I have also tried flashing a custom rom after the kernel problem by going into the cwm recovery but it stys the same no matter what. Please help me guys. really need your help. maybe the problem is not big for you but i am new to this android thing. any help would be highly appreciated.
Sorry but u are on the wrong section, questions should be posted at General, but i think that DDS Kernel are only for mini pro right? try to flash the FXP cm10 kernel, this will help you

First, wrong section.
Secondly, flash stock firmware and then flash another kernel
Thank you guys. Solved the problem by flashing rage kernel. Sorry for posting in wrong section. It was not intentional.

Your rom will be pre-rooted and you will have a permanent recovery. Also you can overclock your phone.

If you were able to flash the rage kernel and DDS kernel then that means that you have an unlocked kernel. Also if you are able to boot into fastboot then you have an unlocked bootloader.

If you said that you solved your problem flashing Rage Kernel, then your bootloader is unlocked. Cause locked bootloaders cannot flash kernels

On stock rom type *#*#7378423#*#* -> Service Info -> Configuration -> Rooting Status: Bootloader unlocked: yes
Or you connect it in fastboot mode to flashtool, it should say Bootloader Status: Rooted (or simliar) :good:

I got it from here http://www.4shared.com/rar/29kaVZ1E/Xperia_Mini_ST15i_41B0587.html
And just for the record, when I go into the update centre app on my phone it still asks me to update to 4.1.B.0.587 with 0.1 mb of update download. I dont know why this is so. but in the about phone section the software version is 4.1.B.0.587. but it still asks to update to 4.1.B.0.587.

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...
---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------
by the way.. what tool did you use to flash the stock rom ?? flashtool ??
Well i have tried flasttool, Binary's solutin and neither of them have worked. Have anybody even rooted 6.1.1.B.1.54 or the only solution is to roll back?

Yes, first flash with flashtool B10 Kernel, then root with Binary's method, then flash B54 kernel, and you're done
Remember, only flash the kernels with flashtool, so u wont lose any data, nothing else

Thanks mate, it worked.

If you mean connect it to flashtools and be recognized, yes. As try to flash ftf through flashmode.
Well why don't you just flash a stock ftf?

Well, i tried it too but it tells me "You have the latest version"... I ll try again. Does this program has more functions??? Isn't it just for repairing?
The tool is mainly for updating, but sometimes solves issues like yours.
And which version does it say you have?
Oh and can you use adb?

The strange is that it doesn't say any version, just phone model, and "You have the latest version"... I try to flash now gb ftf .62 and i will wait how long it takes... Even 45'! Patience. Nothing else i can do!
Yeah well try that for as long as it takes, I can't think of anything that would solve your issue right now
I upload 2 pic to see how s the situation and give some help... When i open it these 2 appear. Forst the logo. Then the other and closes by its own...
What can i do?????
Try flashing just the stock Kernel of your phone version..
Had the same problem three weeks ago, can't flash system.sin . As far as I know, there's no solution for you. Fortunately, I took the phone to a repair centre and my phone was fixed under warranty (bricked while updating with SUS).

Yes Todor, this is what i ve done many times in the past and what i tried yesterday and i m going to do it now too. It's just that for some reason yesterday it didn't flash system.sin FOR NOTHING after 25'! I ve unistalled flashtools now, cleaned up reg, and i ll set it up again as i ll update my java.
1 quest: is there ANY possibility that flashtools won't work with a well set up system and software???
Ok. Finally flashed succesfully! Just needed other computer because the one i used was TOOOOOO slow... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
This flashtool issue is becoming more and more common... The best thing to do when flashtool fails is to try in another y computer...

I think you should find and flash a kernel with auto root in it's features.

Check it, that's the only procedure on locked bootloader
You know how to flash only kernels outta a firmware ?
If not then check the screenshot attached. Mark the same in flashtool
You can get the 6.1.1.B.1.10 firmware from here talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239
And .54 you already have

Well today i found out after getting tired of this trying to root 4.3 i decided to use a custom rom again.
Guess what happend...
No custom rom works anymore as imei magically dissapears. It only returns if you ... guess what...
Use Sony 4.3.
Well thank you very much Sony assholes for updating s1boot and making it irreversibel.
Luckily it seem that it might be able to get fixed with new proprietary blobs but that will maybe take some time for some dev's to add on their builds.

Are you trying to downgrade with Flashtool?, cause in Xperia Z1 is the same, the IMEI goes to 00000 but when you downgrade to 4.2.2 exclude the baseband and everything is ok and then you can flash your custom rom.......

Oh god thanks :good:
i had this experience: i have the 6802, and i was on the stock 4.3 update, flashed the adv. stock kernel to get recovery, and restored a CM10.2 nandroid. when it booted up i had no radio signal, so i restored everything from a .257 FTF except system and kernel, and after that everything was fine. i don't know if this was 'correct', but it worked. i didn't check to see if i lost IMEI, but i definitely have it after doing those steps.

I simply did a nandroid restore with the CWM recovery from the CM 10.2 boot.img - all up and running, IMEI still there.

ah hey, cool. yeah, i would'a flashed everything but i wanted to stay on CM10.2. so i just made sure the other firmware was downgraded.
but again, it seems possible that there cold be other differences between the 6802 and the others? i dunno, but some people seem to be saying to use the baseband from .290 even if you downgrade back to .257?

In my case, I wanted to go back to stock. That's why I flashed everything About the baseband, I don't know cause I didn't note down the version before I flashed .290 so I have nothing to compare to. The one major difference of C6802 from other models is that we can flash ROMs without needing fastboot 'cause kernels are somehow allowed to be flashed from recovery.
please edit the original post title to reflect there's no problem
thanks
so im on 4.3 unrooted

Ya thts right.Plus you have to unlock the bootloader too if u havnt yet.
