Hi, i've just bricked my x10 mini (wanted to edit framework-res.apk and did something wrong)
I still can see it under adb, but if i try to enter su mode to recover old file, i'm getting errors stopped(signa), segmentation fault.
If i try to recover it via seus, i can't connect the phone, coz i need to have "back" button pressed when connecting usb, but i can't turn device off. Only restart with "home" plus "power" buttons...
What am i to do?
[SOLVED]
I've managed to recover it via PC - Companion. When it says, that you have to power off the phone, then hold "back" button and connect usb, you have to hold both the "back" and "home" buttons, then press the "power" button and in the momen, when screen goes black, immediatley connect usb. Then slide your finger to hold only the "back" button.

I hit power off and connected the usb and slid my hand to the back button but still got same download error... any siggestions would be greatly appreciated...rooted u20i 1.1.a.0.12 software i have got
You can use UpdateService : sonyericsson.com/cws/support/phones/topic/updateserviceapplication, is better than PCCompanion.
Make sure u turn off firewall before dwnlding update.

App2sd / adb shell/ wi-fi problem
I've rooted my phone and also did the process of put the adb archive in the C:\ to execute by the cmd the program to set up the phone for app2sd.
The problem is: after this i doesn't have the root permissions to change the name of things in the root of the memory, neither access to wi-fi... i tried to undo the app2sd process unninstalling it, but there always a problem to access this file:
/system/bin/sh
Could someone please help me?
Thanks by now.
How i did it
Thank you!
I had big problems with this at first, but then i realised that i had to plug in usb right after i pressed the power button and also right before the vibration. This is in about 2 seconds so i plugged the usb half way at first so that i could insert it the whole way fast, before the vibration.
It's working but after many tries
Thanks again!

I tried your solution but seus just tell me my mini it's up-to-date and there's no more the button for installing anyway android.
The phone just reboots over and over
I seem to have a slightly different problem. I tried the process and right after it said that the phone is connected, the green light on the phone goes out and it looses connection to the phone and prompts me to reconnect. My phone is stuck on the sony ericsson logo, will not shut off and will not boot, can not be detected by the computer. I think I have little more than a very expensive hockey puck.

Hey yhis helped me too thanks !

Hi,
Here is my problem.
I have Xperia x10 mini/ yesterday , but mistake, I installed the firmware of the X10 mini PRO !!!
Now, once I understood the mistake, I want to flash with x10 mini firmware.
In order to flash I need to have FLASHTOOLS and need to press the BACK button - the problem is that since the phone is using now the wrong firmware, the BACK button (needed for the flushing ) doesn’t do anything and thus, I cannot install the correct firmware. I tried pushing all other buttons without any luck.
Any idea how I can overcome this problem ? I can’t use my phone now.

The flashmode is initialized before any firmware is loaded, so that isn't your problem
It should always work when your phone is turned off, you press the back-button and attach it to your usb-cable, it should enter flashmode.
If you can't turn it off, connect your phone to your pc, press home and power together till the screen goes black, and then press the back-button.
Well,
I managed to turn the phone off ( using the home+power button), then release the two of them, pressing the BACK button and connecting the USB cable .
nothing hapenns till i release the BACK button and then the phone starts to load with the previous problem.
before installing the the wrong firmware, using the BACK button was OK.
any idea?
update
I managed to hold together the HOME+BACK button and then pushed the POWER button and flashed the E10i 2.1.1 A.0.6 firmware!!!!
while doing it, i noticed for a meesage that the phone is not rooted.
upon finishing the flashing, the phone doesnt boot up, i managed to see the green light and thats all.
i also downloaded the S1 tool in order to root the phone but it says that it can not detect the phone....
what should i do now?
---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------
update #2
phone doesnt boot up.
when i connect the flashtool i get the message "Device connected in flash mode".
how to continue from that point ?
I've got a Xperia x10 mini, I was trying to unlock it (no success, as you can see). Now I'm capable of doing nothing, my xperia just shows a black screen with the sony ericcson logo on it, can't be switched off (even pressing power button and the button in the middle, it just reboot and come back to the logo) when I try to plug it into my laptop by the normal way (meaning that I remove the cable and put again pressing the button with an arrow), in order to reinstall the ROM, my laptop doesn't get it, the only thing I can get right now is that lousy black screen and I don't know what to do.
Any help out there?

