x10 mini pro soft-bricked no tutorial helps - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi i had x10 mini pro with unlocked bootloader, naA kernel and gingersony ROM. It was working fine for couple of weeks after unlocking bootloader and flashing new ROM, but now it didn't turn on (red light flashed three times and thats it) then i tried holding power + back key then led changed to orange, but it still didn't turn on. Then charged the battery for 2h the led turned to green, tried to turn on the phone vibrated the green led flashed once, but the black screen just keeps turning on with no logo and it's like in bootloop (i can hear the device being recognised by computer when USB is plugged in). Don't know tried Flashing original firmware with flashtool, original kernel, tried locking the bootloader, PC companion and SEUS they both download the software and everything flashes fine, but same bootloop is happening and i need to pull the battery out to stop it. Dont know what else i can do?

3 red flashes = low battery.
your symptoms sounds wierd are you sure you did all that correctly?

Flash stock firmware and leave it to charge for about a day.

Well, when i remove my sd card exaclt that happens to me, until i return the SD, or use repair on PC companion

i think the bootloader is broken, when i turn on the phone from cold restart the phone vibrates and the black screen turn on and off... I can flash with flashtool and PC companion and SEUS, but nothing helps, the same bootloop repeats. I don't know what else i can try i think it's hardbricked. What else i can try?

check with s1 tool if there is a small r if so just flash stock rom

the s1tools show "R" i have flashed with SEUS and PC companion and flashtool but nothing helps. The phone shows black screen for 10 sec and then reboots and same black screen, no logo nothing. How can i revive it?

Your battery is discharged, change it for other to test.

you have to unlock your bootloder with flash toll

i don't have another battery and tried without battery with charger plugged in, but it's the same. I have flashed with unlocked bootloader and with locked, but nothing helps. Is it hard bricked? no hope?

I had the same problem, and only i changed the battery for my K850i.
Try to charge the battery with a universal charger.
Other solution is flash stock kernel, beacuse nAa kernel i think dont work off charge.

you flashed a costuom kernel without unlocking your bootloder
unlock your bootloder
and than flash back to stock rom

This same issue has happened to me several times while installing custom ROM. One of your SW component is broken, when you dont know what went wrong, you should revert back to SE default rom using PC companion. Go to software update and then reset device. Follow the instructions. Once your device is back start with your R&D.
The issue seems to be because your device has custom ROM running on SEMC kernel.
You need to unlock your bootloader. Install nAa GB kernel and
Install the GB ROM. Let me know if you need the links.

i have tried unlocking bootloader, but it doesnt work, in flashtoold there's no option in plugins>unlock/run and msm7227_semc.bat doesn't work. Maybe i got it locked with nAa kernel, but i tried locking the bootloader after i have tried SEUS, flashtool and PC companion. Maybe i can flash something with flashtool to revive it?

[Q] Phone bricked, flashtool not working with phone.

I'm running cobrato's miui rom with his modified version of doomlord's fully over clocked kernel.
The problem is, when I hold down the power button to turn it on, nothing happens. The same thing if I pug it into a charger or my computer. I can get it into flash mode and I tried flashing a new kernel but when it flashes the loader it gets stuck at 13%. I also tried flashing stock 2.3 firmware but again, flashtool can't flash the loader.

did you try restore from PC companion or SEUS?
^ true that
Try using SEUS to repair your phone, sometimes when everything else seems to fail, surprisingly the one thing we've always ignored, actually works !!
I did try that. It keeps saying, "There's no new software for your phone. Please try again later."
Hi, so your phone coulb be save...
You may need to reinstall the stock rom and start your config again...
In PC Compagnion (I think SEUS doesn't work again)
Go to SUPPORT ZONE / UPDATE PHONE / REPAIR PHONE...(I'm not sure it's exactly the same words because it's in french language for me..)
I hope it solved your problem or someonelse idea, because no news...

is this what they call bricked phone?

So I've got a Xperia X10 mini pro. It had a CM7.2 on it and some nAa kernel. I've downloded another rom and flash it. Everything ok.
When I wanted to reboot the phone after the flashing, CWM said something about some CWM error or something like that. I've ignored it and now the phone gets stuck at the booting process.(powers up, sony ericsson logo apears and nothing happens). If I put the battery in, it sometimes powers up by himself. I can't get in flashmode(back key, menu key...none of them works). Windows recognises something like SEMC bla bla.. I already have a rooted, flashed Xperia Neo so I'm not exacly a noobie, but I'm a noobie at x10.
So, any thoughts? Thanx alot!

You need to flash the kernel appropriate to the ROM.
You are on Stock kernel, and not some nAa one, so your last ROM had CWM (or xrecovery) included. This is not included in ROMS that run on nAa kernel because the nAa kernel has got it built-in. That's why it disappeared when you installed a new ROM, now find the kernel that belongs to it.
I can't flash any kernel, any rom or anything because the phone can't get connected to PC, no flashmode, no nothing. The led isn't blinking or anything not even when I connect the charger.

If you take out the battery it works sometimes you say, so take out your battery, f it powers up and gets stuck on the SE Logo, connect it to your pc, press power and home buttons together to get a hard reboot, as soon as the screen goes black, press the back-button to get into flashmode. ofcourse make sure your software is asking for flashmode before you do all that.
what I mean by powering up by himself is that it acts like I'm powering it up but it still get's stuck at se logo. I'll try the hard reboot thingie.
PLEASE try this.
remove your battery.
use flashtool to flash the 2.1 firmware of SE. or use SEUS.
connect your phone to the PC and be ready for flash mode.
hold the back button.
then insert the battery while holding the back button.
it will go to flashmode.
then start flashing the firmware.
afterwards you will be reverted to 2.1 eclair.
connect to usb debug
then root your phone using flashtool.
unlock the bootloader using s1tool.
flash the nAa kernel using flashtool.
put the zipROM on your SDcard.
enter the cwm recovery.
wipe data/cache/dalvik cache then flash the rom.
if you encounter an error on flashing the rom e.g(you experience flashing in just a very short time, then the rom is not flashed) format your SDcard then redo the flashing.
I hope this helps.
PS. on some cases, when your phone is bricked. you can directly flash the nAa kernel then flash the rom.

How old is your X10minipro? I'm asking this because of your LED notif lights are not working. you maybe need to read this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935124
I after some research I supose I've deleted the recovery( xrecovery area). For those who say to press any combination of keys it doesn't work.
I got the phone in service, they said it needs flash but the gay phone wont comunicate with the pc so they didn't promise anything. I will return with news.

Yes, I told you that you removed xrecovery, because it was included in the ROM that used your stock kernel. You then flashed a ROM that needs a custom kernel, and it is included in the kernel then, so not in the ROM anymore. That's why you lost it. but that has nothing to do with flashmode however
thats the reason I've got it to service. Something wrong with hardware or boot area preventing the phone getting into flashmode( I suppose)...
Thanks
thanks for the thread now I able to do more than just rooting more save
The X10 mini is up and running. He had recovery and not a CWM(as I have now).
The problems was with the USB port, and it still is but I/ve managed to get it connected with Flashtool after removing and putting back the battery while holding he back key .
After 2 service shops and 2 weeks of waiting they both said to me "There is a comunication problem with the phone. Sorry!"
So, if anyone has problems like mine, they should get their usb port changed(5-10Euros) or try for as much as they need to get the phone connected( I tryied for almost 1 hour to get the green led and another half hour to get a stable connection as it whould get in flashmode but not being recognized in flashtools PS: changing the position of the data cable by standing up or down/more to the left or more to the right helps ).
Thank you all for the feedbacks!!

Xperia U won't boot. Help needed

Hello.
I have rooted the xperia U using the flashtool by following a guide available on xda. Everything worked fine. I wanted to install a custom rom for which I had unlock my bootloader and flash a custom recovery for flashing the rom. I downloaded and flashed cwm. So I unlocked the bootloader using the official method, i flashed the boot.img of the custom rom(in fastboot) and tried to go to recovery, but my phone wouldn't switch ON now.
I was able to make it reach flashboot mode(green) and tried flashing ftf.. Even that's not working.
The service update software is not even detecting my phone.
Please help.:crying:
When you say, not switching on, can you feel it vibrate when you push the power button?
Also whats the error you receive on flashtool?
Yes, i do
But the screen is blank and I can only see the red notification light

May be you flashed wrong kernel, which is not for your phone.
Try to charge the phone for a few hours and after thats try flashmode again to flash stock rom...
same problem
Actually I am facing the same issue u had with your Sony xperia u. Please help.
Charge the battery, seems gone flat. Leave it on charge for half an hour or so. If that doesn't work maybe the software is corrupted to the point it doesn't cold boot to charge, so charge battery separately using external charger for half an hour or so. It should be able to boot at least to flash mode (Vol Down + Power).

did you tried all the steps mentioned below
1. Run the flashtool in FlashMode
2. Select the firmware (Only the checkbox's related WIPE should be checked)
3. When it asks for the phone to start by pressing the back button and plug the USB, the flashing will start....
My phone got stuck in the boot logo after installing a Custom ROM (i missed formatting the system). Then i tried the above steps to bring back my phone.

Hi
I had the JB munjeni ROM in my SOLA. I tried to root it, but I flashed a wrong zip. Then my phone didn`t turn on. It responded to hard-reboot and hard-power off. I tried to flash by fastboot kernel and it worked. When it was flashing system.sin, something failed, and now my Sola doesn't respond to hard reboot or power off. It's almost impossible to put it in flashboot or fastboot. Sometimes it gets into fastboot and then shows Sony logo, then nothing happens. The only thing it does is to show red LED when connected.
Please help me! I'm desperated already!
Sola Stuck on Sony logo+battery not charging
Hi guys,
I was using munjeni's jelly bean port+ etch04's experimental kernel for sometime and everything was great until yesterday. My battery died out completely and when I plugged it into the charger it turned on and was stuck in the Sony logo. There was no charging indicator. I thought omg so this is what a hard brick looks like. As you know, the sola's battery isn't removable so I thought I was doomed.Tried a hard reset and there was no difference. So I kept it there (plugged in, stuck in the sony logo) for a while, plugged it out and turned it on. Luckily, IT HAD CHARGED even if the charging indicator or display didn't show it. So I tried turning it on but it got stuck on the sony logo as usual. Since the battery had charged a little, I plugged the phone in fastboot mode and flahed etch04's experimental kernel again. But it still got stuck in the sony logo. Then, as a last resort I flashed the stock ICS .54 kernal using flashtool and IT WORKED! (charged with charging indicator and display)
Then I flashed etch04's kernel again and now everything's back to normal.
Here's the stock ICS .54 kernel.
View attachment MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.rar
Place it in flashtool/firmware folder and flash with flashtool.
Good Luck!

Hey!
don't flash the whole rom. Try flashing just the kernel.
