I tried to install CyanogenMod 7.2 rom on my x10, the phone now stuck at SE logo, I can't get to xrecovery. Flashtool does not detect the andriod os or what device it is and does not let me flash with another rom. I am pretty much desperate now. Any advise is appreciated. Thanks.
Error log from Flashtool --

What I did to install the CyanogenMod 7.2 rom -
I unlocked bootloader with flashtool 0.6.9.1, then put
FXP117_update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-es209ra-UNOFFICIAL-signed.zip
and
gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
to sd card
then go to xrecovery, wiped cache and install the above zip files, then reboot, then stuck at SE logo since then.
You needed to flash the FXP kernel first before installing the rom that's why its gone into bootloop
You'll have to go to flash the kernel to get it to boot should be able to do it by turning the phone off and selecting the kernel on flashtool and go to flash it and follow the onscreen instructions of holding the back button while plugging in the USB to the computer or phone which ever way you do it and it should flash the kernel and you should be able to boot the Rom
Hope this helps

Try the old favourites - PC Companion and SEUS
Although these will take you back to stock rom.
If that doesnt work then try the flashtool at wotanserver.

It fixed mine when i had the same problem
Hi, I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256739 for changing the OS on my xperia X10 mini, and am finding I can’t turn on my device properly after the flash step. Unlocking the bootloader had been successful, and I managed to flash the kernel .ftf file using Flashtool, but after disconnecting the usb and turning on the phone, the new kernel’s logo came up but then subsequently the phone went off, and now the phone does not turn on. Through Flashtool, I’m able to Reboot->Recovery(which gives me a set of options like "wipe data/factory reset" that I tried thinking that it might be a bootloop) and Reboot->Kernel(which just shows the startup logo), but without Flashtool I don’t get a response from my xperia... help? I noticed I am not able to flash again the kernel.
For some reason, SEUS does not recognize my phone no matter how long I hold down the back button, and PC Companion after recognizing it wants me to complete an extra step in order to connect the phone.
Signed,
a young upstart

have you flash the google apps after the kernel?
you must do it right after what you did.
gl young upstart
PAY ATTENTION:
first of all, this post should be in the X10 MINI Q&A section, not here.
your problem is that you didn't flash your rom, so you don't have system
since you already flashed the kernel, you must do THIS:
1- read very well first, read instrucctions, and use the search option, please!
ok, then:
2- turn on your phone and go into recovery.
3- select "install zip from sdcard"
4- select "choose zip from sdcard"
5- select the rom zip file that you wanna flash (i'm guessing you already download a rom like miniCM7 or gingerDX and put it into your sdcard) then the rom will be flashed, wait until it finishes.
6- select "install zip from sdcard" again
7- select "choose zip from sdcard" again
8- select the googleapps zip file (i'm guessing you already have this file in your sdcard too) and wait until it finishes.
9- reboot your phone and enjoy :laugh:
Thank you for pointing me into the right direction! I'm daft, sort of because it's been a month since I unlocked the bootloader for this.
-a young upstart
I'm glad i could help you, i hope you are now enjoying of your x10 mini with gingerbread
Hello guys.
I recently got an Xperia X10 mini with stock rom, 2.1a, officially updated with last and I decided to install GB.
I follow several tutorials and do the bootloader unlock correctly. After this, looking for a GB ROM, I see that firstly I need to change the Kernel (In this case, "[KERNEL] nAa-14 [23/8/12] Custom Gingerbread kernel" to install the "[ROM] MiniCM7-2.2.1 [10/6/12] Gingerbread 2.3.7".
Then, I copy the "E10_nAa-14_2.6.29.6-nAa-14.ftf" to the firmwares folder in Flashtool folder.
After this, I open the flashtool app, plug the phone in flash mode and click on the flash button. Then, select "Flashmode" and select the Firmware nAa-14, and the kernel.sin file. Press OK and the system starts copying files. Then, the program finish copying and says "now unplug the device and power it on".
I disconnect the cable and here comes the problem. The phone doesn't boots, nothing on screen, and when I try to connect in flash mode, flashtool says:
ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
No leds and nothing in the screen. Is there any solution to make the phone come to live?
Thanks guys, any help is appreciated.
Not sure, but when I flashed from stock to MiniCM7 i did more steps than you.
- ROOTed
- installed CWM
- unlocked bootloader
And when flashed KERNEL - Flashtool after finishing told me: DONE - WAIT YOUR DEVICE WILL RESTART... So maybe you read something different (bad)...
(in my case phone not restart, but after unpluging and power on - new start logo appears)
Try the small red button under back-cover -> you should see it in lower left corner near the sticker. Maybe it helps... but only small chance
Root for XPERIA Ray
(4.1.B.0.587 | Locked & Unlocked Bootloader)
This method is working on XPERIA Ray (tested by me :laugh, but I don't know if the toolkit works on any other device (with its own kernels).Please tell me when you test it on another device.
Preparation:
On your PC (requires windows):

About Installing CWM Recovery
(Works with all 2011 XPERIA devices | Requires Root)
For installing CWM Recovery, download from play store x-Parts and open it. You'll see many tabs. Get to INSTALLS and tap Install CWM. Now if you want to get into recovery, go to TOOLS and tab Reboot to Recovery or you can reboot your device and when it starts up and displays SONY logo press rapidly and successively volume down key, then the recovery will open.
Hi I did all the steps from ROOTING to installing CWM.
My problem is I cant boot to CWM. I i tried both method stated above; (from X-Parts "boot to recovery" and press Volume Down key during Sony logo boot screen).
What should I do?

