This is the Easy stuff, you dont need root to go from 1.6 to 2.1
First go to the Sony Ericsson website and download two programs called Pc companion and Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS), located in support for X10
Then just install those two and follow instructions, you should now already installed the drivers for your x10 by going into flash mode
Now your Pc companion will alert you that there is an update for the x10. Click on that and just follow every step.
To Get 2.2 and over:
1) need to root - download either flashtool from Q&A thread or you can download SuperOneClick
2) Use either to root device - once rooted, reboot phone
3) Download busybox from the market and install
4) Once installed, your device is basically rooted and has xrecovery installed
5) you can reboot into xrecovery by tapping the back button several times when the sony ericsson logo has appeared
6) just install any of these custom roms available on this site and PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR EACH ROM
7) you may have to flash different basebands for different roms- i will not explain every single step because you can find out by searching and reading these forums
8) just install any rom and reboot DONE!!!
thanks for the help im just stuck on 1 little step i cant seem to get the semc driver installed. any suggestions im using windows vista

It should just try to autoinstall when you plug your phone into usb and connect the first time if your on stock ROM.
Sent From My *Super Fly X10*
If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!
hey if you cant get the computer to read it, turn off your phone, unplug usb from phone, hold the BACK button WHILE plugging the usb into your computer. Keep hold of the back button until the computer has recognised it

hi guys dis s d tutorial for flashing d stock firmware on a dead or bricked x10 mini.....
NOTE: THIS PROCESS WILL RELOCK UR BOOTLOADER AND ROOT WILL BE GONE
Step 1: Download Sony Ericsson update service software (SEUS) http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/supp...ro?cc=gb&lc=en
Step 2: Install it and open it
Step 3: Now do a hot reboot on the device by pressing and holding both the menu and power keys at the same time
Step 4: Without wasting even a single second press and hold the back button and connect your USB cable while holding Back
Step 5: Do not release the back key until the SEUS identifies your device. When it identifies your device, the update option will appear on your screen.
(It may say that you have a latest firmware already, but you click repair anyway and after the operation starts, You may release your back key.
Step 6: Wait until the update process gets finished and reboot your device now you will have a stock firmware with locked bootloader
feel free to hit thanks if this helped you..
kudo for posting this, but many spelling mistakes and excessive use of txt speak like "ur, u, diz" you may wanna rewrite the post

Hopefully, this will be easier to understand (spelling, grammer & punctuation fixed)
thanx for the opinion will repost it soon
You are wrong, restore a firmware does not restore the lock of the bootloader. Your bootloader keeps unlocked always (you need s1tool to relock)

The phone at least has to be able to boot in flash mode. If it's "more bricked than that" it shouldn't work...
Missing "REPAIR" option in SE Update Service
SE Update Service ver.: 2.12.5.57 (last)
Kernel: nAa kernel
ROM: MiniCM7
There is no "REPAIR" option (see attachment).
It was in older version only? Who knows?
Or does anyone know another way to get back to stock ROM and kernel from the kernel and naa MiniCM7 ROM?
I claim my phone. So I need the original state.
THNX a LOT!
The repair option in PC Companion is a bit hidden, mine is in dutch but i try to show you the steps you have to take.
See screenshot 1, support zone, click start
See screenshot 2, update phone software, click start
See screenshot 3, phone not found (or you have the latest firmware), click the repair link
The repair link is not there if you choose update from the mainscreen in SEUS.
This desnt work. I have got almost standard conditions

Nevertheless I try your way. I found "Repair" link. I walk thru all steps, but It shows "No software available" (it was looking more like "update" then "repair") (see attachment). And then redirect me to homepage of PC Companion (with no chance to Repair).
I have got standard conditions:
Sony XPERIA X10 mini (E10i)
with
Kernel: nAa kernel (last version)
ROM: MiniCM7 (last version)
PC Companion Version: 2.10.053 (last)
SE Update Service (SEUS) Version: 2.11.12.5 (last)
THIS SOLUTION STILL DOESNT WORK FOR ME (I THINK FOR ANYBODY WITH SAME CONDITIONS)
Please help. I'm starting to be clueless :/
Thanx a lot.
I have edited my post, it is PC Companion ofcourse...
What steps did the repair option make you take? with me it is:
1. you will lose all your data, agree...
2. computer will be prepared, choose your model - x10 mini
3. it will tell you how to enter flash-mode (unplug, shut down, press back, plug in)
4. it will download the firmware and flash it to the phone
5. disconnect the phone and restart
as far as i know, the repair option doesn't care what phone you have, or what software it runs, it trusts you to select the right model, and itself to find the right firmware for that, no other checks are performed, it just flashes it.
PS: I was on nAa-08 and GingerDX this time, especially for this post i have flashed back to stock. i have bricked my phone a few times when i tried flashing custom roms and it always worked this way for me, even if you are on stock firmware it will still flash it again.
is it possible that my mobile SIM is not recognized after bootloader relock in s1tool?

