Hey guys, tried searching, but didn't get me anywhere.
So I rooted my xperia x10i with the universal android root 1.6.2 beta 5 (i think), it worked well.
Then I downloaded titanium backup and uninstalled an app there (not system file, it was shapewriter app).
After that, I tried out the denser LCD Brightness density 3.0 app, I set it to 200 (current was 240), it asked for a soft reset, I agreed.. But when it came back on, nightmare occured.
The Sony Ericsson logo shows, after about 15 seconds it instantly pops into this black image of my xperia x10 and a warning sign. Won't do anything after that. I tried repairing it in SE PC companion, but everytime it tells me to hold back while shoving in the usb plug, it won't download a repair file it wants. Tells me I don't have a working internet connection, even though I am writing this as we speak.
Is my phone bricked?
Thanks for all help.
first of all, it is an LCD density changer(resolution) not an LCD brightness changer, i had ur exact same problem as i used that application without having busybox and su installed, and got the yellow exclamation of death after the reboot
go to the newbie rooting guide in the android development forum and do the 5th step(u need to start from the begining of u dont have the files needed), then after u finish it, ur x10 should boot generic 16, just use pc companion or SEUS to update to os 26
You can also use the flash unbrick tool in the decrypted rom thread. With a bit of tinkering u can flash straight to 026.
Btw don't worry if that pops up. It means u messed something up but its repairable. I have done that to my x10 so many times I created a custom image when it happens so I can at least have a laugh before I reflash.

My bad! What a nice way to show everyone I'm a total moron the first day at school.
I'll try the first advice with all those steps first, here's hoping I'll learn some more when rooting the proper way instead of just clicking a button on an app!
Thanks for the advices, and your comforting words, gavriel18 (I was literally stressed out a few minutes ago). I see this forum's fast at responding! I'll let you know the heads up later on when it's done. Thanks again.
No worries buddy, the first time I got that I was scared s****less that i busted my phone in the first week.
And u don't look like a moron, we all start as noobs.
Keep us posted

How about you tell everyone what you are trying to do, and what you are typing in command prompt.
Android Debug Bridge....
Do you have Samsung drivers installed/setup?
Take a nice deep breath and do one learning step at a time. Android has a lot to teach. I would also encourage learning the phone use basics, reading up on things before attempting any mods. Welcome to android family.

lol ... well i already opened another thread about how to put hebrew fonts on the phone to support hebrew instead of seing empty boxes on facebooks and websites and what not... my phone Was rooted, Was voodooed but there was force closing on things and market stopped working so i completely stocked the phone, only thing that doesnt work now is my phone memory which is on 0.00 which i read and you apparently have to root the phone all over again
so right now... the phone memory is my only issue, i guess i can live without hebrew if its too much of a hassle to install while rooted::
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480964
i have no idea how to work this^^^
i have the drivers installed like i said, i was able to odin, root, and voodoo, clockwork as well ofcourse. now phone is completely stock except for that memory issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804457&highlight=phone+memory
completely got lost in this thread... so yeah, those are my problems with the phone at the moment. i wont mention the obvious of gps etc.
another awesome issue, everytime my phone is turned off and back on, it starts that set up process all over again... language; facebook; google... etc... why?
Once you install adb on your computer you have to go to change the path on your computer to point to that folder. Or you can change your directory to the one that holds the adb file from within the command prompt. This should allow you to run the commands.
The issue you are having with the memory on your phone is because voodoo did not completely uninstall. You can fix this by running the steps in this forum to uninstall voodoo. Don't try the one step zip, you are going to have to do the three step manual method to make this work. Don't forget the final step to wipe data.
Once this is done voodoo will be gone, memory should be back, and phone should stop resetting on every boot.
Obviously you aren't the only one to ever have these issues. But you can recover.
Good luck.

