[Q] X10 Mini is not booting and restarting - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi,
I rooted my x10 mini, went into system apps folder and unfortunately I deleted many things inside the apps folder. Now the phone boots, shows Sony Ericsson splash and restarts. It keeps doing that and I cannot get my phone on. Can you please suggest how can I get this phone working again?

Unless you got xrecovery already installed and know whats missing from the phone that's creating this situation you need to reflash.

I removed the apps folder from system. That is creating the problem. Is there any way to install the firmware again without turning the phone on?

it happened to me when I replaced the framework.apk but forgot to change permissions. I reflashed with SEUS. it was a little difficult because the mobile reseting all the time, but after some tries, my PC detected the mobile and allowed the flashing.

Can you please tell me how I can do that?

You can go here for flashing your little phone:

Yea, just reflash it and everything will be ok
Also, i can give you the list of <safe to remove> apps if you are interested, i downed it to the max, and everything work without any errors.

[Q] Bricked my phone trying to get xrecovery to work

I tried -everything- found, to try and get to boot into xrecovery. I saw someone fixing it by reinstalling, and first deleting xrecovery within /local/tmp/ so I did that. At the second I deleted the xrecovery folder with RootExplorer phone crashed. Now it's permanentely stuck at Sony Ericsson-logo screen.
PC Suit offers no help since I can't boot the phone it claims it's not connected.
I downloaded "Omnius for SE" but I don't understand it's usage, since I don't have backup of my phone..
Can anyone help me out please, I'm scared
try to get your phone working again with SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service), you can download it from the SE site.
I'm an android-newbie, but afaik you will loose your personal data.

when I used SEUS after bricking my phone it rebooted constantly without allowing me to break in^^ my solution to this was disconnecting the battery (which actually is pretty easy) then I could make another reflash with SEUS, and then I had a working phone

[Q] Help. Stuck in bootloop after changing theme

Can someone please help me with this problem. I downloaded a theme from market for cm7, the rom i am using now. I restarted the phone, and now its stuck on bootloop. I have recovery installed, and i know i can flash a new rom or the same one, but i dont want to lose all my contacts and data that is on the phone. Is there a way to start the phone without flashing, or at least retreve the data, thanks
Still problems
Guys, the problem kinda solved itself. I took out the battery, put it back in. And put the phone on the charger. I didn`t turn it on, but after about 20 minutes, it turned itself on. Really dont know how? I managed to change back the theme, and delete it. I also backed up all my data. But i still have problems. My status bar has disapered, and my fonts and icons are still stuck on the previous theme. Maybe a simple reset will fix that, but im afraid to do it because it could again be stuck on bootloop. Any ideas?
I have same problem with you.
After I instaled my cooked theme from uot kitchen,my phone stuck in bootloop,and then I try to make booting with hold power button + home keys (center button)
And it's work for my e10i with nAa-13 + minicm7 v2.1.1
Keep trying to make it your phone booting.
Maybe not work on your phone but it works to me anytime I got bootloop.

Try a "Wipe Data/Factory reset" from CWM.
This might help you as it will turn your phone to a "just installed" state...
Of course, first backup anything that might not be on sdcard, like contacts etc...

[Q] Blank Screen After Flashing Custom ROM

I have been visiting this site ever since I first read about X10 & was fascinated by it (I have always loved SE phones). Anyway, I have since gotten an X10i (AT&T) & have de-branded it as well as unlocking & rooting it. Here goes:
I installed Champs' Rom (x10sV9-addon) but didn't want all the clutter he had pre-installed. To make a long story short, I went back to Wolf's ROM via Xrecovery but something went wrong. I can no longer boot into Xrecovery & after SonyEricsson logo, screen goes blank, not black/blue just blank. The other problem is, since I can't see the screen, I can't turn on the USB connection so my PC/Flashtool/SEUS can recognize my device so I can fix it. This happened while trying to re-install Wolf's ROM & installing the following zip files via Xrecovery: Bravia_Xloud engine, Xperia S Player, Champ + Bar, x10_gb_stock_wifi_modules. Then I rebooted & I get the blank screen. I know it is on because I can turn the volume all the way down to vibrate. The "home" button still lights up. PLEASE, I need someone's help with this one as I am no expert, just a moderate tinkerer. ANY help/incite would be appreciated. Sorry, I can't even give you any screenshots. Can anyone out there help me out? Thanx in advance.

You said the button still lights up? can you get into recovery? if so just wipe system and install a rom! and try flashing a kernel with flashtool!!!!
RE: Blank Screen After Flashing Custom ROM
Thanx for getting back to me so fast. As I said, the screen is blank. That is, the backlit display works but I can see nothing else. The "Home" button lights up when i press it but the display does nothing. If/When I reboot to try to enter XRecovery, I see the SonyEricsson logo followed by the backlit screen & nothing else. The Volume up/down buttons work as I am able to silence the phone by turning volume all the way down to vibrate. Because I cannot see what's on the display, I cannot turn USB on/off to connect to PC to run SEUS/Flashtool, etc. I.E. I cannot fix the device. Usually I just boot into XRecovery to fix a problem like this but that doesn't work.
x10
hy, install sony update service and repair your phone, then install again custom rom, the indications how to repair your phone software is in the program.
Best regards
Does USB need to be On or Off on the device for Update Service to run?

