Bad mistake... You must NEVER flash the bootloader relock... Sorry for telling you, but youve got yourself a hard brick, which means you probably have to take your phone to SE to repair it...

any chance

No, somehow the part that always allows us to get into the phone, the 'flashmode', somehow gets destroyed by the x10blrelock, it needs to be reset and the only way to do that is with a JTAG machine.

same thing with me
same thing happens with me :crying:

Yeah, same thing happened to me too. :crying:
Who the F thought of putting a firmware by default with that software, that bricks the phone like really bricks it?!

The person who wrote Flashtool owns an x10, the big version of our phone, and the x10blrelock.ftf works fine on that one, so you can't blame him for including it.
However, nobody ever recommended or said you should use that to relock the bootloader on the x10mini or x10mini pro and nobody ever said you should even flash that to your phone.
I can understand people doing it by accident, and that's a shame, but whatever is on these forums can be hazardous to the working of your phone-model and people should understand things before they go ahead and change things and be careful.

[Guide] *Updated* Better explanation to unlock you bootloader.

Tip: if the flashtool not regonize your phone, use pc companion to install the SEMC Usb Driver
to let flashtool regonizing your phone.
howto do: use pc companion, do what it says,
if it says: you have already the new update, press recover, he install the SEMC Usb Driver,
then press cancel.
Now you have the Semc Usb Driver installed on your Pc/Laptop.
Updated with the new kernel from DooMlord.
read this carefully:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087
i do this:
1: Please make sure you have enabled usb-debugging in your current rom before starting with this!!
2: flash the azuzu kernel downgrade ftf with flashtool
then do this and download this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256430
if it no respond just wait, i must have his superuser action regonize
then do this:
3: after unlocking is finish you have to flash azuzu kernel upgrade
4: now power on phone to check if the phone is starting after the unlock (if you are using a custom kernel yet with the bypass method and get stuck in a bootloop enter xrecovery and clear dalvik-cache, then your phone should boot up again fine)
power off phone and flash X10_2.3.3_DooMKernel-v06-FS-BootManager-v1.4.ftf
with flashtool
now reboot your phone and go to XRecovery and install the zipfile: x10_gb_DooMKernel-v05a-FS_wifi modules
power on phone again and if everything is right, read the line under that one
WOOOHOOO!!! Here you are with unlocked bootloader, custom kernel directly loaded AND without reflashing any rom, means you have kept your current installation
Doom his files:
Flash this with flashtool: http://www.multiupload.com/ISV5FMZHJ0
install this with xrecovery: http://www.multiupload.com/XMB0OO8PWH
i do it like this and it works !
Important !! If you are using the Unlocking Bootloader tool, just wait, do nothing,
He must get his acces to superuser, look at the letters/numbers in the tool
[*] >> run ADB in tools as administrator of x10 bootloader dont work, after that it works !
press hard but safely the Thanks button !!
succes !!!
p.s. i help a friend yeeyon1990 and myself and maybe more.
Its working !!

This is just a rehash of the guide in the sticky in this section by lukas
It is not an easier method, using flashtool 0.4.2.0 is the currently the easiest method.

Bricked E10i

My mini is running vanilla 2.1 (rooted) and after I try to install Theme (trough xrecovery) and it got bricked (stuck at white SE logo) and the worst of all it can't be turn off. I already try to recover using SEUS, Flashtool but all of it unable to detect the phone. What should I do to recover it..??? If I take the phone to SE service center (it still on warranty) it's going to take 2 week for them to just flash the phone. I greatly appreciate any help/advise to recover the phone.

well actually Sony Ericsson in my country doesn't had the same rigid standard about rooted phone. As long as no hardware had been compromised the warranty still fully apply, the only downside is it's took 2 week for them to just flashing the phone.

X10i or X10a bricked..!!! pls add a comment..

Hey,
'm curious to know, how many X10i are bricked, cause of any reason, just add your specific location, so we might help each other..
Here let's start with me:
Xperia Model:X10i
Bricked on: 5 March 2012
Location: Mumbai, India
Description: I had installed a custom rom and then I tried to install few apps, this was my 3rd custom rom and it crashed, didn't start ever after that..

I had the same problem as you recently.
Lost xrecovery, phone not booting, flashtool not seeing phone...
The only thing that fixed it was the flasher at wotanserver.com - someone mentioned it in a post here on XDA.
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/
Its free but you have to sign up...but it is well worth the 2 minutes.
Its all automatic, select your phone and thats it.
It flashes back to GB2.3.
Then you can use flashtool to go where you want from there.

If you say youve tried all possible methods-then the phones knackered.If it was me I would have
Try a different battery
Hardwire a battery
Try using a different pc
Try every version of flashtool
Try x10 flasher
Leave battery out for a while
Then after trying several times some of the above,and still nothing,It would go for repair or on eBay

xperia u touch fail after bad fw flash

hi ppl.
I was flashing my xperia u via flashtool when i realize that the fw i was flashing was for xperia sola. (dumb, i know)
I didn´t get too nervous , because knew that i could always reflash with flashtool , the right fw again,so i let finish the flash and reflash again , but this time with the fw for xperia u!
now the problem is that the touch screen is dead , no response at all!
I already try, to reflash a dozen times, i used seus repair option too, but the result is always the same,no touchscreen!
My bootloader is locked , i tought that a locked bootloader could prvent this kind of thing from happen, or am i wrong?
Now guys any ideia how to try to fix this, without taken the phone to a service center?
If ur Boot Loader is Locked .....
Try To Restore with Sony Update Service
"i used seus repair option too, but the result is always the same,no touchscreen...."
i already try that, but no the probem persist!

