I tried to update my Xperia Neo, but someone managed to pull out the Usb cable when the phone began to flash. Now i'm facing a bricked phone, imposible to enter in Flash mode or Fastboot mode as I did before(no green led, no blue led, nothing). I pulled out the battery for 1 hour, rom prepared everything, but after I insert the usb cable by holding the back button, instead of flash mode, a "Sony Ericsson" screen apears without the green logo. I cant shut down the phone from the on/off button, cant flash, cant do nothing to get it back to live. When the "Sony Ericsson" screen apears, the pc makes that hardware connecting sound, and pc companion pops out telling me: "phone connected" and shows furter steps...but I can see only the "se" screen, no flashing or updating program can connect my phone no more. Please help me with a solution to be able to flash (repair) phone. I've tried: wotan, flash tool, FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick, Octopus suite, Omnius for SE, Se update, PC Companion, Seus, no results (can't connect into Flash mode, the phone cant be seen). I respected all the steps, flashed it succesfull several times. Thank you in advance, and have a great day! Sorry for long post and bad english.

could be the battery. removing it for a couple of seconds or a minute if you like. do some initial charging like 5 to 10 mins or so then try it again. ive seen a couple of post that it worked that way.

Its from thread : [Q] Sony Ericsson Xperia x10 mini pro DEAD by gustavo.momente
I need to flash my X10 Mini, but I can't find the firmware for It anywhere with a working link. Anyone that still have the file and willing to share?
There are only plenty of links to sites that are down
I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.9-robyn on the phone and then afterwards it just won't start anymore, so i need to flash it and then use SEUS to restore it.
UPDATE!
I found everything and fixed everything I needed by just flashing It with a stock kernel.
Just use the Repair option in Pc Companion.

I'm not looking for how to do It..... Read the question before you post. I appreciate you trying to help, but at least understand what the question Is first.
I'm looking for the firmware for the flashtool so I can flash my device (.ftf file)
They guides that teaches you how to fix a bricked phone got links to megaupload (that got shutdown not long ago) and multiupload (also got shutdown) for the firmware I'm looking for.
If you can't turn the phone on, then flashtool won't help you. You have to able to turn the phone on to get to download mode for flashtool, or Pc Companion, or SEUS to do their thing.
If your phone doesn't turn on, you've got a hard brick. Which is bad.

No, it can be a hard brick, he didn't do anything to put his device in danger (from what he claims).
He just needs a stock .ftf file for mini, which I was planning to do in the past, but did only for the pro... I am sorry my friend... There is only one solution -to make the ftf file yourself, which is something very confusing and you are going to need another mini to do this. But don't get your hopes down, it is possible, at least...

The phone it self comes to a point where there is some light on the screen, but i can't see the SE Logo anymore. I can charge the phone without problem from what it looks.
If I can get hold of another mini how can I make the ftf?
What did I do to achive this problem??
I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.9-robyn and it ended with a phone that got stuck during boot. Then I got to a guide where someone said "Hardreset the device and use SEUS", but SEUS always says that my phone has the latest software.

As far as SEUS is concerned, you DO have the latest software. It just doesn't realise that what you have doesn't work. Select the option to reinstall the software.

There is a repair option in PC Companion, see it, please! The repair option on PC Companion is Support Zone --> Update --> Repair.
BTW, to hard reset :
1. Turn the phone off
2. Press the POWER button
3. Press and hold home key aprox 3 seconds
4. The hard reset is starting.

Similar problem in my X10i since last 1 month
Hi,
I'm facing the same problem, only exception is even LOGO is missing...
Nothing works, just screen is dark black with no sign, only green light glows on pressing start button and occasional three red blinks, while charging.
I have used all good methods, SEUS (Update service); PC Companion; Flashtool (all versions); I have even flashed my phone using a box (technician did this for me)...
Nothing worked..even service centre guys refused to work on handset as there is no warranty..
I'm unable to use SEtool, as I could not find Test Point and how to attach them.
This is all started when i installed custom rom on my phone....
If it were me,Id try charging/replacing the battery.
You can even adapt a usb cable for charging and hook it up to the battery directly(when its still in the phone).
If it dont work then maybe faulty phone....

Well folks, my first question thread (Actually first thread started by me, ever). So first of all, sorry for any possible mistakes.I'll try to be as concise as I can, however it's hard with a situation as complicated as mine. I searched all around, and didn't find a case like this one. Well, I have this x10a, and after upgrading it to 2.1, it never booted again. SEUS reported a successful flash. It made it once to the homescreen,but rebooted soon after. Twice it stuck on the SE logo, now I only get the flashing red led. Phone charges the battery, and even with its own battery, charged either internally or with external charger, or other battery, it fails to boot. I can get to flashmode, but it seems to be stuck there. Sometimes it enters flashmode without pressing the back button However, it disconnects while flashtool or SEUS are trying to flash it. It flashes part of the .FTF and fails... I am no noob at this, and I've been pulling my hair over this phone for some 2 weeks...PC Companion recognizes it as a quite generic "Sony Ericsson Phone", and fails to start restoring it.
Help one desperate dude, please.
Thanks in advance

My phone is fully stock. Bootloader and ROM are (were?) the factory-installed ones.I didn't even get to root the thing! Tried tons of different FTFs already. Could it be my PC, maybe? I don't have another machine where to test. I can enter flashmode removing and reinserting battery, but phone fails to flash. SEUS once flashed it nearly until the end, but failed at around 90%...What makes me wonder what happened is the fact that the phone was bricked by an official update!
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
was something more to do with my laptop environment than the phone. Because the Wotan client came with it's own driver, which my device loaded and used when I connected it holding the back button, this seemed to make the phone stay in flash mode when connected.
From this experience I don't think holding the back button puts an X10 into flash mode, it merely asks the host 'can I be in flash mode?' and either the host says yes or no.
In the post i linked so i supposw it can be driver related.
An in that post it got it to STAY in flash mode ... try looking for drivers on seus webpage

1 more thing i found
- While this process is running, please don't disconnect your phone from PC. If you disconnect the phone or the battery power is dropped then the process will be interrupted..... causing your phone unbootable!!
But don't worry because you can repeat the step above to re-flash your phone until the process complete.
so let the phone charge for about an hour or two to make sure if you can not check its status
hope you get it running again!
Well, I left it charging. It won't get worse, since its dead as a brick already. When I arrive home i'll finish flashing LG O2X, then i'll give the x10 some attention.

Yes, that last post is a bit misleading.
Download flashtool from the sticky threads in the dev section and download a stock .ftf file from there as well.
Enter flashmode on phone and flash the stock .ftf file.
There is a possibility the phone is bricked but there are lots of other options to try first.
EDIT, also, try this. Take the battery out and leave for 1-2 minutes, replace battery and try to charge again
Sony update service doesn't require that your phone needs to be turned on.
I finally fixed my phone. I updated it using Sony Update Center, after a few hours. It turned on. Thanks guys!

its very simple..just install flashtool. and download stock ftf for your phone. copy it into firmware folder of flashtool. and flash it. no need to start phone. means u can flash it even its not working.

Hi all,
Sorry to bring back an old post but I'm having the same issue as the first post. I was able to put my phone on flash mode with the stocked ftf provided here. Once complete, I unplug my phone from the computer and tried to turn it on, it vibrates but nothing shows up. I tried flashing it numerous times with the same results.
The only difference now than before I first flashed it is that now when I click on the power button, it doesn't flash red.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
