Really bricked phone - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi,
I would like to ask you for advice before throwing my X10 mini away and buying something else.
I have had MiniCM7 installed for a very long time (more than a year), and upgraded to all versions without any problem. Today I installed MiniCM9 3.0.2, but I decided to reinstall MiniCM7 because of some problems detected with this version, so I went to SEUS, downgraded to 2.1.1.A.0.6, installed BusyBox, xMiniRecovery, root and flashed MiniCM7 2.2.0 and gapps. I have done it quite a lot of times before.
But, when I tried to reboot onto MiniCM7 2.2.0, my phone was stuck onto Sony Ericsson logo. Here's what I did:
1) Ok, Home+Power and reenter into recovery by pressing back key. No, no luck, it doesn't enter into any recovery.
2) B plan, I'll go to SEUS again. Home+Power, connect USB and keep back key pressed. Nothing, SEUS doesn't recognize anything, but Companion does activate a little popup on my Windows, as if it detects my phone plugged into my computer. No red, yellow, or green lights in the phone.
3) C plan. Flash kernel directly. I downloaded kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17674938#post17674938 and used FlashTool. But, again, when I press Home+Power, connect the USB cable and press back key, it doesn't recognize anything, FlashTool is waiting for me to connect something. Antivirus is disabled.
If I keep back key pressed, no SE logo appears; black screen. If I release back key for a little while, SE logo appears and it gets stuck.
Both if I connect it to the computer or to the power socket, no green/yellow/red led appears.
Does anybody have any idea? Everything (cable and phone) were working wonderfully before flashing 2.1.1.A.0.6 for the last time.
Kind regards,
Jordi

Ok,before u try this u should know it will delete everything of phone memory:apps,contacts,etc.
And it removes root and recovery and phone will be like the day u bought it except that bootloader is not touched if unlocked stays unlocked
TRY AT UR OWN RISK
Steps:
1-download sony erricsson pc companion
2-click support zone and choose software update
3-before clicking continue click on repair phone
4-wait till loads and choose phone type
5-concentrate on this one cuz it has 2 methods
5a:if ur phone doesent restart automaticlly just plug usb in computer first then with phone powered off hold the back button and connect the usb cable only let hold when it says u can
5b:if ur phone DOES restart automaticlly remove battery till u reach this step and put back cover bedside till ur done with this method what were gonna do is when we reach this step we quickly plug battery and before it restarts just hold back and insert usb cable.
6-wait to install
7-congratulations unbricking
8-(optional):click the thanks button :xD

Hi,
Thank you very much for your quick answer. I had never realized the procedure shown in steps 2-4.
But Companion refuses to install it! "It's impossible to install or setup update components of phone sotfware" grrrrrrrrrrrrr Tomorrow I'll try to get another computer and follow your procedure.
Thank you very much

Always happy to help as ive been in such issues alot

You say you have an X10 Mini, and not an X1O Mini-Pro.
The X10 Mini requires you to run the nAa-kernel in order to run the latest verstion of MiniCM7.
You say you downgraded back to stock firmware and installed MiniCM7 again, did you forget about the kernel?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhh you are right!!!!!!! I have installed kernels and versions a lot of times on my device, and I was so confident of myself that this time I didn't realize I was missing one of the most important steps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So stupid of me.......!!!!!!!
I've tried PC Companion as suggested before, but no way: it doesn't detect the "flash mode" at boot time. I keep pressing Back key and I only get a black screen; when I release Back key, SE logo appears and gets stuck forever. It doesn't matter if I try SEUS, PCCompanion or FlashTool, it's always the same. I can't shut it down, just restart over and over again via Home+Power.
Does anybody know what can I do?
Kind regards,
Jordi

Only thing i can think off is to press home-power-back at the same time and release home and power when the screen goes black, all this with the phone connected to the pc via usb, but i'm not sure if that will work.

I do not know what did I do, but by trying for the 1000th time to do the Home+Power+Back key combination with USB connected and keeping Back key pressed, and pressing and releasing it madly afterwards, while FlashTool was waiting for me to flash MiniCM7, FlashTool has reacted!!!!!! It allowed me to install MiniCM7 again!!!
What happened? I do not know, perhaps I pressed Back key just the microsecond that the hardware needed it.
Thank you very much!!!!

hahaha, cool And here i was thinking you were trying to flash the kernel, lol
But good luck

[Q] Rebooting at start

Hello dear xda users.
Today since 1-2 hours ago something terrible happened. My X10i .. keeps rebooting at the "Sony Ericsson" startup.
History:
I updated to 2.2 Beta 4, but I forgot to update the kernel so the phone kept rebooting, but not at startup, only after a couple of minutes.
I flashed to the required kernel, but decided to go back to Beta 3 instead, and the same problem occured here too, also that the wifi and mobile network were out of function.
And I remembered that I had made an backup of my original version with xRecovery, so I restored the phone and tried to switch back to Beta 3 and this is when the **** happened..
Am I screwed?
Stuffs Ive tried:
* Flash the version back (cannot enter flash mode anymore) = fail
* Tried to make a factory reset through PC Companion (cannot enter flash mode) = fail
I need help guys, this phone is only 2 weeks old. I just want to cry, dunno what to do
Bump! No one?
Also tried to pull out battery while the phone connected with usb, pressing back key and inserting key.
I have a thought, maybe its that my phone isnt being recognized by the computer due to problem with USB drivers. Does any1 know how I can manually install it?

