THIS TUTORIAL IS ONLY FOR HARD BRICKED DEVICES.
HARD BRICK MEANS NO FLASHMODE AND NO FASTBOOT.
IN ORDER TO PROCEED DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR DEVICE IS REQUIRED.
IF YOU HAVE WARRANTY,STOP READING THIS, GO THE SONY SERVICE AND PLAY STUPID.
AS AFTER OPENING YOUR DEVICE, YOUR WARRANTY IS 100% VOID.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE.
YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
Let's get started.
1. Download tools.7z from attachments and pack for your device.
2. Install ggsetup-3.0.0.7.exe
3. Open the back cover of your device.
4. Find the test point (See attachments).
5. Disconnect a battery, connect a usb cable. LED RED will start to blink.
6. Using the paper clip connect your test point with the GND. I used the metal shield in the middle of the motherboard.
7. Open the device manager, you should see SEMC Flash Device. If no, you did something wrong.
8. Disconnect your phone from computer.
9, Repeat the step 5.
10.Run the s1tool and select S1 MSM8974 EMERGENCY for the phone type.
11. Press the flash button, and choice the APP file for your device.
12. Press testpoint ready and repeat the step 6.
13. Remove the testpoint and press READY, when program will ask you to do so.
14. If flash was successful, you may disconnect your phone from usb, connect your battery and try to boot.You may have to charge your battery.
15. Now you can flash your device normally using software.
P.S.
I was not be able to flash on windows 8 64bit, but I flashed without problems on XP.
I would like to thank:
the_laser for making the software.
myevilface from support.setool.net for finding testpoint for c69xx.
and my poor Z Ultra which I sacrificed trying to find the test point
Actually I finished him when I wanted to fix audio jack.
Was to happy that my device is fixed and damaged the screen connector
UPDATE:
Tool for converting TA.img to TA_unbrick.SYN_FILE_SET
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I helped you to save money, you can buy me a beer or two, which is cheaper than a new motherboard.
Maybe stupid question : Do you think with this testpoint mode there is a way of unlocking Bootlader although it is not permitted by the provider?

There is option to unlock boot, and it asks to do the testpoint trick, but I did not test it,as mine bootloader is unlocked and screen is dead now.
I really hope i never have to do this Thanks for the guide!

@the_laser, there are some poor souls on the Xperia Z who have the same problem by flashing a Sammy recovery to their Z which destroyed their bootloader as well...
They still seem to have some life in their mobile reporting it as a qcom device to windows (reconnecting over and over again), if I send some or one of them over to you by pm, would you be able to help them too?
This is REALLY AWESOME. :highfive:
Call me crazy, but I'm actually a bit excited to see somebody post that they totally recovered their phone to a 100% working state :victory:
And brought to us by 2 guys that aren't even "senior members" yet LOL

I'd imagine that if the the software is compatible, the only challenge is to find the test point?

Right after I brick my phone, I knew that it will be fixed without motherboard replacement.
And I was exited too, when it was recovered. Too exited. Now need a new motherboard for sure.

I see bootloader files for XZU 6802 and 6806. Would either work for the 6833 international LTE variant ?
I am very interested in trying this - my bricked XZU is already disassembled and I would love to wake it up. And thank you for putting all of this together !
edit: just checked C6802.7z and C6806.7z and they contain an identical file - so guessing C6833 will be the same.
Woot woot!!! I love you guys! I should have checked xda before i left for work.
Guess I need to find windows XP PC as I'm running Win 8 64.
Pure Awesomeness.

