yesterday I was all in to these new x10 themes and stuff so I had to get everything installed, and as usual, I killed this poor little guy
I installed xRecovery and Busybox, and as soon as I installed the update.zip my phone got stuck at the SE logo after the first reboot, I'm clueless and desperate for help ( not really, but I don't like my old Samsung Monte so I would really appreciate some help with this x10 mini )
this might have happened because I haven't compared the ROM versions,
does anybody know how can I fix this crap? the phone is literally a brick now,
tried plugging both USB and the other cable, but nothing helps.
edit : I managed to get to the XRecovery screen, but still nothing, the phone is still getting stuck at SE logo.

Since ur able to get into xrecovery.. reflash the ROM with the flashable zip of the one presently installed..!! It will work..
Gintonic.SE by slade..
No such thing as "brick"..
Use SEUS or/and search for the term "bootloop" right here.
Wipe data from recovery is probably the easy and fast way out.

Have you meant this one?

remove spaces please.
if you did, I should now tell you I tried this a few times and it has no use, I also tried most of the other options such as " Factory wipe " and " Wipe Dalvik Cache "
phone is still stuck at the SE logo, boot-looping
I will be very grateful if someone could explain to me what is this flashing all about, looks like it helped over 80% of the people who had the same problem, and I also need to know where I could get SEUS since I only have PC Companion and when I tried to download one of the SEUS versions out there it just said the version needs to be updated,
need help ASAP, thank your for your quick responds.
SEUS download.
And then root again, and then install CWM again, and then "install custom ROM" in CWM.
There is the option of "flashtool" but I don´t understand how that should be easy in anyway.
Root with super one click, search for AAIS and install that via "Terminal emulator" from Market, and then install custom ROM via CWM..
If ANYTHING above is weird or not understandable send me a PM and I´ll happily help you out with whatever it could be.
One tip is to save everything on the SD to be able to install everything via the SD whilst on the move, except for the rooting part that is..
Looks like I just completely killed the phone, accidentally erased the XRecovery.
Is there any possible way to re-install XRecovery without using the device itself?
well I guess same issue:
- one day my phone didnt connect to PC.
- it was charging but dead on USB side
- I couldnt use seus, wotan, flasher, nothing because I couldnt use USB!
- I downloaded custom ROM via wi-fi and through xrecovery installed it
- now phone hangs at SOny Ericsson logo boot screen
I cant use USB ( yeah, cable is 100% fine, tested, PC is 100% fine, tested, all drivers, etc. ) because my cell refused to join USB and refused even in xrecovery as mass storage (flash disk) so I have expensive piece of junk on my table with shining SOny Ericsson logo on screen
Got stuck in SE logo couldnt turn phone on or off or get any where
this worked for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132185
if you can get in xrecovery try a diffrent rom
then you can you put a rom on your sdcard via the pc and back in the phone and use xrecovery
Did you guys wipe after install?
Try holding powerbutton+menu+backbutton and then connect the USB cable.
Let go of all except backbutton.
The green LED should light up and it should connect to SEUS.
If none of that works I could fix them IRC but that would require alot of trust from you as you would need to ship the phone to aswell as paying shipping both ways..
All I can give as security is my adress so you can see that I am who I say I am.
Oh, and I would do it for free as it´s just fun for me fixing bricked ones..
the problem is my phone wont connect to PC with USB.. otherwise it would be easy to put it again on life. many threads about it but not a single one when phone refuses to recognize USB inserted.
yup I´m always following step by step instructions and I did wipe after install. Tried that button combo..green light just blinked for second and nothing happened.
EDIT:
I´ve managed (after two days fight) to run my device again!!! USB is not working. its definitely dead. only charging works from wall charger not from USB port whatever one. I could only hope my x recovery will boot. Combo buttons werent working so I tried everything and the last step worked.
power button + left + middle + right one - restart
after the vibration put usb in it and insert SD card while holding right button ( i dont know if it helped or not but SIM card was removed too)
let it work about 10secs
release right button and my phone booted into x recovery!!! f..k im glad i have my phone back, uuuuuuuuuuuf
OK.
Try and leave it plugged in the charger for atleast an hour.
Could be the battery.

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?

Hi all. I have multiple problems in my x10i.it has 2.1 It was rooted and worked fine..few days ago I tried to wipe the phone and did the master reset via xrecovery ..after the restart it just hanged at the boot logo and xrecovery is not working from then....I wanted to update with SEUS via USB... but the phone is not connecting as well...What should I do? PLZ HELP ME GUYZ........
Hi,
Seus doesn't recognize your x10 even if you hold back button while plugging usb (flash mode) ?
This week my x10 2.1 crashed (I suppose it was because of rooting with superoneclick without rebooting immediatly), and wasn't recognized by windows. It was in a loop turnig on/off and only putting off battery could turn it off really. Big Problem.
The only solution I found : putting off battery, pluggin usb cable, holding back button and putting on battery. Back button still hold (like flash mode) until seus recognize x10. Then it runs alone and install rom (after I rooted with flashtools and launched jit optimisation, witch increase truely x10 performances!).
Probably seus not recognize your phone because you have a rooted and custom firmware in your x10 and xrecovery is not working because you did a reset and then you delete some files from your phone, you can reinstall it with the x10flashtool or to make a complete restore firmware whit the same x10flashtool
If SEUS/PCC doesn`t recognize your phone, remove them from PC and reinstall them.
You have an USB driver problem

Did you wait for at least 30 seconds before putting battery inside phone (to make sure clearing all memories? And sure you hold back button before, during and after?
Otherwise, what does happen if you press and hold volume button before turning on the phone (and keep volume button hold)?

Well your usb is definitly working then as its glowin green?..
Are you sure you are doing it all right? It happened the same to me, and it ended I was pressing the wrong buttom (I knew which one was the correct one, but was blind cause I was scared that Ive broke it totally), a day later I noticed it and I was able to flash my phone.
However, read a guide and follow it step by step, reinstall everything and start from beginning maybe?
Or use the repair function with PC Companion
Hi! I had the same problem!
1. Search and download from this forum Flashtool 0.2.6
2. Install it.
3. Download from this forum one generic ROM (for exemple X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897 )
4. Put the file in directory Flashtool/firmware
5. Launch X10flashtool.exe
6. DO NOT PUT THE USB CABLE IN THE PHONE
7.From option "flash select the desired ROM
8. Wait the program to begin(a picture will appear)
9. Pressing the back button, insert the usb cable.
10. Wait the flashing to begin and release the back button.
Follow instructions and WAIT around 5 minutes until flashing will complete
11. Send me two words if it helps you! Success!

I've did everything as u told.....no luck ! guess its the time to go to repair center...btw a guy from help center told me about software tampered,,!!out of luck
I rooted my xperia mini x10 with superoneclick. After that i installed titanium backup and terminal emulater. I installed (with aais) xrecovery and after that enabled JIT. I make a backup with xrecovery.
FIRST PROBLEM: After that i want to enable app2sd.................
A lot of programms dissapear, like Market, titanium backup, terminal emulator, rootexplorer and xrecovery.
So i cant restore with xrecovery
I can't install from sd card because my market is gone so i can't download a root explorer.
I can't install from for example gmail because i cant open the market to install a app for opening attachments.
SOLUTION 1: After that I saw I still had the web browser. So i downloaded an root explorer with the webbrowser. And with the root explorer i installed titanium backup and terminal emulator again. An after that with the terminal emulator i installed xrecovery again. So i've restored again.
PROBLEM 2: After that i installed all my apps again (NOT APP2SD and also not enable JIT). Everything works. But after booting, there was an error in de homescreen an it keep looping.
So again i couldn't open my apps anymore. Again xrecovery didn't work anymore.
SOLUTION 2: I also installed advanced task killer. So i have this app icon in the upper left side of my screen. With this app i could open the market and with the market i could open terminal emulator en reinstall xrecovery.
So again I installed all my apps. After that the phone works very well.
PROBLEM 3: During the night the phone is always charging. Since i root my phone it isn't possible anymore to power off the phone and charge it.
This morning i started my phone an again it can't open the homescreen and it keeps looping.
I shut down my phone, boot it with xrecovery and try to restore with an new image i made the day before after i installed all my apps again.
Normally that proces takes a couple of minutes. This time it says to be completed after a very short time. I boot again and after that the phone doesn't come further than the white SE logo.
Can power off but after a few secs it starts up again. And can't open xrec anymore.
Also the battery wouldn’t charge further than 10%. From that it stops charging
NO SOLUTION 3:
• I've tried "install xrecovery for mini through adb, but when i typed adb shell it says: no device found.
• When I running SEUS i have the newest software and can't reinstall the latest firmware (normally i can in case of a problem)
• With pc companion you have to slice you start up screen down en connect with pc companion. THis is nog possible because the phone doesn´t get further than de white se logo. See there is also an reparation option and when i use that it says it can´t install all parts of the installation and stops installing
* flashtool also don't work
14/023/2011 21:23:45 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
14/023/2011 21:23:45 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
14/023/2011 21:23:45 - INFO - Then go to application settings
14/023/2011 21:23:45 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
Very difficult if i can't start up the phone anymore
I'm afraid the only way right now is to buy i new phone???????????
Hope someone still can help.
HELP HELP HELP HELP
Hmmm I guess they have changed the SEUS...
Anyways, AAIS script has few problems with app2sd, I've modded AAIS script to get it working... I myself got problem with app2sd that aais installed... I lost the superuser access, btw I guess u forgot to partition ur SDcard, apps2sd script requires that their should be a ext2 partition ALREADY PRESENT!!!
Well in ur case, u cant boot into recovery well sometimes I feel so but then I try it again, keep on hitting back button just after I press the power button, u can try that too.
Also look for a previous version of SEUS(as I think new version is having this latest firmware thinggyy), I'll post mine but I can do thats only after 17th!
Just to let u know, theres an option repair in PC companion use that! It wont ask u to turn on!
* i first did the sd card partitioning, so that can't be the problem.
* Repair option in pc companion also don't work
* I start my phone alreadey a hundreds time with pushing the back button but NO xrecovery
I'm going to try an older version of SEUS. I let you know if that works
I downloaded an older version of SEUS. But it first updates to the newest SEUS version before you can use it
Seus works when you just hold back while the phone is off and then plug in usb it has never failed me nor pc companion

