I have a mini pro sk17a, it came with .48 , i got it rooted, unlocked bootloader, installed custom kernel and ROM. All was fine, until I tried to update the phone to .58 using wotanserver. The upgrade wnet fine, but the phone does not boot any more, just sony errison logo and then triangle and yellow ! and powers off. tried .48 with wotanserver with the same results. Tried PC companion and I got a message back that no software is available for my phone yet. Is that a joke? tried flashing custom kernel back, same result. Desperately need help, I have a nice brick on my hands.

akshay13071990,
You are the MAN!!!
yes, re-locking bootloader worked with wotanserver, although pc companion said the same thing.. no software available yet.
Thank you very much!
help
hello akshay13071990 I have the same problem but with the u20 MiniPro would greatly appreciate if you give me some help
When PC Companion said that to me it annoyed me.
But I simply flashed stock .42 kernel .ftf (I had stock rom + custom kernel) using flashtool and the PC Companion could update my Neo V (MT11i) to .62 stock rom.
Then I re-flashed custom kernel and thats fine by now.
When ICS is launched I'll do the same procedure. Flash stock .62 kernel, connect to pc companion, upgrade to ICS (so I do not loose data) and reflash custom kernel.

Are you sure about this? Because I'm using a custom rom and kernel, is it safe?

I doubt that either SEUS or PC Companion will detect the phone on a custom kernal, and I would also say the chance is high of bricking your phone if it did try and update.
Safest way would be reload back to stock kernal and perform a repair in PC Companion update which will load back stock rom. Not sure if you need to relock your bootloader for this to work..
REMEMBER DO NOT RE-LOCK BOOTLOADER ON CUSTOM KERNAL AS THIS WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!

Try follow this tut [TUT] un-brick for n00bs.
It takes you step by step (screen shots) all the way from where ever you are to stock ROM.
SEUE is the best way to flash 2.1 original firmware ...
Hi!
I flashed my X10a using Feralab rom and DomKernel V6 and everything is ok. However, I have to take my X10 to the repairing center because of an old problem in touchscreen. So, I'd like to know how to flash back my X10 with original Sony Ericsson rom and Sony Ericsson Kernel. Where can I find this rom and kernel?
Thanks!
Go look in flashtool thread you will find out ftf files... Download one for your region.... And flash through flashtool
Sent from my X10
Download the original 2.3 release from SE (or rather only S;-) ) install it through PC companion. It will wipe everything though. If you do a backup of your current rom, you can root your phone when you get it back and restore the backup.

Just use the repair mode in SEUS or PC companion
Ok. Thanks but, will it recovery the original kernel as well? Because I have a backup of the firmware (rom), provided by xRecovery, and when I recovered it, the DomKerel still there..

dont worry kernel will also be stock one
Thanks again, but I tried to use the SEUS and PC Companion. However, both are saying that I've already have the most recent software and I cannot do nothing more. I'm desperate.. I have to leave home and take my X10 tho the repairing center in 1h but I cannot recovery this.. The rom is already recovered, but the kernel no..
What can I do?
Thank you a lot!
try restore mode in it.
If not then there are generic 2.3.3 or 2.1 files in thread flash them through flashtool
kernel are included in them
sorry the only working link I found was for x10i ....

Yeah. Flash this ROM via flashtool and after that You will be able to use SEUS, because it's android 2.1
Thanks for everybody! I downloaded a generic firmware and flashed this using Flashtool. Now, both kernel and rom are in the original SE.
Thank you a lot!
glad to hear
I currently have Paul's Rom Android V 4 and a custom kernel NAA Kernel.
Since it doesn't have camera and other features I have thought of reverting back to the original firmware and kernel..
Can I directly use Sony Erricsson PC Companion to restore everything or do I have to flash the kernel of stock again ?
Please give some vision.

i dont have that rom but minicm7, and i can tell u with this one it was as simple as open the program in pc, select repair and follow the instructions. after that i had my phone with stock kernel and rom again. dont be afraid, if it wasnt possible the program would tell u.
Thanks for your kind reply, I am going to do it but when I connect my Device it says Xperia X10 but not Xperia X10 Mini Pro, previously it used to show Xperia X10 Mini Pro ?? Confusing ? I recently upgraded the SE PC Companion.
That's just showing how much SE. Really don't care for our phones. In flash it should be fine but if your worried download sony ericsson update service instead. Btw when you flash you will have stock rom kernel etc but your bootloader is still unlocked. Just in case you thought that would relock it
Sent from my X10 Mini Pro using XDA
Thanks for your kind reply If I keep it unlocked does it affect in any way ? I don't properly understand. I unlocked it for the NAA Kernel.

dont worry!! u can use stock rom and kernel with ur bootloader unlocked... i did it... its only useful to relock in case u have to send it to repair, as it was my case, to repair it with the warranty

for sony ericsson. not the PC companion to revert back. you should use UPDATE SERVICE to restore back to stock condition and redo all the mod again.

i tryed do it, and SEUS says that my device has no atualization and don't restore, so i replaced my build.prop for other from original rom, restarted my device, then SEUS recognized my device and restored for original 2.1 android.
another way is download a firmware and flash it using flash tools~

did u unlock ur bootloader???
did u flash a custom kernel r rom?? with 2.3 r 4.0 build???
Now my phone's good and working well with the restore of Pc Companion (ROM 2.3.4 .62!)
I have unlocked bootloader and I can flash all the custom kernel and ROM but this isn't my problem beacuse I want official ICS 4.0.4 and in Italy the update isn't relased.
How can I flash the official .FTF? I don't understand why flashtool don't work!
Hi all
Since I can't post in dev forum yet, hope some of you guys can help me.
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of a Sony LWW, but when I try to access the fastboot mode, the led turn blue but the PC seems to not recognize the phone.
Flashtool even says it is connected in 'flashmode'.
Any help?

Solution
relock your bootloader (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324703) then that run the SUS ( Sony Update Service), Done! ( this can be helpful: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/34946)
@talhah sabri
I think that was my problem, I don't know the difference between then, can you explain me? Sorry I'm too noob
if u on gb flash kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468043
kernel for gb is not same with ics..if i were wrongpls correct me
I think its a bootloop, try relock your bootloader, then repair, with SEUS or with Pc companion

concentrate, he already done that
btw, there was no need to mess so much, simply flashing GB kernel would fix problem.
He used ICS kernel on GB fw.
guys, now my android is 4.0.4, now is it a ICS? Can someone explain me the difference between GB and ICS? Thank you guys =)
