Hi everybody and merry christmas!!
So i've a problem with my mini pro sk17. It was unlocked, rooted and with latest firmware 0.58.
I've tried to install hybrid rom v4.5, so for that, i put cwm on my phone. I entered it one time (for installaing the rom) and since, no way to get it back! I 've read the thread about cwm installed, and there is one post wich talk about this issue (missed it of course before flashing!!!!gggrrrrrr): now my phone stay at sony ericsson logo.
Flashtool doesn't work on my pc (java problem, but can't resolve it)
I can put my phone in fastboot mode, but when i try to install another recovery, it says that i'm not root, but yes i am.
Nothing else works. Is there a way to erase completely the phone and push back stock rom or something like that?
Thanks for help.

First of all some questions.
How did you install CWM?
What version of CWM did you run?
Is it nAa's recovery?
I think that your recovery is not able to install custom roms and that it has been deleted during the installation of hybrom.
To install a fully functional CWM and to be able to flash custom roms,you will need to install a custom kernel first, that contains CWM.This can be done only by using fastboot.So you better try and make it work...
Hi, thanks for the reply,
the cwm i've installed was with SE extrem tweak installer found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346190
but i don't know wich version it was.
Yes i've already tried with flasboot, but the problem is that, when i push the kernel, it says that i'm not root!!
Is there a way to get root with fastboot or adb? cause superone cliq or doomlord script root don't work until my phone is not fully started.
I get adb working some times, but i'm not sure i can do something with it.
Bye

If fastboot says that you are not root, then your bootloader is still locked.Unlock your bootloader (visit this page:http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions)
and then flash whatever kernel you want....
Yeahhhhh,
it works!!
Thanks a lot, you're a god for me!!
It is strange cause, it wasn't bootlaoder locked before, so that's why i didn't try to unlock it first. For me it was already unlocked.
So, it's great now i can't do what i want.
HAve a nice day.
Thanks again.

guys i just root my X10 mini and i need upgrading android to 2.3...does need to create ROM or just download android 2.3 file install it???i need your respone and a helping hand...thanks
Please use the search function the next time. For your convenience Click Here
And try this custom ROM for starters. It doesn't require you to unlock boot loader and install a custom kernel.
and when you know how to use the search function then I know for sure you can manage to unlock your boot loader and can flash a custom ROM
lol. they will so kill you for this question. It's forbidden to be a noob in these forums.
Here are the steps you must follow in "search" terms:
1. Root (obviously you already did).
2. Unlock bootloader. (google the hell out of it, search these forums. To install a new rom you need to install a new kernel. For a new kernel you need to unlock the bootloader. Search "How to Unlock the bootloader"). You will need your PC.
3. Flash a new Kernel and Install CWM recovery. Generally just flashing the kernel takes care of the CWM installation. (It's some kind of android bios you must install first thing after having unlocked the bootloader. Check "flashtools" and "how to flash a kernel" guides). You'll need your PC.
4. Flash the ROM. It's the easiest part. It's done by hard reseting the phone. check "How to flash a ROM".
gl dude.
There's nothing wrong with being noobish. Everyone is a noob at some point. This is my first Android anything and I knew absolutely nothing before I came here: "Root? Custom rom? ClockworkMod Recovery? What the hell does any of it mean?!"
But there's a fine line between asking noob questions and asking noob questions without doing any research. But hey..at least the OP was polite.

the line would be drawn like n00b vs n3wbi3. n00b - as what my sig says and n3wbi3 - doesn't ask unless there's a prob or question that needs to be clarified. i was once a n00b but know where to start and that is hitting the start button.

Doing your research... Just about every current iteration of GB-Roms for the X10Mini requires a custom kernel, The installation instructions for the ROM you linked to clearly states to unlock the bootloader and install nAa-08 kernel.
If you want to point people to ROMS that run on stock kernel, stick to froyo/CM6.
plz reply me
plz answer my problem
First of all, you lost your network-capability when you unlocked your bootloader, so i hope you made a backup of your orignal firmware. Restore that and then relock the bootloader, your network capability should hopefully come back
You can't run any Gingerbread roms if you're on the X10Mini with a locked bootloader, you'll have to stick with older Froyo (2.2) Roms, just make sure the ROM you choose does not require a custom kernel. The older ones probably have to be installed with Xrecovery too, instead of CWM, use flashtool to get XRecovery onto your phone.

