Hi, I bricked my SE Xperia X10 Mini pro(u20i). I have root, recovery(CWM) and CyanoComb v1.4. When I rebooted phone, unlocked screen it shows errors about apps that they closed and than the phone rebooted. I can't do nothing, go to recovery is impossible. I tried flashtool but it's need to enable uknown sources an debugging but i can't go to system. SEUS didn't respond when i connect the phone with back button... HELP ME! Thanks
Edit: Now i see that the Flasher shows error after plugin phone in flash mode. HELP!
I looked into my magic glass bowl and saw that you did something and my future cards said you will have gotten some help. But not specifically.
I hope this disburdens yourself a bit.
Now after you cooled down and recognized that the information(s) you gave us is too unspecific you can go on to give more informations.
But first:
Doi you have the correct ftf file(s) for flashtool? Flashtool does not need to have anything enabled on your phone. Also SEUS should work. If not you bricked your phones hardware.
My guess is you did not correctly follow the instructions to use SEUS. Follow them step by step. They are well explained. Possibly you haven't the correct driver on your PC... But this did not tell me my glass bowl, this stupid thing. May you tell us what operating system you use? Maybe reinstalling SEUS will help. Do you have the actual VFewrson of SEUS? I guess SEUS is the better choice then flashtool for you. (both do the same but flashtool can flash other roms)
Good luck.
I have W7 and XP, i tried SEUS and Flashtool on both. I downloaded UK 2.1 ROM and than I did .ftf file. After i enter flash mode in Flashtool it say: Error Flashin Aborted, Now unplug your device and power it on, turn on Uknown sources and Debugging.
In SEUS, when it ask to turn in flash mode, I do it but SEUS didn't recognize my device.

@wOrHeR SvK: i had the same behaviour with Flashtool, so i powered off the device, powered on in flash mode and reflashed with FlashTool, after that it was flashed fine (don't follow the ending message to activate unknown sources and other crap, you don't need it... focus only at flash stage, that's what you need).
By the way Snoopo is right, flashing with SEUS (open application and search for "repair your phone" or something like that) does the job in every circumstance but hardware failure.
Good luck!
nothing... I turned on in flash mode and than click flash in Flashtool. Same problem... SEUS can't recognize... I Don't know why but before it was OK
tommorow i will go to my friend and try it at his PC
redownload the ftf file... did you possibly load a mini (u10) file instead a x10 mini pro (u20)?
did you use the right version of Flashtool? The one from Androxyde/Bin4ry [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746]?
Use SEUS to reinstall your ROM
yeah, tried 0.2.8 and 0.2.9.1. SEUS still not working...
Correct Flashfiles are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455
And SEUS also should work. What are the error messages? Make sure your phone is really OFF, start SEUS choose "x10 mini pro" (NOT "mini pro" without "x10" - this is a coplete new model and not really released yet) and go through the process until it says you have to connect your phone and do it exaclty like it is explained: hold the back-button while you are connecting your phone hold it down as long as it is looking for your phone when it starts flashing you can release the button. there should be the green indicator LED showed while the restore is running.
The Flashtool ones you pasted look like the flashmode is started successfully but it is possibly a wrong flash file. So try the correct one(s) (rename the .rar file downloaded from page above into .ftf)
otherwise you really bricked your boot partition and can try if SE wants to rescue your phone or if it says that your warranty is void...
SEUS still nothing, tried everything... Flashtool: when i first turn phone on to flash mode and than click flash in flashtool, it say Start Flashing and than the Error but when it says the error the green led is off and the phone is going to start... any idea ?
also SEUS isn't showing any errors, just say that i have to connect phone in flash mode...
I can boot to system but in system it showing errors about apps thah must close.... That isn't bricked boot patriton i think.

