Hi, I think I may have bricked or softbricked my xperia mini (excuse my noob)

when installing froyobread I forgot to do the factory reset (and back up) and went straight to rebooting however ever since then I've had this problem:

www youtube com/watch?v=jPQIS19ndRY (sorry not allowed to post links yet and not sure what this is called, bootloop?)

For some reason pressing the back button repeated doesn't get me to xrecovery, (the first time I did it I went thru flash tool which I can no longer do because I cant turn my phone on and therefore I can't enable debugging)


This also prevents me from connecting to PCC

What I tried:

tutorial step 6 ...but its been hours and so far that doesnt not seem to be working either. This is what comes up when I tried

please help

You don't need USB Debugging to use Flashtool. Turn your phone off (take off battery if you have to), plug the USB cable in your PC, then press and hold volume down button and plug the microUSB into the phone. You'll be in flashmode.
If you can't use flashtool anyway, repair with PC Companion.

and it was that simple…

thank you so much! Now time for attempt #2
