Hello,
First I want to thank all xda-developers for their work!
They do even better work then the providers!
Question 1:
Well my question is that I want to flash my SE Xperia X10 Mini.
I already unlocked the bootloader with the following guide:
Link 1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
Although now I want to flash the kernel.
In the thread (link 1) stands how to flash the kernel.
But also in the following thread of the ROM that I want to install after worths:
Link 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553
Link 1 says that I don't must flash any .sin files.
Although link 2 says I need to flash the kernel.sin and the loader.sin.
This getting me confused, now I don't know what I need to follow?
Question 2:
Also at the link 1 it talks about a .ftf file that I can't find.
Where can I find that?
Question 3:
In link 2 when i download the ROM I get a file called "A MiniCM7-2.1.1_nAa-kernel02.7z".
So it says it got a kernel inside (I guess thats the .ftf file) but I can't find it inside it.
Anybody knows where I could find that?
Thanks in advance.

I think you have wrong link to get custom kernel, find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256739 see instal guide, there the link kernel ftf file.
Before flash that kernel you must flash the ROM in Link 2.
to flash custom kernel you must download ftf file if you had zip, extract and you will get ftf and put that in folder flashtool/firmware, and you can see there 2 file.sin in there from flashtool.
If i can help you don't forget to press thanks button.
Thanks for your quick response!
U helped me to the right direction already.
Although i still have a question left.
Question 1:
To flash the ROM I just need to copy it to the root of the SD-card?
Thanks in advance.
Greetz,

Copy Rom ( *.zip) to the SD Card ,
in the ClockworkMod choose option
- install zip from sdcard then
- choose zip from sdcard then
find file with ROM and apply
VOILA
of course I assume that you have ClockworworkMod installed

Yes,
1. Copy ROM to sd card
2. boot in CWM recovery
3. Wipe Data/factory reset
4. wipe cache partition
5. advance>wipe dalvik cache
6. instal zip from sd card and chose ROM.
don,t forget to backup your file first.
and now you can flash the kernel.
Thanks both for your answers.
Yes I installed ROM manager.
Although stiv8785 you say I first need to follow these steps and then flash:
1. Copy ROM to sd card
2. boot in CWM recovery
3. Wipe Data/factory reset
4. wipe cache partition
5. advance>wipe dalvik cache
6. instal zip from sd card and chose ROM.

and now you can flash the kernel.

Although I first need to flash kernel and then follow those steps.
Just like it stands in the other guides.
Although I already copy the ROM to SD card.
Please note me when I am wrong.
Both a big thanks again for your quick response.

EDIT:
At the moment I wanted to flash my phone I am still confused (sorry guys for my slow understanding).
To flash it by this following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256739
He says:
Flash the kernel via Flashtool
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Although that gives me to less details how to flash is correctly.
On the following link there is more details about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553
He says:
Flash the nAa kernel using Flashtool. To to this:
- Turn off your phone
- Start the Flashtool\X10FlashTool.exe and select Flash. Then select the E10_nAaxxx kernel firmware (this flashes both the kernel.sin and the loader.sin)
- Keep the back button pressed while connecting the usb cable. Flashtool should detect your phone and flash the kernel.
- Once done, disconnect the usb cable and power on the phone.

And the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
Says this:
Generally you have to delete all the files in /system/lib/modules before flashing a custom kernel!
c. Put the (kernel name).ftf file in the /firmwares folder. (Don't flash any .sin files, flash only the .ftf file.)
d. Open Flashtool.
e. Click Flash.
f. Select (kernel name).ftf.
g. Turn off your phone.
h. Connect your phone in flash mode (only when the popup window prompts for you to do so). (To boot into flash mode, press and hold back button while connecting your phone to the PC using an usb cable).
i. Disconnect your phone (do so only when the popup window to prompts you to disconnect your phone).
j. Reboot and you have a custom kernel!
k. Confirm by going to Settings --> About Phone --> Kernel version. It should have the name of the kernel you flashed.
m. To flash back to stock kernel, download the appropriate file below and follow steps listed above.

