Bricked Xperia mini Pro - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Ok so i unlocked bootloader with omnius-server free offer, did the testpoint thing correctly, program told me everything went succesfully, now phone won't boot, won't shine a light, won't make a sound. Nothing, computer won't recognize it, only testpoint makes the computer recognize him. Is there any possible solution to unbrick it?

Same here but i can't enter to flashboot :s

That is why I dont understand what for people usung testpoint method.You probably burn tracks on motherboard doing it wrong.I dont think so you would unbrick it on your own.Best way carry it to some phonemedic in your area.

It is surely got a hard brick if your phone CAN'T enter at least Flashmode...send it to your nearest phone service repair,or official Sony Ericsson shop repair...

**** happens when use a PC instead a laptop
out of joke.
Let it charge for a few hours and after that try to turn it on. if you feel the vibration maybe you´re able to start all over again...flash a stock rom.
if you can´t feel any vibration, well...you may start to think buy a new phone and a laptop
i charged it for 5 hours but i cant feel a thing
i bought a new x10 and i put a fullycharged battery in it but nothing
i think i have a expensive dummy phone
maybe if somebody know if car restore it trough adb or something
Try to use sony's pc companion....
when you connect your phone to laptop it won't see it.
click on the left icon in pcc.. a window will open,.. on my laptop there is a link to REPAIR PHONE....
if you click on it... it will say what to do..
You will have the stock rom on your x10!!
it worked for me.... only thing is... it's stock again.. (so unrooted)
hope it works for your

FIX!
I had the same issue when I was experimenting with ROMs and Recoverys, but not to worry, Sony PC Companion 2.1 does the trick!
Download PC Companion 2.1 from the Sony Mobile website
1. When you download and open it, click start under Support Zone
2. Click start under Phone Software Update
3. When the window saying that a phone could not be found appears, click repair phone
4. A windows like this will appear, click continue to proceed with the repair of the firmware
NOTE: All data that is placed on the phone memory will be wiped but any data saved on the memory card will be spared
5. After clicking continue, a window like so will appear. Tick the box and click next to continue with repair!
6. Sony PC Companion 2.1 will now prepare the computer for the firmware update
7. Now choose your phone model, in this case it should be the Xperia X10 (X10). Select the phone and click Next!
8. Follow the prompts to repair your phone!
GOOD LUCK!!
Always fails for me.
All process end in fail
There must be a file I need to rename or something....
tried everything now...
I have tried everything by now, here i have attached a attachment of error i get while repairing my phone through SEUS..
only option is box flash, but i think its kind of risky...
Fail fail fail..... i'm getting hopeless wif my X10
Hey,
I did some re-search and got to know that somehow my X10 flashes as So-01C in some systems, i.e. xperia arc, even while updating ..........
Anyone here, knows other ways to flash through box other than technician, coz these technicians are real idiot they can crap your phone in 10 seconds, so its better to crap it yourself...
"alternative to box flash, please ???"
Try this
Had the same problem once, when my phone would not start at all, all I had to do was connect it to the PC Companion (2.0), at first it wouldn't repair but after a certain amount of tries it did the trick,
First: Make sure all your drivers are installed, if they were installed there should be no problem.
If they were not, the computer cannot identify your phone, try installing some other x10's drivers (cause your's is bricked I assume) that might do the trick aswell.
Open PC Companion > Support Zone > Phone Software Update (Start) > Follow Instructions > Repair
It might take several tries to get it right
If this doesn't work try the latest flashtool, it should do the trick !!
There must be something you are not doing right, else SEUS/Flashtool should have worked like a charm.
see i get this reply, when updating x10..
I have tried this like thousands of times, installing roms and then removing them and repairing the phone, but this time it has gone over my head........

[Q] Xperia Mini Pro DEAD - Help me load new SW

Hi,
i have problem with SE Xperia Mini Pro (SK17). All of a sudden, screen went black when I was using it. Ever since, I cannot even start the phone. I tried to turn it off, but it doesnt work. I also put the battery out of it, waited for a little while and then put it back - but it still doesnt work. When i try to turn it on, only black screen is what I see.
I tried some repair shop and they told that it is problem with Software and that it needs to be reloaded, I mean that SW has to be replaced with the new one.
Can anybody please help me do that?
Thanks a lot guys

Did it brick while a software update or really just while using it? It's not battery related?
Is your bootloader locked and are you using a custom kernel or rom?
You will have to flash the original firmware again using flashtool. For that download flashtool from the development section and install it. Go to the installation folder > drivers and install all drivers for all devices.
Afterwards download the 4.0.2.A.0.42 .ftf for SK17i from here and place it in the flashtool folder > firmware. Delete all other files in firmware folder.
Open flashtool, click on the flash and select flashmode -> ok. Select the 4.0.2.A.0.42.ftf and click okay. Let your phone turned off and hold volume down and while you hold volume down just connect usb to pc. Don't power phone on, just connect to pc while holding volume down. Flashtool will automaticly flash the firmware. I hope your battery status is more than 25%
Don't disconnect your phone while it's flashing. Afterwards plug phone off and reboot, it should be alive again
Thank you, I will try it.
No, it is not battery related, I checked battery. And it didnt happen during SW upadte, it happend during regular usage. Al of a sudden...
Thanks again for your reply, I will try it as soon as I can. I hope I will be able to do it despite the fact, I have no experiences in such things... (I use iOS, this Android phone belongs to my girlfriend)