Sadly, I don't have any methods to open cwm recovery other than the listed above. Please re-check if the recovery was installed successfully. Sometimes the recovery doesn't install because of bad connection
Fine, very thanks :victory:
Hey Guys,
yesterday I took my sisters Neo V to root it and flash Super Jelly Bean 6.0 after that. Getting root with Eroot 1.3.4 was very easy. After that I flashed CWM-Recovery with an App called x-Parts I downloaded from PlayStore. Before rebooting to recovery I did a backup of all her apps with Titanium Backup. In CWM itself I did a Nandroid Backup and after that wiped data and formatted system and cache manually. Then I flashed Super Jelly Bean 6.0 and Gapps package provided SJB's thread. When I tried to reboot the device it got a bootloop. I can see the Sony logo and after that the phone shuts down and boots again showing the Sony logo and again, and again, and again.
As I read in some posts here on XDA I downloaded flashtool and the newest firmware (4.1.B.0.587) from this link right after that. All I got was an error on flashtool, with no further description (look here). I also tried using PC Companion and SUS to repair the phone, but both do not even recognize it.
I really hope that you guys can help me with my problem. Thanks and sorry for bad English

Hey, what you did is essentially wrong.
JB roms > unlocked bootloader. Therefore, you should flash first the required kernel of the rom ( usually provided in the zip of the rom ). Then, after a full wipe ( format data, cache, system... ) in CWM, you should install from there the ROM and Gapss that you've downloaded in your sd card of the phone.
I don't think that your phone is dead, you should try again flashing the ics stock in flashtool. Your pc may not recognize the drivers yet, happened to me in the past, and at the 3rd try it flashed again succesfully.
If it really doesn't work, try again and again with SUS in case that it's a drivers recognition problem.
Tell us how it goes :thumbup:

Hm, on my Desire S that's the way it goes :crying: Think, I have to read instructions more carefully
I tried flashing the ftf-File for about 100 times yesterday, and several times today, getting above error every time. When I connect the device in flashmode and tap devices->check drivers in flashtool, I get the output
Code:

In my opinion it means that everything is OK with drivers, doesn't it?
Also tried using SUS some more times today, but it still stays at "Connecting your Phone" screen, although it is in flashmode already (flashtool output tells me).
Hi,
Super Jelly Bean is a CM10 ( JB ) based rom.To use a JB rom, you need JB kernel.To flash a JB kernel, you have to unlock bootloader.
If you got bootloop, flash latest firmware with Flashtool.To flash you need drivers.If you haven't installed drivers yet, your device can't be detected.It's in flashtool\drivers-> flash mode + fastboot mode + Xperia Neo V drivers.Its enough I think.
And if you want to use Super Jelly Bean 6.0 rom;
-First Root (After flashing, you have to root again.)
-Unlock bootloader (Unlock your bootloader.Testpoint recommended.)
-See installation instructions for SJB 6.0.If I remember correctly;
-Connect your phone in fastboot mode (Hold menu button and connect phone to pc via USB).Flash -> Fastboot -> Select kernel to flash -> Select JB kernel you want to flash ( Rename kernel boot.img ).Check format .img if you can't find file -> Flash JB kernel (Ex: Lupus (Flash JB..not ICS.) via fastboot.
-Get in to recovery mode.These kernels have full CWM.Press volume down few times when you see kernel logo.
-Wipe everything.Wipe data/Factory Reset.Format data, system and cache.Wipe dalvik cache and battery stats.
-Flash SJB 6.0.Your phone is Neo V.So no need patch.
-Flash gapps.
-If you kernel have modules (Like fusion), you need to flash modules too.Flash it.But few kernel modules built in (Like lupus).
-And it is done.
First boot may be longer , so just wait.Don't touch battery :angel:
My problem is, that I'm not able to flash the latest firmware with flashtool, because I get an error (see my first post).
As I posted some minutes ago, all drivers seem to be installed correctly, but when I try to install the drivers provided by flashtool I get some other error by Windows Device Manager which say that four drivers (three Sony Ericsson, one Google) could not be installed correctly. Don't know why

I solved your problem.Okay disconnect your phone and check;
enable "USB DEBUGGING" from Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development
enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES" from Menu -> Settings -> Applications
set Connectivity mode to MSC from Menu -> Sony Ericsson -> Connectivity -> USB Connection Mode
I think you forget to enable USB Debugging :victory:
Hit thanks if I helped you.
I'm very happy that you're trying to help me, but please read my other posts as carefully as I have to read the instructions of how to flash Roms on other phones then my Desire S
I stuck in a bootloop, that's why I try to flash stock firmware. So there is no possibility to enable USB-Debugging. But I think adb is not need in flashmode anyway, is it?

enable "USB DEBUGGING" from Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development
enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES" from Menu -> Settings -> Applications
set Connectivity mode to MSC from Menu -> Sony Ericsson -> Connectivity -> USB Connection Mode
Added the other two steps so can be helpful for anyone else having issues, make sure all of above is set prior to trying this tool to root the phone.

True :silly: . Hmm I can't understand.Two thing left.
1-)Can you tell me which drivers you installed?
2-)Do you have PC Companion installed? Or any other program use ADB.exe.Close PC Companion.Check ADB.exe.If it is working, close it.Then open flashtool.Try again.
