am i able to go from gingerblur to a rom on gingerbread? without having to update to gingerbread because i don't completely know how to do that from the root. but is it possible to just flash a new rom with system recovery?
You need to be on gingerbread with cwm and unlocked bootloader or you will trash your phone.

U need to unlock your bootloader if u have not already and then u need the cwm recovery for unlocked bootloader and u will be all set
Hi,
I want to unlock the bootloader, but in the n00b guide everything is for 2.3.4
I am in 2.2.2 (4.2.11.retail.en.FR) and I tried to update in the settings but it told me that my device is updated.
So, how can i update to 2.3.4? I want to updated with the Stock Gingerbread Rom via fastboot. But i need to have the bootloader unlocked....
How can I do it?
Thank you
You should be able to flash any sbf. Seeing as how the only way you brick is by going backwards. Look on that forum again and there is a link to a seperate website which will tell you how to do it on either version.

How do I go to SE stock rom for Xperia Mini Pro? I already on custom rom+custom kernel and unlocked bootloader through the testpoint way. Somebody can guide me how to go back to SE stock rom? If have easy way also better..Please help me, thanks
WotanServer or get original firmware files and use Flashtool.
Dont need to relock bootloader?
First get back to stock, then reload bootloader if you want. Just do not update while having unlocked bootloader.

Use WontanServer to go back to stock ROM and Kernel. And if you want to relock your bootloader, use Flashtool

Tqvm all for help..im really appreciate it
I lost my root when i upgraded to .62.. How to I root it now?? theres this thread but I dont know how to use it..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560613
The easiest way is downgrade to 0.42 with wotanserver, root your phone with doomlords method, and then update OTA (over the air) that is to update directly from your phone not using your pc.Also there is this method.
if you are on stock rom .62 and have unlocked bootloader
the best way is flashing a custom kernel, like bbooff kernel.
This is stock kernel .62 only added CWM and root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161
next way is flash back stock rom .42 via flashtool and stock rom (you have to download it)
or use www.WotanServer.com ( it is free for SE Users ) flash back to .42 or .58 then root and then try update from your handy to .62 use update center and option update over wlan
------------
i used flashtool and stockrom .42. rooted with superoneclick and then updated via update center ( using wlan) to .62. and root was still there
and now i´m using bbooff kernel, because CWM is installed in kernel and not in system (rom) partition and it works with stock rom or hybrom, not tested any other custom roms right now.

Cause I still have 1,5y of warranty and as I unlocked the BL the warranty doesnt covers damage.
Btw,what's the procedure to do with SEUS?
flash this with flashtool
http://www.mediafire.com/?g1b5j712ajx4yjd
it relocks the bootloader if you unlocked it via the official SE method
you can re-unlock it again after that
and then lock it again
etc
Well,I Unlocked it Via Flashtool,During the process the program opened me a webpage which was from sony ericsonn that gave me a code to unlock the bootloader,it was the official page...
yes thats the official method.

What was the result brother. Your reply is very valuable for many users. Are you able to update the phone using SEUS ?

you can use SEUS, PC Companion, Flashtool.
And yes.
AFAIK warranty is void once you unlock bootloader due to deletion of a partition in which you loose DRM keys needed by some apps. I think DRM keys are lost forever and that is how then know your warranty is void
Sony Update service won't let unlocked bootloader devices to update/restock.. It says i had a modified software.. I used sony official method.. And relock via flashtool, and use Sony update service again.. It restock my phone.. But i got different region.. (CE)
