Hello All,
I have a xperia x10 mini pro u20i device and have been trying to flash it using the tutorials on this site.While doing this I tried to unlock the bootloader which caused the simlock to get active.I tried searching for many days and tried various techniques to get this rectified but didnt result in success instead now I am unable to even get into the flash mode by holding the back button and connecting the USB.
I badly need your help guys.Any kind of help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Amit Mirchandani

You need to relock the bootloader, but in order to do that you need flashmode
It goes as follows:
If you are NOT on stock firmware, start pc companion
choose update with your phone disconnected from your pc
it will give you a repair option
choose that, select your phone model from the list and wait until it pops up the dialog telling you to connect your phone in flashmode.
Connect your phone with the usb-cable
press home and power-buttons at the same time so you get a hard reboot.
As soon as the screen goes black, release those two buttons and press the back-button, it should enter flash-mode.
If it doesn't work the first time, keep trying this method until the dialog disappears and it starts flashing.
After that, open S1Tool and press the restore-button, it will relock your bootloader and your phone should be in good working order again, hopefully.
Thanks for the reply SmG67
Thanks for the reply SmG67 but I still cannot get through to the flash mode. Adding to my original post I would like to say that I can access the xrecovery screen and also have my phone rooted having installed super user but I cannot get the flashing green light to appear no matter how much I try.I am still trying the method SmG67 has suggested till any other replies appear.
Thanks

that might work, although that link is from the Experia Arc forum, if you search in this (x10mini) forum you will find other tools to do that too.
It won't help you at all with flashmode though, because that is a hardware feature that should work, regardless what software you use.

I don't know if it helps but I had a similar problem and now, to get in the flashmode, intead of the back key, I need to press the power and the home button (middle one) and wait for the green led.
Still no luck

Thanks for the reply just4lists but I am still out of luck with this issue.I guess there has been some issue with the hardware may be the chip on the device.Also if there is any solution to remove the simlock please let me know so that I can use whatever is left of the cell.
Thanks

I brick my phone x10 mini and it's now stuck in SE white written name. I searched in forum and I found few solutions. I try flash tool and we succeeded to re-flash , but still not working. There has been no change, the phone remains stuck . (sorry for my english , but I don't speak very good english)
TNX in advanced !
Install SEUS on your PC/Laptop.
Switch off your phone and hold the back key whilst you insert your usb cable, the SEUS should reckognise your phone after you have accepted their T&C's and ready to reflash... It should work..
Warning: You will lose all your data what is stored on your phone memory.
tnx very much. work perfect !

Taking out the battery will put it off
In defense of the noobs around here i can't find the repair button n'or does SEUS give me the Install Anyway option. Have the latest SEUS and now i'm trying an older one hope it works, but for precaution can anybody post a link to an alternative flashing tool ? Much appreciated.
Hi to everyone!
I bought my x10i few days ago and I wanted to install some good custom ROM, and than I tried to root it with this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907
After troubling for few hours to get to the first step because of Win 7 x64,
when I finaly manage to get run first step and finish it, phone was unable to boot!
When I press pwrbtn to turn it on, green led turns on for a second and phone vibrate for a second blank screen is all the time, after maybe 30 seconds phone just stats to vibrate endlessly!
So in attempt to recover my x10, first I was used FlashTOOL and "Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.0.2.A.0.24" firmware and after that same thing on beginning with short led light and vibrate, than a little progress screen does turn on but after while starts to changing colors and behave like strobe flashlight and that's it no further progress!
Same thing and with "Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.0.A.0.504" firmware!
I don't know what to do please help me!
Me first....
Move this to the correct forum please,
I am sure you will get more help in the q&a forum
PS, you need to run flashtool
or download SEUS or pc companion and get back to stock before trying again

gregbradley thank you for quick reply!
As maybe you can see I'm novice here, so I don't know how to move this to q&a forum!
As I already post in previous post I'w already tried to flash stock rom using FlashTool and no luck to me!
And I tried SEUS to update it and I got a message " Your phone is already up to date"
I really don't know what to do now, I'm running out of options!
me second ... ( sarcasm ) {
no f***ing clue why would you flash with oldest fw Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.0.2.A.0.24 when flashtool can root even the latest one.
did you notice that button "root" in flashtool 2.9.x.x here is tutorial in my version:
1. you enable debug mode. last time i used it it was somewhere in settings menu ...
2. see that pointer on your screen that is called mouse you move that with that small device on desk.. right on top of that button.. and you click action button if you are right handed you click right button on that small device and if you are left handed you click left button on that small device. some text will show on flashtool and after few secs it will reboot your device. no worry it is normal no need to call 911. after boot device will be rooted.
}
p.s.
flash latest fw you can find it on xda with flash tool
and do root again using method mentioned before...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Here is flashtool with different firmwares.
Read A little, you can always go back to stock.
Try and learn
I was struggling to in the beginning.
Remember to turn always enable debug mode on.
Chumby_666
thanks for so much detailed response but don't you think it's a little to much details?
Yes I know that flashtool can root the phone, but it was already to late whe I was find out, I was already brick the phone so I can't turn it on now!
davelinders
I'w already tried all those firmwares for X10i and no luck! I'm hopeless now!
When you use SEUS you should get an update button or repair button or install button anyway.
If not download the latest version of pc companion from SE and try that.
Whenever i "brick" my phone (You cant really brick an x10) I always do that and even when I have "latest" software there is an option to install anyway and that works...
Then use flashtool
1. click root
2. let it do its thing
3. click ask root permissions
4. click on xrecovery.
Then you are ready to go.

