It gave me then the same problem as it does now
Now it loops with the SE logo (last time at least i had CW installed)
I have tried a SEUS but it gives me the "software is up to date" so i can't do a repair like i did last time
Any ideas???

(Sony Ericsson X10mini E10i)

1. Did you put the correct X10 Mini drivers into the drivers folder? By default it's running on the X10 drivers, although when you connect the device first time, it will ask for your exact device.
2. Try flashing the stock 2.1 firmware for your X10 Mini (not sure where to find X10 Mini stock firmwares, but they shouldn't be too hard to find). Generally, that can completely restore the software condition back to when it came out of a factory or you just updated it to 2.1

You can only flash a custom kernel when the bootloader is unlocked. For instructions on unlocking the bootloader, look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1254087
If your phone also refuses to boot, flash the stock firmware for the Xperia X10 via Flashtool

thank u Panzerfaust.
the tip with bootloader unlocking was right. perfect

Dachte ich hätte den schon unlocked, dem war aber nicht so!
Vorher großes R--- jetzt ein kleines r--- und es läuft

I also get this, no matter what Rom I try to flash with.

How do you unlock the boatloader, when one of the steps is to flash with the azuru rom? I try to do the downgrade kernel with flashtool, and I get the above message.

I have flashed and bootloader-unlocked 7 xperias before.Indians as well as AT&T ones without a problem.
Today my friend gave me another one for updating.It was on 1.6.Lucklily it was bought in India itself so i used PC companion to update to 2.3.3.
Was able to root as well as install xrecovery via flashtool.
Than when i tried to unlock bootloader the qsd8250_semc.cmd file ran but gave an error something like cant find userdate partition or something.

than tried to flash doomlords bootmanager...and got the same error!!
didnt find a solution yet

Mine is a Rogers X10a. I had it running a generic 2.3.3 rom, and rooted.
Worked great for about a month, then started experiencing random reboots.

Tried to install the Wolf custom gaming rom, without unlocking the bootloader (because I didn't read first), and that's where my main issues started.

So right now, is the bootloader unlocked or is it still locked? If it's locked, see the link I posted above and follow the instructions.
You flash ROMs through recovery (generally xRecovery or CWM-based recovery for some ROMs), not through the flashtool. The flashtool is only for flashing things like kernel and firmware generally.

Yes bootloader is locked.
Here is the s1tool output:
==============
RUNNING S1_EROM VER "R8A013"
SOFTWARE AID: 0001
LOADER AID: 0001
FLASH ID: "002C/00B3"
LOADER VERSION: "R4A024"

MINOR ERROR [ MISC_CLASS: MISC_ERROR, TA_set_config_failed ]
Elapsed:8 secs.
===============

And I cannot unlock the bootloader from the steps in the link you mention.

The first step is: flash the azuzu kernel downgrade ftf with flashtool

I cannot, because I get the error " ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted"

This is where I am stuck.
