Xperia Mini Pro U21 no signal
Dont know if anyone can help. Have a Xperia Mini Pro, which I tried to unlock from T-Mobile. Unfortunatly the phone now doesn't recognise any sim or any network. Understand that this is beacuse of the certificate used to unlock it.
So is there any way I can get the appropriate T-mobile certificate (to re lock it) onto the device?
I've tried all the obvious stuf with the Sony tool (repair / reinstall) also tried sim lock repair utils. but no luck...

I got my phone rooted
Thanks a lot!

are work?

It will not, if you hardbricked it find a local repair shop that will JTAG the phone with a riffbox or with a similar hardware tool. Hardbricked my x10 mini pro and coughed up 25 euros to return it to life.

My phone stuck at boot screen. So how to tap connect my phone to pc?
I attempt to install custom rom and I forgot to wipe dalvik cache. Now it's stuck at boot screen.
Canyou help me? please I beg you! please please please

when you see the sony ericsson boot up enter xrec and reinstall... if can't connect your phone to pc and reflash using SEUS or SE PC companion...
Well, this is the mini forum, not the mini pro. So if you took a rom from this section it's probably not compatible with your phone.
Also, use the search function. It's there for a reason.
Lots of people have problems with bootloops, just browse the forum for a while and you will most likely find detailed help for your problem.
boot in xrecovery go to advanced options -> wipe dalvik cache
1. Replace your battery or press both power button and home button
2. switch on phone
3. if see SE logo, press back button 1000x until xrecovery window show up
4. restore your back up or try factory reset
5. reboot
if cant boot to xrecovery then your phone is totally brick...
repair it using SEUS... and start all over again
Yeah, here's the Mini Forum, not Mini *PRO*.
Use the ROMs from here
Repair a phone isn't a hard thing. If you've made a backup before install the rom just restore. You can use SEUS (aka Sony Ericsson Update Service) to restore the phone. Try to reinstall the ROM. Make sure you followed all the steps during the ROM instalation.
Sorry for bad english.

X10 Mini Pro bricked

Hello ! I have a Xperia X10 Mini Pro and I have flashed my telephone with a custom rom 2.3. It has freeze in SMS application and I have reboot the smartphone, since it does not restart. I have flash the telephone with Flashtool and SEUS with rom 2.1 but does not work. Help me please,
PS : Sorry for my bad English, I'm French.
EDIT : It reboot in a loop.
I would try removing the battery for a minute or two, remove and format the sd card (backup any data you want to save) get SEUS up and running on the PC and then connect the phone. Select the option to repair and wait.
(Sent from u20i using D4rKnYsSys/Slade87 Cyanocomb + tapatalk)
I have already try this method but this not work
EDIT : It would not be a hardware problem?
I have downloaded the official firmware and flashed it myself using x10FlashTool.
later then I updated the firmware with SEUS.
Hopefully it'll work the same for you.
Best regards,
Ron
I did that but it does not work :'(
did you try PC Companion? it work for me
Not work for me.
Help me please
SEUS will work
Updated firmware with SEUS dont click on repair, Just click on installed.
If it say that your phone has already updated ignore that & click on "install" & follow procedure.
Hope it work It work on mine.....
Does not work for me :'(

wOrHeR SvK had the problem and yesterday he got his phone working
I had this problem a loooong time ago too.
Lucky for me my wife got the same mini pro and had not yet updatet the original stock ROM in any way.
I connected her mini pro to SEUS. Got the update-notification, followed to the part where you remove the USB-cable, turn off and then reattach the USB-cable while holding the back-key (only here i attached my bricked mini pro).
Guess the rest...
Bad news for your phone.
I think your phone is fully bricked and I think there's no chance to recover it.

Seus or return

This can be boot patrition problem, go to service or try Davinci team's flash tool(10euro ).

[Q] Bricked my x10 mini and PC Companion doesn't work

Can somebody help me? I think i may have bricked my phone while trying to flash the latest version of minicm7. I've done everything the tutorial says, including unlocking my bootloader and flashing the kernel, but the phone got stuck in the sony ericsson word screen (not the logo screen). I've tried Pc companion with the repair thing but for some reason, it doesn't work. I've gotten pass the part where you have to select your phone model, but when it comes to the downloading part, it says "no software available", and in smaller print below it says "there is no software available for your phone yet, please try again later". And btw, i can't boot into xrecovery, so restoring using xrecovery is not an option.
Use SEUS flashtool for reflashing ROM.. Ul recover it..
Gintonic.SE + zombie-pack kernel by slade ..
Can i please have the link then? I would really appreciate that I've tried downloading bin4ry's flashtool but the link is broken

Use SEUS means use Sony Ericsson Update Service tool, you can download it from sony ericsson's website.
i googled for the update service for x10 mini, and it directed me to the SE x10 mini page, saying"This software is not available for the Xperia™ X10 mini. Go to the Software downloads overview to see available software for your phone."
SEUS link

[Q] HELP! How to unbrick my Xperia X10 Mini Pro?

Good day! I have my X10 mini pro or U20i. I installed a theme for my cellphone and my cellphone has bricked. When I observe the instructions, I forgot to tick the right permission for the framework. Maybe that should be the cause why my cellphone got bricked.
Can anyone please help me or give me some instructions on how to unbrick my phone? When I turn it on, it was stucked in the "Sony Ericsson" text all the time. Thanks in advance for those who are willing to help. God Bless everyone
Hey
you just have to repair or update it
with Sony Ericsson PC Companion
(or flash with Flash Tool)
It's not a big deal but you have to root it
after this again ...
Hope you get it working

Same here, but if you still having trouble repairing it, search the web for Omnius Server. I also bricked my phone, and SE PC companion didn't solve it. Omnius server did. Had to pay to flash my phone, but it worked.
Thanks guys! I went to Sony Ericsson Service Center for them to fix my phone. Too lucky my phone is not totally broken. Whoo!

Flashtool doesn't have the original xperia kernel. What you flashed is the bootloader relock kernel for the X10 (the huge one) not the X10 mini pro.
Only solution for you is a JTAG.
Secondly... What is the ICA kernel? Never heard of it.
What is JTAG and how can i use it to get my phone back...????
