battery and re-place?
If so, I suggest you go through the Root process as provided here on XDA. That will load an image for you at least, then you can either 'Keep it rooted' (RECOMMENDED) or just reflash a stock image for X10 (a or i) whichever one you got.

that whole root process i tried that. and everytime i try it fails. i will try again tho. and how do i know what version i have??

It should mention it there where your looking at root. btw we may be able to help if you could tell us the error?

Try using SE PC Companion

Try go to SE website, download the updater *not PC companion*
and go from there.

He already tried the updater. Updater = SEUS.
Now try PC Companion

just out of curiosity anyone able to pull 3g network on AT&T?
and that PC Companion didnt work

it wouldnt let me connect. cuz the phone is stuck in flash mode? im assuming nothing comes on the screen besides an green light top right;

Last i can think of is Omnius. Its a free Sony Ericsson flasher.
When that happened to me I was still able to use SEUS.. Even when it says I already have the latest firmware it still gives me the option to reinstall

omnius is what messed it up to begin with. haha maybe he tried to flash the wrong firmware? im not sure. can you link me to correct way to use omnius?

A quick write up for using Omnius.
Download these files:
Omnius ZIP 1
Omnius ZIP 2
R2BA023 ROOT
Then go to www.omnius-server.com, register, download omnius and activate account.
Connect Data cable to phone only (switched off) and run omnius.
In omnius settings -> server settings enter username and password
In phonetype drop down list select x10
Hit the flash button (looks like lightning)
In the next prompt select R1FA016_APP_SW_RACHAEL_GENERIC_1227_4612_S1_SW_LIVE_AC12_0001_S1_PARTITION.zip as the 1st file and R7A_R1FA016_FSP_X10i_GENERICGLOBAL_GGL_GENERIC_1232_9897_S1_SW_LIVE_AC12_0001_S1_PARTITION_WITH_SPARE.zip as the second file.
Press ok and hold the back button on phone whilst connecting phone to laptop/pc
Wait till its finished flashing.
OPTIONAL:
Boot phone up and go to applications -> tick unknown sources then select development and select debugging mode.
Extract R2BA023-RooT.rar and run step 2 then step 3.
P.S do not restore previous systems settings but its ok to restore phonebook,sms,mms and call log.
Good Luck
Regards

that 2nd file, isnt complete. it wont download as a .zip any place i can go to get the file.

i got the zip working. well this is the deal i tried omnius again an it didnt work. the phone is still stuck in flash mode. i still cant figure out the root process. is there anyway to hard reset from device? i cant seem to find that anywhere to get it out of flash mode.

Try removing the battery for 5 mins re-inserting...then...
Just after you have selected the zip files in Omnius and pressed ok... hold both menu key and back key simultaneously and see if that works.

[Q] Very Odd installed appz after update <BRICKED>

Hoi Hoi people
i got myself a GT540 Optimus <yes total newbeee to android>
It came with a deal for free and its my 1st android :0
anyway
After USING the official way (silly me )to update I now have some odd Portuguese apps installed ? Stuff from SAPO.pt ???
I didn't do any Sync backup as i just got the phone and its basically empty
I used the Updater tool from LG connected and all went well But after I look I was able to change the language to ENG but it has quiet a few Portuguese Apps installed...
I am in Holland so i cannot see how this updater decided to give me a POR image ?
Now i could make a guess and say the IMEI is for Portuguese market(?) and the dutch INTERNET cheapo middleman I got the deal from has bought a bunch on the gray market ..
Whatever it is i don't care
I would like you guys now to point me the right way
I just flash the thing myself
I think the tool i need is called KDZ ?
Please someone point me to the right post I am looking but seem to get nowhere
just more confused
Thanks guys
B.T.W I am not too inept . I am used to flashin me HTC HD all the time ..

