Hey Guys!!
Ok, so I;ve been googling and searching for hours and hours and I'm still unsure as of what to do.
I have already updated an X10mini e10a successfully using xrecovery and flashing with binary's flashtool.
My oproblem is with another phone, same model same country etc.
I cannot update the firmware etc and baseband here using seus, so I tried to flash using flashtool. Device is rooted and had xrecovery installed.
THen it went wrong. I tried to update the baseband with flashtool and I had forgotten that I had not reinstalled xrecovery on the new generic rom.
I aslo managed to select the wrong update for flashing and now the boot is stuck in the famous bootloop. It actually arrives at the lock screen, but then crashes after 20 seconds.
The problem is that I can;t boot into recovery mode. Flashtool allows me to gain root access and even push apk files to the device before it reboots again.
I tried to install xrecovery from the menu using flashtool but it says restarting device in recovery but does not.
SEUS does not help me at all, it says there are no new up0dates, and when I try to recover, I get an error after the download has finsihed.
If I try to flash a generic firmware (the original one that i had already successfully installed before the screwup), flashtool tells me that I need to go into the device and enable usb debugging, which of course I cannot.
Is there a way I can do this in adb? How would this be performed? Would i just push a zip or are there a whole list of commands to do. I can;t seem to find a guide in the forums that applies to me.
Thanks guys!!
Get seus to the point where it sais turn off and hold back button while connecting the USB cable.
Then instead of turning it off, just press home+power button at the same time to reboot the device then release and try to get it right with the back button and pushing in the usb cable. Easy!
Might have to give it a few tries, I made it on my second try the first time I needed to do it
It's not a problem of getting the phone into service/flash mode, I have been doing it this way with no problem. SEUS just says I have the most up to date software, and pc suite gives an error when trying to repair.
I woul update with flashtool, but it tells me to turn on usb debugging which i obviously can't do.
Thanks for the help though, I only found out about the 3finger reboot earlier today. Had been removing the battery cable!!
I got that, but with SEUS i just press install anyways so I don´t get it really.. try removing cache on the SEUS program, maybe that helps
Done that too no joy either.
Im now completely out of ideas
did you try to install xrecovery from ADB Mask Controller?i dont know if its possible without usb debugging but give it a try or try to push files manualy if you can

I haven't tried that, I did a backup of the vanilla os before i flashed the rom so if it works I should be able to revert to vanilla again.
How would I go about doing this?
take a look here, is the app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868423
try to see if you can connect on your phone
I tried thap program, looks like I could have a lot of fun with it on my working x10mini!!!
It does not connect to my other mini. Flash mode gives no device connected, and when it starts to load, I can connect but only until the device restarts itself, I cannot push apks either as there is not enough time, or they just fail, and although I can install busybox, it always tells me it is not installed, nor is root. I think this might be because the superuser apk must be asking me a question, but as the lock screen crashes on boot, I am unable to access it to allow access.
Driving me crazy.
I think my last hope is to flash with adb, but i have no idea to do that.
Is there a way to install xrecovery e10a by adb? How would I do this?
If this works I can just restore my old image and start from the beginning again
Would I use sin files, or would I use

Do you have install SEUS? Maybe you need install drivers from seus...
Sent from my X10 using XDA App
First Install SESU then install flash tools
connect phone and let it install drivers automatically..
restart system, then install flash tools.
most important thing is you must keep USB debugging mode on in phone..
its in Setting->application->development....
if everything is done well, flash tool will work properly.....
if not then please check yor processess in taskmanager, you must have running adb.exe ........
thanks both very much for your help, where do i download the sues driver from?
Just install Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) from their web site and you will get the drivers that you need
I'm helping my friend here
He did a full wipe on his X10, and now, his phone cannot boot, and neither can it enter recovery. My Mac can't even detect it(adb and fastboot cannot detect it).
Help :/

Repair it using PCCompanion
Adding to that, you may also find it easier to do it on a windows-based pc.
This is caused by did the full wipe and then reboot the phone. At this time, there is no system files in the phone so it won't boot. Need to repair using PC Companion or SEUS or Flash Tool.

Hi,I am this friend who cleverly full wiped with xRecovery.However, my windows7 computer still cant detect my phone,and proves to be a problem.Anyone can help me by giving me a step by step in getting my phone back into flashable mode? or help fix this?
Same kind of problem here with a friend's phone I usualy use a htc desire.
He updated hi X10i (stock, not rooted), since then there's no boot, only exclamation mark for a few secs, and no usb.
I tried "<="+usb/power on -> exclamation mark, no recovery.
It's not detected in any way by my pc (installed sony tools etc...), windows or linux (no kernel message at all), same usb port, same cable, my htc phone works in both.
What can I do ?
Thanks !
You have to connect the phone in flashmode...
Use the link "How to use PC Companion" in my signature
I had the same problem a while ago. Phone not detected by PCC/flashtool, SEUS, no xrecovery... started to panic
Then i read a post here somewhere about wotansever - its free but you gotta sign up.
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/
It detected my phone where all others failed and flashed it back to stock rom.
Try it - it works
Once you get it working again heres a great guide for flashtool (flashing/rooting/BL unlocking)

