ROOT TO ROM IN X10 Mini PRO (from stock ROM or custom ROM)
(thanks to xda developers nobodyAtall, Spyderex, Emperor.dk and many)
updating my earlier post. The complications in installing recovery completely removed. Now it is easy as charm.
I had myself miniCM pro v21 in stock kernal in my x10 mini pro. So this post intends to do on
1. flashing back to custom sony rom
2. rooting (with busy box installing)
3. installing recovery
4. unlocking bootloader
5. flashing custom kernel
6. flashing cutom ROM and google apps
before that : there are many other steps and methods for this but many of them did not work for me. I am describing here what worked for me.
Before starting save all your needed apps using app saver or with my backup root / titanium backup (after root). Back up your account with google account or export your contacts as .vcf to sd card for later import.
You should have through out internet connection and sometimes you would have to switch off the Antivirus to get it done properly. Also allow adb.exe to connect to net through firewall when needed.
1. FLASHING TO CUSTOM ROM WITH SONY ERICSSON PC COMPANION ( if you are having a custom ROM: other wise proceed to next step of rooting)
1. download and install pc companion from here http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...ject/pccompanion/xperiax10minipro?cc=in&lc=en if you are not already having it. Then make it recognize the phone.
2. Select support and update. It may tell having the latest update but go for repair.
3. Follow the commands. This may take a while
4. correctly follow the command to connect the phone in flash mode (switched off and back switch pressed)
later you have your old blue sony rom back.
1. ROOTING
1. download superoneclik.exe from here. http://www.mediafire.com/file/x1l6n7owj7uldbl/SuperOneClick.zip The problem is that many versions do not help and this version did it for me. Unzip and run the .exe
2. Plug the phone and leave it as such (do not charg/ connect or anything)
3. click root and follow the commands when prompted (like want to test?)
4. done (donate if you feel so)
5. Check for the superuser app in menu if it have been rooted.
Then go to market and install
* busybox
* root explorer (just to be on safer side)
3. RECOVERY
found out the easy way. Thanks to devrruti and rect2049 in xda
1. Download this clockworkmod installer from here https://github.com/downloads/react2409/X10-Mini-Pro-Utilities/CWMInstaller-Windows-v4-dl.zip
2. switch on the phone and connect the phone (ensure debugging mode on)
3. unzip the downloaded zip file and run the install.bat file. Follow the instructions
4. now disconnect when finished, switch off phone
5. switch on and when sony logo comes start multiple pressing and releasing the back switch to enter recovery mode
so there is cwm recovery
4. UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER
download the flashtool from (0.5.3 -I used) here. http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
1. before advancing further download the required ROM (for me miniCM7 from http://minicm.googlecode.com/files/MiniCM7-2.1.8-mimmi.zip )and google apps from http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip and copy both to the root of sdcard
2. open the install location of flashtool and install the ggsetup-2.2.0.11.exe file inside and install Gordon’s Gate found in /drivers folder
3. then restart the computer, open the task manager and kill any process named adb.exe
4. donot open flashtool after this till needed.
5. Download the s1tool to confirm the unlock certificate of phone from http://db.tt/OrOQO33 and unlocking tools from here http://db.tt/0zUMR5S4
6. Unzip the s1 tool to the designated folder and run the s1.exe. Switch off the phone. Select the Do Job button and wait.
7. Connect the phone in flash mode (switched off and back button pressed)
8. proceed further only if the screen shows semc simlock certificate
9. unplug the phone, switch it phone, connect to the computer
10. run msm7227_semc.cmd in the directory you unzipped the unlocking files to and press any key to start the unlocking process.
11. If everything goes correctly the log will show press any key at the end.
5. CUSTOM KERNEL AND ROM
download the require kernel.ftf from auther’s site (for me the kernel suiting my ROM was nAa kernal from http://minicm.googlecode.com/files/U20_nAa-10_2.6.29.6-nAa-10.ftf
1. copy this to the /firmware folder in flashtool install folder
2. run the flashtool and select flash, then flashmode
3. select the desired kernel
4. switch off the phone and connect in flash mode when pop up requests
5. disconnect phone when the tool says so
6. switch on the phone and enter the recovery mode when kernel logo comes by repeatedly pressing and releasing the back switch
7. in the recovery mode, do a backup from backup and restore option (up and down by volume keys and select by middle switch)
8. do a factory wipe data
9. then flash the ROM zip by selecting the option install zip from sdcard option followed by gapps zip flashing
10. finish this and take reboot (long)
Enjoy the new experience
A guide that can be stickied for newbies. i like this.
You can even modify the thread by giving elaborate colors and headlines and make it attractive. (if you are interested in doing that so)
Appreciate your work bro!
Thanks!

