Xperia X10 green light blinking and vibrating but not turning on

Guys can you please help me? yesterday (June 9, 2011) I brought my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i to a technician they tried to flash my phone but it always fail even when using an activated box. They tried to use SE companion and updated it with the update software (i just don't know what version they use or if it matters too) but it always cuts out but resumes when he connects it again until the update is finished. But when it gets on software install it never proceeds and stuck up and never proceed again. They tried to do hardware reset and still it wasn't resolved. And now everything is sinking in to me, now i feel so frustrated to have it back to life. Anyway it was sent to me by my uncle from UK and it was hardly used, never fell and just got it via DHL. Please help me to fix these.

I'm no expert, but it looks like you may have actually received a faulty device. Sony should replace it. Otherwise, try flashing it with FlashTool.

yeah but too bad i can't do it anymore as if i do so i should send the device back to uk and it will also cost me a lot... now im really hating sony ericsson devices. well, now, i'll just wait for few more days for my iphone as a replacement from my uncle. x10 will never be a real smartphone device.

By the way, did you unlock the bootloader? Because when I unlocked my bootloader and tried to do a software update on my Xperia Play, I ended up having a very similar problem with my phone (as did countless other people). Thanks Sony Ericsson! Now I have managed to bring my phone back to life but everything works on my phone except the actual phone part-- ie, I can't make calls. I had to pay $40 for a special unlocking procedure to get the phone unlocked again (and I'm still waiting for the service, because it's currently down). So basically Sony really screwed us over...

actually i don't even know what that bootloader is, and haven't got it turned on when i received the phone + I'm very sure that my uncle who sent the phone haven't done anything with the phone as he never tried to explore any phones aside from using it for texting and calling.

Had one same problem hold back button plug in usb and use the restore tool in pc companion

can't find a restore tool in pc companion...where can i find it?
or is it that the reason why i don't see any other option in my PC Companion is because i can't even turn my phone on??

Click on firmware, then even though they say you already have the latest firmware click on the repair button.

nah, can't see anything but mediazone and the other on i forgot with start button at the bottom.

Is this thread still alive?\
I HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. :'(

Try to reinstall with SEUS !!!!

Having the same problem, green light blink once followed by vibrate, then nothing
It happened when I tried to boot into recovery mode and rebooted without knowing what I did (the recovery menu was all messed up). I had a working generic 2.1 loaded, and was trying to load a custom rom. I also have tried to unlock the bootloader before I went to the recovery mode.
After that,I have tried flashing different versions of firmwire using the flash tool, but I always get the message telling me to turn on usb debugging. Any pointers would be appreciated at this point...

I am having the same problem and haven´t found a solution.
Flashtool and SEUS are not working.

Same problem here, cause unknown.
Trying to find a way to install new software without the phone booting.

I have the same problem I tried to flash via flashtool and it shows this message. The phone is vibrating but not turn on please help

[Q] Xperia J - Flashtool stuck at 0%

Hi,
I recently installed FXP 207 CM10 on my xperia J and now I would like to temporarily go back to a stock rom.
I've installed Flashtool 0.9.10.1 and the flashmode drivers (from C:\Flashtool\drivers). Then I follow normal flashing process and everything seems to go smoothly except that the progress bar stays at 0% (no errors). This seems similar to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2089275 except it's with an Xperia J and unfortunately problem remains when in PTP.
Here's the Flashtool log:

What I've tried so far:
- Debug mode and unknown sources activated
- PC companion is not running in the background
- Tried with MTP and PTP mode
- Tried with 3 different cables
- Tried different usb ports (front and back)
- Tried leaving my finger on the volume down button during the whole process
- Tried on a Win 7 64 and on an XP sp3 32 (The win xp is a virtual machine but the issue is exactly the same)
- tried with 3 different ftf files (1x .28, 1x .18 and 1x .7.5)
- Bootloader was unlocked using Sony official method
- in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124168&page=4 satan89 advised to first flash a Rom based on stock Rom ( and that did the trick for a Tipo), but is there such a rom for the xperia J ? I looked but couldn't find one
- I tried after flashing official kernel with fastboot first but same issue afterward
- I Installed AOKP (KXP) and tried again but still 0%
I really don't know what to try anymore, do you have any ideas of what could cause the issue?
---------------
Xperia J
Flashtool 0.9.10.1
Win 7 64

Try different flashtool v

I see that its write in flashtool log what you copy green light this is for flashing but you must fastboot , you must to turn off phone hold volume up button and connect usb cable.

vol- is flash mode vol+ is fastboot mode

Hi all,
Thanks for all your replies guys, much appreciated.
I just tried with Flashtool 0.9.0.0 and 0.8.6.0 and the same thing happens, the only difference is that with 0.8.6.0, it gets stuck on "24/021/2013 01:21:48 - INFO - Flashing loader" instead of "23/007/2013 13:07:59 - INFO - Flashing data". Tomorrow I'll try with older versions of Flashtool but without much hope.
For the moment I don't have access to another physical windows machine, that's why I tried on a Mac with VMware, but I'll try soon on another PC and update the thread.
2010matej, I tried in fastboot mode, but nothing happens when I press 'volume up' and the led is blue. I did flash the kernel extracted from the ftf I'm trying to install prior to flashing though (using ' fastboot flash boot kernel.sin) and then tried to flash again but same behavior afterward.
Thanks for the help.

