Hello comrades,
I have xperia x10 mini pro. I rooted phone with Flashtool and installed CWM. I tried to boot it in flash mode (turned off phone, back button held and plugged in USB into the phone), but what I get is that my phone turned on always, like that I pressed Power button.
Earlier I couldn't boot it into the flash mode and I got that I charging battery, but after I installed CWM, phone always turns on.
Due to, I can't re-flash it because it always turns on. I tried with flashtool, PC companion, SEUS but all software need that I turn off phone and then hold back button and plug in usb and what I get is turned on phone. Please help me how to fix this problem.
I would like to re-flash it to stock 2.1.1.A.0.6 (2.1-update1).
Phone turns on even if I just plug in usb to phone (one end is in the PC and when I plug in other end into the phone, phone turns on). What is wrong guys?

Happened to me b4 if u want to repair with pc comp just remove the battery till u reach connection step then quickly connect battery and cable (nvm the cover) and hold back button when connecting if u do fast enough will work

THX nAa. VERY MUCH!!!
Leave your phone plugged in and press POWER-HOME and BACK all together, as soon as the screen turns completelly black (backlight off too) releast POWER and HOME, and leave the back-button pressed, that will probably work too.

Can you explain me a little more detailed, i didn't get you very well. I am noob
How do you mean until I reach connection step, where should I reach connection step?
You take out the battery, then you go into PC Companion and follow the steps to repair your phone, until it asks to connect your phone in flash-mode.
Then do as he said (put the battery in etc.)

What do you think, what will happened if I wipe it using CWM? Can I brick it on that way?
If you mean formatting your phone, so you don't have a system on there anymore... that probably will give you a brick. Flashmode is a hardware feature, implemented to install firmware and enable reparations to your phone's software.
Deleting everything you can will not magically solve your problem, as far as i know.
It might help if you get mad at the phone and abuse the back-button by repeatedly pressing it when connecting the phone.

Does this mean that I have hardware problem. Phone works without any problem.
Somehow it doesn't detect you pressing the back-button, maybe there is some dust or dirt inbetween the contacts or something, since you flashed sucessfully before i don't think it's a serious hardware-problem.

I didn't flashed it before, I couldn't do that. I couldn't unlock bootloader, because I couldn't boot it in flash mode (phone just show that battery charging), after installing CWM now phone even don't show that battery is charging (it turns on when I plug in USB in the phone without holding any button). This is nightmare!
You are still on the original firmware then?
I mean, your phone still works?

Yes, I am on original firmware and phone still works, but I have problem to boot it in flash mode. When I plug in USB cable in the phone it turns on, like that I pressed POWER button. I don't press any button, but when I plug in usb cable 10-20 seconds and phone is on.
Yes, because your phone detects the usb-cable getting plugged in, even when it's off, it thinks you want to charge it, so (normally) it loads the kernel in order to start the charging-process, that is normal behaviour. I have been on a kernel that didn't support that feature, and it booted into the full rom before it started charging.
In short: the usb-port also functions as a power-button, sort off
Does the back-button work normally when you're on the firmware? (Like, open the app-drawer, pressing back-button should close it?)

Yes, the back button works perfect, closing apps (not close apps, but back to the phones "desktop"), back to previous pages in browser...
I am concerned because, before I installed CWM , when it was OFF and plugged in on USB, phone just showed black screen and when I clicked on some button I could see that battery is charging, that was all. Now, when I plug in USB it turns on like I pressed POWER button.
And off course never booted in flash mode because it turns on

What is app-drawer, I don't know what is that.
oh, that's the bit where you find all your installed apps, the grid you see when you press on the little triangle on the bottom of your desktop, or swipe up on the desktop.
I honestly don't know why your phone won't go into flash-mode though. Maybe try to take out your battery for about 10 minutes so your phone gets rid of all charge and static, and then try again.

I solved problem about POWER-ing on when I plug in USB. I installed new ROM "MiniCM7Pro_V21_Paul_XXX" via CWM because I didn't need to boot it in flash mode and now when I plug in USB I got that it charging battery and orange led diode.
But I can't boot it in flash mode even with new ROM, all the time orange led diode when I hold back button and plug in USB. I wiped out all date except something about "battery" from Advanced CWM options.

