Try to use "Flashtool": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
I had problems when tried using the new version (0.9.9.0) of Flashtool with my X10 mini (E10) .
I tried the older V0.8.6.0 and it went smoothly!
I also did complete factory reinstall with SEUS. Not sure it was necessary but if you do- make a full backup before!

Hey,
Just commenting:
I tried to flash it according to the thread you posted. But It does not works with flashtool 0.9.9.0. Even I installed appropriete drivers, but without sucess.
I did not find older version of flash tool and did not do complete factory reinstall.
So maybe it is time to find it and do reinstall...

Well, you didn't have to flash anything, just press the +-button to install xrecovery to your phone and follow the instructions

trust me, i've been where you are and I know what you mean. what you could do is download the x8toolbox.final (link given below)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100
it's really useful for starters. It's very easy to follow commands in it as well. you can root, install recovery, add dual touch and more with easy to follow instructions. x8toolbox is the best!!! all the best and hope it works out for you.

I would recommend to try the older version of Flashtool (0.8.6)- you can find at the "Previous release" tab at the download site (http://androxyde.github.com). Don't forget to install the drivers from the \Flashtool\drivers folder.

i guess you are new to this phone. you have a soft brick. install Sony PC companion and go to 'support' and repair your phone manually by following the instructions there. nothing to worry.
next,you cannot install minicm9 without unlocking bootloader and without unlocking boot loader, you can't flash custom kernel required for minicm. unlocking bootloader is a bit risky. remove your battery and look for the digits in the form of 11w29. if your phone has anything equal to or above 11w29 (like 11w30 or 11w44), you CANNOT unlock bootloader. you have to flash roms compatible with your custom kernel. so better stick with the stock kernel if you don't want to risk it. i suggest you could try kuyadroid or gingerxperia or froyobread or honeyfroyo

ROM flash
[Thank you 666shanx! Yes, it helped. Yes, I am new. It is my wife's phone which is fed up with the system (slow, small RAM menory), but she loves this hardware (red, small, hw keyboard). So I wanted to install other version of system to improve it.
I have 11w6. it means I can unlock bootloader. But, if could help me to flash the stock roms to improve the system, maybe I would do it like that.
Am I right?
Thank you!
Yes you could unlock bootloader. But you don't necessarily need to. Try flashing 'kuyadroid'. It installs on stock and DOESN'T NEED UNLOCK!
There are a lot of threads which teach you how to unlock. Search a bit for them. You need flashtool for it, which I guess you already have. Here's one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821750
But before all that just try kuyadroid. I bet you'll love it

what do you mean?
there is no miniCM roms for x10 (x10i); only for x10mini (e10/robyn), x10minipro (u20/mimmi) and x8/w8 (e15/shakira)
and each rom version is device specific and wont work on other devices.
I've already explained to him that minicm roms do not work. I've given him a link of roms which work on all the phones I mentioned...

Just an addition before New Year's Day.
Since the last firmware, is not yet been rooted, i followed zdzihu's method and made a rooted firmware with xrecovery already installed.
In order to install this firmware, you need to install xrecovery first.
Also if you have already flashed with 2.0.2.A.0.24 through SEUS, please downgrade!
Requirements:
DOWNLOAD>>X10 mini flasher
DOWNLOAD>>2.0.2.A.0.24PACK.tar.bz2
You will also need an X10 mini rooted with xrecovery installed
Instructions:
1. Download and unpack 2.0.2.A.0.24PACK.tar.bz2. It contains 2 files: update.zip and 2.0.2.A.0.24FlasherFiles folder
2. Copy update.zip to SD Card
3. Copy 2.0.2.A.0.24FlasherFiles folder inside the flasher's folder.
4. Boot into xRecovery and install update.zip
5. Open flasher and press "Flash" tab
6. Choose "2.0.2.A.0.24FlasherFiles" and flasher will show "Searching for Xperia..."
7. Plug the phone on usb
8. Choose "Reboot" option on recovery and right after the screen goes blank, keep the "back" button pressed until the green light is on.
If you don't succeed at first, press home and on/off button while connected on usb and simultaneusly "back" button.
Make sure you understand the installation process before you try!
EDIT
If by any chance you have installed a new theme and you want to go back to the stock one,
DOWNLOAD STOCK THEME, and flash it through recovery
All credits go to:
zdzihu, for xrecovery and for all this actually, as i followed his method.
Bin4ry for the flasher, saved my @ss from many many bricks.
aZuZu for his SIN2IMG tool. Works great!
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY, IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
USING THIS METHOD AND FILES, IS DONE BY YOUR OWN CHOICE.
Happy New Year, everyone!

hi
hi there. what is new on the firmware?
Just the new update that Sony Ericsson provides.
The difference on this one, is that it comes prerooted (there is no other known method to root 2.0.2.A.0.24 till now) and with xrecovery installed.
D_d
Gonna try it on my sister's mini , asap! Nice job D_d!
Great work Mate big thanks to all the contributors!!!

