Guys I'm new here, but I saw that there are many useful info here. I bought a SE U20i (X10 mini pro) via paypal. I put a sim(greek network), but the phone doesn't recognize it. It asks for PIN(SIM) and then a PIN to unlock network, so I decided to change the build.prop. The process I followed was that:
1.Downloading-installing the root explorer v2.12
2. Copying the build.prop file in the sd-card
3.Rooting the phone
4.Rebooting
5.Running Root explorer and copying the build.prop file from the sd-card to the system folder
6.rebooting
I tried many build.prop files. The result was the same. After reboot the phone stucks in the SE logo and rebooting all the time. I tried to repair it with Companion(which returns the phone to the previous version) and so I tested the next build.prop. After a few tests, the companion stopped repairing the phone(showing a message "There is no new version for your phone, try again later"), I tried the SEUS with no result. Now the phone is rebooting all the time after showing the SE logo. Any ideas?
I also tried to hard reset the phone but no result...
Solved it...

Here's what happened-
I downloaded a new ROM for my x10 mini pro and i did a factory restore via CWM then i selected install zip for SD card and selected MINICM7 2.1.6 after that the installation began. I did not flash my phone. after that i got a message. Kernel nAa something like that not found and it proceeded with installation.
Then when my phone restarted It got stuck at the SE logo. I cannot get into CWM menu. or do a reset(Power + home). Then Connected my phone to my PC over the USB. it showed a unmounted drive and told me to mount it via the phone. But, I cannot do so as I can do absolutely nothing with the phone. I pulled off the battery and then connected it while pressing the back key a greed light lit up. And my phone said -"Connected to Sony ericsson phone" (without showing the model). Soon the green light disappeared by itself and my PC connection broke too. I tried several times but the same thing happened. I tired looking for SEUS for x10 mini pro- But. the SE site told me that the software wasn't available for my phone . PLZ I really need your experience and help. PLZ help. I greatly appreciate it.

I am a new user and can't post links but Google what alexyaz said to help guide you through, search something like hot to access abd to install ROM. also if you need your original software Google search the model of your phone with stock ROM.
Once you fix it due try to read all directions a few times when implementing a new ROM to make sure you don't get any unneeded errors
i have a x10 mini pro and it got bricked.
i tried out every single procedure i could find on the internet. But still, i could not unbrick the phone.
The current status of my phone is , when i start it, it briefly vibrates then a blank screen appears for 5seconds. Then nothing for another 5 seconds, then the blank screen again... its the blank screen loop.
I dont see any Sony Ericsson logo or NAA kernel Logo.
The phone was running of
1. Naa Kernel v10,
2. cm7 1.9
3. unlocked boot loader
Things i tried:
1. Flashing stock rom and all other roms using flash tool.
2. Flashing Naa kernel v11.
3. Repair my phone using Sony Ericsson PC Companion.
4. Hard Reset.
5. Disassembled the device and the screen cables are good.
The adb does not recognize my phone, the flash tool recognizes my phone, but the PC Companion does not. When i select the Support Tool in the PC Companion and repair my phone, the PC Companion re-installs the Stock ROM successfully.
But still, i am stuck in the blank screen loop.
I had PMed this scenario to some experienced devs here in XDA.... and got replies too.... that didnt help again....
Please do help.
Thanks in advance.
It seems to be a hardware problem and not a brick.....
thanks to @leajian for the advice....
Thats a relief..... will give the device to the service center and see.....

I've bricked my SGS2 loads of times just by flashing roms, I just flash a stock rom back and start again then use my jig - that resolves bricking
Yup...
i did the flashing like 100 times....
restored the phone with pc companion another 100 times...
still the same thing..... blank screen loop.....
Dear members, I have a sony tipo dual. I tried to install cm10 on it, and was successful but later when i inserted the sim i came to know that CM10 doesn't support tipo dual.
Now my problem:
1. I tried to use PC Companion and go back to original Firmware but it says "Phone has modified software. It cannot be updated."
2. I tried to flash it with a Central Europe stock, but everytime i do that it throws an error and stops.
3. I am not able to copy the Gimlo firmware on the phone. Whenever i try to copy it says "Cannot copy item. The device disconnected or stopped working."
4. I tried using fastboot and install the .sin files but I was able to install only the kernel.sin. While installing the system.sin i gave an error of Too large file.
I have attached the flashtool's log
30/015/2013 19:15:04 - INFO - Unable to read from phone after having opened it.
=============================================================at this point my phone restarts
30/015/2013 19:15:04 - INFO - trying to continue anyway
Now i just want to restore this phone to its original software. The biggest mistake i did was not to keep a backup when i installed CM10.
Please help me...
Perhaps Sony Update Service. So flashing a stock kernel doesn't work? Have you unticked TA/no final verification?
Sometimes this works! Try that first and otherwise Sony Update Service.
Success, and good luck!
Sent by magic!
Hi,
I have already tried using the Update service, but i get the same error "Modified Software".
Also the most irritating things is that I am not able to copy anything on the phone when I connecct it to my pc.
I tried disabling the TA/ Final verification, but this is not helping either.
Guys plz help.... the phone restarts during the flashboot process..
Edit:
I was trying to edit the build.prop file.. If this works can I use Sony Update service to reinstall the original software?
Can anyone please share the original build.prop file for tipo dual. I dont have the original one and my current build.prop file shows the device as ST21i (Sony Tipo) whereas it should be ST21i2 (Sony Tipo Dual).
Expecting your help...
Hello , i own a Crypto Novapad 10,1” D100 since its a small company it came without Google Play instealled, it had 1Market instead. I rooted the phone and i tried to install new gapps using the ES File explorer and overwrite the old files with the new ones. When i rebooted my tablet i got stuck with the "Setup Wizard has stopped working" loop. I tried hard reset/factory reset but nothing happened. Any possible solutions?
thanks in advance
Hi, I'm a noob to this site and is my last call of action ive tried everything to get my phone working but I'm at a lost end now and getting frustrated.
If anyone can help me with my problem it will be much appreciated and a lot of pressure taken off me. to start with I towel rooted my xperia sp (c5303) which gave me root. I then installed a recovery called philz which worked great. installed lollipop all fine booted up but no data signal bar had explanation mark. I tried the data fix through recovery did not work so I thought il flash my device again to see if it rectifies my problem so I deleted all data cache delvic cache chose the file off sd card that I previously used but this time I got an error. and the phone just restarted . so I assume there is nothing on my phone now no firmware as it turns on comes up with the sony logo but hangs after a minute or so my phone turns its self off. I plug my phone into pc usb and the lightbar turns green at the bottom then after 40 seconds goes red with the sony logo again then after a minute reboots to green and so on in a boot loop state. I have tried flashing my phone to stock with flashtools but it gets so far then gives error that I don't have usb debugging and unknown sources enabled. I cant have them enabled as I cant access my phone. I have gone into flash tool drivers folder downloaded flashmode drivers and fastboot and viskan board it starts to install them comes up with welcome to device driver installation . sony(winusb) says failed. Google inc (winusb) says failed sony ericsson mobile communication says failed I assume it cant see my phone. I just don't understand what to do next.
If any body has had this problem could you please shed a little light, Thanks for taking time out to read this.