when i want turn on it red led light my computer not detected my phone
what to do?
plz help
**** happens....
Try to flash the firmware (a .ftf file) with Flashtool. You can find both in this forum.
If it doesn't work the first time, keep trying. Needed two tries until flashing process correctly started in my case.
well, two options:
phone has to be turned off, remove battery for doing so, if you have to
in both cases your phone has to be definitely turned OFF!!!
press volume down while connecting your phone via usb -> if led turns green, you can flash your phone via flashtool using a
ftf-file
or
hold volume up while connecting your phone via usb -> if led turns blue you can flash a kernel (with clockwork mod would be best) and flash rom via clockwork mod
kinda confusing for me, cause i read everywhere that flashing your phone via sus is the last option to revive your phone after a failed flash.
but if THIS ****ed your phone up, im not sure if one of the above solutions will make your phone work again.
but give it a try. and report back
First, sorry for my bad English!!
I was using Stock ROM 6.1.1.b.1.10 with Phantom Kernel and do a little change in apps, then suddenly stupid me want to update to Google Bean Z (u can find in Go Development) without recovery neither flash back to Stock. Now my phone's bricked. Every time I boot, it stucks at Phantom Logo but I can access to CWM, I try to flash back via Flashtool but when I connect and hold Power+ Volume -, my computer say Device not Recognized....and nothing happen :| i'm using window 8.1 and I just installed Flashtool 3 hrs ago(I've installed all the drivers), I don't know if this is Flashtool Problem or my phone problem, can anyone detect for me ?
Are you sure you've installed the drivers like this way?
http://www.technipages.com/windows-8-disable-driver-signing.html
In Flashtool drivers your Xperia Go, Flash mode, and Fastboot drivers must be checked.
yup I did that way and all the drivers checked, then I tried to delete USB HUB Driver but when Flashing, installing phone driver still Not Recognized....
USB 3 ports won't work, you must use USB 2 or change in BIOS xHCI to EHCI if you have this option.
Also I read someone said windows 8.1 has no solution yet.
So sad to hear that On the way back to win 7....
Xperia go hard bricked, not starting in flash mode nor fastboot
Sorry, i'm new here, i've downloaded roms and some other stuff here, but now i have a serious problem. I had this GoogleBeAnZP rom on my phone (i had root, unlocked bootloader and CWM) and it was fine!!! actually it was running smooth, but i wanted to try another rom, i tried to instal a JB custom rom that i saw over the internet, so i entered the recovery mode and installed this rom with aroma installer. it said that everything was installed, and that it was going to reboot, so i waited, and NOTHING HAPPEND!!! now, i try to enter flashmode to instal the rom from flashtool and i can't even enter flash mode. my cellphone is really dead, all it does is turn a red light when i connect it. once it turned on the green light like when it enters flash mode but not anymore. I've hold the down button before connecting it, like a hundred times, trying to reboot the phone pressing the up volume button and the power button at the same time but its dead. it keeps showing the red LED indicator but not starting. i've been reading hundreds of posts but no cellphone does what mine does. i tried SEUS, flashtool but both require flashmode and I simply can't enter!!
All i get is this red light from the LED but no response in my phone. the screen doesn't blink neither vibrates
HEEELLLLP!!!!!

If you are on stock then try factory resetting your phone through stock recovery.
If the above process didn't work, try to flash stock ftf through flashtool.
And if you are rooted, try clean flashing ROM through custom recovery.

connect the phone to charger for few hours and let it be so that it charges for sometime. then after that press the power button and volume up button for few seconds till it vibrates a few times and connect to flashtool when it asks to connect and flash. if this works let us know. definitely your phone is not bricked if sony logo is coming. dont worry.

when the phone is in the charger all it does is bring up the sony logo which can't be turned off , and there is no orange led light indicating charging , the phone heated after 10 minutes in the charger ....is it charging even though the led isn't turning on ? i fear if i leave it in the charger it might get overheated for nothing

Try the same procedure on win7
(Flashtool may not work on win8 and above)
If you are already on win7 try uninstalling BlueStacks, Youwave, VirtualBox etc (if you have them).
If everything above didn't work, try installing latest essential drivers and latest flashtool.
Unluckily if you still have the same problem then try downloading and flashing ftf from different servers.
Hope you do it well