Like it.. But the rooting part is gonna feel complex for newbies... There are flash file which root and install CWM recovery automatically without any complication...
unnecessary rooting and recovery installs
I appreciate what you are trying to do as SpyderX's thread can be daunting. I think it would be easier to keep people using one tool as you go around the houses a bit.
Perhaps a simpler route from stock using S1 tool and flashtool. This is just an overview as I've copied and pasted it from my blog and would need expanding with links and sufficient detail:
Backup part 1 - use apps such as SMS Backup +, Bookmark sort and backup, APN backup and restore
Check that your bootloader can be safely unlocked with S1 tool (download from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19624790&postcount=2)
Turn on USB debugging on the phone (in settings in the applications section)
Use flashtool to root the phone (download from the homepage http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/)
Backup part 2 - use a root backup app (Titanium backup or MyBackup Root)
Use flashtool to unlock the bootloader
Flash the kernel (e.g. nAa kernel) in flashtool
Boot into CWM Recovery (assuming and flash customised firmware (e.g. MiniCM7)

I made exactly the same thread quite ago, I was really motivated and stuff but mods just moved it and got it forgotten in the general section. It even had colors, headlines, sections, collaborators, and stuff, sorry to disappointing you but with staff like this it is impossible to help newbies.. I even explained why post it on the developers section: Strictly, it should have been posted on General, yes, but the guide is directed to new members. Most of them probably doesn't check nor even know there is that section. It got moved anyways without any warning or a single word from the one who did it..
Anyways, good luck.
Dear all,
This is my 1st post in XDA developers. And this is the first time I use Android system on a smart phone named Huawei Honor U8860. I learnt from websites and I know how to install ClockWorkMod. After installed stock rom from Huawei China (China site). I found out that I can't install any rom after that (always Update Failed). So I decided to format all the thing on my phone by using ClockWorkMod (/boot, /sdcard, etc...) and now my phone starts on blue screen and I realized that there is no image folder on the folder (the folder that you put recovery-v8.img file to setup ClockWorkMod). Now what do I have to do to bring back the recovery or someone please send me the image folder and guide me how to install rom for the phone since there is nothing left in my phone!
Regards,
Paul
Download orginal GB 2.3.6 from international Huawei site.
Make dload folder on root in memory card and put the UPDATE.APP (some ROMs also have UPDATE_CUST.APP, don't leave it out) inside the folder
Start up phone with volume up/down pressed while pressing power button.

I tried, and it seems while installing the package, the update failed, what's wrong with my phone? I did not have any problem when I upgraded my firmware before the time I use the stock rom from China
What error?
hi, i can help you
download this:
http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDEyODk=
install as a normal upgrade, than, installl any offycial rom and you have your honor fixed
This rom is the exactly rom that make my phone stuck in this situation, so do I have to install it back on my phone? Install the rom back to the one that harm me then apply this update?
@DeuXGod: Update Failed while installing firmware after unpacking
no, you have to install the file that i posted first, than install the rom! the file is the fix provided by the huawei for the failure updating of the original roms! flash the file first, and than, flash the rom!
edit: if not work, try this other : https://rapidshare.com/#!download|309p5|4238175827|UPDATE.rar|0 , unpack rar, make a dload folder in the sd card, put here the update app, and flash like a stock rom, later, install the official one
Thank you Paul! Now I find the solution for this, at first, if you installed the 2.3 Chinese rom that post on Huawei China (the first 2.3 rom posted on 2012-03-08)
It will prevent you from install ANY OTHER roms, so if you want to install another rom, there is an update patch for this one (the one that paul89... has posted above).
After that you can freely install any official/stock rom on Huawei Devices.
And for the users that format everything(/boot, /sdcard, /system, etc...) and your phone show up as a blue screen instead of pink screen when u press the power button (yeah there is no image folder in recovery partition).
Download the 2.3 stock rom from Huawei China (above)
Get your SD card out of the phone, using the USB/SD card converter tool to plug it to ur PC as an USB, copy the rom (dload folder in the zip) to the card.
After that, plugin your SD card to your phone, then press Volume + - and Power and the phone will go straight into upgrade firmware.
Then use the Paul89 patch that I've shown above, copy the dload folder to your SD, remember to delete the old one, use storage upgrade function of your Android to apply the patch. And now ... you can freely jailbreak the prison of stock Huawei China rom
And sorry for not linking your URL, this forum always ask me for the Image Verification even I Multi Quote ur replies

SUTL?
Maybe a bit late, but in my experience, using SUTLR to flash ROMs (official/custom) works the best. It overwrites & updates everything (i.e. if you have CWM, it will be overwritten) and you will have the phone just like you got it from the dealer.
SUTLR? what is this tool?
-edit: googled, software update tool.. ok, but its only for official roms?
Dear rammy,
This is the first time I use android system on the phone and I found out that it's much complicated comparing with iPhone and I don't know any tool to use with it

You can use it for any ROM that comes in .nb0 format. Since most custom ROMs are in .zip format you can use it mostly for official ROMs. However, there are other custom ROMs (such as on andro-id.net) which come in the .nb0 format.