Which one is the best to follow for my SE Xperia X10 Mini (E10i)?
Steps I already have taken:
1. Unlock the bootloader.
2. Install FlashTool v0.2.9.1 beta.
3. Put the .ftf file into the following folder: /firmwares.
4. Put the custom ROM (the .zip file) into the root of my SD card.
So far all successful.
sorry, maybe because I use the Mini Pro not mini.
Please follow the instructions in the ROM thread, I think everything is clear.
and all the materials you prepare is correct, good luck
No problem
And thanks again I will follow that guide now.
I am charging my mobile now to 100% now before I start.
Although I installed ROM manager but didn't do anything with it yet.
Should I do something with it before flashing or?
I have totally no experience with the ROM manager.
Anybody could give a short guide how to use the ROM manager and where it's good for?
I am sorry I keep asking questions but I am a bit nervous about flashing my mobile.
I don't want to brick it hehe
EDIT:
Do I need to delete all files in "/system/lib/modules" before flashing?
There is only the following items in it:
sdio.ko
tiwlan_drv.ko

Have you installed the Recovery CWM?
You don't need ROM manager.
No need to remove the module, if the ROM is compatible with a custom kernel.
At this following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553
or:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
Stands nothing from Recovery CWM.
Do I then still need to install it?
Also if I need to do I need to install it before or after flashing the kernel?
Or is it included by flashing the kernel?
EDIT:
I notice that I keep getting in a circle of keep asking questions.
I will try to break this circle with the following.
Tell me how far it's done:
- Good.
- Bad.
- What else need to be done.
- What need to be changed.
I'm sorry that I keep asking these questions, but like I said before I am getting bit nervous about flashing my phone.
Although I want to do it because SE stopped with giving us updates and I am stuck with 2.1-update1
Step 1: Root phone (done successful).
Step 2: Unlock bootloader (done successful).
Step 3: Flash kernel (not done).
Step 3a: Turn off your phone
Step 3b: Start the Flashtool\X10FlashTool.exe and select Flash. Then select the E10_nAaxxx kernel firmware (this flashes both the kernel.sin and the loader.sin)
Step 3c: Keep the back button pressed while connecting the usb cable. Flashtool should detect your phone and flash the kernel.
Step 3e: Once done, disconnect the usb cable and power on the phone.
Step 4: Install Recovery CWM (not done).
Step 4a: Don't know what to do here?
Do i need to install it actually?
NOTE:I also heard something about Busybox, but I don't know much about that either and is it needed?
Short explanation about the colors:
Green: done successful
Orange: I think it's the right way to do not sure and not done.
Red: I am confused and don't know what to do.
Thanks in advance.

GOOD
Make sure has been successful flash custom kernel:
go to settings> about phone and see if the kernel version is 2.6.29 SEMCUser @ SEMCHost # 1 you have not succeeded. but if his version is compatible with the kernel name or initials, you've managed to flash a custom kernel.
I read the thread nAa kernel, CWM recovery already in the kernel. to be sure reboot the phone, wait a moment will live on and the screen appeared an image or text first on press back button. iff you in to the recovery menu (for navigation, home to select).
please proceed to the next step in ROM instalation guide.
So I can untill ROM manager and busybox from my mobile?
They are not needed?

if your phone has been root, you don't need busybox. because it's already installed on the phone when in root. (I assume if your phone already in root)
ROM manager i think it, s optional.

stiv8785 once thanks again! (I pressed every thanks button at every post of yours )
So I unstalled dropbox.
I guess I will keep ROM manager on my phone for now.
Although I got one last question (I hope ).
How do I backup my ROM that I use now (the standard thats on every SE X10 Mini)?
So if something goes wrong that I still got a backup.

