Hi!
I have a Xperia X10 Mini Pro (U20) with Stock Firmware (after recovery with "UpdateService" from SE).
I have installed CWM successfully with "CWMInstaller - Windows - v5".
When I try to install "MiniCM7-2.2.1-mimmi" (or 2.2.2) it says that I need a nAA-Kernel but successfully installs CM7.
When I do a reboot CWM says that "recovery is bad and has to be renewed". After that all I get is the white "Sony Ericsson" lettering (again with the option to start CWM when pressing the back button several times).
So I tried to follow this "Bootloader and kernel guide" and unlock my bootloader first using Flashtool. But when the phone restarts it "hangs" on the white "Sony Ericsson" lettering. When I try again, Flashtool tells me that it is not possible to unlock this bootloader.
My phone is produced 10W42 - could it really be that the ancient stock firmware is the only one which works?
All I want is a more modern and fast (lightweight) android version to use my old phone furthermore.
Thanks in advance for your advice and help!

When you install CWM it is installed in the system part of the ROM. When you installed MiniCM7 it got wiped out, because MiniCM7 is for the nAa-kernel, and in that kernel CWM is built in. Which means it doesn't need to be in the MiniCM7 ROM. That's why you lost it.
And ofcourse it 'hangs' on the white SE lettering, because the ROM you installed does not work with the Sony Ericsson kernel.
You say you unlocked the bootloader, so why don't you flash the nAa-kernel?
Prepare flashtool to flash it, then attach the usb-cable and press home- and back-buttons together to force a restart. If the bootloader unlock was successful the flash will get through and after that, you'll have CWM back and you will continue to boot into the ROM too.
And be very careful not to flash the x10blrelock.ftf by accident, it will definitely break your phone. Best is to remove that from the flashtool/firmwares folder before you proceed.

Thanks for your answer, SmG67.
The problem is, that I have _tried_ to unlock the bootloader, but it did not finish. The "s1tool" still shows a capital R in the version ("RUNNING S1_EROM VER 'R8A029'") which means "not unlocked".
I also tried to install the kernel "U20_2.6.32.61-nAa-06.ftf" but this does not work as the bootloader is locked.
So can you give me a tip, how I could move on?

You should not have proceeded to install the ROM in the first place if you didnt unlock it. Open SONY Update Service in PC, click repair and follow what they say. When you connect your phone to PC for repair, follow what SmG67 told you

I am unsettled now, so I want to make sure to do the right things:
I have "repaired" the phone using UpdateService and made the first setup - phone is now running and USB debugging is switched on.
Then I started flashtool and clicked on the flash-button (U20_2.6.32.61-nAa-06.ftf); followed the instructions but it quits working after phone restart with the following output:

The phone is connected and shows an orange LED and the loading screen; nothing else happens.

Root the phone again with flashtool and then unlock the bootloader using flashtool. After that, you should be able to flash the kernel.

Thanks to your reply, I was able to root the device with flashtool. Afterwards I successfully started Superuser and switched off the phone again.
While unlocking the bootloader (button BLU) with flashtool afterwards it gave me the following output:

There are no errors this time, but again nothing more happens: phone is loading and showing orange LED.
I am surprised of the log line saying that "Bootloader status is UNROOTABLE"?
btw: S1info still gives me a uppercase "R" for "not unlocked".
Can I proceed flashing the U20_2.6.32.61-nAa-06.ftf?

That will fail since your bootloader is still locked. Not sure why flashtool failed to unlock it, but maybe you can try the manual method, as linked to in the opening post of the kernel.

You mean to unlock bootloader with "msm7227_semc.cmd" as stated in the "Bootloader and kernel guide" (from above)?
Because this always leads to:
Code:
process requires standard 2.x android firmware.
Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . .
Getting ROOT rights.
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
and the phones LED flashing red sometimes
Thats not the first device I am using custom firmware with, but this phone resists all my attempts.
Finally I managed to run CM7 on my phone following this german instruction.
My mistake was that during the flash process the phone has to be switched on normally and not to be connected in flashmode (pressing back button while plugging USB in).
Thanks for your suggestions and hints!

