after download firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825664
Ok im downloading the flashtool and e10a firm, but in the last time i got a UPDATE OF 15 hours, its normal to flash the phone got that time?
I succesful flash the phone, but now, i cant go to the flash mode, and the phone now completely dont turn on, only the red led flash 3 times, WTF? help
I also had the same problem . The red led flash three times because your phones battery is dead. So you plug in your phone with usb cable to the computer and let it remain for two or more hour . During this time the phone would not turn on and you can do nothing with your phone during this time. You will only see the red led . After two hours of charging disconnect and run seus and Follow the onscreen instruction. I followed the above mentioned procedure and I got my mini back .

Hi
i tried to downgrade my X10 mini pro to 1.6 with this guide :
X10 Mini Pro 1.6 for Flashtool(Step-by-Step Guide & Getting Your Local 2.1))
but it did not work.
Then i tried to flash a other 2.1 region with this guide:
X10 Mini Pro 2.1 incl. Flashtool (Updated: Regions 9.11.2010)
I got no errors during this or the first guide.
But when i try to turn on my phone now it just vibrates shortly and nothing happens.
And when i connect it to usb it seems, that it just goes straight into flash mode, but the green led is blinking (every 10 seconds)
So that i cannot flash a firmware because it disconnects from my pc every
10-15 seconds.
I hope there is a solution for my problem.
maybe some kind of hard reset?
im thankful for every answer....
ps. sorry but for some reason i cant write the links to the guides and sorry for my bad english
repair via seus .... after the update or flash phone take time to start so waitt for few minutes....
Thanks man,
you are my hero
i still dont understand why it stops disconnecting when i use seus but it worked and my phone is running again
I have managed to brick my X10 mini pro by trying to instal CWM Recovery, and now am stuck at SE logo screen.
So far i've tried:
1. Seus - it says my x10 mini pro is up to date and no update available
2. PC Companion - i tried the repair option, but in the end it doesn't let me repair
3. FlashTool - tryed flashing original kernel, new kernel, 1.6android kernel.... and after flashing it keeps getting me to reboot it, and activate debugging mode, which i can't because i'm still stuck at SE logo screen
4. Omnius - payed for a 1 day licence. I can flash it, but still nothing happens. I can't flash read my SE, and can't find any repair option in it...
Is there anything that can whipe it clean, and put the original stuff back again? Or any other solution?
P.S. I can't turn of the screen, not even with home+backbutton+power, only if i get the battery out.
I never thought the repair option in PC Companion wouldn't work if i ever bricked my phone, but ... as I can see for myself it doesn't .
Thank you in advance... hope to get it running, even if it costs me some money
And once again seus ! But remeber seus is not pc companion
Hey there,
If you take out your battery for over a minute and then put it back in, it should stop trying to boot up.
Also, when u connect your phone to the computer while keeping the back button pressed, SEUS should be able to install stock software/firmware regardless of it's opinion that u already have the latest.
This thread is very detailed about unbricking your phone too --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040149 (helped me lots before as well)
and you might also wanna install the file added to this thread's openingspost --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030902
Goodluck with your phone
Here is something to repair your bootloader after a FOTA update and phone iIn the package you have flash tool and the files you need.
Just unzip to a folder and then use flash tools.
The needed files are in the right folders.
After this you should have your phone fully back for a fresh rom install.
Use wotanserver to flash a full custom rom of your choice.

it exactly for these files
is compatible with other firmware?
file (Xperia_2011_Range_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf) that function does?, I think that fixes an error
for all xperia range
Please can you explain better for neophytes, as I understand many do not
There´s not much to explain, this .sin and ftf files repair the damage bootloader and the trim area.
If you ´re unable to start phone after a fota update with unlocked bootloader.
Just plug the phone and connect it pressing back button in your xperia neo and press flash on the flashtool. And voila you have you phone live again.
Thanks, now if I understand it, since I have opened the bootloader release your contribution if you ever need it
regards
TNX
It works!!! TY!!!
It´s good to be helpfull man, fota brick is a serious issue. I´m glad to share this. Don´t forget to click on thanks buttom.
Thank you very much for this. It helped me to restore my brothers Neo that got screw-up after unsuccessful FOTA update.
Tried it on my MT15i NEO that got bricked after FOTA yesterday, but doesn't work for me.
I managed to get the 2 files flashed, after, i use wotan to restore latest firmware.
When I try to turn the phone on after this process, only red led flashes 3 times.
SEUS and SE Companion tells me I have software that isn't updatable.
Any other idea's to get my phone back alive?

