For future reference: You dont need to have your phone "on" to use the flash tool, it just has to be in the update mode. (Hold back button while plugging into the usb). This is for if you ever brick it again

Hello dear xda users.
Today since 1-2 hours ago something terrible happened. My X10i .. keeps rebooting at the "Sony Ericsson" startup.
History:
I updated to 2.2 Beta 4, but I forgot to update the kernel so the phone kept rebooting, but not at startup, only after a couple of minutes.
I flashed to the required kernel, but decided to go back to Beta 3 instead, and the same problem occured here too, also that the wifi and mobile network were out of function.
And I remembered that I had made an backup of my original version with xRecovery, so I restored the phone and tried to switch back to Beta 3 and this is when the **** happened..
Am I screwed?
Stuffs Ive tried:
* Flash the version back (cannot enter flash mode anymore) = fail
* Tried to make a factory reset through PC Companion (cannot enter flash mode) = fail
I need help guys, this phone is only 2 weeks old. I just want to cry, dunno what to do
Bump! No one?
Also tried to pull out battery while the phone connected with usb, pressing back key and inserting key.
I have a thought, maybe its that my phone isnt being recognized by the computer due to problem with USB drivers. Does any1 know how I can manually install it?

Please flash ypur phone with SEUS or PCC or even better with THIS tool.
If you need help with flashtool go HERE
On Flashtool thread download you FW (X10i Generic)
Using Flashtool you were able (after flash) to root, install latest xRecovery, etc.
Hope it helps

restore your phone via SEUS from pc companion it will revert your kernel to stock and install the stock rom
Don't worry, I did the same thing the first time I tried to install Zombie Panic. Download the Sony Ercisson Update Service from here, insatll it on your PC and follow the instructions to install (even if it says you have the latest version). It'll take you back to Stock ROM and your phone will boot.
but.. PC Companion can find my phone but it wants to connect it in Android (and i cant go to android) so... :/

you should start the update process while the phone is disconnected and press repair then when asked connect the phone while you are pressing the back key to connect via flash mode.
Wait.. but i choose the reprair phone option and now it trying to reprair it, i just believe, at this will save my phone
and i just stuck connecting... i cant go to flash mode, i dont know why... i have idea: Take the battery off and turn phone again... but how to do this? :/

Prepare SEUS on repair mode, until message to connect phone.
Press and hold power button, then press home button (don't release power button) and wait phone off. press and hold back button then connect the usb cable.
thank you!!!!you saved my phone~! Now can install mCM7.... thank you!!!
I was tryin to install MiniCM7 and during my noobish attempt I pretty much deleted everything on my phone. Factory reset and such. And I attempted to fix by rebooting the phone but now all I get is the Sony Ericsson Logo and when I try to turn the damned thing off it turns back on. I tried SEUS but even after quickly hitting back and plugin the usb cable after Home+Back+Power no dice. Can anybody out there help this desperate noob soul :c
Cant you pull out the battery connector underneath the rubber bit next to the camera to turn it off??

Battery Disconnected What now?
I tried to flash nAa kernel(unlocked bootloader successfully before) with flashtool and flastool said it succeed. When i reboot my phone it comes up with nAa kernel screen and reboots again. It goes into an infinite loop within rebooting phone, only showing nAa kernel splash screen, nothing more and reboot. I can reach to cwm recovery. I flashed the latest MiniCM7-2.2.0 custom rom and wiped user data/cache. Same problem remained.
I decided to go back the original stock kernel and rom via flashtool. You know the rest; you select the stock files then press ok then it says "oh, ungplug usb, power off, hold back button and plug in usb again". I did this steps several times but flashtool cant recognize my phone. Not even a blink. The weird thing is, when i power off my phone and plugin usb(not doing the holding back button thing) the green light is on(it is not offline charging i know it) same as it goes into flashmode. I tried flashtool again with hope but couldnt recognized phone again. Even S1 tool cant recognize my phone. It seems completly lost!
I tried hopelessly with Pc Companion and get the same result. I found a post about "Gordons Gate Driver" but couldnt get any result with that. No tool can recognize my phone in flashmode, in normal mode(talking about the infinite rebooting state, not even a blink from flashtool).
Im out of ideas, even out of google . Is there someone to provide me with new idea? Or is there something im missing? Please help.
Thank you for reading my adventure hope someone helps.

