Just got my new x10 mini pro, really pleased with it. Just downloaded the PC companion, to upgrade to 2.1 from 1.6, i follow all the instructions, when it comes to preparing the phone, i follow the instructions (holding the back button whilst plugging in the USB) and nothing happens. Tried it time after time and it just doesnt work, can anyone give me any advice please?
I had a similar issue. I ended up trying another usb port and our worked fine.
Hope this helps

Hey,
I am having a problem with my new Xperia X10 Mini Pro since I updated it to Android 2.1. Basically the problem is that Windows tells me that it cant be recognized, even if it was installed and worked properlly while being with 1.6. And the weirderst part is...sometimes it connects but rapidly disconnects without the option of mounting it. So:
1. It may be the cable. Weird because it have less than a week.
2. It may be the cellphone itself. Same as above.
3. It may be Android 2.1 messing up with the hardware. Possibly but I cant tell because its impossible to restore it as I cant connect it.
Please keep in mind that I havent rooted it or anything, it just stoped working.
Thanks.
Its a bug. Connect using charge phone first and then bring down the stausbar and chose mount.

Hey guys, in need of urgent help.
Last night i went and installed xrecovery onto my x10. This was to allow me getting free x10 2.2.1 which i did, and i got the hotfix's and they also where fine
But heres the problem...
Didnt know if Darkys Gingerbread 2.3.1 would work for me, but i thought it would b as simple as just reinstalling/unzip the freex10 2.2.1 via xrecovery if my phone wouldnt boot. I was wrong!!!
My phones current state is sitting at the main Sony Ericsson Logo on start up. I have tried to put the phone into safe mode. Connected to the PC and no light appears. The PC sees there is a phone connected but the SD card is not seen. i have a dongle which my SD card plugs into, but i just need help...
Question - What can i do to resolve this stupidity and get my phone working properly again?
Cheers,
Jonny
I havent installed what you have but i have that happen to me before where it just hangs on the se logo
was very frustrating
all i done was use se update service software to basically reinstall the se 2.1
version...
so if everything else failed, give that a shot. it worked for me

Sorry, i should have said that my PC sees the phone but i cant connect to the pc because i need to use the notification bar/connect USB...which i can't get to.. am i doing something wrong?
make sure you download Sony Ericson Update Service for your pc
to connect to that, you should switch your phone off, then hold in the back button while you plug the usb into ur phone...
the software shows you how to do this.
My phone didn't go past the se logo, and didnt want to connect either... but it connected to the update service which let me reinstall the original 2.1
This worked thanks a bunch!!
As per my understanding, we cannot brick the phone till the boot loader is cracked. You mess anything with the phone when flashing or when using xRecovery incorrectly, all you need to do is connect the phone in flash mode to your PC and update using Sony Ericsson Update Service or PC Companion and you will get the stock SE Rom back, and you will be ready to mess it up again
Hi
Just got an Xperia X10 on contract. I do have the 1.6 android version software. I have tried to update to 2.1 using Ericsson companion but having problems. I follow the stages, it gets past 'prepare phone', then it tells me 4 steps to do like connect the usb whilst pressing the back button, then 'mount the sd card' . Then its start update but thats it, nothing. Ive tried for hours and cant do it.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks

Go here. Make sure you run SEUS or PC companion at least once before you use the flash tool. They should not be running when you are flashing. Also, when you connect your phone in flash mode it should be switched off. Sounds like you were trying to do it while the phone is switched on.
After trying the azzuzu root method for fw2.3.3, I have royaly efed my phone up.
My phone is not recognized by the computer. After being on 2.3.3 it reverted me back to 2.1. Everytime I plug it up it tries to install drivers but then it says unrecognized device.

@OP
in short u are f****d.!
try rooting it with super one click or zroot(somethinng like that).
Yo.. let me explain something.
When i rooted and downgraded the kernel it used the old ADB drivers.
When i upgraded it required the new ADB drivers.
Maybe that is your issue.
flash the generic SE firmware with flashTool. It should work...
turn off phone - take out battery - press back key - insert usb - insert battery.
That should do the trick. Then Flashtool to stock
I probably have used this method 50 times the past 2 days trying to upgrade to GB. Always flashes ok but phone wont boot. Finally gave up and stayed with 2.1 and upgraded to MIUI. So it aint dead yet, just injured LOL
2 different computers won't recognize the phone, I can't flash with flashtool! It goes into flag mode but flashtooldoesnt recognize the phone. Somebody know how to manually install drivers?

And as i was testing to see what the exact sequence was for the ( unplug,turn off,hold back,plug in) i found it worked each time if i did it like this
Unplug
Remove battery after shutdown
Plug in
Hold back button
Slide battery in
Succes!!
Worked evry time here
