Hi varun. Welcome to the forums.
Best thing I'd say to do is reflash your phone. Also, Rooting will help speed up the phone and inturn, increase battery life. More things running on your phone, the more faster the battery drains...
To back up, I suggest titanium backup.. but again, to use that app, you need to be rooted.. titanium will backup every single thing!
brother i m in india!! here if phone will go bad its a nitemare to make it repair there4 .. i keep myself away from rooting and flashing!! plz help with some alternative!!! will be highly appriciated
You can try doing a repair through SEUS or PC companion... That is the only other thing I can think of.
Also rooting shouldn't screw up anything as long as you know what you are doing and are following directions.
Reflashing the the firmware shouldn't be much of a problem either
so acc. to you ..
1st i have to root my ph?? then perform backup
2nd repair throught pc companion
3rd root again?? ( can i unroot it back again??) and plz can i have simplest root steps??
4th if i root shud i enable jit optimizer??
5th will my warrenty voided??

Well if you want to do an in-depth backup, then yes you will have to root to use titanium backup.
You can always unroot your phone using SuperOneClick
Enabling Jit optimizer will delete all the useless SE apps and speed up your phone also.
As for warranty, the best thing to do before all this is call your provider and see what are some of the things that can void your warranty. In Canada, Rogers said it was fine if I rooted my phone, so my warranty wasn't voided when I sent it in for repair...
Before you do anything too dramatic.. try doing a factory data reset. Your reboot issue is probably caused by something you've installed (Task Killer possibly?)..
Seem's you're facing the same problem as i do

Backup with Titanium and try to reinstall from scratch with SEUS.
phone is not rooted, and i can't do it. so there's no way for me to get titanium backup.. or is it posible to put Titanium backup into non-rooted phone ?
if i dont care about what's inside in phone. should i do the backup with titanium ?
restarts
I had a similar problem before with my X10i. It would restart and couldn't turn it back on again (stuck at start up screen). I returned it for warranty, to keep it short i argued quite a lot with them and in the end got new x10. Aperently it was motherboard problem (they were trying to persuade me it is just a software problem so they just reinstalled the software, and gave it back to me, but it was still restarting).
I know this doesn't really help you with your problem, but i just wanted to post my experience with my x10

My x10 was good enough..i use wolfbreak custom rom but had no prob for many months...and i flash many times...
but recently i flash with gingerbread 2.3 for this i had to flash it baseband to .52 and after that i flash it and also baseband .54 with wolfbreaks...then the story comes it starting resart...i tried baseband .67..no improvement then i decided to go nack to original fw i tried with sesu and after that i have same restart prob..especially wh plyaying angry birds...
plz plz someone help
have you tried seus our flashtool to fix the problem?
Then you re root the phone over and install a fresh busybox and xrecovery re try the Rom again for the specific baseband. Try everything from scratch again.

bro i tried this many times no improvment it still crash and rebooting....can u tell me how to hardware reset?
help me
try to go back to stock 2.1 ROM 2.1.A.0.435 (bb .54) or 2.1.B.0.1 (bb .67) etc with a factory reset & cache wipe to remove the reboot problem if nothing else is working for you.
once the phone stabilizes, then you can try to upgrade to 2.2 ROM (like Wolfbreak Xperia TW V008) or 2.3 ROM etc.

bro i have changed the battery but it is still rebooting.........i think my x10 is gone to dog .......wht can i do now... help help
Help me ppl ! I screwed up big time !!
I originally got X10 mini with Android 2.1 and relatively old firmware ...anyway I rooted my phone, took the backup and then Flashed a CWM Recovery on it !
Factory WIPED all the data for the new ROM ......
Then I was about to Flash this CM 7.1 ROM when all of a sudden it displayed the message that it wont work wihout the Latest Firmware .... so from there on I had no choice but to Restore my Backup and go back to a working OS, so I could easily proceed with Firmware update ...... but that never happened !!!
The Backup couldnt be recovered ...it failed for i dont know what reason ....ever since then the device never worked beyond the WHITE Sony Ericsson LOGO !!! Im stucked ..... even the CWM Recovery isnt working now !!
and when phone is charged I have no way to turn it off !! I try that HOME+POWER button Combo but it turns back on !! I have no way of stopping this battery drainage either !!
SEUS wont work for me beyond the point where I have to hold the BACK KEY and then connect USB !!
I'm stucked !! I've been looking for a solution for almost 5 days now .... but had no luck !!! dont know what to do from here on!! KINDLY HELP !! plzz plzz plzzz !! I desperately need to fix this !! the device even aint mine !!!
Ok, lets start from the beggining.
What rom did you flash?
Why did you not check the firmware version if it matched the required?
To fix it, let the fone discharge. Then plug the charger in, let it charge a while, and flash via SEUS.
SEUS wont work for you because the phone is on a constant boot loop, so it is never off, which is required to be able to enter the back key function.
try it and let me know.
we've tried few things but nothing helped yet:

devilzeye, please don't open a new thread for the same issue. instead, you can keep the other thread alive.
PC Companion is OK, but not great for these situations. Download SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) because it has a much better method for fixing a phone in a messed up position.

Step 1: Relax and Breathe
As DamDSx said. Let it discharge fully. Then Charge it (I Pity mini users cause u cant just yank the battery out!)
In the meantime install Flashtool from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10738287&postcount=1 on your PC. (only install 0.2.8 or 0.2.91 Latest version may not recognise anything but daddy x10)
Follow Process from Here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10879507 ) and download a ROM for Mini(E20i) Follow the procedure and flash ur stock ROM.
Then Root the phone. Install Root explorer (google it) and go to \system directory. Edit a file called "Build.prop" and change the product code (something like 1238-90XX) wherever you find it in the file and replace it with the correct one for ur phone (Can be found on ur phone's Box)
Run PC companion and check for updates. you'll have the latest stock 2.1 fiirmware. You're good to go!
Next time mess around with only your own device mate
Last -1 step : When you pray to god next, thank him for creating XDA too

No they are separate software...entirely different programs...PC Companion to me looks a little useful, but SEUS is way better at fixing your phone when in trouble...
Lift the back cover off.
There is a small rubber plugg, lift that or pry it off.
Beneath that you have the batteryconnector.
Push down on the side wher you see the connecting cables and presto!
Phone off.
So this damned problem happened to me too!.. My phone hasn't been rooted or anything.. just today my Sim lost signals so I decided to turn on the flight mode on and off to reset the networking but the flight mode wont turn off..
I remember when this happened to me before once too I had taken the battery out once or twice also had restarted the phone and it started to work again but now it didn't respond to that treatment at all..
Got online read about the problem to know that I also have the 'Unknown IMEI/IMEI SV/Baseband' problem.. I have no idea what so ever what to do to fix it.. my phone has warranty till 30th November.. I don't know if the partner will honor the warranty but anyhow as of yet I can't go to the service center cause its already closed.. will tomorrow.. anyhow been reading around..
Saw these two threads..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261948
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362285
Both are explaining replacing the corrupt EFS files with back up ones.. but what scares me what if I don't have them? as explained in thread 2..
anyhow is there any way to fix the problem without rooting? I'm not sure if those methods are for none rooted devices..
I'm just a noob I have never even tried rooting or even updating! just because I was happy with what I had...
Backup data and factory reset if that does not fix its a service centre .
Or you mess with other methods that may brick your phone or void warranty in any case .
Tell service it has happened before .
jje
-sighs- Alright.. its service center for me.. the only problem is.. sending phones to service center here is like inviting more problems to whatever you are trying to get fixed >.>..
I still can't believe why my phone lost/corrupted such critical files when I never even tried messing with it..
D: I should messed with it! lol..
M.. well anyhow wish me luck.. the phone served me a good 6 months..

do u ave a bckup of efs
My phone wasn't rooted.. nor did I back up anything I don't think I can even see if I have those files or not without root privileges..
I just wanna hear the worst case scenario..
-edit-
unless there is way to check please let me know..
Alright.. Sad news for me, The retailer I bought the phone from told me the service center is an other city(whoa) and he then further pointed to that service center's outlet here that would take my phone and process it through..
The guy kept saying this error only happens when you are updating but I was never updating to begin with.. never have updated my phone!
Now I'm worried if going to this outlet and handing my phone over to them for I don't know how long! without any replacement phone is a good idea or not.. Nor do I think I'm willing go to take a trip to the other city.. but tomorrow I would definitely visit the outlet..
anyhow I'm deciding to try out the methods or restoring my Phone's Efs files here because honestly I don't think anyone here has a clue, I've been hovering on these forums and lurking around for almost an year and I was gonna root my phone anyway after the warranty period was over..
now my question is, Can I root without any issues having the 'Unknown Baseband/IMEI'? I have done a factory reset which has cured the flight mode problem but my phone isn't responding to Kies on PC cause it seems to be stuck on 'connecting'.. but I'm assuming that wont be a problem when rooting.. but again this is why I'm asking the advanced and experienced users..
I've read most of this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
and have understood most of it however I'd definitely need some mature advices over this matter..
I'm just rooting to try the App GSII_Repair by Helroz.. anyhow still mature Advice needed..
Please Help me out guys

THATS NOT TRUE THEIR ARE A NUMBER OF METHODS THAT MAY WORK IN SOME CASES .
But you cannot restore something you never backed up in the first place .

well so there is no point in doing all this because I haven't backed up my efs files(which I never could from the first place cause I never tweaked around)
many people out there have explained having not saved any efs files.. yet they have been able to get their back using different methods.. I mean I'm assuming it must have happened when I took the battery out? assuming a sudden loss of power supply corrupted the files?

Hi there,
this is my 1st post so i hope to be a lucky one...
I installed minicm7 on my phone and everything was ok untill the 1st reboot.
Phone asked me for " Sim unlock network code " or something like that
so i restored my backup and started to use utilities
to unlock bootloader and other staff...
I was so " busy " that i didnt notice that my battery is out of battery
and my phone powered off in the middle of the process.
I cant turn it on now, i cant charge it, pc dont recognise it ( pc companion to ) and power button + menu, or back button etc dont work...
I charged my battery in a phone store, hoping that i could do something
but my phone is dead... it dosent response and i m afraid tha i damaged it.
Any idea / advice ?
ps. Sorry for my english, i hope that i made myself clear enough
ps2. I read similar threads but they didnt helped me at all
I havent managed to turn it on yet...
Any help plz ?
ps. If i send it at sony-ericcson store
will they charge me or warranty applies ?
If your phone doesn't even go into flash-mode there's not much you can do yourself
And I think they will notice you messed with it (rooted, unlocking bootloader), so they will charge you, I suppose
Isnt there anything at all tha i could do
before i send it for service ?
If you can't get it into flashmode, no, nothing at all
ok, thanx
i ll send it when i ll get paid...
unfortunatelly i ll have to wait for 1 more week
Good luck
If the reboot not work, just try it again and again.
if it still doesnt work, just try to flash it again.
I believe, normally the Android will not dead.
Do u try instal SEUS and restore orginal android
