Help me ppl ! I screwed up big time !!
I originally got X10 mini with Android 2.1 and relatively old firmware ...anyway I rooted my phone, took the backup and then Flashed a CWM Recovery on it !
Factory WIPED all the data for the new ROM ......
Then I was about to Flash this CM 7.1 ROM when all of a sudden it displayed the message that it wont work wihout the Latest Firmware .... so from there on I had no choice but to Restore my Backup and go back to a working OS, so I could easily proceed with Firmware update ...... but that never happened !!!
The Backup couldnt be recovered ...it failed for i dont know what reason ....ever since then the device never worked beyond the WHITE Sony Ericsson LOGO !!! Im stucked ..... even the CWM Recovery isnt working now !!
I'm stucked !! I've been looking for a solution for almost 3 days now .... but had no luck !!! dont know what to do from here on!! KINDLY HELP !! plzz plzz plzzz !! I desperately need to fix this !! the device even aint mine !!!
restore to stock by using sony ericsson update service
First, don't panic
And you have to notice and make this a lesson; if CWM said that your baseband is incompatible, it means, CWM is not flashing anything to your phone, yet.. So you only have to restart the phone, instead of recovering your CWM backup, and you'll be back to your default OS
Second, now find a tool named FlashTool, and also find a 2.1 stock firmware.. now proceed to flash with USB cable, you'll find the instruction together with the tool
Third, you'll be OK, trust me
first of all moedjs man !! Thx for sympathy n giving me courage !!
but could you kindly confirm that FlashTool would still work even If I'm unable to mount USB anywhere !! coz USB would charge phone but since I'm stuck on Sony Ericsson Logo and cant go beyond that point I'm unable to update my Firmware via PC Companion tool by Sony Ericsson tooo !!!
Thats the main reason I was panicking mate !! Kindly Kindly confirm that for me !! n I'm already liking your positive attitude ..so I do trust ya !! THX again !!
i don't understand why you can't use official seus? afaik it doesn't need anything beyond the se logo. power off phone, run seus on the pc, plug the cable while pressing the back key, etc; right?

Sir I've been through that .... for some reason it didnt work for me beyond "plug the cable while pressing the back key" STEP !! i dont know why !! i didnt have any effect watsoever, therefore I couldnt proceed with the 3rd STEP of Updating it ! =(
and is there anyway to Remove the battery !! coz once I use Home+Power Key combo it restarts device ...... is there any other combo to power off the phone, so I can atleast save battery !! anyway m also givin FLASHTOOL a try !!
can't power off? well, try these steps:
start seus on pc
connect phone and pc with usb cable
press both middle and right button at the same time and press the power button
when phone goes down keep pressing only the right button

Man I just tried turning on my device for the first time today !! Battery was discharged i guessed so Initially I got Red blinking LED light .... now even that its stable on Green .... !! my device isn't turning on !! not even showing that white Sony Ericsson logo now ! i dont know whats happening here !!
I'm trying to be calm but stuff like that keeps happening to me !! Kindly guide me with that !! its still green I hold power button n yet its showing no sign of turning on ! =(((
do you see charging battery in your screen? have you waited enough to boot it again and try the steps above?
still, if you need to disconnect the battery, here is a disassembling guide: http://goo.gl/jDd6q

Wow thanks for that Dis-Assembling guide ..... !! I'll ultimately have to try this if everything else fails ....
well I never saw Battery charging on screen !! i think not even when it was working fine !!
I think i'll give it some more time with charging !! coz it just showed me that SE logo again .... but when I tried to restart it .... the screen didnt turn back on !!!
also when SE Logo appears it appears automatically ......dont have to turn on the device ... and then also green LED light turns off ..... Im not sure whether its still charging at that time or not !! I think NOT ! this is kinda dodgy ! what do you reckon ?
no led light, no charge, i think. have you tried triple keys way again? it's kind of tricky, do it carefully.
Yeah I did !! I pressed HOME+Back at the same time and then had to Hold the Home button to turn the screen off ! then I repeatedly kept pressing the BACK button!
actually from there on it started blinking that RED Led light again .... ! I think its still needs more charging .... but then again If it charges enough to power the screen on automatically ..... the Green LED disappears .... so M kinda stuck in the loop here !
Oh God Help me !!

d. Plug USB cable to PC
e. Check if the green LED appear
f. On popup message press "OK" button
That OK Button never appears for me !! I dont knw wat to do next
Kindly help !!!!
i think flashtool needs a working system.
can you power off your phone or not? if able to do so, seus should work.
so, you have just one option if you can't start recovery: using seus.
and you've two options to start seus: the standart way, or the triple buttons way.
if you can enter recovery, you can try to wipe everything and flash a rom.
these are all i can say about it. hope you can solve it.

When charged enough there's no way to turn the device off ! I've tried both HOME+POWER & HOME+BACK then POWER (holding the back Key towards the end) button none of them actually works ! The Screen keeps powering back on, showing up that Sony Ericsson Logo !
Could it be USB Bricked or something ? (Apparently, since I cant access recovery I cant mount the device)
Try:
- turn off phone
- wait for 1 minute, phone still off
- connect to usb with flashtool
I have almost the same problem, my phone have been breaked several times but every time i had access to xrec or internet to solve problem.But this time when phone dischared for first time n I wanted to start it again I found that it's not gonna boot! Stuck on SE text logo... (I flashed CM7)
now it's charged ( although the screen was on, showing SE) n I have flasher n a rom.
but when i start to flash after showing "start Falshing" on screen (CMD) some seconds pass n CMD shows "write failed" n other things...
When i connect my phone to pc red LED shows itself for some seconds n after it disconnects itself while i'm pressing the back key...
And two questions:
1. Does it matter what the name of the ROM file -in firmware folder- is?...
2. I have to ftf files. on is about 108 MB n the other one 280 MB. Eachone can be a ROM?(I have tested Flasher with both of them.)
tnx

Thank you guys

had the same issue of not being able to connect my phone to pc to repair with seus. thanks loads the "press both midle and right button at the same time and press the power button" trick!!!
I tried your solution but seus just tell me my mini it's up-to-date and there's no more the button for installing anyway android.
The phone just reboots over and over
I seem to have a slightly different problem. I tried the process and right after it said that the phone is connected, the green light on the phone goes out and it looses connection to the phone and prompts me to reconnect. My phone is stuck on the sony ericsson logo, will not shut off and will not boot, can not be detected by the computer. I think I have little more than a very expensive hockey puck.

Hi,
Here is my problem.
I have Xperia x10 mini/ yesterday , but mistake, I installed the firmware of the X10 mini PRO !!!
Now, once I understood the mistake, I want to flash with x10 mini firmware.
In order to flash I need to have FLASHTOOLS and need to press the BACK button - the problem is that since the phone is using now the wrong firmware, the BACK button (needed for the flushing ) doesn’t do anything and thus, I cannot install the correct firmware. I tried pushing all other buttons without any luck.
Any idea how I can overcome this problem ? I can’t use my phone now.

The flashmode is initialized before any firmware is loaded, so that isn't your problem
It should always work when your phone is turned off, you press the back-button and attach it to your usb-cable, it should enter flashmode.
If you can't turn it off, connect your phone to your pc, press home and power together till the screen goes black, and then press the back-button.
Well,
I managed to turn the phone off ( using the home+power button), then release the two of them, pressing the BACK button and connecting the USB cable .
nothing hapenns till i release the BACK button and then the phone starts to load with the previous problem.
before installing the the wrong firmware, using the BACK button was OK.
any idea?
update
I managed to hold together the HOME+BACK button and then pushed the POWER button and flashed the E10i 2.1.1 A.0.6 firmware!!!!
while doing it, i noticed for a meesage that the phone is not rooted.
upon finishing the flashing, the phone doesnt boot up, i managed to see the green light and thats all.
i also downloaded the S1 tool in order to root the phone but it says that it can not detect the phone....
what should i do now?
---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------
update #2
phone doesnt boot up.
when i connect the flashtool i get the message "Device connected in flash mode".
how to continue from that point ?
Am sitting here breathless .. desperate no clue on what 2 do ! .. They say .. there's a problem with the battery other's say use SEUS .. another people say .. Try flash tool .. bin4ry's ... i really need an advanced help here guys ! SEUS no longer has the Reinstall for the software thing .. not anymore yes .. and Flashtools .. does no detect my phone .. the only alive thing in my phone .. is that Red LED .. works when i press on the power button .. it lights up 3 times .. and the phone turns on only when i connect it 2 the charger .. i dunno if its charging or not .. cause i can only see the Screen being stuck on SE logo .. the led .. is dead .. What now .. ? the new home of my phone is goin 2 be " trash " .. ?
PLEASE GUYS ! AN ADVANCED HELP !! PLEASE !!
I know that you really doesnt want this advice...
Try bin4rys flashtool 'terminal' edition
I know by my own experience that with Gui it sometimes fails to discover the phone. I tried with terminal one, and i succeded.
Take it easy, read, think, read, think

Use PC Companion to repair your device.
Are you sure your phone is completely shut down when using flashtool? Coz back then, my phone kept on booting as long as the battery is inseeted. So I took the battery out, prepare the flashtool within one click to begin and wit sleight of hand I put on the battery, connect the usb and press the back button and voila, it detected my phone and start the flashing process

This should really help!
1. On the yellow triangle right click and select "Update Driver..."
2. Download "Non-Gui" version.
3. Put 1.6 firmware on "firmware" folder.
4. Open "X10flash.bat"
5. Write "2" and press enter.
6. Write "y" and press enter.
7. Select operating system, but DONT PRESS ENTER!
8. Now connect USB to computer, but not in phone.
9. Turn off phone.
10. On phone hold back key and connect phone with USB, but dont relase key.
11. On flasher press enter while holding back key.
12. Relase it when it says "Sending Loader..."
This should fix your problem. This is how I done it!

just tell me you have mini or mini pro.
as you said your phone blinks red led three times it indicates your battery is not charged dont worry even if you put it whole night it wont because i got similar problem.
i will give you instructions after you tell me which phone do you have mini or mini pro
Edit: Se my next post in your thread
First, you need charge your phone! But you need do this with charge adapter (Not USB cable + PC), later try to flash you phone with flasher or SEUS.
If you phone is no start or booted - pressed Home+back+Power - this rebooted tour device !

true
just forget every method, start seus when it asks you to connect phone
just connect your phone without pressing back key, phone will boot
now press home+back+power keys as kobzarcheg said
your phone will vibrate and turn off with green light LED on
release power and home key but not back key
your phone will be detected and seus will either download the updated firmware or repair your phone
If you still haven't fixed your phone yet..
1) You need to charge your phone with the wall charger (red light on phone generally means battery level low) you can't charge it from your computer it needs to be the wall charger.
2) If you have already tried the newer version of Flashtool and had no luck then try this one.. (it is the original one I still use because it never fails, all thanks to Bin4ry for this tool.. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing it if it help you out)
Flashtool2.1(non GUI)
3) download, unzip and copy the firmware .sin files into the Firmware folder in flashtool (should be 8 or 9 .sin files) make sure you download the right ones for your phone! (mini-E10 pro-U20) from here..
mini
mini pro
4) run the flashtool.bat file and follow on screen instructions.
When it asks you to connect phone in "Flashmode" I suggest pressing the power button and middle button for 3 sec (to re-boot your phone if its a mini or if its a pro then take the battery out and put it back in again) then hold down the back <-- button while you plug the usb cable into the phone.. it should detect the phone and start flashing.
If it doesn't work the first time unplug the phone and try again!
good luck

Yep, I have a mini so I know you can't remove the battery
I would leave the phone plugged into the charger for a few hours.. (even if you don't know if its charging)
with a mini, pressing the power button and the middle button at the same time and holding them down for 3-4 sec is like taking the battery out and putting it back in.. when Flashtool asks you to connect the phone then you just need to plug the phone in while holding down the back key (the phone should be off (or between reboots) for you to do this)
(also had you ever plugged the phone in and ran pc suite or SEUS before this problem.. I wonder if you have the drivers for your phone installed on your computer? if it had worked for PC suite or SEUS in the past it should be fine.

I tried to install MiniCM6-1.0.2. to use android 2.2
"something" went wrong during install (sorry it's a long time ago and i can't remember).
now, each time i boot the phone, it runs into android boot logo. after white Sony Ericsson logo.
with usb cable connected, the pc sounds usb dev found, than usb dev disconnected and another usb dev found.
thereafter the android logo, in cool silver with an android circling around the sign with a comet-tail.
until the circling stops and the phone didn't do anything else.
the power key doesn't do anything too, so each time I have to remove the battery.
Is there anything I could do? a special key stroke - or a pen-reset button below anything?
please help.:crying:

Home-button (middle button at the bottom) and Power-button at the same time will give you a hard reboot.
unfortunately not

I tried this shortkey several times, different duration. but did not work.
seems to be a hang during OS boot. so, maybe no BIOS or OS shortkey could help.
Is there an option to force an factory default, or did I erase that option during Froyo install try?
thank you for your help :good:

That shortkey is a global shortkey, it even works when you get stuck on the kernel-logo (ie, if you didn't have a ROM at all), maybe there's a hardware-problem with your keys.
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?

