(RESOLVED)hey guys, i've been looking everywhere for about 3 days now and really don't know how to resolve my phone's problem. I bought the rogers e10a version of the x10 mini and really wanted to update my phone to the latest 2.1 version. As most of us know, you have to debrand your phone first as SEUS as well as sony companion will tell you that 1.6 is the lastest version. Anyways i ended up using the "build.prop.claro" file from skzBR from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820009&page=4) while debranding and re-used SEUS to upgrade the phone to 2.1. Now when i used this build, i got the a claro logo when i booted up the phone and i didn't ike that, so i though i could just change the the build.prop in 2.1 to the other "build.prop.vivo"... well when i did that i felt really stupid after since i then remembered it was made for the 1.6 os. So now my phone is messed up! all i get is the Sony Ericsson start screen looping over and over again.
The phone does go into recovery mode, but does not have root permission through ADB so i can't push the old build.prop.claro file back into the phones system folder.. The SEUS and pc companion programs do not work to restore the phone and give me tell me my phone has no new software to update with. Even when i try pressing the repair option through pc companion get that same message. I've tried numerous flashtools with different rom with .sin files and have has zero success. So i'm wondering if i do have a chance at this if someone has the .sin files from both rom descirbe in the link and i try reflashnig it with the latest flashtool or if omnius is my only choice here.. any help really appreciated guys.
Thanks.
shouldve bought an evo

RE: have you tried this
yes i have, the flashtool establishes a connection with the phone when i put it in recovery mode. When it says its flashing my phone, all ,sin files or a 2.1 generic rom seam to flash fine and whn done, it tells me " finished, now reboot phone", the phone is still stuck and looping. So i don't know if its because i'm not flashing the .sin files of the build.prop.vivo rom which i can't seam to find anywhere or what....
Hi, im a bit busy today. So just give you a link that you can try http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/04/14/debrand-your-xperia-x10-tutorial/
Hope it will help you.
i fixed it
I flashed the phone with 1.6 e10i firmware and the java flashtool and it worked. I then changed the build.prop file to a e10a file and reflashed. SEUS was able to reflasht the phone's firmware to 1.6 e10a and all is good now... thanks guys!
I saw on the phone screen update, push download it, then install, phone restarts and start install updates and suddenly it turns off. Now when I try turn it on just lightly blinks notification light.
I tried flash it with "flashtool" frimware "ST18_4.0.A.2.368_GENERIC_(1248-9545).ftf" and "ST18_4.0.A.2.368_GENERIC_(1248-9545).ftf" and "ST18i_4.0.1.A.0.283_(1252-5332 ).ftf". All processes completed without errors, but telephone still dead.
Also I tried repair frimware with sony ericsson update service, but when phone is already connected and repair must start sony ericsson update service shows error " The phone contains modified software that cannot be updated".
Please help me. What can I do?
Sorry for my English.
You had unlocked bootloader? If yes try flash this: http://www.mediafire.com/?h2dwrz18mujx765
and after that install any ROM or use WotanServer.

Thank you, I tried and it works, now my phone is rooted .
i tried and it is working very nicely thankzzz a lot
I was having problems because I put it a lot of stuff and flashed some zip files to change stock fonts, etc I do everything right but I noticed It was getting laggy so I flashed with Wotanserver, but it failed! And now I try to update but I think the battery is empty, and I connect the charger, and it doesn't turn on the battery not even the green light, so I dont know what to do! I think it's dead!
Nevermind, I connect the charger even when the battery icon didn't appear and i noticed an image with the phone an a ! sign appear so I updated it with PC Companion and its ok now. It has .62 fw but maybe later I downgrade again to .58 to have root. I will just quit now from everything related to moding my phone. xD
BTW. Does someone knows where can I get .58 fw file .ftf?? I want to flash it via flashtool, but i can't find the file! :/

