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.

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

My phone bricked after OTA. I checked all tutorials but whenever i try to flash ftf files, flashtool is keeping to say open debugging.
Before trying flashtool i flashed it several times with wotanserver.
Please help me.
Did you try to repair it using PC Companion?
This will do a clean flash with a complete original Image.
Thanks for your help i fixed it with flashtool
USB Connection constantly up and down
Hi guys,
I made an OTA update to my xperia Ray ST18 because the guy that sold me the phone didn't warn me it has been unlocked. Now it's dead!
I'm really desperate.
I tried Sony Update Tool to try to flash the new ROM. It detects the phone and says it has flashed OK. Then I disconnect the cable and try to turn on the phone but it doesn't start.
The only response I get when I try to restart the phone is a short vibration but the phone still doesn't start.
I don't know if it's normal but when I put the phone to charge there's no light turning on. Is it normal?
I'm also trying to flash with Flashtool but the phone now keeps loosing USB connection.
Any tips would be highly appreciated.

Hi,
Normaly is Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) the best Way
to repair your Phone.
If the Phone loos USB-Connection, check USB (ADB+SDK) Driver
or install new.
Maybe a other Way is "S1tool" it´s a small and crippled subset of SETOOL2 service tool.
Install it, all USB Driver inside.
Shut down your Virusprogram an startet it.
Press the Restore Button in S1
Bring Phone in Fastboot
(Loudness Button UP and USB Connect, you see blue Light on the Home Button)
Wait arround 5 Second..... Finsh
I had the same Problem about flash on my Ray.
The Phone was dead, only the Vibration works on started.
If i press the Start-Botton again, the Home-Botton-Light flash,
that´s was all.
New flashing with SEUS brought no success
S1 is also a good Tool for easy "unblock Bootloader in 10 Second"
And the CyanogenMod 7.20
(original update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-urushi-signed)
ist the best Firmware for the Ray.
Absolut fast, so overclocking ca do.
My Ray works with 1,6 GHz without Probs.
All what you need find it here:

FOR THE FUTURE, NO OTA UPDATE IF BOOTLOADER IS OPEN - THE FIRMWARE IS THEN BLOCKED FOR OTA
Greeting Onex1
Don't know if anyone can help me in my situation but I have a major problem arising from an OTA update too, my phone just refuses to read my SIM card. In fact, it doesn't even ask me for my PIN number, it just boots as normal but I have no connection to any network. I've tried using the SIM card in another phone and it works fine, therefore the problem is with the phone itself.
I'd recently had my phone network & bootloader unlocked by wotanserver using the test point method - because of this I thought the DRM keys would be fine (e.g. TrackId & Timescape still worked). However, when I was updating OTA my phone bricked!
So, I searched high and low for a solution and ended up using s1tool to restore the locked bootloader. Then I used flashtool to flash a stock ICS ftf file. It seemed to work (the phone rebooted) but it was then I noticed that the SIM card wasn't being recognised. Also, in the Flashtool log I noticed that a blue line was there saying 'this file is ignored simlock.ta'.
I've tried everything I can think of to fix this.. Hard resets, updating with Sony Update Service but nothing works. There's just so much conflicting info out there that I'm really confused at this stage. I have a perfectly good phone in that everything works bar the SIM and I'd hate to have to buy another one!
Any suggestions anyone or is my phone screwed for good? :/
Hey guys, so I was updating to latest Kitkat firmware OTA and the android guy with the red exclamation point appeared and boot looped.
So, I used Flashtool to correct this and... the phone died.
Can't power on, doesn't vibrate, no SONY logo, no LED blinking, nothing.
Windows installs drivers for QHSUSB_BULK and that's it.
In device manager it appears as SOMC Flash Device anda flashtool detects it but, I can't do anything about it.
15/012/2015 00:12:50 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
15/012/2015 00:12:50 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
That's what I get.
From searching around I think the boot partition is gone (?)
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm completly stuck here.
Did you try to turn it off with reset by the sim card? Then hold volume down (- button) connect to usb and flash ftf.
Good Luck.

