I think my X10 Mini Pro is stuck in a boot loop, it just shows the CM logo and freezes.
What I did to get this was:
Updated from 1.6 - 2.1 via SE PC Companion (2.1.1 A.0.6)
SuperOneClicked it and got it rooted, with Superadmin etc
Installed xRecovery (was working fine)
Loaded a ROM for the X10 Mini and not the Pro (Did not know there was a difference - no warning on the ROM page by the creator), and installed the ROM zip via xRecovery, which just stays in a boot loop and never starts, most of the time it just freezes and I have to pull out the battery.
So I went searching and found this

So I downloaded Flashtools and the UK firmware (dyzzel)
Place the content of the firmware zip (and the zip itself, as I didnt know to extract or not) in the firmware folder of flashtools, then opened flashtools (2.8 and 2.9) click flash, where it asks me to find the firmwares but the browser doesnt show any files Ive put in that folder.
Thats as far as Ive got, need some help as Im cracking up.
Fixed now. SEUS.

Hi everyone
I really need your help guys, I'm desperate!! I wanted to upadate my x10 mini to froyobread following all the instructions.
1. I rooted the phone with SuperOneClick
2. I flashed it using FlashTool, and here is the problem: I used a different firmware (e15i_2.1.1.a.0.6_Nordic) <--- That's the firmware for Xperia X8. The flashing was succesful, but when it finished, the phone started rebooting over and over with only a blackscreen (no SE logo).
I've tried many ways to restore the phone, such as:
1- FlashTool with a firmware for x10 mini (The problem is I need to check "USB Debugging" inside the O.S., so I couldn't repair it this way.
2- I tried PC Companion and SEUS but when I follow the program steps it says "Your phone is up to date so no needs bla bla bla..."
I don't know what else to do... I'm frustrated and really hope you can help me guys.
Thank'u
SOLVED:
Finally I fixed the problem flashing with x10flash and 1.6 android firmware (it's called "E10i_1.6 1.2.A.1.174 406.7z"). (x10flash isn't the same as Flashtool, so if you wanna recover to life your phone, you must use x10flash)
I put the rar files of the firmware 1.6 inside the "firmware" folder from "X10Flash-2.1" and then I flashed with the X10flash.bat file.
After that, when te x10flash.bat was opened, I select number "2" and then "N". Next, you have to select your operative system. (win xp, vista, 7, etc)
Finally, you can install the rom or baseband whatever you want.
(I can't put the links 'cos I'm a new member, but you can google them)
- E10i_1.6 1.2.A.1.174 406.7z
- x10Flash
I hope this helps.
Do you still have that files? I am unable to download that files . I have googled them but links have expired.
Thanks.
I kind of brick my Xperia x10 (I know it's not called brick). I did root, install xRecovery and after that went straight away to install a new custom ROM. When I reboot the x10 just got blocked with the SE logo.
I tried SEUS, and didn't work saying that I've got the last update. I'm trying flashtool now, but my problem is, that now after 10 seconds it changes from flash mode to SE logo, and I can't do anything else...
Please, I really need help, I'm totally a noobie
This is the log from Flashtool:
11/059/2012 17:59:42 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
11/000/2012 18:00:03 - INFO - Device disconnected
11/000/2012 18:00:03 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
I took the risk to try to flash a ftf file in those 10 seconds and it DID work!!!
Bless it. So, I'm gonna try to carry on with the other guides. Anyway, if you have any advice it'll very much appreciated
Which version of flash tool have you used for this? This was a bug in on of the versions in the recent past that seems to have been fixed now.
Also, which Rom were you trying to install? (not related to your problem, just asking )
The Flashtool is ver. 0.6.7.0 running on Windows 7 64 bits.
I just installed the firmware Sony Ericsson X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897.
Trying to follow this guide now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343 but it appears a camera with an arrow when I'm installing the xRecovery 0.3...
I was thinking to install the ThGo2's ROM because I read good reviews about it, especially about the battery life...
Any recommendation?
I have mostly stuck to stock-based ROMs. I haven't used ThGo2 ROM long enough to give an informed opinion. Right now I am using Wolfbreaks ROM with DoomKernel. The camera is somewhat crippled in the CM/MIUI roms but otherwise you could have a look at those also.
Guys, hi.
I'm beat, I admit it, the jig is up and I'm all out. I've done every possible thing to my phone and nothing helps.
I want to flash CWM7, right? I have the stock 2.1 and working root (that I know for sure). I also have Flashtool and Android SDK on my computer.
What I DON'T have, however, is a way to get into recovery and from there flash ROMs. CWM Recovery doesn't exist for my phone (Xperia X10 Mini Pro), so I got this thing (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106146), copied the chargemon and recovery.tar into my system folder, set the permissions to all enabled, turned off my phone, turned it back on and spammed the back key -> nothing. On another try I long-pressed the back-key -> nothing. On another I installed Rom Manager and selected Boot into Recovery. The phone just restarted.
I THINK, but I'm not sure, that to use recovery, I have to have my bootloader unlocked, is that correct? For that I used this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225) which I must say is extremely confusing - essentially, what I did was that I got msm7227_semc.cmd from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17384177&postcount=3) and run that -that seemed to work fine and returned no errors, on my pc.
I can't ascertain whether I ACTUALLY have bootloader unlocked, because that (from what I read in the guide) requires Gordon's Gate and S1tool - S1tool alone doesn't work for me (does nothing) and my Flashtool installation doesn't have Gordon's Gate in it.
So, I don't even know anymore. What the heck am I doing wrong, how can I boot into recovery? It used to be so easy when I had the HTC Desire
Thanks, all. It would be really appreciated if you could give me any help, because I spent hours on this and have had no success despite following all the neat guides and stuff

