mate use X10Flasher to reflash phone.
It has to be all very good syncronized but after reboot press back button to enter in download mode...
My phone is neither included nor excluded, how to flash.
@valeri77:
try to flash your phone with 1.6 firmware.
Try to do a classical update with SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service).
I hope you got a backup of all your personnal data .
try keeping your battery off and use SEUS or pccompanion to "repair" the phone.. maybe something were wrong while updating last time..
let us know!
If you have problem with x10 mini(Pro don't need this, since it have removable batt). that SEUS cannot detect your phone, even after restarting and replugging and restarting and replugging again.
Try this step:
1. connect your phone
2. Start SEUS. standard process etc.
3. if it ask you to disconnect the phone and reconnect, don't
4. instead, press powerbutton+middle+right button.
5. when your phone goes blank, release the power and middle button but keep pressing the right button until it was detected.
6. from there you could do a normal firmware update.

hi can someone please help i tried to flash my xperia x10 mini and failed badly and now when i turn on my phone the logo screen comes up and then just stays on... ive left it for about 20 minutes but still nothing its like its bricked on the logo screen i can restart it but it just does the same again. Ive also tried taking the battery out putting it back in then using the update service to lock it in flash mode while i use binarys flash kit but that doesnt work either. Also the update service just says no software update is available it thinks i already have the latest one please help i will be truely greatful x
Edit :
Ive already tried SEUS, PC Companion, Binary's Flash Kit.
Ive already tried connecting it to the adb but cant get adb to recognise a connected device and all the drivers are installed.
i guess you have, but i've to ask, have you tried the repair option in SEUS/PC Companion?
yeh i have seus says i already have the latest software version installed and pc companion actually wants me to load my phone up to connect it :/ any ideas? x
me too!!
i had the same problem with you...
how to get shutdown this phone?
phone must be shutdown when i want to flashing from SEUS..
and i don't know how to shutdown this phone because the battery....
edit : just connect your phone and use restart (hold power button & middle button)
after reboot, press back button and you will connect with SEUS...
but, my phone already get latest update...and i can't flashing from SEUS...
sob..
ive been shutting down the phone by taking the back off and unscrewing the inside cover. Then you will see the battery cable where you can simply unplug it from the motherboard and then reinsert it.
Edit: I also have connected to SEUS but it says i already have the latest software
Ive taken it to a local phone repairs shop ive given up... they said it'll be fresh and working by tomorrow morning it cost me £20 but its just one of those things en it :/
hey guys
all you need is to follow the instructions on SEUS,
when it tells you that you have the latest software press repair.
and when it say that you should turn off your phone and then reconnect it while pressing the back buttom do the following:
1- connenct the phone to the computer
2- press the 3 buttoms (power + mid buttom + back buttom) then as your phone restarts and vibrate remove your fingers from the power and mid buttoms but maintain pressing on the vack buttom
i hope this will help
Hi all. I have multiple problems in my x10i.it has 2.1 It was rooted and worked fine..few days ago I tried to wipe the phone and did the master reset via xrecovery ..after the restart it just hanged at the boot logo and xrecovery is not working from then....I wanted to update with SEUS via USB... but the phone is not connecting as well...What should I do? PLZ HELP ME GUYZ........
Hi,
Seus doesn't recognize your x10 even if you hold back button while plugging usb (flash mode) ?
This week my x10 2.1 crashed (I suppose it was because of rooting with superoneclick without rebooting immediatly), and wasn't recognized by windows. It was in a loop turnig on/off and only putting off battery could turn it off really. Big Problem.
The only solution I found : putting off battery, pluggin usb cable, holding back button and putting on battery. Back button still hold (like flash mode) until seus recognize x10. Then it runs alone and install rom (after I rooted with flashtools and launched jit optimisation, witch increase truely x10 performances!).
Probably seus not recognize your phone because you have a rooted and custom firmware in your x10 and xrecovery is not working because you did a reset and then you delete some files from your phone, you can reinstall it with the x10flashtool or to make a complete restore firmware whit the same x10flashtool
If SEUS/PCC doesn`t recognize your phone, remove them from PC and reinstall them.
You have an USB driver problem

Did you wait for at least 30 seconds before putting battery inside phone (to make sure clearing all memories? And sure you hold back button before, during and after?
Otherwise, what does happen if you press and hold volume button before turning on the phone (and keep volume button hold)?

Well your usb is definitly working then as its glowin green?..
Are you sure you are doing it all right? It happened the same to me, and it ended I was pressing the wrong buttom (I knew which one was the correct one, but was blind cause I was scared that Ive broke it totally), a day later I noticed it and I was able to flash my phone.
However, read a guide and follow it step by step, reinstall everything and start from beginning maybe?
Or use the repair function with PC Companion
Hi! I had the same problem!
1. Search and download from this forum Flashtool 0.2.6
2. Install it.
3. Download from this forum one generic ROM (for exemple X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897 )
4. Put the file in directory Flashtool/firmware
5. Launch X10flashtool.exe
6. DO NOT PUT THE USB CABLE IN THE PHONE
7.From option "flash select the desired ROM
8. Wait the program to begin(a picture will appear)
9. Pressing the back button, insert the usb cable.
10. Wait the flashing to begin and release the back button.
Follow instructions and WAIT around 5 minutes until flashing will complete
11. Send me two words if it helps you! Success!

I've did everything as u told.....no luck ! guess its the time to go to repair center...btw a guy from help center told me about software tampered,,!!out of luck
Mixing several ROMs with a 99% success, I realized that the menu of my x10 Mini reboot E10i (2.1.1.A.0.6) fails. Since I give off and reset very fast ace like if I give the reboot, reboot both accentuated fast and what I would like to both questions is to turn off or cancel the shutdown, the shutdown was switched off and was reboot reboot. If someone can drop files and if they are better XRecovery. Thanks a greeting.
IMPORTANT THAT THE FILES ARE COMPATIBLE TO (2.1.1.A.0.6)
Have you tried a repair with SEUS? I don't know if you already know how to do this, but just in case...:
1. Open Sony Ericsson Update Service, click update/REPAIR PHONE
2. Turn off phone (or if already dead), hold the back button while
connecting USB to PC. Wait for GREEN LED on phone, if this doesn't
happen, disconnect, hold back button, connect, AND press middle (menu)
button and power button, while still holding the back button. This should
work even in the worst circumstances...
3. When you eventually get green led, let SEUS take over...
Repeat step 2 a few times if you don't get it at first. It has saved MANY of
us here...........
SE Xperia X10 Mini, Rooted, XRecovery loaded, Andread 2.2.1.
Now won’t boot properly. Can sometimes get past the swipe unlock screen to be confronted by:
“The application Home (process com.sonyericsson.home) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close”
And
“The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close”
Is there anyway to do a proper hardware only hard reset on the mini as obviously can't select anything from the menu ?
All the information I’ve found so far just uses the Power and Home buttons to switch it off/on. No help.
SE PC companion won’t link to upgrade as I can’t press any buttons on the mini.
I don’t hold out much hope for the FlashTool if it also requires buttons to be pressed on the device.
On most other devices you can at least remove the battery but not with this.
Just so we are clear, there is no way to brick an x10 mini. now flashtool will always work unless there is a physical defect with the phone...in which case your done. basically download flashtool (use search function) and read instructions for it(use search function). it only requires you to turn off your phone and hold back as you plug it in so there is almost no way for a device not to be able to do this.
I followed the FlashTool instructions, held down the back button but no joy. No green LED on device, no recognition on FlashTool.
I don't think the mini is turning off properly.
The only way I can turn it off is to hold the home and power buttons for 3-4 sec, but usually it restarts immediatly.
Is there another way to properly switch off/on?

take a good look, the green LED should flash atleast ONCE....i had the problem when i was new to rooting and installing ROMS.....do this...
1. make your deskie/lappy fully prepared to flash your phone by SEUS, only requiring you to connect the phone in flash mode (even keep your USB to phone cord inserted to the computer)
2. power off the phone by holding the home+power key (& keep holding them, now press the back button).
3.release the power key but KEEP HOLDING THE HOME KEY and the back key...(if you release the home key, the cell will restart).
4. now connect the phone to the computer and hopefully it will connect in flash mode
hope this helps in solving your problem
if i helped you, kindly press the "THANKS" button
In my case, I found that keeping the usb cable plugged into the phone was a problem. So I kept the usb cable plugged into the pc but uplugged from the phone end till flashtool asked me to start the phone in flash mode. Another problem I had was of the drivers when the phone started in flash mode even though I had PCCompanion installed. I had to install the flash mode drivers from the ggsetup-2.2.0.10.exe file which was in the drivers folder under the FlashTool install folder.
Use SEUS! Its better!
Solved! Now working back in SE Android 2.1 state. Rooting, new ROM etc tomorrow.
I found a reference online that described a small rubber panel to the left of the camera lens that gives access to the battery connector and allowed me to disconnect that battery. I could then keep it switched off until ready for the power/back button/connect USB juggling act that the SE Update Service application required in order to reload Android 2.1.
Thanks for all the replies and suggestions.

1.Plug your phone to computer, to charge it.
2.When you'll think that your battery is more than 50%, unplug phone from pc. If your phone will be stuck at SE logo(or smth like that), hold "power"+"home" button until you see black screen. Than immediately press and hold "back" button, while plugging it to the pc(or mac). If you see green flashlight and black screen-->congrats, your phone is almost restored. If your phone will have black screen, just hold back button, while plugging it to the pc. Try this 3-4 times, before you'll green flash light and black screen.
3.Restore it using seus, or with Sony Ericsson Pc Companion.
P.S.GingerDX v021b requires unlocked bootloader, and flashed nAa kernel. And if you'll face some problems, pm me

I have the same situation as Eljuan28. I was sort of assuming that the Ginger installer would take care of more than it did. :-(
Reset from a "Sony Ericsson" screen via power + home was in general good information.
It took quite a few tries before I got the green light - you REALLY need to be fast or I'm simply not doing it right. I made is a few times but then it was split second, and afterwards I wasn't sure if I let of of the power toggle and home before pressing the back. Edit: messed with it several additional time, and one trick was to actually have the USB cable in when doing the reset. Got to green right away then.
Some additional questions:
PC Companion says that an X10 Mini is attached. I select repair, acknowledges that all my personal data will be deleted and it progresses for some time. Suddenly, the repair option on the PC Companion aborts with a message that Sony Ericsson upgrade servers are overloaded ... Phone screen is back with Sony Ericsson logo/text, the green light is off.
Tried with SEUS, which stated I was already with the most recent version but allowed me to proceed and go on anyway. I am not allowed to link properly to SEUS as I don't have the sufficient number of posts but a working URL to SEUK is "seuk dot tk" (on ot the XDA members own the domain and post it there).
PS: Wrong thread, but a working GingerDX 017 couldn't just be updated?
BacchusFLT,
You can update from gingerDX 017 up to 021b, if you installed (V017) the nAa kernel version. Just flash kernel and flash new gingerDX 021b. If you have stock kernel's version--> you have to flash kernel, flash gingerDX 021b and full wipe/factory reset.
Sony Ericsson's servers can be overloaded like every other server. To solve this problem, it is necessary to wait some time and try again. Optional you can use SEUS. The screen must be black, while restoring your x10 mini/pro, so if you have Sony Ericsson's logo appeared->it is impossible to restore it. To get correctly to restore mode, you must have switched off phone(watch picture)
Hope it helps.

Dear Mrakoris,
Many thanks for the patience.
First: SEUS did the trick for me. I tried multiple times with some time in between but the Companion complained about overload all the time. SEUS downloaded fine, and I cann't understand why that would work if Companion didn't - the only load on servers would be to fetch the files, and SEUS could fetch it with no problems.
Second: So, reset with the USB cable in and pressing back did work for me, and letting SEUS force install on top of the current installation. Now I am back with vanilla 2.1.1A.0.6, Kernal 2.6.29.
Again, many thanks!
I had this problem long time ago, but it happened because I tried to flash the rom even knowing my baseband was different, so my phone stuck on SE logo and restart in an infinite loop..
Luckly I had Xrecovery installed, so I mounted de SD card, and I can explain how, pc companion recognized the phone and I could restore it to the original rom.
So is a little complicated if u dont have xrecovery or CWM I think...
