I realise there is a similar thread , but I believe the circumstances are a bit different hence the new one.
Over the last few days I've been trying various x10 roms without much problem , I was going in and out of xrecovery without a problem and I found the best rom for my phone was TripNMiui as everything worked. However I decided to try some of the Gingerbread roms. Eventually it got to a point where I confused which rom I had loaded I installed cm 7 and by mistake installed Trip's kernel add on . Now when I restart my phone it gets stuck on the SE logo
I have an additional problem in that the charger/usb connector doesnt work and so nothing happens when I connect it to a computer, Is there anyway to sort my problem out. I cannot get back into xrecovery. Its the .46 baseband
i had a problem loading xrec yesterday an being stuck at the SE logo aswel usely it only takes 5 press's from the start of the SE logo thin it drops to xrec but yesterday it took i think it was around 20 times give that a shot an hopefuly you can restore just the CM7 rom if not you might wont to look in to your providers return policy i had to have my x10 replaced last week and it was the Microusb port stoped working the day i installed CM7 (not saying its cm7 there where a fue thing i did that might have factored in to it not working.)
Can you connect to SEUS? Try to recover the stock firmware with update service..
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\Update Service.exe
Follow the prompts, get into restore mode... flash back to stock
hopefuly his ports not fryed D=
Unfortunately the port is broken

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!
I had this problem today. I could still get to xrecovery by taking the battery out and restore the phone I managed to get CM7 on my xperia. I was so proud of myself and would be able to do it again much quicker
fix I think

Plug your phone into the computer and reflash with SEUS. I believe thats your only choice now.....well that and the flashtool.
yup...trying to use the flashtool now...downloading the latest one so hopefully can use a generic rom / install the xrecovery via flashtool first...
but i am still downloading it....bloody connection is so slow here...
Thanks!
Thankfully, you can't actually brick this phone unless it has real hardware failure. All you gotta do is remove the battery (to get it to turn off), then put it back in like 30 seconds later, hold the back button while plugging in usb, then you are in flash mode to install whatever rom you'd like with seus or flashtool
it's alive!!! ahahahahaha...thanks!
so this means it is QUITE the unbrickable!!
unbrickable x10... until u stomp on it .... hahahahaha
Help please. I'm basically in a boot loop with no recovery. Idk what I should do or if its possible to make a warranty claim.
Hey guys I'm in a boot loop of some kind. I'm not an advanced user of this stuff but idk what to do at this point. So this is the situation. I have a X10a from at&t and its rooted with busybox and freex10 recovery or whatever. I had a default 2.1 ROM and flashed the offline recharging thing. My phone seemed to work fine but then my battery died out. For a while I've had recharging problems with my phone either my cable is messed up or the usb port. So anyways after it died out I tried to recharge but I was in the 3x red flashing light problem and accidentally broke my charger cord, but continuing I borrowed my friends cord and still had problems so knowing my usb port is kinda broken i just left it there. After about 2 hours my phone majestically starts up lol. So I decided I wanted to put on xrecovery just incase and My computer wont read my phone. I try everything from takeing out my sd card to restarting my computer to reinstalling pc companion like 20 times. So I tried a factory reset through the phone settings and ended up where i currently am in a boot loop. It turns on and does the sony ericsson thing then does the boot animation then my phone vibrates and the screen darkens and my buttons are lit up. It has been like this for about 30 mins so far. I tried restarting my phone by taking out the battery and taking out the sd card/sim card.
Sorry for this being long but this is my situation. Could you please help me out? I Don't know if I can do a warranty claim or anything I'm desperate so please any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Also if there is anymore information you need please just ask.
the boot loop problem sounds like a wrong baseband issue, as for the usb problems you're experiencing I'm not sure how to help you there. Hopefully someone has an answer.
Just install stock generic 2.1 with Flashtool!
Install stock firmware through flashtool
Please hit a thanks if u r satisfied...
you can also use Sony`s SEUS to flash to stock 2.1. easiest way to return to stock
Yeah but my computer can't read my phone. I think it's because im using a HTC usb cable instead of the one issued by sony ericsson. That or my usb port on my phone is broken. Lets hope it's the first one. I'm gonna get a new cable soon

I think you need to install the SEUS program by Sony Ericsson and has a download link on their website to get the phone drivers. Try it if you haven't tried it.
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.2.1 Pure CM Rom from kxhawkins
Had that same problem when I first flashed my phone. Either SEUS should do it or flashtool.
Is your computer picking up anything at all? Is it trying to recognise the phone at all?
I may have posted in the wrong section and before you say there are topics covering this ive tried everything and im at my wits end!
I had a custom 2.2 ROM loaded on my Xperia for months but due to battery life issues i decided to upgrade to 2.3 (Wolf's) without doing much research.. Had i learnt that i needed to upgrade xRecovery to the latest release i wouldnt be in this dilemma.
I did the usual stuff when loading a new ROM but when loading the 2.3.3 ROM it failed.
Now when the phone starts up i get nothing but the SE logo!
Ive tried reflashing.
Ive tried using SEUS/PCC to update my phone - Which to no avail will the program recognize my phone for longer than 10 seconds.
Ive also tried SeTool2 and cant get my head around that.
If anyone has a fast easy fix for an idiot like me please point me in the right direction!
Should also add that i cant access xRecovery.
I am not trying to highjack this post but i am in the same position my phone is stuck in a loop on the black screen with the se logo.Flash tool or the se update service "sees" it for about 10 seconds not long enough to do anything.Please can anybody help?
A quick update i have sorted it i left it on se update and some how it went in to repair mode and i now have a working x10 again.The se repair didnt seem to be doing anything it just said please wait but i switched it on and it worked now i have to root it again lol
I think you should flash stock ROM 2.1 via flashtool, root and flash Xcr. Afterwards, you can follow the WOLF's instructions to flast TW ROM. Remember flash baseband .71
So i tried those things and still havn't gotten anywhere!
I cant flash the only thing i can do with flashtool is change the baseband and thats not very helpful to me atm!
I just wish there was an easy fix but apparently there isnt

Read Wolf's thread!!!
You HAVE to change the baseband, otherwise it won't work! You need baseband .71, which is included in the flashtool package he says to use...

First of all sorry for not replying sooner as i have been very busy, i have to agree with hr7 i used the Sony Ericsson PC Companion and clicked on repair
Morning everyone
i have tried to search the forums with a similar problem, but i couldnt find a solution to this.
NOTE; If there is, please provide a link to the post, i'll appreciate that.
So this is what happened :
i flashed the phone with custom rom ( MiniCM9/JB/ICS) successfully..but after finding that the camera didnt work with one of the roms ICS i think, i reverted back to the original e10i kernel.
the problem with this is that PC Companion couldnt update my phone, as it didnt recognise it, it only said SONY/SONY ERICSSON phone..apart from that, the battery seems to have died out, i tried charging it on the wall plug but it would boot up and display the SONY ERICSSON logo and after a few seconds, restart. it doesnt seem to charge the phone but rather gives it a 'boost' to boot up. it does the same thing when plugged in the laptop. Now, the baterry seems to have been depleted completely as the red led flashes while still connected in flash mode.
I expected a big battery icon to display when i charged it on the wall plug but i got the boot logo...and restarts..SEUS said i have the latest software..PC companion couldnt ''repair'' it because the battery would run out while still connected in flashmode.
Please assist me in anyway.
thanks
AGAIN : if there is a problem somewhere in the forums PLEASE direct me to it, i dont wanna cause any spam on the forums.
Thank you

Your main problem is that you still have the custom ROM although you're back on stock kernel. Try to flash this with flashtool.

Thanks bro..i'm downloading it now will try it after an hour or so..have to go to a friends house for a laptop..thanks to lighting storm. Anyway i'll keep you updated with the process.
After doing so can i flash custom rom?(i'd like to think so, just confirming to ease my conscience lol) and currently which is the most stable rom between the aforementioned roms? Just looking for your opinion.
Thanks again.

Yes, your bootloader will remain unlocked, so you will be able to flash custom kernels and roms, no problem.
They are working on a fix for the camera, and the first one updated will be MiniCM9 i think, but for now MiniCM7 (or other gingerbread based roms) remains the best performing option for our phones.

Smg, i tell you, Yesterday was not my xperias day. My data bundles depleted while it had gone 80% (i think) into the download, i then recharged for another 100MB unfortunately i was using my ageing 6730c on Opera mini n the download couldnt resume! So i'd like to know, how big is the file itself because when it started, it said 114MB it reached that size and kept on going till 188MB i guess that's how much bundles i had. Anyway will try to get a wifi hotspot.
I think i'll go with the MiniCM7 for now till further development is made for these ROMS. A very big up to the developers.
Till i get that file! Later

