how do you make a hardreset on the Xperia X10 Mini pro???
Plz help, and thx anyway
As far as I am aware, there are two methods.
1. If the phone can be started, enter the settings menu and go to the "Phone and SD Card Storage" option, then select to restore phone to standard settings. This will restore the phone to factory settings.
2. If phone cannot be started or won't boot all the way, try a software update/reinstall + master reset using PC Companion or the SEUS Update software, available on the SE homepage.
Neither method will touch SD memory stick or SIM storage.
There's quite alot of people out there with these that are trying to get this thing unlocked, rooted, de-bricked......... Guess what.......
Part one.....
Ok People,
This zip has three files in it named....
#BTBLOCK.BIN
#REDBOOT.BIN
.
.
and
.
.
#NORKERN.BIN
This is just to proove that I have done something with the Zeen. For all of you that dont think that it's possible.... have a look. I'm currently uploading the rest of the rom as we speak.... it's slow, dont despair, we have crap uploads here where I come from.......
The #NORKERN.BIN file was missing from the origonal post from a page I cant remember on here...... so here it it..... i'll be adding the rest as i type...
#MCCROOT.BIN
#MCCAPP.BIN
#MCCPRVT.BIN
#MMCDATA.BIN
These 4 files are big, so bare with me...
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8XI6S4OH <------- #REDBOOT.BIN #BTBLOCK.BIN #NORKERN.BIN
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MG8S5EEG <------- #MMCROOT.BIN
I'm also going to be modifying this rom to the max, as soon as I sus out a few things..... I'm not a dev..... but I learn faster than the average bear.....
This is all possible with the help of the internet and countless webpages that gave me the tools and knowhow to do what i've done.... so I thank the people out there..... yeah, you know who you are.... (if you read this).
Great job! I am sure this would definitely help out the community!!!
I have uploaded the #MMCROOT.BIN file, so GO FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!.
Cheers.
Sorry for the bump on this old thread. I was wondering if you had the #MCCAPP.bin file. I saw you named it but never uploaded it. Could you please share this? Thanks.
hey lynxdog thanks for this
will try do it following these instructions from dennis_angelo: Step 1
1) Insert the SD card into the PC card reader. If any files exist on SD card, delete them.
2) Copy the “#BTBLOCK.BIN” file to the root of the SD card.
3) Insert the SD card into the Zeen SD card slot. (The Zeen should be powered off, if it isn’t do that now.)
4) Locate the 2 square buttons next to each other on the back side of the Zeen (volume controls)
5) Press and hold those 2 buttons.
6) Press the power button (located on the back side of Zeen on the same edge as the headphone jack) once while still holding the 2 buttons.
7) Observe the screen: Once a loading bar appears release the 2 buttons.
8) Once the loading bar completes turn off the Zeen unit.
Step 2
1) Insert the SD card into the PC card reader. If any files exist on SD card, delete them.
2) Copy the “#REDBOOT.BIN” file to the root of the SD card.
3) Insert the SD card into the Zeen SD card slot. (The Zeen should be powered off, if it isn’t do that now.)
4) Locate the 2 square buttons next to each other on the back side of the Zemea
Step 3 (I don't have the following files but I pressumed these are the android kernel)
1) Insert the SD card into the PC card reader. If any files exist on SD card, delete them.
2) Copy “#MMCAPP.BIN”, “#MMCROOT.BIN”, “#NORKERN.BIN” files to the root of the SD card.
3) Insert the SD card into the Zeen SD card slot. (The Zeen should be powered off, if it isn’t do that now.)
4) Locate the 2 square buttons next to each other on the back side of the Zeen:
5) Press and hold those 2 buttons.
6) Press the power button (located on the back side of Zeen on the same edge as the headphone jack) once while still holding the 2 buttons.
7) Observe the screen: Once a loading bar appears release the 2 buttons. 3 loading bars will appear this time one after the other. The first loading bar will take a minute after completing before the 2nd and then 3rd loading bars appear. Please wait until all three loading bars complete and an onscreen message will then ask you to remove the SD card and power down the unit.
8) Finally, press the power button once and allow Zeen to boot fully. The unit should start in OUT OF BOX EXPERIENCE (OOBE) mode. So it should be asking for your location and language
please someone post MMCAPP.BIN file
thanks
#MMCAPP.BIN
Has anyone figured out where this elusive #MMCAPP.BIN can be found. Apparently it is needed to run the apps once you've done all the other steps. I did everything but my apps tab no longer works on the zeen. Everytime I hit it I get a message 'Application not installed on your Zeen". Does anyone have a fix to take it back? I've done the factory reset and it still comes up the same.
