I managed to root my mini pro. However, I tried to debrand it and the phone stopped functioning. The touchscreen will not respond (thus, it is stuck on the "Select language" page. I've noticed that the 2 big files in the Sony Update Service that was supposed to replaced, disappeared. Leading me to conclude that those files are deleted from the mini pro.
However, PC companion, PC suite does not seem to be able to fix/recognize the phone. I've spent over 4hrs searching and attempting to fix this to no avail. Please help.
Long shot here mate, but worth a try..
Hold Home key and the power key from a cold restart. See if it resets to default again..
Good luck I feel your pain!

Try with "Update Service":you can download it from sony website...
Update Service will help, I also rooted my X10mini, after that I removed some apps and after reboot the device was frozen on bootanimation with no respond. I was recomended to use Update Service and it worked. It "reinstalled" whole device SW.
I had the same problem et I tried to solve it with SEUS but this software told me that my version is the last one and dont want to repare or install another one one my mini..(I can't see any button "repare" !)
Anyone have an idea ?
sorry for my poor english
Thanks for your suggestions. However, I managed to fix it using the Davinciteam software.
Well I guess that your solution is not free so if somebody found anything whcih could be usefull to me or anybody who can fall on this problem please tell us

Without phone connected:
Open PC-Companion and press Start under Support zone. Then press start under Update (My version is Swedish so i am just guessing what yours might be.) You will get a small box where the options are Connect and Repair.
Try that.
No, I have an error like "sorry, we cant update your phone cant be recognized"
I already tried with software like omnius, seus, pc compagnon, sin reconstruction, an utility of root by Mogway where there is an button to repare some errors. Davinci software doesn't support x10 in the free version.
I'll go on to find a solution, tks for your help

But IS there a repairbutton ? I am wondering because otherwise you might not have the latest version of PC-Companion or something? Also , when doing repair i don't think it even checks what your phone is. You have to select it from a menu that pops up.
Yes, there is a button and i tried all the software in there last version.
When I press the button "repair", I see that the program load "update prtocol" or something like that (update service ?), then It's start the update and 2sec after an error appear in a box "We can't access to mobile phone" or smthg like that.
Apparently, no communication can be done in PC compagnon.
My drivers are ok, seus apparently recognize my phone (if he told me that I have the last version and tell me that he see my phone)
A little weird huh
Under pc compagnon there is a repare button yes.
The error appear to the point "update motor boot" (démarrage du moteur de mise à jour in french)
I dont find solution yet

I also have some problem like you.. Can you give the explanation and tools (Davinciteam software) to fix it.. 'Cause i hopeless to fix it until i read this.
Use the latest Omnius, it supports x10 mini and mini pro flashing
oh sh... I paid to fix it and now there is a free solution, the world is really nasty
Well, if anyone can't fix it with Omnius, I can give some advice for DaVinci, but I really hope that I'll be the last one to use this soft (despite his efficacity).
I hope you unterstood me
what do u use to convert your firmware to work with omnius??
I have the same problem, stuck on "Sony Ericsson" screen at startup. I tried SEUS and PC Companion to no avail. How can I get Omnius, i cant seem to download it anywhere.

No offence meant, but I cannot for the life of me make out what you are trying to say here. Can you possibly try and rephrase it, perhaps taking a little more time on what you want to say?
he is saying that when the phone is turned on, there is picture of the xperia phone with the exclamation mark.
i think you would need to repair the phone with pc companion.

dont think pc companion willl work in this case. tht is b'cos the card has to be mounted fr pc companion to recognize the fone which is not possible in this case.
download the update service from the sony site. follow the instructions. this might help u recover ur fone..
best luck
i try to make update it by Update Service
but show me your phone already lasts firmware
plz any body have idea about
this problem
Even if update service states you already have the latest firmware just click the option to re-install.
To the best of my knowledge, this error (i.e. exclamation mark when boot up) occurs only when you try to debrand your X10 with a different firmware that does not match your baseband version.
I've had the same problem when I tried to debrand my X10 from X1a (R1A) to X1a (R1B). Although there shouldn't be any problem, seemingly either the firmware was corrupted or it was giving false info to either PC Companion or SEUS, so neither of those programs are able to detect the right firmware for your phone, and that's why it shows up with no option to repair your phone.
After spending much time searching and reading all the possible forums, I was unfortunate to figure out a way to force SEUS or PC Companion to rebrand or flash my backup firmware (as I already saved the original ones). The only way I found to fix that problem was a paid app which would act as SEUS by forces to flash the chosen firmware.
just google "davinciteam" and pick the first link and follow their instructions.
I'd rather to fix it myself since I had my original files, but I couldn't find a way "yet" and I needed my phone ASAP.
Disable development mode in x10

Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
I got the dreaded exclaimation mark of death after trying to do what dad6534 did. Will be interested to know the fix.
@TechGuru_x10 - how do you disable the development mode. Does this fix the exclaimation mark problem?
@dad6534 - did you have to flash back to the original firmware thru Davinciteam? Did you manage to unbrand your phone in the end?
Delete the 13740270 folder in
C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270
and try to update your phone again, only this time use the one with the restore factory settings (Or something like that)
I remembered trying out every possible way to get my phone unbricked(the exclaimation mark sign) and after wasting all my time, the last resort was to go to their service center and ask them to fix it - It's free and why go Davinci team unless you have some spare cash.
I've tried changing the files in the blob_fs to the orignal ones but to no avail. No re-install button, no repair button in both PC companion and SE update service (SEUS). SEUS just told me that my phone has the Latest firmware and the only option was to Exit. PC Companion allows me to repair, but as it is at the 3rd stage where you have held on to the back button and plugged the USB cable in, it just shows me an error in downloading files.

