[Q] Help phone bricked after CM7 rom install.. - General Questions and Answers

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

[Q] Help! Xrecovery menu Xperia x10

i just cant get into the recovery menu. what am i doing wrong?
I just bought my x10i firmware 2.1-update1
2.0.A.0.504.
i Rooted my phone using the new superoneclick.
installed busybox succesfully
installed xrecovery succesfully.
tried 100 times pressinf the back button 3 times on the SE LOGO.
But it freezes on the logo screen or it just boots up the phone.
I even tried the method to install the 3 files into the bin file.
But after this its the same,
sorry for my english and hope you guys understand.
Please help me!
I have the same problem!
I would also like to know.

totally ****er bull****.
The 1 u posted is X10 mini. I din c before i run it. Now my hp cant boot up anymore.
What do you mean HP?
the title says X10? Why would you try it on a HP?
Geeks, please help us
Same prob
Now we know for sure, that xRecovery is dangerous if we don't know how to handle it
i havent met any problem entering the xrecovery menu even when i first installed it even though i was a complete noob on android (now i am just noob)
only thing i was doing is that i never pressed the back button only 3 times, i always keep pressing it until i get the xrecovery menu
Yes, keep pressing the back button until you enter the XRecovery menu.
If it still fails then I would revert my phone to the STOCK SE ROM (basically means repairing your phone using Sony Ericsson's PC Companion or Update Service utility), and then use FlashTool to root the device and install Busy Box and XRecovery.
FlashTool is basically an all in one solution and is less painful to use for beginners. Just do a search for it in the XDA forums.
Hope this helps.

[Q] Cannot unbrick X10 Mini Pro. Tried everything i could find on the internet.

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.....

Try flashing the stock rom, it worked for me!!!!!!
the same thing hapenned to me too
Okay so I seem to have soft bricked my Xperia J too
Only this time I can't seem to get into Flash mode or Recovery mode!
Holding/Pressing Vol+ doesn't bring up the blue LED and the phone doesn't vibrate at all.
Likewise for Vol+. Nothing happens and the phone remains stuck on the Sony boot logo.
Any idea what I could do? (USB isn't recognised on PC either so I can't connect that way.)
Edit: Okay scratch that, randomly button mashing Volume DOWN seemed to work for me. Only took about 50 or so reboots
Sony`s PC Companion can repair Boot Up problems after CWM install faild
Just watch this video on youtube and follow exactly the description on your PC Companion. Just search for this video on youtube "How to fix a (soft) bricked Sony Xperia Play( any Xperia )EASY METHOD, when stuck on the Sony logo"
Wanted to post the Link but it`s not allowed before posted at last ten contributions - sorry for that (XDA rules!)
This will fix all Xperia Models - it works so easy and pretty fast (about 20 minutes) and after that you have a phone just like brand new from the dealer with the latest software rolled out for your device in your country - sweet
Pls help me S1 fastboot prblm

[Q] infinite Xperia S bootloop, tried EVERYTHING

I know this has been asked a lot, but i literally tried everything.
i have a sony xperia s, no SD card. rooted on jelly bean firmware 6.2.B.0.211 using Doomlord root kit, after playing with some tweaks, i rebooted the phone so they will take effect, the phone is now stuck in a boot loop... TRIED EVERYTHING, deleted the cache, system, data, tried the sony update, flashtools, installing custom ROM or flashing the same one. the problem is, when i'm trying to put the phone in flashmode or fastboot mode, the sony logo appears after 5 seconds, showing "device disconnected" on flashtools. thus i can't ( i think) use it. i really dont know what to do here, i've been looking all over the internet for anything to do...tried everything i have read, but to no use. can anyone PLEASE help me.
Cant connect via usb fastboot then very less hope...
Contact sony costumer care....

[Completed] sony xperia sp bricked and need help im at a lost end :(

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.
