Hi i had just flashed my phone back to standard rom with seus, and had rooted and was removing bloatware.
i used ADB Mask Controller for removing files because it was faster, but on the list of non essential apps i chose the ones a i wanted to get rid of, and accidentally clicked "delete all", because i thought it meant the all the files on the list. after that, i rebooted and the phone was dead, seus cant find it or anything, but now a day later when i press the power button, the led on the front blinks red a couple of times...
is it completely dead or is there a chance of getting it up and running again?
try flashtools
you should try bin4ry's flash tools it works most of times, there are a few tutorials around the forum but in general you just have to turn the phone off completely start flash tools select flash, select firmware and connect your phone pressing the back button just like in seus , also try posting problems like this in the general section, i know i'm no mod, but it helps keeping th forum clean , but don't sweat it, i think we all have done this when we started (i know i did XD)
Sorry if i posted it the wrong place, didnt think of other places cuz my bookmark leads me there.
Thanks for replying, but my problem is that i cant turn it on, when i press the power button, the only thing that happens is the led flashes red a few times.
Blinking red means that battery is empty. You can to charge it a bit with AC charger and then try to boot the phone.
yeah, sorry for the scolding , and i think it flashes red a few times because the battery drained, and flashtools is a pc program like seus, you don't have to turn your phone on, you connect it turned off, it is for flashing firmware to your phone and i recommended it because i think the reason your phone died is because of the missing apps, think of flashtools as a much MUCH better program for repairing your phone than the pc companion one or seus
also, here is a link to the main post for flashtools

edit: wiilweer beat me to it , and great port by the way, haven't tried it myself because my xrecovery is not working, but it looks great, specialy the 1000 in benchmark =O, excellent work men, thanks for the froyo port and your work
Thanks ill take a look at it again, hadnt seen the thread u linked now.
its been charging for a few hours and still just blinking... and it was at 100% when i started messing it up
maybe it is a stupid thing but...
have you tried
1) center hardware button + power for a few seconds?
2) disconnecting and reconnecting battery?
in the worst case you can try charging it with an external charger
but this means disassembling your mini:

Happy flashing.
Looks like its working now.
it wouldnt charge the battery, so i took the battery from another x10 mini, and then i flashed it. pc companion could find it and flash, with power from another battery
Dunno why it wouldnt charge the battery, maybe i deleted stuff that had something to do with power management.
Thanks for helping, i was already looking to buy another phone.
Thread belongs in the general section.
i have the very same problem !! ... WHAT did u dooo 2 fix this ?? am hopeless
try charging it and not with usb, if it wont start, try an external power source.
does it blink red when u press power botton?
Just want to share this, I do not create this procedure, and I forgot where I seen this.
1. Open SEUS, one it ask you to disconnect and connect. follow the next procedure.
2. Connect your X10 mini or Pro. Disregard SEUS Procedure
3. Press the Middle+Right+Power Button at the same time.
4. Once Screen Goes Blank, release all button except the middle.
5. now you could Update using SEUS.
Hope that help.

if the procedure above is not working you should try to recharge the battery or use one from another mini charged before trying that cause if battery is drained you won't be able to repair firmware...

what is it doing?
I spent the whole yesterday afternoon and night and this morning trying to figure out what happened to my 'dead' x10 mini.
It has been lying there for over a year since I last tried reviving it.
Long story short, I forgot that I had flashed miniCM kernel on it. For some reason it just entered boot loop with Sony Ericsson logo and restarting and refused to charge. Then tried SEUS and Sony Update supposedly 'flashed' successfully, but I still could not get it to boot nor charge. Flashtool also was used to try a couple of other ROMs, until it dawned upon me I should flash back miniCM ROM since I think I had last used it year ago.
Voila it worked and I pressed BACK several times while the nAa logo came up. CWM was back. I jumped for joy... now I'm charging it and also downloading miniCM10 with gapps.
I really hope this helps - and that it would work for some of you out there in deep frustration. All the best! :good:

Looks like I went ahead of myself.
It managed to stay on in CWM... and I even managed to install update.zip and gapps, but once out of it the phone simply refuses to boot.
SEUS managed to flash stock ROM on it as well. However, even after leaving it hooked to the USB overnight (it only gets warm from this, not wall plug charger), it constantly looping in a flash mode (green LED) and then low batt mode (blinking red LED), it failed to boot up successfully on its own. After flashing the sony ericsson or custom ROM logo, it would go into a boot loop until the battery drains. Upon connecting back to wall charger, the first time it actually flashes real quick split seconds battery indicator of 2 out of 3, then go into the said boot loop again.
I really dunno if the battery's fried or did I do something wrong to hard brick it.
i bought this Defy+ just a couple of days ago and i was trying to get CM7. I struggled to root it but i achieved it. I wiped and did all the procedure before installing it, but i didn't had enough space on my SD, so i rebooted and booted like a brand new defy, going through the Blur config and everything... So i went to Recovery again, but at this time i forgot to do the wiping - which, i guess, led to a brick.
So i managed to get a .sbf to flash it.. What i didn't realized is that the .sbf was a custom, so i guess this ****ed up my phone even more. And so i went on trying to rescue my phone but this time i couldn't complete the flashing process, i wasn't able to perform a downgrade - i guess. After this, i got a non-rootable .sbf and began the flashing. The process got stuck on some message at 0%, then i disconnected the phone.
When i was able to download a stock firmware, from the .sbf thread, the phone wouldn't reboot when RSD asked, it didn't turn on again. So i tried to re-flash it, same .sbf and now i'm stuck with this situation: the pc is not recognizing my phone, i have a black screen - not even the Bootloader error screen is appearing and i'm here, begging, for someone to help me. is it dead? can i get it back?
HELP, PLZ
Is there any juice in the battery left? Does the phone even turn on or did you just drain all of your battery? If so, you have a couple of options - do McGyver or find somebody with the same phone and ask him to charge your battery and then start over. I would strongly recommend you take the second option.

it doesn't turn on, but i guess it does have battery, i can see the led on when i connect it to the pc
Led is always on when connected to the PC - it means nothing. If it doesn't turn on, then your battery's dead. Find someone who has the same phone and can charge it for you.
I think there is no problem, but you flash older firmware, which is probably due to the 7 bootloader does not go up.

This full SBF is a new CG Version**, with Android 2.3.6. You wont be able to go back to your Stock Defy+ Rom, but at least you wont kill it if something goes wrong."
i successfully flashed it but still it won't turn on, i'm almost giving up on this one

If it gets past the red m and just keeps playing the android animation then simply pull battery hold volume - put battery in and keep volume - held when you get the android and the triangle press volume + and - and wipe all, should boot, unfortunately you've just flashed the un root able sbf and are stuck on moto standard
teamwork makes the dream work
nevermind, i flashed other sbf version and it is now working; too bad this version isn't rootable
anyway, many many thanks for all the help

Hi everybody,
I wiped my hox system by error and now it's turned off and don't charge anymore!
Does someone have a solution, there is no more system in my phone and i can't charge it. Last time i saw it on, the recovery was working fine.
Thx in advance
Can you still boot to the bootloader and recovery ?
Of so then tell me exactly wich recovery you have installed !?
Try charging it in recovery.Depending on the recovery you have, you might be able to charge it.
If not, try charging it in fastboot.
I have made you a .rar. Look in attachaments.
Just de-encrypt and start the Charge.bat while the phone is in fastboot.It will slowly charge..
PS: Always scan files with https://www.virustotal.com/en/.
Guys i know you want to help but are you going to post all those things everywhere where i asked the question about what and how......because if so.....then i am out.
Its so annoying to get notifications on threads where i see this everytime.
Ok, sorry.Won't happen again.Just trying to help...
I know that but i get notifications all the time but the OP didn't respond. now info is given wich might confuse the OP even more than it is a help.
Its not ment in a bad way but its too much at one time.
Hey everyone,
after dropping my S3 two days ago which lead to a highly damaged screen (not working anymore) like two days ago, I got a new Arc S from a friend. As I said, the phone is new, and unused.
I've been trying to update to Android 4.3 yesterday, followed some tutorials I found here. I installed the Dark Kernel trough fastboot, then tried to flash the Dark JB rom. But nevermind, this didn't work, so I decided to flash back to stock kernel + rom.
I succeded in doing this, but had the, as I see, common 100% battery problem. Didn't think about one thing. The phone won't charge when the battery is on 100%. So my battery went empty, but whenever I want to charge it, it doesn't because the phone kinda thinks it is on 100%.
Now, I wanted to wipe the battery cache, which isn't possible because I cannot load fastboot mode, and what I've been trying aswell, cannot load flashmode neither.
I don't know what to do to be honest, I hope some of you guys can help me out!
regards
The battery issue can usually be solved by flashing new kernel(s), then returning to the original one.
If you have another Arc (S) available, charge the battery there, then put the battery back and then try to connect. Phone can not be detected due to no power at that moment.

