First: the phone was rooted long ago succesfully - thats not the problem
i think i kinda f***** it up by trying to install feralab v14 custom rom over cyanogen 7 without performing cleaning, backup, putting a new kernel or firmware(dont know if i even need to do it). I've searched the forums far and wide, found nothing but dead links.
flashtool doesnt recognize the device(green light is on when i hold back and connect), s1tool doesnt recognize it... i cant enter bootloader i cant basically do anything with it.. can someone please help me?
Hi,
Are u on locked bootloader or unlocked one ?
Do u run Flashtool with admin rights if u use windows ?
Do u have the latest version of Flashtool ?
Do u have all the drivers installed for your device ?

Once you're on StockRom, use flashtool to root...
If you are on 2.1 stock rom use flashtool to install a 2.3 stock rom, once you did it unlock your bootloader and install a kernel with his wifi module... Then you're ready to install FeraLab v14 or another rom...

my phone was already rooted, do i need to root it again?
II may need some directions about unlocking bootloader and installing kernel and stuff..
and is xrecovery erased by this?
edit : Xperia X10 was updated with 3.0.1.G.0.75.
So now you are on 2.3.3...
You have to root again your phone...
Use the last version of flashtool...
And the guide by Crowds (It's in my signature "How to use Flashtool by Crowds")...
All is explained for all the stuff... Installation of Flashtool, the drivers needed, the rooting process, the unlocked bootloader process...
Once all is done, install a kernel (It's a .tft file) with flashtool (DooMKerneL, Thgo kernel, KCkernel... )
Don't forget it's wifi module (it's a zip file to copy on sdcard and install via recovery)...
Then, copy the rom you want on sd card and install it via recovery

Buy download mode do you mean flash mode? Flashmode = phone off & unplugged, then while holding the back button plug in usb to pc. Should only get green led, no screen.

Hi all ,
i might be getting my mini next week or so ~! and i am damn excited ( i killed my w8 and ace is too expensive )
but i would love to have a custom rom for my mini
- i did some research and this is what i found
-i wanted hybrom and in order to use it i need an unlocked bootloader
-so i went to http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Mini_Pro:_Full_Update_Guide to see how it's done
-i somewhat understand it but....
here are my doubts
-how do you get ''fastboot'' and ''android SDK''?
-does it work for pro only ? how about just mini?
-when it says open ''terminal '' (on 5) what does it mean terminal ? i search my computer and there is no such thing as terminal ...
-oh and does unlock BL need a rooted phone? (should i root before unlock or unlock 1st?
-in order to use hybrom must i use a custom kernel ?
so can anyone help me?
You can see this link to download fastboot and android SDK (Use on unlocking bootloader)
I used that on unlocking the bootloader of my xperia mini ST15i and i believed that it can be use on any xperia 2011 devices.
I rooted my phone first before I unlock the bootloader.(I dont know if it can be the other way around)
To flash the Hybrom ROM, you need a custom Kernel.
Hope this help.
wait...thats for arc...is the steps the same?
Yeah.You will notice its for Xperia Arc but can be use on 2011 Xperia Devices.
Just follow the steps.
oh...so the diffrence is only the files that need to be donwload / execiuted / extracted?
Nope.You download and use the file in that link i gave to you.
huh?? u used Unlock Xperia Arc Bootloaders.zip file?
Yes.Like I said earlier it can be use on any xperia 2011 device.If your in a big doubt you can search around the forum.
wow ok! i will try it when i get my mini so .. in short
1.root my mini
2.unlock bootloader using the guide 100% follow it
3.flash a custom kernel eg rage kernel using cwm

thats was not easy to root, it depend on your phone FW to root, if on .58 and below, u can use Easy Rooting Toolkit..
but if on .62 u should follow :
this method for no require unlocking bootloader,

and this method require unlocking bootloader,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1440161
what is FW ? and what is .58 .62? wait ...you mean the arc method cant be used ? and the links are dead

FW is Firmware.. it is Permanent software programmed into your phone.. .58 and .62 is the FW version.. different FW version is difference method used to root..

dont root it, just unlock bootloader, flash kernel and then ROM
unlock using SE website, obtain key and download this file- http://www.mediafire.com/?0m6xovf60yx9xn3
extract this rar file, go to 'fastboot' folder, press 'shift' key and right click on background of folder,
select - 'open command window here' , connect phone holding vol+ and enter the commands written on SE bootloader unlock page
wow i read some comments on the mini ..the comments are quite bad ...they say keep force close , screen sucks etc ...at least in the malysian community ..a litle doubtful

I have Xperia Neo v MT11i
I have created backup using CMW of android 4.0.3 ICS version after updating through flashing ....
today I, reflashed to android 2.3.4 GB , unfortunately after installing CMW again now I restored the same backup that I created of ICS version using CMW .... now my phone just stops at SONY ERICSSON logo, ....... I think it is bricked now........
I have unlocked bootloader
Please help to unbrick.....
things i have these things with me.......
1. Flash tool
2. NeoV.4.0.2.A.0.62.ftf .........(GB)
3. MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_Nordic_1253-1755.ftf ......(ICS)
4. CMW recovery image to boot into CMW recovery.
5. Backup made with CMW with ICS version.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED....
1. flashing both GB and ICS version using flash tool, but gets error as ......Error flashing. Aborted
2. formating systen, data, cache, within recovery options of CMW recovery.... still nothing good....
Please help .....
1) it's CWM not CMW
2) cwm recovery doesn't contain kernel
4) ICS can't work on GB kernel
5) solution: use ICS kernel when you're using ICS CWM backup

Regarding this problem, first you said you flashed GB and now you say you got error, how is that?
For flashing ICS .ftf use latest flashtool and tick no final data verification option, or something like that.
If you have problem flashing GB .ftf, using latest flashtool, then use some older version.
I meant that after bricking my phone, i just tried to re-flash GB or ICS to unbrick, and now flashing does not occur successfully but ends with error.

Read what I wrote above.
And give us a bit more info.
What flashtool version are u using, what OS are u using. What error do you get,log file.
Tried downloading older version of flashtool?
extract kernel.sin file from MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_Nordic_1253-1755.ftf
connect phone with fastboot mode to pc
then you have to run fastboot.exe from FlashTool\x10flasher_lib\fastboot.exe
flash kernel.sin via this command
fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
Good news
I managed to reinstall android ICS, before that i tried Wostan X tool Unlock, upto the point where it showed that you have not enough credits. then i retried Flashtool and got ICS installed. now phone runs ICS successfully.
Now a new problem arrived...... Now I cannot connect phone in fast boot mode...... also my adb drivers are gone...... Please help
First you said you have unlocked BL, and now you tried to use wotan tool for unlock, why?
How did you unlock your bootloader?
And regard your driver problem, install drivers from flashtool folder.
And no need to write with that over sized colored text.
I have unlocked bootloader 2 months ago using sony bootloader unlock service...
one other problem I have not mentioned earlier is that phone does not detect SIM card, i have tried 3 other SIM cards also
also by opening service menu in *#*#7378423#*#* --> configuration --> Bootloader unlock allowed: No . earlier it shows yes as i have unlocked it before.
That unlockx is a nasty bit of software, if you try to unlock without credits, it cripples your phone trying to force a sale.
Download s1tool use the restore button, this will fix the sim issue. Then unlock via the Sony method as you used originally.

I have downloaded setool, but it does not shows MT11 in phone type..... then how to use setool? more over i can't run phone in fastboot mode now, only flash mode is possible.
Must be s,1tool not setool
You have to install the zeus drivers, and touch the testpoint, it should detect it as Zeus flash device, then use restore.