It probably (hopefully) got stuck. Try to (soft) reset it. There is a very small button next to the SIM card slot. You would need a needle or something that small to push it. If that doesn't work I am afraid it would be better to take it to Sony assistance.

I've been using that button since forever...
Do you think it's related to the loader partition or something?
Maybe you ran out of battery? Does your phone charger when you plug in? Also try different usb, reboot your pc then try again. I had softbrick my phones few times but always fix it with Flashtool.
Press power off button (small one by the sim) and leave the phone, Open Flashtool, select ftf wait for the popup dialogue, press volume down, connet phone to usb. This is proces i always do.
Good Luck.

If your device get disconnected every 5-7 seconds than it is a bootloop which is not showing on screen but you can observe it in device manager
And you have to try different key combination to stop that boot loop while flashing

So i've broke my phone by editing build.prop ... i don't have any recovery, usb debugging AS I REMEMBER WAS ENABLED and my phone is just bootlooping connected on my laptop, it detects it but i can't access files, nor does adb find my phone, or pc companion or any other android file manager . My question is: CAN I FIX IT PLEASE? I've downloaded the original firmware and got out the build.prop the original one, but how can i place it in?!
EDIT: I think i found a fix, sony pc companion actually started to work now after i "entered recovery mode" after a few reboots trying to hold volume down there is no logo, black screen but the phone is like turned on, and it detected my phone and now i'm trying to install my software
If this is going to work, can somebody point out to me some recovery mod and a fast ROM?

hi everybody,
I left my phone charging in the night(it was on) and when i came to take it in the morning (it was off)... i tried to turn it on but it didn't turn on!
(IM USING ORIGINAL SONY CHARGER AND USB THAT CAME WITH IT)
when I plug it in to a charger the LED turns green (that means that the battery is at 90% or above)
i tried power and volume up (hard reset) but it didn't work!
when i connected to my computer it wasn't detected....(tried all USB ports)
Also, i tried to enter Flashmode and Fastboot mode.. and none of them worked!
Xperia companion didn't detect it....
I tried to turn it on several times but it didn't work!
i even tried all buttons combination (power, both volumes ) all together, and nothing worked!
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
please anyone have an idea or any suggestion that might help!
all your suggestions are so much appreciated!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
I used to be a bit similar to your situation, but its power indicator is not lit. Pressing other buttons did not respond. I also tried to connect it to the computer, but still didn't respond. I had no choice but to send it back to the after-sales service. The response I got was that the power IC was damaged.

doesnt seem like something that can be fixed on a software level, you need to send it to sony to fix it if youre under warranty.

It's a long story, but bought an XZ from Toby Deals ( never ever use those rip off merchants ).
Decided not to want to turn on just before the year warranty ran out. Red flashing LED whilst charging, white Sony screen comes up, then goes off again, repeats ad infinitum. Obviously tried all the usual volume up/power button resets and this actually responds with the one buzz/three buzz response. Original charger and even a brand new battery - no change.
Didn't want to send back to Singapore, so tried Sony support who advised to send to Sony UK repair center.
I sent it in, came back as 'can't repair due to non UK model'.
Advised Sony on line support again, who promised me it would be looked at if sent in again.
Did that and they sent it back repaired and working ( no hardware ) - reflashed ?? Happy for three days.
Same thing happened after three days / same symptoms as before
Sent in again, sent back as 'non UK model' again. Started to cry
Informed Toby Deals who now don't want to know, as now a few moths past warranty expiry date.
Now I have a bricked expensive phone and have had since January. What a waste of money.
All I want to do, is whatever Sony UK repairers did in their factory.
No detection on PC and Companion either, which I feel is a big problem for any reflashing ideas.
Any ideas anybody please ?

