Help!!! My Xperia x10 mini pro cable failed during the update..

While the update is installing already, the cable got moved accidentally; therefore

disconnecting the phone. Right now, my phone won't even turn on!

It only shows an image of a phone with an exclamation point.

Please somebody help me. I need my phone...............

you can try to repair it using either (you should try update service)

PC Companion use this link

http://dl-www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/937/620/1313998014/Sony_Ericsson_PC_Companion_2.01.217...

or Update Service

http://dl-www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1315209439/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.9.6.exe

to repair your phone, know that you will lose your apps, contacts, etc

My PC companion says while preparing computer for update:

"Your IP Address is not allowed to update/Repair brown phone.

the other option that will work for sure is

using FlashTool

how..?? can you tell me more about that process using flashtool?

[uliwooly-wooly]

get the Flashtool From here

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746

Install it and you will see  5 folders

                                   Custom

                                   Drivers

                                   Firmwares

                                   Loaders

                                   X10Flasher_lib

take the firmware to the  "Firmwares" folder

click on X10FlashTool (Application)

click on Falsh

Press Ok

it will ask you to connect your phone on Flashmode (turn off your phone, press the back button, then connect the USB) press OK

This is an step by step guide

I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG!!!

----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------OPTION 1 - Install *.ftf files1. Install Flashtool 2. Copy the *.ftf files that you `ve downloaded earlier to firmwares folder from Flashtool.3. Click "Flash" button from flashtool and select the *.ftf file firmware and click "OK"4. Relax and wait a while. When the proccess is completed you will get a popup message (don`t click on that!!!)

5.a. Unplug your USB cable from the PC

b. Power off your phone and plug the USB into the phone
c. Press back button and keep your finger on button
d. Plug USB cable into your PC whilst holding down the back button on your phone
e. A green LED will appear
f. The process will automatically detect your phone and start flashing

g. When "Found at USB/........" appear on flash tool you may release"back button", sit down, relaxand wait.

Hope this is helpful to you

6. IF the "Start Flashing" message appear everything`s ok if not...repeat. Sitdown and relax (again )

7. When last message appear unplug/plug USB cable

8. DONNE

Don't panic YET .... Download SE Update Service from the link provided by Uli, use that to do a Software Repair, that should fix the problem.

When I'm on the part that prompts me to plug the phone while pressing the back key, it's not getting detected.
