[Q] Updating Rooted X10 Mini Pro - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi guys,
I rooted my Mini Pro shortly after the root was released. As I'm sure you're aware, SE have release an updated firmware. I've tried to update to it but I can't due to my phone being rooted.
I've tried to unroot my phone in many different ways. Using the SEPCC Repair method I get an error about the download and to try again later, I've tried this many times but none have been successful. I've also tried using the SEUS method, but it tells me that my phone is up-to-date.
I heard that I could flash a fresh ROM onto the device via Omnius, resulting in a fresh, unrooted ROM, but the download does not work for me at the minute, and I think I've missed the 'all features are free' period anyway, so that's that method out the window.
Does anyone have any other ideas as to how I could unroot my phone? I think I've tried almost everything but your input would still be much appreciated.
Thanks.

There is always DaVinci, its 10 Euro but it works. I had to do it after getting mine stuck on the "Sony Ericsson" boot screen after messing about with framework.apk.

Worked perfectly mate, cheers

on davinci i can't find mini pro on the list????

There's only Mini on the list, I was a bit wary about choosing it as I was afraid the physical keyboard would stop working or something, but everything worked out fine for my Mini Pro.

You can use 'repair' in SUSE... and thats for free

As I already said, the SEUS method didn't work. But it's all sorted now.

every phone is repaired by PC comparsion , if fail , try diferent PC ...

It looks like you tried UPDATE with SEUS, and of course, no new update = fail. But if you look little bit closer you should get an 'repair' option also...

Cant say anything with the amount of information you provided..
May be try SuperOneClick root this time..
I downloaded the Androot from web and installed. Then I opened and it finished rooting. SO first time i rebooted phone it did loop 3 to 4 times but came on and next day I rebooted again to find out if it goes in to loop mode and it just kept looing for like 12 to 14 times and never turned on fully so i had to flash the phone using SE Companion repair utility.
It is Mini Pro AND has 1.2.A.1.183 with 2.6.29 Kernel and 1.6 firmware

If you are using 1.6, try using exploid method.. May be something went wrong during the root process. Still cant say anything conclusive.
First of all, I suggest you to update your phone to Version 2.1-update1.
Afterwards use SuperOneClick to gain Root Access.

[Q] x10i won't start

first of all let me say that i've don a lot of searching before posting this, and i know it seems pretty long but please try to help me.
i got an x10i from a friend few days a go. the reason i got it (for free) was because it's not working and he didnt want to mess with it anymore.
when i first got it, if i tried to turn it on, the led would flash red. once in a while it got turned on, the sony ericsson text appeared for a few seconds and went off again. now if i try to turn it on the led would flash green for a sec, there is a vibrate but thats it. screen wont turn on at all.
i'f i try to connect it in the SE PC suite it detects it, but fails installing it. i've managed to enter the repair tool, but it failed a few times. however, the last time i tried to repair it said that it was repaired succesfully. still, not turning on.
tried to flash a firmware via flashtool, seems like its going well all the way but in the end it says "error flashing. aborted".
i'm pretty much out of ideas now, so ill really be grateful if anyone could help me.
a little update:
i've manged to flash a firmware via flashtool and it finished without any error, but still it won't turn. only the quick green flash and vibration.
any help will be appreciated.
ok, big update:
the phone is starting, i get past the boot animation and see the main screen (!) but after a sec or 2 the screen freezes and the phone shut down and won't start again unless i replace the battery?
please? anyone? im feeling so close yet so far away. could be a battery issue? when the screen starts i see that the battery is almost empty (connecting it to the charger won't help)
Yesterday i had the same problem ... i had to flash the hole firmware with X10Flash-2.1 and then updating with seus.. after this it restarts and it boot correctly
Not sure if u tried this, try having the phone plugged into the charger and let it charge for a while and then try booting it up again. Firmware wise, I would try a stable 2.1 or the freex10 beta 2.2 for a start to ensure that the software installed are stable ones. Hope this help.
try to fix it with seus...
nothing else willing to work as it seems there is something wrong a little deeper than flashable files...
This is I believe 1000th thread about this.
1. run seus
2. run PCC
3. run flashtool
Done.
SEUS seems to be the most effective way of repairing this.. Although you might also want to try pulling the battery before it freezes, it can help to recalibrate the battery.

thanks to everyone who replied.
i've downloaded and installed on the phone the version by SEUS, but i still cant turn on the phone.
in PC companion nothing is happening. when i go to the support section to get the new version, it just connecting with the phone and then tells to disconnect the phone and turn it on (which of course don't happen).
i've tried to run a repair in PC suite but it fails.
i've also tried to flash a firmware in flashtool, but it also fails.
any ideas?