So I did everything as you wrote, but it didnt help Phone was flashed correctly I guess, there were no errors in report. Should I try some different mode or something else? Anything?
Or does it mean, that it is not software failure?
Thanks anyway
Did it vibrate, When you power on the phone?Can you see the boot logo?try to repair it through sony pcc.if the problem still exist then its hardware related. You have to replace the display.....
Sent from my ST15i using xda premium
I think it is your display or ribbon problem.All the sliding phones have this ribbon problem.
Yes, it did vibrate. Im not sure it is display problem, because the display shines, but only black color - it is not as black as if it is turned off.
And no, I can not see boot logo. Only vibration and shining black color

try to repair it through Sony PC Companion. if it doesn't work then your display is dead
Beforing that flashing, PC Companion wasnt able to recognize phone - now it does. It immediately recognized, that there s xperia mini pro plugged-in.
So does it mean, that SW is fine and the display is messed up? Now i m trying to repair through pc companion, i ll see if it helps.
Thanks guys anyway for all the help

Looks like display's got a problem. So try to repair via pc companion (guess bootloader is locked if pcc recognizes your phone) and if that doesn't help bring it to service
PC Companion didnt help. It has just loaded the latest software to the phone, but it is still same - i try to turn it on, it vibrates and then black screen is shining.
So I guess you guys might be right - display might be dead.
What does it mean that bootloader is locked? The phone was recognized, I also updated the SW via PC Companion

well... display + ear loudspeaker (or flex cable can it be, i m not sure)...
i m not sure if it s worth repairing (I bought it second hand, i dont have warranty certificate)
You mean warranty for phone? Ask at service center how much it is to repair without warranty certificate...
And: No if pcc recognizes phone the bootloader is locked!

Try this:
Download UnbrickingXperia2011.zip file from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?s166qsg8qaaxc43
Unpack the .zip file and place the .ftf file in Flashtool\firmwares folder.
Open Flashtool.
Get your phone to flashmode, make sure it is turned off, press down Volume DOWN button and connect USB cable.
In Flashtool, click the lightning button, pick Flashmode and choose the Xperia_2011_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf file.
Let Flashtool finish.
Now do what mihahn said.
I hope it helps, if not then it is a display problem
Eventually, there was nothing left to try, so I went so mobile repair service a had it diagnosed.
The only problem was flex cable. They also told me that it is quite common problem for slide phones. Fortunately, display was OK.

Okay so you have installed all the drivers for flashtool and PC Companion?
What have you done with your phone, on which software version have you been, is your bootloader locked/unlocked, are you on a custom rom/kernel?
Please give us more information and we can maybe help you
Hi George,
It looks like your phone has gone into a factory mode as said in this thread.
You might want to send it to warranty repair if your bootloader is still intact and your warranty period isn't over or you might want to try different key combinations to wake your phone from coma (that's what it looks like) . If you manage to boot your device using different key combinations then immediately put your phone in A/C charging. After full charge do a factory reset and repair your phone using seus (this might work but not guaranteed) . For more info google "qhsusb_dload xperia" and also read the above mentioned link carefully.
Good luck!
Press thanks if I helped you.

This issue is a rarity. It is generally a device fault or happens when you play with the device's bootloader in the way you shouldn't. I've read somewhere it means that there is no bootloader in the device and the phone is waiting to be flashed with a bootloader and that's why it's called the factory mode. ( I can't verify my sources on this ).
Press thanks if I helped.

[Q] WT19i Bricked - please help!

Hi,
I've get my girlfriend brother's phone to check - so it is bricked. I do not know how he did this. But phone is not turning on, no led light or sth. But it is known on PC as QHSUSB_DLOADER - I do not have drivers for this mode.
I've tested all methods to get it to flash mode for FlashTool, but it is not working.
Any sugestions?

First, can you explain better how the phone bricked??
have you tried flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=953586&d=1332104415
extract tft and put it into flashtool/frimwares , then flash it..

I do not know how it was bricked, but he said that, the power on button does not work, after phone died, before it his PC doen not recognise phone, my on my PC phone is known as as mentioned before - I do not have drivers for this strange named device
AFAIK, your phone is permanently bricked. It's loader is corrupted which has caused it to go to factory service mode. You have to take it to Sony service center or have an expert JTAG the phone to recover it. BTW, How did he do this?
Have you tried installing the drivers from flashtool folder and connect it in flashmode?
I think it's hardbricked, too, and you have to take it to sony

Have you tried to connect the phone to pc while holding the volume up button.........a blue led must glow up
If the phone connects .......that means you can flash a kernel by fastboot method

To look for jtag cable Google it and look for a dealer in your region and call, them they will give you right solution.