U dnt just have to push the back button!
1)Long press the power button
2)Just after it vibraters, press-release-press-release.......the back button, i'm sure u'll get into recovery!
No the only way to get into xrecovery on a brick is when your in charge mode hold power it used to boot xrec it might be fixed now but you can't from the se logo on a brick

You sure we cant? Coz I have always booted into recovery like that and it worked on bricked mini pro too?
None of the above works. The battery loads only for a 10%. An stops loading after that. You can't shut down the phone it reboots after a couple of seconds. So i also think the battery can't realy shutdown. Sunday i have a torx screwdriver so i can try to unplug the battery. I let you know if it works.
Thanks so far
I finally had the right screwdriver. I tried a couple of things, each time after i first unmount the battery:
1. Flashtool didn't work. It ask to enable usb debugging and that is not possible
2. SEUS says there is no new software
3. PC companion, i go to the repair option and it says there is no software for your phone
4. Reboot by long press the power button and when the SE logo appears try push the back button, release, press, release. But this also didn't work
More options to try??????????
bring it to customer care center, the last thing you can do
I've already tried but they said they can't help if the phone is rooted
So this mean.....bye bye xperia mini x10???
I'm sure something can be done about this! I've to test it on my mini pro, wait! Lets see what happens!
I hope so!!!!! I still wait a while.

Hi,
I would like to ask you for advice before throwing my X10 mini away and buying something else.
I have had MiniCM7 installed for a very long time (more than a year), and upgraded to all versions without any problem. Today I installed MiniCM9 3.0.2, but I decided to reinstall MiniCM7 because of some problems detected with this version, so I went to SEUS, downgraded to 2.1.1.A.0.6, installed BusyBox, xMiniRecovery, root and flashed MiniCM7 2.2.0 and gapps. I have done it quite a lot of times before.
But, when I tried to reboot onto MiniCM7 2.2.0, my phone was stuck onto Sony Ericsson logo. Here's what I did:
1) Ok, Home+Power and reenter into recovery by pressing back key. No, no luck, it doesn't enter into any recovery.
2) B plan, I'll go to SEUS again. Home+Power, connect USB and keep back key pressed. Nothing, SEUS doesn't recognize anything, but Companion does activate a little popup on my Windows, as if it detects my phone plugged into my computer. No red, yellow, or green lights in the phone.
3) C plan. Flash kernel directly. I downloaded kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17674938#post17674938 and used FlashTool. But, again, when I press Home+Power, connect the USB cable and press back key, it doesn't recognize anything, FlashTool is waiting for me to connect something. Antivirus is disabled.
If I keep back key pressed, no SE logo appears; black screen. If I release back key for a little while, SE logo appears and it gets stuck.
Both if I connect it to the computer or to the power socket, no green/yellow/red led appears.
Does anybody have any idea? Everything (cable and phone) were working wonderfully before flashing 2.1.1.A.0.6 for the last time.
Kind regards,
Jordi
Ok,before u try this u should know it will delete everything of phone memory:apps,contacts,etc.
And it removes root and recovery and phone will be like the day u bought it except that bootloader is not touched if unlocked stays unlocked
TRY AT UR OWN RISK
Steps:
1-download sony erricsson pc companion
2-click support zone and choose software update
3-before clicking continue click on repair phone
4-wait till loads and choose phone type
5-concentrate on this one cuz it has 2 methods
5a:if ur phone doesent restart automaticlly just plug usb in computer first then with phone powered off hold the back button and connect the usb cable only let hold when it says u can
5b:if ur phone DOES restart automaticlly remove battery till u reach this step and put back cover bedside till ur done with this method what were gonna do is when we reach this step we quickly plug battery and before it restarts just hold back and insert usb cable.
6-wait to install
7-congratulations unbricking
8-(optional):click the thanks button :xD

