I'm running MiniCM7-2.0.7 on my Xperia Mini, and my questions are:
1. Battery consumption has gone seriously uphill ever since I installed MiniCM7. Anything that can be done?
2. I tried installing a few other ROMs, but none worked, and it said installation was aborted. (I tried cm_mimmi and srom) Is this a problem with the kernel? What can be done now, because I want to use some other ROMs and check them out. Also, suggest ways to get back to the original ROM.
3. I tried installing GingerDX earlier (before CM7) and it didn't work, and that eventually bricked my phone, and I had to get it fixed. How can I get it to work now?
PLEASE HELP!

I'm using ClockworkMod recovery
And the link you gave, says the recovery is only for Mini Pro. The thing is, if I hadn't bricked my phone twice already, I would have done it without thinking much. But now, I'm scared about the results
Can you precise your phone model, version of CMW and your rom?

I'm on WB5 w/ Doomkernel and I want to go back to 2.1, and try a fresh reinstall of everything, including unlocking my bootloader (which I also don't know how to do, since I'm using doomkernel for locked bootloaders and there's one for unlocked, and I don't want to mess up anything).
Thanks to any who answer

You can't flash a whole stock rom with xRecovery, since you can't flash kernels and basebands through it.
You should use flashtool to downgrade your phone.

Im on the new WB 5.00c and want to downgrade to 2.1.A.0.435 Global Generic ROM - Root / JIT v2 / xRecovery - Working WiFi (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936462)
it also includes a base band. Should I downgrade from the current 71 based one, after i flash the rom listed? I am as little unsure as I have always upgraded upwards. Was not sure if there was an incompatibility. I should know this by now as I have flashed many roms with xrec and flashtool also. My whole intention is to unlock the bootloader. I dont mind a full down grade since I have found 2 major issues with the wb rom, and may or may not upgrade back to it. Just need a reassurance is all.

Whenever you flash a firmware either upgrading or downgrading, just make sure that you flash the proper/compatible baseband and kernel files. These are generally provided with the firmware in the form of .tft file or the proper kernel is mentioned in the post itself!!
Here is a list of all the firmwares!!
Simply flash using Flashtool. Link is mentioned in the post itself!!
Edit: you can try the firmware mentioned in the link. Just remember to flash the Firmware files using flashtool as mentioned!!

Hi all!
(Well, I have to start with that I'm hungarian so sorry for my english.)
I dont know if anyone has already mentioned this problem in other threads but i didnt find any. So my problem is that I rooted my phone with changing kernel (neoV 4.0.3) after that rooting and after rooting upgrading the latest mini pro kernel in my phone (4.1.B.0.587).
There was no problem i have managed to root my phone. After that i downloaded the cwm auto installer app from play and installed cwm. After that i installed two apps with cwm, exactly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705352&highlight=root
and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695048
After these steps i realised that my girlfriend wanted to call me but it was a missed call so i tried to call her back. And HERE IS THE PROBLEM: when i touch on the button with the green phone icon before starting to call anyone my phone collapsed and reboots itself.
Well i dont know if the problem comes from the root (maybe i did something wrong but got good result) or from the 2 apps installed with cwm and there i made some mistakes :/ well i dont know i think i did everything well but as i said i really dont know what the problem is.
Please help me!! Thank you in advance
Post the links of those two apps properly... Unable to click them directly
And as you said your phone is NEO V or Mini Pro
then why did you upload the "neo v" "latest mini pro kernel" :what::sly::banghead:
Specify your phone and kernel properly or upload a screenshot
And if you have you have installed mini pro kernel in neo V or vice versa
Then flash stock firmware via flashtool
Sent from my Smultron running CM10
I have mini pro(sk17i), but as you know mini pros dont have 4.0.3 kernel and rom cause the first ics was the 4.0.4 so i just chose a random 4.0.3 kernel (neov) and rooted that one and after the root i put the original sk17i kernel 4.1.B.0.587 back. and after that i got root permissions in my 4.0.4 ics phone with its official latest kernel. Thats all. I just followed the steps to root. and now you can see the apps' urls

I think you installed an inappropriate kernel for your device...
Download the stock firmware for your device... Flash it via Flashtool
Then again unlock your bootloader
And this time install any supported kernel like Kamarush v3 or Kernel Panic... I mean any prerooted kernel... And after you get root access just switch to latest firmware... And .587 is whole new stock firmware Not kernel...

rom was MiniCM10-4.0.1-robyn but after it failed I stupidly tried MiniCM7-2.2.1-robyn and it's installed. and after that I instsalled gapps-jb-20120923-signed and reboot.
kernel was the E10_nAa-02_2.6.29-nAa-02 before the rom installing process.

