Hey there guys
I thought I would start up this thread for those of us who have debranded there handsets to post any and all problems we have encountered after debranding so we can discuss them and hopefully find a way to solve one anothers problems.
I'd just like to stress though that this is not a thread for learning how to debrand, if you want to know that Follow these instructions
This is also not a thread for sorting out problems relating to not being able to debrand, there's a thread for that and it's loacated HERE
So with that out of the way, i've noticed that since debranding my clock doesn't stay synchronised with my network anymore which is odd. Anyone else experiencing these problems or any other problems?
Cheers
John
same problem with the clock, although not sure if it was like that before the debrand, its on manual now instead of auto update.
Guys my pc switched off while debranding, now stuck with a X10 which after the initial SE start-up screen only shows an exclamation mark (!) and does not boot or connect to pc companion or the update service anymore. The phone is initially recognized as a SE phone and pc companion instructs you to mount the sd card which is difficult when there is nothing but an X10 and ! image on the screen.
Use SEUS and connect using back button and inserting cable =).
The clock has nothing to do with debranding, at my stock Rom its the same in O2...

Doesn't connect here's what happens
Update Service - Connects after the above method but gives an error for internet connection something about 'unable to download your phone software'.
PC Companion - Shows as detected SE phone and states 'Drag status bar downward, tap usb connected, tap mount....'. However when you can only see an image of the X10 with a triangle with an "!" in it, your left with nothing to drag down or click.
While trying my luck with different combination of hard buttons found one combination (back button, camera button, power button, volume buttons...) which prompts to Installing SE ROM... on the status bar on my pc, tring to figure out which combo did that.
Don't want to take the phone to the local SE dealer even though it's under warranty as the service centre takes between 14 days to a month even on basic problems.
Off-topic does anyone where I can get an original white Xperia X10 housing, my local SE dealer has been posting full page ads for the phone in the local paper but will have no parts available till end May.
Rgds.
Keep trying with SEUS, the problem your having with that is down to there servers, not your phone. If you keep trying you'll eventually get through.
As for the white housing, I know for a fact Ebay has some authentic white housing for about $50 I think and it comes with the necessary toolshed for the job. Fair warning though you will lose you warranty if you open your device up.

Tried over 30 times over 2 days same as above unable to download, I think it has more to do than servers being busy.
The housing is to be handed over to the local SE dealer to fit, as they won't have the housing or any other parts till end of May.
Is there any other way to recover my phone without taking it to the dealer, I bought it on launch date here, reason for debranding was to get Android market with is not allowed in this region by the Telecom Regulatory Authority, so all Android phones for the market have the app missing. We can buy grey market phones (meant for other regions about USD 100 cheaper but no warranty), for a phone which almost cost me USD 850 that did not make much sense.
Full page ads daily in the local papers now for almost a month must cost the dealers quite a lot, wish they invested that kind of money on customer service (by bringing parts for the phone before they launch it). If this was a Nokia, the dealer promises a 2 day service and repair or replacement here, well so much for the warranty.

Weirdly, the timings reflecting in my FB, twitter posts actually synchronised after debranding. Previously, it reflected as weird timings.
For e.g. if I had posted something, instead of showing 0 mins ago, it shows -23hours or 1890mins ago.
After debranding, all the time issues have been resolved.

Try it, it will work with SEUS. Try the original files from your backup, not the .16 files! Then it shoul update!

Tried with the original files still no luck, SEUS simply tells me I have the latest firmware, is there anything I'm missing - just want to get my phone back out of this limbo state, even if I can't have Android market.

Hello,
I've been trying all day to unbrick my xperia x8 phone with no success.
This is what succeded:
1) I changed the lcd
2) tried a hard reset with no success
3) tried to update with sony ericsson update software several times, trying different things each time.
4) tried all kinds of different solutions posted on these forums.
These are the problems I'm finding at the moment.
1) When I try to turn the phone on, it blinks between light black and nothing, slowly. No led turns on.
2) I can't mange the phone memory stick files when connected through usb
3) when i take off the battery and plug it usb or to the plug, i see the orange light, indicating that it's charging. But when I try to turn it on, the light never comes up again until I remove the batery again.
4) The only way I updated the phone via sony ericsson software, while holding the c button to detect the phone. But other software can't detect the phone, and the green light goes out very quickly. (unless using sony ericsson update software).
I can't find a solution for this. Would greatly appreciate some help. Thankyou.

