Xperia X10i Flash Mode

Hi guys,,, just bought myself a X10i to play with,,, figured I,ve flash the thing with a rom from the developers forum,
This is where I came unstuck,,,, cant for the life of me get it into flash mode.
Instructions were as follows
1 With fone OFF. Hold down back button and insert usb cable, green light comes on and hit enter. What bloody enter, on the fone or on your keyboard. I,ve tried both, fone just keeps on booting into the main screen, nothing even resembles a flash mode screen. Tried this untill my thumb nearly bled.
Someone help please.

Read the tuts in the dev forum. P.S. no custom roms yet but there is root.

Try hold down "back button" without battery then insert USB cable and then insert battery.

When it says to hit enter, that is to continue from the screen (on the PC) that says "press any key to continue" when you are doing the steps for rooting. If you don't have that window ready the phone will only stay in flash mode for about 5 seconds and then it will continue to boot. So, just make sure you are ready with the PC before entering flash mode.

check drivers (install SE PC suite and let it atleast detect the phone once in FLASH mode)...
also it might help to disable any antivirus (worked for me)

cannot enter the flash mode
Hi,
I know this post is pretty old, but still I'm struglig the second day now to get into flash mode and still no luck despite trying every method there is on the web.
I've got Xperia X10i mini pro, reinstalled standard ROM with PC companion just to make sure it's nothing with the software or any modifications I made to it.
I'm guiding myself with instruction given here:
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Mini_Pro:_Full_Update_Guide
in order to get my bootloader unlocked
what I've done so far:
-installed Android SDK incl. SDK Tools, SDK Platform-tools, Google USB driver package. Not installed any API from SDK.
-put android_winusb.inf (18 KB size) in C:\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver
-in general- everyting given here: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK#Windows
command
Code:
adb devices
rerurns
Code:
List of devices attached
43423531315537465737 device
in my opinion meaning it works as it should.
So I turn the phone off, unplug the cable both from computer and the phone, take the abttery out, plug both end of USB cable where these should be, hold the Back button (tried with Volume up too) and put the battery in.
The result is it only goes into flash mode for several seconds (confirmed by SuperOneClisk log) and then goes into charging mode. nothing gets displayed on the screen. Only when PC Companion is on it detects it, than looses it and pops up with a window on how to properly connect the device... :/
So can someone please tell me what I do wrong?
Why it doesn't stay in flash mode?
PS. when I enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu, after pressing the last * the numbers just disappear and nothing happens...
Pls help
Edit:
I somehow got around that with s1tool and Flashtool. But eventually I could not go along the way given at cyanogenmod.com and unlocked with the help of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225

[q] problems with lg gt540

hi guys.. could you help me with my problem.!
I have an LG GT540 android 1.6 firmware version(stock)
So here are my problems:
1. I tried to upgrade it from 1.6 to 2.1 using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...27&postcount=3 thanks to lavero.burgos for posting it, I was successful at first part, but I cant follow the next because my device wont go to fast boot,, I tried putting it off, then camera+poweron but it doesnt do anything. It doesn't light, no lg logo appears, just nothing although the computer can read the drive when I connect it through usb. So I cannot flash it to 2.3,2.3 because it just wont go to fastboot.
2. When I turn it on normally, It takes long before it response like after 30sec to light, but just light, no lg logo appears although it wasnt bricked because I can use it normally after just waiting to on.(annoying)
3. Since I upgraded it to 2.1, I lost all 3rd party application and the internal apps were the only left, so I copied all my saved apps (.apk) to my sd card but the problem is there is no saved app on my phone to read and install those apps from my sd card.(irritating)
4. My device wont read my sim card, when I start it it says "sim card unprovisioned" so basically I cant connect to mobile networks here in the philippines(im using globe telecom). I feel that Im stucked in the middle of nowhere since I cannot contact and txt all my family and friends.
5. I cant connect to wifi,, when my device detects wi-fi, I try to connect to it but from the log it only try to connect but doesn't obtain the ip address. Even when the wi-fi signal is strong, it does the same thing.
So please help me guys,,I want to hear from my fellow xda-developers badly,,,
PS. also those who have problems with their LG GT540 pls feel free to post and share it with us here... thank you all guys in advance....

Thanks,, Ive tried the 2nd option on step one and i think my phone successfully got to fastboot(just clean blank screen) so the cmd automatically run and states
C:\Desktop\adb rebootloader
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: protocol fault <no status>
C:\Desktop\fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
< waiting for device >
Did I miss something???

ok try again this time with the phone turned on. and then run the script and did you install the drivers?

yeah I installed the drivers...

hmmm maybe there are no fastboot drivers(main suspect....) there are a few ways to get it but for mine i just plug my phone in to my pc (windows 7 64bit) it just recognize it and tries to get the "google fastboot interface" drivers from windows update...

