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...

The new firmware provided be SE will not let you to get root access.......In a solution try to flash it to the custom ROMs.........The to install custom ROMs you need Bin4ry Flash Tool.....Download the Flash Tool from here and then use below steps-:
Pro: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455
Mini: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825664
In order to use the flasher just try these steps:
1)Download SEUS and Pc Companion and connect the phone with them at least once (just connect)[Forget this if you done it already]
2)Make sure you have the latest java installed on your pc.
3)Download the flasher from Bin4ry (Just make sure you've downloaded the mini and not the mini pro edition).
4)Download from the same thread a Generic 2.0.A.0.504 FW and put the folder with the .sin files inside the flashtool's directory.
5)Run the flashtool, press flash and then choose the name of the folder, where the .sin files are in.
6)While the phone is off, keep the back button pressed and connect on usb until the green light is on.
I just flashed my x10 mini using flash tool (upgrade to 2.1), i followed the instruction until it say finished and unplug the usb conection.
But after i pushed turn on button, the LCD only shows light (about 5 second) and then off, and countinue on and off (no SE text / logo).
I have tried some solution with SEUS and PC Companion, even try to reflash, but none of them sucsesfull.
Any solution, thanks...

I will try this, but FYI
I still can flash my phone, it detected in my PC while I press back button and plug the USB, and the flash successful and told to unplug the USB, but again when push the power I still got the some problem. I have tried this for 3-4 times.
Using SEUS, it still can detected my phone, and search for update, but told something like my phone have the last updated.
Is the SE text / logo appear while we charge it on power off? (coz while I charge it, the LCD only got bright-gray light)
I just brought this phone few days ago from my friend, haven't charge it while power off.
Pc companion and seus are not the same thing just start again with seus

Please someone help me cause i've ruined my phone.

Bricked?
Instead of creating a new thread, I'll just post this here.
I probably irreversibly bricked my phone last night. Used this script (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888250) to enable JIT, and that worked out fine. But When I tried to install App2SD, the terminal emulator displayed some “rm error” very briefly, before crashing, and all non-sony stock apps disappeared. Rebooting the phone, apps came back but root was broken, 3rd party apps run into errors, wifi cannot obtain IP addresses. After a user data wipe, cannot recognize SIM card
- Unfortunately, on a highly idiotic note, XRecovery was not working right before I attempted to install app2sd (I do have a backup).
- Sony Ericsson PC Companion cannot find software for the device, saying “no software available at this point”.
- SEUS says the phone already has the newest software version
- Flashtool says to check USB Debugging, Unknown application source, but they already are enabled.
- Flashtool (when trying to install busybox) and SuperOneClick 1.9.5 encounter the error: -exec ‘/system/bin/sh’ failed: Permission denied(13)-
Is there some way to install xrecovery through a computer? The SE backup and restore app is still there, but I don’t have a SE backup. Any other ideas, or am I totally screwed?
Thanks in advance.

Even if phone shows up error triangle you should be able to use standart flash mode.
About fastboot dont know, never used it.

No problem, it could be done, but not so simply. I did rooting and xrecovery installation without Flashtool many times since Flashtool werent possible torun on Linux
Root could be done with exploit zergRush; but try SuperOneClick first. It will take some time root it completely manual.
Same with xrecovery, but its much more simple, pasting three or four files to root FS.
Try superoneclick first, if it wont help, will provide more step by step information.
EDIT:
Simpliest solution - almost forgotten
Download the zip provided underthis post.
Extract the zip file.
Connect your phone to computer (remember, that USB debugging must be on!!!)
Run file runme.bat (command line window will appear).
Enjoy !

RELAX first.
You will have to flash the stock SE firmware is by using the X10 Flashtool i .e. get your phone to stock and then root it again.
Here's a video link to the procedure :

And a link to the stock SE firmwares:

do you have USB debugging and unknown sources turned on your phone? Because its really strange why adb cant connect.
What ROM and kernel you are currently running on?
@dello what does ur pc say when u type adb devices?

hi,
running the official rom and kernal that the SEUS installed running 2.3.3
and yes debugging mode and allow are both on but still says cannot connect to deamon, could it be the boot loader? i put ICS on a xperia play and did that fine, do i need to unlock the bootloader like i did with the play?
i did try to but the se website wont unlock it
and ADB in dos wont pick it up list empty

Hello guys,
I am on a trip to the UK. During the flight the phone was working fine. Turned it off during the landing and tried to turn it on when the plane landed. But it won't turn on. It's stuck on the Sony logo. The phone was rooted with locked bootloader. I managed to get into the CWM and backup and even made a fresh install of the ROM (zelly cream) I could use the aroma installer, the touchscreen wouldn't work though. PC companion recognises the phone, says there no update. I used flashtool several times. Everything installs correctly but still stuck on sony logo. Please help me. I am stuck with no phone on my trip.

It looks like a hardbrick, but if you're still under warranty then flash a stock firmware and send it to sony service center. Should be fine with locked bootloader

The phone's out of warranty.
I went to a shop that repairs phones, they sent it back in 3 days saying it can't be fixed. Now what? I have an expensive paperweight? It's not heavy enough for that either.
weird,I got stuck in sony logo more than 10 times.and repair it with flashtool did you follow the guide correctly?
Sent from my ST18i using xda premium
Only solution I found
I had almost a similar problem. I had installed the same rom to my xperia ray and tried to update it with different selections in aroma installer. The result was the phone stuck at the sony logo.
I tried PC companion and it recognised a sony phone but not a ray.
I tried seus, this detected correctly xperia ray, but it replied that there is no update for my phone.
I tried flashtool but it could not recognize my phone and any way I didn't have any thing to flash my ray. (I installed the drivers from the subdirectory)
So I tryied something I've used a year ago: Wotan server. I paid about $2 to get a license and after executing the steps of the tool, I finally had my phone back.
I know that I'm not an expert on the field, and maybe there are other free of charge ways to do the work, but this worked for my phone and this was the second time.
PS. After the procedure I updated my phone using SEUS and this time I kept the stock ICS files and converted them to ftf files
I think the internal memory chip is faulty or something. Or it wouldn't even boot in the first place?

Guys please help me
Guys please help me. I rooted, unlocked bootloaders and unbricked android phones many times before but I just don't know what to do now. I tried flashing with flashtool 10000 times, everything goes ok but the phone won't go past the sony logo. I tried removing the battery for days. I tried charging for days. I even tried unlocking the bootloader and installing custom kernels. No luck. SEUS said there's no update even though I flashed an old firmware and after unloacking the BL says the phone has modified firmware that cannot be modified , EMMA says no available services. The only thing I didn't try is the test points method but why would I?
Anyone has any idea what's going on? I don't have the money for another phone right now
Anyone??

The phone was rooted with a custom ROM (Zelly Cream 2.0). The rom was flashed weeks before that happened. I was on the plane playing games on the phone. Turned it off for landing. Tried turning it on after the plane landed and it was stuck on the sony logo. I could get into the CWM and used the Aroma installer using the keys as the touchscreen would not work.