Here you are WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.58
my st18i cannot turn on
it screen light only
i was flashing my st18i
nothing change
i very expect your help
if you disconnect + turn your phone off, hold down the volume down button and while doing so connect it to usb, does your led turn green?
if yes, flashmode works and you can flash it via flashtool, see stickied thread
there are some threads around here with stock-roms in the appropriate ftf-format
if that doesnt work, you should try sony tool called "SUS" (sony update service, i think) there should be a thread around for this also
i was doing that all
nothing change
what can i do?
well, if flashmode and sony sus doesnt work, i have no more ideas but sending it in for repairs.
did you unlock the bootloader? what rom where you trying to flash?
if your bootloader is still locked and you "just" tried to update your phone via pc-companion and it failed, your chances for getting your phone repaired by sony service are very good, i think.
normally (as far as i know) there's is no way to full brick your ray by "just" flashing firmware, if sus doesnt work (havent needed it yet, just read about it), you should contact sony support.

i was unlocked bootloader and i flash stock ics 4.0.4 firmware
is that lcd problem?
Flash tools is working or not?
First of all, download kernel (shoultd be sirkays xkernel 8.1a)
Then put the batery out and then back to the phone. Then start flashtools. After that press volume up and connect your phone to the pc via usb. If it workr you have to see blue light on home button. If that is the case you can flash the kernel.
If you will be able to flash the kernel, you will be able to go to cwm and you will see if your display is working or not.
Then you can try to flash another rom.

Hello guys,
I am on a trip to the UK. During the flight the phone was working fine. Turned it off during the landing and tried to turn it on when the plane landed. But it won't turn on. It's stuck on the Sony logo. The phone was rooted with locked bootloader. I managed to get into the CWM and backup and even made a fresh install of the ROM (zelly cream) I could use the aroma installer, the touchscreen wouldn't work though. PC companion recognises the phone, says there no update. I used flashtool several times. Everything installs correctly but still stuck on sony logo. Please help me. I am stuck with no phone on my trip.

Re: Ray stuck on Sony Logo.. Please help I am in a trip abroad!
Looks like a legit hard brick
sony xperia ray
ics 4.0.4 rooted
stock rom
It looks like a hardbrick, but if you're still under warranty then flash a stock firmware and send it to sony service center. Should be fine with locked bootloader

The phone's out of warranty.
I went to a shop that repairs phones, they sent it back in 3 days saying it can't be fixed. Now what? I have an expensive paperweight? It's not heavy enough for that either.
weird,I got stuck in sony logo more than 10 times.and repair it with flashtool did you follow the guide correctly?

Only solution I found
I had almost a similar problem. I had installed the same rom to my xperia ray and tried to update it with different selections in aroma installer. The result was the phone stuck at the sony logo.
I tried PC companion and it recognised a sony phone but not a ray.
I tried seus, this detected correctly xperia ray, but it replied that there is no update for my phone.
I tried flashtool but it could not recognize my phone and any way I didn't have any thing to flash my ray. (I installed the drivers from the subdirectory)
So I tryied something I've used a year ago: Wotan server. I paid about $2 to get a license and after executing the steps of the tool, I finally had my phone back.
I know that I'm not an expert on the field, and maybe there are other free of charge ways to do the work, but this worked for my phone and this was the second time.
PS. After the procedure I updated my phone using SEUS and this time I kept the stock ICS files and converted them to ftf files
I think the internal memory chip is faulty or something. Or it wouldn't even boot in the first place?
Flashing a stock kernel with flashtool usually does the job for men when that happens...

Thanks. Did this a hundred times. Still not working It may be a hardware problem
Guys please help me
Guys please help me. I rooted, unlocked bootloaders and unbricked android phones many times before but I just don't know what to do now. I tried flashing with flashtool 10000 times, everything goes ok but the phone won't go past the sony logo. I tried removing the battery for days. I tried charging for days. I even tried unlocking the bootloader and installing custom kernels. No luck. SEUS said there's no update even though I flashed an old firmware and after unloacking the BL says the phone has modified firmware that cannot be modified , EMMA says no available services. The only thing I didn't try is the test points method but why would I?
Anyone has any idea what's going on? I don't have the money for another phone right now
Anyone??

Then read through the thread or Google. There is enough information on how to restore your Phone in this thread alone, never mind the rest of the forum or numerous threads that have been started in the last few months.

The phone was rooted with a custom ROM (Zelly Cream 2.0). The rom was flashed weeks before that happened. I was on the plane playing games on the phone. Turned it off for landing. Tried turning it on after the plane landed and it was stuck on the sony logo. I could get into the CWM and used the Aroma installer using the keys as the touchscreen would not work.
