Ah right, forgot about that. Disabled it but didn't restart the computer. :p Will test it again tomorrow. Thanks for the reply!

Alles güt, alles schön. Vielen dank! :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aleunge:
Thank you man. Mission completed. You rock. Totally.

For anyone having problem getting it into flash mode.. just plug phone into your comp first and let it boot normally into 1.6 (or don't do anything if it's already on when you plug it in). Then run the bat file and go through all the steps with choosing your phone model and Win OS until it tells you to put it into flash mode (i.e. if you press the enter key next, the flashing will begin). Now don't press anything on your comp. Instead, shut down your phone (still connected to your computer) by holding the power button and confirming it. Once it shuts down, immediately hold the back button. Because it's plugged in, it will automatically boot up again and because you are holding the back button, it will try and get into flash mode. Now once the green LED on the front goes on to confirm flash mode, quickly hit "enter" on your computer (the .bat window) before the green light goes out. And then enjoy Bin4ry's magic show!

When I extracted flashtool, there are two laoder files, which one i have to replace:

x10loader or miniloader ?

There is no loader file in firmware folder.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chetermaat:
Worked

With the updated Flash tool I was able to flash my x10 mini on my win7 x64 systeem without a problem.

Thx..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
just unzip the firmware .rar file that you also downloaded (make sure its the right one for your device..eg X10 mini, mini pro or X10) copy all those files into the firmware folder of Flashtool, it should overwrite a file in there (perhaps you have view hidden files disabled) just make sure you copy all the files into Firmware and you shouldn't have any problems.

I hope that helps you. :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wiilweer:
Okay, gonna post feedback after I've reached my own PC.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Raph4:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rikirix:
hello.

flashing an e10a device with this tool, is the loss of 3g the only issue? Is there a way then to get it fixed?

thanx
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] netokee:
Hiii,

Thanks a lot for the Firmware and for the Flash-tool

I had the Java Problem and tried a lot of times.

I solved it with a reboot of Computer.

Started the Flash.bat and follow the given instruction.

Now, my Xperia X10 Mini is under Eclair 2.1 ;-)

Hi everyone, just read this thread:

h t t p ://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825100&page=5

And x10 (x10a) owners are happy flashing 2.1 x10i firmware without losses in connectivity (3g included).

Could this be the same for us?

Has anyone flashed his/her e10a with 2.1 e10i firmware?????

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nanoquintino:
Me too.... Entel... and I have a Xperia X10 Mini e10a with Eclair but no 3G... The reason (it seems) is because I've installed the firmware for e10i

I am from Chile too and i have a x10 mini from entel, i already flashed with 2.1 but i lost 3g, i dont know if claro or another company maybe could work.....

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juavil:
same here, but I have done some calcules: flashing amss_fs.bin (408.307 bytes) takes 135 seconds, so flashing amss.sin (19.805.111 bytes) will take 6548 seconds or 109 minutes.

The problem is that at that speed system.sin (182.024.406 bytes) will take more than 16 hours!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anarchyuk:
I have just came in to find the phone off, the cmd prompt said all was flashed but the battery had died, so im still on 1.6 like nothing changed

if 16hrs is the case then the battery cant last the full flash
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] redwoodsnemesis:
Hmm I dont think my phone has battery enough for 16 hrs flashing.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Bin4ry:
Normally flashing is about maximum 5 minutes!

So if yours is taking too long be sure that you used a USB 2.0 Port!

In most Systems the USB Frontports are only USB 1.1. Also be sure that you are NOT using a HUB!

If all is okay (Backport and NO HUB), please try to upgrade your mainboard drivers!

Unbrick my x10 mini. You made it.

Was already on 2.1 with the build.pro trick. Due some reboots during use of the mini i made some experiments in system dir... Result:

Can't boot, can't reinstall or restore via SEUS. :mad:

It was just a glowing brick.

Same thing here, phone stays on debugging mode for 20-30 seconds then boots normally.

Would be nice if there was a linux update alternative.

Tried all USB's (2.0)

HELP!!

1.6 (RB...20)

I'm trying this on a mint Win7 laptop, up to date.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rikirix:
Anybody that got the 3G working on x10a?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
(when you say debugging mode you mean flashing mode right?) green light.. phone off?