If you had searched this forum, you would have found this. Good luck.
Thank you for your reply.
I had tried that before, and tried it again. I still have the same problem.
The Update Service Version i used was the one recommended at Sony Ericsson Support Center website. 2.11.1.9
Any other suggestion?
Thanks in advance

If you used PC companion then I recommend trying the Sony Ericsson Update service. If you already tried that then, try the PC companion. If you tried both and they are not working, then use the flash tool.
Thankyou,
Yes I have tried both.
The flash tool is at sony ericsson's support center?

Flash tool is on this forum,search a little bit.
Ok, I just flashed it using the software version 2.3.
And I'm still in the same scenario.
I do have some questions though.
Should I flash it with the micro sd in?
After flashing it using the software, should it be ready to run?
I flashed the phone using android 1.6.
Thank you.
You flashed versioon 2.3??? From which phone?
Maybe your new LCD is damaged and it can't show anything..
@[email protected]
I believe is a typing error lol
Sorry, it was indeed.
What I meant was, I flashed the phone using the Flashtool version 0.2.3.
Sorry for double posting but, regarding the new lcd.
I bought it on ebay, and, I think it's not damaged. I also think I did not damage the phone changing it, I used specific tools and was very careful.
If it was the screen, the led should at least blink red a couple of times while turning it on shouldn't it?
I haven't notified it, you should insert a withoutPIN-SIM and after a while try to call the phone, if it is on you should ring, otherwhise...
Tried that and nothing.
Anyway of finding out what the problem really is? :s
Because I see that I can flash the phone and update it's firmware with three different softwares.
Sony Ericsson Update Service
Sony Ericsson PC Companion
X10 Flash tool 0.2.3 by Bin4ry
I have another question, can I unplug the cellphone after the firmware flash?
It says so, but the led is still green.
Just trying to find the real problem here :s
Thanks for all the support though.

i read all the post. according to your description it seems to be hardware related problem not software 100%. cauz as you said you can change the firmware. then that mean you really need some pro help. just contact with your lcd supplier and ask help from them. they can help you if you dont want to go to technician..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what I'm thinking, but I don't think it's the lcd.
The old one shows with a crack in it, the new one shows no crack. Both show a blank screen.
Might be something else, trying to find out what :s
Ok, seems that the problem is from the new lcd.
I found this because, when I place the old one, after a while, I see the red led blink a couple of times.
And with the new one, I don't see any of that.
So, it can only be that, in my opinion.
Thanks for everything anyway.
Best regards.

flashtool?!?!
reinstall drivers?!?!
USB port on X10 is getting disabled
I'm hearing your pain. It sounds odd and many people have not encountered this problem, so it is hard to even explain, harder to understand it, unless it's happened to you I guess.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034997
New battery will help, if you can get another stock X10 and get some charge back into your battery, this is the first problem overcome.
Next you need to get the USB port to work, there is nothing wrong with your computer. It seem's the USB port gets disabled onboard in the X10 firmware somehow and I'm looking into how. Will let you know when I know more but it seems this is going like wildfire with many X10 owners at the moment - myself included - I can not get my phone to detect SEUS and just bought a new battery, which got drained inside of 10 minutes.
FYI - Wolfbreak CM 6.5 v5 was the firmware I was running at the time the problem came to occur for me. This is based on the FreeX10 Beta4, modified by TriPNraVeR and then again modified by Wolfbreak. I'm not sure how far back this problem goes but it is appearing to be across the board on any Froyo variants.
@rendeiro2005, if this is the case, are any of your ROM's also based on the same firmware? If so, you have just seen the issue, it's happening to people in masses at the moment and is not just a simple SEUS or FlashTool fix... the USB port has become disabled on the X10.
I've been into xRecovery and done a factory wipe, which clears all user data, but after that had a few minutes of green LED, then a white led, crashedm and not able to get back in at the moment. I'm working hard to find a solution
Well i love this phone to say the least so far...unfortunately ive never been able to use the phone...
My friend who i have literally taught everything i know to about phones and computers got this X2 prototype sp2 version phone from someone in his own ways...somehow im quite sure before i got it from him he tried to change the rom on the phone himself because i saw the phone working before he "gave it" to me because it stopped working all of a sudden...
problem is...
i cant reset it...there is no clear memory selection in the rom...AT ALL....
the rom has about half of the programs as a regular 6.1 rom should and it has no SE boot screen anymore, its just a blank white screen on startup and then it goes to the black screen with the rom version and the rest of that data...I cant access the bootloader for numerous reasons and before ANYONE SAYS I SHOULD READ AND SEARCH THE THREADS, lets me first say that he gave me this phone septemember 2010...and i have never been able to access the bootloader since ive gotten it!!!!!
Any suggestions??? the only thing i havent tried yet is to call sony ericson themselves but its about to happen soon!!!!
can i get any help?
i for the first time today put all the roms well almost all of the roms for the en version of one of the roms for the x2 today on my phone hoping for some type of change but to no avail...plus i cant seem to keep the phone charged as everything is on and i cannot access any programs
Did you try to flash the phone using de SE Update Service?
btw, the Xperia X2 aint got WinMob 6.1.
Just visit the SE Page, download SEUS and follow the assistent.

