DON'T KEEP FLASHING WITH FLASH TOOL THEN!
PEOPLE KEEP DOING THINGS LIKE THIS WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THEIR DOING
Now connect the phone to SEUS and reflash stock Rom, I bet phone will be fine.
Edit: also ensure your battery has over 50% charge before connecting to update service. Just leave on charge for a while even if it keeps restarting.

Did your X10 break mechanically?
You should take it to the shop.
Hey I feel for you.
I never had that before but I would download pc suite 6
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Sony-Ericsson-PC-Suite-Download-16854.html
install take battery out of phone.
select repair and choose your x10 model and follow the prompts. do not plug usb cable and battery until it tells you to.
now put in battery and hold down back button and plug usb in and hope it locks into flash mode. If it works the softwaree will repair your loader and install default rom and you'll be good to go.
Did you overdrive the cpu at all?
Let us know how you make it
good luck
Buddy,
if you want to use flashtools do it in the right way. First download the last firmware .67.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733
Copy .ftf file at firmware folder of flashtools.
flash your xperia
root it and everything should be fine....
don't forget to wipe personal data
thanx buddy, il try n let u knw

There's absolutely no reason why SONY ERICSSON UPDATE SERVICE SHOULDN'T WORK!
There must be something your doing wrong.
Or u may have broken your usb connector?

Can you boot into xrecovery?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Ok..been there.only difference being my x10 continuously vibrated when put it to charge. And never started.
Here is what I suggest.
1. Your x10 battery must be very low by now as u did multiple flashing. Take battery out for few min. Then put it in and keep phone for charging for couple of hours.even if green led doesn't light up.
2. Download SEUS not the pc suit. And install the firmware again.
3. If it doesnt help. Again run seus..and this time KEEP back button pressed for complete process.

I felt what people who bricked their X10i went through. Personally i bricked my X10i just 20minutes out from the box (package) I spent whole night reading to unbrick it. lol. So, here it is. Im just trying to help. So i reupload that important file Download Link -> http://hotfile.com/dl/108230277/6d80..._F3v3.rar.htm Step by Step Guide -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907 Please follow from Step 0 After that you can run Flashtool and download rom with baseband .67 because u will be running android 1.6 old. Please reply the outcome. Thanks.
So whats the outcome?
I sincerely hope this is not in the wrong place, but i do not know where else to put it. I tried to update my x10 running wbcm6 to tw007.2, but apparently in my sleep-deprived haze, downloaded the wrong bb version. when i tried to restart after install, i lost xrecovery, and had no signal and had an unknown bb version. after many attempts to recover, finally resorted to rolling back all the way to stock 2.1 and starting over. was able to succesfully flash at&t 2.1 rom according to flashtool, but now i am stuck in a reboot loop after the boot animation. cannot get seus pc companion to recognize, and neither will flashtool. i am at the end of my wits, this my only phone, and it is currently unuseable...
anyone who has any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. let me know if i can provide any further information...
My turn!

Sounds like what happend to me when flashing custom kernels to MIUI ROMs.
Something wrong with the chargemon with the problem I was having.
But for you. Dunno.
You've tried re-flashing firmware but cannot get flashtool to recognize your phone?
Try taking the battery out, then get flashtool set up, plug everything in and hold the back button, and then put the battery back in and continue to hold the back button.
Sometimes, it takes a bit for the 'puter to recognize the phone with flashtool because it's had the USB ID re-assigned. Mine (on windows 7) will re-install the USB driver when I'm having severe issues.

It is funny to me when people just say "wrong section" but offer no useful advice. Seems just as easy to say nothing and just let us work it out. And who knows? Maybe someone who is dealing with an issue caused by android development (see current section) will think to look in the same place for a solution. It's a big circle!

MODS>>>>>PLEASE MOVE TO Q&A!!!!!!AHHHHHHHHH!
wow. solved before it got moved ? :L
also, i was gonna suggest reboot your darn x64 bit comp, and the take out your ****fy battery, and then plug your usb cable in the hole and hold the back button and reflash with flashtool, but when it says flashing, then insert battery while still holding the back button. its a common issue after one flash for x64. happened to me several times, when the x64 bit comp won't detect, so i had to reboot.
now, MOD PLEASE MOVE
Moved to proper forum.
that is interesting information to know. i will definitely keep that in mind when flashing in the future. appreciate that

You have a faulty xrecovery installed mate!
Use SEUS to repair. Flashtool to root.
Once done, let me know. I have a safe, simple way of installing xrecovery (that works).

Hi mate thanks alot for helping me!
Just to let you know..I used the Flashtool couple of times before and it always worked. (even it said that it worked when I did backup)
I still got some questions before I do what you told me:
When I will use SEUS to repair - will it install the stock rom on my device?
Do you think that the flashtool did backup my current version and data?
and..after I'll install xrecovery again..will I have my last "restores"? (will I be able to restore?) because the info there might be more expensive to me than the device itself.
Thanks alot again!! I will start working on it as soon as you will answer me please again A.S.A.P.

