New debrand method for mini - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

The following is just a product of assumption and it is NOT tested. It may brick your phone
Since the last update of SEUS, Sony Ericsson made it almost impossible to unbrand the X10 mini (with the blob_fs file changing method).
However SaintyUK has given us a nice guide about debranding the X10 mini pro here
So let's assume it is working for the X10 mini. The only different thing we need is a new "build.prop" file (UK Generic from a X10 mini)!
See SaintyUK's post for instructions, if anyone is willing to try it.
*EDIT* I have uploaded a different build.prop with changed values in the version of the FW. This might work.
*EDIT2* From the latest results of the members that have tried SaintyUK's method with the attached build.prop files, it seems that it is actually working.
PS:All credits to SaintyUK for his great guide.
DISCLAIMER:MEMBERS HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THIS METHOD IS ACTUALLY WORKING BUT I HAVEN'T AND THEREFORE I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE, IN ANY WAY, FOR BRICKED PHONES.

This method worked for me. But if your current FW version is not 1.2.A.1.174, dont't use the attached file directly!

A little more info, could be quite usefull!
You said "don't use the attached file directly. You mean that in a mini with FW version 1.1.A.0.8 this build.prop (1.2.A.1.174) is not going to work?
But in a branded 1.2.A.1.174 it should work right?

Good on you DaRk_dOg

Thank you sir,
But we would be even better if we could finaly solve it!
If what ra3al said is true then we might need the build.prop from 1.1.A.0.8
But someone must confirm it first. I cannot confirm it myself because i've already debrand my mini the old fashion way (blob_fs) long time ago

---

At least it worked for ra3al, thats great as even it helps one person thats good
We maybe able to edit the the values in the file. Thats what I did for the X10 Mini Pro. I found the CDF number (post 2 of my thread) and inserted it into the file!

Dosn't work... The original build.prop gets restored after reboot. Used root explorer.. Also somewhere in the forum there is a target-World build.prop

Ok i've edited the build.prop with the value for E10i Generic UK (1237-0392). Also this build.prop is from a E10i 1.1.A.0.8
Hope this will work.

It was a root explorer issye. Working with latest versuon. Place build.prop in system then repair through seus.

The first build.prop? Or the one i added today?
Could you also tell me your FW version?

---

so, which build.prop should I use to debrand my x10 mini? Buildprop11A08BrandedE10i.zip or E10i_build.prop_UK_Generic.zip?
my current version is:
Phone Software Version:
1235-3408_1.1.A.0.8
GENERIC - user
File System Version:
WORLD-1-8_1.1.A.0.8
Thanks.

---

So placing this file in the folder and then updating will be unbranded?

---

Yes thats correct SEUS will hopefully debrand. Try the 'E10i_build.prop_UK_Generic.rar' file first if not try the other file (see first post)

---

Thanks it worked... Now i'm 1.2.A.1.174

---

It works using any build.prop with file system version World-1.8-....

e10a
Would it work with E10a version.
Also, if it's not much asking, could someone write a guide for the mini?
Thank you devs very much...you rock!

You cannot use any of the build.prop attached, as they only work for E10i. On the other hand if you find a build.prop of an E10a Generic UK it could work.

You mean't E10a right DaRk_dOg?

Yeap! I'm terribly sorry, made the correction!

---

But it MUST be from UK???
I dont think we would be able to get a E10a build.prop from there...
And the following question would be...does somebody have a E10a generic build.prop????????
