Its been only 2 weeks since i bought a phone. Rooted it with universalandrood app. It all worked fine till yesterday. I downloaded some sms pop-up app from market and phone began to reboot every time i got incoming sms. Deleted that app, made factory defaults reset and now i cant use a phone cause it keeps rebooting all the time. Is there any way to flash via malez recovery or something?
Pc companion repair option
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
It does not recognize the phone because it is rebooting again again again again, I have the same issue I cannot find the resolution, since the flashtool, SEUS cannot load the device in flash mode
remove battery,
open pc companion
support zone-start
software update-start
choose your device
wait for software to be ready to install - it'll ask to connect phone
insert battery - hold back hardware button down - press power button (keep your finger on back hardware button till pccompanion tells it is not necessary anymore)

hi can someone please help i tried to flash my xperia x10 mini and failed badly and now when i turn on my phone the logo screen comes up and then just stays on... ive left it for about 20 minutes but still nothing its like its bricked on the logo screen i can restart it but it just does the same again. Ive also tried taking the battery out putting it back in then using the update service to lock it in flash mode while i use binarys flash kit but that doesnt work either. Also the update service just says no software update is available it thinks i already have the latest one please help i will be truely greatful x
Edit :
Ive already tried SEUS, PC Companion, Binary's Flash Kit.
Ive already tried connecting it to the adb but cant get adb to recognise a connected device and all the drivers are installed.
i guess you have, but i've to ask, have you tried the repair option in SEUS/PC Companion?
yeh i have seus says i already have the latest software version installed and pc companion actually wants me to load my phone up to connect it :/ any ideas? x
me too!!
i had the same problem with you...
how to get shutdown this phone?
phone must be shutdown when i want to flashing from SEUS..
and i don't know how to shutdown this phone because the battery....
edit : just connect your phone and use restart (hold power button & middle button)
after reboot, press back button and you will connect with SEUS...
but, my phone already get latest update...and i can't flashing from SEUS...
sob..
ive been shutting down the phone by taking the back off and unscrewing the inside cover. Then you will see the battery cable where you can simply unplug it from the motherboard and then reinsert it.
Edit: I also have connected to SEUS but it says i already have the latest software
Ive taken it to a local phone repairs shop ive given up... they said it'll be fresh and working by tomorrow morning it cost me £20 but its just one of those things en it :/
hey guys
all you need is to follow the instructions on SEUS,
when it tells you that you have the latest software press repair.
and when it say that you should turn off your phone and then reconnect it while pressing the back buttom do the following:
1- connenct the phone to the computer
2- press the 3 buttoms (power + mid buttom + back buttom) then as your phone restarts and vibrate remove your fingers from the power and mid buttoms but maintain pressing on the vack buttom
i hope this will help
After having to update the X10mini 2.1 Build 2.1.1.A.0.6 the phone display now sits just two hours notice Sony Ericsson, please if anyone has had a similar problem pomaga.Probvah Reset (by holding Home and Power buttons) but then the situation is sashtoto.Nyama how to reinstall it because the phone is always turned on.
mate use X10Flasher to reflash phone.
It has to be all very good syncronized but after reboot press back button to enter in download mode...
My phone is neither included nor excluded, how to flash.
@valeri77:
try to flash your phone with 1.6 firmware.
Try to do a classical update with SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service).
I hope you got a backup of all your personnal data .
try keeping your battery off and use SEUS or pccompanion to "repair" the phone.. maybe something were wrong while updating last time..
let us know!
If you have problem with x10 mini(Pro don't need this, since it have removable batt). that SEUS cannot detect your phone, even after restarting and replugging and restarting and replugging again.
Try this step:
1. connect your phone
2. Start SEUS. standard process etc.
3. if it ask you to disconnect the phone and reconnect, don't
4. instead, press powerbutton+middle+right button.
5. when your phone goes blank, release the power and middle button but keep pressing the right button until it was detected.
6. from there you could do a normal firmware update.
Hi all. I have multiple problems in my x10i.it has 2.1 It was rooted and worked fine..few days ago I tried to wipe the phone and did the master reset via xrecovery ..after the restart it just hanged at the boot logo and xrecovery is not working from then....I wanted to update with SEUS via USB... but the phone is not connecting as well...What should I do? PLZ HELP ME GUYZ........
Hi,
Seus doesn't recognize your x10 even if you hold back button while plugging usb (flash mode) ?
This week my x10 2.1 crashed (I suppose it was because of rooting with superoneclick without rebooting immediatly), and wasn't recognized by windows. It was in a loop turnig on/off and only putting off battery could turn it off really. Big Problem.
The only solution I found : putting off battery, pluggin usb cable, holding back button and putting on battery. Back button still hold (like flash mode) until seus recognize x10. Then it runs alone and install rom (after I rooted with flashtools and launched jit optimisation, witch increase truely x10 performances!).
Probably seus not recognize your phone because you have a rooted and custom firmware in your x10 and xrecovery is not working because you did a reset and then you delete some files from your phone, you can reinstall it with the x10flashtool or to make a complete restore firmware whit the same x10flashtool
If SEUS/PCC doesn`t recognize your phone, remove them from PC and reinstall them.
You have an USB driver problem

