Flashed and E10a with E10i firmware, how get E10a firmware back?

Hey people, I've flashed my X10 mini(E10a) with a E10i firmware, and I've tried to get back with the E10a but the PC Companion says that its not possible to update, and SEUS says that I have the newer version.

What I do?

Thanks!

Thank you for the help!

To flash to the E10i firmware, I used these steps, and worked pretty well, but to get back with the E10a I can't, because it doesn't even download the files, just verify the phone(after connect to the USB holding the back button) and says that I have the last update, but don't give me the option to Repair or Update the phone again, just say that I have the last update, and the only option that I have its to exit.

Do these two things then to try.

First turn off the phone and leave it for 5 minutes whilst it is off uninstall SEUS from your PC.

Try to uninstall it from C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service, there is an uninstall application located in it, if it wont work do it from the normal Control Panel, Programs Feature.

After you have uninstalled it restart your PC and make sure the C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service folder is empty, if it still exists and isn't fully empty delete all remaining folders in it.

No go to SE website and download SEUS again and install it, restart your PC.

Now try running the SEUS again and connect the phone to it in the normal way when told to do so, see if you now get the option to repair or reinstall.

The problem could be linked to the phone being cross flashed, this may work, its worth a try, but don't forget you need to replace the files as in the previous process if it does.

Sorry forgot to mention in case you have not done it back up all your 3rd part downloaded apps to your SD card or PC or both as updating Android

will wipe all your installed apps and Market does not always remember them all, so you may well lose them if you back them up you will not lose them but will have to reinstall all of them again.

Ohh...now its getting better LOL

I just don't know why SEUS don't give me the option to repair. If that option appeared, I would just redo the steps that I did to flash for the E10i firmware.

Is there any method to reflash my stock firmware?

But mine is taking 60s or more to get a lock, and before, in a cold start, it got locked on 10~20s. I think that's not normal.

Sixty seconds is perfectly normal.You worry too much!

LOL

But before in the SAME place the time was 10~20s.

And sometimes the phone restarts itself. A half hour ago I was seeing a video that I recorded and the phone restarted.
