The new firmware provided be SE will not let you to get root access.......In a solution try to flash it to the custom ROMs.........The to install custom ROMs you need Bin4ry Flash Tool.....Download the Flash Tool from here and then use below steps-:
Pro: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455
Mini: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825664
In order to use the flasher just try these steps:
1)Download SEUS and Pc Companion and connect the phone with them at least once (just connect)[Forget this if you done it already]
2)Make sure you have the latest java installed on your pc.
3)Download the flasher from Bin4ry (Just make sure you've downloaded the mini and not the mini pro edition).
4)Download from the same thread a Generic 2.0.A.0.504 FW and put the folder with the .sin files inside the flashtool's directory.
5)Run the flashtool, press flash and then choose the name of the folder, where the .sin files are in.
6)While the phone is off, keep the back button pressed and connect on usb until the green light is on.

Has anyone successfully debranded using the usual tutorials anymore?
Nope, the quick swap method on seus didn't work anymore.
You can try looking at this thread though. It's a bit less simple, but it does the trick.

I used the method @Gentimp referred to in the link and it worked first time, hook up your phone and press any key on the command it will install a 026 generic version on your phone, simple
vengeance
the old method worked fine for me. I debranded last week using it, although took 7 tries.
yeah last week it still worked, but now it wont. there was a little update on the SEUS, i think this prevented us from debranding
you can use this method to debrand too :

If its posted on an internet forum its public knowledge. Link it up. Link to the thread, not the creators tools or whatever directly.
Use this metode:
1. Download the firmware you want
2. Use SEUS or PC COMP to update your phone
3. Go to Program filles /sony ericsson and replace those 2files with the one that u download at step 1... dont forget to rename the filles
4. Now run again SEUS or PC C... it will say taht u are up to date so u need to give repair

Use this method by Grospolina. I did it yesterday and took me like 5 minutes. Just apply step 1 if you just want to debrand and the rest for root and market access. I think its the easiest.
These are the steps I did:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7490733#post7490733
1)Download for your model X10a or X10i
2)Run RootX10a_v2.cmd
3)Select option 1 (A message appears, don't click just yet)
4)Connect your phone in flash mode (turn off, wait 30secs, press back while connecting the usb cable)
5)When the green led light appears on your phone quickly hit a key and the process starts
6)Let it finish and Bingo!! You got Generic LAM R2BA026
If you want to root and market access select the other options. (I used the Stand alone root on another post and installed market access)

Cant say anything with the amount of information you provided..
May be try SuperOneClick root this time..
I downloaded the Androot from web and installed. Then I opened and it finished rooting. SO first time i rebooted phone it did loop 3 to 4 times but came on and next day I rebooted again to find out if it goes in to loop mode and it just kept looing for like 12 to 14 times and never turned on fully so i had to flash the phone using SE Companion repair utility.
It is Mini Pro AND has 1.2.A.1.183 with 2.6.29 Kernel and 1.6 firmware

If you are using 1.6, try using exploid method.. May be something went wrong during the root process. Still cant say anything conclusive.
First of all, I suggest you to update your phone to Version 2.1-update1.
Afterwards use SuperOneClick to gain Root Access.
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

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 All,
I rooted the phone using z4mod, no problems.
I extracted the three files chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar and copied them using Root Explorer, set 777 permissions.
Phone rebooted okay, but holding back button few times after SE logo wasn't working, Re-installed Busybox from /system/xbin to /system/bin and now when phone is turned on, it comes up to Sony Ericsson then to the SE Logo screen, then it reboots back to Sony Ericsson and it does this continually until I pull battery out.
Is this fixable and please how do I go about it and if there is a thread already about this can I be directed to that page.
Thank You,
Jim

Thanks, but that didn't work, it was failing as the phone does reboot itself in a continual loop. I used the PC Software companion and performed a repair. All fixed. So I will start again. I have found the xrecovery.apk since, I will see how this goes.
Have installed the xrecovery with the three green ticks. Phone still won't boot into xrecovery. At least it boots okay now, just not into xrecovery pressing the back button.
My firmware is 2.0.x.x.x, does this need to be updated to 2.1.1.x.x?
Or is there a thread here that explains how to do this?
Thanks,

just close the SuperOneClick window if you have rooted your phone when it pops up and continue following the instructions.
You are a legend, that actually worked.
I tried so many other ways, and the xRecovery gave me the three green ticks, etc. Still couldn't boot into it, so I used your script and it works fine.
Can I ask what was I doing wrong?
Was it maybe I was using the incorrect version of xRecovery? I tried .02a and .02b, .03, none of those worked.
Thank you, you just made it too easy.
My phone is actually 2.0.A.0.504 U20A. Now to try some ROMS if I can find any for U20a.

Could have been a permissions problem, a busybox problem, I have no clue lol. In terms of roms, the custom roms are generic so they work for the u20a. I currently use CM6 3.4 and love it.

I have just rooted my phone and installed xcyanogen v3.4 for the x10mini pro.
Everything worked fine, I have even managed to go into xRecovery after the installation and reinstalled xcyanogen three times.
This morning, I updated my Busybox from busybox installer from Market. Installed V1.19 busybox, I guess the previous one installed with cynogenmod6 was v1.15 then
*The phone reboots suddenly, and hence after
*I only have an Unlock screen that works, displaying clock, charging stats etc with NO SIGNALS
*If i unlock the screen, it will have a DSOmanager force close window followed by unlimited LauncherPro force close windows
*I am UNABLE to go into xRecovery to reinstall the system, unalbe to do anything now.
I am a newbie, any pros would help me pls? Thanks so much!
I say mate if you can't get back into xRecovery you migh need to flash the phone.
Let's hope someone else here has an easier solution for you dude.

Even if phone shows up error triangle you should be able to use standart flash mode.

No problem, it could be done, but not so simply. I did rooting and xrecovery installation without Flashtool many times since Flashtool werent possible torun on Linux
Root could be done with exploit zergRush; but try SuperOneClick first. It will take some time root it completely manual.
Same with xrecovery, but its much more simple, pasting three or four files to root FS.
Try superoneclick first, if it wont help, will provide more step by step information.
EDIT:
Simpliest solution - almost forgotten
Download the zip provided underthis post.
Extract the zip file.
Connect your phone to computer (remember, that USB debugging must be on!!!)
Run file runme.bat (command line window will appear).
Enjoy !

RELAX first.
You will have to flash the stock SE firmware is by using the X10 Flashtool i .e. get your phone to stock and then root it again.

do you have USB debugging and unknown sources turned on your phone? Because its really strange why adb cant connect.
What ROM and kernel you are currently running on?
@dello what does ur pc say when u type adb devices?

hi,
running the official rom and kernal that the SEUS installed running 2.3.3
and yes debugging mode and allow are both on but still says cannot connect to deamon, could it be the boot loader? i put ICS on a xperia play and did that fine, do i need to unlock the bootloader like i did with the play?
i did try to but the se website wont unlock it
and ADB in dos wont pick it up list empty
