The thing is.... I have a X10 mini pro (Android 2.1), and I was trying to install Gingerbread Theme on it (Following this steps: aliwaqas.info/install-android-2-3-gingerbread-on-xperia-x10-mini-pro/) I did everything on the right order. But now it doesn't stop rebooting and rebooting and rebooting , please tell me how fix it!!! (like "for dummies" steps). I'll be so grateful
Thanks!
I'm new on this things.................... you realized on that already
your mini is bricked like mine 3 weeks ago. I try to flash it with flasher by bin4ry and using a nordic firmware and it seemed to work.
Then I have other issues I took it to the service center
I used PC Companion to reinstall the system. At first the pc did not recognized the mini (cause it was rebooting), but in the manual says that with a 50% it would work anyway, so it was easy, but I lost all my information, but it was a risk.
Thank you for the help.
my step, just repair it with PC Companion first
run the PC Companion, choose update, it will show repair option
it will download the necessary data. wait for it, it will then show you how to set your device so it can be flashed by the application.

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...
Hello Jozinek, thanks for the quick reply...

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!
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
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

müsste auf jedenfall funktionieren =)

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 ..
I have managed to brick my X10 mini pro by trying to instal CWM Recovery, and now am stuck at SE logo screen.
So far i've tried:
1. Seus - it says my x10 mini pro is up to date and no update available
2. PC Companion - i tried the repair option, but in the end it doesn't let me repair
3. FlashTool - tryed flashing original kernel, new kernel, 1.6android kernel.... and after flashing it keeps getting me to reboot it, and activate debugging mode, which i can't because i'm still stuck at SE logo screen
4. Omnius - payed for a 1 day licence. I can flash it, but still nothing happens. I can't flash read my SE, and can't find any repair option in it...
Is there anything that can whipe it clean, and put the original stuff back again? Or any other solution?
P.S. I can't turn of the screen, not even with home+backbutton+power, only if i get the battery out.
I never thought the repair option in PC Companion wouldn't work if i ever bricked my phone, but ... as I can see for myself it doesn't .
Thank you in advance... hope to get it running, even if it costs me some money
And once again seus ! But remeber seus is not pc companion
Hey there,
If you take out your battery for over a minute and then put it back in, it should stop trying to boot up.
Also, when u connect your phone to the computer while keeping the back button pressed, SEUS should be able to install stock software/firmware regardless of it's opinion that u already have the latest.
This thread is very detailed about unbricking your phone too --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040149 (helped me lots before as well)

Goodluck with your phone
Hello,
Yesterday I've changed kernel in my X10 and since than my prolems begun.
The situation looks like this write now:
-I can't connect it to flashtool bacause of ERROR - USB/VID...(will upload a screenshot later)
-The system won't boot because of wrong kernel (the kernel is propably for froyo)
-I can get into xRecovery, but the SD Card con't be mounted
-Won't connect to SEUS also
The only option that is left to make a full wipe or is there any way to get into internal memory of the phone, so that I could change the xRecovery to older version.
Please if You had such a problem or any idea HELP
I bricked my phone twice in the last 2 days. Keep trying with SEUS untill SEUS give you the repaire option. My last attempt took about 8 upgrade tries before SEUS gave me the repair option. goodluck
Wrong place dudes. Go to Question & Answer box.
BTW, If you unlocked Bootloader, you can brick your phone. Otherwise, no chance to brick it. Here you go:
- Remove SEUS and PC Companion
- Download latest PC Companion and fresh install (Enable Windows auto update first, PC Companion needs it to find latest driver for FlashMODE).
- Restart computer then try using Repair mode in PC Companion (don't connect phone, just click Start in Support Zone and follow, you will find Repair mode)
- Or use FlashTool to Flash Stock firmware.
OK, I've repaired it. Somehow it connected normally to SEUS next today

It because the battery low I think
Sent from my T.E.A.M. powered X10i using XDA App (& the internet...)
The battery wasn't low, it was about 70%, however I'vo loaded it 100% over night and today there was no problem at all. Might be luck!
Hello,
I do not wish to annoy anyone. I seek some help. Before posting and mostly before doing anything with my phone I read all information I could find.
Unlocking bootloader (hardware and official way), rooting, the autoinstaller for CWM. The flashtool, the wotan server, SEUS.
Yesterday I've upgraded my firmware via PC Companion to .62. However this unrooted my phone and I wanted to go back to the old firmware so
I flashed it with WotanServer
After this my phone didnt start and after the SE logo a sign with excalmation mark and phone appeared.
Please, help me. Tell me what should be my next step. Can i fix it myself? Should i pay to someone in the local shop with neon advertisment to fix it?
Please.
Anton.
Download SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Software), and repair your phone with it.
I got same problem with WotanServer, SEUS solved it.
@tomassz82,
can you point me to a working link. All links that I have for SEUS redirect me to a sony support page?
I also forgot to mention that I have done a backup via CWM but I don't know how to restore it as I can't go into CWM anymore.
Ok. Fixed. Thank you tomassz82 for the hope
For future reference: SEUS is an outdated piece of software.
Sony Ericcson PC Companion is its successor.
Intially PC companion fails to recognize the device because it's not turned on completely (by completely i mean booted to the Android).
I restarted my computer. When I connect the phone and start PC Companion somehow, seemingly at random it still doesn't allow to update but it will recognize it once or twice and offer repair. Do it!
Wipe personal settings bla bla..
I could not manage to repair the phone with PCC, but SEUS worked like a charm.
@tomassz82
Which verions of SEUS are you running and where did you downloaded from?
Hi
To start with, I'm a complete noob so sorry about that.
I got an x10 mini pro last year for my birthday. I don't remember the android version it came with but somewhere during the beginning of this year, I updated my phone to android 2.3.4 running on firmware was .62
Anyway, the phone comes with pre installed bloatware and the new update stuff like the 3d camera (which I never use and don't want)
So, I set about the scary task of rooting my phone. I tried z4root and superoneclick. They didn't work so I used Flash Tool 0.7.1.0.
I did a lot of reading and spend a lot of time going through tutorials before starting.
First, I flashed .42 firmware on the phone.
The log said that it was flashed successfully. I tried rebooting the phone but it gets stuck. The screen shows "Sony Ericsson" (the text) and it dissolves into blue color. Then it loops again. So I guess it's bricked?
PC companion doesn't read the phone so I can't use that.
I tried using SE update but it gives me an error message (I'm on Windows 8 so it could be the Java)
Flash Tool doesn't recognize the phone anyway.
I can't enter flashmode or fastboot mode.
Half of me wants to throw this phone against the wall but the other half of me just wants to fix this.
HELP?????
Edit: OK, now it won't even go to the boot screen. Its completely dead. When I press the power button, it vibrates but the screen is black. No LED light either.
Well i had bricked my phone too.
It was sawing sony and sony again and again.
It wasnt recognized by seus or PCC either but flashtool could detect it at least.
And Just a question your phone stopped working out of nowhere? i mean not even the led would light?
You did something. didnt you?
edit:
After i research i found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455
Let me remind you a thing.
You have to keep holding back and then connect your phone with the PC.
EDIT AGAIN:
try uninstalling every single app wich interacts with your mobile also uninstall all the drivers in your computer for your phone and then reinstall flashtool and install all the drivers (for me it worked once... i dont know why but th drivers where not working correctly) from flashtool
