[Q] CyanogenMod 7.2 for the Xperia Mini Pro - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hello
I want to install the CyanogenMod 7.2 for the Xperia Mini Pro:: V7.2 (16 Jun 2012) from the thread http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=mango&type=stable
Any one know if I have to Unlock my BootLoader first? or will it work in a locked BootLoader?
Thanks

U need to unlock your bootloader to flash cm

You must unlock the bootloader to flash anything not from Sony. I used the test point method to unlock the bootloader and so I still have DRM. It's a bit complicated but worth it.

Sk17i problem
I've installed Xperia Mini Pro With 2.3.7 Cyanogen Mod 7.2 Firmware and it looks very nice but there's a problem ( I can't receive any call ) when someone phones me my phone doesn't ring only the one who is calling sees ( number busy ) although I didn't change any settings...
please help me solve this problem because I like this rom and I'd like to keep using it.

I have an Xperia S with ICS installed
I was wondering if flashing the 4.0.3 kernel from the Lt18 (pretty sure that firmware has rooting abilities)
onto the Xperia S
then Root
then Flash the Xperia S kernel back could possibly work?
I was going to give it a try earlier today but thought it would be best to ask if they're is any risk of perma-bricking the phone and unable to reflash before I did
Are you for real??

You cant, on locked bootloader.
You can flash an Lt18 kernel on a Lt15 with flashtools maybe it might work
I'll give it a try
I'm sure I can flash back if it doesn't
well I hope so
Hi, try putting the phone in a jar of soil. After a few years it might get rooted without having to use the search function.
Cheers.

for xperia mini(st15i) there is a temp CWM recovery that you can flash with flashtool(require unlocking bootloader) and you can flash mods and when you reboot the device CWM is gone.
search temp boot for xperia mini pro.if you find maybe usefull for you.
if you find temp boot for your device you can root your device with CWM.
Rooting is the gate to modding pal. . .
You need to do it. . .
Also bootloader should be unlocked as if u wanna install custom rom some of them are only for unlocked bootloaders. . .
Rest use search button
Happy modding

To use CWM you dont need to root your phone but you need to unlock the bootloader and flash a new kernel. This WILL void your warranty but if done correctly it opens a whole world of mods in android. Sony provides an official method of doig the same in their blog(jut google) but using that method makes you loose your drm. I did come across another method(on this forum) which claimed that you could do the same without loosing the drm but I havent tried it out.

Hello.
To use CWM without unlocking your bootloader, I did the following :
Start with an xperia mini pro with official ICS 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431)
First, I rooted my xperia following the topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701357
Then I used RecoverX to install CWM without unlocking the bootloader : http://www.iphoneandroidtips.org/how-to/recoverx-to-install-recovery-for-sony-xperia-phones/
Then you restart your Mini Pro when Sony appears, keep on taping on Volume down button to enter CWM menu :cyclops:
Then I could install custom ROMs CyanogenTimescape, RealICS, AOKP (Roms that allow locked bootloaders)
I hope that can help you.

Sir i read it thoroughly.. but was unable to root.
wen i was trying 2b. I downloaded Xperia-ROOT.rev4.zip and executed 01-local-prop.cmd it said rooted device not found.

You need to have root already, before updating to ICS.
You need rooted Gingerbread in order to root ICS. Make sure ADB drivers are installed.

MiniCM7 is indeed the best option, but you will need an older version in order to run in on stock kernel. Go to the link provided in one of the previous posts, click on the word 'Downloads' and find MiniCM7 2.0.7, it's based on Gingerbread 2.3.5, and will run flawlessly on stock kernel.

[Fix][Xperia mini]Ultimate fix for bricked touch screens

Hi
With this method you can fix your touch problem if you flashed a wrong rom
Things we need:
Flash tools
Rage kernel gb
Stock .62 firmware for your device(ftf)
wrong rom that bricked your touchscreen
What should we do:
1:flash your device gb .62 firmware
2:flash rage kernel
3:flash that wrong rom again
4:if wrong rom was ics,rom will not boot then remove the battery to turn phone off then flash .62 firmware again if it was gb,do the same work
5:wait until stock rom boots the touch will be fixed
6:if touch screen fixed,press thanks button
I tested this method two times and worked
Devices that unbricked with this method:
Mini
Mini pro

Thing is: I don't know what rom initially broke the touchscreen since I got the phone in this condition, hoping for an easy fix
I don't think there's a way to tell what rom was on there....so my best bet is still random flashing, right?

If U did try to install JB then U should have unlock Your bootloader. That means You have recovery which is build in kernel, so just copy any other JB ROM and install it. If You did not unlock BL then try flashtool and install ICS, cause JB won't run on stock kernel.
Can you help me with step by step instruction with links... Plz...
there are a lot more information that u should give us in the first place.
like: which rom u want to flash?
bootlodder unlocked?