I have no way of accessing the apk's on the SD card now.
***UPDATE*** I installed launcher pro and a z4root and eas file manager and eas task manager and have been able to get to all the apk's and all files on the SD card and have only run into maybe 5 apk's that wouldn't function once installed the rest work great. I also installed 'awesome drop' which allows me to get files to the zeen without the use of the USB cable. However this comes after using the prescribed steps in the above posting which has totally screwed my Zeen. The #mmcapp.bin is a much needed file and until somebody posts it, I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING THE ABOVE STEPS. They wipe your zeen clear of any access to your printer apps which is now my BIG problem. I am begging anyone who may own a factory back-up of the zeen to post it or make me an offer to buy it from you. I have no access to my eFax app or any of my HP apps since the method above screwed my zeen, hence screwed me. You should not be posting this crap if you do not have all the files needed.
Mentioned apps are attached to make your life easier than this was for me.
Anyone looking to root this thing, stick with Z4Root, Launcher Pro and take it from there. I have tons of apps on my Zeen and am using it soley as a tablet now because the brainiacs with the above postings gave us all such bad advice by not posting the #mmcapp.bin file with these instructions..
I have Googled all over the place looking for a factory rom for the zeen and am having no luck. A factory reset is not the answer because one of the bin files in the above steps wipes access to everything once you have it 'redhacked' and I have been unable to undo whatever the redboot.bin file has done. A full factory reset just brings me back to setup, but the zeen still boots showing 'redhacked' and once it is up and operational the apps tab no longer works. Even with launcher pro there are still no HP apps for printing, scanning or eFax. It turned what was already a disappointing purchase into a paperweight.
Thanks in advance

Does this help:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/opensource/HP_Photosmart_eStation_C510/
I hope so.
So I may have bricked my phone because yes, I am an idiot.
Here's how I bricked it:
Pre-stuff: I downloaded ROM Manager on my newly rooted phone and installed Clockwork Recovery. My device wasn't supported, so I had to use one of the "Other models" options and it installed fine from the looks of it.
1. I was going to flash it to Xquizit 6.1, so I put the Superwipe and the rom itself on the phone's internal memory.
2. I went into recovery. I was given 4 options;
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
install fota
3. I went to apply update from sdcard and was told to use the Superwipe. Well me not reading it correctly, apparently this was supposed to be done via an external SD card. Not the internal memory. So basically I'm assuming it got rid of every single trace of the actual operating system.
4. Mistake #2: I misread the Superwipe instructions thinking it already made a Nandroid backup for me (I have no idea what that is or how to make one) so I figured I was fine.
5. Now when my phone boots up without me pressing extra buttons, it goes to the Samsung splash screen and then the Exhibit II 4G splash screen for a long period of time before turning off, restarting, and doing it over again.
6. I was told that I should have used an external SD card, so I went out and bought a micro SD card + a USB card reader so I could put files on it. I put the Xquizit 6.1 rom on the micro SD card, but low and behold, I go into recovery and go into my file tree, find external_sd only to see that the only folder on said external_sd was an empty DCIM folder...
So heres some basic info:
When I hold Up + Power button, it will boot into the same recovery. I get 4 options, as mentioned above. No option to mount the SD card, no place to view the contents of the SD card. None of the options are any use to me right now except "apply update from sdcard". One problem though, since (I think) it's the internal memory, when I go to try and flash my rom through there I get an error:
Code:
-- Install /sdcard ...
E: Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (No s
pace left on device)
Installation aborted.
When I hold Down + Power button, it takes me to a warning screen that says "A custom OS can cause critical problems in a phone and installed applications. If you want to download a custom OS, please press the volume up key. Otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel." When I press volume up, it takes me to a screen that says Odin Mode, has a lil bit of info in the upper right, and has the Android logo along with "Downloading... do not turn off target!!"
Except I left it on this all night and it didn't do anything...(probably a noob thing to say).
When I hold Up AND Down + Power button, it takes me to the ramdump screen.
So far from all my Googling I can't seem to find people who have had the same issues as me. Any idea on what I can do? Much thanks in advance.
