Hi there.
Yesterday, for no apparent reason de device stopped syncing my Gapps data. OEM 2.1 ROM. I did a backup and reset the device to factory defaults. Even if battery went to 100% and the USB cable were connected, the phone did not finished the process and now I have a non turning on mini pro. Mac does not feel it, neither Windoze or Linux with dmesg. PC Companion won´t see it neither. Neither FlashTool. I tried to flash it with the original ftf but the phone do not turn on and of course FlashTool won't see it. Tried pressing home and on/off but nothing. I searched like a dork for "bricked xperia x10 mini pro" but there´s a lot of crowd calling a semi-bricked, bricked. Which is not, because a semi-bricked can be repaired with SEUS or even FlashTool.
I know is a whole different animal, but once I bricked a Nokia and with some trickery the device came to life.
Guys, you`re my only hope. I really like this phone for texting and everything.
Thank you for reading. Best regards.
Bump!
Please help me out! At least tell me anything.
Thanks.

What do you mean?
When PC Campanion says "hold back key and connect phone to USB" then It detects the device.
I have bricked SE Xperia X10 mini pro, same simptoms phone doesn't react to anything it's absolutely silent, no image, no text.
And yes I tried SEUS, PC Companion, Flashtool (with ggsetup) and Omnius. Nothing hepled.
May be a battery is down but I can't check it as well.
Same here. The phone doesn't react to "off" button, No LEDs, no display, no sound, won't get recognized by Flashtool when USB plugged in with "back" held, a total, real brick, dark and dead and invisible to all software.
The battery was full - it was full when the phone got bricked by installing a kernel for ICS.
helllppp

I have the same problem please help:crying:
When you put the tick called "preloader" in Flashtools - then the phone is dead... now only jtag method may can help you(in some phone service)
I remember that one morning I found my Xperia Arc S with stock GB 2.3.4 rom like dead although it was fine when I plugged the charger in before I slept. In the morning I couldn't turn it on, removing and replacing battery did nothing. No light when I charged it. It was really looking like it was forever dead. After a few days, in despair, I tried every reset method I could find about Xperia phones, except the one that finally worked:
I holded the back or menu button (I forgot which one) then plugged in the USB cordon to the computer. I got a green or blue light! I learned later that it was Fastboot mode or Flash mode. Then I unplugged the device, and it started like if nothing happened. I only had this problem once again. Since I rooted it and installed a custom rom, I never had this issue again.
If you didn't try this yet, that is worth trying
Bricked Sony Xperia X10 Mini Pro (U20)
Hi, I really need your help.
I have bricked my Xperia x10 Mini Pro (u20)
I had CM7 Custom Mod running on my phone,
I update CWM 2.0 to 5. something and suddenly it stop working.
It hangs at the Sony Ericsson Boot Logo.
It won't enter into Recovery Mode.
I tried the PC Companion Repair, but it won't go past the "press and hold the back Key"
Because my PC won't recognize my Phone. (I had the SEMC USB drivers installed already)
Please help!!! Thank you

best solution is to find a person who can jtag
Sorry I know this has probably been asked before, yes I have been searching but can't find an answer. I rooted my phone last Feb. and have been through several rom's. Now I want to switch rom's again but, when I plug my phone into my pc via usb I am not given any choices on my phone it automatically is going directly into charge and not giving me the option to use my phone as drive so that I can add new rom to my sd/card. How do I fix this? Please help!!!
Sorry found correct usb cord. The one I had plugged in was for charging only.
Thanks anyway

Hello,
I have been digging through google, xda, other forums, yada yada. Every bit of information I find on this problem is out of date (and doesn't work, ironically). I'm getting USB not recognized when connecting my phone by usb to my laptop or desktop. I've tried a different cord, I've uninstalled/reinstalled drivers, I've been following the instructions of every thread I find to no avail. I'm becoming frustrated, and am hoping someone can lead me out of the dark here. Samsung g3 vzw, was on delta 2 rom, but just flashed Beans 14 to see if it would fix the issue (nope). Stock kernal. I don't have Kies, and honestly I've never used it. Please help..

Boot into download mode.
Plug phone into pc & let it install drivers.
Unplug phone from pc and pull battery.
Insert battery and boot normally.
Plug into pc and it should be recognized.
I have to do this almost daily.

I have a Xperia S running cm 12.1 with unlocked bootloaders TWRP installed and i tried to partition my SD card [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584759] but clearly something went wrong and now the phone wont boot. I made a lot of research and tried everything but all the guides require to be able to boot into flashmode . My phone is dead the only sign of life is a red led when its charging which after some hours of charge will shut off. When the light is off and the phone connected on PC, the PC can recognize the device on unspecified devices (QHSUSB_DLOAD). i have installed all the needed drivers from Sony, google drivers from sdk, and adb drivers(adb wont see the device and i tried everything to do so, but nothing seem to work). I got a market for android on my pc called mobogenie that when i connect the phone it detects that a phone is connected but wont see what phone.The hardware reset buttons work but its useless in the current position. Concluding, the phone is bricked and wont open in fastboot-flashboot-bootloader-TWRP, its recognized as a device but not as "Xperia s" i got all the drivers and i want to flash the original firmware (already downloaded) to fix it. A possible problem is that the partition table is destroyed and after the flash it will hopefully be restored. The problem is not on the hardware but on software. I tried to trigger the download mode with the Samsung way (USB jig, 300k ohm ) but nothing happened as expected. Every solution i found required flash mode which is not accessible at the moment and i tried lots of things to go into fastboot(ever the rubber band trick,remove the battery etc). PLEASE help i dont know what to do, please help me flash it (i already got flashtool, Emma) or anohter solution. Thanks for the help in advance. (its my first thread in the forum, i hope to post it on the right section, i posted it here because i need the assistance of the developers i guess)

Hi all,
My friend has (I think) soft bricked his LG Tribute from sprint. It doesn't charge correctly when plugged into a laptop or the charger that came with it. it just shows the loading battery symbol. However, if you leave it plugged in for like 5-10mins, it will show something like:
[101160] fastboot_init()
[101260] USB init ept @ 0xffe5000
[101280] udc_start()
Oh, something I also forgot to mention is that the phone thinks the battery is at 0%, even though I charged it with an external charger. Even when i try to go into software mode with the charger plugged in, it doesn't let me, because of the "low" battery percentage. I want to get this phone back up and running, so if ANY of you guys out there have the exact same device as me, I need the stock rom for this device. i have been googling for hours with no luck (The roms i found weren't in the format i needed) .kdz format needed in order to use LG flash tool. Also, do take note that this device has NEVER been rooted, or flashed in any way. if ANY of you guys manage to find the stock ROM for this device, PLEASE link it down in the thread. Thanks!