At first, I'm sorry for those awful grammar mistakes I made in my first post
I do not have another SE mobile available to be honest, but I understood what you mean. Thanks for answering me this fast.
I charged the phone for like an hour when it was turned of completely, so now it is up again (idk for how long). Trying to enter fastboot now.
Nearly At the end of every month my my phone gets into some kinda software problem (example : Google has stopped working then process.android has stopped working and some other random **** which is quite annoying) whenever this happens the phone restarts on its own and never turns on,i mean it does but is stuck on loading screen.(note: I dont do anything stupid which might harm my phone. )So i have to flash my phone with spflashtool it.This time when i flashed the phone it didnt turn, i held the button for long but it was of no use, so i thought it might be the low on battery,but when i put it on charge nothing popped up... it wasnt charging. Then I thought it was the battery but my battery wasnt swollen and the day before I flashed it,it was running fine with full charge. , there was no sign of battery problem anytime i used it the consumption was normal.
Please help me fix this problem, and I also want a permanent fix to the software problem too.
Any senior member please help..
TIA
:fingers-crossed:
Update:I flashed the phone with new files but results were the same :'(

same happens to me bro my android one is also dead same problem as yours when i tried with sp flash tool its end up with this error..... scr shot attached
☹
Bro,I flashed it thrice after but it didn't give any errors,but sadly it just wont turn on
If it were permanently bricked then it wouldn't have detected the phone...and bro lemme give you a suggestion,try changing it to firmware upgrade instead of download only.
Thanks for the reply
simmilar issue
same problem pls help in my case when i charge not charging the battery indicator just pops up and out i think its a battery error put in a new battery try to boot up nothing try to go in recovery nothing i have nothing to boot up from i think ill still try using fastboot and/or flashing and reporting back(ima try dead usb flash using spflash tool)
okay flashing works perfectly now i just need for figure out if the problem is with the charging/battery or the phone is dead
Same Problem
Bro, i have run into exact same problem. I even went to gallery and gave them the phone, they said they will charge 1500 as motherboard is dead but after one month they returned to me the phone saying that motherboard is not available. They are taking almost 14 days to return money so i have to visit again on 3rd june. But coming back to problem i have tried flasing with and without battery for 3-4 times. every times it shows success but the phone wont start. Even memory test was all fine. cant figure out what's the problem. i have tried both download only and format+download mode but nothing seems to work, If anyone finds a way to fix the phone please tell ASAP.
Same problem as the OP, mine's bricked as well after it began showing random FCs. Flashed KK and LP firmwares using SP Flash Tool but to no avail. The flash was successful tho but the phone never booted up
I'm kinda stuck in a similar situation. Let's start from the beginning -
When I got my Redmi Note 3 I stopped using my Canvas A1 and vaguely i remember that it was having software issues, rather than fixing it I just kept it away for a lot of months, and vaguely I remember that it just needed some flashing of rom and it would've gotten fixed.
And after all these months i'm need of this phone again. I don't remember much in depth details of the processes involved with it like flashing stuff etc. But I gathered as much knowledge as I could from the docs I had stored as backup & from the internet.
And IMO I think the flashing process was successful, but the screen is not turning on. Only once when I connected it to PC, the charging battery sign appeared(flashing thrice) but that was it. Nothing after that. And whenever I connect it to PC it detects the phone.
For now I've given it to a repair guy but I don't have much hope. He was saying that it could be just software problem, but I don't agree. If a smart person could comment on this thread so that we all could get some benefit out of it, in order to solve the situation or at least in my case I could research on something specific in the meantime.
