if you have the white se logo and cant boot into xrec there is another way to get into xrec and restore backups rather than a SEUS
1) connect your phone to a charger and wait till it goes onto battery icon
2)then hold the power button for a moment till it vibrates
3)do whatever you need to do in xrecovery
if this helped you dont be afraid to thank me
Mods: if this method has allready been posted please delete this thread

Hi there...
With Sony Update Service i have unbricked my Phone *happy* ;-)
THX for your HELP!!!!
I just realised why this may not be working for some people
If you have a rom without offline charging then this will be impossible to do this requires a rom which supports offline charging

sorry to be noob,but what is offline charging?how do we know we have offline charging?
On some roms when the phone is off and you plug it in iw will start on others it will display the battery chargeing image
This doesnt work on slades minicm hybrid as he has changed it to boot to os not xrecovery it still works on his gingerbread though

when you see the sony ericsson boot up enter xrec and reinstall... if can't connect your phone to pc and reflash using SEUS or SE PC companion...
Well, this is the mini forum, not the mini pro. So if you took a rom from this section it's probably not compatible with your phone.
Also, use the search function. It's there for a reason.
Lots of people have problems with bootloops, just browse the forum for a while and you will most likely find detailed help for your problem.
boot in xrecovery go to advanced options -> wipe dalvik cache
1. Replace your battery or press both power button and home button
2. switch on phone
3. if see SE logo, press back button 1000x until xrecovery window show up
4. restore your back up or try factory reset
5. reboot
if cant boot to xrecovery then your phone is totally brick...
repair it using SEUS... and start all over again
Yeah, here's the Mini Forum, not Mini *PRO*.
Use the ROMs from here
Repair a phone isn't a hard thing. If you've made a backup before install the rom just restore. You can use SEUS (aka Sony Ericsson Update Service) to restore the phone. Try to reinstall the ROM. Make sure you followed all the steps during the ROM instalation.
Sorry for bad english.

No problem, it's normal for first time. Just pay more attention next time. What did you do to fix?
folks! I bricked my phone while updating it from seus and reason was dat MY USB CABLE WAS LOOSE AND MY PHONE GOT DISCONNECTED nw on restart it shows sony ericcson logo just for a second and den shows a pic where a triange(and inside it an exclamation mark is shown) is placed over a phone's picture.
I've tried seus and flashtool and both detect my phone as long as that sony ericson logo is shown and dats just for a second.
I was using cwm recovery and had made a backup of the custom rom. And nw i cant acces my cwm coz the se logo flashes so shortly dat i am nt able to open cwm.
NEED HELP GUYS!!!
Also i want to know dat can the sony ericsson service center help me..by software installation or by changing the hardware which stores the flash memory. Plz help me i'm nt ready to throw this phone away.
Thanks.

Thanks buddy.. But Flash tool does not detect my device. I've installed gordons gate.. But still.. I think Flash tool does not get enough time to detect my phone. I hear a usb connection sound and SE logo flashes for less then a second and i hear a usb disconnection sound den the ! is seen and den phone shuts down.

Don't give up yet. I know this problem. Uninstall Gordon's Gate. Install Sony Ericsson PC Companion (again if installed) and try using FlashTool again. This error on your phone means that the files are corrupted, maybe because a flash you tried was interuppeted unexpectedly. Your phone is not dead yet (probably your USB port has some problems and caused all this), it must be restorable.
Try and tell me if it worked.

No dont throw it just yet, I had almost the same. Ut unsure what caused it,it was 1st time flashing it, but spent 24hrs looking though solutions but it worked, similar to what lea sez...a new dl of sony comp and re-updated it using there latest u.d. Then used flashtool and reinstalled xrecovery with it as it stopped letting me open it..took a few trys but ws ok once sony companion recd my phone an reinstalled xrec.the update in sony comp I think wasnt in clear view its in the support stn..went back to stock 2.1.

