Hi. I tried to use the search engine but I couldn't find anything.
when I got my xperia x10 mini (e10a) it was on 1.6 version then when I upgraded it went straight to 2.1.1.a.0.6 I wonder if is there some way to downgrade it to 2.0.a.0.24 because we can't find as much stuff (like themes) for the 2.1 like we find for 2.0.
Thank You so much
the Cyanogen rom works well with the latest fw 2.1.1.a.0.6... for me ofcoz.
if that what bothers you, here take a look at here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895947

Just an addition before New Year's Day.
Since the last firmware, is not yet been rooted, i followed zdzihu's method and made a rooted firmware with xrecovery already installed.
In order to install this firmware, you need to install xrecovery first.
Also if you have already flashed with 2.0.2.A.0.24 through SEUS, please downgrade!
Requirements:
DOWNLOAD>>X10 mini flasher
DOWNLOAD>>2.0.2.A.0.24PACK.tar.bz2
You will also need an X10 mini rooted with xrecovery installed
Instructions:
1. Download and unpack 2.0.2.A.0.24PACK.tar.bz2. It contains 2 files: update.zip and 2.0.2.A.0.24FlasherFiles folder
2. Copy update.zip to SD Card
3. Copy 2.0.2.A.0.24FlasherFiles folder inside the flasher's folder.
4. Boot into xRecovery and install update.zip
5. Open flasher and press "Flash" tab
6. Choose "2.0.2.A.0.24FlasherFiles" and flasher will show "Searching for Xperia..."
7. Plug the phone on usb
8. Choose "Reboot" option on recovery and right after the screen goes blank, keep the "back" button pressed until the green light is on.
If you don't succeed at first, press home and on/off button while connected on usb and simultaneusly "back" button.
Make sure you understand the installation process before you try!
EDIT
If by any chance you have installed a new theme and you want to go back to the stock one,
DOWNLOAD STOCK THEME, and flash it through recovery
All credits go to:
zdzihu, for xrecovery and for all this actually, as i followed his method.
Bin4ry for the flasher, saved my @ss from many many bricks.
aZuZu for his SIN2IMG tool. Works great!
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY, IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
USING THIS METHOD AND FILES, IS DONE BY YOUR OWN CHOICE.
Happy New Year, everyone!

Hey bro,
No you shouldnt be in xrec. Just in flash mode (just like if you use SEUS - if you've used it). Once you get to the step where it says "Searching for Xperia..." turn off your device unplug usb cord hold the back button and insert usb cable. The little led should show up solid green to let you know your in flash mode.
Cheers,
evilbarcode.

As evilbarcode said, you wouldn't need to be in xrecovery mode. And follow the instructions step by step. And it should work just fine.

Hey bro,
The flash-tool itself is for all sony xperia models (x10a/i(big x10) - u20a/i(mini pro - e10a/i(mini)). The fw files you need will be the ones specific to your phone not the flash-tool itself. Understand?
Follow the instructions in this thread to get the fw files you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943645
If you need more help just ask.
Cheers,
evilbarcode.
Edit: And yes you can use SEUS to get phone back to how it was.
Thanks for all the help evilbarcode
but it doesn't show the searching for xperia...

Hey bro,
Your welcome. Glad you got that last part sorted. What this means is that to use flashtool you need unknown sources enabled (settings>applications>check "allow unknown sources") and debugging enabled (settings>applications>development>check "debugging")
Hope this helps, let me know.
Cheers,
evilbarcode.
just follow what evilbarcode posted and it should fix your problem.

