hi i bought a sony ericsson xperia x10 mini a couple of weeks ago, works fine but i was downloading live wallpapers from android store and there was one called DIY wallpaper and it made the lock screen look like an iphone one. so i installed it and it asked me if i wanted to change my home screen to the new one and i clicked yes, then my screen went black. I can use the drop down bar but if i click on a notifcation in there nothing comes up on the screen. I can see the start up screen and all that and the unlock screen it all works just no home screen. Ive tried reseting by holding lock button and home button for 4 seconds it resarted but it was the same i could only use the drop down bar. Someone help please?

and one more thing, ive connected to computer but i cant get it to do the usb connect because i cant click it on the phone screen.

you can use Update Service but that will delete everything from your phone: mms, sms, contacts, apps, settings

wait for the email, once you get the email, open it, and instead of downloading the attachment it will allow you to install it, voila, done