Hello xda guys!
Like a dumb i decided to change the front cover of my sony x10 mini, so, i decided to open it and de-assembly my phone.
It was all so easy, in few time and simply i got all the parts of my phone not mounted.
So i began to re-assembly every pieces and all looks fine, but, when i turned on my phone, after all the boot image i saw the sliding unlock command was not working good
The touch-sensor was not sensing my touch properly.
So i decided to de-assembly it again e re-assembly.
After this the phone was no more sensible at touch!!!!!
What did i brake?
What did i damaged?
Thanks for helps in advance.
Hi, As I saw on this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpCb0oxd_3c), there are lots of wires in this device.
Didn't you forgot to plug in one of them ? Or did you damage any integrated circuits ? Must be one of these if it's a hardware problem. It can be a firmware problem too but it's kinda obvious it isn't seeing the facts.
Anyway, i guess you should go back to SE's 2.1 rom and send it back to the customer service, i fear that it would be even more damaging to open it back again :s
http://youtu.be/iyT618lVxUs
My phone is this.
Well, now, my phone is definitely a test one (warranty no more valid), so i can do tests.
I guess i damaged the circuit or the sensor abled to sense touch, just because, all the other function looks working good.
I'm not sure on a thing: should i resolve just changing the motherboard or the display?
Ah yes, I misread you're on mini, not mini pro. Well, displays are solid componants. Unless the ribbon cable is damaged. I see no point in changing it. It's easier to damage a motherboard.(did that on my pc...)
These videos are awesome but i'll never try that myself. Too afraid of loosing my phone !
Yes! This should be the way! Thanks for the precious hints!
Definitely resolved!!!
Just changed the frontal cover!!
Now my phone works like a new one!!!!
I just checked out the official SONY ERICSSON X10 MINI repair manual on a wiki homepage. If someone need the link just ask me through a email!

Hello all,
I have a Sony Live Walkman WT19i currently on Gingerbread.
Randomly, when I'm making a call, the speakerphone gets activated... or sometimes it's the dialpad and then I hear my face touching numbers!
Is the proximity sensor not working properly on my phone, or is this a common bug?
Don't know if this happened while my phone had the original firmware WT19a - now it WT19i , it was the only way to root it.
Any feedback to repair this, avoid it or something?
i never had such proximity sensor problem.
eventough i flashed it many times.

Tried repairing with PC Companion, but it stops in the middle saying it can't continue.
Googled the cause that PC companion could do that, and there are many many reason... tried a lot of "fixes" to be able for it to do "the repair" (wich I heard fixed this issue for some guy) and had success with none of them.
well, if your phone still ''virgin'', then claim it to service center for warranty repair.

whoops... what have you done to it so far?? maybe you can try a different kernel or flashing a ftf of another version of firmware to see what happens.
Edit: just remembered something useful, go to the phone app and enter *#*#7378423#*#* this will take you to the service menu, select service tests and then proximity switch so it will tell you if it's working or not.

Tested it. It works, but it is *very* sensitive. If I move a little the phone within my ear, it will sense off. So I'll have to try to have it very still everytime I make call (I DO switch my phone a lot with my hand when talking).
Thanks a lot for your help. I see you're from Mexico? We could be having this conversation so much easier, ha!

Hello,
How did you adjust it? I can't find any option of configuration for that setting. Could you share how you could fix it?
Or maybe you meant it fixed with the custom ROM.. could be. I hope it's not a bug but shouldn't be fixed now that I upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich? I wouldn't want to use a custom ROM
By the way, wich ROM do you use?

Very interesting it seems it may actually be a hw related issue and maybe you will need to take it back. Still i am searching for another way to fix it if you don't want to.
how many cm needs proximity sensor to say that it works ok??
For me it about 1,5 cm and i often touch my screen when calling :/
Is there any SW solution? I'm using hybrom v16 custom rom now.

If you could find a way to address partitioning and such, then that'd work perfectly.
Regarding the other thread about booting a kernel whilst inside the Xperia U system, could we port things suck as LK Bootloader?
I recall it was recently ported to the Xperia T.
About boot loader its completely unprotected which means it could be changed without any problems.
Also it looks there's no RAM protection or its very low.
Any low level hacking should be easy but hard because lack of sources.

