This phone is brand new (OrangePL Branded)
Any one have any idea what's going on?

By holding back button you go in flash mode!
For fastboot mode, on swiched off phone, you must hold down menu button and plug in USB cable!
Phone turned off, battery in -> Press and HOLD MENU BUTTON -> Attach Usb CABLE = Battery Charging with green led
wait, you say your phone is OrangePL branded. is it locked on your network? meaning you can't use any SIM card?
Yes, I can't use any other sim card except Orange's one

There's your problem. Your fastboot is locked. Branded phones have fastboot locked.
You will need to pay to unlock fastboot. Find someone who have setool box.
You phone has a firmware .42, why you need fastboot? Yust root by doomlord and install CWM recovery!
Cos I wanted to install custom ICS kernel + ICS AOSP
Now I have the same problem :S after flashing jj's hybrid rom tho my fastboot was working fine before need to solve this...and my neo went to fastboot from holding down the back button before this happened.
Ok I solved my problem now my neo goes in to fastboot from the menu button...strange cuz it used to go into fastboot from the back button b4
I think ur phone not already boot loader unlock. U should first download and install with fastboot with Android USB file.rar.
Code:
http://www.mediafire.com/?h4sf10doc6zgu7h
And then, u should need to do boot loader unlock.
Check This Link :
Code:
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
And then, u should do ur phone to root.
Check This Link:

After that u can install custom rom and kernel what u want.
Enjoy.
@ ppaphyo: please read before you say something. his bl is unlocked, problem is in locked fastboot.

No!
Fastboot can be entered without unlocking bootloader.
People, before giving advices, inform yourself first, about differences between locked/unlocked fastboot and locked/unlocked bootloader.
@karthicvkn:looks like you are new to all this stuff, so I suggest you go and read few sticky threads, also there are few good sticky threads in xperia Arc section, check them.

I have a X10minipro (U20a) with the M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 baseband, latest (2.1.1.A.0.6) firmware - just updated/repaired using PC Companion.
I just tried to flash Cm7.1.0 RC1 FXP028's kernel in this phone (first step of the install guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212949), but it won't boot. It doesn't even display any logo at all (no FXP logo, nor Sony Ericsson logo). After pressing the power button, I can feel the usual little vibration it makes when powering up. After that, the phone gives no other life sign - the screen just keeps black forever.
I'm not sure, but when the usb cable is connected, it appears that the phone enters into some sort of loop in and out of flash mode. The green LED blinks shortly and I can see the usb device being detected as the flash mode device (eg. on lsusb) for a short period of time. And I haven't pressed the back button at all.
Of course, flashing back the stock kernel unbricks the phone.
The bootloader was unlocked using msm7227_semc. Just to be sure it was unlocked correctly, I flashed D4Kernel v1.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254202), and it worked like a charm. So the bootloader appears to be working well.
Does anybody have an idea of what is going on? Maybe I was expected to flash another version of the baseband?
If you got FXP kernel to work in your phone, please tell me if you can see any difference between your phone and mine (versions, etc.)
I found it strange that U20_CUSTOM.ftf, when opened using flashtool, shows "E10" in the column "Device". But perhaps this is just a typo.

Have you discovered the problem yet ? I have a similiar problem and how can you reflash the stock kernel if it doesn't even turn on or connect with computer ?

The kernel that comes with CM 7.1 is broken, you need to use a older version of FXP, there's one in the mini pro dev and flash the just the kernel but I can't find the kernel any were for the mini pro, the mirrors come up as X8. I've been told that it still has bugs.

As danlivesey said, the custom kernel from FXP is broken. When I posted this, nobody had complained yet (people complained only when they released FXP030), so I thought I was doing something wrong.
To reflash the stock kernel, download "X10 mini pro (U20) stock kernel" from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
Then use flashtool to flash the ftf file. You should be able to put your phone in flash mode. If your are not able, probably it is stuck frozen trying to boot, then just remove the battery and insert it again and follow the procedure again (keeping the back button pressed and inserting the USB cable).
I m new on xda.I like various roms but not able to determine whether my phone is locked or unlocked bootloader
well thats pretty simple,
theres software called 'S1Tool' wich you start
press identify
then it will tell you to turn of phone, disconnect, plug in phone while holding back button (like flashing)
an there you'l be able to see if its unlocked or still locked.
another thing i see alot is . IF YOU DID NOT UNLOCK IT its locked!
heres my S1tool line telling me i unlocked it

