I think i bricked my phone for good - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hey,
I have Xperia X10 mini, 2.1.1.A.0.6 build for stock.
I rooted him, install the nAa-14 kernel and MiniCM7-2.2.1 room, and it worked ok.
It's all beginning with trying to change the the room but then i got a problem, loop-boot.
I thought maybe the kernel doesn't fit for the room so i change for CE kernel, which then i got a black screen.
So, i reinstall nAa-14 and MiniCM7-2.2.1, but still got the loop-boot.
I tried several kernels but nothing worked.
Then i thought maybe the CE kernel doesn't work because the phone is rooted , so i un-root him, and it didn't work.
I tried also the Sopc and Update service without a succeed (i tried the update and repair options but i got no option to reinstall it, just notice me i got the last update)
One hour ago i saw the TUTORIAL]Up/Downgrading, ReFlash/ing, Rooting/xRecovery[For Noobs ONLY]
I'm a truly a Noob.
So i tried to root the phone again(SuperOneClick) but with no succeed, It's stuck on "waiting for device"
Then i noticed that the Sopc recognizing my phone as Xperia X8 (wtf?!)
Install the drivers for X8 doesn't help.
This is a dead end for my phone?

As long as the phone does at least something there's a way to get out of it
Download this, it's original 2.1 firmware for the x10Mini for flashtool, put it in the flashtool firmwares folder and flash it. Afterwards you can do other stuff again, like installing naa-14 and minicm7, or, if you want another rom, make sure you've got the right kernel for it too.

it was E10a, and the link is for I
does is matter?

I think the i supports more 3g frequencies than the a, but the ones the a supports are also supported by the i firmware. I think it should work. just try it, it won't break your phone. In any case, it won't get worse than it is now.

Did you by any chance relock your bootloader in your efforts to unbrick your phone?

(un)rooting and (un)locking the bootloader are NOT the same thing
try this instead.

What is the difference?
I did "Restore" on S1tool

maybe try SEUS

the locked version worked.
Thank you !!
so now, if i want install MIN-08 without break it down, what should i do? root the phone?
btw what it is "locked" mean?

locked means it's got the original bootloader for your phone, the other one i sent you had the 'unlocked' loader. Min-08 works on the stock kernel, so you should just root your phone (use the padlock button in flashtool) install xrecovery (the +-button in flashtool).
Put this on your sd-card and flash it with xrecovery, it will install CWM and replace xrecovery.
Then put Min-08.zip onto your sd-card and flash it with the newly installed CWM.
Good Luck