Try Volume Up+Search Key+Power to go into Fast boot Mode, There's different keys to activate Fastboot Mode (There is different versions of Fastboot)

Your phone is/was bricked
Hey, I'm sorry to bing back such an old thread, but I just wanted to say this for posterity: your phone has/had a soft-brick. This means: you can't see Android nor LG boot logos, can't enter Recovery and (maybe) can't access Fastboot, but I'm not too sure on that last one. Besides that, the phone works "okay", but you should try to fix it.
Basically this soft-brick is almost always caught when upgrading from 1.6 to 2.1, so everyone should have it, including me. It took me a whole year to realize how to friggin' fix it lol, but here goes what I did:
Thanks for your help everyone, I came to a solution after a full year lol. Here's my enlightenment, from another Thread:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just wanted to leave my 2 cents here, I've been trying to do my best since around august 2014, no success. 2 days ago I retried this, and I DID IT! I will tell everyone what I did very shortly:
My problem that I solved: I can boot, device works like a charm. But: no boot logos, no recovery.
My solution for TL;DR: UNINSTALL ALL DRIVERS FROM DEVICE MANAGER 1ST, then reinstall. After that, flash a fastboot ROM and use it to WIPE ALL THE DATA IN YOUR PHONE! THIS was what I needed and was never explained: you had to WIPE the old data in order to get the boot screens back.
IN THIS ORDER (THANK YOU to those people from previous replies, gathering all your info was of great value):
Uninstall all of your phone drivers from your PC!!! This is what made most of my headaches go away, just use Device Manager and uninstall anything from LGE. After that, plug in your device in your USB ports (always BACK ports, not front ports, important). It should detect all drivers and download them.
IF it fails (it generally does with LGE USB Modem), you can go to Device Manager > Unknown Device (the one that wasn't recognized) > Right Click and Update > Choose 2nd option, then choose "choose from a list of local controllers" (or whatever the button says). After that, scroll down to LG Electronics, Inc. and install what didn't install.
I also found these drivers, but I did not test them: http://www.mediafire.com/download/p693hcz6kkouh19/USB_Driver_LG_GT540.zip
Huzzah!
Now you're set to begin:
FIRST thing you wanna do is a factory reset, this is something I'd forgotten with time, don't make the same mistake as I did. You can do it by turning your phone on and pressing Volume +/- & Home & Quick Search buttons all together for 5 seconds (it works, be patient and wait for it, even if you open the camera or any other stuff).
Download this Google SDK Tools (unzip and put the folder in C:\ drive) and this Fastboot drivers for GT540 (unzip and put the files inside the folder in C:\android-sdk).
Skip this next line if you know your ROM has fastboot.
Now, if you don't have a ROM with fastboot, I recommend you use either European Open+Fastboot or V20C Orange France Fastboot ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since you have Fastboot enabled, now all you need to do is turn off your device (all this with its battery on it, no weird things) and hold the Camera button before turning it back on. This should take you either to a black screen, or simply to no display, like me. Either one will work anyways.
Now press the Windows key > Type cmd and open it with Right Click > Run as Administrator.
In it, type all this, command by command (you can paste by right clicking):
cd C:\android-sdk
fastboot -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And now it's go time! Do what everyone else says in here: Take out your phone's battery, SD and SIM cards, fire KDZ Updater up as Administrator (If your KDZ freezes, then it's either faulty or you did not install msxml, look for a good KDZ that comes with that file and delete your current one), choose CS_Emergency PhoneMode and:
1-Plug your phone while holding the volume DOWN button (don't worry! My phone didn't show "Download Mode" either, if you hear the Windows "Somethingpluggedin" Bump noise, it's ok).
2-Flash French V20A
3-Unplug your phone once KDZ says "==FINISHED==".
4-Plug it once again, holding the volume DOWN button.
5-Flash out.kdz (remember! it's CS_Emergency).

[Q] HTC Desire 310 cannot Power on / charge after flashing stock rom using SPFlash

