Hey everyone,
Do anyone have the stock kernel in a zip format which i can use to flash? Many thanks in advance
To return back to stock kernel you just need the right chargemon file..it dipends on which recovery are you using..pay attention cause if you flash the wrong chargemon you will break your recovery and you need to reflash original firmware with flashtool..anyway you can find chargemon file for stock kernel in doomlord custok kernel thread..take a look..i can't give you a direct link cause i'm in mobile..but you can easily find it yourself! if you find it,don't forget that this is for freexperia recovery only..so don't flash if you are on xrecovery! Hope this help

Installing FreeXperia recovery from Flashtool will do the trick

Hello all. I decided to install Hybrom on my Xperia mini pro (sk17i) but i'm little confused at the moment and don't know what to do. I have installed CM 7.2.0 rom with FreeXperia kernel. If i want to install the Hybrom, i just need to flash stock firmware via flashtool, install Clockwork once again, then install some custom kernel like Rage and then install the rom? Or do something else? And do i need to relock the bootloader to flash stock firmware?
Install stock firmware, install kernel, install ROM. That's all. No relock needed. Custom kernel already includes Recovery so it is not needed.

And when i flash firmware, wipe is automatically done so i don't need to do it manually?

Flashing stock firmware - if you choose it in Flashtool, then yes.
Custom - no, you have to do it yourself before installing the ROM.

Thank you, I really appreciate your answer, but I have one last question. Does the firmware already include rom and kernel, or rom only? And do I have to install newer baseband to it to make the custom rom work?

Stock firmwares in .ftf file already include ROM and kernel both.
Most custom ROMs have their own custom kernel that you need to install yourself. Sometimes it is written in the topic as separate download link, sometimes it is included inside the .zip file, then you need to extract it and flash via fastboot. Check my tutorial, if you need help with it.
Baseband will depend on the custom ROM.
Hello, everybody,
I'm from Portugal, Europe and have been trying to install a custom ROM on my SE X10 Mini Pro for a week.
Can't install any recovery, have U20i, 2.1.update1 firmware, stock kernel, rooted.
Tried CWM, to no avail. Tried xRecovery, to no avail. Tried RecoveryX, also to no avail.
Why on Earth, can't I do it? Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!

If you have the Stock Rom and Kernel, you can use the FLASHTOOL to install the Recovery...
But if you are trying to install any custom ROM, just follow the tutorial, there is no mistake there, where you install the custom kernel to the appropriated ROM you want to use, the CWM ou xRecovery is included!
Flash a ftf. The mini doesn't have separate recovery partition

Thanks for your help!
So can I simply flash a ROM with Flashtool? Or must I install the kernel separately?

I use flashtool to install the kernel separately then I enter in CWM and flash the ROM there...

Thanks, André. I believe you're from Brasil, right?
Will try that during the weekend. I must install the kernel for U20i, right? Then run CWM after restart, and then flash the ROM? Sorry for all the trouble!

Could someone please host xperia mini pro sk17i 4.0.2.A.0.58 stock kernel, just the kernel. I've made a nandroid backup, but when i'm trying to restore it, i'm having a bootloop, i guess i need to flash the kernel after i flash with a custom one. Tried to search in this forum, but no success. Or is it any other method to which i can extract the kernel from nandroid backup? Currently i'm using kamarush v3 kernel with cwm v5.0.27. thanks in advance.

I searched for the kernel, too. Just flash the kernel.sin from the .58 ftf.
Or try Rage Kernel for 2.3.4 or X kernel
Download this ftf file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341460
and use Flashtool to flash just kernel.sin .(uncheck everything else )
That should be equivalent to flashing stock kernel

i've read those thread, but that's not what i'm looking for. The whole ftf file is 260 mb while the kernel only would be aroud 10-15 mb in size. What I'm looking for is stock GB kernel only.

Yes it works with rage kernel for 2.3.4. It works great, I tried it!
The thing with the kernel is okay, but if it doesn't work flash the whole rom, don't exclude anything, your phone will boot up. Root it and install cwm. Then you can restore your old backup...

Finally found a stock kernel, although wasn't I expected. Link to thread here
Hi guys,
I'm new here, sorry if this isn't the right place...
I'm a GS3 owner and just flashed the ROM I9300XXDLJ5_I9300ODDDLI7_INU.
I would like to flash the SpeedMod kernel but before doing that I need to know how do I install the stock kernel if needed.
Can you point to the right direction?
Thank you
If you make a backup, resorting the backup will also restore the kernel
I did, but I don't want to restore the whole thing... all I want is to restore the kernel if needed.
Tell me, extract boot.img from India ROM and make a new .tar with this single file will work?
Thank you

Try to search forum or Google to find your stock kernels flashable zip or tar . Download it.. it will works. But pay attention to ICS / JB difference.. flash right kernel.

you could also extract it from the ROM's file and flash it I guess.
Thank you guys.
Extracted boot.img from Sammy Indian Rom and made a new .Tar using S3 Toolkit.

the link you posted has .587 firmware for mini pro.... download it....
you have to flash it first by using flash mode and then you will find boot.img in the zip file of Xtream Bean ROM V 3.0....
extract boot.img from zip and flash it in fastboot mode.... now go to CWM recovery and follow the instructions

I guess it's not really necessary to flash the .587 kernel first... just go ahead flashing the boot.img from inside the zip and boot in cwm recovery and flash the rom
If you really want the kernel, take it from here
thanks for ur reply

Normally there should be no problem just because you didn't flash the .587 kernel first, but you can try flashing the stock .587 kernel I posted earlier and then the boot.img you take from the rom.zip
Did you wipe before installing v3? Sometimes there are problems because you didn't wipe, but I don't know about the rom...