I had the same problem with my ST15i.
i wanted to flash to 4.0.1.A.0.283 and for rooting i had to use DooM Kernel for Last firmware (4.0.A.2.368). your problem is the same.
After Flashing new Firmware, while phone is off, connect it to fastboot mode and run command to flash boot.img (that's all in your link).
when completed, turn on your phone and go to:
Menu > Settings > Sony Ericsson > Connectivity
you can change usb mode to MSC so that Pc and then SuperOneClick will recognize it. (phone doesn't show any icon but pc will recognize)
after rooting via superoneclick you should get back to new firmware Kernel. again via fastboot mode and run flash kernel.sin
when done turn on your phone and it's fixed
you can read this thread (for ST15i) and do the same steps for your Ray: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279774
Have you installed the drivers for fastboot/flashmode for the Ray? Pc companion only installs ADB drivers, but you need additional ones for fastboot to work. You can find them here on xda or sony bootloader unlock site . Also make sure that usb debug is enabled for rooting with superoneclick (version 1.7 works).
Thanks it works now

I've flashed a few different roms (trying to get around this), and i can't get flashtool (latest version, just downloaded yesterday) to recognize that my phone is in debugging mode. it flashes fine, no issues, then i disconnect, restart the phone, turn on USB debugging and allow non-market apps.
then i reconnect, and flashtool always says debugging is off, when the phone says debugging is on. i turn off the phone, and reconnect while it's booting, and i get the same result. i can flash all i want, but i can't get flashtool to root the phone, or install xrecovery.
i've searched, and can't find a solution. any ideas?
- Trying Open Flashtool with the phone connected.
- Uninstall flashtool and install an old version of the program
- if does not work, change the cable (I've had a similar problem, I bought a new cable...)
Same issue found my solution
Hey I had the exact same issue but I found a solution.
My device is SE x10i 2.3.3 Generic
What I did was accidental.
I tried the old method of routing gingerbread which was too downgrade using "X10_aZuZu_Kernel_Downgrade_Generic.ftf"
but wat I also did was extract the load & kernal from the original ftf that I used to flash my phone with in the first place and put them into their own bundle so I could restore them.
After Flashing with the aZuZu downgrade
I disconnected the phone and turned it on it was stuck at the load screen where it says Sony Ericsson so I connected it again and my pc started downloading drivers.
But I installed the SEMC USB driver in the first place so I was wounder wth was goin on.
It turns out that in order for this to run smoothly you must make sure ALL DRIVERS are installed I personnally thought there was only one driver lol.
So you need to download the SEMC MASS STORAGE driver and 2 others (can't remember the names) perhaps the easiest way would be to just install the latest pc companion not sure but anyways this worked for me.
hope this helps
Hello,
i got a little Problem with my X10 (2.3.3 - rooted) and my Notebook (Acer - Win 7 64 bit).
I tried all ways to install the driver to use USB-Debugging but it won't install. The Device-Manager still tells me SEMC USB as unknown
I tried the usual way, start the phone with holding 'back', install the drivers manually...
Are there any other ways to get it working ?
Same goes for me,
Device manager states that the device is unknown, flashtool not working, PC companion no hope (connected to different USB ports including those of the motherboard).
it used to work but no chance now.
it charges normally from the USB (Orange LED) but would not connect to the PC.
Details:
Windows 7 x64
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
Bootloader Unlocked Xperia X10 with 2.3.3 ROM and Doom's Kernel (the latest one)
The guy here says it is related to either windows windows update or faulty cable

Didn't help...
But installing PC Companion did it
PC Companion install drivers automaticlly,that is the best solution.

I tried removing and installing PC Companion but it didn't work either.
Any help guys?
Changing the computer had no effect as well
You must install SEUS ( Sony Ericsson Update Service ). Only SEUS will install right driver. Problem with SEUS is that when you look on SE official site, they tell you that SEUS for X10 no longer persist, and they guide you to PC companion which is crap.
Try this: try to connect your phone with PC, in flash mode. PC will try to install your phone driver but it can't find it. Then in Action Centar, on PC, (a small flag in sys tray, right down corner of a screen) find solution for this problem, and windows will automatically find SEUS over net. Install and enjoy.
from X10i via XDA premium
tried that but no luck as well (even in flash mode SEUS can not detect the device)
Thank you
hello i found a way and it worked for me download flash tool and extract it look for a folder called drivers in there u will find something called ggsetup-2.2.0.10
run this install it and all done
@huzi7868 thank you for your help
However, that didn't succeed and I reinstalled windows and drivers again, but still not working
Even no luck when the phone is in flashmode
Just tried it on a third Computer and checked the cable but the cable is working on another HTC Desire but not on my Xperia X10 (I mean my X10 cable), however they are both charging
try flashtools, there's a folder called 'drivers' in it, open it and click on the installer

