i want gingerbread 2.3 sony stock rom , is there any flashable zip files for it ? or atleast i want the stock firmware download link? can someone plzzzz giv me that
All 2010 devices from sony ( x10, x8, x10 mini, x10 mini pro and whatever i forgot to mention ) have been given an update to Android 2.1 (Eclair) and that's it.
There is no Stock Rom for our devices from there on, so no Froyo or Gingerbread. The reason this site exists is to allow us to bypass the limitations set by the hardware manufacturers and run software beyond what they give us.
So, if you want Froyo or Gingerbread.. run a custom rom, you can find many of them in the development section of this forum. If you want Gingerbread or ICS stock.. buy a newer device from Sony

Just in case you're not aware of it, your phone needs an unlocked bootloader to do that, pay very close attention to see if your simlock-certificate is supported, otherwise you will lose the capability to use it as a phone.
Kernel: nAa kernel for gingerbread
Rom:MiniCM7-2.2.0
Sony style: Sony Ericsson Stock Mod
Have fun with it

Hi, Im not that good with all this root, custom roms and stuff. I did root my device though. My xperia x10. I got 2.1 rooted.
I read about everything with custom roms everywhere and everytime i read about android.
What is custom roms? does it enable me with my xperia to download a custom rom or custom version so i can get 2.2 or 2.3 even if sony ericsson has chosen to not update?
Thanks
Oh, And i downloaded something from connect-utb site.
What is it? is it some kind of new android version? it stood that it can be used on Xperia so... it was something XDAndroid
cant link. But search google for connect-utb
Custom ROMs enable you to have 2.2, 2.3 and so on, BUT with some drawbacks. Since the highest the phone can go is 2.1, the ROMs will be based on 2.1 and some things might not work (e.g. Camera,Videorecorder).
Try looking at the x10 developement section. Ask what you want to do in the q and a section and we can help u. But all the info is rite here on this site. U just have to look.

Hi,
when I posted this, I did not see a thread on this already, so no attacking!!
I'm sure it's been looked at, I don't think it's novel, but what would happen if you flashed the new SE Mini rom on the old mini? Why would it break? (I'm guessing) because it's just a rom. Would we need to see the new mini get a custom kernal (has it already?) with inbuilt recovery? then flash kernal with recovery then new mini rom?
If posting this, an existing post did not come up, then maybe this hasn't been discussed? Just trying to learn, no attacking....
I don't understand, do you wan't to update or what?
Assuming you mean the 2010 X10 Mini pro and the 2011 Mini Pro, then surely it won't work because the hardware is different (even though the form factor is same/similar).
Yeah I mean update the 2010 Mini with 2011 Mini ROM.
I know some of the hardware is different, but why is it not possible? 2011 Mini now has a battery, faster processor and more RAM...but that really stops a ROM being flashed? SE in their 2011 ROMS still use Android...they just skin it and add a few apps. Why couldn't we at least pluck things out, if not copy/imitate/directly flash such a ROM?
We already have Gingerbread working on the old U20i, so what would you be trying to do? Re-invent the wheel?
You'd need to find/write new drivers for the hardware, which is currently the stalling point with porting ICS on this device.

There it is...that's it...gingerB is avail. on CyanoG. Mind you, notice the pattern of people moving away from official SE stuff for a long time, anything but SE, now look at the forum, full of threads about how to get Arc/X10/Neo/New mini stuff. Apparently the demand is there.
I'm using E10i, I've no idea what roms are available for U10i/20 etc.
Hello community, this is my first post. I'm no complete noob. I 'm coming from the symbian s60v5 modding community. Now I own an xperia mini and would like to know if the cyanogen mod is stable and recommendable for it.
Btw: Is German supported by the cyanogen mod?
yesterday I test Cynogenmod 7 (CM7) and install it on Xperia Mini Pro but I got some problem such as:
> touchscreen not working
> bootloop (yes, I already clear the cache / data / system in CWF but still-)
so I will say 'no' because its still unstable
most of cyanogenmods have bugs. i have used it in my x10 mini pro. i'd no recomment it because xperia mini have 1ghz processor + 512 mb ram which run hvga screen. you dont need to overclock it. + androjd version is latest. so better stick with stock rom
Thank you. Maybe the Cyanogen 9 will be better. What about the FXP - Project? Any experiences with that? What mod are you using? Or do you use stock rom?
i m using stock and pretty satisfied with it.
FXP is also based on cyanogenmod.
We still have 3 newer firmwares from Sony (4.0.2.A.0.58 , .61 , .62 that not have yet been released worldwide. And in 3 months official Android 4 is coming. Why bother with unofficial ones? What are the benefits ?
On older X10 mini was logical because Sony didn't upgrade past android 2.1.

agreed
and also sony ericssons stock rom is best looking rom in my opinion
Maybe you are right. Sounds all pretty logic. Is it possible to OC the CPU? Is it dangerous?
(I think I need to mod something. I 'm addicted to that. Even Symbian was crap, I could do a lot of modding with it. It was easy and it was fun. I 'm unsure if I would be able to sit on stock and wait for ICS)
What about languages and keyboard that has always been a big problem in symbian modding. How is that here?

yes you can overclock but only in custom rom. thats not dangerous if you know the limits . but right now people are experiencing some problems with custom kernels like screen doesn't responds after flashing a custom kernel. so you better skip it for now.
dont know about what do you meant by keyboard and languages but that's never been a problem to me.
Hi,
I've found an online store (in Portugal) that is claiming to sell xperia x10 mini with android 1.6 upgradable to 2.3.
It came as a surprise to me.
Does anyone know something about official gingerbread to x10 mini?
Thx
official? I don't think so. you should ask if they deliver the phone with the 2.3 installed. (maybe they sell it with an custom rom installed) I have see stores that do that.
only miniCM7.2 include 2.3.7
There is nothing like this in the official Forums from SE.. 2.1 Eclair is the latest update for ourx10 mini´s.
most probably fake in other words
I have a question. Is SE planning release ics for x10 mini? Or it will have Eclair forerver?
Eclair forever, only 2011 devices will get updates to ICS

eclair forevarrrr at least that you use a custom rom.
use a custom rom.
Ics Works well On X10 mini Or Not?
nAa's ICS Works Too Good As Per Many Devs But Hw Acceleration is not there When It's expected to Be Stable....??
It is expected to be stable as soon as nAa posts that the issues are fixed
No ETA's, it will be ready when it's ready.
No way. No ICS. No GB. Only Eclair from SE but everything from xda !
X10 Mini Pro was abandoned by Sony Ericsson a long time ago.This phone was released with Android 1.6,and in 2011 skipping Android 2.0 Sony Ericsson updated us to 2.1.1.Then,SE started to release Xperia ARC,Xperia Play,Xperia Mini and all of the others of the 2011 line.Froyo was skipped.All of them shipped with Gingerbread.Then,ICS came out for them.No ICS for us from Sony Ericsson.There is ICS for us from XDA,I think that Jelly Bean will come too!nobodyAtall along with paul-xxx and some others with many knowledge can do ANYTHING!I believe in them.
So,X10 line (except X10) gets stuck at Eclair.
In order for updating you need to unlock your bootloader (first you have to make sure it's safe to do so,you may lose capability of radio,i mean radio for music and radio for calls!) and then flash E10i_nAa-ics_02.ftf and MiniCM9-3.0.1-robynn.zip and voila!A partially (I use it everyday,even though it's slow as hell ) working ROM on E10i!(I have U20)