Congratulations, I'm sorry too late to respond.
Hi. I'm a newbie on xda and I would be extremely grateful if someone could help me.
I have a problem with my X10i. It used to run stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread with root access and busybox / xRecovery 0.3 already installed. I decided to install DiXperia 7 'Avenger' by DiKeJ (greetings, buddy) on my device using xR. I downloaded the ROM and pasted it directly into my SD card. Then I did all the steps:
-Factory Reset
-Wipe Cache Partition
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Wipe Battery Stats
I choosed Install Custom Zip to install DX7. The console displayed few lines of code which I don't remember and this error:
Code:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(Device or resource busy)
E: Can't mount /sdcard
After this my phone freezes on SE logo, I can't run xRecovery, system or even charge my phone. I tried to flash it using Flashtool, but it doesn't recognize my device.
Is there any chance to resurrect my Xperia? I want to use it again, even with the stock ROM?
Greetings
Yes it possible, and impossible to break your device for now - sometimes this problem exist, don't know why, and not only on my ROM - it's possible on all X10, I had it too one time when I wanted to flash Wolfbreak's ROM v4 (old time ). Let's back to your problem - you need to apply again Stock ROM 2.3.3 - install it via SEUS/PcCompanion (or FlashTool, but I suggest official app. If you can't flash via FT, then you need to update your drivers for X10), and then make Root, Busybox, and xRecovery 0.3, I suggest you GB ready (the newest FlashTool have it included all). Then problem should dissapear, without anything. I think it should help. Take care buddy .
DiKeJ I can't remember. Does Your ROM require an unlocked bootloader?
Sent from X10
Use this tool forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415600
Thank you very much, DiKeJ. My X10 has been saved!
But I still want to install DX7. What did I do wrong (or what's wrong with my SD card)? How can I make it work next time?
Anybody care to tell me how to get any of those methods to work? I got my x10 stuck at the SE logo while flashing, and I can't do anything with it. None of the programs can recognize it and it won't boot into recovery.
can you help me my x10i freeze at "Sony Ericsson" after rooting kernel help me please
im from philippines and i don't think we have sony ericsson care here
can you send me in my email? [email protected] please
I guess the best solution to get ride of this issue is to flash the stock full firmware and then do everything from the beginning.
To do that, you should visit this topic : [TOOL/X10] [UPDATE 07/04/2012] Flashtool version 0.6.9.0
Then flash a generic firmware(you choose whatever you like) using flashtool
Once your phone is booted, you can try to mod it as you wish.
If you would like to change the kernel, I advise you to unlock the bootloader : read the topic
Hope this gonna help

It should work in x10i manong, just start from the beginning which you need apply again the stock 2.3.3 ROM from sony ericsson (sony mobile these days) via PC Suite then Root and install busybox and xRecovery 0.3 and the problem is solved. I tried it to my friend's phone which is x10i also, and it works. Just follow the instructions given by DiKeJ and you'll be fine. :good:

Check that topic, try the solutions posted there.
I sent mine to service already, ROM testing killed the touchscreen.
Problem solved!
1)Install lastest firmware .62 for wt19i - use Flashtool
2) Install Rage Kernel 2.6 - use Flashtool
3) Then via CM from zip install hybrom_v12. for mini pro
3) Install "Touchscreen.zip" via CWM and reboot system
(Touch screens has to work)
4) Then again flash hybroman_v12 for wt19i
Good luck!!!
djRemov dude, where'd you get that touch flashfile? You made it yourself or is someone developing it? I fixed mine using the Hybrom v12 > Hybroman v12 way (without the file) and it still worked. Just curious..
I dug the hybrom zip and found the exact same hex files on it. Was thinking whether the just the script would work on it's own without flashing the minipro hybrom since they're doing essentially the same thing..
Thx dude
** oh yeah, not gonna test that theory anytime soon. I love my phone when it works~! LoL

I made myself.
At first I wanted to copy a SYS from another phone, but wondered, and concluded that the MINI PRO ROM has changed about the path to the touch screen files in the SYS . Renaming touch_coconut_tpk.hex in touch_mango_....hex, and replaced by one file in the folder firmware.
Do you guys have a link for the Mini Pro ROM? I'm desperate now.. =(
I still have a HYBROMAN v16 do you think that would work?
EDIT: I was able to download HYBROM_V12 but CWM keeps saying that the file is bad. Downloaded and re downloaded at least 10x now.. Any ideas?
UPDATE: For those who are having problems with their touchscreen, this method works! (finally found a working version of hybrom_v12)

