I have a problem with my x10i.
I was trying to use the flash tool for 2.1 from binary's thread but I failed and it was still 1.6. It got to the point where it said [finish] and then error message in the cmd. After that I tried using SEUS to update it again, the 2.1 update was available so I tried installing it.
Here is the current situation.
After installing 2.1 from SEUS, I followed the instruction to turn the phone off/take out the usb. After turning it back on, it's been half a hour and I'm still stuck at the blank screen before the SE logo shows up. I tried taking out the battery to boot into Flash Mode but that didn't work either. I was wondering if it was because the battery is near empty, but that's not the case since I was using the wallcharger for another hour on it earlier whlie it's in the blank screen state.
Can anyone point me in a direction for fixing it?
Forgot to mention, holding the power button doesn't turn it off either. I would have to remove the battery to turn it off.
Try a re-flash... use the repair function on PC Suite
the usb cable isnt turning on the phone by connecting to it while its off. i can't boot in flash mode either .
had somewhat a prob yesterday like it, my phone did turn on again. i got an other pc installed companion suite there and repaired the firmware(said it was up to date) and then after the boot i'am @ 2.1
was the other pc a 32bit? because the first time i tried using seus was on a 32bit then i bought 64 bit computer.
I'll try running it on a 32bit computer today.
Okay, so I borrowed a PC and installed PC Companion and tried to connect the phone to the computer. However the computer didn't recognize my phone at all. Perhaps this is a problem with window 7?
I also noticed that when i take the battery out and put the usb in then the battery back in, the green LED light stays on. It stays on until the phone trys to boot itself on then the LED turns off but the screen turns on. Only thing is that the screen is still blank and never went to any of the logo screens. And while the USB is plugged in, I can't turn it on by holding power. However if the usb is not plugged in, and I take the battery out and put it back in, I can hold power and it'll blink really fast for the green LED and then the phone viberates for a quick second (like it usually does when you turn your x10 on) and then blank screen and nothing else. The reason i can tell it's on w/ a blank screen and not a screen issue is because I put the phone under the table (very little light) and I can see the screen dimly lit by the back light. These are the only 2 indication I have that the hardware is working.
My biggest guess right now is that the firmware was F'D during the flash or the loader is now a goner since I can't boot into safemode or flashmode. My other conclusion so far is that while the phone is on (confirming it being on via the backlit blank screen) the usb connection goes off. Perhaps its stuck in a loop? Can anyone tell me how I can fix this?
I did searches as well.
I came across people who said their phone was stuck so they let it drain out the battery on it's own and it unstucks. Some say they waited 4-5 minutes and it worked.
So far the longest I waited was:
3 Hours(And counting) *usb & battery is plugged in but charging green LED light is not on*
or tried to leave it alone for 8 hours without battery or usb plugged in.
I'm hoping someone has come across the same problem and had a fix or one of the DEVS might've experianced this problem while trying to test their loaders/etc?
Nothing to do with Windows 7, I and others have no issues on Windows 7 x64. Run the attached file and delete anything to do with SE and try reconnecting in flash mode whilst running SEUS. Post a screen shot of the program if you're unsure what to delete.
Okay right now I am on the 2nd computer with the 32bit OS that I tried to connect to earlier. However i was unable to find a DEVID that was registered on Nov 1. which should be the case since I have never connected my phone with this computer ever before.
I was unsuccessful at booting into flash mode as well. I would put the battery in. then hold the back button and plug the usb. However the phone would not auto boot like it does normally when you plug in the usb so I held on till it did because I thought it might be lagging, however it still didnt boot into flash mode.
I have a baddddd feeling now
Did you read my post?
this is the screen shot of the program you told me to run. It was ran on the computer that I borrowed today, it was never connected with my phone before.
Thanks for helping me ^___^

No worries, but you'll have to post a better screenshot than that, can hardly see it.
Sorry about that, this is my first time uploading a image on xda.
I re-uploaded via imageshack

Yeah as you've not connected it before there is nothing there to remove, and seems like you've already tried everything. Not sure what to suggest, are you on a contract with insurance?
Nope, I got my phone in USA before it came out in NA. I had it imported via a dealer.

