1.Plug your phone to computer, to charge it.
2.When you'll think that your battery is more than 50%, unplug phone from pc. If your phone will be stuck at SE logo(or smth like that), hold "power"+"home" button until you see black screen. Than immediately press and hold "back" button, while plugging it to the pc(or mac). If you see green flashlight and black screen-->congrats, your phone is almost restored. If your phone will have black screen, just hold back button, while plugging it to the pc. Try this 3-4 times, before you'll green flash light and black screen.
3.Restore it using seus, or with Sony Ericsson Pc Companion.
P.S.GingerDX v021b requires unlocked bootloader, and flashed nAa kernel. And if you'll face some problems, pm me

I have the same situation as Eljuan28. I was sort of assuming that the Ginger installer would take care of more than it did. :-(
Reset from a "Sony Ericsson" screen via power + home was in general good information.
It took quite a few tries before I got the green light - you REALLY need to be fast or I'm simply not doing it right. I made is a few times but then it was split second, and afterwards I wasn't sure if I let of of the power toggle and home before pressing the back. Edit: messed with it several additional time, and one trick was to actually have the USB cable in when doing the reset. Got to green right away then.
Some additional questions:
PC Companion says that an X10 Mini is attached. I select repair, acknowledges that all my personal data will be deleted and it progresses for some time. Suddenly, the repair option on the PC Companion aborts with a message that Sony Ericsson upgrade servers are overloaded ... Phone screen is back with Sony Ericsson logo/text, the green light is off.
Tried with SEUS, which stated I was already with the most recent version but allowed me to proceed and go on anyway. I am not allowed to link properly to SEUS as I don't have the sufficient number of posts but a working URL to SEUK is "seuk dot tk" (on ot the XDA members own the domain and post it there).
PS: Wrong thread, but a working GingerDX 017 couldn't just be updated?
BacchusFLT,
You can update from gingerDX 017 up to 021b, if you installed (V017) the nAa kernel version. Just flash kernel and flash new gingerDX 021b. If you have stock kernel's version--> you have to flash kernel, flash gingerDX 021b and full wipe/factory reset.
Sony Ericsson's servers can be overloaded like every other server. To solve this problem, it is necessary to wait some time and try again. Optional you can use SEUS. The screen must be black, while restoring your x10 mini/pro, so if you have Sony Ericsson's logo appeared->it is impossible to restore it. To get correctly to restore mode, you must have switched off phone(watch picture)
Hope it helps.

Dear Mrakoris,
Many thanks for the patience.
First: SEUS did the trick for me. I tried multiple times with some time in between but the Companion complained about overload all the time. SEUS downloaded fine, and I cann't understand why that would work if Companion didn't - the only load on servers would be to fetch the files, and SEUS could fetch it with no problems.
Second: So, reset with the USB cable in and pressing back did work for me, and letting SEUS force install on top of the current installation. Now I am back with vanilla 2.1.1A.0.6, Kernal 2.6.29.
Again, many thanks!
I had this problem long time ago, but it happened because I tried to flash the rom even knowing my baseband was different, so my phone stuck on SE logo and restart in an infinite loop..
Luckly I had Xrecovery installed, so I mounted de SD card, and I can explain how, pc companion recognized the phone and I could restore it to the original rom.
So is a little complicated if u dont have xrecovery or CWM I think...

mate use X10Flasher to reflash phone.
It has to be all very good syncronized but after reboot press back button to enter in download mode...
My phone is neither included nor excluded, how to flash.
@valeri77:
try to flash your phone with 1.6 firmware.
Try to do a classical update with SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service).
I hope you got a backup of all your personnal data .
try keeping your battery off and use SEUS or pccompanion to "repair" the phone.. maybe something were wrong while updating last time..
let us know!
If you have problem with x10 mini(Pro don't need this, since it have removable batt). that SEUS cannot detect your phone, even after restarting and replugging and restarting and replugging again.
Try this step:
1. connect your phone
2. Start SEUS. standard process etc.
3. if it ask you to disconnect the phone and reconnect, don't
4. instead, press powerbutton+middle+right button.
5. when your phone goes blank, release the power and middle button but keep pressing the right button until it was detected.
6. from there you could do a normal firmware update.
if your x10i brick (SE Logo) and can't reboot can't access xrec and can't access flash mode (for flash generic rom)
i have a solution..
1. connect the phone to PC (USB)
2. open superOneClick v1.55 and click shell root icon
3. open FlashTool 0.2.9.1 and click Ask Root Perms
4. click menu advanced --> clean --> clear cache
5. click xrecovery icon
6. click menu advanced --> Xrecovery--> Reboot into Recovery
7. look you phone.. bingo.. u can access Xrecovery and then just install u favorit custom rom n reboot..
8. now u phone normaly n u can access flash mode to flash generic rom..

