take the battery SIM and sd card out, press and hold the power button for few seconds -> only place the battery back on and try to turn it back on

if it doesn't you can repair your phone with Update Service but it will delete sms, mms, call logs, apps, settings and contacts

Update Service (SEUS)

You can always use Flashtool

Xperia Mini Pro 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.42)

for future reference

Make sure you backup everything

Settings -> privacy -> Back up my data and Automatic restore should be selected

and also

Use one of these links to download the

Backup & Restore app

How to install it

You need to

go to settings -> applications -> check unknown sources

download IO File Manager

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.openintents.filemanager&feature=search_result

download the backup & restore app, transfer it to your SD card, use OI file manager to find it -> tap on it -> install it

Contacts

just to play it safe sync your contacts w/ google if you haven't already

open your phonebook

press MENU button -> tap on Send Contacts -> select all -> send it to your email

on your computer

-> download the file -> go to your gmail -> click on contacts -> click on more actions -> on the drop down menu click on "import" -> choose the file -> and click import

Apps

Don't worry so much about backing up your apps

on your computer go to

market.android.com -> log in -> click on My Library -> and send all your apps to your phone

SMS/MMS

if you don't want to use the backup & restore app then

Install "backup SMS" to back up your SMS and MMS to your Gmail

or your SMS use

"backup & restore SMS"

it shouldn't be an issue, maybe there was a bug with the last update but I'm glad its fixed now

Amm oh wait. When i entered my sim card it hangs again sir. Awww!

Re: My Xperia Mini Pro hangs during turn on.

uliwooly-wooly — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 07:47:18 GMT

ok, so the issue is the SIM card, its probably faulty or its too old or it just stopped working, to be certain, can you borrow another SIM card to test it

Re: My Xperia Mini Pro hangs during turn on.

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 08:21:25 GMT

I just bought another sim but nothing good happens. Luckily when i turned back my old sim the phone works. Do u think i do need to update my phone using SEUS. I have this build number 4.0.2.A.0.58 ?

uliwooly-wooly — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 08:27:40 GMT

so it only happens with the new SIM card? if so then its the SIM card (its faulty)

Re: My Xperia Mini Pro hangs during turn on.

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 08:32:37 GMT

Nope. I think there's something wrong with my phone sir. Both sim cards has the same result however luckily my phone starts again with the old one. This happened to me three times

Re: My Xperia Mini Pro hangs during turn on.

uliwooly-wooly — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 08:37:07 GMT

so it only works with the old SIM card? how odd, and you already repaired it with update service?

Re: My Xperia Mini Pro hangs during turn on.

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 08:43:36 GMT

I'll try now. Hopefully it wil fix the problem. *fingers crossed*

if it doesn't then you might have to send it in, contact your network, you might have to take it to them, or they might say contact SE
