Hey all!
First of all, I started a new thread because there are so many replies in Mini CM7 ROM thread and to me it looks (sort of) like a salad. Sorry if I did wrong.
Now, the problem.
A few days ago I managed (I would add that this was not too hard...) to brick my x10 mini. What I did was to relock boot-loader without flashing stock kernel back. After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery wires, I was able to flash an original rom (sadly, SEUS didn't help, it only said that I had the last software installed and the only option showed was exit. So I did another stupid thing, I unistalled SEUS, so bye-bye blob_fs files...), which I downloaded from here. So my phone was back to life and usable. I unlocked the bootloader again and now I can flash any kernel I want. There's only one little problem: no matter what kernel I flash and no matter what rom I install, my phone goes in a boot-loop. The only rom that works is the Orange branded one I used to unbrick my phone. I followed step by step (at least now) all the instructions to install Mini CM7-2.1.1 and Mini CM7-2.13, but no chance, my phone keeps restarting. I even tried to install other custom roms, which are requiring kernel 2.1, with no result. The only one who works is the Orange one.
Now, if anybody could upload the 2.1.1.a.0.6 SE firmware (stock ROM+kernel), I think I might get a chance to solve this (I could only find 2.1.1.c.0.0 and looks like SEUS - at least in my case - doesn't like it). Or if anyone else here knows other ways or have other ideas of how to solve this problem, I'd be very grateful.
Thank you for reading my "book", any help would be much appreciated.

Today I finally got around to try and flash my X10 phone that AT&T refuses to update. I really went into this not really knowing what i was doing, so basically I was throwing this at wall here not knowing what'll happen. So I got a firmware .ftf file and a baseband file put it into my firmware folder and the flashtool said everything was alright. So now my X10 just goes through an endless loops of the boot logo for Sony Ericsson and then goes black screen and a blue LED (supposedly this is the Push-to-Talk LED) shows up. So now I'm wondering.. how exactly do I restore factory default on it without being able to go into the phone itself?
Just want to put this out there, I did use the search function but got no results, probably my internet giving me trouble
Thanks in advance for any help!
Use SEUS to restore to AT&T 1.6 first,
then go to the flashtool post to find a 2.1 global generic firmware to flash into your phone.
I think there are youtube tutorial vids showing you how to do so.
Yes, I'm an X10 mini n00b.
I'm sorry to post this, but I've been mucking around the net for over two days trying to find a solution, this is my last hope.
To the point:
I've an X10 min - e10i.
I had firmware 2.1.1.a.0.6 on it, and did all the steps towards installing a custom firmware.
I installed recovery, and it worked, so I created a NANDROID backup, then I rooted it, I hacked the bootloader. Everything was fine.
Then I came to put the minicm7.2, and everything stopped working.
The phone would not boot anymore past the Sony Ericsson logo wouldn't even go into recovery.
I mucked around a bit with flashtool, s1tool and others and got to the final position I'm in right now -
Phone boots, but the model now is e15i (no idea how that got there), and the buttons won't work, the sim and sdcard are unrecognized.
How do I fix this? I can't find the generic firmware for the A.0.6 anywhere, and non of the ftf's I downloaded were any help.
Tried to flash the E10i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Sony Ericsson.ftf one (220mb) and it shows me the unplug/plug your phone dialog.
Neither Pc Companion nor SEUS were any help.
Plz help...
Now before anyone responds by telling me to search the forums I have spent HOURS on XDA going through innumerable forums clicking on dead or misleading links and have not found anything that will help.
My old x10 crapped out on me and I need to reflash it so that SEUS will recognize it. I know what I am doing and have done this before. I have the latest (and multiple copies of older) version of flashtool. This all started with 2.1 randomly shutting down irrespective of what the battery level is. I have had this happen in the past and EVERY time a reflash resolved it.
ALL I need is either the official Rogers 1.6 or 2.1 stock rom. There seem to be HUNDREDS of dead links here and this has become a uber frustrating situation. I have flashed X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200 which 100% solved the reboot issue but now my sd card is no longer recognized. And please don't tell me to try other cards as I have used 6 different capacity and speed cards and none are seen in the phone but ALL work on my pc and on my xperia T. I am using the original 16GB card that the phone came with.
For some reason I can get roms for every other carrier except Rogers so I am suspecting Rogers had them pulled, but SURELY someone here has what I need and can help.
Once I can get it back to stock I can use SEUS or PC companion to update and I will take care of the rooting later, if at all.
So here it is, I am asking VERY nicely...BEGGING in fact...can ANYONE help me get a stock ROGERS rom for my x10?
Following http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmX-IYNYqL8&hd=1 was of zero help as the page shown in the vid has been edited and now does not have any of the links for the firmwares, only the flashtool.
I honestly thank you for any help you can offer here. My kids want\need their phone back and there is no way I can afford to replace it right now...and frankly I shouldn't have to replace it if all I need is the rom. I do apologize if I am coming off like a jerk. That is not my intent. I am just SUPER frustrated and running out of time and searches on XDA have become less than friendly over the past few years...too much content to dig through and too many old/dead links.
Hello,
I have got a COSMO Mini S4 and it suddenly does not boot. The last time I did see it work, it was hanging on the boot screen (suddenly, I did not make it reboot). So I did pull the battery out. After that it did not turn on again. So I looked on the interweb, and found that I still should be able to flash it. It is recognized by the PC.
So does anyone know where to get the firmware files (a dump of someone else's would be fine by me). And some help flashing the phone.
Every firmware that would work is fine by me, I just want my phone to work again. I have some experience flashing cellphones, but never had a chinese one before, so no manuals availible allmost.
Thanks in advance!
Hello there,
I am user of Z5c from last year. Own the model 5823.
I am just about to start up with a flashed ftf 6.0 but I'm missing "something" that don't know what it is.
I have already unblocked the bootloader successfully (verified, because I try to restore it with Xperia Companion and now it gives me a nice "error", after yes having achieved it successfully a couple of days ago).
After that, I have installed with FlashTool an ftf 6.0 Nordic Generic (not finding a 6.0 Central Europe 1 Generic, which was the one I wanted).
I know I am just a step before all begins to walk and everything to be OK, but after finishing the flash installation successfully updated the apps and all, returns to remain in a "loopstart", just like before unblocking the bootloader, but now I've already done it.
I see that I still have something to do but already do not know what it is.
Actually, I even go to 7.0 and stay there if I'd manage to recover the phone, but I really do not know how.
Could someone help me please? :crying:
Thank you very much.
Regards,
A
