Thanks for your suggestions. However, I managed to fix it using the Davinciteam software.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bigbrother69:
Well I guess that your solution is not free so if somebody found anything whcih could be usefull to me or anybody who can fall on this problem please tell us :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 71baker:
Without phone connected:

Open PC-Companion and press Start under Support zone. Then press start under Update (My version is Swedish so i am just guessing what yours might be.) You will get a small box where the options are Connect and Repair.

Try that.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bigbrother69:
No, I have an error like "sorry, we cant update your phone cant be recognized"

I already tried with software like omnius, seus, pc compagnon, sin reconstruction, an utility of root by Mogway where there is an button to repare some errors. Davinci software doesn't support x10 in the free version.

I'll go on to find a solution, tks for your help :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 71baker:
But IS there a repairbutton ? I am wondering because otherwise you might not have the latest version of PC-Companion or something? Also , when doing repair i don't think it even checks what your phone is. You have to select it from a menu that pops up.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bigbrother69:
Yes, there is a button and i tried all the software in there last version.

When I press the button "repair", I see that the program load "update prtocol" or something like that (update service ?), then It's start the update and 2sec after an error appear in a box "We can't access to mobile phone" or smthg like that.

Apparently, no communication can be done in PC compagnon.

My drivers are ok, seus apparently recognize my phone (if he told me that I have the last version and tell me that he see my phone)

A little weird huh :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bigbrother69:
Under pc compagnon there is a repare button yes.

The error appear to the point "update motor boot" (démarrage du moteur de mise à jour in french)

I dont find solution yet :eek:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] indra.dwi:
I also have some problem like you.. Can you give the explanation and tools (Davinciteam software) to fix it.. 'Cause i hopeless to fix it until i read this.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] MarylandCookie:
Use the latest Omnius, it supports x10 mini and mini pro flashing :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bigbrother69:
oh sh...:D I paid to fix it and now there is a free solution, the world is really nasty

Well, if anyone can't fix it with Omnius, I can give some advice for DaVinci, but I really hope that I'll be the last one to use this soft (despite his efficacity).

I hope you unterstood me :p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parksy152:
what do u use to convert your firmware to work with omnius??
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bingobadgo:
I have the same problem, stuck on "Sony Ericsson" screen at startup. I tried SEUS and PC Companion to no avail. How can I get Omnius, i cant seem to download it anywhere.

Make sure you register and enter your registration details into the app.

You dont need to convert them..

Just zip up the following files for the App.zip and make sure the naming convention is as below:

Or alternatively download the firmware from Omnius website.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zodiac100:
On the Omnius site there are no flash files for the x10 mini pro U20i only the mini E10i. Do you know anywhere I can get the U20i generic uk software to flash my phone using omnius.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] MarylandCookie:
They do have them, you have to register for access to downloads and activate your account. I have just checked :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zodiac100:
Yes I can see them now.I think they have just been added recently cos they were not there when i checked b4. Do you by any chance know which one is for generic uk out of all the u20i versions. How does one know the right cdf number to select.

thanks.

Also when using omnius, in flash settings what should i use for application software file and customization file. I want to be exactly sure what i am doing now.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Civallc:
I have the same problem.. Unfortunately, Omnius is not free now....

Can anyone help me to solve that problem ???
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Snusdus:
Can someone upload the flash files for x10 mini pro if you have them Please!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Dynanik:
same problem.... :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] UniqueGR:
I managed to un-brick mine. You have to use both omnious and pc companion. With omnious, you will select "read flash" from advanced in order to get rid of the sony ericsson logo and power the phone off. After that, you will follow the procedure with pc companion.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kyucosta:
That work for my x10 miniPro. tnks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nikeboy12:
Plz help me

Me x10 mini pro is stuck on sony menu, it happend when i was installing gingerbread 2.3.5 from paul-xxx. How can i solve this?

Sorry for me english.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Lancerfq:
Use pc companion or sony ericsson update service to re-update the software and that will put it back to stock, then you'll need to re-install the rom, make sure to follow all the instructions to the letter :)

X10 Mini Pro runnin miniCM7Pro V7+ with custom red xperia theme
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kissmyarch:
Yeah, pc companion tells me that there is no software updates for my phone when clicking the repair button. Seus also doesn't work (also it's so damn hard to find it on se website). So, I've tried flashtool and finally got stock 2.1 back in. The instructions are here. If you get lost through the pages here's how i did it on a windows7 64-bit machine.

