I think the best is flash stock ftf file with flashtool!
i agree with Khalil last info;
prerequisites of using flashtool is the appropiate drivers and android adb connection parameter fullfilled and stock ftf file stored on you harddrive.. (i hope you have all of the above succesful) if not then search in XDA for the proper setup..
flash mode is using USB cable and mobile, mobile alone cannot go into flash mode...
sorry what are you trying to do ??? bit unclear with your theory of hard reset..
sorry for my explanation... actually yesterday onwards my phone is not turning on it's hanging on boot screen .. my friend says me do a factory reset or hard reset your phone your phone will be normal .. that's why i want to hard reset my phone. Here i saw some threads to do hard reset ... but they don't work. I know the method force shutdown and force restart .. my problem is stuck at boot screen any one know about hard reset please tell me how to do that .... thanks ...

buoy you will have to flash the ftf file using flashtool as mentioned by KHALIL................ It will install a fresh stock rom on your device...........
If:
-Bootloader is locked: Repair phone using SUS phone repair. Since you can get boot animation, getting into flashboot is not a problem.
-Bootloader is unlocked: Repair phone using flashtool. Flash any ICS stock ftf file using flashtool.
is flashing diiferent version can fix certain bug?
im running europe version ics on my sola.my problem is my battery %.ive done a lot of tutorials.but nothing happens.should i flash an indian version?

Help me ppl ! I screwed up big time !!
I originally got X10 mini with Android 2.1 and relatively old firmware ...anyway I rooted my phone, took the backup and then Flashed a CWM Recovery on it !
Factory WIPED all the data for the new ROM ......
Then I was about to Flash this CM 7.1 ROM when all of a sudden it displayed the message that it wont work wihout the Latest Firmware .... so from there on I had no choice but to Restore my Backup and go back to a working OS, so I could easily proceed with Firmware update ...... but that never happened !!!
The Backup couldnt be recovered ...it failed for i dont know what reason ....ever since then the device never worked beyond the WHITE Sony Ericsson LOGO !!! Im stucked ..... even the CWM Recovery isnt working now !!
I'm stucked !! I've been looking for a solution for almost 3 days now .... but had no luck !!! dont know what to do from here on!! KINDLY HELP !! plzz plzz plzzz !! I desperately need to fix this !! the device even aint mine !!!
restore to stock by using sony ericsson update service
First, don't panic
And you have to notice and make this a lesson; if CWM said that your baseband is incompatible, it means, CWM is not flashing anything to your phone, yet.. So you only have to restart the phone, instead of recovering your CWM backup, and you'll be back to your default OS
Second, now find a tool named FlashTool, and also find a 2.1 stock firmware.. now proceed to flash with USB cable, you'll find the instruction together with the tool
Third, you'll be OK, trust me
first of all moedjs man !! Thx for sympathy n giving me courage !!
but could you kindly confirm that FlashTool would still work even If I'm unable to mount USB anywhere !! coz USB would charge phone but since I'm stuck on Sony Ericsson Logo and cant go beyond that point I'm unable to update my Firmware via PC Companion tool by Sony Ericsson tooo !!!
Thats the main reason I was panicking mate !! Kindly Kindly confirm that for me !! n I'm already liking your positive attitude ..so I do trust ya !! THX again !!
i don't understand why you can't use official seus? afaik it doesn't need anything beyond the se logo. power off phone, run seus on the pc, plug the cable while pressing the back key, etc; right?

Sir I've been through that .... for some reason it didnt work for me beyond "plug the cable while pressing the back key" STEP !! i dont know why !! i didnt have any effect watsoever, therefore I couldnt proceed with the 3rd STEP of Updating it ! =(
and is there anyway to Remove the battery !! coz once I use Home+Power Key combo it restarts device ...... is there any other combo to power off the phone, so I can atleast save battery !! anyway m also givin FLASHTOOL a try !!
can't power off? well, try these steps:
start seus on pc
connect phone and pc with usb cable
press both middle and right button at the same time and press the power button
when phone goes down keep pressing only the right button

I'm trying to be calm but stuff like that keeps happening to me !! Kindly guide me with that !! its still green I hold power button n yet its showing no sign of turning on ! =(((
do you see charging battery in your screen? have you waited enough to boot it again and try the steps above?
still, if you need to disconnect the battery, here is a disassembling guide: http://goo.gl/jDd6q

Wow thanks for that Dis-Assembling guide ..... !! I'll ultimately have to try this if everything else fails ....
well I never saw Battery charging on screen !! i think not even when it was working fine !!
I think i'll give it some more time with charging !! coz it just showed me that SE logo again .... but when I tried to restart it .... the screen didnt turn back on !!!
also when SE Logo appears it appears automatically ......dont have to turn on the device ... and then also green LED light turns off ..... Im not sure whether its still charging at that time or not !! I think NOT ! this is kinda dodgy ! what do you reckon ?
no led light, no charge, i think. have you tried triple keys way again? it's kind of tricky, do it carefully.
Yeah I did !! I pressed HOME+Back at the same time and then had to Hold the Home button to turn the screen off ! then I repeatedly kept pressing the BACK button!
actually from there on it started blinking that RED Led light again .... ! I think its still needs more charging .... but then again If it charges enough to power the screen on automatically ..... the Green LED disappears .... so M kinda stuck in the loop here !
Oh God Help me !!

i think flashtool needs a working system.
can you power off your phone or not? if able to do so, seus should work.
so, you have just one option if you can't start recovery: using seus.
and you've two options to start seus: the standart way, or the triple buttons way.
if you can enter recovery, you can try to wipe everything and flash a rom.
these are all i can say about it. hope you can solve it.

