Hi!
Having looked around, almost smashed my computer & phone to bits i thought I'd ask on here if anyone can help me out here. I have an Xpreia X10 Mini Pro.. It had Android 1.6 and i wanted to update it to 2.1.. (network locked to 3)
Two things happened here, PC Companion didn't work on my PC.. Dont know why, so i used SEUS(Sony Ericsson Update Service) to get me the update. This update downloaded successfully, then decided it would give up after about 5% of install.. Bricking my phone.
So i downloaded Flashtool. Great! (i thought). I installed everything, downloaded the UK 2.1 firmware in .SIN format, compiled it (or bundled). I had a rough idea of what i was doing however two steps were missed by the tutorial on this site.
My Flashtool asked me on bundling what model my phone was, there were 2 option which may apply, the first: Xperia Mini Pro, the second, X10. i chose X10.
then asked me if i wanted a locked bootloader or unlocked. ?! not knowing what this meant i opted to make two ftf files, the first with the locked second with unlocked.
none of those worked.. this is what i got in flashtool log:
10/017/2011 15:17:14 - INFO - Searching Xperia....

i also not that in the stderr.txt file i had this:
"Error loading log4j properties file."
although i cant be sure as to when this happened.
Please help. I'm going to lose my mind here.
By the sounds of it you downloaded the latest flashtool which doesnt support our x10 mini pro. Try downloading an earlyer one and try again.

I kind of brick my Xperia x10 (I know it's not called brick). I did root, install xRecovery and after that went straight away to install a new custom ROM. When I reboot the x10 just got blocked with the SE logo.
I tried SEUS, and didn't work saying that I've got the last update. I'm trying flashtool now, but my problem is, that now after 10 seconds it changes from flash mode to SE logo, and I can't do anything else...
Please, I really need help, I'm totally a noobie
This is the log from Flashtool:
11/059/2012 17:59:42 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
11/000/2012 18:00:03 - INFO - Device disconnected
11/000/2012 18:00:03 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
I took the risk to try to flash a ftf file in those 10 seconds and it DID work!!!
Bless it. So, I'm gonna try to carry on with the other guides. Anyway, if you have any advice it'll very much appreciated
Which version of flash tool have you used for this? This was a bug in on of the versions in the recent past that seems to have been fixed now.
Also, which Rom were you trying to install? (not related to your problem, just asking )
The Flashtool is ver. 0.6.7.0 running on Windows 7 64 bits.
I just installed the firmware Sony Ericsson X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897.
Trying to follow this guide now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343 but it appears a camera with an arrow when I'm installing the xRecovery 0.3...
I was thinking to install the ThGo2's ROM because I read good reviews about it, especially about the battery life...
Any recommendation?
I have mostly stuck to stock-based ROMs. I haven't used ThGo2 ROM long enough to give an informed opinion. Right now I am using Wolfbreaks ROM with DoomKernel. The camera is somewhat crippled in the CM/MIUI roms but otherwise you could have a look at those also.
first, I tried to install new rom NeroDroid_ROM_v5_3 by using xrecovery rather than clockwork. the rom was installed succesfuly but after rebooting, it stucks in sonyEricsson logo.
anyway, I decided to restore the original firmware using latest Flashtool, but the problem was that the green light shutoff which means it disconnects from the flash mode, nd turns on and stucks in SE logo again.
this the video that I've recorded during the process: www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=anON2ST9_Lg&feature=youtu.be
this my record shows in Flashtool :

Please, anyone help on this one, really gets me confused.
i'm having the same problem =/
re
Where r u specialists?, we need your help plz!!!
All what I could say is that either USB or phone seems to be faulty. USB port for me sometimes just disconnects without any reason and then reconnects.
For now... you'll have to try to connect it to other USB port (but as you have laptop, hopefully you have 2nd port, otherwise you'll have to connect USB to PC).
Other way is to send USB port to SE for repair probably. I can't suggest anything else.
From the log of flashtool i see that you tried to flash x10 rom and kernel, maybe you can find kernel/rom file for your device? And what actually mini pro you are using (x10 mini pro or mini pro)?
OMG, FOR GOD'S SAKE, you flashed X10's firmware, pray for this not to be a brick!
Now, follow my guide immediately! (In your video I saw you have X10 Mini Pro, this guide is only for X10 Mini Pro, so you are OK.)

