Xperia X1 bootloader problem - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, my Xperia X1 does not boot normally. I did not mess with the SPL or bootloader. I made a call, put it back in it's pouch, tried to make a call a few hours later and got the bootloader screen instead. All software and ROMs are stock standard and was never changed. I started by reading XDA forums. The phone will power up to bootloader screen when switched on. Serial is displayed. Plug in a USB cable to PC and this changes to USB. The PC makes its sound to indicate a USB device has been connected. It then says the device cannot be recognised and removes the usb icon from the taskbar. Activesync, mtty, SEUS or any other software will not recognise it. I have since put RA2 on a SD card and updated the ROM. This worked fine. There is no way I know of to HardSPL the phone as it cannot communicate with a PC. If you plug in the wall charger, car charger or USB cable to a PC, the phone will skip the bootloader screen and switch on. The phone cannot be charged while switched on. No charging symbol and the battery will still run down. Switch the phone off and it will however charge. Anybody seen this before? Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

charmer dead...

flashed charmer with wizard...an now its totally dead...cant enter boot....anyone can help...
dead - can you describe it better? is it freezing in the splashscreen? or not powering on completely? have you tried to charge it using normal charger, not usb sync cable?
what about bootloader, dead too? try to hold camera button and press reset. if three color bars appears, you have a reason to stay calm.

complitely dead...not powering...cant enter boot...
hmm, it looks bad. I don't have any valuable ideas...but:
maybe you may try to charge battery in another charmer. When I bought my one, directly after unpacking the box, it wasnť able to start. I was angry, but then ve have tried to charge the battery in my friend's charmer and it worked (the battery was not completely discharged, but maybe some electronics inside was somehow blocked)
otherwise, you can try to diagnose electric circuits inside - but do it carefully, you may easily damage it!
speaker charmer
it has production defect. the HTC has knowledge of this... and is about one reparation in warranty. [[]]

I have a problem with my mda compact II and it was almost like describe.
after i tried to upgrade my pda, the update went to the end and finished successfully, the pda doesn't turn on, it shows the t-mobile image and then goes off, if i press camera button and turn on button i can see the tree colors, but what should i do now?
help me please.
use official t-mobile rom (in t mobile official page, difficult to find, get the link from the XDA-Wiki).
1. put your charmer into the 3 colour screen mode
2. kill your activesync in your PC (or just disable USB link)
3. run the EXE of the offical ROM
Do it before your battery went dead.

try leaving it off with the battery in and plugged in for about an hour to see if you can get a charge, otherwise use another battery that is fully charged. Only other way is to use a SD backup which you can then install with the power cable plugged in.
also you do not need an activesync link to install ruu rom packages. also long as your in bootloader with usb showing in the corner, the ruu will be able to find it.

PLZ help
You can buy an adapter for charmer in which you can insert USB cable, power cord and headphones jack.
can you please recommend what it is called as search for MDA COMPACT 2 USB cable, power cord and headphones jack on ebay doesnot come up with any thing.
Cheers

do u mean this item, i am not sure from description if it can sync using a usb cable at the same time being charged by main power source.
Have the same problem
HI, I have the same problem, and even with the battery been on charge for a full day, as soon as a try the updates it comes back saying there is under 50% charge. When I try in the sync holder with power as soon as the USB is connected it powers off.
Did you find a answer to the problem ?
Cheers

this is nothing , my friend , MY BATTERY DOES NOT EVEN CHARGE AT ALL
IT IS NOTE DETECTED AT ALL.
i have tried fooling the device by using the cradle with power supply and usb connected with pc but it neither cahrges the device nor it is deted=cted by the pc.

Button ROM reads wrong battery power.

