Hello,
i tried to put minicm9 on my x10 mini. It has work but sim card is not detected.
After that, i made a big fault
I used s1tools to relock my phone (by restore button) in order to see if my sim card becomes detected
Now, my phone doesn't start (led blinks one time and vibrator and no more)
I tried to use SEUS to restore stock kernel but it says i have the latest release and no button to force
With flashtool, i can't flash another kernel because my bootloader is now relocked and i have nothing in pluging menu
Any ideas of what i can do to have my phone starting ?
Thanks and regards

Hello,
i have already try this but SEUS indicates that i have the latest version of software and no other possibilities offer by SEUS except "exit" button
i got a.ftf file of generic 2.1-update1 that you can flash with flashtool if you want
pm me
Disconnect your phone from your computer
in PC Companion, go into "support zone" choose update
It will say: phone not found and give you the repair option

Thanks, i tried also this manip with SE PC companion but as SE Update Service, it says that i have the latest version and no way to repair
If you disconnect your phone from your computer, it can't say you have the latest verstion because it cannot find it and it will give you the repair option.
Once you click that, it won't check for phonetype or software anymore, it will let you select a model, download the firmware and flash it.

Yes, you are right for SE PC companion
After select my model, at step 3 (update) when i plug my phone, a window opens with "no software available for your phone, try later" (in french with my se pc companion but i translate, well i hope)
very well translated indeed no problems there
just strange that it can't find a firmware for your selected device, does PC Companion connect to the internet? top right corner of main screen (PC Companion settings), proxy settings, test...
If that's ok, then i'm lost too, sorry

perhaps, if i could unlock again my phone with flashtool in order to flash a kernel...
but, plugin menu is empty.
No idea to force something to have plugin menu available to unlock ?
Nevertheless, thanks for your help
I have no idea, the unlock bootloader option is only available if you're on 2.1 (eclair) 2.2 (froyo) or 2.3 (gingerbread), and your phone has ICS at the moment, so that won't work i guess... i am really lost about your problem, I would think maybe try the repair a few more times, maybe SE had a server problem or something, but other than that, i don't know...
I wish you luck
one last thing...
maybe repair your phone with your sim-card removed may do the trick...

I've read somewhere that other people with french firmwares have trouble updating via PC Companion and things, maybe you could flash the nordic or uk firmware that is lying around on the forums here in de dev section and then try a repair after that,
You can flash firmwares with a locked bootloader, just not kernels. (sorry, i hate to see such a lovely little phone go to waste)
You can still select french as your language if it works...

Thanks a lot,
but could you help me again ? in your zip file, which file should i flash ?
Is it nordic or uk firmware that you speak or another thing ?
Regards
It is Nordic, but i don't think that will be a big problem
You unpack the .rar file and put the .ftf file into the firmwares folder found in the flashtool-installation folder
Start Flashtool - Press the flashbutton, choose the .ftf you just put in there and connect your phone in flashmode.
If the flash is succesful, turn off your phone and try a repair with PC Companion.
Fingers crossed...

But there are not .ftf files in .rar file (amss.sin, amss_fs.sin, cache.sin, fota0.sin, fota1.sin, kernel.sin, loader.sin, system.sin, userdata.sin).
Should i rename a file with .ftf extension and in this case which ?
Thanks
Sorry, i found the possility to create firmware in flashtool with these files
After flashing, i success to update with pc companion (not with seus)
But i am again face to my original problem, the phone doesn't see the sim card (i tried with others sim card from different operators)
I don't know if you have an idea about this issue, but nevertheless, thanks a lot for your help
Try the steps in here, It may work..
Basically,
(I guess your bootloader is still locked, otherwise, lock it again)
do a repair without your simcard in your phone
do a full boot without the simcard
once it's booted, don't set up anything, but turn your phone off again
put your sim in, and reboot
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

