guys, i know that there are similar threads here on the topic im asking now. However i did read through and NONE was same with my case.
i was with MiniCM7 pro on my mini pro, decided to revert back to 2.1 original kernel using pc companion since the firmware was not stable in my unit (batt drain simply fast in 4 hours causing heaty batt from the cover, bt cannot use and running in background, unit restarts itself randomly etc etc).
i done the reversion via pc companion, having 2.1.1.A.0.6 in my unit at the end of the process (the final message from pc companion) and at the end it requires a 5 seconds shutdown and long restart. by that time the boot loop happens after the white sony wording and SE logo. It is a brick case now.
I tried flashtool but "debugging mode off", i tried pc companion again but it requires me to turn on debugging mode which i can never do that in a boot loop.
previously with both CWM and xrecovery from CM7 pre-installed but cannot log into recovery mode by pressing 'back' button and 'sliding' the keyboard.
what should i do now? seriously in a dilema..
i think i just came across with one of the solving method which i cannot digest it (which many of you provided such solving method).
once completed, i will post up photo on how to for solving boot loop errors.
hope im not a nuisance.
SE pc companion > Support Zone > Start >Phone Software Update > Start > Repair phone
this is the procedure.

______________________________________________
first for jumping out of flash mode, i used pc companion's repair, even though it didn't worked, but at least it kept my phone in the flashing mode
second, after the failure of pc companion, i opened flashtool and flashed a 1.6 one onto it.
third, my phone was running again!!

hey guys,
i have bricked my phone
i have tried the solutions here, but none helped:
* seus said: the phone has already the latest version installed
* repairing said: there is no software available for your phone yet
* sometimes the going into flash mode doesn't work, it simply jumps out of it, but by pressing some buttons, it remains in there
[edit: now i can't make it to stay in flashing mode anymore]
* the combination back+home+power does not have any effect
* flashtool reaches to the end and says
29/044/2011 17:44:36 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
29/044/2011 17:44:36 - INFO - Then go to application settings
29/044/2011 17:44:36 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
though nothing happens afterwards (and by nothing i mean it still remains at the SE TEXT, not logo).
NOTE: I rooted my xperia before using flashtool, but i couldn't install recovery, and even when i was installing root with SuperOneClick, everything was smooth and said success except the test which failed.
PS: if i use a generic ROM, would that help? i flash this firmware with flashtool:
Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24[rooted]X10 Mini Pro (U20i)
You flashed with xrecovery ? Can you access it and fix permissions ?

yes, the rom had xrecovery, but holding on back and power doesn't lead to the xrecovery, the text still shows up, though it has a delay and the grean light blinks once
I´m dealing with the same issue. xrecovery was installed but I can´t even access it because the cell phone hangs on Sony Ericsson logo screen.
still unsolved. cant use usb- wont connect. green blink and thats all. logo hangs up all the time.
I tried installing CM7.1 last night but after i carried out all the steps and installed update.zip, the phone said something like recovery seems bad when i tried to reboot my device. It was either reboot with bad recovery or restore current recovery, i restored the first time and reinstalled CM7.1 but the same happened so i went with reboot with bad recovery and they said you might not be able to reboot into recovery, so after the reboot i got stuck on the Sony Ericsson logo, and none of the methods (SEUS, x10 flashtool, or the battery method) work. I couldn't find a solution anywhere. Is there a way i can possible reach xrecovery via my SD Card or something?
Thanks in advance.
I had mine stuck at the logo too, but I managed to flash it with flashtool by pressing the top and middle button (to reset the battery) and then press the back button to set the phone to "flash mode". It's kind of tricky but I'm sure you'll get it after a couple of tries (you should see the green light go on).
Get a stock .tft for your mini, the run flashtool. If it won't work try different versions of flashtool and also install Gordons Gate to make the drivers detect the phone.
I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as a "bricked" phone. If you can get into "flash mode" you should be able to recover the phone.
Good luck!
Thanks alot..
I tried using the old SEUS update service (i had a setup file) and it worked, my phone is now working
I recently found a thread that I posted this question to, but I did not get an answer, so I'm posting it here, for a bigger audience.
I was trying to install an another rom to the X10 Mini with clockworkmod installed. When the installation finished, cwm said that its installation had been damaged. I selected the option to fix the problem and after that the phone just restarted and went broken.
My phone doesn't even show the boot animation, it just has the sony ericsson logo, it doesn't stay off and when restoring with flashtool I get the message Error flashing. Aborted.
First, the phone stays in the flashing mode only when I keep the back button pressed, but after a failed flashing attempt it stays in the mode (without pressing the back key and with the green led on) and when I try flashing again, it fails after a while.
What would this be about? And what can I do to recover my X10 mini?
Do you happen to know if there's a confirmed working flashtool for the 2.1 update and x10 mini (not pro) OR another failsafe method to fix the phone somehow when even the recovery doesn't work?
Have you tried SEUS?
Restore your phone using Pc Companion or seus and then read every instruction 20 times, before doing anything. The only reason for errors is that you didn't do everything right.
Hi All.
I ran mybackup root for the first time in a long time, only to find a nag screen telling me to install the latest busybox which I did. It was installed into system/bin and on rebooting my X10 mini pro I can no longer get passed the sony ericsson splash screen. I do have an older version of CWM recovery but cannot access this either. Does anybody have any suggestions? I have a custom rom and apps that I'd rather not lose by resorting back to stock.
Thanks.
Well, I've tried pc companion, and still can't get passed the SE logo so can't follow the instructions to repair the phone. Looks like the phone is bricked. This couldn't have come at a worse time, as it's days after Christmas. :crying:

You can always repair the phone, you only need flashmode to do that
Leave it unplugged, choose update in PC Companion
It can't recognise your phone so offer you the repair option
Follow the instructions and connect your phone in flashmode when it asks for it.
(Connect the usb-cable, press home and power buttons simulaneously and when the screen goes black, release those and press the back-button)
Pc companion did recognise the phone. But then asked me to use the pull down menu, as I couldn't even get passed the SE logo, I could not accomplish this task.
I have, however, flashed the phone via SEUS, and now have the SE firmware on there so am good to go. I don't know why I needed the pull down menu on PC companion, and not on SEUS to flash the phone. But at least there are other options to sort the phone out.
Thanks for the reply anyway SmG67.
Hi,
Anyone could help me with a weird behavior of Xperia Z Ultra of my sister?
THE PROBLEM:
- Trying to power it on, it boots up and stuck on "Sony Xperia" logo with no notification led sinalization.
- Once stucked on "Sony Xperia" logo, there is no response from pushing any combination of buttons ("POWER"; or "VOLUME_UP" + "POWER"; or "VOLUME_DOWN" + "POWER"). It is only possible to power it off pushing (and waiting for 3 vibrations) the red button besides the microSD card slot.
- Once powered it off, recharge is possible pluging it to the wall charger, the red led keeps solid until around 90% and then the notification led turns solid green and keeps charging until 100%. (It is possible to see the battery charge icon briefly pushing the "POWER" button).
My sister says that she has never did a system update, so it may have the stock firmware and locked boot loader; and this problem occurred few weeks after the end of the warranty during normal operation at low battery charge... when suddenly self powered off by battery discharge; after that, she plugged it at wall charger and tried to power it on, but everytime it keeps stucked on "Sony Xperia" logo since then.
MODEL IDENTIFICATION
On a stick at its box says:
Model: C6843 / Xperia Z Ultra
SI 1276-0910.12 PB
FIX TRY 1:
My first try to fix the problem was using the last version of Xperia Companion software in Windows 7 Ultimate SP1. I selected the option "Software Repair" and, following the instructions, connected the device to the USB holding the "VOLUME DOWN" button; the notification led fast blinked once red, and faster blinked once green and then turned off; Windows installed "SOMC Flash Device" driver. Aparently, the device was detected and showed the software version available to repair: 14.6.A.1.236-R3D and the repair process had gone to the end with no errors. But, after disconnected the device from USB and tried to power it on, its behavior keeped unchanged... keeped stucked on "Sony Xperia" logo.
I tried one more time with software repair of Xperia Companion, but this time I connected the device to the USB without holding any button, and for my surprise, it had gone to the end of repair process without errors! It seens like the device stucked in flash mode but without notification led sinalization!
FIX TRY 2:
I downloaded the last version (0.9.22.3) of Flashtool software of Androxyde and the last version of XperiFirm (v5.0.0).
I executed XperiFirm and browsed looking for my model/customization firmware and it showed that it has 3 firmwares for the model C6843, but curiously, there is no firmware available for my local customization SI (CDA) 1276-0910... So, I downloaded both CDA available for my country (Brazil): 1277-0849 and 1277-7513.
Using the Flashtool, I created the bundle and flashed the first (1277-0849) firmware version 14.6.A.1.236_R3D with no errors, but the problem keeped unchanged. I repeated the process with the second (1277-7513) firmware version 14.6.A.1.236_R5D, but with the same results.
Looking at the Flashtool's log, we can see that the device is detected as:
"...
Current device : C6843 - BY900EB69A - 1277-0849_R3D - 1276-7278_14.6.A.1.216 - DTV-LTE_14.6.A.1.216
..."
This is a bit confusing: witch is the CDA of my sister's device? The one on the stick at its box (1276-0910) or one of the log above (1277-0849 or 1276-7278)? I know that it is a DTV device (DTV = Digital TV).... but, anyway... none of the firmwares is fixing the problem.
I've already tried a downgrade: I downloaded a FTF from xda (C6843_14.4.A.0.108_BlueEther.ftf) and sucessfully flashed it, but also did not solve the problem. In this case, the logo at boot loader changes a little (it shows only "Sony", while in the last versions shows "Sony Xperia") proving that the boot loader is being written.
I've repeated all tries using the previous version of Flashtool (0.9.18.6), but with no different results.
As I observed when I using Xperia Companion, the same occurred with Flashtool in all tries: the device seems to be stucked in flash mode without notification led sinalization.
I've already searched xda and google for a solution, I've read lots of pages, I've tried several tips, but with no success.
Anyone have any idea of what I can do to fix the problem? :fingers-crossed:
Thank you.
Hi
I have a similar problem,
I was on AICP with the debugging mode on.
I try to flash my ZU with the the Stock ROM, I have download the files from the last version of XperiFirm of my country (France)
Here are de spec of the files :
Model: Sony Xperia Z Ultra (C6833)
Firmware version: 14.6.A.1.236_R4D
Region: Central Europe 1 (Generic) [1276-2235]
Android version: 5.1.1
Then i created my FTF file and start to flash it with flashtool
The first error appear, it was a problem with the loader.sin
Second try. I choose to flash it again and then a problem appear, it was about the system.sin this time !
The error said that i need to turn on my debbuging mode (the thing, it already was... And my phone won't start, it stay stuck on the logo screen so i can't activate it anymore)
Every try it's the same error.
And that's were I'm stuck.
I have thought about flash the boot.img system.im and else by fastboot, but I'm not sur of it..
Edit : I did it and it worked for me
First you need to be sure that your device is well charged and only then you can flash your device, you should be able to flash it. Do not forget to wipe your data when you are about to flash by choosing the right option
