Use SEUS. Even if it says software is up-to-date, click "Install" and it will proceed.

Yeap, even your Mini hangs in boot screen, hold Home and press Enter before pressing the Back button may lead you to SEUS update mode.
And I simply hope this may help you unbricking your phone ;-)

ready your seus update, switch off your device, when seus telling you to plugin usb, press and hold back button, then plugin usb to your phone, or pc, when the led turn to green, that should be ready for flashing. Just read the seus instruction carefully. Hope that's help.
and there many thread bout bricked topic you can find in x10 mini general topic.

Holding the Home button, and then press the Power button. That will force close the boot up progress with a vibration. Fast press and hold the Back button until green light on.
SEUs will start then.

hello everyone
i srsly need help right now
i was using stock rooted rom 2.3 and i downloaded tripnmiui 2.2 latest version and i flashed it.. .. bt later i realized tht i shldnt hav flashed it through recovery and all..
and then after flashing it i rebooted my phone, after the SE logo it reboots again and again. thn i tried to RESTORE frm recovery bt i dnt knw wht happened that im unable to mount the sd card or even restore from it. i cnt even flash back to stock 2.3 via flashtool.
i dnt knw wt to do. please help ppl.
P.S im a noob
You were trying to use the 2.3 baseband on a non-2.3 rom. That's why it kept rebooting.
To fix it, just keep trying flashtool, PC Companion, or SEUS.

Install the x10 adb drivers and use flashtool should be good to go
Sent from my X10 using XDA Premium App
Sorry if I sound patronizing or rude or anything, but have you used flashtool before? You open it up, hit flash, choose your firmware, hit ok, when a box comes up about connecting in flash mode, you plug the phone whilst holding the back button. It should start flashing automatically.
With regards to the phone going into flash mode (green led) whenever you plug it in, mine used to do that until I flashed gingerbread on it. Its normal I think, but you should still hit back if you want to get into flash mode.

Doesnt Work
I got that problem too when I was flashing kernel but I had locked bootloader. So I used PC companion to "repair" my phone.
custom kernels are only for unlocked bootloaders.turn off your phone and flash a stock .tft file's kernel via flashtool (press and hold vol down when plug)
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
EDIT 2: I GOT INTO FASTBOOT!!!!
Hard reset your phone (Volume up + power until phone vibrates 3 times)
Plug into PC
Hold Volume up and power, but as soon as the phone vibrates/red light goes up, REMOVE POWER BUTTON, but HOLD VOL UP.
You should be in Fastboot.
I tried reflashing Doom's kernel, but it doesn't work gah. Will try more.
FYI, flashboot is the same procedure, but hold volume down + power all the way.

Ok, I may think I know what's wrong. I'm no expert, but that kernel didn't say it comes with root rights, but some how I got root rights for my phone now.
I think something went wrong when Doomkernel was rooting the phone.
If that version doesn't work, flash a couple of different kernels and see where you go, although I've flashed the following:
In order:
-Doom's
-Advance Stock Kernel
-Doomkernel v1
-The one which I posted.
hey i think i woke it up!i extracted kernel file from stock ics firmware and flashed it with fastboot.but i can see just the sony logo! phone is restarting continuously

Mine goes to the nAa screen for a couple minutes then restarts and does this over and over. I think I missed a step. I did not format/system/data etc etc and did not get cwm. For some reason I thought I read you only needed to wipe or format if you were coming from another custom kernel. It took me over 4 hours to finally get the root and bootloader part finished.
I have no idea how to mount an sd card or install anything on the sd card. ios brah here so as of yesterday I had never even seen let alone messed with android.
Also confused if I need to load something after the nAa kernel or if it contains jellybean itself. Even the beginners guides seem to assume I am smart enough to know what mounting image or formatting cards means. Please anyone know where I went wrong_? Or maybe a link to a beginners guide my grandma could understand? Thanks and sorry but I have searched and come up short.
I never saw these instructions until after I flashed nAa. I followed all directions then after I flshed and scrolled down in the thread it said make sure before you flash to do these other steps. I wish there was a clear tutorial for technical retards like me.
flash JB kernel
in CWM, go to mount&storage :
then, format /system, /data and /cache (so that kernel can use the new partitions size) any data on phone memory will be lost
set up your swap:
==> go to /advanced/Partition SD Card
if you don't want to use a2sd, then choose the minimal size for ext, and the size you want for SWAP
it will FORMAT your SDcard ! any data on SDcard will be LOST
and install the rom

Ok I found this tutorial and it seems to cover most of my questions.
I am only wondering what to do first. Currently when I power on my phone u20i it goes to the screen with nAa and on bottom right of screen the version just as the picture shows but it just stays there for a minute or two then reboots. I can never get past that screen and I cannot shut the phone off without removing the battery.
Advice please thanks.

Press the back-button repeatedly (about 3 times a second will do nicely) when the phone starts to get into the CWM menu. There you can do the other steps needed.

Hi. I never installed cwm. Heres what I have done since my last post.
I partitioned the sd card and did the following. (didnt install recovery installer)
Create a folder on your microSD card and call it APK.
Download Mini Rom Manager and save the apk-file in the APK folder.
Download Recovery Installer and save the apk-file in the APK folder. (DID NOT INSTALL THIS IT IS DISCONTINUED) ************
Download kFix and save the apk-file in the APK folder (i will get back to this one later)
Download Dual Recovery and save the zip-file in the ROMs folder
Now you can remove the microSD card from your PC. Remember to use the "eject" function on your computer.
Put the microSD card back into your phone, click on its rear panel and turn on your Xperia X10 mini pro.
Now I turn my phone on and it goes right to the nAa screen with2.6.29.6-nAa-jb-03 on the bottom right. I have tried to hold the back button, click back button 3 times a second, and every other combination of clicking or holding the back button during boot. It never shows a sony screen and it always goes to the same nAa screen for a few minutes then reboots on its own and repeats until battery is removed.
Any ideas? Noob here so very plain speak is appreciated.
press back button repeatedly, when naa logo is drawing.

CWM is included in this kernel, so it is available. Start pressing the backbutton like i said before the logo starts showing.
Ok I tried it a few times and a few different ways. Fast, slow, medium speed. From the moment the phone comes on and when the logo appears. No luck. By the way the logo slides in already drawn from the right to the center of the screen then under nAa "freedom within" is drawn. I am not sure whats up but nothing is working so far.
I have done all this with the phone disconnected from the computer.

Yes, it doesn't need the computer for those steps, try to reflash the kernel, and if it still doesn't work, maybe redownload the kernel.
1 Ok I started flashtool and connected phone
2 started reading and I didnt start in flashgmode or anything. (I did try this again holding back button during startup but it still wouldnt enter flashmode)
3 Phone did the standard restart its has been doing (start/boot into nAa screen/stay there a while/restart by itself and repeat loop)
4 Restarts here again
Repeats this over and over. It never stays connected long enough for a flash to take place. The phone was bone stock when I started. I used seus to update through sony to latest version android. Then I rooted. Then unlocked bootloader. Then flashed nAa 2.6.29.6-nAa-jb-03. Then first boot was going as tutorial states until it never booted past nAa screen. So now I am here.
Tried to update on seus just now hoping it would flash back to stock but nAa restarts right in the middle of whatever I am trying to do when connected to usb cable. So it always disconnects before update or flash can complete.