Hello all.
My Xperia X10 Mini Pro is stuck on bootloop as you can see on this video
http://youtu.be/EhaBn0uuSvE
It just got like that from one moment to the other..I was using stock ROM
I tried to flash with Flashtool with these ROMs
U20a_2.1udpt1_Generic
ST17i-Active_4.1.B.0.431-1254-6360_SONY
On the first ROM it gets 100% successfull but still cant boot !
This phone was bought on Portugal, so I dont know if the ROM makes any difference..
Need some advice please !
I've read somewhere that Gordon's Gate (part of Flashtool) can still access a phone even when it bootloops.
Could you document what steps you already took? Perhaps link to the article you followed? (Below is a list of certain steps one usually takes when installing custom ROMS, but they are by no means always necessary, could you perhaps indicate what you already did?)
Rooted Yes/No/Not Sure
ClockWorkMod installed Yes/No/Not Sure
Unlocked bootloader Yes/No/Not Sure
Custom kernel Yes/No/Not Sure
The location of where the phone was bought will not make a lot of difference for the ROM. It might affect things like hardware keyboard layouts, but there are fixes available for those. But things like specific baseband and firmware are still important. By carefully reading the description, you can usually check if your phone can be used.
To be honest, I only have used Flashtool to flash new kernels to my X10 Mini Pro, for just installing another ROM I use ClockWorkMod.
What you can try:
Unbrick through SEUS: here (video)
I've read about people unbricking their devices with PC Companion, here.
If you should be able to regain access to the phone and still want to tinker:
This ROM works nice with the stock kernel
Later, you could unlock the bootloader, flash custom kernels (nAa ICS 04) and install ROMS needing such custom kernels (the U20 ICS ROMS, like MiniCM9)
Should you feel the need to ever unlock the bootloader, use this tool
Cheers and thanks for your post !
I used SEUS and updated to latest firmware but still no success on booting. It stills the same...
Rooted No
ClockWorkMod installed No
Unlocked bootloader No
Custom kernel Not Sure
Any chance that you can point me a stock rom and stock kernel to see if it boots that way?

Don't update, repair... leave your phone unplugged when SEUS searches for updates, it can't recognise your phone when it's not connected and will give you a repair option. choose that, and make sure you select your phone from the list presented. it will then flash original kernel and firmware to your phone.
Don't know which kernel you flashed before you got this bootloop, but the second rom you mentioned in your opening post isn't even for your phone, so i guess you got confused with what goes for your phone. You don't even get a kernel logo, so i guess you flashed a kernel for a different model altogether, or your stock kernel got corrupted. a repair should fix it.
I'm now updating on PC Companion like belgianguy said
If unsuccessfull I'll follow your instructions, thanks a lot in advance !
Same on PC Companion..no boot !
SmG67, I dont see any repair option on SEUS. It detects the phone and says thar it's updated. If I remove the battery while is searching my phone it keeps saying that it's updated. What am I doing wrong ?
On PC Companion I got the Repair option, it repaired, but...surprise...still can't boot !

That's a shame... because you now have all official sony ericsson firmware on your phone, kernel and rom... If it's still not booting the kernel, there's nothing you can do about it, maybe a repair-shop might be able to fix it.
Well, a repair-shop isnt able to fix it because the mini-usb port has bad contact and they consider this phone out of warranty because of that ! It almost never happens that bad contact..

Well if it's that far gone it might very well be a hardware issue. But just to be sure, could you start Flashtool and see if it still recognizes the device (see screenshot of what I see).
If it isn't able to, an older version of s1tool had an IDENTIFY option that required you plug the USB cable into the computer (but not in the phone), to shut down the phone, then push the BACK button and then plug the usb cable into the phone.
The bad contact you mentioned might be causing troubke as well, are you sure it isn't the cable that is at fault? Perhaps try to attach the USB cable in such a way that its not stressed and so that the phone cannot move (to prevent it from disconnecting due to a bad contact). Your flashes very well might have gone faulty because of that. But then again, the SEUS/PC Companion flashes seem to have succeeded, so hopefully Flashtool can shed some light here.
Hi chaps,
After trying a gingerbread rom and finding it too slow, I see most other roms require a custom kernel for best performance (and being able to use most other roms!)
Anyway, I'm running through the tutorials in the stickied Guide in this forum and during the unlocking the bootloader instructions it keeps telling me to switch my phone off.
Now it doesn't mention having the phone plugged into the PC at any point in that section but I assume you have to for the SE Tweaker tool to work .
My problem is that in the first couple of steps I'm told to turn my phone off yet as it's connected to the PC, it keeps switching back on to charge ie. it's not staying off.
So naturally me being afraid of bricking my phone and it being a first time for me, I haven't progressed past this part. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Turn your phone off and leave it disconnected from your PC
When the unlock procedure asks you to plug in your phone, press the back-button while you connect the usb-cable to your phone.
This way you enter flash-mode, which is what the tools require.

I can't seem to enter flash mode :/
I hold the back button and connect the phone to the pc. Initially it installed some flash driver onto the pc and then booted up as normal.
Now it just boots up as normal no matter how long I hold the back button (throughout the whole process so far)
Does having xrecovery have anything to do with this?
Thanks
Edit - my antivirus was quarantining s1tool.exe! derp.

Help
Hi,
i don't know if this comes under this section also,
i lost the post that i was using to update my x10 mini pro from 2.1 to 2.3 after my pc freezed and restarted.
So my SE finished the update but it's stuck on the Sony Ericsson text on boot up in faint brightness.
I used flshtool 0.9.0.0
rooted the phone and installed busy box.
restarted the phone with the blue screen menu a selected the NAa kernel from SD to load.
After that rebooted the phone then sony ericsson text came very bright then it starts to faint to minimum and nothing else happens.
If i connect flashtool i will get the following:
02/046/2012 14:46:55 - INFO - Device disconnected
02/047/2012 14:47:16 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off

i even tried SEUS but nothing happens it would ask to reboot in flashmode and the device will enter flashmode and nothing happens.
also tried to restart with the blue screen menu by pressing power and the back button multiple times and back with volume + and - nothing occurs.
I downloaded ver 0.9.1.0
and tried the force root and here is the log:
Any solution ?
Thanks in advance.