No intro
Here is what I did:
Wanted to flash new ROM, [ROM] Super Clean DI01 + AOSP apps, (Thanks to everyone who worked on it AND everyone on this forum cause Ive spent the past week reading the threads and felt confident enough in the info and the support to try).
BUT
when trying to download with ODIN (not certain if this was the right method, too late now) found that it did not work, couldnt see file when looking in the PDA browse.
STUPIDLY disconnected phone from computer while in DOWNLOAD MODE. You know, when the screen says "DONT DISCONNECT FROM TARGET". Apparently, the rebus string for "you dun f*cked up" is a phone symbol... a yellow triangle w/!...computer symbol.
What do I do to get back to fun?
Tried reboot, tried CWR reboot, tried Nandroid restore w/reboot still the YDFU symbol
*EDIT* I continued searching while awaiting a response and found this thread: Stuck on connection warning screen. This got me out of the YDFU screen into a nice force loop. Since I am not a -complete noob- I pulled a nandroid backup outta my hat and ...tada back to good, now to the fun!
well first of all thanks for your help in advance.
I had a good x10 and decided to sell it and buy a new one because mine is already a bit scratched and other things the former was a X10A and now I have an X10 if that matters somehow.
good considering the x10 in hand I decided to update it first modific to 2.1 with good first non-tariff flashtool restarted. do it again and go for a while whether the network data set, each time an application instalava stuck and restarted.
after that does not solve the problem only 2g sailing. to make root was another problem with me probelam flastool was a play. remove the battery and leave it outside for a while. then again in the place lit if root root but the best was with superclickone.
then install the recovery well to try to install a different rom.
1.7 of laversion install it in my previous trip Experia worked perfectly.
and reboot several times but the biggest mistake was that he recognized me in any froyo memory told me that was not there I thought that was the only rom that fallava but try other froyo and I recon all the phone memory.
the formative and other things and not do anything.
I hope you can help me thanks.
well first of all thank you all for your time
baseband good use the 49 is the one used in the above and it worked well but you're right, maybe because it was for America proves with another 67 or more.
well that was installed with the Sony Ericsson flashtool X10i_2.1.1.A.0.6_CUST GENERIC-TH 1237-0336
root and then install other froyo over several people and doing the problem is restarted as long as I showed the worst memory.
rom froyo good at baseband always use 49 did not try other that could have caused this problem but I do not recognize the memory in the rom do not understand.
But the most curious .. I can restart the telefonoy xrecovery enter a bone having a rom froyo I recognize the memory but when it does not appear but entered the xrecovery if I have it and I can see all of it I install anything but get nothing.
Also if you want to install a backup does not work xrecovery entered the xrecovery give restore Begins choose the copy and paste to work then restarts and I lose everything because the phone does not come over and touch me again with the flashtool.
to light in the rom 2.1 if you recognize me in rom memory but I do not like froyo recognize the memory but still recognize it when I enter the xrecovery and I can see what is memory and install things that are in but when I restart it and entered into the system memory does not recognize me tells me no memory mounted.
thanks for everything
thanks to those who saw this. but I see that nobody has any idea what happens to my x10 was hoping that at xda have some idea but I do not know what happens.
thanks anyway.

X10i on gingerbread 2.3.4
I was unable to get root access for my Galaxy S for about 1 week, and today I finally could do it. Unfortunately, I rushed to try all of the apps I downloaded before that need root access, one of which was supposed to change the battery icon's (that in the upper tray) appearance. When I clicked on that, the mobile rebooted and kept giving again and again the (Samsung GT-I9000 Galaxy S) screen without proceeding to operation. What made it worse, as I think, is that because I was afraid and very concerned, I tried to do anything and so I entered into recovery mode and kept pressing on things I don't remember exactly but what I do is that I think I unmounted the SD. It's urgent; any1 plz try to help me as soon as possible.

