What method of hard resetting did you try?
If hard reset does not work get to the bootloader screen (multicolored) by holding down camera button and preset reset button.
You can then reflash your rom - does not have to be activesynced to do this - as long as you have a small 'usb' on bottom left of bootloader screen when connected to pc it should work.
I guess this is the rom thats already on your device ftp://[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/o2/Xda_Minis_Upgrade_v2.21.4.101.exe

whats the boot loader screen, all the phone loads upto is the bit before windows mobile shows when you first turn it on

Turn phone off - then press camera button and hold - press power on button whilst still holding camera button. Bootloader screen should come up (multicolored)

Just download the rom mentioned above - connect device to computer (does not have to activesynced) and run the rom intaller and the rom will install.

The rom install usually takes 10 mins or so - dont worry it usually stalls a while around the 70-80% mark a while - just wait and be patient until its 100%. It will return to factory condition so all your data will be lost i am afraid. If you have synced with outlook before your pim info can be restored from there.

i was only jsut settin it back up anyway and it didnt work just now the update but it dont the error revoery adn its working again done 75 so far

Just tried to upgrade my XDA mini to this new ROM (v2.21.4.101). Everything seemed to be going swimmingly - I installed the ROM and the thing booted up ok. I then did a soft reset before all the o2 stuff installed. I then went to do a restore (having previously backed up using spb backup) and it almost completed but then the mini s rebooted itself again.
Ever since, it will only get as far as a page which has most of the bar at the top of the screen (the signal strength icon, battery strength and GPRS indicator are all there), but not the start button. Underneath that is just a blue screen with the Windows Mobile logo. The backlight will come on if I press any of the buttons but otherwise it is not responding.
I've tried holding down the camera button and pressing the on/off button and also camera button and the reset button, but neither of them seem to do anything.
I've tried reinstalling the rom from the PC but it says it can't find my device.
Rather bizarrely, if I call myself from another phone, the device rings and says incoming call, so the thing obviously isn't totally dead.
What can I do to sort this out?
Cheers!

Vario Crashed on T-Mobile load screen on initial startup, Need to get my conatcts.

Hi guys,
Was hoping somebody here can help.
Yesterday I was making a call using my bluetooth headset. At the end of the call I pressed the usual end talk button but for some reason it said I was still connected, the phone had crashed at this screen.
I therefore decided to restart the device using the button on the bottom of the phone.
Now it hangs on the T-mobile load screen. It displays what I presume is the firmware revision, the numbers disppear then it locks showing the white T-mobile splash screen and doesn't get any further.
T-mobile are going to replace the phone but I really need to get my contacts off the phone. I know I should of done a backup but you know what its like
Has anybody got any suggestions how I can get the contacts off the handset??
I presume if I do a full reset I'll loose everything.
I have tried removing battery and leaving off for a few hours / let it run flat / reboot with usb and mains connection while holding reset etc etc.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

i kinda have the same problem whith my spv but i dont care about contacts..., and im sorry you cant get them back unless you have saved them to sd card/backup typen on wii since christmas yehaa!

t mobile vario crashing

this will be my 4th fone from t mobile, but unfortunatley is now out of waranty,,,everything was fine and working ok til last week, i used the tomtom on it and left it in the car for a few days, took it out and it wont work at all now..
it switches on and lads up, but as it loads the screen has little lines on the boot up screen , then it shows the windoes screen then i get the main screen,,
as soon as i select a program to use the screen frezes and fades away
and i cant do anything with it unless i remove the battery,,,
can anyone help????
many thanks

this can be either a hardware or software problem.if its a hardware problem you cant do anything about it except getting it fixed.if its a software problem try flashing another ROM or try a hard reset

put new rom in and reset it,,,still the same...
could it be the procesor???

Does anyone have a dodgy soft reset button on their xperia x1???

I have an Xperia X1 fully security and country unlocked and no hardspl running on it but it seems if i press the soft reset button under the battery cover, instead of the phone restarting, it stays running but the screen goes black but stays lit up. anyone else ever had this problem?

Anyone? or am I the only one?

it takes some time to reset w8 at the black screen for a minute
but if its not working u should try reflash it with a diff rom

Ive tried flashing different rom, it was originally o2 branded R2A and it was the same then, flashed to generic_uk R3A and still the same. I used to own an xperia x1 before and whenever I pressed the soft reset button, it reset straight away. This phone however is not resetting at all. Screen just goes black and backlight stays lit. Please anyone help me! Im frustrated now!

well I must say, I may be new here but im not new to windows mobile, disappointed that only one person managed to respond to my question. thanks goes to you souljaboy.

Turns out is is a hardware fault according to SE but thanks for nothing everyone!

[Q] xperia x2 died trying to update the software with seus

xperia x2 died trying to update the software with seus
1 - no longer recognized by the pc by pressing (- volume and power)
2 - when power is pressed, the phone vibrates but does not start
anyone knows how to take him??
There is no way to flash from sd memory?

D e t a i l s ..........
We need DETAILS !
Did it happen during Download or after it finished download AND did the flashing start at all and if so HOW long (the bar) into the flash? Middle, End...etc.!
You have to take out the battery and then again press Volume DOWN and then the Power Button and HOLD both.... for at least 10-12 seconds for me, and after that the white screen with se logo should come up.
If this does not work, try again and again until it does. But always, REMOVE the Battery before doing it again.
By the way, what happens when you just start the phone?

exactly the same thing happend to me earlier this summer
went to se service center but they couldnt fix it so they sent it to se
they couldnt even fix it so i got a new device

same here...except it didn't even let me update, showed some error and now i can't turn it on. it vibrates when pressing power or reset button and that's about it.
now to make things worse i live in canada and bc X2 never even got released here I can't send it to service centre
how much do i hate SE?????????????????
