I installed MiniCM7Pro_V21 on my U20i after following the procedure correctly (rooting, flashing, xrecovery etc..). It was working well..
Then my friend told me to try an app called Viber. When I installed it, my phone IMEI number was gone (also SIM card was not working, had to buy a new one) and wifi was also not working..
I recovered back to 2.1 using the backup made by xrecovery (I had made that backup when installing MniCM7Pro_V21)...
Then I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.5 using xrecovery. This time I just selected 'Install Custom ROM' in xrecovery and installed the ROM. While installing, it showed an error which was something like 'error: flashing kernel not done...' but it installed successfully.
When I reboot my phone, it is stuck at the Sony ericsson logo. I tried to go to xrecovery using Back + Power. It doesnt work..
Anyone please help.....
Ok it sounds like you flashed a rom for the mini and not mini pro. Looks like you have to use a software called SEUS (sony ericsson update service) to recover back to 2.1

Thanks... I used to SEUS and it's working well now. Thanks again...

can you let me know how you updated your u20i particularily instaling xrecovery, i'm stuck here where flashtool hangs at recovery selector with no version available...
I want to update from 2.1.1 to anything later so i can run apps that need froya or later...
Installing CM7
step 0: verify your software version then & download ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201116, download xrecovery
step 1: take backup of all contacts & all data you nee from your phone
step 2: remove memory card
step 3: do a factory reset
step 4: all the following steps worked fine for me, & you proceed at your own risk
step 5: enable USB debugging on your phone
step 6: connect data cable run superoneclick .exe file after extracting
step 7: after you get the message of success
step 8: run the xrecovery .bat file which will push the xrecovery files phone
step 9: after success message reboot phone with back key pressed continuously while sonyericsson logo appears for first time
step 10: you should be in recoveryconsole, if not check mistake and repeat step by step. If yes take backup of phone so that you can recover to the same old state
step 11: mount sdcard, mount usb send the CM7 v21 or whatever to USB, unmount usb/sdcard click on install custom ROM select the CM7 zip file
step 12: after completion of installation mount again in xrecovery and mount sdcard & USB copy all contents & backups to computer, delete all android 2.1 x related software folders [dont forget to copy data from within them before deleting]
step final: you reboot for the first time with your CM7 ready.
copying of folders & cleaning can be done with the old/2.1x system too to speed up.
all files needed are linked many times in this forum. search it if you don't have.
Help!!! I bricked my x10 mini while rebooting through recovery
Hi everybody, I am using x10 mini with cm7 (gingerdxv19). last day i have installed the gingerdxv21 and after successfully installing it I rebooted the phone via recovery.

I unlocked bootloader with this guide:
http://androidevil.blogspot.com/2011/12/guide-unlock-bootloader-xperia-x8-w8.html
Unlocked with flashtool, just remember you need to update your x10 mini pro to latest stock rom 2.1 via seus(if seus tolds you that your software is up to date,click repair software), after that enable debbuging mod and root via flashtool (first link up)the device before unlocking bootloader!!!
To load into flash mode:
1.open flashtool
2.hit thunder icon and choose Flashmode
3.choose the file you want to flash (put the file in firmware folder) and press ok
4.switch off your x10 mini pro(the flashtool guide will walk you trough)
5.hold the back button (right down corner button) and when you hold it, plug the device via USB and the flash will start.

Does the phone lands into flash mode?? Connect the cable to the pc...then hold back button and connect the cable to ur phone...if green led glows, you are saved...then use SEUS software to flash the stock rom...if the LED doesnt glow,then the only way to get ur phone back is taking it to nearest service center...all d best mate:good:
Try to connect your charger many times... Sometimes the socket may give some problem...
I too had this type of problem many times. I just tried to wait. Sometimes it took the whole night on charge to bring back to cwm or the battery symbol.
Remove SIM, memory card battery. Let it drain the all the ram for 2 min. Then insert the charger at the phone end and finally the USB end to avoid shake at micro USB end.
If you expect the charge is low or 0, please try to put external charger, charge battery and insert.
I have flashed at least 15 to 20 times..... I have faced different problems. But cwm. 7.2.2.1 is the best of all...... Although 7.2.2.2 has already arrived....

You need to make sure you have enough charge. The phone normally starts blinking red after few minutes or more if its dead and connected to charger. Then the continuous red and so on.... Sometimes even if you insert USB it won't respond if its dead.... Please take enough care before deciding....

