Open pc companion, start update and click where it says Repair phone, select your model and pc companion will rewrite your firmware even if it doesn't have what to update.
If that doesn't work, try flashing using flashtool, a tutorial is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 , and you'll find a firmware here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733 .

Click on the upper part of PC companion where it says "your phone is up to date" or something like that.
Then it will give you the option to repair, click repair and follow the steps on screen.

[Q] Xperia Mini not booting after flash (warning sign)

Hello,
I do not wish to annoy anyone. I seek some help. Before posting and mostly before doing anything with my phone I read all information I could find.
Unlocking bootloader (hardware and official way), rooting, the autoinstaller for CWM. The flashtool, the wotan server, SEUS.
Yesterday I've upgraded my firmware via PC Companion to .62. However this unrooted my phone and I wanted to go back to the old firmware so
I flashed it with WotanServer
After this my phone didnt start and after the SE logo a sign with excalmation mark and phone appeared.
Please, help me. Tell me what should be my next step. Can i fix it myself? Should i pay to someone in the local shop with neon advertisment to fix it?
Please.
Anton.
Download SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Software), and repair your phone with it.
I got same problem with WotanServer, SEUS solved it.
@tomassz82,
can you point me to a working link. All links that I have for SEUS redirect me to a sony support page?
I also forgot to mention that I have done a backup via CWM but I don't know how to restore it as I can't go into CWM anymore.
Ok. Fixed. Thank you tomassz82 for the hope
For future reference: SEUS is an outdated piece of software.
Sony Ericcson PC Companion is its successor.
Intially PC companion fails to recognize the device because it's not turned on completely (by completely i mean booted to the Android).
I restarted my computer. When I connect the phone and start PC Companion somehow, seemingly at random it still doesn't allow to update but it will recognize it once or twice and offer repair. Do it!
Wipe personal settings bla bla..
I could not manage to repair the phone with PCC, but SEUS worked like a charm.
@tomassz82
Which verions of SEUS are you running and where did you downloaded from?

[Q] X10 mini doen't start anymore and SEUS unable to restore stock kernel

Hello,
i tried to put minicm9 on my x10 mini. It has work but sim card is not detected.
After that, i made a big fault
I used s1tools to relock my phone (by restore button) in order to see if my sim card becomes detected
Now, my phone doesn't start (led blinks one time and vibrator and no more)
I tried to use SEUS to restore stock kernel but it says i have the latest release and no button to force
With flashtool, i can't flash another kernel because my bootloader is now relocked and i have nothing in pluging menu
Any ideas of what i can do to have my phone starting ?
Thanks and regards

Hello,
i have already try this but SEUS indicates that i have the latest version of software and no other possibilities offer by SEUS except "exit" button
i got a.ftf file of generic 2.1-update1 that you can flash with flashtool if you want
pm me
Disconnect your phone from your computer
in PC Companion, go into "support zone" choose update
It will say: phone not found and give you the repair option

Thanks, i tried also this manip with SE PC companion but as SE Update Service, it says that i have the latest version and no way to repair
If you disconnect your phone from your computer, it can't say you have the latest verstion because it cannot find it and it will give you the repair option.
Once you click that, it won't check for phonetype or software anymore, it will let you select a model, download the firmware and flash it.
SE PC Companion 2.1

Yes, you are right for SE PC companion
After select my model, at step 3 (update) when i plug my phone, a window opens with "no software available for your phone, try later" (in french with my se pc companion but i translate, well i hope)
very well translated indeed no problems there
just strange that it can't find a firmware for your selected device, does PC Companion connect to the internet? top right corner of main screen (PC Companion settings), proxy settings, test...
If that's ok, then i'm lost too, sorry

yes, pc companion connected to internet
perhaps, if i could unlock again my phone with flashtool in order to flash a kernel...
but, plugin menu is empty.
No idea to force something to have plugin menu available to unlock ?
Nevertheless, thanks for your help
I have no idea, the unlock bootloader option is only available if you're on 2.1 (eclair) 2.2 (froyo) or 2.3 (gingerbread), and your phone has ICS at the moment, so that won't work i guess... i am really lost about your problem, I would think maybe try the repair a few more times, maybe SE had a server problem or something, but other than that, i don't know...
I wish you luck
one last thing...
maybe repair your phone with your sim-card removed may do the trick...

I've read somewhere that other people with french firmwares have trouble updating via PC Companion and things, maybe you could flash the nordic or uk firmware that is lying around on the forums here in de dev section and then try a repair after that,
You can flash firmwares with a locked bootloader, just not kernels. (sorry, i hate to see such a lovely little phone go to waste)
You can still select french as your language if it works...
http://www.multiupload.com/GM4VW1LNVV and choose the rapidshare link, the other ones are down...

Thanks a lot,
but could you help me again ? in your zip file, which file should i flash ?
Is it nordic or uk firmware that you speak or another thing ?
Regards
It is Nordic, but i don't think that will be a big problem
You unpack the .rar file and put the .ftf file into the firmwares folder found in the flashtool-installation folder
Start Flashtool - Press the flashbutton, choose the .ftf you just put in there and connect your phone in flashmode.
If the flash is succesful, turn off your phone and try a repair with PC Companion.
Fingers crossed...

But there are not .ftf files in .rar file (amss.sin, amss_fs.sin, cache.sin, fota0.sin, fota1.sin, kernel.sin, loader.sin, system.sin, userdata.sin).
Should i rename a file with .ftf extension and in this case which ?
Thanks
Sorry, i found the possility to create firmware in flashtool with these files
After flashing, i success to update with pc companion (not with seus)
But i am again face to my original problem, the phone doesn't see the sim card (i tried with others sim card from different operators)
I don't know if you have an idea about this issue, but nevertheless, thanks a lot for your help
Try the steps in here, It may work..
Basically,
(I guess your bootloader is still locked, otherwise, lock it again)
do a repair without your simcard in your phone
do a full boot without the simcard
once it's booted, don't set up anything, but turn your phone off again
put your sim in, and reboot

PC companion says my phone is up to date!!?

PC companion is not showing me the 4.0.4 update!! It says my GB is up to date! And updating from the website itself is crashing my explorer!! Any ideas?
maybee in your region is your Phone up to date
maybee you can try the Sony Update Service http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/ (because Companion works just the half of time proper )
or you try the Method to install an FTF with Flashtool (you found the instructions under "Sony Xperia SDevelopement" on this side
but the SI for my phone got released today :/ I dont get why its not showing me the update?
wait for a while... and try update Service and not Companion...
yes I will try thanks!
And when you get it read the guides on here and get the ftf file for us :-D
has anyone, who's SI number was listed, managed to update the official way (i.e not via flashtool)?
even the sony update service is not working!! I dont wana flash anything -.- Its asking me to repair software, but I guess that will only re-install Gingerbread!!

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