Hi gavster26, sorry, didn't get a chance to test till today: so I flashed just the kernel with flashtool (in flashmode) and it still gets stuck on 'Flashing data' except that the progress bar goes to 29% with 11.0.A.7.5 and 30% with .18 and .28 then it stops and green led turns off, still no error message.
I thought this could be a driver issue so I tried after installing the driver from the ST26.zip (from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033114) but still the exact same.
If you've any ideas, I'm all ears.

Did anyone solve this problem? I also stuck at this.

Hi herophuong,
I actually gave up for a while, then I tried with the Mac version of Flashtool (0.9.10.1) on Mac OS 10.8 using a 11.0.A.7.5 ftf file and it finally worked. Try on a mac if you can find one.
Hope this will help you.

There is a safety feature with the devices where they auto boot if they are left in flash mode or fastboot mode for too long. Only connect the device in the relevant mode AFTER the file has been prepared and flashtool tells you to connect it.

[Q] Xperia e bootloop error - search fixes not working

I have an Xperia E (Single Sim).
I have unlocked the bootloader using the official Sony method and, as it seems, like many before me, my phone is stuck in a bootloop.

I'm guessing it might be something to do with USB debugging being off, but because it is stuck in a bootloop I can't get into the phone to change that.
Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be much appreciated, as my phone is effectively bricked! I just want to get it working again - nothing more.

Xperia factory reset method
Update - I have got it working again!!! Woohoo.
Now you custom ROM peeps won't like this fix - but for the likes of me who just got real scared thinking my phone was bricked, its exactly what I wanted.
This fix takes you back to the original ROM. I'd seen someone else mention it, but didn't understand the post. So, if you come across this one and you are like me.... (well, let's hope you're not, but hey!)... then this is what you do:
1) Download and install the official Sony PC Companion.
2) Click on the Support Zone button
3) Click on Software update
4) The next screen has a repair my phone link (not the button on the bottom - read the everything on the screen and you should find it)
5) click here and follow the instructions
I'm presuming that this has just created the standard ROM on my phone, but its working like it should.
I got so stressed over this, so if you need anything explaining above, just post a message and I'll try to help.

[Q] Xperia J - not booting

Hello dear forum users.
So i today my friend gave me Xperia J with words that it doesnt boot and he dont know how to fix it. Since i already worked with some Xperia phones, i told him i will try to fix it.
So far, no luck.
Important things i dont really know: what rom was there, if BL is unlocked or not etc.
I have tried Flashtool as 1st.
I installed all the drivers, downloaded device list via git etc. Flashtool recognizes the phone, but as i try to flash it, i get error with loader.sin. I did some research and i have read it has something to do with the bootloader. So tried to unlock it again - no luck, same error. I always get stuck at that loader.sin error.

So I decided to give a try to PC Companion, but in the middle of repair it says error 100, and will not continue.
So far as i know, SUS doesnt support Xperia J, so its out of play.
Guys, any advices on my problem? It looks like the only way to do something is trough Flashtool but i didnt have luck yet. Any help?
thankyou

I did some research and i have read it has something to do with the bootloader. So tried to unlock it again - no luck, same error. I always get stuck at that loader.sin error.
So I decided to give a try to PC Companion, but in the middle of repair it says error 100, and will not continue.
So far as i know, SUS doesnt support Xperia J, so its out of play.
Guys, any advices on my problem? It looks like the only way to do something is trough Flashtool but i didnt have luck yet. Any help?
thankyou

I have similar problem with not booting J
and SUS worked. But phone don't boot anyway

How did you manage to repair it? I dont have Xperia J in the listed devices

SUS and PC Companion doesn't work with UB, so try flashing ICS ftf with flashtool.

I didn't. I think it is dead. I will never buy phone from Sony again. I was totaly disappointed.

Oh well, looks like its not posible to repair it. I tried multiple stock roms with flashtool and i get the same loader.sin error every time. Even if its soft brick it looks like i will have to sell the phone for parts. :crying:

Unable to flash any FTF in flash mode

I have a strange problem with with my XZ while trying to flash any ftf.
Here's the flashtool log;

25/037/2019 03:37:55 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
25/057/2019 03:57:42 - INFO - Device disconnected
The strange thing is that the phone does not actually get disconnected, windows doesn't even play the disconnection sound and the green light signifying flash mode stays on.
I've tried flashing 2 different MM ftf files and 2 different Oreo files but it always stops at the same point. I cant use fastboot because my bootloader is still locked. I can't even unlock it because the guides i was following don't even mention enabling OEM unlock until after the flashing is done...
I tried repairing with xperia companion but it always fails with basically no information. I feel like I can still rescue the phone because i have flash mode, fastboot mode and when i power on, it shows the Sony logo and then "software update failed". Also, the phone shows up as SOMC flash device when plugged in in flash mode(if that helps). Pls what do I do from here?

I just tried that and tried to flash a couple more times, sometimes it stops at "Opening device for R/W", other times it stops at "Opening TA partition 2" and then some how disconnects and reconnects.
This all started because i tried to downgrade from Oreo to MM.

I've installed all the drivers and the latest flashtool but still the same problem. It's just annoying that there's no error message......