This thread was created initially by me when flashtool appear on market
In the beginning of the week i was contacted by G-FACE to offer his help cause he had created a thread similar to this one on a site of his country. He offered himself to translate and i´ll put the translation here.
Well, that wasn´t exactly how i see things. He do the job. He must take the credit for it
So, the next posts and despite the fact it appears like it was written/created by me that´s WRONG! He did it after contact mods and give him access to do so.
SO. Thank you G-FACE and thank HIM not me

RECOGNIZING YOUR PHONE
Download the latest version of Flashtool from here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/ thanks to Androxyde & Bin4ry
Install Flashtool exe file and the update file if needed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The first and most important thing is to be sure that Flashtool recognizes your phone:
Start Flashtool
Connect the phone with the computer via USB cabel
Wait till flashtool shows that your device is recognized. You will see your phone model on "Connected device:"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you see in “Connected device” the name of your phone model you are good to go for next steps.
If your phone is not recognized by Flashtool that means you don’t have the required drivers installed.
Open folder /Flashtool/drivers and install ggsetup-2.2.0.11
If after the above Flashtool still doesn’t recognize your phone, do the following:
From Flashtool/drivers folder extract the zip file XXX_ADB_driver which corresponds to your phone model
Open “Device manager” on the computer and find the device which is with an exclamation mark on it (do this with connected to the computer phone)
Right click on the device and choose Uptade driver
Choose to find the driver manually and browse to the folder where you’ve extracted the zip file.
That should install the required drivers on your computer.

BOOTLOADER UNLOCKING [BL Unlock]
ATTENTION: Working only for x10, x8, x10 mini/pro

BUT, if it says "NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE", STOP RIGHT HERE
1. If your phone is sim-locked to an operator you can successfully unlock the bootloader
2. If your phone has been sim-unlocked when you bought it new from the store you can successfully unlock the bootloader
3. If your phone has been sim-unlocked via a CODE given you by your Operator you can successfully unlock the bootloader

Once again you didn't read. LOL
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
When you create the ftf file it seems to make no difference if the laoder.sin is included. The flash tool gets its own laoder sin. I've tried both include and not. Both ftf file flashed OK.
Why is loader.sin included in build of ftf?

Hi guys,
I have a big problem after i tried to install FreeX10 beta4..... my X10 have endless boot after I made steps from the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11074522&postcount=3946...... I was using FreeX10 beta3 with hotfix1 and xrecovery 0.2....... I've downloaded Flashtool 0.2.6 and X10a_2_1_A_0_435_GLOBAL from link http://www.multiupload.com/9H20YEXEHR...... the flash finished successfully, but when I rebooted appears for me SE logo and after one logo with a little phone and exclamation point and then reboot the phone.......i tried flash again and no success...... I also tried flash X10i 2.1.A.0.435 for FlashTool from link http://www.mediafire.com/?btd8fy2mqy9g8b6i and no success....... after also tried flash old 2.1 and the problem worsed ......the SE logo not appears anymore, only little phone with exclamation point icon ......... I'm here in my work now...... at the night i'll try diferent forms like SEUS and others......... anyone help me?
ps:.. my x10 normally enter into flash mode...and sorry for my english....not my native language.
Did you copy .tft file under firmwares folder before flashing the ROM? And am assuming you are using GUI version of the flash tool?
- Sent from my X10 using XDA App.
yes i did......and i tried with GUI version and also non-GUI......I think i lost the bootloader.......I'll try to recover with SEUS at night and i post the result.
I'll go crazy if i lost my phone......I'm worried because the SE does not appear more when i turn on my phone.

When it says that you still can download the latest version. It will overwrite the system again and than you have to start over from scratch.... It happens to me frequently :-(

use x10 flash unbricker. I used that when I had a problem with my firmware install and it worked. It will however bring it back to 1.6 but you can always update

any tutorial?
beta4 requires baseband 2.1.54 - if you don't have that, that's probably why you had issues...
Soft bricked my phone trying to flash 2.1.54 and update service did not work but pc companion fixed it so maybe try that.

