Greetings fellas,
I'm having big problems with my SE Xperia X10. After installing some Apps the phone got stuck and is unable to boot up - all I can see is a nice SE logo. Good Job Sony so far! Well lucky we have an update service that provides us with the newest firmware updates - oh wait, it just told me I do have the latest version - goodbye.
There is no f*cking option to re-install? Are you kidding me? WTF is wrong with guys over Sony F*ckinson? I don't have any option to visit a service provider as I'm not in the country where I have purchased the phone. So I decided to give it a shot and called the hotline - just to get some f*cktard telling me I should visit a local service point. After I told him that my f*cking service point is almost 4000 miles away from ma' current location he said I'd have to wait for a firmware update then.
Seriously f*ck this. What is wrong with this company? No hard reset available? Jesus f*cking christ. Is there ANY chance to get this phone back to live? Or do I have to buy a decent phone because Japanese Swedish Whateverdaf*cktards are unable to provide me with decent support.
This is so weird.

boot into the safe mode, uninstall ur apps or do a full factory reset...
shld work..
to boot into safe mode
Turn the phone off
Power the phone back on
When it vibrates, press and hold the left menu button until it boots up and says SAFE MODE in the bottom left corner of the screen
repair the phone by running pc companion
tnx fellas will try that! excuse my language, kinda pissed off.
PC companion does not recognize my phone, no matter what I do.
Safe Mode does'nt work, it wont boot.
FFS I just wanna re-install the current firmware, is it so hard Sony Tardisson?
when the update service says there is no update you can click continue, it will allow you to restore the phone
No.
The only option is "Quit".
Nothing more nothing less, just "Quit".
thats strage.
you may want to follow the debranding process it will at least help you get your phone started.
don't follow a debranding process.
use SEUS instead of PC companion. see if that helps.
Usng SEUS should be possible, I think there's an option just to install everything again, even if it says you had the latest software.
Tried that yesterday on mine and it works..
SEUS does not allow me to reinstall the firmware again, it just detects the latest software and that it's, just a "quit" button and nothing else to choose. PC Companion doesn't work aswell.
So debranding might be the only option?

On my version of the SEUS there is a 'repair' function on the front page, does yours have this ? It can run this even if I have the latest version installed...
No repair option, latest SEUS version.
having the same problem now. except it an warning sign and a picture of the sony x10.
I tried different machines before I sorted the connectivity problem to establish connection to my device until finally my PC can recognise my device.
Now comes the next headache, after getting the connection established I clicked on firmware upgrade - it came up and displays some updates are available -
it shows my current version as:
(PDA)JE9/(Phone)JE9
available update as:
(PDA)JF4/(Phone)JF4
When clicked on 'proceed' - it brings up some warning for me to make sure they are fixed before I proceed further like power cables connected and some warning of not removing or doing anything during upgrade, after I check 'agree' it starts the download by letting me know that the binary files for the new firmware is being downloaded and after the dowload there seems to be a wait creating impatience for us as to what next...after a few seconds I can see the message above the progress bar saying that the upgrade process has begun..
I can see the screen on my SGS display come with the android logo on some work (like road construction work) and the message telling upgrade in progress do not disconnect...it stays in that state for around a minute...no progress in the progress bar....Now suddenly the PC says 'failed to convert to upgrade mode, try later' and even after stopping my phone continues to show the frozen screen with 'upgrade in progress' (getting us confused and scared and dont know if I can unplug - will this brick my device all sorts of question) until I shut down my SGS and reboot to see it is normal as before but whenever I connect for the firmware upgrade all that I know is I am pending new upgrade.
I am stuck and can't proceed further - I tried it many times with many machines no luck. Please anybody suggest a way out.
Some info on my device: Bought in UK, sim free phone from Singapore Singtel as I see the operator's animation in the startup screen.
Other details on firmware:
PDA:I9000DXJE9
Phone:I9000DXJE9
CSC:I9000OLBJE9
In the settings 'About Phone' carries details:
Version: DXJE9
Kernel: [email protected]# (does this mean the device is rooted already?)
I have another question since I saw somebody mention in another thread that whether he/she should do a european firmware upgrade or asian firmware upgrade - I still confused by this question as well, which upgrade will be pushed to you if you are using Kies as it is just one same application made available for download globally.
somebody please help me with the upgrade issue.
isn't there any dev who can help me on this, it looks like i am the only one experiencing this!!!
I don't think many people are getting the upgrade options via kies at the moment.
I'm not seeing it on UK JF3
so hope, there isn't an issue with my device. I am weary because this was purchased from an online site but purchased the device after checking it personally.
One more question, will an unlocked phone get locked after any new firmware updates?
Are sim free and unlocked phones follow different philosophy ie., after unlocking a phone does that become a sim free phone forever.
Second question, how does the OTA update work - if you are not tied to a service provider - does samsung send these directly to all sim free phones automatically, looking and searching for IMEI numbers? and will a rooted phone be allowed to upate to froyo or any official update (for example) via the official Kies?
thanks
There isn't any offical firmware updates, via Kies, and or any other method.

