This damn device vibrating all the time and it's impossible to use it, even can't call someone, that drives me crazy anymore, and all I can do seems like using a script revealed on the web. However to be able to run that script, if I'm not mistaken, I have to root the device.
Well, rooting a.62 entails unlocking the boot loader. Don't know why I couldn't manage it. So, tried to downgrade to A.42 with WotanClient. However, again, it didn't work. Just connecting the device while holding the volume down button, but the application can't recognize the device.
Now, what can I do to make those script stuff work, if rooting is the only way to go, then how can I root A.62 version ?
Check THIS thread and thank the author if it helps

Turn the phone off, hold down Volume DOWN button, connect the USB cable. Green LED has to turn on, nothing will be on the screen. Then is phone in flashmode. If app cannot find the device, install proper drivers.
Well, I downloaded booth flashtool and firmware. Followed the steps in the given instructions however when I connect the device by pushing and holding volume down button, it identifies the device but does nothing, then device gets disconnected by itself. What am I supposed to do.

Well I'm not very knowledgeable about it but if you root it on 0.58 you have to stick to it, even the reason downgrading is to be able to root it, since recent versions can not be rooted, right.

The problem your hpone has is a common problem. (look up on google). It is caused by a know issue on the Xperia Mini. The overheating. I experienced the same issue too. The capacitive buttons are actually heat sensetive and respont to the warmth of the body when touched. In case of mini, due to faulty hardware, the touchscreen getss excessively hot, and the back button asusumes "touch" all the time.
Many thought it was over sensitiveness of the back button rather than over heat of the device. But it turns out, the Sony themselves recognised the issue, and promised a replacement. I did it myself from the local Service Centre, I will recommended you to go the same.
About flashing using flashtool, first select the ROM in flashtool, and then connect the device by pressing the back button when asked.

Once flashed the 058 firmware and rooted it, you can upgrade via OTA (not PC Companion) to .62 without losing root.
Remember that having an unlocked bootloader would brick the phone. Use OTA only with locked bootloader.

Thanks for your post, but I'm aware of the reason of that problem and as you said I followed all the steps, including connecting while depressing the volume down button, but nothing happens, flashing process does not start.
Try to download the latest version of flashtool.
Somehow I managed to downgrade to .42
And then rooted it with a dos interfaced application. Looks like it has been rooted but how can I tell if it is or not ?
When it comes main reason of all those burdensome endeavor, I'm tried to run the script for heating problem. Installed the Gscript. Created a new script and click to run, however a blue screen comes up and nothing happens. Vibration problem still reigns.
To know if you have root, just check if SuperUser app is installed. Now when you run GScript, SuperUser shuold ask you if you want to allow root access for the application. If not, there's a problem :/
:/ there is no such application on the menu.
But the doomlord_v4_root application has worked well and it said "all done" at the end and restarted the phone.
Oh well... I don't know -__-
I mean, I'm not such an expert user, maybe someone else knows if this is a common issue or not. Sorry, you'll have to wait for someone else's help

Go to HERE and download Flashtool 0.4.2.0, with it, you can root, install xrecovery and unlock bootloader, if you wish.
You need have android 2.3.3, and don´t downgrade kernel.
If you want, install stock firmware.
It´s easy.
right, so do i just click install recovery?
because i rooted it, exactly like that, im running busybox version 1.8.4 or something like that, someone told me it automatically installed xrecovery when i rooted it... is this true? thanks
When you root phone with flashtool, it just root your phone. For install xrecovery you need click on install xrecovery, and when it over, you have xrecovery installed.

Yes, you click the install recovery button. And no, when you root your phone, xrecovery is not added.
A little reminder also, you will never break the x10 by flashing to many times. So every time you run into something like accidentally downgrading kernels, just flash stock FW and start over. Again, the only true way for someone to permanently damage the x10 is only by damaging the USB port. So hold dear to that little port.
Hope you resolve your issue brah. Peace

