My Xperia X10 had been running the Xperia PlayBox or whatever ROM for a long period of time, like 4 months. Being 100% stable and nice.. But after seeing that ICS was making its way into Xperia X10 I thought "what about testing it". And thats what I did, put in the new kernel and tried both Spar's and CM's ICS.. Both had problems so I decided I'll just go get 2.3.7.... I got down the Semc Debrand Engine and now I have lost my recovery and just keeps getting stuck.
When I get it to enter flash-mode it stays there for under 10 seconds before it just go to charging screen.
Any solutions?
Got two method for unbricking your X10
Use SuperoneClick together with Flashtool. Use SuperoneClick for Shell Root / Root Shell and if you succeed, you can continue with Flashtool 0.2.91 for Ask Root Perms before you flash any ROM (I highly recommend you to flash the stock 2.3.3 X10 ROM) to your X10. It this method didn't work out, use SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) to reformat your x10 to the stock 2.3.3 ROM.
Good LucK! ;-)
use SEUS or PCC to restore all from stock (like new original phone/os/rom)
and start all over again..
(root,,,,instal recovery,,,unlock bootloader,,,flashing kernel,,,installing rom)

Hey so i was trying to install de Cm recovery in mi mini pro
So i need it the busybox thing
I went to the market and downloaded the busybox installer app
After i installed busybox everything was going fine
Until i decided to reboot my phone
When my phone rebooted pop ups started to appear about
Launcher pro not working and dpsmananger not working
And then it said that the process system is not working
What can i do there?
I cant reboot into xrecovery
So please help me!!!
It passes the se screen and the bootanimation
the lockscreen works and the touchscreen too even the freaking screen on off animation works
I think it might have to do with the system files or something

Hey you rom experts out there help me out!!!
Use pc compagnon and flash the good old stock. Otherwise flashtool may also help you.
I did the same like you few weeks ago and this is the only way.

i had similar problem with my phone.I download 'Update_Service_Setup-2.11.5.6' from sony ericsson and follow the instuctions.I lost my data and revert back to original 2.1 rom but i had a live phone ..Then i had to reflash the rom
You won't loose your data if you carefully do backups when playing around with roms

Use Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) To Reflash Stock rom without Root. That should do it.
Just download it and follow the onscreen instructions.

Hello!
I got problem with my Xperia X10i, I don´t know what to do.
Just some few hours ago i installed:
[ROM] [29-07] TripNMiUI "Iris" 1.8.3 Froyo!
h t t p ://android.modaco.com/topic/342875-rom-29-07-tripnmiui-iris-183-froyo-heading-for-20/
And it worked perfect, But then after that i installed Free Kernel 3.63 with Xrecovery like the ROM with misstake..
Free Kernel 3.63
And now my phone wont work, It starts and works to the "lockscreen" but then after that a error message pops up and stands that the system process doesnt answer after i unlock and after that it restarts. And Xrecovery wont start after the "Sony Ericsson" text.
I dont know what to do, If my phone is broke or if this can be fixed!
But please can someone help me!? I would be Grateful forever! and sorry for my bad english!!!
- Have a great day!
Here is how you get back to 2.1
Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Download the flash tool and the firmware you want and flash back to 2.1 and reinstall trip's miui rom.
Did you download the correct kernel for the rom you were using? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112745 has 2 froyo kernels. One for froyo and one for Miui.
Good luck my friend
1. Try flashing a normal kernel via Flashtool, seeing if this is corrected
2. Reinstall xrecovery before FC ? via Flashtool
3. Reinstall via SEUS ?
How can install something when i cant get into Xrecovery or connect my phone to the computer? .. My phone only can charge. Or is it only me doing something wrong? .. Im pressing the back button when the "Sony Ericsson" Text is shown. I dont know what to do

Again, go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Download the flashtool:http://www.multiupload.com/GYL7A7XQBT
and the 2.1 firmware:http://www.mediafire.com/?sqv6274anzfzn2x
Install the flashtool, put the firmware in the firmware folder and then follow the instructions in the thread.
This will wipe all your data and revert your phone back to 2.1. The flashtool can root and install xRecovery allowing you to install The miui rom again getting you back to where you were before you flashed the kernel.
Oh ok. ill try this! Thanks for the help. Sorry for understand directly.
Don't worry I just hope your phone gets up and running again soon!
Hi everybody. Right now i have latest nAa rom and kernel. Id like to know how safe is the restore procedure with pc companion. Does it restore eclair and stock kernel?
Do i have to relock bootloader? Im really scared.
I really need to know this before flashing nAa kernel in another x10 mini pro.
Thanks!