1. SUTL is quite simple to use. You can download it from the net (latest version is v1.8.2). Install it (works only with Windows) and you are ready to use the application.
2. To use SUTL to flash your ROM, boot your phone in download mode (i.e. where you have the message - Incoming Download Mode polling) when you boot.
3. Connect your phone via USB cable to your PC. The device will get recognized and Windows will attempt to open the folder (similar to when you insert a pen drive). You can close this window
4. Start SUTLR. Click on next and using the Browse button, navigate to the .nb0 file. The file must be named firmware.nb0. Click on next and the screen shows the progress of ROM installation. DO NOT DISCONNECT TILL COMPLETION
5. Once the ROM is installed, you need to remove the battery to come out of download mode. Restart the phone and the new ROM will start up.
Note: Please take backup of data and/or ROM (including recovery.img). SUTLR will replace everything (i.e. it will even unroot the phone if you flash an official ROM)
Hope this helps. I am also a beginner and this "guide" is based on other posts as well as my experience.
yes, but the isnt .NB0 roms for our u8860..and offycial rom are not .nb0, but .img..so how do you have installed offycial rom in your honor?

THIS GUIDE IS FOR XT910/GSM USERS
So guys in this thread There is nothing new that I am posting, But it is necessary to have all the official ICSs all together at one place so that other users can flash it from one place.
I am not taking any credits for this work neither I am saying that I have created any tool to help you guys, I am making a guide of how to unbrick and update to ICS so that some people who are bricked and want to reflash the ics in their devices, they can do it. Also This Thread Can be used to update from any other European Leak To Official ICS (of Europe).
So in this guide we are gonna learn how to flash the official ics of the different regions. Depending upon your region and system version flash the suitable ics.
Before we begin I would like to tell you that thanks to HSD, We now have two different methods of unbricking:-
1. Using the Official OTAs
2. Using the fastboot files
How to unbrick and flash ics using the official OTAs
Currently I have only three Official OTAs you are welcome to link to me other Other Official OTAs.
So before you begin I would like to tell you the pre requirements that you need.
1. Good Battery Life (atleast 80%)
2. Official OTA of your region
For European And british region Download This OTA.
For Serbain Region Download This OTA.
For Asian Regions Download This OTA
For Canadian Regions Download This OTA
3. Download EternityProjectFastboot
4. Boot.img file for you OTA
Download This boot.img for European/British OTA
Download This boot.img for Serbian region
Download This boot.img For Asain regions
Download This boot.img For Canadian Region
5. Gingerbread Fastboot files
Download These files For European OTA
Download These files For Serbian OTA
Download These files for Asian OTA
Download These Files for Canadian Region
Remember you will lose root after you update
The Procedure
1.Copy The OTA to your external sd card.
2.Extract the Eternity Project Fastboot. You will get three files. Copy them to your desktop.
3.Put the boot.img file on your desktop.
4.You need the system_signed file, to get that:
4.a. Create A folder on your desktop saying rom-1
4.b. Extract the gingerbread fastboot files which you downloaded (extract those files which are of your own region your region).
4.c. After Extraction, there will be a file called system_signed file in it copy that out and put it on your desktop.
5. After you put the system_signed file on your desktop, make sure you have 5 files [system_signed,boot.img,eternity project fastboot(Has three files)] on your desktop.
6.Now boot your device into AP Fastboot Mode.First switch of your device, then hold vol-,vol+ and power buttons all three together at the same time for 10 seconds.
Then you will enter in a screen,i.e, Boot mode selection menu where the third option would be AP Fastboot.Scroll down using vol- and then select using vol+.
After you enter in AP Fastboot mode connect your device to the PC.
7. Hit the Start-Button in Windows and search for 'cmd', command prompt window will open.
8. Now copy and paste the following codes one by one in the cmd of your windows
cd desktop
eprj-mfastboot flash boot boot_new.img (For European and Asian regions)
eprj-mfastboot flash boot boot_new_41.img (For Serbian Region)
eprj-mfastboot flash boot bootics.img (For Canadian Region)
eprj-mfastboot flash system system_signed (For All the Regions)
9. After All the files are flashed correctly, disconnect your device from the PC, then hit power button to switch it off.
Then again hold vol-,vol+ and power buttons all three together at the same time for 10 seconds and then enter into second option,i.e, recovery or stock recovery.
10. When you enter into recovery you will an android lying on his back, just hit Vol+ & Vol- together to see the options.
11. Scroll up and down using the vol- and vol+ buttons and select using the power button. Wipe your cache first (I recommend wiping data too).
12. When done, go to apply update from external storage and choose the ota (of your region). It will take some time to install.
13. When installed just simply reboot your device and you are all set and good to go.
For Any Assistance I have made a video for you guys :cyclops:
How to unbrick using fastboot files
Well many of us are already familiar with how to use the fastboot files, but there are some who dont know how to flash them.
For such users I would like to tell you that we have two tools which can flash the fastboot files in our device,
1. RSD Lite (Official Motorola Tool)
2.Flash it (Created By KHOLK) (Thanks Mate)
It entirely is up to you to decide which tool you want to use. I myself use flahsit.
If you want to use flash it You can see this video to learn to use it.
If you want to use RSD Lite see this guide By zeidof. Thanks buddy.
Fastboot files Of Official ICSs
1. Retail Brasil ICS 4.0.4
2. Claro Brasil ICS 4.0.4
3. Tim Brasil ICS 4.0.4
4.Oi Brasil ICS 4.0.4
5. Personal Argentina ICS 4.0.4
6.a. 672.180.41
6.b. 672.180.33
Both Are European
7. 672.180.291.XT910.AmericaMovil.en.01
8.Chinese ICS
Remember Asian and European users can flash each others roms, rest cant, kindly flash the rom of your own region, Then I am not responsible if anything happens to your phone. Also remember after updating to ICS you cant go back to gb.
If you have any other Official OTA OR Fastboot files You are Happy to Link Me to that :laugh:

7. Hit the Start-Button in Windows and search for 'cmd', command prompt window will open.
8. Now copy and paste the following codes one by one in the cmd of your windows
cd desktop
eprj-mfastboot flash boot boot_new.img (For European and Asian regions)
eprj-mfastboot flash boot boot_new_41.img (For Serbian Region)
eprj-mfastboot flash boot bootics.img (For Canadian Region)
eprj-mfastboot flash system system_signed (For All the Regions)
9. After All the files are flashed correctly, disconnect your device from the PC, then hit power button to switch it off.
Then again hold vol-,vol+ and power buttons all three together at the same time for 10 seconds and then enter into second option,i.e, recovery or stock recovery.
10. When you enter into recovery you will an android lying on his back, just hit Vol+ & Vol- together to see the options.
11. Scroll up and down using the vol- and vol+ buttons and select using the power button. Wipe your cache first (I recommend wiping data too).
12. When done, go to apply update from external storage and choose the ota (of your region). It will take some time to install.
13. When installed just simply reboot your device and you are all set and good to go.
For Any Assistance I have made a video for you guys :cyclops:
How to unbrick using fastboot files
Well many of us are already familiar with how to use the fastboot files, but there are some who dont know how to flash them.
For such users I would like to tell you that we have two tools which can flash the fastboot files in our device,
1. RSD Lite (Official Motorola Tool)
2.Flash it (Created By KHOLK) (Thanks Mate)
It entirely is up to you to decide which tool you want to use. I myself use flahsit.
If you want to use flash it You can see this video to learn to use it.
If you want to use RSD Lite see this guide By zeidof. Thanks buddy.
Fastboot files Of Official ICSs
1. Retail Brasil ICS 4.0.4
2. Claro Brasil ICS 4.0.4
3. Tim Brasil ICS 4.0.4
4.Oi Brasil ICS 4.0.4
5. Personal Argentina ICS 4.0.4
6.a. 672.180.41
6.b. 672.180.33
Both Are European
7. 672.180.291.XT910.AmericaMovil.en.01
8.Chinese ICS
Remember Asian and European users can flash each others roms, rest cant, kindly flash the rom of your own region, Then I am not responsible if anything happens to your phone. Also remember after updating to ICS you cant go back to gb.
If you have any other Official OTA OR Fastboot files You are Happy to Link Me to that :laugh:

First, your RazR is recognized by RSD, right?
You get the preflash... error, which is happen when you try to downgrade to GB or using the wrong fastboot for your region.
So where's your RazR from?

