[Q] Bricked my x10 mini and PC Companion doesn't work - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Can somebody help me? I think i may have bricked my phone while trying to flash the latest version of minicm7. I've done everything the tutorial says, including unlocking my bootloader and flashing the kernel, but the phone got stuck in the sony ericsson word screen (not the logo screen). I've tried Pc companion with the repair thing but for some reason, it doesn't work. I've gotten pass the part where you have to select your phone model, but when it comes to the downloading part, it says "no software available", and in smaller print below it says "there is no software available for your phone yet, please try again later". And btw, i can't boot into xrecovery, so restoring using xrecovery is not an option.

Use SEUS flashtool for reflashing ROM.. Ul recover it..
Gintonic.SE + zombie-pack kernel by slade ..

Can i please have the link then? I would really appreciate that I've tried downloading bin4ry's flashtool but the link is broken

Use SEUS means use Sony Ericsson Update Service tool, you can download it from sony ericsson's website.

i googled for the update service for x10 mini, and it directed me to the SE x10 mini page, saying"This software is not available for the Xperia™ X10 mini. Go to the Software downloads overview to see available software for your phone."

SEUS link

HELP!! Stuck in sony ericsson logo.

after CM6.1.3 gingerbread i deside to install the official again from SEUS.

i try the sony pc companion and says to try again later.
AND after all of this
now the phone can't pass the white sony ericsson logo.

PLEASE HELP MEEEE!!!!!!!
Do you have a backup of any ROMs that youve made in xRecovery? If so, you can restore it in xRecovery.
You can also repair your phone using SEUS. SEUS will say that there is no new firmware but install it anyway.
there is not an option to install mate.

Try to find a way to unplug the battery.
I don´t know what the Xperia looks like inside but on the Mini there is a small rubber thing behind the cover that exposes the battery connection.
Have you tried hard reset?
And then SEUS?
Yeah, I tried to reinstall by SEUS...
I have shutdown the Battery and nothing...
Is that Hard Reset is made by Hardware???
I can't find anything about that...

Xperia Mini Pro U21 no signal
Dont know if anyone can help. Have a Xperia Mini Pro, which I tried to unlock from T-Mobile. Unfortunatly the phone now doesn't recognise any sim or any network. Understand that this is beacuse of the certificate used to unlock it.
So is there any way I can get the appropriate T-mobile certificate (to re lock it) onto the device?
I've tried all the obvious stuf with the Sony tool (repair / reinstall) also tried sim lock repair utils. but no luck...
I got my phone rooted
Thanks a lot!

It will not, if you hardbricked it find a local repair shop that will JTAG the phone with a riffbox or with a similar hardware tool. Hardbricked my x10 mini pro and coughed up 25 euros to return it to life.
My phone stuck at boot screen. So how to tap connect my phone to pc?
I attempt to install custom rom and I forgot to wipe dalvik cache. Now it's stuck at boot screen.
Canyou help me? please I beg you! please please please

Good day
I experienced the same thing. My phone would automatically start into the Sony Ericsson white logo after inserting the battery in it. Just open PC Companion then go to support zone -> Update software. It can't pick up your phone then (Says no phone connected) then it gives u a dialog box where you can click 'Repair Phone'. Click and follow the steps