I successfully flashed my X10 with 2.1 and had no issues. I believe last week I got the multitouch update from SE. No problems. Today however, I had a major problem. I was testing a program called Blacklist by calling my phone from another phone to see if it works. When I went to slide the slide over to send the call to voicemail, the phone buzzed for about two seconds and shut off. When I tried to turn the phone back on it buzzed like it should and that was it, nothing. I updated the phone with the PC Companion, the Update service, and it updated and reinstalled the software according to the program but still wouldn't turn on. I tried to reflash the phone using the X10 Flash tool from this site; it flashed successfully but still nothing. I even left the battery out of the phone while I was at work; still nothing happened. So with all this, any ideas???
Does anybody recognize this and have any suggestions?
I would contact the dev who created Blacklist.
I don't think it was Blacklist that caused it. Even when I reflashed the OS it still had the same problem. My friend mentioned about flashing the baseband. But I'm trying to see what this forum has to say.
If it was the OS, then SEUS or PC Companion "repair software" should work. It basically wipes your phone and does a fresh install, which would fix any errors you created.
Also, try this... Remove the battery and leave the back off the phone. Then plug the phone into the charger/wall with the battery out. Wait for a minute or longer, and then insert the battery while it is still plugged in. Wait a minute, and then try and turn the phone on. If it doesn't work, try altering the steps a bit like starting with the phone plugged in, or plugging it into usb port on your PC rather than the wall. I haven't had to do this myself, but I read somewhere that this works when the x10 dies.
I hope this helps. Let us know how it turns out.
I just tried this and still nothing. I am going to try to downgrade to 1.6 and see what happens.
I downgraded to 1.6 and still nothing.
Forgive me if these questions appear naive or insulting....
Sometimes (actually most times) it is something simple, so let's back up. Since it vibrates when pressing power on button, it would appear the phone's power circuit is functional. How much charge did you have left in the battery when this happened? What happens with the LED notification light when you plug it in to charge? Basically, are you sure the battery isn't dead or worse bad? A red/pink LED notification would be a sign the battery is charging/working.
**If it is not charging check to see if the USB cable or port damaged? I think my usb cable quit working after my first flash. I thought it was my phone until I read about usb cables suddenly not working after flashing... weird? Now I use an HTC cord.
use x10 flash unbricker it solved all my problems when my phone would work.
Hey i had this problem (but i dont have the MT update yet ) but it was my memory card stopping the X10i to not turn on :s try a new memory card XD
@agentJBM
I thought about the same thing last night, so I plugged the phone into the charger for the night. The battery feels warm like it's been charging. When I plug the charger in the green light comes on for a bit then turns off, which is normal. However, still the same issue.
@soldier33 Do you have a link???
@Si-The-Spike I thought about this before. I pulled the memory card and the sim card out and tried to see what would happen, nothing.
I at least know this much: the phone is able to be put into flash mode, and the phone is able to accept a charge. I just can't figure out why it can't boot.
I cant seem to find a working lnik anymore. So ill upload the one I have saved. Hoepfully it works.
Much appreciated
sorry it taking so long got very slow upload speed just 20kb. and the file size is 130mb
here you go zshare.net/download/87207469347a26f2/
Thanks. I'll try it out tonight.
Unfortunately it did not work. I'm completely lost on what happened.
Try completely uninstalling SEUS, PC Companion, and Flash Tool & firmware from your PC. Do a fresh install of SEUS and then try to update/repair software. I read it may take 4 or so attempts, especially if you are having battery trouble.
I've never done it but there is a way to open in safe mode as well by pressing menu button while turning phone on. Try searching that as well.
So I noticed that the micro usb on my x10a is failing. It's very hard to get it to charge, I have to wiggle the connector forever. I decided to change back to stock and go into a store. Well, I never got that far.
This morning, while pretty much still asleep, I managed to brick my phone...somehow. I've bricked it before, but it's always been simple to fix. I've load three different roms on it over the last year and haven't had a single problem fixing any errors.
Today's predicament is as follows. If I attempt to power on, it bootloops the white SE logo. I tried flashtool, SEUS, and PCC and none will recognize my phone. When asked to, I uplug the phone, make sure it's powered off, hold the back button, and plug in. The led on the phone lights up green. I sit and wait holding the button and nothing happens. Eventually my phone displays the white SE screen and then goes to the charging screen and just sits there and charges. The software never recognizes my phone and keeps searching. From what I can tell my computer (windows 7) can't recognize my phone.
I can access xRecovery and have a rom I could load from my SD card, but it keeps saying failed and it can't mount the SD card.
any help?