Yes, sorry about that.. it's the original SE stock 2.1 firmware and it comes in at about 210mb, although the site keeps saying differently, i don't know why it does that. You need to flash it with flashtool.
success
hey bro....guess what..it worked. I ended up downloading the file via a blackberry lol anyway it was 210MB...215 in fact..anyway my phone is fixed and ready for customisation. A very big Thank u man. I'm just waiting for it to fully charge because it was completely drained i was lucky it survived the original stock flashing.
Thanks for the time and energy you put in. I really appreciate it. Cant wait to get my Samsung Galaxy Gio lol i know its a bit old now but it hasn't seen the 'other side' of the grass.
First of all, I wanted to say hello since this is my first post here :victory: and also please if I am posting wrong or if this question has been answered before forgive me, but I have already searched on google and on this forum and found no related posts Ok now about my problem:
I have a "Sony Ericsson Xperia X10mini Pro" with MiniCM10-4.1.0-20130416(mimmi) and 2.6.32.60-nAa-jb-05 kernel installed. Yesterday I decided to go back to U20_nAa-14_2.6.29.6-nAa-14 kernel and MiniCM7-2.2.1-mimmi-UNOFFICIAL because of wifi problems. I have done the flashing process with flashtool a lot of times in the past and I can't be wrong with it this time.
The problem started after flashing my kernel. Flashtool flashed the U20_nAa-14_2.6.29.6-nAa-14 kernel fine and phone was OK ready to reboot, so I unplugged the USB cable to start it on recovery so I could install Minicm from SD, but since I unplugged the cable the phone is DEAD! No led and no charging! :crying: When I try to reflash it, flashtool doesn't recognize it, I am pressing the back button and plugging it in but the phone is not recognized. It is not charging when I am plugging it on the charger and its not even trying to boot. I tried different cables, different battery (from a friend with the same phone) and nothing. Is there a way to force flash it back? Please any help will be appreciated since I have tried everything I know...
This has happend to other users too reasently.
I'm not sure if it only happens when going from JB to GB or it also happens when going from GB to JB.
We need to investigate why/how it happens and how to prevent it.
I always recomend to do a battery stat whipe just before a planed kernel-flash. I had simular problem once (no charge, no boot, no nothing) after a kernel-flash. I solved it by putting in a battery from another Mimmi (my wife has the same model). For some reason everything worked fine doing so. After battery stat whipe, the phone worked with my own battery again.
Best advise for others is for now: When you want to flash new kernel, first do a SEUS/PC Companion repair
This should be written into all install-instructions and mentioned again and again to avoid same problem for others.
I'm not sure how the other users solved this. Was it only by JTAG?
Thank you for your answer! :good:
First of all, there was no battery wipe option on this release of the kernel As I said before I have done it a couple of times in the past and every time with battery wipe, except this one and besides, I already tried your solution with my friends battery with no luck... So probably I am looking for another solution.
And one last thing about your post, what is "JTAG"?? I have seen it on other posts before but without explanation as to what it is, the only JTAG I know of is on the xbox360 And if its a possible solution how can I possibly do it? Is there a post with instructions?? (I will search on my own too now, but a recommended guide from someone who knows better is much appreciated!)

I'm pretty sure he flashed the x10blrelock.ftf instead of the u20 kernel and that is why his phone went dead.
A JTAG for our phone will do basically the same thing as a JTAG for the xbox, it restores original phone-state, but you need special equipment to do it, which is quite expensive. Most repair-shops will have one.

Thank you for the answer about jtag, I also checked for myself and found about the expensive equipment and propably its not the way for me
But about the kernel I am pretty sure it was the right file...
I know that a dead phone means bad kernel but its a process that I have done before a lot of times with success on mine and other phones My best guess is that something interrupted the process (bad usb cable?) or corrupted downloaded kernel file If that's the case is there an alternative solution? :crying:

Usually, whatever you flash, even if it goes bad, flashmode is still available because that doesn't get tampered with, the only true hardbrick i've ever seen is when flashing that x10blrelock.ftf, which happens quite a lot lately.
Just for fun i even formatted my entire phone once, no kernel, no rom, completely empty, and flashmode was still there so it could be recovered.
I noticed that in some older versions of flashtool you sometimes had to click the kernel you wanted twice in order to get it to pick up the right one. Normally there's not much difference you can spot (most .ftf's just contain a loader and a kernel), but i had full SE firmware in .ftf format, which contained other sections too, and that's where i noticed it didn't always pick it up right at the first time of clicking.

hi guys, i have the same problem too, when my rom is minicm10 and my kernel is jb-naa-05, i want to go back to MiniCM7 because of green screen camera in MiniCM10 so i go back to MiniCM7, I flashed the right kernel e10-2.6.29.6-naa-14 for my x10 mini via flashtool and after i flash the kernel, my phone does not booting up(5 mins no booting up) so i decided to use seus but seus does not recognize my x10 mini, i try flashtool, but flashtool is not recognize my x10 mini so i tried to flash my created stock 2.1.ftf(thanks to leajian) and selected x10 mini from device selection(my x10 mini is not recognize in flashtool), then i wait until it finish, when i tried to open my phone, it boots up and show sony ericsson logo and it boots up(sucess!!!)...
sorry for my english...
so for all MiniCM10 Users, Dont try to go back to MiniCM7 If your Rom is MiniCM10 because it will cause your phone to not booting up like my problem.

If you follow nAa's instructions properly, there is no problem.
What you have to do:
Wipe data/factory reset in CWM on the JB-kernel
Flash the GB-kernel
Format /system, /data en /cache, so they get back to the original sizes
Flash the GB-ROM, or restore a previous GB-backup you may have had
No problems at all...
And your phone still had flashmode available, unlike the OP of this thread, so you don't have the 'same' problem
