Okay, so here's the problem.
I have an x10mini and I wanted to put Cyanogen Mod 7 on it.
For that i used the PC tutorial that I found here: forum.cyanogenmod(dot)com/topic/32778-cyanogenmod-7-for-the-xperia-x10-mini-v710-11-oct-2011/ but it failed, I bricked the phone.
After getting the phone bricked, I found that I could just put Cyanogen directly from the mobile using Rom Manager like this guy here:www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=8QLvyylC4hQ
I made a video showing how my phone behave: www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=MIXhWwElmNQ
The only thing working is Cwm Recovery.
Now i need help with you guys to recover my stock android and start the flashing process with Rom Manager this time.
Thanks in advance, Sirop

firstly is that ROM compatible for your phone?
to recover to stock ROM download a stock kernel and use somthing like flash too to flash it to stock
Yes, according to the first link, it is compatible.
I found a stock french kernel (I'm french) but I can't put it, the Flash tool can't detect my phone in flash mode.I shut off the phone and hold back button while power on but it says :
05/040/2011 12:40:21 - ERROR - Please plug you device in flash mode
05/040/2011 12:40:22 - INFO - Searching Xperia....
05/040/2011 12:40:23 - ERROR - Please plug you device in flash mode
It really pisses me off because it looks so easy with Rom Manager but i still managed to get it bricked
Plug USB to back of PC, no to front port- helps for me

Put the phone in download mode the use Odin to flash stock ROM, kernel, and modem. You should flash PIT as well.

I'm using a netbook right now and the Odin window can't fit the screen, can't enlarge it, i see half of the menus. I'm really thinking about giving up with this phone..

i believe hes using x10 mini/mini pro
after it says "turn on debugging mode" you need to disconnect the USB from PC and turn on your phone!
go to settings/applications/ development and turn on USB debugging mode

if your installing custom kernel (which i believe you are) then you need to UNLOCK your BOOTLOADER or else it wont work and it wont flash
if your kernel is SE stock then it doesnt need Unlocked bootloader
may be your adb.exe has blocked with your antivirus,,,
so your flashtool did't work...
do you have try flashing with other computer???
I do that way and working...
you should try this....
sorry for my english....
Is there a way to install it directly from Cwm Recovery? There's that menu : "install zip from sdcard"..?

Hi!
I hava X10a (xPeria X10 Mini) phone with 2.0.A.0.504 firmware. Rooted.
I have enabled Unknown Sources and USB Debugging
I have SEUS installer
I have disabled UAC in Windows (Windows 7 x64)
I have enabled root permissiont through Superuser for Flashtool
Despite all that, when I try to flash the X10a_2.1update1_r2.1.A.0.435_Generic.ftf firmware with Flashtool, I follow the instructions loading the firmware and putting the phone in flash mode, but Flashtool fails. I can boot back the phone and use it as normal. No brick, no black screen.
I searched the forums, but found no one with a similar problem...

Sounds like a corrupt .ftf file.
Download it and try flashing again (from same source) . If that also fails try a different source.
If that fails try a different flash tool version.
Hope this works

I already verified the MD5 checksum, and its the same on than the official Flashtool
thread download link.
I also tried Flashtool v 0.2.9.1 and 0.2.8.0 with the same results
Is there any other Flashtool I can try?
Try it again this time hold the back button down until you see flashtool has sent the loader

Well I had the same problem and I had to use a different firmware to flash with flashtool. I think the ftf file he used is corrupted if that is possible.

Not sure, above he says he checked the MD5 checksum. I suppose he'll have to try a different firmware altogether.

i'm having the same problem now on my so-01b xperia docomo. i have flashed my with a stock x10 generic ftf, it was a successful flash but after a while it just suddenly lost power. when i try to boot it, it just vibrate and nothing!!!! now i have tested so many roms, but just showing "error flashing aborted" man pls somebody help us... i have done some searching and most of them tells me its cpu flash ic problem!!!
there could be 3 possible reasons
1) backbutton not kept pressed enough
quick check : when it says abort do you still see green light near the usb, if yes they you are still in flash mode, if no then key was not pressed on time.
2) FTF could be corrupted : md5sum should do the job here.
3) USB drivers might have gone heywire, suggest reinstalling drivers.
Drivers are inside driver folder in flashtool folder.
hope this helps
hi.
I have the same problem ,yes the green light stays on I have waited like 10 minutes it wouldnt turned off .
I re installed the drivers too,I installed (Golden Gate) too but didnt help .
downloaded and installed another firmware but didnt help .
Plz someone help
Same problem here. I've tried several different firmware, tried several ways to plug phone in, nothing will allow it to finish the flash. One time it actually got closed to finishing the system.bin but then gave the error, so it doesn't always stop at the same time.
Hey guys I am thinking you are talking about what I went through and the fix for my experience was....goto device and printer and click on "A6SOPEME IDE Controller" or semc boot/usb whatever....any ways it was shown in Device and Printers with a little yellow triangle with the exclamation mark in it after a flash. Just uninstall after your flash and then try again.