Download Flashtool 0.2.9.1 Beta and install it. If on linux open the .exe like any other zip file and extract it. DONT use version 0.3.0.0, it doesn't fully recognize minipro.

View attachment 703569

Download this file and extract it under the firmware folder of flashtool.

View attachment 703570

Optional step: If you have already installed pc companion, the drivers are installed as well, so skip this step. If not (or if you're running flashtool under linux) extract the X10_mini_ADB_drivers.zip that you'll find in the drivers folder, in that folder.

Go under the folder of flashtool and open X10FlashTool.exe. (I ran it as administrator with UAC disabled). If on linux open the x10flasher.jar file (if you're unsure how to do it, go to a terminal, go to flashtool directory and run java -jar x10flasher.jar )

Press flash and in the next box just click ok.

View attachment 703571

View attachment 703572

Do as the instructions tell you.

View attachment 703574

In the background you'll see something like this. It's the program searching for your device.

View attachment 703575

When it finds your device these messages should appear and the flashing process begins.

View attachment 703576

That's it!

Optional, reboot and check with PC Companion if there is a newer update. The reason is that I don't know which firmware is included in the Italian Rom I posted above.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dinaki88:
I thought that it would be helpful if I added a detail that helped in my case

I bricked my phone as well, and as SEUS repair wouldn't do anything, the only thing that worked was the method above my post, with a small addition

when I tried to do what is described above, an error occurred that i had to install or re-install drivers(something like that anyway). Although I tried, I couldn't find a tip to resolve this. So, after trying for many hours, I got it to work with these steps:

before doing the flash step and the usb connection

go to drivers folder(included in the folders you unzipped with flashtool)

there should be some .zip files in there containing the brand of your phone(i found x8 x10 and x10 mini and i used the last one for mini pro)

unzip the appropriate .zip file in the drivers folder.

and

IT WORKED...

the rest of the steps are the same:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kissmyarch:
Yeah you' re right. But most people have installed pc companion that downloads the drivers automatically :) I'll update my post, thanks.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] BuffMePlz:
Hi there, sorry to steal your thread but I can't post my own question, because I don't have 10 posts or something like that. I just have a quick question, how do I reinstall the software onto my X10mini. See this is what happened, my phone froze, so I did the hardware reset (middle button and power button), but then it refused to come on, i tried repairing it with SE PC Companion, but nothing, it kept giving me an error. All this time, the LED was flashing red. So I gave up, and sent it to the place I purchased the phone, they were charging me 75% the cost of buying a new phone. Told them to not repair it, and picked up the phone. Now, the LED is flashing Green, So can someone please tell me how to reinstall the drivers/software for the phone, I will really appreciate it, I miss my android phone. I am new to XDA and to playing around with phone software, so please try to explain in great detail.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carpe-Dimi:
Heya,

If you have installed SEUS and selected your phone SEUS should give you the option to update software or 'continue anyway' if it finds the latest software on your phone.

If it does not

then try using flashtool 0.2.9.1 beta --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746 (it's important u use 0.2.9.1 and not 3.0)

after that download x10 mini pro firmware from here --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928343 (look for 'U20i NLU20i ITA' in 2nd post)

put the tft file u get from this inside the firmware folder inside flashtool folder then open flashtool and hit flash.

in the window that appears select the tft file you just put in the firmware folder flashtool and select ok

while flashtool is searching for your phone, hold the back button on your phone while it is powered off and connect it to usb cable.

flash tool should then start flashing your phone and after it's done it should work again.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kissmyarch:
@BuffMePlz

Do you have a mini or a mini pro? In your post you say mini. The firmware Carpe-Dimi posted is for mini pro. Don't get confused. For mini you do as Carpe-Dimi says or you follow my steps. Only thing you must replace step 2 with this download.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] BuffMePlz:
Thanks for the advice, I've tried what you guys have recommended but I'm getting an error (See below),

25/008/2011 18:08:51 - INFO - Flashing kernel.sin

25/008/2011 18:08:54 - INFO - Flashing amss_fs.sin

25/008/2011 18:08:54 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted

25/008/2011 18:08:54 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on

25/008/2011 18:08:54 - INFO - Then go to application settings

25/008/2011 18:08:54 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging

I can't switch on the device, when I try to, the LED just flashes red.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carpe-Dimi:
that's odd, it should not suddenly stop flashing :(

have you tried more than once? like to see if it always stops at the same point or if it's random?

