Dear Guys,
I have bought a Xperia Mini Pro two weeks ago & yesterday I have unlocked the bl and flashed the KernelPanic 1.25, everything was fine, then I installed an LED Fix with CWM, but it end up in a bootloop. I tried to fullwipe it, to flash the kernel again with flashtool etc
Finally, I relocked the bl & flashed the .587 firmware with the PC-Companion. After that at starting the phone only the LED blinks three times, but I still can go into fastboot mode & flash mode.
I've tried everything but nothing worked & or I'm just too stupid for it.
Do you have any idea how to bring it back to life ?
P.S.: Sry for my bad English, I'm from Germany.

The kernel.sin is included in the ftf. After you flashed the fix you needn't relock bootloader, just flash the rom again. I recommend to do a nandroid backup in cwm before flashing anything, just for sure. Try to flash the stock ftf again.
If this doesn't work and you can enter fastboot mode, unlock the bootloader again, flash a custom kernel, boot in cwm and mount usb storage, push a zip of any rom, install the rom, reboot (the kernel must be the right one for the rom of course) and you should be done :good:
EDIt: You can PM me if you want, and we can talk in German
Just LED blinks three times

Have you check your battery?
If the LED blinks in RED color for three times, that means battery is empty
Flashing official firmware seus worked on the second try.
I'm on CyanogenMod FXP 9.1 now, it runs better than stock.
Thanks you all.

I just rooted my phone using this method, which has been succesful for me earlier.
Everything went fine, and I didn't do anything except for what stated in the post, but when I tried to startup the phone, it gets stuck at the SE logo. Not the text logo, but the logo after the colorfull animation and with the picture logo above of it.
I removed the battery after waiting 10 minutes and I tried again, with the same 'result' (or failure as you wish).
And, yes, I have used the Neo file, not the Arc's. My Neo was running on the latest 4.0.xxxx firmware before rooting.
Should I try:
reflash ROM?
relock bootloader?
flash another ROM
????
Edit:
When charging, the phone also won't get past the green logo, and the LED is not on.
Edit²:
Fastboot mode working, so flashmode if necessary also I guess.
Now retrying from the neo_modded.img
Edit³:
Didn't work, now reflashing stock 2.3.2
Reflash 2.3.2, root with Gingerbreak and update OTA to last 2.3.3
FIXED
now on stock 2.3.2
But, this is XDA, so let's try to flash a pre rooted ROM I just finished downloading.
Hello,
With an unlocked bootlaoder you can flash the 2.3.3 firmware, then install DooMKernel from recovery . That seems Root, Recovery and an Overclock option with the latest stock rom
Phone is working, now checking if rooted.
It was quite easy actually:
flash generic 2.3.3 with flashtool
turn on USB debugging and select device Xperia X10 in the flashtool
in the top menu, click root psneuter
turn phone of, and flash relock bootloader Xperia
update your phone to 2.3.3 using PC companion or SEUS
Hmmm, sure this worked for me once, phone now won't get past a black screen witch lit background, flashmode working. I'll retry.
Fixed, but phone not rooted. I'll leave it this way, non-rooted.
Unlock bootloader. Flash 2.3.4. Flash rootxperia and u got the latest with root. No overclock yet for 2.3.4 but it's all good.

Which firmware version?
Best is to reflash everything and wipe your phone during the process.
Download the X10 flashtool.
I'd recommend this method (only if you have an unlocked bootloader) it's very easy.
here are some additional instructions considering flashtool

I don't know what firmware, i just know that it's a MT15a...
Which firmware should i use?
I just flashed with the latest 2.3.4 firmware and it's working.
Now i would like to know what tutorial to follow to root my phone with this firmware and don't brick it.
Also, I unlocked bootloader before i flashed, so i don't know, it's still unlocked?

yes, it should be still unlocked.
One : since you unlocked your bootloader, some music add-ons in the stock player won't work anymore, same for TrackID. Replacement for TrackID is Shazam.
Two : DO NOT accept over the air updates, only update using PC companion or Update service on your pc, else your phone will be unusable.
So, here's how to root 2.3.4. It's very easy if you know how to flash.
All your data will be saved, but best is to make a backup just for sure.
Note: just copy the zip to your sd card (when I tried it first, I unzipped it. Had no experience with clockworkmod)
Good luck!
I'm having the same problem. I'm on 2.3.3, unlocked the bootloader, and then flashed rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281489. What should I do?

Hi, first i want to say sorry about my english level and thanks to people who reads my post.
I try to flash mi xperia mini pro sk17, with ..058 version of firmware, unlocked bootloader, rooted and with CWM.
Will follow the step by step instruction, and after instalation my phone is stuck on Sony Ericsson screen and nothing happens about 10 minutes and after then i remove the battery and try to enter in CWM and again nothing happens.
Does anyone have the same problem and how you resolve it ?
Thanks in advance for people who help me !
Respect for all XDA members !
Occured same problem, flashed my phone back to stock firmware until I find a solution.
Anyone has one?
ok...i will try to explain....I believe you have installed nAa-r2 CWM? It is defective CWM since it is put in system/ section... hybrom rewrites this section, thus, when you start recovery from system/ and try to install ROM, you try to erase CWM from under CWM....just update your FW to .62, install custom kernel you like and then make all wipes and install zip from sd card)

Yeah, I think the best way is to update to .62, then install b kernel (made by bbooff himself - unlock bootloader needed) then load Hybrom, then you can install any other kernel you like. But I have problem with X kernel with Hybrom, first one is bootloo and then draining batterry very fast ^^"

the rom is based on 0.62 Kernel, upgrade first to 0.62 then try flashing again, i dont know if this makes a difference but its worth a try
I solved my problem and installed Hybrom v12 now.
First, indeed, you need to have unlocked bootloader and .62 firmware, I used WotanClient to flash the firmware. Then I got other kernel, I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161 this one.
Then I entered the Clockworkmod Recovery(press power button one-two times, when the screen goes lighter on turning on). Then I followed the instructions from the Hybrom and successfully installed it.
I got WT19i, but should apply the same.
I have a rooted SE wt19i with CWM recovery installed and yesterday I wiped all the data, cache and system files to install Minimul Triumph ROM.
When I rebooted my phone it was stucked at the First Sony Ericsson screen and didnt boot into recovery. I have a Backup On My SD.
Please Help
have you tried flashing back to the original firmware using flashtool?
Yes i DId try but it doesnt even go to flash mode
Edit:I finally managed to go to flash mode. I flashed the firmware succesfully thanks kevin
First, I cannot find that kind of ROM for WT19i, could be wrong ROM to install. You can only install ROMs, that are built for your phone.
Second, you must have custom kernel to boot into custom ROM. Stock kernel only works with stock ROM. First install custom kernel(there's plenty of them in Development section, like X Kernel, Rage Kernel, bbooff's kernel etc) and then via CWM install custom ROM(install from sdcard).
Most custom kernels include CWM.
Please help me

Yes, you need to lock your bootloader if you want. The method is almost the same as you did to unlock it.

okay but there is one little problem more... the sony original rom is a ftf file so do i need to flash the kernel first using fastboot.... as i intend to use the mesa kernel with it.....
correct me if i am wrong this is the steps i would be taking.....
1. flash mesa kernel 1.6 using fastboot
2. select flashmode and then then select the sony ics rom 4.1.b.0.431
3. press the volume down button and flash this rom....
4. power on voila stock rom with custom kernel.....
am i right with this procedure........

while flashing the stock ROM (.ftf), make sure you check 'exclude kernel', then proceed. I'm not sure whether this is the right method to flash custom Kernel and Stock ROM, but afaik, it should work.. If you wanna be more sure, then try going through a few tutorials if you find them, or wait for a more experienced member to correct me if I'm wrong.
And also, I'm not sure of how efficiently stock ICS will work with mesa kernel..
Not claiming to be a more experienced user but...
1.) flash stock rom using flash mode
2.) flash kernel using fastboot mode
Ready.
You can not accidentally relock the bootloader by flashing a rom or kernel.
Sent from my phone.
No you will not relock your bootloader. If you Unlocked via the test point method you never need to relock your bootloader, whoever posted the second post needs to reread your question.
Flash using flashtool the ftf, then before you boot up your stock rom, flash MESA kernel via fastboot and flashtool then boot up for the first time. Done.
well i already flashed the rom.... and mind you never flash the kernel and then the rom(ticking xclude kernel) cuz the flashing stucks at 99%....
always flash rom first bootup and then poweroff and then flash kernel.....
also use bloatware remover removes the blotware and makes the stock rom superfast....... loving it......
although i cant seem to figureout on how to use v6 supercharger though....
ANY HELP ON THAT
THANKS AND TON....
and nvr get afraid while rooting u always get something in the last.... even if its a paperweight

You shouldnt have to bootup before flashing the kernel. It has nothing to do with the actual boot aslong as the kernel is correct for the rom you are trying to boot. If you want a fresh install with MESA kernel then you can flash the kernel in fast boot straight after flashing the ftf with flashtool.

I tried the flashtool 0.5.3.0 and 0.6.9.1 with the ftf file you provided but still gets stuck on 1st sony ericsson boot screen
I don't know what is wrong but custom roms boots just fine except the touchscreen doesn't work
my touchscreen works fine before it got bricked. I almost tried everything but still no luck. If you have anymore ideas please let me know, thanks

I think, flashing the wrong ftf might have broke something, so I would contact Alejandrissimo or Jinx13 and see if they can help you remotely, as it's quite strange this. Try flashing a custom (ICS) kernel with CWM, then flash one of the ST18 ftfs but exclude the kernel, and see where that gets you.

even before flashing the wrong rom i am already having this problem, tried flashing doomkerneI and flash stock ftf excluded kernel. It gets past the first SE boot screen but gets stuck on the second SE logo (after screen animation) then I tried installing Xperia ultimate hd with aroma but it detects my board type as Lt15i Anzu or Lt18i Ayame and intalled the one for Ray.. boots upto the Lockscreen but Touchscreen is unresponsive also same with other custom roms. I just cant get the stock rom too boot up and only custom roms work
I also tried adb and these fastboot commands:
fastboot -w and
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery (error)
fastboot erase boot (success)
fastboot erase data (success)
fastboot erase splash (error)
fastboot erase cache (success)
and flashed custom kernel and installed rom in CWM flashed stock ftf again still stuck on SE logo. maybe my phone partition is corrupted i dunno

Hi,
I'm in the same situation, I bricked my phone with a custom firmware and tried many things so far, but none worked.
My phone start only with the unified kernel 3.0.x KERNELS] [RAY / PRO] 3.0.8-nAa-03 [6/5/2013] - Unified kernel + CWM Recovery , but touch is not working.
I noticed when I flash stock firmwares with flashtool the current device is :
Current device : ST17i - CB511U4GE1 - 1254-9461_R2I - 1248-9545_4.0.2.A.0.58 - WORLD-a_4.1.B.0.587
When I try to install CM10, fails. I assume it's a device check, because there's a failure message saying some kind of ro.product.device=ST18i ... and so on
have you managed to get your ray working?
Thank you!

CM10 fails on device check because it relies on system partition from the stock rom - so, you just need to flash "system" from STOCK firmware and then try install CM10 again.
Now, regarding the TOPIC:
Exactly same issue and behavior.
1. Tried unlock using official sony guide (no TA backup)
2. installed cm9 and everything worked FINE (however after unlock I could still see capital 'R' in name of EBOOT
3. decided to try another roms and tried install Xperia HD rom (using AROMA installer - <<< blaming this installer! (and myself too ofcourse)
4. I'm pretty sure I was careful selecting correct values including device=RAY and bootloader=UNLOCKED
5. Phone does not boot, probably kernel mismatch, I decided to install pacman rom and its booting fine, but then -> touch screen NOT working
6. Tried to flash STOCK rom (perhaps I was doing some locking/unlocking bootloader in between, don't really remember)
7. no stock roms are working - stuck on SONY/SE logo...
8. After that I was doing almost everything, trying to restore locked/unlocked bootloader, flashed Restore Xperia 2011 ftf (with preset.ta)
Symptoms are exactly same: Even if I flash official roms, TA info shows differen rom (looks like not being updated) and I still have capital 'R' in EBOOT version however my phone is 100% unlocked - I can flash/reflash kernels and fastboot oem unlock shows 'already unlocked' message.
I ended up with purchasing 'OmniusSE' application and trying to fix s1boot/doing unlocking with this app/reflashing/almost everything - NO LUCK.
If anybody knows how to restore this phone so the STOCK fw could work, or at least touchscreen was not bricked - PLEASE SHARE THE WISDOM!

update:
Meanwhile, I heard very similar problems (after flashing/reflashing/unlocking) from different users. Like here for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953468) and the solution was - replace the touchscreen. I heard this even from service-centre specialists that repaired ST18i phones. So end-up purchasing a new screen on ebay. Lets hope it will help.
I'll update this post if this will solve the issue.
Ordered new screen from ebay and most importantly I've managed to replace it and... IT WORKS!!!!1111221!
