hi
i installed latest CM7 into my x10 mini, which required the kernel 2.6.29
but it freezes when (sony ericsson) appears at the beginning of the startup
it freezes for hours, so please if anyone of you knows the solution, i appreciate
and also if anyone of you gives me the link to download the .ftf firmware file of 2.1
because i found many firmwares, but all of them are .sin, and i don't know what to do with them, flashtool doesn't find them

the last miniCM7 requires a custom kernel& unlocked bootloader.
you can't use it with stock SE kernel, sorry
repaire with SEUS or if your phone has an unlocked bootloader, flash nAa's kernel
first i am sorry for the position of the thread, i didn't post, i asked a friend to do it
second i really appreciate your help friends and thank you alot
from your help i understand that i must first unlock the bootloader, then flash the kernel and finally install cyanogenmod 7, am i right??

the (best) way :
unlock your bootloader
install miniCM7 2.0.7 (to maximise the compatibility/minimise problems ) it works with stock kernel and a little with custom...
flash the nAa_kernel04
Install miniCM7 2.1.2
read my FAQ, and the dedicated thread about miniCM7 and the kernel before trying anything
you will find 2.0.7 here

if you are installing older version of MiniCM then try going to recovery mode and wipe battery stats then reinstall it will work hopefully
and then you can crack bootloader and install Custom kernel as matmutant said

Hi, a long time ago I installed CyanogenMod 6.1.3 v06 on my Xperia X10i
Android 2.2.1
Kernel version
2.6.29 [email protected] #1
It is rooted and the bootloader is still locked
can someone please help me and tell me how I can go from this old rom to the newest stock rom? I also remember I tinkerd with some file to make the multitouch work, so now I am afraid if i just flash a new ROM I might brick the phone.
Any help would be much appreciated!
regards, superphil0
Via PC companion,just go to update than repair.It worked for me.

I tried it but when I want to repair my phone I get an error: Your ip adress is not allowed to update/repair brown phone. Please connect to the SEMC network to update your phone.
any idea how I could proceed?

You can use flashtool and stock 2.3.3 tft file to flash to the latest 2.3 stock rom.
Use search function in the form.
Thank you very much!
Everything working now with 2.3.3
Hello,
I am new at the rooting scene and i hope this is the right forum to post this.
I got my xperia x10 for 1.5 years now and i want to try something new.
When i was searching on the internet i found the new miui rom and it looked incredible. Now i looked to every possible thread on this xda forum database but i still didnt find out how to get this miui rom on my xperia x10. After reading many different threads i do not see the difference between rooting flashing and roms.
I am thinking this: do i need to root my telephone first, then flash it and then i can put a rom on it?
Other thing i was wondering is the thing with locked and unlocked bootloaders. I have a standard 2.3.3 version of android xperia x10 and i never did something with it. Do i need to unlock bootlader to get a miui rom or is this not needed.
My specs:
modelnumber x10i
Android version 2.3.3
Smalband version 2.1.71
Kernel version 2.6.29-00054
Sorry for asking these noob questions but when i look to the miui forum i see methods for locked and unlocked bootloaders.
I hope someone want to help me with getting the miui rom on my telephone, because i am 1000% not as smart as all of u are with phones
with kind regards,
Jeroen

Hey ,
First of all, yes u will need to root your phone before flashing ROMs.
And about the bootloader question.. Most of the MiUI ROMs requires a unlocked bootloader, but ofc some of them will work on locked too.. If u want to get the most out of ur phone, u can easily unlock bl using flashtool.

thnx for ur comment... well im still looking to the forums hehe to learn more.
So i can root my phone with xrecovery? and then i can also flash roms with xrecovery? but i have .73 and everyone is talking about .48 and .52 whats with that
Pick a rom and see what you need.Be aware that rooms have bugs,help is sometimes slow in forthcoming and to see what's going on may require you to read 100s of posts in that rooms thread AND some links for download may be dead.
Anyway first thing to do is set up your PC properly with flash tool/PC companion and flash/root the phone.
I would then read and bookmark the guides on here,and see how to make a backup.
Then you can see what rom you would like, see what kernel is needed and if you need/want to unlock the boot loader.
You could maybe have a crack at *oodies primex* rom to start off with.

