Hello there,
I am user of Z5c from last year. Own the model 5823.
I am just about to start up with a flashed ftf 6.0 but I'm missing "something" that don't know what it is.
I have already unblocked the bootloader successfully (verified, because I try to restore it with Xperia Companion and now it gives me a nice "error", after yes having achieved it successfully a couple of days ago).
After that, I have installed with FlashTool an ftf 6.0 Nordic Generic (not finding a 6.0 Central Europe 1 Generic, which was the one I wanted).
I know I am just a step before all begins to walk and everything to be OK, but after finishing the flash installation successfully updated the apps and all, returns to remain in a "loopstart", just like before unblocking the bootloader, but now I've already done it.
I see that I still have something to do but already do not know what it is.
Actually, I even go to 7.0 and stay there if I'd manage to recover the phone, but I really do not know how.
Could someone help me please? :crying:
Thank you very much.
Regards,
A

Hi XDA,
this is my first post, sorry if this sounds a bit spammy, I'm at a loss for how to root and flash for my X10 and hoping someone can help me finally get everything sorted...
I bought my phone in Australia second hand, unlocked from a carrier, but with bloatware out the wahzoo... to make matters more complicated, I now live in Germany.
I have tried to root and flash my X10 on a number of occasions, following the advice found here, but have not been able to get it working due to weird combinations of carrier restrictions, region variations and general lack of experience. It appears as though there are at least 8 different OS versions for the Xperia X10 (or is it X10i?) and I don't even know which mine is.
Can someone please point me in the right direction? I have tried ~5 methods found here and have always encountered an unknown error that doesn't seem to occur for other users...
Thanks!

First, do you have SEUS and Update Service from SE installed on your computer? You need these two software for the drivers for the phone, otherwise Flashtool would not be able to do anything.
Hey all!
First of all, I started a new thread because there are so many replies in Mini CM7 ROM thread and to me it looks (sort of) like a salad. Sorry if I did wrong.
Now, the problem.
A few days ago I managed (I would add that this was not too hard...) to brick my x10 mini. What I did was to relock boot-loader without flashing stock kernel back. After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery wires, I was able to flash an original rom (sadly, SEUS didn't help, it only said that I had the last software installed and the only option showed was exit. So I did another stupid thing, I unistalled SEUS, so bye-bye blob_fs files...), which I downloaded from here. So my phone was back to life and usable. I unlocked the bootloader again and now I can flash any kernel I want. There's only one little problem: no matter what kernel I flash and no matter what rom I install, my phone goes in a boot-loop. The only rom that works is the Orange branded one I used to unbrick my phone. I followed step by step (at least now) all the instructions to install Mini CM7-2.1.1 and Mini CM7-2.13, but no chance, my phone keeps restarting. I even tried to install other custom roms, which are requiring kernel 2.1, with no result. The only one who works is the Orange one.
Now, if anybody could upload the 2.1.1.a.0.6 SE firmware (stock ROM+kernel), I think I might get a chance to solve this (I could only find 2.1.1.c.0.0 and looks like SEUS - at least in my case - doesn't like it). Or if anyone else here knows other ways or have other ideas of how to solve this problem, I'd be very grateful.
Thank you for reading my "book", any help would be much appreciated.
Hi guys, I've had a look around for this, but I can only find the solution for bootloaders that are unlocked. I suspect my Ray WASN'T unlocked. I accepted the OTA 2.3.4 update, thinking it would be fine. But the phone now shows the exclamation mark. I can get into both the recovery and fastboot modes (green/blue LED).
None of the recovery solutions are working for me. Is there a way for me to fix this, or will the phone have to go to a Sony Ericsson shop.
The official PC software from SE won't restore it either.
it is wise to go to sony shop , they will fix it
Not sure if this will solve your problem, but it solved mine:
The problem was with the bootloader. So I tried FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick which brings a small firmware information to reset the bootloader.
The problem I was having was to be able to correctly connect the phone to the flash tool. My phone's USB connection was constantly going up and down. So I decided to uninstall all the tools and drivers and install them from scratch.
In short, here's what I did.
Installed Update_Service_Setup-2.11.10.7.exe from sony ericcsson in order to get the USB drivers to work.
Followed the instructions of the Update_Service and flashed the latest update available for my phone (2.3.4). This didn't solve the startup problem, just installed the latest update.
I ran the Update_Service again and restarted the process has if I was going to flash again, but after the Update_Service detected the phone I canceled the installation. (I did this just to make sure the phone was connected in FlashBoot)
Then I installed FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick.exe, opened the folder of the application and ran X10FlashTool.exe
Hit Flash button and the program opens a Firmware Selection window with a preloaded firmware with two reseting contents (loader.sin, preset.ta). Hit OK button and waited until the program indicated the flash process was finished. The process of flashing takes a few minutes and we need to be patient. It might even seem like it's doing nothing but we just have to wait.
After finishing the flash process the program invited me to disconnect the phone and turn it on. I did so and the phone took probably a minute or so to startup. At first I thought it didn't solve the problem, because it was taking so long to start, but it did solve! So I waited patiently and the Sony Ericsson logo showed up giving me a new hope. After that I had to wait another 4 or 5 minutes for the phone to finish applying the new firmware mentioned in point 2. (There's no visual information of the conclusion process so you might wonder the phone might have hung.) Just waited and everything got back to normal with the benefits of the new firmware 2.3.4 (instead of the previous 2.3.3).
I hope it helps someone having the same issue.

Might not fall under warranty.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792, check my tutorial, there is a guide to unbricking.
Yes, I'm an X10 mini n00b.
I'm sorry to post this, but I've been mucking around the net for over two days trying to find a solution, this is my last hope.
To the point:
I've an X10 min - e10i.
I had firmware 2.1.1.a.0.6 on it, and did all the steps towards installing a custom firmware.
I installed recovery, and it worked, so I created a NANDROID backup, then I rooted it, I hacked the bootloader. Everything was fine.
Then I came to put the minicm7.2, and everything stopped working.
The phone would not boot anymore past the Sony Ericsson logo wouldn't even go into recovery.
I mucked around a bit with flashtool, s1tool and others and got to the final position I'm in right now -
Phone boots, but the model now is e15i (no idea how that got there), and the buttons won't work, the sim and sdcard are unrecognized.
How do I fix this? I can't find the generic firmware for the A.0.6 anywhere, and non of the ftf's I downloaded were any help.
Tried to flash the E10i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Sony Ericsson.ftf one (220mb) and it shows me the unplug/plug your phone dialog.
Neither Pc Companion nor SEUS were any help.
Plz help...
Hi everybody, I am posting this up because I have basically hit a brick wall with regards to rooting this phone.
I have the following device
Sony Xperia XZ2
Model - H8216
Android Version - 9
Build Number - 52.0.A.8.131
I am having a number of issues attempting to root this phone, first and foremost no matter how many times I have attempted to install TWRP It will not work.
I am using Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde with TWRP 3.3.1.0 maple, again will not flash to the XZ2. (USB Debugging On, I have even tried the actually App to attempt to flash custom roms but to no avail because the phone needs to be rooted.)
I have also researched all over the Internet and found that because of the build number I have installed on my XZ2 It seems no matter what I cannot get the damn thing rooted.
Has anyone managed to root this phone with the current Android build that I am using? I have searched high and low across the Internet and the only thing that is close enough would be XperiFix, but unfortunately my Android build number is to high.
If It is a simply something that cannot be done, I would appreciate that being said so I can smash the damn thing or sell It for scrap, the last time I had a Android phone before this was when they brought out the Sony Z2. So my thinking was simply download Kingroot and I would be okay, I guess Androids come a long way since.
Thanks In Advance for any help or advice from the community.:fingers-crossed::good:
