Hi,
I have x10 mini pro (u20). I installed successfully minicm10 and it works fine. I am trying to downgrade it back to mincm7.I tried to two different processes (with seus and with flashtools) but both fail:
1. With repair/update with seus.
I follow the instructions. When my phone is in flash mode, seus starts to download but then I get a message saying: "there is no software available for the phone". "sony update engine doe's have software available for the phone".
2. I tried to just to flash nAa kernel 14 or stock kerne but then the phone is hang when the logo apears (nAa or 'sony ericsson') and I connot enter to CWM recovery.
I search for a solution here in the Forum, I read many instructions, but I did not find a solution for this problem. I hope someone here can provide me with the solution. At the moment my phone works well with minicm10.
Thanks in advance
Did you do the uninstall wipes before flashing nAa-14? Format /system /data and /cache in JB recovery before flashing nAa-14

Downgrade from MiniCM10
Hi sason70,
I had a similar problem with my x10 mini pro. When I tried going back to MiniCM7, I tried using Flashtool for nAa 14 kernel. It completed fine, but on reboot, it hung on nAa logo. I tried with nAa 13, nAa 12 kernels, but still got stuck with the logo.
Then I tried a different approach. I re-flashed nAa jb kernel again.
On reboot, I got back to JB (so I knew how to get back to at least a working phone).
On next reboot, I pressed Back hardware button and entered recovery.
Here I did Factory reset, cleared Dalvik cache (didn't know if it was required), formatted /system, /data.
Next I applied the MiniCM7 zip file and the gapps for it from SD card.
I wanted to poweroff, but there is only a reboot option. So I removed the battery after selecting reboot (and when the screen went blank).
Next, I used Flashtool to put nAa 14 kernel.
On reboot this time, it went to first welcome screen.
Of course, I went back and restored a pre-JB backup and got my phone working as before (call log and all).
I hope that helps.

Thank you for the replies. I appreciate it.
I made a factory reset, wipe all data and cache. I flashed nAa 14 and I was able to go the CWM. But I still have problem to install Minicm7: The installation starts fine, but when it reaches to wipings/system stage, the process stops to advance when it is around 80%.
What I am doing wrong now?

You need to re-partition the internal storage again to their original sizes.
Boot into CWM - Mounts and Storage and do:
Format /system
Format /data
Format /cache
They got resized with JB and nAa-14 will restore their original sizes again so you can flash MiniCM7
:victory:
Thank you very much.
Now everything is in order (I hope...)
how about the x10 mini? the battery isn't removable...
how to go to the flashmode?

Plug your phone to a computer, strat flashing. It will ask you to get into flashmode. Then, with cable still plugged, do a hard reset by holding shutdown and home (middle) buttons at once. After some time, LED will turn on green and it's in flashmode. If it gets out of flashmode fast, then just do an extra hard reset when it just got into flashmode, i succeeded to repair my e10i this way.

Step to instal custom ROM :
1. copy ROM to sd card
2. boot in CWM or xrecovery (see the ROM instalation requitments)
3. factory reset/full wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.
4. instal zip from sd card (chose the ROM)
5. reboot
i think you can't instal GinggerDX v 15 with Xrecovery, you must instal with CWM recovery

Don,t use xrecovery to install the ROM, most rom now installed with cwm recovery not xrecovery.
here thread to instal cwm recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257701
and read carefully the installation instructions in the thread ROM.

Flash with SE Update Service
I just rooted my X10 mini and trying to install MiniCM7.
I did followed the instruction as in this link-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553
Unlocked my bootloader, flash the firmware named-"E10_nAa-02_2.6.29-nAa-02.ftf" and press the back button repeatly once the logo screen appear. By the way, my logo screen is a crashed image, I think it's normal so I just continue.
Getting into CWM, I followed the instruction also. Backup, Factory Reset and installed the updated.zip and gapps.
Done all the installation, I select " reboot system now" ( I think that's the reboot right?)
THINGS COME WRONG HERE!
After reboot, crashed image logo screen again! I wait for around 30 seconds, it automatic reboot! Crashed image logo screen appear again.....
I still can boot into CWM but can't get into normal OS anymore.
Perhaps I've done something wrong during the process, but I did followed the step.
What can I do now?! I just want back my original OS now.
Can someone help me please?

obviously he did that. also, it is 2.1.1, 2.0.7 is for stock kernel, and he has NAA custom kernel.
From what I see there you flashed NAA kernel v02, flash the newest one and try again.
Did you check the kernel was updated correctly? Try to reflash miniCM following the steps again, if your kernel is cracked and NAA kernel is installed correctly, you mustve missed a step during the rom installation. go through it again and let us know.

