Go to sony website, search and download SUS, factory reset and update, but then you have to root again i guess.

HELP!!! after searching all the posts i cant find a fix for this, i was running Team Rom on my X10, decided to change to MIUI prime, for some reason my phone then wont boot up after reboot? just stays on SE logo,I tried the SE PC companion, and after running the update process there, it returned error: there is no software available for your phone at this time??
I cant find any reference to this anywhere online??
Has anyone come across or know of a fix??
Thanks in advance
Get Flashtool. Look in the dev section.
just flash back your original firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733 using Flashtool and redo the rooting back..back to your MIUI Rom flashing problem..did you read the cobrato method of flashing locked/unlocked bootloader?? if yes..after flashing the MIUI Rom completed using CWM5..immediately flash lockedBL.zip (i presume your X10 is locked)..then reboot
I had a similar problem, I screwed up flashing between roms and the phone wouldn't boot up. I ended up wiping everything, on phone and sd card. I really screwed up! I tried SEUS repair but it wouldn't let me, my bootloader is unlocked so that's why I suspect. In the end I flashed a stock 2.3.3 rom and went from there, all's good now. As for SEUS, even re locking the bootloader didn't help, something to do with DRM, not sure, at least flashtool is a life saver
you could always try the Update service from Sony, saved me a lot of times as that little gem
Flash back to 2.1 generic firmware using flashtool.
You'll need to find the 2.1 firmware on Google(its an xda thread). Then via flash tool flash that firmware. Now everything should work.
I hope you know how to put your phone in mto flashmode
Sent from FeraLabs v;3.0 Rom + patch +theme = best Rom ever for my x10. (Xda Premium)

Hi guys
I recently upgraded to ICS(Stock swiss one) and after using it for a few days without problems I flashed a kernel. I don't think it was meant to be flashed on ICS, so I reflashed the stock kernel again and now my phone doesn't get service and the IMEI is blank in service menu. Does that mean my phone's bricked?
Try to flash the ICS kernel?

I flashed the whole ICS firmware and that solved my problem, thanks though
xperia s is generally very hard to kill, as i cannot imagine how can you loose fastboot or flash mode those are handled by software not designed to be altered and noone would ever want to
I was trying to deodex my rom and my phone got stuck up in bootloop. now it won't start. If I connect the USB the LED is red! I couldn't get it to flashmode or fastboot
Edit: It's the battery after charging for sometime I got into fastboot...
oh huh! while playing around I mistakenly flashed cache.sin as boot in fastboot! :-S
Guys,
I need help here too, i'm not sure if i did it correctly. This is all about rooting my XPS.
1. Updated to firmware .75
2. Waited for ICS 4.0.4 and updated.
3. Unlocked bootloader
4. Used flashtool , rooted with pre-rooted img available in XDA
5. flashed recover-img
6. flashed kernel.sin
My device could not boot into system instead it went to CWM Recovery Mode. But now it works fine. I can browse through my device. I'm still not satisfied with the way i've rooted my device.
Is there a way that i can do a clean reset and update ICS 4.0.4 and root my device with proper guide. I don't seem to find an easy guide here as some of the guide does not specify where to go bout getting something.
Thanks
Hi folks,
I have been playing around with my old X10a and spent a few days trying out different ICS roms.
After a bit of a play I decided due to some bugs in the roms I would try out some 2.2.8 roms.
All of the roms I tried would not install with CWM 5 recovery and the version of ICS I was running would not load Amon Ra.
Enter the stupid part of the day.
I flashed the generic firmware that shipped with Flashtool and locked the bootloader.
So now I sit at the startup screen and it will not load the ICS rom, I can't get into recovery, and flashtool won't load a later firmware because the bootloader is locked.
PC companion when set up for repair mode comes up with 'no software available, try again later'
Any suggestions?
Cliff

first thing.
Most stock based roms here are to be flashed via xrecovery not cwm so it wont boot. Also they require a different kernel than the ICS/cm9 version.
Also ICS/cm9 works only for unlocked bootloader.
You just need to flash a generic firmware to your phone via flashtool. You can find links in my signature. Flashing works for flashtool too. put the phone in flashmode and flash the stock firmware

Thank you very much for that info.
At first I was going to reply that I had already flashed 3.0.1.G.0.75 and then I noticed the files you linked to were much larger.
Lesson learned, not all firmware files can just be judged by the number.
Thanks again.

