[Q] Xperia X10 Mini Pro bricked???Please, help! - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi!
I have a big problem that was caused by my own stupidity. I tried updating my phone to CM9, but I didn't install the nAa kernel first. What I have now is a phone that is completely useless. I can't enter CMW recovery, the phone doesn't stay in flashmode, it does enter, but then it just proceeds to the bootscreen with the Sony Ericsson logo. From there, I can't enter recovery, and I can't even turn off the damn thing.
So basically I can't recover my previous firmware, I can't reflash the phone, I can't do anything! Please, help!
Thanks in advance!

and then the noob bricked his x10

Hello All,
I just bricked my x10, and have no idea whats going on, other than knowing that the x10 is bricked! So this is what happened...
I backed everything with titanium backup, and then proceed to do my JIT and Cleaner in shell root. I first shell root then ran the JIT_enabler v2, then after that I ran the junk_cleanup. When the junk cleanup finishes, I ddint like how it was set up and couldnt figure out how to change it back, so I did a full system backup from titanium. After the backup it was still no good, I then proceed to do a factory reset in the privacy tab in system settings. When I came back to my phone after the factory reset, it erased everything.... my screen was blanked and I couldnt do anything. I restarted the phone, and the phone was stuck on the Sony Ericsson logo. I couldnt even turn off my x10. I restarted one more time by taking the battery out, but it is still stuck at the Sony Ericsson Logo... what should I do? is my phone done for? i only had it for less than a week =[
please help! thanks!
You'll need to repair your phone, using pc companion. At update it'll say up to date, update it anyway and you'll start from scratch.

but the problem for using PC companion is that I cannot even connect my phone with PC companion because I cannot mount my memory card. Its stuck at the SE logo sign, and when I plug in the usb cable, it tells me to drag down the menu and mount the memory card.... and I cannot do that because my main screen is still stuck on SE logo... any ideas? Thanks!
You do not need to mount your sd card for pc companion or seus to work. Load pc companion, take the battery out of your phone for 30 seconds. Put the battery bck in the phone and attach thhe usb cable. Do not plug the other end in to your pc yet. Start the update on pc companion and it should ask you to attach the phone in flash mode. When it does that hold the back button on your phone down and while still holding itdown, plug the usb cable in to your pc. Follow the instructions and it should then be back to normal

Right my friend, don't worry. As long as you can get to a Sony Ericsson logo it is not bricked!
By getting to the Sony Ericsson logo it means that Flash mode is still available.
Have you changed your carrier code on the phone? If so use the firmware for that code, if you are not sure just ask again what we mean
Secondly get the Flash tool, stick in the firmware, boot into flash mode and you should be set my friend.
Just make sure its the right firmware for your phone
If you need any more help just ask

I had the same problem with xRecovery.
before I put the beta 2, I have made a backup with xRecovery to save my 2.1 [Eminence v1.2]
then I stucked with SE white logo, I pulled the battery out, rebooted and went back to xRecovery..
so If you didn't made any backup, use Flash Tool or reflash.. same thing, same result

SEUS
Just download the Sony Ericsson Update Service - SEUS - Run it - follow the prompts - force a system restore - it will work.
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/updateservice/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en
Hold the back key while putting in the battery, cable already connected and SEUS running - your looking at the bootloader saying - no firmware - so load one onto it and your good!

The X10 is impossible to brick, that is about the only good thing with the locked bootloader that SE uses.
You should be able to resolve your problem by starting PC companion agian, and follow the instructions as you did the first time (when you pulled the cable). When inserting the USB while holding the back-key down the phone enters flash mode, this flash mode does not get overwritten when flashing the android OS, so even if the OS is corrupted the flashmode still works, and can be used to rewrite a fresh copy of android to your phone.
Its an easy fix,flash the phone on flash tool

[HELP] [QUICKLY] Bootloader question.

Are we able to crack it or is it too hard? Does the X8 and X10 Mini share the same type of bootloader?
What's the progress of cracking it?
Searching didn't come up with squat.
Help!
I too have a pressing issue with my bootloaders. I had GingerDX installed on my phone and did a factory reset with xrecovery before flashing the CWM zip with xrecovery. Ever since then, my phone has been stuck on the SE screen, I'm guessing because of a problem with its bootloader. I've tried superoneclick, that update app inside the folder structure of SE PC Companion, flashtool (plus drivers) and pressing pretty much every combination of buttons to try and get it to connect to flashtool. Flashtool always has an error trying to flash the bootloader, though, and nothing else will connect for more than a few seconds after I plug in my device.
Anybody got any ideas? I'm posting here as a last resort, had this phone so long it's turning yellow and I'm going to replace it, but I suppose it's worth one last try.

Can you still access xrecovery at all?
If not, what can you when you try to flash something via flashtool?
Did you try PC Companion instead?
Flash the stock SE firmware (I would recommend the 2.3.3 one to save yourself trouble) from Flashtool. If that doesn't work, you're pretty much screwed.
DL firmware from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Best option is given by Panzerfaust101
Another option is as follows:
Remove the battery.
Connect your phone to system with the battery still out.
Now hold the back button and put the battery on, green led will glow.
Now you are on flash mode and this would stay for not more than 10 secs, install the latest firmware and then try accessing Xrecovery.
Its should do the trick!!

[Q] Busybox borked my X10 mini pro

Hi All.
I ran mybackup root for the first time in a long time, only to find a nag screen telling me to install the latest busybox which I did. It was installed into system/bin and on rebooting my X10 mini pro I can no longer get passed the sony ericsson splash screen. I do have an older version of CWM recovery but cannot access this either. Does anybody have any suggestions? I have a custom rom and apps that I'd rather not lose by resorting back to stock.
Thanks.
Well, I've tried pc companion, and still can't get passed the SE logo so can't follow the instructions to repair the phone. Looks like the phone is bricked. This couldn't have come at a worse time, as it's days after Christmas. :crying:

You can always repair the phone, you only need flashmode to do that
Leave it unplugged, choose update in PC Companion
It can't recognise your phone so offer you the repair option
Follow the instructions and connect your phone in flashmode when it asks for it.
(Connect the usb-cable, press home and power buttons simulaneously and when the screen goes black, release those and press the back-button)
Pc companion did recognise the phone. But then asked me to use the pull down menu, as I couldn't even get passed the SE logo, I could not accomplish this task.
I have, however, flashed the phone via SEUS, and now have the SE firmware on there so am good to go. I don't know why I needed the pull down menu on PC companion, and not on SEUS to flash the phone. But at least there are other options to sort the phone out.
Thanks for the reply anyway SmG67.
