Sorry for the long post, but I will try and explain everything as much better as I can.
So, I accidentally flashed a x10 mini PRO rom on the X10 mini. Now the phone gets stuck on the MI logo (it was a miui rom). I can restart the phone normally, I can shut it down, and there is communication with s1tool.
I cannot get into recovery, so I'm stuck. The phone has an unlocked bootloader. So I'm trying to connect it with flashtool, I have the drivers installed, but I don't know what to flash now to restore the phone in a working order. I can't get the phone to remain in flashmode, except if I open s1tool and identify it first. Otherwise it stays in flashmode for 10secs and then it starts booting again.
I have actually managed to flash a stock SE firmware via flashtool. What I did was, I opened s1tool, and then flashtool, and flashtool was able to communicate with the phone, to read the information, and actually flash it, but after I restarted I was stuck in the same boot loop.
I tried to flash recovery again from flashtool, but even when I'm in flashmode, it does not activate all the buttons in flashtool, and therefore it does not give me the option to flash recovery.
I tried with SEUS also to restore it, but it says I have the latest version and it does not let me proceed.
So my question is, is there any way to flash recovery from flashtool, and what is that way? How do you enter flashmode, for the green LED to remain on, because I'm not sure I'm doing it right? Is there any other way to flash a ROM from flashtool?
Please help.
Repair it with SEUS or PC Companion.
Step A: Leave your phone disconnected from your PC
Step B: Run SEUS/PC Companion, and select update
Step C: It doesn't recognise your phone because it's disconnected and give you a repair option
Step D: Select it, choose your model, it will download the firmware
Step E: You get a popup, Press the back-button on your phone while it's off and plug in the USB-Cable
Step F: Wait till it's done...
I have tried that, but I will do it again step by step, and see what happens. Thank you for your time.
restore your phone
sorry for bad english ...

If you haave an unlocked bootloader, why don't you flash a custom kernel for the mini like nAa-14 then use its inbuilt recovery to flash minicm7?

Flash process finished without kernel. You didn't do something stupid like tick exclude kernel, right?
Shutdown flashtool and disconnect your phone, and do the process again.
And may I ask you, since you already followed tutorial, why not asking in it, instead of creating new thread?

I Faced The Same problem many times. do this what i did - when it ask to connect in flash mode, hold down back key then connect via usb. wait for flashtool saying "the flashing started"(or A Sound Of PC that some usb thing is connected), now release the back button. if this process not working try it 2-4 times again. it'll work!

Bro, its better to use fastboot mode.
connect your device in fastboot mode
put ur kernel (IMG file) in androidsdk/tools folder
go to start menu and type cmd and press enter
in cmd write these commands
cd/
cd androidsdk/tools
fastboot flash boot (type kernel name.img without brackets)
So its done / if you want know how to get and use fastboot , you can ask i will tell
Hello,
Today I unlocked the bootloader of my E10i and tried to flash the kernel with anroid 2.2
Well, I accidentaly selected X10's kernel instead of E10's. It flashed without any fail but now the phone wont boot at all.
I've tried fastboot and flashtool mode on "flashtool" so i can flash back the original kernel but the mobile can't be recognised at all from the pc.
It can't neither enter flash mode (back button while plugging USB), nor fastboot mode (vol up while plugging USB).
Screen will not even wake. When i connect it to charge. the loght won't even come up.
I've searched all the internet and didn't find a solution to my problem.
If there is a way so I can get my phone back i would be gratefull to help me.
Sorry for my English.

I accidently flashed x10mini's kernel to my x8 before but it could turn on with a blank screen. Then reflashing x8's kernel solved the problem.
Anyways try to take out battery then replace after 7 minutes (there's a black cable in back of your phone, you can disconnect it using a screwdriver)
If still no sign of life (no vibration when pressing power button or turning to flash mode) so it's a HARD BRICK
only can repaired by Sony service center or jTag box
(Sony service is recommended)
Sorry

