Hello,
It happens.
I brick my phone x10 mini and its now stuck in sony ericson white written name.
It happens cause i Unluckyli i press "customize" button in x10flasher.
Can i reflash throght x10 flasher?
Any aid?
Tnx in advance.
Sol.
Dude jst re-flash again with Bin4ry Flash.....and this problem will no longer exists.
Or eventually, use SEUS/Companion repair method. Remember, when u turn off the phone (home button + power on button pressed), insert usb cable and keep the back button pressed for a while (2-3 min) until green led turns on.
The main problem was because you cannot take off batery.
I waited 7 hours with the stucked screem, than turn on charge, it boots up in chargemon.
From there, bin4ry worked very nice.

Holding power and home button for 3 seconds also restarts the phone when it stuck on son ericsson screen
i did that and now it cannot turn on after numerous attempts
i cant find that rubber cover
there is a orange thing whcih can be pushed,but i cant find any wires....plssssssss can u help me out with more details and if possible with some picturessssssssss

i've tried using PC companion, but i think there may be a bug or something. When i connected my phone, it says no software available.
Hi there.
Got my X10 bricked.
How that happened:
Yesterday put my phone on vibrate/silent mode, shile was at cinema. Battery was about 15%. Later on I ffound that phone is off, thought it happened because of low battery. When I got home I've putted it on charge. Red light flashed few times. After about 2 hours I looked at it and no light was there. Phone didn't turn on. Took battery from another X10 (fully charged) and nothing happened. Tried to connect it to PC to reflash it, but no green LED appeared and PC told me, that unrecognized device found. After few PC restards even this disappeared. Just silence. None of buttons pressing configurations helped.
Tried with no SIM and SD cards. No change.
I have latest ROM on it and xRecovery.
Any ideas of what I could do?
hey dude one thing for ya.. you can never brick your x10 its not those old phones it a computer based/linux phone.. If you go through the forums you can find the info of how to unbrick x10 .. try Pc companion or go to sony website and try SEUS( Sony Ericsson Update service) it'll fix your phone up.ill do my best to post a link for ya if i can find it soon
here u go dude. read through this link and you'll fix your phone..

Thanks. But thing is that phone doesn't go in flash mode. No green LED is on. On first try I got "unrecognized device" from XP, now it's just silent on phone connection.
i think its more in hardware related because as far as i know eh you cant brick your phone. and battery drainage is far related to bricking..so i guess its a hardware problem..maybe you sat on it or something..because bricking is moreon software related.
try this
*remove the battery
*plugin charger to your x10
*hold the power button while inserting your battery.
just give it a shot..
It was in my wifes bag while that happened, but she has her phone just beside mine, so not shure it was because of some pressing on it or whatever.
Tried what you told me - no result. Tried pressing/holding power bttn before, while and after battery insertion.
Again, there was red LED at first, when I've plugged in charger yesterday, but later on it disappeared. I've charged my battery on another phone. Now it nearly full.
Try all solutions before u send ur phone for repair. I had to send my in to ATT and they said it was probably a hardware issue. So i hate to say that but i had the same thing. Sorry to tell u that my friend.that red light is a killer.

got a similar problem.
my x10 will only vibrate and the led blinks green, but the phone won't start.
tries SEUS, pc companion, pc suite, flash tool. nothing helped.
any suggestions?
Well, mine won't even vibrate.
Voelker45, so you got replacement or they repaired your phone? Could you tell me wich part it was?
I bought my phone on ebay, so no way to send it back. And it was in August 2011, so anyway, I have to work that thing myself.

Install SEUS and run it. Select x10 and it will install drivers on your phone. Then plug in your phone and try to repair.
As I wrote before, x10 does not enters flash mode, so no way to reflash.
And looks like it's really hardware issue. Something with powering.
Ok, thanks everyone. Since I bought it on ebay and it would be unreal to send it back to seller and we don't have SE service centers here, I'll fight for my phone till the end)))
Maybe something from this thread will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944322

Thanks, G-FACE.
Strange thing happened:
Connected x10 to charger without battery. No LED turned on. Left it for a few mins, pluged in battery. No result. Took usb plug out and ! phone turned on. As it was without SIM cars, I turn it off, took battery out, putted SIM in, battery in and... again, it's not turning on. Tried repeating that way - nothing. Must be some hardware connection problem near battery. Will disassemble phone tomorrow.