I agree, I also have solved in this way.
Download the latest version of Flashtool and after installing it you will find in the "drivers" folder the file "Flashtool-Drivers.exe".
Run it and select the drivers you need. Then connect again your Xperia X10
I really appreciate your help, but I had done that 3 times and on different computers but "USB Device not recognized"
As I sad before, use SEUS to install SEMC USB DRIVER. I have win 7 64bit, and I install driver on it. First, install Update service. When its finished, start Update Service and follow instruction (check "Licence Agree" button, and click next, then pick your phone, X10i I suppose, be carefull there is two X10, One is X10, and other is X10 SO-01b. I pick X10 for myself, and press NEXT. Turn off your phone, press and hold BACK button on phone while connecting with PC via USB. HOLD till you see message to release BACK button. Till then your driver will be installed.
Download SEUS from here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SBDVZ3DG
@Dzufa Thank you, but I had done that before and tried it again, whenever I connect the phone pressing the back button the green LED illuminates and "USB device is not recognized" appears and nothing happen after that, SEUS just behaves like nothing is connected.
Try with this one. And I think you must be online, because SEUS must download some files.
I really did that and of course updated SEUS, as I said green LED illuminates and nothing happens even in flash tool (it used to work for ages but suddenly it stopped, it only charges)
BTW, I had flashed many kernels and ROMs before it happened so I am quite familiar with flashtool and SEUS, I unlocked the bootloader using 9lucas method and it worked after that I installed XSP ROM and the USB worked as well, however after 2 weeks or so, one day I left it connected it to the PC and I found that the phone turned off and refused to power on, I left it for a while in the charger then powered it on and it powered on, then it has refused to connect to the PC through USB since then.
Please someone advise
I have read about a million threads and am unable to find the answer
My SE x10 mini e10i is in a constant boot loop showing the SE logo
I have tried using SEUS and it worked first time around,but after having tried a different rom to flash again with same problem
This time around it wont repair saying that the version is up to date
Also same with PC companion
First time around Flashtool did not work when I had my phone in USB debugging mode and started to flash it put USB debugging mode off and rebooted the phone. The only ftf that worked was nAa-08 - 2.6.29.6 loader and kernel. The rest of them it gave me the error of USB debugging turned off.
Now it doesn't even want to pass the logo and there is not CWM or xrecovery on the phone. When i try to flash it,the phone resets out of Flash mode and says USB debugging if off please turn on
Please if someone can advise. I even tried updating USB drivers,changing admin rights ex.

i have this problem like this x10mini(my friend phone).....seus not work....flashtool say usb debugging if off...
but PC companion work for me...
SE X10mini with GINGER-DX
HAAHAHAH!!!
Can't believe it,after no sleep and lots of coffee
Got it working,plus flashed GingerDx which is one awesome amazing rom
The whole problem was with Windows 7
After extensive googling, I came across information that Windows 7 compatibility has issues with USB Debugging drivers
Had to set restrictions within Windows and then force install specified drivers
I used Flashtool with admin rights and first tried to flash a whole .ftf but did not succeed
The only .ftf that flashed was the E10_nAa-08_2.6.29.6-nAa-08.ftf
but that only includes a kernel and loader (but which helped me to be able to enter recovery
This is where i copied the Gingerdx.zip file on my SD card and tried to install
Did not work thou,baseband issue like before
So I took a chance,went back to Flashtool and tried to flash another .ftf file
2 of them failed due to the USB debugging issue. I un-installed the USB driver from computer manager,set Flashtool to only install baseband files and then hooked my phone up in flashmode plugged it in and wola,the driver like before installed (correct one for flash and not mass storage)
Thus from here did the whole .ftf flash and then in recovery mode installed the GingerDx.zip which worked now due to the baseband being correct
Thank you coffee,screw you Windows 7 (PS : also being 64bit)
And thank you for one awesome O/S stelios97
Sir I have encountered problem like yours, but with SE WT19i Live,
Please Elaborate this one..