Hi,
I want to update my ROM from a standard WM5 to WM5SE rev 5.0. Following instructions, I downgraded with the button ROM to let me CID unlock my G3 Jammin. The butotn ROM installed, but when it reset it would not boot and both the red and blue lights would flash together, the screen would flash on, and then it would shut off.
This pattern is repeated every couple of second and doesn't stop until I pull the USB cable out, after which it repeats once more then switches off. I can't turn the phone back on with the power button. From here I can get back into the locked cycle by powering on with the USB cable plugged in (back into reset cycle), or into windows with the mains power cable (see below).
I think this means that the problem is related to my USB cable being plugged in. When I put the mains power cable in, the PDA will boot into windows. Related to this is what I think may be the main culprit. In setting, Windows says the battery is on 0%!!! Even the mains power cable doesn't seem to ever charge it, so I think it must be a software problem related to the ROM. Inceidentally, I recall that I had to softreset near the end of Button ROM's install, perhaps this is part of the problem...
Now I can reinsert the USB cable only during the Windows boot process, which as mentioned has to be initiated with the mains power cord, ie. I swap over half way through. If I change from mains power to USB after Windows has fully booted then the phone resets and the above reseting cycle occurs again.
Once Windows is fully booted with the USB cable in everything is stable and Activesync detects the phone. The problem is that when I try to reinstall a stable ROM, the update software throws the following error: Error [220] mains battery power. So the software I believe is reading that the battery is less than 50% (ie. probabaly thinks there is 0 charge left) and I can't reinstall a new ROM!!
The other thing to note is that I can get into bootloader mode with the mains power cable, but as soon as I try to switch over to the USB cable, the phone resets and it again gets locked into the perpetual reset cycle.
Please help me!! Any ideas are appreciated.
Gavin.
Hi,
Found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1216580&postcount=23
Seems like a similar problem. He solved it by replacing the battery. Is it possbile to destroy a battery while flashing a ROM?

Same problem again:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329953&highlight=battery+during+flash
Wow 40 views, and not a single idea?
Well I think I'm going to invest in a cradle, so that I can have both mains power and a usb connection, hopefully I'll be able to reflash with this. Anyone have expereince with this method? What is a good cradle?

Persistant Tri Color Screen

Hi all,
I had posted this in the noob section first but got no response
To clear things up, I HAVE searched the forums for this issue & i did find the Topics However it seems whichever solution i try doesn't work.
The Problem: My Sex1i always loads the tricolor screen where it says no image file found.
The only way i get it to load the Win OS is if i either plug in the usb cable or any electric charger cable be it my car charger or wall socket.
Here's what i have tried to resolve it.
1. I have performed a hardSPL following the instructions on this forum.
2. I then update my ROM to the [100% CLEAN WM6.5][2010-01-12] Xperia UnOff Series - Infinite & Xperia X1.5 found on this forum too
3. I have also update my Radio & my camera to the latest roms found on this forum too (Not that they related to the problem anyway)
4. I have tried turning off Active & connecting to MTTY.exe everthing goes as instructed BUT when i connect to MTTY.exe i get a command prompt-like Named [CLIENT] & no matter what i type it just keeps repeating [CLIENT].
So i honestly need assistance with the MTTY.exe program cuz i cant proceed from there.
5. I have tried Soft & Hard Resetting My SeX1i but no joy
My Tricolor screen reads:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.0LiNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
Please assist me in case i have missed out on anything.
Thanks in Advance

I just tried that out, No Joy
Mine also switches on as long as its plugged in to a PC or into the charger, However if i switch my SeX1 on without the cable I still get the tri-color screen
On thing to note though is whenever i plug my phone into a PC, I get the "USB Not Recognized" Balloon first but the storage card device does show up in My Computer