Hi,
Thank you very much for your quick answer. I had never realized the procedure shown in steps 2-4.
But Companion refuses to install it! "It's impossible to install or setup update components of phone sotfware" grrrrrrrrrrrrr Tomorrow I'll try to get another computer and follow your procedure.
Thank you very much
Always happy to help as ive been in such issues alot

You say you have an X10 Mini, and not an X1O Mini-Pro.
The X10 Mini requires you to run the nAa-kernel in order to run the latest verstion of MiniCM7.
You say you downgraded back to stock firmware and installed MiniCM7 again, did you forget about the kernel?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhh you are right!!!!!!! I have installed kernels and versions a lot of times on my device, and I was so confident of myself that this time I didn't realize I was missing one of the most important steps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So stupid of me.......!!!!!!!
I've tried PC Companion as suggested before, but no way: it doesn't detect the "flash mode" at boot time. I keep pressing Back key and I only get a black screen; when I release Back key, SE logo appears and gets stuck forever. It doesn't matter if I try SEUS, PCCompanion or FlashTool, it's always the same. I can't shut it down, just restart over and over again via Home+Power.
Does anybody know what can I do?
Kind regards,
Jordi

I do not know what did I do, but by trying for the 1000th time to do the Home+Power+Back key combination with USB connected and keeping Back key pressed, and pressing and releasing it madly afterwards, while FlashTool was waiting for me to flash MiniCM7, FlashTool has reacted!!!!!! It allowed me to install MiniCM7 again!!!
What happened? I do not know, perhaps I pressed Back key just the microsecond that the hardware needed it.
Thank you very much!!!!
hahaha, cool And here i was thinking you were trying to flash the kernel, lol
But good luck