Hello guys,
I´m new here, and before everyone starts throwing stones on me , I´ve already tried some steps and got stuck (the welcome video is awesome! hehe).
Well, I tried to update my android on my phone, and after the reboot, got stuck on sony ericsson title screen.
1. I searched over the internet same issues, and i got this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602489 .
2. I followed Someguyfromhell indications at this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
3. I got the flash tool , PC companion, base drivers, and the ftf file for flashing.
4.After install flash tool, selected the ftf file, and got this message :
05/019/2012 14:19:47 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
I think the rom file is not compatible with my phone (2010 production date).
I tried to find other ftf files, without success.
Anyone can help me with that?
Thanks in advance
Use the repair option in PC Companion to restore your stock firmware if at all possible.
After that, you can tell us how you tried to update the android on your phone, like: what did you want to update it to, which rom did you choose, what steps did you take...
By the way... the links you provided were for 2011 devices, Experia Mini and Mini Pro
the 2010 devices are Experia x10 mini and x10 mini pro. Different hardware altogether, I know it's confusing but please be careful where you choose your new software from
Don't feel too bad though, we've all made mistakes, just try to be a bit specific as to what you did first that made your phone get stuck, we can go from there.
well
Hello Guys,
After a loong search i found one ROM who fits with my cellphone - kind of old one.
I followed the steps on flashtool and "recovered". Sometimes it acts strange : if I turn off, it's very difficult to turn on in normal ways.. i need to plug on usb or re-flash... and if I switch the sim card, sometimes works, sometimes not...
Now its stable, but I think something is wrong.
and i got this information about my current version status :
Model : U20i
Firmware Version : 1.6
Kernel : 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
Compilation Number : 1.1.A.0.8
Is there any possibility to upgrade my android version?
use the upgrade option in PC Companion
Again... what rom did you download, what steps did you take.. be specific when you ask questions, and please, let us know if you tried the advice given when you ask a question

are you have try use SEUS new version to get SE original rom+kernel , its work to me when i downgrade my E10i from MiniCM9 to SE original stock.
if you want to upgrade your phone to android 2.3 you can try MiniCM7 for U20i or for MiniCM9 for android 4.0.4.
I already try used MiniCM7 and MiniCM9 with nAa kernel, and its work fine to my E10i.
Help
i have the same problem i try to install MiniCM9 and it get stuck what should i do?

Where do you get stuck? What steps did you take? Give us some information to work with, otherwise no one can help you.
What device do you have?
Did you install the proper kernel?
What does your phone do when you turn it on after flashing?

then i used flashtool at least i tryed to fastboot. but i couldent seem to get my phone in fastboot mode only flashmode.
and i dident see the option reboot into fastboot mode (via abd) but now i do see it.

and now its stuck at the sony ericsson name and wont go in cwm. only flashmode works. also i tried xperia companion.
at the pc companion i got this error after entering flashmode and trying to repair it:

Hi, not very at easy with Sony (had an HTC and have a Morola Razr HD now), tried to help out a familymember having issues with his Xperia X10 (regular reboots/switching off randomly) by rooting, unlocking the B/L, adding a recovery and ending in installing a new rom.
Well, until the last part all functioned!
Then, the ROM...here things went wrong, tried sveral ones and had often the message where it couldn't launch the zip, modified the file as per instructions on XDA, retried, nothing.
I tried a last time, went away for "a sec" and upon my return I had the Sony Ericsson mask, which wouldn't go away.
Tried to check via Flashtool, phone still recognized, phone is seen as in "flasmode" but basically I'm unable to flash anything, nothing seems to be accepted....
Any ideas? Or should I simply throw the phone away?
thanks for the help!
PS tried to look all over the different pages, but didn't find a similar issue - hope I didn't miss anything (which could have saved several hours of stress, anger etc....)
cheers,

Hi mate try flashing this ftf file with flashtool. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516960 Thank's to Tof.
You can drag and drop the ftf into flashtool as well. Make sure toTick no final verification.
Hold back key and plug usb into phone while turned off...
You may be flashing the wrong zip for the recovery you have, to change recovery just flash new kernel and when the green light comes on press back on phone to enter recovery, don't worry you can fix this. :good:
Exactly as mate above me said.
And for the random reboots, the battery may just be broken. Check if it shuts down when using some more powerful apps or for example recording a video. Then it's battery

Hi,
it worked - several times via SEUS & above!
Thanks!
Just 1 more question I/o to avoid same (....): I'd like to install JB on it, downloaded CM10, but just to be sure, how to proceed? There are kernel files, as well seperate as in the ROM; recovery isn't installed yet (Flashtool indicates "to be implemented").
Thanks for the advice here as well
cheers
Hi,

Thanks for the help.

The error is for the rooting option, just wait for it to prepare the files and after a few minutes it should show you the pop up window to connect your phone and hold the buttons.
Also 9.18 had some problems I'd recommend using 9.15 for flashing Kitkat.

I wish you luck, if you've replaced your broken display before it doesn't work with custom roms. Only the stock roms and a few custom ones based on stock will work. Also saw someone using Xperia companion to fix things but you have re-lock your bootloader.