Simply put the phone in download mode and flash the same firmware. The app you used probably caused the bootloop, likely because it wasn't made for your phone/firmware.
Next time, read and learn about it before you do it. And also, just some advice, before you do ANYTHING that will potentially cause your phone to bootloop or no longer work, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS do a nandroid backup (which can be done in recovery mode). That way, if it messes up your phone, you can simply restore the backup and be right back where you left off.
Good luck!
Thnx for ur concern and advices. I already did that the day after I posted; I discovered another thread on the forum and followed the instructions, and yeah sure I won't rush in these things again .
This kind of this happens all the time when we began in the flash world ajajaj
Don't worry this is the way everyone learns.
Hi Everyone, noob here.
I cant remember the exact procedure that i took, but i rooted my phone, and used x-restore to load floyo onto my x8, i did not really like it and wanted to try a newer version of cyanogenmod -7.1 and i had to flash custom Kernel on.. anyway - i tried flash tool and it said restart your phone and under app settings check the box for allow unrecognized or unsupported files or something like that - sorry i don't recall what it was exactly.. this is my first time doing this. it failed again, so disconnected my phone and just restored floyo and decided i was going to be happy with it.. i had tried to use the plugin to unlock the bootloader after testing it to make sure it could be done.. as the forum said.. and all looked good. but i forgot to close flashtools when i was done trying.. i restored floyo and and then made the mistake of plugging the phone in while flashtool was still on and looking for the phone.. the next thing i see a message pop up saying bootloader unlocked successfully or something similar.. restarting phone.. then my phone restarted and it did something else.. i waited for it to Finnish and then my phone went off..
Now it wont come on at all, no LED, nothing.. The phone is one week old.. i fully charged the battery last night so its not the batter i have Hard Bricked it.. and im freaking out..
I am a computer tech that has never failed to fix any computer problem and have repaired thousands.. i have experience in electrical work and have built tonnes of gadgets like small amps etc... but when it comes to this.. i am a complete Noob and i accept that.. ive screwed up and all i can do is ask for help..
i read through tonnes of forums but none seem to match my case so i thought it ok to ask for help.
What can i do, other than own a $300 paper weight.
Just restore with SEUS or PC companion and install something good like Semc Debrand Engine
I'm sorry to tell u that
u have to go to SEMC to repair it
unless u unbricked it by PCC or SESU
as if u want to fix it u'll pay 100$ or above to fix it
Hey man,
im sorry for what happened to your phone.

The symptom you describe there is a HARD BRICK. No LED, no display, no vibration, no nothing means it's DEAD - HARD BRICKED.
There's nothing you can do yourself other than to send it to Sony Ericsson for repair.
Since you said "Zimbabwe" I doubt you have repair shops with the required equipment and technicians to try a JTAG restore.
So I'd say your only option left is to send it off to SE - and once you get it back you better don't mess around with it if the $300 you mentioned means US Dollar (insane price).
EDIT: And the mistake you made ... you somehow made Flashtool to unlock your boot loader on a device that's most likely past a manufacturing date of 11W29. This kills the phone and you simply can't repair it yourself anymore ... see the Hard brick warning - read before boot loader unlock sticky in the X8 General board. There are several posts clearly telling you that everyone who managed to hard brick the phone sent it off to SE as there's simply no "fix it yourself" method available.
Hey guys, i cant do any of those suggestions because my phone is not coming on at all ... is there anything else i can do ? anyone ?

Hello all,
My friend just gave me his Verizon Sony Xperia Play to root, no big deal. Read you have to downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3... download flash tool. Try to flash r800.ftf firmware a few times.. never works. Then, I tried to boot it up and it just shows the Sony Ericsson logo then, white triangle with orange exclamation point. PLEASE help, I don't know what to do I think it is bricked.
-thanks
PLEASE!? Does someone know how to help? I am freaking out right now.
Don't know why flashtool wouldn't work. If I were you, id try repairing with Sony PC Companion.
Code:
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
Install it. Navigate: Support Zone > Phone Software Update > Repair phone
You would likely get more replies if this was posted this in Q&A section.
Also, try being more clear when asking a question. "firmware a few times.. never works." what does never works mean to someone reading this? it could mean any number of things. Why didn't it work, did you get some sort of an error message?

Well I ran the 2.3.3 .ftf file again for like the 13th time and this time it worked. It booted normally and is now running 2.3.3. Unfortunately it is extremely buggy and force closes apps a lot. So now is the time when I 'repair' It with the PC Companion I think. Thank you very much for your help! :highfive:

No problem. Glad to hear you got it working again
FYI. Depending on the firmware it restores to, you can use DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su method to root GB 2.3.4. It can't root the absolute latest version (I think .62) which already patched the exploit, but mine always repairs to 4.0.2.A.0.42 and that roots just fine.
