An Xperia Mini is not an E10i, the E10i is an Xperia X10 Mini
Should you actually mean the E10i, there are custom firmwares that run on stock kernel, notably Froyo Roms and Gingerbread up to version 2.3.5.
Do you prefer any? I really dont know what I have to do :/

Check your model-number first, it's on the sticker behind the back-cover.
I'll look for some links...
Sony Ericsson E10
SI 1257-5368 CB5 11W46
TYPE: AAD-3880069
FCC ID: PY7A3880069
IC: 4170B-A3880069
This is everything I found on the sticker.
Thanks for your help

That's the latest date i've seen on an x10mini (sure it doesn't read 10w46?)
I wouldn't risk unlocking the bootloader, so try these:
Andread 2.3.5
MiniCM6
or
MiniCM7 (version 2.0.7, based on GB 2.3.5, scroll down the list to find it) the last version to run on stock kernel.
Wow!
Thank you very much!!!
I will reply and inform you about the mobile status
Now I've got a problem.
If I want to install the MiniCM6 I have to Reboot to CWM recovery.
I've extracted the CWM recovery on my SD card.
When I turn the Phone off and turn it On again, pressing and holding the "back" button but nothing is happening

Yes, press home and power buttons together, it will reboot the phone, as soon as the kernel logo appears (white sony ericsson) press the back-button repeatedly to get into CWM again.

wt19i does not have a built in recovery like the samsung phones.

Unless you're talking about CWM recovery (keep pressing repeatedly volume down when you see Sony logo, until you enter CWM), there's also a so called 'safe mode', check this thread.

You can't install cyanogenmod before you have unlocked your bootloader. You can unlock by official sony method for developers (look in my signature for a guide) or by testpoint method. Otherwise you can't install a rom for unlocked bootloader because you aren't able to flash a kernel boot.img.
When your bootloader is unlocked, in most custom kernels cwm is integrated
Don't try to flash a rom for unlocked bootloader on a locked bootloader, otherwise your device will brick and you will have to flash the original firmware with flashtool!
Ah btw to install cwm on ics you must have rooted ics (you can't root ics like gingerbread firmware .42, you will have to do it like this) and then you can download the x-parts app from playstore which can automaticly install cwm
I rooted device and have X-Parts.
Installed Recovery 5.5.0.4 by pvyParts.
I am able to restart in recovery mode.
Do I understand it right?
Even if I have recovery installed I won't be able to install CM or other ROM with locked bootloader?

You can install roms especially made for locked bootloader, like ics based "real ics lite" or "MiniCMSandwich". There are some MIUI rom's around here, too, but stock rom is the smoothest

These are the apps on your sdcard. Be sure you have ca 1,5 gb of free storage on your sdcard when you start the backup. The size depends on how many apps are installed/etc but 1,5 should be good to be on the safe side

I wouldn't do it with the kernel to flash, cause if something goes wrong you have the ray kernel on mini pro and you will have to try to unlock bootloader and flash other kernel. I would just flash the ftf file for .42 and root, run local-prop and upgrade to ics and run push-root-files.

Okay, have you got latest flashtool installed? Please install all drivers for all phones and modes from flashtool installation folder -> drivers.
Turn phone off, take off battery, insert battery, hold volume down, connect usb, flash stock rom!
That should work, try it again.
Be sure the custom rom you flash is same as the base you used before. I mean if you flash an ics custom rom, you have to be on ics before, same on gingerbread

Please read this!!!
People with locked bootloaders please read this
u have installed a recovery mode (using x-parts or any other methods) to your system partition. When u flash a rom, it formats system partition. so u can't go back to recovery until u bootup and install it again. to get a permanent recovery, u have to unlock bootloader and flash a kernel that have a recovery mode (it's getting installed to your boot partition). so it won't get wiped by a rom flash.
Hello ravin
You gave us the reason, and a solution for unlocked bootloaders... The question is that the problem happens in locked ones.
Anyone knows how to solve this?
There are plenty of roms for Locked Bl, so it is just a questionvof method with the Cwm installation.
Thanks for your input!

There are plenty of roms for Locked Bl, so it is just a questionvof method with the Cwm installation.
Thanks for your input!

