I want to install for my phone "XPERIA X10 Mini Pro" the latest modified version of android.
[ROM]MiniCM7 Pro - V5 Final (GingerBread 2.3.5)
What is the procedure?
Can anyone help me please...
What is the steps i have to follow?
You need to root your phone first.
Then download the Rom and place it on your SD card.
Then make sure CWM is installed, boot into it and do a NANDROID BACKUP.
Then do a factory reset full wipe and then install the downloaded Rom from your SD card.
If you search the XPERIA Forum you will find details on how to Root.
Hope this helps.

factory reset AND wipe cache and dalvik cache or else you'll run into problems
So my phone is rooted.
I download "CWM 3.2.0.1" and make a CWM sd card, but i don't know how to boot from CWM...within my phone.
Is the CWM the correct version or something else happens.
How to install CWM and boot from it?
Thanks.

1.Just download an app called rom manager and super user(it may have already installed in ur phone ,just check)
2.Then open rom manager,then u got a first option of flash clockwork mod recovery.By selecting this it will install the appropriate recovery tool in ur phone.
3.Then put the custom rom u hav downloaded in ur sd card.Then again go to rom manager and select install rom from sd card or u can also download any other rom from an option "download rom"
4.Then select the rom from ur sd card by scrolling down.It will show a menu of 3 option having back up exiting ROM,Wipe data and cache and wipe Davlik cache.Mark all three and press ok.
And done .Then phone will do its all work.Dont panic or remove battery and have enough patient for this because it will take a lot of time.Before doing this please recharge ur battery and back up ur contacts,sms and apps.Thats all and have fun
And yes it need some internet connection
I have problem with "rom manager"
My phone is "XPERIA X10 Mini Pro" it seems that is not supported...
try quick boot from the market
Thanks all, i made it...
I DID some cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe and accidentaly included data wipe too..the phone rebooted and ask for goole etc etc to be filled up but then the phone died and when i tried to reboot it. I get stuck at CM7 boot screen. I tried recovery pressing power-volume down-menu all at onece and when i try to restore back up it says E: Couldn't open directory/sdcard/nandroid/ please help me please i dont know what to do
Did you move the nand backup elsewhere on your card or to your computer? Toggle USB storage and copy the nand backup back to the sdcard (and to the same folder).
no.backup was not moved ever since i created it using nand backup.and upon checking..it is still there
my guess is that the rom has become corrupt (somehow), so this is what i would do:
1. wipe everything again (as if you were going to do a fresh install of new rom)
2. flash cm7
3. once everything has booted properly, reboot into recovery and try to restore the backup
Im gonna try that one out sweet...anymore suggestions or solutions or is there anyone out there who knows exactly what to do?
Hoping your suggestion would solve this problem...Rebooting now after re-installing cm7......
Re-installed CM7 and phone went On..Tried to restore backup but to no avail....anyone who can suggest what to do?
did you rename the folder of your backup? i know that the name cannot have "invalid" characters, such as asterisks and spaces.
also try reflashing your recovery and try again.
I think I know what went wrong. Yesterday I used Amon Ra to wipe cache and dalvik cache and battery stats coz I've seen somewehere here in this forum that CWM recovery doest completely wipes caches so I used it but I forgot to return to CWM. I think that causes the problem "couldnt open file directory". Upon reinstalling CM7 rom, I flashed CWM and tried to restore backup and it did.
Nope..I never did anything with the backup...reflashing recovery solves the problem
so everything is now up and running? glad to hear that
yeah..up and running thanks

Flash stock rom with flashtool to recover
You shouldn't Format system before installing a custom rom, only if it's required in the thread oft the rom. And how die you Format Boot?
This is not necessary on our xperias. SD card neend't be formatted, too.
Do it like that:
1. Copy the FXP rom zip and if you want the gapps (Google apps) zip to your SD card
2. Flash the boot.img
3. Boot in cwm
4. Wipe data/factory reset
5. Wipe cache, advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
6. Install the FXP ZIP
(6.1) Install the gapps
7. Reboot
That's it

You have to open the rom zip, go to the google folder inside meta-inf, open the updater script and delete the first 3 lines (assert getprop)

Write out the full error, we are not smart people, who are supposed to know everything.
Friend
U have also faced same problem while installing fxp 152 cm10 on my live with Walkman. But I have backup my previous cm9 stable on my PC and i have cm9 zip on my sd card too.so after that installation aborted error I disconnected my battery and then I again connected my phone to PC via fastboot and flashed cm9 kernel and installed cm9 rom. As I too forgotten to take nandroid backup so after installation my phone started normally.
don't worry do it like this.if you ain't got any stable rom then download it in PC and copy it on SD card.

Can you post your updater-script here?
Hi all
I have an emergency matter,
I just updated my cynogenmod to the newest edition through the "in system" updater, then i reboot the phone, my phone stuck at the booting screen!!!! i didn't back up my files since its in the system update, i thought its relatively safe. I can just wipe everything and flash the mod, but I need all the files on the phone.
so is there any way i can explore the files on the phone like an SD directory so i can retrieve my files?
thank you
If they're Images/Video/Songs Then you can do a Restore to factory defaults and Wipe Cache from the recovery and boot it up. Though that'll get your applications removed. Try to do a wipe cache only ..

If you have a memory card (MicroSD), just get it and put it on ur PC

Have you looked into Aroma file manager? Works through recovery.
My galaxy S2 (gt-i9100) was running cm13 for about half a year. Some days ago I let google play update my apps. The result is a bootloop.
I've used the voice recorder to record a lot of notes I need to remember. Is there any way to get those files out from the phones internal storage?
The CWM recovery installed lacks the option to wipe cache / dalvik, which I would hope could get the device out of the bootloop.
When booted into recovery, I've tried adb, but the device is unauthorized.
I think usb debuging was disabled, however, I'm not sure about that.
The ideas I have to solve this are:
1) flash some other recovery that will give an option to wipe cache/dalvik and be able to boot cm13
2) flash some other recovery that will make adb able to pull the files while in recovery mode
3) flash some recovery that is able to copy files from internal storage to sd card
4) factory reset, and hope the files don't get deleted (this is the very last resort)
The thing is that it seems like I'll need to do all installations from SD card via the current CWM recovery. Does anyone know of a suitabel download / howto that can help me get my files off the phone?
If reason for boot loop is Xplore file explorer latest update , uninstall it with developer advices:
http://www.lonelycatgames.com/wiki/xplore/crash_on_cm
I did factory reset twice because of app.
Thank you, Kepsilla. Unless that is an app that is installed with cm13 or gapps, I don't have it installed. But your link gave me hope:
If you have custom recovery on your device (such as TWRP), enter recovery mode, open file manager and delete folder /data/app/com.lonelycatgames.Xplore-1

That means that if I can install TWRP recovery from CWM recovery, I should be able to access the filesystem. That should open up to two possible solutions:
a) Copy my files from internal storage to SD
b) Delete / modify some files to take all apps I've installed from play store will not start automatically.
Does anyone know of a TWRP that would give any of these possibilities and install on a i9100 using CWM?
(I can't really experiment iwht this - I feel the risk of loosing the files is too high. I have to know I'm going the right direction when I do something.)
Solution was very simple: By holding volume down pressed during boot, the device boots into safe mode - no apps started. Then I could just uninstall the apps that were set to autostart. Reboot and problem was solved.
I came across this way to enter safe mode when googling a error message that started to pop up frequently on my S5 mini. S2 with cm13 appears to have the same way to enter safe mode as S5 mini with factory rom.
