I have just purchased a brand new X10 Mini Pro and although I love it, I have an issue with upgrading the phone's firmware to the newest version.
I currently have Android 1.6 ; Kernel version 2.6.29 ; Build number 1.2.A.1.174.
Model number is U20i, while Baseband version is "Unkown". The phone was purchased in Telenor and I believe it is locked to this network.
Any thoughts? I'd really love a new firmware.
I have tried both the built in software in the phone and PC Companion, but both give the same error.
Any ideas? Could I safely flash it using a 3rd party flash program?
After being advised on the Sony Ericsson support boards to follow instructions given in this thread, I have encountered an issue.
The files in the UK firmware supplied in the first posts need to be bundled (.sin files) in order to work. My bundle contains the following files:
amss.sin
amss_fs.sin
cache.sin
fota0.sin
fota1.sin
kernel.sin
simlock.ta
system.sin
userdata.sin
I have created a firmware, but I am not sure if it is safe to flash it this way. Can anyone confirm that this is how it's supposed to be, or am I doing something wrong?
Hello all,
I followed the [HOW-TO]UNLOCK bootloader for X10, and now i cannot use my SIM card : when i put it in the X10, it boot, i have the sony ericsson logo, then i type my PIN number and ... nothing ... blue screen (wallpaper), i cant go anywhere.
I tried many things :
> boot the X10 without SIM card => it's ok, no problem
> i insert the SIM card in an other phone => it's ok
So i :
> Installed 2.3.3 firmware via SEUS => blue screen after type pin code
> Installed 2.1 firmware via Flashtool => blue screen after type pin code
> Installed 1.6 firmware via Flashtool => blue screen after type pin code
> Downgraded Azuzu Kernel => blue screen after type pin code
> Upgraded Azuzu Kernel => blue screen after type pin code
> Installed DooMKernel-v05 => blue screen after type pin code
> I tried qsd8250_semc.cmd => blue screen after type pin code
> Then qsd8250_setool2.cmd => blue screen after type pin code

I have no more idea ... And you ?
Thanks you !!
I have the same problem. No SIM card is detected after unlocking bootloader. Any fix for this?
EDIT:
Well, I finally solved the SIM card problem. I restored the original x10 bootloader, hope it helps!
Here's the link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17494360
i dont think theres any fix for this atm... but if unlocked properly then the sim card should be read !!
well you should restart the whole process of unlocking the bootloader but make sure you are eligible for it. and instead of the application you first used to unlock the bootloader use the other one because i remember it coming with two applications
you are the man....very great solution
Feel lucky
I had the same problem but I can't restore my bootloader so I'm kinda screwed
network problem
I`ve posted my problem in several forums here in XDA, but I got no answer. Mine is kind of the same as yours, so here it goes. I`ve flashed cnm7 on my x10. The phone is locked on Vodafone Spain. I thought that if I change the software, it will allsow unlock the network, but no.
When i`ve inserted my other SIM card, the phone didn`t ask me for the network code, as it did before flashing.
and i thought that it was unlocked, but no. It`s like i don`t have network coverage.
And when I`m trying to manualy find the available networks, i get the messege "error finding networks".
I get this message with both SIM cards inserted. I`m saying both, because I only have the network problem when
i insert any other SIM card, besides the Vodafone one... Please, really need help, because I`m gonna leave Spain
and need to use my own SIM card. Thanks in advance!
Sorry if i shouldn`t post this here, but anywhere else i got no answer...

Hello everyone,
i've been waiting for the official lollipop update and today I noticed that my region already got it (CDA: 1281-4642 Operator: CostumizedPT Latest Release: 23.1.A.0.726 / R4C as seen on XperiFirm) I confirmed on build.prop and my Xperia Z2 is indeed using the 1281-4642, yet I'm not getting the update.
I then tried to install it my self using Sony Mobile Flasher, I followed all the procedures but when I do the final step to flash the firmware I get this error:
14/017/2015 14:17:28 - INFO - Processing loader.sin
14/017/2015 14:17:28 - INFO - Checking header
14/017/2015 14:17:28 - ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.
14/017/2015 14:17:28 - INFO - Ending flash session
14/017/2015 14:17:28 - ERROR - Error in processHeader : 1 : Incorrect function.
14/017/2015 14:17:28 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
I looked around and this seems to be related to corrupt Firmwares, however I tried 2 different ones (CostumizedPT and VodafonePT) and both gave me the same error. I also tried 2 different USB Cables.
Does anyone know why this could be happening?
Same for me, got it last week, checked system update, nothing. Connected to the PC companion and still no updates "Your device is up to date" I have the D6503 eu / Uk amazon unlocked version. When I do a flash through the software I'm back onto kit kat.. Very annoying when I need to utilise my SD card with app data.