Me again)
Strange things keep happen.
Here is the story:
Finally, got some star shaped screws yesterday and took apart my phone (thnx to McKebapp).
Non of IC were with readable names) So later on, after few hours of serching I found Xperia X10 scheme files (!!!). So the most probable faulty part would be Qualcomm PM7540 - power distribution IC.
Anyway, it was to hard for me to understand all that stuff in scheme, so I gave up(.
Assembled my phone back again. And just to... em.... have it done, lets say, I took out battery, pluged X10 in charger, pluged battery in. But it doesn't turned on again. So I took USB plug out abd - tadaaa - screen lightened.
Waited till phone loaded, turned it off again, pluged SIM and SD cards in, turned it on again - and it did! It turned on!
So, night passed and it still works.
Btw, yesterday I've rebooted it few times and it still was ok.
I don't know what was the problem, it could be bad contact, but there is no wires between battery and power distributing IC.
Anyway, X10 is back again)
Hi all,
yesterday I used an emergency method for the second time which saved my phone even when SEUS doesn't respond. Please note:
1. This is an emergency method, if ALL other methods fail. If you are not comfortable with this, then don't do it.
2. I don't know if this works for the new Mini or either Pros.
3. You can damage your phone if you do this incorrectly, so take care, and you do this at your own risk.
4. If you are still in warranty, this can void your warranty if they detect what you've done.
5. If you're VERY new to all this phone modification stuff, you probably shouldn't do this. But, if you are new and all other methods don't work, then you can try this if you don't want to/can't afford to send away to repair.
Still in trouble? This is ESPECIALLY useful if your phone won't switch on, SEUS won't detect it and charging doesn't show LED. Do this:
1. Take off the back cover.
2. To the left of the camer lens is a rubber part covering the phone. At first, it looks like it won't move, but use something small and thin (like a pin or tack) to gently lift that up, and take it away. You need this so keep it.
3. Inside you will see a small white connector. This connects the battery to the rest of the phone. Use a tack or pin to gently pull back on the white part. When it does get loose, lift up.
4. After a few seconds, put that white connector back. I do it by laying it down and pushing in with the pin/tack, and push down. You must hear it click. Be very, very careful with this, it's delicate!
5. Put back the rubber connector and case.
Try switch on your phone now. Twice, this has helped me when ALL else failed...
**When you take off the rubber cover to the left of the lens, you will see this white tab as you can see in this picture. You use a pin/tack to drag that back, then press down again and push it into the phone to reconnect. This resets it.**
I have used this on the 2010 Mini, and I don't know about the 2011 Mini or either pros...

Sure!
Honestly, this method has worked twice now (only needed it twice) and if the phone doesn't switch on, PC/laptop/SEUS don't detect it/no LED or anything...this STILL works...! It's a kind of hard reset we need, if soft reset (home and power) don't work.
can anyone confirm whether this works on the pro yet ?

