earlier today, i was downloading some stuffs from market thru wifi..somehow my mini couldn't install the apps on my phone, so i thought a reboot would solve the prob..and so i did..
and guess wat? my mini goes into more prob as it's stuck in reboot loop!!
i reflashed everything and recovered using recovery..but everytime i do that it'll go into reboot loop..weirdly enough fresh stock SE works fine
any idea why??
recovery was fine before... :/
Hey!
I have a very similar problem. My X10 Mini goes on a boot loop right after It shows the Sony Ericsson text.
I I'm trying to use the PC companion for repair but I get a error on It
solution
disasembly your mini, and unplug the battery.

I have rooted my x10min and installed Xrecovery before starting upgrade to Android 2.3.4. The phone goes into ClockworkMod after tapping the back cey where i have selected the update zip file and the google apps package. The message for both says that the install from sdcard is complete. Finally i try to reboot the installation but then the x10mini goes into reboot and reboot with the Sony Ericsson logo. As long as i now the X10mini should reboot and start up the new os android 2.3.4 ?? Can anybody help me to start the phone again, its not possible to get the phone to respond..
Remove battery and then put it back in, boot phone into CWM or xRecovery, do a backup and then a full wipe. Reboot afterwards.
Note: post in Q&A forum next time.
Help Reboot x10mini
Hello and thanks for answer, but its not possible to remove battery from x10 mini.
did you wipe data before installing update.zip?
X10 mini
Hello. Yes i mean so, but now i downloaded the Sony Ericcson -SEUS and this fixed the phone back to Android 2.1 again. I dont think i will use more time on this- but thanks for answers
Hi from a new member in trouble!
I foolishly thought I could update my wife's mini pro to 2.3 so that she could use BT SmartTalk as I tried SmartTalk on 2.1 and it doesn't work.
I rooted the phone ok and installed xrecovery, chargemon and busybox as described on many threads.
Then Powered off, rebooted and went into xrecovery to do a backup which was successful.
I then used the update function in xrecovery to install a ROM update who's filename is update-cm-7.1.0-X10MiniPro-signed.zip after having removed the "assert" statement from the update.script file and rebuilding the zip. The update process seemingly finished successfully.
Did a full factory reset and cleared all the cache's and battery log.
Told xrecovery to reboot and that's when it all went t*ts up!
The phone sticks on the white "sony ericsson" logo and won't boot into xrecovery while pressing the back button so I can't restore the original ROM.
It won't switch off and the only way to switch it off is to remove the battery.
I tried to recover using PC Companion but it says it has no software for my phone.
I also tried the hard-reset by powering on and holding all combinations of the other buttons to no avail.
Using S1tool "identify" function it says it is an unrecognised certificate.
This is the second time this has happened, the first time I sent it back to the seller claiming it was faulty and he fixed it but I can't do that again!
Can anyone please tell me how I can recover the phone, it must be possible as the seller managed it.
Many thanks.
Unfortunately, I've managed to brick (sort of) my Huawei Mediapad 7 Youth (s7-701u), and I need some help unbricking it.
Complete log of events before and leading up to the brick:
1)Flashed an alpha release of a CWM port than I'm working on, using terminal emulator. It doesn't work, unfortunately. and now I may never get it to work.
2)Had a few xposed modules running:
-Monster UI 4.0
-Permission master
-Guesture Navigation (or something like that)
All xposed modules were working fine together, rebooted quite a few times with them active. So I don't think they're the problem.
3)Removed everything located in the /cust folder. Again, I've rebooted enough times to conclude that this may not be the root of the problem.
4)Changed a few apps into system apps, either to replace those I deleted, or just to ensure they run at boot namely:
-Nova Launcher (to replace Huawei launcher)
-Google Keyboard (to replace Huawei Keyboard)
-Titanium Backup (to replace Backup)
-SD Booster (to change SD card read speeds at boot)
-Monster UI (I figured It may work better as a system app)
-SuperSU (Why not?)
5)I put in a custom boot animation.
I found a lollipop boot animation on OnHax, downloaded the bootanimation.zip, placed it in my /system/media and changed appropriate permissions.
When I rebooted, it worked, but hang halfway. The device booted as normal though. I took apart the bootanimation.zip, messed around with the desc.txt, recompressed it, and once again placed it in /system/media.
Upon rebooting, it didn't work, giving me a blank screen with only the backlight on. However, it vibrated, as it usually does, to indicate that the boot was completing, and it did indeed boot up.
A couple of tweaks to the desc.txt and two bootanimation.zips later, I rebooted, confident I'd at last solved the problem.
Huawei Logo shows up, as usual. Blank screen with only backlight (figured I must still have messed up the desc.txt), the vibration happens, as usual, Then, nothing.
Analysis of current situation
Here's a quick rundown of my tab's current situation:
1) Normal booting
It will show the Huawei logo it shows first, but instead of the boot animation, there's nothing but the backlight. The vibration that happens just before the boot completes still happens, at around the normal time, and after that, the backlight goes on/off if I press the power button.
2) SD Upgrade recovery method
If I copy the update folder (the one named dload) form the official firmware to the SD card, as per the instructions, nothing happens. Probably because I replaced the recovery. It shows the huawei logo, same as when a normal boot happens.
3) Bootloader mode
I can, in fact, boot the tablet into bootloader mode. This is the only reason I haven't given up on this tab. Applications such as RKAndroid and rkflash recognise it, so i think it's just a matter of getting the correct config files and/or proper .img files to use with such apps
4) ADB
Generally, no. ADB will not work. I believe USB Debugging was deactivated. Not too certain though
It did detect the tab once, and only once. Unfortunately, it didn't occur to me then to just delete the offending bootanimation using ADB shell. Never got it to work since. Maybe there is a special order of keys to press to get it to work, I dunno.
Things I have tried
1) Reflashing the stock recovery using RKAndroid
My logic behind this is, if I can get the original recovery back in, I can then get the SD upgrade to work, fixing everything.
2) Getting ADB to recognise it
If I can get ADB to recognise it, I can delete the bootanimation.zip, and maybe reflash the stock recovery using ADB shell
3) Using the SD Upgrade
If this works, then all my problems are solved, right?
Any and all help in this situation will be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to working with you guys to breath life back into this tablet.

I haven't given up yet. The way I see it, the only option I have is to figure this out, as it will prove invaluable for others. If I figure this out, then it will be impossible to completely brick this device, a critical factor in this time of development. Inevitably, someone else will brick their device, and if we can find out how to fix it, then it will be of great benefit to all, don't you think?
I also need some help... my huawei mediapad 7 youth (no sim) is on bootloop.... no recovery mode working ... but I can update firmware .. every time I updat3 it ..showing sd fails.. any help..
So i had root on my phone and i was messing around with it and I accidentally deleted the system folder and my phone kind of froze, i tried to reboot but then i didn't boot at all.
