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 ?
Mixing several ROMs with a 99% success, I realized that the menu of my x10 Mini reboot E10i (2.1.1.A.0.6) fails. Since I give off and reset very fast ace like if I give the reboot, reboot both accentuated fast and what I would like to both questions is to turn off or cancel the shutdown, the shutdown was switched off and was reboot reboot. If someone can drop files and if they are better XRecovery. Thanks a greeting.
IMPORTANT THAT THE FILES ARE COMPATIBLE TO (2.1.1.A.0.6)
Have you tried a repair with SEUS? I don't know if you already know how to do this, but just in case...:
1. Open Sony Ericsson Update Service, click update/REPAIR PHONE
2. Turn off phone (or if already dead), hold the back button while
connecting USB to PC. Wait for GREEN LED on phone, if this doesn't
happen, disconnect, hold back button, connect, AND press middle (menu)
button and power button, while still holding the back button. This should
work even in the worst circumstances...
3. When you eventually get green led, let SEUS take over...
Repeat step 2 a few times if you don't get it at first. It has saved MANY of
us here...........
SE Xperia X10 Mini, Rooted, XRecovery loaded, Andread 2.2.1.
Now won’t boot properly. Can sometimes get past the swipe unlock screen to be confronted by:
“The application Home (process com.sonyericsson.home) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close”
And
“The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close”
Is there anyway to do a proper hardware only hard reset on the mini as obviously can't select anything from the menu ?
All the information I’ve found so far just uses the Power and Home buttons to switch it off/on. No help.
SE PC companion won’t link to upgrade as I can’t press any buttons on the mini.
I don’t hold out much hope for the FlashTool if it also requires buttons to be pressed on the device.
On most other devices you can at least remove the battery but not with this.
Just so we are clear, there is no way to brick an x10 mini. now flashtool will always work unless there is a physical defect with the phone...in which case your done. basically download flashtool (use search function) and read instructions for it(use search function). it only requires you to turn off your phone and hold back as you plug it in so there is almost no way for a device not to be able to do this.
I followed the FlashTool instructions, held down the back button but no joy. No green LED on device, no recognition on FlashTool.
I don't think the mini is turning off properly.
The only way I can turn it off is to hold the home and power buttons for 3-4 sec, but usually it restarts immediatly.
Is there another way to properly switch off/on?

take a good look, the green LED should flash atleast ONCE....i had the problem when i was new to rooting and installing ROMS.....do this...
1. make your deskie/lappy fully prepared to flash your phone by SEUS, only requiring you to connect the phone in flash mode (even keep your USB to phone cord inserted to the computer)
2. power off the phone by holding the home+power key (& keep holding them, now press the back button).
3.release the power key but KEEP HOLDING THE HOME KEY and the back key...(if you release the home key, the cell will restart).
4. now connect the phone to the computer and hopefully it will connect in flash mode
hope this helps in solving your problem
if i helped you, kindly press the "THANKS" button
In my case, I found that keeping the usb cable plugged into the phone was a problem. So I kept the usb cable plugged into the pc but uplugged from the phone end till flashtool asked me to start the phone in flash mode. Another problem I had was of the drivers when the phone started in flash mode even though I had PCCompanion installed. I had to install the flash mode drivers from the ggsetup-2.2.0.10.exe file which was in the drivers folder under the FlashTool install folder.
Use SEUS! Its better!
Solved! Now working back in SE Android 2.1 state. Rooting, new ROM etc tomorrow.
I found a reference online that described a small rubber panel to the left of the camera lens that gives access to the battery connector and allowed me to disconnect that battery. I could then keep it switched off until ready for the power/back button/connect USB juggling act that the SE Update Service application required in order to reload Android 2.1.
Thanks for all the replies and suggestions.
Guys, i was upgrading the ROM but this time i used this software, UNIFLASH , it showed some cmd windows, later phone automatically booted to cwm, and then turned off! since then its not turning on neither blinking any LED! guys, please show me a ray , help me! phone is not getting recognized by flashtool either :'( and same with seus
try to hold down power + volume up at the same time until you get the phone to vibrate 3 times, after that try to boot or get it into flashmode with flashtool..

