Xperia won't boot - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got my cousins Xperia.
When I start the phone, it shows the green SE logo,
And after that I get a blank (backlight on) screen.
I do not see any Radio rom etc info...
Think the bootloaders is broken or whatso ever.
I'm a pro, so plz stfu with ur flash spl etc. etc....
Bootloader won't work,
Hard resetting using the hw keys did work, but after booting again the screen became blank....
It had one of Itjes WM6.1 roms on it...
Mayb time bomb or what so ever, but I don't know why I can't get into bootloader while HR does work....

so you can't flash a stock-rom via microsd-method either?

What happens when you try to get to the boot loader? Did he try to flash a ROM? How did this problem start?

I lol'd .
The poster above me asks a valid question. How did this start? Did he do something, or the phone broke on its own?

Well the phone has some falling on the ground dmg.
This also happend when it felt down, he said the phone was acting weird, I soft-resetted the phone and this is what it does.
When I do volume down + Power, it just starts....
When I do softkeys+volumedown + power it does show me the HR information.
Tried HR, the phone restarts and then shows SE logo and after that goed blank (without showing radio, rom info etc...)

It should be hardware damage then. Nothing else fits. Anyway, if none of the hard reset/flashing methods work, there is nothing else to do, but send it for repairs .

You think it will be accepted, with some visible things that it has been dropped a couple of times???

Well that's not worth it anymore, it's going for sale.
Admin lock this thread, and thx all for support.

Insanity! there's got to be a solution to this, the exact same thing happened with my X1 but I swear to the love of god I NEVER even dropped the thing!

Guess what, it's fixed ^^
All I needed to do was download UpdateService for X1
I reinstalled all the software (it requires you to go to the tri-colored screen) and it works perfectly, yet again
hope this might be useful for someone

Urgent help needed!

Help.. my Kaiser just died on me.. Just an hour ago it was working fine, then it went to sleep mode and it wouldn't wake up.. so the only way was to take the battery out.. I took the battery out and then it wouldn't load pass the Smart mobility screen. It just stays like that.. I tried taking the battery out for 30 minutes and it still doesn't work..
What happened to my kaiser and how can I fix it>?
What ROM are u using? and have u recently used clear temp?
If the answer to the above is Duttys and yes...
then Hard reset...no other way
There is an issue with Duttys hybrid and clear temp.
Did you purchase this from AT&T?
What has their tech support said?
Is it still under warranty? If so I would return it for warranty replacement.
This sounds like something failed in your hardware causing a software failure - if it is hardware you are going to want a new machine.

No I never used clear temp. This just happened out of the blue while I was at work.
Hold down Camer, Power & then push the reset tab & hold all three down until the tri-color screen pops up. See if you can get it into BL mode. Let me know.

Seems like the hard reset did the trick.. actually 2 hard resets.. the first one didn't work, it still froze there.. then a second one got it loading again...

Broken Kaiser or it's a software issue? please help! I can't start my phone

Htc tytn II.
It happened already once before two weeks and today again and i can't start my kaiser. First time i manage to start it somehow i don't even know how and i thought it won't happen again. When i push a start button only green color light appears on it, and nothing on screen. like it didn't start at all.
After that i can't do anything except soft reset which only shut down phone and green light gone then. Or take battery out! so i tryed everything later and now can't even start my phone anyhow!
I flashed rom in past and have some of dutty's rom in there
Please help me and tell me what is wrong with my phone and how to repair this problem?
now i can't even get green light. now is completely dead. I am worried if i send it at service with warranty that they will see i have no official rom (i'm on dutty's)

Flash it back to stock, all the details are in the wiki, you just have to read. Then you can warranty it.

