I've accidently done system format and wiped my whole phone. When I switch the phone on it sticks on the "Sony Ericsson" screen, I've tried pressing the back button hoping to get back to xrecovery but everything has gone.
I've read a few posts saying that pc companion can fix the problem but after trying that it doesn't find my phone, what has made it worse I don't have any back up stored anywhere to try fixing the problem
Can anyone please help me get my phone up and running again especially as it is my main contact to my son
Uninstall pc companion and redownload and install it,(That should sort the drivers out to recognise your phone) and if that does not work try SEUS
looks like you will have to go back to stock then use flashtool to root and reinstall xrecovery and start again...

Thanks. In the process of downloading both now. Would I be able to go back to stock using either of these as I did not have anything backed up, not even the stock rom....my rom was stock anyway only rooted to get rid of certain apps
As an alternative you can use the flashtool and flash a generic firmware. That will put a stock rom and maybe even get an updated baseband depending on which firmware you grab. Check this thread and maybe bookmark it too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Yes, either of these will put you on stock rom with the latest firmware and baseband for your region and phone.
hope you manage to sort it out...let me know if you have any problems, you can always pm if you need to

Thanks sooooo much for the help with this, downloaded SEUS and saved my phone all the help is much appreciated!!
hey guys, this is my first time i would say i bricked my phone. i need someone to help me my phone has been in 'coma' for nearly 2 days now.
so this happened when i try to apply this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306044 and after i carelessly copied framework-res.apk to system/framework using root explorer without setting the correct permissions, my phone automatically shuts off and try to restart but it failed, it stucked on the big sony ericsson logo and 'sony ericsson' text.
i have pull out the battery hundred times and try to reboot my phone normally but it didnt worked it still stucked on the sony ericsson logo.
so can anyone help me please...
what tools/application should i get to fix this?
first of all, i dont want to wipe/lose/factory reset my phone memory data because that would make my phone contacts gone which i never ever want to happen. so please is it possible to backup my contacts somewhere else if wiping is the answer at least??
okay i took a lot of time to type this and hoping someone give me an answer
Hi, what is your model no? and you rooted it?

i use sk17i mini pro as mentioned above and yes it is obviously rooted
Congratulations, you have felt the power of customizing Android for the first
Actually, one way to fix this now, is to get back to fully stock firmware.
The second way would be to unlock bootloader, install a custom kernel, enter recovery and use Fix Permissions option. Unfortunately, not all Recoveries have this, only some versions of ClockworkMod Recovery. I have used many kernels on my LWW and only some of these included this option and I can't remember which one had, which not.

If contacts is too important for you and you have no backups, then go for the 2nd way - Unlock bootloader and install a custom kernel, which offers the Fix Permissions option.
I will check the Update Service, if Repair option will erase user data or not, currently updating my phone.
EDIT: Yes, removes all data.

If you can access flashmode, then your okay. Just flash stock firmware.
Will check Flashtool option.
Yep, you're correct, Flashtool has option to not wipe user data.

Flashmode - Turn off phone, connect USB cable to your computer, hold down Volume DOWN button and connect USB cable to your phone.
Flashtool guide is in my tutorial.

"Follow this guide External rooting guide but in steps 5 and 12 instead of "rootxperia.zip" use "mini_mod_v1.8.zip". Once you have phone fully booted I suggest to install CWM recovery mode (you probably don't have it now) - CWM installation file - run install-cwm1.cmd and follow the onscreen instructions. Then you will be able to enter CWM recovery via volume down button during booting."

You should probably get a backup app and backup your stuff or either root again and install CWM and backup that way

which guide did you use i i have u20 model and mine is stuck on the white sony screen i cant boot into flash mode cause the phone turns on as soon as i plug it in to the comp i just baught this phone i wasnt even gonna touch it but it only has 2.1 and i cant install anything i have no sleep so i need to know if this neo tutorial will unlock my phone 4 hrs and still on the screen its prolly gonna die soon
plz help me thanks in advance gents
Actually, i think you could've salvaged your phone without the need of flashing it... If you had access to CWM, you could've put framework file into zip file and flash it with CWM. It helped me once when i got stuck in bootloop after failed installation of a mod

its very easy to recover your phone if you got bootloop or stuck at sony ericsson logo. dont sweat.
first of all you need a stock .ftf firmware downloaded. any .ftf stock firmware .58/62/42 or whatever as long as it is stock.
then download and install flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309
then put your downloaded .ftf firmware at c:/program files/flashtool/firmwares/"your downloaded .ftf firmware"
then open flashtool and click on the lightning icon. and choose flashmode.
then press volume down button, while you do that connect your phone to pc using usb then flash the firmwares. then boom your phone back to life

