[Q] Problem with a root tutorial on Xperia x10 mini pro - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi, i've recently followed this tutorial(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950324) and when I pasted the file build.prop in sdcard to /system/ the phone suddenly went off, and it's not going past the Sony Ericcson logo. I did a backup via xRecovery and it didnt seem to work, the mobile isnt going back that logo. Dunno what to do, hope u can help me, thx a lot.

now Reflash the official rom through the se update service or the flashtool(you will find flashtool here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455 )....
1)then for rooting and for installing the xrecovery turn on the usb debugging on your phone.
2)connect the phone with your pc with the usb cable and select charging option on the phone.
3)run the installxrec.bat file in superone click folder and follow all the instructions to root and install xrecovery.
4) reboot andwhen the se logo appears press the back key 3-5 times to gointo the xrecovery menu.

Have you managed to boot your device? ??

if you really want to use miniCM7 and have your BL unlocked, just flash nAa's kernel with flashtool
if not, you absolutely need to start from the beginning using SEUS, sorry (post 3 of my FAQ, you'll get links to debrick )
and read carefully everything before making mistakes
I was in the same situation. I installed minicm7 pro v20 and then it entered infinity loopboot. With luck, i pressed the menu button for some seconds just before "sony ericssom" appear and then i entered in the CWM 3.2 menu, where i did a restore.

Don't worry if the Flashtool says 'USB debugging is disabled' if you enabled it before flashing it,it is because the Flashtool got a problem with connecting to your USB debugging feature in your phone...
About the bootloop,it is considered a softbrick as it can be fix as long as you can connect your phone to your PC in Flashmode

You dont know which rom?...
OK, repair with pccompanion
Not much more advice can be given with scant information like that
do you want to record a video and upload ?
i am uploading a video and the rom that i was using was 2.1 oficial with xrecovery root etc.
My advice remains the same..use pccompanion to repair your phone.
Download it, instal it, run it...it will sort you out.

3. Now turn off your phone,if you stucked then remove your battery and place it back.
4. Press and hold back key then plug in the USB cable and conect to PC/Laptop.The direction is on the screen.
5. If the program detects your phone,then now wait and allow program to search for update.
6. If it says that your phone have the latest firmware installed, just continue and click Install.
7. Now wait for the program to download the firmware and wait to be installed.
8. After complete of install firmware, The program will ask you to disconnect cable and turn on your phone.
9. First boot may takes longer time and
Done! Your factory state X10.
Go on again to root/unlock and anything. ;D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the program cannot detect your phone,
download the Flashtool from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
and download also the firmware file(in .ftf format)
the flash it with flashtool
Give me a THanks if i helped you out
6.
I saw your video
First you are holding BACK button & and then your plug in usb, right?
I tried everything with flashtool with adb commands with flash tool and nothing should i open and do something at usb port ?
Can i get the xrecovery back ? for unbrick it with deamon guide ?
when you connected the USB cable did you already have the back button pressed or not? I could not see that from the video...
Run seus or pccompanion...hold the back button and then plug in USB

Yes...use pccompanion and repair phone then use flashtool to reroot and install xrecovery, the whole process will take about 15-20 minutes depending on your download speed for pccompanion....
the phone dosen't turn to flash mode
there is no green light

Run pccompanion.
attach phone to pc in normal mode
click on start in support zone
click on start in next window
Let it check your phone
click on repair
follow the instructions
If it doesnt work on pccomapnaion download seus and try that.
If it still doesnt work, uninstall pccompanion and seus, reboot pc, redownload and install them and try again.
also, you can goto to the driver folder in the flashtool folder and run ggsetup to install drivers on the pc
let me know how that works, because if that doesnt then you have a hardware fault on your phone, not a software problem
do i have a broken usb port ?

