Not rooted, no ROMs, just won't boot past SE logo.
Can't get into ADB as before this happened, the development box wasn't ticked.
Could do with someone telling me how to get into Fastboot (and if it's possible).
Much love ~
just relax mate, reflash using SEUS (Sony ericson update service) download it on sony ericsson.. just follow the instuction in it and it will be alright.
Hi there,
The SEUS thing is rubbish. I hold the back button like it asks (when plugging in USB) and doesn't allow me to progess. The other application (PCC) is not what I need, but SEUS is in the right direction.
Got SEUS working, installed the original update.
Then installed xrecovery and rooted and threw a 2.3 ROM on. Looking good!
Case closed!

Hi all
my xperia x10i won't turn on
Firstlly sorry for my English.
My xperia cannot open.
When i pushed power button to open xperia, it shows Sony Ericsson write and logo but after restart auto , likely on-off-on-off-on-off.
What did I do before breakdown ?
i upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2.1 . it runned normally but can't see simcard so i wanted to downgrade 2.1 version to use my phone normally. I downgraded the version with Sony Ericsson Pc Companion last sony ericsson version.
When the downgrade is done by SE pc Companion i tried to open my Xperia and i see breakdown.
so i cannot open phone and i cannot start sony ericsson pc companion and cannot start unknown sources and usb debugging mode.
I need your help. I don't know how to fix it i need my xperia to use
Ok, i had to do this twice now, as i bricked it a couple of weeks ago
you'll have to reflash with sony ericsson update service here:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup.../detailed/updateservice/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en
Follow the instructions and press the back button before plugging in the cable.
Download the software and keep in mind that playing around with roms will result in these problems so don't go too far.
1. Take your battery out.
2. Hold the back button. Make SEUS running and ready.
3. Plug it into the computer.
4. Put your bateery back in.
Follow the instructions. Hopefully it would work and good luck
If it worked dont forget to hit thanks button.

Hi,
I've been lurking in the forums for a few months now, and have found them incredibly helpful.
First things first. I have an xperia play from Rogers in Canada. It is currently updated to 2.3.3 (via the seus tool) but not rooted.
I am trying to flash my device with the free xperia project image http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128216, but i have run into some problems.
I have downloaded the image and can get the command prompt to show up. It sits at "waiting for device"
I try to get the device to go into "flash" mode by holding down the back button and inserting the usb. I've been looking around the forums here and some people report that this mode is indicated by a flashing blue led on the power button. My power button turns (and stays) a solid green and the "waiting for device" message never goes away.
I have tested the "flash" mode with the official Sony update tool found http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/mobilephones/downloads/subject/updateservice/xperia-play?cc=ca&lc=en and it seems to be working fine. It detects the device, tells me the software is up to date, and offers to wipe and re-install a fresh copy of the OS.
What am I doing wrong? I would like to install the free Xperia project, mostly so i can play with overclocking my cpu. Any help would be appreciated.
If it's any help I also can't seem to flash with flashtool either.
Thanks!
If you want it to go blue, you have to hold the search button, not the back button. That Should solve it
hm.. I guess you need an unlocked bootloader.... but I'm not sure..
Thanks,
I tried the search button. All it does when i plug it in holding the search button is to bring up the Sony Ericsson splash screen, and then the power button goes orange.
Is it possible that I need an unlocked bootloader? I think I read somewhere that the bootloader on the Rogers play is locked down and has not been cracked yet.
Need it unlocked

And at this time there's no way to get it unlocked with a simlocked phone?
Because I guess i'll have to wait for that, or for someone to crack 2.3.3/4 so i can at least re-root my device.

you cannot issue fastboot commands "fastboot erase, fastboot flash. fastboot boot, ect" without an unlocked bootloader, i know its a pain but there is no way around it atm, im sure the dev scene on xda will have a work around for you soon

I tried doing that but I couldn't get flashtool to see my phone (I was using the new beta version)
*edit*
(i tried it both on win7 32 bit and win7 64 bit)... maybe i need to do some driver kung fu?
you can use seus? if yes, you have the drivers ( I guest )...
And it work like seus, same button to hold... what is the version of your phone? R800a, R800i?
the "about phone" says that it is an r800a
I do the same thing (hold the back button and plug in the usb) with flashtool but it doesn't see the phone and start the flash (the regular sony update program does.)
So i replaced the drivers that the sony update tool installed with the drivers that came with flashtool. (in device manager i uninstalled sony xperia play and manually replaced them with the files in the flashtool\drivers folder)
I was then able to use the UK image via flashtool to roll back to 2.3.2, root, and then update.
I still can't install FreeXperia (or maybe i just can't think of a way how)... but i have current version 2.3.3/4 and it is rooted.
Thanks guys!
Apologize that I am still a newbie, I don't know much about technical terms.
Yesterday, I flash my ARC via x10 Flasher to get the latest update with LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic Global.tft. I finally got my ARC fully updated.
Today, I was mistakenly update my Xperia Play using LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic Global.tft via X10Flasher also. However, I didn't notice or have known before that they're using separated FW and I accidentally use Arc's FW to Play...
The result that my Play got bricked??? The screen got only light and no SE logo appeared. The power button got red light on it.
I tried both SEUS and PC Companion to flash back to Original FW but It didn't help.
When I connected to PC Companion, the software informed that I connected LT15i, infact it must be R800i -.-*
Any method to recover my Xplay to Original FW?
R800i Asia I think
Please help I felt that I was so stupid that I did such a stupid thing...
T3T
I had nearly the same Problem. Maybe this might help, it helped for me.
1. FULLY CHARGE YOUR PHONE!!! I was told to remove battery for 30minutes, then put it back in but without sim card and withough SD Card. Then plug the charger back and charge for at least 5 hours!!!
2. Connect your Phone in Fastboot mode (blue light) by pressing the searchbutton before connecting.
3. Update your drivers with the provided Fastboot drivers of this forum
4. Do the steps of relocking your play through Fastboot
5. Try SE Update again with the Software
Ill keep my fingers crossed for you, I know how you re feeling...
Guys, my wife's X8 just got busted..
touchscreen is gone.. display is still there but not responding to touch anymore.
(I did everything I can.. so confirmed it's a hardware issue).
I've flashed this to a custom ROM.
How can I flash this back to stock 1.6? Along with the SE GUI?
I ran search on forum and found I need to download SE PC Companion, or SEUS.. will that do the trick? I need confirmation because my internet connection at home is quite slow, and I need to send this back for warranty ASAP.
Thanks all.
Yeah, download SEUS, select repair and it will install stock 2.1
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
Thanks Godra..
However I found this from SE Website..
How to use
1. On the computer: Start PC Companion.
2. Connect the USB cable to your computer and then to the phone..
3. On the phone: Select the "Connect your phone" option.
4. Wait for the phone to connect.
5. On the computer: From the Dashboard, select the applications to start different services and get information.
----
Issue is the touchscreen is busted, so I can't select the "Connect your phone" option.
Any other flashing method to get back to stock without them noticing that I've modded?
use the Flashtool.
You´ll have the choice beetween different 1.6 and 2.1 ROMs, and you just need to putn your phone into flashmode for this, so you don´t have to touch the screen.
You can try x10 flashtool. I would post you a link to the thread but im currently on my x8 so you ll have to use search...

Thanks codfreak and Godra.. I'll try first and see how it goes.
Appreciate your help. God bless!
Dear all, I found out that I've made a nandroid backup of the original stock ROM and saved it on my computer hard disk (see.. always do a nandroid backup!)
Anyway, I have xRecovery installed on the phone.. how do I uninstall it?
Flash with SEUS. You need first to turn OFF your phone (better to pull out battery). Run SEUS, choose your phone, next.
When SEUS asks, put your battery in while pressing back button. It will restore original Eclair.
unfortunately after using Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0, the app is unable to detect my phone.
Upon connect via USB, it asked me to do something to the phone.. which require touchscreen interaction before it could identify..

You are not trying SEUS?
I think there is no need to touch anything on phone because SEUS is needed your phone to turn off.
wc_how, yeah I didn't use SEUS.. hehe..
Oh well, I sent the phone after nandroid restore.. stock ROM.. as it is..
At the service center, one lady tested my phone.. checked the hardwares.. all appears ok, no sign of drop.. while I explained about the touchscreen issue..
All of a sudden she enters xRecovery before I knew it.. and she was greeted by this smirking Android face...
She paused, take a look at me... I smiled...
She turned the phone off and said "Ok, we're going to replace the touchscreen for you, please sign here - here's your reference number, we will call you - or you can call us when the device is ready"
And I was off.. hehehe
Your lucky then, enjoy
I have an xperia x10a phone that had android 2.1 update 1..forgot which baseband it was running.Flashed it to Wolfs TW Gingerbread and then as the guide says flashed to the baseband provided in the thread (http://www.filesonic.com/file/1996222851/X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only_kernel_baseband.7z) and now its bricked i guess.
When i press the power button it vibrates but the screen is still black.
I can still use flash tools i tried flashing to X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200.ftf and still no use.
Someone help me
Try pc companion or seus
You'll want to use the PC Companion or SEUS to fix the problem. If you don't have either of them, you can get PC Companion here. Start up the program, plug in your phone. You'll want "repair device". Just follow the instructions to and it'll help you get back to the stock firmware.
