To all the developers and members of XDA,
I bought an X10mini and found out that the firmware version is 2.1.1.A.0.16 , can i flash it to MiniCM6 2.2 ROM ? the baseband is M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 but the firmware is not 2.1.1.A.0.6..
I tried to to reinstall the ROM using PC companion and the version that i get is still 0.16 and not 0.6 .
I wonder if anyone here have the version same as mine and can i flash it to custom ROM ? i search throughout the treads and did not found any 2.1.1.A.0.16 available, is this the latest version or because the version is differ because of countries?
Any helps will be well-appreciated, thanks !
This is because you have the 2011 X10 Mini. Everything should work normally.
You have a previous FW, if you want to flash without fear, flash to the new FW and them flash it to MiniCM6 2.2 ROM.
You can use WotanClient, sign in the site of the program, it is free, and very easy flash with this program, and you can downgrade or upgrade your phone.
ok, Thank you for the information !
the important things are baseband and kernel, because when you upgrade to 2.2 or 2.3 the stock firmware will be replaced.
but before flashing with any rom kindly make a backup

I've seen many roms uploaded here but do not know if they would work on my X10.
I have rooted it. Busybox and Xrecovery installed..
Firmware version : 2.1 update 1
baseband version : 2.0.46
Kernal version : 2.6.29
Build number : 2.0.A.504
I'm new to all of this so any help would be appreciated
I wanted to install this.. would it work on mine?

I think that ROM requires the 2.0.2.A.0.24 build number. You can flash the build firmware using flashtool. And then you can install this ROM with xRecovery I believe.
I've heard you can lose your 3g conenction, is this true? I'm on o2 in the UK.. does this matter?
You can lose your signals if you don't flash the correct baseband I believe.
ALWAYS make a backup of your original ROM before installing a new one, so that if any problem occurs or if youre unsatisfied with the ROM, you can revert back to the old one.
Hi,
I got my X10 a few days ago and loving it. I'm used to flashing and custom firmwares as have owned a HTC Magic and also a ZTE Blade, but it seems it works slightly differently for the X10 (unless i am confused). So my questions are below:
1) If my phone and install xrecovery, when Sony releases the 2.3 update will it prevent me from updating?
2) Does anyone who has rooted and installing custom firmware even plan on using the sony software to update to 2.3? I assume that people will just rip the firmware and upload it here to install?
3) I am confused about the baseband, on the previous 2 phones i have installed custom firmwares it seems the firmware and the baseband are totally different entities, but it seems that when you flash some firmwares (i.e. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942477) it flashes the baseband as well. Am i correct?
4) If the baseband flash was to fail, would that result in a brick?
Now I have read some guides and started thinking about installing custom firmwares. I want to stay on the official firmware's but want stuff like JIT etc... Can someone just check though the steps below to see if I have it planned
My current (stock and unrooted) phone is:
Kernel version: 2.6.29 ([email protected] #1)
Model number: X10i
Android version (assume this is same as Firmware version): 2.1-update1
Baseband version: 2.1.54
Build number: 2.1.A.0.435
So I was planning on performing the following steps:
1) Root using SuperOneClick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906248) It says it is compatible with 2.1.A.0.43
2) Download BUSYBOX from market and install
3) Download xRecovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571 and install using Automatic Installation
4) Download 2.1.A.0.435 Global Generic ROM (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936462)
However I am now confused on what to do with that rom. I have searched and tried to understand the last few days on where to use Flash tools, but I can't seem to understand? I am just used to booting into recovery and wiping cache etc.. and flashing the firmware, but can't seem to understand the guides.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Most of what you want to do can be done with the newest beta flashtool which can root, optimize, install busybox, superuser, xrecovery, and even has a build.prop editor as well as being able to backup the apps and uninstall/install apks.
I think that you are correct that once a GB release is made available for each major geographical area it will end up here and installable via flashtool.
BB are exactly as you say. SE seems to release a lot of them to accommodate different carriers requests for variations in sms, mms messages as well as HSDPA or 3G only. Most of the firmwares here include a bb that was released with the it. Mismatched bb to firmware is a issue, causing problems and some combos seem possibly fatal but generally speaking its hard to kill the X10 unless the battery dies during flash or the usb port is loose.