Likely the USB port is dead and you have to send it in for repair.

My X10 mini was a brick (or I thought it was) because it was behaving like you described: the phone was stuck on the SE logo and it wasn't entering Flash Mode although I pressed the back key when the Sony Ericsson white letters were displayed.
Here is my solution
Open SEUS and select your phone. Click Next.
SEUS will wait for the device.
Connect your bricked phone via the USB cable.
Then you must access Flash Mode, at all costs.
SEUS, PC Companion and FlashTool can detect this phone only in Flash Mode.
Note: If your phone is resetting correctly (pressing and holding Power+Center) and the phone is being detected as an unmounted removable drive on the computer as mine did, it should be able to enter Flash Mode, no matter it has been already stuck for ages on the first screen with the white letters. My phone had enough battery charge to go through the whole process.
To enter Flash Mode with the Xperia X10 Mini I had to:
1. Perform a hard reset of the phone (Press and hold Power+Center)
2. As soon as the phone vibrates, release both keys. Phone will restart.
3. The white Sony Ericsson logo will be displayed.
4. Press and hold Power+Center and immediatly the Back key (the three keys at the same time)
5. Keep the keys pressed until the LED turns green.
After doing the correct sequence and entering Flash Mode, the LED turns green and the screen turns completely black. SEUS detected my phone at this point, downloaded the original firmware and installed it automatically.
do u have trick for my problem here forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388476
my x10 just vibrate once and stack on blank screen.
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
When I use SEUS It keep saying "You have the newest software available"
I tried the hard reset and all. The phone now just won't start at all
Hi,
i got the same problem what you describe ive stuck at the SE logo and cant get into recovery and i cant use flashtool. i tried to do what you say in the first post, but when i press the shell root button, it says "wait for device" then its not responding, and i cant moce on to the next step... what should i do now?

X10 mini revived!
Hi,
The procedure described above works fine until you've the phone recognized by the computer.
Here's how It has finally been recognized:
1) Completely switch off the phone (Do not leave it with SE logo).
-You can do the either by removing the battery connector (be cautious) under a rubber on the left(not above) of the camera lens.
-OR when the USB is plugged in,
(1.1) press center + back + power button until power off,
(1.2) then release center and power button AND KEEP back button down(about 2-5 seconds) until green led lights on. remark:LED will stay green until you unplug USB or phone switches on.
(1.3) Unplug USB.
Your phone should be OFF now. SE logo doesn't appear anymore (Wait 30s to be sure)
2) Unplug the USB cable from computer and plug it in another USB port of the PC.
3) At this time, if you plug USB on your X10 mini, it should be recognized as a SEMC device (It has worked for me).
-Success? Go step 4
-Failure, retry (from step 2 should be enough) with another USB port. If you've tryied all ports already, I've no idea.
4) If step 3 is successful, unplug USB.
5) Start SEUS (update service program from SE), choose you phone, follow the instructions on screen. Remark: Even if it says that you've got the last version, there is an "Install" button available on the bottom right corner. Click it!
Hope it'll help.

I am trying to Reflash but only Flash button is active and it doesn't show any firmware though I have copied both zip and unzipped files in firmware folder in FlashTool_0.2.9.1
I tried to use SuperOneClick to root but it gets stuck in Waiting for device. Kindly help.

Press home+power button until you see black screen, then immediately press and hold back button plugging your phone into computer.

