One word, flashtool. If u dont know what it is, another word, google.
You're going to have to find a gingerbread firmware for xperia mini and flash it into your phone with the previously mentioned pc program flashtool

Hi everyone
I really need your help guys, I'm desperate!! I wanted to upadate my x10 mini to froyobread following all the instructions.
1. I rooted the phone with SuperOneClick
2. I flashed it using FlashTool, and here is the problem: I used a different firmware (e15i_2.1.1.a.0.6_Nordic) <--- That's the firmware for Xperia X8. The flashing was succesful, but when it finished, the phone started rebooting over and over with only a blackscreen (no SE logo).
I've tried many ways to restore the phone, such as:
1- FlashTool with a firmware for x10 mini (The problem is I need to check "USB Debugging" inside the O.S., so I couldn't repair it this way.
2- I tried PC Companion and SEUS but when I follow the program steps it says "Your phone is up to date so no needs bla bla bla..."
I don't know what else to do... I'm frustrated and really hope you can help me guys.
Thank'u
SOLVED:
Finally I fixed the problem flashing with x10flash and 1.6 android firmware (it's called "E10i_1.6 1.2.A.1.174 406.7z"). (x10flash isn't the same as Flashtool, so if you wanna recover to life your phone, you must use x10flash)
I put the rar files of the firmware 1.6 inside the "firmware" folder from "X10Flash-2.1" and then I flashed with the X10flash.bat file.
After that, when te x10flash.bat was opened, I select number "2" and then "N". Next, you have to select your operative system. (win xp, vista, 7, etc)
Finally, you can install the rom or baseband whatever you want.
(I can't put the links 'cos I'm a new member, but you can google them)
- E10i_1.6 1.2.A.1.174 406.7z
- x10Flash
I hope this helps.
Do you still have that files? I am unable to download that files . I have googled them but links have expired.
Thanks.
I think my X10 Mini Pro is stuck in a boot loop, it just shows the CM logo and freezes.
What I did to get this was:
Updated from 1.6 - 2.1 via SE PC Companion (2.1.1 A.0.6)
SuperOneClicked it and got it rooted, with Superadmin etc
Installed xRecovery (was working fine)
Loaded a ROM for the X10 Mini and not the Pro (Did not know there was a difference - no warning on the ROM page by the creator), and installed the ROM zip via xRecovery, which just stays in a boot loop and never starts, most of the time it just freezes and I have to pull out the battery.
So I went searching and found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040149
which lead me here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455
So I downloaded Flashtools and the UK firmware (dyzzel)
Place the content of the firmware zip (and the zip itself, as I didnt know to extract or not) in the firmware folder of flashtools, then opened flashtools (2.8 and 2.9) click flash, where it asks me to find the firmwares but the browser doesnt show any files Ive put in that folder.
Thats as far as Ive got, need some help as Im cracking up.
Fixed now. SEUS.
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.