@J3YPS - i've deleted the folder as per your method, ran SEUpdate and i get the same message - "No new software is available for your phone" with no option to repair or restore or reinstall. I'm interested to hear if this worked for anyone else.
@Aztriltus - I have tried using the davinci client to reflash the firmware but it hasnt work. It is looking increasingly likely that I will need to see the service center. BTW what did you tell them when they asked you how you bricked the phone?

Hello everybody!
At first, sorry for my bad english but I've got a really big problem!
After updating the latest stock rom over PC Companion, I wanted to get Root with X10root.apk...so far...after rooting the device I've got the "great" idea to download Market Enabler cause I couldn't see Root Explorer FREE inside the market...
after reboot the disaster...
many apps FC at startup :-(
wrong display resolution :-(
no chance to accept root permission, popup is not shown in cause of the wrong resolution...difficult to explain...
Can't reflash with PCC or SEUS..."no Software avialible for your device!"
Can't install xRecovery:
APK - Can't accept root...the resolution problem
ADB - system read only
What the hell?!?!?!
Any suggestions? My Girlfriend will kill me if she notice whats up with her X10
P.S. Superuser don't disappear after factory reset...is this normal??
In this case I've got no warranty...right???
Oh damn...my girl REALLY killing me...
Hello Jozinek, thanks for the quick reply...
do you mean this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10738467
X10 Flash tool??
I tried it serveral times with the "SE Flash Driver" installed...it alway says:
"Waiting for device" or "Waiting for Xperia"...something like that...
I clicked on the FLASH button...then connected the device with pressed hold button for recovery...Result: Waiting for Xperia...
Click in the flasher to flash until you see waiting for device (or something like that)
Turn the phone off hold the back button then quickly plug the usb cable in the mini and hold
Does it not flash close the flasher on your pc and try over again!
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
Or try it in another windows version.
Worked for me.
flash tool not working on xp but working on windows 7.
I've tried EVERYTHING!!!!!
deinstalled all drivers...reinstalled...etc...
Update with PCC, SEUS, X10 Flash Tool (my last hope)
Then I've tried it on my mates laptop with windows 7...no luck again...PCC,SEUS,Flash Tool...I was really desperate at this point!!!
Now I tried again, another mate, another computer...
First try with PCC...no problem...reflash...READY!!!
But...........WTF?????
Why PCC says "No update for your device" on 2 different PCs and finally works on the third one?? This could not be a driver problem!!
Now I'm very glad not need to hide from my girlfriend!
Glad to see that you revived your GFs phone
Just to inform you, x10 series is hard to brick.. I brick it countless of times and i just reflash it with Binary Flash tool.
Sometimes your windows and drivers can be a problem. For instance, when i bought my Mini it was on stocked android 1.6, when i tryed to update him i got message that there is no update for my phone. I googled a bit and visit SE site, and there it is, my FW was listed as a part of 2.1 update, but again, i was unable to update. I reinstalled my Win (from XP to Win7) and first thing that i do is to try to update my Mini.. And there it is! Update available!!
Anyway.. Mini cant be bricked, after everything that i did to him, so many reflashes and it works like a charm.
i, hi also bricked my GD phone after trying to debrand it.
i replace the build.prop file with this one E10i_build.prop_UK_Generic and then i rebooted.
since this time, the only thing that appears on my screen is sony ericsson, then it reboots.....
what can i do to make it work again?
thanks for your help.
finally i managed to make it work again.
i m relieved
I don't know about PC Companion, I prefer the SE Update Service (SEUS).
Even tought there are no newer Firmware, it's always possible to reinstall/repair with the same firmware as the phone already have.
Used SEUS for that several times trying to revive a M1i Aspen. Luckily the X10 Mini is a little harder to brick
i guess you're german? then try this

müsste auf jedenfall funktionieren =)
wenn du hilfe brauchst, sag bescheid
ftf verses rar?
My x10 mini pro is also bricked. It just looping when rebooting. I trying to use flashtool to fix it, but I am stuck.
Downloaded the U20i 2.1 firmware.But, this is a rar file. The flashtool wants a ftf file. How do I manage this problem?

