Yes, I'm an X10 mini n00b.
I'm sorry to post this, but I've been mucking around the net for over two days trying to find a solution, this is my last hope.
To the point:
I've an X10 min - e10i.
I had firmware 2.1.1.a.0.6 on it, and did all the steps towards installing a custom firmware.
I installed recovery, and it worked, so I created a NANDROID backup, then I rooted it, I hacked the bootloader. Everything was fine.
Then I came to put the minicm7.2, and everything stopped working.
The phone would not boot anymore past the Sony Ericsson logo wouldn't even go into recovery.
I mucked around a bit with flashtool, s1tool and others and got to the final position I'm in right now -
Phone boots, but the model now is e15i (no idea how that got there), and the buttons won't work, the sim and sdcard are unrecognized.
How do I fix this? I can't find the generic firmware for the A.0.6 anywhere, and non of the ftf's I downloaded were any help.
Tried to flash the E10i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Sony Ericsson.ftf one (220mb) and it shows me the unplug/plug your phone dialog.
Neither Pc Companion nor SEUS were any help.
Plz help...

I installation xRecovery, but it does not work, boot while holding back would have been stopped at the Sony Ericsson screen, I think my installation steps are not wrong, because I have two Xperia X10, an old date is 10W28 can enter xrecovery, the new date is 10W48, can not enter xrecovery has been stopped at the Sony Ericsson screen. What is the problem? The new machine not support recovery？who can help me? Looking forward to your reply! Thank you.
PS: I am Chinese, and this post is translated by Google, I hope you can understand
Hi men! I am with same problem! I can not install xrecovery
Why is it? Nobody could understand it!
Thanks for Attention !
Try installing it using the manual method.
You are not suppose to hold back key. Just press it some times until xrecovery screen appears when you see SE logo on screen.
Ive got the same problem, Ive tried everything! To push the back button once, two times, three times, held it forever, waited more than 5 minutes, maybe 10? Still being stuck at Sony Ericsson screen.
I read somewhere, that a person erased all his files in the SD memory card, and put the files in the root of SD card.
And it worked for him. I will give that a shot when I get home, but I dont think it will solve it actually.
Ive rooted my phone, completely, installed busybox (it also confirmed that my phone was rooted), afterwards I installed xRecovery without problems.
Just the last part, being, crazy.. !!! HELP

Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Today I finally got around to try and flash my X10 phone that AT&T refuses to update. I really went into this not really knowing what i was doing, so basically I was throwing this at wall here not knowing what'll happen. So I got a firmware .ftf file and a baseband file put it into my firmware folder and the flashtool said everything was alright. So now my X10 just goes through an endless loops of the boot logo for Sony Ericsson and then goes black screen and a blue LED (supposedly this is the Push-to-Talk LED) shows up. So now I'm wondering.. how exactly do I restore factory default on it without being able to go into the phone itself?
Just want to put this out there, I did use the search function but got no results, probably my internet giving me trouble
Thanks in advance for any help!
Use SEUS to restore to AT&T 1.6 first,
then go to the flashtool post to find a 2.1 global generic firmware to flash into your phone.
I think there are youtube tutorial vids showing you how to do so.
Hey all!
First of all, I started a new thread because there are so many replies in Mini CM7 ROM thread and to me it looks (sort of) like a salad. Sorry if I did wrong.
Now, the problem.
A few days ago I managed (I would add that this was not too hard...) to brick my x10 mini. What I did was to relock boot-loader without flashing stock kernel back. After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery wires, I was able to flash an original rom (sadly, SEUS didn't help, it only said that I had the last software installed and the only option showed was exit. So I did another stupid thing, I unistalled SEUS, so bye-bye blob_fs files...), which I downloaded from here. So my phone was back to life and usable. I unlocked the bootloader again and now I can flash any kernel I want. There's only one little problem: no matter what kernel I flash and no matter what rom I install, my phone goes in a boot-loop. The only rom that works is the Orange branded one I used to unbrick my phone. I followed step by step (at least now) all the instructions to install Mini CM7-2.1.1 and Mini CM7-2.13, but no chance, my phone keeps restarting. I even tried to install other custom roms, which are requiring kernel 2.1, with no result. The only one who works is the Orange one.