When You're on a stock ROM it would be better for You to root and unlock Your bootloader now, else You won't be able to unlock Your bootloader later.
Here are all the files You'll need to do this.
kernel
Dear jakuburban,
Thnx for your reply on my message. I am currently at my work so i cannot open your help file. I am looking forward to it when i am at home. I did some research today on the forum and i finally understand i need to flash root and unlock my xperia x10.
But the only thing i do not understand is the kernel. There are many different kernels and i do not know wish one i need to use.
I want to get the corbrato MIUI rom based on 2.3.7 android. I got currently 2.3.3 android on my telephone. So do i need to take the 2.3.3 kernel or the 2.3.7 one? and whats the difference between the kernels and what one is the best to take?
I hope you or someone else can answer this.
Thnx for helping!!!
Kind regards,
Jeroen

2.3.3 and 2.3.7 are the versions of the ROM not Kernel. Kernels are mostly calle after a developer so for example DooMLorD kernel, which I think is the best for You. It works on stock-based ROM's and on a MIUI (It takes a little bit long too boot).
Hi all;
I found many links to download the ftf file (android ICS 4.0.4) for xp mini pro SK17a and SK17i and many other models, but nothing for the U20i! ... anybody have some links or infiormation about it ?

There is no official ICS firmware for our devices, SE never even gave us a frozen yogurt, so the only way to get ICS on your phone is either MiniCM9 or this one, which is based on ICS sources.
Oh, I thought that you was searching a kernel for android 4.0.4 . The thread i gave include's a link to a kernel that support android 4.0.4 (CM9).
great thanks SmG67 .... is there any way to adapt the SK17i file for the U20i ?

Nope, sorry, the SK17i runs on a newer SoC than ours, and they're not compatible.
You would have to recompile it all from source, which is what the provided links have already done for us , they are really the only options for our phones.
ok; we'll keep CM9 .... great thanks SmG67

upgrading new u20i
Hi guys, I'm new here. I recently bought new xperia mini pro u20i and I don't really like the old OS in it. Thought to upgrade to ICS but the problem is that I'm not experienced at all in these android update&upgrade things. (I'm mostly a computer guy ) I've read instructions how to upgrade etc.. but I'm not risking do it alone although I rooted my phone few hours earlier (whatever that means ) I need someone experienced to show me either on Skype or any other IM step-by-step how to upgrade my OS before I go crazy about it ICS seems like a cool upgrade and I want to try it out. Reply here or PM me, doesn't matter. Please just help me to accomplish this task. Appreciate it. Thanks in advance ))

Start thinking of your phone as a computer... It will make things easier.
Root access (which is easy to come by on Windows, but usually needs a password on linux) allows you to tinker with your system-files.
And there is a tutorial around here somewhere, where the poster has gone through the trouble of making screenshots for every step needed, so maybe you could search for that.
Hello, friends. I'm writting to ask you for a help, because i have a very big problem.
Some time ago I installed wrong ROM for my Xperia Mini, which was made for Xperia Pro.... I found some good ideas and offers in this forum, like install lastest firmware .62 with FlashTool and then rom, for example, hybrom_v10 via Recovery Mode (CWM). The main problem is I cannot install ROM, because my phone is totally wiped now (there is no CWM). Secondly, I cannot install CWM because i can't enable USB Debugging because of the TouchScreen, which is NOT WORKING. I've been serching for some information a lot about this, but nothing helped..... If you know the solution, PLEASE help me some how, i don't know what to do and I really need to fix this phone. Thank you for your attention.

You don't need USB debugging to install CWM! Just flash any kernel that has cwm in it. Almost all the custom kernels have cwm. If you haven't unlocked your bootloader, then I suggest that you do it so that you can flash a kernel which has cwm.
Maybe you should unlock your bootloader, because after that you can flash a custom kernel that has cwm built in
Sorry, did not see abcdjdj's post, was writing mine while he posted his one

There are numerous threads on the touchscreen issue, they're as annoying and as common in this section as best ROM threads are in the Arc section, so I'm not sure why People can't find the solution.
Thank you very much ! Now on the last step left. I installed .62 firmware, hybrom. TouchScreen still not working, but I will figure out how to fix it from orhers threads, well, i hope.

Muchas gracias amigo

Problem solved, CASE closed thx..
Hi ovejasrepublicanas,
just wanted to give you and the community a quick feedback and my hands up as promissed.
Thank you for the links / files.
I downloaded it, placed the file in the FlashTool Firmware folder.
Connected my phone via usb (turned off), started flash tool, the phone turend on by itself.
Then i selected quickly flash-> flashmode. Selected the generic ROM and (with whipe cache & data selected) startet the flashing. And.....
Everything went fine. :good:
Now after a long first reboot we are AT ZERO again.
Turning on Developer Mode and sourcec and debugging and going back to start (to unlock the bootloader, flash a working recovery tool and the ROM and so on)
THX!
BTW: Did you delete your profile here or what happend??
