I currently have Paul's Rom Android V 4 and a custom kernel NAA Kernel.
Since it doesn't have camera and other features I have thought of reverting back to the original firmware and kernel..
Can I directly use Sony Erricsson PC Companion to restore everything or do I have to flash the kernel of stock again ?
Please give some vision.

i dont have that rom but minicm7, and i can tell u with this one it was as simple as open the program in pc, select repair and follow the instructions. after that i had my phone with stock kernel and rom again. dont be afraid, if it wasnt possible the program would tell u.
Thanks for your kind reply, I am going to do it but when I connect my Device it says Xperia X10 but not Xperia X10 Mini Pro, previously it used to show Xperia X10 Mini Pro ?? Confusing ? I recently upgraded the SE PC Companion.
That's just showing how much SE. Really don't care for our phones. In flash it should be fine but if your worried download sony ericsson update service instead. Btw when you flash you will have stock rom kernel etc but your bootloader is still unlocked. Just in case you thought that would relock it
Sent from my X10 Mini Pro using XDA
Thanks for your kind reply If I keep it unlocked does it affect in any way ? I don't properly understand. I unlocked it for the NAA Kernel.

dont worry!! u can use stock rom and kernel with ur bootloader unlocked... i did it... its only useful to relock in case u have to send it to repair, as it was my case, to repair it with the warranty

for sony ericsson. not the PC companion to revert back. you should use UPDATE SERVICE to restore back to stock condition and redo all the mod again.

i tryed do it, and SEUS says that my device has no atualization and don't restore, so i replaced my build.prop for other from original rom, restarted my device, then SEUS recognized my device and restored for original 2.1 android.
another way is download a firmware and flash it using flash tools~
Hello, today (6/16) Sony Mobile has posted my SI-number on their Xperia Mini ICS thread, which means that the official ICS update is now available for my device using the PC Companion.
Problem is, I have unlocked my bootloader & I'm now running the stock Gingerbread with a prerooted kernel. I've read many topics where people get bricks by updating their unlocked SE phones via OTA or the PC Companion.
The solution seems to be extracting the update from the PC Companion, and then flashing it with Flashtool. But I'm a n00b and I don't know how to do this, can some1 help me . Just don't wanna brick my phone now, I need it xP.
Oh, and another question, if I update with the official rom, will I lose the unlocked bootloader?
You have two ways to do this. One is the simplest in the world: find a .ftf file for stock ICS rom and flash it through flashtool. And that's all.
If you want to upgrade through PC Companion, you'll have to:
1) Flash stock kernel
2) Relock your bootloader
3) Use PCC to upgrade

No, it won't. Don't worry
Unlocked bootloader is only a problem when using PC Companion or SUS
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:

Correct they wont know the difference between flashtool downgrade and normal gb from before. So for warranty you will fine.
use flash tool .. it wont void warrent , because you will flash OFFICAL ROM .. so wont void warrenty
But im a newbie. How to use flash tool? my phone is not x10 mini pro. It's SK17i Mini pro.

But the rom is modified. Isn't it? I need the original 2.3.4 build 4.0.2.A.0.58 rom... Please can u find me a link?
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)
Greets!

Are you sure it is available for Brasil?
Otherwise flash it with flashtool (voids warranty, but sony shouldn't notice)
if you have cwm installed with locked bootloader, it really wont update

bootloader unlocking and rooting has nothing to do with flashing through PCC. just connect and if it says update do it...... u will only get problem if u flashed a custom rom.... if u flash custom u wont get update via PCC.... wait for a .tft file of ics...... i bet some one will eventually post it( and hopefullyearlier than the default PCC of ur region ).... then just flash it via flash tool..... if u find a .tft of ics sola the follow only the first step of this link

With an unlocked bootloader you cant update via pcc. You can either relock your phones bootloader and flash a stock rom or wait for someone to upload a ftf and flash it via flashtool

Thanks so for relocking does the rooting matter or do i have to do something to revert back the rooting also .. or just relocking is enough
Your phone won't boot after the relock so you'll have to flash a stock rom

Yup, that's the method which I use to relock my bootloader, (have done it two times already...will do it today again...getting ready for ICS )
will my phone be still rooted
hey im just wondering, will my phone be still rooted if i'll update via flashtool using a tft for ics sola or would it revert back to a non rooted phone? i hope it does stay to be rooted because i enjoy my rooted jb sola atm.
