Hi!
Having looked around, almost smashed my computer & phone to bits i thought I'd ask on here if anyone can help me out here. I have an Xpreia X10 Mini Pro.. It had Android 1.6 and i wanted to update it to 2.1.. (network locked to 3)
Two things happened here, PC Companion didn't work on my PC.. Dont know why, so i used SEUS(Sony Ericsson Update Service) to get me the update. This update downloaded successfully, then decided it would give up after about 5% of install.. Bricking my phone.
So i downloaded Flashtool. Great! (i thought). I installed everything, downloaded the UK 2.1 firmware in .SIN format, compiled it (or bundled). I had a rough idea of what i was doing however two steps were missed by the tutorial on this site.
My Flashtool asked me on bundling what model my phone was, there were 2 option which may apply, the first: Xperia Mini Pro, the second, X10. i chose X10.
then asked me if i wanted a locked bootloader or unlocked. ?! not knowing what this meant i opted to make two ftf files, the first with the locked second with unlocked.
none of those worked.. this is what i got in flashtool log:

i also not that in the stderr.txt file i had this:
"Error loading log4j properties file."
although i cant be sure as to when this happened.
Please help. I'm going to lose my mind here.
By the sounds of it you downloaded the latest flashtool which doesnt support our x10 mini pro. Try downloading an earlyer one and try again.

Its very easy using flashtool.
All you have to do is download it and install and follow these steps.
1. Enable "USB Debugging" and "Unknown sources" in your phone.
2. Open Flashtool
3. Connect the phone to the PC with usb cable and skip "install pc companion" message on phone.
4. So if you connect it properly, the flashtool will indicate that "device connected with UDB Debugging on".
5.Then click on "Root" icon in the menu and after reboot your phone will be rooted.
this is my log!

mrpsyko, try this tool: SE Extreme Tweak Installer - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346190
I had the same problems as you, the tool get my phone the CWM.
Please note, that previous to running the mentioned tool, I rooted my Xperia Mini with this kit: DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582

Apparently, installing CWM and busybox did not let me to install CM7, it is crashing while flashing.
I found that I had to install drivers, which are coming with FlashTool (see c:\Flashtool\drivers\).
After that fastboot connection went just perfectly fine and I was able to finish this HOWTO: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Mini:_Full_Update_Guide

what firmware?
Hello everyone.
I'm unlocking the bootloader on Xperia X10 mini, using the following tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
I have kernel [email protected] #1. The phone doesn't have a simlock.
I'm in section 5c (flashtool). Until this section everything went according to expectations.
There's a sentence in the guide that says: "Wait until Flashtool asks you to disconnect the cable off the phone, then turn on the device and connect the usb cable once again."
What happened was that I didn't see that sentence in the log, yet the phone turned on by itself.
I unplugged the cable and connected it again. The tool started to push files.
During the process the following error came up:
"Error mounting /system rw" (after "Remounting system read-write")
Not surprisingly, the message "Successfully applied unlock" did NOT appear.
Here's the whole log of the flashtool:
07/044/2012 14:44:26 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging on
07/044/2012 14:44:28 - INFO - Connected device : E10

What can I do to overcome this problem?
Thanks a lot!
Maybe you can use this guide :
http://www.androidaddicted.com/sony...eria-x8-w8-x10-mini-and-x10-mini-pro-708.html
I unlocked my x10 mini pro booloader yesterday using that guide (x8,w8,x10 mini also included),and it doesn't have many step to do,and it also Small Step and Easy to understand...
Don't forget to click Thanks button if my post help you
EDIT : It also provide Xperia x8,Xperia w8,and x10 mini other then x10 mini pro
Take the battery out?
Thanks for the link, UchihaDareNial.
What is written there is similar to what I did, in the most part. Yet I now notice a couple of things that I might have done wrong.
That phone belongs to my family relative. I'll give it another shot when he is around.
Yet I haven't found a way to take the battery out in X10 mini...
Is it posssible at all?
Thanks!
Hello guys,
I´m new here, and before everyone starts throwing stones on me , I´ve already tried some steps and got stuck (the welcome video is awesome! hehe).
Well, I tried to update my android on my phone, and after the reboot, got stuck on sony ericsson title screen.
1. I searched over the internet same issues, and i got this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602489 .
2. I followed Someguyfromhell indications at this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
3. I got the flash tool , PC companion, base drivers, and the ftf file for flashing.
4.After install flash tool, selected the ftf file, and got this message :
05/019/2012 14:19:47 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
I think the rom file is not compatible with my phone (2010 production date).
I tried to find other ftf files, without success.
Anyone can help me with that?
Thanks in advance
Use the repair option in PC Companion to restore your stock firmware if at all possible.
After that, you can tell us how you tried to update the android on your phone, like: what did you want to update it to, which rom did you choose, what steps did you take...
By the way... the links you provided were for 2011 devices, Experia Mini and Mini Pro
the 2010 devices are Experia x10 mini and x10 mini pro. Different hardware altogether, I know it's confusing but please be careful where you choose your new software from
Don't feel too bad though, we've all made mistakes, just try to be a bit specific as to what you did first that made your phone get stuck, we can go from there.
well
Hello Guys,
After a loong search i found one ROM who fits with my cellphone - kind of old one.
I followed the steps on flashtool and "recovered". Sometimes it acts strange : if I turn off, it's very difficult to turn on in normal ways.. i need to plug on usb or re-flash... and if I switch the sim card, sometimes works, sometimes not...
Now its stable, but I think something is wrong.
and i got this information about my current version status :
Model : U20i
Firmware Version : 1.6
Kernel : 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
Compilation Number : 1.1.A.0.8
Is there any possibility to upgrade my android version?
use the upgrade option in PC Companion
Again... what rom did you download, what steps did you take.. be specific when you ask questions, and please, let us know if you tried the advice given when you ask a question