a rar file is just a compressed file (like a .zip)
if your on windows, download 7zip or WinRar and try extracting the rar file.. (you might find the files that you need are in there) flashtool requires a bunch of .sin files should be 8 or 9 of them... loader.sin, system.sin etc
stick these in the firmware folder of flashtool and you should be good to go.
(I was the first person to test "Flashtool" for Bin4ry on the X10mini last year and I have never had a problem with it)

interesting story Lol .. thank god u got her phone fixed .. =P ..
I made a terrible mistake, I followed the instructions to update to MiniCM6 and forgot the 'Factory Reset' before restarting my phone.
Now the X11 mini keeps rebooting in loop, I cannot access xRecovery any more. When I withdraw the battery and plug the usb when pressing the back button, I can flash with FlashTool.exe again as I needed before to have the baseband 015.
I don't know what to to and cannot find any clue on the forum.
tomorrow will be a day without phone... back to the 80's
Someone knows what I could do?
(To be more precise I uploaded MiniCM7, not MiniCM6)
The software Sony PC companon told me that there is not version yet available for this model, very strange after warning me that all my data would be deleted I hoped a full restore (it also requires a start with the back button pressed)
Do a SEUS repair, install recovery through the flash tool and then go to the Mini PRO forum and download their ROMs because a Mini Pro cannot use a Mini (without the keyboard) ROM and visa versa.
Let this be a lesson to always follow the instructions... thats why they there...
Good luck!!

I've spent hours using it... remember I have no phone anymore, it's a good motivation.
This whole thread that you link (thank you for trying) just say "launch SEUS". Basically, the first thing that I tried before writing here.
I though you use to have such problem and had your own way. But since the SEUS and PC Compagnon failed you seems as powerless as me
Even on the SE forum nobody know what to do when the "repair" is just not available.
There's a ROM for each provider, I guess Sony bugged on Vodafone Australia.
Then, Try this

Hey Guys,
I've broken my Xperia X10 Mini...
I tried to flash it using Flash Tool and firmare E10i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Sony Ericsson.ftf (I read that it work to E10a to )
And everting looks good, but after the process he can Turn On!!
When I push the power button, my cellphone vibrate, but don't appear anithing...
I tried to reinstall using SEUS but he says that there's no longer update avaible and don't show me any option to "install anyway"
Can anybody help me??
Try to find a way to unplug the battery.
I don´t know what the Xperia looks like inside but on the Mini there is a small rubber thing behind the cover that exposes the battery connection.
Have you tried hard reset?
And then SEUS?
Yeah, I tried to reinstall by SEUS...
I have shutdown the Battery and nothing...
Is that Hard Reset is made by Hardware???
I can't find anything about that...

I need to flash my X10 Mini, but I can't find the firmware for It anywhere with a working link. Anyone that still have the file and willing to share?
There are only plenty of links to sites that are down
I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.9-robyn on the phone and then afterwards it just won't start anymore, so i need to flash it and then use SEUS to restore it.
UPDATE!
I found everything and fixed everything I needed by just flashing It with a stock kernel.

I'm not looking for how to do It..... Read the question before you post. I appreciate you trying to help, but at least understand what the question Is first.
I'm looking for the firmware for the flashtool so I can flash my device (.ftf file)
They guides that teaches you how to fix a bricked phone got links to megaupload (that got shutdown not long ago) and multiupload (also got shutdown) for the firmware I'm looking for.
If you can't turn the phone on, then flashtool won't help you. You have to able to turn the phone on to get to download mode for flashtool, or Pc Companion, or SEUS to do their thing.
If your phone doesn't turn on, you've got a hard brick. Which is bad.

No, it can be a hard brick, he didn't do anything to put his device in danger (from what he claims).
He just needs a stock .ftf file for mini, which I was planning to do in the past, but did only for the pro... I am sorry my friend... There is only one solution -to make the ftf file yourself, which is something very confusing and you are going to need another mini to do this. But don't get your hopes down, it is possible, at least...

The phone it self comes to a point where there is some light on the screen, but i can't see the SE Logo anymore. I can charge the phone without problem from what it looks.
If I can get hold of another mini how can I make the ftf?
What did I do to achive this problem??
I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.9-robyn and it ended with a phone that got stuck during boot. Then I got to a guide where someone said "Hardreset the device and use SEUS", but SEUS always says that my phone has the latest software.

As far as SEUS is concerned, you DO have the latest software. It just doesn't realise that what you have doesn't work. Select the option to reinstall the software.

Only one problem here, I don't have the option to reinstall the software at all after it says that I already have the latest software.
Can it be that the option is no longer there depending on SEUS version?

There is a repair option in PC Companion, see it, please! The repair option on PC Companion is Support Zone --> Update --> Repair.
BTW, to hard reset :
1. Turn the phone off
2. Press the POWER button
3. Press and hold home key aprox 3 seconds
4. The hard reset is starting.

I will try that thanks, but you need to hard reset before the repair with PC Companion?
I managed to find the stock kernel so now I'm starting the device, but I get a SE logo and then It shuts off.
One problem when I try to repair on step 2 (prepare step) I get a error unable to start or phone update update components. (the pc companions is installed with the newest version)