Do i need to Wipe data or do anything before flash?
Wipe data/factory reset after you flash the ROM. Then flash gapps.
And BTW, nAaKernel-03 is out. (Go here). You should use that with MiniCM7-2.1.1.
Hope it helps!
Best,
Sam

Just wipe the phone (factory reset), no need to flash gapps..
You just wanna see your phone revives again
After it's ok, then you can flash the MiniCM7 2.1.1 again and together with gapps of course, but before you flash Minicm7 2.1.1 you have to wipe the phone first
after flash the ROM and the gapps..isit select "reboot system now" to reboot? ><

Yes. Reboot = restart.
If you think reboot = factory reset, then no.
Wipe = Factory reset.
On button + Home button also can reboot..so I don't know which to use..><
I tried to flash MiniCM7 2.0.7 but it say the baseband is not compatible with the ROM..update baseband to : M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015.
what to do now? ><><><
anyway thanks for helping me..

To update baseband update via PC companion. if that does not fix it, look for a tutorial to flash custom firmware with baseband 015, there are quite a few on the forums.
Why press 2 buttons to reboot when you can press only one? youre overcomplicating things.
Isit what in this link? -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9067949&postcount=1
So which one should I flash? And my Mini still in the situation that stuck on distorted logo, only able to boot into recovery, nothing else I can do.
Personally I wouldnt just give up after what you've allready done.
Your phone is in no danger. I've been in your position lots of times.
Since you are able to enter the CWM menu,
just try to reinstall 2.1.1 again, wipe everything, install gapps, and try again.
I would recomment kernel 03 instead of 02 tho, but it isnt needed to get 2.1.1 to work.
Also, when following this:
"Once the logo appears, press the back button repeatedly to enter CWM4.x.
- Select 'backup and restore -> Backup'
- Select 'wipe data/factory reset' (SUGGESTED)
- Select 'apply update from sdcard'
- Flash gapps"
Instead of "- Select 'apply update from sdcard' "
Select a custom .zip (not update.zip, but find the CM7 2.1.1.zip file on your SD-Card).
Then do the rest.
hope you get it working
Good to see solutions to your problem, but please post in general or faq in future. Please report your own post (I think you can) and select "move thread" or something like that.

Hi,
I tried to flas MiniCM7_Pro_V18.zip with clockwordmod and once I restarted, it said corrupted ROM.
Now when I restarted my phone it is stuck at SE logo page.
Please help
-Factory reset
-wipe cache
-wipe dalvink
Boot into recovery (click the 'back' button when booting). Reinstall the rom (try a previous or alternative version), repeat the process described above (backup + factory reset), and reboot twice, you are good to go, no worries.
I had clockwordmod installed, however while flashing the new ROM, that went off.
Now I am unable to go back into recovery by pressing back button, cannot do a factory reset, its just struck at SE loga
The ROM installed was a bad one...

Just a corrupted download, miniCM7 works fine.
To unbrick your phone, use SEUS. Reinstall your SE stock rom and start teh proccess again: root your phone, instal CWM again, download a new rom and flash it.
I hope that helped. I know there is a tut here in xda bout this proccess but I just coudn't find it.
Thanks nit3wolf

I would really appreciate if someone can help me.

did u wipe Dalvik Cache!???
Are you sure you followed all the steps properly and you chose Xperia mini? Try it again
0. Locked Boot Loaders should Install CWM
1. Reboot to cwm.
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe cache partition.
4. Wipe dalvik cache under advanced menu.
5. Format data under mount and storage menu.
6. Format system under mount and storage menu.
7. Format cache under mount and storage menu.
8. Install zip from sd card.
9. Follow the steps in aroma installer to install the rom.
10. Untick Reboot Device when installation completed.
11. Go back to CWM & Reboot from there.
12. When System boots up go to Developer Option & Tick "Force GPU Rendering".
13. Active Users Flash Home_Key fix from Addon Section
Note: After installation, first boot may take several minutes (to create cache, dalvik cache etc.) to start your device. Leave your device for 20-30 minutes to settle down the rom. Also at first boot you may notice a high ram usages (less free ram). It is natural because android system occupy a lot of memory while settling down the new rom. After 30-40 minutes reboot your device and you are now ready to fly with your newly installed rom.

Yes i've selected it. And it still doesn't work. Any help? I really want to use that rom so bad.
Did you flash the kernel Included (or recomended) for your rom? because if you are stuck at a sony logo it seems to me that you still have stock kernel.
Edit: it seems that you have just hot boot the first kernel with recovery so when you boot again it just revert to stock Kernel.
That would explain why you can't access to recovery the second time.
You need to really flash the kernel:
1. Turn your phone off
2. Plus the usb Cable in While pressing volume up.
3. "fastboot flash boot boot.img" If you use fastboot in command line or "Select Kernel to Flash" button if you use fastboot in Flashtool.
Edit2: Ok I just realised that you have Locked bootloader so what i just told you won't work. Sorry.
Did you really follow step 10 and 11 and chose "reboot to system"?
The only thing I can think of would be to unlock your bootloader using mihahn thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879750 and then install a custom kernel.

yeah i've never seen a feedback from people that's using the zelly cream rom with a stock kernel, maybe the problem is with the stock kernel. Now i'll try some other custom roms out there maybe they'll work with the stock kernel and a locked bootloader.