How to Root and unlock the bootloader of Sony Ericsson your Xperia x10
Disclaimer: I nor xda-developers.com bear no responsibility for your phone.(this phone is not bricked easy so don't worry if anything goes wrong you could just flash a new stock 2.3.3 with flashtools)
1.download latest flashtools from here if not already done so: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
2.Go here And the and download kernel upgrade and downgrade
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087
3. On your phone go to setting>applacations>unknown sources and usb debugging in development and connect your phone to your computer with your data cable.
4. root would now become available in flashtools so press it(the unlocked lock ICON) and just wait for flashtools to reboot your phone. and you now have root access!
Installing a Recovery
In order to install a new Rom you would have to install a Recovery, if you already see one you want check to see if they need a CWM(CWM5 in flashtools) of just flash through Xrecovery(0.3 in flashtools)
So in order to install on you much have your phone connected and on flashtools click on the black square with a white cross in it and choose according.
Bootloader Unlocking.
5.unplug your phone and power it off. On the top bar in flashtools plugins should now be available with the "Unlocked bootloader" option, so press it and wait until it says to connect your phone then do so by holding down your back button(on your phone) and plugging in your USB cable(don't let go until you see your notifications light come on GREEN
6. While the unlocking is taking place look out for the "you can now unplug and turn on device, then plug it again" do it one time and just leave it to finish and say "successfully applied unlock. Rebooting
7. Smile because you can now flash custom kernel and so forth and so on.
thank you!!!!! =D u save my life!!! =D

Hi, no need downgrade and upgrade kernel are just for easing rooting and bootloader unlocking processes to be done. So since ya want to flash custom kernels, no need to upgrade/downgrade anymore. Just place your kernel ftf under firmware folder of flashtool, then flash it via flashtool. But doomlord kernel got two versions: lockedbootloader (flash via xrecovery) and unlocked bootloader(flash via flashtool) Hope helps. Goodluck

THANKS AGAIN!!
Whitefang, sorry that i am really completely noob in this
now i am still lock bootloader, and i have downloaded domlord kernel file,which is a zip file(for 2.3.3 lock bootloader)

If your xrecovery working for flashing..just flash the zip of kernel. You might get "installation aborted" but nevermind, just reboot phone. When ya see another xperia boot logo, that means your kernel has changed done . Btw, optimal oc doomkernel preffered is 1113MHz, keep it in mind okay cheers

thx again!! so it means that after i had put the zip file into my sd card,
i should reboot n go in recovery mode
then choose the "install custom zip" ?

Yeah, download and extract the zip properly like tof37 senior said, name it and place it in right directory in ya sdcard.
Then get xrecovery mode and use "backup and restore" command then find ya folder then confirm, and let the restore done. Then, reboot and enjoy goodluck

i just want to know why no one is interesting in doing one-step unlock program
Hi!! First I have search over google and dont find any solution, so sorry if someone has written it yet. I have a new xperia U maybe 1,2 month with bootloader unlock status: NO. I update to stock ICS firmware with the sony software (companion) Then I flash one kernel.elf, root the phone with the method of bin4ry. And then i flashed the stock kernel. Well at this point I have the phone rooted. I can do everything on phone but that stock firmware is too slow, hang up .... I want to flash one firmware from free xperia project. In order to install it I have to flash boot.img with fastboot mode. Here comes the trouble my device dont boot in fastboot mode. I think isnt driver problem I have installed drivers from tutorials but in device manager doesnt appear any new device (and I dont hear the sound that a new device has plugged in) To boot in flashmode no problem when sony logo press infinitely vol buttons. To boot in fastboot press vol up and then plug in usb cable. But only appears sony logo and then the battery charging. Some question i asked me is if have bootloader unlocked:NO i can run in fastboot mode? then I can root phone but cannot install custom rom? If not how can I boot into fastboot mode??
NOTE: I have cwm-touch 5.xxx
NOTE: I have donwloaded some CWM v6 I found on google and install it via install zip from sd card on my CWM and then the phone bricked! I have to use the restauration option from companion software.
Well first of all, you should unlock your bootloader........if you want to flash custom kernels.....and the fastboot part try searching on the general section....

Check this thread to see how you can unlock bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
In case you device's bootloader can't be unlocked, you can download some cwm for blocked bootloaders. You can find them on sony xperia u development thread.
The one you tried to install, from Free Xperia Projects, need an Unlocked bootloader.
For now, i think the best thing to do is install stock ics rom via flashtool and try to unlock the bootloader.
@ op
U cant install that rom by fxp
Ur bootloader cannot be unlocked
Bt u can use atis112's patch to install it on a locked bootloader
And bro u wont b able to flash any boot.img files on ur xu

That's true bro, but by installing a cwm for block bootloaders at least he will be able to install some custom roms