You did not mention the model of your phone.
Always mention the model when posting.
In 2011 devices:
Press Volume DOWN key for flashmode(for flashing firmware via flashtool)
Press Volume UP key for fastboot mode(for flashing kernel)

Ok, thanks for the info. I will be carefull about that.
Hi,
I would like to ask you for advice before throwing my X10 mini away and buying something else.
I have had MiniCM7 installed for a very long time (more than a year), and upgraded to all versions without any problem. Today I installed MiniCM9 3.0.2, but I decided to reinstall MiniCM7 because of some problems detected with this version, so I went to SEUS, downgraded to 2.1.1.A.0.6, installed BusyBox, xMiniRecovery, root and flashed MiniCM7 2.2.0 and gapps. I have done it quite a lot of times before.
But, when I tried to reboot onto MiniCM7 2.2.0, my phone was stuck onto Sony Ericsson logo. Here's what I did:
1) Ok, Home+Power and reenter into recovery by pressing back key. No, no luck, it doesn't enter into any recovery.
2) B plan, I'll go to SEUS again. Home+Power, connect USB and keep back key pressed. Nothing, SEUS doesn't recognize anything, but Companion does activate a little popup on my Windows, as if it detects my phone plugged into my computer. No red, yellow, or green lights in the phone.
3) C plan. Flash kernel directly. I downloaded kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17674938#post17674938 and used FlashTool. But, again, when I press Home+Power, connect the USB cable and press back key, it doesn't recognize anything, FlashTool is waiting for me to connect something. Antivirus is disabled.
If I keep back key pressed, no SE logo appears; black screen. If I release back key for a little while, SE logo appears and it gets stuck.
Both if I connect it to the computer or to the power socket, no green/yellow/red led appears.
Does anybody have any idea? Everything (cable and phone) were working wonderfully before flashing 2.1.1.A.0.6 for the last time.
Kind regards,
Jordi
Ok,before u try this u should know it will delete everything of phone memory:apps,contacts,etc.
And it removes root and recovery and phone will be like the day u bought it except that bootloader is not touched if unlocked stays unlocked
TRY AT UR OWN RISK
Steps:
1-download sony erricsson pc companion
2-click support zone and choose software update
3-before clicking continue click on repair phone
4-wait till loads and choose phone type
5-concentrate on this one cuz it has 2 methods
5a:if ur phone doesent restart automaticlly just plug usb in computer first then with phone powered off hold the back button and connect the usb cable only let hold when it says u can
5b:if ur phone DOES restart automaticlly remove battery till u reach this step and put back cover bedside till ur done with this method what were gonna do is when we reach this step we quickly plug battery and before it restarts just hold back and insert usb cable.
6-wait to install
7-congratulations unbricking
8-(optional):click the thanks button :xD

Hi,
Thank you very much for your quick answer. I had never realized the procedure shown in steps 2-4.
But Companion refuses to install it! "It's impossible to install or setup update components of phone sotfware" grrrrrrrrrrrrr Tomorrow I'll try to get another computer and follow your procedure.
Thank you very much
Always happy to help as ive been in such issues alot

You say you have an X10 Mini, and not an X1O Mini-Pro.
The X10 Mini requires you to run the nAa-kernel in order to run the latest verstion of MiniCM7.
You say you downgraded back to stock firmware and installed MiniCM7 again, did you forget about the kernel?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhh you are right!!!!!!! I have installed kernels and versions a lot of times on my device, and I was so confident of myself that this time I didn't realize I was missing one of the most important steps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So stupid of me.......!!!!!!!
I've tried PC Companion as suggested before, but no way: it doesn't detect the "flash mode" at boot time. I keep pressing Back key and I only get a black screen; when I release Back key, SE logo appears and gets stuck forever. It doesn't matter if I try SEUS, PCCompanion or FlashTool, it's always the same. I can't shut it down, just restart over and over again via Home+Power.
Does anybody know what can I do?
Kind regards,
Jordi

I do not know what did I do, but by trying for the 1000th time to do the Home+Power+Back key combination with USB connected and keeping Back key pressed, and pressing and releasing it madly afterwards, while FlashTool was waiting for me to flash MiniCM7, FlashTool has reacted!!!!!! It allowed me to install MiniCM7 again!!!
What happened? I do not know, perhaps I pressed Back key just the microsecond that the hardware needed it.
Thank you very much!!!!
hahaha, cool And here i was thinking you were trying to flash the kernel, lol
But good luck
