X10 mini cannot root - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

I cannot root my E10i even by the instructions on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906742
SOC stucking at "waiting for device.." and then it is hanging up (not responding).
NB. I turned up usb debugging on and it is connected in just charging mode. the phone is connecting on pc companion. then why SOC cannot detect it ? And it's 2.1.1.A.0.6

In the Q&A section you ask a question in which you say you rooted your phone already... What's the deal?

yeah i rooted it last year. but after that i replaced my battery from Sony Ericsson Service center and i think they updated the software. so my device is now UNROOTED. but now i can't root my device, the SOC is stucking on "connecting device" everytime i click on "Root"

Hey guys,
Z4 does not work for this fw. I know this because I was on .504 for ages because that was the first fw for 2.1 here in NZ and the upgrage to then newest didn't come until late Feb. Best to use superoneclick. Start with debugging off. When it says waiting for device turn it on, then when it loops the first time turn it off then back on straight away making sure to keep it on charge only and not mounted to your computer. Your device will then be rooted. i have a rooterd and xrec'd 2.1 .504 fw that i can post a link to if thats easier for you but just let me know.
Cheers,
evilbarcode.

Make sure you are in debugging mode.
Under application>development setting> turn on debugging mode.
And try the rooting method again.

Hey bro,
also dont use the link provided for superoneclick. Search xda for soc-v1.7 at the very least. It may have been updated again not too sure but thats the one you want.

Works for sure

I had a E10a with 2.0.A.0.504 until today when i update to 2.1.1.A.6 (E10i) firmware.
I can guarantee that Z4Root works perfectly because i used it until today morning.
You must be doing something wrong, did you enabled the debbuging option?

Yeah i did. This was ages ago when i tried it. When the 2.1 first got released for our phones. So if its been updates then thats cool it must work but i gave up on it and just used soc instead.

z4root should work for you, make sure your device is USB Debugging mode!

How to restore original firmware

That's easy, if your phone is bricked like too many people do it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS2LIuy6YfY
That's what I tell to many people do and they said it works, so stop spamming the sections speaking: "My cellphone is bricked, help me!". Hope it saves your life too
UPDATE: According to our friend, the updated version of PC companion doesn't work anymore, so please check the instructions on this video!

Hello.
I'm having problems with my XPERIA x10i phone. This morning I was changing the case with new one. The full case, not just the cover. And then, my software was stuck in a loop at the Sony Ericsson logo. I tried installing the software with PC Companion, Update Service, FlashTool and none of them seems to work! They all stuck at the same place!
What could be the problem???
Thanks in advance!

I thought of that and I've reassembled looking at this video youtube com /watch?v=JVBTCgAzkY4
I did everything like in the video. If I didn't put anything correctly, the phone wouldn't start... :/
Any specific ideas to look for?
Thanks a lot!
If you had the battery disconnected during your work changing the case (and you definitely should), then put your phone to charge in wall plug for at least 15 minutes (or even more) and then try to turn it on...

After flashing I'm facing the problem. Now, the phone just shows the lights on the screen, no SE logo...
The flashing finishes perfectly with no errors and the phone is connecting again in flash mode with the green LED in the upper part. But, when I try to turn on the phone, just the blank screen is lighted, no logo...
Is my phone dead?
I think so
Sorry I can't help you.
Edit. Have you tried another firmware/re download the file? Just in case. Good luck bro.

In the service center, the guy told me something about wiring the phone under the battery. That was the last hope for the phone...

What is your exact model? Because you stated you were running Gingerbread 2.3.3 on it... Was that the original firmware it came with? I think you need to be in this forum, for the 'big' X10, and not the X10 Mini (e10i).

[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 !!
Thanks to:

The problem is caused by adb.exe not closing on it's own, so when you do something that require adb, it's just sitting there outdated. When you try to do something else that require adb that's why you get that. Just kill it with task manager before do something.
