Hi all
I have a question
After installing a custom rom via xrec does SUES still work to flash my phone to the stock 2.1 and I presume that xrec will be gone then?
This is the only thing I want to know before flasshing any custom roms
Thanks in advance

you can go back and yes you'll have unrooted software without xrec

Yes, flashing via SEUS will reset your phone to SE stock rom and xrecovery will be gone.
and i also beleive SEUS will fix the white SE logo for custom roms i know it will for a removed framework-res.apk (one bad experience with that made it happen)

you can use the flashtool to flash a generic ROM then use seus to go to 2.3.3.
That is what I did.

No, downgrade to 2.1 and root, install recovery then flash pre-rooted roms

Do I need to write this in huge black letters?
xRECOVERY CANNOT FLASH KERNELS AND BASEBANDS.
I am sorry but you are out of luck here,
you need to use FlashTool or SEUS or PC Companion to update your phone
and this thread should be closed.
Good luck!

Sad I thought recovery could flash kernels as we used to install custom kernels on 2.2 roms with the help of recovery...
I just installed a kernel using xrecovery. It just depends on how the kernel has been provided to you.
Baseband, as far as I know, is flashtool only!
Hi if anyone has a solution to my question please dont hesitate to reply, my problem is that I tried to install a custom rom on a friends mimmi through xrecovery but the recovery keeps saying ''bad error rom not installed'' I have also succesfully unlocked bootloader and installed nAa 11 and tried to flash the rom but with no luck same error pops up i'm certain its not just a download error from the roms cause I use the same roms on my phone perfectly. I really wana get a custom rom on my friend's phone please any1 what could it be a bug or not? I can't flash anything not even a hotfix.

Have you tried redoownloading the zip file ? Just in case it is broken...
Otherwise, if you already flash nAa-11 kernel, you won't have any problems I think...

is your recovery tool xrecovery or cwm recovery. you'll be needing cwm based recovery but i believe it is included in the kernel. or you could have downloaded the wrong rom zipfile.

Hello, I'm using nAa kernel v011 & MiniCM 2.2.0, I wanted to revert back to stock 2.1, I tried SEUS and seus say my phone has the latest update installed, and there is just an exit button, can some1 help me? I tried flashing stock kernel and use SEUS but still ended with the same result

It is always suggested to take a backup of stock rom before installing any custom rom..have you taken any backups?
I did not make a backup when I flashed custom roms because I was a complete noob and I just flash a custom rom. Btw thanks for your reply.
Sent from my E10i using XDA
Download any rom for ur device which completely works with stock kernel....
Then 1st do necesary wipes
Install custom rom
Flash stoock kernel...
Boot. Properly
And then try with pc companion or SEUS
But if I'm using a custom kernel and if I flash a rom that is compatible with stock kernel wont recovery will say incompatible kernel found? I've tried that before.
Sent from my E10i using XDA
Dude I mean a rom which is compatible wit both stock kernel and custom kernel
Well then can you tell me which rom is compatible with both kernel please? Thank you

u have already installed naa kernel, meaning that you have unlocked bootloader. this article said that you can update through SEUS if you have unlocked the bootloader. i'm not experienced with x10mp bootloader issue before this but my gtab7 experienced bootloader problem after unlocked,flash the stock bootloader and solved the problem.
but you said that you have flash the stock kernel and still cant install through seus. why dont you try to reinstall seus,mybe something wrong with it. and btw,did you manage to flash stock kernel successfully?

I have na11 kernel and minicm7 2.2.1 custom rom.To flash naA 12 do I need to first go back to stock rom ? Or I can flash the kernel with flashtool on minicm7 custom rom.

It's an upgrade to your current kernel, it should just flash fine and your rom should keep working.

Is it possible to update the kernel through the phone or we need a computer to do it?

Sure dude? Can't we upgrade replacing the ftf somewhere with shell and modifying some init config file, as we do on linux?
If not, i wonder why the MiniCM notification has the download option.

MiniCM is the ROM, not the kernel, If you have an official CM-ROM on your phone you can get OTA updates for that, but that doesn't include the kernel of your phone.
The main reason you can't update kernels without a computer is because your phone has to be in flash-mode in order to reach the parts where the kernel and loader are stored, and if your phone is in flashmode, you can't access it manually to edit anything.

Thanks. Didnt know the flashmode thing.
By the way, i know minicm is the rom, but the minicm notification has both rom and kernel (nAa kernel) update notication. It is a cm based rom.

Yes, i know minicm is cm-based, but it's an 'unofficial' port, so i'm not sure if you actually get Over-The-Air updates (where the relevant parts of the ROM are updated on the fly), or just notifications that updates are available and that you can download them from somewhere, or if you even get notifications, i haven't used it long enough to find out
I dowloaded the kernel with the notification to sd... But need flashtool anyway. Maybe it is for quick flash because don't have to visit xda thread.
Thanks for answers
that does make it a bit easier i suppose anyway, you're welcome
It is actually possible to flash kernels without a PC. It just hasn't been coded into our CWM and the correct way hasn't yet been found/added for the Mini/MiniPro. It is possible but you'd need a JTAG as you'd probably kill the phone quite a few times!
