[Q] Problem with PCC & SEUS - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hello all,
I have a problem. PC Companion isn't updating my phone. It just stucks on "Preparing" stage and gives an error.
Then, I found SEUS and installed it. SEUS doesn't start. Just splash screen and error. (log in the attachment)
How can I update my Ray to ICS (also, it didn't update my phone to .62 too, i'm on .42 gingerbread now) through other ways?
Additional information:
Using Windows 8 Consumer Preview, Java 1.6.0_24 and 1.7.0_03, latest versions of PCC and SEUS
Sorry if I posted topic in wrong forum and sorry for my bad english (i'm russian)

i don't know if your error come from windows 8..? but for PCC, check your drivers installed correctly, and before upgrade your phone "load fully" your battery and check your antivirus is disabled. (don't mount your sdcard you must use MTP ithink)
if the problem persist you can try flashtool 0.7.0.0
all you need is in the developement section

As far as I know it needs unlocked bootloader. I don't want to unlock it.

seus is sony ericsson update service.you need to first download this from the se product site.Once you install and open this application on your pc,the rest of the work is very easy and explained step by step.go for it.another thing---in future before you flash any custom rom,backup your virgin 2.1 using xrecovery so that you can always go back to this opening condition when you are troubled by the custom rom you have installed.
do press the thanks button if this helps you.
Ok, sathkartha.
I'll try it and remember to do the backup. Was my first time and i forgot to do the backup when i remembered was too late.If it works i'll post the result here and press the thanks button.
Thanks
sathkartha,
so, I've made it and followed the intructions and the message that came up for me was:
"No new software is available for your phone. Your phone already has the latest available software isntalled"
Do you have any idea what I can do from now?
Thanks
@alloha----on that screen itself,you will still see a prompt encouraging you to install--click that and move forward.
should I downgrade to 1.6 to seus works?

The SEUS's version is 2.11.4.11 the latest.
I was using the PC Companion and when it says to disconnect, turn off the phone and connect again the message that comes is: "there is no version. try again later"
am i doing something wrong?

Thanks for the print, but it doesn't appear for me.
I'll keep trying. Any result i post here.
look at the screen which shows to me
shuold i put some archive in /system or /system/bin?
I think I see what the problem is here:
miniCM uses a modified build.prop so that neither SEUS nor PC Companion update the firmware at any moment,that's why your SEUS says that it doesn't have nay new software for you.
I'd say that instead of trying to go back to 2.1, rather try to do a clean install of any of the custom ROMs, and please do follow the instructions to the letter, most freezing and rebooting in custom ROMs happen due to not doing a factory reset before installing them.
@Akath19 i understand. I would like to go back to 2.1, make a backup and then install a custom ROM. Because I've tried to install a lot of time the custom ROM and this problem keeps boring me.
Talking about build.pro... there is some solution for it? like change this specific build.prob for another one that makes SEUS works?
ohh
you have to flash with the flashtool
because seus or other software couldn't flash it
sorry

Leave your phone unplugged from the computer when you ask SEUS to search for an update. Since it won't recognise the phone it won't find any updates and assume your phone it broken, so it will give you a repair link.
Click on it, and follow the steps.

This is stock firmware for the E10i for flashtool, move it to the firmwares folder and flash it like you would flash a kernel.
It's 2.1.1.A.0.6, baseband *4015, with a loader.sin for unlocked bootloader.
Let me know if your phone works after flashing this.

Don't know, I think you did something wrong somewhere, but glad it helped.
On the ICS kernel, only flash ICS-roms that state they need that kernel.
If you want Gingerbread, flash the nAa-GB kernel.

Cannot update to 2.1 (X10 mini pro)

Hello guys, I need help because I cannot update my X10 mini pro U20. I already tried SEUS and PC Companion but it indicates that I already have the latest software installed.
I am using Android 1.6 and was hoping to update to 2.1 but the above hindrance wouldn't let me. I tried also repairing through PC Companion but it says that no software is available for my phone?
Please help... I tried using flashtool but I cannot understand it really.

What did you try to do with flashtool? Did you find and download 2.1-firmware for your phone that needed it?
Using flashtool to update your phone is just as easy as SEUS or PC Companion, but without the restriction that you can't update your phone

What a weird thing, when I checked my About Phone setting, I saw it was updated to 2.1 without me knowing. But now I have a problem, I can't use my wi-fi. It says 'Unable to scan networks.' I read I should re-flash, but I tried using flashtool, I put the firmware files on the firmware folder but when I flash, I do not see any selection though. I installed the latest flashtool.... though I cannot find the flash.bat -> I don't know if that's the right .bat name

There is no .bat with flashtool, it's a User-Interface driven program, just start the flashtool executable.

Apparently PC Companion says the phone must be on to flash the firmware, and Upgrade Center says that I can't flash the firmware because the firmware I installed is custom and it's ''impossible'' to flash it.

Yes you cannot flash woth PCC or SUS with unlocked bootloader.
If you have firmware file you can flash it with flashtool.
If you don't have firmware file, you can build it yourself.
First start repair with PCC, when it asks you to connect in flash mode quit it.
Now build the firmware file as shown in this post
There will be some differences if you use latest flashtool but they are not that difficult to figure out
If you are having flash tool driver problems please look at my post here first its proven to work please can u tell me are you using windows 7?