Did you wait for at least 30 seconds before putting battery inside phone (to make sure clearing all memories? And sure you hold back button before, during and after?
Otherwise, what does happen if you press and hold volume button before turning on the phone (and keep volume button hold)?

Well your usb is definitly working then as its glowin green?..
Are you sure you are doing it all right? It happened the same to me, and it ended I was pressing the wrong buttom (I knew which one was the correct one, but was blind cause I was scared that Ive broke it totally), a day later I noticed it and I was able to flash my phone.
However, read a guide and follow it step by step, reinstall everything and start from beginning maybe?
Or use the repair function with PC Companion
Hi! I had the same problem!
1. Search and download from this forum Flashtool 0.2.6
2. Install it.
3. Download from this forum one generic ROM (for exemple X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897 )
4. Put the file in directory Flashtool/firmware
5. Launch X10flashtool.exe
6. DO NOT PUT THE USB CABLE IN THE PHONE
7.From option "flash select the desired ROM
8. Wait the program to begin(a picture will appear)
9. Pressing the back button, insert the usb cable.
10. Wait the flashing to begin and release the back button.
Follow instructions and WAIT around 5 minutes until flashing will complete
11. Send me two words if it helps you! Success!

I've did everything as u told.....no luck ! guess its the time to go to repair center...btw a guy from help center told me about software tampered,,!!out of luck
I rooted my xperia mini x10 with superoneclick. After that i installed titanium backup and terminal emulater. I installed (with aais) xrecovery and after that enabled JIT. I make a backup with xrecovery.
FIRST PROBLEM: After that i want to enable app2sd.................
A lot of programms dissapear, like Market, titanium backup, terminal emulator, rootexplorer and xrecovery.
So i cant restore with xrecovery
I can't install from sd card because my market is gone so i can't download a root explorer.
I can't install from for example gmail because i cant open the market to install a app for opening attachments.
SOLUTION 1: After that I saw I still had the web browser. So i downloaded an root explorer with the webbrowser. And with the root explorer i installed titanium backup and terminal emulator again. An after that with the terminal emulator i installed xrecovery again. So i've restored again.
PROBLEM 2: After that i installed all my apps again (NOT APP2SD and also not enable JIT). Everything works. But after booting, there was an error in de homescreen an it keep looping.
So again i couldn't open my apps anymore. Again xrecovery didn't work anymore.
SOLUTION 2: I also installed advanced task killer. So i have this app icon in the upper left side of my screen. With this app i could open the market and with the market i could open terminal emulator en reinstall xrecovery.
So again I installed all my apps. After that the phone works very well.
PROBLEM 3: During the night the phone is always charging. Since i root my phone it isn't possible anymore to power off the phone and charge it.
This morning i started my phone an again it can't open the homescreen and it keeps looping.
I shut down my phone, boot it with xrecovery and try to restore with an new image i made the day before after i installed all my apps again.
Normally that proces takes a couple of minutes. This time it says to be completed after a very short time. I boot again and after that the phone doesn't come further than the white SE logo.
Can power off but after a few secs it starts up again. And can't open xrec anymore.
Also the battery wouldn’t charge further than 10%. From that it stops charging
NO SOLUTION 3:
• I've tried "install xrecovery for mini through adb, but when i typed adb shell it says: no device found.
• When I running SEUS i have the newest software and can't reinstall the latest firmware (normally i can in case of a problem)
• With pc companion you have to slice you start up screen down en connect with pc companion. THis is nog possible because the phone doesn´t get further than de white se logo. See there is also an reparation option and when i use that it says it can´t install all parts of the installation and stops installing
* flashtool also don't work
14/023/2011 21:23:45 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
14/023/2011 21:23:45 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
14/023/2011 21:23:45 - INFO - Then go to application settings
14/023/2011 21:23:45 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
Very difficult if i can't start up the phone anymore
I'm afraid the only way right now is to buy i new phone???????????
Hope someone still can help.
HELP HELP HELP HELP
Hmmm I guess they have changed the SEUS...
Anyways, AAIS script has few problems with app2sd, I've modded AAIS script to get it working... I myself got problem with app2sd that aais installed... I lost the superuser access, btw I guess u forgot to partition ur SDcard, apps2sd script requires that their should be a ext2 partition ALREADY PRESENT!!!
Well in ur case, u cant boot into recovery well sometimes I feel so but then I try it again, keep on hitting back button just after I press the power button, u can try that too.
Also look for a previous version of SEUS(as I think new version is having this latest firmware thinggyy), I'll post mine but I can do thats only after 17th!
Just to let u know, theres an option repair in PC companion use that! It wont ask u to turn on!
* i first did the sd card partitioning, so that can't be the problem.
* Repair option in pc companion also don't work
* I start my phone alreadey a hundreds time with pushing the back button but NO xrecovery
I'm going to try an older version of SEUS. I let you know if that works
I downloaded an older version of SEUS. But it first updates to the newest SEUS version before you can use it
Seus works when you just hold back while the phone is off and then plug in usb it has never failed me nor pc companion