Mine did this the first time (turned on and booted into 1.6).. I think I just took too long to press a key to start flashing, its all about timing.. the second time I tried it (much quicker to hit the space bar) it worked fine.

keep trying.. :D

Wipe user data

I´ve been following this thread with great excitement.

Since this seems to be my first time using this tool to get rid of Three, (Tre in Swedish) I really want to get this right without bricking my first Android...

I´m fed up with Three after being stuck with fw 1.1.A.0.12, and it´s seriuos

wifi problems.

I think I´m good to go now after reading all your posts, but one question remains:

"You HAVE TO WIPE USERDATA! If Not you will be stuck in booting Loop".

Ok, but where and when?

(I´m using a Win7 64bit to get 2.1 into my X10 mini)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] enormous101:

had the same loopy thing..i opened pc companion let it plugged in and ignored of the popup message drag the task bar and connect via usb (something like that i have installed pc companion in greek)and when it was asking me to close my phone..i kept pressing back button...so the green led was like the green fairy from apsenti and when i open it,it had 2.1....booted normaly without the loopy thing...probably for being sure i'll flash it again and put f@ckin YES when asked for gddamned erasing personal data....:mad:(with myself)

Well i know for a fact im using a USB 2 port - it only takes about 5 min to do a 1.6 firmware flash via the SE Upgrade Tool. But I stayed on flashing amss.sin ...

for more than 45 min. And this is on the same usb port - im using my laptop which only has USB 2 ports. Im using Win7x64 - but tried on xp 32 bit(same pc dual boot) - but cannot make a connection to phone there.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] oslons:
two ? please

1.

Now put the firmware files in "firmware" directory of flashtool (overwrite loader.sin)

Do you mean place complete mini.rar downloaded firmware file in "Firmware" dir of Flashtool? Ok managed to unzip rar. I do not see a loader.sin in the flashtool only x10 and miniloader.sin. Is it neccessary to overwrite these two files with the loader.sin in the loader folder?

2. You HAVE TO WIPE USERDATA! If Not you will be stuck in booting Loop!

When and how/where do you wipe the userdata of which app? OK answered: Command reply in Flashtool

New question: What exactly is Flash mode? Don't worry, do not know what it is but as long as I can get it going in that state.

Flashtool completes quickly, phone boots back to 1.6

Running on Win7 64bit. Since I don't have Java installed, I added the jre\bin directory in the flashtool zip to the path. Then I followed the instructions word for word.

The flashtool only takes 5-10 seconds to finish and everything looks peachy. But then the phone just boots back to my old 1.6.

you are starting the flashing to late.

go into flashmode and quickly press the last button on flashtool.bat(the one it says please connect in flash mode)

did the same mistake myself.....

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tbdwbxjfmjupj:
Still finishing successfully, then booting back to 1.6.

And I am going to flash mode as fast as I can :)

BTW I had to install the SEMC drivers from the SE developer world site, otherwise the flashtool would not recognize the device. Maybe I chose a bad version?

TIA
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Bin4ry:
According to the Version -> Maybe

According to flasmode -> No need to be fast anymore if you download new Version =) It's quite nice now i think. Because you have as much time as you need to connect the phone now !!

Please give a little feedback after using new Version of Flashtool ! Thanks :)

timing

How meny time it take to flash

mine is stop in flashing amss.sin :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Bin4ry:
A few minutes. (5 maximum for all files).

If your flashing takes too long please try another usb-port (avoid Hubs) and be sure your mainboard drivers is actual! Because if flashing takes too long this is because you connected to a USB1.1 Port (or the driver is not installed properly and Windows just speaks USB1.1 to the Port even if it is USB2.0).

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lotharmartinez:
Success!

Got it right at the very first attempt with the old version of the flashtool.

Used win7 64 bit to flash my x10i mini and had the pc companion turned off all the time.

Running 2.1 now and I think everything works like a charm, the unit responds much faster, wifi is stable and 3g are working.

However, the backup and restore app failed to restore everything such as downloaded apps but I did a second backup with the Titanium backup tool so no worries.

Feels really good to getting rid of Three who didn´t let us update the firmware since the 1.1.A.0.12. version.

A big and sincere thanks to Bin4ry, great work!