i was trying to installe android 2.3.5 but i found its post the i cant unless i have
Only 2.1.1.A.0.6 or 2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware is that the orignal Rom the device came with ?
If you go into 'settings' then 'about phone' you will see the phones baseband version. If it ends in 15 it is most likely one of the two firmwares you mention. If you try to install a rom dependant on these firmwares and you don't have it you will temporarily brick your phone. (Requiring the use of the Sony Ericcson Update Service to hopefully restore the phone to working order).
It is possible your phone has the firmware already installed but you need to check! Some network providers have been very slow at releasing them. If you manage to find the firmware on the web (make sure it is the correct language and layout for your locale - AND the correct phone) then you need to use a flashing utility to install it, I use 'flashtool' as it can root the phone and install xrecovery, but you must be sure you read the documentation and follow the proceedure.
Once you have xrecovery and the phone is rooted the magic can begin..
Be careful. Its very easy to render your phone bricked (as in the phone is as useful as a brick!). No one here can take responsibility for the advice given or your actions.

my phone android version 2.2.1
baseband version M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
KERNAL VERSION 2.6.29 [email protected]#1
MOD VERSION FROYO MINICM/CMV6 HYBRID BY SLADE87 AND OWAIN 94
BUILD NUMBER V5.01 FINAL RELEASE
SO CAN I INSTALL SONYBREAD WHICH requires 2.1.1.A.0.6 or 2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware
so do i have it????
Not anymore, but if you do Factory reset, yes you have
no it will not cuz the factory ROM is not exsist
In my understanding the firmware doesn't change when you install a custom rom and (to me) they are two different entities. So yes, in my view you should be able to flash sonybread but I haven't used it myself but I have other gingerbread ports without a problem
Once your on the correct baseband you can change between roms without having to flash via the pc/flashtool.
If you get into bootloops then you can try restoring an xrecovery/cwm recovery or failing that reflashing with seus/flashtool.

Hi there. I am advised to with this rom and nAa 11 (kernel). I see it's good advice since there is a lot of people enjoying this rom. However today when i checked rom installation requirements i noticed somethig.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415026
They say that phone need to have:
Requirements:
Latest 2.1.1.A.0.6/2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware / Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
But my phone is:
firmware 2.0.A.0.504 and baseband is
M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-534040056
Am i going to get in to trouble if i upload this rom anyway?
Thanks in advance
1. try updating with flash tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986692 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455
a good guide for flashtool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
2. alternately download pc companion: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...ject/pccompanion/xperiax10minipro?cc=ph&lc=en
and update you phone software.
3. use seus but i cant find the link to download.
because if you dont it wont work and as they always say "I wont be held responsible if you brick you phone"
You have to use the correct firmware and baseband. Otherwise will have problems.
I flash a few roms with the wrong baseband and had a lots of problems of stability.
Now I have MiniCM7-2.1.9, with nAa-11 kernel and works perfect.
Ok thanks. I'll try to find that firmware version and flash it before i continue with kernel and rom. Do you have any link to where i could find these firmware versions?

Or search in the "XPERIA X10 Mini Pro Android Development " area.
Hello I am trying to downgrade an Xperia X10i to Android 2.2 or 2.1 to use some cellphone network unlocking software. I am having a problem flashing a rom but I think it's because I need to flash a compatible baseband. I've searched XDA and there are a list of files but none of the links are working unfortunately - would anyone be able to link to baseband: 2.1.55 or 2.1.54 please for the X10i? I also need the 2.6.29 kernal then hopefully I'll be able to flash a 2.1/2/2 rom successfully.
Cheers.