So you did the inevitable... you got a phone that's bricked.. fear not.. this happens to all of us.. consider it a "right of passage" when it comes to dealing with custom ROM's
Here at xda, help is never too far away (I was there once too)
I've tried to get you back to functioning latest Local 2.1 with recovery (xrecovery)
0) You'll lose all data with this method....
come to terms with that... not stuff on the sd card but data of your phone, sms'es, contacts, applications etc
1) Turn off your phone
Pull the battery and reinsert it if you have to...
2) Install Flashtool
go here and downlad flashtool
Install on your windows pc
Thank Androxyde and Bin4ry for this kickass tool
3) Download and flash stock 2.1
Go to this thread and download a 2.1 rom in your language of choice (Dont worry that it's not your local ROM)
4) Flash this rom using Flashtool
In the first link there is a how-to. follow it and flash the downloaded ROM from step 3
Once you have 2.1 on your phone,
5) Enable USB Debugging and Root
Use flashtool and root your phone using the simple button "Root" (I know!! what an awesome tool right!!?? )
Once rooted, disconnect the phone.
6) Get yourself a root file manager
Download a file manager capable of root access such as root explorer or solid explorer.
7) Access and edit the build.prop file
Open the file manager. U should get a superuser prompt to allow root access. Touch "Allow". Go to /system and mount the system as RW. there's a file there called build.prop. open it in a text editor. Find all instances of a number that looks like this 1238-9045 (this is my build number, yours will not be the same). Edit this number(all 3 instances) to look like your build number (Found on original box or behind the battery). Save the file and exit
8) Update via SEUS OR PC companion
Now connect your phone back. PC companion or SEUS will tell you there is a new update available. follow the instructions and you'll be running the latest 2.1 for your region and variant of the mini pro
9) [optional] Root and recovery
The new firmware installed by SEUS/PC companion is not rooted. If you need it, root again (same way as in step 5). once rooted, click "Ask root perms" on flashtool. Once root access is confirmed, install xrecovery from the menu.
Hope that helped!
Enjoy
Edit: if you get an error while opening flashtool saying "JVM could not be started because heap size bla bla bla..." Please try on another pc and maybe reinstall windows on urs

Repair it with SEUS or PC Companion.
Step A: leave your phone disconnected from your PC
Step B: Run SEUS/PC Companion, and select update
Step C: It doesn't recognise your phone because it's disconnected and give you a repair option
Step D: Select it, choose your model, it will download the firmware
Step Ea: You get a popup, Press the back-button on your phone while it's off and plug in the USB-Cable
Step Eb: If you can't turn off your phone, plug in the USB-cable and press home- and power-buttons at the same time, it will do a hard reboot and enter flashmode.
Step F: Wait till it's done...
everything past item 3 is pretty hard since we can't acces anything on phone(that's bricking a phone right) to enable usb debugging.
Good tutorial though for those who installed a custom rom and they want to revert to original plus root acces.
Any ideea how to force seus or flash to force flash?

cant flash using SEUS...its saying i have latest version but in reality the phone is already bricked by me and not having the original stock firmware... now it just keeps restart with sony erricson logo and turns off again and bootloop...cant root, cant flash... heard that there is some special modified usb that will make the bootloader enter download mode so that we can flash fresh firmware inside it?