If it is dead and won't start how are they going to find out you don't have a stock rom?
It is not like they have a bunch of brilliant guys sitting around HTC miraculously reviving dead phones. They through it in the dead phone pile and use it for parts.
Could be a battery issue (highly unlikely as I havent really heard of this happening ever) but still, its possible. So, if you have a replacement battery try it out. Also, has it been water damaged, have you dropped it multiple times or has something hit it hard? These things could also brick a tilt, something like that happened to my friend when a door slammed his wizard.
I doubt its a software issue, a software issue would still allow it to turn on.

now i tryed again in the morning and green light on phone again works. but only it!
So it is now a battery issue then ?!
doesn't help anything else again. didn't had any hard hit in it. i was yesterday at Prodigy music concert so maybe there get some hit but it should not be anything seriously.. For the first time it didn't get any hit.. It was rainy here yesterday and i had it in my pocket, but first time when this happened it wasn't rainy, than it was on hard sunny day and for the first time i thought it was because of sun! Now was quite rainy and wet day...
hm. i have news now here, when i leave it on green light started for a longer period, i get those multiple lines colors on screen i see. it's approx. 10 colors lines... and it stays for a 10 sec. approx. and after that it shuts down itself! And now again i cant even get green color. Disaster!

it's not broken screen because first time i somehow manage to start it and it works normal for 2 weeks.. so it must be a battery...
i will try with other battery later from friends kaiser

ok, let us know if that worked.
i tried with friends battery and it's not a battery problem. With his battery same problem, and when i put in my battery in his phone it works normal...
looks like I'll need to go to htc service using warranty... i hope it won't be some problem with them because i have dutty's rom
argh... not good!
now i got phone call from servicer who manage to turn on phone. And he saw in there dutty's rom, not official and my warranty now won't worth
now everything what he will do with phone i will need to pay by my own money.
Now he started phone and he says that he will return it to official rom and see will phone work then normal. If not he said he should change whole mother board to fix this problem which is really huge expense. He told me price almost same as new kaiser!!! terrible!
disaster, now i heard with service and the phone is not working well even with official rom now. I don't know what to do! He said he need to change motherboard and the cost for that is like new phone! Terrible. So, to be honest, this rom flashing is total mistake because could easy loose phone just like i do.
i would like to sell it but don't know how now because he don't work properly!

That's the risk you take when flashing a non OEM rom. If the rom your using isn't worth that risk, then don't flash it.
I bet the rom you were using didn't cause the problem either.

The problem can be or can not be caused by rom flashing. It could be just some hardware fault which has nothing to do with rom flashing.

i agree. i also don't thing it's because of rom flashing. probably some hardware failure...
but problem is when i can't start phone i can't change official rom offcourse
anyone know how much new motherboard cost and can i get it online somehow? here in croatia is not easy to find this because very few this phones are available... same with parts of this phone

Problem!!! camera led is lit all the time

Hi!!!
My camera LED is lit all the time, even when the phone is off. The only way to turn it off is to take out the battery. what's the problem?? shortcircuit?
Also my phone doesn't vibrate at startup
No idea, sounds like a fault. Have you tried running something like hTorch to see if that can change the state of LED?
Failing that, battery out and back to the shop, imo.
yeah, tried htorch and the only thing happend is that the led gets brighter. but it cannot be a software fault because the led is lit when the phone is off
well having the light on that long will have destroyed your vibrator so that explains why that doesnt work - if you try performing a hard reset and that doesnt work it must be something other than a software problem unless you have had this problem since you first got the phone (i'd use a stock rom just to be sure)

I just checked if it was htorch that was on when i first saw that the led was lit, then i turned it off right away, but maybe it was on in my pocket or something because i opened it and the camera LED "holder" has melted
yeah, i'm on stock now, same problem

im no expert but that must mean there is some sort of hardware problem or a loose connection or something because if flashing even the stock rom doesnt fix it then it cant be a software fault - i'd try and get a new one under you warrenty if you can

