Hello, friends. I'm writting to ask you for a help, because i have a very big problem.
Some time ago I installed wrong ROM for my Xperia Mini, which was made for Xperia Pro.... I found some good ideas and offers in this forum, like install lastest firmware .62 with FlashTool and then rom, for example, hybrom_v10 via Recovery Mode (CWM). The main problem is I cannot install ROM, because my phone is totally wiped now (there is no CWM). Secondly, I cannot install CWM because i can't enable USB Debugging because of the TouchScreen, which is NOT WORKING. I've been serching for some information a lot about this, but nothing helped..... If you know the solution, PLEASE help me some how, i don't know what to do and I really need to fix this phone. Thank you for your attention.

You don't need USB debugging to install CWM! Just flash any kernel that has cwm in it. Almost all the custom kernels have cwm. If you haven't unlocked your bootloader, then I suggest that you do it so that you can flash a kernel which has cwm.
Maybe you should unlock your bootloader, because after that you can flash a custom kernel that has cwm built in
Sorry, did not see abcdjdj's post, was writing mine while he posted his one

There are numerous threads on the touchscreen issue, they're as annoying and as common in this section as best ROM threads are in the Arc section, so I'm not sure why People can't find the solution.
Thank you very much ! Now on the last step left. I installed .62 firmware, hybrom. TouchScreen still not working, but I will figure out how to fix it from orhers threads, well, i hope.

the last miniCM7 requires a custom kernel& unlocked bootloader.
you can't use it with stock SE kernel, sorry
repaire with SEUS or if your phone has an unlocked bootloader, flash nAa's kernel
first i am sorry for the position of the thread, i didn't post, i asked a friend to do it
second i really appreciate your help friends and thank you alot
from your help i understand that i must first unlock the bootloader, then flash the kernel and finally install cyanogenmod 7, am i right??

the (best) way :
unlock your bootloader
install miniCM7 2.0.7 (to maximise the compatibility/minimise problems ) it works with stock kernel and a little with custom...
flash the nAa_kernel04
Install miniCM7 2.1.2
read my FAQ, and the dedicated thread about miniCM7 and the kernel before trying anything
you will find 2.0.7 here

if you are installing older version of MiniCM then try going to recovery mode and wipe battery stats then reinstall it will work hopefully
and then you can crack bootloader and install Custom kernel as matmutant said
I have an xperia X10 mini Pro. now i have a verry stupid question (and i think i posted this on the wrong section, sorry for that my first time on the forum). my question is: will i be able to play games that are not compatibel with my phone ( icon pop quiz,...) if i root? or will it make no difference
and if it will help can sombody like explain in short how to root and what about roms ..
I know there are alot of treads but i want you to like give me advise on what is the best for me?

what are the risico's?
thanks to the ones that are going to help me.
if there is exact the same tread can you send me a link ( i looked for 10 minutes but dident find what i was looking for)
Hey You can have any game in your U20i ,there is only one problem that you have ,that is were you able to play a game in your mini pro! Rooting your x10MP does not delete your sd data (but may your phone data, if you upgrade to another firmware and root, will delete phone data ).
heres the link for rooting- forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950324
And another thing please go through x10MP section before asking this kind of questions!

Hey, bro!
First of all, there are no stupid questions, weŕe all learning here .
Rooting, in itself, doesnt let you play more Games/Apps.If you want to use more and especially newer apps, you will have to install a Custom ROM on your device, commonly known as flashing. A custom ROM is a is an android operating system that is different from your latest "official"(made by SonyEricsson) OS. Custom ROMs for our device are very practical, because our latest official Android version is 2.1, which doesnt support many apps. Currently, the best working custom ROMs for our Phone are the ones based on 2.3 Gingerbread.
To get the very best out of your Phone, you will have to unlock your bootloader (which is slightly risky) and flash a custom kernel, which is also part of a new Android OS(tutorials you will find in the following link).
If the procedure of unlocking your bootloader is to risky/difficult for you, there is another alternative: to flash a ROM based on your preinstalled("stock") kernel. For this you HAVE to root your phone, which doesnt have any risks and isnt difficult, install xrecovery (a program to install new ROMs) and then flash a "stock kernel based" ROM. Everything else you need to know is in this Links:
All custom ROMs and Tutorials for xrecovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588192
For unlocking your bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462278
PS.: You wont lose any on your sdcard and phone if you just root your Phone. If you flash a new ROM, you will lose the data on your Phone, but not the data on your sdcard.

Hi all pls Help me My Backbutton for the phone WT19i is not Working but I need it for CWM can go back so I want a CWM thats have Touchable buttons on screen I search 100 Sites but I Can´t Find pls Helping me...
I have a Unlocked Bootloader

reason u couldn't find it is because there is none.
no cwm touch for xperia 2011 existed so far.
That's not exactly accurate ! I have found a couple of Kernels with touch recovery loaded up ! I can't quiet remember which Kernels but if you search the forums a bit you could find them and ask the developer about the touch-recovery

That's not CWM touch, but TWRP. However, developers have abandoned it, because of many bugs on our devices (no backup of apps on SD and so on...)

Hi,
thank you very much for the effort.
I appreciate that. Will give it a go next week and then reply the (hopefully) success here again, oki.
Muchas gracias amigo
hasta luego
Problem solved, CASE closed thx..
Hi ovejasrepublicanas,
just wanted to give you and the community a quick feedback and my hands up as promissed.
Thank you for the links / files.
I downloaded it, placed the file in the FlashTool Firmware folder.
Connected my phone via usb (turned off), started flash tool, the phone turend on by itself.
Then i selected quickly flash-> flashmode. Selected the generic ROM and (with whipe cache & data selected) startet the flashing. And.....
Everything went fine. :good:
Now after a long first reboot we are AT ZERO again.
Turning on Developer Mode and sourcec and debugging and going back to start (to unlock the bootloader, flash a working recovery tool and the ROM and so on)
THX!
BTW: Did you delete your profile here or what happend??
