Hi all, I recently rooted my x10 mini pro to use barnacle wifi tethering and titanium back to remove some unwanted software. I tried to use PC companion to repair the software and remove root in order to download to new update but i get download error from pc companion. I have tried to use omnius to flash the phone but i dont know where to get the generic x10 mini software from . U20i I believe it is.
Can anyone help me with this problem either to resolve it using pc companion or tell me were i can get the u20 i software to flash with omnius. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated cos as it stands I would not even be able to upgrade to 2.1 when its released. Thanks.
I have an rooted X10 mini pro and wanted the new update but had no succes trying to update from the phone.
I used Titanium to do a complete backup and then SE update service wich had no problem to get me down to original state.
Then run the update from the phone again and now it worked like a charm.
And the "x10root" works perfectly even after the update.

I tried to use SE update service too to get back to original state but that too just says my phone s up to date and gives no option to install the software anyway only to exit the program. Some people use pc companion or SE update service to restore their phone after rooting but neither are working for me. I used the exploid method to root like most people so i dont know why i cant restore my phone software using the same SE update software that every one else uses. Really frustrating.

I rooted my x10 mini pro using the exploid method to use barnacle wifi tethering and titanium back up to remove unwanted apps. A new software update is now available but i cannot install it because my phone is rooted. They say you need to use SE update service or pc companion to remove the root.
SE Update says my software is up 2 date and so cannot update using it PC companion also says my phone is up to date and when i try to repair ,it says could not download the update and asked me to check my internet connection. I don't understand this because I use the same PC companion to download everything else fine...media go, the update engine.
Is there another way to unroot the phone...i gather it is possible to flash the default u20i software back onto the phone.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated because as things stand I would not even be able to update to 2.1 when its released.
I also had a rooted X10 mini pro and I couldn't get the update without unrooting it. I ran Update Service and just like in your case, I got a message that my phone was up to date. However, when that message appeared, I could press "Install/Update" (don't remember what the button was called) in the bottom right corner of the screen. That reinstalled everything, root was removed, so I could update it and re-root it.

When I use the SE updated service it just says no new updates for your phone. The only button on the bottom right corner is exit. There is no option to install.
Just to be sure the se update service is a separate software to pc companion not part of it. I googled seus to find it. Just in case there is confusion, it also told me that it was up to date but I had the option to reinstall

Yes I know the Update service is a separate software to pc companion. I have a mini pro U20i and it gave me no option to reinstall only to exit the program. If the update service is the program with an icon of a phone with a download arrow beside it then thats what i'm using.
I am also having the exact same problem.
I cannot unroot my phone - and the SEUS just says I have the latest version installed and will not allow me to reinstall/repair.
Any other ideas would be appreciated!
I've had the same problem - rooted the mini Pro, then couldn't download the update and couldn't repair it using SEUS (saying I had latest version) or PC Companion (error with internet connection) and couldn't unroot it.
I've sorted it by using Omnius mentioned in another thread.
Register on the site and download the software and the ROM. I chose the U20i_WORLD_1_8_CDF1238_0199, which on a thread about changing the colour listed it as UK Black. It's a RAR with 2 files. I set the larger file to be Application file and the smaller one as the Customisation file.
Flashed it and it worked, back to stock without root. Took a while to boot from the SE logo, I thought I'd bricked it!
Downloaded the official OTA 1.2.A.1.174 and it installed. Going to test now, hoping that it may improve battery life, my only complaint with the phone.
Mine's a sim-free x10.
PS - It's still blue scheme, not black.
Hi,
somehow I managed to load the "E10i-CUSTOMIZED UK-1237-0392-10A136.rar" into my mini pro.
Now when I try to rebrand my mini pro SEUS states that there are no updates available and doesnt give the option to reinstall.
I have tried older versions of SEUS and also PC suite for a hard reset.
My screen is stuck and I dont know what to do...
Does anyone have any recomendations - highly appreciated and will be rewarded.
Thanks,
H