From X10i on ROM : "T.E.A.M. v3.5"
using XDA premium
Last night I bought a brand new Streak 5 from a local guy. Box was sealed, no mention of refurb, inner contents were sealed.
I didn't have time to test it and the guy I bought it from said he had gotten it a while back from a work raffle and that it had been sitting in a drawer in his house - I have no reason not to trust that he was lying to me.
When I actually got time to unbox it, I popped the battery in and tried to turn it on. The menu buttons lit up briefly and then when out. The screen never came on. Since then, it has been completely unresponsive.
I've tried to charge it with the wall charger, as well as my PC. Neither seem to be doing anything and my PC doesn't recognize it - even with Dell's software installed.
I've tried to take out the battery and hook it up to the wall charger and my PC to get it to turn on.
I've removed the Micro SD.
There is no SIM card in it currently.
I ordered another battery and an external battery charger. They should be here in a few days. I have the current battery rigged up and charging with a spliced USB cord.
What else can I do? I feel like I've done everything "simple" thus far and I'm a little nervous when it comes to utilities like Streakflash.
I'm coming over from the iPhone world and my Android use has been limited at best. Any help is appreciated.
What happens on the device itself after having had a chance to charge?
Does it light up when you press the power button, or nothing at all?
Thanks for the response.
There is no indication that it's charging. The screen doesn't come on, or even flash. The buttons do not light up. However, I don't believe it's the cable or the connector since my PC responds with an unrecognized device -- "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" prompt. I also managed to get my PC to tell me that the device "wasn't plugged in."
I've tried to get some response out of it in every possible combination regarding the buttons, battery, back cover, microSD, and where it's plugged in. It just sits there. No lit screen, no lit menu buttons, nothing.
If it helps, I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. I've installed every possible thing I could find regarding the Dell drivers and my OS.
It sounds like your device somehow got shipped without having all the software installed onto it.
Can you provide more information about the device itself, such as it's manufacture date or any other info on the box/device labels? Devices getting shipped half baked like that isnt exactly common.
This sounds like a legitamate time to use QDL tool to reflash it, but I cant provide any help with that as I've never used it.
Can you use QDLTool if your computer doesn't even recognize it?
The date on the label is 10/12/2010.
If it's displaying as "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" that's a sign that it should be able to get into upload mode as that's what the driver qdl tool uses I believe.
It's likely out of warrentee already, so you prob have to fix it on your own if at all.
I can't get it to respond to anything I do. It's very disheartening. I really, really wanted this phone, too.
I'm downloading the latest version of Ubuntu. I'm going to see if I can make any headway through Linux.
I can't get QDLTool to pick-up the device, either. I get an error message when I try to use it and scanning for it does nothing.
Did you install the driver bundled with it properly?
If it still doesnt detect it after that it's likely a dud
use qdltool, you can download it from here
http://www.box.com/s/rj9xd5tl7v5amimbm3youll need to make sure you have all drivers installed though, info is on this forum somewhere,
once installed run the software on pc you should see a big box with "run" on it, click run then connect phone by holding volume up and connecting usb then qdltool will do rest from there
when i got my both my dell streak it was the same deal. first one came exactly as how you described it. I put in the battery, made SURE THAT THE CONNECTORS ARE lined up on the back case, and then tried to power it on. NOTHING.
It seems even if the battery was fully charged, the only real way to turn it on was to connect the streak to the power adapter and then press hold down the on button. WHen the device finally gave me the dell logo, it would just sit there stuck. So i took out the battery, and redid it. Then went into fastboot mode (hold camera and power) and it wouldnt detect the touch screen. It seems that the touch scree was faulty and hence it would remain stuck on the dell logo. I tried to calibrate the touch screen a few times, all failed. Then finally for one time it worked, and the touch screen came back to life. Shortly after though upon booting into the old stage 1.6, it restarted and the touch screen failed again.
So i sent it back to rogers and they gave me a replacement phone. Same deal, when you first put in the battery and the case it wouldnt start no matter what. Only upon plugging it into the power adapter then it starts up. However this new one had a functional touch screen.
1) check out the touch screen by using the fastboot, or stock recovery. If you get error messages, it means your screen is toast most likely and then you might have to open her up and see if all the connections are lined up
2) if it doesnt boot at all, try connecting it to the power adapter first and then after about 30 seconds power it on. You should be able to see the dell logo unless as the guys stated before the software is hosed.
3) if the software is totally hosed, tried to get it into fastboot mode or recovery and see if you can reflash the device.
something like that...
Thanks for the comments, guys.
As of now, it's still in the same position it was in. It doesn't respond to any combinations of buttons, battery in/or, or plugged into the wall/pc.
I'm assuming that the situation it's in currently is what's preventing any sort of legitimate connection between the phone and my PC.
My last shot is a battery and external charger that should be here next week.
Hi i purchased the phone in January the phone has been working fine no problems at all until last night. I was playing football manager which i imagine is quite a heavy game to play but something i do regularly and have no issue usually. i got a text so i switched to whatsapp and the phone crashed, so i did a hard reset holding the power button down and it booted backup but then crashed again immediate.
tired to do the hard reset again but it just went to a black screen and haven't been able to turn it back on again since.
so basically the phone is non responsive to anything i'm not getting a charging sign or any sort of sign the phone is working no vibrations sound nothing. the battery was on about 80% before it went of so pretty confident that's not dead.
things i've tried so far:
Hard reset holding down the power button
boot select holding down the power button and volume down button.
I've been trying to connect it to my laptop now this is a slight positive but where i've come up stuck, the laptop makes the sound as if its been connected then 5 seconds later it will disconnect then reconnect disconnect and so on.
I've changed the power setting for usb ports no change, i've tried holding down the power button on the phone as to reset it incase it stuck in boot mode or something but no change.
My next step is to take the back of the phone and remove the battery for 30 seconds or so. but with the phone still being under warranty i'm a
bit reluctant to do that plus i'm pretty confident its a software issue.
Update: after deciding to open it up i've disconnected the batter and the screen plugged it in and still getting the same connection/disconnection issue. it will connect then disconnect within 5 seconds max thne connect and disconnect. thought disconnection the battery may do the trick as i haven't tried to flash it or anything like that just gone wrong on it's own. I've now voided my warrenty but want to get this sorted anyone got any idea as to what could be causing the issue?
Thank you for taking the time to read it all and suggestions are appreciate thank you