Hi, the first time i tried this i only wiped data/factory reset and nothing else, so when i rebooted from recovery mode i got stuck at sony logo. Took me some time to fix everything (flash stock ICS on device, root phone and install cwm again).
Now i did all this:
0. Locked Boot Loaders should Install CWM
1. Reboot to cwm.
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe cache partition.
4. Wipe dalvik cache under advanced menu.
5. Format data under mount and storage menu.
6. Format system under mount and storage menu.
7. Format cache under mount and storage menu.
8. Install zip from sd card.
9. Follow the steps in aroma installer to install the rom.
10. Untick Reboot Device when installation completed.
11. Go back to CWM & Reboot from there.
12. When System boots up go to Developer Option & Tick "Force GPU Rendering".
13. Active Users Flash Home_Key fix from Addon Section
Now when i rebooted from CWM (recovery mode) the sony logo appears for about 10 sec, than disappears for about 5-10 sec, and it's doing this over and over again for about 10min now.
Any ideas ?

Why did you flash the active user home button fix? It's for Xperia active st17 users! I guess that's the problem
Reinstall the rom like you did before and don't flash the active fix! It should work fine

I actually didn't do that, because when i reboot from CWM (after installing rom) that's where the sony logo flashes in about 10s intervals.
unable to install custom rom
Hi guys..Currently I'm using "Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro".I have rooted my phone by "Flash Tool" for Sony, I also unlocked my bootlocker too that time.
After the rooting process has been finished I have installed "ROM manager" from Play Store. Then I install "CWM v5.0.2.7" via ROM manager. But the whole problem is that now i can't istall custom ROM for my device. Because in the CWM recovey menu it is showing "Xperia Arc[v03] {ICS}".
I am able too wipe factory data, cache and delvik cache, it is also showing installation process of custom rom.After the installation process completed, my phone is not booting into Custom Rom. Its repeatedly showing sony icon, then it is automatically rebooting. I took back up for my phone also,and I can also recover from that.Also I tried "X-parts" app from play store, and installed cwm for xperia 2011 series. But the same "Xperia Arc" is showing till now.
note: I followed all the steps[/B]
I need help.
Yesterday, my little brother pulled the battery of my Xperia Mini Pro (SK17a) while this was factory reset.
Right now, my phone is not been able to turn on. Just stays a long time after the SonyEricsson logo for a few hours. (sometimes fails to start, but only see the notification bar with the time. No menu or anything, everything is in black)
Try to flash it in a thousand ways and I realized I didn´t enter the recovery mode ( turning on pressing a combination of buttons ... I already tried about 13 or 14 with the physical and the tactile buttons next to the button to turn on the phone) but the only thing that I thought would serve not served. The only different answer is when I connect the usb cable to pc to flash it (by pressing the VOLUME- but is useless.
PS: Before I had already rooted and flashed the terminal correctly, but wanted to go back to reset. I've tried everything, but no response. Just not detected by my pc.
(Sorry for the english. This is not my language)

Hi,
I had the stock Ice Cream kernel .587 and installed the CWM to flash the Zelly Cream 6.0_Rejuvenated 12.03.14
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155803&highlight=first+boot&page=329
ROM.
My xperia mini was rooted but the bootloader was locked.
The installation of the ROM looked ok but at the first boot it stacked for more than half hour one the SONY logo boot screen.
It doesn't turn off. I removed the battery, and turned it on but it stucks on the same SONY logo boot screen.
I think i can't use flashtool as the bootloader is locked... what can I do? Is there another tool to flash the official ROM or my buck up from CWM?

Did you wipe everything the dev told you to? You should be able to boot into android that way. If that fails, flashtool is your friend. Restoring a nandroid backup should do the trick.

No I didn't wipe anything... What does wipe mean ? Delete? From SD? From internal storage?
I cann't enter on the intrnal storage, my PC doesnot recognise my phone (it was being recognised before the flashing).
.... Ok I'll try flash tool (you mean the Sony's flashtool)?

Use flashtool to flash back the stock rom and it'll work again
Yes, there are wipes to do in cwm like doing a factory reset / wiping cache / sometimes you have to wipe the system too. Read and follow the instructions in the rom thread and you should be fine

Ok I managed to flash the stock ROM,
I'll try to reinstall the modded ROM how can I wipe everything that is needed?
Should the wipping be performed before ROM's installation or afterwards?
Thank you for your support!

Wipe it in cwm before you install the rom. But all these instructions should be given in the rom thread, check it out