Hi Everyone
I have been readind pages on this site for a while, I have a Xperia mini pro sk17i on UK O2 and I would like to remove the O2 and Sony bloatware along with the facebook rubbish. With a you tube guide I have made a back up of my existing rom using flash tool, I have tried it seems in vain to find a standard rom, the type you have on a unlocked phone from the UK, the mny guides are a bit confusing i have the4.0.2.A.0.62 build and understand I need to down grade first, I did try this a few weeks ago but my phones screen locked up completely luckily at the same time as i had used a foreign rom by mistake so I reflashed and pulled the plug part way through so a little triangle apperared and O2 repaired it and had to replace the screen it seems, that crapped me up a tad. So I thought I would get some advice this time. So im looking for the r4ight rom to flash with then root to remove the rubbish. Apologies if this has been brought up before but some of the liks I go to say the roms have been removed.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
Mark
P.S if my rom back is helpfull please let me know I can upload it or email it to you.
Check out my signature there's a step by step guide how to root and then Update to .62 again. Then you can uninstall Facebook etc

Why weren't you able to update? Something wrong or just no notification for the update?
You can flash the update via flashtool, but for that you will have to use local-prop and push-root-files method as far as I know...
Yes flash the baseband you had before or the recommend for your provider/region. I don't even changed my baseband, so I don't know much about the baseband
Hi Again
Ok flashed again and then flashed to baseband 64, radio works interweb ok super user icon shows up still no update but i have no wifi at my home only hard wired. Now how do i get rid of the crap please?.

You have to use wifi, otherwise you could update to .69 firmware version. Download from here the 4.0.2.A.0.69 zip file to install via cwm.
Download x-parts from playstore and install cwm. Then do a backup and flash the zip via cwm. Do a factory reset, wipe cache
and davlik cache and you should have superuser installed and it should work
If you don't know how to use cwm, ask here and I will tell you exactly what to do!
Hi

Best stable custom rom for locked bootloader? Don't know on gingerbread there aren't many custom roms and on ics there are only a few like real ics lite and MiniCMSandwich...
I'd stay on stock gingerbead rom, best rom for everything
I managed to root the phone but on each custom ROM I tried thats listed as suitable for locked bootloader (3 different ROMS)
I had a stuck black screen after the SE words after powering up.

Did you wipe data/factory reset wipe cache and dalvik cache (and on some roms required format system) BEFORE you installed the zip file?
Yes I done the wipes & formats. All CWM installs gave me black screen no matter what options & roms I tried so I used flashtool & put on 4.0.4 after 4.0.2.A.0.69 just to get the phone functional & to try it out for speed & problems. Will have a crack another day when my hair loss grows back

When you want to install custom roms like real ics and similar ics roms for locked bootloader, flash them through cwm when you are on ics. If you have been on gingerbead before, it won't work, but if you are on ics, it should work
On 4.1.B.0431 I dont have root or CWM so I will no doubt get a headache when I next have a tinker around.
Im actually shocked I didnt turn it into a paper weight!
hey there..im still new and of course still noob in android development...about 2 weeks ago i flashed my devices with ICS..its running well, and last night i flash the custom ROM..dynamic room...its running smoothly, and i decided to use sspeed kernel for xperia U..after i flash the kernel using cwm 5.5 and after all it can boot up anymore...trying to solve if by flash it again with the stock firmware (ICS) still cannot..and i enter the fastboot mode, the devices disconnected after a few minutes..not even reached the half way of flashing process...

Your flashing hasnt even started.
Turn phone off and leave the phone unplugged. Plug in flashmode - vol down + cable in when there is a pop up that says do so. . Green light shows the right status
Never use gb kernel again in combination with ics rom.
