[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] boulix:
Hello,

I have a big problem, my X10 mini won't boot.

I used the wrong tool and wrong rom to flash it (Nordic_Flasher.rar with X10 files) and since, it will not turn on but I can still acces the flash mode (green light).

I have tried to flash with latest X10Flash-2.1.zip and mini.rar rom.

Also tried with both SE software.

In both cases, flash is correct but phone doesn't start.

Anyone have an idea on how to unbrick the phone?

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] WARKRIME:
Try starting SE Update service then hold the back key and plug the USB in should restore it back to 1.6 ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] boulix:
Yes, I have tried that. It goes all the way, but then when I try to turn on the phone, it just won't start.

The green led blinks once and vibrates once but the screen stays off.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] WARKRIME:
It can take upto 5 mins to start the phone?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] boulix:
Hello, thanks for your replies.

I just followed your advice and flashed it again with SE Update.

At the end, SE Update tells me it has succeded and tells me to unplug the phone and turn on the phone (and it also says it can take a long time).

So I unplugged it, and pressed the power button.

The green led blinked, it vibrated briefly and ... nothing else.

It has been 8 minutes or so, and still absolutely nothing on the screen.

I guess my problem happened because I flashed the wrong rom. I noticed that with the tool I downloaded the first time, there are many more files than with the tool and rom posted on this topic.

With the nordic flasher, there were 12 .sin files.

With the X10Flash and mini rom, I have only 8 files in the firmware folder.

Maybe, this happens because bad files such as boot.sin or fota0.sin were flashed to the mini.

Do you think I have a way to recover it?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] WARKRIME:
You could just try the right update from this link and flash it with 2.1 see if it works?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] boulix:
Yes, I'll try that again.

Just to be sure to have the right version I just re-downloaded X10Flash-2.1.zip and mini.rar from the first post of this thread.

Here are the steps I am following :

- Extracted X10Flash

- Extracted the sin files from mini.rar and placed them in the firmware folder of X10flash

- Launched X10flash.bat and folowed the instructions.

I'm now waiting for it to finish flashing.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] UserX10:
Flashed my X10mini but after flashing it´s dead...

I can turn it on (it´s vibrating), that´s all... screen is off, nothing is happening.

So I flashed it again... same result.

After that I flashed it with 1.6 ... same result.... dead.

PC Companion or SEUS is not recognizing the phone.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Bin4ry:
Have you wiped userdata? If yes try redownloading Firmware, it could be that there was a downloading error.

So give it a try

I flashed my mini but the speakers are not working whats the problem?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] UserX10:
@Bin4ry

Yes, i wiped all data... no success.

Re-download FW is not necessary, because I flashed one mini = working, and a second one = dead.

Hey everyone

I'm pretty happy right now using the leaked 2.2 froyo, with Touchwiz + Launcherpro + Beautiful Widgets, etc. However, one thing i really don't like is the bubble theme in messaging. Is there any way to change it to the vanilla Android messaging theme? (For some reason my friends' Epic 4G has it in that format instead of the Bubble theme, and she didn't change it.)

I don't really want to use a complete SMS replacement app since I didn't like Handcent much.

Thanks for any help!
[Captivate General] uiskibum:
You can just replace it with the vanilla (or a variant) Mms.apk.
[Captivate General] m7ia:
Oh, thanks, I don't know why I didn't think of that... anywhere I would be able to get that file easily? or just download a vanilla android ROM and extract it?
[Captivate General] ozy944:
Download cognition Aosp , look in framework and steal the mms.apk .

Use root manager set to R/W

Remember to backup the orignial in system/app before you swap it. Not sure if you have to delete mms odex but hey, give it a try.
[Captivate General] m7ia:
hmm okay thanks for the advice, i'll just run a nandroid backup and then start experiment. i expect the stock mms.apk will break the touchwiz puzzle piece screen, too bad.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] peetuhr:
Hello, I have been installing android builds on my HD2 for months now, and have to say the recent development has really left me with a great android phone.

One problem I find I have consistently is that I can never get the kind of battery usage others speak of. Mine trends at 350mA right now which seems wrong cause my battery life isnt THAT bad. :confused: and I have never had a build thats had better than 10%->hour. :(

I'm using ShubCRAFT 2.0 with the hastarian r8 kernel, chunkydroid ROM and 02.12 something radio, i also have an australian HD2.

I keep my screen quite dim, wifi and bluetooth off, no over or underclock (since r8 doesnt support it), no auto task killer.

And while I'm at it my wifi tethering should work based on my build and kernel but every time i check it it says "Error" and third party apps are a no go either. :(

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. :)

Also to all the devs, I love you, I want to carry your children.

[XPERIA X10 Accessories] j3yps:
Suprisingly my former CarCharger that SOMETIMES work before works now
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] dipsy2:
As i understood, this is no bug:

The usb-specs say, that charging-cabels have to have a resistens between pin 2 and 3 of max. (i dont now, 100 Ohm or so). So one way to do so is just connect pin 2 and 3 (shortcircuit = 0 Ohm). Sony stays with this specification . So carchargers wont work, when u take a normal datacable, unless they are shortcuircuied itself.

[HD2 General] Camusa:
Yes, this is what I did:

Enable/Disable the Exchange security policy - HKLM\Security\Policies\00001023: 0 = Enabled; 1 = Disabled

The only way this is going to stay working is if your IT department does not consistently push the policy out with every sync.
[HD2 General] mistadj16:
I was getting "click here to download message" even though I clicked "download entire message" on activesync with exchange account.

