if you can get into fastboot mode (keep VOL+ and attach usb) - then it's not bricked.. when phone does not go into flash mode or fasboot mod e-then it's briked.
Flash back using wotan client

The LED should light blue.

Restore stock firmware with Flashtool, as WotanServer is no longer free. You can find stock firmware files from the forum, my tutorial for example(check in signature).
To use Hybrom ROM, you need to unlock bootloader, then install custom kernel and then install the ROM.
The kernel probably already includes Clockworkmod Recovery, so you don't have to install it. Just enter the recovery after kernel installation, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and Dalvik cache and then install the ROM.
Thanx a hell lot
I got my phone recovered
Rerooted busy box installed
N tried installin cyanogen 7.1
Some error again :-(
Did is properly
Tried installin cyanogen on x8 long back
Without unlockin boot loader
Worked extremely wel
But here, not happenin :-(
It's very unlikely the ROM you're trying to install requires only the stock kernel, have you double checked the thread to make sure an unlocked bootloader isn't required?
All 2011 Xperia custom ROMs require custom kernel and unlocked bootloader.
Only Xperia UXP NXT ROM can run on stock kernel, every other ROM you must unlock bootloader and install custom kernel.

Bootloader unlock voids warranty. Official method also removes DRM keys.
Installing custom ROM removes all your data.

Yes, if you use the official unlock method you'll permanently lose DRM keys (which will stop things such as TrackID working).
The s1tool method retains these keys.

Only the original TrackID stops working, if you install from Market, it will work.
So far I have had no problems with losing DRM keys.

Turn off phone, hold down Volume UP, connect USB Cable, then your phone is in fastboot mode, blue LED lights up. The screen stays turned off, nothing will appear there. You are now able to install kernels via fastboot. To exit this, just disconnect the cable.
The same thing, but with Volume DOWN button and your phone is in flashmode, then you can install stock firmware back via Flashtool or SMUS(Sony Mobile Update Service).
To enter Recovery, turn on your phone in regular way, and when screen turns brighter(on some custom kernels, also LED turns on), click Volume DOWN button many times until the Recovery menu appears.

i used flashtool the latest version which is 0.9.0.0 built on 2012-07-19
i booted from my SE with the blue screen and menus to load the kernel NAa from SD card.
everything went fine after rebooting the device is stuck on faint Sony Ericsson text no animated logo on anything after

ignore this msg. just put the email notification on
Btw this Forum is for xperia Mini (pro) (sk17i) and Not for x10 Mini pro (u20i?). But:
When you try to enter cwm, what Do you mean with Start and hold volume +/-? You nedd to press it again and again, then you get in cwm. If that doesn't work Flash stock Firmware back.

Hi,
Here is my problem.
I have Xperia x10 mini/ yesterday , but mistake, I installed the firmware of the X10 mini PRO !!!
Now, once I understood the mistake, I want to flash with x10 mini firmware.
In order to flash I need to have FLASHTOOLS and need to press the BACK button - the problem is that since the phone is using now the wrong firmware, the BACK button (needed for the flushing ) doesn’t do anything and thus, I cannot install the correct firmware. I tried pushing all other buttons without any luck.
Any idea how I can overcome this problem ? I can’t use my phone now.
which firmware you are wrong installed. ROM or kernel.

Hey Guys .
I'm Not a Noob In Android But This Low - End Devices Just Are So Confusing.
I've Got a Xperia Mini Pro ( With Keyboard ) . and I Rooted It and Installed X - Parts http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437840
and Flashed This ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739569&page=2 .
After Flashing , Now I Can't Enter Recovery ( I Press The Buttons at The Sony Ericsson Logo , No Luck )
The Screen Goes Blank After The Logo and I Can't Do Anything.
Do You Suggest Anything?
( Boot Loader Locked , I Selected The Lock Option In AROMA )
Thanks In advance.
Can you get into recovery mode?
1)Take out the battery of your phone, wait for a few minutes, put it back again.
2) Then hold down the volume key, and plug in the usb cable (connected to your computer)
Does the LED light flash green? If it does, you can flash the official firmware back into your phone and get it working again.
if you have bootloader locked, that would mean that recovery would also be removed, you should have installed the postInstallCWM which can be found here in the forums. i suggest that you reflash stockROM and root then install CWM again. you should have read the forums about custom roms and locked bootloaders
Try this for recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774119
and this for flashing ROM on locked bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832255
Use the power button not the volume down

Hi guys!
I can not run flash mode in a neo (note here, this is not my phone, I only trying to repair it somehow).
When I turn it on, only sony logo appears, than xperia logo aaaand it reboots. When I'm trying to start flashmode, (holding "back" than connecting to pc) it is just turning on, sony logo, charging (also when I'm trying to start fastboot mode). What can I do with it?
(plus info: the owner of this phone was try to upgrade his rom to android 4.1.2, and I don't know... maybe he did not unlock the bootloader or didn't flash the kernel or what...)

To enter flash mode, you need to hold the "Menu" key and not the "back" key while attaching it to the PC. Make sure you do this when the device is turned OFF!