Ok, hi guys... yesterday I misinterpreted some instructions before flashing Rajeev's PureX v4.1 rom... was on Niaboc79's ExistenZ Y v2.6.0... so went on, wiped and factory resetted... then, instead of formatting system/data, I formatted data AND system so obviously now it gets stuck at the Sony logo when booting because it has nothing to boot up and the only way to shut it off is with the small red button on the left side until it vibrates, resets then shuts off...
I then told myself I could simply flash a .FTF back from FlashTool, but alas, not this time... ok, I'm on D6503 Z2 with locked bootloader which is not unlockable... and now, when my phone's off and FlashTool asks to connect phone in flash mode the phone doesn't act as it normally would. when plugging usb cable, instead of the original green led, it quickly shows red, then green then nothing and on flashtool we can now see an error which is shown in the screenshot below.
Drivers are installed and I guess the problem now has to do with the bogus leds as they are the same just trying to connect in flash mode out of FlashTool... I Googled and read a lot about it yesterday on XDA and the only potential answer I could find was telling to flash a .ftf whrough FlashTool which was my first bet anyway but now, I really can't think of anything and would please appreciate your assistance about that... I hate to say this but I must admit what I'm requesting now is some help to get me through my own f*** up, please...
Might be a corrupt .ftf , try downloading another one or build your own with xperifirm+flashtool.
You can also try repairing with sony pc companion app...
Thanks for the quick answer... In fact I tested with 4 different ftfs I know are working... and as I said the problem is with the inability of phone to enter flash mode and its wrong leds when connecting to flash mode; not a software issue... I also tried with PCCompanion but it fails at detecting the phone since it freezes at the Sony logo and doesn't boot anything...
EDIT it also doesn't charge when I plug usb or ac. Instead it quickly toggles leds red, green, none one time and stays off... same way as when I try connecting it to flashmode holding vol-...
I've flashed many sony phones that don't boot / bootloop with flashtool and they always come to life again unless there's hardware problems
You phone is beeing detected in flashtool as beeing in flashmode so it's entering the correct mode. As a last resort i would try flashing on another pc/os , i still think it's pc related... are you using any android emulator on the pc? bluestacks / andy or that kind of stuff?
They cause loader.sin errors too... had that happen once on my work computer, uninstalled bluestacks and flashed fine afterwards.
Sorry i can't think of anything else right now...
I don't have another pc, but I reinstalled a pc backup so it is as when I originally set it up... reinstalled flashtool, reinstalled drivers and launched FlashTool to flash a .FTF. It just did the same as before flashes red, flashes green then nothing but the same errot message in FlashTool... but I noticed one thing, everytime I just plug phone to pc, Flashtool states it's in Flash mode as it is not. it was simply plugged in... and I don't use such as BlueStacks... and anyway the phone's leds react wrongly first then the asked action, flashing, cannot be applied hence the error message in FlashTool... thanx for your help...
I'm really used to flashing stuff and I know my mistake now was to format the system partition. From that time, it became impossible to flash any .ftf and the only info, signal I've got is the led quickly displaying red then green led intead of just green then starting to flash, when cable is plugged in, holding VOL-...
Damn formatting the system partition should not hard-brick your phone bro i've done exactly the same mistake on my also unlockable BL Z2 a long time ago, wiped everything and rebooted the phone without flashing the rom xD phone would only show sony logo (can't remember led status) but it flashed normally and came back to life. maybe you got really really unlucky and your bootloader got messed up somehow :| You already did everything i would have done without success, i'm also out of ideas... but xda is full of great minds, maybe someone else can help you better.
You are absolutely right... I had done the same mistake on my xperia T, a while back, and a simple flash from flashtool had taken care of it... I don'T even come to ask for help, usually... when I mess things up, I have always succeeded in bringing the thing back to life... until now...
thanx a lot for your help.
EDIT: Oh, even worse now... when flashtool is done preparing the FTF to be flashed and asks to plug in phone holding VOL-, I tried just plugging the phone WITHOUT holding any button and it did the exact same error I screenshotted earlier, with same red/green/none scheme... So computer really sonsiders phone to be in flashmode from the moment it's plugged in...
No problem, wish i could help more. It does seem like your phone is stuck on fastboot or flashmode. If you just power on the phone and connect it to pc (no flashtool running) does your pc device manager detect your phone? what device does it detect? If you connect in fastboot mode (vol up + plugin usb cable) what do you see in the device manager? Maybe try completely discharging your phone, leave it powered on for a day or so until the battery dies completely, maybe it'll "reset" to normal mode? Just throwing some ideas now, at least we're keeping the thread alive, maybe someone more expert will look at it too
Why you guys quoting every post? Makes it tedious scrolling on mobile.
@rubiicon59 old habits lol xD i edited my posts and removed the quotes, since no one else is participating in the thread they aren't really needed...

first, sorry for the late answer... ok,,, when I only plug usb cable into phone, it is not detected... However, I can boot into fastboot and then it's detected in device manager as in the screenshot below... But, it does flash red just before turning blue for fastboot... just the same quick red flash as when I plug USB in...

Just a quick tip- don't use the red button, it is only for emergency and it is annoying to open the flap everytime. Instead, use the Power + Volup and hold for a few seconds.
WOW! reallly can'T say why it didn't work first time, but I tried reinserting sd card and retake it out, started one last time to flash a .ftf and it worked.... Great, now back on my backup... everything working as it should now....
thanx to @BlAckXpeRia for the reminder tip... Red button should only be used when everything else failed to shut the phone down...
and of course, thanks to @ptmaniac for your help all along these stressful last 2 days... THANKS!!!
oh yeah, SOLVED
Nice!! i really really like this phone, i would be very sad if it died on me like that, good to hear you got your phone back
M having same issue without any SD card, what should I do ? :'(