Hello,

So my problem is:
I got a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray AV 2.3.4
Today i installed the bootloader with fastboot and i follow this tutorial
Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Ray:_Full_Update_Guide (on cyanogenmod)
its a CM7 Sony Ericsson Ray Tutorial //i can´t post the link here....?!
I used the newest stable mod (update-cm-7.1.0.2-XperiaRay-ST18i-signed.zip).
but after the last step, i reboot my phone and the only that i got is the CM7 loadscreen...
So thats why i try Wipe Dalvik Cache, wipe cache and factory...
Than i reboot again with the same result. Only the CM7 loadscreen.
Than i want to try flash an other ROM but there is no longer a Bootloader on my Phone...? Why?
Fastboot is possible but no data transfer and no debugmode or anything else.
Please use search and questions thread

There is no need to panic it can fixed, but first look to fix it yourself and make sure you no what you are doing and how to put it back if it doesnt work, should always read the whole thread of what rom or kernel you are flashing to make sure you understand in first
Hi, first of all, sorry about my english. I think it's terrible.
I have a SE WT19 stuck on FXP bootloop.
I had installed a custom kernel, but i guess i did something wrong.
At first, my cellphone is on bootloop (in some custom ROMs) or just on black screen.
So, i tried to flash a new kernel with flashtool, or a stock Rom with PCCompanion, but my device is not recognized by Windows 7.
Also is not recognized by Linux, or Mac.
The kernel that bricked my LWW was wt19i-live-rage2.7-kernel-for-fxp-cm7.
There is something possible to bring it alive again?
Ever uninstall and install all drivers and tried in another pc, aways shows the same message.

My phone was rooted and unlooked bootloader. I tried ALL CM7/9/10 roms posted in the xda development forum. I have the latest flashtool installed, also the latest drivers. When I connect my phone in fastboot or in flash mode, nothing happens,, cause my pc (and flashtool) do not recognize the device.
Okay but what happens when u connect ur phone to pc while pressing vol up button(without running flashtool)?does the blue led show & pc doesn't recognize it?if yes then go to device manager on my computer & see whats the problem with ur device,try installing it from there.Another question,can u get into CWM?

Nice then ur phone is perfectly okay :good:
just try another pc
or
unistall all related to ur device(flashtool,drivers,android sdk,pc companion,google usb) & reinstall.If that even don't work I suggest u to do a fresh install of windows.
See if it's a problem with the USB port. Are other devices connected to that port recognized? Some of the USB ports in the old PC at my home keep showing that message whatever I connect to it

The phone doesn't seem to be bricked. Try using Flashtool on another computer. Make sure you do have those fastboot drivers(when you first connect your phone to Flashtool in fastboot mode, Flashtool gives you a notification that drivers need to be installed for the device. I confirm that the ones provided in C:\Flashtool\drivers work for LWW )
(Always make sure the kernel is compatible with the ROM you're trying to flash)
Start with the stock kernel(the one provided inside the CM7/CM9 zip - boot.img). Then flash the relevant ROM and see what happens. Once that works fine, start tinkering with various kernels out there.
Don't worry, it's just a soft brick
I haven't bricked my WT19 yet but I did soft brick my former X8 and Someone else's Galaxy something...
What I can advise you do is flash the whole stock .ftf ROM from Sony, just search for the 4.1.B.0.587 firmware, flash it and start from scratch.
About your pc not recognizing your phone: how then did you flash the kernel?? Do have the Sony PC Companion installed on your machine? I have it just for the driveers, I know Flashtool comes with them but I rather have the offiicial somethimes... I think MediaGo also comes with them.
Anyhow, I hope you can get your phone working. Let us know how it went

Hi guys,
All tests done.
Other pc, or OS, do not recognize my device.
Tried another notebook, tried another windows version, another Linux and MacOS, nothing works!!
So, this process of kernel change could cause some hardware damage?
I really can't change the kernel in cwm recovery?
Just to recall, I can change the battery, got the phone in fasboot/flash mode, got CWM working, install new ROM but, or finish with bootloop or with black screen.

Hi guys,
I'm not an Android expert, but AFAIK is a Linux system.
I'm quite familiar with Unix/Linux world and wondering if there's a way to see the messages during boot just like on a console?
I'm asking, beacause my ray hangs at sony-ericsson logo, and can't figure out what's wrong with it.
Thank you!
to solve problem .. flash your stock .ftf again with flashtool
Well u can use adb for that...use adb logcat...search in xda if u don't know how to use adb...it will give u a complete log as u need

try to flash custom kernel again , then u will have CWM , then remove your SD Card and put it in reader , then put any ROM in it , then put it again in ur phone , then flash it with CWM , i made that before with CM ROM & it worked :good:
I tried to flash cutom rom with cwm before flashing stock, but didn't work .