Are you sure that you've flashed ftf for Mini Pro? If you have unlocked bootloader you can try to install any custom kernel for Mini Pro to see that it isn't hardware related.
think the bootloader is locked as the phone is locked on a network, the screen is working fine as i have just swapped circuit boards over from my other phone and its ok, i bought this phone as not working anyway so i dont know what the problem is with it, i do know its the exact same problem as my sisters x10 mini pro (no LED, can connect fine to PC, but doesnt start up just vibrates once)

oh.have you unlocked the bootloader?
if not,go to pc companion and select fix phone.and follow the on-screen instructions.
i had the same problem with my xperia x8.it should work.you can atleast try
Which ftf did you flash? The 4.0.2.A.0.42 for xperia mini pro?
Did you use this rom and flashed in in flashmode?
Are you sure bootloader is locked? If it is unlocked, you could flash the stock gb kernel from sony and then install the rom, but only if you have an unlocked bootloader!

http://droid-maniac-milan.blogspot.in/2012/04/how-to-unlock-bootloader-in-xperia.html
the below is copied from the link i gave you.
FOR XPERIA X10/ X8/ PRO/ X10 MINI ONLY
Before unlocking bootloader you should check whether it is safe to unlock or not.
For that:
1. download s1tool >>you can download it HERE<<
2. Run the downloaded program and click "identify" button on top right corner.(Don't connect your device)
3. Now switch off your device and connect to PC pressing and holding back button in your device.
4. If it says "SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE", then you can proceed further for unlocking bootloader.
#NOTE: Proceed only if your device passes the above requirement.
Steps to unlock bootloader in your device
1. Download flash-tool V0.6.8.0 >>you can get it HERE<< and run
turn on your USB debugging on device [setting>applications>development>usb debuging]
2. Connect you device and wait until it recognizes your device
3. Then click "plugin > bootloader unlock> run"
4. Then you will get a message in which says "to switch off your device and connect to PC pressing and holding back button in your device" and do it.
5. The unlocking process will begin. Wait until Flashtool ask you to disconnect the cable off
the phone, then turn on the device and connect the usb cable once again
6. Then flash tool says ”Successfully applied unlock Rebooting”
7. Then your bootloader is unlocked
Now to check whether bootloader is unlocked or not
2. Run s1tool and click "identify" button on top right corner.(Don't connect your device)
3. Now switch off your device and connect to PC pressing and holding back button in your device.
4. Then under "PLEASE ATTACH TURNED OFF PHONE NOW" this line
we can see: RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r8A033" , in which "r" should be in small letter now
5. This says you have unlocked bootloader
i installed custom rom xperia S. unlocked bootloader and works fine for me..no other issues...

Do you mean to say you lost your network when you unlocked the bootloader?
That means your simlock-certificate wasn't compatible with the unlock-procedure, which you get warned against if you read it all properly.
Use SUS (SEUS) to repair your phone., and then use S1Tool (NOT flashtool) to restore your bootloader, by pressing the RESTORE-button.
Step 1: leave your phone disconnected from the computer
Step 2: choose 'update' in SEUS, it will say 'no updates available'
Step 3: choose the 'repair' link, it will let you select your phone-model and download the firmware
Step 4: when it asks for flashmode, connect your usb-cable to the phone and your computer, and then press home- and power-buttons at the same time.
Step 5: Start S1Tool and press Restore button, follow the instructions
Hope your signal will come back, there is no guarantee.

It kind of depends on how your phone was sim-unlocked i suppose, and it's not that unlocking restores your simlock, it just disables the radio-capabilities, no matter which sim you put in.
If you tried the manual bootloader-unlock method, there are a few options you can use, maybe the other one may give you success.
Just boot up your phone after the unlocking process and check the network before you do anything else, like flashing kernels and stuff.
And entering flashmode had never been a problem for me, not on JB and not on stock. It's usually a case of just turning your phone off and only putting it in flashmode (ie, press the backbutton and plug in the cable) when the program (Flashtool or SEUS or PC Companion) asks for it.
If you try to put it in flashmode before the program is ready it will boot up.

i have still the same problem. if i put the battery out and wait 10 secs put it back in the cell boots right away. even when i press the home and power button while i am quickly putting the usb cable in. i hardly can't connect my cell to pc in flashmode. when i am pressing the back button like sony updater tells me the same thing happens. as long as i press a key nothing happens doesn't matter how long i press it.
when i release it, the phone boots normally jb.
ok, i booted up cm while having phone plugged in. removed battery and put it right back in. right in this moment the led turned green and i hopefully gained into flashmode!
so i gained network back thanks for your help!
i performed all the steps again to unlock my bootloader and had success. i recognized that i run the wrong msm7227_semc.cmd .
thread can be closed. and again thanks for your help! :victory:
