Hi!
I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. I've installed a cm9 on my phone, and i like to know, how can i install cm7, or any other GB based rom on this rom. (i've installed fxp kernel as well)
Thank you for your help!
Just install Your desired ROM and flash proper kernel. That's all

I forgot to make a backup from my stock system, and now i can't install any 2.3 based rom, because xrecovery don't allow that because of the ICS.
Is there a possibility to download stock rom and kernel, and flash it to the phone?
Why not. Search for the firmware for your phone and flash through flashtool following the on screen instructions. Cant ttell you exact build number because im an arc user using this now because the USB port is broken.

So when i understand it good, then with flashtool i can flash any GB based rom on the ICS as well. Can i make it from a "zip" rom? When i flash a cm7, i don't need to change the fxp kernel.

No what im saying is that you wanna return to stock dont you. So I told you to flash a stock gb ftf using flashtool. But you do NOT flash custom Roms using flashtool, you boot into recovery and flash. And no, you can't turn a ftf into a zip
Edit; if I understood you correctly you wanted to flash cm7 ddont you... its simple... just flash the kernel through flashtool then boot into recovery and wipe everything and flash tthe rom. No need to flash stock first because the recovery is bundled in the kernel!

I solved the problem, the phone worked properly for months, but now i can't switch on the phone. The green led blinks, the phone vibrate one time and than nothing happens. I tried to flash some firmwares, but i can't made it. Flashtool wrote that flashing and nothing happens. I tried with Omnius as well, but the software can't read flash memory and can't flash anything. I think the phone is "hard bricked". Can anyone help me to save my phone?
It sounds like your battery is dead....

I tried it with an LG GT540 battery, but the effect was the same. But with the original battery the phone didn't vibrate yet, just blink the red notification LED 3 times, and that's all. I tried to charge the battery (not with PC, with charger) and the phone did a strange thing. First when the charger attached, the RED LED blinking and after some time it turned to GREEN and stop blinking, just lighted. After some time the green LED turns off and then nothing lights.
In my environment nobody has X10 phone, that's why I can't try another original X10 battery, but I think with the LG battery must have work as well, when the battery is the failure.
Hello I did have had this problem aswell a while ago. I have had the phone in cwm recovery while doing a backup I fell asleep next day won't turn on only vibrate 1 time and 3 red blinks after it..
I really was desperate I tried many methods even flashed a kernel with offline charging which I thought was the trick but not that I realy now off.
I did notice i could get in recovery if I connect phone in flashmode and leave it till it reboots it's own should happen within 40 secs I guess.
After I saw that it could do that why it's not booting... I did some digging but I am not sure but I guess it's a file or binary (batterystats.bin) in data/system directory somewhere which keeps track of your battery and even if you plug new full battery it simply thinks it drained of the previous saved info of your old battery. (hope someone can confirm this because I didn't find any info such about but it should make sense if you ask me)
But in the end I used Sony PC companion to reapair it from there and it worked only one weird thing I needed to do was switching from USB power adapter to PC USB to have it connect in flashmode strangely.
And after that I only needed to root etc. again.

Hi!
I have found the solution last time, and it works for a while, but i don't know how.
But now we were on holiday, and I forgot the charger, and the phone was switched off for 3 days, and the problem came out again.
I have an RC car which have a LiPO charger, I made an own "connector" to that and I charged the battery with that.
Could you please tell me, how you switched from "USB power adapter to PC USB" when the phone don't switch on?
Thanks!

DON'T KEEP FLASHING WITH FLASH TOOL THEN!
PEOPLE KEEP DOING THINGS LIKE THIS WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THEIR DOING
Now connect the phone to SEUS and reflash stock Rom, I bet phone will be fine.
Edit: also ensure your battery has over 50% charge before connecting to update service. Just leave on charge for a while even if it keeps restarting.

