Hi guys,
My girlfriend just got a new phone so I gave her old X10 mini to my moms. But í flashed cyanogenmod 6 first. This caused some serious issues: The phone wouldn't turn on - only when pressing home+power combination, the phone but eventually turn on.. but sometimes I had to do it many times and plug usb-charger in and out, etc. Very weird.
Today i flashe stock rom via SEUS and the issue is STILL present. Argh. I found out how to turn it on though:
When powered off, i first press the power-button once, till it gives a little vibration. I then press the power-button for a couple of seconds and then release it, then I press back-button and it powers on. WTF?!
Isn't that weird as hell? Is it a damaged bootloader and if so, how do I fix this when SEUS didn't do it?
Also I should mention that the little reset-button has gone.. it disappeared under the phone when I pressed it before og after flashing CM (can't remember). Could this cause this weird issue?
Thanks in advance, from me and my mom
EDIT: It seems that X10 mini (and pro) has a bug with some sim-cards... It works with no simcard inserted. I'll try another simcard in a moment. Jeez..
jesus... even if I choose reboot from xrecovery, it does that stupid thing where it kind a locks itselfs...

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my x10 mini pro. There are some similar posts here but nobody exactly describe what is happening to me. So my problem:
One day i have been in subway, phone working properly everything fine. THan suddenly 3G icon has disappear and wouldnt go back. So i decided to restart the device. But since i turned it off, i cannot turn it back on again...
I have tried to take out the simcard, take out mempory card, multiple time reflash by SEUS but still cannot turn it on.
I cna charge the phone with no problem, i can flash it with no problem, but i cannot use it at all.
When i press power button, phone shortly vibrate as he is turning on, than display get a bit brighter (not white, just lights up its easy to notice from profile). and than after few seconds get black again. And like this it continue until it drains battery, only without vibrating. every cca 5 seconds display light up and than get black again. So i guess its rebooting all the time. I have tried all tricks like pressing power+home button, still nothing.
I think i just need really wipe out the whole phone and flash it again. Is it possible somehow? I feel like reflashing by SEUS is not real hardcore flash, is there anything stronger i can try?
I am willing to try anything if anybody has an idea, since its not working anyway so i dont care what i try.
Thanks for advices !
my Xperia X10 was freezing up so I turned it off and it suddenly stopped working and now will not turn on.
I unplug the battery and hold down the power on button although the red led flashes. I've had it in the charger although nothing is happening.
What is the problem, the battery wasn't dead when I was using it and it was working perfectly fine before this.
What's wrong and how can I fix it.
thanks
EDIT:
I took out the battery and put it back in and I held down the power button and it vibrates but nothing happens.
What;s wrong??
tell me more about your problem recently you change the rom of your x10 or something? maybe you can try make a restore with flashtool
P.D sorry if i have a bad orthography but i don´t know speak in english so good
Try pull battery out for at least 30s. After that put battery back and start ur phone.

this problem already met other people, flash the firmware can help you (by SEUS or FlashTool)
Try to remove sim-card first, then put the battery back into the phone, then press power button again. After that, u can turn off the phone and put the sim back in, then turn the phone on again.
My XPERIA x10a has had the same problem. You can reflash it with 2.1 ROM using SEUS but the problem ***will definitely happen again***.
This is I believe 100th thread about this.
1) search before post
2) pull the battery off, open SEUS and reflash/repair your phone.
Hi guys, Today my X10 black running on android 2.1 firmware suddenly dead. I was on a call and suddenly the touchscreen is not responding at all. I can not get it to silde to unlock or what so ever. I've tried take out the battery to turn it off and put it back to turn on and tired to Put it on computer with the sony software to repair it. But none of those works. The touch screen seems to respond once after i touch it a thirty or forthy times. But still i have no way to silde to unlock the phone. Is that means my phone is brick or just the touch screen is broken i have to buy a new one to replace it? anyone has the same problem and any solution for it?
If you can try booting into recovery turn phone off then on while holding the vol up down keys see I'f you load in If you do then use volume keys to navigate and do a restore

