Hi everbody
I tried to install this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707876 but when I finish the instalation, the phone just bricked at the sony ericsson logo. I realy need help. :crying:
Sorry for my English.
Is your bootloader unlocked? Did you install the recommended kernel? Did you wipe what had been asked to be wiped in the thread? Did you wait for at least a few minutes before concluding that your device is bricked? Did you attempt to enter CWM and try to restore a backup? Did you try to boot into CWM and install another ROM which had previously worked for you?
All those things needs to be done before you can call your device a brick. It is no where near to brick I suppose.
Anyways, if nothing works, try to flash any official firmware for your device using flashtool.
Also, check the First Aid thread that had been pinned up in this forum.
Thanks,
Rick

it happens to me if ur phone can go to flashmode... then u can always flash the original .ftf files for mango... or u can also use wotan client... it also hapens to me when i acidentaly flash wrong kernel...
i hope this gives u any idea....
Don't worry It's not bricked, it just wont load the OS (ROM). If you have locked bootloader, then flash official firmware through PC Companion (SEUS), if you have an unlocked bootloader then flash the official firmware (ROM) through Flashtool which you can find here, and you need to download appropriate ROM for your device which you can find here. Hope I helped.

If you can enter flash mode, then use flash tool.
Unlock bootloader, install custom kernel, install the ROM once again and you're done.
No need to install stock ROM first, if your target is installing the custom ROM.
SOLVED
I want to tank you all for your tips, you all been helpfull.
I used the Pc companion and put my mini pro with the orignal rom again.
Thank you all one more time :good:

Please flash the unbricking ftf (link was posted by xhanafix) and afterwards the stock rom ftf again.
And NEVER EVER apply updates over the air again! Flash them with flashtool or use custom roms!

I just rooted my phone using this method, which has been succesful for me earlier.
Everything went fine, and I didn't do anything except for what stated in the post, but when I tried to startup the phone, it gets stuck at the SE logo. Not the text logo, but the logo after the colorfull animation and with the picture logo above of it.
I removed the battery after waiting 10 minutes and I tried again, with the same 'result' (or failure as you wish).
And, yes, I have used the Neo file, not the Arc's. My Neo was running on the latest 4.0.xxxx firmware before rooting.
Should I try:
reflash ROM?
relock bootloader?
flash another ROM
????
Edit:
When charging, the phone also won't get past the green logo, and the LED is not on.
Edit²:
Fastboot mode working, so flashmode if necessary also I guess.
Now retrying from the neo_modded.img
Edit³:
Didn't work, now reflashing stock 2.3.2
Reflash 2.3.2, root with Gingerbreak and update OTA to last 2.3.3
FIXED
now on stock 2.3.2
But, this is XDA, so let's try to flash a pre rooted ROM I just finished downloading.
Hello,
With an unlocked bootlaoder you can flash the 2.3.3 firmware, then install DooMKernel from recovery . That seems Root, Recovery and an Overclock option with the latest stock rom
Phone is working, now checking if rooted.
It was quite easy actually:
flash generic 2.3.3 with flashtool
turn on USB debugging and select device Xperia X10 in the flashtool
in the top menu, click root psneuter
turn phone of, and flash relock bootloader Xperia
update your phone to 2.3.3 using PC companion or SEUS
Hmmm, sure this worked for me once, phone now won't get past a black screen witch lit background, flashmode working. I'll retry.
Fixed, but phone not rooted. I'll leave it this way, non-rooted.
Unlock bootloader. Flash 2.3.4. Flash rootxperia and u got the latest with root. No overclock yet for 2.3.4 but it's all good.

Which firmware version?
Best is to reflash everything and wipe your phone during the process.
Download the X10 flashtool.
I'd recommend this method (only if you have an unlocked bootloader) it's very easy.
here are some additional instructions considering flashtool

Hello All
This is a guide to install the latest version of Android 2.3.4 - MT15i 4.0.1.A.0.283 Global on your NEO and install root access.

1. Backup your data. (Just in case!)
2. Download the FTF file from here:

Good luck!
I don't know what firmware, i just know that it's a MT15a...
Which firmware should i use?
I just flashed with the latest 2.3.4 firmware and it's working.
Now i would like to know what tutorial to follow to root my phone with this firmware and don't brick it.
Also, I unlocked bootloader before i flashed, so i don't know, it's still unlocked?

yes, it should be still unlocked.
One : since you unlocked your bootloader, some music add-ons in the stock player won't work anymore, same for TrackID. Replacement for TrackID is Shazam.
Two : DO NOT accept over the air updates, only update using PC companion or Update service on your pc, else your phone will be unusable.
So, here's how to root 2.3.4. It's very easy if you know how to flash.
All your data will be saved, but best is to make a backup just for sure.
Note: just copy the zip to your sd card (when I tried it first, I unzipped it. Had no experience with clockworkmod)
Good luck!
I'm having the same problem. I'm on 2.3.3, unlocked the bootloader, and then flashed rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281489. What should I do?

