Hello!
I hope you don't take me for on of those noobs on the registration video :silly: ... I've been around here for a while "behaving" so well that I didn't ever realize I was unregistered, hehe
My problem is that my USB connector is really (really) dead, but I want to get rid of the VGA camera and my average of 5 reboots/day.
So I want to upgrade from my:
X10 Mini Pro (u20i)
MiniCM7 v15 (2.3.3)
Kernel 2.6.29
Baseband M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
ClockWorkMod v3.2.0.0-r3
I'd like to get MiniCM7 2.2.1, buuut, I can't update the kernel to nAa 13 with FlashTool because of the missng USB connector. The closest aproach I could fin is this, but it was unsuccessful, ouch.
So I searched for I while, but I'm getting more and more confused with the compatibility issues and combinations, I couldn't really find out which is the best upgrade I could get using the tools and kernel that are already loaded an my SD card.
Any kind of help or clue will be very appreciated...
Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I just installed the rom GingerDX v17 on my x10 mini pro and i am having some small (i think) problems. Ill make a list to make it easier for you to read.
- I flashed with the basic package (gingerDX.zip) but on the post of this rom there are more things to be installed. How could I install the "newCMParts.apk"?
- The second file to be installed is only if I use a stock kernel. How can I discover if my kernel is stock or custom? It says Kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #1 but I have no idea what it means. And if I have to install it I should use the same method of the question above?
- How can I change the keyboard layout? I have a "ç" that is being typed as a ","
- The lights of the keyboard are not turning on, any hint? I searched all configs and I couldnt find how to do it.
- My cellphone reseting randomly, I am running out of battery kinda fast and the wifi not always connect perfectly. Anybody knows something about this? Maybe if I install the file on the same question itll make it better?
Thank you in advance!
Nobody has any hint?
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.
I am trying to activate Wireless Tethering on my "Rooted" Xperia mini
Model: E10i
Firmware:2.1-update 1
Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Kernel: 2.6.29
[email protected] #1
Build: 2.1.1.A.0.6
I tried Open Garden, Barnacle, Wirlesstether, and none of these apps worked.
What happens is that the wifi tethering starts somehow, and other devices such the Transformer (HC) or the PC are able to detect the wireless service, but they are stuck in "Obtaining IP".
Also, I noticed that in whole the apps I tested, the Upload stucked to "0", while the download was active.
The Wifitether app also notified that the Kernel version of my phone was not supporting tethering. But somehow some users affirm that they managed to make it work.
So my Question is basic and simple:
What should I do???
Note that:
- I already tested any possible settings in all the apps.
- I followed some guides but mostly couldn't understand a word since I am not familiar with development terms.
- I of course searched this forum for a solution, but there aren't any specific to this problem.
- In one thread a user confirms that he made it work and the problem was that he needed Iptables.
here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235541
He shared this link for a solution, which is all gebrish to me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184907
(Something about Kernel needing IPTable support, not really clear).
Any help would be appreciated.
You could try using a custom kernel like nAa kernel. And nAa MiniCM7. It has tethering built in. (Of course you need to have your bootloader unlocked first.)
tnx for the reply.
I just learned that ICS will come in march for the xperia mini.
I guess it will solve the problem.
Is this a joke?

Xperia x10 mini and xperia mini are different phones. X10 mini (E10i) will not recieve an official ICS-update. Hence, your best option is to unlock you bootloader and change to naa kernel and ROM.

Se xperia mini pro x10
u20i / 2.3.7 / miniCM7Pro v21
ok my issue here is that i can't detect the wifi. It has nothing got to do with the router as i am unable to detect ANY wifi ANYwhere.
This is the 2nd time it happen. i've read somewhere it said to wipe clean, so i did a full wipe and it solve the problem, and it happened again after just one week. I found some others who are having the same issue but those were x8.
Anyone experienced such issue with their mini pro x10 before??? How did u manage to solve it(permanently)??

Hmmm... The same thing happened to me, when I used the miniCM7Pro-v21 ROM. So it has some issues ... I tried to reinstall the ROM, praying that it would be a solution. But that didn't worked out either. And I made a decision ... I flashed to rom with the latest version of the nAa kernel. And installed the MiniCM7-2.2.0 for the Pro version. And it made this bug in the begining just ONCE!!. Hope that would be an answer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------O--------------------------------------------------------------------
IN THE BEGINING :
Sony Ericsson T290i --> Sony Ericsson W300i ( My ex-music man )
THE BREAKTHROUGH :
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro
• Previously :
ROM: MiniCM7Pro v21 Gingerbread 2.3.7
KERNEL : Stock Kernel ( 2.1.1.A.0.6 )
• Now :
ROM : MiniCM7-2.2.0 Gingerbread 2.3.7/CM7.2 unofficial port for the pro
KERNEL : 2.6.29.6-nAa-11
I had simular problem with MiniCM. I think it happened when i told it to forget a LAN while i was connected to it.
I had to tell it to forget all networks, and i could rediscover them and connect to them.
Jinghis
can u give me the link, afraid i will download the wrong rom. thanks mate.
Fredruj
i do not think my issue is the same as your's. it does not even scan for any available wifi and i did not fiddle with anything when the problem happened.
Jinghis
just found the link , silly me for having small eyes.
sorry to ask, i am very nub in handphone. So i just need to :-
1 make a back up in cmw?
2 do a clean wipe?
3 flash the rom
4 done?
ok i've read somewhere it says to chg my router to channel 11, and it worked!
but why did it chg suddenly, and how do i go about it, as i cant be requesting every hotspot area i go to to chg their wifi settings.
so, here goes : my dad's X10 mini and my friend's X10 Mini Pro seem to struggle to run ICS. i installed the right files on both, unlocked the boot loader, installed the latest nAa and so on. but all the ICS roms i try to run seems garbled. touch screen doesn't work properly, rotation doesn't work and much more. sometimes even the resolution is off. can anybody help me ?
Kind regards,
OP.

did you flash the right kernel? nAa-ICS-04 kernel for miniCM9 3.0.3?

For X10 Mini Pro, use this Kernel and ROM
Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636504
ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636501
works perfectly or almost ^^

absolutely sure i did, at least on my dad's phone. i don't think i flashed nAa 04 on my pal's, but that was because that version hadn't been released at the time.

thanks a bunch, but i only have access to a x10 mini at the time of writing. just to avoid confusing you, i only used the appropriate files for the x10 mini, (strictly from the x10 mini, not pro forums) and strictly the files from the pro forums for the x10 mini pro.
This forum is used for both models Xperia X10 Mini and Xperia X10 Mini Pro
But if you need only the files of X10 Mini, here they are:
