so you got the blue led lit
i think you worry to much. if the led is BLUE, YOU are in fastboot mode. all okay then. just do your task now (like flash kernel)
The led isn't blue,the sony logo appears. It's in ADB mode. I have no idea I'm trying to downgrade the phone from 4.1.B.0.587 to 4.1.A.0.562,and everytime I flash the 0.562 kernel the phone stays at 0.587. Flashtool doesn't show any errors. I don't know what's goin on with this phone :laugh: Strange

ah ok i know wheres the problem 1st of all there is NO ''adb mode'' adb is a programm that interacts with your android. its no mode.
there 2 modes:
a) fastboot(mode) --> blue led --> need for flashing a kernel via fastboot [adb does this] /connect phone while hold volume UP
b) flashmode --> green led --> need for flashing ftf (firmware files) via flashtool like you want. /connect phone while hold volume DOWN
so from now, why you want to downgrade?? whats your goal??
--> if you want just run stock (latest 587 ICS) with root forget about all just get on 587 firmware & use the ''e-root'' app --> done.
--> if you want to run a custom rom (with custom kernel), just do this: put rom.zip & other files like gapps on sd. put phone into fastboot mode --> flash kernel --> boot into cwm (by pressing continesly volume down on kernel bootscreen) --> install the rom like the instructins say. most (if not all) custom ROM & kernel are prerooted, no need to do it manually
anyway if you still just want to switch to any stock rom build, HERES a good tutorial & you can download desired fw there too.
HINT: dont connect phone until flashtoll gives you that popup to do it! now connect (powered off) phone via FLASHMODE (green led) for this you need to hold volume DOWN button while connecting.
im sure you missing sth
good luck
I didn't know about this E-root app, thanks! My goal was rooting the phone!
But I'm still unable to get in fastboot mode. I'm holding volume up,connect the USB and sony logo appears.

so how did you connected the phone for ulocking bootloader?? (it needs fastboot mode)
if you want to switch the firmware use flashtool!! (it flashes the whole ROM, INCLUDING kernel, no need to do this twice)--> & flashtool needs flashmode (hold volume down while connect)
fastboot is only need if you only want to switch te kernel.
if still no sucess make sure: dont do if allready...
-install android SDK (just press install packages, leave all like it is, google usb drivers are most important)
-install drivers for your phone from drivers folder in flashtool install location on your pc
also try:
-Go to settings > Security > Mark "Unknown sources"
Settings > Developer options > Mark USB debugging
Settings > Xperia > connectivity > USB connection mode > select MSC mode
Connect your phone to PC ( IMPORTANT > Skip PC Companion installation pop up on your phone.) and wait for the adb drivers to be installed.
good luck!

I unlocked it with testpoint method. This could be the problem?

maybe. i dont have xperience with testpoint method. but even on the testpoint thread he shows to flash kernel via fastboot (im confused) so i dont know whats wrong....
did you installed the android sdk & flashtool drivers?? (important)
& why not unlocked by official method??
That's the point,I think i'm unlocked the BL,the flashtool log says that (Bootloader status : ROOTED), and I still can't get to fastboot mode. Should I reinstall the drivers or something?
I did the testpoint method because i get Bootloader unlock allowed: No message, but the unlock was succsessful according to the flashtool log,wasn't it?
what happens when you enter
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
?
Nothing,phone reboots normally.

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)

Your tried to unlock your booloader and now dont turn on?
If your phones was manufacturated after 11w29, you got a hard brick.
Hello everyone, I am using sony ericsson x10 mini mobile phone. I want to install custom ROM cyanogen 7 gingerbread. But I am facing problem while booting this in recovery mode. I have tried the following.
downloaded custom rom for xperia mini and copied in to sdcard
installed ROM Manager Premium (not purchased, downloaded from google search and it is working fine)
installed root explorer
S1 tool
Rooted from superoneclick
downloaded xRecovery and copied into system folder
Flash tool - showing bootloader unlocked, and dont know how to flash phone.
msm7227 - used for unlock boot loader
I have rooted my phone successfully, all above things did successfully, when i am trying to boot my phone into recovery mode then it is not boot in that mode instead it boots in normal mode. What I am doing when phone starts and sonyericcson appears then i continuously pushing button many times but it boots in normal mode. So what I have to do to boot my phone in recovery mode. I have read and tried many guides in your forum but nothing works. Please help me.
Use FlashTool to flash a custom kernel (many cKernels haves recovery included, like nAa kernel). Follow these steps:
Download the ftf file of the kernel.
Drag it into the Flashtool window.
Another window will appear, then power off your phone and connect it to USB with the Back button pressed.
The flashing process takes less than 5 seconds, disconnect your phone when Flashtool says "Flashing Finished".
All right, now you can enter to recovery
Note: If you don't want a custom kernel, you lost your time unlocking the bootloader
I have tried to flash my x10 mini, like I have downloaded the flash file .ftf and with help of FlashTool_0.2.5 done flash my phone. Now flashing displayed some error and after 10 - 15 seconds I disconnected my phone but now phone is turning on. So I want to know what should i do and can I able to turn on my phone again. Please help me .
EDIT
Phone is stuck in boot loop at just before sony ericcson LOGO appears
when i attach it to pc to flash it displays