there's two more firmwares in this link as well --> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9067949&postcount=1

the one kissmyarch linked you to is the separate one, but the other 2 should work as well.

using either of those, SEUS and or PC companion should definately give you the option to install latest official firmware/software

But does SEUS also not give you an option to continue anyway now btw?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rosshalz:
LED Flashes red??? isnt that an indication that the battery is out of juice?? Try charging your phone and flashing again...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] BuffMePlz:
@ Carpe-Dimi, I ran it a few times, yes it stops at the same point. I tried PC Companion again, and its still not working, it just says Failed. I think its definitely a software problem though, 'cause when I connect my phone to PC Companion it just says "Sony Ericsson Phone Connected" it used to say "Xperia X10 mini" . . . Could it be anything else? Is there anything else I can try, or is this phone totaled and I'm stuck with a Blackberry ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carpe-Dimi:
install and run this --> http://www.multiupload.com/U1A43NX86K

your pc should recognize again that you have an x10mini and after that, hopefully, SEUS / PC companion should want to update it and flash tool should stop stopping
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] BuffMePlz:
No working . . . :( . . . Maybe I should just give up :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kissmyarch:
Never give up! In conclusion the steps should be:

1) Install ggsetup and reboot.

2) Download and unpack flashtool 0.2.8 or 0.2.9.1 Beta. NOT 0.3.0.0

3) Download the right firmware for your device. Download all three of them and place under firmware folder of flashtool. Beware they must have an ftf extension, so unzip them firstly.

4) Open flashtool and hit flash.

5) If step 3 was done right, you should see 3 files to select from in the leftmost tab. Select one of them and hit OK.

6) With your phone switched off, hold the back button and plug it in the usb.

7) Process starts. When flashing completes reboot.

The error you posted indicates possibly some error in the firmware. Try with another one.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] obsidian_eclipse:
As someone has said before maybe the battery is flat and the charging circuit crashed? At your own risk you can try this.

Disconnect the phone battery, plug in the charger. Reinsert the battery whilst it is connected to power, it has in the past reinitialised my phone charger. After about 45 mins of power try to flash as above.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] BuffMePlz:
I tried everything you guys told me, followed to the letter, removing the battery, all with the same results, it flashes 2 .sin files and then tells me to disconnect phone, switch on and enable USB Debugging. . . I tried with all Firmware versions you suggested. . . Is there a way I can enable the debugging using a program or something?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] obsidian_eclipse:
I'd forget about debugging, it wont help if there's no rom on the phone. The debugging mode is to enable communication with particular software layers from a booted phone whilst connected to the pc. There is no debug mode outside the android OS as far as i'm aware.

I'm still wondering about whether you've got the correct ROM or not.. I'll have to think what other advice I can give.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] flipnoz:
Hi,

I´ve got a similiar problem!!!

I Flashed my X10 mini with FlashTool 0.3.0.0 and U20i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Paul.ftf

After that my X10 is on a loop on restarting until the battery ends.

1. I cannot do anything with Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0 because is all the time rebboting and when I get the green led it says to disconnet and reboot.

2. When I got the green led on FlashTool_0.2.9.1, starts the flash and then it gives error on flashing.

So I am like BuffMePlz, almost giving up, because I dont know what to do anymore!

Thanks to all of you
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] *boy*racer*:
Before you flashed the .sin files, did you highlight all of them to be flashed to your phone??

It sounds like to me that you have only selected 2 .sin files and not all of them
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] BuffMePlz:
I select all the files on the right. I just tried to install Version 1.6, thinking maybe the other firmware files are broken, and still nothing. Maybe I'm creating the .ftf files wrong, I followed => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10879507#post10879507 to create them. Is there a way to wipe the ROM before trying to flash it, or does flashtool do that before applying the Firmware?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] obsidian_eclipse:
Try using a premade ftf file, there must be dozens, but make sure you choose the right one for your phone.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] *boy*racer*:
I have one that I have used. But I don't know how to upload it onto here. Do I have to use a computer or do it through this app??
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] BuffMePlz:
I found one, I tried it, it didn't even flash any .sin files, it just aborted.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rosshalz:
man that is one hell of a pickle... can you perhaps post a video illustrating the entire process (from whic files u use to create the ftf to which flashtool version to the end result)??? i am compeletely out of ideas why this is happenin!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carpe-Dimi:
What about SEUS tho, it is not the same as PC companion ya know :o

and it's never really refused to flash my phone when i messed it up.