If you flash the files and wotan recognises your phone and flash´t then your phone is ok.
Try to flash´t first with any 2.3.2 stock rom.
Just used wotan to flash 2.3.2 - 3.0.A.2.181 ROM, but problem stays the same.
After pressing the power button, only the led flashes red 3 times and nothing else happens.
Starting in flash programming mode is difficult too(the back button while connecting the USB). I guess 1 time in 50 tries I get a green led and flashing begins, other times it's just a quick red blink and unrecognised USB device.
I can't access the fastboot blue led mode anymore too (holding menu while connecting USB)
Are there some other options that I can try?
Edit:
Finally got it working after leaving the phone alone to the laptop for half an hour.. Phone just started to boot out of itself.. Very slowly.. it stayed on the SE boot logo for about 5 minutes. After restart and upgrade to latest stock with companion; it works okay again.
Thanks for helping me out!
I´m glad your phone is back, try to update it normally now to 2.3.4 and see if the blue lite is back.
Give us here in forum your feedback because this may be helpfull to other users.
I updated to 2.3.4 with SE companion software already and all seems to work okay!
Just tested the blue led/fast boot mode and it works again too.
This is the first and last time i'll do a FOTA upgrade without reading the forum!
Thanks again

I installed a Rom that went wrong and had to use flashmode with sony's update program, not sure how it's called these days. I if you install that and plug it into the pc holding down the Back button, it recognizes it and will all you what you want to do. Select restore (or something similar). It'll restore it back to 2.3.3. After that you can install xRecovery again with flash tool.
Be aware that this worked for my semi bricked X10i, no guarantee it'll work for you ofcourse.......good luck

You only get that message when you plug in the phone too early
Update>repair>select x10i>then press continue etc>THEN connect phone.
And run stuff as administrator if you got w7.

Hi
To start with, I'm a complete noob so sorry about that.
I got an x10 mini pro last year for my birthday. I don't remember the android version it came with but somewhere during the beginning of this year, I updated my phone to android 2.3.4 running on firmware was .62
Anyway, the phone comes with pre installed bloatware and the new update stuff like the 3d camera (which I never use and don't want)
So, I set about the scary task of rooting my phone. I tried z4root and superoneclick. They didn't work so I used Flash Tool 0.7.1.0.
I did a lot of reading and spend a lot of time going through tutorials before starting.
First, I flashed .42 firmware on the phone.
The log said that it was flashed successfully. I tried rebooting the phone but it gets stuck. The screen shows "Sony Ericsson" (the text) and it dissolves into blue color. Then it loops again. So I guess it's bricked?
PC companion doesn't read the phone so I can't use that.
I tried using SE update but it gives me an error message (I'm on Windows 8 so it could be the Java)
Flash Tool doesn't recognize the phone anyway.
I can't enter flashmode or fastboot mode.
Half of me wants to throw this phone against the wall but the other half of me just wants to fix this.
HELP?????
Edit: OK, now it won't even go to the boot screen. Its completely dead. When I press the power button, it vibrates but the screen is black. No LED light either.
Well i had bricked my phone too.
It was sawing sony and sony again and again.
It wasnt recognized by seus or PCC either but flashtool could detect it at least.
And Just a question your phone stopped working out of nowhere? i mean not even the led would light?
You did something. didnt you?
edit:
After i research i found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455
Let me remind you a thing.
You have to keep holding back and then connect your phone with the PC.
EDIT AGAIN:
try uninstalling every single app wich interacts with your mobile also uninstall all the drivers in your computer for your phone and then reinstall flashtool and install all the drivers (for me it worked once... i dont know why but th drivers where not working correctly) from flashtool
