Don't worry i know what to do.
First download PC companion on computer. Then install drivers on computer. After that open PC companion and click Update phone on Support zone. You will see a window witch will ask you if you want to restore your phone. When computer will be ready for restoring your device plug in your phone into computer via usb, hold home and power button until your phone turn off and quickly press and HOLD back button(if your phone is on). If it is not, just press back button and THEN plug it to computer KEEPING holding back button. After restoring you will have a new x10 mini=). Good luck.
P.S. sorry for my bad English

[Q] Rebooting at start

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?

OK,
Have you got SEUS?
If not google it and download it.
Once you have done that send me a PM
Been through this pickle too, dont worry, go in dev forum search your generic rom, and flashtool and follow the instructions to flash the generic rom, ps, in xrecovery dont forget to make a backup of ur generic rom, saves a lot of time when things like this happen

Do you have recovery installed?
If so, when you see the sony ericsson screen keep hitting the back key (The one on the right on the front)
That will put you into recovery
If not download flashtool from here
and install it on your pc..
attach phone and you will see it connect.
Click root
then ask root permissions
then xrecovery
PS, in SEUS are you holding down the back button...
Turn the phone off (Pull the battery out if you have to and put it back in)
then hold down back button when SEUS says so

I have finished successfully using SEUS but it still reboot and never enter main menu, in the past I have installed xrecovery,but is it still there after I installed with SEUS?? what should I do...
If your phone doesnt work after flashing with SEUS then I think your phone is broken.
SEUS a clean install of the latest SE software so it should work.
Did you choose to do an update or a factory reset and update.
Try again in PC Companion and choose factory reset and update.
Go here to download PC Companion

restore your phone via SEUS from pc companion it will revert your kernel to stock and install the stock rom
Don't worry, I did the same thing the first time I tried to install Zombie Panic. Download the Sony Ercisson Update Service from here, insatll it on your PC and follow the instructions to install (even if it says you have the latest version). It'll take you back to Stock ROM and your phone will boot.
but.. PC Companion can find my phone but it wants to connect it in Android (and i cant go to android) so... :/

you should start the update process while the phone is disconnected and press repair then when asked connect the phone while you are pressing the back key to connect via flash mode.
Wait.. but i choose the reprair phone option and now it trying to reprair it, i just believe, at this will save my phone

Prepare SEUS on repair mode, until message to connect phone.
Press and hold power button, then press home button (don't release power button) and wait phone off. press and hold back button then connect the usb cable.
thank you!!!!you saved my phone~! Now can install mCM7.... thank you!!!
I was tryin to install MiniCM7 and during my noobish attempt I pretty much deleted everything on my phone. Factory reset and such. And I attempted to fix by rebooting the phone but now all I get is the Sony Ericsson Logo and when I try to turn the damned thing off it turns back on. I tried SEUS but even after quickly hitting back and plugin the usb cable after Home+Back+Power no dice. Can anybody out there help this desperate noob soul :c
Cant you pull out the battery connector underneath the rubber bit next to the camera to turn it off??

Battery Disconnected What now?

[SOLVED] Xperia NEO Bricked and without flash mode

Hi,
I tried to upgrade mi xperia neo to Tweake 1.0 with the recovery, and now dont start.
When i power the phone or plug the charger appears the Sony Ericcson logo and continues there all time.
I can´t enter in flash mode (son i can´t use seus or flash tool), always appears other time the sony ericsson logo.
The bootloader is closed.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Are you sure that you are doing the correct procedure to use flash mode on the phone? Here it is:
1. Turn off the phone.
2. Remove the battery for at least 10 seconds.
3. Insert the battery again.
4. Press and hold the "back" button on the phone.
5. While still holding the "back"button pressed connect the phone with teh usb cable to the pc. Flashtool should now recognize the phone.

So, there are two ways:
1. flashmode (green LED) have still work, so do as neptun2 advices.
1. Turn off the phone.
2. Remove the battery for at least 10 seconds.
3. Insert the battery again.
4. Press and hold the "back" button on the phone without pressing "power on" button
5. While still holding the "back"button pressed connect the phone with teh usb cable to the pc. Flashtool should now recognize the phone.

or
2. if recovery still works, try to do all wipes again (data, cache, dalvik-cache)
Thaks to all.
I can´t access to the recovery, and i don´t see the green led when i plug the cable.

I'm with the same problem here in my Xperia Neo, it just shows Sony Ericsson, i can't open recovery, can't do hard reset, and can't reset via PC Companion.. :/

Really bricked phone

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

Only thing i can think off is to press home-power-back at the same time and release home and power when the screen goes black, all this with the phone connected to the pc via usb, but i'm not sure if that will work.

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