Thanks a lot guys
I followed the hints and now my LG is dead ..
LOL
This is rather annoying
1st I get a Crap gray import from 2call
then LG puts a Portuguese update rom on it??WTF!>?
while i choose NETHERLANDS with language english
but nevermind
buy **** buy twice thats life
My 1st and last lg phone ?/
What kind of rubbish is this
u update using the official LG tool and they play a freckin foreign rom onto my LG (SAPO.PT) then I cant update it at all anymore using the tool . So i look for alternatives but thats just made it worse ...
Really really poor this ..
Now ...I followed the guide but it didn't work ..well it did until restarted
My lg is now black. Dead ! doesn't start up at all !
Doesn't start no-matter what i try !
not even emergency mode.
And no guys I read the instruction word for word !!!!
I followed it to the letter !!!!! and the update did work ..Just now it doesn't start at all anymore.
I should of known reading around
there are too many update ways people are doing this ..Hack tool or original KDZ ..or just Black system way ..Too many loopholes for things to go wrong ..but now too late
Hmm...
Try a reflash...
This is a guide I followed from another forum, and posted elsewhere with some minor additions in case anyone had problems.
The guide is from a forum post at the android forums,it is NOT my work, the added bits are mostly what I have found from browsing here and from asking questions. While I can't be held liable if you mess your phone up having done so myself I thought this could helpa few people and save them searching various threads for answers so hope it helps
The guide
To install this ROM you need to have fastboot enabled on your phone. If you have Android 1.6/2.1 installed from LG, then fastboot is not enabled. I will explain how to enable fastboot on your phone (this involves re-flashing/replacing your currently installed firmware):
I am unable to post links yet so you will have to copy and paste the appropriate link into your browser replacing the ** with tt
KDZ Updater Carphone Warehouse Unlocked.zip can be downloaded at h**p://goo.gl/7aRTc - A link to a zip archive with all the files needed to flash to Android version 2.1 with fastboot (Carphone Warehouse Unlocked)
KDZ Updater Europe Open.zip can be downloaded at h**p://goo.gl/BOcYT - A link to a zip archive with all the files needed to flash toAndroid version 2.1 with fastboot (Europe Open)
Download the version that best applies to you, if you live in the UK, I'd recommend you download the Carphone Warehouse Unlocked version, whereas if you live in Europe, I'd recommend the Europe Open version (simple right? )
I live in the UK and used the open rom from Europe as the Carphone Warehouse rom would not install
Now, how to flash these versions; I'll explain in detail how to flash the ROM's from starting with backing up.
Instructions to install ROM with Fastboot:
1. Before you start, make sure you backup all your data by installing the z4root.1.3.0.apk file onto your phone, then open it and choose 'Permanent Root'. Your phone will root and reboot. Then go to the Market and install 'MyBackup Root', open it and do a backup of your apps and personal data (contacts, sms, call log etc.) Once this is done, go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Unmount SD Card, a notification in the notification bar should appear saying 'SD Card safe to remove'. Remove the battery cover and remove the SD card and store it in a safe place. Then continue to step 2.
2. Extract the .zip file you downloaded to your computer (e.g. your desktop). Open the folder and install MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser (msxml.msi).
3. Once that has finished, install LGAndroidDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver1.0_All_Win7.exe which are the drivers so your computer will recognize your phone.
4. Next, open KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
(i) Change 'Type' to '3GQCT' *THIS IS A MUST, THE UPDATE WILL NOT WORK OTHERWISE AND YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE*
(ii) Make sure 'PhoneMode' is set to 'DIAG'
(iii) Browse for the 'V20B_00+Fastboot.kdz' file.
5. Prepare the phone by enabling USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development>Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone to the computer via USB cable and wait for the drivers to install for the phone.
6. Click 'Launch software update' and do not use your computer until the update is complete. The update will take roughly 10-20 mins to complete.
If you have a problem with this try a different rom, this guide offers two to choose from.
Instructions to install CyanogenMod:
Once the update is complete, your phone will reboot, what you need to do is power off the phone and whilst the phone is off, press and hold the 'Camera' button all the way ANDpower on the phone, make sure you hold the 'Camera' button. The phone will display the LG logo and disappear, then display a blank screen. The phone is now in fastboot mode!
Now you want to download this file: Flashing CyanogenMod.zip and extract it to a folder called 'Android' (without the quotes '') on the C: drive (you'll probably need to make this folder yourself.
1. Now open CMD with administrator privileges (Search for CMD in the start menu and right click on 'cmd' and click 'Run as Administrator' )
2. Connect the phone to your computer via USB cable and wait for the necessary drivers to install.
If when connected with a usb cable the computer says "waiting for device" and nothing else happens try installing the fastboot drivers. You can do this by going to the control panel of your pc, from the Windows start menu, opening the list of devices and where you see the one representing your phone (likely, as was the case with me, it will say android and have a yellow exclamation mark over it). Different versions of Windows do things slightly different but what you need to do is simply update the driver by choosing the icons properties box choosing UPDATE or INSTALL DRIVER and when asked pointing it to the folder where you unzipped the drivers.
3. Then go back to the cmd window and type:
Code:
cd C:\Android
(i) Then type:
Code:
fastboot.exe -w
(ii) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe erase system
(iii) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash system system.img
(iv) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
(v) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe reboot
4. Your phone will now reboot with CyanogenMod 6.1.1 (Android 2.2.1). The first boot might take longer than a normal boot.
If your phone stays at a blank screen you simply forgot to do one of the above steps, in which case simply repeat them. It is likely if that happens that you simply forgot the flash boot image instruction.
5. You can now re-insert your SD card and go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Mount SD Card
Enjoy!
The instructions for flashing both the firmware with fastboot and flashing CyanogenMod are included in the zip archives called 'Readme'. I'll update the links so that you'll always have the most up to date version of CyanogenMod available for download, note that if you choose to update your phone you will loose all your data including apps etc. so backup before you update
And that, with a few comments added by myself, is the guide.
Once you have set your phone up the way you want power off your phone. Hold the HOME and POWER buttons down while the LG logo appears and you will see a menu appear on screen.
Using the volume down key to navigate the different menu choices, and the camera button to select an option choose the BACKUP OR RESTORE option and from the sub menu that it will give you choose BACKUP.
This will make a backup of your phone AND all your data, if you ever mess up an update or think you have damaged your phone in the future simply holdthe POWER and HOME buttons down and when the menu appears choose the RESTORE option