From this mod, you can restore your phone, using SE restore tools: SEUS and Sony Ericsson Pc Companion, or flash stock kernel using flashtool.
P.S. If you wont see black screen and green flashlight for the first time, try it again, again until you putt your phone safely into restore mode.
Thank you for the reply, the black screen do u mean the black screen with Sony Ericsson Text ? When I Press Home+Power Button I can see the Sony Ericsson Text Black Screen and then I press and hold the back buton Pluging my phone into computer I keep on seeing the Sony Ericsson Text Black Screen with no green flashlight.
I am still trying.
Black screen without any logos. Just black screen. Don't forget to hold back button.
Doing that, but it still gets into Sony Ericsson Text Screen, I press home and the power button, black screen for a while and I press back button and try to connect the phone the Sony Ericsson logo appears.
But When the cable connected and back button pressed the I can see the charging image and green light flash.
and in Flasher it shows the following :-
07/007/2012 23:07:36 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
07/007/2012 23:07:36 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode

reflash to stock kernel and ROM
- install PC companion.
- connect phone in repair mode
- install drivers.
- after driver installed, reflash stock kernel using flashtool
- after stock kernel installed, reflash stock ROM using PC companion
- after stock kernel and ROM flashed,your phone should be like just when you bought it.
- bootloader should be locked now
- Root again
- unlock bootloader again
- Flash nAa again
- Flash cm7 again
- DONE!
Thank you for your reply, I have PC Companion Installed, I have a Generic Firmware downloaded, I have no idea what a stock kernel is ?
I am not able to get into this repair mode, I think this mode is when the flash light flashes ?
from the Bootloader part, I think I can do it because I did it before following a tutorial. If you can lease help me with the prior stage to bootloader lock would be highly grateful.
Thank u
Ones again: to enter restore mode you have to power off your phone, using home+power buttons or powering off like I have on picture. Then press and hold back button, while plugging it into computer.

- To relock bootloader you need to flash stock kernel which is 2.1.0.a.06 kernel.
- You need to flash stock kernel because if you have nAa kernel or any custom kernel installed, you wont be able to repair your phone using pc companion.
- After flashing stock kernel:
1. open pc companion
2. click support zone. (click start below it)
3. after clicking start, there should be a new window which also has a "start button"
4. on the 2nd start button, there should be a button under it which says "repair"
5. after clicking repair, just follow the steps for you to connect your phone in repair mode.
6. complete the repair installation.
7. DONE!
8. Bootloader should be locked now.
Thank you I was able to restore through PC Companion by getting into repair mode, however I didn't use flashtool to flash prior to usin PC Companion.
Thank you both for your kind support, Highly appreciated.

You are welcome my friend
And how should I proceed if I have a really hard brick (u20a)?
I tried to flash nAn on it, followed some instructions to unlock the bootloader, but something went wrong, the results were not the ones that should had been, and I made the mistake of turning it off. Now whenever I try to power it on, it doesn't do squat.
The only thing that makes me think it's still alive is that (after several months) I plugged it in and it began blinking on red (perhaps really low battery).
I've tried to pull the battery, put it back in, press back (keeping it pressed), and then plugging the cable to the computer and nothing.
Any ideas? Or should I flush it down the toilet? :crying:

Hi,
I would like to ask you for advice before throwing my X10 mini away and buying something else.
I have had MiniCM7 installed for a very long time (more than a year), and upgraded to all versions without any problem. Today I installed MiniCM9 3.0.2, but I decided to reinstall MiniCM7 because of some problems detected with this version, so I went to SEUS, downgraded to 2.1.1.A.0.6, installed BusyBox, xMiniRecovery, root and flashed MiniCM7 2.2.0 and gapps. I have done it quite a lot of times before.
But, when I tried to reboot onto MiniCM7 2.2.0, my phone was stuck onto Sony Ericsson logo. Here's what I did:
1) Ok, Home+Power and reenter into recovery by pressing back key. No, no luck, it doesn't enter into any recovery.
2) B plan, I'll go to SEUS again. Home+Power, connect USB and keep back key pressed. Nothing, SEUS doesn't recognize anything, but Companion does activate a little popup on my Windows, as if it detects my phone plugged into my computer. No red, yellow, or green lights in the phone.
3) C plan. Flash kernel directly. I downloaded kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17674938#post17674938 and used FlashTool. But, again, when I press Home+Power, connect the USB cable and press back key, it doesn't recognize anything, FlashTool is waiting for me to connect something. Antivirus is disabled.
If I keep back key pressed, no SE logo appears; black screen. If I release back key for a little while, SE logo appears and it gets stuck.
Both if I connect it to the computer or to the power socket, no green/yellow/red led appears.
Does anybody have any idea? Everything (cable and phone) were working wonderfully before flashing 2.1.1.A.0.6 for the last time.
Kind regards,
Jordi
Ok,before u try this u should know it will delete everything of phone memory:apps,contacts,etc.
And it removes root and recovery and phone will be like the day u bought it except that bootloader is not touched if unlocked stays unlocked
TRY AT UR OWN RISK
Steps:
1-download sony erricsson pc companion
2-click support zone and choose software update
3-before clicking continue click on repair phone
4-wait till loads and choose phone type
5-concentrate on this one cuz it has 2 methods

Hi,
Thank you very much for your quick answer. I had never realized the procedure shown in steps 2-4.
But Companion refuses to install it! "It's impossible to install or setup update components of phone sotfware" grrrrrrrrrrrrr Tomorrow I'll try to get another computer and follow your procedure.
Thank you very much
Always happy to help as ive been in such issues alot

You say you have an X10 Mini, and not an X1O Mini-Pro.
The X10 Mini requires you to run the nAa-kernel in order to run the latest verstion of MiniCM7.
You say you downgraded back to stock firmware and installed MiniCM7 again, did you forget about the kernel?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhh you are right!!!!!!! I have installed kernels and versions a lot of times on my device, and I was so confident of myself that this time I didn't realize I was missing one of the most important steps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So stupid of me.......!!!!!!!
I've tried PC Companion as suggested before, but no way: it doesn't detect the "flash mode" at boot time. I keep pressing Back key and I only get a black screen; when I release Back key, SE logo appears and gets stuck forever. It doesn't matter if I try SEUS, PCCompanion or FlashTool, it's always the same. I can't shut it down, just restart over and over again via Home+Power.
Does anybody know what can I do?
Kind regards,
Jordi

Only thing i can think off is to press home-power-back at the same time and release home and power when the screen goes black, all this with the phone connected to the pc via usb, but i'm not sure if that will work.

I do not know what did I do, but by trying for the 1000th time to do the Home+Power+Back key combination with USB connected and keeping Back key pressed, and pressing and releasing it madly afterwards, while FlashTool was waiting for me to flash MiniCM7, FlashTool has reacted!!!!!! It allowed me to install MiniCM7 again!!!
What happened? I do not know, perhaps I pressed Back key just the microsecond that the hardware needed it.
Thank you very much!!!!
hahaha, cool And here i was thinking you were trying to flash the kernel, lol
But good luck

Ok, you are right again; FlashTool allowed me to install the kernel ;-) and then, everything else.
Thank you very much, really!!!
Hi
I'm pretty sure I'm posting an extremelly noob question-cry for help.
Two days ago I tried to change the rom on my X10 mini pro. the bad thing is that I used wrong rom file possibly a rom file for the X8 and after that I'm stucked in an eternal loop sequence. The device dispays SE logo on boot and after a couple of seconds starts to load the ROM however since the rom is failed to load the system reboots after few seconds.
The bad thing is that the back key compination (five times back) doesnt obey and I can't enter to xRecovery.
I also tried SE PC Companion and Flashtool but the loop sequence disconnects the device before I try to send any command.
Any Ideas to save my phone?
In order to enter flashmode, do he following: Press the Power, Home and Back buttons simultaneously. as soon as your screen goes black, release the Power and Home buttons and keep backbutton pressed.
If you want to repair with PC Companion, keep your phone disconnected from the pc until it asks to connect it in flashmode
I really want to thank all the members here on the community.
After of few (maybe lot of) tries I managed to restore my device back to its original stock ROM.
Many Thanks
Hey buddie use the SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service).
