You can try updating to the latest firmware possible on your location using SE PC companion or with SEUS.

You can backup first all your applications, SMS and contacts (I'm using MyPhoneExplorer from Market to do this)then try flashing using the latest Flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746&highlight=2.1.A.0.435

i have been up all night trying to look for possible solutions to my phonebook and calling errors but to no avail...could anyone instead point mo to the right direction...i would want to flash my phone and restore it to its original stock settings...whenever i try the flash tool, it seems it couldnt find the ftf file for my baseband...when i tried the flasher included for my baseband.46 it doesnt restore everythinng to its original state...

finally after almost 2 days of trial and error i finally got my phone to work...next stop to install custom firmwares...

the process com.sonyericsson.android. socialphonebook has stopped.

i doing that you say but not working market ,only say satarting download,but not download.
The next step for me would be to do a hard reset and if that didn't work then reflash the firmware.

how reflasj the firmare? my phne get android 2.1 my old firmwar1.6 also not working market
To reflash you can use SEUS or PC Companion and use the repair option.
Or you can flash a different firmware usiung flash tool and your choice of decrypted firmware.
It seems strange that it didn't work on 1.6 either. do other things like gmail and talk work ok? and what about your browser? What firmware are you running at present - is it generic or branded? can you download anything at all from the market?

i reflash with SEUS to 2.1 ,gmail and googletalk work ok,my browser is default on x10 and have a generic firmware (buid number 2.0.a.0.504) i can not download any things in market
If the reflash with SEUS doesnt work then I would try flashing with a different firmware. Are you on nordic or global? whichever you are on try flashing your phone with the other one using flashtool.
Try to see your internet settings again. Maybe you have a wrong setting
Im having the same problem. Just keeps coming up with a force close message.

Any solutions? I flashed my ATT 1.6 X-10 to 2.1 using the non-gui flash tool (only one that would work for ATT, it seems) and I had issues with market...the screen would show "downloading" but the app would not actually download and when I would go back to market and click on "my apps" all the previously selected apps would come up still downloading...I went thru the settings and tried various things and it eventually started actually downloading but am not sure what "fixed" it for sure.
Recently I reflashed using a different version of flashtool (required laptop updates) to a newer 2.1 firmware ver but it seemed to not work quite right so I just flashed back to the generic 2.1 using non-gui flashtool and it works good again but lost many of the apps. Now, again, market shows the applications downloading but the phone doesn't actually download them...I have tried most of the things I tried before that seemed to (eventually) work but have not got it to actually download apps yet (this time).
I'll try your 2 suggestions above , then reflash and see if that works but I'd like to know a solution for sure since this has happened before and i never discovered the exact fix...just tried several things and it worked eventually.
I used this Flashtool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10738467
My problem is that the Markets UI still remains the old one. It does not have that carousel looking thing. I do not see "uninstall updates" when i click on Market
maybe u should look around for a complete clean rom that u can flash which has market in it, when u done that.... and it still aint working i would say give my tutorial a try
@xoticpnai808 you should really check my tutorial

[Q] camera firmw not updated

Hi guys,
I've been looking for a solution but i couldnt find any.
I have a x10i and just updated to 2.1 with flashtool 0.2.6. after the upgrade the icon of the camera appeared flashing and dumb of me I shutted down the phone.
As a result I am on 2.1 but the camera is not working. When I open the camera application says that is not responding.
Any solution? maybe flash back to 1.6 and upgrade again? or upgrade to 2.1.1 that I just saw? can I upgrade only the camera firmw
Have to say that as I the *.ftf file downloaded I flashed again but the problem still
Before you used flashtool, what version were you on?
After you used flashtool, can you boot? make calls? Is everything fine except the camera?
Anyway, a SE Update Service or PC Companion repair is good start to get your phone working.
I was on 1.6
I just tried to update to the 2.1.1 and the problem still. Downgraded to 2.0.1 and still.
Now I am downloading the 1.6 . BTW what obsession with the rapidshare, megaupload & Co. :S are the hell of slow
Update service gets stuck (no always on the same place) and on the Pc companion the support zone just doesnt want to install. So no oficial ericsson solution for me

Why doesn't it want to install? If it says You've already got the latest software just press install. Then it will recovery your phone.

