Hello comrades,
I have xperia x10 mini pro. I rooted phone with Flashtool and installed CWM. I tried to boot it in flash mode (turned off phone, back button held and plugged in USB into the phone), but what I get is that my phone turned on always, like that I pressed Power button.
Earlier I couldn't boot it into the flash mode and I got that I charging battery, but after I installed CWM, phone always turns on.
Due to, I can't re-flash it because it always turns on. I tried with flashtool, PC companion, SEUS but all software need that I turn off phone and then hold back button and plug in usb and what I get is turned on phone. Please help me how to fix this problem.
I would like to re-flash it to stock 2.1.1.A.0.6 (2.1-update1).
Phone turns on even if I just plug in usb to phone (one end is in the PC and when I plug in other end into the phone, phone turns on). What is wrong guys?

Leave your phone plugged in and press POWER-HOME and BACK all together, as soon as the screen turns completelly black (backlight off too) releast POWER and HOME, and leave the back-button pressed, that will probably work too.

Can you explain me a little more detailed, i didn't get you very well. I am noob
How do you mean until I reach connection step, where should I reach connection step?
You take out the battery, then you go into PC Companion and follow the steps to repair your phone, until it asks to connect your phone in flash-mode.
Then do as he said (put the battery in etc.)

It doesn't work.
I tried and POWER-BACK-HOME buttons while the phone is plugged in (turned off and turned on), same sh..t. Phone starts like that I powered it on

What do you think, what will happened if I wipe it using CWM? Can I brick it on that way?
If you mean formatting your phone, so you don't have a system on there anymore... that probably will give you a brick. Flashmode is a hardware feature, implemented to install firmware and enable reparations to your phone's software.
Deleting everything you can will not magically solve your problem, as far as i know.
It might help if you get mad at the phone and abuse the back-button by repeatedly pressing it when connecting the phone.

Does this mean that I have hardware problem. Phone works without any problem.
Somehow it doesn't detect you pressing the back-button, maybe there is some dust or dirt inbetween the contacts or something, since you flashed sucessfully before i don't think it's a serious hardware-problem.

I didn't flashed it before, I couldn't do that. I couldn't unlock bootloader, because I couldn't boot it in flash mode (phone just show that battery charging), after installing CWM now phone even don't show that battery is charging (it turns on when I plug in USB in the phone without holding any button). This is nightmare!
You are still on the original firmware then?
I mean, your phone still works?

Yes, I am on original firmware and phone still works, but I have problem to boot it in flash mode. When I plug in USB cable in the phone it turns on, like that I pressed POWER button. I don't press any button, but when I plug in usb cable 10-20 seconds and phone is on.
Yes, because your phone detects the usb-cable getting plugged in, even when it's off, it thinks you want to charge it, so (normally) it loads the kernel in order to start the charging-process, that is normal behaviour. I have been on a kernel that didn't support that feature, and it booted into the full rom before it started charging.
In short: the usb-port also functions as a power-button, sort off
Does the back-button work normally when you're on the firmware? (Like, open the app-drawer, pressing back-button should close it?)

Yes, the back button works perfect, closing apps (not close apps, but back to the phones "desktop"), back to previous pages in browser...
I am concerned because, before I installed CWM , when it was OFF and plugged in on USB, phone just showed black screen and when I clicked on some button I could see that battery is charging, that was all. Now, when I plug in USB it turns on like I pressed POWER button.
And off course never booted in flash mode because it turns on

What is app-drawer, I don't know what is that.
oh, that's the bit where you find all your installed apps, the grid you see when you press on the little triangle on the bottom of your desktop, or swipe up on the desktop.
I honestly don't know why your phone won't go into flash-mode though. Maybe try to take out your battery for about 10 minutes so your phone gets rid of all charge and static, and then try again.

I solved problem about POWER-ing on when I plug in USB. I installed new ROM "MiniCM7Pro_V21_Paul_XXX" via CWM because I didn't need to boot it in flash mode and now when I plug in USB I got that it charging battery and orange led diode.
But I can't boot it in flash mode even with new ROM, all the time orange led diode when I hold back button and plug in USB. I wiped out all date except something about "battery" from Advanced CWM options.

when I connect to PC the flashtool shows it connected with debugging off and do nothing.
I can't go on flash mode or fast mode to reinstall again.

What did you said?
It's not bricked, one of my Xperia S phones did this to me on multiple occasions. The first time i just let it charge over night, or until the solid red LED turned to solid orange LED. The patience waiting for it to turn to an orange LED is the key here i noticed after it happening several times, interrupt it each time and it may as well be bricked through lack of patience.
Thread moved to Q & A section, kindly post in the relevant section next time.

So i bought phone yersterday, and today i connected phone via usb to pc and i.. formated something, some pop-ups with formating g: i formated it accidently, but i was fast enought to see that i formatted something that was only 20Kb.. and when i did it.. i cant turn the phone. nothing working, tryed remove battery, holding power on button without battery. No sign of life, screen black... it just dont work , just like it were without battery. But when i connect usb my pc shows Udentified device and tryes download drivers for it and then fails.. Charging not work too. Cant enter Cwm too. Phone even don't vibrate when holding power button..
Maybe someone knows what the heck just happened??
please...
Hey, I need to use my old xperia sola for some reason, but the problem is the phone is just not working at all, not charging(tried many chargers), not even a red light, phone not turning on, tried power + vol up, really don't know what to do, wanted to try and opening the phone but the screws need a screwdriver I don't have, what can I do? any ideas? tried connecting the phone to the wall charger for a whole night, nothing..
Thanks for the help.
So pressed power + vol.-up for around 5 secs. and no vibration? Maybe check this with powercable plugged in.
What about Sony companion? Will it find the phone?
Is adb (option "device" or "shell") working?
Have you tried to flash a ftf with FlashTool or a Kernel with fastboot?
For ftf (best stock-ICS) press and hold vol.-down, while connect to usb and for fastboot a kernel hold vol.-up while connect to usb.
Last thing - check another usb-cable.

install the drivers and try flashmode again.
Do you perhaps know if your bootloader is unlocked?
If so try to get into fastboot mode ( volume up ) and flash a custom kernel like androplus that has recovery.
Then flash a stock pre-rooted zip.

Hi dude.
Try to press and hold power and volume up buttons together for a 10 seconds until your phone vibrate 3 times,maybe help.
Ofcourse,your battery must me charged even 10 %.

already tried...didnt vibrate..also tried red small button near sim card slot..nothing happens too...the only thing that happen is what i mention on the question when connecting to charger...actually..i tried almost everything that i get from internet..but..maybe someone know something..other way..to get my phone back to life..so i asked here..just maybe there are solution...thanx anyway
If your screen turn on even for a second when you connect to the charger there must be a solution.
The bad thing should be if screen not responding at all and that would mean that motherboard is dead.

looks like you phone freezed.
Try to use hard reset button, because "Device Connected with USB Debugging off" means your phone is turned on.
Press and hold hard reset button (near SIM Slot, small red button) for a moment to 3 buzzes. Then leave this button. Try to turn on. If it won't boot, do the same procedure and your phone will be turned off. Connect your phone in flashmode, FlashTool should recognize it.
Hope it helps, got similar problem, it has fixed it