Hmm... I think you're not connecting your phone correctly, FlashTool should say "Device connected in flash mode" when you connect it correctly.
Are you sure that you're following the steps that I mentioned before?
Hi, you were right, i was not connecting my phone correctly in flash because battery connector was not connected properly. That's why my phone was booting. Now I have restored my phone in stock ROM which is downloaded from website. But the problem is I am unable to install custom ROM on my phone. On my phone android 2.1 has installed when I am flashing with new kernel ( E10_nAa-11_2.6.29.6-nAa-11 ) then it stuck into boot loop at sony ericsson animated logo. That's why I have to again flash it with stock ROM to make its working. I think this kernel is not compatible with android 2.1. I want to know is there any other way to install custom ROM on this phone means with the help of Flash Tool like installing stock ROM. If yes, them please provide me cyanogen 7 firmware stable version. Thank you...
Yes, you're right, custom kernels are not compatible with Sony stock ROM.
I recommend you MiniCM ROM, to install it follow the next steps:
Download nAa kernel, MiniCM zip file and GApps zip file. Copy the zip files into your SD.
Flash nAa kernel.
Enter to the recovery (pressing several times Back button when nAa kernel logo appear).
Go to full wipe/factory reset option. Wait for the process to finish.
Now, got to install zip from SD card option. Seek for the MiniCM zip file that you copied before.
Wait for the process to finish. Go to the same option, selecting now the GApps zip. Wait again. The recovery options will appear once again, go to Reboot now option and wait (the first boot will take a while)
You will lose all your app data when you make a full wipe, so you should consider to make a backup (Titanuim backup i.e.) if you don't want to lose all that.
I you still having troubles, send me a PM
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:

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!
Hello all ...
i've had my XZU for approximately 2 months, left the phone on the table picked it to check it, and then the phone blacked out, i've reset it using power button/volume up, that didnt work out then i did the reset using the red button right next to the sim card that made it work but am receiving a black screen with the following massage "InitialBootSetup" isnt responding do you want to close it? "wait" and "ok" no matter which one i choose ... nothing happens still black screen, everything is still running in the background as i can still recieve whatsapp massages but i cant view them since the swipe top to bottom doesnt work, went to the sony world in my country (i bought my unit from another country) they told me its a defected unit
if its a defected unit, i dont mind sending it back to the original country to replace it, but i cant back it up! all of my data are on it and i cant access my device using the PC Companion nor the service update center,
PLEASE HELP!
Could you hot boot the v4 recovery boot image, using flash tool, to do a nandroid backup then pull the backup off using adt commands? or would that require a root and an UL bootloader?

Will the phone go into either flash mode or fastboot mode?
you will need to install flashtool and read this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428319
1/ Try fastboot mode and use flashtool to hot boot a recovery kernel https://mega.co.nz/#!chQG0YTa!MR8D3A2FLM4KvOtXzqxHTHZrmUwSHBULDrJux8TpGEw)
- I don't know if this image will work... @hamdogg ?
- I don't know if this will work with a locked bootloader or not... Is your bootloader unlocked? Once in the recovery do a nandroid backup, possibly to an external sd card.
If that has worked I would then try the next step:
2/ If you can get into flash mode I would flash .532 ftf from this thread and start over: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453921 - THIS WILL WIPE DATA
3/ If you got a nandroid backup from the first step and got a ftf flashed then use one of the nandroid tools to pull your user data out of the backup
I hope that some one with more experience will come along and tell you if any of that will work. #1 shouldn't wipe any data I don't think, but use at your own risk etc...

2/ If you can get into flash mode I would flash .532 ftf from this thread and start over: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453921 - THIS WILL WIPE DATA
3/ If you got a nandroid backup from the first step and got a ftf flashed then use one of the nandroid tools to pull your user data out of the backup
I hope that some one with more experience will come along and tell you if any of that will work. #1 shouldn't wipe any data I don't think, but use at your own risk etc...

probably won't automatically boot using Fastboot, but yes that kernel would work. For a recovery boot.
I think keep it simple is the best option.
Power off your device off. Hold volume up and then Plug you're phone into you're pc.
Go to the Sony website, download the device drivers. (Google)
Download and open ' flashtool ' on your pc. Wait while more drivers are automatically downloaded via windows update.
Did that detect you're device? If not then you may need to return it.
Then also download flashtool divers. (google)
Then flash an FTF.
Done...
Read the threads on here so you become aware on how to work the software. Remember we can't do it for you, you have to research it yourself, and read yourself.

i've downloaded the files from the link, used the flashtool and got the following log:

what does the highlighted means?
well not hard bricked then
I didn't know if the hotboot would work or not, but was worth a try, another option is to do a backup of your data via ADB. Have a read of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420351. I don't know enough about ADB to say what commands to use, but you could do a full backup and a backup of just the user data (make sure to give them different names).
Once you have a backup of your data I would flash an FTF and start from fresh and restore one of the backups

PS. I was trying to falsh again but I couldn't beacuase when computer shows window to plug in my device with holding volume - it doesn't recognize Sony Xperia Z Tablet
Help me please and thank you very much in advance!
Is it fixed?
You could try repairing the tablet using the Sony PC Companion, you'll wipe the internal memory though
was it bootloader unlocked, rooted
were you using androxyde flashtools or emma
what branding did you flash (applicable to flashtools only)
are you pressing vol up or down to enter flash mode
what is the power LED status (color and sequence) when power up the tablet