You could try opening the rom.zip, replace the files in the zip with the files from cwm (can be found in the forum), zip it again and flash it

u mean flashing cwm also with the rom?
that's a great idea!
Hi Folks,
I have a stock .587 firmware with locked BL.
I have done some tweaks on it listed below:
- New adreno libs.
- Walkman port V6 by ThilinaC
- removed bloatwares manually and freezed some others.
- JB SystemUI changes by ThilinaC
- adrenaline boost, etc.
I was learning on decompiling and recompiling the apk's. So I picked up the simplest one. i.e. enabling on screen buttons in framework-res.apk.
I made change into in one of the xml and I successfully rebuilt the apk. and flashed it using root explorer. But it gave bootloops.
I tried starting CWM recovery using volume down button at the Sony logo as usual. But it didnt start. I tried so many things like connecting to USB and restarting the phone at that time to start recovery by same pressing volume down button method.
But it didnt work still.
Since I was not able to go into recovery, and since my nand backup was some days old and had some data which was needed.
I flashed only system partition from the .587 ftf. using flashtool and rooted the phone again using normal procedure.
I thought the volume down button will work for recovery but it is still not working. (The button works normally when phone is on i.e for volume down process.)
Please help me what can be done.
P.S.: As of now I can go into recovery using x-parts or any other tool like titanium. But only manual recovery entry is not working.
So it means, I wont be able to go into recovery if I get bootloops again. And I am afraid to change/port anything on my phone now.
try the back button instead of the volume down button

back button also didnt work.. Thanks for your reply anyways....
To add to my point....when I repeatedly press volume down/back button, the LED turns blue,,,but as per my observation, previously it used to stay till recovery starts, but now it turns on for 4-5 seconds and then goes off, and then the Experia bootanim shows up.
Is it like the exploit which activates recovery at boot time is damaged?(just a guess)..If maybe yes..how can I solve it?
Try to install recovery again via flashtool.

How did you install CWM? Try taping on screen when you see boot logo.
gregbradley said:
Or flash a stock kernel with recovery included (I think you can still do that with locked bootloader, but not sure as I unlocked as soon as I got the phone)

Thanks Madfysh...tapping on the screen worked... :good: so happy...
I had tried every button.. Didnt think of screen though...
Initially, I had installed CWM thru DoomLoRD's rooting toolkit. Then I had installed x-parts by pvyParts. There it said a new CWM version was available(v5.5). So I had upgraded that.
Was it the upgrade that had this change?

There is one version floating around which is using tapping on screen to enter in recovery, so since for you, back and volume- didn't work. Tap on screen was only option left, having in mind that you said that you can enter recovery using xparts, meaning that your recovery is installed ok.
p.s. I doubt you used doomlord's root toolkit to install CWM

ok..got it..thanks...
For rooting I used Doomlord's toolkit. and the CWM 5.0 comes with that only..I had read somewhere about xparts...so installed it and updated the recovery.tar thru it...that must have done the trick...
Hi,
I unlocked my xperia mini pro and then tried the Fastboot Tool to flash the boot.img that belongs to CM 10. It was always failing with the Fastboot and the command prompt fastboot.
By mistake, I flashed another .img file and now the phone decided now to start up. Not even given any LED colour or so.
What can I do?
Thanks
What Rom did you flash. Second kernel did you flash ?
Device : Xperia Mini ST15i
Rom : Pureness V4
Kernel : Lupus V9
Mods : Beats audio + Walkman V7.5

Please flash a stock rom (ftf file) with flashtool first. If your device doesn't boot after this, then it is a real problem. Remember to wipe data.
Hi,
I started out by unlocking the bootloader and it worked fine.
I tried to boot the CM image file, it was always giving me an error in Fastboot mode saying that outside range or so.
Then I downloaded Rage and tried to fastboot that image, after several trials, I can no longer start my phone.
Thank you

There are download links in the sticked thread by someguyfromhell, download a ftf for your device
Open flashtool and click the flash, flashmode, select the ftf and click okay.
Now take out the battery of your phone, wait a few seconds, insert battery again, hold volume down, connect usb to pc while holding volume down, the green led will light up. The flashing process will start and when it's finished you will get a working rom again :good:
Or you could try to download a kernel for your device (like rage kernel), take off battery, insert it, hold volume up, connect it to pc while holding volume up, start flashtool, click the flash, fastboot mode, select the boot.img for your device, click ok. That's it

Yes, of course. For any further questions, just ask :good:
By the way: You first flashed rage kernel and after that the stock.ftf? Because the stock ftf has overwritten your rage kernel. You have to flash the kernel after the ftf

How would I use the backedup stock? What's the case, and how to restore, by just going to recovery and restore?

If you have made a cwm backup of stock rom or stock based rom, then when you are on the fxp kernel, do not restore the backup. Firstly, if you want to restore the cwm backup then flash rage kernel or any stock ics based kernel and then go to restore in cwm. You cannot use stock rom with fxp kernel because the kernel configurations are for cm and not stock.
Press Thanks if I helped

Like the guys above said, flash rage kernel and afterwards restore the backup. This is if you want to come back to stock rom one time
I am on CM10 from FXP but made some changes by M66B (SK17 user too)
Look on my signature to download the last version of the extended ROM. Battery improvement on this ROM is one of the main features
Works the same or better than FXP one. The boot.img comes inside with the ROM zip file, just follow the steps listed by mihahn. Last version to this date is 202 ("~FXP202 features 1-3,7-9,12-13,23-24,26,28-38,40-42 (January 11, 2013)" that's the name of the zip file)