This is about the fifth person I've seen with the problem also, has me wondering the same, although my suggestion helped one or two of them, others seem to be running into an error still.
hey guys !
guess what I turned my phone on ,as I have found a solution for it I thought it wouldnt be fair to not share it with you guys.
I tried everything just name it ...I dont know where the real problem was but solution is keep pressing the the BACK button (the arrow points to the left) and press power button at the same time . phone will turn on .
there is no problem with your computer or anything its phone itself.
but now I got another problem phone reads the simcard but doesnt receive or send any call says Emergency calls only ...or when u dial a number it says OUT OF SERVICE AREA...anybody can help me with this?

Well, the most silly thing is that I can't turn on Unknown Sources, because the device only vibrates and never boots up, and if I plug the x10 via usb on the charger or the PC, automatically he bot's up on flash mode, or so it seems, because the green led boots ups. I think that I've the first person that bricked the x10i

new info added on the post.
I think you'll have to get it repaired by Sony
After unlocking my bootloader, I attempted to flash a custom kernel. The flash attempt failed and now I am not able to boot up my phone.
I am not able to boot into CWM or XRecovery.
When I hold on to the power button, the led blinks green once and the phone vibrates but the screen is black and nothing happens. I have tried the the repair phone option with PC Companion to no avail. The repair process fails shortly after it starts.
When I connect the phone to my computer (Win XP), the led light turns green and stays on and PC Companion says phone is connected. PC Companion is not allowing me to update the phone's software even though it say the phone is connected (can't recognize the phone?). I am not able to see the device with ADB.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Peter
have you tried SEUS or Flashtool to flash stock kernel back? i got a crashing loop when i tried to flash custom kernel with the rom i used and i just connected it to pc, started flashtool, clicked on flash then on stock kernel then ok, then connected phone and held back button until phone crashed and went to reboot then flashtool managed to pick it up and start flashing stock kernel before it booted up fully, hope this helps

Looks as though flashing worked, though im no expert i just go from all my own experiences of bricking and torturing my phone
Thanks again Lancerfg Looks like my torture continues I also tried using SEUS but was not successful. I will let the battery drain and try SEUS again to see if I have better luck.
Looks like I may be SOL I tried to SEUS again after my battery complete drained but the update still fails.
Anyone have other suggestions? Please help!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
So you did the inevitable... you got a phone that's bricked.. fear not.. this happens to all of us.. consider it a "right of passage" when it comes to dealing with custom ROM's
Here at xda, help is never too far away (I was there once too)
I've tried to get you back to functioning latest Local 2.1 with recovery (xrecovery)
0) You'll lose all data with this method....
come to terms with that... not stuff on the sd card but data of your phone, sms'es, contacts, applications etc
1) Turn off your phone
Pull the battery and reinsert it if you have to...
2) Install Flashtool
go here and downlad flashtool
Install on your windows pc
Thank Androxyde and Bin4ry for this kickass tool
3) Download and flash stock 2.1
Go to this thread and download a 2.1 rom in your language of choice (Dont worry that it's not your local ROM)
4) Flash this rom using Flashtool
In the first link there is a how-to. follow it and flash the downloaded ROM from step 3
Once you have 2.1 on your phone,
5) Enable USB Debugging and Root
Use flashtool and root your phone using the simple button "Root" (I know!! what an awesome tool right!!?? )
Once rooted, disconnect the phone.
6) Get yourself a root file manager
Download a file manager capable of root access such as root explorer or solid explorer.
7) Access and edit the build.prop file
Open the file manager. U should get a superuser prompt to allow root access. Touch "Allow". Go to /system and mount the system as RW. there's a file there called build.prop. open it in a text editor. Find all instances of a number that looks like this 1238-9045 (this is my build number, yours will not be the same). Edit this number(all 3 instances) to look like your build number (Found on original box or behind the battery). Save the file and exit
8) Update via SEUS OR PC companion
Now connect your phone back. PC companion or SEUS will tell you there is a new update available. follow the instructions and you'll be running the latest 2.1 for your region and variant of the mini pro
9) [optional] Root and recovery
The new firmware installed by SEUS/PC companion is not rooted. If you need it, root again (same way as in step 5). once rooted, click "Ask root perms" on flashtool. Once root access is confirmed, install xrecovery from the menu.
Hope that helped!
Enjoy
Edit: if you get an error while opening flashtool saying "JVM could not be started because heap size bla bla bla..." Please try on another pc and maybe reinstall windows on urs

