[Q] Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i flashing error

Hi,
I have Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i phone which was rooted already, recently I came to know about rom updation for android devices and I tried to update a new custom rom by entering to recovery mode through flash tool. Unfortunately something went wrong and now when I am trying power on the mobile it is freezes at Sony Ericsson Logo.
Please help me to enter in to recovery mode again (I hope all the data has wiped out due to miss handling, Even the flash tool is no able to detect phone model)
Holding the back button while power on is also not effecting.
I am not able to boot the phone so I am not in a position to check root access and super user status now.
Please help me....
Have you tried to go to cwm recovery by pressing volume down button

Thank you for the reply fenix,
I tried all key combinations.Nothing is going on my way.Is there any solution to get in to the recovery mode on this condition?I made a backup of my phone before the failure.

i think this is what we call as 'brick'
there are numerous videos showing how to unbrick the device
first u must know whether it is hard or soft brick
and then try to solve ur problem

Use "adb reboot recovery" and continually send it the command until the phone gets it.
or if your phone bootloader is unlocked then flashed a custom kernel with flash tool
if possible please provide a download link of unbrick software for sony ericsson xperia x10i. please discuss about the possibility of flashing a boot loader unblocked kernal and ROM.
Software for unbricking is available in this link

did you try xperia flashtool yet you can flash the firmware from the program, but first you need xperifirm to download the necessary firmware for your device model, then create a bundle from xperia flashtool, finally flash the created firmware via flashmode.

Emma should work, it's for UB devices
Edit: if it doesn't, use Flashtool as aforementioned
When I do the volume down for flashing mode emma dont read the phone, something with a another version ?

Official tools (emma, xperia companion) are useless once bootloader is unlocked
I've been able to fix similar issue using newflasher (even though Xperia 5 is not officially supported):
- download firmware for your device model using xperifirm
- remove all .ta files (incl. those in subfolders)
- extract newflasher files to the same directory where firmware files are stored (appslog_X-FLASH-ALL-A2CD.sin, bluetooth_X-FLASH-ALL-A2CD.sin, .... newflasher.exe ... )
- connect device in flash mode - turn it off (in case of boot loops press and hold combo "volume up" + "power button" and wait till phone vibrates 3 times), after that press and hold "volume down" and connect phone to the PC (once led became green you can release "volume down" button)
- verify there's no driver issue in Device Manager
- run newflasher.exe, answer n (no) to all questions
- wait for "End. You can disconnect your device when you close newflasher", press enter and unplug your phone