THX nAa. VERY MUCH!!!
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.)

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.

While updating a new Xperia U to ICS the PCC had an error while flashing the new firmware. Now the screen lights up, the sony logo is shown for ~3-5 seconds and then it reboots.
After that I have been unable to get it recognized again by either PCC/SUS or flash tool.
I also checked my log files in Linux and no device appears.
I've tried 3 different machines (2x Windows 8, 1x Win 7), multiple USB ports. Also leaving the battery out for ~30 mins didn't change the behavior.
The green light for download mode comes on, but after about 5 seconds the light goes out and it goes into the boot loop again.
So by now I believe the device needs to be sent in, but maybe some one has a few more things I can try.
Try pressing the volume down plus volume up plus power button all 3 simultaneously till u feel 3 vibrations

Can you make sure the Flashtool drivers are installed ? Go to Flashtool Directory, open drivers directory and start the setup.. Make sure to select the Flashmode and Fastboot drivers are also selected. Then, reboot System and folow this order.
Startt flashtool,select f/w, wait for Flashtool to tell you to connect to device. Then, holding the Volume down button (while phone is switched off), plug the cable into phone (The usb cable must already be connected to PC before starting the Flash Procedure )
The Order is very important.. I had same issue with U (althoguh mine crashed with Flashtool and same as what you observed. When I followed this order, I was able to get it detected and flashed )
Hopefully, you wont need to return to Service Center
let me know how it goes
Cheers ! & Merry Christmas

No response, I've tried holding all three buttons for a minute, but it doesn't vibrate after turning on. The only way I can turn it off is by removing the battery.

I tried that right now, Flashmode and Fastboot drivers are installed. Flash tool is ready, device is plugged in with volume down pressed, green light comes on. Nothing is found on the PC, after about 5 seconds the green light turns off and the phone shows the sony logo. Green light also comes on if i simply plug in the usb without volume down pressed. So I'm thinking, the download mode has some how been corrupted?

Sorry about that, maybe a moderator can move my topic to the right section.
Are u connecting it properly???
Make sure when u connect ur cell to ur pc u have nt presed the power key
keep the phone off
Press the volume down button ( keep it pressed, dun
leave it) and connect it to the usb
U will see green light
Darn.. That looks bad.. That did it for me on every occasion. I think you might have a hardbrick due to the interrupted write cycle so I dont think any other way except to take it to Service Center
Sorry I couldnt help

Exactly what I'm doing and the green light does come on. Except it decides to go into a boot loop after it apperantly boots into download mode but doesn't stay there.

That's what I've been fearing. In which case it goes back to the seller in the hope that he will send me a new device.

Have you manage to recover your phone without taking it to service?
I'm in the exactly same situation... Any help is welcome...
While trying to enter flashmode, green light turns on but after some secs it turns off and sony logo appears on screen. any chance to recover this beautiful brick ?
thanks
After several tries (a lot of...) I manage to enter flashmode and SUS is now reinstalling sony ROM.
Honestly I don´t know how it works this time and not the others but i'm happy with it independently of what happens.
... seems flashtool is detecting ur phone try to flash first the stock kernel and do not wipe everything it shud be in timing though.. onces it is flash charge ur phone in kernel mode (phone is off) then you can flash the stock fw of ur XU.
I bricked my phone
I bricked my xperia U as well... When i tried to power ON, it just vibrates and nothing happens, i dont even get the sony logo. When i get into flash boot mode it gets connected but after 20secs, the phone turns off again. Only fastboot mode stays on. How can i unbrick my phone??? Plz help. I made a mistake by flashing the custom jelly bean rom without flashing the kernel first.

No worries. The phone turns off because it doesn't receive any signal from the PC - many people make the mistake of connecting the device in flashmode first, and then they start the flashtool etc.
Instead, load the flashtool first, go to flashmode, select a complete/full stock ftf for your phone (whichever version you want, but do double check if the ftf has kernel.sin file in it) and press the flash button. Only once you get the pop up with the animation telling you to connect the phone in flash mode, connect the phone in flashmode (volume - button pressed when connecting cable). As soon as you connect the phone, the flashtool will start its magic and your phone won't turn off.
if you can go in cwm wipe system then you will only be stuck on sony logo then use this guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPPWRXcsz7g.....it will work because this same happened to me and i fixed it with this method!
