I've recently bricked my phone and it boots to the yellow exclamation of death, im subject to a monthly qouta by my ISP, so i cant download the flash tool(over 200 mbs), first of all i tried companion, i keep getting "download error please check your internet connection" i tried over 30 times but no luck......then tried SEUS, all i get in the end is "Your software is upto date" and ONLY the exit button (other ppl report that they do have a re-install button or restore to factory default button, i have none, is there a way to activate them?)........what should i do?
Edit: Pc companion's repair function used to worked before and i used it to unbrick my x10 a week ago
The reason you get the dowload error is because you flashed an X10i rom on your X10a. Use step 5 in the longer root method to flash an X10a rom and the dowload will work again.

i have an x10i, i am running the stock over the air upgrade, i never flashed any roms on it(upgraded the phone when i got it from companion from the SE servers), i did the 5second root method and the way i bricked it was i used the LCD density changer without busybox
just to clear something out, i got my phone unlocked from an independent store for ~$500, so im running STOCK fw 26, it has never been flashed by any rom, and the brick happened with when i tryed using the LCD density changer but didnt have busybox installed
Ok, you should still be able to us step 5 in the newbie guide to rooting thread.

I have received my replacement x10 and found it was on 1. 6 (refurbished) so I updated, then rooted using flashtool installed launcher pro plus then cleaned the phone using flashtool, also installed mt and updated to bb .58 now if I put any sort of load on the phone it has a hissy fit and reboots a few times, on some occasions I had to remove the batt to stop it, and by load I mean downloading three apps or watching a movie or even trying to use ringdroid to name but a few instances. Have I rooted it wrong? Or would restoring apps from titanium backup cause a problem. Also even though I installed it xrecovery is not on it.

What firmware did you flash? Should be 2.1.A.0.435 or newer. That will give you dualtouch implementation in the update.
Newer baseband does not always mean better. Check what is working best for your region.
Run "repair software" via SEUS or PC Companion. Then use flash tool 0.2.9.1 to root, optimise (enable JIT) and install xRecovery.
xRecovery is not an app that will show up in app tray. Have to reboot, and when Sony Ericsson appears start tapping back button to access xRecovery menu.
Here's a step by step guide for updating from 1.6. It's based on X10a, so just use X10i ftf firmware with the flash tool.....

I would recommend not to use gingerbreak, as I had loads of problems, I don't know wether it was a one off, but I experienced the following....
When opening camera I would just get a black screen, and the device would just freeze up. I would hav to reboot the device
My lock security option became disabled!! Couldn't set a lock pattern, pin etc...
And.... Pc companion wouldnt recognise my device!
Has anybody else had problems!??
try this if it helps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047484
I managed to do a restore via seus, just wanted to warn others
I've just been trying to connect to my PC via USB for either ADB or Fastboot and neither are working.. It was fine when I rooted with fastboot and flashed bin4ry's method.. then I was trying something so I reflashed a stock ROM then rooted with gingerbreak.. now the PC doesn't recognise it at all..
[EDIT - Forgot to mention - the reason I was trying to connect my phone was because since I gingerbroke my phone the battery consumption has been shocking too.. so I wanted to start from scratch! and go back to Bin4ry's rooted ROM. ]
What version of gingerbreak did you guy's use?
Would it matter what version to use?
I have rooted with gingerbreak some time ago and do have none of the problems above.
I did it with version 1.1 of gingerbreak
Root with the gingerbreak method is the best option right now, that way you will still have warranty for your device.

i used 1.2 version.
i dont no wether to try gingerbreak again, just to comfirm these problem or wether i accidentally uninstalled something with titanium!??
you don't lose your warranty by unlocking the BL.. you only lose your warranty by bricking your phone with a dodgy custom kernal.
Nope, I did not have any of the problems you are having. Mine works flawlessly!
Rooted with Gingerbreak 1.2, and I have no problems as desribed by Gibbo or iceman.
I can see my device in adb as well as do shell command on it. I haven't tried stock camera app again since I know it drains battery really bad; But I don't have problem whatsoever taking pictures with Vignette.
Rooted with 1.1 and no problems at all
Just know what you delete and what you allow

Hi guys ,
I have rooted my xperia arc with gingerbreak 1.2 it's running good but for example quickboot run perfectly but titanium backup dont recognizes the root right :/ I dont understand that .
Have you installed busybox ?
Rooted with 1.2， no issues at all .
Sent from my MT15i using XDA App
yeah ! Sorry but ultimately i have solved my problem ! I'm a little stupid at times , i have forgot to install busy box ...
Now my xperia arc is perfectly rooted thank's all .
ive had the black screen issues but everytime its been due to low memory. But I had this before rooting. By using gingerbreak I can now use autostarts and I have far less issues

Try a fresh download of the ftf firmware, and make sure that your battery is fully charged.

I m on tripnmiui latest version n locked bl . I was thinking of trying a different rom but I just found out that my xrecovery isn't working. Pressing back several times or installing the dooms app did not help. I don't understand what has gone wrong. If any1 has an idea it'll be greatly appreciated.

Happened to me before on trips roms, and I was like"WTF!!!" who knows what he did to it when he changed xRecovery into his on TripNMIUI. Now he's gone for good. Never trusted his work.
You can try flashtool 0.2.91 GB ready and install xRecovery there. Connect your phone and ask Root permissions, grant access and install xRecovery.

you have to charge battery. so first, try to charge it with a wall plug, not USB. Then, if you cannot, try charging your battery somewhere, a friend or a GSM service. Then with phone switched off, follow the instruction and flash ROM again by SEUS.
And then, use x8toolbox from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100
but please read first page carefully and follow instructions. So that it does not happen again.
Battery is fully charged now, What should I do next?
I cant flash rom by SEUS because when I connect device to pc cant recognized..
Use flashtool

Besides Sony Ericsson PC Companion, you have installed in computer Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) right?
if not, go to official page and download / install it .
and follow the steps. from what you are saying, I see that either you do not have SEUS or you do not have the corect drivers installed .
You can search on this forum as well, you may find numerous links.
