Can i use the system dump to restore using xrecovery 0.3?
Apparently also works with other generic firmwares, such as the DE one.
works for me as well. I am on a branded X10a Rogers phone in Canada. Flashed the above ftf and everything works perfect. I was on J's CM7 at that time.
It's working!!

Dude i think you should try again to update it to 2.1 version using Bin4ry flash tool...that will provide you root access.
Here's the link-:
Pro: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455
Mini: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825664
In order to use the flasher just try these steps:
1)Download SEUS and Pc Companion and connect the phone with them at least once (just connect)
2)Make sure you have the latest java installed on your pc.
3)Download the flasher from Bin4ry (Just make sure you've downloaded the mini and not the mini pro edition).
4)Download from the same thread a Generic 2.0.A.0.504 FW and put the folder with the .sin files inside the flashtool's directory.
5)Run the flashtool, press flash and then choose the name of the folder, where the .sin files are in.
6)While the phone is off, keep the back button pressed and connect on usb until the green light is on.
tnx my problem was solved by u mates

3) Do i need to download recovery image?
4) What is the difference between stock firmware and roms? Does roms act as add on stock firmware? Does 2.3 rom works only when we use 2.3 firmware?

*) same firmware with minor difference i think. Almost no difference between them.
*) if you using .ftf (flashtool files), you dont need to flash baseband and kernel, they are included in .ftf bundle i think.
*) i have no idea what you mean. But if you mean backup files to restore via recovery, you dont need them if you flash your firmware via flashtool.
*) no difference between them, just similar name, firmware and ROM is sinonym. Firmware is ROM and ROM is Firmware. CMIIW
*) yes i think.

Try this...
Power off the phone
Remove the battery
Hold down the back button
Put the battery back in while still holding the back button down
Press the power button
Release the power button and the back button
This should put the phone in flash mode.

Hello,
I updated my Xperia Mini Pro to ICS 4.0.4 last week. But there are lot of problems here. Also buggy and laggy.
So, how can I downgrade my mobile to original stock rom? without loosing the warranty. Because I bought this last month and I don't want it to lose warranty.

Just visit a Sony service centre... Itseems they downgrade the Rom to gb if u want.
Or you can flash ftf firmware file using flashtool. I don't think that voids warranty:good:

If you do want to keep your warranty, you need to go to a service center. If not it's more than easy on Android.

you can search for official rom for GB at the development area
be sure you install flash tool too
it wont loose your warranty
If I were you I would look here and go to XX.Downloads. At Number 2 there is xperia mini pro.
Download the 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom (for SK17i) and install flashtool, then click on the flash ,select flashmode and select the ftf from 4.0.2.A.0.42.
But install the drivers from the drivers folder of flashtool before.
Then click flash and power off your phone. Press and hold volume down and put usb cable in and connect to pc. The green light will shine.
Then flashtool will do everything automaticly and will flash the rom. (Btw all your data will be wiped!)
If you are on .42 then you can root with flashtool (just enable debugging and unknown sources on phone) and click the open padlock to root. Then connect to your wlan and search for updates on phone. Then update via ota to .62 firmware!
Thats the best way and it's the official firmware and it's like you never have been on ics before!

Thank you so much dude! I will do that. But i need to know that firmware is "world" one or is that a firmware made for a mobile company like AT&t or something else? Because I don't need to see a company logo when my phone is starting.
Also if I do this, am I able to update my OS to newer firmwares if SONY release it? Like ICS or JB?

Yes, you can download from here and if your bootloader is locked you can still upgrade over the air (wlan) to newer versions of your os!
Yes you can install upgrades from sony, to ics or jb (if it's out).
I think it's polish rom or something like this, but you can choose your language and it's like the generic world, only the crap by sony (like things that are preinstalled, like mcaffee or whatsapp, playstore now, etc ) is different (whatsapp is on some sony roms preinstalled, but you can also download in playstore, it was just an example!!)
So just flash it like I told you and then you are on stock sony rom, you can root it (cause .42 you can root easily: just enable usb-debugging and unknown sources on your phone with 4.0.2.A.0.42 and click the open padlock next to the flash). Then you can update (if your bootloader is locked, otherwise your phone will brick) to .62 firmware, the latest gingerbread firmware by sony. ( I don't know excatly in which countries, but in Germany there is a .69 firmware, with no changes on the software, I think, compared to .62)
