O2- XDAIIi upgrade

Guy,
Please Help
I was upgrading my XDAIIi to Xda IIi ROM v 1.11.162. during which it show an error message and it just went blank looking closely at the screen showing USB at the top of the screen and the bottom of it has v1.01,
when put on the cradle it showing USB.
I have press the reset botton God knows how many times
Please help someone

Were you trying to upgrade to the rom I posted? With RADIO 1.03 in the filename?
You need to press the power, d-button down and the reset button all together.
Then run the update program again. If it is the original O2 rom then it should work fine from there. If it is the rom I posted then the update will fail initially, just run the program a second time without touching your phone at all.
Hope this helps.

No, I am upgrading from O2 website. I am sorry it not connecting to my pc at all. No sign of life ,
it only display USB on the screen

Try doing a hard reset by holding the power button down and pressing the reset button.
Put it into bootloader by pressing the power, d-button down and the reset button all together and releasing them at the same time. The screen should say SERIAL. Connect it to your PC and the screen should then say USB. Then you should be able to run the update.
If this doesn't work as a last resort try taking the battery out for a while to let the backup run down and start again. Whatever happens the phone needs to go into bootloader mode and a rom applied to get it working again.

Please, which is the D-botton you are refering to

The D button is the "Directional" button, in between the green pickup phone button and the red hang up button.

My smt5600 is not booting up!!!!

I was trying to upgrade to the WM5 rom. But it went wrong and now my smt5600 is not booting up at all. Its DEAD. Anyone have any idea how i can get the phone working again. I connect the phone to the USB cable and there still nothing. HELP somebody....

Can you get it manually in bootloadermode? If that's possible, connect USB & reflash. I don't know how to get a typhoon in bootloader, that's something you've got to find out yourself.
Regards, M
[edit]
& the wiki tells you how to get it in bootloader:
the bootloader
enter bootloader, by turning off device, then hold down camera button, and briefly press the power button.
see http://www.clubimate.com/index.asp?PageAction=DEVICEFAQ_SP3 for more info
an easier way, that does not require the right timing for button presses, is to hook your device to usb, turn it off. press the camera button, it should immediately enter the bootloader.

The phone seems dead. It will not turn on. No lights. It seems if the flash memory is shut down. I tried to flash it with WM5 and look where it got me. I wish I can get to bootload but nothing.

I assume this WM5 'release' wasn't released by your provider, was it? Did they release any official updates & is your phone still covered under warranty? If so try to get it fixed with the claim that you upgraded with the rom they supplied. It's worth to try, cause I don't know no other way than a Service Center to get it functioning again.
BTW was your battery full enough or almost empty?
Feeling with you, M

NO USB connection in bootloader

Hi Everyone!
I got the following problem with my Charmer:
The previous guy, who had this phone, flashed it with a wrong ROM. The phone hangs at the T-mobile splash screen. I beleived that I can fix this problem, because I made this with my Charmer earlier. (Thanks for rmagyar's Charmer rescue kit). But at this time, when I put the phone into bootloader mode to use the rescue kit, there is no usb connection. It can't be charged, and the PC doesn't see the phone.
Any ideas, how to flash the rescue kit? Can I get back the usb connection?

I have same problem, anyone know?

try this, plug usb cable in PDA, press and hold power+camera button, tick RESET 5 sec and release reset button, but hold power+camera. if you see left side screen USB release power+camera button. it work for me, may be helped you!!!

I am sorry, I have this problem on my Xperia X1, but maybe someone from there have an idea...

Check:Start->Setting->NetworkConnection->WindowsMobile-basedDevice :
If Disabled than restart PC.

Dead XPERIA X2

Hi, I bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 and decided to update the firmware through SE Update Suite. In the middle of firmware update, the computer BSoDed on me. The phone went dead and the PC did not detect it any more (Unknown USB device in device manager).
Eventually I managed to detect the phone by SEUS (on another machine); now I have a "COMXX SSE X2 Software DOWNLOAD" in device manager. I follow the instructions in SEUS to update the firmware, press and hold Vol Down + Power buttons. The phone vibrates and device manager shows "COMXX SE X2 Software DOWNLOAD", but SEUS does not update the phone.
What can I do to recover the phone?

update firmware
How can I update firmware from card?