Does SEUS show a repair option? Use if yes, if not try PC Companion.
Almost impossible to 'brick" a X10, until bootloader is cracked.
- Was using Free X10 Beta 4, Changed Brightness Settings, Phone crashes
- It will not turn on, but it does vibrate when holding the power on button
- The Phone is recognised by USB and comes up with the Green Light although
does not update in SEUS - "Product Cannot Be Identified" (I've deleted/replaced blob_fs, still same problem)
- Attempted to update firmware with PC Companion, Does not work, "Download Error"
- I've also attempted to installed a generic firmware through Flashtool, whilst it takes a very long time to flash it finishes although phone remains not working after.
What is wrong? I've simply changed brightness settings and it's crashed. Please help me get my phone working, I need it urgently.
This has happened once before although I've been able to reflash the firmware via SEUS although this time it isn't identifying my phone.
How was your battery level?
Ive never heard about this situation in particular but i believe if you search there are threads on unbricking an x10. Take a look around the forums and search unbrick x10 and see what you get.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Battery level was near 100%.
The Search seems to be down, could anyone link me to an unbricking tutorial on here?
Thanks.
Bump..
Unbricking method doesn't work (just flashing via Flashtool with generic firmware). On top of that it takes ages to flash via this method for some reason.
Anyone have any idea what the problem is?? The phone should be working fine, all I did was change the brightness setting and then it crashed.

it doesn't matter if U can access to flash mode. if u can, so before connect ur phone to computer, in SEUS Support zone =>start=>update software => start, then press blue letter "repair phone", wait until it ask for coonect phone in flash mode
Flash it with generic .sin files by flash tool......before that wipe total system.....
it should work....

I can't right now because I closed the Flash Tool although when it gets to flashing System it disconnects and the LED turns red, it then proceeds to saying everything has finished, disconnect phone and turn on.
Is your usb cable okay? maybe the problem is your usb cable. As of right now its IMPOSSIBLE to brick the X10 due to the bootloader not being cracked. The only problem can be your programs, cable, or maybe you dropped your X10 one to many times.
If you do get it sorted, you cant set brightness to auto, will cause a crash. This was highlighted in z's original freex10 thread.

It's not my programs, cables or computer as I've just flashed my friends X10 and it worked perfectly. I've never dropped my phone, It's done this after changing brightness setting on FreeX10 Beta 4.
It's also not the battery as I've tried using a friends battery and still the same problem.

Many Thanks For everyone
Hello, have you follow all instructions before installing Gingerbread? What is the version of gingerbread you have installed? You have before installing it unlock bootloader (you can't see Sony Ericsson Logo after unlocked bootloader), or, if you have downloaded a version wich goes with stock kernel, you haven't installed x-recovery first. Try to unlock your bootloader and read all instructions mentionned at the first page of the page you have donwloaded the rom.
Sorry for english.
Also to get back to 2.1 you must choose repair in SEUS or it won't do it

My suggestion is : flash stock rom with flashtool. You can find somewhere stock rom file around. That is what I do on x10mp when i was got freeze at SE logo.
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
or...did you try this mode?:
1-unplug USB, turn on Companion, select Support Zone, select start, select update software, select repair the phone, select E10i=X10 mini (or your device).
2-Plug USB your bricked phone, and press three buttons at once and hold it: Power+Home+Back, when you note a little vibration (the phone begin to restart), inmediatly release Power+Home buttons but let pressed Back button...
You see Companion will detect correctly your phone in flash mode and you back to stock firm+kernel.
...And a very good quide for root, unlock bootlader safely...etc is the Flastool guide :

I tried to flash latest rom from Asus website to my new Zenfone C because it had a weird issue, it came the user interface in taiwanesse, but when trying to change to english, it stayed in taiwanesse, so I wasnt able to setup it in first place.
Then, it came to my mind to flash the latest rom, and I used this guide in absence of a Zenfone C guide for flashing:
http://en.zenfoneasus.com/zenfone-recovering-returning-stock-rom-downgrade-clean-update-guide/
I did all the steps listed there first, and then tried the steps but with the red marked steps, flashing the dnx and ifwi also, no result.
The problem is that now im stuck in a bootloop, and cant advance from there, the Asus logo stays there forever.
What happened during flashing is this:
When I sideloaded the update.zip containing latest rom from Asus website, it said:
-Installing update
-Device image SKU: ww
OTA image SKU: WW
and suddenly after that it restarted, showed a huge Intel Inside logo that I never saw and then went to the dead android image. After waiting a while, the phone restarts, this time only showing the Asus logo with the Intel Inside logo beneath it (not the Intel Inside logo only that I mentioned earlier), and stays there forever.
I dont know what else to do, I dont know if Im doing something wrong.
Were you ever able to fix the problem?
No, until now, no

