I want to reset my Xperia X10 Mini pro.
It is possible?
If possible how to do?
Reset of X10 mini and pro
You can go in to "SD card settings" an do a reset of the device.
I have the same questions
HELP plis
You can do a full wipe using SEUS on a PC - just go through the usual update process, and when it tells you you've already got the latest software, just update anyway
Here's the link to the SE Update Service program:

BEWARE THIS WILL DELETE ALL USER DATA, CONTACTS ETC FROM YOUR DEVICE
1. Download pc companion or sony ericsson update service.
2. Start up pcc or seus
3. Connect phone via usb cable
4. In PCC choose support zone, then update, then theirs an option for repair phone, In SEUS follow onscreen instructions to update software
5. Wait until update/repair is done and disconnect and switch back on the device
Phone is now reset back to completely stock

take a good look, the green LED should flash atleast ONCE....i had the problem when i was new to rooting and installing ROMS.....do this...
1. make your deskie/lappy fully prepared to flash your phone by SEUS, only requiring you to connect the phone in flash mode (even keep your USB to phone cord inserted to the computer)
2. power off the phone by holding the home+power key (& keep holding them, now press the back button).
3.release the power key but KEEP HOLDING THE HOME KEY and the back key...(if you release the home key, the cell will restart).
4. now connect the phone to the computer and hopefully it will connect in flash mode
hope this helps in solving your problem
if i helped you, kindly press the "THANKS" button

My X10 mini was a brick (or I thought it was) because it was behaving like you described: the phone was stuck on the SE logo and it wasn't entering Flash Mode although I pressed the back key when the Sony Ericsson white letters were displayed.
Here is my solution
Open SEUS and select your phone. Click Next.
SEUS will wait for the device.
Connect your bricked phone via the USB cable.
Then you must access Flash Mode, at all costs.
SEUS, PC Companion and FlashTool can detect this phone only in Flash Mode.
Note: If your phone is resetting correctly (pressing and holding Power+Center) and the phone is being detected as an unmounted removable drive on the computer as mine did, it should be able to enter Flash Mode, no matter it has been already stuck for ages on the first screen with the white letters. My phone had enough battery charge to go through the whole process.
To enter Flash Mode with the Xperia X10 Mini I had to:
1. Perform a hard reset of the phone (Press and hold Power+Center)
2. As soon as the phone vibrates, release both keys. Phone will restart.
3. The white Sony Ericsson logo will be displayed.
4. Press and hold Power+Center and immediatly the Back key (the three keys at the same time)
5. Keep the keys pressed until the LED turns green.
After doing the correct sequence and entering Flash Mode, the LED turns green and the screen turns completely black. SEUS detected my phone at this point, downloaded the original firmware and installed it automatically.
do u have trick for my problem here forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388476
my x10 just vibrate once and stack on blank screen.

When I use SEUS It keep saying "You have the newest software available"
I tried the hard reset and all. The phone now just won't start at all
Hi,
i got the same problem what you describe ive stuck at the SE logo and cant get into recovery and i cant use flashtool. i tried to do what you say in the first post, but when i press the shell root button, it says "wait for device" then its not responding, and i cant moce on to the next step... what should i do now?

X10 mini revived!
Hi,
The procedure described above works fine until you've the phone recognized by the computer.
Here's how It has finally been recognized:
1) Completely switch off the phone (Do not leave it with SE logo).
-You can do the either by removing the battery connector (be cautious) under a rubber on the left(not above) of the camera lens.
-OR when the USB is plugged in,
(1.1) press center + back + power button until power off,
(1.2) then release center and power button AND KEEP back button down(about 2-5 seconds) until green led lights on. remark:LED will stay green until you unplug USB or phone switches on.
(1.3) Unplug USB.
Your phone should be OFF now. SE logo doesn't appear anymore (Wait 30s to be sure)
2) Unplug the USB cable from computer and plug it in another USB port of the PC.
3) At this time, if you plug USB on your X10 mini, it should be recognized as a SEMC device (It has worked for me).
-Success? Go step 4
-Failure, retry (from step 2 should be enough) with another USB port. If you've tryied all ports already, I've no idea.
4) If step 3 is successful, unplug USB.
5) Start SEUS (update service program from SE), choose you phone, follow the instructions on screen. Remark: Even if it says that you've got the last version, there is an "Install" button available on the bottom right corner. Click it!
Hope it'll help.

i already install 1 of this custom rom (froyo), and this is the first time i tried, n after i install it, my phone stuck at SONY ERICSSON LOGO and restart again and again by itself...how do i resolve this...please anyone!!!
Use Sony Ericsson Update Service to reflash the phone to stock then try again making sure you install the custom rom correctly
And when you install the custom rom, before you reboot the device do a full system wipe as I had the same problem because I never done that

Install Sony Ericsson PC Companion. There is an option which allows you to update your phone, where there's also an option to repair it. Be advised that ALL your personal information (contacts, sms, mms, calendar) will be deleted. I hope you get your phone back.
If you want to install new custom ROMs, try following the procedure step by step. I have failed the first time (got the reboot loop), but then I have successfully updated my phone.

sry if this is not the place to post this but really a need help
1.Plug your phone to computer, to charge it.
2.When you'll think that your battery is more than 50%, unplug phone from pc. If your phone will be stuck at SE logo(or smth like that), hold "power"+"home" button until you see black screen. Than immediately press and hold "back" button, while plugging it to the pc(or mac). If you see green flashlight and black screen-->congrats, your phone is almost restored. If your phone will have black screen, just hold back button, while plugging it to the pc. Try this 3-4 times, before you'll green flash light and black screen.
3.Restore it using seus, or with Sony Ericsson Pc Companion.
P.S.GingerDX v021b requires unlocked bootloader, and flashed nAa kernel. And if you'll face some problems, pm me