Do you know why it's not booting? Did you flash a new rom, did you install a special app, did you do an update over the air (using WiFi)? Or any other idea?

I flashed a custom rom.
Actually, i was on ICS, and wanted to try custom GB illuminative.
Flashed the v10, everything was fine, but Ant+ wasn't working, and dev of the rom was helping me to get ant+ working on the device, so he added things to rom required for ant. I did flash some times the rom without issues, but the last was unlucky .
By that time, my BL was locked, so I had to root my phone to install cwm.
Interestingly the cwm was gone after each rom flash, not sure why, so I had to take the process over and flashed GB .42, rooted with doomlord, script, installed x-parts, then cwm from x-parts, and then flash custom rom from cwm.
basically these were the steps I was doing, and after a cwm flash of the custom rom, the phone ended hanging at sony logo.
I then tried different kind of stock firmwars ( ICS, GB ) to flash with flashtool and SEUS as well, without any luck.
afterwards, I unlocked my BL, flashed cusotm kernel with flashtool ( containing cwm ) , then flash a version of the illuminative custom rom which was working before, but still the sam. somebody then advised to flash again a stock ftf, I did a stock GB .42, but still the same.
now, cwm is gone, as stock kernel overwrote the custom one.
That's the story .
As i remember i can enable usb debug even phone not boot to system. By charging phone with pc(not standard charger) then hold power button and at windows(or else) will ask for driver
Ps. I did that with X8, didn't know with 2011's phone.

Hmm okay you could try to flash the unbricking ftf (you can find it in someguyfromhell's sticked thread) and afterwards stock gingerbread or ics again, but I don't know if that could work or maybe make it even worse (normally it's to unbrick if you did an ota update on unlocked bootloader, but let's see). Maybe it's worth a try
The problem about cwm that's gone: if you are still able to boot into fastboot mode, you can flash another kernel and for example try to install cyanogenmod or any other rom. Just try cm10 or cm10.1. Maybe in the end a rom will boot
Sent from my SK17i running stock ics (.587)
tried, and still the same.
The only reason I can think of is that I may forgot once to enable usb debugging, and used flashtool with usb debugging off. could that lead to this kind of issues?
How could I enable usb debugging, without being able to start the phone OS?
tried eswawan's advise, but didn't work.
PS. when I connect the phone in flash mode, flashtool says phone connected with USB debugging off.
Is you connect phone(off) to pc then it goes to offline charging mode???

No, USB debugging off shouldn't lead to such a problem
Try to reinstall all drivers for all devices/modes from flashtool-> drivers. Then you turn the phone off, take off battery, wait 15 seconds, reinsert battery, hold volume up and while holding volume up just connect the phone via usb to your pc. The blue notification led should light up now and then you should be able to flash another kernel. Try it again

during my unbrick journey, I did reinstall my windows, and drivers, and didn't help, so I don't think it would make any sense to try once again ...

With the procedure I posted above it shouldn't simply boot to offline charging mode, so maybe it is a driver problem. Try it step by step like posted above, maybe it could work. If not it was worth a try

what does it mean if it goes to offline charging mode, also what does it mean if it doesn't go?
PS. not sure if it's right, but when I connect the phone to pc, connects in flash mode, even if I don't hold vol down, the notification led is solid green, then the led turns off, Sony Ericsson appears, then the battery with the power sign and finally notification led turns orange. when I short press power button now, the battery with power sign shows up on screen.

Normally while having phone switched off and just holding volume up and connecting to pc the blue led should light up and you are in fastboot mode. If it goes directly into offline charging mode are the wrong drivers installed or you do something wrong or phone is hardbricked...

Umm...as much as I cud understand....u have used sus before flashtool with unlocked bootloader which MIGHT cause the problem...Try these steps(@mihahn though mentioned earlier) -
1. Uninstall flashtool and delete everything related to it.
2. Now reinstall it to your c: drive.
3. Go to C:/Flashtool/Drivers and install flashtool-drivers.exe with all the drivers.
4. Now download this http://www.multiupload.com/Q103V01CV1 and keep it in C:/Flashtool/firmwares(delete everything present in it already)
5. Now start flashtool.
6. Remove battery from your phone and keep the battery out for 15 sec.
7. Reinsert the battery hold down vol-down button and connect your phone to usb cable connected to pc.
8. Now click on the flash icon and select flashmode and flash the files.
9. Now download this - http://www.mediafire.com/?2j7i7rruqxnui3q
10. Now keep it in firmware folder. REMEMBER to delete any previous files prent in the folder.
11. Now go to flashmode in the same manner and flash it.
12. Now boot your phone, it must start
Cheers,
AJ

Sorry, I think I wasn't clear enough. I thought I should be connecting the phone without holding any of the volume buttons, just to try if it's charging in offline mode. Here's the exact status.
1. If I do not hold any volume buttons, the phone goes into flash mode ( solid green led ), and after a short while ( 20-30 sec ) led turns off, Sony Ericsson logo shows up, then goes away and battery with power sign is displayed when I short press the power button
2. if I hold vol down, phone behaves the same way as at 1.
3. if I hold vol up, phone goes in fastboot mode ( solid blue led ) and stay solid blue, it is not going into charging mode.