If it was still working after you unlocked the bootloader, then relocking it probably won't break it.
If it stopped working after you unlocked the bootloader, then relocking might restore it.
In any case make sure you're on stock firmware before you relock.

leave your phone unplugged when you choose update, and only plug it in when it asks to connect in flashmode. It can't recognise your phone when it's unplugged and should give you the repair option, if SEUS doesn't do that, download PC Companion, that will do it.
but the pc companion need the phone to be turned on and my phone doesnt turn on

So, what is wrong with your phone then? is your battery dead?
When you start PC Companion and you don't have your phone plugged in, you do the following:
Choose update
It will say: Phone not recognised (or something like that) and in that dialog there is a little blue link saying Repair. Click on it.
It will tell you you will lose all user data, accept that
It will ask you to select your phone-model from a list
It will download the firmware for that phone.
It will ask you to connect your phone in flash-mode (press the back-button, plug in the usb-cable, the led will turn green, the dialog will disappear and it will start flashing.
No need to turn on your phone at all, but it needs some charge in the battery in order to successfully complete the flash (normally a charge of over 50% is recommended to be safe)

Just download and install ADB in your PC and update your drivers in ADB
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
This should solve it.
Make sure Tethering is ON in settings> Development
And a short cut is install Sony PC Companion and it will also install drivers for your phone!
This should work !
Good Luck

Then you will need to make sure that PC companion isnot working in the background. You can check it in the taskbar.
Plus install the SDK with its driver if that doesnot work.
Make sure you are running as Administrator.

To unlock your bootloader you will need to get that from SONY website only
I mean, SONY will send you a code and then you can unlock your bootloader.

The SDK i am using is about 420 MB in zip file and goes over 850 MB. So we are using different versions.
Secondly, When you open ADB, it asks you to update tools. There must be UPDATE DRIVERS. Install that and it should work. Make sure you run as administrator. I havenot seen any attachment with your post!
I downloaded it from here. 32 bit . Use according to your motherboard.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Also, to flash your rom, you must have FTF file of STOCK. And your Sony PC companion shouldnot be running in the background.
I am attaching a file. You can easily tick the drivers you need to install as seen in the image.
You do not need to unlock your bootloader to flash STOCK rom, however, to install most of custom roms, You will need to unlock the bootloader.

I saw your attached thumbnail now.
Well you can not install it from there.
Download SDK and then in that list of things to be installed, INSTALL USB DRIVERS.

OP, just read this.
I don't know why you guys make things difficult, he doesn't have to install SDK.

*second i performed step 3 of the said guide up to step where you execute “01-local-prop” , then i realized the the firmware i got “4.0.4 firmware” is not appearing in my choices, so i figure its not the right rom, i unplug the usb and restart the phone, then the problem starts, it keeps on restarting over and over, i tried to flash it again to Xperia Mini (ST15i)_4.0.2.A.0.42_CE.ftf but it doesnt work because it keeps on restarting, pls help, it my first time doing root, i know it’s a learning process, i hope you can help me. tnx very much. hope to hear from you soon.

*second i performed step 3 of the said guide up to step where you execute “01-local-prop” , then i realized the the firmware i got “4.0.4 firmware” is not appearing in my choices, so i figure its not the right rom, i unplug the usb and restart the phone, then the problem starts, it keeps on restarting over and over, i tried to flash it again to Xperia Mini (ST15i)_4.0.2.A.0.42_CE.ftf but it doesnt work because it keeps on restarting, pls help, it my first time doing root, i know it’s a learning process, i hope you can help me. tnx very much. hope to hear from you soon.
i know that there are same problems with other devices, ive tried to search for it, it does have the same problems but its a different handset, i believed that there are different ways to root for every handset. tnx again, i hope to hear from you guys soon.

Don't worry. You can resolve this. I think your bootloader is still locked. Download sony Ericsson update service tool. I mean SEUS. You must have high speed Internet connection. Switch off your phone. Open Seus service choose your device and go for update. It will ask you to connect your device by pressing back key. Just follow it. It may show that your device already have largest version. But you should continue to fresh installation. It will get your phone back to working condition. :good::good:

Please make sure you have a high speed internet connection. It will download your device's whole OS. I think around about 250 MB or more. Otherwise you will get frustrated in a waiting mode.

I have used SEUS almost 4 times, I didn't faced any issue. Make sure your Internet connection is working properly and OS too. Can you please provide snap for the same ?
SEUS has been discontinued by Sony. It doesn't work any more.
You'll have to use PC Companion.
aww!!ok, i tried with pc companion bt it says that there is no software update for my phone :'( !! is there any way to force it install the stock 2.3GB ,.. with flashtool or pc companion??
I told you already it will show that your phone already have latest software, but even though you have to go for fresh installation. So it will install fresh of GB