I have an idea, hard reset it while plugging the cable, it will solve the boot up problem
but.. now i can't charge the phone while phone on... i need to switch off the phone before charging...
This looks like same problem I have.
I was recharging my phone as normally, but as I was taking it off the charger after I thought it would be fully recharged, I noticed it hadn't loaded a bit.
I did soft-reset as I thought it would be WinMo glitch and after that it loaded only tri-colour screen. I resetted the phone about 10 times and removed battery and kept resetting. No help.
I had battery out for about 2-3 hours and after that it started normally, but now I had serious problem, it wouldn't recharge battery. I turned off phone and plugged it to charger, I saw that lights started to blink at side and saw that it would recharge normally, and left it for the night.
Morning it had fully recharged. I thought it would be ok at that moment..
Next day I plugged phone to charger again and it did not recharge again.
I started to test chargers for faulty. It wouldn't load from any of my chargers, tested from my computer that was off at time. Tested every USB plug that i could find. Nothing.
My MP3 player charged from every plug and charger, but phone did nothing. I turned on my computer, as Vista was started, I plugged phone and it started to charge! I unplugged it, plugged back, it still loaded.
But now ActiveSync started to bring up errors, saying it could not sync phone and it had problems at desktop(?). Changed phone from ActiveSync to Memorycard, it was acting normally and charging. I thought it was ActiveSync now that was glitching. Never changed it back and got that out of my mind, since I don't sync my phone with my Outlook or vice versa.
I went for a week or two charging my battery from my computer. Testing every once and while from charger, and only noticing it would not charge.
About 2 weeks ago I tested some custom roms from here, as I thought it would help my charging problem. Flashed new WM6.5 custom rom to it, did hard reset. But still it would not charge from charger, only computer.
Flashed back to stock. Next morning I took the phone to shop, where I bought it, for warranty repair, since I have had phone for only for 6 months.
They said it would take 1-3 weeks for repairs and gave me web-tracking code for it. I observed it daily.
Last week I noticed there: "Service delaying, sent for factoryrepair."
I think my phone has fried some chip.
Since then nothing has heard from there, still waiting. Hope they get it fixed fast, since I'm in trouble without my calender!
I wanted to share this all with you because I courage everybody having this problem to take it for repairs. I wouldn't believe they would send it to factoryrepair for having a minor problem.
P.S. sorry about so long text and for any misspelling, english is not my native language.
SE wants us change new phone :S mine is W37 from factory, just 1 year..
did someone solved this problem my sex1 also got this problem..i brought it to cell shop but they just took the usb port from the board itself and now i dont know what to do..the part is still not available..does anyone know the temporary solution i just want to use my phone till the parts arrive..thanks

Tilt will not charge, simply boots up when plugged in

I have a major problem with my Tilt, when it is off and I plug it in, the phone will not charge and instead just boots up into Windows Mobile. While turned on, the phone will not charge; nothing happens when I plug in the USB cable.
The USB connector *looks* OK, no obviously bent pins or damage compared side by side to other HTC phones, but I'm not an expert with a microscope.
Is this a lost cause or are there things I can try to get the device to charge?
i'm not sure my observations will help you but i noticed the following behavior ONCE...i was too lazy to re-test and confirm my theory, but here goes:
1. if the phone was improperly shut down, the phone would turn on and start booting as soon as i would plug in my wall charger (NON HTC, its a generic Motorola charger). in my case, my device charges fine once the boot up has cleared the boot splash screen.
2. using the usb cable plugged into my pc, the phone would NOT turn on when i would plug in the usb cable. i MIGHT have shut down the phone properly prior to trying this but my memory isn't keeping up with me right now
i guess what i'm trying to say is that i THINK the device is built to turn on the moment a charging source is available, that is if it was improperly shut down.
Thanks for that tip...my Tilt is now plugged in via USB and will charge whether or not it is on or off. I still have to try it with the regular AC adapter, but at least it's not dead!
Edit: Everything is good to go Thx for the tip

[Q] Phone says usb connected... But its not

Hi Everyone,
I was running GR-11 last night. My phone started acting weird so i decided to reboot it. When it shut off it didnt turn back on. I hit the power and still nothing. I was eventually able to get into download mode with a combination of usb and buttons without battery. So i flashed back to stock. Still the same problem, if i turn the phone off i cannot get it to turn back on unless i pull out the battery, plug in the usb, put the battery in, wait for the charging screen then i can turn it on and remove the usb. However, when the phone is running it says USB connected even though there is no usb cable connected. If i leave the usb cable plugged in while the phone turns on i can use ADB but cannot mount as drive.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks
tldr; phone constantly says usb connected. Cannot mount as drive. Cannot use adb unless phone boots with usb connected.
Sounds like a broken usb port. Get a Warranty replacement.
Well darn.
I had read a thread about possible corrosion of the usb contacts on the phone so i used an emery board to clean the contacts but no luck. i guess it will have to go in for warranty repair on monday.

The handful of stock Froyos I've worked with all had sticky USB notification after use in development mode. They'd be unconnected but the icon and message remained.
If you can't do the extra clicks for mounting when the message is valid and connected; that plus your booting problem points to a port malfunction.
