I am trying to activate Wireless Tethering on my "Rooted" Xperia mini
Model: E10i
Firmware:2.1-update 1
Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Kernel: 2.6.29
[email protected] #1
Build: 2.1.1.A.0.6
I tried Open Garden, Barnacle, Wirlesstether, and none of these apps worked.
What happens is that the wifi tethering starts somehow, and other devices such the Transformer (HC) or the PC are able to detect the wireless service, but they are stuck in "Obtaining IP".
Also, I noticed that in whole the apps I tested, the Upload stucked to "0", while the download was active.
The Wifitether app also notified that the Kernel version of my phone was not supporting tethering. But somehow some users affirm that they managed to make it work.
So my Question is basic and simple:
What should I do???
Note that:
- I already tested any possible settings in all the apps.
- I followed some guides but mostly couldn't understand a word since I am not familiar with development terms.
- I of course searched this forum for a solution, but there aren't any specific to this problem.
- In one thread a user confirms that he made it work and the problem was that he needed Iptables.
here is the link:

He shared this link for a solution, which is all gebrish to me:

(Something about Kernel needing IPTable support, not really clear).
Any help would be appreciated.
You could try using a custom kernel like nAa kernel. And nAa MiniCM7. It has tethering built in. (Of course you need to have your bootloader unlocked first.)
tnx for the reply.
I just learned that ICS will come in march for the xperia mini.
I guess it will solve the problem.
Is this a joke?

Xperia x10 mini and xperia mini are different phones. X10 mini (E10i) will not recieve an official ICS-update. Hence, your best option is to unlock you bootloader and change to naa kernel and ROM.

Hi. I own a U20a xperia mini pro with 2.1.A.0.0.6 kernel, and I've flashed CM 6 v4 on it. Now it shows that my phone is a U20i, and as a result 2G and 3G are not working. How can I fix this? I've read a lot of posts at xda, and I still couldn't come up with an answer. Thanks in advance!
Try going to settings, wireless, mobile network then click on access point names. Then choose if your pay as u go or contract etc...

@andy_dunlop thanks for yor answer, but it still doesn't work. Is it possible to change basebands, ie installing u20a after flashing the ROM?
I got it to work by doing the following:
- Restored to the official 2.1.A.0.0.6 using SEUS;
- Checked that I had U20a baseband then, and that I could use 2G and 3G;
- Installed CM 6 Final using the instructions on the official topic;
- Using TIM carrier from Brazil, it works like a charm!
I have a U20a also -
Is your phone still showing as u20i? If so, are you connecting to 3g? (How do you check this?)
Thanks!
U20i is just a string at the ROM build.prop file. AFAIK you can change it to anything you want to. I read somewhere that the baseband is not included in custom ROMs, and that seems to be the case: even though it shows U20i on my phone, in fact I have u20a since this was the one SEUS installed.
You have 3g enabled when you have H or 3g in your notification bar. Hope that helps!
Thanks! That's exactly what I needed to know -
I was used to seeing 3g, but with the current ROM I was seeing "H" and I didnt know exactly what that meant.
I've been using Slade87's Cyanogen Froyo - CM6 v2.1 and it has been great, but as it was loading with the "i", I wanted to make sure that the ROM hadnt disabled my 3g.
I'm less than a week into to the world of Android (and Mini Pro) and am loving it! Thanks for the assistance!
I somehow lost the ability to dual touch.
It started after I installed a Mini rom by accident. I used the sony recovery and that fixed the phone. However my dual touch never came back.
I have tried diff roms and even the manual install "insmod" with with cy8ctma300_ser.ko but no luck!
Any other ideas?

Hey guys, I just installed the rom GingerDX v17 on my x10 mini pro and i am having some small (i think) problems. Ill make a list to make it easier for you to read.
- I flashed with the basic package (gingerDX.zip) but on the post of this rom there are more things to be installed. How could I install the "newCMParts.apk"?
- The second file to be installed is only if I use a stock kernel. How can I discover if my kernel is stock or custom? It says Kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #1 but I have no idea what it means. And if I have to install it I should use the same method of the question above?
- How can I change the keyboard layout? I have a "ç" that is being typed as a ","
- The lights of the keyboard are not turning on, any hint? I searched all configs and I couldnt find how to do it.
- My cellphone reseting randomly, I am running out of battery kinda fast and the wifi not always connect perfectly. Anybody knows something about this? Maybe if I install the file on the same question itll make it better?
Thank you in advance!
Nobody has any hint?
Se xperia mini pro x10
u20i / 2.3.7 / miniCM7Pro v21
ok my issue here is that i can't detect the wifi. It has nothing got to do with the router as i am unable to detect ANY wifi ANYwhere.
This is the 2nd time it happen. i've read somewhere it said to wipe clean, so i did a full wipe and it solve the problem, and it happened again after just one week. I found some others who are having the same issue but those were x8.
Anyone experienced such issue with their mini pro x10 before??? How did u manage to solve it(permanently)??

Hmmm... The same thing happened to me, when I used the miniCM7Pro-v21 ROM. So it has some issues ... I tried to reinstall the ROM, praying that it would be a solution. But that didn't worked out either. And I made a decision ... I flashed to rom with the latest version of the nAa kernel. And installed the MiniCM7-2.2.0 for the Pro version. And it made this bug in the begining just ONCE!!. Hope that would be an answer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------O--------------------------------------------------------------------
IN THE BEGINING :
Sony Ericsson T290i --> Sony Ericsson W300i ( My ex-music man )
THE BREAKTHROUGH :
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro
• Previously :
ROM: MiniCM7Pro v21 Gingerbread 2.3.7
KERNEL : Stock Kernel ( 2.1.1.A.0.6 )
• Now :
ROM : MiniCM7-2.2.0 Gingerbread 2.3.7/CM7.2 unofficial port for the pro
KERNEL : 2.6.29.6-nAa-11
I had simular problem with MiniCM. I think it happened when i told it to forget a LAN while i was connected to it.
I had to tell it to forget all networks, and i could rediscover them and connect to them.

can u give me the link, afraid i will download the wrong rom. thanks mate.
Fredruj
i do not think my issue is the same as your's. it does not even scan for any available wifi and i did not fiddle with anything when the problem happened.
Jinghis

sorry to ask, i am very nub in handphone. So i just need to :-
1 make a back up in cmw?
2 do a clean wipe?
3 flash the rom
4 done?
ok i've read somewhere it says to chg my router to channel 11, and it worked!
but why did it chg suddenly, and how do i go about it, as i cant be requesting every hotspot area i go to to chg their wifi settings.
Hi all,
I have been trying different MiniCM mods on my X10 mini. Currently im using MiniCM7 2.2.0 and I just love it ! I have also been reading a lot of threads, but haven't found any information regarding X10 mini with 4g/Wimax support. I've seen a few threads with CM7 rom that has Wimax included, but none that's made for the X10 mini.
My question is:
Is there any MiniCM rom version that has 4g/Wimax included? Or is there any other rom you can use on an X10 mini that has 4g/Wimax support? Or is that phone not capable of running 4g/Wimax and there will never exist such MiniCM rom?
Best Regards!
Ponderosa
The answer is simple
In order to use 4G/Wimax, the phone needs to have a chip capable of accessing those protocols, and our X-whatever-phone-u-have, ie, at least the 2010 models don't have that capability and it's not possible to emulate that in software.
If you need it, you'll need to get a phone that states it supports it, and in that case, it will also do it on the stock firmware it comes with