Hi everyone, hoping for some help.
My galaxy s2 wont power on at all.... I have tried plugging USB into the PC and pressing Vol Up but nothing - this happened after replacing the USB charge port. The power flex cable accidentally ripped off.
I plug it into my laptop and it starts installing the driver but then fails. Anyone experienced this before?
Detach battery, leave it in 5 minute and attach again , power on. I face this problem before(but the cause is not same to you ) and my phone power on after i do those steps. Hope your phone will work again.

something worth ur interest...
If you are describing the flex cable that is/was attached to the USB charger board.....then the 'inadvertent detachment' is likely the cause of your issues......
First, the damage that *has* taken place is likely to have caused a lack of charge reaching the battery....which is likely the reason the phone won't boot....dead battery and no way to charge it.
Second, it's likely the PC isn't installing the drivers as the damage caused is probably stopping the PC recognising the phone for what it is.....we all know PC's are dumb, if they're not told exactly how to do something, they just sit there scratching their metaphorical heads....lol
Repairing this part is *highly unlikely* to succeed........the only option....get another replacement.... the only saving grace......they're not that expensive......

I believe something like that should be in by default, but I probably want more features anyway.
However, I would like to revoke other specials: the back/menu swipes (at least temporarily) as well as status bar always on (expanded desktop in GravityBox).
A fully working ROM with at least 4.3 for BTLE is also something to wish for....
Clear, if you plan on holding onto it for a while I'll hit you up later when I get my hands on more KK source.
Glad to see you finally got your watch. There are still many people who haven't. Checking the kickstarter page reveals Omate keep making promises about posting but then the tracking numbers show they have never shipped.
Perhaps if Omate hadn't diverted kickstarter watches to their commercial enterprises then all backers would now have them.
Hello Mr. ClearD . Greetings from Hong Kong Glad to hear that you have received yours !! I have also just received it last week !
I have been using your Rom for my Motoactv and it is REALLY GREAT !!!!
MOTOACTV is good at running and exercise . But when daily use, i found it is too big .
Therefore , I think OMATE is really the answer for me for daily use. I
I hope you would make a good rom for this good watch. I think Omate is almost there but without a good rom.
And till now, I cant really find a good launcher for Omate
Congratz ClearD for finally receiving the Omate!:highfive:
I still use your ROM for my MotoACTV and it was the best one out there! I REALLY hope you stick around and keep doing what you do! :good:
What version do you have? I have two omates, both 1/8 2100. One got seriously bricked when I tried getting TWRP on it. The other one I haven't dared to do anything with. But I realize I need to patch it for security sake. Have you done that yet? Is it resonably safe afterwards to use with your google account?
I will be following this closely! I have new hopes now! I´ll definetily donate if you start developing for the omate!
Cheers mate! :laugh::victory:

Let's start from the beginning. Tell me what problem you're having, what caused it, and details about the unit you received. I also need to know OS version, what drivers you have, etc. Be detailed where you can.
I'd be willing to bet it can be fixed, even if you have to send it to me to fix it.

Let's start from the beginning. Tell me what problem you're having, what caused it, and details about the unit you received. I also need to know OS version, what drivers you have, etc. Be detailed where you can.

That's very kind of you.
I can't remember exactly because it was long ago but this is roughly what happened:
1/8/2100 4th shipping list (received 21st may in Europe)
Then I tried flashing TWRP and I bricked it. It wouldn't even start.
I used SP flash tool to flash my original scatter file on the watch but it is stuck at the boot logo. I have ADB shell and MTKDroid works.
Now after I restored/flashed my backup scatter file with SP Flash Tool It seems stuck at the logo... Waited 10 minutes.. no vibrating...
To be honest I'm more inclined to getting the working Omate patched for security issues than getting this watch to work.
Do me a favor and use your emmc scatter, flash the 0513 firmware from my thread in development. Flash the patch file lk and boot.img with updated twrp.
Also, post the first few entries in your scatter from the backup (preloader,mbr).

I would love to, but I'm on vacation now and don't have access to my backup files. I do have the other working Omate with me. Can I use a backup from that one? They´re most certainly from the same batch since they arrived two weeks apart in may.
Working Omates files as requested:

Edit:
Ok, tried using the working Omates scatterfile I just created and used your may shipment firmware provided in your dev thread. It now has a new NICE logo, but it's stuck there and boot loops. I'll continue investigating and trying different things.