Did your X10 break mechanically?
You should take it to the shop.
Hey I feel for you.
I never had that before but I would download pc suite 6
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Sony-Ericsson-PC-Suite-Download-16854.html
install take battery out of phone.
select repair and choose your x10 model and follow the prompts. do not plug usb cable and battery until it tells you to.
now put in battery and hold down back button and plug usb in and hope it locks into flash mode. If it works the softwaree will repair your loader and install default rom and you'll be good to go.
Did you overdrive the cpu at all?
Let us know how you make it
good luck
Buddy,
if you want to use flashtools do it in the right way. First download the last firmware .67.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733
Copy .ftf file at firmware folder of flashtools.
flash your xperia
root it and everything should be fine....
don't forget to wipe personal data
thanx buddy, il try n let u knw

Ok..been there.only difference being my x10 continuously vibrated when put it to charge. And never started.
Here is what I suggest.
1. Your x10 battery must be very low by now as u did multiple flashing. Take battery out for few min. Then put it in and keep phone for charging for couple of hours.even if green led doesn't light up.
2. Download SEUS not the pc suit. And install the firmware again.
3. If it doesnt help. Again run seus..and this time KEEP back button pressed for complete process.

Hey guys,
I have an x10i that just went dead one day, I thought it needed a software re-install so I did it. Now it wont turn on and I just get a quick green blink and a vibrate when I turn it on. Ive flashed it 10 times via sony update too and pc companion and flash tools. I dont know what to do, any help would me much appreciated.
Download SEUS from Sony and flash. Make sure it is fully charged and make sure you are using the right USB cable and try using several different USB ports on your computer if the first one doesn't work.

Thanks for the response, I have a fully charged battery and just re-flashed with still no luck. What did you mean about the "right usb cord" ?
Thanks again.
I mean reflashed with SEUS (not PC Companion) and by right USB cord, I mean the one that came with the phone. Or if you have the possibility, try another one.
Tried with 2 different usb cords and on 2 different cpus. I think Im S.O.L
One more question, after a flash how long does it take for the xperia to boot up?
During a flash with SEUS it tells you when the phone is rebooting....same with the Flashtool.
Screen turns on...still black...then Sony logo, then your bootlogo followed by desktop.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmX-IYNYqL8
Is it successfully flashing using SEUS or flashtool? Does it actually flash and then not boot? What does it say when you flahs using the flashtool?
But again, if the flashtool isn't working, you are going to have to use SEUS to get back to scratch. Run it as Admin...let it boot up and do nothing to the phone for at least 2 minutes. Do not swipe or move a thing....let it settle down.
Some of you people who ask for help really don't provide much information at all.
To me it looks like a wrong firmware problem... version you have installed isn't the same as kernel.
I would flashtool....root....turn off phone....SEUS full reflash....

When the flash finishes up it says to turn on the device and the start up may take some time, Ive let it sit for hours and still nothing. IDK what the hell is wrong with it.
K well I give up. Ive tried 3 more times using a cpu with xp and still the same thing.
If any one else has had this problem please let me know.
looks like the faulty motherboard issue to me, some users are experiencing this problem, if you have warranty get a new phone if don't then i don't know what else can you do :/

You have a faulty xrecovery installed mate!
Use SEUS to repair. Flashtool to root.
Once done, let me know. I have a safe, simple way of installing xrecovery (that works).

Hi mate thanks alot for helping me!
Just to let you know..I used the Flashtool couple of times before and it always worked. (even it said that it worked when I did backup)
I still got some questions before I do what you told me:
When I will use SEUS to repair - will it install the stock rom on my device?
Do you think that the flashtool did backup my current version and data?
and..after I'll install xrecovery again..will I have my last "restores"? (will I be able to restore?) because the info there might be more expensive to me than the device itself.
Thanks alot again!! I will start working on it as soon as you will answer me please again A.S.A.P.

Ups backup is required for ur pc so that in case ur current goes off in midway you dont endup in bricking ur fone.
Yes ftf needs to be placed inside firmwire folder.
Open flashtool.re.keep it running.
Shut down your phone ,connect the data cable to phone,keep the back button pressed and insert the data cable to usb port. Your led will turn green. Goto flash and browse firmwire folder to select the ftf file.
Enjoy flashing!!!

i cannot shut down my phone because its turning on and off automaticly till SE screen..
i figured out how to flash by conecting in without the battery and, press back button while puting on the battery (i hope it will work)
"flashtool.re.keep" -what this means?
but my main problem now is that i cant know what is my battery status (you need at least 50%- so i cant flush untill i find a solution for that..)
any help please??

