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.

Factory data reset is not factory default ROM, what exactly did you do, factory data reset or have you flashed stock ROM?
Can you enter flash or fastboot mode? Remove the battery again before you try both, and open flashtool window to see if connected in flash/fastboot mode.

Have you used PC Companion with this phone before?

If you can enter flash mode, mMaybe you can relock bootloader and try yo repair with PCC or SUS.
Open flashtool window and connect in flash mode, see it stays in flash mode for about 45 seconds.

Nevermind, i send it to service...

And what is best Cyanogenmod ROM for Sony Xperia U?
Hello
A friend gave me a "broken" Xperia Ray.
Here is what seems to not work :
- long press on power button (up on the phone) = nothing
- charging it only makes a Sony Ericsson logo appearing during few seconds then nothing
- pluging it in a USB port on my computer does nothing.
Any idea about which is the problem exactly ?
It became like this after a fall...
Thanks
It seems like it´s softbricked. Try to flash stock FTF in flashmode (phone off, when you´re connecting it to the PC hold the volume down key, and mantain it until the FTF has flashed), connect via Fastboot or via S1Boot, if your phone is dead yet, it´s a hardware damage.
Greetings and a happy 2014.

Thanks but I found the answer : pins just above battery were... not in place.
Had to put them back to normal state and now it is ok.
Found the answer in another thread here !
Hi, i have a xperia z2 totally unresponsive, no power button, no volume buttons, no red reset button, no power on any form but magnetic port, no testpoint function (testpoint connected to ground or plates or point near to upper screw or any other know ground point).
The whole thing started when i try to flash some custom LineageOS 16 for Sirius board!
I try to update TWRP from 3.0.2 to 3.3.1 and flash the rom with gapps for android 10. The rom in TWRP mode shows an error and stop flashing, then i try again with wipes and same error, i try gapps and same error, then i reboot to system and crash, good bye BOOT, SYSTEM and all.
No PC response too. It just power by putting into magnetic dock, just then the phone power on and stuck into SONY logo.
There is a form to get the phone back to life??
P.D.: Phone is bootloader unlocked with TWRP 3.0.2 succesfully installed. Works normally before try to install that Sh*t of rom. Stock Rom Android 6 (23.5.A.1.291), usb cable, buttons board and red reset button unresponsive.
Did you hear any sound from pc or see device manager refresh when you connect device? Or did you try another usb cable?
Try press red button when you see Sony logo then connect to pc with flashmod or fastboot (if it detectable first)
So You Flashed the rom on the 3.0 twrp?
I have flashed a custom rom first using flash tool then again flashed using stock rom, then i given that to my brother and he not used my phone for a 2months. when i heard that i take back and tried to switch ON but its not restarted and again I flashed my phone but unfortunately the file got wrong and now it is not restarting and I can't able to flash again. when i connected usb only red light blinking and not detecting by PC and frequently a white screen appearing.

what abut the usb port thats inside the phone it self..you can easly test it by any maintenance friend with avo-meter
edit: can you enter the recovery menu?
try this...
Power off your device.
Boot in recovery mode by pressing and holding Volume Up and Power Button at the same time.
Release all buttons when the Sony Xperia neo L screen flickers and in a few seconds the Recovery screen will appear.

idk about the usb port I will try that, but it responds when put it in charging (only red led blinking). and no recovery mode, while pressing the power button the red led blinks 3times then no more response happens, and I tried to charge it in a whole day after 2hr a light showed in the screen and it happened frequently. No more responses from phone.
