Why I always be brick after flash nAn 08 kernel? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Im trying up my mini to GingerDX (follow stelios97's guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200675)
My FW is 2.1.1.A.0.6 already
My Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
I did root, xRecovery and unlock BL my mini successully.
Now I only have to flash nAa 08 Kernel to be able to install GingerDX, I use flashtool 0.5.3 to flash E10_nAa-08_2.6.29.6-nAa-08.ftf to my phone in order:
- copy file E10_nAa-08_2.6.29.6-nAa-08.ftf to Flashtool\firmwares
- run flashtool
- run flash -> flashmode and choose E10 nAn-08 -> OK
- turned off phone, hold back and plug in
- flashing
- done
- brick
I tried 3 time and always be brick, I have to plug out the battery cab to turn off then flash firmware 2.1.1.A.0.6 again.
So what did I miss? Is there any other way to flash my kernel to nAa-08?

What do you mean by "brick" ?
Are you able to enter the CWM menu ? (click Back when boot logo appears)

My problem:
After flash that kernel, my phone reboot, I see one nAa kernel logo (some triangle and circlea with black and red color) then my display be dark and nothing happen, no boot, no led when plug cab, just like a brick. I have to plug out battery cab to turn off my phone. If I turn it on, everything will happen like that. Only one way that plug out battery cab to turn off then flash stock FW 2.1.1.A.0.6
I tried flash nAa 10 kernel but still be brick like that

My opinion is that this kernel is not for stock ROM.
After having flashed this kernel you have to flash a CM7 ROM (GingerDX or MiniCM7).
To do so, you have to have copied the zip file of the ROM on your SDCard, then flash the kerner using flashtool, then enter to CWM by pressing the back button (press several times) as soon as you see the nAa kernel logo, then wipe all and select your zip to upgrade.

I didnt install CWM, can use xRecovery instead of CWM to install GingerDX.zip in SD card?

If you flash nAa kernel it will install CWM. Use this to flash the ROM.

But my phone have xRecovery already, if flash nAa kernel, can be clash between CWM (from nAa kernel) and xRecovery when I press back when booting?

When flashing, my phone is reboot and then appear nAa kernel logo and recovery mode. I use various way to fix but not working.
No boot with phone system.
based on android 2.1
How can i fix?
Help me.
Sorry for my English.
nAa kernel is calculated for android 2.3.X and above. This kernel won't see based firmware, so flash the stock one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403808, then copy 2.3.X firmware to your root folder on CDCard, flash nAa kernel, enter recovery(hold back button when kernel's bootlogo appears) and install the rom. If you have already moved firmware to your cd card, just boot into recovery and flash it

ROM problem

I have a week trying to install a new ROM to my phone (xperia mini pro). I follow the instructions, install the recommended kernel for each Rom. When i finish installing the ROM i reboot the phone put the kernel logo and don't do anything else (the last time i let it in the kernel logo for 10 hours and it didn't work).
I fix it using Wotan server. But what i really care about is that i want to prove new Rom, so if someone can help me i will be really thankful.
PS: Sorry if you think my english is bad, is because my main language is not english

Hello,
I'm having the same problem, I don't get it at all. I bought my Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) yesterday and so far I have been only able to flash stock rom and MiniCMSandwich AOSP Android 4.0.4 RC3, both of which work fine.
With all other roms I get stuck on the logo (depending on kernel - Sony, Sony Ericsson or Free Xperia logo). I do full wipe, dalvik cache etc. but nothing helps.
So far I tried: FXP 117 7.2.0, FXP 117 9.0.0 and XROM™ ICS RC7.
I tried different basebands, flashing in different order etc., no matter what I get stuck on the logo.
Could someone post a detailed step-by-step instruction how to flash either FXP or the XROM on the Mini Pro? Which baseband should I use (and how do I know it's the baseband's fault when the rom doesn't work), what about Wi-Fi etc.
I flashed Galaxy S+ (I9001) before and didn't have any of these issues.

I do exactly as it says. I had to flash stock rom before that, because update zip wouldn't work if I started from AOSP (or if I wanted to apply it after flashing FXP)
BTW, do I really have to flash stock ftf (kernel+baseband), which overwrites my CWM each time I want to flash FXP? I hate losing CWM.
Anyway, I did this:
1. I put the update.zip on the sdcard
2. I flashed the boot.img I unpacked from the update.zip using fastboot (went fine)
3. I applied update.zip using CWM
4. I did factory reset from CWM and wiped dalvik cache
After reboot - it hangs on the Free Xperia logo. I also tried flashing Rage kernel 2.8 with the same result. Oh, and does it matter if I flash kernel before or after the rom?

rage kernel is not compatible with cm7,
mostly kernel is flashed before the rom, but either way should work i guess..

