Does anybody has any idea that for how long Sony will support our X10 Mini or X10 Mini Pro for flashing 2.1 (via SEUS or PC Companion). I mean to say that for how long we will be able to get android 2.1 if we flash via SEUS or PC Companion. When is expected that sony will remove these phones from their list in SEUS or PC companion...??

No one knows but Sony. I can't see them pulling that option anytime soon, because it requires no work for them to keep it in, apart from hosting the firmwares on their servers, but in any case, you can make your own 'rescue' firmware to flash with flashtool if you want to have it available for eternity
There is a tutorial for that somewhere, i think in the General section of this forum.
@ SmG67
Hey, Thanks for your reply...!! Are you talking about the tutorial titled "How to make your regional firmware a .ftf file". If yes...then can you please tell me that flashing this output .ftf firmware via flashtool will give me stock android 2.1? What if my boot loader is unlocked. I fear it might brick my phone. Pleas give some suggestion...!!
Thanks in advance.

I have a prototype xperia x10
CU 1231-8595.1A
SI 1228-3735.2
Type: AAD-3880049-BV CB5
Not type approved 09W39
Prototype build:AP2
S/N: CB511ECSQ6 00440107-869319-5
Battery: BST-41
The phone is bircked (vibrated and green led but doesent boot) and i can not find the firmware and loader for it.
I`ve tried to flash 1.6 retail rom with flashtool and it doesent work, it gets stuck when it flashes the loader.
If somone could help upload the files it would be appreciated.
have you tried 2.1 generic firmware through flashtool? Or what about pc companion or seus??

Plugg it to the PC and start PC Companion (it must recognize it) Then search for UPDATE and then repair. That will fix you problem Same thing happened to me last week.
the phone is a prototype ( screw the guy on ebay who sold it) it get recognized in SEUS but it says that the device is up to date
You can re-install the firmware in seus. When it says that the device is up to date you press next and then it re-installs the firmware.
no next button.
try downloading SEUSpro and sign up pro might give you more options... You'll have to wait a few days for SE to send you your password for pro to work but all in all it's worth giving it a try.
Plus you get updates for your country before regular SEUS.Telling you cause i'm using it and it fixed my phone many times whereas regular SEUS couldn't
try using seus from another computer, maybe it works, i had once a problem like this with an old se phone and it worked
some help? somebody
Try seus without the phone connected, should say could not connect or no phone connected. Then try update and it should offer fix. Then follow instructions.

Also, I know some firmware downloads used to be missing the loader.sin. You have to find it and add it yourself. Look for it in another firmware, copy and paste into the firmware folder with the other sin files.
Maybe try to remove data files from SEUS dir (.\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\)

Re: hello
That firmware won't fix your phone. It's compiled for retail spec'd phones. If flashing 1.6 doesn't work then I can't help you, sorry.
Ok, if the flash tool isn't going to work, you need to get SEUS working properly. There should be a "repair software" option. However, for some reason unknown to me, the "repair software" option via SEUS or PC Companion does not appear sometimes for some people.
I have heard disabling anti virus and rebooting your computer works. Also, try uninstalling SEUS and download again from SE.
Abandoned.
Thank you for your replies.
hello pls you have repaired yours prototype phone? i have same problem how can i fix it? Very thanks
Hello, folks.
At first, sorry for my bad English.
I have an Xperia Neo V (MT11a), and I figured out that changing the build.prop file to make my phone "pretend" to be a MT11i would make my phone able to play some HD games. And yeah, it works. But I am having some issues on some games (specially Modern Combat 3) that I suspect that should end by upgrading my firmware.
So, as I am seeing now by reading the forum threads, it seems that my firmware version is quite old (4.0.1.A.0.283, running Android 2.3.4).
I really searched the forum about how to upgrade my firmware, but all threads I faced stated that having the 4.0.2.A.0.42 is a primary requirement; I didn't find a thread about upgrading from 4.0.1.A.0.283 to a newer one.
So, how can I upgrade my firmware? Because, here in Brazil, PC Companion always reports that my phone is up to date (but we know that it is not!).
Waiting for an answer, and thanks in advance.
Sir search for sony ericsson update service application for your pc..
(can't post URL cause i'm using only my phone)
Use it if pc companion are not working..
If i helped tou!! Pls press thanks button..)))