have you tried the fastboot method, it´s in android development, "all you need to know..."
try to flash official stock fw like .452 or .45 with flashtool..try to connect the phone in flashmode....hopefully everything will be alright...
PEACE
guys, phone is not able to boot in any mode, it be fastboot or flashmode! its completely dead thats what i meant earlier. After a lot of researching the whole night, i was able to figure out that the bootloader is that the UNIFLASH corrupted the bootloader. So how to fix that?
try this: make sure you have enough charge and the drivers of your phone are installed correctly. (flashtool drivers)
power+volume up wait till vibrates three times,
then connect your phone to pc.
run the flashtool and prepare the firmwares youre going to flash,
a screen will appear and says turn off your phone....etc
hold power button + volume up wait till vibrates three times
then quickly hold power button + volume down.
it will flash the firmware.
just keep on trying.

its simply not vibrating! i held that combination for like 5 minutes continuous last night, phone has to enter either fastboot or flashmode for flashtool to detect! none of them is coming up, and no LED again when its on charging. complete dead complete mess!
By the way, anyone knows how service center people update the phone's software?

would you please enplane what is JTAG and how it works ?
Had the same problem yesterday!
Maybe a noob advice but here what was my mistake: after switch off the phone with volume up, wait for like 30 second before trying to connect in flash mode. Though my phone was dead but just had to wait a little bit before trying the flash mode. Flashtool heal it!
Sorry for my poor english, I'm french and this is my first post, but I follow xda since a long time!
Bye!

Trying to Survive my LT26i
I have rooted my phone
put recovery and flashed my rom to xxperience
so everything was ok
using for 2days
so i saw how to overclocked to 1.8ghz and flash via cwm the kernel
after restart from cwm not either the screen turn on
just green light when i put cable on
and when i tried to flash via flash tool given error for error
so i done as say here to hold power + volume up, and the same
so i waited for a little time and try again and its flashing now...
hope it works
Hi guys, yesterday I unlocked and rooted my Xperia U, as I didnt have time anymore, I decided to install the kernel today, so when I installed it, I tried turning on my phone - nothing. I just got that red light thingy sometimes that is active 2-3 seconds, I tried charging but still nothing, funny thing is, when I connect it to my 2nd PC with XP on it, it connects, but in My Computer I only see "Digital Camera" and cant open it, also Windows Explorer popup for it keeps constantly, well, popping up but its empty and I cant select anything. I'm now downloading flashtool, is there anything I can do else? Im desperate, I got this phone for only 3 days.
Okay, now I'm in flashtool, I'm about to start flashing but I cant get into fastboot mode... What should I do?
Bump? :crying:
Please dont make me spam, I searched everything, I'm pretty sure my problem is unique, I cant access fastboot. Nothing
try this:
1. charge your phone for about 1 hour
2. open flashtool then click fastmode and choose your firmware.
3. make sure your phone is off ( i dont know if this is the same with xperia U volume up+power button wait til vibrates three times)
4. when it says connect your phone into fastmode, connect your phone via usb, then hold volume up + power button and wait till it vibrates three times, then hold power button+ volume down.
5. it will flash your firmware.
or you can flash the stock kernel (just extract from ftf, same instructions above).
I charged it for the whole night, the problem is, I cant access fastboot. All the drivers are installed but nothing.
I'm sending my phone for repair probably, with rooting I broke my warrant, what's going to happen?

Nope, can't access that either.
Ok does your phone vibrates when you turn it on?Do you have any LED light?Does it respobd to anything?

Not vibrating, also, no led.
The only sign I get is when I take out the battery and put it back in, it vibrates for a second. Thats it.
Try to remove the battery and than try all keys combination,and also try to get to connect it to your flashtool.Try hard reset combination.Remove the battery,put the battery,hold power+vol. up button for. 20 sec. If that doesn't make.Try the same only with vol. down button .If that doesn't work,take it to the service shop than....
Hit Thaks if I helped
Hold vol up when replacing the battery, then quickly shove the USB cable in. Phone should vibrate when you put the battery in and you have a second or two to get it into fastboot or flashboot.
Probably a bad install of a kernel, make sure you're using the right one for your phone.
Not sure if it works for the U, but that's how I fixed my Sola.
