No, pc cannot recognise mobile as it keeps rebooting.
unsure of first question.Dont think it is
While rebooting try to hit adb reboot-recovery using adb..do it before mobile gets off.
Also try button combo just to see weather it can enter into recoveru.
Good luck:thumbup:

Hi mate have you tried to go back to original software with SEUS? LINK - http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/
Then you can just re-root etc with flashtool. work's for me everytime. Good luck should work and cant hurt to try.

If you run the flash from an open cmd prompt, it will not close at the end and you can see if any files were skipped. Missing loader.sin can cause wierd results.

EDIT: by the way did you install the latest FW? are you able to root? i`m trying for about 15m withous sussess
Dist,
Anyone know why my phone can not turn on? When I press power button, it's just flashing a red led and nothing with black screen. Is it because of 0% batery?
had to the flash from sues twice the second time it gave me the option to restore factory defaults
I have x10 mini.....
bootloader unlocked
flashed [KERNEL] nAa-ICS-02
I can flash any kernel.....then I can flash any rom....(Cm9 I want ))
but rom never boot never started.....when I open the phone appeas the logo of kernel and then restart the phone...and I can't remove baterry..
wipe all data, cache, dalvik-cache .....I did it all the times
Also stock kernel with 2.1 original min x10's android don't run...the same problem...Appears logo of sony ericsson and restart...Someone here said that may be in a different baseband...The phone I bought from Vodafone store.....
Seus can't recognise my phone so I can't do a repair...What can I do?
How does SEUS nog recognise your phone? Can't it recognise your model or does it say no updates?

Leave your phone unplugged from the computer when you ask SEUS to search for an update. Since it won't recognise the phone it won't find any updates and assume your phone it broken, so it will give you a repair link.
Click on it, and follow the steps.

This is stock firmware for the E10i for flashtool, move it to the firmwares folder and flash it like you would flash a kernel.
It's 2.1.1.A.0.6, baseband *4015, with a loader.sin for unlocked bootloader.
Let me know if your phone works after flashing this.

Don't know, I think you did something wrong somewhere, but glad it helped.
On the ICS kernel, only flash ICS-roms that state they need that kernel.
If you want Gingerbread, flash the nAa-GB kernel.

After all forgive my english and i will appreciate every answer!
Yesterday i was installing a custom rom, eXperience Innovation (the ROM with JB). and there was no problems. all the process went well and the installation finished correctly. i followed all the process how it was described in the thread and reboot the phone. Here is where the problem begin first the system get stuck at the sony logo (for much more time than usually takes when you install a rom) so i reboot again the phone and now it doesn't start.
Actually when i push the power button the green led flashes and nothing else occurs. i just can connect it in flash mode and fastboot mode
I've tried to fix it with pc companion but it says that the phone has a custom software that can't be updated (sony error 2003)
then i tried to install a stock kernel with flash tool but it gets stuck in the process. i tried by flash mode and fastboot mode several times and with different kernels but it doesn't work.
by the way i can't access CWM.
Please any help will be appreciated!

You have unlocked bootloader, right mate?
Sola didn't get official jb update.
When you install jb for first time you have to wait till your phone boots properly. Could ask 15-30 minutes or even more. The key is to be patient.

It's not a kernel mate it's an ftf file. You have to flash it via flashmode not via fastboot mode.

Sooo.. i understand that you have allready root rights.
Iff you do... here is an ideea:
1. go to android market and download RebootManager
2. install.
3. this app has the power to make you happy .
4. press rebootmanager > press reboot to recovery... give app root right...
5. and... voila you are in recovery. Custom recovery(if and only if you installed the right and good recovery for your phone)
hope this helps you.
Ohh.. one more think: TWRP is way better then CWM. My opinion.

Hi. I am sory that is not working.
I have thinked about what you sad. Try this:
1. Load the scatter file that is in the firmware: MT6572_Android_scatter.txt
2. Try to flash without the accumulator pluged off.
3. Plug the cable after you pressed firmware upgrade button.
If this is not working, i will try to find something that is working, when i will have some time. From time to time check this post maybe i will find something and i will upload here.
Good luck.