Thanks for replying, that's what I've been trying to do but the phone won't stay connected to a pc. I connect to the pc and it will disconnect within 5 seconds then reconnect disconnect just constantly doing that. I thought Maybe if I unplug the battery it may get it out of that loop but even with the battery disconnected as soon I connect it to usb it still does the same loop. It hasn't got any lights or vibrations, to look at the phone it's non responsive thee only response I can get it the computer connecting and disconnecting constantly.

That mean that, your phone is waiting for flash and when it don't get it it just restart and do the same think. It happended to me when i flashed wrong twrp. Just select firmware in sp-flash tool and click download. Than plug your phone into your pc and wait for next restart. If nothing happens you will have to download mediatek drivers.
(My english is really bad, i really sorry) Hello good evening. Excuse me, did you find any solution? Did you request a guarantee from UMIDIGI? What happens is that I was charging the phone and started watching YouTube, in an instant the phone went off and did not want to turn on definitively. It does not respond to my PC or the charger.
I clarify that the entry is good, I had 40% and I set about the task of looking for more problems of this style and I found two similar to mine, and yours would be the third problem that I see of this nature. Should I contact support and ask for a guarantee? I don't know what to do. Thanks.
Hi to all the XDA community,
It looks like that I am a new member but I have been for several year on XDA (but I lost all the log in details).
The problems I am facing is with a Samsung J6 that my mother in law gave me because one morning didn't show anything on the screen. These are the steps I did:
1. Screen is black, first thought lets charge it. I kept on the charger for ages. When I got back home I was sure that the phone is fully charged (it shows it on my usb hub). Tried to switch it on - Result, nothing is coming up to the screen
2. Hard reset by pressing power button and volume up or down - Result, nothing is coming up to the screen
3. Connect the phone on a laptop to check if the laptop recognises it. The laptop is doing the noise that something is connected and start installing drivers. Seconds later the device disconnected and connected again and this loop of connection and disconnection is happening for ever -Result nothing, only question marks.
4. Thought that is a hardware failure and since the screen doesn't shows anything I bought a new screen. I didn't by an OLED, I bough the cheap one. - Result, nothing is coming up to the new screen
5. I disconnected the battery and install the screen again connect the battery and try the same steps 1 & 2. - Results the same as the steps 1 & 2.
For me it looks like that the phone is bricked (I forgot to mention that my mother in law gave it to someone else before she pass the phone to me, no trust ) and the other guy probably tried to change the ROM or something similar. The boot loop that the phone is doing when I connected on my laptop is not normal (noise of connection and after 1sec noise of disconnection).
Additionally, I am not sure if the screen is working and I am on dilemma, do I have to return the screen to the seller of keep it until find out what is the problem with the phone. Maybe the screen is the faulty part that cause another issue. When I connect the phone on the laptop without the screen is doing the boot loop noise of connection/disconnection. I found out that when the phone is connected on the laptop and I press the power button the disconnection noise is delayed by couple more seconds.
Any help or guidance will be more than welcome.
Obtain the Stock image for your fone from samsung, load it into the version of Odin they suggest, but dont start it yet.
Disconnect fone from pc, and turn it off.
Start Odin flashing
plug fone in
Mb a few steps dif since I last flashed a samsung, but this will fix your fone.
Make sure you got the samsung driver installed in your pc

Thanks for your response.
Samsung drivers are already installed.
The problem that I am encountering is that I can put the phone on download mode. Firstly because I can't see anyhting on the screen and secondly because my laptops can see the device. I tried different cables too but nothing worked.
Since the phone cannot be recognised by the PC, the Odin app cannot see it either.
