Hello there,
I own a Xperia Miro, firmware version 11.0.A.5.5, rooted, bootloader locked. Well, I have installed the CWM for Miro v6, it installed properly, but when I turn off the phone, and turn it on again, the SONY logo appears, but when I press the Vol - key repeatedly, nothing happens, it just boots normally.
I'm using the 11.0.A.5.5 firmware by Option58, the phone is rooted with UnlockRoot, and it seemed to work fine, but I can't boot into CWM Recovery.
Can anyone help me please?
Oh yes, the phone is an ST23i branded by Vodafone Spain.
Greetings, Ryone.
You have to press volm down button when the bottom led turns violet on startup..that is before the Sony logo appears

Again nothing happens, I'll try to root again with the Binary's method, maybe the adb isn't allright.
make sure unknown sources is ticked in security, root agian with unlockroot, then reboot the phone, and install CWM.
Allright, I tried to root it with Bin4ry's and it loops forever in Running...
I'm using Windows 8, do you think it will be the problem? Tomorrow I'm going to try with Windows 7.
win 8 must not be a problem as i have done all dat on my laptop which runs on windows 8
but also try on win 7
Finally fixed! All I had to do was pressing Grant when SuperSU asked, I did it using Windows 8, and it seemed to work fine, THANK YOU ALL! <3

I rooted my device "Xperia x10 mini pro" using 'Unlock Root', unlocked Bootloader, installed BusyBox and Root Explorer. Installed xRecovey, CMW Recovery and whatever it was required to REBOOT into recovery.
Switched Off my phone & pressed back button when Sony Ericsson logo appeared but nothing happened. It didn't into recovery.
I am so disappointed now and don't know what to do to get into recovery
It would be a great help if you could let me out from my problem.
Thank You
Model Number:U20i
Build Number:2.1.1.A.0.6
Hello
Hello, Did you manage to put the sony x10 mini pro into recovery??

try to press the volume down button intermittently during the boot .. thats how i get into the recovery (CWM) in my mini pro (SK17i) .. but since urs is X10 mini pro im not so sure if my method will work for ur fone ! theres no harm in trying
You have to keep smashing the back button until the recovery appears.

hold power and vol up button and release power after it turned on if you come into recovery mode your done : )
None of these methods work for me.
I rooted the phone, unlocked the bootloader, have xrecovery on it, I was even using the custom rom for a while, but when I tried to restart and enter recovery, I couldn't.
Now my rom will not even start up normally, and I can't get FlashTool to force it into recovery since the phone has to be turned on for flashtools to do that.
Am I seriously going to have to do the whole rooting procedure all over again?
EDIT: Solved omfg You really have to keep SMASHING that Back button, holding it does nothing!
Thnx, and God bless HTC.

Fix Xperia C Red Light brick
Are you facing that the red led on your device blinks and there is no other signs of life? Then you are in the correct thread, I faced this issue when flashing a corrupted recovery but then I found out a easy way to fix it without opening the device or sending it in to Sony.
Requirements:
Xperia C with red light softbrick
MicroUSB Cable
Sony Update Service
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have downloaded Sony Update Service and have installed it onto your PC from the link above, if not, do it now.
2. Now launch Sony Update Service and select Xperia C in the list and then press Next.
3. Hold the Volume Up button and plugin microusbcable while doing so, if that doesn't work for you, hold power + volume up and plugin the microusbcable while doing. Keep holding button combination for a few seconds and wait for a green light on your phone, if it appears check on
your PC so that it's detected.
4. Wait while the firmware is being downloaded and reinstalled on your phone and enjoy your working device!
Have tried this on my bricked xperia c red led
Few weeks back no success
Logic
If you flash wrong recovery there is no way to boot in any mode
I can say this with 100% confident as I had spent full 3 days and tried every thing...
If u wona check goto custome mod for xperia c thred and get recovery installed
Then try this and share results
All the best

I flashed a faulty recovery using mobileuncles and there was no signs of life other than a red led liggt, and holding power + volume up works just fine and it went into flashmode.
I have the same issue.
I organized xperia light rom for our xperia c, I flashed it from custom recovery. Phone is completely dead now.
There is a just red light, phone does not go into download or fastboot mode. Pc Companion, Sony Update Center, Wmshua Flashtool do not recognize the phone.
Any suggestion with that?
I don't have warranty, my last option is to pay money for technical service.
this worked for me but instead of POWER+VOL UP i used POWER+VOL DOWN
thanks
thank, i like this forum
worth to try... (hope it won't happen to me :laugh: )
I have experienced this too, however, instead of using the Sony Update Service, I used the Sony PC Companion. At first it was not working, so I did a hard reset on the phone (press the button at the back). I held the power+up button while inserting the cable, and finally it was detected by Sony. It will reset your device to factory settings though.