Your phone is still booting, so the boot partition is still ok.
Download newflasher.
Install the Sony ADB drivers, to do this you will need to boot your Windows10 into safe mode and use 'driver signing disabled'
Read up on Xperiafirm, download the latest firmware for your region.
Put a copy of the Newflasher into the firmware download folder.
Unplug your phone from the PC.
Turn your phone off completely Power and Vol up (+) until it vibrates three times.
Run the newflasher and when prompted, plug your phone back in while holding the Volume up (+). Once the process has started you can let go.
Good luck
If you see any led light , try to use pc companion ( if your phone is not unlocked ) and if you have unlocked bootloader try to use xperifix to download the latest software for your phone and then flash it using newflasher ( don't forget to have the Sony USB drivers on your computer ) pls tell us if it works to find another way to fix your smartphone.

I am running through this now, but the firmware within Xperiafirm is a little light on the F8332 version ( dual sim ).
The single sim F8331 has lots more options including one for UK Virgin Mobile, which could be mine. The only other option for the 8332 is the Central Europe 1 CE1 option, which I don't think it is. Any advice please ? I am trying to find it on the Sony site, as @IgorEisberg states "XZ F8331 and F8332 are on the sony server now"

It doesn't matter which region you have as long as the model number is the same, it's not locked to any language. The language can be chosen on start up, from a fresh install.
Central Europe 1 CE1 will be just fine.

Did you install the drivers in 'safe mode'?
Hi. Yes I did. Still no joy, but I haven't tried since last time. I'll have another go this week, unless you can think of anything else it could be, or that I can try?
my xz premium reboots when I plug in charger. I will sell it and buy samsung ( i dont like it) before it dies completely lol
oh it was water in charging port, now all works perfectly

Still no joy.
I am using Windows 10 and when I requested recovery reboot, it does give me a safe boot option ( option 5 I think ), but it also gives me a 'disable driver signing' option too and you can't opt for both.
I have actually tried to boot in both modes and the newflasher does the same thing - see attached screenshot
Not sure what more I can do, to get these drivers on. I have also run in developer mode and set USB device discovery to on, to no avail.
If device manager never sees the phone, how will I ever be able to install the drivers.
The newflasher, asks to install Gordongate and it doesn't matter if I select yes or no, it still says no usb device.
I am running newflasher from here :
C:\Xperia firmware\F8332_Customized CE1_1315-4550_41.3.A.2.171_R1E
...........but I have tried to run it from the driver folder too.
I am stuck. If I can send it to you, please PM me !

Still no joy.
I am using Windows 10 and when I requested recovery reboot, it does give me a safe boot option ( option 5 I think ), but it also gives me a 'disable driver signing' option too and you can't opt for both.
I have actually tried to boot in both modes and the newflasher does the same thing - see attached screenshot
Not sure what more I can do, to get these drivers on. I have also run in developer mode and set USB device discovery to on, to no avail.
If device manager never sees the phone, how will I ever be able to install the drivers.
The newflasher, asks to install Gordongate and it doesn't matter if I select yes or no, it still says no usb device.
I am running newflasher from here :
C:\Xperia firmware\F8332_Customized CE1_1315-4550_41.3.A.2.171_R1E
...........but I have tried to run it from the driver folder too.
I am stuck. If I can send it to you, please PM me !

Windows10, boot into safe mode, choose 'disable driver signing' in the advanced menu, start the computer and install the Sony drivers. If that doesn't work, answering yes to the first question in Newflasher creates a new drivers zip folder within the Newfalsher folder. Install these drivers, again with driver signing disabled.
When you put the phone into flash mode and plug it in to your PC, what does it say in the device manager?

Thanks for your reply Didgesteve.
I installed the drivers by installing the sa0115adb.inf successfully, but as the phone is continuously cycling through a 'Sony' white screen and blank screen ( frequency 3secs of each ), device manager does not seem to 'see' anything at all.
I also installed the ggsommc.inf driver, when prompted and answered as a 'ye's for the GordonGate option. It didn't give me a failure message, but also didn't state 'installed successfully' as the sa0115adb one did.
I also tried another generic driver called android_winusb.inf to no avail.

Try to use pccompanion sorry if I'm late
PC companion is no good, as the device can't been seen by windows or that app. I was wondering what the Sony uk repair centre used the last time they repaired it. Wish they would again !!
