Try this:
1. Pull battery off the phone
2. Wait 15 seconds
3. Insert battery
4. Hold volume down and while holding plug in the usb. Just volume down, not power or anything!
5. When the green led lights up, flash the unbricking .ftf and after that a generic stock firmware.ftf (for example .587)
Hope this works

as far as one knows if bootloader unlock allowed no, your device cannot be unlocked. maybe there other ways that I dont know.

I followed the instruction.. However, when I type in "fastboot boot boot.img"
Only "<waiting for device>" was get and nothing was going to be continued
Therefore, I would like to ask..
1. Does my phone's bootloader really unlocked?
2. Anything wrong in my process to install custom kernel?
Please help! Many Thanks..
* Sorry for my poor English... I am japanese..
May be my question is silly, yet I couldn't find its' answer throughout the night
It looks like it worked.. What does s1tool say when you use the identify button? On the loader and simlock number it should have a small "r" instead of a big "R"
Also check your connecting the phone in fastboot mode (blue led)
Hope that helps.

S1tool should tell you how to connect your phone to identify, just press the identify button (in S1tool) and see what it says (you need your battery in and no test point required for "identify")

It seems like it worked, have you installed the fastboot drivers on your pc?

You need to unlock your bootloader.Go to X10 Mini Pro General and search for my All In One guide.
I will also suggest to try with different data cable....may be problem with your cable....I faced same problem earlier but after replacing cable everything was fine...!!
Hey bro, did you fixed your problem. I have the same problem, I can't go into the flash mode. What should I have to do?
My even doesn't want to show me green diode at all. All the time it is orange.
Try to HOLD the back button,do not immediately release the back button as soon your phone connected to flash mode

any help highly appreciated
You should have posted this question in the retrospective thread and not in dev section, but while you are here. Did you do what it said and connect your turned off phone? You didnt say! I suggest you read the how to unlock bootloader thread fully and then try again following the guide step by step and fyi if your phone is sim locked to a network provider then you won't be able to unlock the bootloader until the sim lock is removed. All the info and answers you need are within this forum so use the search button

I also had a DEAD bootloader. It took me arround 4 hours with different tools but nothing. Of course the PC recognize nothing but SEMC flash device in Device manager (only when from poower off I plug the cable USB with back button pressed). Finally I launched Companion (with phone unpluged) > Support zone > Repair phone > X10 and now it asked me to plug the phone (powered off and with the back button pressed), and it started to download and install. It took some time so I was tired, so went to sleep, letting it in update progress. In the morning I found some steps ok, and I think one failed (I can't remember which one). I was started it again the S1 tool and now it says that the bootloader is alive, similar with the report of S! from here: http://i-amhereforyou.blogspot.ca/2012/06/unlock-bootloader-for-xperia.html
But the bootloader is locked, with no ROM installed on it, so FlashTool can't unlock the bootloader because the version of the rom is not recognized, so the option Unlock is not in Plugins...
FlashTool is useless I think because it can't flash a ROM because the bootloader is not unlocked and it can't unlock it because the phone has no ROM !!! What a pain...
I think that the only chance is to have the phone completeley restored to stock rom unloaded bootloader, but at least to have it booting in android, so I can check "USB debuging" to start the unlocking process by FlashTool.
But Companion (neither SEUS) are unable to install the factory image for an error that I can't remember (I am at work now, I will try again when I will go home).
If someone know anything else to try, please let me know.
After hours of tests I advanced a small step (from DEAD bootloader to alive), and I hope that it will still have a chance to be resurected.
Thanks