Repair it with SEUS or PC Companion.
Step A: leave your phone disconnected from your PC
Step B: Run SEUS/PC Companion, and select update
Step C: It doesn't recognise your phone because it's disconnected and give you a repair option
Step D: Select it, choose your model, it will download the firmware
Step Ea: You get a popup, Press the back-button on your phone while it's off and plug in the USB-Cable
Step Eb: If you can't turn off your phone, plug in the USB-cable and press home- and power-buttons at the same time, it will do a hard reboot and enter flashmode.
Step F: Wait till it's done...
everything past item 3 is pretty hard since we can't acces anything on phone(that's bricking a phone right) to enable usb debugging.
Good tutorial though for those who installed a custom rom and they want to revert to original plus root acces.
Any ideea how to force seus or flash to force flash?

cant flash using SEUS...its saying i have latest version but in reality the phone is already bricked by me and not having the original stock firmware... now it just keeps restart with sony erricson logo and turns off again and bootloop...cant root, cant flash... heard that there is some special modified usb that will make the bootloader enter download mode so that we can flash fresh firmware inside it?

You can always flash... post your model and if your bootloader is locked or unlocked ( since you're on SE kernel logo, i assume it's locked), and i can provide you with stock firmware (E10i or U20i) to flash with flashtool.

hi, i am u20i model...i accidentally locked the bootloader while having nna kernel i think, because flashing customised rom and kernel, my phone will enter bootloop, thats why i pressed Restore inside s1tool.exe, which got my bootloader locked....
and now that my bootloader is locked, and i cant root my phone without turning it on( the phone bricked cant turn on anymore) i cant unlock my bootloader to flash new kernels into it... please do provide stock firmware and rom for me... i can only flash stock kernel, but not the rom... after i flashed the stock u20i kernel, i dont know how to flash the original rom into my phone, since now my phone, didnt have the CWM or XRecover anymore, which can browse my SD card, and install the rom from .zip files....
flashing stock kernel no problem but did not know how to flash the stock rom

Download this, It's the complete SE 2.1 Firmware (Kernel and ROM), flashable with flashtool.
(It's about 213.5MB, although the site may display it's less in your download dialog, but it will keep downloading till it's all there)

Your tried to unlock your booloader and now dont turn on?
If your phones was manufacturated after 11w29, you got a hard brick.
Cannot go into fastboot mode either (USB + Menu button) but at least Flashtool is able to reboot it into fastboot...
...is there any similar trick to reboot into flashmode? Flashtool only tells me to do the manual stuff for flashmode.
Or, alternatively, is there any way to perform a ROM update - I'm fine with the latest SE stock ROM, I just need that fixed auto-leveling audio feature I had in my Arc since last Summer -, maybe through some fastboot injection + multiple other steps?
It's running GB 2.3.2 aka 3.0.A.2.181 and I need 2.3.4 aka 4.0.A.2.0.XX; I have root but that's it, when I tried installing CWM it did install but does not work, phone freezes at bootup when I keep pushing Volume Down at the first logo to invoke CWM.
PC Companion also 2.0 craps out when I try to run the update, telling me to take it to a SEMC place...
Thanks in advance
Having the same problem.. cant go into flashmode USB + back
What do you mean by you cant go? what happens when you try to go into that mode?
If you get blue LED on that means you are in that mode.

I meant what I said: it does NOT go into flash mode. You can try 100x it will only turn on charging, that's all.
And yes, having owned X10 and Arc previously I've done this before multiple times so I know how it goes normally... not on this Neo though, that's for sure.
So the question is: is there any way to perform an update via fastboot...?

Well, yours is a different story it seems because FT says it did connect in flash mode...
And flash mode is a green light...
Are you still holding the key and capering the flash?

Try flash stock rom (newest) with wotan server. May solve the problem.
The problem is not in the rom

For the love of God, Asians: PLEASE STOP ****IN' PLUGGING THIS **** IN EVERY OTHER POST.
Is it locked to a specific network? My understanding is that it'll have fastboot locked and you won't be able to get into flash mode. Mine's a Neo V, though, so the Neo may be different.
If it's the same as the Neo V then you have to unlock fastboot as well as the bootloader.
If you go to the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to get into the service menu, I think one of the options tells you about simlocks. Sorry I can't be clearer, my phone won't go to that menu, presumably because I've got CM7 on there now.
Apologies if the Neo doesn't work the same way.

I've just found a similar post, which seems to have ended with the same conclusion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305966
To unlock fastboot, I paid someone else to do it with their credits for setool.
Of course, having a locked fastboot shouldn't stop you from upgrading but I'd guess it'd have to be to a specific version that your supplier has modified.
Maybe it sees the CWM install and views it as non-standard. It might be worth flashing a stock recovery and trying again.
I realise that Flashtool was able to put the phone into fastboot mode. I imagine this "locked fastboot" terminology doesn't quite cover what it really means.
You can use flash mode, back button, greenlight with a locked phone ( sim and bootloader). Fastboot menu key, blue light needs unlocked phone ( sim)
