Can't Reboot Xperia x10 mini pro into recovery!

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

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.

[Q] Xperia J cannot boot (LED flashes for 1 sec and phone turns off)

Hi guys
I flashed the FXP 222 boot.img onto my unlocked Xperia J, and suddenly it cannot boot into anything, holding vol + and power lets the LED blink blue for 1 sec, and it shuts down again.
I cannot access Fastboot, or Recovery.
Battery is almost fully charged, I'm sure. (even then, I cannot charge the phone anymore)
What could be wrong? How can I fix this? Thank you!
*P.S. boot.img was from FXP222-cm-10.1-20130602-UNOFFICIAL-hayabusa from the FXP thread in Original Android Development.. thanks
**update: got it to go into fastboot by plugging in and pressing power + vol + at the same time..
may I know what did I do wrong though? Thank you..

or u can hold VOL UP and POWER button for more than 10 seconds ... fon will vibrate 3 times and it will POWER OFF completely.Then u can switch it ON normally using POWER button and on sony logo press VOL UP button to boot into recovery mode. From here u can flash any custom ROM...
OR u can just flash stock firmware using flashtool....
Hope this helps...

[Q] Xperia J Custom ROM help

Im trying to flash a custom rom in my xperia j.

0. I have flashtool and Android SDK.
1. I downloaded ROM ( X fusion)
2. I downloaded cm10 and gapps.
3. My mobile is already rooted and i unlocked its bootloader.
4. I installed CWM from both mobile and pc.
5. My problem : When i power off and press power + volume up, it wont go in recovery and boots normally.
My phone is stock jellybean.
Well im a real beginner in these things so i wanted to do it to learn it but i need help.

Try when you see Sony logo rapidly press volume down. How I do it:
Press power button until it vibrates (release power buton)
Rapidly press volume down till it go in CWM.

No worries @AdarshJKC98 It's all about Trial & Error, Here's how i install & Use CWM
Ensure Unknown Sources is enabled & Ensure Debugging is also Enabled, You must be rooted, Once you've made sure all of that go ahead and turn your device off, or just take your battery out, Place the USB Sync cable into your PC and go ahead and Boot up Flashtool,Once done so place the Micro USB end into your device and Hold Volume +, If done so correctly a Blue LED will light up, Click the thunderbolt icon on flashtool and select 'Fastboot Mode' And then click on 'Select Kernal To Flash' once done so find the Boot.img i have given you (Link provided below) Once the kernal has been flashed unplug the micro usb cable and go ahead and power on your device
How do i open up CWM on my device
It's simple once you have powered on your device a Purple LED on the Illumination bar Should illuminate keep pressing Volume + or Volume - Either should do the trick, the LED Should then light up Blue, Once done go ahead and use the steps provided to flash your ROM

Hope this helped ;3

Thnx so much dude, it works

Another small problem !
I entered recovery mode, i wiped cache and tried to install cm10, but it said installation aborted.
So i installed X Fusion directly and rebooted my phone.
But now it lights up, give the purple light which turns off after some time and remains like this.
what to do ?

You need to flash the stock rom again. There is no other way to hard rest the phone.
I have tipo dual.

try entering android recovery.
There you will have the option to factory reset the phone.
When the phone boots and sony logo shows press volume up button or volume down button repeatedly.(I forgot which one exactly )
Then you will enter android recovery.
Hit thanks if I helped.

I think, he don't have custom recovery installed.
To go in custom recovery reboot the phone start pressing volume down button repeatedly until you get in recovery.

No, Tipo don't have stock recovery. We need to install custom recovery.
