Hey guys............i thought about starting a thread which contains ALL about Xperia Mini!! sooo here it goes...............
ROOT
for rooting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
if you have the 0.62 firmware just flash older fw and root it and again update root will stay http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518562
otherwise you have to unlock bootloader and flash ROM
BOOTLOADER
for unlocking bootloader always use http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
and no need to download the whole SDK you can just download this file....

I'm sorry that I know nothing else except that thread.It included some infos you want
This version is creating many problem while rooting ......
so what is the solution ???
No problem, thanks very much
for neo or for neo v?
can somebody add the ftf file
you can find it at wotanserver....
What I suggest doing to root this version since ftf isn't floating around and wotan crypts their firmware:
1. Testpoint unlock bootloader (free if you have sim unlocked non-carrier). If you have a branded plunk down some dollars for jinx13 or that alejandrissamo (sp?) to do it. This method you can relock later on for warranty concerns. You need fastboot access and BL unlocked, don't whine, just do it.
2. Flash new firmware with wotan, back your stuff up with titanium or whatever beforehand.
3. HOTBOOT inteks kernel (I don't trust it on new build for neo v and I use stock otherwise). This is done by entering fastboot mode and running fastboot boot kernel.img and phone will reboot with inteks. (DO NOT DO FASTBOOT FLASH, JUST FASTBOOT BOOT)
4. Run zergrush tool as normal, phone will root.
5. Reboot and you are back on stock kernel with root access
EDIT: I should note I required this new build as my neo v was affected by random reboot bug on .42, this fixes it. Problem is well documented on SE forums and is neo v specific, neo is fine.

Hey,
I tried to update X10 to gingerbread but cant do it. Is this because AT&T doesn't support it..???
Is there is any way to install official update to Xperia X10...??
and if not than which ROM is better to install on X10...??
Thankyou.
Thats right, ATT does not support ANY updates for the X10. You can download the flash tool and then load the sony ericsson updates for the device.
The instructions for the flash tool are at the top of the Xperia X10 Q&A board.

Yeah get flashtool (it's a sticky in Xperia x10 android development thread) and flash global generic firmware 2.3.3.ftf( link also in flashtool thread) that will put u on stock gb. Then u can use flashtool to root or whatever u need.

Hi everybody,
I'm a noob on xda developers, so I maybe ask bad questions, and i didn't find a similar thread.
I've just rooted my xperia mini pro with superoneclick and installed cwm. Now I want to flash a new rom, but I dont want to unlock my bootloader (my xperia is 4 months old and i dont want to unlock)
Where can i find tutorials and roms for my mini pro, which can be installed with locked bootloader via cwm?
Thanks for reading and please answer
Michi
Stable ROM: Xperia UXT NXP
Unstable, still in testing ROM: GB ExMIUI by expeacer
Both are in development section, go look there. Only these can work with locked bootloader and stock kernel.
So I can't download any rom for my xperia yet?

ok what about this rom?

Galnet miui?
That ROM is for Droid X as far as I can tell. It won't work with mini.
@someguyfromhell, could you please provide a link to Xperia UXT NXP ROM?
I can't seem to find it
Ok then there are only 2 roms i can use? What a pity!
@iONEx here's the link:

You must install it without formatting system or cache first, or it won't work and you'll be unable to boot ur device (like me - but fixed it )
LoL. I saw that thread. Actually I just took a glance, and mistook it for some mod or something.
Talk about n00b
Thanx for the link
I'm having troubles to root my Sony Xperia U ST25a.
I just unlocked the Bootloader *yay! finaly* as I read that it is needed to root using this video: /watch?v=x65ua5x4sMc
But when the Root part comes I'm afraid to use that files because my Phone Software Version is: 6.1.1.B.1.54 and I didn't found any kernel.elf files for this version.
Can someone help me with it not using ST25i way, or a problematic way (yes, I'm noob on it) to root my phone?
I really need to use LEDs-U-CTRL
Thank you all.
NOTE: I already used Xperia P kernels but my phone died and I dont know how I made him alive again.

Use flashtool to flash a stock ICS Firmware.
Root your phone:
1.Method Search rootable stock ICS firmware and kernel. Flash the fw, root the phone with Many Android by Bin4ry. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31545627
Than flash the kernel.
2.Method Flash a prerooted Kernel, like Munjenis's CWM kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934093&highlight=kernel
3.Method Look in the Development Index here
NOTE: I already used Xperia P kernels but my phone died and I dont know how I made him alive again.

Don't use Xperia P kernels for Xperia U!!!
Good morning everybody
As in the title.... I'm newbie with Sony development... My friend has SE Xperia mini PRO as a secondary device
He wants to update it to ICS..... I checked the OTA updates and unfortunately it says "you have the latest version"... Is the GB the latest really???? Surely no
So I tried to search the XDA and found the Middle East update with flashtool
I'm afraid about the bootloader issue..... Do I have to unlock it when I use flashtool??
I read everywhere that I must unlock it if I want to flash custom ROMs and kernels..... But this ROM is stock ICS with a TFT file "flashtool flashable"
This is a link for the ROM's thread
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810037
So my question is... Do I have to unlock the bootloader before flashing this??
Notice: the device runs on factory functions ( Stock 2.3.4 GB.. not rooted or modified yet )
Please help
Nope no need to unlock bootloader to use flashtool.
Just connect it in flashmode (turn off, vol down + connect) and choose flashmode in flashtool
Regards
-N
no need to unlock bl buddy! just flash using flashtool. remember to install adb for your phone!
Nope
You only need to unlock your bootloader if you're gonna install a custom kernel. So, no need to do so. You can flash it to ICS via Flashtool with an FTF file.
