hi can someone please help i tried to flash my xperia x10 mini and failed badly and now when i turn on my phone the logo screen comes up and then just stays on... ive left it for about 20 minutes but still nothing its like its bricked on the logo screen i can restart it but it just does the same again. Ive also tried taking the battery out putting it back in then using the update service to lock it in flash mode while i use binarys flash kit but that doesnt work either. Also the update service just says no software update is available it thinks i already have the latest one please help i will be truely greatful x
Edit :
Ive already tried SEUS, PC Companion, Binary's Flash Kit.
Ive already tried connecting it to the adb but cant get adb to recognise a connected device and all the drivers are installed.
i guess you have, but i've to ask, have you tried the repair option in SEUS/PC Companion?
yeh i have seus says i already have the latest software version installed and pc companion actually wants me to load my phone up to connect it :/ any ideas? x
me too!!
i had the same problem with you...
how to get shutdown this phone?
phone must be shutdown when i want to flashing from SEUS..
and i don't know how to shutdown this phone because the battery....
edit : just connect your phone and use restart (hold power button & middle button)
after reboot, press back button and you will connect with SEUS...
but, my phone already get latest update...and i can't flashing from SEUS...
sob..
ive been shutting down the phone by taking the back off and unscrewing the inside cover. Then you will see the battery cable where you can simply unplug it from the motherboard and then reinsert it.
Edit: I also have connected to SEUS but it says i already have the latest software
Ive taken it to a local phone repairs shop ive given up... they said it'll be fresh and working by tomorrow morning it cost me £20 but its just one of those things en it :/
hey guys
all you need is to follow the instructions on SEUS,
when it tells you that you have the latest software press repair.
and when it say that you should turn off your phone and then reconnect it while pressing the back buttom do the following:
1- connenct the phone to the computer
2- press the 3 buttoms (power + mid buttom + back buttom) then as your phone restarts and vibrate remove your fingers from the power and mid buttoms but maintain pressing on the vack buttom
i hope this will help
I've got a Xperia x10 mini, I was trying to unlock it (no success, as you can see). Now I'm capable of doing nothing, my xperia just shows a black screen with the sony ericcson logo on it, can't be switched off (even pressing power button and the button in the middle, it just reboot and come back to the logo) when I try to plug it into my laptop by the normal way (meaning that I remove the cable and put again pressing the button with an arrow), in order to reinstall the ROM, my laptop doesn't get it, the only thing I can get right now is that lousy black screen and I don't know what to do.
Any help out there?
Try Bin4ry flashtool
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
I'm trying but it just say:
Searching for Xperia
Maybe is my ROM version, do you know any tested one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825664
and you have [HOWTO] if you're unsecure.
Try it with SEUS on another Computer (no Windows XP)
This works for me....
SEUS or Flasher.. same thing, same result
hey, all you need to do is the following:
1- go through the steps of SEUS till you reach the step which tells you to connect your phone to the computer.
2- connect your phone to the computer (even it is still showing just the SE logo.
3- press now (after connecting to computer) the "back buttom" + "mid buttom" + "the power buttom" all togother, then as your phone turn off remove your fingers from the buttoms except the "back buttom"
here the computer will recognise your phone.
4- continue through the rest of the steps
i hope this will help
When you get to the:
"Searching for Xperia..."
Turn off your phone, hold back key (<-) and connect it with PC via USB cable while holding back key. Green light should flash on your notification led.

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...
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

Ok, you are right again; FlashTool allowed me to install the kernel ;-) and then, everything else.

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.

no, i didn't... how were you thinking of making a recovery in flashtool then?
well, this would be my question. what can I do? cannot get in the flashmod more than 4-5 seconds, because the phone is starting, and getting stucked at SE logo.

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..

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.