are you have try use SEUS new version to get SE original rom+kernel , its work to me when i downgrade my E10i from MiniCM9 to SE original stock.
if you want to upgrade your phone to android 2.3 you can try MiniCM7 for U20i or for MiniCM9 for android 4.0.4.
I already try used MiniCM7 and MiniCM9 with nAa kernel, and its work fine to my E10i.
Help
i have the same problem i try to install MiniCM9 and it get stuck what should i do?

then i unlocked the bootloader via cmd. with these programs :s1tool i got via youtube a video and the programs msm7227_setool2 and msm7227_semc.
then copied the cm-11-20140320-NIGHTLY-LegacyXperia-mango to my phone sd card.

Hey guys!!
I had a Xperia X8 with a custom ROM. Yesterday I bought a Xperia U!
It is of the Tim , the Mobile Company ( there are so many useless apps!! ) . Now, I'd like to mod my Xperia U.
I know that there are 150.000.000 threads about this, I read them, but I'm never secure and I prefer to have some info updated, excuse me!!
So, I'd like to know if I can do some things, and yes, how to!
General info of my phone :
Number model : ST25i
Android : 2.3.7
Basement (?) ( I'm not english, I think this is the correct word! ) : u8500-49020604-R1G_EC14
Kernel : 2.6.35.7+ [email protected] #1
Build : 6.0.B.3.184
Today, I'm going to update my phone with PC Companion.
Then, I'd like to root my phone.
After, I'd like to do a FULL WIPE, so I can have a clean phone ( I think I need CWM Recovery )
I'd like also put a Custom ROM and after, unlock the bootloader ( it isn't risky on XU, right? ) and put a custom kernel.
Thanks in advice guys!!
P.S If I can these things, I must follow a specific order?
Welcome to the forum of devices of novathor which means cm based roms are bound to have bugs. Usually just follow the OP you will be fine. Remember. Whatever you do here, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. DEVELOPERS WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICES. Enough shouting there sorry just wanted to make my point so yeah. Upgrade to ics and just search around how to root your build of ics.

Hey thanks for reply.
I updated to android 4.0.4, everything ok
Now I'm trying to flash a firmware without brand with flashtool, but I can't!! It says always that I need to install drivers..
But I already installed them!! I have also rebooted the PC. But flashtool doesn't recognize the drivers.. I don't know what to do!!
Do you have pc companion? My win 7 pc is fully configured to flash without qny problems but i have problems with my win xp pc.....I am still working out on how to solve the problem.

Which flashtool you have?
If you flashed with PCC driver must be already installed and functional.
So, this is what I did :
I downloaded PC Companion, then I connected my phone ; the program asked me first to reboot my phone while it was connected to PC. Ok I rebooted it bla bla bla.. the PC found the phone. After I selected SupportZone for the update. I booted the phone in flash mode and everything ok. Now I'm on Android 4.0.4.
But now I want the official firmware, without the brand. So I must have Flashtool ( I have version 0.9.13.0 ) , anyway I have Windows Ice XP v6 Service Pack 3.
Inside the flashtool folder there is a "drivers" folder, with an .exe . I started it and I selected the drivers of Xperia P , U , Sole and Fastboot and flashmode drivers. At the end, this popup :
Code:
http://i40.tinypic.com/11kf8tc.jpg
So.. ok ok and ..
Code:
http://i41.tinypic.com/2hztws7.jpg
Everything seems ok. After I rebooted the PC. Then I putted the ".ftf" on the firmwares folder. Then I started Flashtool, clicked on the bolt, "flashmode" , selected the firmware and then "Flash". Ok, it said "Preparing files for flashing".
When the instructions appears, I boot my phone on flashmode, everything seems ok but...

WTF?? Anyway I noticed that, under right, popup a message with " new hardware found " and after a bit it says " error during the installation of hardware". If I click on it, nothing appears.
And, if I click ( on flashtool ) on Devices and then Check Drivers..