You have to do it through SEUS.

don't worry
this happened to me too. heres what you do read all the steps before you do it
first go ahead and charge you phone just plug it into the wall then follow these directions
1.) start suess and continue like you normally would
2.) remove your battery cover and leave it off
2.) when you get to the step that asks you to plug in your phone, connect your phone via usb to you computer, then hold the down volume button + the power button + while you are holding these buttons push the soft restart button* do this all at once and do not let go of any of the buttons until you see the white screen with the sony ericson logo and it should update like normal.
*to get to the soft restart look at the back of the phone with the battery cover off, now pull out the stylus right there next to you camera where you stylus came out is a little button push it with your stylus.
this worked for me when i thought i bricked my phone and it worked, so good luck and tell me how it works out

doesn't wurk, device unknown maybe you didn't brick your phone, that's why it was still booting to logo screen...
I noticed that "COMXX SSE X2 Software DOWNLOAD" device appears in Device manager when the Volume UP is pressed on boot instead of Volume DOWN.
One more thing... There is a useful piece of software out there called QPST (Qualcomm Phone Service Tool). When I have the phone in download mode it detects the device (since it's Qualcomm platform, pretty much like ZTE 3G modems). But I don't have loaders or software to flash the phone baseband from QPST. Maybe if someone can parse the firmware available on the Net and extract the said loaders and software, then I could flash the Baseband and get the phone detected by SEUS to continue flashing Windows part. Unfortunately, decrypting the firmware is way beyond my knowledge. Anyone more knowledgeable on this subject?

First of all: Charge your phone for at least 2 hours from wall charger. I have experienced that it does not charge from USB always, especially when in update mode.
Please try this if you have only charged from USB previously.

Thanks for your advice, but I am aware that phones don't always get full charge with damaged firmware. That is why I took the battery out and charged it fully with a special charger for batteries.

Need help
Can anybody help? - Problem is that i cant "push" my phone to go to bootloader (tried soft-reset, vol down+shut down..nothing helps), so it i cant update via SEUS. And after trying to instal manualy R3 cab's, "Clear phone memory" is gone - now i even can't reset my phone.
Anybody, please help.

what i think you trying to do is boot the rom from the sd card is that right? if you are, it won't work because you need a alternative bootloader or a hard-spl which the x2 doesn't have... yet. thats why we HAVE to use SUES. if you can't get your computer to recognize your phone even after charging it in you special charger and forcing it into bootloader via SUESS (the option i pitched earlier) your best bet is to contact Sony Ericsson or who ever you bought it from and tell them they sold you a faulty device and they HAVE to replace it. if you get the opportunity to talk to them on the phone be firm and don't ever place fault on yourself and push that they sold you a broken device, hopefully they will send you a new one. i'm sorry i couldn't help. At this time my knowledge in Winmo is ignorant at best. good luck

anyone know how to help?? i also have this problem.... ><
Down volume button + the power button doesn't have the logo of SE..
and the SEUS can't detect my x2... wanna cry//

Hi!
Do exactly like this:
1 Charge the battery with the wall charger to at least 50.
2 Remove all cables connected to X2. This is important!
3 Remove and re-insert battery.
4 Push and hold volume down.
5 While still holding volume down, push and hold Power at the same time.
6 Hold until SE logo on white background appears, then release both buttons.
7 Now connect USB cable.
Be careful to follow this exactly or it will not work!

Or You might need go to " C " drive - Progam files _ sony Ericson than remove any SEUS in that folder befor you go to inStall new F/Ware up date , everytime you want to reflash new SEUS you have to remove the last time F/Ware evenly that is the same one SEUS .than you go on for update new F/Ware SEUS to your phone .

Here is the support site for US. SE has a dedicated Nr and mail for x2.

Help - Locked safe mode

Hi there. Im Dante, from Argentina.
I own a LG G2, for a year now, and I never had a problem. Never installed a mod, just the stock configuration. Yesterday the phone screen got stuck out of nowhere, so I had to reset it holding the power button. When it reseted, it entered safe mode and now I can't get it out. I reseted several times, uninstalled apps and I did a software factory reset. Nothing, it still starts in safe mode.
I tried to do a hardware factory reset but when it asks to confirm by pressing the power button, nothing happens when I press it.
It's getting to my nerves and I don't know what to do.
Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.

Start your device in Download Mode and flash Stock Rom. More info here:

The device starts up in Safe Mode and I can call and recieve SMS but I can't get it out of safe mode. I can't enter download mode (the phone shows 100% battery charge when connected to the PC) and I can't enter bootloader so I can't flash anything.
It's soft bricked I think