Also, if you connect your phone to pc before entering flash mode, then press home+power button till it reboots, and immediately after press back it should enter flash mode while connected to pc.

as rosshalz, I can not think of anything else that would make sense atm :mad:

I've bricked My Xperia Mini Pro Too!

I was attempting to install a custom ROM on my Mini Pro and had sucessfully rooted it and installed CWM.

It was running Android 2.1_Updated (2.0.A.0.504) so I made a nandroid back up and then installed what I expected to be a 2.1.1.A.0.6 for the Mini Pro.

However, when the phone rebooted it appears as if the ROM was not for the Mini Pro because the screen image appears wider than the screen and I can't slide the touch screen unlock button to access the phone.

I've tried all the methods mentioned above to get it back to a stock ROM:

PC Companion - Repair says there is no update available

FlashTool - when it detects phone it bombs out

CWM - I can't boot into CWM to re-installed my backup

Any ideas would be much appreciated... I'm about to chuck it out as I've been trying for two days to sort it out
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] *boy*racer*:
Have you tried SEUS (Sony ericsson update service)?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Blue Rock:
Yes, that too... got this message from SEUS "This software is not available for the Xperia™ X10." Thanks all the same.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fteo_viking:
Have you tried the same flashtool from a DIFFERENT PC ?. It pays to use a different PC as it might just make a difference. Its the reason I do not use Windows for years, Ubuntu does more than even OSX for me.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] *boy*racer*:
Oh, when does that appear? When selecting your device? And is yours an Xperia x10 mini pro? (U20i)?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dsdavis6:
Sounds like I have the same sort of problem but for an x10. When i turn the phone on i get a green flash and a vibrate. Then nothing, flashtool fails, SEUS fails. I have tried various formwares on flashtool. Haven't even seen the phones backlight come on for god knows how long. Just seems to be.... stuck.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've now tried flashtool on a PC running XP and Windows 7, but still no good.

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

Yes, it's a Xperia x10 mini pro (U20i).

I get the message after I have selected my device from the thumbnails screen and it appears to have begun updating my phone software.

I'm using Sony PC Companion 2.0 for the update service.

I'm a noob at flashing phone ROMs but maybe flashtool bombs out because when I installed the incorrect ROM on th phone, it changed the device ID somehow and now flashtool bombs out because the the ROM I'm trying install doesn't match the device ID. Is that possible?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] acceleratum:
got same problem, ive bricked my phone several times and seus always recovered it, now this last version it just doesnt, it just says theres no software for my phone. Pc companion also says its all up to date... I tired flashing all kinds of basebands and roms, it always stuck in bootloop.

---------- Post added at 08:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 AM ----------

Finally I unbricked phone!!!

The problem was in the flasher, latest version doesnt have the x10minipro files as it was suposed?!? , so I installed an old flasher version 0.2.9.1 , you can find it on a mini pro flashing post here in this forums, installed the ggsetup as well. Then flashed baseband 6 and generic uk 2.1. when flashing this it asked wich phone it was and mini pro option shows up while on new flasher only x10 and Play show up. So i chose mini pro and it took like 5 minutes to flash instead of the suposedly 10 seconds of my previous flashes. And now I have the phone working again. Now its time to root/recovery and try to get a recent version again =)

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------

now with generic software, I rooted and installed CWM recovery with no problem, plus I plug it into Seus and it updated to latest firmware/baseband.

rooted it again, recovery installed and im back with 2.3 roms =)

hi! have you already revived your x10 mini pro? i'm having the same exact symptoms, however it's with the big x10. some say it's a motherboard issue. i'm hoping it's not.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sbhboi:
It seems like there's alot of trouble going on flashing the x10mp, including me, but my problem is that, my own x10mp don't have such fussy whilst my frnd, well yeah, bricked, a week after flashing & install Sonystyle roms which is supposely perfect because the step followed is the same as mine.

Now, the only thing that lid up was the backlight when you turn on the phone, no SE logo, no nothing, yeah pc companion is no help either. Maybe I should go adventurous again; flashing another kernel + rom again, hope it would work though.
