you have to switch the phone off.. take out the battery for 5 seconds (min).. then.. this is the bit you need three hands for... you need to hold the back button whilst plugging in the USB cable.. continue to hold the back button until the software tells you to let go..

Resisting the temptation for sarcasm....

Yes, it's the x10i method.

There is only only method for the X10a/i/mini/mini pro/1.6/2.1/2.2 into flashmode, as Mr Iceman has already explained, if it doesn't work for you you're doing something wrong or your phone is broke. To save having to use 3 hands, plug the lead into the phone first, then attaching it to the PC is a much simpler task.

Xperia sola is different than x10
so if you ask in xperia S forums you will get your answer

Hey Teio, check if that video works for you, avoid all the information just pay attention on the hardware process:

Turn off phone or take out battery
Conect your USB cable to PC
Open Flashtool
Select Kernel that you wanna flash
Wait for pop up message
Connect your phone
Hold back button
Re Insert Battery

Put Xperia x10 in flash mode

Regards