THIS METHOD MAY UNROOT MANY OTHER SONY XPERIA PHONES. (USE SONY PC COMPANION TO EASILY UNROOT YOUR SONY XPERIA PHONE OR TABLET).
I made a mistake and rooted my Sony Xperia SP smartphone. I wanted to unroot the phone and remove Superuser. The phone had a Chinese Superuser after I followed instructions on a YouTube video: "How to Root Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean (Universal Method)"
Initially I tried to flash the phone with the latest firmware (currently 12.0.A.2.254). I found software to flash the phone (Flashtool), but I could not find the drivers required by the program FlashTool. (No need to do this).
Sony has software (Emma) to flash xperia phones, but the Sony Xperia SP is not supported. You also need a username and password after approval by Sony. (No need to do this)
The above methods were NOT necessary for me to unroot my Xperia SP phone, and it didn't work for me.
I used the following method to successfully UNROOT my Xperia phone:
1. This step is NOT necessary. You can just go to step 2
1.1 Delete all data on SD card: On Phone go to Settings, Storage, Erase SD card.
1.2 Reset the phone: On the Xperia: Settings + (Under Personal) Backup & Reset. This removed previously installed apps, but didn't remove Superuser. The phone was still rooted.
2. USE SONY PC COMPANION TO REPAIR PHONE
2.1 Install Sony PC Companion.
( This software loads automatically on your PC when you connect your phone to a PC. This software is used to upgrade the software on the phone. The Sony Xperia SP phone promps to install this software when it is connected to a PC.)
2.2 I did not make any changes to any settings on the phone after the reset done in step 1. No need to make any changes of any settings on phone.
2.3 Connect the phone with USB cable to PC, and wait for PC companion to show its connected to phone. No need to change any settings on phone.
2.4 On SONY PC COMPANION, just go to SUPPORT ZONE, and click on START
Under the heading PHONE TABLET SOFTWARE UPDATE, click on START and follow the instructions.
2.5 Software downloads and reinstall the latest software for the phone.
2.6 Disconnect phone from PC when prompted.
3. IT took me about 10 minutes to UNROOT the phone.
4. In order to verify the phone is Unrooted I downloaded Root Checker Basic from Google Play / Android App store. I received the info, Sorry! This device does not have proper root access. Therefore the device is UNROOTED, and back to standard.
5. The (Chinese) Super user (blue shield) application is also deleted from the phone.
I hope this will help. It's a very quick, easy and effective solution to unroot Sony Xperia SP (C5303) mobile phones.
I believe you can use this method with other Sony Xperia phones supported by Sony PC companion software.

Tutorial Flashing Update Sony Xperia C4 E5333 for download errors, application errors, the touchscreen is not sensitive, exposed to the virus internal memory, loading a boot loop, until the hardbrick could be detected in a firmware update for the computer drivers. Below you can find the latest firmware for phones:
How to Flash the latest firmware to Sony Xperia C4 E5333
1.First of all, check your firmware version (if you already have the latest, you do not need this tutorial).
2.Download and install the latest Flashtool from this following link:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/
3. How To Use Sony Flashtool Tutorial can be found at this following link:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/use-the-flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/
4.Download the latest Firmware Xperia C4 E5333 from all Sony firmware available in this following link:
http://zonexservice.blogspot.com/2015/06/all-stock-rom-sony-xperia-firmware.html?m=
5.Paste FTF file downloaded in step 4 to the folder "Firmware" in the folder Flashtool.
6.Open Flashtool, click on the flash and select the firmware which was downloaded, click ok. Important - if you do not want to delete the data from your phone, simply uncheck userdata.sin. All data will remain in your phone, but sometimes it can cause additional problems. So it is better and i do recommend too, to perform a backup of your personal data, then continue with the installation raw and then restore your personal data.
7. Turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows a pop-up window, connect the phone to the PC by clicking the volume down key until the green led color appears.
8. After a few minutes all done and you'll get a new updated firmware phone."
Hello, this is my first time here - I'm from brazil, so, first, please excuse me for the bad english.
I have a C4 Dual , model E5343 (Brazil retail), and months ago I've flashed the MEA version, model E5333 - 5.1
Now, the official 6.0 update of the E5343 is available for download with Xperia Companion. I've tried to download this version and flash it with the flash tools. All drivers and services are installed and activated (in 2 PCs), and I've downloaded 2 versions of the flash tools - both of them didn't worked. So, when I was about to flash, after selecting the model C4 (E5xxx), I've always got this message - Process finished with error - loader.sin.
Later I've tried to do the recovery with Xperia Companion, and it gives me this error message: UEGetPhoneInfoMissingInfo
E5343 3521 1295-0292 R3A 27.2.B.0.169.
What should I do? Wait for the OTA update? Or can I do anything to fix this errors so I could flash it correctly?
PS - Using fastboot or unlocking the bootloader would help somehow?
Thanks!
would you need to unlock bootloader first before you can flash?
