Hi Guys!!
I apologize in advance for being such a n00b ... buuut here is my problem :
I want to try to downgrade my X10 mini pro ( U20i ) from 2.1.1.C.0.0 to 2.1.1.A.0.6 and the first ( and best as they say ) solution I find is the Flash Tool... so I downloaded the version 0.6.8.0. , and I also have a SE PC Companion. Sadly haven't got a backup ftf file... so I downloaded one... and every time I try to flash it... it brings up one error :
ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
What is that mean? Or what would I messed up? I have tried many times to search for it in the whole x10mini/mini pro forum threads but no success at all. I have Rooted the little fellow, and also put a xRec on it, no problem at all... but with flashing... its getting on my nerves. So could you help me please, or give me a hint, I really show my gratitude for it.
Ps: I Really sorry if I'm a n00b, simply I'n really new for this.
Sorry ... figured out myself ^^'

repairing the phone
if you had the same problem, just download Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0, open it, and click in support zone, then upgrade phone(i don't know what is written but in portuguese it is ''atualizar telefone'') next click repair phone(i don't know this one too, but in portuguese is ''reparar o telepone)and then just follow the instructions in the screen
sorry for my bad english
hi
i installed latest CM7 into my x10 mini, which required the kernel 2.6.29
but it freezes when (sony ericsson) appears at the beginning of the startup
it freezes for hours, so please if anyone of you knows the solution, i appreciate
and also if anyone of you gives me the link to download the .ftf firmware file of 2.1
because i found many firmwares, but all of them are .sin, and i don't know what to do with them, flashtool doesn't find them

the last miniCM7 requires a custom kernel& unlocked bootloader.
you can't use it with stock SE kernel, sorry
repaire with SEUS or if your phone has an unlocked bootloader, flash nAa's kernel
first i am sorry for the position of the thread, i didn't post, i asked a friend to do it
second i really appreciate your help friends and thank you alot
from your help i understand that i must first unlock the bootloader, then flash the kernel and finally install cyanogenmod 7, am i right??

the (best) way :
unlock your bootloader
install miniCM7 2.0.7 (to maximise the compatibility/minimise problems ) it works with stock kernel and a little with custom...
flash the nAa_kernel04
Install miniCM7 2.1.2
read my FAQ, and the dedicated thread about miniCM7 and the kernel before trying anything
you will find 2.0.7 here

if you are installing older version of MiniCM then try going to recovery mode and wipe battery stats then reinstall it will work hopefully
and then you can crack bootloader and install Custom kernel as matmutant said

There is no official ICS firmware for our devices, SE never even gave us a frozen yogurt, so the only way to get ICS on your phone is either MiniCM9 or this one, which is based on ICS sources.
Oh, I thought that you was searching a kernel for android 4.0.4 . The thread i gave include's a link to a kernel that support android 4.0.4 (CM9).
great thanks SmG67 .... is there any way to adapt the SK17i file for the U20i ?

Nope, sorry, the SK17i runs on a newer SoC than ours, and they're not compatible.
You would have to recompile it all from source, which is what the provided links have already done for us , they are really the only options for our phones.
ok; we'll keep CM9 .... great thanks SmG67

upgrading new u20i
Hi guys, I'm new here. I recently bought new xperia mini pro u20i and I don't really like the old OS in it. Thought to upgrade to ICS but the problem is that I'm not experienced at all in these android update&upgrade things. (I'm mostly a computer guy ) I've read instructions how to upgrade etc.. but I'm not risking do it alone although I rooted my phone few hours earlier (whatever that means ) I need someone experienced to show me either on Skype or any other IM step-by-step how to upgrade my OS before I go crazy about it ICS seems like a cool upgrade and I want to try it out. Reply here or PM me, doesn't matter. Please just help me to accomplish this task. Appreciate it. Thanks in advance ))

Start thinking of your phone as a computer... It will make things easier.
Root access (which is easy to come by on Windows, but usually needs a password on linux) allows you to tinker with your system-files.
And there is a tutorial around here somewhere, where the poster has gone through the trouble of making screenshots for every step needed, so maybe you could search for that.
Hello, friends. I'm writting to ask you for a help, because i have a very big problem.
Some time ago I installed wrong ROM for my Xperia Mini, which was made for Xperia Pro.... I found some good ideas and offers in this forum, like install lastest firmware .62 with FlashTool and then rom, for example, hybrom_v10 via Recovery Mode (CWM). The main problem is I cannot install ROM, because my phone is totally wiped now (there is no CWM). Secondly, I cannot install CWM because i can't enable USB Debugging because of the TouchScreen, which is NOT WORKING. I've been serching for some information a lot about this, but nothing helped..... If you know the solution, PLEASE help me some how, i don't know what to do and I really need to fix this phone. Thank you for your attention.

You don't need USB debugging to install CWM! Just flash any kernel that has cwm in it. Almost all the custom kernels have cwm. If you haven't unlocked your bootloader, then I suggest that you do it so that you can flash a kernel which has cwm.
Maybe you should unlock your bootloader, because after that you can flash a custom kernel that has cwm built in
Sorry, did not see abcdjdj's post, was writing mine while he posted his one

There are numerous threads on the touchscreen issue, they're as annoying and as common in this section as best ROM threads are in the Arc section, so I'm not sure why People can't find the solution.
Thank you very much ! Now on the last step left. I installed .62 firmware, hybrom. TouchScreen still not working, but I will figure out how to fix it from orhers threads, well, i hope.