I wish I had gotten this solution sooner. Not sure if it would have mattered. When trying to use Flashtool I kept getting an error saying my phone was not in "flash mode".
I solved my problem by flashing using Omnius & flashing firmware 'X10i_generic_SE_24_MultiTouch.rar'. This got my phone back but it was only 2.1 so I used 'DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su' to get me back to 2.3, but this is where I'm at. I had Wolf's firmware before but right now I have no xRecovery installed. I thought I had rooted my phone but xRecovery isn't installed nor is Busybox.. Any ideas? Thanx in advance...EVERYONE @ XDA-DEVELOPERS rox!
I haven't replied to this post because I'm at my wit's end. I still can't get XRecovery installed & I think I've tried all the methods out there. Maybe my problem is that I restored my phone using Omnius. Flashtool works OK but I can't do anything but Flash on it. My phone is a headache now. It freezes up, crashes & sometimes won't read the SD card. Please help...

C if u can repair phone using SEUS now. Open the software without connecting phone. N then go to the update part. It should give u a repair option. Then follow those steps. Or else just connect ur phone n then start software. When it tells u ur phone is up to date click on that n then click on "repair". Then use the latest flashtool to root. Recoveries come with kernels so just flash a custom kernel.

Many Thanks, I was finally able to use SEUS; before I could not. I used Flashtool to upgrade/downgrade kernel. However, I still don't have XRecovery installed & I'm not sure how to do this. I can't install XRecovery using Flashtool. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would really like to install a custom Rom again.
I don't think u need to upgrade or downgrade.. just look for a link to download xrecovery here and follow instructions

I'm not sure how it went down but prior to this, I was unable to use SEUS. No matter what I did, I couldn't repair it. However, since your post, I was able to use SEUS & Flashtool to get back to where I was before I screwed up my X10a. I'm currently running Wolf's Rom (many thanx!!!) & am very satisfied w/all your help homey! You da man!
I noticed you are running ICS on your X10i. Any help so that I may partake of that deliciousness?

Ur welcome i don't think u need help you just flashed a custom ROM.. the procedure for installing ICS is the same. Although it'd be better if you are on stock before installing it.. just look for an ICS ROM that u like (I'm using feralab n it works like a charm).
Get the kernel n ROM.. as usual, put the ROM zip on ur SD card, flash the kernel, install ROM from recovery
Although before installing:
1. In recovery go to mounts n storage
2. Format system data n cache
3. Mount system, data n cache (note that if the mounting is successful the options should change to unmount system, unmount data, unmount cache respectively)
4. Then install ROM
5. The installer is GUI based so it'll guide u really well through the installation

[Q] Bugged Sony Xperia U

I recently bought sony xperia u. It turned out that it has multiple problems. The phone is locked to Orange but i have the unlock code. However everytime i turn off the phone, i have to enter the code again. It happens with all other settings, they are not saved after restart. There is more to it, wi-fi can't turn on. When i try to clear the internal memory, nothing happens. Even more, there are pictures and call logs, when deleted, they come back after restart. While working errors about stopped processes appear all the time, and some apps can not be opened for the same reason - errors as "stopped working".. I hope you have some suggestions for repairing my phone :crying:

[Q] Am I Bricked/SoftBricked, Or lose my OS ? Please help.thanks

Please be patient,& Gentle with me, I'm new here,,, (TY) Hi, I have a Pantech P9060 (old I know ) Android 2.3.4 , Gingerbread( Stock Rom). It's rooted. It will turn on, load in the boot screen- and stop there, and if I touch the power/menu keys, it will start the loop acting boot process, without re-starting the phone , just continuous boot screen. I have changed the boot screen probably 3/4 times from the original AT&T screen using Jimmy Rummel apps, Rom Installer . I've tried returning back from backup, Titanium Pro, I backed up to google drive as well, but regardless I can't seem to reset to factory( which I've done before), or even update, Nothing.. It's so frustrating. I've searched these forums inside out for a solution as to not bother you guys with my old phone issues, but I have to admit, I need help with this. I don't think it's hard bricked, I'm thinking I may have flashed the wrong Rom( im not sure though) trying to upgrade from 2.3.4 .. Not positive though. I sure hope there's someone to help me here, It wont connect to the PC syncing, Pantech PC Suite, yet my pc shows the phone in Device Manager and Computer. So I'm hoping I've done something simple, :/ stupid,,but simple. Anyone help me out ? Rooted Apps & System info/apps on my phone are in a File Manager > xposed, bootmanager, clockworkmod, rom mod installer pro, Titanium Pro, and others...Can it someway be just flashed to a new rom of some version? :crying: Thanks in advance.......

Don't think that there are any custom updates. I found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IOQJJCSKC4 - Sorry it's not in English, but it's the only thing I found that actually had a download of the rom. Even Pantech doesn't seem to have anything besides the manual and drivers for it.

If the device powers up but is not able to boot into the operating system, that is referred to as a soft brick.
