Hello dear xda users.
Today since 1-2 hours ago something terrible happened. My X10i .. keeps rebooting at the "Sony Ericsson" startup.
History:
I updated to 2.2 Beta 4, but I forgot to update the kernel so the phone kept rebooting, but not at startup, only after a couple of minutes.
I flashed to the required kernel, but decided to go back to Beta 3 instead, and the same problem occured here too, also that the wifi and mobile network were out of function.
And I remembered that I had made an backup of my original version with xRecovery, so I restored the phone and tried to switch back to Beta 3 and this is when the **** happened..
Am I screwed?
Stuffs Ive tried:
* Flash the version back (cannot enter flash mode anymore) = fail
* Tried to make a factory reset through PC Companion (cannot enter flash mode) = fail
I need help guys, this phone is only 2 weeks old. I just want to cry, dunno what to do
Bump! No one?
Also tried to pull out battery while the phone connected with usb, pressing back key and inserting key.
I have a thought, maybe its that my phone isnt being recognized by the computer due to problem with USB drivers. Does any1 know how I can manually install it?

Don't worry i know what to do.
First download PC companion on computer. Then install drivers on computer. After that open PC companion and click Update phone on Support zone. You will see a window witch will ask you if you want to restore your phone. When computer will be ready for restoring your device plug in your phone into computer via usb, hold home and power button until your phone turn off and quickly press and HOLD back button(if your phone is on). If it is not, just press back button and THEN plug it to computer KEEPING holding back button. After restoring you will have a new x10 mini=). Good luck.
P.S. sorry for my bad English

restore your phone via SEUS from pc companion it will revert your kernel to stock and install the stock rom
Don't worry, I did the same thing the first time I tried to install Zombie Panic. Download the Sony Ercisson Update Service from here, insatll it on your PC and follow the instructions to install (even if it says you have the latest version). It'll take you back to Stock ROM and your phone will boot.
but.. PC Companion can find my phone but it wants to connect it in Android (and i cant go to android) so... :/

you should start the update process while the phone is disconnected and press repair then when asked connect the phone while you are pressing the back key to connect via flash mode.
Wait.. but i choose the reprair phone option and now it trying to reprair it, i just believe, at this will save my phone

well the only way to remove the battery of x10 mini is to disassemble it so send it for repair is better.

Prepare SEUS on repair mode, until message to connect phone.
Press and hold power button, then press home button (don't release power button) and wait phone off. press and hold back button then connect the usb cable.
thank you!!!!you saved my phone~! Now can install mCM7.... thank you!!!
I was tryin to install MiniCM7 and during my noobish attempt I pretty much deleted everything on my phone. Factory reset and such. And I attempted to fix by rebooting the phone but now all I get is the Sony Ericsson Logo and when I try to turn the damned thing off it turns back on. I tried SEUS but even after quickly hitting back and plugin the usb cable after Home+Back+Power no dice. Can anybody out there help this desperate noob soul :c
Cant you pull out the battery connector underneath the rubber bit next to the camera to turn it off??

Battery Disconnected What now?
Hello.
I have a problem. Shortly:
I've installed a new rom, aAn's CM7mod, i think the v2.2, because i couldn't get the tethering work with the other rom. Okay, CWM recovery, install, reboot.. Then for one week was stuck at Sony Ericsson logo, i tried to take out the battery even for 2 days, everything, but still stucked.
Now i tried the flashtool, disconnect the phone, take out the battery, then put it back, press back button, connect usb, green led appears, 5 secs and the phone starts, exits the flashmod. So i cannot get into the flash mode, to make a recovery.
Pls give me advice. Thanks.

no, i didn't... how were you thinking of making a recovery in flashtool then?
well, this would be my question. what can I do? cannot get in the flashmod more than 4-5 seconds, because the phone is starting, and getting stucked at SE logo.

Do you have the kernel you need for the ROM you flashed?
Anyway, if you start up PC Companion or SEUS with the phone disconnected and choose update, it will give you a repair option. choose that, select your phone-model, it will download the firmware for it and ask you to connect your phone flashmode. It doesn't need flashmode for very long, it will connect within a couple of seconds. once the popup-dialog disappears jsut leave your phone alone and you will be back on stock firmware.
Thanks will try that, than im comeing with the news..

You can try to enter flashmode by pressing HOME and POWER button at the same time, that will give it a hard reboot. As soon as the screen goes black (backlight off too), press the back-button. Do this with the usb-cable already attached to your phone and your pc. Ofcourse you do this only when flashtool or SEUS/PC Companion show you the popup to connect your phone in flashmode.
I had the same problem with my E10i, and that home+power than back b. combo helped! :good:
My cell was stucked on bootlogo, but in E10i (X10mini) you couln't pull out the battery just like that, so if you whant to SEUS repair your phone, you must have the phone turned of completly, but i couldn't do that. So i start SEUS whait till i get to the point when he whant your phone connected, then i press home+power button, managed somehow to plug in USB c. than press the back button and releas the home+power buttons. The rest is history...seus recognize the phone...download the files...and repair my phone.
Good luck mate! Try it! :fingers-crossed:
Okay, i've made it.
Shortly, the 1rst problem was the windows 8, ive reinstalld the 7th and SEUS on it, then easily selected the phonetype from the list, than holding back button, than connecting the cable, easy light clean install and thats it.
Thanks guys.

Don't destroy it!!
With the following procedure you'll unbrick the phone but unfortunately you will lose all data stored there (the sdcard is not affected though!).
0) Physically disconnect the phone from the USB (if it's connected) and turn it off (remove the battery if it's stuck).
1) Go to Google, search for "Sony Ericsson Update Service" (SEUS) and download it. (I can't post links because I don't have 10 posts yet..)
2) Install SEUS and start it up. It will update itself on first start.
3) Once SEUS is done updating itself, click on "I hereby accept the license agreement" and then click on "Start".
4) Select your phone from the list and then click "Next".
5) While the phone is turned off, press the back button (ONLY!) and keep it pressed.
6) While keeping the back key pressed, connect the phone to the computer (USB).
7) Don't let go from the back button unless SEUS tells you to.
8) Once SEUS detects your phone, click on "Install". Click "Yes" to let it start the flashing process.
9) Wait for SEUS to finish. Do NOT remove the USB from the phone unless the process is completed (it might take a while for it to download the rom and flash it onto the phone).
10) Once SEUS is finished, remove the phone from the USB and start it up (it might take a while to start up).
It will be running on stock 2.1 Eclair ROM, with stock kernel (no root, no cwm/recovery). As good as new!
Please post back with results! Don't destroy the poor thing!
Brick
Hi,
I've installed JB ROM and wanted to rollback.
But now, after hundreds of tries, I can´t install stock KERNEL/ROM. It's a complete brick.
Using SEUS, I get the message that my phone is already updated.
HELP

Look again and you will notice that SEUS gives you the option to proceed anyway.
Just press the button and the process will go on...
Solved
Well, I don't know if SEUS will continue or not.
After some ours trying, I've managed to solve it.
I had to download a stock kernel/ROM and flash it with flashtool. Wasn't easy cause I couldn't find a suitable one. I had to create it.
It's 200mb. If someone wants it, tell me how to post it.