Press home and power buttons together to make it restart, and as soon as the screen goes black ( backlight off too ) press and hold the back-button to go into flashmode. You can do this with the cable already connected and flashtool ready to flash.
Ok I tried it and no restart. So I took out battery replaced battery started and waited 60 seconds then help home and power. It did a little buzz/vibrate and shut off and as soon as it shut off the green light top right came on solid. I hit the back button about the same time as green light came on. Nothing happened but when I released back button green light went off and reboot continued. I can hear the laptop beeping the noise that means usb is connected or disconnected. It seems like when the green light shines the usb disconnects. And when The green light goes off usb reconnects. Also wjhen I click and hold back button it seems to freeze the system so if I hold back button during restart green light stays on nothing happens. I then release back button and light goes off. If I click back button again it will stay there no green light screen off forever until I release back button then it immediately restarts and boots to nAa screen. When I remove the battery and reinsert 30seconds later the green light comes on for 15 seconds approx. then goes off and phone turns on by irself and boots to same nAa screen.
I tried over 20 times to hold power and home(middle button) after device was fully powered on to nAa screen but was only aboe to get it to restart once and I am not positive I held both buttons securely when it did restart the one time. Regardless it never has allowed me to flash or repair with seus or enter flash mode as far as i can tell.
Thanks for taking time to help me. Very sorry this is such a pain.
So I plugged in the phone to the wall charger just in case battery was low and no led lights or lcd indicators saying its charging. Then boots to nAn screen. So I might not be able to charge it now. Last thing before flashing nAa I am pretty sure it was in usb debug mode. Not sure if it matters.
Does anyone have any idea what I should do here? I cannot use the phone now at all. I have tried all proposed solutions and am still stuck.
Its like nAa took over completely. It never gets past the nAa screen when I turn it on.
I power on the phone. click back repeatedly but it still boots to nAa screen.
When its fully booted I press and hold power and home buttons and nothing happens.
I boot it completely to nAa screen and press and hold power button only and nothing happens.
I boot it to nAa screen and leave it alone and it reboots by itself about every 60 seconds or so.
Seus starts to connect to the phone and as soon as it connects the phone disconnects itself and reboots.
I take out battery for an hour and the replace it and it sits there in off position. I plug it up and a few seconds later it turns itself on and procees to boot to nAa and reboot over and over.
It doesnt like and usb plugged into it and will nto stay connected to usb no matter if its to charge, flash, or seus.
Special thanks to SmG67 for recommend the bridge app for mac http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/bridge-for-mac/
Started app, updated app, removed battery 5 seconds, plugged sony cable into computer and phone, then held back button while plugging in battery. Kept back button pressed the entire update(approx 3 minutes) Thank followed instructions and it booted right up no nAa splash screen.
Thanks Smg67 for taking time to figure this out.
Now if I can get it to ginger/ics/or jb without screwing it up again. I really wanted jb but I sure dont wanna mess this up again...
Ok so apparently I flashed E10 instead of U20 nAa kernel. Now I thought I had everything right. I boot it goes to nAa splash screen then goes to screen with Cyanogen (mod) in the middle of an animated blue circle. Stuck on this animated circle screen forever now. Any idea what I did wrong?
Ok got it. I missed the factory reset step. So flashing wrong rom and not performing factory reset were my issues.
Hi again. I cannot seem to find the playstore or android market on my phone. No icon anywhere. How can I get apps on my phone? I just wanted a few basic ones like google translate, gmail, and maybe 1 or 2 more.
Hello all.
I would like to ask you for help with my phone.
I bought Xperia X10i (in immaculate condition) sold as dysfunctional. Seller claimed that the phone is broken because of the flashing red LED light.
When I tried to turn it on, actually flashing red LED. I immediately swapped battery for a fully charged and red LED changed to green LED.
When I try to turn on the phone, green LED blink once & shortly vibrate and that's all.
No logo...nothing. Phone not respond till I remove battery. When I put the battery back, the situation is repeated.
I left the phone on the charger over 24 hours, even though it had a fully charged battery.
When I connect phone to the wall charger, green LED lights up for about 70 seconds. Then LED goes out..
When I connect phone to the USB on PC, green LED lights up for about 10 seconds. Then LED goes out..
When I run SEUS, and hold on Back key, I receive:
"New software is available for your phone
Update your software to get latest features and corrections and keep your phone in the best possible condition."
Once I confirm upgrade, SEUS download firmware and start installation with result:
"The installation failed
Please disconnect the phone and make sure that battery is fully charged before trying again. if the problem persists, please contact support."
Note: battery was fully charged and tested in the second functional phone.
When I try to flash it, FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec return this:
"21/026/2013 02:26:21 - INFO - <- This level is successfully initialized

As phone is not able to turn on, it is not possible to turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging.
Any idea what else could be done here, please? Appreciate your help...

I managed to unbrick mine by using windows 7, then pc companion,then using the repair phone option.
It seems windows xp and windows 8 are crap at recognising drivers.
try watching vids like this:

hope it works for you also.

It is weird because I opened the box to this phone and it didn't turn on from the start.

