I recently tried to install cm7 and now i ma stuck at my sony ericsson start screen and i cant return to recovery can someone please help me
I think you brick the phone, try the repair procedure with pc companion, it will reset the default factory value... sad but worked on my xperia x8
Pull out your battery and then reinsert and use buttons to go to recovery ( volume down, home n power)

if you have an X10mini (notPRO) and tried to install CM7 (i.e. miniCM7-2.1.3 or official CM)
you obviously forgot to read the first lines of my FAQ, so do it, and then, you'll have fastly working phone

if you really want to use miniCM7 and have your BL unlocked, just flash nAa's kernel with flashtool
if not, you absolutely need to start from the beginning using SEUS, sorry (post 3 of my FAQ, you'll get links to debrick )
and read carefully everything before making mistakes
I was in the same situation. I installed minicm7 pro v20 and then it entered infinity loopboot. With luck, i pressed the menu button for some seconds just before "sony ericssom" appear and then i entered in the CWM 3.2 menu, where i did a restore.

Don't worry if the Flashtool says 'USB debugging is disabled' if you enabled it before flashing it,it is because the Flashtool got a problem with connecting to your USB debugging feature in your phone...
About the bootloop,it is considered a softbrick as it can be fix as long as you can connect your phone to your PC in Flashmode

Thanks for responses, frankly I don't know what happend to it, it came to me already broken, trying to flash but it won't enter it in msc mode (@ puppet13th: yes, I was reffering to mtp), and I don't know how to switch to msc because it doesn't boot. Thanks a lot for your help
Is there a way to switch it to msc with adb push or something? Anyone can help me?

Enter flashmode for flashtool
Hey....i don't think you need to switch it to MSC mode for flashing.... did you try to enter flashmode by holding "Volume down" button while inserting the USB cable into the phone ? Are you trying to flash it via Flashtool ( it is the easiest way ) ?

Yes, I tried to flash it with flashtool, but it won't recognize the phone, holding volume down while inserting usb, and the mini led light up orange, so... what else can I do? .. thanks
Did You switch the phone off before that?
Procedure is:
1) Switch off the phone (remove battery if needed)
2) Press "volume down" and hold
3) Put he USB cable in.
Do You see driver installation dialog running in windows? wait until it finishes.
4) Start the flashtool
5) Flash the ROM.
Yes, I did exactly the same, but it doesn't install the drivers
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
Then You need to install either Sony PC companion or form the Sony develeoper site the proper drivers.
Sony PC Companion You find here
Pc companion will install all the SE xperia drivers You need.

You have drivers in Flashtool folder under : \flashtool\drivers install them , and accept all of the installation requests by Windows . Or install official drivers from Sony or from Google's SDK source .

I did it like this: connect phone in fastboot mode, then i installed the drivers manually when this is not working plug out your phone install PDA net on your computer, connect your phone in fast boot mode and the program will install the drivers
Sorry for my bad english
when you plug in your usb while holding volume down key the led should be green not orange.
green led means the phone is in flashmode.

hi this not help ,any idea?
This may help you 90%... just try it
I also have bricked up my Xperia Neo V
I tried many tools but no one helped.....
Finally I got back my bricked phone back by doing following things....
download all the needed things you need to update phone with wotan X tool unlock, you will need
1. X_Unlock_Tool_Setup_Wotan
2. WotanClient
3. USBFlashDriver
you can get all these from wotan website.
also create an account on wotan website. NO NEED TO BUY ANY CREDITS
install all above mentioned tools.
then run X UNLOCK TOOL
then follow on screen instructions untill you get an error that you don't have sufficient credits.
NOTE THAT NOW YOUR PHONE HAS GOT A SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE FROM THIS TOOL. BUT THE POSITIVE ASPECT IS THAT YOU CAN NOW FLASH ANY ftf FILE USING FLASH TOOL. SIM LOCK WILL BE REMOVED AFTER THE WHOLE PROCESS.
now flash the desired firmware on your phone.
power up your phone
if it power ups successfully, then your phone will not detect your SIM card.
finally use S1 tool to remove SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE.
CLICK THANKS IF IT WORKS
BEST OF LUCK

I am using an Unlocked Bootloader Xperia Ray and it got bricked when I tried to flash in Cyanogen mod 7 for Xperia Ray...
Now I am trying to flash stock roms using Flashtool but it is requiring me to be in Flasmode which obviously I can't do it. I have done the steps but it wont recognize my phone.
I am also trying to figure how to flash a kernel but every kernel that I download comes in an *.img format but FLASH TOOLs require FTF file to flash the kernel.. how can I do it?

No, blue is for fastboot mode, green is for flashmode.
1) Have you ever unlocked your bootloader? I know you posted log from s1tool, but I don't know how s1tool shows officially unlocked BL's, hence why I ask.
2) Reinstall (latest) flashtool, and drivers from flashtool, since you said it connects/disconnects. Ideal would be to try on different PC.
3) Download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358

That's the beautiful thing about PC Companion
Choose Update.
It can't detect your device and assumes it is broken.
It will display a little ink that says 'repair'
Click on it and you will be able to choose your model, and it will download the firmware for it.
When it asks for flashmode, press home- and power-buttons at the same time, your phone will hard reboot and enter flashmode...
Wait till it's done.

1.Switch off your mini
2.remove battery and wait for 5 seconds before you reinsert it
3.keep holding upper volume button and connect usb cable (make sure its already connected to PC)
4.if there's blue notification light, then its fastboot mode.
5.Also you need fastboot driver installed from sdk on your PC
May be, if you are familiar with all above steps, i guess something wrong on PC. check with removing & reinstalling fastboot driver from sony's site

You say you had unlocked bootloader before flashing ST15i)_4.0.2.A.0.42_CE ftf
And then you upgrade to .587 via pc companion ?
Because AFAIK when I tried updating same on my friends phone with unlocked bootloader. Pc companion denied to update because of software modification.
And if you were successfully updated then most probably your bootloader is relocked. So you may wanna check that!
Also try for hard reset if possible!
