so i've bricked my x10.. any my question is.. if everything else fails (seus, flashtool etc.) should i clear the dalvik cache to remove the boot loop? and if yes.. how to do it on a bricked phone...?
If it's bricked you need to flash it I believe.

i looked a bit on the web and found that if my phone displays a yellow exclamation mark (like it does) that means it's not actually bricked.. there is hope for him, but that hope may only lay in the hands of the sony ericsson service center... because my phone bricked during a seus update process and according to Bin4ry that means the phone has a bad nand sector.. and we'll only have to find out if it's true..

so.....here I am yet again asking/begging/kissing booty to get some help on correcting my NOOB mistake.
I downloaded RSDLite....and tried to unroot back to stock firmware. I downloaded what I thought was the stock firmware:
DROID2_X6_2.2.20_SHADOW_BP_C_01.09.05P_P2_USERBLD_SECURE.sbf
and now I have a nice baby blue Triangle where my 3G would show...and oh yeah I can't connect to the network at all.
I was unrooting because:
1) I can't use live wallpapers for some reason, don't have the option when I hold down the homescreen and figured I messed up so wanted to wipe my system clean.
2) I heard 2.3 update takes your root away, I tried to update OTA and(wow I just realized that means OverTheAir) and it keeps failing upon installation.
now I a stuck with a 2.2 brick lol....but not really lol...
HELP!!!!!
Just hit *228 and reprogram your phone and all will be good!
IT WORKED!!!!
Thanks so much!

i remember using the backupandrestore app from sonyerricson to backup my data in 1.6 android before updating to 2.1
that is the only backup i have but i cant access even the home screen thus i cannot go into that backupandrestore app to restore my phone...
help please! someone!
Repair your phone(PCC or SEUS)
The same thing happened to me. I tried to enable JIT and now the reboot keeps looping. I can't access xRecovery, and when I try to repair the system PC Companion says that no software available for my phone yet. (I don't really understand why it says yet.)
I'm a noob and I'm now panicking.
What should I do?
i tried repairing with SEUS but my phone just wont connect whenever it asks me to press the back button T_T
I managed to get back the 1.6 system to my phone with the flasher by bin4ry. It has started repairing at first.
Now I'm relieved.

Just Install SE Update Service and follow the steps. It will say that you allready have newest softeare but you just click install. wait for installation to finish.
unplug the phone and power the phone.
after 2 min, phone working.
same thing happened to me after i installed JiT
i do not know why and therefore i can not have Jit
i think i might know the answer
does jit fail on phones with a lot of sotftware installed?
on a fresh phone after a flash or a restore i think it always works
So here is what happened. I made a backup of a stock atrix firmware and copied the backup to my atrix on deodexed 2.3.4. I tried to install the backup but it stops somewhere along the line and says error formatting data.
now the phone wont connect to the computer. when i opened rsdlite however it shows that the device is connected.the phone bootloops and I cant copy anything to the phone cause i cant connect to the phone except through rsd sorry if i posted in the wrong section cause this is the only one i can post in. and i searched for solutions but no one has this same problem. PLEASE HELP
then if you CAN use rsd lite place phone in rds lite mode then use "stock sdk from motorola and flash it back i went all the way ro 1.26 then over rhe air updated to 1.83
but i also continued on to unlocked bootloader and flashed gigerbread build (alien ) after installing cwm
im also on usa at&t fyi

Did u do factory reset after the flash
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
My atrix wont even boot to the RSD etc selection screen
So i had my phone rooted and wanted to unlock the bootloader so i followed the steps from pudding but it did not work. everyone has a NS version of the phone in RSD Lite but mine was SE not sure why. So i tried a few times to flash the new image and clear everything out to no avail. now i don't even get to the menu that gives me 5 seconds to select what method i want to use to fix it.
all i get is a flash of this on the screen before it goes black again
SVF:105:1:2
Failed to boot 0x1000
(stays for a second)
Entering NWFlash Recovery Mode
(Flashes under the other text but really fast before the screen goes blank)
windows wont even recognize that its plugged in. but what else is odd is that while plugged in it seems to be charging as the green notification light stays on.
any help would be great. thank you

Bootloops means soft bricks which is not really a problem. When your phone Boots up, press the down key along worth the power button. Then keep pressing down button until you see Android Recovery. Do a factory reset or flash another room once in there.

Sounds like a hard brick indeed. At this moment in time hard bricks are incurable but some people said that taking their battery out and putting it back into their phones solved their problem. You might want to give it a shot.
A guy also claimed thay its possible to unhardbrick your phone using the jtag technique. You might want to read up on it.

There's soo many forums and different avenues to go down! after about 9 hours trying various things to make my atrix (running normal 2.3.4 rooted with no other cm7 or rom or any other mod) i am left with my atrix at the boot screen OR if i leave it to boot it just makes the logging on noises then shows the white screen, then nothing.
I stupidly followed the list to freeze using bloatfreezer. Not the updated list where it reads next to HOME (make sure you have another launcher) so i have frozen 'home' and i am stuck.
i cannot do a recovery because it has that fail message x2 everytime i do the power volume - and + on the android recov.
I am completely lost. i do not understand what hard/soft/adw/ push email/ or other jargon means. If you have any solutions i'd be more than grateful.
I hope i haven't bricked my phone, cos a 2year contract and no new phone is gonna push me near that ledge lol

If you're on AT&T - get RSD lite and find the proper sbf file and flash it. If you were using Gingerbread, make SURE you have a GINGERBREAD sbf file - or else you'll permanently brick your phone. If you're on Bell - you'll need the appropriate file for Bell to flash, same rules apply - If your on gingerbread, make SURE its a gingerbread file you're flashing.

did you wipe the system?
boot into fastboot, and flash stock image.
Yes that will help... What I've learned from my previous phone, i.e. Sony Ericsson Walkman W8 is never wipe data/ factory reset your phone until you have a ROM ready for it...!! I had the same issue with it but I could pull out the memory card and put a custom ROM into it... So then I flashed the ROM.. And had no problem booting! So... I downloaded a ROM for my nexus 4 before rooting it!!
Just shared my experience... Someone might benefit from it!

Doing a factory reset doesn't affect the ROM.
Anyway, flash the factory system image and you'll be good.

Well it happended with my vwalkman. And also with my brother's xperia ion while rooting. I put CWM on it. And by mistake after the factory reset I rebooted the system and it got stuck on the sony logo... Even the recovery was gone... I had to fix it by pushing a custom kernel with a recovery in it.. Also it happened with my friend's htc explorer... It was stuck on the htc logo.. Cz he wiped the system after flashing the supersu file and then rebooted.. But he still had the recovery..! But that was fixed by simply inhaling a ROM!! I never posted this anywhere as I couldnt find any similar threads...
Hey. My phone got bricked due to an unknown reason while using the Omega custom rom. I am able to access recovery and download mode. After flashing stock firmware for my region, the phone gets stuck on bootscreen. I've tried wiping data and cache and everything and also using pit file. It says pass but gets stuck on bootscreen. If I try to install any other custom rom also the same problem occurs. If I try installing CM I get a black screen. I can't take it to the service centre as my warranty is void. Please help.:crying::crying:
