(RESOLVED)hey guys, i've been looking everywhere for about 3 days now and really don't know how to resolve my phone's problem. I bought the rogers e10a version of the x10 mini and really wanted to update my phone to the latest 2.1 version. As most of us know, you have to debrand your phone first as SEUS as well as sony companion will tell you that 1.6 is the lastest version. Anyways i ended up using the "build.prop.claro" file from skzBR from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820009&page=4) while debranding and re-used SEUS to upgrade the phone to 2.1. Now when i used this build, i got the a claro logo when i booted up the phone and i didn't ike that, so i though i could just change the the build.prop in 2.1 to the other "build.prop.vivo"... well when i did that i felt really stupid after since i then remembered it was made for the 1.6 os. So now my phone is messed up! all i get is the Sony Ericsson start screen looping over and over again.
The phone does go into recovery mode, but does not have root permission through ADB so i can't push the old build.prop.claro file back into the phones system folder.. The SEUS and pc companion programs do not work to restore the phone and give me tell me my phone has no new software to update with. Even when i try pressing the repair option through pc companion get that same message. I've tried numerous flashtools with different rom with .sin files and have has zero success. So i'm wondering if i do have a chance at this if someone has the .sin files from both rom descirbe in the link and i try reflashnig it with the latest flashtool or if omnius is my only choice here.. any help really appreciated guys.
Thanks.

RE: have you tried this
yes i have, the flashtool establishes a connection with the phone when i put it in recovery mode. When it says its flashing my phone, all ,sin files or a 2.1 generic rom seam to flash fine and whn done, it tells me " finished, now reboot phone", the phone is still stuck and looping. So i don't know if its because i'm not flashing the .sin files of the build.prop.vivo rom which i can't seam to find anywhere or what....
Hi, im a bit busy today. So just give you a link that you can try http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/04/14/debrand-your-xperia-x10-tutorial/
Hope it will help you.
i fixed it
I flashed the phone with 1.6 e10i firmware and the java flashtool and it worked. I then changed the build.prop file to a e10a file and reflashed. SEUS was able to reflasht the phone's firmware to 1.6 e10a and all is good now... thanks guys!

Hello everybody!
At first, sorry for my bad english but I've got a really big problem!
After updating the latest stock rom over PC Companion, I wanted to get Root with X10root.apk...so far...after rooting the device I've got the "great" idea to download Market Enabler cause I couldn't see Root Explorer FREE inside the market...
after reboot the disaster...
many apps FC at startup :-(
wrong display resolution :-(
no chance to accept root permission, popup is not shown in cause of the wrong resolution...difficult to explain...
Can't reflash with PCC or SEUS..."no Software avialible for your device!"
Can't install xRecovery:
APK - Can't accept root...the resolution problem
ADB - system read only
What the hell?!?!?!
Any suggestions? My Girlfriend will kill me if she notice whats up with her X10
P.S. Superuser don't disappear after factory reset...is this normal??
In this case I've got no warranty...right???
Oh damn...my girl REALLY killing me...

X10 Flash tool??
I tried it serveral times with the "SE Flash Driver" installed...it alway says:
"Waiting for device" or "Waiting for Xperia"...something like that...
I clicked on the FLASH button...then connected the device with pressed hold button for recovery...Result: Waiting for Xperia...
Click in the flasher to flash until you see waiting for device (or something like that)
Turn the phone off hold the back button then quickly plug the usb cable in the mini and hold
Does it not flash close the flasher on your pc and try over again!

Or try it in another windows version.
Worked for me.
flash tool not working on xp but working on windows 7.
I've tried EVERYTHING!!!!!
deinstalled all drivers...reinstalled...etc...
Update with PCC, SEUS, X10 Flash Tool (my last hope)
Then I've tried it on my mates laptop with windows 7...no luck again...PCC,SEUS,Flash Tool...I was really desperate at this point!!!
Now I tried again, another mate, another computer...
First try with PCC...no problem...reflash...READY!!!
But...........WTF?????
Why PCC says "No update for your device" on 2 different PCs and finally works on the third one?? This could not be a driver problem!!
Now I'm very glad not need to hide from my girlfriend!
Glad to see that you revived your GFs phone
Just to inform you, x10 series is hard to brick.. I brick it countless of times and i just reflash it with Binary Flash tool.
Sometimes your windows and drivers can be a problem. For instance, when i bought my Mini it was on stocked android 1.6, when i tryed to update him i got message that there is no update for my phone. I googled a bit and visit SE site, and there it is, my FW was listed as a part of 2.1 update, but again, i was unable to update. I reinstalled my Win (from XP to Win7) and first thing that i do is to try to update my Mini.. And there it is! Update available!!
Anyway.. Mini cant be bricked, after everything that i did to him, so many reflashes and it works like a charm.
i, hi also bricked my GD phone after trying to debrand it.
i replace the build.prop file with this one E10i_build.prop_UK_Generic and then i rebooted.
since this time, the only thing that appears on my screen is sony ericsson, then it reboots.....
what can i do to make it work again?
thanks for your help.
finally i managed to make it work again.
i m relieved
I don't know about PC Companion, I prefer the SE Update Service (SEUS).
Even tought there are no newer Firmware, it's always possible to reinstall/repair with the same firmware as the phone already have.
Used SEUS for that several times trying to revive a M1i Aspen. Luckily the X10 Mini is a little harder to brick
i guess you're german? then try this

müsste auf jedenfall funktionieren =)
wenn du hilfe brauchst, sag bescheid
ftf verses rar?
My x10 mini pro is also bricked. It just looping when rebooting. I trying to use flashtool to fix it, but I am stuck.
Downloaded the U20i 2.1 firmware.But, this is a rar file. The flashtool wants a ftf file. How do I manage this problem?

a rar file is just a compressed file (like a .zip)
if your on windows, download 7zip or WinRar and try extracting the rar file.. (you might find the files that you need are in there) flashtool requires a bunch of .sin files should be 8 or 9 of them... loader.sin, system.sin etc
stick these in the firmware folder of flashtool and you should be good to go.
(I was the first person to test "Flashtool" for Bin4ry on the X10mini last year and I have never had a problem with it)

interesting story Lol .. thank god u got her phone fixed .. =P ..
Hi,
I flashed my phone from a Rogers X10a running 1.6 to nordic when 2.1 came out to get the update earlier. Now that the dual-touch update has come out I`ve found that I can`t update the software from my handset or my pc and am wondering if I can revert to x10a. A lot of the links people have shared in regards to this problem are outdated so it`s not really clear what can be done.
Whenever I try updating through my phone I get a message saying: ``New software available. Not enough memory, restart your phone before downloading.`` No matter how many times I restart i still get this message. Any ideas would be much appreciated
Thanks,

Unfortunately whenever I try to use the repair feature of SEUS or PC companion, it tells me that my phone doesnt have any software available and aborts the repair process. Is there a way i can flash to the latest rogers firmware?
Surprisingly, Rogers has the latest firmware:

Hi thanks for your help , im try this option but not working when in de PC companion tellme enter in flashmode (pres back and connect USB) recoignice the cel but sendme not is available software in this moment
You have to try with SE Update Service.
When it tells you that you are up to date, you press INSTALL and it asks you to wether install or not? You say yes...
Then it renews your phone to factory settings.
When you use SEUS, it asks you if you want to update software OR repair phone. Select repair phone, and that will fix everything.
You should back up your rom in the recovery. If you want to use custom roms, you must do this.
Yes you can upgrade straight to 2.3 custom roms from the position you're in. Download the correct ROM, and kernel, flash the kernel, put the new rom.zip on your SD card and flash it.
There are many, many, many threads like this so if none of this works you can still find how to fix your phone.
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?

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.

Hi everyone!
So I was trying to update my X10 from a CM7 mod to M&M`S MiUI 2.3.9, but when I tried to flash the kernel necessary for it, Flashtool wouldn't install it due to an error (12/055/2012 14:55:06 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed").
I didn't think anything of it, and decided to try installing the ROM anyways because I'm retarded. Now my phone won't get past the Sony Ericsson logo when booted, I can't flash anything with Flashtool because it just comes up with that error again, and PC Companion and Update Service won't repair it.
ANY and ALL help will be appreciated. Thank you!
Do u not meed to unlock bootloader for that Rom?

Yeah, I didn't really read through everything. xD
Again, I'm retarded.
But is there any way of fixing this?
I would try this first.....in case youve not been using properly before.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23521989&postcount=14
I did that, and it tells me that there is no software available for my phone yet.
So you are doing everything exactly as it says in the guide,and your saying that when you connect the phone in step 8,it hits you with no new software available.
Im asking because
1.Its always worked for me(about 10 times without any problem)
2.People connect their phone too early when using pc companion
If it doesnt help,you can try an earlier version of flashtool
I did it step by step and I'm using version 0.6.7.0 right now because I can't find any links to the newest version. :/
