Hi, I recently got a x10 mini and in a rush to gain root etc.. I accidently flashed U20i-mini pro update_1.0_2.1.1.C.0.0tft and now can't flash any x10 mini firmwares of which I have tried 3 different tft files and even tried bundle creation under advanced settings in FlashTool_0.2.9.1_ and none of these are working.
I've done a bit of searching and the general consenus seems to be just use SEUS and it will all be o.k but it just says there is no software update for my phone
The other weird thing is that I can seem to be able to flash other mini pro firmwares with no problem which boot up fine but I am unable to use the touchsreen so can't access features such as enabling USB settings and unknown sources
Any help anyone could advise I would be very grateful!
Ok man, dont be afraid, try to do this:
1st - Open PC Companion
2nd - Select Support Zone
3rd - Start Phone Update
4th - Select "repair phone"
5th -follow instructions.
Here is a video I did showing what do to:

Thanks for the reply I have tried what you have suggested but it also doesn't work it gives the same result as SEUS and PC Companion that software is up to date and the only option is to exit program?

This is weird. My SEUS still allows me to install the firmware even if the phone is up to date...
I remember there is a restore button in the program...
You can try that way if you have the recovery installed and you can access to it :
plug in your phone
open pc companion,
access to ClockworkMod (the recevory program on your phone)
go to mount and storage and select mount usb storage
now come back to pc copanion, click on support zone, start phone update, select repair, and wait for 30 minutes.
Unfortunately I didn't get as far as gaining root as I can't use the touchscreen.
I even managed to flash a 1.6 version of the experia mini pro via flashtool but it stills says that my software is up to date and again only option it gives is too exit program??
Just can't really understand why it will flash mini pro firmwares but refuses mini firmwares with Flashing loader. Error.Flashing aborted.
I also notice that the main diffrences between mini pro and min firmwares is the inclusion of dsp1.sin in the mini tft files, could this have something to do with it?
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.

You don't need to flash the old GB bootloader to your phone.
If you thin kyou need it for the USB Jig to work properly, in ICS you only need TriangleAway app from Chainfire (=> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114&highlight=triangleaway) to remove the yellow triangle and reset the flash counter.
So, just flash the CF-Root kernel and use TriangleAway app ... and be happy !
This is a quick how to guide to go back to the belovid .42 firmware for xperia play and im sure other android phone if you a nooby.
1 - download the 2.3.2 stock which is posted on several threads on this site.
2 - unzip the 2.3.2 into flashtool folder ( firmware ) ( should see a tft file )
3 - open flash tool ( remember turn on debugging and allow unknown sources )
4 - click the flash icon on the top left and hit flashmode.
5 - select the 2.3.2 firmware and click ok and follow simple steps.
6 - now your on a 2.3.2 connect phone so you sony software can detect it ( should say update avalible )
7 - allow the update ( should take little more then 5 - 10 mins )
now your complete back on .42 firmware if you wish to have more space re-open flash tool and root phone, one restarted look for titanium back up from android market and remove all files in which you dont wish to have or use.
Enjoy your now back to stock phone : )
Surely this should go in the devices forum not here as its not the same for other devices

Hi,
I bricked my sony xperia mini pro over a dozen times and still managed to get it on track using this method.
01) download the xperia flash tool https://unrestrict.li/flashtool
02) download the latest firmware for your device from the sony support page.
03) install the flashtool then goto the installed directory... find the firmware folder and copy the downloaded firmware file into it.
eg. D:\Users\ROMI\Desktop\Flashtool\firmware
04)start the flashtool.... switch off your phone..... give it about 10 seconds... then hold the volume down button and plug it to the PC.
05)The flashtool will detect the phone... then click on the lightning bolt sign in the flashtool...select flashmode -> ok
06)then select the frimware for your phone in the next window....
07) Then press flash...
thats it. The flashtool will flash the stock firmware and the phone should be unbricked.
hope this helps.
regards
