[Q] Have I chrashed my x10 mini pro (u20i)? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

I tried to flash a new kernel from Flashtool.
First time i did that i went perfect!
I wanted to try another ROM which needed another kernel, and now i'm not able to do anything!
This is what Flashtool reports:
29/057/2012 22:57:56 - INFO - <- This level is successfully initialized

Can anyone help? or do I have to buy a new cellphone
Sorry for my poor english!

What happened when you tried SEUS?
Sent from my U20i using xda premium

SEUS tells me that the cellphone has the newest software.
When I start the cellphone it never goes further than to the "Sony Ericsson" startscreen. When i try to enter CW recovery it gives me a strange looking screen with green colors. How can I restore CW recovery and how can I install a kernel again?

Try flash stock rom by Seus, you can do it even if SEUS show you that you already have the newest software, and than root, install recovery, instal GB rom and than flash kernel
And remember to unlock bootloader before flash kernel!

Which kernels and rom did u flashed?

I have tried to find a way to flash stock rom with SEUS, but it is not possible. There is no way to manualy do so.

I tried to flash [KERNEL] nAa-11 because that kernel is needed for some of the ROM'S that i wanted to try. But i never got further than trying to flash nAa-11 which did not succed. Before that i had [ROM]CyanoCream Sandwich http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333234 installed.

I've just tried one more time to flash nAa-11 kernel. But i did not succed.
I got this error.
02/023/2012 14:23:02 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"

Ok, use my guide in my signature to flash stock again.

hi, i was flashing the same kernel onto my sisters x10 mini pro and when i went to flash i got the error before it allowed me to flash the kernel, i used PC companion to repair, located in the software update section once i did that, i just unlocked the bootloader and root. hope this helps you.

I have triede with pc companion, it will not let me update, and it is not possible for me to put the phone into USB debugging, because the phone do not startup. I realy hoped that someone other than me has had this error before. But when I google the error, it doesn't come up with much.

I guess there's nothing to do then. I hoped there was some one other than me who had experienced the same as I did. Can anyone tell me if there is other things to try before I throw it into the graveyard.

Hello, I just recovered a friend's phone from this problem. Nothing worked before but I found the solution, at least for me.
First I want to tell what I tried:
Flashing with PC Suite
Flashing with PC Companion
Flashing with FlashTool
Flashing with SETool Box 2
Nothing worked. Mainly because the dumbass of my friend tried to update latest version while it failed (don't know if battery problem, cable or whatever).
The problem is that it just hanged in "Sony Ericsson" screen and not recovery possible.
And when flashing I got:
ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
=== Now how I solved it ===
What I did is download the u20i1.6 binary fron XDA developers. It said it's a zip but it's just a RAR.
I had to uncompress it in a folder. And create a bundle with FlashTool with those files. I will try to upload this.
Then I flashed it. It worked without the error.
-------------------
- At the time of writing this. I upgraded the phone with the PC Companion but
- after updating the phone just got hanged again. It just flash red light when
- swithing on. I don't know why. Have to see.
- Update: Was not hanged I just had to force off (long press on the power button) and then on. The PC Companion finished updating.
- Update: Flashed last version and now SETool Box2 is not able to unlock. Better to stay on 2.X.

So you flashed the custom ROM and then tried to do a SEUS repair? If so, why? I'm a Mini user so I don't know Pro ROMs but have you check that you have the correct basebrand and FW for the custom ROM that you're trying to flash I know the latest for mini users are blah-bla-015 basebrand and 2.1.1.a.0.6. Also what version of the flash tool are you using, 0.2.9.1 is the latest as far as I know.
This is a wild guess but *maybe* try replacing your build.prop with that of another regional code and do a SEUS repair and it will install a FW from another region, not sure if this would make a difference.
Good luck!
Try reflashing with SEUS again! Use total reset flashing....
What is total reset flashing???

I've seen the same problem on the X10.
I'll return with some info when I find the post.
EDIT:
Can't seem to find that post, but try and flash without your SDCard in the phone.
And does your LED blink in any color when you turn it on?
The LED blinks Green after first Power On....

