Flash back to stock for warranty (nothing really found...) - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

I know that there are some threads about the unflashing/unrooting, to restore the warranty, but i didn't find any thread which applies to me as an mini pro user with MiniCMv2. I think it's not done if i do a SEUS update...can somebody help? i need to repair it, the sound doesn't work

Seus thats it

[Q] restore to factory settings is it safe ?

hi i'm sending off my x10 for repair tomorrow (usb port) and i have xrecovery installed allong with busy box will restoring factory setting through the phone uninstall xrecovery. as i want to get rid off all traces. also does anyone knows how the warranty works on the x10 as i had it repaired by vodafone and im not sure if they voided the warranty, this time im sending it to se (flashed uk generic) i cant see any warranty sticker.
thanks
Factory reset just resets/cleans data... so busybox/superuser/xrecovery will not be removed!!!
If u can use flashtool then flash to a firmware of ur region and don't root after that...

Or you can use SEUS to do a repair and put your phone back to it's "factory state"
i cant use seus or flashtool as the usb port is broken i have root explorer installed anyway i can do it using that

ok good...
provide the following details:
1] which model of X10 do u have? X10 (came pre-installed with 1.6) or X10HD (came pre-installed with 2.1)?
2] X10i or X10a?
3] was ur phone operator-branded (Rogers/etc) or unlocked?
4] wht is the current baseband on ur phone?
me n rendeiro2005 are working on something specifically for such cases... (users who are having broken USB connectors and are unable to use flashtool)... our work is still in progress... but we should be completed soon...
This is the best news ever, it was branded x10i Vodafone UK it came with 1.6. im currently running UK generic current baseband 2.0.46 which I flashed ages ago to get the 2.1 update. I wont send it off tomorrow in case se get a bit miffed with all the stuff installed I wish you best of luck with your project it will be a god send for most users
so u have a X10 (not X10HD)...
since ur BB is 2.0.46 i am guessing u have the FW 2.0.A.0.504 ?
have u used the:
Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.0.A.0.504 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 ?
Yes thats correct fw but I used the build prop method to debrand.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
em ok... if u can upload the original build.prop file i can try to include it in the project we are working on... so u will have a branded rom...
Which build prop as I only have the one im running UK debranded or I could change it using root explorer and upload that
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
upload the one which u want when u finally send the phone for repairs in ur region...
Right so Vodafone is the one I want tomorrow when I get access to my pc ill upload it
Thanks again

Yeah sound I understand its a work in progress.

[DEV][How-To] Get Back to Stock even with Broken USB

Need to go back to original Gingerbread ROM

Can anyone guide me properly on how to get back to the original ROM ? I have the ftf file for my country.. or will it be better to do it using the update service or PC companion ?
I actually want to go back to the original thing.. custom roms and all are just going over my head lol
Please guide me... What I did was I flashed my phone to 2.3.3 then I rooted my phone and then I installed WolfBreaks rom.. the battery is not working good.. so I am thinking to go back to the original gingerbread rom.. do I need to flash it using the flashtool ? Just guide me properly if possible, like how to flash using flashtool stepwise thanks
Just flash your gingerbread ftf with flashtool.

Just flash it as repair using seus or pc companion that will put you in the original GB version for your location.
Is their any thread showing how to do it? I am not much experienced with flashing

Yes, there is a thread somewhere with a detailed guide on how to use flashtool. Just search for "flashtool guide".
You can also use Pcc or SEUS if you want, and that's fine, but I suggest you learn how to use flashtool just in case something nasty happens in the future. Flashtool isn't really that complicated.

do I need to select all the firmware contents while selecting the firmware ? like loader.sin, kernel.sin and so on..
No, once you have selected the firmware, click ok and follow the instructions.

Ok thanks a lot

Making an exact copy

Ok, I had to get a warranty exchange for my x10a. I reflashed to the at&t Rom from here but its not the same. In wondering how can I pull everything from the new phoneand put it on the old phone before I send it back. Basically flashing the old phone to look like the new one so they won't change me for blowing the warranty.
Thanks in advanced

Find the At&t firmware and flash to stock. What is wrong with the old phone?
Sent from my lt15i using xda premium
Look in settings>about phone and you can see which firmware the new phone is on. Then you can flash that fw or post here if you cant find it.

On the old phone, the speaker stopped working meaning I would have to either put my phone on speaker or use a headset. Not really a big issue except that im military and alot of the time I can't wear a Bluetooth and its impractical to have it on speaker.
The new phone is
2.1-update 1-fw
2.1.65-bbq'd
2.6.29 kernal
2.1.A.0.492 build
One of the major things that I notice is the at&t bootscreen on the new one and the se bootscreen on the old

This link will get you to the 1.6 At&t file for your old phone. You will have to create a FTF and flash w/ flashtool. If you want to get to 2.1 afterwards on your old phone, just update with pc companion but you don't have to do that since you are returning it.

Did you try connecting to PC Companion or SEUS after you flashed back to the AT&T Rom. Or on the stock rom isn't there somewhere in settings you can check for OTA updates.

See the flashtool guide in the stickies at the top of the page. You're looking for how to convert sin files into ftf files.

[Q] [Solved] Going back to stock rom, but how?

Hi.
My X10 mini is dying! So I figured I might as well go back to the place I bought the phone and complain. So... to make the phone look as ordinary as possible... How do I get the regular stock rom back? I have CWM recovery 5.0.2.7 installed. I tried just using sony pc companion, but... no go... it wanted me to download something from m.sonyericsson.com/backup using my phone, but I just get a message saying "Unsupported". I'm guessing the browsers header is rating me out...
Use seus to come back the stock rom

you need to flash a original u20 .ftf and then it will be recognized by PC Companion you will find one by googlin' or send me message ill send it
Stock u20 ftf is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125587
And don't forget to relock the bootloader if you have unlocked it. If they find an unlocked bootloader your warranty is void.

Adapted from SONY Website reply,
''Update/Repair your phone via PCC
PCC (PC COMPANION) – Repair your software with this .First do the setup without connecting your mobile to pc.(only connect when you are asked to).
Do it as follow >> PCC > SUPPORT ZONE> SOFTWARE UPDATE> REPAIR SOFTWARE
PC Companion: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/pc-companion/ "
If i have not mistaken, you will be given ''Repair Phone'' option in PCC.
Sometimes, SONY server might disconnect once a while. For more: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/36287
Hope this can help
Sincerely,
whitefang