its ok ive sorted now, thanks. dont know how to close a thread but this is sorted now, thanks guys!
I still don't know about any rooting process and there was a lot of instructions I can't understand. Almost all of them are in shortcuts. I tried searching but almost all of it was too much complex for me. Computer illiterate here. >_<
I tried rooting my phone when it was still .42 using the one with zergrush. And now I updated my phone via PCC the root was gone. And I can't seem to root again via same method.
I downloaded things I saw here like the flash tool, fast boot, cwm and I don't gave a single clue how to use them right and there was this OTA or OTE updating to .62 which I don't understand what it is. I'm afraid I may do something bad to my phone.
Is there a way to root my phone again without unlocking the bootloader? Seems like on some of what I understand you have to unlock it, to use fastboot, flashtool or CWM. But I'm afraid to do it. Can you help me with the clearest instruction on how can I root my phone again? Thanks. And sorry for being ignorant with this things >_<
hello
you could flash .42 with wotanserver and root it, after that, update phone on phone! not pc companion, root will not stay. if you have unlocked bootloader, try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134335
root should stay, if you ota
Why creating new thread? I see you already know much, so that means you read some threads, so why starting new one in stead of replying in existing one?
OTA update is Over The Air update, meaning you need to use update center option in your setttings->about phone, not using pc companion or seus.

1) better to bump older thread(even though I'm sure it was already bumped ) than to create new thread, because that way you spread information on more places, instead of one place
2)fastboot mode: phone turned off, while holding menu, key connect cable, blue LED should turn on.
3)flashmode: phone turned off, while holding back key, connect cable, green LED should go on.
4)CWM can be installed even on locked bootloader, but you need to have root to install CWM
5)how to enter CWM? that depends on CWM, on some you need to press repeatedly back key while booting, some pressing volume-, on some you need to tap on screen.
6)you can flash any fw, whether you use flashtool(link to tutorial) and flash .ftf file, or using wotan-server(easier for new guys)

Not if you wanna have root, and keep your bootloader locked.
As you already noticed(by your experience) you can't root .62. So flash .42, root, and do OTA update.

on some other, smaller forums, they let new peoples to create new thread for their problems.

hey guys, this is my first time i would say i bricked my phone. i need someone to help me my phone has been in 'coma' for nearly 2 days now.
so this happened when i try to apply this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306044 and after i carelessly copied framework-res.apk to system/framework using root explorer without setting the correct permissions, my phone automatically shuts off and try to restart but it failed, it stucked on the big sony ericsson logo and 'sony ericsson' text.
i have pull out the battery hundred times and try to reboot my phone normally but it didnt worked it still stucked on the sony ericsson logo.
so can anyone help me please...
what tools/application should i get to fix this?
first of all, i dont want to wipe/lose/factory reset my phone memory data because that would make my phone contacts gone which i never ever want to happen. so please is it possible to backup my contacts somewhere else if wiping is the answer at least??
okay i took a lot of time to type this and hoping someone give me an answer

Congratulations, you have felt the power of customizing Android for the first
Actually, one way to fix this now, is to get back to fully stock firmware.
The second way would be to unlock bootloader, install a custom kernel, enter recovery and use Fix Permissions option. Unfortunately, not all Recoveries have this, only some versions of ClockworkMod Recovery. I have used many kernels on my LWW and only some of these included this option and I can't remember which one had, which not.

If contacts is too important for you and you have no backups, then go for the 2nd way - Unlock bootloader and install a custom kernel, which offers the Fix Permissions option.
I will check the Update Service, if Repair option will erase user data or not, currently updating my phone.
EDIT: Yes, removes all data.

Actually, i think you could've salvaged your phone without the need of flashing it... If you had access to CWM, you could've put framework file into zip file and flash it with CWM. It helped me once when i got stuck in bootloop after failed installation of a mod

its very easy to recover your phone if you got bootloop or stuck at sony ericsson logo. dont sweat.
first of all you need a stock .ftf firmware downloaded. any .ftf stock firmware .58/62/42 or whatever as long as it is stock.
then download and install flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309
then put your downloaded .ftf firmware at c:/program files/flashtool/firmwares/"your downloaded .ftf firmware"
then open flashtool and click on the lightning icon. and choose flashmode.
then press volume down button, while you do that connect your phone to pc using usb then flash the firmwares. then boom your phone back to life

first of all you need a stock .ftf firmware downloaded. any .ftf stock firmware .58/62/42 or whatever as long as it is stock.
then download and install flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309
then put your downloaded .ftf firmware at c:/program files/flashtool/firmwares/"your downloaded .ftf firmware"
then open flashtool and click on the lightning icon. and choose flashmode.
then press volume down button, while you do that connect your phone to pc using usb then flash the firmwares. then boom your phone back to life

you my friend are a dangous man !! flashing it now thanks again i got the stock rom
Problem Resolved
I think that is a bootloop problem , you can try this method. It helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4nfePh0KQc&feature=plcp
I also had this same problem when installing hybrom v17 with lock bootloader and stock kernel. It helped me a lot. Hit thanks if I helped
So I just got the phone today and decided to upgrade to ics, that was a big mistake. The phone won't turn on . When I plug it into the computer it has the green charging led but when I plug it into the charger nothing just a dark green led that will blink every 10 seconds or so. don't care if I have to downgrade I just want it to work. Also when it's not plugged in it does the same dark green blink and when I try turning it on nothing no vibration or anything.
Use flashtool to unbrick your device.

