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
I'm helping my friend here

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...

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)

You dont know which rom?...
OK, repair with pccompanion
Not much more advice can be given with scant information like that
do you want to record a video and upload ?
i am uploading a video and the rom that i was using was 2.1 oficial with xrecovery root etc.
My advice remains the same..use pccompanion to repair your phone.
Download it, instal it, run it...it will sort you out.

Hi mate, i think i can help you.
1. Go google search for "Sony Ericsson Update Service" (SEUS) and install it.
2. Run the program,accept the terms and conditions,and select your device.
3. Now turn off your phone,if you stucked then remove your battery and place it back.
4. Press and hold back key then plug in the USB cable and conect to PC/Laptop.The direction is on the screen.
5. If the program detects your phone,then now wait and allow program to search for update.
6. If it says that your phone have the latest firmware installed, just continue and click Install.
7. Now wait for the program to download the firmware and wait to be installed.
8. After complete of install firmware, The program will ask you to disconnect cable and turn on your phone.
9. First boot may takes longer time and
Done! Your factory state X10.
Go on again to root/unlock and anything. ;D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the program cannot detect your phone,
download the Flashtool from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
and download also the firmware file(in .ftf format)
the flash it with flashtool
Give me a THanks if i helped you out
6.
I saw your video
First you are holding BACK button & and then your plug in usb, right?
I tried everything with flashtool with adb commands with flash tool and nothing should i open and do something at usb port ?
Can i get the xrecovery back ? for unbrick it with deamon guide ?
when you connected the USB cable did you already have the back button pressed or not? I could not see that from the video...
Run seus or pccompanion...hold the back button and then plug in USB

Yes...use pccompanion and repair phone then use flashtool to reroot and install xrecovery, the whole process will take about 15-20 minutes depending on your download speed for pccompanion....

Run pccompanion.
attach phone to pc in normal mode
click on start in support zone
click on start in next window
Let it check your phone
click on repair
follow the instructions
If it doesnt work on pccomapnaion download seus and try that.
If it still doesnt work, uninstall pccompanion and seus, reboot pc, redownload and install them and try again.
also, you can goto to the driver folder in the flashtool folder and run ggsetup to install drivers on the pc
let me know how that works, because if that doesnt then you have a hardware fault on your phone, not a software problem
do i have a broken usb port ?

Are you reffering to MTP?
What you you done before getting this issue?

Thanks for responses, frankly I don't know what happend to it, it came to me already broken, trying to flash but it won't enter it in msc mode (@ puppet13th: yes, I was reffering to mtp), and I don't know how to switch to msc because it doesn't boot. Thanks a lot for your help
Is there a way to switch it to msc with adb push or something? Anyone can help me?

Enter flashmode for flashtool
Hey....i don't think you need to switch it to MSC mode for flashing.... did you try to enter flashmode by holding "Volume down" button while inserting the USB cable into the phone ? Are you trying to flash it via Flashtool ( it is the easiest way ) ?

Yes, I tried to flash it with flashtool, but it won't recognize the phone, holding volume down while inserting usb, and the mini led light up orange, so... what else can I do? .. thanks
Did You switch the phone off before that?
Procedure is:
1) Switch off the phone (remove battery if needed)
2) Press "volume down" and hold
3) Put he USB cable in.
Do You see driver installation dialog running in windows? wait until it finishes.
4) Start the flashtool
5) Flash the ROM.
Yes, I did exactly the same, but it doesn't install the drivers
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
Then You need to install either Sony PC companion or form the Sony develeoper site the proper drivers.
Sony PC Companion You find here
Pc companion will install all the SE xperia drivers You need.

You have drivers in Flashtool folder under : \flashtool\drivers install them , and accept all of the installation requests by Windows . Or install official drivers from Sony or from Google's SDK source .
:Flash a new kernel via FASTBOOT and install a rom or reflash the firmware with wotan client that worked for me

I did it like this: connect phone in fastboot mode, then i installed the drivers manually when this is not working plug out your phone install PDA net on your computer, connect your phone in fast boot mode and the program will install the drivers
Sorry for my bad english
when you plug in your usb while holding volume down key the led should be green not orange.
green led means the phone is in flashmode.

hi this not help ,any idea?
This may help you 90%... just try it
I also have bricked up my Xperia Neo V
I tried many tools but no one helped.....
Finally I got back my bricked phone back by doing following things....
download all the needed things you need to update phone with wotan X tool unlock, you will need
1. X_Unlock_Tool_Setup_Wotan
2. WotanClient
3. USBFlashDriver
you can get all these from wotan website.
also create an account on wotan website. NO NEED TO BUY ANY CREDITS
install all above mentioned tools.
then run X UNLOCK TOOL
then follow on screen instructions untill you get an error that you don't have sufficient credits.
NOTE THAT NOW YOUR PHONE HAS GOT A SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE FROM THIS TOOL. BUT THE POSITIVE ASPECT IS THAT YOU CAN NOW FLASH ANY ftf FILE USING FLASH TOOL. SIM LOCK WILL BE REMOVED AFTER THE WHOLE PROCESS.
now flash the desired firmware on your phone.
power up your phone
if it power ups successfully, then your phone will not detect your SIM card.
finally use S1 tool to remove SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE.
CLICK THANKS IF IT WORKS
BEST OF LUCK

I am using an Unlocked Bootloader Xperia Ray and it got bricked when I tried to flash in Cyanogen mod 7 for Xperia Ray...
Now I am trying to flash stock roms using Flashtool but it is requiring me to be in Flasmode which obviously I can't do it. I have done the steps but it wont recognize my phone.
I am also trying to figure how to flash a kernel but every kernel that I download comes in an *.img format but FLASH TOOLs require FTF file to flash the kernel.. how can I do it?

Once you connect your phone via usb and while you are pressing volume up button, on windows go start-> right click on computer->devices manager. Now you should see your device. Right click and install drivers manually from the folder of the drivers you downloaded.
Notice that you have to be fast since and that maybe you will have to repeat this procedure several times since firsts times phone remains on fastboot for really few seconds.
You can also try another way. Download and install latest flashtool. After that go to Computer-> C:/-> Flashtool-> Drivers-> run Flashtool-drivers. Install the drivers for your device.
