Check here bro, http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/151266

I saw this when I googled,

"press volume down button and then home button"
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cevi:
Yes they are installed.Here is an image where i can see that the ADB drivers are installed.(Highlighted area).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cevi:
I`ve tried this also.I know that i must hold only the volume down key wile inserting the cable.I`ve done this few times few weeks ago.But something is messed up and i think its when i was trying the testpoint method using the s1tool.Is there any option in s1tool for reseting the phone to its original state?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cevi:
Come on guys, no one had this problem before?Is it software or hardware related?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cevi:
Update...

Is it possible that somehow buy upgrading to 4.0.4, key combination for entering in flash mode is changed?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
And you turn your phone off and after that you hold volume down and connect while holding volume down to pc and there's no green light? Is it orange or what happens?

EDIT:: Just found this thread, and there's same problem solved. But you will need the original WT19i_35850804005723_11-02-2012_20-51-48.TA file and I don't know where to download it. Maybe contact ramezzidane (in the thread) and ask him where he found the .ta file or if he could upload it for you, because it seams that Octopus SE Suite has overwritten some things like fastboot mode etc. Hope it'll help you ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cevi:
When i get the prompt from flash tool i:

Unplug the phone

Turn off

hold down the volume - key

plug the usb cable to the phone

No color light at this point

On the phone appears the Sony logo

i hear a sound like new device plugged on the pc (No driver installation window on the taskbar)

The light goes orange and battery icon appears on the screen showing that is charging

That`s all.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cevi:
Is there any method other than with Octopus Suite for rewriting TA?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
So your bootloader is unlocked or locked at the moment? You say you were trying, but is it or not?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cevi:
No.My bootloader is locked.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sshivampp:
dude it may be driver problem

do one thing

go to device manager in windows 7

in bottom most u see "universal serial bus controllers"

expand the menu and uninstall all usb drivers(option in right click)

restart ur pc and now try to connect again
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jomofer:
Have you tested your volume down key on Android? Maybe it doesnt work since you tried to unlock your phone...

In addition, i would try in another computer, installing drivers from the beginning.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
You could try to flash the content of the ftf manually, but that's dangerous, cause if it doesn't work your device is bricked and you can't enter flashmode anymore to flash stock firmware.

And you can't repair via pc companion, cause you can't enter flashmode to flash the firmware again and you can't repair using sony update service, cause it's the same?

If you're sure it isn't a driver problem (install flashtool drivers and pc companion and restart pc) it should be only solved with flashing the ta, but that can only be done in flashmode and you can't enter it, right?

So is your device rooted, then unroot (if possible) and bring it to service center. They should repair it, but I can't promise. Tell them (cause flashing with flashtool voids warranty), that you had a problem and you wanted to repair using pc companion and you couldn't because you can't enter flashmode. That's the only method I think, except from writing the ta again. But don't know if they would repair it for free or if they can solve the problem... :(

Maybe we can find another solution for your problem ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cevi:
My phone was network locked few hours ago. :) I was trying the test point method again and now its locked totally.It is not accepting any sim cards.I read a post here on the forum where the guy was explaining this procedure so at the end he managed to fix the flashmode.But as he stated the phone will remain network locked.For that he mentioned the setool method for network unlocking.For me went bad.Now my phone is network locked and the key combination still doesn`t work.So now can you give me the cheapest way to unlock my phone first and then go back to my first problem.Is there any chance to get it unlocked by the IMEI number?All of the keys on the phone are working very well but i still can`t enter in flash mode.I tried flashing on another computer with fresh windows installation but it`s same.It`s not driver related i am sure.Ether is wrong key combination or is that TA thing.Thanks to all of you guys for your efforts, but i must find a way to fix these problems.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cevi:
Update...

Ok Guys.I`ve take the phone to a local repair service and they`ve managed to fully unlock it.It cost me 10 eur for that.Now on the bootloader status in the service menu says "Yes" instead earlier when it was "No".But i still have the Flashmode problem.I hold the Vol - key while plugin in the cable and the phone just starts charging with a orange light indicator.Where could be the problem i really don`t understand?Any idea?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
I think the problem is the ta. Octopus may have overwritten some functions like flashmode. But I don't know exactly if it works to rewrite ta...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cevi:
And what should i do next now?The newest i've noticed is that my GPS is not working anymore.I think that it's the ICS version but i am not able to reflash it.Comon is there no one that had this problem?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cevi:
The guy from the mobile repair store told me that when i was doing the test point method i`ve broken something in the JBS or JVS.I didn`t understand him very well.And he told me that he somehow managed to unlock my phone but about the flashing problem he said that i will never may flash the phone again.Is this ok or?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SerdarS:
I'm having the same problem :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cevi:
@SerdarS

Did you manage to fix this problem?

I really don`t have a clue how to repair my phone.I really need your help guys.

My GPS is not working anymore and i think it`s the Android version but i can not flash it.I`ve post a question on the SETool page and they also don`t know the fix for the problem.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SerdarS:
Unfortunately, no one knows the solution :(

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cevi:
There must be answer for this.Tell me this guys.How come when i recieve an official update from Sony,the phone installs it without my assistance?It reboot's itself and installs the new firmware?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Yes it download to phone and installs automaticly. But this is only for locked bootloader! Otherwise your phone will brick so don't do OTA Updates with unlocked bootloader!

Maybe contact sony developers on their site and tell them your whole problem, maybe the sony devs know a solution...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cevi:
Here is their reply:

"In that case I suggest that you have your phone checked at an repair center to get it fixed. Contact your local support team for more info.

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/contact-info/"

I know that if i take the phone to a service it will be repaired.What if it`s only some minor bug that i can fix it by my own.Why to pay if it`s something small?

B.T.W. My bootloader is still locked. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Where did you ask? Sony Developers or the normal support chat?

If your bootloader is still locked then take it to service. Normally you should have warranty. And if you bring it to service you can ask first how much it is and if it's not too much, just do it ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cevi:
When i was trying the first time to unlock my phone, i was doing the test point method with the s1tool.I did not succeeded cause my phone can only be unlocked with the paid method.In the same time while i was using the s1tool i also tried with the Octopus Suite.There i pressed the Repair TA button.I don`t remember what was saying in whole but i remember that on the end it said TA repaired successfully.Also i don`t realy know why but on the first try i have soldered the wire on the test point of the phone so i can only hold it on the negative pole.When i was disoldering the wire accidently shortend the nearest points with solder.I have cleaned them good but few days after that my phone was not able to power off.When i opened it again, with a magnifying lens i saw that there is a short connection between two points that left off.I cleaned that and after that my phone is working great except that is not entering the flashmode anymore.I am sure now that the points are all clear cause i measured them with an electrical measure tool.

This is the whole process of destroying my 1 month old phone. :) I also lost my warranty thanks to my scientific knowledge. :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cevi:
Can i somehow create a system log file so you can try to analyze it and possibly try to locate the problem?

What program do i need to create the log file?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
No I don't think you could use logcat for getting in flasmode.

But maybe there's another tool to log...

On another forum one guy advice me to do this:

"you can repair it via qcomm mode and tp. flash mode will work fine again".

Is there any tutorial for doing this and what are the risks from it?

I´m in trouble to enter on flashmode... the cel enter on fastbot with blue led, but, hold vol - and pluging the usb cabe, doesn´t enter o flasmode... i have unlocked bootloader, anyone know how this? When i put usb hold vol -, the led doesn´t work, and the cell phone start to recharge batery... another thing, mi wifi doesn´t work´, because that, i wanna enter on flasmode to put others kernels... i dont know what´s happend....

Can get me a hand?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
How did you unlock bootloader if fastboot mode not working?

Have you set up android sdk with the right usb driver and the fastboot.exe? If yes open a command winowd and type "adb reboot-bootloader" and see what happens.

If it isn't set up, look in my signature how to unlock bootloader and do all the steps with settings up android sdk etc until the unlocking process begins.

Otherwise open flashtool, click on the flash, fastboot mode and there is a box which says reboot into fastboot mode (via adb or via fastboot, try both). Click it and see what happens with your device ;)

I really don't know, maybe open a new thread for this and some devs can tell you ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] toninsc:
Man, the fastboot with hold vol + and pluging the usb cabe working, doesn´t have problem with this...

My problem is the flashmode stoped to working...

I did this: Otherwise open flashtool, click on the flash, fastboot mode and there is a box which says reboot into fastboot mode (via adb or via fastboot, try both). Click it and see what happens with your device ;)

The phone enter on fastboot, but this isn´t trouble, because the fastbot with vol + and pluging the usb always working.... my problema is flasmode!!!

Thanks...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Okay, what have you done before, that it stopped working? Or has it never worked? How did you unlock bootloader?

To flash a custom kernel you don't need flashmode, this will be done in fastboot mode, because you said you need flashmode to put another kernel?! :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] toninsc:
I´m unlocked bootloader with flashtool, when i unlock, the fastboot and flashmode were working normaly... but, the flashmode stopped overnight...

But, now complicated... i relock de bootloader with the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1560613 but, the cel phone is dead... completely dead.... doesn´t enter on fastboot mode too... i think that i bricked the phone...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
How could you unlock phone via flashtool? With the option inside?

So there's no light or vibrate or anything, if you try to power on? And you are sure battery is full and you can't enter fastboot mode by holding volume up? Because if you can do it again, you can flash a custom kernel again, boot in cwm and install a custom rom, which you want to use...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] toninsc:
Yes my friend, i unlocked phone via flashtool with the option inside, and locked again 30 minutes a go with fastboot that it still worked http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1560613

Só, my batery is full charged, when i try to power on, the phone is vibrate and nothing happens... when i plug the usb hold vol up or vol down, nothing happens too... i think i bricked phone!!!!

Have idea???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cevi:
My phone is repaired at a local repair shop.They didn`t give me some details but as i was able to understand they`ve rewrite the original TA file so now i have the flashmode and the fastboot mode back.Thanks for your help anyway.I appreciate it.

Try clearing dalvik and then running a permission fix immediately after.

If your on a ics ROM still, you can hold the home button and when camera pops up on the right, try holding that in. Should let you wipe its cache . I'm not in ics right now, but I pretty sure you can do that . Just don't know if I said that right lol

I would just say wipe everything make a back up of your sdcard on your pc reformat it then partition it to ext3 redownload what ever Rom you want to run, and basically start from scratch. It sounds like a lot, but I did it about 4 times today and isn't too bad the longest part is backing up your sd card. Give that a shot, I wasn't getting force closes, my app just wouldn't open.

Hi guys,

Recently I had a pretty amazing Idea. I think I've figured out a way to give away free smartphone based on Android to anyone who wants it. No contract, no small letters, just a free, amazing smartphone for everyone.

You must be wondering, how the hell is that possible? Solution is in target advertising. Screen of the smartphone would be bigger for the size of banner and user would get only relevant and interesting ads.

What do you think guys?

Can we do it?

Who is in?
