OR maybe you should read all the instructions first. All these issues have been discussed many, many times. I think a little thank you for the people that get all this work done should be in order rather than complaining.
Anyway, glad you got it to work.
Hello joekhalil89,
Sorry to borrow your post but I think it will be better than opening a new thread.
Here is my problem, I have actually posted it already in the xrecovery thread because it is a problem that happened after using it but I need lot of help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9791618&postcount=504
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9792076&postcount=506
I will pay to whoever solves my issue.
Have you tried running SEUS instead?

Yes I did and it just says that the phone has the newest version and does not give me the option to reflash it.
Give THIS ago instead.

I had same problem. Solved by uninstalling both SEUS and PC Companion then download latest SEUS from SE site. Then I got reflash option.
Thank you XperiaX10iUser, I solved it already with your advise. I actually tried that before I post here the problem but I was in a hurry and didn't realize I was skipping a step. Thanks to the helpful people.
Just an addition for New Year's Day.
Since the last firmware, is not yet been rooted, i followed zdzihu's method and made a rooted firmware with xrecovery already installed.
I haven't tested this one (as i only own an X10 mini) but it should work.
It is based on 1238-3147 Generic from Phillipines.
In order to install this firmware, you need to install xrecovery first.
Also if you have already flashed with 2.0.2.A.0.24 through SEUS, please downgrade!
Requirements:
DOWNLOAD>>X10 mini flasher
DOWNLOAD>>mini pro.tar.bz2
You will also need an X10 mini pro rooted with xrecovery installed
Instructions:
1. Download and unpack mini pro.tar.bz2. It contains 2 files: update.zip and 2.0.2.A.0.24FlasherFiles folder
2. Copy update.zip to SD Card
3. Copy 2.0.2.A.0.24FlasherFiles folder inside the flasher's folder.
4. Boot into xRecovery and install update.zip
5. After finish flashing update.zip, pull the battery off the phone for 20 seconds and then put it back (in order to turn-off phone without rebooting it).
5. Open flasher and press "Flash" tab
6. Choose "2.0.2.A.0.24FlasherFiles" and flasher will show "Searching for Xperia..."
7. Keep the "back button pressed, while plug the phone on usb, until you see the green led on.
Make sure you understand the installation process before you try!
All credits go to:
zdzihu, for xrecovery and for all this actually, as i followed his method.
Bin4ry for the flasher, saved my @ss from many many bricks.
aZuZu for his SIN2IMG tool. Works great!
donetus for contributing by providing the blob_fs files.

Happy New Year, everyone!

You will have to reflash previous software with Bin4ry's flashtool
or could we do the normal reflash through SE's PC Companion?
JiT already installed??..

I haven't tried it and therefore i don't know. But you can try reflashing with SEUS (if something goes wrong) and if it doesn't reflash then try Bin4ry's tool.

No worries at all. System sin and dsp1.sin are meant to be missing.
Unplug and turn on!
Cheers mate, Works fine
I've noticed a bit of an improvement, will reply with a quadrant score aswell, and again with JIT when i enable it
Busybox 1.15.3 is the version installed according to Titanium Backup if anyone's interested.
Now i'm just restoring all my apps
Not entirely sure what the Application Installer app is though...?
Thanks again mate
Many thanks for that! Just a question before i try.. does this firmware contain czech localization, too?
Just noticed that xrecovery is not working .. ill guess i should do it manually

Hey all,
I've decided to root my SK17, and have managed (I beleive) to unlock my bootloader with the s1tool method, and flash my phone successfully. However, I am not at the last hurdle using flashtool to root my phone and I simply get this message:

Can anyone help?

Hey, thanks for the help. That was the forum I was already following.
I managed to solve the issue by starting again and checking each step. All was well, and the problem I was having was because of the Superoneclick program. I installed a earlier version and voila. Now root-tastic!