Now, if anybody could upload the 2.1.1.a.0.6 SE firmware (stock ROM+kernel), I think I might get a chance to solve this (I could only find 2.1.1.c.0.0 and looks like SEUS - at least in my case - doesn't like it). Or if anyone else here knows other ways or have other ideas of how to solve this problem, I'd be very grateful.
Thank you for reading my "book", any help would be much appreciated.
Sorry, but my english is bad
I full wiped my x10 mini pro to install a new ROM, I was with a 2.1 ROM
I've gone to Advanced option in xrecovery and I would like to format the Cache, but I formated the System and I rebooted the phone
Now my x10 does not pass of Sony Ericsson Logo, and I don't have Xrecovery.
The phone don't loop, just stay there on Sony Ericsson logo.
I've put the cable on PC and used the SEUS, but said that my phone has the lastest software.
I can turn on phone on flash mode, just this.
Can anyone HELP ME, PLEASEE???????????????????????
SEUS is saying you have the latest software because you do..it's just not working properly anymore.
The program says something similar to "You have the latest software and don't need to update. Are you sure you want to anyway?". Just click on "Yes" and it'll load the latest official firmware back onto your phone.
Simple.
No it didn't appear, sony won't let upgrade
After 4 hours I got,
I connected the phone on Flash Mode, I flashed and I put the 2.1 firmware, avaliable for you (XDA)
Little hard, but I got.
Now I installed CWM Recovery, and everything works fine.
Thanks for the help and thanks for you, XDA developers for doing a good joob.
Odd. Oh well, at least you got your phone back in the end.
I have searched and read and tried 100 things - so I apologize in advance as I know there are 100 threads about this... but I can't seem to get around this one.
I rooted my Girlfriend‘s Xperia X10 in July 2012. I got SuperUser on it and it would stay persistant. Right? I installed titanium backup and backedup her text messages etc – so it had to be persistant?
Anyway - I flashed and updated it to:
Android version – 2.3.3
Baseband Version - 2.1.71
I tried at that time to put Wolf_Xperia_7.0.0d or something on it... but it just never worked for me and I ran out of time. She needed the phone back.
I think this is the directions I followed in July
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012380[/url
Anyway – GF complained about the phone getting laggy so I started searching and fell in love with what I read about FeraLab v30.6. Looks awesome right?
I looked around and dialed in the secret code *#*#7378423#*#* and found that my boot loader looks locked. It didn’t exactly look like any of the examples – but it certainly didn’t say unlocked. So I followed the LB instructions... Using it as a USB drive I copied the FeraLab files to the SD card.
Well – I fiddled for a while and just couldn’t seem to get into recovery. but then I don’t remember what – but I got to the xRecovery console... So using the volume rocker etc I chose the FeraLab_v30.6_Final Rom then quit aroma and installed the LB FeraKernal-v16-GB. It was all going good.
But first reboot – stalled and Sony Ericsson logo.... I have been stuck there ever since. I think that I let it cook at the logo for 5 minutes... but maybe not that long – could that have fubar’d it?
My other theory is that the sd card is 2 gb and had 1.8 gb used on it. But that was after I put the rom on the card so – it still had some room on it...
My last fear is that xRecovery isn’t exactly the same as CWM? But isn’t CWM what I installed in July when I rooted? I should have taken better notes then.
Using X10 Flashing Tool Version 0.2.9.1 by Bin4ry & Androxyde I have tried reflashing:
X10 2.3.9 FeraKernel v2.7 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
Sony Ericsson X10a 2.1.65 Baseband Only kernal + baseband = SE logo lockup
X10i 3.0.1.G.0.75 1241-1846 = SE logo lockup
X10 2.3.3 DooMKernel-v06-1113-BootManager-v2.0 = ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
X10 aZuZu - Kernel UpGrade Generic = SE logo lockup
X10 aZuZu - Kernel Downgrade Generic = ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
Second try - X10 aZuZu - Kernel Downgrade Generic – SE logo lockup.