If i am not wrong windows 32/64 bit does not affect how ur phone is gonna be installed since the installer that is downloaded is for the phone only and the installation process will only be done by the phone itself.
Not sure if u tried a different software such as xrecovery to install the OS into ur x10, since xrecovery with freex10beta4 works for almost all of the users in here, it should work for u if ur x10 has no hardware faults. If all still fails, it might be most probably your x10 hardware has failed or something along those lines.
It work for me, then with the 1.6 you can after that update with seus to 2.1update 1. If your phone doesn't work anymore you have nothing to lose.

the original 1.6 is on this forum also... please make some commercials somewhere else... k thanks...
4 out of the 9 posts u made had something to do with this website... could you stop please?
@the win7 part... you could get problems if you dont got the right drivers but it would tell you or error out...
the only thing what you could do in my opinion that is is short the pins while battery has been removed
this should effect total emptied phone and hopefully also the memory.... maybe than you are capable to flash/start it...
now if this wont work.. im sorry but im out of ideas and u shud use it to make a new barn or house ;/ im sorry
Didn't know the 1.6 was on the forum, thanks for the cue. I won't talk about that anymore.

X10 Mini Pro bricked

Hello ! I have a Xperia X10 Mini Pro and I have flashed my telephone with a custom rom 2.3. It has freeze in SMS application and I have reboot the smartphone, since it does not restart. I have flash the telephone with Flashtool and SEUS with rom 2.1 but does not work. Help me please,
PS : Sorry for my bad English, I'm French.
EDIT : It reboot in a loop.
I would try removing the battery for a minute or two, remove and format the sd card (backup any data you want to save) get SEUS up and running on the PC and then connect the phone. Select the option to repair and wait.

I have already try this method but this not work
EDIT : It would not be a hardware problem?
I have downloaded the official firmware and flashed it myself using x10FlashTool.
later then I updated the firmware with SEUS.
Hopefully it'll work the same for you.
Best regards,
Ron

wOrHeR SvK had the problem and yesterday he got his phone working
I had this problem a loooong time ago too.
Lucky for me my wife got the same mini pro and had not yet updatet the original stock ROM in any way.
I connected her mini pro to SEUS. Got the update-notification, followed to the part where you remove the USB-cable, turn off and then reattach the USB-cable while holding the back-key (only here i attached my bricked mini pro).
Guess the rest...
Bad news for your phone.
I think your phone is fully bricked and I think there's no chance to recover it.

[Q] X10 Mini Pro screen is weird after 2.1 update

Hi
I just tried to update the firmware on a friends X10 Mini Pro, but something weird is happening to the screen.
Its a ordinary X10 Mini Pro with 1.6 software on the TDC network in Denmark. I downloaded PC Companion from the SE website. Connected the phone using USB and followed the guide. Everything succeeded according to the updater.
When I pulled the USB and booted the phone again the SE logo was displayed as it should. After waiting about a minute the phone loaded android, but the screen looked like a digital snow storm - see the attached picture.
Everything still works, but it is nearly impossible to see whats going on in the phone. When I restart the phone the SE logo still looks perfect, so I guessing the screen connector cable is fine and it is a software problem.
I tried installing the software again, but the same thing happens.
Do you guys have a suggestion on how to fix the problem?
Happend to me long time ago reflash

Delete the downloaded firmware from SEUS or Companion, if you poke around with explorer you'll find them, they will be about 120mb in size. Its probably a corrupt flash file so it should redownload when you try again.
I've had a corrupt flash file before, it appeared to install but ended up being a cross between new and old. Sometimes if your broadband connection glitches it can corrupt, only if its a couple of bytes.

Hi, I've got the same problem. I've tried repairing and reinstalling the update, reinstalling both the SEUS and the Companion and deleting their remaining Program Files folders (or is the update file hidden anywhere else?), still the same result. Any ideas please?

Hi,
Download flash tool and firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455. Flash it by following the steps given. It gives you the unrooted, unchanged version of SE ROM.
Goodluck. Post if you have any trouble.
There is nothing to fear!!! Its really very very hard to brick your phone
If you want warranty, then follow the steps given here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17671699.

How do i root x10 mini pro 2.1 update with no pc

dont forget to click the thanks button
Z4root doesn't work on my x10 Mini Pro.
I've just reflashed it using SEUS, which gave me 2.1.1.A.0.6. Downloaded and installed z4root, ran it, the app did its thing, gave no error messages and...my phone still isn't rooted.
I've just done a quick bit of Googling and it looks like z4root isn't compatible with this build. As far as I can tell, there isn't anyway to root your phone, if this is the build you're on, without using a PC. Maybe it's worth trying to borrow a friend's for a few minutes? Or sneaking down to an internet cafe and hoping that they haven't disabled the USB ports..