Pls dont give wrong information. If you are suggesting something make it elaborate and clear.
I have clearly mentioned that I can see my current version as: (PDA)JE9/(Phone) JE9
Update available version:
(PDA) JF4/(Phone) JF4
thats what is displayed via Kies. I am also aware from this forum that some people can see the update whilst others dont see any.
Having said that, I was asking a techy questions as to whether a OTA upgrade or a upgrade via Kies from Samsung still happen if the phone is rooted and also if the phone is sim free and not attached to any service providers will the OTA upgrade will happen if so, is it based on IMEI number that will automatically be tracked OTA.

I was wondering if anyone found a solution to this problem? I am having the same problem.
I'm looking at this also.
after following this: (oh great, can't post links)
I had a problem updating to the official Foyo via Kies.
Finally got my PC to recognise the phone then started the update.
Phone screen went all green part way through and nothing was happening for about 20 mins so unplugged.
Phone would switch on but came up with a little picture on the screen and thats it.
so got it updated to JPM by booting into download mode and using odin. Took 5 mins once I downloaded all the files.
Hi to all I thought I would post this purely because I am stumped and need some input please
I have an x10 i that I have been updating ota without issue for quite a while.I think(but am not sure) that I updated all the way from 16 to 23 or 24 not sure which.My phone is on the giffgaff (O2 subsidiary) network and my updates have always been prompt and ota.I originally bought the phone locked to Orange uk.The phone shows no signs of any branding at all and after a bit of research I couldnt find out how to view the phones CDA.
Anyway back on topic I was prompted at the end of last week that an update was available for my x10i.I had always used ota wifi for update.However the notification this time told me I would need to use seus or se pc companion.So I downloaded seus and attempted to update.All seemed well throughout the process.Until it finished and I checked my phone info to see I was back on R2BA20!? I have since tried to debrand and roll back with no success.Everytime I connect seus it tells me that I have the latest software.
Please does anyone have any similar problems or similar input?My phone has never been rooted.I am absolutely stuck with this
Hi guys
Just installed the new keies software and it said the froyo update was out for my handset (galaxy s) it downloads the update really slow (takes about 20 mins) and then then after it reaches 100% the phone disconnects from the PC and the andriod constuction logo appears on the phone, then shortly after i get an error message from kies telling me the upgrade didnt work and that an emergancy repair is needed..
Ive managed to recover the phone back to working order, but is there anyway i can get this update?
p.s phone was unlocked with the tool from these forums when we had it, if that makes a differance
There are many problems with kies while upgrading the firmware. When you get the error - did you read the error? At times it says something about a "rapi.dll" file missing or any other file, just download that file and it should work.
Best alternative is download the firmware from samfirmware (stock) and flash through odin, it hardly takes any time.
If you want your genuine network supplied firmware i would use the Kies Registry Patcher as this allows you to save the downloaded rom in case of problems .
Failing that as advised the stock rom but that is not what came with the phone its generic non network non branded .

This is not a big deal, just click on emergency when it appears and kies will proceed, it might say that it will download the firmware again or might use the firmware that is already downloaded.
Can somebody point me on kernel for JVQ supporting Voodoo Color? Thanks.

The os is the stock sgs firmware 2.1update 1,i am not using the stock usb cable it's an xperia x10cable,it's that a problem?

I tried with an original cable and still doesn't work.i run on win7 32 bit and the latest version of kies
I also have similar error.
I even reset my device to factory setting, and when I connect, Kies prompts to update the device firmware(as following), however - when I click update, it throws the error "FirmwareUpdate has stopped working"

Latest firmware version: PDA:JP6 / PHONE:JP2 / CSC:JP5

I reset my device to factory settings - so definitely not rooted any more.
Kies is able to detect the device and suggest the firmware upgrade - only to crash thereafter.
In fact I am able to do everything else - sync, browse etc.
can be something wrong with the pc?i can't understand why is happening this
Fairly common problem with multiple posts on the subject probably even a FAQ .
Seems to be many different reasons why Kies fails for some .

i am running an orange romania SIM,the phone was not bought from them, do you think they could help me with the update?
Which version of Kies are you using? Try getting the latest version and run Kies as Administrator.
yeah same problem with me , My phone is i9003 newly purchased and i installed kies new version, I connected my phone it showing new upgrade and i accept that ... it says downloading please wait, once everything done it shows me error
my os is windows 7 64 bit
kies version is 2.0011014_49
i tried all kind of stuff,runding in admin,latest version,compatibility mide tc, nothing works... i really don't get it...

do not forget to thank
i tried this solution too,now it's stops somewhere at collecting update parts or something like that,but the program really stops, i also get that error: firmware update has stopped working...
Phone supplier or service centre is where i would go .

i also had the same problem. i tried on 3 diff laptops but same thing. but jst keep on trying...i think after 30-40 tries..luck was on my side...and it worked.
tats how kies is
i found the "solution".kies has some compatibility issues with win7,i tried it on a PC that was runing xp and worked great,thx everyone for help