Pc companion or SEUS will reflash stock rom and kernel
Yeah, if u r using pc companion, u will get a fresh stock of S.E firmware. And if u want to flash any custom ROM then, u need to root your device once again. its not gonna re-lock your boot loader. u r free to flash your custom kernel.
Thanks a lot for your answers! Now im ready to flash my friends u20.

Wow... I'm confused again. Can I restore the whole phone with pc companion without relocking bootloader???
I don't wanna touch the bootloader! And i'm planing to go back to a fresh stock eclair
If your bootloader is unlocked, repairing it with SEUS or PC Companion will not relock it, but it will restore stock eclair.
Once the bootloader is unlocked succesfully (you still can make calls and things), there is no need to touch it again, unless you want your phone back in original state for repairs under warranty.

How did you make PC Companion to detect your phone?
My x10 mini is using nAa kernel + MiniCM7.
I'm trying to flash stock kernel using PC Companion, but it doesn't even detect the phone.
It asks to mount the SD card when I plug the USB cable, but after I do that, it says "No phone connected".
It doesn't need to If you want to flash back to stock with PC Companion you can turn off your phone and disconnect it from the computer
Choose update in PC Companion, (It doesn't detect your phone) It will give you a repair option
Follow the steps and only connect your phone when it asks for it (popup asking you to connect your phone in flashmode)
The repair-option let's you choose your model and downloads the firmware for that.
Let us know how it goes

Thank you very much.
I'm going to unlock the carrier restriction of my girlfriend's x10 mini.
The problem is that I've installed nAa kernel and MiniCM7 ROM in it, and it seems that CyanogenMod 7 doesn't have na option to insert the unlock code for SIM restriction.
Searching in Google, it seems that I need to flash stock kernel and ROM to be able to insert the unlock code.
Too much headache for a simple operation that CM7 guys should have implemented...

CM7 is stock android with some extra tweaks The functionality you're looking for is part of android, i'm sure the CM7 guys didn't take it out.
I guess you want to sim-unlock the phone to use it with other carriers? In that case, just pop in a sim-card from another provider and at start-up it will ask you for your unlock-code.
It's as easy as that, but i agree there should be an option to put the code in somewhere in the user-interface

I tried to do that (inserted a SIM from another carrier), but it didn't ask me for an unlock code at the boot.
I've made sure to test with 2 different SIMs, from different carriers.
In both cases, MiniCM7 didn't ask the for carrier unlock code and the radio signal icon showed 4 empty bars with a red little icon (don't remember if an "!" or an "x"). Also, the message "No service" appeared in the screen.
I'm sure that the phone is still carrier locked, since it's working with the original carrier (where I've bought it) SIM.
Odd But I hope it works with stock eclair for you then