I can’t enter recovery following these directions:
To enter xRecovery menu: Reboot and as soon as "Sony Ericsson" appears hit power button on top of phone or start tapping back button until xRecovery Menu appears.
I have also tried: (once Sony Ericsson appears)
a. Hold volume down and tap back repeatedly
b. Hold volume up and tap back repeatedly
c. Hold volume down and power and tap back repeatedly
d. Hold menu and tap back repeatedly
Next tidbit of info – I have looked at the SD card in windows using a card reader and I have a xrecovery tar that I made before I fiddled with this.
Maybe the simple answer is force into the xRecovery console and push that back on?
Any help in rescuing me from the Sony Ericsson logo lockup would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
try to flash ftf rom with newer flashtool if don't have one search on the rom development area and if u got the solution then post it here bcoz i too have one dead x10i.
Un Bricked!!!
Latest Moves:
I fired up another PC with Win7 on it. I get leary running my work PC without an antivirus and searching through Google...
So probably just my paranoa.
Speaking of which - Turn off completely your antivirus!... It deletes part of the rooting program... I saved the zip files after installing.... Everytime I turned AV back on - it deleted that part of the program again.... so then you have to reinstall from the zip file instead of downloading again.
Anyway - here are all the things I tried:
Using Sony companion - went through the steps to fix phone. Sorry - no downloads available...
On new PC downloaded new flash tools Version 0.9.13.0 and tried flashing
X10 aZuZu - Kernel UpGrade Generic = SE logo lockup
X10 aZuZu - Kernel Downgrade Generic = SE logo lockup
Then here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749426
I found a 2.1 firmware file half way down the page. The link is http://d-h.st/wJU
Downloaded this file:
Sony Ericsson X10i / 2.1.A.435 / GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897
Moved it to the firmware folder and flashed it and Voila!!! I have a phone.... Charging it now before moving on.
I still have my flashtool session open and I have enabled Debugging mode and unknown sources on the phone -
so I reconnected - in Charge Only.
Clicked Root
Tried superuser - not superSU
reboot while connected... superuser is there!
Now - I am feeling much better...
BUT - I'd love to get FeraLab Rom working. So if anyone has thoughts on what I did wrong there - let me know.
Should I unlock the bootloader?
I dialed *#*#7378423#*#* and nothing happens...
Should I let Sony Companion do updates before anything else?
I am just questioning everything now.
Anyway - thoughts and suggestions are appreciated. Also - I hope that my struggles helps someone else.
Thanks,
Okay - Duh.
I finally figured out that I should flash
X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200.ftf
Found that here also :http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1749426
So then I followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Everything works up to installing xRecovery. It just errors with "To Be Implemented".
I tried all sorts of things. Searched on "To Be Implemented" and couldn't really find much.
So I followed the instructions here to install xRecovery the old fashion way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773227
now I have xRecovery on the phone and that seems to have installed well.
Now using the flash tool - I clicked on BLU and ran through unlocking my boot loader.
That seemed to work fine too.
So re-read the instructions for FeraLab here...
downloaded the kernal for UL bootloaders.
Flashed the .ftf file using the new Flashtool. That was easy.
FeraLab splash screen now !!!
Now my kernal version in my about phone is 2.6.31.15.1-FeraKernel
Build 3.0.1.G.0.75
Following Fera's instructions - I rebooted twice.
Held my breath and then booted into recovery.
Fera recovery popped up! It said it was based on CWM so that made me breathe easier.
Installed FeraLab GB v30.6 Final that I put on my SD card yesterday
The Fera installer ran and I answered all the questions...
and BAM!!
Sweet Speedy ROM. Looks awesome!
Worked for me!
Hope that helps you!
Good luck!