Not able to install any Rom

Having a few issues. Yesterday while using the twitter app, my Xperia X10 froze. I waited for like 5 minutes but it was still stuck so i took out the battery and put it back in. I restarted the phone and then my Wifi stopped working. After alot of reboots, wifi started to pick my wifi connection but then it would connect and give me limited connectivity. I did a few more reboots and then i think i went into xrecovery and by mistake recovered my phone to some earlier date which completely messed up my phone. Now i cant access my ROM i can only use xrecovery. If i try to load past the xrecovery, it shows the Sony Ericsson screen and then it goes blank, The notification light shows a white signal and then it restarts.. Then again it shows the SE Screen and again the white notification light and again restart.. this keeps on happening.
Anyway i decided it was time to install a new rom and it would solve my problems.. I put my phone in Xrecovery and tried to mount the SDcard but the memory card just wont show up on my computer for some reason..
Anyway then i took a card reader and put the roms on the root of my card and then put my card back into my phone.. After that i tried to install the custom zip but it gives me the error E: Cant mount /sdcard (device or resource busy)
WTF?
Can someone help me im clueless !!!
Okey i flashed the 2.1 Rom now.. Do i need to root my phone again? Do i need to install xrecovery again? :S
Hi if you flashed the stock 2.1 ROM then yes you will have to root the phone again and install xrecovery. I reckon you should update to 2.3.3 first using either flashtool, PC companion or SEUS which ever you prefer. Then root using flashtool 0.4.2 and install xrecovery using flashtool as well. Good luck hope this helps.
What rom do you use when phone froze? And why you flash first 2,1 rom? You must first flash 2.3, then root, install xrecovery, (unlock bootloaders if you want) and thats all
I was using 2.3.3 Wolfbreak i think ! Not sure.. Updated a 2-3 months back.
I flashed 2.1 because i read somewhere thats what people did when they got the mount sdcard problem in xrecovery.
Sorry if i sound like a noob but whats a bootloader and why would i unlock it?
Anyway im downloading 2.3.3 first and will then install xrecovery. I want to install one of the MIUI ROM's.. Which one should i install? Which one is the most stable and has the most features?
Unlocked bootloaders just allows change boot logo I think) And for miui I'd suggest oddie or a1exander roms, they are stable and everthing work
Sorry for bad english
Thanks !!!
Installing 2.3.3 right now. Will let you guys know if there's any problem.. Thanks again
Before you install xrecovery don't forget to root first I would use flashtool 0.4.2 for this check out the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 The bootloader as i understand it is basically the very start of the bootup loads the kernel then the ROM loads. The white Sony Ericsson logo when you fist power on the phone is generated by the bootloader. A couple of reasons to unlock the bootloader are to load custom kernels faster an they are more stable this way instead of the bootloader bypass method. Some ROM's e.g Cyanogenmod need an unlocked bootloader I believe. BEWARE I heard of people bricking there phone during the unlock process i would do plenty of research before unlocking. I would have a read of these threads before unlocking your bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253277&highlight=unlock+bootloader+proper+method . I still have not been game enough to unlock my bootloader yet phone still under warranty thought. Good luck nothing wrong with being a noob we all start some where I am a noob too just with lots of reading and experimentation behind me.
Thanks !
Okey well im going for this:
1. Flash 2.3.3 Rom using flashtool
2. Install xrecovery using flash tool
3. Install Alexander's miui by using custom zip in xrecovery (right?)
That should be it? Do i really need to unlock boot loader? Dont really want to mess anything up
Firts root and then install xrecovery Don't install Alexander miui version 11, wait tomorow. 11v have many bugs:/ Don't afraid nulock bootloaders, just read instructions, not rush and everything be okay
Forry for bad english.
2.3.3 installed.
Trying to root it, But flashtool's root button is greyed out ?
Installl drivers from flashtool folder?
Done but still greyed out.. Also enabled USB debugging and unknown applications in the phone
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196808 read instructions and be happy You must first install kernel I think:/
How do i install kernel ?
You don't need to install a kernel yet you have the stock kernel installed already from the 2.3.3 install. Have you put the phone in flash mode before you try and root it. If not put it in flash mode then try and root. Note the op posted is using the old version of flashtool so it will look a bit different.
In that post all write just read You know how put phone in flash mode?
Nope.. The root option in flashtool is just greyed out no matter if im in flash mode or not.
My kernel is 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 [email protected] #1
Android: 2.3.3
Baseband: 2.1.71
Buildnumber: 3.0.1.G.0.75
I hope i flashed the correct 2.3.3 rom? I had a 2.3.3 rom by the name of x10_2.3_aro.ftf I flashed that.
Don't understand. Just follow intructions in my link. No matter that flashtool version old, it makes their job.
Sorry for bad english.
OK I think you need to go back to basics download Sony PC companion and update or repair your firmware from there that way you know you had the right version of firmware for your phone. Firmware can be carrier dependant. Once this is done then try to root using flashtool

[Q] Attempted to install MiniCM7, now stuck at logo. possible to go back to stock?

Hello All.
I followed the install guide for MiniCM7, but after rebooting the Sony Ericsson Logo stays on the screen. not a constant reboot cycle, the words just stay there.
searching around these forums, it seems one of SEUS, FlashTool, or to a lesser extent PC Companion should be able to restore the phone, but the products from SE report no updates found and no matter which version of FlashTool or which firmware I try it aborts immediately.
I can, however, get into CWM. can anything be done from there?
If I'm not mistaken se PC companion and se update service says your phone is upto date and there is an option repair which flashes to 2.1 ie the latest update
Click on the repair option and it will again flash the official rom ..
Don't forget to click the thanks button
just used the firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294579 and it flashed fine. only question is do I bother trying all this again.

did you ever tried to unlock the boot loader?
it seems not
so learn how to unlock it, and then retry (i don't think you've read all the miniCM7 thread's first post and FAQ thread's first and third post)
and please, use flashtool 0.2.9.1
just do the factory reset in CWM recovery

[SOLVED] Think i made a mistake.