OK, I tried installing this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737862, but I skipped step 0, as I had flashed my phone with that kernel a couple days ago when I rooted my phone, the rest of the steps I did all of them, all the cleans and wipes, but smth obviously went wrong, and my phone won't boot staying at the sony logo. I saw some other threads here with the same problem, but I couldn't find a solution. If anyone has a solution that will work at 100%, I'd appreciate it. My phone is not recognized by PC Companion so I Can't do anything there. I can't boot into cwm either, I can only use flashtool to flash my phone with a kernel, and I can't use fastboot mode as my device is not recognized in flashboot either.
use SEUS and repair your phone. (when it ask you have the latest version, just install anyways)
Read.. read.. read.. same posts.. same questions.. but different people..
Xda is just not to post your questions.. its there to learn.. bro search.. there is answer to this to..

Do a full wipe n reinstall the rom
Bro
Gl
Okay. So it is possible to Flash a ftf file o your phone. And Fastboot mode is used to Flash kernels, While Flashmode is used to flash ftf files.
Thing to do is,
1.Get a ftf file ( better if prerooted )
2. Flash ftf to you phone using flashtool. (flashmode)
3. Then Flash Pureness With all steps followed strictly.
Or
1. Get ftf which is not pre rooted.
2. Flash ftf on you phone.
3. Root your phone again and install CWM. or Flash Custom kernel which comes with CWM using Flashtool (fastboot mode) and flash superuser.zip via CWM to root. ....// Both methods are to root you phone.
4. Install Pureness following each instructions.
Dont worry!
Even I faced the same problem as yours and I was flashing the same ROM. What I did was in CWM I wiped and formatted everything as per the steps and when I was doing install .zip file from SD card it was giving me error something like "BAD" Error, the problem was that I didnt copy the ROM .zip file properly to my memory card.
So do one think first download the official 4.0.4. ICS ".ftf" file of your device from here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690
(As per your device 4.1.b.0.431 OR 4.1.B.0.587) it must be around 200 - 300mb.
Then copy that .ftf file in C:\Flashtool\firmwares (Make sure there is no other file present in "firmwares" folder, if there then delete it.)
(Hope you have installed Flashtool. If not then download & install it from here-
http://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1357230558000)
Then open "Flashtool", press "Flash" button and select "Flashmode" press "Ok" then again press "Ok"
wait for few seconds while its preparing.
Then a new window will Open and follow the Instructions like- unplug device, power off, press and hold back button and connect it to PC
This will install the stock ICS on your phone and will go ahead of that sony logo where you are stuck. :good:
Thats It. Your Done!!

Thanks man, that's what I was looking for, the stock ICS for my phone. Did that, re rooted my phone and this time things went fine, I managed to install pureness, even though I didn't do it from cwm directly, but from a program called x-parts (which seems to install cwm) since cwm itself would say no recovery for your phone or something, once again thanks. Also, that method with SEUS works as well, so thanks to that other guy, too. And to the guy saying search, I searched, read my OP, and I tried different stuff before asking here for like 4-5 hours, but I just panicked into thinking I ruined my phone so I came and started my own thread, since that's what the guy in the 'welcome noob' video said, but I guess people aren't allowed even to ask around here.
I never had this kind of problem, but try these following steps , may be this will help you:
1. Reboot your phone and hold back key : this will help you to set your cellphone in fastboot mode
2.Download android sdk from here

after download extract the file and rename it to androidsdk (you must have java)
put the folder (androidsdk) on drive c

Flash 4.1.B.0.587.ftf using flashtool
or
1.Factory reset in cwm
2.wipe cache partition
3.wipe dalvik cache
4.Format /system (in mounts and storage)
5.Format /data
6.Format /cache
7.Install XXX.zip (XXX=the rom name)
8.Install patch for your phone model (if there are)
9.Reboot
U seemed to take things wrongly bro.. see whatever solutions people have provided u is from xda threads only right? Soo that means if u read u will get it.. its not that we dont want to help.. the point is the help is already available.. its just that u have to search.. thats all.. bcz mny people have this doubt..
evry person rooting his phone n doing this stuff first tym has this doubt.. n helps are already provided.. dont misunderstand people and blame that u are not allowed to ask questions.. chill and understand..

Already quite a few guides and one of the most noob friendly guides are available in this Neo forum and we are lucky to have it
Why not make use of their time and effort?rather than duplicating a post and cluttering up the forum!
The threads /guides are noob friendly
Creating a new thread without searching /without checking for a thread having similar title is not appreciated here!
I get your point and also know you didn't ask the question but just wrote this to clarify things incase you weren't aware!