I just tired your way, but the point is i can not use my touch screen, i have no way to turn off the phone. WHen i press the power button it shows me the turn off phone option, since the phone is locked, no matter how many times i press it still not respond to me at all. I can't get phone into recovery mode. The only way to turn it off is by take out the battery. THanks anyway.
So.. take out the battery and try to boot it up in recovery mode.
Still got not luck. Its not working
When you've pulled the battery.. and you re-insert it and try SEUS...
Are you holding the back button whilst you insert the USB cable? (at the prompt when SEUS tells you too)??
Your other option would be to download flashtool from here and try to install a ROM that way (also uses the "Flash mode" boot up..)
"When you've pulled the battery.. and you re-insert it and try SEUS...

I did this, tried 2 times it gives me a fresh firmware after i install it, But the result is the same. When my phone started up, it ask me to change language, and no where how I touch it just rarely responds to my touch. Just like the touch screen is not responding it. But it super rarely respond once after thirty keep continoues touches.
If new firmware isn't helping its probably a loose connection or worst case a bad component. Might warranty if its covered. If you don't still have warranty you might try disassembling it and checking connections. Someone just posted a video on x10 tear down. Was it dropped at any point?

This sounds exactly like the way my screen is behaving. Did you ever find a solution?
Well, just a couple minutes ago, my x10 mini died. I was using it normally, without overheating, not overclocked..., just undervolted! I've got for 14 months, and since last 12 i've got the bootloader unlocked and nAa kernel with MiniCM 2.X... A couple of weeks ago I installed ArcMini rom without problems! Yesterday night I tried to turn off WiFi from the statusbar button, but the light under the icon kept half turned on (sorry for my english :S)... I didn't though it was a problem, but a couple of minutes ago, i tried to turn on an it didn't respond!! so I restarted the phone with the power + home button, like some other times, but now it didn't turned on!!
Now, the led doesn't light up, doesn't vibrate, when I plug into a computer or AC, it does the same: nothing!! What happened?? what can I do?? Warranty is avoided since i unlocked the bootloader, isn't it?? :S
Thanks!!
look the same happend to me but with no custom firware i sent it on the sony ericsson repair store and they told me that the cpu was burned.They repaired my phone because it had warranty.I think yo should try to repair it with flashtool

I think, if his cpu is bust, repairing with flashtool is not an option, i think getting a new phone might be in order
y should try to make sure that the x10mini is dead before pull out the x10mini cover and with a pinch pull out a rubber cover next to the camera you should try to disconnect that connection an then reconnect it
try to take out the battery, and wait for a while, insert it again. try to turn it on.
if it doesnt work. try to wait longer, not more than 10 min.
if it doesnt work at all, I would like to try to flash it again with the flash tool.
That would be the very basic part of the phone. if the mode can not be actived (pressing the back on phone and plug to usb) by using flash tool. then you possibly facing a hardware problem.

So yesterday my phone started to act weird all of the sudden. I can't turn it on. When I plug it in, the red led lights up, then it changes to orange (or sometimes green). While that happens only the backlight works no sony logo etc. I can't enter any of the modes (volume up, or down) to try to flash the stock rom through flashtools. While it's plugged in this process happens in a loop. When I remove the charger it's just dead. When I press the red button where the sim is I get three short vibrations and nothing happens.
Anyone with an idea what can I do?
Really love this phone I'd be devastated if I had to change now.
Hi, just do the following: Download xperia companion, click on repair, then look for the option that goes like this "I cannot acces to my phone, phone not recognized" something like that, now let it finish.
About that, I forgot to mention I tried it already. Nothing happens in the process. Bootloop just goes on and on.

Did you try flashing the stock rom using the flashtool ?
I see you didn't read my first post.
Got it fixed! Wasn't a software, but a hardware issue. A thingy that connects the display to the board went kaboom and the replacement was rather cheap.
Just in case someone has similar behavior...