Thank you, i read a little about this but i'm affraid my problem is "before" any software since my phone is not detected by my system, neither running windows 7 nor linux.
It does not turn on when pushing "<-" and pluging usb.

hey i tried to installed the rom you are currently using and i have my bootloader locked and when i was promted to setup the installation the touch on my phone was not responding and it seems that i just clicked on next and also appears that because of that my phone not is just stuck at logo, hope you can give a tip on how to instal this rom
I've flashed a few different roms (trying to get around this), and i can't get flashtool (latest version, just downloaded yesterday) to recognize that my phone is in debugging mode. it flashes fine, no issues, then i disconnect, restart the phone, turn on USB debugging and allow non-market apps.
then i reconnect, and flashtool always says debugging is off, when the phone says debugging is on. i turn off the phone, and reconnect while it's booting, and i get the same result. i can flash all i want, but i can't get flashtool to root the phone, or install xrecovery.
i've searched, and can't find a solution. any ideas?
- Trying Open Flashtool with the phone connected.
- Uninstall flashtool and install an old version of the program
- if does not work, change the cable (I've had a similar problem, I bought a new cable...)
Same issue found my solution
Hey I had the exact same issue but I found a solution.
My device is SE x10i 2.3.3 Generic
What I did was accidental.
I tried the old method of routing gingerbread which was too downgrade using "X10_aZuZu_Kernel_Downgrade_Generic.ftf"
but wat I also did was extract the load & kernal from the original ftf that I used to flash my phone with in the first place and put them into their own bundle so I could restore them.
After Flashing with the aZuZu downgrade
I disconnected the phone and turned it on it was stuck at the load screen where it says Sony Ericsson so I connected it again and my pc started downloading drivers.
But I installed the SEMC USB driver in the first place so I was wounder wth was goin on.
It turns out that in order for this to run smoothly you must make sure ALL DRIVERS are installed I personnally thought there was only one driver lol.
So you need to download the SEMC MASS STORAGE driver and 2 others (can't remember the names) perhaps the easiest way would be to just install the latest pc companion not sure but anyways this worked for me.
hope this helps
Hello guys, i'm going directly to the point. I was trying to root my mini pro and succeeded, buy i screwed up my build.prop and the phone is in a reboot loop. I spend the afternoon trying to find solutions but cant seem to fix it, this is what i tried:
- adb cant recognise the device
- I didnt install any recovery tool
- SEUS wont let me restore (it says that i have the lastest version and wont give any option to force it)
- PC Companion does something similar to SEUS
- Can't flash it and restore, i didin't unlock the bootloader, and i need adb to do it.
Anyone can help? Maybe i'm missing something when trying to use adb? maybe there is another more obscure way to unlock the bootloader without using "msm7227_semc.cmd"?
Thanks in advance...
EDIT: By the way, i made a copy of build.prop before toying around, so i know is there...

flashtools and the firmware used in chavitorg and proceeds to flash the device, if not enter flash mode press the three keys on the mini but the power button with the cable connected to PC, and you will recognize the flash mode.

Thanks for the help, but i cant seem to find the word "chavitorg" or with b or anithing similar, not in google, not in xda. I doesn't look like a misspelling on any of the guys that post tutorials or flashes.
SEUS, PCC and flashtools already recognizes the device in flash with down volume alone, and the device has 4 keys + power, not 3 (vol+ vol- home and camera)

Seus or pc companion

Can you upload a working link for chavitorg's baseband please?
Hey guys,
So I wanted to try out the newest CM12 ROM with A5.0 but seems like it didnt exactly happen how I wanted it. Rooting the device and then installing the XZDualRecovery without a problem. Then downloaded the ROM and gapps.
I have SGP311 (pollux_windy) so I downloaded that version of the CM12 at first. It said that my device is pollux, which I ofc was dumb enough to just skip and download the pollux ver and then install that one. So I installed the pollux ver instead of pollux_windy and when I hit restart device I didnt see it boot again.
So I wanted to connect it to my PC, PC didnt recognize it ofc. Only way my PC regonizes my tab is by fastboot mode. I had to install a driver for that. And even then only the Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde recognised it. I run into bootloop various times before with my tab and Emma always fixed it but thats unfortunately not the case here as Emma doesnt recognise it either :/
So now here's the problem, I can only do fastboot mode (not flashmode) and the only program able to do sth with my device is this Sony Mobile Flasher. I downloaded a official FW there and wanted to install it but it required me to go into the flashmode which I can't.
Is there sth I can do? The only thing working is the LED and fastboot mode.
Is there a way to put the device into flashmode via PC, that would solve all issues or maybe a trick to go into flashmode? As there was some thread about it but the thing they did didnt work for me :/
Please help
Thanks in advance
Nevermind, I just forgot how to use Emma....
For anyone to whom this happens:
Computer: Open Emma from the Start menu of your computer.
Connect a USB cable to your computer.
Phone: Turn off your tab.
Connect your tab to the USB cable while holding the VOLUME DOWN.
Computer: Select the software you want to flash in the Service list. The tool automatically detects the tab and lists available software versions, which are called Services in this flash tool.
Click on Apply Service. The tab will now be flashed.
Phone: When you have flashed your device, you can disconnect your phone from the computer. The first time you start your device after you have flashed it, the boot-up might take a little longer than normal.
