[Q] Xperia Pro (Mk16i) Recovery - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hello.
I have tried all methods of entering Recovery Mode on my Xperia Pro so I can install a custom R.O.M. on it, but it won't let me. Tried using the vol down button method, tried using apps to reboot in recovery, nothing works. Any help?
Edit: Okay, so I managed to do a recovery and installed or misinstalled a mod. Now my probelm is that the phone freezes at the Sony Logo and I can't do anything to it. My pc doesn't even detect it with Sony Pc Companion or Sony Mobile Flasher. Any ideas?

Have you installed driver for flash mode? You can use the one included in flashtool folder. PC Companion or flashtool should detect the phone even if your phone won't boot.

[Q] Mini Pro Touchscreen Dead

I was re-installing real ics lite 4 on my SK17i after removing some apps from the install package and messed up and selected the wrong phone type in aroma installer and installed WT19 and the touch screen stopped working.
I tried re-installing software with SEUS but still didn't work so I tried Sony PC Companion and the touch screen still don't work but I lost my CWM and I assume phone is no longer rooted.
As I can't use the touchscreen I also can't turn on debugging so can't use flash tool.
Anyone have any ideas how I can fix this?

Unlock your bootloader first

I have tried;
SUES to repair phone
PC companion to repair phone
Flashtool to reinstall custom kernel
CWM to install back up
Used keypad to set phone in debugging and turn on MSC mode
Flashtool to set phone back to 2.3.4 - 4.0.2.A.0.42
I think my touchscreen has broken and will need replacing but if anyone has any other suggestions I can try let me know.

[Q] Bricked????

My X10 gets as far as the Sony Ericsson logo but my computer wont recognize it. SEUS or flashtool wont recognize it either though it appeares I can get it into flashmode,like the green LED comes on and stays on. I have installed and reinstalled drivers multiple times and I have flashed stuff with flashtool before so I kind of know what I'm doing at least. Any Suggestions would be great.

Try this :
1-Install Sony PC Companion
3-Download flashtool 9.0.0 and not the latest version (because the latest one doesn't work for the X10 I think)
4-Install the drivers located in flashtool's installation directory for ex : C:\Flashtool\drivers
4-Connect your phone in flash mode (plug the usb while holding the back button) and wait for the drivers to install
Just go back to stock 2.3.3 ROM, search for it on the forum, download it and then flash it using Flashtool.
you only need the drivers you have with pccompanion. latest flashtool works for me. search for "dixperia 7 avenger", there youll find stock 2.3.3 kernel. flash it with flashtool and retry to connect to seus.

[Q] X10 mini Pro stuck on sony text after unsuccessful CWM install

Hi Guys
my Sony Ericsson xperia x10 mini pro stuck on sonyericsson text after unsuccessful installation of Clock work Mode recovery from xrecovery. I can't go to recovery any more since I was in the middle of recovery installation. from xrecovery to CWM.
I've tried PC companion but it didn't detect my phone,
Flash tools says the phone is connected with USB debugging off,
I don't know what else I should do, by the way my phone was rooted with super one click, busy box and xrecovery installed.
Try seus
It would work definitely

I thought PC companion and SEUS have the same functionality but SUES works like a charm.

[Q] Xperia U Hard Bricked

Hi there,
I have a rooted xperia u with unlocked bootloader. I've tried to install the cm9 following a guide where the requirement of the installation was having an original Sony firmware installed on the device. I didn't saw that requirement, and I installed it with a custom rom on my phone. So after flashing the kernel I turned on my xperia...
Bricked.
It made only the vibration but no Sony logo appeared. So, I connected it in flashmode on my computer (with windowsXP) with green led working, but flashtool gived me the message that I must install the phone drivers (even if I had already installed them on my pc). I tryed to reinstall them but nothing canghed.
I also tried to connect the phone on a windows 7 pc always with flastool (and drivers installed) but in that case neither fastboot mode or flashmode, nor any vibration was working (pc doesn't detect it).
I tried to connect the phone with removed battery or also a reset with power and volume up buttons but nothing...
It's still like this, with fastboot mode or flashmode not working with any pc... :crying:
Is there anything that I can do?
Thanks in advance.
Head to Sony service centre
Hit thnx

Sorry Cwikla, I didn't flashed the kernel, but the rom. I wrote it wrong.
Try getting into fastboot. Even without drivers, you might be able to do so. Bring up the fastboot menu in flashtool, then plug in your phone in fastboot. Quickly hit reboot into fastboot (via fastboot). Then flash another kernel and restore a nandroid backup(if you have one)

To go to flashmode on flashtool you need to put the firmware on the correct folder. Where have you placed the ftf file?
Do you have unlocked bootloader?
If not, then fastboot is not for you and have option to use Pc Companion to repair your software if the problem is in there.
Did you install flashmod drivers for your phone?
What happen if you connect your phone switched off with hold down the button volume - and connect in the same time usb cabel to the phone?
Did you see green light?

i didnt put it in a specific folder, at the moment its in the download folder.
but the ftf file is loading perfectly, the problem is when it says to connect the phn and doesnt detect it .
i connected the usb holding the vol down button and the red led turned into green, but the pc starts showing usb device not recognised.

no bootloader is locked.
it had the original stock firmware without any modification(not even rooted) before it went dead.
the same thing happens with pc companion it doesnt detect the phn.
and yes the green light turns on.
Like i say before. Don't wait Pc companion to recognise your phone.
Just turn off the phone, charge it good, after that connect with Companion WITHOUT turn on the phone or what you want and continue with the steps.
Doesnt flash mode work even with a locked bootloader?
Maybe you haven't installed USB drivers. Go to local disk C then flash tool and then open drivers and install the drivers for your device.
And then check flash boot again.

Flashmod is for device with locked bootloader and flash on stock files.
Fastboot is for device with unlocked bootloader and for flash on custom / different from stock files.
Fastboot will not do the work after the author has locked buuloader.
Better use Flashtool with flashmode or Sony Pc Companion or Xperia Comapnion, again with flashmod / green light.

and thats why fastboot drivers are working fine.
It is normal to not recognize the phone after not loaded operating system.
In the video I will share, will also see that there are unknown devices, but this is the menu models to indicate the program right model and proceed to download and install the software.
Just try it, if i understand you.