*I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY BE DONE TO YOUR PHONE WHILE FOLLOWING THIS TUTORIAL*
*READ AND FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY OR YOU "WILL" RUN INTO PROBLEMS*
CREATING A GOLD CARD
Ok first we need to modify an sd card to make something called a gold card. Don't ask me what it is because honestly I have no idea I just know it is a necessary process in getting S-OFF.
1. Backup all files on your SD card as we will be formatting the card and you will lose all of your data.
2. Plug your phone into your computer and make sure hard disk mode is chosen. (Make sure USB debugging is turned on also)
3.Extract SimpleGoldCard_v1.zip to your desktop and start SimpleGoldCard.exe.
4. Select your SD card's drive letter in the drop down menu under "Step 1 - Format SD Card" and then select Format. If your drive letter is not showing up try pressing the refresh button next to the drop down menu.
5. Select ok when it says Format Complete then turn your phones USB Connection option to Charge Only instead of Disk Drive.
6. Next under "Step 3" select the MMC1 radio button and then click on GetCID. (It will produce a long list of jumbled numbers and letters this is your SD card ID)
7. Then select the link under "Step 4 - Request for IMG file". Copy the long ID from "Step 3" and paste it into the CID space on the web page you just opened and then fill out the captcha form and click Download to download your goldcard.img file (Save to your desktop)(the goldcard.img files are specific to individual SD Cards)
8. Close the page once you have downloaded your file and then bring back the Simple Gold Card application. Under "Step 5 - Load IMG File And Patch" select Load IMG and locate the goldcard.img file that you just downloaded and select it.
9. Put your phone back into Disk Drive mode and then click Patch MMC. Once everything is complete you should have a working gold card. (To make sure, remove your SD card and reinsert it and make sure that it still functions normally.
After your gold card has been made you need to download and unrar the DIAG Files.rar file I have uploaded. Extract the of the folder to the root of the new Gold Card you have just made. There should be two files and it should look like this when you are complete.
F:/PG76DIAG.nbh
F:/PG76DIAG.zip
*F being the letter of your removable drive whatever that may be
Before we move on to the next step we need to make sure that Fast Boot is turned off. So to do that you need to go to Settings/Power and then make sure Fast Boot is not selected.
INSTALLING THE DIAG FILES
2. Boot into HBOOT by holding Volume down while pressing the power button (you do not need to hold the power button, only hold the volume down button) The HBOOT screen will boot up and then you can let go of the Volume down button.
3. The phone will automatically scan the SD card for the files we just put on the root of the SD card and will start the update process.
4. A screen will appear that says Clean s58. Press the power button once to select clean s58 and the phone will start doing it's thing and should take about a good 20 seconds until it's finished.
6. Once the phone is off remove the SD card so that the phone doesn't install the DIAG files when we boot into HBOOT to check if we now have S-OFF.
7. Boot into HBOOT again by holding Volume down and quickly pressing the power button. The phone should boot into HBOOT and at the top of the screen it should now say S-OFF.

holding the power button for 10 seconds will reboot the phone, same as a battery pull would. Even in bootloader mode.

trying it now. Does the gold card have to be the main SD card, or can i use another one as a one time thing?
I think ill wait for a more proven method ...not trying to brick my *unicorn* phone
Thread Closed:
Seems the OP didn't make it specifically for this phone and has not tried it.
I wouldn't try this...
I would like to keep a copy of my encryption key around to be able to do a few different things.
Can I export it the key, where is it stored?
Things I would like to do:
I am having trouble accessing the SD card via USB, this way I could hook it up directly with adapter and access/import files if I had the key.
Re-flash ROM and import key and mount SD card.
Recover from broken ROM.
Thanks in advance!
I am now able to access SD card from Windows VIA
1. Go to Settings –> Storage and USB.
2. Go to Internal Storage –> Cached Data to clear cache.
3. Go to Settings –> Apps. Hit the top right corner ellipses, hit “Show System”. That should bring up “Media Storage” in the list of apps.
4. Once you open Media Storage, hit “Force Stop”.
5. Switch of the phone, and turn it back on.

I also found a link on where the Key is stored, but its a lot of information to go thru!
nelenkov.blogspot.com/2015/06/decrypting-android-m-adopted-storage.html#!/2015/06/decrypting-android-m-adopted-storage.html
But I think the Key is located @ /data/misc/vold/expand_***********************.key, I'll have to check later and post back, but if anyone else wants to jump the gun, feel free!
