Click to expand...

totally ****er bull****.
The 1 u posted is X10 mini. I din c before i run it. Now my hp cant boot up anymore.
What do you mean HP?
the title says X10? Why would you try it on a HP?
Geeks, please help us
Same prob
Now we know for sure, that xRecovery is dangerous if we don't know how to handle it
i havent met any problem entering the xrecovery menu even when i first installed it even though i was a complete noob on android (now i am just noob)
only thing i was doing is that i never pressed the back button only 3 times, i always keep pressing it until i get the xrecovery menu
Yes, keep pressing the back button until you enter the XRecovery menu.
If it still fails then I would revert my phone to the STOCK SE ROM (basically means repairing your phone using Sony Ericsson's PC Companion or Update Service utility), and then use FlashTool to root the device and install Busy Box and XRecovery.
FlashTool is basically an all in one solution and is less painful to use for beginners. Just do a search for it in the XDA forums.
Hope this helps.
hello everyone.
i got a xperia play that i have rooted with superoneclick.
now i have changed some icons like battery status etc with rom toolbox
and after restarted so i could see the changes it just stuck on the sony ericsson boot text.(in a loop)
i got stock rom an all no busy box just rom toolbox pro,superuser and maybe a bricked phone.
please help!!!
note i had a lot of crashes before i restarted the phone
and i got it in christmas so i m very sad now cus its my only good phone D:
mystery cant be bricked
its not bricked i guess becausse its still charging when not trying to boot
well...
i was wrong so now i have to download a stock ftf file atleast i know what wrong
Heya
I have the exact same phone as you with ROM Toolbox Pro and Superuser as well, and I've run into the same problem after trying to customize some icons and system fonts.
I'd be very much interested in knowing how you and if you got your phone working again.
I'm currently downloading FlashTool in the hopes that I can use that to flash it back to a stock Android 2.3.
Bootloader locked, can't flash ROM
As the title said, apparently my bootloader is locked so I can't use the flashtool to flash the ROM.
I can't unlock my bootloader in any way I've been able to discover on here as I can't boot past the Sony Ericsonn logo text screen.
Does anybody know if there even is a way past this? Will paid professionals be able to fix it? Or am I stuck with a permanently bricked phone here?
Maybe one of my family's contacts working for the service provider will have an idea of what to do.
Everything went so well until I tried to change some icons and fonts, then everything just went downhill.
Thank you very much in advance.
i have a x10 mini pro and it got bricked.
i tried out every single procedure i could find on the internet. But still, i could not unbrick the phone.
The current status of my phone is , when i start it, it briefly vibrates then a blank screen appears for 5seconds. Then nothing for another 5 seconds, then the blank screen again... its the blank screen loop.
I dont see any Sony Ericsson logo or NAA kernel Logo.
The phone was running of
1. Naa Kernel v10,
2. cm7 1.9
3. unlocked boot loader
Things i tried:
1. Flashing stock rom and all other roms using flash tool.
2. Flashing Naa kernel v11.
3. Repair my phone using Sony Ericsson PC Companion.
4. Hard Reset.
5. Disassembled the device and the screen cables are good.
The adb does not recognize my phone, the flash tool recognizes my phone, but the PC Companion does not. When i select the Support Tool in the PC Companion and repair my phone, the PC Companion re-installs the Stock ROM successfully.
But still, i am stuck in the blank screen loop.
I had PMed this scenario to some experienced devs here in XDA.... and got replies too.... that didnt help again....
Please do help.
Thanks in advance.
It seems to be a hardware problem and not a brick.....
thanks to @leajian for the advice....
Thats a relief..... will give the device to the service center and see.....

I've bricked my SGS2 loads of times just by flashing roms, I just flash a stock rom back and start again then use my jig - that resolves bricking
Yup...
i did the flashing like 100 times....
restored the phone with pc companion another 100 times...
still the same thing..... blank screen loop.....
Guys , I was on Jelly Sandwich with sirikay's kernel. I had some speed problems with wifi. So I thought of flashing stock ICS Rom ST18i_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel.ftf using uniflash.exe and did it. After flashing it didnt restart. So I clicked the power button to restart manually but just got a vibration sound and nothing else .. just the blank screen. So I searched for stuff about unbricking my device since I thought it's bricked. I downloaded this package "FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick.exe" and started flashing the firmwares. So I held down my volumedown button and connected it to the usb port. It says error and that I have to select usb debugging mode and connect again but I can't even start my mobile.
Plz help .. Thanks in Advance
Try using flash tool!
and flash stock ftf through that.....

Hi
I confirm, just had the same problem while updating a custom ROM.
Get the Stock ftf file for your phone/model then use Flashtool to flash it.
Search the forum for the proper links there are likely to be all there somewhere
Hopefully, your phone will be back to life on a stock version.
And yes, if you want to re-install a custom ROM you need to re-do all the process: root, (optional) unlock Bootloader etc.
Good luck.
PS: I saw a thread saying to use the SEUS to restore the phone to stock. Worth a try but for me it didn't work since SEUS was telling my phone already had the latest version. Fix hard bricked ray
Dear friends hope you all are good. But sure I am not .
2/3 days back, I update my Xperia Ion LT28h from ICS to JB 4.2.1. After that, I tried to Root my device and able to did Root successfully. I have installed custom recovery "CWM6_Ganesh_Jb_Xperia ION_v1" and install custom ROM "Nature Xperia Advance V3.2 International Edition" after flashed ROM ( I am not so sure its successful or not, there was no error). anyways, after done this i go back to recovery mode > Advance > then wipe all data (I think I did this f***ing mistake)
Then tried to restart the phone, but it’s gone. After appear “Sony” logo phone automatically restart the on again and again Restart. After did this 4/5 time everything black only Red LED continue flashing.
I have tried to boot from Flashtool and Sony Update Service but unable to connect on Flashmode.
Guys is there any way to fix it, Please help me out,
