Hello, Im trying to flash my phone with Jerpelea`s tutorial, but I cant put this phone in Flash mode, it says to hold the Back button after power it off, but it seems to have no effect at all...
also hold the back buttom while powering the phone doesnt work...
can someone help me please??
Hold back button down first then plug USB in and continue to hold back button
Hello A have the same problem is there a other whay?
Thanks
you have to switch the phone off.. take out the battery for 5 seconds (min).. then.. this is the bit you need three hands for... you need to hold the back button whilst plugging in the USB cable.. continue to hold the back button until the software tells you to let go..
Whill this work for de x10i ??
Resisting the temptation for sarcasm....
Yes, it's the x10i method.

There is only only method for the X10a/i/mini/mini pro/1.6/2.1/2.2 into flashmode, as Mr Iceman has already explained, if it doesn't work for you you're doing something wrong or your phone is broke. To save having to use 3 hands, plug the lead into the phone first, then attaching it to the PC is a much simpler task.
Oki, thank you, I will test it later because I have a bigger problem like I said here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10781800#post10781800

Hey Teio, check if that video works for you, avoid all the information just pay attention on the hardware process:
Turn off phone or take out battery
Conect your USB cable to PC
Open Flashtool
Select Kernel that you wanna flash
Wait for pop up message
Connect your phone
Hold back button
Re Insert Battery
Put Xperia x10 in flash mode
Regards
Press volume down button

I have the same problem, this metod don´t work in the xperia mini pro[SK17i], 'press volume down button' isn´t recognized
whit a command according to forum 'supported devices' . How can i flash this model of xperia now?
I tried to flash nAa kernel(unlocked bootloader successfully before) with flashtool and flastool said it succeed. When i reboot my phone it comes up with nAa kernel screen and reboots again. It goes into an infinite loop within rebooting phone, only showing nAa kernel splash screen, nothing more and reboot. I can reach to cwm recovery. I flashed the latest MiniCM7-2.2.0 custom rom and wiped user data/cache. Same problem remained.
I decided to go back the original stock kernel and rom via flashtool. You know the rest; you select the stock files then press ok then it says "oh, ungplug usb, power off, hold back button and plug in usb again". I did this steps several times but flashtool cant recognize my phone. Not even a blink. The weird thing is, when i power off my phone and plugin usb(not doing the holding back button thing) the green light is on(it is not offline charging i know it) same as it goes into flashmode. I tried flashtool again with hope but couldnt recognized phone again. Even S1 tool cant recognize my phone. It seems completly lost!
I tried hopelessly with Pc Companion and get the same result. I found a post about "Gordons Gate Driver" but couldnt get any result with that. No tool can recognize my phone in flashmode, in normal mode(talking about the infinite rebooting state, not even a blink from flashtool).
Im out of ideas, even out of google . Is there someone to provide me with new idea? Or is there something im missing? Please help.
Thank you for reading my adventure hope someone helps.

You did not mention the model of your phone.
Always mention the model when posting.
In 2011 devices:
Press Volume DOWN key for flashmode(for flashing firmware via flashtool)
Press Volume UP key for fastboot mode(for flashing kernel)

I did mention that it is a mini pro in the title. Is there any other model info other than "mini pro", i dont know? I only know that it is a x10 mini pro.

Edit: Nothing happens. When i plug my phone with holding button(back, volume up or down) green led turns on. But flashtool(or others) says nothing. By the way, computer cant detect my phone too.

Flash the stock rom with flashtool, for that look in the rooting guide in my signature. There's how to root your phone on 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware and there's how to use flashtool and install the firmware.
Is your bootloader locked?
Didn't you make a backup?

Did you install the drivers from flashtool now?
Install flashtool, go to the installation folder>drivers and install the .exe (maybe your phone isn't included in the list, just tick everything which is offered and install all them).
Afterwards install sony pc companion and sony update service, drivers should be installed with it.
So turn phone off and while it's off hold volume down and while you hold it down connect the usb to pc. The led should turn green.
If it's red it could be battery isn't charged, so charge it. If charging doesn't work get a battery of a friend...
Well bro, proceed is said by mihahn, the led is red, just bcz you have installed extended stock Kernel, right???