U dnt just have to push the back button!
1)Long press the power button
2)Just after it vibraters, press-release-press-release.......the back button, i'm sure u'll get into recovery!
No the only way to get into xrecovery on a brick is when your in charge mode hold power it used to boot xrec it might be fixed now but you can't from the se logo on a brick
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
the only way is try to flash it again with Update Service (hold BACK and plug in)
or try to flash with x10 flash tool
if i were you
gud luk
btw, try to unplug the battery by taking off the back case, there's a cable power plug from the battery to the phone, use something (nail) to PULL it UP, wait a sec then push it back, i think the power still on, not really shutdown, hope this help (sorry for my bad english)

You sure we cant? Coz I have always booted into recovery like that and it worked on bricked mini pro too?
None of the above works. The battery loads only for a 10%. An stops loading after that. You can't shut down the phone it reboots after a couple of seconds. So i also think the battery can't realy shutdown. Sunday i have a torx screwdriver so i can try to unplug the battery. I let you know if it works.
Thanks so far
I finally had the right screwdriver. I tried a couple of things, each time after i first unmount the battery:
1. Flashtool didn't work. It ask to enable usb debugging and that is not possible
2. SEUS says there is no new software
3. PC companion, i go to the repair option and it says there is no software for your phone
4. Reboot by long press the power button and when the SE logo appears try push the back button, release, press, release. But this also didn't work
More options to try??????????
bring it to customer care center, the last thing you can do
I've already tried but they said they can't help if the phone is rooted
So this mean.....bye bye xperia mini x10???
I'm sure something can be done about this! I've to test it on my mini pro, wait! Lets see what happens!
I hope so!!!!! I still wait a while.
Toy toy toy!!!

I deleted my hw_config.sh to get my mini pro bricked! But I was able to update it with SEUS?
Strange......... when i want to update with SEUS it says there is no new software.
In the past there was an repair option but that isn't anymore.
Hello,
A friend of mine took his phone to a shop to have it unlocked.
Well not a success story.
He got back, the black light is on but the phone does not seem to do anything and does not respond any button, short, long press, we tried.
Sorry tech data : xperia mini, he thinks it did run 2.1
Please give us hints to:
1. recover his phone
2. unlock it
Many thanks
Can you get it into flash mode (where the led is solid green) at all and then use seus to do a restore to clean stock rom?
Sent from my X10 Mini Pro using XDA App
Download, sony ericsson update service (not pc companion), switch off phone completely, start seus, connect usb cable to computer, with phone off hold the back button while connecting usb to phone, even if phone says its got latest update click next and it should re-install android 2.1

It does not even respond to the power on button, seems as it's always powered on, but without anything appearing on the screen. As this type has built in battery we have to wait until the battery does discharge...
Also tried the official flasher, it does recognize the phone, but does not send it to recovery mode.