When charged enough there's no way to turn the device off ! I've tried both HOME+POWER & HOME+BACK then POWER (holding the back Key towards the end) button none of them actually works ! The Screen keeps powering back on, showing up that Sony Ericsson Logo !
Could it be USB Bricked or something ? (Apparently, since I cant access recovery I cant mount the device)
Try:
- turn off phone
- wait for 1 minute, phone still off
- connect to usb with flashtool
I have almost the same problem, my phone have been breaked several times but every time i had access to xrec or internet to solve problem.But this time when phone dischared for first time n I wanted to start it again I found that it's not gonna boot! Stuck on SE text logo... (I flashed CM7)
now it's charged ( although the screen was on, showing SE) n I have flasher n a rom.
but when i start to flash after showing "start Falshing" on screen (CMD) some seconds pass n CMD shows "write failed" n other things...
When i connect my phone to pc red LED shows itself for some seconds n after it disconnects itself while i'm pressing the back key...
And two questions:
1. Does it matter what the name of the ROM file -in firmware folder- is?...
2. I have to ftf files. on is about 108 MB n the other one 280 MB. Eachone can be a ROM?(I have tested Flasher with both of them.)
tnx

your phone is not broke! Relax! Enter Download mode (Vol. down+ home+ power) and flash a stock firmware of your region or any other stock! Guide here
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS!
If the phone does not boot up and is looping, then simply remove the battery> Reinsert> enter recovery (vol. up+home+power) and do a factory reset and cache wipe and reboot!

if your phone could not turn on, jig probably won't work for you. It is best used for boot-loop or similar situations.

If home is a soft key then you have the AT&T SGS2. Go to that forum and ask for the key combination for download mode. Once you are in download mode flash a rom.

I unbricked my phone with this guide. my phone was in a OS bootloop but it works, in your case, a Kernel Bootloop. Its a very good guide. You DO NOT need to root your phone. When flashing, instead of pressing back you press volume down. The phone should be able to enter what it is called, flash mode regardless of what problems. After flashing ALL DATA WILL BE LOST. Just follow the guide.

Hey there,
So I wanted to boot my phone to recovery (which i had installed some time ago) to make a backup, but the phone would just boot normally.
So i decided to install dual recovery from my pc. When it should ask me for root permission it didn't. I thought it's ok and rebooted anyway.
There is sony logo on the screen, then the screen goes black, the phone turns off and shows sony logo again.
I've dealt with bootloops a lot in the past, but How can i escape this loop if I don't have any working recovery?
Please, help me I'm really desperate :crying:

ah do u know how to get into flash mod!! press volume down botton and plug it with pc .. hope it works if no check if the z2 driver is really installed and flashtool drivers too .. hope u fix ur phone
Yeah I know... Everything installed it just won't do anything besides showing sony logo and restarting no matter what I do...
I think it tries to boot into recovery which isn't there
My phone was bootlooping the other day and holding the power button wouldn't turn it off. I found though that Holding Power + Vol Up for some reason gave it a few vibrates and powered it off.
When phone was off I could then hold down Vol Down and plug in for flash mode and reflashed the TFT. Good luck.

yes of course you have to turn the phone off before trying to start it in flash mode. the power plus Vol Up will power off the Phone after the vibrations. after that you need to keep pressing vol Down and connect it to PC flashtool
I'm having an issue with my phone volume down button. Even though I can physically press it without any problem ,the phone itself won't detect keypress. So I cant even go to download mode.
At first I have tried to clean the cache,dalvic and tried the same rom - not working
Tried that volume up+ power thing while it turn on ... not working
cleaned the phone physically but there were no dust or anything -not working
Installed original rom after formatting my partitions still not working
Still my phone stuck with safe mode. If this issue cant be fixed can anyone suggest me to disable safe mode in this phone or suggest me a rom which is not having safemode function . I know it's really dumb question to ask. But I have no other option to left .
please help me out !
@SLDarKprince, step out of safemode by hard reset:
press Power for ≈5s.
Reboot into downloadmode via TerminalEmulator:
su
reboot download
or into recovery:
reboot recovery

the rom which i used , had power option menu which include "recovery,download,power off,restart". So i hadnt any issue with it. Also at that time it detect vol.down button sometimes. But now.. it dosent work at all
...so it wasn't firmware. And flashing firmware by Odin would be the way to repair any software-bug. But unlikely, that you manage it without power buttons.
A new phone?