Maybe is my ROM version, do you know any tested one?

Try it with SEUS on another Computer (no Windows XP)
This works for me....
SEUS or Flasher.. same thing, same result
hey, all you need to do is the following:
1- go through the steps of SEUS till you reach the step which tells you to connect your phone to the computer.
2- connect your phone to the computer (even it is still showing just the SE logo.
3- press now (after connecting to computer) the "back buttom" + "mid buttom" + "the power buttom" all togother, then as your phone turn off remove your fingers from the buttoms except the "back buttom"
here the computer will recognise your phone.
4- continue through the rest of the steps
i hope this will help

Restore original firmware with SEUS

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.

SE Xperia X10 Mini, Rooted, XRecovery loaded, Andread 2.2.1.
Now won’t boot properly. Can sometimes get past the swipe unlock screen to be confronted by:
“The application Home (process com.sonyericsson.home) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close”
And
“The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close”
Is there anyway to do a proper hardware only hard reset on the mini as obviously can't select anything from the menu ?
All the information I’ve found so far just uses the Power and Home buttons to switch it off/on. No help.
SE PC companion won’t link to upgrade as I can’t press any buttons on the mini.
I don’t hold out much hope for the FlashTool if it also requires buttons to be pressed on the device.
On most other devices you can at least remove the battery but not with this.
Just so we are clear, there is no way to brick an x10 mini. now flashtool will always work unless there is a physical defect with the phone...in which case your done. basically download flashtool (use search function) and read instructions for it(use search function). it only requires you to turn off your phone and hold back as you plug it in so there is almost no way for a device not to be able to do this.
I followed the FlashTool instructions, held down the back button but no joy. No green LED on device, no recognition on FlashTool.
I don't think the mini is turning off properly.
The only way I can turn it off is to hold the home and power buttons for 3-4 sec, but usually it restarts immediatly.
Is there another way to properly switch off/on?

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
In my case, I found that keeping the usb cable plugged into the phone was a problem. So I kept the usb cable plugged into the pc but uplugged from the phone end till flashtool asked me to start the phone in flash mode. Another problem I had was of the drivers when the phone started in flash mode even though I had PCCompanion installed. I had to install the flash mode drivers from the ggsetup-2.2.0.10.exe file which was in the drivers folder under the FlashTool install folder.
Use SEUS! Its better!
Solved! Now working back in SE Android 2.1 state. Rooting, new ROM etc tomorrow.
I found a reference online that described a small rubber panel to the left of the camera lens that gives access to the battery connector and allowed me to disconnect that battery. I could then keep it switched off until ready for the power/back button/connect USB juggling act that the SE Update Service application required in order to reload Android 2.1.
Thanks for all the replies and suggestions.
hey all, i have a small brick with my x10 mini

Do you have installed flashtool, if you have then you must go to the Drivers folder and install the gg-setuup... something like that is called... Install it... then put the phone into flash mode with two buttons... middle button below the keyboard where the three keys... button to turn on the cell phone... These two buttons are pressed and keeps... pres the thanks button if i helped you...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not sure tho.. Connect your phone to pc.. Then give adb reboot command ( considering you know what ia adb ) your phone will reboot ( as u mini.,i guess u cannot pull out ur phone battery )

no i can't pull the battery out, or i would of already >.<;
and i can't give it adb commands because during the bootup screen the adb function is not enabled yet otherwise i could use the flashtool to do it =/

These two buttons are pressed and keeps... pres the thanks button if i helped you... I had the same problem... I solve it so I put cell phone in flash mode with two buttons that I have mentioned...
i took the phone a part slightly so i was able to access the battery to disconnect it
and i tried to boot the phone into recovery or flashboot and i wasn't able to
i tried power + down volume key
and power + home key
wasn't able to get in
does anyone have any idea?
Thanks~
I'm with the same problem, but the recovery nor flashmode is accessible :/