That's because for some stupid reason you formatted the system partition, which must not be done on some ROM installations.
The CM7 installation requires info from the system folder, but since you formatted it, you don't have the info on your phone and installation cannot be installed.
Reinstall stock firmware, follow the same procedure, but do NOT format system, but do make factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Well, I was asked to try formatting /system.
Ok, again then. BTW, is there a pre-rooted .62 stock rom somewhere? I only see .69, which isn't good AFAIK.

did i brick my lww?

im using flashing .58 via flash tool and it said - android version/kernel version:-exec'/system/bin/sh'failed: No file or directory(2)-
First you power off your phone then hold the volume down button then connect to flashtool to flash firmwares
And you need adb drivers installed, find them in the flashtool folder or just download my app (romhub.codeplex.com)

I don't get it. Why exactly can't you flash with flashtool? No PC?
If you can get into flashmode, then flashtool should work just fine.
In most cases, getting stuck on the SE logo means you've got a kernel-ROM mismatch. Flashing the correct kernel should allow the ROM to boot. Mind telling which kernel & ROM you're on?
Sometimes it happens

Noob question. Please don't ignore

Hello, I own an Xperia Mini ST15i, and I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone. Now I would like to flash a custom kernel and a custom ROM. I have read really a lot on this forum, but "the more I read the more I am confused". I have never done this before (aside from rooting my Nook Simple Touch with Touchnooter). Thats why I need your confirmation about the steps I am going to do next on my phone, because I don't want to mess things up.
This is my current phone configuration:
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
Build number: 4.1.B.0.431
I would like to flash this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709032
and this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705255
I downloaded all the files,including the new wifi modules, and copied them into the SD card of the phone. At this point I am asking for help, how to proceed, step by step.
On my computer, I have installed the Android SDK and Flashtool 0.9, on the phone I installed the ROM manager from Clockworkmod, premium version.
Thank you for your help.
hmmm...since you have download all files i suggest you flash the kernel first using flashtool....it got per-rooted and CWM along with it...this can help you alot....
after flashing kernel you can boot into CWM, make backup before you start flashing ROM that you have download....
Flash Kernel
Go To CWR
Do Wipe for all Data/Cache/System (From Mount Partitions Entry)
Do Wipe for Dalvik Cache (from Advanced Entry)
Flash the Rom
Flash Fixes and AddOns if Your Device requires any
Then Flash the WiFi Modules

Edit: the file containing the new kernel has got a .img sufix, instead of .zip. Is CWM able to flash .img files? And if so, what is better, flashing it in CWM recovery in the phone, or through Flashtool 0.9?

Due to an unexpected holiday I postponed the flashing to this weekend. One more question: How do I access the CWM recovery in ST15i? I tried holding volume down button while booting, I tried pressing it constantly, tried to press it while the SONY logo glowed more, but nothing happened. (the kernel is not flashed yet)

if you haven't flash the kernel then you cannot boot into CWM yet (unless you have install CWM using other method).....if you already flash the kernel then when your boot the phone, look at the Sony logo and the LED....once the LED is blink (blue colour) then press the volume down to enter CWM....
And if the kernel doesn't use led while seting up try to see with the back key light I think
Cause I know some kernel who doesn't have it
Thank you all for your advice. Kernel and ROM flashed, everything works like a charm.

Please flash a stock rom (ftf file) with flashtool first. If your device doesn't boot after this, then it is a real problem. Remember to wipe data.
Hi,
I started out by unlocking the bootloader and it worked fine.
I tried to boot the CM image file, it was always giving me an error in Fastboot mode saying that outside range or so.
Then I downloaded Rage and tried to fastboot that image, after several trials, I can no longer start my phone.
Thank you

There are download links in the sticked thread by someguyfromhell, download a ftf for your device
Open flashtool and click the flash, flashmode, select the ftf and click okay.
Now take out the battery of your phone, wait a few seconds, insert battery again, hold volume down, connect usb to pc while holding volume down, the green led will light up. The flashing process will start and when it's finished you will get a working rom again :good:
Or you could try to download a kernel for your device (like rage kernel), take off battery, insert it, hold volume up, connect it to pc while holding volume up, start flashtool, click the flash, fastboot mode, select the boot.img for your device, click ok. That's it

Yes, of course. For any further questions, just ask :good:
By the way: You first flashed rage kernel and after that the stock.ftf? Because the stock ftf has overwritten your rage kernel. You have to flash the kernel after the ftf

Okay to install cm10 do this:
1. Download cm-10 from FXP for mango and the gapps for jelly bean 4.1 (search on google)

How would I use the backedup stock? What's the case, and how to restore, by just going to recovery and restore?
Thanks

If you have made a cwm backup of stock rom or stock based rom, then when you are on the fxp kernel, do not restore the backup. Firstly, if you want to restore the cwm backup then flash rage kernel or any stock ics based kernel and then go to restore in cwm. You cannot use stock rom with fxp kernel because the kernel configurations are for cm and not stock.
Press Thanks if I helped

Like the guys above said, flash rage kernel and afterwards restore the backup. This is if you want to come back to stock rom one time
I am on CM10 from FXP but made some changes by M66B (SK17 user too)
Look on my signature to download the last version of the extended ROM. Battery improvement on this ROM is one of the main features
Works the same or better than FXP one. The boot.img comes inside with the ROM zip file, just follow the steps listed by mihahn. Last version to this date is 202 ("~FXP202 features 1-3,7-9,12-13,23-24,26,28-38,40-42 (January 11, 2013)" that's the name of the zip file)