Already tried the repair function in PCC? Donate the reward to XDA

I also tried holding the back button down while connecting to PCC

Take the battery out and try again with seus. And for future reference - X10 Mini .
Exhausted everything
Hi,
I have tried all possabilities.
Each time I try the PCC it complains that I dont have any connection (which I of course have).
Anything would really help
Thanks!
/H
do not run PCC
do it via SEUS (SE update service) find it at your computer and run update exe , then just do what is shown.
via this method yopu do not have to connect to PCC,
You will connect to pc with phone holding back button so there is no possibility to screen freeze
hi bro
im new here. i picked up the x10i frm dubai.
and unknowingly update to r26 version. im unable to update to android 2. the pc companion says me to put the fone in flash mode, i do the same thing in the picture, but instead the fone turns on... please help. thank u
Take the battery for 10 seconds, put it back in and run it again.
Hi bro, I faced exactly the same problem but now i have finally updated to Android 2.1, so maybe i can help.
1) Check if you have any antivirus installed. disable it or run your PC in safe mode with networking.
2) check whether update for your kit has been launched here-
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2010/11/09/these-kits-have-the-update/
Since your phone is from dubai, just like mine, maybe update is not out yet. Does PC companion show 'update available'?
3) Forget SEUS, update from here-

hi there, i am in dubai and i got rooted x10i running on 2.1, what i can suggest is that root your 1.6 x10i, then change into global genirec firmware, use the SEUS to update into 2.1, you'll be having it plus market app will be added to your phone.. its nice to have market app here in uae..
Hi,
I flashed my phone from a Rogers X10a running 1.6 to nordic when 2.1 came out to get the update earlier. Now that the dual-touch update has come out I`ve found that I can`t update the software from my handset or my pc and am wondering if I can revert to x10a. A lot of the links people have shared in regards to this problem are outdated so it`s not really clear what can be done.
Whenever I try updating through my phone I get a message saying: ``New software available. Not enough memory, restart your phone before downloading.`` No matter how many times I restart i still get this message. Any ideas would be much appreciated
Thanks,
Uses SEUS fron sony ericsson website by the option repairing the phone

thanks for the quick reply
Unfortunately whenever I try to use the repair feature of SEUS or PC companion, it tells me that my phone doesnt have any software available and aborts the repair process. Is there a way i can flash to the latest rogers firmware?
Surprisingly, Rogers has the latest firmware:
2.1.1.A.0.6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960598
Use the graphical flash tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
can someone help me?
i am currently using now the minicm7 2.0.7 rom, and i want to revert it back to stock rom 2.1 and i cant seem to find ways on how to. i tried using seus but when i press the back button it take me to the recovery instead of seus continuing the update to 2.1.
please help me please.
Connect your usb cable to your pc
Start pc companion or sony ericsson update service and select update/repair software
Switch off device
Connect device whilst holding back button when told to do so on pc screen
And the rest should do itself, this will reflash back to totally stock android 2.1

Hi,
I'm also trying to revert back to stock firmware but facing the problem, that SEUS and PC Companion are always telling me that I already have the latest version of the software or there is no software for my phone.
How can I get back to stock firmware?

same too please help
That is why it is always recomended to take a backup of stock rom before installing any custom roms...
Hi think you have an option in SEUS to re-install even if you have the latest version.
When you have this message, you can select "re-install" or something like that.
A popup will warn you that you will lose all of your data.
Hope that help

says to me that the x10 mini has the latest software and does not need upgrading.
I've tried numerous times, but does not.

As the post says just above there is am option to repair/reinstall or something like that it just downloads the firmware, wipes your phone and your phone is back to stock.
OR
If you have Mini Pro, look my signature how to flash stock.
For all solution : use WotanServer because that is the website that can flash amy stock firmware with your country setting FOR FREE...
