Hi I'm having problems flashing my phone and also unlocking the bootloader, but that's another problem that is unsolved....here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27881610#post27881610 (any help on this would be much appreciated)
When I attempt to flash the phone i drop the ftf file in, it prepares the files, a window prompts me to to unplug the phone, power it off then connect it into fastboot, which as you can see happens below. But the window that prompts me to do all this just stays there and I get no further with he process, I must be doing something wrong or have something set up wrong. Any ideas

Hello everyone, I am using sony ericsson x10 mini mobile phone. I want to install custom ROM cyanogen 7 gingerbread. But I am facing problem while booting this in recovery mode. I have tried the following.
downloaded custom rom for xperia mini and copied in to sdcard
installed ROM Manager Premium (not purchased, downloaded from google search and it is working fine)
installed root explorer
S1 tool
Rooted from superoneclick
downloaded xRecovery and copied into system folder
Flash tool - showing bootloader unlocked, and dont know how to flash phone.
msm7227 - used for unlock boot loader
I have rooted my phone successfully, all above things did successfully, when i am trying to boot my phone into recovery mode then it is not boot in that mode instead it boots in normal mode. What I am doing when phone starts and sonyericcson appears then i continuously pushing button many times but it boots in normal mode. So what I have to do to boot my phone in recovery mode. I have read and tried many guides in your forum but nothing works. Please help me.
Use FlashTool to flash a custom kernel (many cKernels haves recovery included, like nAa kernel). Follow these steps:
Download the ftf file of the kernel.
Drag it into the Flashtool window.
Another window will appear, then power off your phone and connect it to USB with the Back button pressed.
The flashing process takes less than 5 seconds, disconnect your phone when Flashtool says "Flashing Finished".
All right, now you can enter to recovery
Note: If you don't want a custom kernel, you lost your time unlocking the bootloader
I have tried to flash my x10 mini, like I have downloaded the flash file .ftf and with help of FlashTool_0.2.5 done flash my phone. Now flashing displayed some error and after 10 - 15 seconds I disconnected my phone but now phone is turning on. So I want to know what should i do and can I able to turn on my phone again. Please help me .
EDIT
Phone is stuck in boot loop at just before sony ericcson LOGO appears
when i attach it to pc to flash it displays

Hmm... I think you're not connecting your phone correctly, FlashTool should say "Device connected in flash mode" when you connect it correctly.
Are you sure that you're following the steps that I mentioned before?
Hi, you were right, i was not connecting my phone correctly in flash because battery connector was not connected properly. That's why my phone was booting. Now I have restored my phone in stock ROM which is downloaded from website. But the problem is I am unable to install custom ROM on my phone. On my phone android 2.1 has installed when I am flashing with new kernel ( E10_nAa-11_2.6.29.6-nAa-11 ) then it stuck into boot loop at sony ericsson animated logo. That's why I have to again flash it with stock ROM to make its working. I think this kernel is not compatible with android 2.1. I want to know is there any other way to install custom ROM on this phone means with the help of Flash Tool like installing stock ROM. If yes, them please provide me cyanogen 7 firmware stable version. Thank you...
Yes, you're right, custom kernels are not compatible with Sony stock ROM.
I recommend you MiniCM ROM, to install it follow the next steps:
Download nAa kernel, MiniCM zip file and GApps zip file. Copy the zip files into your SD.
Flash nAa kernel.
Enter to the recovery (pressing several times Back button when nAa kernel logo appear).
Go to full wipe/factory reset option. Wait for the process to finish.
Now, got to install zip from SD card option. Seek for the MiniCM zip file that you copied before.
Wait for the process to finish. Go to the same option, selecting now the GApps zip. Wait again. The recovery options will appear once again, go to Reboot now option and wait (the first boot will take a while)
You will lose all your app data when you make a full wipe, so you should consider to make a backup (Titanuim backup i.e.) if you don't want to lose all that.
I you still having troubles, send me a PM
I try to root my xperia mini pro sk17i by using flashtool
it was never successful and stop at 73% by showing "end flash session"
then, i just cant turn on my phone any more
what can i do??
Try different version of flashtool. Check if your ftf file is okay or not. Did you check USB debugging and unknown sources?
My USB debugging and unknown sources are check
and I've try five different kind of firmware
some stop a 1% some 2% the further progess was 73%
but all it show that "end flash session" and i cant turn on my phone

If everything fails, use Wotanserver. I restored my bricked Active this way.
Try connecting the phone until the animation of connecting phone appears, it worked for me when that happened
We have 4 method to flash the device :
1. Update service
2. PC Companion
3. Flashtool
4. Wotan server
If none of them succed, then it's look like your internal memory got some bad block.
If you have unlocked or patched bootloader, you can check it using fastboot command :
fastboot erase [partition]
Replace [partition] with cache,userdata or system

Repair your X10 via SEUS PC Companion if you tried to / or have unlock(ed) your Bootloader.
If you haven't, unlock your Bootloader using one of the tutorials.
But i'd recommend checking if you can unlock with s1tool first.

answers that helped solve related!
If you didn't already have your bootloader unlocked and tools in place to reload the Android operating system (ie, ROMs or disk images), I strongly suspected you are completely screwed.
You can install an OS from scratch on your phone, but you need a specialized environment and tools to do so and those are often proprietary and/or secret. It is far easier to load a disk image (ROM) than do a base install. Either way, part of the process is an unlocked bootloader so that you can boot into an environment/tool instead of the existing OS. If you don't have a way to boot into something besides the installed system and have pooched that system - generally the only way you as a consumer have available to hack the bootloader - then you're up the creek. – Logos Apr 6 at 12:34
so basicly there saying if you did not unlock bootloader and a way of booting OTHER then the system itself ... you bricked it ..
if you cant flash
cant use recovery
whats left ?
If this hasnt bin solved another person had the exact same problem and got it fixed it seemed to be driver related (pc wise)
Only other info i can share is he used wotan to repair wich requires a fee ...

Hi - I hope you are having a good day.
My stock non-rooted xperia sola is stuck in a boot loop.
I have been reading forums for days. Have tried flashtool and also cwm.
Phone is totally standard - not even USB debug is turned on - unless this is the default.
On power up I get xperia logo and then Sony logo and then loops again forever.
Flashtool connects via my xp laptop but then has an error trying to flash.
Cwm does not find my device.
Any help much appreciated. I'm quite techno but not with phones ( yet)

I have also tried the obvious power + vol up button for restart and shutdown.

What windows version do you have?
Post a log for connecting with flash mode without flashing anything, just open flashtool and connect in flash mode.
Make sure you are using USB 2.0 ports, USB 3 won't work.
Bootloader locked?
Tried to flash in fastboot mode with flashtool?
Other way you can flash it is with adb commands, check this.
You have to use the kernel that your zip file has, obviously. It's in an .iso format.

Thanks - for the help but I managed last night to get it to work. I have XP SP3 & USB2.0 and I needed to go into to Safe Mode to connect the phone so that the drivers would load correctly.

First of all, I know, but I send that link because it's the same way to flash another Android device, with adb commands, if flashtool doesn't work, it's worth to try something else like adb commands? Yeah.
And second, sorry, didn't knew.

Next time you should use Sony's updater if something like a bootloop happens, it's much easier than using flashtool and installing drivers.
Sony Update Service or you can use Sony PC Companion too. It has a repair function.
hello everyone, i used the gpe port rom on my bell xzu everything was working fine until i updated "adaway" and it asked me to reboot. doing so leave me at the "google" logo
nothing is detected when plugged into computer
cant get into flashmode holding down & power
bootloader is locked.

Try these steps to get into flashmode so you can flash a FTF with flashtool:
Have flashtool setup and running with a c6833 FTF loaded and waiting for device
Connect ZU to PC
Hold the volume down key
While doing the above press the red reset button under in the SIM card flap
That should kick it into flash mode
