Dear XDA forum users and administrators
I have an Xperia X10i who had some problems, it was rebooting sometimes by itself (android 1.6) and also the network interception was bad so I decided to upgrade to 2.1.
Backup sms's and contacts done.
Upgrade started with the SE pc companion, but the bar of installation to phone progress filled till "almost" to the end and it stopped with, upgrade failed, check battery min 50% and retry or contact support SE.
Battery check ok
Retried several times but no success.
(and not rooted)
Now the x10i doesnt boot anymore and I receive a yellow exlamation mark with a litlle phone icon.
Now I searched for a while in the forum and tried different things, to flash towards shipped rom (but i dont know which it is actually stupid of me that i didnt check that) also on youtube from people mentioning the forum xda developpers etc, no success.
Also tried with repair using SEUS, at the end of the progress bar, just to be finished but no it stops with same error.
Still receiving the yellow triangle exlamation mark and phone icon.
Has anyone any idea how to solve this please?
I know I need to install the firmware by flashing but I dont succeed, has anyone suggestions tips who had this also?
I know there are a lot of threads where this flashing solved it but in my case this doesnt goes the way it should do.
I had also some problems when trying to flash, it says cannot find the specified file or path, this i received also (wanted to mention it)
Is there a way to take an image (backup with firmware) of another xperia and "restore" it on this one?
Thanx in advance to all of you who wants to help me out.

Hi !
I just got my new phone : Xperia ARC !
And you know what ? I Bootlooped it by mistake
The problem is I don't really know I did wrong and why every solution I found doesn't fix my problem.
Okay, now I tell you my story :
I received my phone and use it few hours.
I rooted it with GingerBreak and start to really use it, installing apps...
I removed some useless apps (I think I removed something important ) but everything was good.
And later I rebooted my phone. And tadaaam ! "Sony Ericsson" logo forever, bootlooped !
I tried :
- FastBoot technique, but my phone was blocked by my operator, impossible to use the menu button when I plug my phone.
- FlashTools with 2 different firmwares, the flashing works (no error in logs) but I'm still in the loop !! I used LT15i_3.0.A.2.181 Global Customized and the UK 184.
- Tried again on Win7 and WinXP 64 et 32 bits...
- I prayed all the night.
Nothing fixed my phone...
I don't know what to anymore... I need you !
Thanks.
EDIT : BTW I didn't tell you but I tried with SE Tools to fix it, and nothing change
I tried se tools to fix my arc but I left my phone for a hour after the flash wouldnt work and flashed the firmware again cause that is why my phone would work the first time so anyway tried it after an hour and I left it a good 20 mins and Sony Ericsson logo came on then took another 20 mins for it to load up properly try my way and see if it works for u

You will may need to flash the correct firmware for your phone/ operator..
Where is the phone from? which operator did you buy it from?
I bought it in France, operator : VirginMobile.
I had the same and just recovered the firmware by SEUS (Sony Ericcson Update Service). This program can be downloaded from the internet. Just follow instructions and you have a fresh phone again. Really fresh as you have to setup everything from the beginning but at least your phone works again.
I already tried using SEUS without success, nothing changed
How many Firmware exists ?
How do I know which one was mine ?

How do I know which one was mine ?
just try the uk generic one..
Sent from The Arc!
I just did it again. The bootloop is still there.
I tell you I unlock it first, then I had problems with some widgets and I learned some new updates.
Then, I made a backup with Sony_Ericsson_Backup_and_restore.
After searching, I root my phone with "GINGERBREAK" downloaded from the internet (GingerBreak-v1.20) and finally settled "Titanium Backup" to remove some applications from my operator, then install the CLOCKWORDMOD (do not know what for) and and finally I started to flash ...
After root, flashing with FlashTool_0.2.9.1.
I suggested steps for flashing and inserted this update: "LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic Global", with "wiped ...", which is to delete everything and set it to zero ..
Normal work for me ... I sent version 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 (thinking I would send to 2.3.4). It was great ... Then I appeared a notice of samsung (on phone), to install version 2.3.4 (4.0.1.A.0.283 I think it was that number) and when it started to install warned me he was going to shut down, spent 6 or 7 minutes and not lit. I tried to turn it on and vibrated, then vibrate him again and try to turn rang again, but soon ...
Then I could not turn ...
Once this happened I was like crazy trying to fix the COMPANIOM, but nothing ...
I flash again, this time with this "LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_ (1247-1041). Ftf" but did not recognize the flashtool as the first time coming out of the mobile code when you open the program loads and displays the model number of the phone, it did not appear.
Finally, press flash and began. (To this already, before, try reinstalling the Global LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic where my computer does not recognize, nor giving flash, just not recognized out in red letters)
When flashing with the latest LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_ (1247-1041). Ftf, the normal flashing until the end. But my phone just did not work. The light that was on the side of my phone was green ...
I sent a technician and he said he could not ....=/
I hope you can help and serve as a case to be resolved.
Thank you very much, good luck!