Hi everybody and merry christmas!!
So i've a problem with my mini pro sk17. It was unlocked, rooted and with latest firmware 0.58.
I've tried to install hybrid rom v4.5, so for that, i put cwm on my phone. I entered it one time (for installaing the rom) and since, no way to get it back! I 've read the thread about cwm installed, and there is one post wich talk about this issue (missed it of course before flashing!!!!gggrrrrrr): now my phone stay at sony ericsson logo.
Flashtool doesn't work on my pc (java problem, but can't resolve it)
I can put my phone in fastboot mode, but when i try to install another recovery, it says that i'm not root, but yes i am.
Nothing else works. Is there a way to erase completely the phone and push back stock rom or something like that?
Thanks for help.

First of all some questions.
How did you install CWM?
What version of CWM did you run?
Is it nAa's recovery?
I think that your recovery is not able to install custom roms and that it has been deleted during the installation of hybrom.
To install a fully functional CWM and to be able to flash custom roms,you will need to install a custom kernel first, that contains CWM.This can be done only by using fastboot.So you better try and make it work...
Hi, thanks for the reply,
the cwm i've installed was with SE extrem tweak installer found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346190
but i don't know wich version it was.
Yes i've already tried with flasboot, but the problem is that, when i push the kernel, it says that i'm not root!!
Is there a way to get root with fastboot or adb? cause superone cliq or doomlord script root don't work until my phone is not fully started.
I get adb working some times, but i'm not sure i can do something with it.
Bye

If fastboot says that you are not root, then your bootloader is still locked.Unlock your bootloader (visit this page:http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions)
and then flash whatever kernel you want....
Yeahhhhh,
it works!!
Thanks a lot, you're a god for me!!
It is strange cause, it wasn't bootlaoder locked before, so that's why i didn't try to unlock it first. For me it was already unlocked.
So, it's great now i can't do what i want.
HAve a nice day.
Thanks again.

[Q] No service after Flash ROM

Hello,
I flashed the most recent MiniCM9-3.0.2 ROM with nAa ICS kernel and followed all steps carefully. Everything works except i get no service. I can find the service network (vodafone) but i cannot connect to it. I've tried to go back to stock kernel and miniCMPro 21 and i get no service as well. Any help?
Thanks
nvm... I figured it was a bootloader-issue, but i guess since you can still find the network your gsm is still working.
In any case, you're on stock rom, try relocking your bootloader and see if you can connect to the network then (Restore-button in S1-Tool)
Hi,
I'll try to restore and see if it works.
Thanks for the help.
Hi,
I restored and reinstalled CM9 and now everything is working! Thanks
i am in exactly the same boat, just flashed same rom and same kernal and now no service, i also was under the impression if i unlocked the bootloader it unlocked phone to all networks but my virgin sim would not work either, the phone was originally on orange and my orange sim worked before i done this, what do i need to do guys just flash back stock rom, if so where can i find this, thanks!
You need to use PC Companion or SEUS from Sony Ericsson to repair your phone, and then relock your bootloader with the Restore-button in S1Tool.
There is a big difference between sim-unlocking your phone, and boot-unlocking your phone.
The first one will allow you to go on other networks, the second one will allow you to flash a custom kernel.
If you want to unlock your bootloader, follow the tutorial and make sure your simlock-certificate is compatible, otherwise, obtain an EMMA/IMEI code from your provider to get your phone on other networks. In that case you can unlock your bootloader too.
There are plenty of warnings in the bootloader-unlock tutorial to prevent you from bricking your phone, if you don't understand the options that are there, don't mess with your phone.
iv tried using the repair function of pc companion but it just says no updates available for this phone, and i cant seem to find SEUS can anyone point me in the right direction please.
think i made a mistake last night though while messing, i locked the bootloader back up, had the capital R where needed, but i had a custom rom but i had flashed back the stock kernel by mistake, now the phone sits with sony ericsson on screen and doesnt do anything else, been that way for hours now, any help really appreciated!
Hi
I had the same problem. The easy way is to put the phone back to stck and start all over again. You can find SEUS here (search on google)
update_service_setup-2.11.4.11.exe
After install it just follow the instructions. When it says no update was found just click next anyway. it will restore the phone. And then start from that point:
unlock bootloader, flash kernel and install new Rom imediatly after flash kernel. DONT LET YOU PHONE START WIHT OTHER ROM OTHERWISE IT WILL GET THE SMA PROBLEM! Put the ROM file in the SD card and after install new kernel go imediatley to CWM and install the ROM.
It should work!
cheers mate iv just downloaded it and run it, this is all that happens once i restart in flashmode, any ideas
Go to the Development section for your phone in this forum and try to find a ROM that is based on the stock rom (I think you should still be able to nstall xRecovery on your phone and enter it), then flash it just like you would other custom roms.
how can i go about installing xrecovery mate as i cant access phone the way it is, i can get it into flashmode, using the power and home button then using back quickly after i restart, iv tried flashing a custom kernel back onto it too from flashtool but it gives an error and doesnt do anything, if only i could get that kernel back on at least just to get it out of the freezing!
Open flashtool and connect your turned-on phone through usb, if it says phone connected with usb-debugging, you can use flashtool to install xrecovery and reboot into that.

