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.

Hello!
I read for hours now, bot no luck
I flashed my x10a with flashtool with generic rom.
After flash, as the flashtool says, just turned off and on the phone.
But nothing happened(green led blink one and do a sort vibration, thats all..)
no logo, no sound nothing happens.
I tried to reflash again, but windows says: Cannot recognize the device
In the control panel device manager show "unknown device".
Because of this , cannot reflash with the tool, because it's waiting for the recognized device too..
when i press the back and connect the cable, the green lighting for a minute , and turns of..
Yes, i have the correct drivers(as you can see i flashed before).
Help me guyz, please, if U can
Does it go into flashmode?
Did you try flashing it regardless of unknown device in windows?

Try flashing back to stock non root. It may suck but at least you'll have a starting point. It'll read. Ust make sure you have newest flashtool. Just had the same problem with my x10. Its still havin troubles tho.

Try removing battery, insert usb cable, insert battery while holding back button. I spent 8 hours last night just trying to get back to stock. Your phone is semi bricked. Its a pain in the ass but it eventually works.

Hey go back to stock 1st then try rooting later,
1) launch pc companion
2) select support zone
3) now select phone software update
4) then click on repair phone
Now software will download the stock ROM along with stock kernel..
When the software asks you to connect in flash mode, do the following
1) turn off the phone
2) Remove battery
3) Connect the USB cable to phone as well as to the laptop
4) Place the battery back while holding down the back button (3rd button from the left)
5) Green light should glow and the stock ROM and kernel should be flashed automatically..
When it's done you should have a stock unrooted X10, if you want then flash custom Rom after rooting it, be sure to unlock the boot loader if u want to flash custom kernel... Good luck

what do you mean by flashtool cant be done?
try this:
1) open flashtool
2) press the flash button and select any stock ftf firmware
3) now after pop up comes to connect phone in flashmode---- remove battery, connect the phone via usb, and lastly pressing back button insert battery simultaneously.
Now the flashing should start hopefully.
if this doesnt work please post the error you get in flashtool

Now the phone working perfectly and going to my friend's service for fix the usb port problem.
Hello guys.This is my problem with Xperia P.I tried to update CWM from 6.0.1.2 to 6.0.3.0 in hope that I will get rid of that status error 7 when trying to install CM 11.Ok so what I did:i downloaded an update for CWM in zip format,i transferred the zip files to my xperia p internal storage then disconnected the phone from pc,then I booted the phone In CWM and from there I tried to update CWM by selectin install from zip sd card the zip archive.It said It was succesfull then asked for reboot and that was.After that the phone gone dead,no response from it even when I tried to power it on or to reset it by key combinations nothing worked.Even when I plugged it on charger nothing or in my pc usb.So when this happened my phone was rooted/unlocked bootloader and running latest JB build 6.1.2.A.100.So what I tried so far:i plugged it in wall charger for 6+ hours in hope I will get a life sign from it and nothing.Then I tried to disconnect its battery,i know its non removable but it has a cord attached that can be detached and I did it for about 5 mins.After that I reconnect the battery and plugged it in.Well I got a solid red led on it and I thought oh well it seems it worked but after exactly 15mins the red led goes out and nothing happens after it.At the moment I am writing this the phone already is dead by 24 hrs+.And yea I tried to connect it in flash mode for flashtool but not a sign at all.My pc doesn't detects it.So is there any hope left for my phone?If so please give more solutions.Oh and another thing it seems that after the red light goes off after 15 mins and I unplug it from charger and reconnect it the red led comes again and the process can be repeated.So should I try this way to charge it until it has enough power to do some responses?

if ur bootloader wasn't unlocked use SUS or sony pc suite to recover ur pc .... nd correct title , this isnt hard brick , i think u flashed a kernel from a different device ... if bootloader was unlocked then flash stock ftf using flashtool.. and flashtool works only in windows 7 and below ... making it work in windows 8 is tedious turn off ur phone and then hold volume down button then connect usb cable if green led lights ,that is flashmode

I am running Windows 7 and the bootloader is unlocked.Also I cant use flashtool or any software from pc because the phone it doesn't get detected.But if I plugged it on pc USB it does give a red light for exactly 14 mins then the red led goes off.Also any key pressing or key combinations doesn't help as I don't get any response from phone.So I am really sure its hard brick.Only sign from it is the red led that goes off after 14 mins.
So anymore ideas?Does my phone was hard resetted after I detached the battery for 5 mins and then reattached it?Because before this I didn't got the red led.And also should I try to recharge my phone by pluggin in it in charger wait 14 mins till red led gets off then repeat this process?

And how I am supposed to turn phone off when I get no sign from it when I am pressing volume or power keys.The only sign I get is the red led that after 14 mins goes off.Yea I flashed/updated a wrong CWM for my phone.And how that could screw my phone that bad I don't have any idea.
Just remove the battery chord from the battery (not the charger chord). This means, your phone is in turn off mode. Then reconnect it. Then try those flashmode combinations.
And for any further status 7 issues refer to my guide. Link is in my signature

when red led isnt lit up and ur phone isnt connected to either charger or pc then it means its off ..... then hold only volume down button (u won't get any response right now) then attach usb cable while holding volume down ... green led will definitely light up and then flash stock ftf

Well I removed the bat cord couple of times then reconnect it and tried flasmode comb but the pc still doesn't detects my phone.Only red led I get that goes off after 14 mins.
Bro, then this may be a hard brick. Try some hardbrick procedures. Or take your device to some local shops. They have a flashing device, which flashes stock firmware. Service centres will cost u very much.