If you flash a different device's rom, it happens. If you replace your motherboard, it will work again.

It worked for my Xperia M (rooted on JB 4.3) with a locked bootloader which was STUCK on bootloop screen and when I did the whole thing with holding the power and volume up button (after I let the battery die after so many bootloops it did), FINALLY I was able to take it to flashmode, while I had selected from Sony PC Companion to repair my phone, and after 3-4 tries, I DID IT!!! Thank you so much for this thread ( I DEFINITELY pressed the "thanks" button), it really SAVED ME time and money (because I was planning to send it to Sony to fix it and you ALL know how bastards Sony is)!!!! And to all those of you who are DESPERATE to fix their phone (I hope you read this thread), DON'T PANIC, and DON'T GIVE UP!!! It took me 2 days of searching the web, and FINALLY I MADE IT!!! There are ALWAYS solutions to these kinds of problems!!!!

use sony update services
switch your phone completely.
star SUS then follow
when it asks to connect you phone, connect usb cable to pc not phone & then only press & hold volume down btn and connect it to your phone don't release until you see its connected
It says no new update is available.

Hi,
I don't know what can I do now, perhaps noting. I accidentialy flashed wrong bootloader (from other xperia, not Miro). Now phone seems to be completly bricked, I can't turn it on and my PC does not see any new device after connecting phone to usb. I also tried to remove and insert battery, after this when trying to power on, there is short vibration and nothing more.
Do you have any ideas? Or I simply should to use it as brick, not as phone or put it to my toilet and wash? Thanks.
Can you get in flashmode? Power button down + connect to pc. Flash proper ftf for your phone.
Sent from Xperia M2 D2303
Don't worry, Your phone is not hard bricked. As you mentioned that on starting , phone is vibrating that means there are chances to recover your phone.
1.First go through this guide :Using Flashtool for Xperia devices
2.Download your current stock firmware . Visit this: Miro all official firmwares
3.Install proper drivers as mentioned in the above 1.flashtool guide.
4.Flash the firmware for your phone , according to the above 1. Flastool guide.
5.Wait untill flashing completes. start your device when you are told to do so.
Good luck :good:

It seems I can't. I already tried this, but nothing happens. As far as I know, there should be blue led after connect. But nothing happens and PC can't see any new device.

You should see green light. Try this :
Pull out battery, hold power button for 10 seconds without battery. Reinstall battery, hold volume button - and connect to usb. Then follow steps that prateek.invasion gave you.
The point is you can flash ftf and restore your phone.
Good luck.

Thanks, I will try. Batteery is not charging, so I need to do this quick, it was not fully charged.
Unfortunatly, I can't do anything. I tried to connect while Volume down + power pressed. But nothing happens, only led flashing with red color. PC can't see any new device after I connect to usb.
Any ideas?

I had the same issue with my xperia e after I unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM, the phone just rebooted itself at boot up. If you have installed CWM I suggest you to install a custom rom and a new kernel. That worked for me . Or ofc, if you have warranty you can send it to them. They won't be able to tell if you installed another rom since the pc doesn't recognize the phone.
I don't have cwm... trying to connect to computer with volume down pressed. After this led starts flashing red and computer can't see any device connected
Seems there is no any recovery or I can't put it to recovery mode.
Okay here is the thing, I have and xperia miro it's not booting up. I turned it off took the battery out and removed the memory card. Then I tried to start it again but it's not starting no led nothing on screen. When I connect to pc, it only shows as unknown device I don't what happened but it's not starting. Please help me. I tried the keys method to volume+ and - things but nothing happens. The battery was charged to 80% I don't know what happened. Please help. Thanks.

Did this happen while you were installing any custom rom ? Does your phone show the boot logo of sony ? Is your phone rooted? Is your bootloader unlocked? If yes, then flash stock rom in flashmode with flashtool.
Hi, here is the same trouble: Xperia Miro st23i, was simply turned off (not while flashing) and now doesn't turn on, has no logo, lights, vibes etc, on USB shown as unrecognized device, also cannot be connected to PC Companion and Flashtool. This device has factory stock firmware without any mods s.a. root or BLU, battery is OK.
my sony xperia miro st23i just cut off just so and it don't want to boot back up I took out the battery and put it back and when I press the power button it vibrate and that's all the screen blank all u seeing is a blue light on the bottom of the screen when u press the power button again. How to get back my phone to work
