I've made a mistake when i locked bootloader while I had inside the phone the repack stock rom that requirs the unlocked bootloader. Now phone doesn't turn on and pc companion doesn't work because when I tray to repair firmware it says that it isn't ready for the installation, try later. I try to unlock again the bootloader with flash tool but the program stops at the words "please attach a turned off phone now". What can I do?

The point is, you shouldn't relock if you use test point method. If you relock with some other flashable kernel or some sort, than obviously you made a mistake. Try to flash the ftf from any of the ftf of stock rom available here (sorry i'll post a link after I get into my computer). You can search for it down in this forum.

I need to flash my X10 Mini, but I can't find the firmware for It anywhere with a working link. Anyone that still have the file and willing to share?
There are only plenty of links to sites that are down
I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.9-robyn on the phone and then afterwards it just won't start anymore, so i need to flash it and then use SEUS to restore it.
UPDATE!
I found everything and fixed everything I needed by just flashing It with a stock kernel.
Just use the Repair option in Pc Companion.

I'm not looking for how to do It..... Read the question before you post. I appreciate you trying to help, but at least understand what the question Is first.
I'm looking for the firmware for the flashtool so I can flash my device (.ftf file)
They guides that teaches you how to fix a bricked phone got links to megaupload (that got shutdown not long ago) and multiupload (also got shutdown) for the firmware I'm looking for.
If you can't turn the phone on, then flashtool won't help you. You have to able to turn the phone on to get to download mode for flashtool, or Pc Companion, or SEUS to do their thing.
If your phone doesn't turn on, you've got a hard brick. Which is bad.

No, it can be a hard brick, he didn't do anything to put his device in danger (from what he claims).
He just needs a stock .ftf file for mini, which I was planning to do in the past, but did only for the pro... I am sorry my friend... There is only one solution -to make the ftf file yourself, which is something very confusing and you are going to need another mini to do this. But don't get your hopes down, it is possible, at least...

The phone it self comes to a point where there is some light on the screen, but i can't see the SE Logo anymore. I can charge the phone without problem from what it looks.
If I can get hold of another mini how can I make the ftf?
What did I do to achive this problem??
I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.9-robyn and it ended with a phone that got stuck during boot. Then I got to a guide where someone said "Hardreset the device and use SEUS", but SEUS always says that my phone has the latest software.

As far as SEUS is concerned, you DO have the latest software. It just doesn't realise that what you have doesn't work. Select the option to reinstall the software.

Only one problem here, I don't have the option to reinstall the software at all after it says that I already have the latest software.
Can it be that the option is no longer there depending on SEUS version?

There is a repair option in PC Companion, see it, please! The repair option on PC Companion is Support Zone --> Update --> Repair.
BTW, to hard reset :
1. Turn the phone off
2. Press the POWER button
3. Press and hold home key aprox 3 seconds
4. The hard reset is starting.

I will try that thanks, but you need to hard reset before the repair with PC Companion?
I managed to find the stock kernel so now I'm starting the device, but I get a SE logo and then It shuts off.
One problem when I try to repair on step 2 (prepare step) I get a error unable to start or phone update update components. (the pc companions is installed with the newest version)
My phone was just rooted and did factory reset yesterday.
After that my phone is crazy as many functions not working anymore,
Abyss ways to save my phone?
WiFi not working
Screen lock not working
Usb to pcbs can be detected but not able to connect
Home button not working

I didn't install xrecovery before the wiping, so there are nothing that i could do even i had xrecovery
How can i install custom rom? Since it is my first smart phone.
Moreover, right now the phone can't connecting to a computer at all.
I checked a lot of topics that required the phone is able to connect to a pc,
In order to install any custom roms.

If your provider didn't change the software on your phone too much, this will work. It will work best if you leave your phone disconnected from your pc until step 7

Try reflashing ftf again. For that do the following steps:
1. Take battery off the phone
2. Wait 10 seconds
3. Open flashtool -> select the firmware -> click ok
4. When the window to put phone in flashmode appears, plug the battery in your phone again
5. Hold volume down and while holding connect phone to pc. Don't press anything else, just hold volume down
6. Wait until the flasing process has ended
And now you should be fine
Oh man each and every guide regarding unlocking bootloader advices u to Not to accept any OTA updates. Why did u do that?
please mark this thread with [SOLVED] tag if your ploblem is solved.
so yesterday i was on Facebook with mu xperia st25 and it just crashed and after that I tried to switch it on and Sony logo appears then Xperia logo appears than screen flashes white for like a second and it starts to show the same ritual and it won't stop before I take the battery out. so please help me, I have almost lost hope, I don't know what to do next so please help me out and I have tried holding the power button and volume down/up and the same thing happens. And I will already say thank you
boot loader unlocked yet?if not download Sony service center (Google it)...follow the instruction in the SUS.but if your bootloader already unlocked,use flashtool download flashtool(Google it) then search for "xperia u b.1.100.ftf" download it(the file should be .ftf after that run flashtool flash it done .....if u don't know how to use flashtool Google will be or friend.remember charge your phone until it max.Don't panic You can repair your phone

It is still repairable! Don't worry. Just install the ROM.
I just wanted to say thank you all so much, I had almost lost hope but i got it fixed, I downloaded Sony pc companion and then did the repair thingy and at first my phone disconnected from the computer but on the third attempt it worked, so thank you again and also I did not lose any of my pictures or music, just contacts.