You can always flash... post your model and if your bootloader is locked or unlocked ( since you're on SE kernel logo, i assume it's locked), and i can provide you with stock firmware (E10i or U20i) to flash with flashtool.

hi, i am u20i model...i accidentally locked the bootloader while having nna kernel i think, because flashing customised rom and kernel, my phone will enter bootloop, thats why i pressed Restore inside s1tool.exe, which got my bootloader locked....
and now that my bootloader is locked, and i cant root my phone without turning it on( the phone bricked cant turn on anymore) i cant unlock my bootloader to flash new kernels into it... please do provide stock firmware and rom for me... i can only flash stock kernel, but not the rom... after i flashed the stock u20i kernel, i dont know how to flash the original rom into my phone, since now my phone, didnt have the CWM or XRecover anymore, which can browse my SD card, and install the rom from .zip files....
flashing stock kernel no problem but did not know how to flash the stock rom

Download this, It's the complete SE 2.1 Firmware (Kernel and ROM), flashable with flashtool.
(It's about 213.5MB, although the site may display it's less in your download dialog, but it will keep downloading till it's all there)

Hi,
My X10 mini (E10i) was rooted some months ago.
I decide to install miniCM7.2, so I succesfully unlock the bootloader, then kernel flashing appears to be ok, but when I reboot it, it show a new big logo, and after a while, a kind of animated background was visible. But it loop indefinitely on this animation, freeze, screen become blank, then reloop ...
I can't reboot it, I can't remove the batterie (it's hidden into the device)
Help !

when the big naa logo appears try hitting the back button to enter recovery mode. then flash your rom and gapps, wipe/fact reset then reboot. that i hope should fix the loop

I will, but for the moment it loop but it probably not reboot in loop, since I seen the logo once. And now it's only the screen animation that run 2 seconds, stop, black screen, and loop on screen animation with different colors

Re-flash to stock.
Make sure you garbed the correct downloads.. re-read instructions.
unlocked bootloader? While in bootloop zone,press and hold power button + middle button.phone should reboot, and u can go to recovery and install ROM
Again, how to reflash in the current situation ?
The good news is that flashtool detect the phone, but I can't reflash because I can't shutdown the phone ...
Do first things what i say, if that not work, u should reflash to stock rom with SEUS, with repair mode.
I miss your first post. In fact I wait all the night that battery become empty, and run flashtool, push foward and plug. I probably wait 5' that the phone has enought energy, then flashtool detect the phone and flash it with the stock kernel.
And it's works !!!!
note: the colored screen animation that was looping, was in fact the Sony Ericson logo presentation during the boot

Thanks. This has worked to reinstall a ROM on my SE Xperia X10 Mini
Hey there,
I have a similar problem here, but I can't solve It.
Did a Hard Reset by pressing the Power key and Home Key. I also tried to click the Reset button under the phone cover near the IMEI codetag thing.
I have tried to use the X10FlashTool, SEUS (it only says that i have the newest software already)
When I try to start the phone all i can see is a black screen and nothing else.
Any more solutions i can try?

flash it with SEUS over internet
it will make your device back to stock rom
No phone connected to the computer
Try whith SE PC Suite
- Support Zone
- Start the update of the phones software
- There will be a pop up stating the phone was not found, on this pop up there is a link to "repair the phone" click it and then connect your phone in flash mode.
See screenshot.
Do a factory reset
Sent from my E10i using XDA
I haven't found the guide to unbrick the SE Xperia 2011 "bricked" device, then here it goes.
All of the following worked on my ST15i Xperia Mini Smultron.
So, your device was briked (doesn't turn on and probably blinks its LED).
If your device's LED works or you are able to turn it to flashmode (green LED light) then you can unbrick it using this short guide. In the over case bring it to Service.
Let me guess. Your device was unlocked and/or rooted just before it got bricked. Right? And you have tried to install official FOTA update. Right? I have bad news. After you have unlocked the bootloader the official installer (built into SE Android ROM) will always brick your smartphone. From now on you have to install all the updates and stuff via Flashtool or Clockwork Recovery only.
I assume you have downloaded and installed Flashtool for Sony Ericsson devices. Also I assume all the necessary drivers are installed on your PC.
Download attached file and extract the *.tft from it.
Put it to the Flashtool/firmwares/ folder.
Start the Flashtool, click Flash icon, select Flashmode, select the *.tft file.
Put your device onto flashmode and flash.
You're right, and there is always a need for these things, thank you.
Thank you for your file.
I've bricked my Xperia yesterday after a OTA update before unlocking bootloader with "Test point" method.
For me, worked flashing stock rom .62 with Wotan Server.
S1 tool flashed correctly ROM but still phone won't boot.
Now I have a question, after flashing new rom and "unbrick" the device my bootloader was unlocked and I must retry the steps of "Testpoint" or it is already unlocked?
SOLVED: Did the job hitting "RESTORE" in s1tool after wiping phone hitting "Restore" in Companion and flashing useless ftf bootloader relocker... '-.-
i cant get it to work
ok, can you please tell me exactly what to do after flashing the files on the phone?
i cant get it to boot, i also tried wotan but to no avail, the phone is dead
however let me tell you what my problem is:
my phone is a non branded ST17i (xperia active) rooted. nothing more not unlocked bootloader, no custom rom.
it was updated about more than a month ago (so i doubt it is bricked for that reason).
yesterday the screen began to act *funny* with a strange colored line in the top (i added an image of how it looked like), i restarted it, and it rebooted fine, so i put it to charge, from time to time within 30 *mins* i checked to see if the line was there again, but nothing, about an hour later i wanted to play with it and check whatsapp, but the screen would not turn on, it was totally frozen, as it happened before i just removed and inserted the battery (since this always fixed it), but then, it would not show a single thing on the screen, actually not even the buttons at the bottom would light up (back-home-menu), the only thing that seems to work is the vibration, and the notification led, after a few tries i removed and inserted the battery and put it to charge, but again, nothing, when it is turned off and you charge it, it reacts to touch lighting the buttons and showing the battery level on screen, but nothing, it is actually dead, so i don't know if it is bricked or no.
firstly i tried flashing with wotan, but nothing, i also tried flashing with seus, but nothing, and i don't understand, what to do with you post, i flash the files you posted, but then what?, do i boot it normally or do i need to flash something else?
i would be very grateful with a detailed step by step
If you haven't unlocked bootloader or flashed custom ROM or kernel your problem is very very strange...
First question: Phone will enter correctly in "Download" mode pressing VOL- during boot?
If you connect the device at PC it will be recognized? Launching Companion will detect a "Generic" SE phone or you will display the exact model? Have you tried a repair?
is not that strange look:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572972
to your questions:
*yes, the phone enters flash mode
*yes it is correctly recognized by PC
*companion recognizes the exact model
*i have tried more than twice to reinstall and repair the phone software, as stated before, and the progress goes smooth showing NO errors.
phone does not start, does not boot.
if you have any ideas please let me know

You not need to restore the device because you have already a locked bootloader.
Try to re-flash with Wotanserver with another firmware version.
If problem persist, I think you need to meet local service center...

Thx Man
but The attached file in the main post not fit my problem??
Because I am in my country I can not use this program Wotanserver
Because of the proxy server
try relock the bootloader,and then you can fix it over PC companion.

But after the break cable usb lifting the battery and the back has been successfully reboot by power button
All thanks to you...

Hello, I tried to unbrick my phone, but it doesn't work :/ Flashing is ok, but when I turn the phone it only vibrates and I can't do nothing. Please help me
That might be useful
I have ran SEUS and restored my X10 to Stock 2.3.3
Then I rooted the phone using the newest version of flashtool
Then ran the plugin/bootloader unlock option in flashtool
Then when I reconnect the phone in flash mode, The phone does not enter flash mode and flashtool displays that the phone has been removed and the phone starts up to the Sony Ericsson screen.
Kindly help me and advice on how I can achieve bootloader unlock.
U are doing right thing pal it just the usb connection is a bit poor on our phone. Remove battery for 10-20 seconds, reimsert battery, wait bout a munute, then connect on flash mode. May take couple attempts but the way u doing it is correct

Thank you for the comment. I'll keep trying, finger crossed
I can't seem to get mine past 2.1...... tried to flash after root and all and after I learned the weird recovery process. Flashed one that was safe for locked and unlocked BL but it loops. Even flashed some initD file that the OP of that rom said to flash right after and it is still nil.......

