[SOLVED] [Q] [HELP] BRICKED X10 Mini pro - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

SOLVED
______________________________________________
first for jumping out of flash mode, i used pc companion's repair, even though it didn't worked, but at least it kept my phone in the flashing mode
second, after the failure of pc companion, i opened flashtool and flashed a 1.6 one onto it.
third, my phone was running again!!
______________________________________________
hey guys,
i have bricked my phone
i have tried the solutions here, but none helped:
* seus said: the phone has already the latest version installed
* repairing said: there is no software available for your phone yet
* sometimes the going into flash mode doesn't work, it simply jumps out of it, but by pressing some buttons, it remains in there
[edit: now i can't make it to stay in flashing mode anymore]
* the combination back+home+power does not have any effect
* flashtool reaches to the end and says
29/044/2011 17:44:36 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
29/044/2011 17:44:36 - INFO - Then go to application settings
29/044/2011 17:44:36 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
though nothing happens afterwards (and by nothing i mean it still remains at the SE TEXT, not logo).
NOTE: I rooted my xperia before using flashtool, but i couldn't install recovery, and even when i was installing root with SuperOneClick, everything was smooth and said success except the test which failed.
PS: if i use a generic ROM, would that help? i flash this firmware with flashtool:
Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24[rooted]X10 Mini Pro (U20i)

You flashed with xrecovery ? Can you access it and fix permissions ?

yes, the rom had xrecovery, but holding on back and power doesn't lead to the xrecovery, the text still shows up, though it has a delay and the grean light blinks once

I´m dealing with the same issue. xrecovery was installed but I can´t even access it because the cell phone hangs on Sony Ericsson logo screen.
still unsolved. cant use usb- wont connect. green blink and thats all. logo hangs up all the time.

I had the same problem with xRecovery.
before I put the beta 2, I have made a backup with xRecovery to save my 2.1 [Eminence v1.2]
then I stucked with SE white logo, I pulled the battery out, rebooted and went back to xRecovery..
so If you didn't made any backup, use Flash Tool or reflash.. same thing, same result

Help!!

SEUS
Just download the Sony Ericsson Update Service - SEUS - Run it - follow the prompts - force a system restore - it will work.
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/updateservice/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en
Hold the back key while putting in the battery, cable already connected and SEUS running - your looking at the bootloader saying - no firmware - so load one onto it and your good!

Thanks man, its all working
Thanks
Aussies are awesome

The X10 is impossible to brick, that is about the only good thing with the locked bootloader that SE uses.
You should be able to resolve your problem by starting PC companion agian, and follow the instructions as you did the first time (when you pulled the cable). When inserting the USB while holding the back-key down the phone enters flash mode, this flash mode does not get overwritten when flashing the android OS, so even if the OS is corrupted the flashmode still works, and can be used to rewrite a fresh copy of android to your phone.

Its an easy fix,flash the phone on flash tool

[Q] x10 stuck on Sony Ericsson screen

Hi all,
I tried to put a other custom rom on my x10 but it didnt work:
First i rooted the phone, then istalled xrecovery then i booted into xrecovery and selected custom rom, now my phone booted but its stuck on the Sony Ericsson screen
Flashtool is able to root the phone but then the debugging mode error comes,
Seus cant connect with the phone because i cant boot into save mode, also flashtool cant connect with the phone if i try to flash it.
im out of ideas!
HELP!

sorry for this bump but im desperate!

First of all. Was your root successful? If yes then does your base band support the rom that you're trying to install because one gets stuck in the boot loop if the baseband is not correct for that particular rom.
Cheers!

It says the root was succesfull, but then you have to enable USB-Debugging mode but thats impossible beacause there isnt a correct rom on the phone so you cant boot and enable USB-Debugging mode.

I had the same problem 2 days ago.
I fixed it by downloading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959821 this one
Place it into flashtool, and wait till flashtool gives you the message to connect your phone in flashmode.
(im probably sure you know how to, but ill explain it anyways, remove your battery (because its stuck on the logo), wait a few seconds. put it back in. hold the back button, and connect the usb wire, untill the ledlight turns green.. fast press 'ok' on the flashtool screen, otherwise your phone will go out of flashmode)

Thanks, for the reply,
Ive contacted the Phone house, and they sended it back to SE, now SE says the phone has water damage, very wierd but still ill get it back today and then try to flash it your way

[Q]

I recently found a thread that I posted this question to, but I did not get an answer, so I'm posting it here, for a bigger audience.
I was trying to install an another rom to the X10 Mini with clockworkmod installed. When the installation finished, cwm said that its installation had been damaged. I selected the option to fix the problem and after that the phone just restarted and went broken.
My phone doesn't even show the boot animation, it just has the sony ericsson logo, it doesn't stay off and when restoring with flashtool I get the message Error flashing. Aborted.
First, the phone stays in the flashing mode only when I keep the back button pressed, but after a failed flashing attempt it stays in the mode (without pressing the back key and with the green led on) and when I try flashing again, it fails after a while.
What would this be about? And what can I do to recover my X10 mini?
Do you happen to know if there's a confirmed working flashtool for the 2.1 update and x10 mini (not pro) OR another failsafe method to fix the phone somehow when even the recovery doesn't work?

Have you tried SEUS?

Restore your phone using Pc Companion or seus and then read every instruction 20 times, before doing anything. The only reason for errors is that you didn't do everything right.

Can you still access xrecovery at all?
If not, what can you when you try to flash something via flashtool?

Did you try PC Companion instead?

Flash the stock SE firmware (I would recommend the 2.3.3 one to save yourself trouble) from Flashtool. If that doesn't work, you're pretty much screwed.
DL firmware from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746

Best option is given by Panzerfaust101
Another option is as follows:
Remove the battery.
Connect your phone to system with the battery still out.
Now hold the back button and put the battery on, green led will glow.
Now you are on flash mode and this would stay for not more than 10 secs, install the latest firmware and then try accessing Xrecovery.
Its should do the trick!!

[Q] [HELP] Have I hard-bricked my brand new Xperia Z2?

Okay, I'm not sure exactly what you'll need to know to help, so I'll just tell you what I think is important....
Current situation:
- If I boot the phone normally it freezes at the SONY screen and goes no further.
- If I attempt to boot into recovery mode, it loads the CWM screen (logo in the middle with instructions at bottom), but no actual menu or options. After about 5 seconds, this screen disappears, the phone reboots and then gets stuck on the SONY screen.
- If I connect the phone to the computer in Flashmode Flashtool recognizes it as being connected, but regardless of what I do, after about 2mins the phone reboots, loses connection with the computer, and freezes on the SONY screen as before mentioned.
- If I connect the phone to the computer normally while stuck on the SONY screen, the PC recognizes it though doesn't allow me to do anything to it, and Flashtool says I need to install drivers (I have installed every driver that comes with Flashtool).
How I got here:
- I've rooted the phone
- I've flashed Z2_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-438-v05
- I've unlocked the bootloader (via Flashtool)
- I've installed [Rom][Unofficial]Slim Rom 4.4.4 based on CM11.0, ROM for the Sony Xperia Z2
The phone was okay up until this point, however I wasn't happy with the ROM so I tried to reboot into recovery mode to wipe and install Carbon. This is when the trouble began.
Now it seems I can't do anything :/
Please help. This phone is literally 3 days and it looks like I've completely screwed it >.<
Thanks!

You're on the wrong forum mate, for the z2 go here:

Please don't try to flash any .ftf file you downloaded from the xperia z forum, as this would hard brick your phone. Search for it in the link I posted.
Good luck