It isnt SIM lock, it is SEMC SIMLOCK CERTFICATE. Try S1Tool what it says.
I have the same problem and I solve like in this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225

No need to shout, not every x10 mini or x10mini pro comes with a semc-simlock certificate, if your phone is simlocked by your provider, s1tool gives you simlock-certificate not recognised.
If you unlock the bootloader on such a phone, it is most likely it will disable your radio-capability.
So everytime someone unlocks their bootloader and gets no service anymore, relocking is the only option, and then sim-unlock their phone using Omnius, or (the safest way) with an EMMA/IMEI code from their network-provider.
After that you can unlock the bootloader safely.
problem occured in upgrading
dear sir i already locked my boot loader. but i cant upgrade firmware or flash through sony companion and SEUS. how can i upgrade or restore my firmware. its shown only "Sony Ericsson" in WHITE LETTERS. plz resolve my problem.
its occured any error in flashing? any different kernal is there?
I am on custom ROM right now, phone is rooted though and just unlocked the bootloader a couple days back. I was wondering, if I flashed the nAa-11 kernel, will I still be able to use stock ROM on it until I install some GB ROM? Or do I have to flash the GB ROM right after flashing the nAa-11 kernel for the phone to work?
Just for the record, I like doing one thing at a time then checking if phone is fully stable before moving to the next step... Makes me TOO nervous
The ROM's are all compiled against a particular kernel, so stock rom won't work on the nAa-kernel, and most GB-roms won't work on the stock kernel.
You want to flash the nAa-11 kernel, do a reboot, and press the back-button several times until you get into CWM That's as sure as you can be that everything is stable at that point.
Then you can do the usual steps for installing the ROM, (Wipe data, cache, etc., install from sd-card)
If you forgot to put the ROM on your sd-card you can connect your phone through CWM in the mounts and storage section, mount usb-storage) and then copy the ROM to your phone.
Hi
I have one of those xperia s where the bootloader cant be unlocked , I´ve long giving up hope of changing rom but i just stumble upon http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2099499
Happy enough that I´ll give it another go just to realise the only way to flash it is with fastboot which requires unlocked bootloader
anyway to get around this problem or just wait for a .zip? Or any other ideas?
I have installed CWM recovery on phone,fastboot and ADB on win7.
hey guys
so after much work i finally unlocked BOOTLOADER with the long method here:
http://users.telenet.be/dvd/Unlock bootloader Sony Xperia Tablet Z.htm
(ps. any way to double check inside the device that its unlocked?)
after that i rooted with Vroot - and i can give root permission.
now i cant for teh life of me install a costume recovery! i think i tried everything out there but im doing something wrong and need help!
i tried goomanager, i tried FASTBOOT which for some reason i cant seem to get it to work... any help would be nice..
and after that i need CM so if anyone helps and can tell me if theres even a working CM for this device that would rock!

hi still looking for help with my avoca android tablet. it doesnt boot up into android operating system just stuck on boot screen but can go into recovery mode with things like reboot now, update rkimage and so on.
i have tried to root it with an app called kingo root and says its rooted but i have tried to install a custom rom but nothing happens says aborted. is there anything i can do bare in mind i cannot access the tablet to turn usb debugging on and nothing else. if there is a thread here that will help and get things working again then id be really grateful or if someone can tell me what to do any help will be appreciated.
Well first off root will not allow you to flash a custom rom. You need an unlocked bootloader as well as a custom recovery. Your best bet would be find the stock image and flash that to get it running again and then take a week and do some reading and learn what your doing
I no what I'm doing I just can't find the things I need as the company no longer exist and I've searched hi and lo for a copy of their stock rom but nothing if I had that I no il be ok. But not sure how to unlock bootloader as I've used adb and fastboot but it don't work says waiting for device. Any pointers please

That is one of the biggest issues with cheap devices like this. You will most likely never find drivers or the stock rom for it. The best thing you might be able to pull off is porting a rom from a similar device.
Thanks yeah I think it's my only hope all I got to go by really is that this model of tablet uses jelly bean 4.2 as stock, so may see if can flash a stock rom from googles dev site as they have different model stock rims and just hope that one works. Il try nexus stock one first see if get lucky if not just work done the list. What do you recommend I do first shall I unlock bootloader first even though the command doesn't work in fastboot says device null or waiting when I type fastboot oem unlock. Or am I better starting off with a stock rom using adb? Also what recovery do you recommend I've used twrp and clockwork. Thanks
I'm trying to side load twrp using adb and all I get is opening update package, verifying update package, then installation failed do you no what I'm doing wrong