Try to flash 4.0.2 using flashtool or SEUS
via Sony Ericsson Xperia
I have a rooted SE wt19i with CWM recovery installed and yesterday I wiped all the data, cache and system files to install Minimul Triumph ROM.
When I rebooted my phone it was stucked at the First Sony Ericsson screen and didnt boot into recovery. I have a Backup On My SD.
Please Help
have you tried flashing back to the original firmware using flashtool?
Yes i DId try but it doesnt even go to flash mode
Edit:I finally managed to go to flash mode. I flashed the firmware succesfully thanks kevin
First, I cannot find that kind of ROM for WT19i, could be wrong ROM to install. You can only install ROMs, that are built for your phone.
Second, you must have custom kernel to boot into custom ROM. Stock kernel only works with stock ROM. First install custom kernel(there's plenty of them in Development section, like X Kernel, Rage Kernel, bbooff's kernel etc) and then via CWM install custom ROM(install from sdcard).
Most custom kernels include CWM.
Please help me

2- how i reboot in cwm ?? plz helpppppppppp
What file do you want to download and from where?
Install CWM, turn off phone, then turn it on and when the Sony or Sony Ericsson logo appears, press volume down many times, until a menu appears.
Just simply update your phone using SEUS (SonyEricsson Update Service). Just download it and follow the steps.
Its always work to update.
Don't forget, if it's help, simply click Thanks too :beer::beer:

For 2nd questions, you need to root your phone. Do you ever heard about how to root sk17i?
If you have rooted your phone, just download CWM installer from market, install it, open, and install clockworld mode. After you installed it, theres a menu to reboot your phone into cwm mode.
Feel free to ask more if you find difficulties.

If I have got you right, after you installing the custom ROM, without flashing the necessary kernel and without unlocking bootloader, (which is totally wrong) your phone gets stuck on the SONY logo screen right?
The solution now is to, calm down first, read the posts made here properly(I say this because you were told to unlock bootloader and to flash the necessary kernel before installing the custom ROM by a XDA member on this thread itself, but you did none of those) turn off your phone, and use flashtool to do a full flash of your phone.
Download the .ftf of your phone, ICS or GB, whichever, then flash your phone using that ,ftf file via flashtool, then follow the tutorials available here on XDA to root your phone (The tutorials differ for ICS and GB), root your phone, start it, download and install 'Xperia CWM auto installer' from the market, then install CWM using this app.
Then unlock your bootloader using the various methods available but be aware of the warranty issues involved.
Then flash the necessary kernel on your phone, there's a tutorial for this too on XDA, then start your phone, when the SONY logo brightens keep pressing the volume down key repeatedly and you will enter CWM.
Then follow the instructions on the thread from where you have downloaded the ROM you want to install and then reboot.
Voila.. you are on custom ROM of your choice my friend..
I have tried to make this as simple as possible, but if you still need more help, feel free to ask.
NOTE: Do not flash custom kernels without unlocking bootloader.

if u want to update your device using seus u have to first relock your boot loader if u unlocked it before or u can also flash stock rom using flash tool (no relock required in flashtool software) if u want to install custom rom first flash custom kernel you will see the suggestion when u r downloading custom rom from the thread and after flashing kernel go into cwm and do factory reset + cache wipe. after that install zip from sd car (rom zip)

OK so I was really sleepy last night .. and I rooted and flashed cwm recovery 6.0 into my xperia mini. I didnt take a backup cause I was experienced on installing custom roms on my other phones.. and I downloaded Resurrection Remix Rom for my phone. Thinking it would work only by flashing it through CWM would work cause it used to work on my other phone.. I flashed it. But during flashing It failed and said device error. Keep in mind I didnt unlock my bootloader and nor do I have any experience about fastboot :/ . After that its stuck at Sony Logo.. and now in the morning when i was about to flash ZellyCream 6, I discovered that now CWM is not opening. I tried using Update Service and when I looked at it, It didnt have Xperia Mini -_- . Now what to do ?
Xperia Firmware .587
Also The Flashtool seems to have just disappeared from thier site, nor Can i find it on here .. If anyone can maybe upload the flashtool and a stock rom maybe I can recover it ? :/

I think the ROM you were trying to install requires unlocked bootloader.. You probably need to go through the Sony's unlocking bootloader tutorial... And clean up the /system and /data via fastboot command from cmd itself... Then clean install any ROM