Hey,
I'm stuck with a brick at the moment.
I (stupidly) did hold power button and volume up when I needed to restart Sony Stock Jellybean + Doomkernel and phone would not restart.
So I flashed NUT's .532 ICS, rooted and installed Dualrecovery.
First I tried flashing Stock 5.1.1 but it bootlooped - tried this a few times.
Then I tried flashing XSlim 3.2 and 2.41 the normal way with Team Win Recovery but neither would boot.
Unfortunately I tried to flash XSlim again and I got a wizard-like interface that I have never seen before by accident (I was trying to flash using Team Win Recovery again and I'm not sure how I got to this wizard)
Since the wizard appeared to be doing everything I do to flash firmware I clicked through it and rebooted - and now I'm stuck:
Phone does haptic if I hold the power button and it will go into flashmode.
When I try to flash NUT .532 using Flashtool it gives the following output and aborts:

Can anyone please help me?
EDIT: After trying various things all involving Flashtool nothing has worked and the same error occurs in Flashtool everytime.
I did however notice that I *can* turn the device off using Power+volume UP -> 3 haptic alerts (I incorrectly stated that this didn't work) and then press the power button again to get 1 haptic alert.
The LED is functioning but only rarely - specifically it works when I hold volume DOWN and plug USB in to activate flashmode.
EDIT 2: LED has come back on - no idea what I did to cause it and it's red like it is with battery <10%. Still no screen life though. I'll wait and see if it turns orange and then I might be back in business again possibkly.
Edit 3: LED is on again, I noticed I also have this SEMC Drive thing when I plug my ZU into the computer but unfortunately the fix doesn't work for me as in the is thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/help/wont-start-charging-led-power-vol-t3278792
Curiously the LED flashes red if I plug the phone into a few non-stock USB powerbricks I have lying around. They have previously charged the phone without any issue that I could see and I've never seen the LED flash like that before.
Edit 4: LED just turned off by itself, nothing done by me :|
Edit 5: LED is now cycling on and off very, very slowly and sometimes showing re to green like it's entering flashmode.
Edit 6: Flashtool is working as though the device is already in Flashmode without my intervention
Blinking red LED could indicate a kernel panic, which would also explain why it won't boot. Hold VOL UP while connecting your device to your computer. The LED should turn blue and stay on until you unplug it again.
Is this the case? Cool. Open Flashtool, click the flash button and choose "fastboot" (VOL UP + USB = Fastboot). Then click "flash kernel". Note that you have to download a kernel with recovery included before this step. Just find a random kernel from around here that includes a recovery. Once you've.done that, flash it, unplug the device and press VOL UP when the phone boots and it vibrates at the SONY logo. It should boot into recovery now, and you can restore or flash a ROM.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm pretty sure your advice has fixed it as I just got a screen on but device is acting strangely - I'm guessing it's battery related and it needs to charge for a bit.
Cheers, will update shortly.
Did you solve it?
Hey yes thank you!
It needed to be left overnight to be charged but now it's restored thanks to you!

Dear Klaos3000 and diji1,
Yesterday, my phone went soft-brick also. Luckily, I could enter Fastboot. So, that's a decent start.
The problem is, I seem not to be able to find a kernel matching the description
Really, I tried flashing CM 12 kernel, Dual-recovery kernel... 5 different ones so far. However, after I flash the kernel with Fastboot, upon reseting, it keeps blinking red light for 3 times.
So guys, especially diji1, would you mind sharing the kernel file you used?
Much thanks my friends!

Man, trust me, I'm smashing that thanks button right now.
I had the same issue and searched for days with no results. I now have been able to get into twrp, screen working again, everything seems to be fine for now, I flashed CarbonROM
Well, I was writing this with my device beside me, and it just fully booted up. Nothing else to say, I love you. Cheers mate, cheers. You made my day.

Old thread but could use your help. I'm in the same boat, trying to revive my old Xperia Z and what I think happened is I was trying to flash an updated TWRP while battery percentage was low and erratic. In any case, my phone appears dead but yes I can get into flashtool and get it into fastboot mode (blue light stays on).
After this though I am stuck. I did as you mentioned, tried to find a kernel around here which I believe is the boot.img file contained in most ZIPS but keep getting a 'command failure' message in flashboot.
Prior to screwing up my phone it was unlocked/rooted and running a 5.1.1 firmware although I cannot recall which one. I have tried:
MEOW-kernel.v2.07.14-kitkat-yuga
XzI-v5
both of which I found as ZIPS and extracted the boot.img files but got the same error on flashtool. I was trying to find DOomlords kernel but the download links here don't work anymore (https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/orig-development/kernel-doomkernel-v22-t2172888)
I could really use some help getting my phone up and running again!