But i did it...u_U! So, now?
Hi all, I am just depressed, I have tried to root my Defy + , and finaly I found that my version cant be root at the moment, so I decided to Restore to Factory Setting because I think after trying so many root software and failed, it;s better to go back to defult setting, than I am so shock when I see my phone again :
THe lockbar is lost, and also every defult app, and I count have a slide unlock bar, it said I can only make phone calls, and that's it, nothing eles, I cant do anything on it, is that because I have tried so many root softwares so it become liek that?
Or is it just normal and that's solution that I can hae the apps and slidelockbar ?
Please kindly give me some advice, I am so helpless
I have never seen something like that, now that is all off, try flashing it with some stock sbf, i'm sure you will find many of them in the development section, i'm sorry for your loss
Hey, don't panic. Nothing is lost. Just find here proper to your version SBF and burn it with RSDLite.

I went to the Motorola shop today , and actually it's just some se4tting problem , now it's working fine, and the problem I make is the sim card I placed in the phone was different , so the Motorola locked it , and the staff said this function is onlt Motorola phone having : 0
Ok, so i am reposting this hoping that someone could help me with my problem. maybe I have not explained it enough the last time.
I am still not able to update my g7102 to 4.4.2 kitkat, it always goes well everytime i try to update it via Odin (from Sammobile) or OTA (450mb). but here's the problem, It always gets stucked at the screen where I get the phone model with "Rebooting Recovery" in blue. I had to wait for around 20mins before it go to android animation where it has a green line below showing that its applying the update, then it goes to the setup wizard but touchscreen doesnt work. I tried turning it off an on but I had to wait for another 20mins and touchscreen still doesnt work.
I want to try anything first before going to the service center and pay since I got this from a different country and dont think if it still has warranty.
I really want kitkat on my phone. I hope someone could help me with this.
Thanks guys!
Hello
I have a Yotaphone 2 running android 5.0. I have a huge problem with the device which is, that the phone reboots automatically all by itself after the screen turns off. The screen timeout is set at 1 minute and once the screen goes off, the phone reboots! I don't know what the problem is but its making me crazy!
Note: The phone does not reboot if the screen doesn't turn off. So I changed the screen timeout to 30minutes. Also note that Wi-Fi doesn't start immediately. It doesn't even start most of the time and is stuck at "turning on"! And also, the phone isn't detecting my SIM Card!
Hope someone can solve my problem.
Wow, seems a lot of problems here. However you provided very few info about your phone.
1) Where did you buy it?
2) What have you done after you opened it, OTA? Which firmware was installed?
3) Have you tried factory reset by wiping data in the stock recovery? (Accessible with Vol+ and Power)
4) Have you tried to flash from scratch the RU .124 firmware with YotaFlasher?
5) The phone was behaving normally before or it's doing this as soon as you started using it?
I got the phone as a gift

-The phone was a gift from "Aramex Company".
-Yes, I have factory reset it! Note: It wasn't possible to reset it from settings because it would always get stuck in "Shutting Down" phase and nothing would happen. So I hard reset it.
-I found something strange going on though. Whenever I reset it, It would restart (after the reset is over) and say that "ANDROID IS UPGRADED TO 5.0".
I think it is upgrading by itself to 5.0.
-No, I haven't tried any flashing.
-Yes, the phone was working fine for a while and then started behaving like this!
Cheers!
(Thank You for your support and attention by the way)

Hello!
I have made a video showing what the problems are! Please give me your e-mail so that I can send you the "Dropbox" link to the video.
Thank You!
I think the first thing to do here is to flash a clean firmware (RU or EU) on your phone via YotaFlasher, search here on xda how, and then report back if it's happen again! Seems that the firmware it was shipped with wansn't so stable.
Flashed it!

Hey!
As you had prescribed, I flashed it! First I flashed it with Android 5.0.0-ME1.1.60 and after opening the phone I used it for a while and the phone was same as before flashing! There was no difference at all! The phone was restarting on turning screen off as usual, the WiFi wasn't turning on, and the SIM wasn't being recognized!
But then I flashed it with Android 4.4.3-S01-003-ME1.0.3.61a and the phone is still rebooting by itself upon switching the screen off and the WiFi problem still persists! The WiFi just simply won't turn on. It's stuck at "turning on"! The SIM isn't recognized either! Also, the phone is restarting from the inside now (It wasn't restarting before. I had to keep the power button pressed every time I wanted to restart)! But NOTE that the phone still cannot be just shut down, it can only be restarted!
I don't know what to do!
Cheers

Hi lgk350tr,
Why are you unable to make yotaflasher work, it is a pretty simple application. Have you tried to see instruction videos on YouTube on how to use it? Instructions are also available on XDA Developers' website. ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/general/yota-flasher-download-t3480922 )
Don't hesitate to contact, for any problem!
Cheerio

Try flashing the hybrid modem mentioned in the general guide (Part 2).
Try flashing 2 times before rebooting.
If nothing helps, you could try lineageos, @angelll123 made a lengthy guide how to that in the post quoted here , also check my comment.
Is this what you mean?

I have attached a screenshot of the Yotaphone 2 General guide page, I want to know if you are referring to the text that I highlighted in the screenshot!
Thank You
I do experience similar issue, but only recently. I haven't done anything like flashing or upgrading my phone, it started by itself .
I am experiencing reboots whenever battery drops below about two thirds of its capacity. Also, charging and handling some load prevents this.
Note that my Yotaphone has both displays damaged. Still working though.