[Q] 3 problems in my x10

Hi all. I have multiple problems in my x10i.it has 2.1 It was rooted and worked fine..few days ago I tried to wipe the phone and did the master reset via xrecovery ..after the restart it just hanged at the boot logo and xrecovery is not working from then....I wanted to update with SEUS via USB... but the phone is not connecting as well...What should I do? PLZ HELP ME GUYZ........
Hi,
Seus doesn't recognize your x10 even if you hold back button while plugging usb (flash mode) ?
This week my x10 2.1 crashed (I suppose it was because of rooting with superoneclick without rebooting immediatly), and wasn't recognized by windows. It was in a loop turnig on/off and only putting off battery could turn it off really. Big Problem.
The only solution I found : putting off battery, pluggin usb cable, holding back button and putting on battery. Back button still hold (like flash mode) until seus recognize x10. Then it runs alone and install rom (after I rooted with flashtools and launched jit optimisation, witch increase truely x10 performances!).
Probably seus not recognize your phone because you have a rooted and custom firmware in your x10 and xrecovery is not working because you did a reset and then you delete some files from your phone, you can reinstall it with the x10flashtool or to make a complete restore firmware whit the same x10flashtool
If SEUS/PCC doesn`t recognize your phone, remove them from PC and reinstall them.
You have an USB driver problem

Did you wait for at least 30 seconds before putting battery inside phone (to make sure clearing all memories? And sure you hold back button before, during and after?
Otherwise, what does happen if you press and hold volume button before turning on the phone (and keep volume button hold)?

Well your usb is definitly working then as its glowin green?..
Are you sure you are doing it all right? It happened the same to me, and it ended I was pressing the wrong buttom (I knew which one was the correct one, but was blind cause I was scared that Ive broke it totally), a day later I noticed it and I was able to flash my phone.
However, read a guide and follow it step by step, reinstall everything and start from beginning maybe?
Or use the repair function with PC Companion
Hi! I had the same problem!
1. Search and download from this forum Flashtool 0.2.6
2. Install it.
3. Download from this forum one generic ROM (for exemple X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897 )
4. Put the file in directory Flashtool/firmware
5. Launch X10flashtool.exe
6. DO NOT PUT THE USB CABLE IN THE PHONE
7.From option "flash select the desired ROM
8. Wait the program to begin(a picture will appear)
9. Pressing the back button, insert the usb cable.
10. Wait the flashing to begin and release the back button.
Follow instructions and WAIT around 5 minutes until flashing will complete
11. Send me two words if it helps you! Success!

sry if this is not the place to post this but really a need help
1.Plug your phone to computer, to charge it.
2.When you'll think that your battery is more than 50%, unplug phone from pc. If your phone will be stuck at SE logo(or smth like that), hold "power"+"home" button until you see black screen. Than immediately press and hold "back" button, while plugging it to the pc(or mac). If you see green flashlight and black screen-->congrats, your phone is almost restored. If your phone will have black screen, just hold back button, while plugging it to the pc. Try this 3-4 times, before you'll green flash light and black screen.
3.Restore it using seus, or with Sony Ericsson Pc Companion.
P.S.GingerDX v021b requires unlocked bootloader, and flashed nAa kernel. And if you'll face some problems, pm me

I have the same situation as Eljuan28. I was sort of assuming that the Ginger installer would take care of more than it did. :-(
Reset from a "Sony Ericsson" screen via power + home was in general good information.
It took quite a few tries before I got the green light - you REALLY need to be fast or I'm simply not doing it right. I made is a few times but then it was split second, and afterwards I wasn't sure if I let of of the power toggle and home before pressing the back. Edit: messed with it several additional time, and one trick was to actually have the USB cable in when doing the reset. Got to green right away then.
Some additional questions:
PC Companion says that an X10 Mini is attached. I select repair, acknowledges that all my personal data will be deleted and it progresses for some time. Suddenly, the repair option on the PC Companion aborts with a message that Sony Ericsson upgrade servers are overloaded ... Phone screen is back with Sony Ericsson logo/text, the green light is off.
Tried with SEUS, which stated I was already with the most recent version but allowed me to proceed and go on anyway. I am not allowed to link properly to SEUS as I don't have the sufficient number of posts but a working URL to SEUK is "seuk dot tk" (on ot the XDA members own the domain and post it there).
PS: Wrong thread, but a working GingerDX 017 couldn't just be updated?
BacchusFLT,
You can update from gingerDX 017 up to 021b, if you installed (V017) the nAa kernel version. Just flash kernel and flash new gingerDX 021b. If you have stock kernel's version--> you have to flash kernel, flash gingerDX 021b and full wipe/factory reset.
Sony Ericsson's servers can be overloaded like every other server. To solve this problem, it is necessary to wait some time and try again. Optional you can use SEUS. The screen must be black, while restoring your x10 mini/pro, so if you have Sony Ericsson's logo appeared->it is impossible to restore it. To get correctly to restore mode, you must have switched off phone(watch picture)
Hope it helps.