Then use the link down to download 0.42 ftf file and flash with flashtool,backup everything like contacts,apps,sms etc... before flashing as you will loose everything in the phone and after the flash it will be like brand new from the factory.

If pc companion is telling him that he have latest fw, will seus tell something different? I think those 2 are using same database

I agree, it's the same situation in Croatia, the updates come a bit later so you will have to flash it manually. I tried both and got no updates for .62 i think.
Actually...the newbies(i wont use noobies...it sounds kinda offensive) are a bit scared to tinker upon their new phones...they do search...but rely upon the seniors for assurance...but it is a boring task to answer again and again same type of queries.

You can always click repair in seus and abort repair after seus downloads the firmware and you can create a ftf from the downloaded firmware files.

I'm from Germany, too and you can use any ftf for your device and it'll work great. Just use maybe the generic world...
Otherwise do it with seus and build the downloaded files to an ftf like gouthamthemostwanted said

No, it will download current firmware if you hit repair and not update.

my current firmware is a Custom Firmware ICS with xperia NXT launcher... i dont belive that this will be reperable by SUS
hm... ill try with wine
Maybe mihahn can help. PM mihahn. He is from Germany so he can get you German firmware through seus. Moreover you don't always get the latest firmware from seus, if you have gingerbread in your device and hit repair in seus, it will ONLY DOWNLOAD THE GINGERBREAD FIRMWARE.

Okay you are right if you are on ics this is a problem. Maybe ask on android-hilfe.de if anybody could download the firmware for you, because I'm on jelly bean and so I can't upload it for you
Just tried with wine but it looks like the latest version isn't working with wine, so that's a problem. Maybe ask if somebody from android-hilfe.de could upload it for you

Hello all,
First i would like to thank FeraLab for the great ICS V4 ROM work.
I am relatively new to flashing/etc but with some careful reading, i managed to install it on my X10i after unlocking the bootloader.
I've played with ICS v4 for some weeks and i did not find any major problems in any aspect / function of phone (data,wifi,camera,battery, apps, etc).
However, i've decided to go back to the Stock 2.3.3 ROM, and after looking quite enough (search) in the forum i could not find anyone who went back to 2.3.3 stock from ICS V4 with unlocked bootloader. I've looked in the whole ICS V4 thread for this and searching the entire forum.
I could not post a reply in the ICS thread since i have never made any post so far. (i always prefer not to ask anyone before i read enough)
But, in this case, if it is not too much to ask, could you kindly point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Eros
We can use PC Companion or SEUS to refert to stock, and.... no need to relock the bootloader.

Actually, that was the 1st thing i tried (companion) but for some reason it does not work. It does detect the phone but the
option "repair" phone does not even come up. It only detects it and then reports PC companion needs to be updated
and redirects to the SE website for downloading new SW (which still does not work).
Any ideas? I cannot tell if this issue is due to Unlocked Bootloader or the FeraKernel.
Thanks,
Eros

I've got all files for FlashTool use (and know what to do if it comes to that).
I just wanted to make sure of what i do next - avoid brick.
If FlashTool is the way to go, then i guess there is no choice.

This is original 2.1 firmware for use with flashtool. Copy it to the flashtoolfirmwares folder and you can then flash it to your phone.
While you're in the firmware folder, delete the x10blrelock.ftf, if you select that by accident you will destroy your phone.
Is there a need of unlocked bootloader of my x10 mini ? i mean when use flashtool …

Not if you flash the original SE kernel with the original bootloader code, which are included in the ftf.

Does flashtool detect your device properly?
In that case, only put it in flashmode when the program asks for it (the big popup showing you how to do that). Otherwise the phone will just boot up and start charging Mind you, i don't have Windows 8 so i'm not sure how flashtool works with that,
