Hi, i've just bricked my x10 mini (wanted to edit framework-res.apk and did something wrong)
I still can see it under adb, but if i try to enter su mode to recover old file, i'm getting errors stopped(signa), segmentation fault.
If i try to recover it via seus, i can't connect the phone, coz i need to have "back" button pressed when connecting usb, but i can't turn device off. Only restart with "home" plus "power" buttons...
What am i to do?
[SOLVED]
I've managed to recover it via PC - Companion. When it says, that you have to power off the phone, then hold "back" button and connect usb, you have to hold both the "back" and "home" buttons, then press the "power" button and in the momen, when screen goes black, immediatley connect usb. Then slide your finger to hold only the "back" button.

I hit power off and connected the usb and slid my hand to the back button but still got same download error... any siggestions would be greatly appreciated...rooted u20i 1.1.a.0.12 software i have got
You can use UpdateService : sonyericsson.com/cws/support/phones/topic/updateserviceapplication, is better than PCCompanion.
Make sure u turn off firewall before dwnlding update.

i dunno what 2 do !! =S my phone is bricked already ... and stuck @ Sony ericsson logo .. the 1st one .. when i press on the power button .. the LED the red one goes up 3 times .. am confused what 2 do =S ...
am i the only one who has done everything i could find in this forum and yet can't fix my phone?
I've tried to access xrecovery --> not possible
I've tried re-flashin with x10flash tools --> no can do without the usb debugging activated
I've tried using SEUS --> Only gives me a screen saying my phone is up-to-date but won't let me reinstall it
I can go on flash mode but it's just uselesss since no program can do anything.
App2sd / adb shell/ wi-fi problem
I've rooted my phone and also did the process of put the adb archive in the C:\ to execute by the cmd the program to set up the phone for app2sd.
The problem is: after this i doesn't have the root permissions to change the name of things in the root of the memory, neither access to wi-fi... i tried to undo the app2sd process unninstalling it, but there always a problem to access this file:
/system/bin/sh
Could someone please help me?
Thanks by now.
How i did it
Thank you!
I had big problems with this at first, but then i realised that i had to plug in usb right after i pressed the power button and also right before the vibration. This is in about 2 seconds so i plugged the usb half way at first so that i could insert it the whole way fast, before the vibration.
It's working but after many tries
Thanks again!
Hello everyone, i'm sorry for my bad English, I accidentally moved the "app" folder from the system to the sd card using root explorer, and I have lost almost all applications (market, root explorer, astro, ecc...), then I try to resolve this problem doing a hard reset , but now the phone goes on and after about 1 minutes goes off again again and again, and I can not stop it. also does not connect to pc .. anyone knows a way to fix it? I think I'll take it in assistance, the phone is still under warranty but it was rooted
Thank you guys

had the same issue of not being able to connect my phone to pc to repair with seus. thanks loads the "press both midle and right button at the same time and press the power button" trick!!!
I tried your solution but seus just tell me my mini it's up-to-date and there's no more the button for installing anyway android.
The phone just reboots over and over
I seem to have a slightly different problem. I tried the process and right after it said that the phone is connected, the green light on the phone goes out and it looses connection to the phone and prompts me to reconnect. My phone is stuck on the sony ericsson logo, will not shut off and will not boot, can not be detected by the computer. I think I have little more than a very expensive hockey puck.

I have the same problem SEUS says my phone is "up-to-date" what can we do?
Hey yhis helped me too thanks !
something similiar too...
Hi,
Here is my problem.
I have Xperia x10 mini/ yesterday , but mistake, I installed the firmware of the X10 mini PRO !!!
Now, once I understood the mistake, I want to flash with x10 mini firmware.
In order to flash I need to have FLASHTOOLS and need to press the BACK button - the problem is that since the phone is using now the wrong firmware, the BACK button (needed for the flushing ) doesn’t do anything and thus, I cannot install the correct firmware. I tried pushing all other buttons without any luck.
Any idea how I can overcome this problem ? I can’t use my phone now.

The flashmode is initialized before any firmware is loaded, so that isn't your problem
It should always work when your phone is turned off, you press the back-button and attach it to your usb-cable, it should enter flashmode.
If you can't turn it off, connect your phone to your pc, press home and power together till the screen goes black, and then press the back-button.
Well,
I managed to turn the phone off ( using the home+power button), then release the two of them, pressing the BACK button and connecting the USB cable .
nothing hapenns till i release the BACK button and then the phone starts to load with the previous problem.
before installing the the wrong firmware, using the BACK button was OK.
any idea?
update
I managed to hold together the HOME+BACK button and then pushed the POWER button and flashed the E10i 2.1.1 A.0.6 firmware!!!!
while doing it, i noticed for a meesage that the phone is not rooted.
upon finishing the flashing, the phone doesnt boot up, i managed to see the green light and thats all.
i also downloaded the S1 tool in order to root the phone but it says that it can not detect the phone....
what should i do now?

update #2
phone doesnt boot up.
when i connect the flashtool i get the message "Device connected in flash mode".
how to continue from that point ?
I have just upgraded my hero from official 2.1 to froydvillain 1.7.0,
I used ROM Manager to finish this upgrade. Everything gets fine.
And now, I decide to update to 1.7.1 and 1.7.2.
The problem I am now facing is...
when I click "Reboot into Recovery"...
my phone will not reboot into Recovery anymore, but only stop at a screen with the word HERO...
Anyone could help? I successfully enter Recovery Mode when my first time of upgrade. I dont know why I cant this time. So I cant do any upgrade or flash another rom. Please help. Many thanks.
I think there are two other ways to enter in recovery mode.
1. Press and keep pressed HOME button while powering the phone on.
2. Enter in HBOOT (press and keep pressed vol down button while powering the phone on) and select Recovery option.
I hope this helps you.

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried these 2 methods but cant help.
(1) is what i did before and sucessfully flashed a customised rom for the first time. but after that, i did the same but cant enter recovery mode. its so strange. just stop on a screen in black background with HERO logo.
(2) I tired this too. I saw a white background with green text. But i cant find Recovery option.
Any other suggestions? Many thanks.
Problem solved.

Not sure tho.. Connect your phone to pc.. Then give adb reboot command ( considering you know what ia adb ) your phone will reboot ( as u mini.,i guess u cannot pull out ur phone battery )
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
no i can't pull the battery out, or i would of already >.<;
and i can't give it adb commands because during the bootup screen the adb function is not enabled yet otherwise i could use the flashtool to do it =/
Listen tu me...

These two buttons are pressed and keeps... pres the thanks button if i helped you... I had the same problem... I solve it so I put cell phone in flash mode with two buttons that I have mentioned...
i took the phone a part slightly so i was able to access the battery to disconnect it
and i tried to boot the phone into recovery or flashboot and i wasn't able to

Hello Guys,
I am facing an uncommon issue.. Yesterday i was using my phone normally and suddenly it started to bootlooping. I thought it is a normal boot loop so tried to enter into recovery mod but no luck.:crying::crying::crying:
Then i tried To start odin to flash stock ROM. but after i enter into download mode it asks do you want to continue... Nothing happens when i press up volume key and after few moments phone reboots. At first I thought it was a Volume key issue. But even if i keep it on the confirmation window the phone reboot in sometime..
One more thing when i kept phone for charging it shows charging icon for some time and then it shuts down and shows charging icon again..
If anyone have any solution please help..
Thanks
Sounds like the power button is shorted out, warranty repair required.
What rom are you on? More details needed..