Dear Mrakoris,
Many thanks for the patience.
First: SEUS did the trick for me. I tried multiple times with some time in between but the Companion complained about overload all the time. SEUS downloaded fine, and I cann't understand why that would work if Companion didn't - the only load on servers would be to fetch the files, and SEUS could fetch it with no problems.
Second: So, reset with the USB cable in and pressing back did work for me, and letting SEUS force install on top of the current installation. Now I am back with vanilla 2.1.1A.0.6, Kernal 2.6.29.
Again, many thanks!
I had this problem long time ago, but it happened because I tried to flash the rom even knowing my baseband was different, so my phone stuck on SE logo and restart in an infinite loop..
Luckly I had Xrecovery installed, so I mounted de SD card, and I can explain how, pc companion recognized the phone and I could restore it to the original rom.
So is a little complicated if u dont have xrecovery or CWM I think...

[Q] Bricked mini pro, event cant flash with flashtool

I tried to flash nAa kernel(unlocked bootloader successfully before) with flashtool and flastool said it succeed. When i reboot my phone it comes up with nAa kernel screen and reboots again. It goes into an infinite loop within rebooting phone, only showing nAa kernel splash screen, nothing more and reboot. I can reach to cwm recovery. I flashed the latest MiniCM7-2.2.0 custom rom and wiped user data/cache. Same problem remained.
I decided to go back the original stock kernel and rom via flashtool. You know the rest; you select the stock files then press ok then it says "oh, ungplug usb, power off, hold back button and plug in usb again". I did this steps several times but flashtool cant recognize my phone. Not even a blink. The weird thing is, when i power off my phone and plugin usb(not doing the holding back button thing) the green light is on(it is not offline charging i know it) same as it goes into flashmode. I tried flashtool again with hope but couldnt recognized phone again. Even S1 tool cant recognize my phone. It seems completly lost!
I tried hopelessly with Pc Companion and get the same result. I found a post about "Gordons Gate Driver" but couldnt get any result with that. No tool can recognize my phone in flashmode, in normal mode(talking about the infinite rebooting state, not even a blink from flashtool).
Im out of ideas, even out of google . Is there someone to provide me with new idea? Or is there something im missing? Please help.
Thank you for reading my adventure hope someone helps.

[Q] PLEASE HELP! U20i X10 mini pro stucked

Hello.
I have a problem. Shortly:
I've installed a new rom, aAn's CM7mod, i think the v2.2, because i couldn't get the tethering work with the other rom. Okay, CWM recovery, install, reboot.. Then for one week was stuck at Sony Ericsson logo, i tried to take out the battery even for 2 days, everything, but still stucked.
Now i tried the flashtool, disconnect the phone, take out the battery, then put it back, press back button, connect usb, green led appears, 5 secs and the phone starts, exits the flashmod. So i cannot get into the flash mode, to make a recovery.
Pls give me advice. Thanks.

Do you have the kernel you need for the ROM you flashed?
Anyway, if you start up PC Companion or SEUS with the phone disconnected and choose update, it will give you a repair option. choose that, select your phone-model, it will download the firmware for it and ask you to connect your phone flashmode. It doesn't need flashmode for very long, it will connect within a couple of seconds. once the popup-dialog disappears jsut leave your phone alone and you will be back on stock firmware.
Thanks will try that, than im comeing with the news..

It doesn't need flashmode for very long, it will connect within a couple of seconds. once the popup-dialog disappears jsut leave your phone alone and you will be back on stock firmware.

You can try to enter flashmode by pressing HOME and POWER button at the same time, that will give it a hard reboot. As soon as the screen goes black (backlight off too), press the back-button. Do this with the usb-cable already attached to your phone and your pc. Ofcourse you do this only when flashtool or SEUS/PC Companion show you the popup to connect your phone in flashmode.
I had the same problem with my E10i, and that home+power than back b. combo helped! :good:
My cell was stucked on bootlogo, but in E10i (X10mini) you couln't pull out the battery just like that, so if you whant to SEUS repair your phone, you must have the phone turned of completly, but i couldn't do that. So i start SEUS whait till i get to the point when he whant your phone connected, then i press home+power button, managed somehow to plug in USB c. than press the back button and releas the home+power buttons. The rest is history...seus recognize the phone...download the files...and repair my phone.
Good luck mate! Try it! :fingers-crossed:
Okay, i've made it.
Shortly, the 1rst problem was the windows 8, ive reinstalld the 7th and SEUS on it, then easily selected the phonetype from the list, than holding back button, than connecting the cable, easy light clean install and thats it.
Thanks guys.