I have the same situation as Eljuan28. I was sort of assuming that the Ginger installer would take care of more than it did. :-(
Reset from a "Sony Ericsson" screen via power + home was in general good information.
It took quite a few tries before I got the green light - you REALLY need to be fast or I'm simply not doing it right. I made is a few times but then it was split second, and afterwards I wasn't sure if I let of of the power toggle and home before pressing the back. Edit: messed with it several additional time, and one trick was to actually have the USB cable in when doing the reset. Got to green right away then.
Some additional questions:
PC Companion says that an X10 Mini is attached. I select repair, acknowledges that all my personal data will be deleted and it progresses for some time. Suddenly, the repair option on the PC Companion aborts with a message that Sony Ericsson upgrade servers are overloaded ... Phone screen is back with Sony Ericsson logo/text, the green light is off.
Tried with SEUS, which stated I was already with the most recent version but allowed me to proceed and go on anyway. I am not allowed to link properly to SEUS as I don't have the sufficient number of posts but a working URL to SEUK is "seuk dot tk" (on ot the XDA members own the domain and post it there).
PS: Wrong thread, but a working GingerDX 017 couldn't just be updated?
BacchusFLT,
You can update from gingerDX 017 up to 021b, if you installed (V017) the nAa kernel version. Just flash kernel and flash new gingerDX 021b. If you have stock kernel's version--> you have to flash kernel, flash gingerDX 021b and full wipe/factory reset.
Sony Ericsson's servers can be overloaded like every other server. To solve this problem, it is necessary to wait some time and try again. Optional you can use SEUS. The screen must be black, while restoring your x10 mini/pro, so if you have Sony Ericsson's logo appeared->it is impossible to restore it. To get correctly to restore mode, you must have switched off phone(watch picture)
Hope it helps.

Dear Mrakoris,
Many thanks for the patience.
First: SEUS did the trick for me. I tried multiple times with some time in between but the Companion complained about overload all the time. SEUS downloaded fine, and I cann't understand why that would work if Companion didn't - the only load on servers would be to fetch the files, and SEUS could fetch it with no problems.
Second: So, reset with the USB cable in and pressing back did work for me, and letting SEUS force install on top of the current installation. Now I am back with vanilla 2.1.1A.0.6, Kernal 2.6.29.
Again, many thanks!
I had this problem long time ago, but it happened because I tried to flash the rom even knowing my baseband was different, so my phone stuck on SE logo and restart in an infinite loop..
Luckly I had Xrecovery installed, so I mounted de SD card, and I can explain how, pc companion recognized the phone and I could restore it to the original rom.
So is a little complicated if u dont have xrecovery or CWM I think...
Hi,
I tried to upgrade mi xperia neo to Tweake 1.0 with the recovery, and now dont start.
When i power the phone or plug the charger appears the Sony Ericcson logo and continues there all time.
I can´t enter in flash mode (son i can´t use seus or flash tool), always appears other time the sony ericsson logo.
The bootloader is closed.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Are you sure that you are doing the correct procedure to use flash mode on the phone? Here it is:
1. Turn off the phone.
2. Remove the battery for at least 10 seconds.
3. Insert the battery again.
4. Press and hold the "back" button on the phone.
5. While still holding the "back"button pressed connect the phone with teh usb cable to the pc. Flashtool should now recognize the phone.

Don't destroy it!!
With the following procedure you'll unbrick the phone but unfortunately you will lose all data stored there (the sdcard is not affected though!).
0) Physically disconnect the phone from the USB (if it's connected) and turn it off (remove the battery if it's stuck).
1) Go to Google, search for "Sony Ericsson Update Service" (SEUS) and download it. (I can't post links because I don't have 10 posts yet..)
2) Install SEUS and start it up. It will update itself on first start.
3) Once SEUS is done updating itself, click on "I hereby accept the license agreement" and then click on "Start".
4) Select your phone from the list and then click "Next".
5) While the phone is turned off, press the back button (ONLY!) and keep it pressed.
6) While keeping the back key pressed, connect the phone to the computer (USB).
7) Don't let go from the back button unless SEUS tells you to.
8) Once SEUS detects your phone, click on "Install". Click "Yes" to let it start the flashing process.
9) Wait for SEUS to finish. Do NOT remove the USB from the phone unless the process is completed (it might take a while for it to download the rom and flash it onto the phone).
10) Once SEUS is finished, remove the phone from the USB and start it up (it might take a while to start up).
It will be running on stock 2.1 Eclair ROM, with stock kernel (no root, no cwm/recovery). As good as new!
Please post back with results! Don't destroy the poor thing!
Brick
Hi,
I've installed JB ROM and wanted to rollback.
But now, after hundreds of tries, I can´t install stock KERNEL/ROM. It's a complete brick.
Using SEUS, I get the message that my phone is already updated.
HELP

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Look again and you will notice that SEUS gives you the option to proceed anyway.
Just press the button and the process will go on...
Solved
Well, I don't know if SEUS will continue or not.
After some ours trying, I've managed to solve it.
I had to download a stock kernel/ROM and flash it with flashtool. Wasn't easy cause I couldn't find a suitable one. I had to create it.
It's 200mb. If someone wants it, tell me how to post it.