If I understand it, this disconnects the battery from the phone. On the mini-pro you can just pull the battery.
Sent from my U20i using Tapatalk
Yes, that's right ^^ on the Mini of 2010 you cannot disconnect the battery like normal. This is how you can do it, and it really does fix many of the worst kinds of problems...it re-starts the connection of the phone.
Still not working ;(
i tried this method twice, and nothing happened...
my phone was working fine yesterday, woke up, found it turned off.
i tried to charge it, and it showed no signs of charging, no LED lights, no heat, nothing.
i tried to restart it using the power+home+back buttons, i tried to get it on flash mode, nothing worked.
its still off and NOT charging even though its been connected to the charger for like 2 hrs
anymore ideas?
Hi buddy.
There's something different with these smartphones. This happened to my Mini also. I contacted Sony Eric. and they said make sure your battery doesn't die completely. You must leave it charging in the wall for about 2 hours and wait for an LED (green) to show. If that doesn't work, then I'd try SEUS and repair the phone. If that doesn't work, then I'd try this solution. It really should be the LAST thing you do - if you're not very familiar with this you can break it.
And you tried this method and it did nothing? Really? You disconnected the white wire, waited 10 seconds and reconnected? Then I'd try charging for 2 hours WITHOUT trying to turn it on.
help me plzzzzzzzzzz
Hi!
can anyone help me!
i treied to root my x10 mini pro and something fail
Idont know what happen but i fowlloed the guid but i know that was my wrong i dont know what happend.
My x10 mini pro are breaked now when i try to turn it on it came just SONEY ERICSSON just it, itreied to uppdate by pc.companion but i could not uppdate it becuse the program didnot finde the device.
Can someone help me please.
Tanks!
That is common and you should be able to fix it. If all you did was try to root it, I'm not quite sure what failed. This happens sometimes if you try to put a new operating system (ROM) on the device but something goes wrong.
And PC companion doesn't detect your device?
If not...there is another Sony Ericsson program called SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Companion). Use that instead and tell it to repair your phone. To do so, you connect your phone to the PC, press the power button at the top of the phone AND the middle (menu) button on the front together...then your phone resets. If you have SEUS ready, it will connect your phone, your phone won't boot, SEUS will repair it. The light at the top of the phone will be green if this is working correctly.
Hi, i just bought bricked x10 mini for 20 bucks. I has no sign of life, no led indicator, etc. It's not detected by seus. I also disassembly it to check physical damage( i didn't find any damages).
Phone just won't turn on. Lets check if 2hours charging is working for my case.
Yes, try the charging thing. Sony Ericsson told me to do this by email. I had no idea that smartphones worked like that, but yes. It could have life but not show for 2 hours of charging. (They said DON'T try to turn on the phone while it's trying to charge in this case).
If none of that works then try more extreme methods, like the one I mention with the white cable.
Good luck!
still no luck with charging solution. actualy i've disassembly it so practically i have done your solution. i will go check more deeper about the problem. the worst case is IC failure.
Thank you for the tip phoneyericsson!
I didn't find it hard to do -- I pulled off the ruber thing with a nail, and tweaked out the plug with some small scissors.
I was stuck at the SE logo, and couldn't turn of my phone or enter CWR. I wanted to set it back to standard using SEUS. Instead of using the method mentioned in option 2 here, I simply pulled the white plug to the battery, which turned of the phone. Then I inserted it again and the phone stayed off. Then I simply did as SEUS asked, and now I'm back running, ready to get CMmini on my device again!
That's great to hear! ^^
Hi,
My x10 mini pro started to act "funny" (restarting and shutting down by it self) so I found this forum. Kept reading a lot of posts for 6h until I decided to try flashing it with a costum rom to fix it.
Flashed via flashtool the Sony Style's 1.1 by paul-xxx; it worked for a while, then shut down again. But this time, with flashing red light (3 times, with hard-reset [home+power button] when trying to turn on and a looping red light (every 3~4 seconds) when trying to get to flash mode.
After some time, it vanished from existence and was presumed dead. No lights, nothing at all. Send to repair, they couldn't fix it, but they restored the lights (red loop again).
So, now it got dead again. I have two batteries, both charged, but still nothing.
I really don't know what to do. I thought it was HW damage, but the repair guy said it was software corruption.
So, any light on my head ? :/

If You're still able to enter into flash mode, try the SEUS restore.

No flash mode. That's my curse ç.ç
If I could just get it up, SEUS is waiting for it.

Dont know if it can help. .but give it a try with a new connecting wire.. maybe the connecting wire/port is damaged.. because it was the same with one of my friends.. he replaced with a new battery n a cord n it got fixed.. give it a try.. till then will search for u.. if found will post back..
Used a new one, from my girlfriend's 2011 mini pro, bought a new battery and fully charged on another phone. Still, no flash mode.
I would say that the port of the phone is out, but the repair guy used it with no problems... as he said.
The phone was hers, but she bought a new one. once this turned into a brick.
If I fix it, is mine... but, maybe there is no solution... :/
Just confirmed: Battery isn't the issue here. Recharged them to 100% and still the phone won't give a single sign of life.
Apparently, I'm doomed. I don't have money to buy fixing boxes and cables, but it really pains me out.
I already downloaded all the cooking material to start working on it, but... I guess it's dead.
As I searched, x10 mini pro doesn't have a test point, but a cable set up in the back board. But I couldn't find the schematics, just boxes... that will cost me a LOT.
I'll be watching the thread and test new options you guys give me... but that's all.
Sorry to bother you all with this issue..
Red light blinking again. 3 with home+power and constant bliking red connected to PC or trying flash mode. I'm confused now >_>

Phone isn't detected.
EDIT: It doesn't respond with or without flash mode. But when I disconnect it from the cable, he blinks a red light 3 times in sequence. Same with home+power.

You've also installed the Gordons Gate drivers before doing Your tests?
from the flashtool folder install <flashtool folder>\drivers\gg-????.exe
Then reboot pc and re-try...
Yep. GG-setup.exe installed. Restarted.
Phone looks "dead". But it blinks red lights without the charger / cable usb.
Odd.
EDIT: Left charging on the wall with red blinking light. Dead again. No sign of life whatsoever.
Update:
Noticed that it "ignores" my attempts on the screen buttons. Back and home = same reaction... as if I wasn't pressing them.
I'm thinking that I've got hardware problems... or some HARD software issues. =/

Just take off your phone battery for about 2 hours to let it completely 'dead' aka enter off phone mode,after that try to insert battery back and charge your phone...if there is no LED,then your charger/USB connector/battery got something wrong with it...