Lemme see if I understand this right. Basically, what it does is overwrite the hex file and starts the touchscreen script? In which case it continues from the hybrom flash and replaces the hex from the minipro with the lww one?
WT19i Touchscreen Issue Solved
Solution
Follow these steps.
1) First you need to download and copy these two ROM zip files to your SD Card. The download links are given below.
a) (Note: Add (https) then //) before you enter the address which is given below in the address bar for downloading the file.)
|
V
dl.dropbox.com/u/61884099/hybrom_v10.zip
b) (Note: Add (www) then (.) before you enter the address which is given below in the address bar for downloading the file.)
|
V
mediafire.com/?32i7l0w4hpfzx81
2) Switch Off your phone and flash the latest GB Stock Firmware (GB !4.0.2.A.0.62) by using Flash Tool.
You will get this Stock Firmware from here. If you have already downloaded the file, skip this download.
(Note: Add (www) then (.) before you enter the address which is given below in the address bar for downloading the file.)
|
V
mediafire.com/?ervpg54922b9c0p
3) Switch on by connecting usb cable to your computer by press and hold the volume up button on your mobile for Fastboot mode . Download and extract the kernel file which i attached with this post
(kernel_coconut-v4.zip) and flash it via Fastboot Mode in Flash Tool.
4) Switch on your mobile and press the volume down button to enter the CWM Menu and do these things.
a) wipe data/factory reset
b) wipe cache partiton
c) wipe Dalvik Cache
5) After that Do 'Install zip from sdcard' and select hybrom_v10.zip file from your sdcard which you downloaded and copied to your SDCard
earlier.
6) When the installation complete, restart your phone. You will see that your touch is partially working !! Don't waste your time by checking
Touchscreen. Switch off your mobile by remove the battery and put it again.
7) Switch on your mobile and boot into CWM Mode again. Don't do these things(wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partiton and wipe Dalvik
Cache) again for installing new zip from SDCard. (I'll tell the reason later )
Do 'Install zip from sdcard' and select hybroman_v12.zip file from your sdcard which you downloaded and copied to your SDCard
earlier.
8) After the Installation restart your phone and wait for booting into new ROM hybrom v12. Now you can see that your Touchscreen Issue is
solved !!!! :laugh:
Optional:
If you are facing wifi problem just flash the zip file via CWM (coconut_wlan_v4.zip) which is atteched with this post.
If you are not satisfied with hyvrom v12, you can also flash again the Stock Firmware or any other ROM which only supported by LWW
Cheers and Don't forget to hit the THANKS. Sorry for my bad English

1)Install lastest firmware .62 for wt19i - use Flashtool
2) Install Rage Kernel 2.6 - use Flashtool
3) Then via CM from zip install hybrom_v12. for mini pro

Can i use this touchscreen.zip for my st15i with the same prob???
So Laugh at me I've bricked my neo mt15i
So some suggestions on where to look to fix it would be nice, or maybe someone knows how to unbrick it?
I bricked it using some ICS firmware with Clockwork mod,
I booted into clockwork after turning it on, selected install rom, installed the new rom, came up with a interesting install menu with next, select neo or neo v, Of course I selected my mt15i neo option, clicked next. It went through the install said it was finished and rebooted.
Now its stuck when it turns on at Sony Ericsson, and doesn't move from there,
I can turn it on holding the option key to get it to fastboot mode or the back key for a green light which i think is recovery mode.
So i've tried using the sony ericsson recovery software but it was like no bad firmware since I can a custom 2.3 rom, so it was rooted and everything.
So how would I go about fixing it from fastboot or recovery? I'm sure there is a way, but I haven't found any thing yet through my google searches.
Thanks in advance guys
Why are you using ICS rom with GB kernel? flash some custom ICS kernel.
btw: that option key is called menu key
also you didn't say which rom you was trying to use
ahh sorry it was just a random ics rooted rom of the neo,
Its a tweaked one of some sort of version 4, ill need to find it in my download list again since i renamed the file when I put it onto my sd card

it doesn't actually matters, main problem is that you use GB kernel with ICS rom.
What do you mean GB kernel?
Since I unlocked the bootloader when I first put on the original rooted rom, but Im not too sure what else I changed when I first rooted it from the guide.
So could we go some where from here and change the GB kernel? or Have a dug myself in a hole in this case

