Hey Guys .
I'm Not a Noob In Android But This Low - End Devices Just Are So Confusing.
I've Got a Xperia Mini Pro ( With Keyboard ) . and I Rooted It and Installed X - Parts http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437840
and Flashed This ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739569&page=2 .
After Flashing , Now I Can't Enter Recovery ( I Press The Buttons at The Sony Ericsson Logo , No Luck )
The Screen Goes Blank After The Logo and I Can't Do Anything.
Do You Suggest Anything?
( Boot Loader Locked , I Selected The Lock Option In AROMA )
Thanks In advance.
Can you get into recovery mode?
1)Take out the battery of your phone, wait for a few minutes, put it back again.
2) Then hold down the volume key, and plug in the usb cable (connected to your computer)
Does the LED light flash green? If it does, you can flash the official firmware back into your phone and get it working again.
if you have bootloader locked, that would mean that recovery would also be removed, you should have installed the postInstallCWM which can be found here in the forums. i suggest that you reflash stockROM and root then install CWM again. you should have read the forums about custom roms and locked bootloaders
Try this for recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774119
and this for flashing ROM on locked bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832255
Use the power button not the volume down

How to install stock ROM via SEUS??? Do u have any link or tutorial video?
Just download it from official SE site and then select Your phone and click on upgrade, after that select reapir. You can do the same with PC Companion by selecting repair.
Here is a small tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcBRZ9ApfJA

I met the same trouble as yours. My Xperia X10A stucks at Sony Ericsson screen after installing MIUI ROM.... I did everything above guy said but still could not boot into xRecovery or boot loader (Back + Power, Volume Down + Power, Left + Right + Power, Volume Up + Down + Power... all did not work). Using SE Companion did not help too (it did not recognize my phone)
After costing me almost a day to find a solution, finally I found out a way to recover it
Just download FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec & a generic ROM in .ftf (not .zip) e.g: x10a_2.1update1_r2.1.a.0.435_generic.ftf (you can google to download both) and place that generic ROM in FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec/firmwares folder and open X10FlashTool application and hit the button Flash and choose that ROM... tada your bricked phone is back!
P.S you can use that flashtool to root and install xRecovery on your Xperia

With battery of course, although sometimes you have to pull battery out to 'power off' your device, but remember to put it back.
it doesn't work...maybe x10i....

it should works with both X10a & X10i... if it doesn't work, maybe PC lack of driver. Try to install ggsetup-2.2.0.10 & X10_ADB_drivers in /drivers folder first b4 you flash your phone
Or just instal SE Companion Sony_Ericsson_PC_Companion_2.02.015_Web (pls google to download) to get drivers on you PC before using FlashTool...

Restore stock firmware with Flashtool, as WotanServer is no longer free. You can find stock firmware files from the forum, my tutorial for example(check in signature).
To use Hybrom ROM, you need to unlock bootloader, then install custom kernel and then install the ROM.
The kernel probably already includes Clockworkmod Recovery, so you don't have to install it. Just enter the recovery after kernel installation, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and Dalvik cache and then install the ROM.
Thanx a hell lot
I got my phone recovered
Rerooted busy box installed
N tried installin cyanogen 7.1
Some error again :-(
Did is properly
Tried installin cyanogen on x8 long back
Without unlockin boot loader
Worked extremely wel
But here, not happenin :-(
It's very unlikely the ROM you're trying to install requires only the stock kernel, have you double checked the thread to make sure an unlocked bootloader isn't required?
All 2011 Xperia custom ROMs require custom kernel and unlocked bootloader.
Only Xperia UXP NXT ROM can run on stock kernel, every other ROM you must unlock bootloader and install custom kernel.

Bootloader unlock voids warranty. Official method also removes DRM keys.
Installing custom ROM removes all your data.

Yes, if you use the official unlock method you'll permanently lose DRM keys (which will stop things such as TrackID working).
The s1tool method retains these keys.

Only the original TrackID stops working, if you install from Market, it will work.
So far I have had no problems with losing DRM keys.

Turn off phone, hold down Volume UP, connect USB Cable, then your phone is in fastboot mode, blue LED lights up. The screen stays turned off, nothing will appear there. You are now able to install kernels via fastboot. To exit this, just disconnect the cable.
The same thing, but with Volume DOWN button and your phone is in flashmode, then you can install stock firmware back via Flashtool or SMUS(Sony Mobile Update Service).
To enter Recovery, turn on your phone in regular way, and when screen turns brighter(on some custom kernels, also LED turns on), click Volume DOWN button many times until the Recovery menu appears.

ignore this msg. just put the email notification on
Btw this Forum is for xperia Mini (pro) (sk17i) and Not for x10 Mini pro (u20i?). But:
When you try to enter cwm, what Do you mean with Start and hold volume +/-? You nedd to press it again and again, then you get in cwm. If that doesn't work Flash stock Firmware back.

Hi,
Here is my problem.
I have Xperia x10 mini/ yesterday , but mistake, I installed the firmware of the X10 mini PRO !!!
Now, once I understood the mistake, I want to flash with x10 mini firmware.
In order to flash I need to have FLASHTOOLS and need to press the BACK button - the problem is that since the phone is using now the wrong firmware, the BACK button (needed for the flushing ) doesn’t do anything and thus, I cannot install the correct firmware. I tried pushing all other buttons without any luck.
Any idea how I can overcome this problem ? I can’t use my phone now.
which firmware you are wrong installed. ROM or kernel.

Limit on the number of roms you install on your phone.
flash your stock rom. (ftf)
Also make a backup of the original rom, and then you install custom roms

Is there any other way to Boot into Recovery Mode? I already tried using ADB Commands, it doesn't work for me. Though I tried ADB with other phone and worked.

When I bricked my phone ADB was the first thing that comes to my mind since my volume down is broken. But ADB can't detect my device and whenever I plug it thru USB it just reboot the phone on the SONY logo. Nothing happens and not a single ADB Command works.
I hope someone can give me an alternative. Or is there something that I miss?

Well I m not sure about what I am advising
My friend can boot into recovery using home button for sure, maybe it depends on kernel (or the recovery version) too. So why not flash a different kernel (which includes recovery :: almost all custom kernels have that, not the stock one) using fastboot mode and then give it a try.
I also found the following command
fastboot reboot -bootloader
although it didn't worked on my xperia Ray (assuming bootloader here refers booting into recovery)
Try using Lupus V6 i am using it right now and i checked it. it can enter CWM with home button as well with volume up button. don't forget to thank dev(singh_dd93 & wedgess) if hi helped you.
edit: sorry man i partly miss lidded you. only home button takes you to CWM. volume up takes you to TWRP.

Dude just flash stock.ftf
Then root it
Flash custom ics kernel (included cwm in all kernel)
Then using xposed modules add advanced reboot menu
And then choose reboot to recovery
And i don't think we need volume buttons in whole process