Yea. Sony's stock ROM has the feature to insert a carrier restriction unlock code.
It should ask you for the unlock code as soon as it boots with a SIM from a different carrier.
I really don't get why CyanogenMod guys haven't implemented such a feature in their ROMs.
Whatever. Thank you very much for the explanations.
Hi all, been trying all night to unlock the bootloader following the guide on the cynaogenmods wiki page ( found here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Mini_Pro:_Full_Update_Guide )
Sadly however, i seem to fail when getting to the 4th and 5th step of the guide as what is supposed to happen doesnt happen at all when pressing and holding down the Volume Up button aswell as connecting the USB-cable to the computer on the same time.
this is the things and steps i've done and tried:
1) Tried diffrent buttons then the Volume Up button, like Back button, Menu button and the # button
2) tried having the USB cable connected to the computer first, then plug in the usb cable to the phone while pressing and holding down Volume Up button, also tried with diffrent buttons while doing this, aswell as doing vice-versa (having the USB connected to the phone first, and connecting it to the computer)
So what is the result of all this? the phone only gets into charging mode, and that's about it, either a green or orange LED starts to show aswell.
Some things worth mentioning:
I used to have a very old version of sonybread with CWM (clockwork mod) but before begining the guide i totally cleaned my phone and even re-flashed it to stock rom with SEUS, so currently my phone is using the stock rom without root and a locked bootloader (as far as i know about the bootloader atleast) and currently the phone is working as intendeed with the stock rom, but in all honesty it sucks using it and therfore i'm trying to put in a stable version of Cynaogenmod.
Also i never managed to get the fastboot comand terminal to work fully when launching it from Android\android-sdk\tools as it missed several comands, so in order to actually get the fastboot to work as intendeed i had to launch it from Android\android-sdk\platform-tools which was the fastboot that came with the SDK and not the one downloaded from the wiki's guide on how to get fastboot.
Something more worth mentioning is that it seems like the device manager can't find the phone while being in charging mode or when i do the "Volume Up button" and connect the USB to the computer thingy, however the phone shows up in device manager if its being started up or is being on.
I do however hear the "a USB connected sound" everytime i connect the phone in any way i've tried when it gets to charging mode, but then it never shows up on device manager.
And last but not least, i'm running a x64 W7 Professional machine.
Sorry for such a long thread, but want to try to explain my problem as troughly as possible aswell as everything i've tried in order to rule out as many other problems aswell.
hey friend.... that post is for mini pro not x10 mini pro...... to connect in flash mode you have to press the back button and then connect the phone via USB..... be sure u have SE tweaker tool for X10 mini pro and Drivers along with GORDON gate driver......
And to add to that the 2010 devices do NOT support fastboot, so it is no wonder it didn't work properly.
And if you tried the bootloader unlockers for the 2011 MiniPro you're just lucky your attempts failed
Try it following these instructions

I see, thanks for the quick reply.
I've decided to scrap the unlocking bootloader thing as it seems to be way more complicated then i tought. i will just stick with using the stock rom untill i get a new phone as this one his toally horrible with the stock rom.
If any mod can mark this question thread as solved and prehaps lock it if necessary it would be good, thanks.

You don't have to stick with stock firmware, in the x10miniPro development section there are a lot of roms based on gingerbread android that will run fine on the stock kernel choose one to your liking.
There's a very clean rom called Clean0.0 v6 you definitly have to check out.
check out minicm7pro.... its the best and most stable..... minicm9 is also good but the battery perfomance was really poor...

No that is total rubbish you posted
Not every custom rom needs an unlocked bootloader, you only need an unlocked bootloader if you want to install a custom kernel.
If you choose a rom that will run on the stock kernel, you only need root and either cwm or xrecovery, depending on the installation method of the rom you chose.
If a rom runs only on a custom kernel, then the installation will be done through CWM, because that's what is included in the kernel, on stock kernel you might be ok with xrecovery.

Hi I have an Xperia X10 mini pro with the code 11W25. I want to use the latest MiniCM7 custom rom (I think its MiniCM7-2.2.2) and the powerful nAa 2.6.29-14 kernel to breathe new life to this obsolete stock SE 2.1 firmware. I've been seeing posts saying codes below 11W29 is safe to unlock bootloader. I just want to make sure because I want to unlock it with confidence. Is it safe to unlock the device with the code 11W25?
I've posted this question in the X8 unlock bootloader guide and they said the rules mentioned there is not applicable to X10 mini pro. My X10 mini pro can use different SIM Cards, I mean its not locked to a certain network provider. I received it here in Manila from abroad One more thing, if I wanted to go back to stock, I can use SE PC Companion and it will bring back stock firmware and kernel right? Will it relock bootloader too? I've been watching these videos from youtube doing a guide on how to unlock bootloader and installing the nAa kernel in this youtube channel called minicyanogen(mod)
thanks in advance long live xda =)