The Fix!
First Download: -
USB Drivers: http://www.asus.com/in/Phones/ZenFone_C_ZC451CG/HelpDesk_Download/
Asus Flash Tool v1.0.0.11: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7cZB2l2IKlKMENKUWlVaHJ3ZHM/view
Signed Rom zip image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B__oiYlSY-brdHFWMy1OWXNrajg/view
The Process: -
Get your phone to boot into fastboot mode by pressing [vol -] button and power button simultaneously for few seconds.
Connect to your PC and install USB drivers if not done already. The phone should show up as an "ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface" in the Device Manager.
Now, open ASUS Flash Tool :-
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It should detect your phone with serial number and blue orb in front of it.
Select your phone model i.e. ZC451CG
Choose if you want to wipe data or not. I chose "Wipe Data" since I had everything backedup on asus web storage.
Click that box icon and browse for the signed zip image file you downloaded earlier.
Select your device on the ASUS flash Tool by clicking on the serial number like shown in the picture below.
( It had me scratch my head after one failed attempt because I didn't select it the first time! :silly
Click on the green start button, be patient, stay calm and cross your fingers. This could take 10-20minutes or so.:fingers-crossed:
If everything went well your phone should bootup to the welcome screen like the day 1 you got it.
Now, the zip image is quite old so after the initial setup the phone would prompt you with lots of system and app updates. Go with it and enjoy! :victory:
Lastly, don't be shy of pressing that " :good:Thanks! " button if this post helped you.
Thanks man, I will try tonight. Do you know if this works under Windows 8.1 64bits??. I see the screenshots are from windows 7.

Hopefully it should, I did it on a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit machine.
The USB drivers you download has Windows 8 drivers in it. I think that's all that is needed.
Yeah, I will try it then, and report back, thanks again.

IT WORKEEEED!!!! I dont know how to thank you man!. Thank you so much, I was going to give up on this device!. Its working really well.
The only thing I came into trouble, was to install the USB drivers included in the Asus Flash Tool. I did the following (on Windows 8.1 64bits):
I disabled driver signature check first on windows.
I went to the USB drivers folder inside the ASUS Flash tool folder on Program Files.
I went here C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\ASUS Flash Tool\Driver\USBDriverInstaller\devcon\x64
On that folder, there is a program called devcon.exe, right click on it, and select properties.
On compatibility tab select Run as Administrator, click ok.
After this, reinstall USB drivers by going to C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\ASUS Flash Tool\Driver\USBDriverInstaller and here execute install_drivers.bat
Thats it, the phone now should be recognized by the Asus Flash Tool.

Use a download manager like "free download manager" or something. I am on a slow network to re-upload it else where.

Those raw files are extremely difficult to find so if you pretend to have any of those phones i recommend to download. It works easily if you have fastboot. If you only have adb i did not saw working but i am trying.
---------- Post added at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 AM ----------
If you try to do that under adb they give a serial number mistake.
4 days trying to solve this bootloop using adb. At least one person here saved his phone with the raw links i found using google webcache in this vietnamese link so it was worth it. Looks like i will need to lose 40 days sending to Asus in Sao Paulo. What a hell folks, those asus firmwares are really crap. Set a great hardware for set poor software.
why my phone does not give any reaction when press power button+vol
I had same problem but different situation....I tried to make an experiment by changing systemui and I had done it with a wrong step .lucky I make a backup and tried to recover it.
But Things get worst when it failed to backupbang now my phone get stuck to Asus logo.I tried to follow the method that your all give in this thread but I can go to fastbootode with it must press power button+col down button.
CAN ANYBODY HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM
Sorry for my bad English
And I'm a newbie and try to learn something from pro