I mean, ups is required so that evem your power supply/electricity goes off, you can carry on your work.
You can use external battery charger to charge your battery only.
Before flashing,pull out your battery...as you said.
Last resort: if all fails, go to se service center, they will repair it. They use the same pc companion. When i tried to flash my fone earlier,i was a dumb fella. I bricked it. Took it to service center and got it fixed.
Before flashing, watch doomlord's video of flasing at least 4 times. Then read the instructions and flash, keep the video running and pause at required places. This is how i flashed successfully on next instance.

Hi mate if you think you backed up properly from xrecovery and it still in sd card, use card reader to retrieve it to pc. The file should be under sdcard/xrecovery/backup/xxxxx.zip. then try recover it from working phone with xrecovery. Hope this help n good luck.

I mean, ups is required so that evem your power supply/electricity goes off, you can carry on your work.
You can use external battery charger to charge your battery only.
Before flashing,pull out your battery...as you said.
Last resort: if all fails, go to se service center, they will repair it. They use the same pc companion. When i tried to flash my fone earlier,i was a dumb fella. I bricked it. Took it to service center and got it fixed.
Before flashing, watch doomlord's video of flasing at least 4 times. Then read the instructions and flash, keep the video running and pause at required places. This is how i flashed successfully on next instance.
CheersS!

Hi everyone,
I flashed incorrect kernel for my baseband and broke my x10 now it just stuck at se logo. I would just go into recovery but I'm pretty sure the charegmon file thats on my system at the moment is not monitoring the back button.
so no recovery
Phone is also not going into flashmode so i cant use flash tool to flash a new rom with correct kernel etc.
so no flash mode
Usb seems to be broken aswell since before i flashed incorrect kernel it would not charge any ideas on what i can do if anything.
so usb broken
my next port of call would be to send it in for repair on usb but prob not to sony center as its not stock and therefore void of warranty
Already have new phone and upgrade due (probably going to get s3 but would like to get this phone working too)
( When i switch on it vibrates once but no leds )
Thanks

or repair using PCC or SEUS.

You can try flashing stock ftf file download from link in my signature
To go in flash mode:
Take battery out
Connect your phone to pc via usb cable
Press back button continuously and insert battery simultaneously
Green led should go on

I was using XZXperience 2 on my Sony Xperia S, and then sony companion detected that i had firmware 6.1.A.1.45 and 6.1.A.55 was available, so just to give it a try, I installed that update, but that is a failed update, it says unfortunately music player stopped working, or unfortunately xperia keyboard stopped working etc. The main problem is that my system does not recognize my XS anymore, it says USB Device Not Recognized, so I cant connect it to Flashtool or PC Companion for repair. The Sad part is that I cant even connect it in Flash Mode, I tried a hard reset by using power button and volume up buttons, but no use. I should mention that once it recognized my phone when i turned off my laptop and removed its battery too, after restarting both phone and laptop, flashtool detected that phone was connected with USB Debugging OFF, though it was on, but as a try, I unchecked USB Debugging and then checked it again, and it worked. Now my Xperia S was connected in USB debugging mode, I tried to install busybox, rooted it, and tried to install CWM recovery,flashtool said that busy box was installed and phone was rooted, but it could not install recovery and I used another tool to install recovery,which had a bat file and it installs recovery automatically. But it didnt. After restarting my phone, the same issue appeared again, My PC does not recognize my Xperia S, tried previous procedure several times, but no use. Cant even repair it as my set cant go in flash mode. What can I do? have I bricked my Xperia S? I`m in Pakistan and there is no official Sony Mobile franchise as they dont launch their flagships in Pakistan. Please help me, considering I`m used to with rooting,flashing etc. How can I connect my phone in flash mode? Thank you.
Thanx