When i was in Stock Android, I had taken xRecovery to flash my first ROM (MiniCm7pro V21)
After the ROM was flashed I had CWM already preinstalled
Hopefully this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950324) may help you

hi! i have cubot s208(a) . i rooted,yes. my problem with the phone was it was slow and laged specially watching videos. everyday i could do nothing but restart it. so i thought nice hardware but the problem must be rom or kernel so i decided i install custom rom. but there are no for this phone exept i found on this site miui v5. i did some backup with MTKdroid tools.(image is still on my pc,but unfortunatelly not on my phone) i put miui rom on internal card,i went to cwm there i wiped cache and data...install miui zip file all no problem,but after reboot on cubot logo some funny colours and then just black screen...nothing else happens. i went to cwm again tried restore but no backup there.i tried install backup with MTKdroid tools,but phone wont be recognized. i tried put images from pc to sd card but it wont work.i tried flash tools,i downloaded 2 firmware stock roms (unfortunately they aint zip) but again flash tools wont work because it wont connect with phone.(with usb cable) if i just connect phone with pc it auto turns him on.i tried zipping those 2 roms,but after trying in cwm it says install aborted (way i figured i need real stock rom but in zip file) funny no way i can find it.only roms that i can use with flashtools.
so...anyone knows what can i do please say
edit
i fixed it
somehow i suceeded installing mobistel cynus driver (for usb) then i went to sp flash tools. there was other problems... but there i first format phone.then just flash preloader.then everything else.et voila!only problem left is invalid imei.but i guess it will be easy to fix,right now i go to sleep.last 30 hours i slept 6 hours,other time i spent on pc.hope i help somebody.dont forget to backup your phones!
good night and good fight!
Hello everyone, I have a problem with Bell sgs2 and I'm from Ukraine,so please sorry for my English.
A little bit of history: my sister from Canada closed her contract with bell and sent me the phone. As it turned out, device was still locked, so I tried to download the latest firmware and make unlock. Firstly I tried to unlock the phone running Android 2.3.3 with custom kernel by using galaxy_S unlock app, it was succesful, but I wanted latest firmware and tried to flash different unofficial ROMs. Every time I did it nothing happened because of different errors.
Problem starts here:
Then installed rooted official ROM Android ICS with Odin and noticed that in Kies there was an update for my device. Tried to install it, but it failed when the phone was in download mode (because of damaged usb cable maybe). In Kies they wrote that I should disconnect device and take out battery. I did it.
Now when I turn it on it stops on Samsung logo. I still can open download mode or stock recovery, which is great. But the problem is that Odin doesn't recognize the phone anymore while it is in download mode. Tried to uninstall,install drivers - nothing happened. The good thing is that I can see my phone with adb when it is in recovery, tried to install some zips from sideload or external sd card - nothing happened ( Error, status 7). So basically I can't install official md5 ROM from sammobile because of Odin and can't find normal zips for recovery.
Please help Will be grateful!!!