Ups backup is required for ur pc so that in case ur current goes off in midway you dont endup in bricking ur fone.
Yes ftf needs to be placed inside firmwire folder.
Open flashtool.re.keep it running.
Shut down your phone ,connect the data cable to phone,keep the back button pressed and insert the data cable to usb port. Your led will turn green. Goto flash and browse firmwire folder to select the ftf file.
Enjoy flashing!!!

any help please??

I mean, ups is required so that evem your power supply/electricity goes off, you can carry on your work.
You can use external battery charger to charge your battery only.
Before flashing,pull out your battery...as you said.
Last resort: if all fails, go to se service center, they will repair it. They use the same pc companion. When i tried to flash my fone earlier,i was a dumb fella. I bricked it. Took it to service center and got it fixed.
Before flashing, watch doomlord's video of flasing at least 4 times. Then read the instructions and flash, keep the video running and pause at required places. This is how i flashed successfully on next instance.

Hi mate if you think you backed up properly from xrecovery and it still in sd card, use card reader to retrieve it to pc. The file should be under sdcard/xrecovery/backup/xxxxx.zip. then try recover it from working phone with xrecovery. Hope this help n good luck.

I need to flash my X10 Mini, but I can't find the firmware for It anywhere with a working link. Anyone that still have the file and willing to share?
There are only plenty of links to sites that are down
I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.9-robyn on the phone and then afterwards it just won't start anymore, so i need to flash it and then use SEUS to restore it.
UPDATE!
I found everything and fixed everything I needed by just flashing It with a stock kernel.
Just use the Repair option in Pc Companion.

I'm not looking for how to do It..... Read the question before you post. I appreciate you trying to help, but at least understand what the question Is first.
I'm looking for the firmware for the flashtool so I can flash my device (.ftf file)
They guides that teaches you how to fix a bricked phone got links to megaupload (that got shutdown not long ago) and multiupload (also got shutdown) for the firmware I'm looking for.
If you can't turn the phone on, then flashtool won't help you. You have to able to turn the phone on to get to download mode for flashtool, or Pc Companion, or SEUS to do their thing.
If your phone doesn't turn on, you've got a hard brick. Which is bad.

No, it can be a hard brick, he didn't do anything to put his device in danger (from what he claims).
He just needs a stock .ftf file for mini, which I was planning to do in the past, but did only for the pro... I am sorry my friend... There is only one solution -to make the ftf file yourself, which is something very confusing and you are going to need another mini to do this. But don't get your hopes down, it is possible, at least...

The phone it self comes to a point where there is some light on the screen, but i can't see the SE Logo anymore. I can charge the phone without problem from what it looks.
If I can get hold of another mini how can I make the ftf?
What did I do to achive this problem??
I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.9-robyn and it ended with a phone that got stuck during boot. Then I got to a guide where someone said "Hardreset the device and use SEUS", but SEUS always says that my phone has the latest software.

As far as SEUS is concerned, you DO have the latest software. It just doesn't realise that what you have doesn't work. Select the option to reinstall the software.

Only one problem here, I don't have the option to reinstall the software at all after it says that I already have the latest software.
Can it be that the option is no longer there depending on SEUS version?

Only one problem here, I don't have the option to reinstall the software at all after it says that I already have the latest software.
Can it be that the option is no longer there depending on SEUS version?

There is a repair option in PC Companion, see it, please! The repair option on PC Companion is Support Zone --> Update --> Repair.
BTW, to hard reset :
1. Turn the phone off
2. Press the POWER button
3. Press and hold home key aprox 3 seconds
4. The hard reset is starting.

I will try that thanks, but you need to hard reset before the repair with PC Companion?
I managed to find the stock kernel so now I'm starting the device, but I get a SE logo and then It shuts off.
One problem when I try to repair on step 2 (prepare step) I get a error unable to start or phone update update components. (the pc companions is installed with the newest version)

Were you able to flash again the Rom or not?
It should be a soft brick so if you'll install again the Rom you should be fine...

Follow again the Step 1 of the guide you used (except the isntallation of the program which you already have made) and you should be good to go, with a GB rom, but good to go
Let me know if all goes trough!

Make sure your phone has a good % of battery left
1) Power off the phone.
2) Start flashtool
3) Click on the Lighting Symbol and Select Flashmode and click OK.
4) Select Appropriate Firmware and Tick Wipe User Data and Wipe Cache check box if visible and click OK. If visible click even exclude TA
PS: The appropriate firmware is a stock firmware for your device. For example the GB rom you downloaded for the downgrade and already placed in the flashtool/firmwares folder
5) click ok and follow the on-screen indications
6) when it asks to plug your device in flashmode, plug the cable in the mobile keeping the Volume DOWN button pushed down.
7) follow the on-screen indications

Well if you again come across the bootloop problem you can check xda university for all around solution "http://xda-university.com/as-a-user/how-to-recover-from-a-bootloop"
And if you are still looking for a way to root your st15i, you can use this easy one click root software, i personally tried it and it works "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219781"
