Xperia X10 Stuck on 'Sony Ericsson' logo (boot screen)..

I was using 'MIUI Xperia by TripNaVeR v1.4.0
i decided to uninstall it because i couldn't send messages or call so then i went on xrecovery mode and did a full wipe.
Partition Tools => Format /system
Partition Tools => Format /data
Partition Tools => Format cache
Advanced Options => Wipe Delvik Cache
Advanced Options => Wipe Battery Stats
when it told me to reboot, i rebooted and then the logo got stuck.
I tried plugging my xperia x10 in the usb slots then went in Sony Ericsson PC Companion and it says that my phone isn't connected. I searched to my fullest but unfortunately, i couldn't find a solution how to fix it. for the past 2 weeks it didn't work and mum and pups couldn't do anything about it.
Sorry, but i'm just... frustrated. please please please help me.. i beg you. Well, not just me but other people that are having this problem too..

WHY... use a custom ROM, if you don't know how to handle it.. Of course it got stuck at the logo.. you format /system. There is not much more your phone could had done.
If you format everything, make sure to at least install another ROM in xrecovery, before you reboot.
I read the steps but when it says 'connect in usb slot', it wont work because when i plug my phone in my computer, it says that it isnt connected.

You need to connect it in Flash Mode, not just attach the cord.
Press and hold the back button (that's the one on the right)
and while pressing, insert the cord in the USB slot (assuming of course the usb cable is already connected on your PC).
A green light will flash steadily and the procedure should go on from there.
Ah! After you see that light, you can let go of the button!
FYI, the reason all this happened is because you formatted /system partition.
Practically, the phone is not stuck. There's just no firmware on it to load.

I dont think my x10i flash mode is working. Mine got stuck after Flashing XperiaTW rom using xrecovery. It will bootup, and then shows Android system not responding force close/wait. clicked both , shows up again . now i dont really know what to do
Just use flashtool/SEUS and flash in the latest stock firmware.
Your cases are not the worst ones we've seen in this community.
i forgot to turn debugging in applications.. my xrecovery also doesn work... is there anyway to restore original settings?? pls reply asap
Hi every one
the best way to overcome this problem is to download Sony Ericsson Update Service (sony-ericsson-update-service.en.uptodown.com) and take your phone back to it's primary status.
I had this issue..
Where my X10 starts automatically(even after pulling out the battery and putting it back again) and get's stuck at the SE log, and you won't be able to go to Flashmode to use Flashtool.
Simply, follow the instrcutions below:
1. Take out the battery.
2. Connect the usb cable to your computer.
3. While holding the back button, put the battery back.
4. You are in flashmode again, Green LED should be on.
5. Done!.
X10 - stuck on SE Logo
Hi ,
I have this problem as well, the phone is stuck on Sony Ericsson Logo. Just hangs there. I tried with flashtool to no avail, pc companion and update service. ZIP .. nothing !
It seems like it doesnt want to flash. Please help me..
In SEUS if you connect the phone with BACK pressed for 5 seconds it`ll restore to your previous state ( i think) :cyclops:

You soft bricked your phone, so follow these steps
1) Copy all important files from your MMC are copied onto your laptop (Music, snaps etc)
2) Now format your MMC (external SD card) and wipe everything clean (system cache,data,Delvik Cache) from your phone using CWM
3) Copy required ROM onto your MMC.
4) Flash the kernel and WiFi module (some WiFi modules can be flashed via CWM)
5) I usually flash WiFi module after flashing my ROM (flash WiFi module only if its required)
6) Install ROM and reboot
7) Good to go
Hopefully this helps
I have the endles sboot problem also:
I updated the phone using PC companion to the last version and still i have bootloop. And the update proces was a succes, no error ocured.
I try the Flash downgrade kernel and then the upgrade kernel but still it is on endless bootloop.
Any ideas?

[Q] Xperia Neo stuck at "SONY" logo when boot into CWM recovery

Hi everyone. Can anyone help me figure out what's the problem that i cant boot into CWM. I have Neo MT15i running FINE with stock rom ICS .587, locked bootloader and rooted. I also installed x-Parts as well as CWM 5.5 and busybox 1.20. But my problem is that my phone just cant boot into CWM recovery no matter what i did either press and release volume - continuously when "SONY" logo appears, or using x-Parts function to boot into recovery. It just ends up stuck at "SONY" logo (I waited for about 10 minutes but no respond)
You have to press Back button while booting from Sony Logo to boot into CWM.

same problem for me...xperia neo v
Hello.
I have a similar problem, if not identical. I rooted my MT15i today hoping to install a custom ROM I found in this forum.
Everything went fine. I rooted the phone and installed Clockwork Mod Recovery properly.
Then, I downloaded the rom .zip, placed it in /sdcard, made a backup of my current system, wiped data/ full reset and installed the ROM with SUCCESS, as it said in the log.
After that, I rebooted the phone and now it keep stuck in the "SONY" boot screen and won't change no matter what I do.
But I think I know why did this happen. I was following a tutorial found in another site. There was listed only to wipe data and full reset, and not to wipe danvik and cache, as I came to read after I was stuck in the boot screen.
The problem is that now I can't even get to the Clockwork Mod Recovery screen, even if I start the phone holding volume down button (or reset, or any other button the phone might have).
The only thing to do is removing the battery. After starting again, it gets stuck again in SONY screen.
When I plug the phone into my PC, nothing happens. It doesn't get recognised.
It only turns on and stops at the SONY screen again.
I wonder if there's a way to access the Clockwork Mod Recovery menu or some way to return the phone to the stock settings.
Or is it a possible brick?
Thanks for the help already.
Ps.: sorry for the long post.
First of all don't worry your device is not broken
And not every custom Rom support locked bootloader
The reason you can't access cwm because you wiped data
I think you can restore your phone by reflash firmware using flashtool

I can get the phone to conect to the PC in flashmode. I downloaded the stock firmware of Neo MT15i (v 4.1.A.0.562) and flashed it, but no luck. The phone keeps stuck in the SONY screen. Any ideas?
EDIT: actually, when I bought the phone, it came with Android 2.3, I don't remember the firmware version.

It doesn't matter which android version you flash all should work
make sure you checked those boxes in flashmode
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe apps log
No final verification
And just to know when you flashed the firmware. Does it completed successfully?

Well, I got the phone to boot. I was just trying to flash an incomplete firmware, I guess. I downloaded a new firmware I found in a rooting tutorial thread in this forum and flashed it. The phone is now working fine.
But now it's not rooted anymore. Maybe in the future I'll try to root and flash a new rom.
Thanks for the help, anyway. :laugh:
Never mind, but I suggest you unlock your bootloader if you would like to flash custom Rom

What rom were you trying to install? Is your bootloader unlocked? And you can try flashing stock firmware with flashtool to revive it...

NEO V doesn't boot
Hi,
I installed following in my Neo V MT11i
Super Jelly Bean v6.0(16th august 2013)
best kernel for sjb(fusion 5.4)
debloated updated gapps
using following link . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108632
I am using Kernel_Flasher_v2.0 to flash the image kernel. It recognises the device and shows that the kernel is flashed. But the device doesnt reboot. I root the phone through eroot software. Then I install X parts and go into recovery mode.
I wiped the phone fully, including system format.
Please guide where I am missing some crucial step.
I am using windows 8
Thanks in advance

If so then did u tried Wipe data/factory reset and clearing the cache? (This will delete all the data, be careful)

Stuck in a bootloop after unroot, Coolpad E560 (Porto/Sky mini)

Hello! I rooted my Coolpad E560, a.k.a. Coolpad or Sky Mini and everything was fine until I decided to unroot it. It immediately restarted and will not boot ever since (stuck at logo). I opened recovery mode and selected wipe data/factory reset but it didn't solve the problem, neither did wipe cache. Then I selected reboot to bootloader. "Download and Install the package? Press volume up to agree or volume down to cancel". I press volume up and then it's stuck on "Information Do not disconnect the data cable". In the end I tried to flash stock rom. The only firmware I found was (phone name).CPB and it seems like the only flashing tool that can use .CPB is YGDP. But the flashing process doesn't even begin, it gets stuck on Entering download mode... I unsuccessfully tried to enter download mode on my phone. It doesn't have removable battery, some key combinations I tried didn't work. Now I don't know what to do. Any help will be appreciated.