So I messed with the following keys in Reg Edit:

MailBodyTruncation

MailFileAttachments

and was able to preview my messages instead of "click here to download message".

Got the same problems with our two test tabs. The native e-mail app kinda sucks and is a bit useless, if it crashes all the time.

I talked to Samsung about final software and they confirmed that the firmware on our two test tabs where final. So something is not quite right with that app.

Our sync upto our Exchange server and crash like 1 or 2 times a day.
[Galaxy Tab General] chmon:
confirm crash on my tab.... use IMAP for sync - as soon as I wanna reply / forward email, the app crash...

another issue: the email client is not workling with exchange 2010 SP1 (activesync)

And the Samsung email app also crashes on my tab sometimes.

Hi Maryland...

Before everyone asks, can you clarify whether or not this is compatible (ie 3G, etc..) with the X10a? I know there will be people asking multiple times, so rather than look later, I might as well save everyone some time.

Or, is it still recommended to wait for an official X10a firmware version of 2.1?

Thanks in advance for your help/advice and great job to everyone on XDA that is staying on top of things. Much appreciated.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sergiu84:
UPDATE

Right, since this post is luckily quite visible on the first page, thought I should put down some impressions/info.

FLASHING: it's quite simple, follow the instructions in the first post, including the optional part at the bottom if you're having trouble. I did it on a laptop with XP Pro SP3 32-bit (with jre6u19 I think).

Worth mentioning: at some stage the batch file will come up with "Finish" - it is NOT DONE!! It might take another few minutes, it's only done when it says "Press any key to continue..." , WAIT UNTIL IT DOES SO then press Enter as instructed.

ROOTING: When you root it, you will most likely find that you have to untick/tick USB debugging on the phone a few times to get it working. I used this, only needed SuperOneClickv1.5.1-ShortFuse.zip .

IMPRESSIONS: it is a bit slow at first, but it gets better after half an hour or so. Battery life seems to have improved a LOT, although this can easily be a subjective impression. It's very "swish and pretty". And best of all, Angry Birds works! What more could you want?

OTHERS:

Barnacle worked straight away for me (without having to put in athwlan0), Titanium Backup worked after installing its version of BusyBox.

APPS YOU COULD REMOVE

jerpelea made an easy-ish to use command list for this. Thank him for all his work, or else! ;)

WARNING: you might want to move apps into a Temp/ folder inside /system/app/ just in case instead of removing them completely.. Apps I removed (and everything seems fine), will try to remove others at some stage:

SEMCSetupWizard.apk

playnowback.apk

playnowclient.apk

moxiermail.apk

playnowappinstaller.apk

SEMCTouchPalKoreanQWERTY.apk

PcCompanion.apk (this might be needed, but so far it looks ok)

quadrapop.apk

wisepilot.apk

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikip23:
Hey everyone first time poster here. I have been researching the question I have in the forums and have not found an answer to my question yet so I figured I would just ask it. I just recently bought my htc evo and tried transferring a SNES rom over to my evo from my PC. At first my computer would not recognize that I was trying to have my evo seen as a disk drive (yes I did have it set to disk drive and not to charge only or another option). eventually it worked (I dont even know what I did, if I did anything at all). After I put this ROM onto my phone my sd card is mounted as read only (cant get it back to write), and no matter what I do I cant get my computer to read my phone as a disk drive. I tried changing the disk drive to another letter which didnt work, under device manager my computer recognizes I have an android phone plugged into my computer, but it still will not show anything in the "my computer" folder, it sees I have a device in, but I click on it and it says "please insert a disk into removable disk F". If anyone can help with this I would greatly appreciate it and thank you for taking the time to read all of this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4p741nkrunch:
Well the first thing to make sure of is that after plugging in the device you go to the notification bar and press on the USB Mass Storage notification, then select "Turn on USB storage". If you've done that simple step and it still doesn't see the SD card, then very simply try a different USB port on your computer.

Even if your card is in read only mode, you should still be able to read it :P

I don't know why it would be in read only unless you forgot to mount it with read/write after an advanced command.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikip23:
interesting, I have never seen the option of "turn on mass USB storage" when I've gone to the notification bar? In my notification bar I have a picture of the sd card with a question mark over it. When I drop down the notification bar the notification pertaining to the sd card says "mounted readonly" and the explaination says "The SD card has an unexpected problem. Tapping...." I have no idea what it says after that as it wont allow me to view the rest of the explanation.

As for the problem that this is causing is that it seems I cannot save anything to the sd card. The camera stops working to where I cant take pictures, or download music, and I'm assuming that its because these functions need somewhere to save the files and since the card is on read only nothing will be allowed to save on it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenKnight:
theres probably an error on the sd card, may need to reformat if its from a different phone too. Try to reformat, probably the only thing possible right now. But before you do that, go to your settings and enable usb debugging and see if that works first to allow your sd card to mount to the pc. Then it should be read as a drive. if not, your gonna have to reformat. so try this, if not, I can try to trouble shoot you more......
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikip23:
thanks for your reply. And yes I shouldve said before that I tried the USB debugging feature as well and that didn't do the job either. I saw reformatting as a suggestion in another thread but didnt see information on how to do it and that is out of my realm of knowledge. If you could explain to me how to do it I would greatly appreciate it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenKnight:
yea, no problem man, just go to settings>sdcard/sd>unmount the volume>reformat!

let me know if that works for you if not, something else is wrong.