You SHOULD have updated the kernel according the instructions in the ROM-threads, which you failed to do. Now I guess you've flashed the x10blrelock.ftf? In that case, your phone needs a JTAG.
yes you right it was x10blrelock.

Flashing of x10blrelock.ftf happens too often now.

Phone-repair shops have a JTAG-box that can restore the original firmware using special connections inside your phone. You'll have to pay for it to get your phone working again.
Hi all
I recently attempted the install of a couple of custom xperia u ROMs while failing. I am unable to access cwm and can't boot into fast boot mode as the computer won't recognize it. Have spent hours trying to. Firstly I need a good guide on how to get windows 7 to recognize it as well as a stock cwm flash able zip for the st25a Australian version of possible
Thanks
I had a similar problem recently with a HTC HD2, no recovery, so I had to do a hard reset terminal and start from the begining.
Sometimes the USB connection also fails with computer, records excesses device links. Download "USB Oblivion" check real clean and run (remove all those links).
I have a Xperia Arc S, I advise you to start download one stock rom with root possibility and I'll leave a works based recovery (CWM Auto-installer Xperia 4.apk). With this phone I had some problems with the new Xpart7, recovery and install roms.Best used this old to start.
Another option, if you have the bootloader unlocked, would flash a kernel with a version of CWM included and that works for the rom you are installing. Once there, you restore or install your desired rom that surely you have prepared.
Good luck, hope I've helped.
PD: I am Spanish, and I don´t write an advanced English, if any problems, quiet, I'll start posting in my language and you, if you are interested, you translate it
Saludos.
Thanks! Will try when I get home. Another question: do you need an unlocked boot loader to install custom ROMs and is there one that doesn't have to be installed over the stock firmware

most custom roms can be installed on the stock kernel, so in that case you dont need unlocked bootloader, but if you use custom kernel you will need unlocked bootloader.

You are in the need to download the adb-drivers for your mobile and just install it along with the sdk then your computer will detect it as a fastboot device.

This should be in the Q&A section, and what is really good really depends on what you want from your phone. Not sure if you couldn't find anything, or didn't like what you did find...
Well, as I said, I want the best one, faster, less bugs, etc... As there is GingerDx v31 for x8, it's pretty good

No he doesn't, not for just a custom ROM anyway, and he already said he can't unlock his bootloader.
Start with this one, it's the last MiniCM7 by nAa which ran on stock kernel, based on Gingerbread 2.3.5.

Get this (ClockWorkMod) and put it on your sd-card
Put the ROM on your sd-card too
Get flashtool (It's in the first post in the x10mini dev section)
Install it
If you do NOT have Sony Update Service or PC Companion then:
Install flashtool-drivers from the drivers subfolder and choose E10i Xperia X10Mini
Press the Padlock button in flashtool, this will root your phone
Press the Swiss flag (Plus) button in flashtool, this will install xRecovery
Choose Tools - Reboot - Recovery - Reboot default recovery
On your phone: Choose 'Install zip from sd-card' - Choose custom zip
Select CWM-recovery-3.2.0.0-r3-x10mini-Amend.zip
Select yes
Reboot your phone and press the back-button repeatedly just before and when the sony ericsson logo appears.
Choose backup and restore - backup (This will back up your current system and data so you can get it back later should you want to)
Choose Install zip from sd-card - Choose custom zip
Select MiniCM7-2.0.7.zip
Select yes
Do: Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
In the advanced submenu: Wipe Dalvik-cache
Reboot the phone and enjoy your new ROM
(You will have lost all your user-data so maybe it's a good idea to back up at least your contact-list to sd-card, which can be done when you enter the contacts app and press the menu-button, it will create a file on your sd-card that you can import again later.)

Oh.. and I think you need to find Google Apps for Gingerbread too if you want the play-store, flash them the way you flash the ROM,
Okay, I'll do it tomorrow. Thank you a lot for your help.

There is actually a custom ROM that does not require a unlocked bootloader, it runs with stock kernel. It is called MiniCM7Pro by BPaul. Google it.