It looks like another strike from the productors. They usually send you malicious updates which cause your device to stop working. This only happens to rooted phones which run custom roms. And since the rooted users only flash their roms in zip format, sending an OTA update patch(designed for stock rom) to a custom rom can only lead to a malfunction. I am not sure whether or not sony did that on purpose, but the truth is that after installing a custom rom NEVER do OTA updates(unless they are from the rom's developer).
If you want an update check your rom's thread and there may be new flashable versions.
As for making your device work, the only thing you can do is to call technical support or go to a phone service(in my country they are called gsm services, and they fix mostly everything, both hardware and software. Some even claim to be able to fix water damage) but given that your warranty is voided, you will have to pay for the reparations. I guess they will only do a re-soft(delete everything, and install the stock version, you may lose your root, i am not sure here.)
I hope this helps, this is how we fix things like this in our country, so it will work in your case too, hopefully.

Thanx for your advice. I was almost hopeless, but after spending continous 16 hours, I`m now able to get a solution. I got another data cable, removed battery of my laptop, and made a hard reset to my phone, and after 10-15 min I tried again, and Thanx GOD, it detected my phone, so I hurriedly start repair my phone option and connected my phone in flash mode which was successful and that was not less than a miracle, because i`ve been repeating same procedure and it was not working, this time luckily it worked, now i`m using stock rom with firmware 6.1.A.2.55. Now I would either wait for official Sony JB Update or I would flash a custom ROM XZXperience 2, which I found awsome, as it had no bugs, and it improved battery and sound quality was significantly imrpove + Bravia Engine 2 with improved graphics. I would ask users to not to give up hope, there is always a solution to every problem.

Get a new data cable, fortunately almost all phone now a days have same data cable, u can try data cable of some HTC, Samsung, Blackberry or even Iphone`s data cable. Secondly, u must turn off your PC, and remove its power source, if it is laptop then also remove its battery. Then after 5-10 minutes, turn on your PC and connect the phone. Also try installing drivers, which u can by using PC Companion. You can also install drivers by using FlashTool. Download it and extract it, then go to the installation folder and look for folder "Drivers" open it and u will see an exe file. Just run it and select Xperia S and follow the instructions.
maybe not new usb cable sometimes usb port is broken
Hey, I had the same problem a few time ago, you can try to restore with flashtool, if you can still get in to flash mode

You need to flash official stock rom to boot up

Since you CAN'T use custom kernels with locked bootloader (and so, no cm10)
You only need to flash stock rom and then relocking your bootloader

I am also having the same problem
I have sony Xperia S. I updated to the latest stock firmware version(6.2.B.1.96). after this update I rooted my phone using old kernel .200 and update the firmware's kernel again to stock after that I locked the boot loader again. Now I can't use memory stick that I used to use before with OTG cable. And now, if I am trying to enter flash mode by pressing volume down key, the led turn green for a while only about 10 sec while this was happening, my pc say that USB device not recognized. So, now I can't use flashtool or sony update service tool(SUS) as well.
Now I am using stock .96 rom with no error but I want to install CWM and also want to unlock boot loader again to test some custom roms.
Pls help me what I have to do and what should. I am now in Delhi.

To unlock the bootloader you need to enter fastboot (blue led) with vol+ during the boot, not vol-
Or you can also reboot the phone from adb with
adb reboot bootloader
If phone still doesn't stick to fastboot, it has to be a driver problem
There are lots of guide on the procedure (which is really hard on windows 8)

I can access fastboot mode but I can't access flash mode. pc said that device not recognized. so, I think it is device error.

Bricked my phone - please help!
Hi,
I think I bricked my Xperia S. I already had cyanogen 10 on my phone, so I thought I could just flash the new Cyanogen 11 4.4.2 ROM and GAPPS over top. I followed the instructions but I skipped the Fastboot step. I cleared the cache and system and then went ahead with the ROM and GAPPS. Once the ROM and GAPPS were installed, I selected "Reboot" and the phone turned off and now it won't boot at all. If I hold the power button, I get a faint vibration and if I hold the up volume and power I get the 3 vibration sequence but no boot. Please help!
