[Q] Need help in recovering semi-bricked X10 mini - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Good day everyone.
I accidentally flashed MiniCM9 on my X10 Mini.
nAa's thread in X8 forum said "MiniCM9 is built for the X8 / x10mini / x10minipro range", but in fact it only works on X8.
I was able to re-flash nAa's v11 kernel for X10 Mini back using Flashtool.
But the problem now is, how do I flash a ROM using Flashtool?
I tried to re-flash the latest MiniCM7 RAR file, but Flashtool cannot read the file.
Can anyone direct me to a ROM file for X10 Mini that Flashtool can detect?
I can't find any link(s) to X10 Mini ROMs using Flashtool.
EDIT:
BTW, do I need to flash a stock kernel instead of nAa's custom kernel?
In that case, can anyone re-direct me to the download links for X10 Mini stock kernel flashable via Flashtool?
Thanks.

just install MiniCM7 via cwm after u flash the nAa kernel.. but u must wipe data/factory reset first.. then install zip from sd card.. navigate where u put the cm7 .zip file

SOLVED!
After flashing the nAa kernel, I was able to access CWM via holding Back button after reboot.
I was able to restore a NANDROID backup of MiniCM7 (I made sure to backup before flashing to MiniCM9 )
Now everything's back in working condition.

I'm using nAa kernel v0.9 and his rom CM7 2.1.7 for x10 mini pro, best rom and kernel for our little phones
SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) is possibly the simplest to go back to stock as you don't have to worry about downloading the right rom and kernel and all of that. Just install, run and have a cup of coffee while you wait.
It doesn't root or install CWM though.
By the way, what problems are you having with the rom and kernel?

Stock!!! Whz would someone wanted to go back on stock?
Have you try minicm7 2.1.7 + nAa 09 kernel ??
I just flashed to miniCM 2.1.7 + nAa-09. Very satisfied! as I always am with MiniCM
Feel-good-story:
I was in the process of buying a new phone about a half a year ago when I decided to try a custom rom (miniCM). After that I felt like I got my new phone, and it's still going strong...
I actually think I would rather use my old Nokia 6100 instead of a X10 mini with stock rom!

[Q] MiniCM7Pro v21 - WiFi not working

Hi, I just flashed my X10 Mini Pro to MiniCM7 Pro V21. I have kernel from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201116
And now when I try to turn on wifi there's only "error".
I have readed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450511#21507954 but I don't have wpa_supplicant.conf file in /data/misc/wifi/. What should I do?
Sorry for my english
This ROM is for stock kernel....
Did you flashed any other kernel??? or using stock kernel only
I have this - 2.6.29.6-perf [email protected] #1. I downloaded it on MiniCM7Pro thread.
Where can I download stock kernel?
factory reset in sues should help.. then u get a stock kernel.. later do this same what u already done again but without flashing kernel.. good luck and enjoy your new rom...

First you flash latest stock rom (.62) via flash tool.
If it is not working then
first flash x kernel via flashboot mode in flash tool
install ROM (hybrom v10) via CWM.
After that install ROM (hybrom v12) via CWM without wiping any data, cache partition and dalvik cache.
hope it will help you to solve this touchscreen problem.
@jk347.. can u upload the hybrom v10 since hybrom now is closed
@someguy.. im using realics v4 for xperia mini pro (mango)
guys can you upload via flash the touch screen drivers? if possible?

thanks jk347.. btw you also encountered this matter before? should i try hybromv17 instead of v10? why is it v10 not the latest one which is v17 ?
EDIT: could you please upload stock rom .62? coz mine is .42 is it ok to flash even if not .62?
I encountered error when flashing .62 --> never got success. But nothing problem when flashing .42. :beer:
Sent from my SK17i using xda app-developers app
when I flashing hybrom v17 in .42 gets stuck in sony logo.. can u upload guys the stock rom of .62 ftf files?
Hybrom requires unlocked bootloader and custom kernel to run.
For stock firmware files, check my signature link.
@someguy.. yes i already unlocked bootloader .. and use xkernel for the hybromv17.. since I used .42 when i flash xkernel and install custom kernel gets stock at logo.. but when I used .62 it works..now i dont see any .62 ftf here for mini pro ..

[REQ] Xperia mini pro sk17i 4.0.2.A.0.58 stock kernel

Could someone please host xperia mini pro sk17i 4.0.2.A.0.58 stock kernel, just the kernel. I've made a nandroid backup, but when i'm trying to restore it, i'm having a bootloop, i guess i need to flash the kernel after i flash with a custom one. Tried to search in this forum, but no success. Or is it any other method to which i can extract the kernel from nandroid backup? Currently i'm using kamarush v3 kernel with cwm v5.0.27. thanks in advance.

I searched for the kernel, too. Just flash the kernel.sin from the .58 ftf.
Or try Rage Kernel for 2.3.4 or X kernel
Download this ftf file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341460
and use Flashtool to flash just kernel.sin .(uncheck everything else )
That should be equivalent to flashing stock kernel

i've read those thread, but that's not what i'm looking for. The whole ftf file is 260 mb while the kernel only would be aroud 10-15 mb in size. What I'm looking for is stock GB kernel only.

Yes it works with rage kernel for 2.3.4. It works great, I tried it!
The thing with the kernel is okay, but if it doesn't work flash the whole rom, don't exclude anything, your phone will boot up. Root it and install cwm. Then you can restore your old backup...

[Q] X10 Mini E10i with Locked Bootloader

hi! I have x10 mini e10i and want to install custom rom even if its just running on 2.2 or 2.3.
My phone is 2.1-update 1, rooted, cwm installed but locked bootloader.
I can see some post that you can install custom rom on locked bootloader and stock kernel
Can someone make a "NEW" tutorial on how to install custom rom on locked bootloader on x10 mini e10i (not pro).
Thanks.

Please use SE tweaker tool to root and install CWM Recovery. SE Tweaker tool (also works on X10 mini): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462278
Then restart your phone and press the back button repeatedly to boot into CWM Recovery. Wipe data/factory reset then flash the ROM that you want.

but im already rooted and have cwm recovery installed. Is that is another way of installing custom rom on locked bootloader?

You have to use a ROM that supports the stock kernel. So all you do is download a ROM zip and flash CWM Recovery. An example is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201116 It should work on X10 Mini BTW.

I finally installed cm6 on my phone. But i still have problem. It always restarting after the sony ericsson text (not the logo) but sometimes it can open 'til the homescreen but still it will shut down automatically.
I tried pc companion but when i try to connect my phone, its just restarting all over. I thought if I would install a custom rom, it will repair the phone.
What's the difference between flashing the phone via pc companion and installing custom rom via cwm recovery?

PC companion flashes stock ROM while CWM is used for flashing custom ROMs. I suggest you to use flashtool to flash a stock ROM

Flashing the 2.1 FTF with flashtool will reset your whole phone and it should fix your problem. If it doesn't, it means that you have a hardware problem.
can you give me a link of 2.1.1.A.0.6 tft for e10i?

You can use the 2.1.1.C.0.0 ROM. It was an update for the x10 mini pro in certain areas, but it will run on the x10 mini too, since there is no hardware specific stuff in the ROM itself. You will probably lose root and cwm though when you flash it.
I've got an 'undressed' 2.1.1.A.0.6 I made for myself in zip-format which includes root and cwm, but i took out all the google stuff, so there's no market in it.
If you want to know if your phone is ok, just wipe everything and install the 2.1.1.C.0.0.