You have to flash the kernel from flashtool:
Put the kernel zipfile in the /firmwares folder where you installed flashtool
Choose the flash-button
Choose the kernel
Connect your phone in flashmode and it will be done (if your bootloader is unlocked)
You can not install a kernel from the sd-card using the CWM (blue screen) menu
The reason your phone doesn't boot up is because your ROM and Stock kernel are not compatible
If you're succesful in flashing the kernel, you should be fine.
There is no need to root your phone before you flash the kernel, and the ROM is pre-rooted.

In your original post you said you tried to install the kernel from sd-card using the CWM menu, which is impossible
I suppose you have to unlock the bootloader first, in flashtool it's under the plugins-section.
But you first have to make sure it is safe or you can brick your device doing that
Go find the post where you got the kernel from, it will have a link to the bootloader unlock tutorial.
Use that to get instructions on how to know if your device is safe to unlock.
Then use the bootloader-unlock in flashtool's plugin-menu to unlock the bootloader.
Then flash the kernel.
stuck on text sony erricson nothing else can be done
Yes i did the root and unlocked the bootloader.
and loaded the kernel from SD card using CWM menu.
It was asking to load the kernel from SD card,
i wish i could boot with CWM to give you the exact steps.
The device was i guess able to work but i read somewhere in forum to try rooting again using force psneuter
and that was when things changed on the device cause i used to see in Clean Root icon in flashtool lot of apps and commands in red now only ls: in red is there!!

You can NOT flash the kernel from the sd-card
Only from your PC, and your phone does not need to be rooted for that, you only need an unlocked bootloader.

Ok I understood that part.
My question is how to fix my device if possible, i made a mistake somewhere there and don't recall cause i gave up after i looded the rom i think from SD card.
it's over 2 weeks and now i have some free time to try to fix it with the hope of getting someone here on in the forum to help me out.

1-Support Zone
2-Start

will press on repair phone.
4-Phone software update, continue
5-Personal data will be lost tick the box ( i understand that my personal ....) next
6-Please select your phone ( will select U20i) next

hmm, weird, normally the only problem there is that SEUS says there's no firmware available Keep pressing the back-button till it actually starts flashing.

Gentlemen, I couldn't find a section for Xperia Pro, please excuse me if this is misplaced.
I rooted my MK16i from ICS 4.0. according to a guide here on XDA forum, with no problems (from 4.1.a.435 .. i think).*
Then I installed system tuner and backed up the bloatware and what I believed was obviously named as packages that support them. Things were working great and the phone gained some performance improvements.
UNTIL, I installed Viber and Skype, and niether were working. I thought I would fix it by restoring all the backed up services and apps. Once I did that and rebooted the phone, it became useless
THe phone keeps rebooting. I get to the XPERIA loading screen and then it restarts again
I tried to connect it to the PC to flash another ROM with the Flashtool, but it is not recognized. All I get is in the computer screen a removable disk drive, that is not accessible.
Note: I didnt update the firmware after I rooted.
Can anybody help?
have you worked with flashtool before ? because there hardly could be any wrong with flashtool. use the latest version with proper drivers.
and since you have rooted phone, have you unlocked your bootloader ? if yes, then flash any custom kernel, go to CWM, then place rom zip on sdcard and stright flash rom via CWM.
flashtool should work though. you can try on different computer.
If flashing a kernel or installing custom ROM sounds a bit out-of-reach, you can always go for the repair option in PC Companion. It worked for me when I had soft-bricked my Neo V (it wouldn't go past the SONY logo). However, be advised that this repair option will erase your phone's internal memory. Also, your phone will be brought on the latest stock ROM, so you will need to root your phone again.
Good Luck!!! :good:

I tried to do somethingn like this but sony companion itself cannot detect the phone either.
My question is, is there a brick that cannot be fixed? I took it to a shop today and still they cannot fix it.
Have you tried to use sony update service?
How are you connecting your phone to flashtool?
Can you show us log from flashtool?
New development:
Now I tried to flash the phone with flashtool 32bit rather than 64-bit and it detected the phone! I could even flash the only firmware in Aeonworld's post Here.
Now I can see the phone connected in my computer.
However, the phone still won't boot but when I power on it gives black screen and after a short while, the led on the side becomes green.
For some reason though, I cannot continue with the rooting steps in his guide.
So anyways, after the second reboot, not the first for some reason, the phone gets detected in PC Companion, and I installed the update and now it is working again :victory:
Thank you all for your support.