In SE PC companion when I click on the Support Zone a window appear saying "The application is not installed. This application couln't be installed. Please try again later"
can someone upload a generic 1.6 *.ftf to dropbox and share?
that would be lifesaving

just finished trying. The application is installed and opens but after 30sec with the screen black the phone reboots. It happened before with the original application. Is not the solution but thanks!
you know if I can access the firware of the camera the same way?
still a good link for a generic 1.6 may help
thanks
just found a file called camfirm.bin in /system/etc/firmware wich is 992.00K
would you mind checking the size of yours to see if it is incomplete?
any ideas of how to access/overwrite/delete this?

How to go back to 2.1?

Hy guys.
I've installed Froyo Cyanogen 6.1.3 but my phone is freezing and rebooting.

seus is sony ericsson update service.you need to first download this from the se product site.Once you install and open this application on your pc,the rest of the work is very easy and explained step by step.go for it.another thing---in future before you flash any custom rom,backup your virgin 2.1 using xrecovery so that you can always go back to this opening condition when you are troubled by the custom rom you have installed.
do press the thanks button if this helps you.
Ok, sathkartha.
I'll try it and remember to do the backup. Was my first time and i forgot to do the backup when i remembered was too late.If it works i'll post the result here and press the thanks button.
Thanks
sathkartha,
so, I've made it and followed the intructions and the message that came up for me was:
"No new software is available for your phone. Your phone already has the latest available software isntalled"
Do you have any idea what I can do from now?
Thanks
@alloha----on that screen itself,you will still see a prompt encouraging you to install--click that and move forward.
should I downgrade to 1.6 to seus works?

Thanks for the print, but it doesn't appear for me.
I'll keep trying. Any result i post here.
look at the screen which shows to me
shuold i put some archive in /system or /system/bin?
I think I see what the problem is here:
miniCM uses a modified build.prop so that neither SEUS nor PC Companion update the firmware at any moment,that's why your SEUS says that it doesn't have nay new software for you.
I'd say that instead of trying to go back to 2.1, rather try to do a clean install of any of the custom ROMs, and please do follow the instructions to the letter, most freezing and rebooting in custom ROMs happen due to not doing a factory reset before installing them.
@Akath19 i understand. I would like to go back to 2.1, make a backup and then install a custom ROM. Because I've tried to install a lot of time the custom ROM and this problem keeps boring me.
Talking about build.pro... there is some solution for it? like change this specific build.prob for another one that makes SEUS works?
ohh
you have to flash with the flashtool
because seus or other software couldn't flash it
sorry

[q] help desperatly needed

I've accidently done system format and wiped my whole phone. When I switch the phone on it sticks on the "Sony Ericsson" screen, I've tried pressing the back button hoping to get back to xrecovery but everything has gone.
I've read a few posts saying that pc companion can fix the problem but after trying that it doesn't find my phone, what has made it worse I don't have any back up stored anywhere to try fixing the problem
Can anyone please help me get my phone up and running again especially as it is my main contact to my son
Uninstall pc companion and redownload and install it,(That should sort the drivers out to recognise your phone) and if that does not work try SEUS
looks like you will have to go back to stock then use flashtool to root and reinstall xrecovery and start again...

Thanks. In the process of downloading both now. Would I be able to go back to stock using either of these as I did not have anything backed up, not even the stock rom....my rom was stock anyway only rooted to get rid of certain apps
As an alternative you can use the flashtool and flash a generic firmware. That will put a stock rom and maybe even get an updated baseband depending on which firmware you grab. Check this thread and maybe bookmark it too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Yes, either of these will put you on stock rom with the latest firmware and baseband for your region and phone.
hope you manage to sort it out...let me know if you have any problems, you can always pm if you need to

Install clockwork recovery or Root toolbox or any other root tool and click on "FIX PERMISSION" this option is available in the advanced menu somewhere
this is what i did when my apps got forced closed... It worked for me, might just work for you guys aswell!
When you flash 2.3.3 and start phone it always show force close
juat switch off phone go in recovery mode and factory resate and wipe cache and reboot your phone started
No matter from which rom u came, if u installed kpn, u need to wipe data partition/cache via recovery to make it work. That error is from google account setup process. Trust me, do a wipe data/cache and that error will gone for good.