[Q] Please help me unbrick Xperia Mini Pro U20i

I installed MiniCM7Pro_V21 on my U20i after following the procedure correctly (rooting, flashing, xrecovery etc..). It was working well..
Then my friend told me to try an app called Viber. When I installed it, my phone IMEI number was gone (also SIM card was not working, had to buy a new one) and wifi was also not working..
I recovered back to 2.1 using the backup made by xrecovery (I had made that backup when installing MniCM7Pro_V21)...
Then I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.5 using xrecovery. This time I just selected 'Install Custom ROM' in xrecovery and installed the ROM. While installing, it showed an error which was something like 'error: flashing kernel not done...' but it installed successfully.
When I reboot my phone, it is stuck at the Sony ericsson logo. I tried to go to xrecovery using Back + Power. It doesnt work..
Anyone please help.....
Ok it sounds like you flashed a rom for the mini and not mini pro. Looks like you have to use a software called SEUS (sony ericsson update service) to recover back to 2.1

Thanks... I used to SEUS and it's working well now. Thanks again...
Not a problem
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
can you let me know how you updated your u20i particularily instaling xrecovery, i'm stuck here where flashtool hangs at recovery selector with no version available...
I want to update from 2.1.1 to anything later so i can run apps that need froya or later...
Installing CM7
step 0: verify your software version then & download ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201116, download xrecovery
step 1: take backup of all contacts & all data you nee from your phone
step 2: remove memory card
step 3: do a factory reset
step 4: all the following steps worked fine for me, & you proceed at your own risk
step 5: enable USB debugging on your phone
step 6: connect data cable run superoneclick .exe file after extracting
step 7: after you get the message of success
step 8: run the xrecovery .bat file which will push the xrecovery files phone
step 9: after success message reboot phone with back key pressed continuously while sonyericsson logo appears for first time
step 10: you should be in recoveryconsole, if not check mistake and repeat step by step. If yes take backup of phone so that you can recover to the same old state
step 11: mount sdcard, mount usb send the CM7 v21 or whatever to USB, unmount usb/sdcard click on install custom ROM select the CM7 zip file
step 12: after completion of installation mount again in xrecovery and mount sdcard & USB copy all contents & backups to computer, delete all android 2.1 x related software folders [dont forget to copy data from within them before deleting]
step final: you reboot for the first time with your CM7 ready.
copying of folders & cleaning can be done with the old/2.1x system too to speed up.
all files needed are linked many times in this forum. search it if you don't have.

I unlocked bootloader with this guide:
http://androidevil.blogspot.com/2011/12/guide-unlock-bootloader-xperia-x8-w8.html
Unlocked with flashtool, just remember you need to update your x10 mini pro to latest stock rom 2.1 via seus(if seus tolds you that your software is up to date,click repair software), after that enable debbuging mod and root via flashtool (first link up)the device before unlocking bootloader!!!
To load into flash mode:
1.open flashtool
2.hit thunder icon and choose Flashmode
3.choose the file you want to flash (put the file in firmware folder) and press ok
4.switch off your x10 mini pro(the flashtool guide will walk you trough)
5.hold the back button (right down corner button) and when you hold it, plug the device via USB and the flash will start.

Does the phone lands into flash mode?? Connect the cable to the pc...then hold back button and connect the cable to ur phone...if green led glows, you are saved...then use SEUS software to flash the stock rom...if the LED doesnt glow,then the only way to get ur phone back is taking it to nearest service center...all d best mate:good:
Try to connect your charger many times... Sometimes the socket may give some problem...
I too had this type of problem many times. I just tried to wait. Sometimes it took the whole night on charge to bring back to cwm or the battery symbol.
Remove SIM, memory card battery. Let it drain the all the ram for 2 min. Then insert the charger at the phone end and finally the USB end to avoid shake at micro USB end.
If you expect the charge is low or 0, please try to put external charger, charge battery and insert.
I have flashed at least 15 to 20 times..... I have faced different problems. But cwm. 7.2.2.1 is the best of all...... Although 7.2.2.2 has already arrived....

You need to make sure you have enough charge. The phone normally starts blinking red after few minutes or more if its dead and connected to charger. Then the continuous red and so on.... Sometimes even if you insert USB it won't respond if its dead.... Please take enough care before deciding....