You were using gingerbread before, right? And then you installed rom from CWM, right?
oh yep sorry always forget these names
yeah i went from GB to ics using clockworks mod 5,
but yeah im slowly understanding what im missing now, so i need a ice cream sandwich kernel to make my rom work,
My phone is now booting into clockworks 4 by itself when I turn it on, So I guess I can do something from here?
I think I managed to get cwm 4 on by flashing it using flashtools, so i think I need to find a kernel which supports my new rom would be my guess, but flashtool doesn't seem to like the kernels i've been finding and the ones that come with the roms i've managed to download the links seem to be all dead so far

Well managed to get it going after about 6 hours of reading different forums today
Thank you for your help guys!
So I worked out I used a tweaked rom link-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720177
But the kernel didn't seem to work for some reason, though maybe I tried it with the wrong rom and thats why it didn't work, all i know is i've got a 2.6 kernel with 4.0.4 ics,
this said this has been quite a good learning experience, even though it was slightly stressful as I tried option after option.
But yea the problem was the kernel from what I could work out, and when I was booting up into clockworkmod 4 that was when I'd flashed the kernnel to it, I could install other roms from there and then re flash the kernel after i'd install the rom.
What I don't understand is why clockworkmod 5 was deleted when i used it to install the rom originally, since it wouldn't work after that (holding down the volume button when turning on)
Though maybe its still there after loading a rom that boots now, haven't checked yet
Neo / v has no recovery partition, which is where cwm usually installs.
So we have 2 options install to /system or /boot when you have locked bootloader you can only install to /system, most rooms format /system at install so unless the rom contains cwm it is lost.
With unlocked bootloader cwm lives in the kernel, as performance is better with custom kernel most rom recommend one, therefore no cwm needed is system.
To clarify cwm for locked Xperia is s compressed archive extracted to and ran from cache partition, so once your in recovery formatting system isn't an issue but it is lost at reboot.

Dude, it`s very easy to unbrick your neo.
You should do step by step:
1.Install latest Flashtool to your PC.
2. Install ADB drivers
3. Download Official Sony Firmware 4.1.B.0.431 Central_Europe and kernel with cwm, i prefer night-elf
4. Power OFF your phone/ Launch Flashtool at PC/
Then press and hold settings button on Neo and connect usb cable.
LED must be green. Then press flash button and choose Fastboot. In next window press 'Selekt kernel to flash' and choose downloaded night-elf kernel.
5. Then disconnect cable. Then press and hold BACK button and connect cable to neo. LED must be blue. Next press flash button and choose Flashmode, select Official FTF you downloaded and press ok.
6. Voialia! 5-6 minutes and your neo is Alive!:fingers-crossed:

I think you are flash the wrong kernel, the kernel you've flashed is for ICS not for GB..
You may just have soft-bricked your phone, but don't fret . My Neo V was also got stuck on the SONY logo yesterday, after I tried to flash a custom ROM. The phone wouldn't even go into recovery mode. I tried many things to get my phone back up again including flashing the stock kernel, but nothing worked, except repairing it through PC Companion.
If nothing else works, you can try the "Repair" option in Sony PC Companion, which will flash your phone with the latest stock ROM and you will have to root it again (if you want). But BEWARE, all your phone data will be LOST, if not already backed up. If you are wondering where to find the "Repair" option in PC Companion, open the software >> Support Zone >> Update Firmware. On this small window where it asks you to connect your phone, you will see the "repair" option just below on this screen.
You may have done many wrong things, you need to divide kernel issues from rom ones.
Anyway you can set back to stock firmware (rom+kernel) flashing the fw you want with flashtool. Full wipe is a must. If you can't enter cwm right now you will lose your rom-data in order to restore phone.
When you flash a kernel you have to check which android rom it is build for (gb, ics, jb), or your phone will not be able to boot.
Then when you flash a rom you have to make full wipe and follow its instructions.
Of course if you flash whole stock firmware you don't have to worry about the things above.
Don't use PC companion, instead use Sony Update Service. If it refuses to help you, then flash fw manually with flashtool.

flash official .62 rom using flash tool and it'll work
then
flash nightelf GB kernel using fastboot or flashtool
after that reflash your rom