its not hard brick ... in hard brick you don't even get to see the red led ..... this is a basic soft brick because he flashed incompatible kernel which failed bootloader test and hence he is getting this red led .... hard brick = phone becomes paperweight with no led or anything working ....... even charging which does in his case ....... he is just unable to turn on flashmode , (typical case with new users), even i also flashed wrong kernel on my xgo (u cannot even remove battery in that) , i just waited for red led to shut down then holding volume down and then plugging in usb i was able to get flashmode

if you can try using those "butterfly chargers" , the ones which directly charge battery..... then try this approach cuz flashmode needs 30% battery minimum to run , 75% is recommended

Hi
I have a lenovo P780 dual SIM phone puchased in India.
Im not sure if it was the 4/8GB model. This phone however had a Chineese bootloader.
The phone used to restart and hang randomly even during calls. now where i live there is no lenovo service center and my phone last night shutdown completely not even turing on anymore
When you insert USB cable/charger the phone shows a red LED light meaning it might be charging i think. I downloaded SP Flash Tool and read about what it is used for etc etc.
I cant get this phone to turn on. also i cant get it to be detected by my computer there is no USB connect / disconnect sounds when i plug it on my pc hence i dont believe the SP Tool can will be able to do any thing. and the bloody battery is non removable !!!
I installed the MTK65XX /6589 drivers by force on my system via device manager but still nothing is detected.
is there a way to jump start this phone or do some random combinations ? or ???????????
please help asap on what can be done to get this phone
Also i tried installed the drivers for MediaTek USB etc etc is this what im supposed to see on my device manager or is there something wrong ?? see attached pic.
Also the MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM driver says "fails to start" and if i do an update on it it gives that error and disapears. is everything how its meant to be?

Actually MTK device are nearly unbrickable. Last time my P780 flashing process was interrupted at the middle of flashing (PC hangs).My heartbeat stops at the moment but thank god my phone didn't brick.
Firstly, did you installed the correct drivers? If the LED still lit that means your phone haven't brick yet.
Download the drivers here and follow the instruction. This guide should help you fix your phone.

thanx for the response and the thread u pointed me to. but my phone doesnt even show on device manager and there is no any USB sounds like u know when u insert a USB flash drive u hear sounds? when i insert my phone no sounds. but only red led light of charging i think is showing. it is strange such a phone can just kill itself !! it was never dropped, inserted in water.. always was in good hands and even has a good cse + screen protector !!!
i will will format another PC and do everything driver installation from scratch. in the mean time let me know what else can be done cause i have done all in that thread u sent me.
thanx

Hi
I have a lenovo P780 dual SIM phone puchased in India.
Im not sure if it was the 4/8GB model. This phone however had a Chineese bootloader.
The phone used to restart and hang randomly even during calls. now where i live there is no lenovo service center and my phone last night shutdown completely not even turing on anymore
When you insert USB cable/charger the phone shows a red LED light meaning it might be charging i think. I downloaded SP Flash Tool and read about what it is used for etc etc.
I cant get this phone to turn on. also i cant get it to be detected by my computer there is no USB connect / disconnect sounds when i plug it on my pc hence i dont believe the SP Tool can will be able to do any thing. and the bloody battery is non removable !!!
I installed the MTK65XX /6589 drivers by force on my system via device manager but still nothing is detected.
is there a way to jump start this phone or do some random combinations ? or ???????????
please help asap on what can be done to get this phone
Also i tried installed the drivers for MediaTek USB etc etc is this what im supposed to see on my device manager or is there something wrong ?? see attached pic.
Also the MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM driver says "fails to start" and if i do an update on it it gives that error and disapears. is everything how its meant to be?

Thanx for the help, I will have to try this tomorrow as it's late ryte now.
However after leaving the phone untouched for 2 days or so I did do already what you said before but add this phone battery is non removable I pressed the small red reset button holding it with power button then plugged to laptop then only released the red reset button and hold the power button that's when it got detected and during this time the sp flash tool was already on with scatter file chosen etc etc and I had clicked the download button do it moved quickly with red bar then stopped didn't continue when I saw the error/error log something to do with time out so I think maybe the battery was low
So when flashing occurs in these phones do we need a charged battery or not?? As with other tutorials they say sometimes we have to remove and re insert the battery but my phone model battery is non removable..I'm planning to open it and disconnect and reconnect again
Leaving phone charge over night just incase.cause problem it just doesn't switch on.but red LED is showing when charger is connected

I tried what you said and after fiddling for a while the phone managed to get detected by the SP Flash Tool then it got flashed by the SP Flash Tool for some reason a yellow circle came up and the USB seemed like it got disconnected automatically
i just left the machine and the phone+SP Flash tool as they are hoping to get that green circle.. bu nothing happen !!! phone is black screen just like dead... after fiddling again multiple times with key cobinations .. i managed to get it boot with the below procedure
pressed the small reset button, press both volume up and down + power button altogether then released the small red button for after maybe around 10 seconds and while the others are pressed !! then the phone booted !!
and ontop of that it booted with the lenovo logo and the slogan i believe "for thos who do" stayed for a while kinda flashing itself i think.. but no progress bar.. I almost thought i was on some boot loop maybe or soft brick but luckily it booted into the russian Life ROM I flashed after that phone went to homes screen and just died again !!!!!!!!!!!
im thinking maybe it may be a hardware issue?? or ??

Hi ! When Life ROM is flashing, no progres barr appears. Did you tried to remain on Life rom ? At least for a week ? Before you go in a service store try to stay with Life and iff this bug appears again go to service store.
