[ HELP ] [ SOLVED ] Bricked my mini E10i . Is there still options to reflash? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hello guys.
I had just uptated my mini from 1.2 to 2.0 with Eclair. After the update i've had the (really) bad idea to replace the entire original 1.6 file build.prop instaed of changing just the number version.
My phone now just reboot itself.
I've leaved it alone and let the battery flat. After that ive tried to reflash it with sesu and pc-companion.
Tried every option but seems i can't reflash the same version of the firmware or downgrade it, build.prop in /system is from 1.2 version. (SEUS told me that my software is already out of date).
PC Companion, instead, show me a popup of connection problems but there isn't.
Any idea?

get the entire 2.1 build.prop back to it's place

flash with seus. it will come back

Lol, how can i put the file back in its position? Phone doesn't start.
And... Already told that SEUS and pc-companion was unable to flash the phone?
Anyway, i've flashed 1.6 with flashtool found here on XDA.
Thank you so much.

I can not turn the phone off, does restart, how to get to safe mode? please help.

Keep hold of the Power and Middle (Home) buttons, once you see the Sony Ericsson logo let go of them and keep hold of the Menu button and it should boot up to Safe Mode.

thanks , flashed

I have this problem and nothing!!! =(

Just leave the phone on all night, then, as it was downloaded ... then went back to flashing with Eclair and works again, thanks for the help!

For future reference: You dont need to have your phone "on" to use the flash tool, it just has to be in the update mode. (Hold back button while plugging into the usb). This is for if you ever brick it again

[Q] Rebooting at start

Hello dear xda users.
Today since 1-2 hours ago something terrible happened. My X10i .. keeps rebooting at the "Sony Ericsson" startup.
History:
I updated to 2.2 Beta 4, but I forgot to update the kernel so the phone kept rebooting, but not at startup, only after a couple of minutes.
I flashed to the required kernel, but decided to go back to Beta 3 instead, and the same problem occured here too, also that the wifi and mobile network were out of function.
And I remembered that I had made an backup of my original version with xRecovery, so I restored the phone and tried to switch back to Beta 3 and this is when the **** happened..
Am I screwed?
Stuffs Ive tried:
* Flash the version back (cannot enter flash mode anymore) = fail
* Tried to make a factory reset through PC Companion (cannot enter flash mode) = fail
I need help guys, this phone is only 2 weeks old. I just want to cry, dunno what to do
Bump! No one?
Also tried to pull out battery while the phone connected with usb, pressing back key and inserting key.
I have a thought, maybe its that my phone isnt being recognized by the computer due to problem with USB drivers. Does any1 know how I can manually install it?

If you need help with flashtool go HERE

Using Flashtool you were able (after flash) to root, install latest xRecovery, etc.
Hope it helps

OK,
Have you got SEUS?
If not google it and download it.
Once you have done that send me a PM
Been through this pickle too, dont worry, go in dev forum search your generic rom, and flashtool and follow the instructions to flash the generic rom, ps, in xrecovery dont forget to make a backup of ur generic rom, saves a lot of time when things like this happen

Do you have recovery installed?
If so, when you see the sony ericsson screen keep hitting the back key (The one on the right on the front)
That will put you into recovery
If not download flashtool from here
and install it on your pc..
attach phone and you will see it connect.
Click root
then ask root permissions
then xrecovery
PS, in SEUS are you holding down the back button...
Turn the phone off (Pull the battery out if you have to and put it back in)
then hold down back button when SEUS says so

I have finished successfully using SEUS but it still reboot and never enter main menu, in the past I have installed xrecovery,but is it still there after I installed with SEUS?? what should I do...
If your phone doesnt work after flashing with SEUS then I think your phone is broken.
SEUS a clean install of the latest SE software so it should work.
Did you choose to do an update or a factory reset and update.
Try again in PC Companion and choose factory reset and update.
Go here to download PC Companion

restore your phone via SEUS from pc companion it will revert your kernel to stock and install the stock rom
Don't worry, I did the same thing the first time I tried to install Zombie Panic. Download the Sony Ercisson Update Service from here, insatll it on your PC and follow the instructions to install (even if it says you have the latest version). It'll take you back to Stock ROM and your phone will boot.
but.. PC Companion can find my phone but it wants to connect it in Android (and i cant go to android) so... :/

Prepare SEUS on repair mode, until message to connect phone.
Press and hold power button, then press home button (don't release power button) and wait phone off. press and hold back button then connect the usb cable.
thank you!!!!you saved my phone~! Now can install mCM7.... thank you!!!
I was tryin to install MiniCM7 and during my noobish attempt I pretty much deleted everything on my phone. Factory reset and such. And I attempted to fix by rebooting the phone but now all I get is the Sony Ericsson Logo and when I try to turn the damned thing off it turns back on. I tried SEUS but even after quickly hitting back and plugin the usb cable after Home+Back+Power no dice. Can anybody out there help this desperate noob soul :c
Cant you pull out the battery connector underneath the rubber bit next to the camera to turn it off??

That doesn't make sense. because that wouldn't have deleted the kernel, you can only do that from the pc, not from the phone itself. And as long as the kernel is on there it will turn on. You must have done something else. Or your battery is completely empty, but i don't really think that that's it either. Try to put it on charge (wall-charger) anyway and see if that does something.

I don't know which format option you chose in that menu, but there's nothing in there that actually kills your phone. I assume it's still turned off now.. if you press the back-button and connect the usb-cable, does the green light come on?
