Hello great people of XDA. Ok I have a major problem. I'm not sure what classification my phone state is in, but this is the issue. I turn it on it loads up and displays the Sony, xperia and the existenz logos. But after all this it freezes up at the purple wave. Tried booting into recovery no go. So now I've tried to flash it, here is another issue. When I try to get it into flash mode first the notification light turns green for a split second and then turns off completely. But I still try anyways, now flash tool will say device connected through flash mode yet it will not read the data of the device at all, so I'm like ok no problem I'll see if I can bypass this by inputting the actual phone in the flash menu. So I do that select the stock file and try to flash, it gets stuck on reading device. I am wanting to maybe use the flashboot mode but I don't know how to use that mode. Sooooooooo what do I do because I've beaten myself trying to figure this all out, so can someone point me in the right way. Also if I need to clarify more of this issue please let me know. Also I am using Windows 10 already ran into issues figuring out how to use drivers, but I fixed that.
Have you made sure its charged?
I maybe wrong but I am pretty sure you have to put it into fastboot mode first (blue light) then flashmode to use Flashtool.
tried sony pc companion?

Ok I'm like going crazy here, I've tried and tried and yes tried some more. There is no way at all I am going to get this phone in flashmode it is am absolutely no go. So can I be pointed somewhere that I can just use flashboot because I can get into that mode no problems, I just don't know where the correct files are. Thank you for your time.

The answer is very simple.SCREW WINDOWS 10.
Just use another pc with windows 7,manually install xperia z2 drivers and do the drill with the flashtool.
Thank me when your done.
Turn off Windows 10 driver signature enforcement and then install the drivers again.

That's not the problem, I'll admit that was an issue at the beginning but I was able to install drivers. So it's not a driver issue.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do? Please
Just use the sony companion, it will work, had the same issue. If for some reason it fails, use windows 7 instead.

Even if you have "the lastest software installed" you can reinstall it.

The new flash tool 0.2.5, will flash both 1.6 and 2.1. It works a little different, you will need to read through 1st.
ive tried the new flash tool and the old. neither work. The old one flashes but same problem but new one wont even let me select the firmware to flash so i cant even try it out properly. and sues just lets me exit it doesnt let me repair like usual

1. Try PC companion.
2. Read this guide.
You need to create the ftf file from the sin files, under advanced see bundle creation.
Read the how to.
pc companion wont work as I need to have usb storage but my phone wont even turn on. I have created the ftf files and now flashing, hopefuly it works.
still the same . could it be that the cable got disconnected half way through the process? sorry i forgot to mention this. My brother pulled it out. am i doomed?

No you are not doomed. Calm down
1. Repair using SEUS (even if it says you have the latest software, reinstall it)
2. If that does not work, try PC companion.
3. If that does not work then use the flash tool. You can use the old version if the new one is not working out for you.
Before you do all of the above, take out the battery and wait 10 seconds. Then, reinstall the battery and try the SEUS. Good luck!
the thing is sues wont letme repair it just says exit. Normally you can repair but now it just says exit.

OK. Then try the older version of the flash tool. You can find it here.
Does it also say install? If so, press that button. If that doesn't work install PC Companion and try that method.
thank you very much everyone for the help. Its finally working. I used the flash unbrick and its fixed im so happy i thought that my money went down the drain.

Glad it's sorted out. Take deep breaths now and enjoy your phone!
My Xperia X10 is currently not working (see previous thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993785) and I still haven't been able to fix it.
I'm trying to use Flashtool to flash the generic X10 Firmware to my phone although
it's taking up to 4+ hours and then my phone battery dies and the flash is unsuccessful.
Why is Flashtool taking so long to flash a firmware to my X10? I've tried a few different computers and still the same problem.
Please Help. Thank you.

I cannot access my phone as of now, it's pretty much a brick. Holding the on button brings only a vibrate and thats it.
what about flashing a rom that you know worked on your phone, making sure you flash the right Baseband for that particular rom first.
EDIT: Sorry just read through you posts and you have probably tried this if you have flashed a rom to it!

Is it possible to turn USB Debugging on without accessing the device??
not assuming you're silly. but you are making sure you have your finger firmly on the back button when you plug in the phone when flashing yeah? the simplest are often the ones that get you.

Read previous thread in original post.
The phone has crashed for some reason whilst using the FreeX10 Beta4 Rom and I cannot access the phone. It charges fine although I cannot turn on/access my phone.
not sure why the flash is taking so long. attempt to flash a different firmware possibly? Also do you have the latest flashtool?
Impossible to brick so you're not out of luck yet. Try flashing with latest flashtool 2.9.1
I'll attempt now with the Flashtool 2.9.1 beta. It's a shame that as soon as they unlock the bootloader my X10 decides to stop working.
EDIT:
'turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging' - It's impossible to access my phone to turn on USB debugging and unknown sources. What do I do now?
bump, anyone??
Attempt repairing your phone via Sony Ericsson Update Service. If that fails put a compatible basebrand and firmware on your phone. Make sure user data is wiped

Sony Ericsson Update Service does not recognise the product.
Not that I haven't attempted this but I put a compatible baseband and firmware and it took 7 hours in which it only flashed 4 items and then the rest flashed instantly which the phone displays blinking red light.
It's not working. Whats wrong???
Bump for resolution.