[Q] U20 hard bricked by flashing wrong Kernel?

I tried to install a custom rom and followed the instructions from this thread. All works fine until I did a fatal mistake: Instead of flashing the nAa kernel as described, I accidently flashed X10 V1 BLRelock that was previously chosen. Now my phone is completely dead, not detected by Flashtool or SEUS, I can't get it into flashmode (pressing 'back' while connecting) even after removing battery several times for different lasting periods.
Is there any chance to recover the phone or am I supposed to buy a new one?

Having a repair-shop JTag it may be cheaper than buying a new phone...
Well, unbricking by JTAG might be cheaper, of course - but is this the only chance? Anything I can do?

Doesn't seem to matter whether you're on stock or custom kernel, the x10Blrelock just bricks the phones. If you need to relock the bootloader for some reason use S1Tool's Restore option.
The best advice i can give at this moment is to just remove the x10blrelock.ftf from the flashtool/firmwares sub-folder so it can't get flashed by accident.

we should have a sticky thread (locked for no replies) with a list of read-first-warnings/what-never-to-do for our minnies. not a loong guide, just a simple list. i think it would serve an important purpose and avoid a lot of bricks for first-time-flash-users.
even I managed to brick my X10MP first time I flashed a ROM. it was loooooong before bootloader-unlock was possible, so very easy to fix.
Well guys, today the postman brought my x10mini pro back from the jtag shop. They did a quite good job by jtagging it for installing an original firmware. The issue is: This one seems to be older than the one I once had. I tried to update the software via PC Companion but there is no higher version available.
For installing CM7-2.2.1 I need Firmware Latest 2.1.1.A.0.6 with Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 - this I had before bricking it.
Now I only have 2.1.1.A.0.54. Where do I get the latest update if not from SE itself?

I think you *should* be ok as long as the baseband is the required version, but there are original firmwares available in the x10 mini pro development section. There is a kernel+baseband package here

This was the first thing I've done after bricking the device
I now installed your linked fw/baseband version, it states the correct baseband ending with ...15 now, but the build goes to 2.0.A.0.504
OK... I did it too... I hard bricked it... now I want to repair it myself, but I will need some help.
I bought these things:
...
Segger J-Link: http://www.segger.com/jlink_base.html
...
GPG Industries u20i resurrection cable: http://www.gsmsp.com/products/Servi...e_for_U20i__by_GPGindustries__1209_19715.html
...
The cable has a battery slot that has no pins (I guess they are not needed), but I soldered them out (just in case) so the battery fits and I can set it on top of the cable so it can power the phone with the J-Link plugged on if needed.
I have a problem finding the correct config files for the J-Link to reprogram the phone. I can't get it to recognize the phone. Maybe I'm doing something wrong in the whole procedure. I don't know... I would be glad if someone experienced with Segger J-Link could help me.
I was watching videos on YouTube about resurrecting the phone with a Riff Box... then I checked, the both boxes have same pin-outs... more the J-Link has a power pin plus, that the Riff box is missing.
X10 Mini totally dead bricked
Congrats!!! Happened to me too just now.
Let me know your progress will order cables but it might take a while for me to get them hence I´m in Brazil.
Question

Well, unbricking by JTAG might be cheaper, of course - but is this the only chance? Anything I can do?

I tried to install a custom rom and followed the instructions from this thread. All works fine until I did a fatal mistake: Instead of flashing the nAa kernel as described, I accidently flashed X10 V1 BLRelock that was previously chosen. Now my phone is completely dead, not detected by Flashtool or SEUS, I can't get it into flashmode (pressing 'back' while connecting) even after removing battery several times for different lasting periods.
Is there any chance to recover the phone or am I supposed to buy a new one?
