Help debranding my Orange SK17i - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Morning,
Can someone advise me the best way to debrand my orange phone?
I've made it sim free using wotanserver.
Then I flashed the generic firmware from the same site, it goes through the process until completion and tells me to reboot the phone.
When I do this it won't go past the screen with an exclamation mark in a triangle, and a picture of a phone. I then have to repair the phone using SEUS.
I just want to remove the orange start up logo and bloatware.
Please help

Have you unbricked your phone already or are you still stuck at the triangle with exclamation mark?

I've unbricked it using SEUS (twice!).
I may just root it and install a custom rom instead.

Use wotan client (search it on google) with the pone power off, push down volume button, while conect usb cable.
It's free...

Yeah wotan client debrands using generic update.
Personally think 0.62 has poor radio stack though.
Anyone have a good radio stack for 3uk for mini pro

Just try flash tool.......& wippe everything first...
I've tried PC companion (the new and old ones with the updates and the repair), when i try to update it say that I already have the last update, and when i try to repair (with the old PC Suite 6.011, the last doesnt have that option) it throws "failed to repair".
I have flash it with "2.1_2.0.A.0.504_GENERIC_x10A" and "Global World 2.1" its done normally, but every remains the same in the phone.
I have to mention that I can't manipulate the phone, 'cause no program or interface appear. Just the exclamation simbol inside a triangle next to a phone.
I dont know if there is a hard reset or if its necesary.

When you flash a generic rom from SE it will wipe all data. I think if I am answering your question. Here is a link to flash tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
use the 2.1.54 baseband which you stated above located in the flashtool link in the forum.
I believe the how to is in the link too on the page.
Ok Guys...
I think that my cellphone is "bricked", in this thread i learned about that... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686293
(I tried generics, older, lasts roms, and nothing.
maybe I need to pay the davinciteam software to unbrick this, but I have some doubts.
I haven't a sonyericsson service near. But I think we're getting closer to the solution.)
Thanks Voelker45!! I used the X10a_2.0.2.A.0.24_Generic.ftf from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746, with flash tool wiping the user data, and made the phone alive, IT'S ALIVE!!!
greetings to all of you that make it posible!!

[Q] X10 Mini Firmware

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.

Only one problem here, I don't have the option to reinstall the software at all after it says that I already have the latest software.
Can it be that the option is no longer there depending on SEUS version?

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.

I will try that thanks, but you need to hard reset before the repair with PC Companion?
I managed to find the stock kernel so now I'm starting the device, but I get a SE logo and then It shuts off.
One problem when I try to repair on step 2 (prepare step) I get a error unable to start or phone update update components. (the pc companions is installed with the newest version)

Is there any programme that will allow me to rectify this restart/exclamation fault ?
you can't brick an x10. you need to install sony pc companion on your computer and go into software update and hit repair phone. good luck!

Thanks but already tried that method, even with the phone restarting every several seconds, I hit repair and when it manages to succeed it results in ''no update available''

I think the mistake I made was failing to install recovery before I tried to install a new rom.