I also had this same problem when installing hybrom v17 with lock bootloader and stock kernel. It helped me a lot. Hit thanks if I helped
Hi,
I checked the forum and try those and it didnt work.
This is the story. i try to install a custom rom to my friend's xperia x10 mini. I unlocked the bootloader. Rooted and installed a kernel Jelly Bean Mini projects kernel. Also install the apk for CWM. After i flash the JB Mini Kernel i stuck at the JB Mini logo. Entering the CWM does not worked. Then i paniced and flashed the custom kernel. Then this time it is not opened only stuck at the SE logo. After that E10i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Sony Ericsson.ftf firmware and flashed via flash tool. This time is stuck in the boot logo loop. It didnt give a chance to flash another kernel again. Opening and resetting again. ALso PC Companion Repair doesnt work because it get disconnect on doing it.
Also i tried home screen and power button to reset and then try to flash mode and it didnt allow me to do it. Do you guys any suggestion. How can i get rid of it and get back to normal.
All helps will be appreciated. Thanks.

yes it will ask you to connect in flash mode.... while the pop up screen shows the image of phone. connect your via usb and press home+back key it will hard reboot the phone, once it off keep holding the back button you will see led turning green and it will go into flash mode and you follow the on screen instructions
let me know if it works

Make sure you're talking about the right model phone, the Xperia Mini and Xperia x10 Mini are different phones. If you have the x10 Mini, then fastboot won't work at all.
Yes, CWM is available by repeatedly pressing the back-button when the kernel-logo shows, and it is included in ALL custom kernels for the x10 mini, just not on stock, so if you flash a custom kernel it is already available without any further action on your part.

Hi,
U really.have my attention there. My friend have xperia x10 mini. I tried to install a custom rom on her device. But I messed things up. Unlocked the bootloader and installed jb mini.kernel and stucked on boot.logo. Then I flash custom kernel again now its stuck.on.boot logo like a loop. Seus repair wont work because it disconnects simultaneously. Also flashing a kernel didint work either. I hope somebody helps me to recovery the device. After that somehow I can install custom rom.
Thanks. I really appreciated.

Yes, the JB kernel requires you to format the /system, /data and /cache partitions in CWM on first boot, otherwise you get stuck, and you'll be unable to install the JB ROM. (Mind you, if it's version 4 of Stelios97's JB Kernel, that's been reported as not working at all)
(Not sure if you're doing your friend a favour with JB just yet, not if she wants to use her phone like she does now, you might be better off with MiniCM7)
Make sure your batter has a decent amount of charge in it, and try to flash this with flashtool, it's stock firmware that should get the phone back working properly.
After that, you can try again with the custom kernel and ROM.

hmmmzzz, sounds like your battery is empty... leave it to charge, preferably from the wall-charger.
It *should* turn on, show the white Sony Ericsson text and then a battery...

If the ftf i sent you flashed without problem, you have the latest firmware from sony, so SEUS can't update your phone from that. What does it do when you connect it to the wallcharger?

I connect to the wallcharger and try to power on but there isnt any Sony Ericson logo. its just 1 moment bright screen and some kind of reboot i guess. Then a bright screen and then dark.
Do you know what is the problem here?
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.

The only advice i can give you for now is lock your bootloader and try repairing with sony pc companion.
Pc companion will not work on unlocked bootloader.

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

OK, my mistake. but yes i did it by flash mode!
This is no hard brick. This is soft kernel brick. A hard brick is when you can't enter flash mode, and your phone is dead(cannot power on) you can get a hard brick if you are some crazy dev :-\ who constantly brick his phone lol

Did you get any error?
If no, means that your bootloader is now locked. Try installing again stock rom via flashmode or repair your phone using pc companion.
Don't remember where, a user told that had a similar issue with another device and solved it using this tool: http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/
Read the instructions on how to install and use this tool mate.
had similar issue. will try using those methods and see if work. thanks

Have you tried installing a custom rom with flash tool?
Planning on getting rid of the xperia software and flashing Cyanogenmod, However I cannot for the life of me seem to get fastboot! I get a driver popup about S1Fastboot? but it wont take any of the drivers I've downlaoded from the various sources on here for it.
The fact this phone gives no indication its in fastboot mode is more annoying.
What am I doing wrong?!
Have you flashed with flashtool or PC Companon before?

Wasn't using any tools like that, Good old fashioned ADB. Got some drivers working eventually.
Not sure if you can help with this problem however, Trying to flash ANY rom, I get status 7 error (It appears CWM is bad)
Any ideas?

Status 7 just means there was an error flashing.
Depends which rom (ANY does not tell me much) it might be you just flashing ROMs that require their own kernel/CWM to be flashed.
Now if you give some details, which ROMs are those "ANY" and what CWM(or kernel) you are using I might be able to help.
Updated CWM to a later version than whats in the Q&A thread, However once I tried to flash a ROM, Im now stuck at the sony logo/splash screen, Cannot get into recovery to sort this out at all.
