Hi, I'm a noob here and in android platform.
So I bought this sk17i and it has 2.3.4 4.0.2.A.0.62
I was trying to root it fails and from what I've read around here it's because of 4.0.2.A.0.62? is there a work around with that?
thanks
I didnt try it, but an older official kernel should work as mentioned here:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/2...4-0-2-a-0-62-rolling-out-just-a-minor-update/
if you have an unlocked bootloader, you can also flash this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161
thanks but can you tell me where to get the stock kernel for sk17i? I'm sorry I'm new to this I've been searching but all I could find are the ones that are modded
by the way I was trying to use modded kernels but I always get this:
FAILED(remote: The devices must be rooted first)

Isn't it the whole firmware? I had seen in some forum(I think it was sonyericsson's support forum) Xperia arc's kernel (only kernel) was available. It was a zipped file, only around 4-5mb.
Isn't something like that available for our phone. I searched a lot, but didn't find it.
Won't flashing the whole firmware (in the link) unlock bootloader?

Unlock bootloader is different than flashing the fw although it is related if you want to flash the custom ROM (and custom kernel of course such as rage or krsh kernel).
Google "unlock bootloader+sony ericsson" to find the website where you can get the key to do so.
Im using stock .62 fw with unlocked bl becoz i want to use custom kernel with prerooting as .62 cant be rooted by superoneclick and i dont mind on the effect to the warranty. Somemore, cm ROM isnt stable enough.
In other words, you can flash stock ROM with stock kernel even if you dont unlock bootloader but if you want to flash custom kernel or custom ROM or both, bl had to be unlock or else you will stuck at S.E words during boot.

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.

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.

i will write here what i did
so other can have an easy install
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

You need to install a kernel called fxp132 from team fxp for ICS ROM to work... see my other posts in Q&A.. I have uploaded it somewhere.. you should be able to access through my profile->-> posts.

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...

If you're using a custom kernel then it wont boot after relocking, so you need to flash a stock kernel and a ROM that works on it.

hi all,
i tried the methods mentioned in the links pos9ted earlier to upgrade the phone to ICS first using SEUS and hen root it. unfortunately it did not work out. i can confirm that the steps mentioned were done correctly. what i have done is have downgraded to Gb and then rooted it. Post that i have installed a custom rom. is there any way i can install a custom rom for ICS now?
AW: How to install ICS based rom on a rooted Mini pro
for most custom roms you need to unlock your bootloader, or look if the rom you like to have is for locked bootloader too. for some roms you need to flash different kernel first. i would suggest you to flash a prerooted kernel with built in recovery. then you can install new rom via that recovery.
For installing custom roms like cm etc you need to unlock bootloader, if you don't want to do that go here and find a rom that does not need bootloader unlock. if you didn't unlock bl, download xparts and install cwm.
for unlocking, go here
then go here find a custom rom, copy zip to sd card, extract boot.img to pc, flash boot.img in fastboot mode of flashtool or fastboot, boot device, enter cwm and flash zip from sd.
thank mihann for the excellent guide.
hope it helped