Try to use SEUS to repair phone if you can't boot your phone. Do not use PC Companion cause' it will try to detect your phone everytime you use it but your phone can't boot so PC Companion now useless. If you can't repair your phone, you have to bring it to SE service.

It will not detect your phone dude. You must select your phone from the list supported. It will tell you to plug your phone in while holding BACK key and after searching for update, you will have a notice about update or repairing.

:The point of this thread.
Find a way to get flash mode to stay active longer, Gives you more time to work and experiment"
The point of basing it on on the newer driver is that there may be something in them that will give us access to Fastboot"
Hopefully use that to get to the boot loader.
:--
I noticed today that there is a bug in the x10 flash driver that forcefully ejects the device from flash mode after a delay if it does not get initialized.
I am looking for someone that can make that driver stop ejecting the device.
"This is for real.."
Do not spam here "there is method to my madness"
Perhaps even act more like the driver used to unlock the newer phones.
But for the x10.
The file i attached may be useful.
It ejects when flash mode isn't used i think.

please just listen to me.

Just a note but you may want to mention which version of the flash tool you are having issues with.

Please.. as i said DEVELOPERS ONLY.
PLEASE DON'T spam.
I'm not talking about the flash tool.
i don't think it has anything to do with the driver, as much as the phone's flashmode behavior itself.
ie the computer recognises the device device differently whether its in regular usb mode, debugging, mounted, flashmode, etc.
i think what it's experiencing is flashmode turns off if there's a delay, and changes usb mode. the computer sees the change as "device A" no longer there and "device B" now there. the computer will see the different usb modes as separate devices since there will be separate ID's for the mode.
if there was a way to keep the phone in flashmode, this would fix the problem. but there's no way of doing that without changing and reflashing fastboot/bootloader.
Then perhaps a driver that acts more like the drivers for the newer phones.
I think.. Fast boot could easily be accessed this way.
And all we need is for it to load that driver and to test using this command.
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
This is all speculation.. but call it a lucky hunch.
If i am wrong then the mods may delete this thread and XDA may ridicule me.
If anyone does manage to do this.
The credit is all yours.
No.. now i am sure the X10's driver may be buggy.
Hold the flash button and insert your charging lead using the wall charger.
You will notice it stays in flash mode for much longer.
I may be wrong.. but test it.
that's because the data signal sent doesn't receive an answer at all.
in simple as possible terms:
when plugged into a computer, it sends the signal that it's flashmode, computer resonds "ok", device signals back "instruct", if the computer responds, it flashes, if there's no response in the defined time, the phone reboots out of flashmode.
i doubt that this could be used as an exploit, else we would have been able to fake SEUS or PCC into flashing a custom bootloader.
but don't get me wrong, if you or any devs know of a way to exploit it, by all means go to it!

Not to throw a spanner in the works BUT! Just so you know the driver you have installed is designed for the later Xperia Phones like the play etc perhaps if you removed the driver deleted the software that goes with it then re-installed the CORRECT driver then you would have less of a "Buggy" driver as you put it! Sorry for the put down but dont wanna get you carried away!
Edit: also some more research it indicates the its the android generic open driver inf

My x10i keeps showing android system not responding after i flashed a xperiaTW custom ROM by wolfbreak. I tried to flash a stock firmware using flashtool but it kept saying, ERROR , please install or reInstall Drivers. I assume that the computer could not detect that my phone is in flashmode. The point now is, i tried using PC companion to repair the drivers, they asked me to Drag the notification bar down and click Mount, but my phone system is not responding. if i click wait or force close, it will pop back up again. and it wont respond to my touches at all. So im like stuck at the home page. Is my phone like dead now or what?

Look in Device manager while your phone is plugged...is there some device with an error.
Maybe its the usb drivers or ADB drivers. Look and tell what is the device that have problems. Maybe I can guide you how to install it's drivers.
Possible solution
Hi.
Actually, I believe the solution is very simple.
Just install "Sony Ericsson Update Service" (alias SEUS) from Sony Ericsson website and it will install the needed drivers.
It happened to me, and I solved it that way.
Good luck!

The installing of SEUS will not do the trick, he has to put the phone in flashmode in order to SEUS to install the driver.
But, SEUS installs only usb drivers. If the problem is ADB101 driver it will not help!
Look inside the flashtool folder, you will see a drivers folder and inside that there's a installer for drivers.

Anyway yeah OP doesn't like to read. He/she got another thread or 2 in here about the flashtool. I pointed OP to the tutorial that Reindero made, which IMO is idiot proof, but the questions that get asked are mind blowing. We were all noobs at one point and I mean I understand if what you are asking is NOT well documented but common....did you even bother reading any of the steps??? Anyway that's my rant for the today.
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 :/