Dude
thanks a lot for your lengthy post and effort .I appreciate it .

MY LG doesn't even start anymore after using the Hack tool to upgrade it ...
SO its futile ??
I cant start the phone at all ...
After following yesterdays advice Its dead ..
Great init
Oh dang. Doesn't even turn on? No LG boot logo?
Well...if it's bricked...the only three ways are:
1) Get it repaired/replaced.
2) Buy a new phone.
3) Use it as a paperweight.
=)
No my friend ..its DEAD !!!!
following the guide to the letter
Installed parser got the hack tool
run all as admin and made sure I started windows enabler
All the things in the guide
worked a charm until reboot
Not its black and dead!!!

Have you tried this...
If you did it with kdz updater than:
pull out battery, sim and sd
connect phone with computer
disable lg modem in the device manager
flash a rom with fastboot
go in fastboot by camara+power
connect to computer
type 'fastboot -w' and 'fastboot reboot' in cmd

brother,
it will be awkward to ask too much but i really dont get u.
im fresher here,
so wud u go easy on me,/?pls
Ok, first if you havent already, and I can almost guess you haven't you need to download PC Companion and Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) to your computer.
Once you do that, turn your phone off, and run SEUS. Follow the steps and select your phone when given the option. After you select your phone, it will tell you to plug your phone into your computer in flash mode, basically just hold the "back" button on your phone until SEUS tells you to release it. If you have a new upgrade available then feel free to do so,..if you already have the latest software then in the bottom right corner you will see an option that says "install" click on it and proceed. It will reflash your phone for you and should be ready to go once done.
Good luck
i did just as you said , but i there is no "install" option at the last step
pls help

Where can I find X8 stock ROM with GUI?