Must have tried at least a hundred times.. Still no luck with mine.. Anymore suggestions ? Anyone ?
Try just plugging it in and not holding back button. Does that work?

Are u trying to flash a 2.3.3 rom on 2.1? If u have u will have issues. If u did above grab flashtool and flash
global generic 2.3.3 firmware. Then flash the rom.

Gave up on fit. I'm sure that its something small but, I'm doing this pro-bono for a friend of mine and its killing me. I've flashed other phones before and nothing this weird. Ill stick to the phones that are one big ass button flash and fix lime my sgs2 and the HTC inspire I used to have. Thanks again for all the help and in site that you all have provided.

Thanks for the reply.
There was no problem when flashing kernel but when I want to unlock the bootloader, it gave me the log below (I'm using latest flashtool 0.7.1.0) :

When I switch off the phone, and connect it back with flash mode (pushing the back button).
I tried several method to unlock bootloader but failed. I've even flashed flashed to stock 2.1, flashed the downgrade kernel and tried to unlock via X10 Bootloader Unlock Tool 0.1.1 (old method, i know). I've check my phone and it is good for unlocking (via s1tool).
Can anyone suggest any method I can try?

Which version of flashtool are you using? get the most recent one.
I had a similar problem unlocking th bl for a friend too and it got stuck at that part bcz i was using an older version of flashtool
I'm using flashtool 0.7.1.0, the latest one, i think.
I've flashed, root and install recovery with no error.
Except unlocking the bootloader..
Guys,
I've finally unlocked my bootloader using "The proper method".
The mistake (i think) was, I was on generic 2.3.3 when I use this method.
I flashed back to generic 2.1 and ran the unlock tool. When finished I check back with S1tool, my device show "r" and not "R" Yeaa...
Note that, I failed to unlock my bootloader when I was on 2.1 and 2.3.3 using latest Flashtool.
Thanks guys.
Hey,
so.. I want to install a custom rom on my X10 mini pro. I have experience on doing this, because I already rooted many smartphones. But this one is just trolling me.
I used this tutorial (sorry, but it's german). Everything went well till Step 4.7.
I plug in the USB cable, let the flashtool get informations about the device, go to Plugins > Bootloader Unlock and run it.
Then I unplug the cable, start the device in flashmode and theeeen flashtool wants to start unlocking, but the device just shuts down for a moment (green light goes off) and then it reboots into flashmode again.
Here is the output from flashtool

Well, seems like I got it. I've installed a custom kernel (nAa 2.6) but now the device won't boot anymore
It stucks at the nAa-Bootscreen. What can I do now?

Can you tell me how? My pc doesn't detect the device if it's in the bootscreen. Do I have to go into the flashmode?
If yes, there's one little problem. I can't turn it off And if I pull out the battery and put it back in, then the device automatically starts into that bootscreen. ._______.
aaaaand.. I dont have any recovery installed O__o

Recovery is in the kernel, use that
Reboot is Home- and Powerbuttons together
If you use the JB-kernel It should boot into Recovery, if that doesn't happen flash the kernel again, that might do the trick. Otherwise you have to press the back-button repeatedly when the phone starts up.

Thanks alot. It helped. Now I am able to boot into recovery.
BUT! I can't install any rom!? I've tried LiteCM and PureSlim.
All I get is this message :
By the way - I installed this kernel now (U20_nAa-jb-03_2.6.29.6-nAa-jb-03)
I also tried to use the newest kernel (U20_2.6.32.61-nAa-06), but I get the same result
And yes, I did a full wipe and formatted /system /cache and /data.
Now I am a bit helpless It's a JB Kernel and also JB Roms, so why won't they install? :'(
Edit : After trying and trying and trying I got the xperiabean installed.. Thanks again SmG <3

I think lightCM and PureSlim both look for kernel version 2.6.32.60. The Old JB kernel is 2.6.29.6 and the latest one (the 06) is 2.6.32.61. So you could edit the updater-script to reflect the correct version.
