Any idea why? I did the same just yesterday and got the same problem ,so I had to restore system using SEUS tooll, but I still need to root my phone, any comment is welcome and thanks in advance for everybody..

I was following the instruction mentioned on this link:

www DOT xperiax10 DOT net/2011/09/08/root-your-gingerbread-xperia-x10-tutorial/#comment-31826

And my phone is running GingerBread.

Relax. Be confident.

Restore your phone with SEUS first.

And then use this method to root your phone :

Other methods involve confusing things. While rooting through this method, remember a few things :
(1) make sure u have installed adb drivers for ur device
(2) enable "USB DEBUGGING"
from (Menu\Settings\Applications\Development)
(3) enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES"
from (Menu\Settings\Applications)
(4) make sure flashtool is not running in the background.

It'll root your phone with just one click.
Then you can download xrecovery through flashtool.

hello my name is henky, and i have same problem with arch.ahmed90
but somehow my problem look more complicated
i try to Upgrade Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 to Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich with MIUI 4, based from this site: www dot androidauthority dot com/xperia-x10-ics-miui-4-50791/

but i'm failed to flash the kernel data, maybe because i'm still newbie in this thing
after i turn on my phone it get stuck on black screen like arch.ahmed90 i try to waiting for a long time, almost 1 hour. but nothing happen my screen stuck at sony ericsson logo.
But the real problem is that my usb doesn't work now and i cannot connect the X10i to my computer. Is there a way to fix it?, i already read from other post but that doesn't help my problem.

Is ur phone rooted? Can u open xrecovery now (hit the back button few times when u see sony ericsson letters )? Did u unlock ur bootloader? If u didn't u can install kernel trough xrec.

1.- download stock generic firmware
2.- download and install flashtool
3.- inside flashtool you'll find several folders, unrar your firmware (X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_1241-1846.ftf ) inside firmware folder, do not connect your phone yet
4.- run flashtool and click on "flash" icon, pick flashmode, then OK
5.- On the left side select your firmware and hit OK (It will say "preparing files for flashing")
6.- A window giving you instruccions will pop up, just press and hold the back button on your phone, connect the USB cable (which is already connected to PC, of course ) and don't let go the button until you read flashtool started to flash
7.- wait 'till it finishes
8.- It will only take a few minutes, the only moment it seems it's stucked is when is flashing "system" , don't worry, it takes a little longer that the other files.
9.- after is done, just unplug, turn it on and wait, don't forget first boot always takes a little longer too!!!!!!
10.- If you want to, use flashtool to root your phone and install xrecovery afterwards, that's it, brand new
Hope it helps and is clear enough, any question just ask, I'm usually here.

Don't forget to hit "thanks" if I was helpful!!

Hi, what do i need if I have a X10a instead of X10i to recover?

My crash after doing a Theme update. Then it was it a boot loop. I tried to recover by re flashing the firmware and now I am stuck with this Sony Ericsson boot..
