Sony X10 Start Problem!!!

[#1]

I heard about Android Gingerbread update 2.3.3, so I downloaded the ftf file and a flash tool, I then followed the instructions and started to flash the phone then while it was installing it come up withan error saying I need to turn the phone on and then go to settings and allow unknown sources and debugging, so I unplugged the phone from the laptop and when I switched it on it starts and the sony ericsson screen turns on and then it goes to a screen that has a triangle with a exclamation mark in it and then the phone switched off it keeps doing this. I tried to run a update but I cant start the phone while pressing the back button because it just restarts each time. I really need help with this!!!!!!! How do I get my phone to work again even if I have to go to Android 1.6 or whatever the first version is???????

Running the update service might well help.  The phone is off when you connect it, so it shouldn't matter that it currently seems to be malfunctioning  Try the following link

I do hope this helps.  Let us know...

ok...repeat the whole process of flashing again 😉

you can do it numerous times so no worries..

flash the ftf file with the flash tool once more..

Hey Guys, just to let you know I managed to get it to work I saw that each time we ran the flash tools it flashed different to different sections so I removed the memory card and tried again then it worked. Thanks a lot for everyone that replied and helped out, really appreciate it!!!!!

By the way do you guys happen to know how to restore a backup as I cant download the backup and restore app from m.sonyericsson.com/backup??