Weird, maybe you flashed it wrong. Anyways, go back to GB and then flash again to ICS if you'd like to, you shouldn't get any troubles downgrading.

As for my knowledge this is not possible! but next time use the "MyPhoneExplorer" it keeps contacts in PC so whenever u flash firmware, install its client on phone and run this software on PC and then it will put all the contacts that u had on ur phone before flash. last night i had done rooting on my phone by following steps hope it will also help u for flashing a firmware via flashtool.

Provided you updated via seus try this

I don't think you'll void your contract because you are re flashing the service providers update .
Your problem may be due to incomplete flashing .
Press thanks if I helped you!

Which provider do you have? You are scared if you flash an international firmware instead of the one from your provider, you can't use sim card or what's the problem about that?

You mean your provider, right? Not your contacts like everyone else are saying. Well, nothing will happen, it's just an international firmware, you won't lose the contract... Don't worry
Don't worry bro, It has nothing to do with your Provider. Go ahead.

Wait, what? I don't think so, just downgrade to GB, and then root.

1.He upgraded his device to ics and the phone won't boot.
2.He doesn't want to downgrade (gb) or reflash (ics) using international ftf firmware (flashtool method) .
3. He always used official update software and he is afraid of voiding the CONTRACT with his service provider if he uses flashtool method.
4. Please read the op clearly he doesn't mean CONTACTS he means the CONTRACT with his service provider.
5. To the op,
Please post your problem step by step clearly and highlight the important words by using upper case letters or different color.
6. As I've never used a network contract phone I cannot comment on this thread confidently. So others please try to help the op.
Press thanks if I have helped you .

One won't lose the warranty if he/she fails in an official upgrade, send it to the dealer for repair before trying oneself with Flashtool, which may alter the build.prop, and else. Right?
By the way, my Xperia Mini Pro fails to change the input method by long pressing the text input area with.431 ics ROM, any hints? Thanks.

If you have never rooted and bootloader is locked (and I think it is), please send it to service or give it to the shop where you've bought it. This is better, and because it was an official update, you should be able to claim your warranty.
If you try to do it yourself with flashtool, you will modify your phone and if they find out, your warranty is lost. So please don't flash it, give it to service
Model: RNE-L22
Compilation: RNE-L22C636B132
Already UNLOCKED the phone.
Installed the TWRD but I think I did it wrong. Only can acces to it pressing volume up + volume down + power.
If I preess volume up + power it goes to Huawei eRecovery.
If I press volume down +power I go to fastboot.
So now each time I try to boot my phone it is so slow. Like I have to wait 5 minutes to boot up.
Already did a factory wipe from the phone and still lags, when someone calls me on whatsapp my phone freezes....
Yes, I enabled developer mode, enable usb debugging, did unlock bootlader and my windows 10 doesn't have issues with detecting the driver of the phone (no yellow sing on devices).
Any help?
Guys, stop unlocking and rooting this phone,no benefits at all for doing this,only u will get inconvenience issue and problems.keep it official
My suggestion for u to unroot and block the bootloader again

Wait, you're saying your phone freeze when it's in a brand new state ? If so try flashing a different update with HWOTA8.
If it keeps doing that you might have a faulty phone. I yet to have a single freeze on mine.

I'm on XDA daily and I haven't rooted or unlocked a boot loader in many, many years!
There are many good reasons to be here... primarily because more knowledgeable people are here to help with issues other than rooting and ROM's.

Gotta explain me how you were helping here, the OP was asking for help to root the phone and you go like : "Don't root it s*cks, slows the phone down, etc..." while everything you said is utter bullsh*t.
I've rooted/flashed cROMs on basically every phone I've owned and never had a single drawback except for Samsung Pay which is an invalid argument for the M10.

in my opinion another thing u can do is to restore complete firmware which is already backup by other people and also me. i hope u have a twrp so restore complete firmware (twrp backup) according to your version.