[Q] [Really Need Help] Xperia Neo would not start, only shows "sony ericsson" :(
Hi guys, I am new to this forum and a new smartphone user.
Last night I was updating my phone through PC companion, but the software dies half way for some unknown reason. Since then I could not turn on my phone.. It will only vibrates, shows "Sony Ericsson", and then an image of yellow triangle with an exclamation mark shows up, then it is turned off again. I tried charging, restarting my pc companion software to try to update my phone, but none of them work.
I saw some threads here and it seems that there are possible solutions, but because the terminology is quite strange to me I could not fully understand what I have to do What is a flashtool and SEUS? I tried to search them up on the net but the downloads seem to be unavailable?? I must be missing something here.
If anyone can help me with simple terminology I will really really appreciate it.. Thanks a lot!
Your phone's boot loader unlocked or not & if yes what method?(s1tool,official SE or setool2 paid) ? Here's a good tutorial about flashtool.

Hi,
This is my suggestion:
first download FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358
Follow instructions (if u familiar with updating with sony ericsson pc companion, this u can do)
Simple, start FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick, click flash. Choose loader.sin on the right. Then click OK,
Turn of phone, hold in back button while connect phone with usb cable.
See its flashing, wait til its done, unplug phone,. try to boot up phone.
I am also a newbie, but this worked for me
pls give me a link to download SEUS, for xperia neo pls. pls help I am having the same problem pls help,

Anyway @lilbunnyf if your phones boot loader is unlocked using s1tool method do not use seus or pc companion.As I read in forum this can brick your phone.Try flashtool.If you got a locked boot loader or patched one with setool2 then you can use pc companion(this thing saved my phone like 5-6 times now after kinda bricking it with roms kudos se for this xD)

i've tried using flashtool to reflash to stock but i cant get my phone connected... it seems i cant go to fastboot mode...
I managed to get stuck in a boot loop today. I have a locked bootloader and SEUS did the job, so I guess that is the best solution for the problem mentioned by OP.

Since you unlock it via s1tool, you should still be able to use SEUS.
Anw, why fastboot mode? Have you tried to connect it in flashmode?

3) Click on the Lighting Symbol and Select Flashmode and click OK.
4) Select Appropriate Firmware and Tick Wipe User Data and Wipe Cache check box if visible and click OK. If visible click even exclude TA
PS: The appropriate firmware is a stock firmware for your device. For example the GB rom you downloaded for the downgrade and already placed in the flashtool/firmwares folder

can you please explain it, step by step,
because im a newbie, i just studied this rooting and custom ROM things in two days
i think its not enuf huh.
thanks for the suggestion
Download mode can be achieved by first
power off your device
Try a combo of power and one of the volume buttons
When the buttons light up keep holding till you see a yellow triangle
From there plug into your PC
Then attempt to "flash" back to a working ROM with your PC
For my device(s) download mode is found by using the #1 button on the hard keyboard and the power button at the same time (epic 4G) and for my (my touch 3G) other device it can be found by pressing volume up and the power button.
For your device try the following Google search, just replace the bit between the "<>" with the name of your device and it should pull up a solution by page two of the Google search
"how to"+"download mode"+<name-of-device> similar:XDA
oh and the issue you're having is called a "boot loop" and is usually fixable by going back to stock and re-rooting after.

what the above poster saying is applicable to samsung phone... no yellow warning sign on sony phone.... what we call is flash mode.. power button+volume down.. but as ur xperia is older model it could be a power+back button... check whether ur phone is compatible with flash tool by Androxyde and Bin4ry... search and you need ur phones firmware as ftf format....

sad to say but it does not boot to recovery or anything,
it just shows the sony logo over and over again
i downloaded the flashtool, already in my pc
currently downloading the ftf files- i guess this is the "stock" build, or ROM
a while ago i tried it with the flashtool but
the flashtool says device disconected everytime the SONY logo disappears
is there any possibility that my phone will be back?
thank you
AND another thing!!
i installed the CWM with my BootLoader Locked
Next time post in your device section and if its a question in Q &A section...

its appears to be a soft brick.... i havent seen/used Xperia Neo b4.. just looked @ pic.. i think 4 ur device it will be power +back button for flash mode and soft reset.... check ur device forum for more details... if i'm correct... press and hold power button +back button until u get one vibrate and let go.. then flash the ftf using flash tool.. usually ftf file are of stock firmware

thank you, but sadly again it doesnt boot
i guess i lost my ROM and drivers
PC companion cant even detenct my device, even the flashtool too.
it just charging when i connect it to my PC
and has this battery image with a single blue bar, no animation whatsoever
do you recommend sending it to the SONY service centers??
i did this things only this time because the one year warranty already expired
thank you again, for your help
just a theory
i think my problem here is that, i lost my ROM together with the usb driver
because even flashtool cant detect/read it.

Hi, Do not panic. I faced a similar problem today, and the best solution for it is using FLASHTOOL to flash the stock .ftf firmware.
From the sticky threads, download the stock ICS firmware for the phone. Also read up on how to use the flashtool.
Try and follow the solution given in the below thread, hit THANKS if it helps!