So you saying that the digitizer broke?
How in hell bad drivers(i suposse is the drivers) can destroy a perfect piece of hardware?
Well ,the best solution is change the digitizer?
Sorry all this questions,but iam really intriged by this.
flashing wrong firmware can broke the digitizer, i dont know why happening this, so the best way for me to get out of this situation is to change your digitizer. note that screen and digitizer is seperated to each other.
probably because the sola has "floating touch"...
that must have pushed the hardware while trying to use it when it did'nt exist on our phone .......resulting in a screwed up digitizer
if its still bootloader locked, just flash a stock rom and get it repaired under warrenty..

Hi guys
I have my phone now,come today from service center.
The report from the repair says that they change the touch and repair the contacts in the digitizer connection sock.seems that the problem wasnt new and some st25i came out with some defect in that sock.
So that make me wonder if the thouch stop working because the wrong firmware i put in or the hardware problem they report.
Well nevertheless i have the phone running again

Xperia u touch sensitivity problem.
I am facing the same problem.Yesterday I tried to put the ftf of xperia go..and now the touch sensitivity of my phone stopped working.Then after reflashing it with a proper ftf and relocking the bootloader i updated it through the SUS.and now it works fine with the usb mouse but touch is not working. So if i give it to the service center will they provide me the service in warranty or i have to pay for that??
You'd get it in warranty most likely

Just curious, making a mental list of what/what won't boot
[ If I've Helped Hit THANKS ] | -raison d'être- | [ ST25i ]
So if the phone is generally booting and working after flashing different ROM, maybe there's a way to flash future JB update from Xperia P to Sola or Xperia U??? Replacing only the drivers of touchscreen to avoid problems like in this thread.
What about image resolution? ksonu03, if you flashed GO fw, UI and other graphical elements were properly displayed on Xperia U???
st27 stop working

flashing gb will not work
Since u said u relocked the bootloader I think it will no longer be repaired under warranty coz unlocking the bootloader itself makes warranty void despite u lock it again

FINALLY !!! Unlock Bootloader on Arc/Neo/Neo V after 12w14 !!!! EASY AS 1,2,3 :)

Hey guys,
I wanted to share a great method to harmlessly unlock the bootloader on Neo and Neo V which works on every device (before and after 12w14). Simply follow this steps:
EDIT: Use it over GB firmware, or flash ICS kernel after using this fix if You are on ICS and want to keep it, otherwise You will get bootloops!!!!
1. download this program:
http://www.2shared.com/file/xfkXTzdB/ZeroPercentFixTool.html
2. Register Your IMEI number on this site:
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
and let the code be sent to You by Sony Ericsson to your e-mail.
3. Then open zeropercentfixtool.exe (remember to have all the drivers installed)
4. Copy the code into the program, click fix it and connect the phoine in fastboot mode.
5 After that it is better to desconnect the phone, and flash ICS kernel, than all should work perfectly
Voilla, done
You finally have unlocked the newer versions of xperia Neo/Neo V ))
PS. nevermind that the program says zero percent fix tool, it unlocks the bootloader as well. Tried on my Neo V 12w9 and 12w31 and it's working like a charm
Hope You enjoy it !

I alwasy get this message
windows was unable to install your s1boot fastboot
windows could not find driver software for your device
im using xperia neo -v!!! and what is the buttons for going into fast-boot in xperia neo-v?
i always press the most right button and then hook the usb cable .no need to press power on button all right?
and i don't have to root my phone first .. another problem which i haven't even started,
Did u install flashtool drivers? Be sure to select ur device and fastboot as well as flashmode drivers. Nd I thinks theres no need of root in it. The menu button is fastboot button. Hold it nd connect ur phone to pc via usb. Reject the pc companion prompt. And follow to OP. Nd if ur on ics keep an ics kernel with u.
If I helped pls press thanks

i manged to do it.
and then now it keeps showing the Sony coercion logo then witches off and then again nd again keeps showing the logo!!
and nothing else, like keeps rebooting!
Alright, I'd like to clear something now. If I lose my DRM files, what exactly do I have to my disadvantage? Also, if I unlock my bootloader using this technique, can I lock it back? If yes, how and then after I've locked it back, can I get to the latest original firmware from Sony using SEUS/PCC?
U CANT!!! I JUST used this guys method
my phone keeps shoing siny ericson logo for a while then reboots nons top and keeps stills hwoing it againa nd again!!
I haventused it fora while. But isnt it the menu button?
Lately i just use flashtool for kernels.....

Yes u can lock bootloader using dis method nd flash original firmware. U lose drm i.e. U ll lose track id nd music unlimited n such apps. Bt once u unlock nd relock u wont gt ur drm back by any method nd will lose warranty. And ur device wont b recognised by seus or pc companion. Ull have to flash using flashtool.
Pls presss thanks if I helped u

If BL unlocked officially, warrenty is VOID, no more official updates and DRM is lost.
U lose DRM for ever if BL is unlocked by official method. TrackID app willnot work.. this is what i have in my knowledge.
I never minded in unlocking it.. since i dont use it.
If you know what you are doing, then no problem at all.. so i unlocked BL officially.(no option,, manufactured 12w14)
If unlocked by unofficial method, then u can relock it.. search in the forum to gain more knowledge..
What would happen if I unlock my bootloader officially and mess while flashing ROM? I know about phones being brick, but have no idea of what is a soft brick and a hard brick. Someone to enlighten me?

You're right
Sorry for no responses, I was away.
To clear this, You need flastool and fastboot drivers, they can be found in flashtool folder for example. For fastboot drivers, You can try to download them (use google or XDA search) connect Your phone in fastboot mode( blue LED) and manually point them for windows to install.
As for ics kernel, the best way is to complete this fix in fasboot, reconnect the cable, then flash ics kernel and that's all

Yes, indeed I myself, couldn't figure out the 'official' method, something was missing, but with this one it's much easier