Didnt worked man... So i had to choose the last option left ... the se service guyz... nw it back on the track.
Friends a few days ago i bricked my xperia mini while updating from SEUS. D cable went loose in the middle of the updation and SEUS showed an error. I restarted the phone and saw the SE logo blink just for half a sec and den the phone showed an exclamation mark inside a triangle, and finally went off. On rebooting same thing happened.
1. I tried SEUS, and it didnt recognized my device. Hence no gains.
2. I tried Flashtool and dat too didnt worked(pressing d back key and plugging usb).
Both these tools didnt detected my device... So i was forced to pay sony ericsson for a fresh update of my phone.
I was thinking is their another tool (dat SE service guyz use) or some other tool dat does not require the 'phone's back key and then usb' procedure.
Cox i wanna experiment with awesome Roms out there but dont want to pay SE a buck more.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm quite sure that if SEUS doesn't recognize your phone he asks you what device you have connected to the pc if you attempt to upgrade the firmware...

It just lets you continue to the installtion. It pop-ups the window of instructions needed to flash (if you press 'update phone')

and didn't it repair you phone?
SEUS, if it does not detect your device, asks which device you have installed. Once you select your device, it retrieves the necessary software and repairs your device. I used SEUS, right at the start of my Love Affair with Owains ROM, on Win7 running on Parallels on a Macbook Pro 15" Core2Duo... and it worked fine.

Hey, 'm facing the same issue
Recently i upgraded my Xperia to "ThGo2 v16.0" from custom rom..
After some time the rom got unstable and restarted the phone, however it wouldn't boot up. Now i have completely black screen, all the time, with few red blinks
(I have tried all the solutions here:
1. SEUS : Says ur phone is already update and show Xperia arc in backgroud. No update available
2. PC companion: Tried all the tricks to start w/o connecting n all still the phone is not detected.
3. Flashtool, tried flashing it with 0.6.8 and 0.2.9.1
4. I have also used other tools like superclick, root / unroot and S1 tool (no of them worked)
Now, nothing is working with few red blinks and gree light..
Please help, my phone is converted into a black paper weight now....

FIX!
I had the same issue when I was experimenting with ROMs and Recoverys, but not to worry, Sony PC Companion 2.1 does the trick!
Download PC Companion 2.1 from the Sony Mobile website
1. When you download and open it, click start under Support Zone
2. Click start under Phone Software Update
3. When the window saying that a phone could not be found appears, click repair phone
4. A windows like this will appear, click continue to proceed with the repair of the firmware
NOTE: All data that is placed on the phone memory will be wiped but any data saved on the memory card will be spared
5. After clicking continue, a window like so will appear. Tick the box and click next to continue with repair!
6. Sony PC Companion 2.1 will now prepare the computer for the firmware update
7. Now choose your phone model, in this case it should be the Xperia X10 (X10). Select the phone and click Next!
8. Follow the prompts to repair your phone!
GOOD LUCK!!
Always fails for me.
All process end in fail
There must be a file I need to rename or something....
tried everything now...
I have tried everything by now, here i have attached a attachment of error i get while repairing my phone through SEUS..
only option is box flash, but i think its kind of risky...
Fail fail fail..... i'm getting hopeless wif my X10
Hey,
I did some re-search and got to know that somehow my X10 flashes as So-01C in some systems, i.e. xperia arc, even while updating ..........
Anyone here, knows other ways to flash through box other than technician, coz these technicians are real idiot they can crap your phone in 10 seconds, so its better to crap it yourself...
"alternative to box flash, please ???"
Try this
Had the same problem once, when my phone would not start at all, all I had to do was connect it to the PC Companion (2.0), at first it wouldn't repair but after a certain amount of tries it did the trick,
First: Make sure all your drivers are installed, if they were installed there should be no problem.
If they were not, the computer cannot identify your phone, try installing some other x10's drivers (cause your's is bricked I assume) that might do the trick aswell.
Open PC Companion > Support Zone > Phone Software Update (Start) > Follow Instructions > Repair
It might take several tries to get it right
If this doesn't work try the latest flashtool, it should do the trick !!
There must be something you are not doing right, else SEUS/Flashtool should have worked like a charm.
see i get this reply, when updating x10..
I have tried this like thousands of times, installing roms and then removing them and repairing the phone, but this time it has gone over my head........