I may not be clear enough here either. I didn't use sus after unlocking BL, I know it bricks he phone, anyway, I did flash the unbrick ftf mentioned by mihahn. here are the steps I did so far :
1. I was on ICS ( Iced Bean 3.4 ) , with BL lockedand phone rooted and wanted to try custom GB illuminative.
2. I flashed the rom with cwm, and everything was fine, but Ant+ wasn't working, and dev of the rom was helping me to get ant+ working on the device, so he added things to rom required for ant. I did flash the rom several times, without issues, but the last was unlucky .
3. Interestingly the cwm was gone after each rom flash, not sure why, so I had to take the rooting process over and flashed GB .42, rooted with flashtool, installed x-parts, then cwm from x-parts, and then flash custom rom from cwm.
4. and after a cwm flash of the custom rom, the phone ended hanging at sony ericsson logo.
5. I then tried different kind of stock firmwares ( ICS, GB ) to flash with flashtool and SEUS as well, without any luck.
6. afterwards, I unlocked my BL, flashed cusotm kernel with flashtool ( containing cwm ) , then flashed a version of the above mentioned GB illuminative custom rom which was working before, but still the same.
7. somebody then advised to flash again a stock ftf, I did a stock GB .42, but still the same, now, cwm is gone, as stock kernel overwrote the custom one.
8. tried to flash someguyfromhell's unbrick ftf, which is for the FOTA brick whith BL unlocked, as I understood.
9. reflashed stock GB .42 with flashtool, but phone still hangs at sony Ericsson logo.
In this status, could I connect to the phone using adb, so I could do a adb logcat ?
If so, please advise how.
Thanks.
@nroberto13 Do you mind telling us which ftfs u flashed?
Cheers,
AJ

IF your phone doesn't boot you'll need to use USB cable and flashtool or fastboot to recover, but since your usb port is broken i guess there's nothing you can do sorry
I would send the phone to sony service to get the usb port fixed...
Edit: one more thing, candy rom is not stock based and requires an unlocked bootloader, if you didn't unlock your BL before flashing that's why you bricked.... but you could still recover if your phone usb port worked.

Flashing any stock rom should fix your kernel problem now either flash a .ftf with flashtool, or try recovering your phone in sony pc companion.
I prefer flashtool for flashing as i never had problems with it and it's easy to set-up and work.
If you don't know how to use flashtool take a look at this: http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/06/01/debrand-your-xperia-z2-tutorial/
Hope you get your device fixed :good:

Humm weird, try flashtool once again, maybe with another .ftf or another pc, select all wipes, choose flashmode, make sure your phone is completely powered-off, when flashtool asks to connect just keep pressing volume down and plug the usb cable. flashing should start fine now.

Nope after 1 minute flash mode turns off automatically soo now here is what I did
Step 1 downloaded sony c s
Step 2 installed supprot
Step3 press update device without contcing to pc
Step 4 chose repair
Step 5 go with it and put it in flash mode
Step 6 before it finishs it will take a long time
Then it will only charge you can't press the power button for some reason
Step 7 go to flash tool start flash mode and it will reboot automatically
Step8 you will be in safe mode go to settings and format the phone
Step 9 it will reboot and into normal mode
Step 10 root through king root and termanil to make it a real root not temporarliy
Step 11 enable usb debugging and install recovery
Step 12 copy the rom from pc to recovery
Step 13 installed the rom everything is amazing except for one problem
I still can't press the power button I don't think it's hardware help me
That's it thanks for everything tell me if you know anything about the power button
@Sal7_one Wow that was way more complicated than it should but i'm glad your phone is working again :good:
Did you open your phone to fix the usb port? or did you send it somewhere? unfortunately the power button situation does seem like hardware problem...

But one more problem sim card does not work yes I went to repir it thanks
@Sal7_one humm pwr button working when it wants and sim card problems... that sounds like a bad repair job they probably left a cable / connector loose inside your phone :| i would take it to the same place and make them check / repair the phone again