i guess its charged enough even if its not showing the led light for charging. its never working on the sony logo part of bootup. try connecting it to flashtool like the way i said. and please make sure you have all the drivers installed beforehand. if you had ever run it earlier then all drivers will be present. let us know.
dont worry about windows. i'm using it on win8 without any problem. just take care of drivers.
Thanks guys....i have tried another laptop with installing all the drivers,then i put the phone in the charger for 15 mins , and flashed an ftf through flashtool and it is booting up normally as we speak !
Ok, hi guys... yesterday I misinterpreted some instructions before flashing Rajeev's PureX v4.1 rom... was on Niaboc79's ExistenZ Y v2.6.0... so went on, wiped and factory resetted... then, instead of formatting system/data, I formatted data AND system so obviously now it gets stuck at the Sony logo when booting because it has nothing to boot up and the only way to shut it off is with the small red button on the left side until it vibrates, resets then shuts off...
I then told myself I could simply flash a .FTF back from FlashTool, but alas, not this time... ok, I'm on D6503 Z2 with locked bootloader which is not unlockable... and now, when my phone's off and FlashTool asks to connect phone in flash mode the phone doesn't act as it normally would. when plugging usb cable, instead of the original green led, it quickly shows red, then green then nothing and on flashtool we can now see an error which is shown in the screenshot below.
Drivers are installed and I guess the problem now has to do with the bogus leds as they are the same just trying to connect in flash mode out of FlashTool... I Googled and read a lot about it yesterday on XDA and the only potential answer I could find was telling to flash a .ftf whrough FlashTool which was my first bet anyway but now, I really can't think of anything and would please appreciate your assistance about that... I hate to say this but I must admit what I'm requesting now is some help to get me through my own f*** up, please...
Might be a corrupt .ftf , try downloading another one or build your own with xperifirm+flashtool.
You can also try repairing with sony pc companion app...
Thanks for the quick answer... In fact I tested with 4 different ftfs I know are working... and as I said the problem is with the inability of phone to enter flash mode and its wrong leds when connecting to flash mode; not a software issue... I also tried with PCCompanion but it fails at detecting the phone since it freezes at the Sony logo and doesn't boot anything...
EDIT it also doesn't charge when I plug usb or ac. Instead it quickly toggles leds red, green, none one time and stays off... same way as when I try connecting it to flashmode holding vol-...
I've flashed many sony phones that don't boot / bootloop with flashtool and they always come to life again unless there's hardware problems
You phone is beeing detected in flashtool as beeing in flashmode so it's entering the correct mode. As a last resort i would try flashing on another pc/os , i still think it's pc related... are you using any android emulator on the pc? bluestacks / andy or that kind of stuff?
They cause loader.sin errors too... had that happen once on my work computer, uninstalled bluestacks and flashed fine afterwards.
Sorry i can't think of anything else right now...
I don't have another pc, but I reinstalled a pc backup so it is as when I originally set it up... reinstalled flashtool, reinstalled drivers and launched FlashTool to flash a .FTF. It just did the same as before flashes red, flashes green then nothing but the same errot message in FlashTool... but I noticed one thing, everytime I just plug phone to pc, Flashtool states it's in Flash mode as it is not. it was simply plugged in... and I don't use such as BlueStacks... and anyway the phone's leds react wrongly first then the asked action, flashing, cannot be applied hence the error message in FlashTool... thanx for your help...
I'm really used to flashing stuff and I know my mistake now was to format the system partition. From that time, it became impossible to flash any .ftf and the only info, signal I've got is the led quickly displaying red then green led intead of just green then starting to flash, when cable is plugged in, holding VOL-...
Damn formatting the system partition should not hard-brick your phone bro i've done exactly the same mistake on my also unlockable BL Z2 a long time ago, wiped everything and rebooted the phone without flashing the rom xD phone would only show sony logo (can't remember led status) but it flashed normally and came back to life. maybe you got really really unlucky and your bootloader got messed up somehow :| You already did everything i would have done without success, i'm also out of ideas... but xda is full of great minds, maybe someone else can help you better.
You are absolutely right... I had done the same mistake on my xperia T, a while back, and a simple flash from flashtool had taken care of it... I don'T even come to ask for help, usually... when I mess things up, I have always succeeded in bringing the thing back to life... until now...
thanx a lot for your help.
EDIT: Oh, even worse now... when flashtool is done preparing the FTF to be flashed and asks to plug in phone holding VOL-, I tried just plugging the phone WITHOUT holding any button and it did the exact same error I screenshotted earlier, with same red/green/none scheme... So computer really sonsiders phone to be in flashmode from the moment it's plugged in...
No problem, wish i could help more. It does seem like your phone is stuck on fastboot or flashmode. If you just power on the phone and connect it to pc (no flashtool running) does your pc device manager detect your phone? what device does it detect? If you connect in fastboot mode (vol up + plugin usb cable) what do you see in the device manager? Maybe try completely discharging your phone, leave it powered on for a day or so until the battery dies completely, maybe it'll "reset" to normal mode? Just throwing some ideas now, at least we're keeping the thread alive, maybe someone more expert will look at it too
Why you guys quoting every post? Makes it tedious scrolling on mobile.
@rubiicon59 old habits lol xD i edited my posts and removed the quotes, since no one else is participating in the thread they aren't really needed...

first, sorry for the late answer... ok,,, when I only plug usb cable into phone, it is not detected... However, I can boot into fastboot and then it's detected in device manager as in the screenshot below... But, it does flash red just before turning blue for fastboot... just the same quick red flash as when I plug USB in...

Just a quick tip- don't use the red button, it is only for emergency and it is annoying to open the flap everytime. Instead, use the Power + Volup and hold for a few seconds.
WOW! reallly can'T say why it didn't work first time, but I tried reinserting sd card and retake it out, started one last time to flash a .ftf and it worked.... Great, now back on my backup... everything working as it should now....
thanx to @BlAckXpeRia for the reminder tip... Red button should only be used when everything else failed to shut the phone down...
and of course, thanks to @ptmaniac for your help all along these stressful last 2 days... THANKS!!!
oh yeah, SOLVED
Nice!! i really really like this phone, i would be very sad if it died on me like that, good to hear you got your phone back
M having same issue without any SD card, what should I do ? :'(