yeah it doesnt allow me to get into the bootloader at all...i have the seus program but i cant get past step 2 in the process of connecting to the phone
And mines does!!! lol 6.1 exactly
and im quite sure thats the reason its having all the problems that its having, not holding a charge, speaker driver not on the phone and half of the apps i uploaded on the phone arent even visible
So I just got a dell venue pro a few weeks ago from a friend, it was basically new, and i finally got it carrier unlocked, but i CANNOT get it to update from 7.0.7403.0
everything seems to work fine, i downloaded the most recent zune software, i connect the phone and it has me rename it, everything works fine at this point (sync and connection are OK), the software recognizes there is an update, so i hit "update now" and it begins to update.
from this point it will stop at random spots, usually at step 6/10 "resetting phone" is where it quits most, usually getting stuck on the dell logo, but sometimes at 15% or 20%...either way it will freeze the zune software or freeze the DVP itself and i'll have to remove the battery to get it to work again...
anyway, if anyone knows how to fix whatever is wrong with it, i really want to get it updated.
I've heard of weird problems like this. People having to try the update multiple times before it will be successful. One person said he had to try using a Windows Vista PC before it worked. If you have another machine, even if it's also Windows 7, try that next. Also make sure you are using a high quality USB cable of appropriate length.
I just tried a few different USB cables, the furthest point i get to now is step 6 of 9 "restarting your phone" and the phone freezes at DELL logo. Has done that 3 times now...
this is a pretty poor first experience with Windows phone
yessssssss victory.
for anyone having any similar problems i tried like 3 USB cables since i dont have the original Dell cable (dont know if that has anything to do with it really) and 3 different computers too, finally got an XP machine to do it.
my phone froze during my first attempt, so i pulled battery and did it again. phone was backing up and "resetting"
but it never reset, it just went to dell logo and froze.
i was pissed so i just pulled battery and made it update the exact same setup again
for some reason this time it did the entire update until the final 9/10 reset, which it froze at too.
however this time when i disconnected the phone to pull the battery the zune software didnt throw an error or even look like it knew the phone was disconnected.
so i pulled battery and held down Pwr Vol Camera to put it in that software mode and plugged it back in, it acted as if it had successfully reset and finished the update...Finally, this was way more trouble than its worth IMO.
hopefully anyone that has the same issue will get some satisfaction from knowing it can be overcome.
+ im still getting random resets when using Wifi and the market, so im going to swap my 8 gig card for a 32 and see if that can be cleared up too.
+lol, 32 gig card swap is a breeze and ive had no issues yet. sweet.
Make sure to get all of the WP and firmware updates so you won't have the wifi bug. I think the larger SD card isn't a permanent fix but it's fixed with a later update. This update is worth the trouble
If you feel adventurous, you can force an update to 8107 too

You know I see this phone such a fine piece of hardware and when I read about problems people have or get into with this phone... it really disappoints me. I thank god my DVP works perfectly fine since day one. The phone is also updated to the latest and I got tmobile service on it. Everything works fine. I hope I don't ever run into any problems. You guys know whats up in making the custom roms? Man I want to post some info in the other developer thread but I am not allowed yet until I get 10 posts. I am helping currently a reseller on ebay with some DVP he has to fix and probably can provide technical information if needed.