Do you know what baseband you have? If not use the flashtool to flash stock 2.1 rom, root, install xrec & start over.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
My base band. its .54 if im not wrong. and i do not know how to use flashtool give me some instrutions PLEASE. thanks alot for helping.
don't use xrec 1.0.0. and/or your system/data/app/ram is overloaded.
Good say Sir.
Thanks for the advance warning Phillu97 but we are not even that close yet...plus I won't recommend it to anyone unless they know exactly what they are doing.
First go here and you might want to bookmark it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
It has the flashtool, links to the stock SE firmare and instructions on how to use the flashtool, how to root & install xrecovery using the flashtool. If you are sure about BB54 then the file you need is this:
http://www.mediafire.com/?sqv6274anzfzn2x IF YOU HAVE AN X10I
or this
http://www.multiupload.com/9H20YEXEHR IF YOU HAVE AN X10a
Honestly either one would work but it's up to you. Make sure you read the until post 5 cause it will tell you everything you need. Post# 6 on that thread is optional and if you are flashing a custom ROM it's not necessary.
Good luck.
Oh .. so which version of xrec should i use? would ya Link it for me? And also wanna ask if i flash 2.1 rom. Dose it mean than my x10i is gonna be like when i just bought it? or something else? sorry for not knowing alot of stuff . i just joined in yesterday.

you need to use xrecovery version 0.3. If I find it, I will post it here.
http://www.mediafire.com/?eyihuzn4h96xw4c
You should use Xrec 0.3 which now can be easily installed via FlashTool.

v0.3 but you don't have to download it separately. Once you download the flashtool and root your phone, go to advanced and you'll see install xrecovery.
Was your device branded? If yes then then the answer is no. It will flash generic 2.1 firmware but maybe not exactly as yours originally.
That's ok buddy....we all started as noobs so don't worry about it. But do use the thanks button!! LOL
Alright Guys. Thanks Alot. making me feel so welcome already
oh. and whats the best ROM for xperia x10i with android 2.1? (gives highest gaming performance and Mhz)
Err ... what do you mean if its branded?
and about flashtool, does it require my phone to be in dubugging mode or mounted or not. bcos, my phone stucks at the home page. i cant drag the notification bar down. it wont respond to my touches at all, and my x10i flashmode is like, my computer cant even detect my x10i.

[Q] Xperia X10i Flash Problem "Sin header verification failed"

Hello guys,
I recently tried to root and unlock my x10 using the tutorials posted here , the rooting part went okay however I must have messed something up when I tried to unlock the bootloader as right now, flashtool 0.6.7 won't let me flash anything at all , and keeps on throwing " ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN " at me . Tried with several versions of flashtool, tried S1tool to no avail.
Now I'm stuck with a phone that will not boot at all (only vibrates then goes dead).
Your help and suggestions would be really appreciated as I don't wanna give up on it just yet and take it to a service center (out of warranty so I'm gonna have to pay for it myself).
Could you provide some more information?
Which Rom/version of android were you running?
Which method of unlocking the bootloader did you follow?
Did you try repairing the phone with Sony Ericsson PC companion software?
Try flashing the Stock kernel.
As far as i can tell its nothing you won't be able to fix by yourself (with help from here of course ).
Originally I was running stock 2.3.3 , tried rooting using the method posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087 ; everything went fine during the kernel downgrade process , I ran the SETOOL2.bat script which completed successfully however when I got to the kernel upgrade part , flashtool stopped working. Phone is recognized by PC as a "SEMC Flash device" and the green led lights up but as I said in the first post - won't flash my X10. Tried with both Windows and Linux versions, both give me the same error
I also tried fixing it through SEUS and PC Companion , none of them work, keep on saying my phone already has the latest version installed
Suggestions guys ?
Try repair it this method.. Open sony ericsson pc companion and click on support zone.. Then click on repair phone.. Have you tried this?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
yes , i tried repairing through PC Companion , tried updating through SEUS , both keep on telling me I'm running the latest version. I ended up taking my phone to a repair shop, after I'll pick it up I'm gonna ask the guys there what they did to fix it so I can share it with you.
Wish I had seen this sooner
I was getting into all sorts of trouble when I was rooting my phone, had at least 2 instances where I though I had bricked it (which would not be good!). And your post sounds similar to what I was getting at 1.30am last Thursday!
What I did, and what I recommend is to download one of the stock roms and flash that through the flashtool. Keep the stock rom close by, if anything else happens then it is your safe place.
Once you've flashed with the stock rom. Re-read the flashing instructions carefully and try again.
Here's the Stock ROM I used:

Thanks for your reply , I tried flashing a stock rom through flashtool 0.6.7 , it didn't work as i was getting the same annoying error. I must admit that it wasn't the same exact rom that you used.
After I get my phone back from the service center I'm gonna try to unlock the bootloader again.
Now I'm curious if your method would have worked
Error - err_severity=
Hello, I have a bricked X10i phone which gave me following error when I tried to flash is using flash tool.

Why don't you try with latest flash tool 0.8.5 or above.
1. Flash stock 2.3.3.
2. There is a menu in flash tool to root.
3. There is a menu under plugin to unlock bootloader.
Stock rom can flash always. X10 can't be bricked so easily.
Sent from my X10i using xda app-developers app
Since you r already on stock 2.3.3, there is no need to downgrade your baseband.. you need baseband .71 for gingerbread ROMs and the stock ROM is already on it... use SEUS to unroot and flash the stock ROM.. once you r on complete stock try rooting and unlocking using flashtool .9 or the latest version... also install the drivers from the flashtool folder...

Hello guys, i had finally made up my mind to root my xperia neo V, i learnt that i have to "Downgrade to 0.42" version and then root my phone, so i downloaded .42 firmware and latest version of Flashtool i.e 0.9.1.0 , i did all steps correclty, checked all checkboxes correctly, at 13% that flashing is simply stuck, no messages nothing,
so i tried with another version of Flashtool, i,e 0.6.8.0, but that also went in Vain, same stuck at 13%, this is the log,

it gets stuck at system.sin,
i tried checking, 'Exclude System' and then flashed, then it gets flashed upto 100%, but while booting phone is stuck @ 'Sony Logo',
another thing i want to tell is, "Already when i bought this phone it had .62 version installed in it, no .42" , it this the reason for not successful flashing?
my phone is completely dead guys, please help me ASAP, pleading you all, please. i have also posted in talksonymobile.com, please somebody help me, please guys

did you tried other ' USB ' port ?
is the USB-Cable original or NoName ! ?
any AntiVirus active ? < -- switch off !
you don't have to flash ' 42 ', you can flash any current ROM !
what about the BooLoader ?
good luck !
greetings

First of all just make sure that you have installed the drivers for your device.. If not then go to C:Flashtool/drivers
Then, as you said you checked all checkboxes.. You don't need to do that!
Just check on the following, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe apps log..
Trust me I have flashed firmware like 100 times using this method and it has worked correctly!
Do as I said!
All the best!

is only happening with .42 ?
maybe the file is corrupted
did u download it by download accelerators ?
if it was .zip or .rar try repair option in winrar
u dont need to downgrade to .42 to root it you cant root .62 it by flashing attachment via cwm
download .62 and flash that and root it with the attachment

Try downloading the files again, it may be corrupted a download. You may try using a different computer. You can also try flashing an ICS image.
If you still have locked bootloader you can use SUS or PC Companion to try repairing your phone.
There is another option called WotanServer but it is not free, it will cost you about 2 EUR.
PCCompanion (Or SEUS) will always fix your phone as long as you have not unlocked bootloader.
It will restore your phone to the latest "Out of the box" official firmware.
Google and download and follow the instructions.
If it says your phone already has the latest software click on "repair phone".
Remember, if you have NOT unlocked the bootloader yet you CANNOT break the phone permantly....PCCompanion will always restore it.

OK, Download flashtool and use that to root and install a recovery. You can also unlock the bootloader (If you want).
Then you will be able to install any ROM you want.
As for usb otg, read it up in the theme and app section.

dont bet on SEUS OR PCCompanion
They wont always be there to help you.
Once i did a wrong fashing and the phone would boot.
(i was a begginer and i had no back up)
Seus wouldn't recognize my mobile and wouldn't let me repair it.