That it vibrates is strange, normally you just hold volume down and connect. Don't power on or anything just press volume down and plug usb...
But if that's not the problem I haven't found something that may help you, yet

Hey Guys!
So I have an Xperia P, and ever since I upgraded to JB, I have been having several problems. The system lags a LOT. I cannot see any pictures in my Album, though the pictures are there, when I try calling someone it lags so much that the process ends. And it lags a lot when I try picking up such that I can't hear what they're saying for upto 5 seconds. Either that, or it just ends
So I've been attempting to flash a custom OS, but I've been facing some problems. I have rooted my Xperia. When I went on the xda forum to get the flashboot drivers, the link is dead. I installed them from another source.
When I turn off my phone and I hold the power up button, the blue LED light comes on and I go to device manager to install the custom drivers from the SDK bundle. By that time, my phone's blue LED light wouldve gone and the drivers aren't installed. At least I don't think it has. Soo I really need your help on installing the fastboot drivers and unlocking bootloader so I can flash a custom OS. Please help.
Thanks in advance

Which Windows version are you using? If you are using Windows 7 then try this:-
Download this ZIP File.
Extract the contents on Desktop
Now Open Device Manager by RIGHT CLICKING ON MY COMPUTER>MANAGE>DEVICE MANAGER
Now connect your phone in fastboot mode to the PC by holding the Vol + button while plugging in the cable.
You will see a new device in the device manager with an error sign on it. Instantly double click on that because it will disappear as the blue LED disappears.
A dialog box will open. Disconnect the phone and dont connect it.
Go to drivers tab
Click on update driver.
Now select BROWSE MY COMPUTER FOR DRIVER SOFTWARE
Now select LET ME PICK FROM A LIST OF DEVICE DRIVERS ON MY COMPUTER
Now select HAVE DISK
Now click on browse.
Open the extracted folder and select the android_winusb.inf
Click OK
Select the ADB driver from the updated list.
Now connect the phone again in fastboot mode again.
And then click on NEXT. You have to do this very quickly because as soon as the BLUE LED disappears the driver will not load but it will show that it is loaded.
Try This, If fails, tell me, will tell you other method.
pass oturse
Never Mind, I got it to work
But thanks anyways!!
I have another problem now. Since I unlocked bootloader, when I turn my phone off, it automatically turns back on, but after the sony kogo appears, nothing more happens, the screen is still in use, a faint light comes off of it, but it's blank and black. I had to wait for it to run out of charge so i could turn it back on. Any help?
What version of JB you got?
Even that'sresolved now... Guess that the custom OS was just starting up
I have one more though... Hopefully the last one! I tried flashing a stock ROM - ICS for Xperia P (LT22i) with flashboot. It prepared the filesand the pop-up came asking me to turn it off, press and hold the flashboot button and connect it to the USB. The blue LED light came but it never flashed. In the log it also came that a flashboot device has been connected. Help please!

phone is not detected on pc and can't start phone in fast or flashboot,the LED turns green for 1 or 2 sec than turns red then the phone start (sony logo then black screen)
Then install drivers again
Install those from flashtool\drivers folder choose the ones for xperia u,p,sola,go and last 2 optins also, thats fastboot and flash drivers.
Open flashtool and try plug phone in fastboot mode, watch the led, if it start booting remove phone and watch right down on your pc screen to see if its installing. When it finish try again.
This is 99% of these problems...

yes do as said on above post. it couldnt be a hard brick. AFAIK hard bricks only occur if you flash something not meant for your device. except in Z series.

Force power off, press power + volume up untill you feel (1+) 3 vibrations and try.
Try fastboot too and see if there is anything in flashtool log.

if the led is turning green it means you can. but if you dont immeadiately flash stock firmware. it will boot. so you need to prepare stock ftf firmware for your device, choose it, wait for flashtool to tell you to connect your phone in flashmode. then connect your phone in flashmode

You dont need disconnect anything. Your phone is not bricked, its working. The only problem is your drivers, you have to manage install them and it will work. This has been here thousand times.
