Hey there, I downgraded my Xperia Mini on .42FW, rooted it with Flashtool and made the Bootloader Unlock. After that I tried to flash the Boot_smultron_V2_Lite Kernel and the only result I got is a Boot-Loop with revolving Sony Ericsson Logo.
What is wrong? I tried it several times, with different bootloaders also...
Pls help me

try this ROM
and a KERNEL that matches above rom
maybe it could be an issue that I am using a ST15a device, bc it shows me an error in the Recovery console saying ST15a and Smultron are different.

how can i manually Flash Koush's ClockworkMod Recovery in official
4.0.2.A.0.42 ST15i (mini)???
AFAIK you cant. Xperia phones are very weird when it comes to messing around with them. Recoveries are flashed into the kernels themselves.
I, myself cant understand why we cannot have the HTC type of recovery, im sure a dev can answer that one.
the proble is that there isnt any recovery partition but how i i can install it in kernel????

So far there is no way of getting some type of CWM on 2011 Xperia devices. I sugest you either use ADB or wait until a dev comes up with a way to install it.

Did you do:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
advanced - wipe dalvik-cache
that might solve the problem.
otherwise maybe either the rom or the kernel is corrupted, download them fresh and reinstall both.

repair using seus or pc-companion gets you back on stock firmware including kernel, your bootloader will still be unlocked.
or look in the x10mini pro development section, there might be stock kernels for flashtool available for download.

This tread should be in Q&A not in DEV.
Anyway do U have bootloader unlocked?
That rom is a 2.3 rom and you need to have and unlocked bootloader. You need to have 2.3 on your device first which would you would find in my signature below. So skip through the tread and find 2.3 Download it and flash it and try the rom again.
Sent from my X10i
Dude u r in 2.1 now. It has a baseband of .49 or .54. GB needs a baseband of .71. So the only option is first u download a pre-rooted firmware image and flash it via flashtool. U will boot into GB. Then unlock bootloader using Laser's method and install custom kernel like DoomKernel.
Follow this method
[RECOVERY image] {v2} X10 GB 3.0.1.G.0.75 [Prerooted + Fixed xRecovery] to insatll the prerooted firmware using flashtool.
Unlock bootloader using this steps from
[HOW-TO]UNLOCK bootloader for X10
Then flash DoomKernel from this link
[KERNEL][X10] DooMKernel [UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS]{Rel:v06}[Dt:10/Jan][FW3.0.1.G.0.75] and boot up into stock rom or the previous GB rom u r using.
For Stock based roms, DoomKernel is simply the best.
For CM7 based roms, use FXP 130 kernel provided here FXP 130 and
For CM9 based roms, use FXP 132 kernel for better performance which u can download in FXP CM9 Thread.

thanks to brenty108 for the help
If that rom is in ftf format
Open with 7zip or winrar
Look for kernel.sin
And place it in a folder
In flashtool create kernel
Point it to the folder containing kernel.sin
You should then be able to place your created kernel into firmware folder and flash it
I haven't had much experience with those roms so it's just a suggestion

its pretty obvious.. when you flash the stock rom manually, some of the stuffs are not in order as the factory one even if the version is same.. so to put it in order perfectly you have to install the update...

Gives the same error.
Re: Trouble installing CM10./10.1
This happens to me too.
So the best solution for now. Flash the roms you want using the provided kernel.
Then take a backup, flash Mesa, switch between roms via restoring them from recovery.
I do so

I had this problem as well. I searched through google and found out the solution is to flash a newer version of CWM which actually worked for me. I couldn't find a separate package with CWM but I found a kernel containing it. Everything has been fine since then.

I guess MESA already has CWM6.xx