Think i flashed it once and restored with SEUS
but cant be 100% sure it was long time ago
Ok, I've installed all the drivers that come with flashboot (xperia u, flashboot and fastboot)
ST25i
firmware 6.1.1.B.1.54
ics 4.0.4
Says in the settings that it can be unlocked.
Gone all the way through the official method, at the end it just says "root failed" (rechecked both modes multiple times.
Installed flashtool, tried that method, root fails.
Run "root many android", also fails.
I am running everything in admin mode, the phone stays in fastboot and driver is recognized... I just have no idea.

better unock through flashtool
u trying to root or unlock bootloader??
I think he wants to root it...You have to flash .B.1.10 kernel as first. After that you can root (by any method, but I strongly recommend latest Flashtool). And after rooting flash back kernel B.1.54
Where do I get the kernel and how do I flash it? Thanks!
I've tried using this, but get the error "the device must be rooted 1st"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926387
Now following this guide, gets stuck when it tells me to unplug the device, hold the back button (up arrow) and plug in the usb, phone comes on, computer recognises, phone stays with blue led lit... nothing happens..
Use flashtool to flash stock kernel. Search for. 10 and. 54 kernels on forum
Sent from my Xperia Sola (XDA for Android)
Flash .10 kernel first. Root your phone with "root many android" trheads method and watch the tut vid. Then flash. 54 kernel. I couldnt find "root many android" topic with my phone, so just search for it. When using flashtool to flash kernels, first install drivers from drivers folder, then boot your phone in flashmode. Hope this helps

Hi all
I am not new to flashing etc, just come from a galaxy note with nexus 4.2.2 to a HTC desire hd which I dropped, now I am using a Sony Xperia U.
I would like to flash the following rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284394
I understand I need to have an unlocked bootloader (Which I have done), I also need root, and then to install CWM recovery.
I cannot root though, I am using "root with restore by bin4ry" but using either option does nothing on my phone, it states it should prompt me to restore a backup on the phone, but this does not happen.
I am running build number 6.0.b.3.184.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
You don't need root actually. A kernel with CWM Recovery should be enough.
I don't know exactly but I assume 6.0.xx is Gingerbread?
If so I recommend you to flash stock ics firmware through flashtool, then flash a custom kernel (like Sliding_XU) with fastboot and last but not least install the rom.zip through cwm recovery, after doing full wipe (including /system!).

Right, im stuck on the first step.
I am in flashmode (Green LED), trying to flash 6.1.1.B.1.54 (stock ICS). When I try using flashtool it says preparing files for flashing, then immediately says error flashing, aborted. Then reboots the phone.
I am on 6.0.b.3.184. Any ideas?
maybe is the driver problem , go to C:\Flashtool\drivers and install driver and try to flash again
Still the same problem:

Did you download the correct .ftf?
I am using the top rom from this link:

Mhh.
Try an other maybe?
And try to connect your phone, when flashtool asks for it. Not before.
I will give it a go with another firmware file. Thanks
Nooooo
You have forgotten to install flashmode and fastboot drivers. Go to drivers installation again, in the list of all the phones scroll down and check the flashmod and fastboot drivers also.. Then you'll be able to flash firmware..

true, not only install the device drivers, u need the flashmode and fastboot drivers also
tapatalked!
The ADB and bootloader drivers where installed, and I went through the installer in the flastool directory but still no go.
I ended up using the Sony updater as there was an ICS available for that so happy days.! Thanks all.
Hi everyone!
Not sure if this is in the right category so i apologize..
I've got Marshmallow (rooted, xposed..) and before i wanted to update it to Nougat i made a hard reset so i start from beginning with Nougat.
In Flashtool while flashing there was error and there was one info that said USB debugging must be on.. Great, now i can't even boot my phone.. After some tryings there is no more Update failed message while trying to boot it but just Sony logo stays forever...
Please help me coz i don't know what to do anymore, i need my phone ofc... Thank You!..

download the latest flashtool
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
use the built in xperifirm button to go grab the right software for your phone, then flash it in flashmode. The tool tells you when it's ready and tells you what to do. (phone powered off, connect usb cable while holding vol-down WHEN PROMPTED)
You can leave all the options default on the firmware selector screen, though you may wish to tick the "USERDATA" box under wipe if you want to start fresh.