Help me please, dead tytn2 :(

Hello guys, i really need your help!
My phone is so strange now, i have been using Ultimate-X.V9 -21054, but in last days, my phone has gone to white screen some times when i press to screen up sometimes everything is fine, but others not and my phone sometimes dont respond to my touch, and sometimes is a bit slow
Now i have flashed to RUU_Kaiser_HTC_PTG_3.28.410.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.17.56_Ship, during the upgrade my phone stay on tree colors, but on computer appeared the status bar! and everythime i turn on my phone now is like 90% is allways white :O i have open my phone, and reconected all again, but the problem still there! im using 3.34 hard spl!
Please someone help meee... i really love my tytn2 is there any way to put this fine? its hard spl problem?
Please help me
Please help meee My phone now is more slow than normal :/
That happened to me a while back, I took it apart several times and checked connections etc. but that did not fix it. I ended up buying a new LCD off of ebay which fixed it perfectly. So, I would suggest doing that (I bought one for 15USD used).
But this to me seems to be a problem on the main board, because the phone sometimes gets really slows And sometimes that white problem appears and others not, like 90% when i need to use my phone
Flash Stock ROM?
Did you flash if back to a OEM ROM? Did it work OK if you left it on the OEM ROM? I have used "Kaiser_HTC_ASIA_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2" as a OEM to upgrade from on many phones that I had upgrade issues with.
i think RUU_Kaiser_HTC_PTG_3.28.410.0_radio_sign_25.83.40. 02_1.65.17.56_Ship is an OEM rom isnt? :x

Well, if is about the screen, i can say im safe :x
But one thing on my mind, the white screen i could say to change the screen to one new, but the problem is the kaiser stay a bit slow, and sometimes it dont respond to what i want!
With that stay thinking that the problem is about the mainboard or something like that :s but i hope the problem is the screen, i will buy a new on ebay
The ribbon cable for the digitizer (touch screen) attaches to the LCD, and then both signals feed through the same cable into the D-pad board, so its possible that there is a bad connection somewhere in the LCD/Digitizer assembly that causes it to not sense your inputs, even when the LCD itself is working. Mine just failed completely to a white screen and did not come back. It could be something besides the LCD..try flashing a new HardSPL and/or a different ROM, but if I had to bet, I would bet on the LCD.

P4k1t0, I know you're frustrated that you phone doesnt work, but do not get uppity at the other forum posters. If you sound off against msd24200 and a mod sees it, its likely to lock your topic.
i had the same situation two weeks back after i flash with my own cooked rom.
what i did is flash the stock rom through SD/storage card and everything is fine.
you already try this method ? you can search on how to flash from SD/storage card
to flash by sd card? ok ok i will try it right now to see

[Q] Can't enter bootloader anymore!

Hi guys,
today I (again) used Task29 because the phone behaved strange (didn't find certain files anymore....again).
But this time its quite different. After finishing Task29 I wanted to enter the bootloader to flash the rom from my sd-card (\kovsimg.nbh)....but it won't start holding vol-down + power!!!
It does start normally, but hangs (due to no rom) at sony ericsson logo.
I can do hard reset, but as no rom is on the internal mem, it doesn't have any effect.
I need the bootloader, but it simply doesn't react on the key combo!
Has somebody got any idea?
I mean, it can't be bricked as everything else works like it should, right??
I have OliNex 0.72 since last couple of rom-flashes (~6). Been doing this for a while now....but each time successfully.
Please give me some feedback!
Thank you!
greets,
Andicp
the problem maybe on your Volume down hardware botton... try to reassamble the x1 and try to change the volume down hardware.. but you must have skill to soldering the hardware.. if you doesnt have the skill just go to phone service.. to change the volume down hardware...

Thanks for your reply!
But then it would act as if I'd push only the power button, right? And the Vol-Down button worked before that.
It simply doesn't react by using this key combo.
If I press power button alone, it switches on normally.
Any idea how to solve that?? Please help!
After some research it looks like I would need a Jtag box and adapter for the X1 plus any Jtag-Software to get a new bootloader onto the phone. This will be prolly around 250€ all together.
...so I'd say my beloved X1 is finally (after almost 2 years of usage and flashing fun) bricked.
I don't know how this happened but i am facing the truth right now.
Only way to revive it: Does anyone know a repair-shop in/ close to Munich which has the equipment??

Thanks for your reply!
But first linked thread implies that you can enter the os.
Second one uses cam-button instead of vol-down button, but thats not my problem as my vol-down button is working.
But this confirms that my problem really is the bootloader itself.
So, no luck so far.
Thanks for your help anyway!
fastboot not an option? or has SE that not?(download mode ect)
edit: forget that its an x1. and not an x10. sorry my fault
