Using flashtool is fine, but its limited to you have the correct firmware you want to flash. This person may want the firmware from their region, not the generic world or whatever they may have.

flash it with flash tool
enjoy..........
The reason you didn't had network signal may be that not all roms work with all basebands, so it could have been rom related. Have you also waited till the rom rebooted a few times?

[Q] problem with flashing

hi everyone!
I've got a problem with my phone, becouse it stocks at SE screen and restarts!
I now how to reflash using update service but its not working it says NO Update Fund and its closing please help
If SEUS can't help you should use PC Companion. I know this program isn't very good but i had simular problem and when SEUS couldn't help me I use PC Companion. You must download the newest version or upgrade old version to new. You're from poland so i write some words in PC Companion in polish.
First click "Sekcja Support Zone" and it should start download files (1 mb i think). Next click "Rozpocznij" under "Aktualizacja oprogramowania telefonu" then click "napraw" and follow the instruction.
Good Luck
but pc companion says me the same

Ewjet MIUI etc are ROMs not firmwares. If pc companion or seus don't work then search for flashtool and use this to install global generic firmware. This will put ur phone back to how it was when u first got it

Hi,
I have a X10 mini pro, and I have installed the MiniCM7 Pro - V20.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201116
And I would like to know how to reinstall the original OS on it.
I have some problems with SMS and MMS.
Someone can help me?
sorry my english but has you can see it is not my original language
Ehh, SEUS?
SEUS .............
u can use seus or x10flashtool ....... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455
thanks! the same is for other models?
What do You mean by "other models"?
In Flashtool you need specific *.ftf file for yor cell modell
for example file for X10 mini won't work on X10 mini pro
Remember to reinstall the original kernel also.
No Need for do any thing,just install SE Update Service and install original Os.

Are you on custom kernel?
sent from my u20i using xda premium
When SEUS says you already have the latest software, it will give you the option of reinstalling it anyway.
Basically, it's saying there's no update available. It is an Update Service after all. But it will always just let you reinstall the latest update.

i´m kinda new to flashing, so sorry for being a n00b.

Downgrading Xperia Mini Pro to 2.3.4

Hello,
I updated my Xperia Mini Pro to ICS 4.0.4 last week. But there are lot of problems here. Also buggy and laggy.
So, how can I downgrade my mobile to original stock rom? without loosing the warranty. Because I bought this last month and I don't want it to lose warranty.

Just visit a Sony service centre... Itseems they downgrade the Rom to gb if u want.
Or you can flash ftf firmware file using flashtool. I don't think that voids warranty:good:

Correct they wont know the difference between flashtool downgrade and normal gb from before. So for warranty you will fine.
use flash tool .. it wont void warrent , because you will flash OFFICAL ROM .. so wont void warrenty
But im a newbie. How to use flash tool? my phone is not x10 mini pro. It's SK17i Mini pro.

But the rom is modified. Isn't it? I need the original 2.3.4 build 4.0.2.A.0.58 rom... Please can u find me a link?
If you do want to keep your warranty, you need to go to a service center. If not it's more than easy on Android.

you can search for official rom for GB at the development area
be sure you install flash tool too
it wont loose your warranty
If I were you I would look here and go to XX.Downloads. At Number 2 there is xperia mini pro.
Download the 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom (for SK17i) and install flashtool, then click on the flash ,select flashmode and select the ftf from 4.0.2.A.0.42.
But install the drivers from the drivers folder of flashtool before.
Then click flash and power off your phone. Press and hold volume down and put usb cable in and connect to pc. The green light will shine.
Then flashtool will do everything automaticly and will flash the rom. (Btw all your data will be wiped!)
If you are on .42 then you can root with flashtool (just enable debugging and unknown sources on phone) and click the open padlock to root. Then connect to your wlan and search for updates on phone. Then update via ota to .62 firmware!
Thats the best way and it's the official firmware and it's like you never have been on ics before!

Thank you so much dude! I will do that. But i need to know that firmware is "world" one or is that a firmware made for a mobile company like AT&t or something else? Because I don't need to see a company logo when my phone is starting.
Also if I do this, am I able to update my OS to newer firmwares if SONY release it? Like ICS or JB?

Yes, you can download from here and if your bootloader is locked you can still upgrade over the air (wlan) to newer versions of your os!
Yes you can install upgrades from sony, to ics or jb (if it's out).
I think it's polish rom or something like this, but you can choose your language and it's like the generic world, only the crap by sony (like things that are preinstalled, like mcaffee or whatsapp, playstore now, etc ) is different (whatsapp is on some sony roms preinstalled, but you can also download in playstore, it was just an example!!)
So just flash it like I told you and then you are on stock sony rom, you can root it (cause .42 you can root easily: just enable usb-debugging and unknown sources on your phone with 4.0.2.A.0.42 and click the open padlock next to the flash). Then you can update (if your bootloader is locked, otherwise your phone will brick) to .62 firmware, the latest gingerbread firmware by sony. ( I don't know excatly in which countries, but in Germany there is a .69 firmware, with no changes on the software, I think, compared to .62)
Greets!