Hello to all XDA Family,
This is my first post here in XDA hope someone could help me reviving my Friend's HTC Desire 310. My friend asked me to repair her sister's bootloop HTC desire 310 uni sim. I searched a tutorial in XDA and downloaded the necessary files (Drivers, SP Flashtool & rom-Uni Sim). I followed the tutorial and finished flashing the stock rom. Unfortunately after flashing the rom the phone won't turn on or charge. I tried to reflashed it and got some error after the 100% yellow bar progress it gave me some errors.
*Below is the Scenario during and after flashing*
1- After flashing anything whatever it was the phone will get Hard Brick . Does it mean that Preloader or Bootloader "1st 2 data partations" is faulty.
2- Since Factory Mode is in Bootloader so you are not able to access it
3- since adb starts after bootloader phase so also u cant access it.
4- THANKFULLY i can get the phone into Preloader Mode by Removing Battery ===> connect usb ===> then hold Volume Down
5- In Preloader Mode the phone shutsdown in approxmatly 2-3 seconds getting SP Flash Tool Recognising it for 2 seconds and disconnect again after 2 seconds.
6- I can also get the phone into Preloader mode by Removing battery =====> connect USB =====> plug the battery back in. the phone will get into Preloader Mode for 2 seconds too but when i tried to flash the rom using SP Flash tool it give some error like (BROM ERROR: S_CHKSUM_ERROR) when the yellow progress bar reached 100%.
What can i do to revive the phone.? Please lend me your knowledge Thank you in advance.

Please help guys... thank you

Bricked my LG L5-E610 or have I?

Hey ^^
I recently tried to install a custom rom on my LG L5-E610 so I rooted the device, unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM Recovery on it. So far so good.
Btw I was going to use this custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7/development/l5-l7-cyanhacker-v2-0-sbp-t3061734
Beeing in CWM I flashed GApps, SuperSU and the rom of course AS WELL AS some sort of baseband (which I think is something that I was not supposed to do as it's not claimed in the custom rom thread)
And now everytime I try to power up the phone this happens: (video on my dropbox) https://www.dropbox.com/s/eifhw0pk1kwz2fd/LG L5 problem.mp4?dl=0
However sometimes after beeing stuck on that screen (and the screen turns off) i can (after pressing the home button) use the phone normally with the custom rom on it. Although sometimes the touchscreen or the speakers won't work.
But usually it's stuck like shown in the video.
I also can't enter CWM Recovery anymore.
Nothing helps so I hope some kind person on XDA can help me
Thanks in advance,
Schubi_1 ^^

Don't be desperate
You installed the baseband of aidasaidas75. I don't know why he made this new baseband, but several people have passed or are going through this situation you are going through right now.

The screen is gray? It should show the LG Logo and a message like "Don't remove the USB cable" or something...
Have u done this procedure? ---> 1st - Remove the battery and insert again | 2nd - Click the Volume Up (or Down, try both and see which one works) button and connect USB cable to PC | 3rd - Open KDZ and flash the stock ROM (or whatever .KDZ file you have for the e610) | 4th - If it shows an error in KDZ like Wparam or Lparam (0) just ignore it and wait till it reaches (100) | 5th - Let the phone reboot... You have to be patient here because it takes a really long time! | 6th - Enjoy your phone

my phone doesn't show any logos
the moment it turns on the screen the screen just stays as shown in the video
whenever i connect the phone to the computer (whilst pressing both volume up+down) and then start the kdz updater the only thing that shows up is:
PHONE WAS NOT FOUND!
i tried most of the things you suggested but nothing works
i think the problem is that i'm missing some sort of driver as my phone doesn't get detected by the computer as a LG L5 but instead as "android" wich my computer thinks to be a Mass Storage Device.

you have to leave the screen like this:

If you get put in this way, just connect to your PC and have them install the Stock ROM.
Now, if you could not leave it, try other key combinations to try to enter download mode.
do not give up!!!

Meizu m2 note bricked.

I have meizu m2 note. Its now bricked. I was using sp flash tool to unlock the bootloader and install twrp recovery.
i was following the guide giving on youtube. I can't attach an outside link here.
So i did everything this guide said, but on the last step when i switched off my phone and connected to the usb port. The sp flash tool stopped working i waited for 5-10 mins. Finally it crashed. Now when i try to connect my phone it says usb device not recognised (the last device you connected to this computer malfunctioned). I cannot start my phone. I tried pressing the power button for 10 secs, tried pressing volume + with power button, nothing happens.
Anybody have any idea how to solve this.

Go to download old version Flyme os 4+ any but original rom you have must install,
And dow load any latest sp tool,
And also downlaod latest all mtk devices drivers,
If you have system knoledge you can install all of these pc softwares,
Test it once again your phone connecting to computer,
Just detected only nothing. Can do that its just detected your will be alive soon but its very easy if you know a little bit mobile knowledge,
Lets go to process
Step 1 check best and good branded usb connecting cable, test to connect usb cable to your phone,
Step 2 extract Flyme stock rom, and extract mtk sp tool,
Step 3 open sp tool showing error there is no any scatter. Or download file dont worry, da file availble at sptools folder you can go and select, and scatter. File availble at flyme stock rom folder lets check it then select firmware all formate and install that you have to select that option, then you select download and now connect your phone just leave ituntill done then your phone is will alive feel happy like me if you need any more information any other problem connect. To. Me