Guys, my wife's X8 just got busted..
touchscreen is gone.. display is still there but not responding to touch anymore.
(I did everything I can.. so confirmed it's a hardware issue).
I've flashed this to a custom ROM.
How can I flash this back to stock 1.6? Along with the SE GUI?
I ran search on forum and found I need to download SE PC Companion, or SEUS.. will that do the trick? I need confirmation because my internet connection at home is quite slow, and I need to send this back for warranty ASAP.
Thanks all.
Yeah, download SEUS, select repair and it will install stock 2.1
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
Thanks Godra..
However I found this from SE Website..
How to use
1. On the computer: Start PC Companion.
2. Connect the USB cable to your computer and then to the phone..
3. On the phone: Select the "Connect your phone" option.
4. Wait for the phone to connect.
5. On the computer: From the Dashboard, select the applications to start different services and get information.
----
Issue is the touchscreen is busted, so I can't select the "Connect your phone" option.
Any other flashing method to get back to stock without them noticing that I've modded?
use the Flashtool.
You´ll have the choice beetween different 1.6 and 2.1 ROMs, and you just need to putn your phone into flashmode for this, so you don´t have to touch the screen.
You can try x10 flashtool. I would post you a link to the thread but im currently on my x8 so you ll have to use search...
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
Thanks codfreak and Godra.. I'll try first and see how it goes.
Appreciate your help. God bless!
Dear all, I found out that I've made a nandroid backup of the original stock ROM and saved it on my computer hard disk (see.. always do a nandroid backup!)
Anyway, I have xRecovery installed on the phone.. how do I uninstall it?
Flash with SEUS. You need first to turn OFF your phone (better to pull out battery). Run SEUS, choose your phone, next.
When SEUS asks, put your battery in while pressing back button. It will restore original Eclair.
unfortunately after using Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0, the app is unable to detect my phone.
Upon connect via USB, it asked me to do something to the phone.. which require touchscreen interaction before it could identify..

You are not trying SEUS?
I think there is no need to touch anything on phone because SEUS is needed your phone to turn off.
wc_how, yeah I didn't use SEUS.. hehe..
Oh well, I sent the phone after nandroid restore.. stock ROM.. as it is..
At the service center, one lady tested my phone.. checked the hardwares.. all appears ok, no sign of drop.. while I explained about the touchscreen issue..
All of a sudden she enters xRecovery before I knew it.. and she was greeted by this smirking Android face...
She paused, take a look at me... I smiled...
She turned the phone off and said "Ok, we're going to replace the touchscreen for you, please sign here - here's your reference number, we will call you - or you can call us when the device is ready"
And I was off.. hehehe
Your lucky then, enjoy

If you are trying to get into recovery, it's volume up, power and the home button.
Volume down, power and the home button gives you download mode, so it's normal for it to say "downloading" for hours.
try the file xsenman posted. Put your phone in download mode, open Odin, choose the file under PDA, plug in your phone
(make sure you have the Samsung USB drivers installed) and that the ID:COM box is lit, then flash.
Once it is finished, download Busybox and Superuser from Google Play and you are rooted.
By the way, KG3 is a very difficult ROM to get a rooted kernel for.
Ian
I'll try that....
Thhank you very much... I do hope that it works. I am taking a couple days break from it all. spend 9 hrs yesterday trying to simply diagnose, and for some one whom knows nothing about system programs, or tech access points for the phone I think I have done well for a newbie.
So far all I have been able to do is fix every lag in the phone. lol. thank you for the File link and for the walk through

Ian,
How do I insure my "Samsung USB drivers" are installed?
Can you please further explain what you mean by "ID:com box is lit"
Thank you
Re
Samsung drivers are installed together with Samsung Kies. If you already have Kies installed on your computer and it connected successfully at least once before then you have the right drivers.
Now, when flashing anything onto your phone the Kies application must not be running. Make sure you stop it (e.g: by stopping any Kies service from Windows Services).
"ID:COM box is lit" means one of the upper boxes in Odin turns green.
The steps are:
1. Start Odin on your computer and select the PDA and CSC files (you should find more details about what files to flash in other posts)
2. Start your phone in Download mode : Vol. Down + Home + Power until you see Downloadin
3. Connect the USB cable to your phone.
If none of the boxes turn green in Odin you should try different USB ports on your computer. One of them will eventually work.

AND REMEMBER THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT,
2. Open online update tool from ur directory only, from c:/program files x86/OST only, donot start it from any shortcut created on desktop or from start menu, just start it from its original directory,
if it still gives error about microsoft error warning, try fresh replacing ur online update tool again from the zip
And start the program from there only, once it successfully started
3. Click next, then choose the firmware mena, that is
PLE-3320-0-00WW-A02.nb0 file your one could be CNxxxx) and put ur phone into bootloader,

7. Replace it again with online updating tool and the start it from the directory
8. Now Click next, then choose the firmware mena, that is
PLE-3320-0-00WW-A02.nb0 ( your one could be CNxxxx) file and put ur phone into bootloader
Same as above i told once to goto the bootloader by connecting phone and keep holding power button untin it get rebooted and release the power button just after the phone turns off and before it get rebooted.
9. Now it should be connected and click next this time your phone will get flashed successfully...if it give error again, then try one more time u will be successfully installed the mena firmware
I know its a long procedure but it will help you
If you can reboot to 9008 mod then tell me about that
I will give u another instructions for that
But first try the above method

Happy flashing

Listen
Download the mena firmware, and then press and hold power button and volume down button it will force reboot your device, then your phone may get rebooted and go on black screen

Install OST tool
Now
1. Open ur directory, c:/program files x86/OST and replace the online update tool from there and delete the config file,
AND REMEMBER THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT,
2. Open online update tool from ur directory only, from c:/program files x86/OST only, donot start it from any shortcut created on desktop or from start menu, just start it from its original directory,
if it still gives error about microsoft error warning, try fresh replacing ur online update tool again from the zip
And start the program from there only, once it successfully started
3. Click next, then choose the firmware mena, that is
PLE-3320-0-00WW-A02.nb0 file your one could be CNxxxx) and put ur phone into bootloader,
For now what you need to do is connect your phone and keep holding your power button for a while till it switches off your device and leave the button once if it turned of before it get rebooted
It should automatically take you to boot loader or else try this step for 1-2 time again you will surely rebooted to bootloader
Once it boot to bootloader

4. Follow all the same steps again
5. Start the tool again
The tool will surely give u error for Microsoft.net
Dont panic
Close it and replace the online update tool again
6. Remember no matter if u replace the file before error, it will give error for one time surely
7. Replace it again with online updating tool and the start it from the directory
8. Now Click next, then choose the firmware mena, that is
PLE-3320-0-00WW-A02.nb0 ( your one could be CNxxxx) file and put ur phone into bootloader

Look every step is written, your phone will be recognised once you start ost tool
When u start the tool the ost will ask you to browse the firmware file with .nb0 extension
Then it will ask you to connect the phone
Now connect your phone
Then keep holding volume down and power button together, once your phone get turned off then it will show u that its been booted into bootloader or download mode, click next on ost tool and it will start flashing your device
Thats all

man i just discovered that in twrp's file manager the /system folder only contains a "bin" file, everything in the /system file has been erased, i suppose i only have to get a fresh system file ? and i found out that my phone is recognizing the pc normally now ! so where can i find this fresh system file ?

In twrp you can goto to power option and select download mode or bootloader
Thats all
With download mode you can simply flash your phone using OST tool

Yes it will but your user data wont be deleted
And you can apply update through OTA with stock recovery menu
And also you will get the oreo update if you do so

hi, i can't flash or update anything because i rooted my phone and making update will brick my phone : "10.After your phone rooted, you can reboot your phone. DO NOT INSTALL ANY OTA UPDATES OR YOUR PHONE WILL GET STUCK AT STOCK RECOVERY (However I've never tested Magisk on Nokia 6), but I’ll recommend you to disable automatic update in settings."

Man are you listening or what...
M again telling you follow all steps care fully
When OST tool will ask you to connect your phone then goto recovery mode in your phone and select power option and then select bootloader
When it will be booted to download mode connect your phone to pc and then select next button on OST tool into your pc
Flashing your phone will unroot your phone
Thats all it will start flashing and then you can install all the OTA with stock recovery
If you stuck on any step follow the steps for OST tool that i provided you earlier in this thread
And for OTA you can goto this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/guide-oreo-follow-steps-t3723776