JIT and app2sd should work fine.
A 2.0.A.0.504 framework-res.apk has 981 images in drawable-ldpi folder whereas the 2.0.2.A.0.24 framework-res.apk has 982.
It should also work but we can find out only if someone tests it.
*EDIT* Tested with Iridium Carbon (which has modded android.policy.jar and framework.jar) and is working properly.
How can I downgrade?
Thanks!!!
Thanks for this mate........
first i'll downgrade and then i'll try urs method on X10 mini.........Again Many thanks for ur contribution.
BTW could you tell me please that how to downgrade my MINI.(Any link)
just use the flasher posted above, downgrading is not necessary as such...
Are you sure becoz its written there that if you already on 2.1 update...then you first need to downgrade and root ur phone.
Awesome
Its working for me.
Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 firmware + root + xrecovery + app2sd + jit
Did you downgraded ur firmware or rooted ur phone before flashing to 2.1.....

Hi everyone
I know this site for months and I'm actively looking for rooting and adding a ROM on my X10. But I'm not english (I'm french) so I don't understand all the things on this site, and as far as I know, if something goes wrong, my X10i can be blocked.
So I'm asking for somebody who could lend me a hand (I'm not sure about the expression ) to have root access on my phone, and by the way if it's possible, install a rom (Android 2.2 or 2.3 and stable if possible) on it.
By the way, I'm on 2.1-update1 (dualtouch I suppose) my Baseband version is 2.1.54.
Thank you in advance

Here is a tool that will help you root and do everything for fixing the phone in case you mess up.

Guide to Flashtool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10879507#post10879507
If you have questions, feel free to keep asking.
Already have a question ^^
In the Flashtool Guide for n00bies, there is that point I suppose I have to follow :
1. ROOT ACCESS
To gain root acces it`s quite easy. Just have to do this:
1. On your phone check "debbuging mode" on Setting > Applications > Development
2. Plug you USB cable
3. Open your flashtool and click on Root box
4. Wait a few seconds and your phone will rebbot
5. Voilà
When I open flashtool, I can't press on the "Root" box. The only one activated is the "Flash" box. I unchecked and checked again the debugging mode. Did I miss something between point 2 and 3 ?
Oh and by the way, for the How To For Noobies, do I have to follow all the points one by one ? Or can I pass all, and immediately go on the "how to root and more ..." point (5th post) ?

By the way, I've got a question, is it possible to have a dualboot or something like this, like Windows and Linux on the computer ?
If you have xRecovery installed you can boot into xRecovery mode....then from there, do a restore or backup.....or load other ROMs.
You could have several different ROMs.
For months I kept the stock ROM, eventually I just removed it and installed another ROM.

01.DOWNLOAD THE ROM
02.GOTO XRECOVERY
03.IN RCVRY- Do a factory reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Wipe Dalvick cache
Wipe Battery stat
04. INSTALL COUSTOM ZIP
05.REBOOT
dats all
but AS U KNW INSTALLING ACHOTJAN ROM U NEED TO DO INSTALL UPDATE ZIP..... NOT INSTALL CUSTOM ZIP
GOT IT......
Yeah but if I do a factory reset, etc, I'll lose the old rom, so how to keep both in a dualboot, without deleting everything ?
When you create a backup of the original/stock ROM, copy the file or folder off the phone onto your computer.
I went through rooting and installing a ROM here -
http://androidforums.com/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10/371128-xrecovery-wont-install.html
I hate to post from another site, but here is what I did:
Alright....I'm going through the steps again to update my phone. Then I am gonna head to a buddies and do his.
Let's see if I can get this right.
I am going to load BlueSparks.
So I goto Blue Sparks and download the zip....unzip the BlueSparks zip and then put it in a folder on the sdcard in /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/Blue_Sparks written exactly like that (or it will give a md5 mismatch)
unzip the contents there (the .img file and stuff)
I then download and install the [TOOL] [UPDATE 22/03/2011] Flashtool BETA version 0.2.9.1 - xda-developers . I run it....click root and flash the phone with Baseband 2.1.67
Then I restart the phone. I make sure debugging is checked and Unknown Sources are checked. I use Adao File Manager and go to /sdcard/xRecovery I run xRecovery0.3.apk and I click Install
Then I open xRecovery from the app menu...I click Install and it brings up a message from SuperUser asking for permission. I click Allow.
That didn't do it.
I reset phone to factory default.
Started x10 Tool....plugged phone back in after reset.....turned debugging back on....and Unknown Sources. I clicked APK Installer and chose the xRecovery0.3.apk and installed that. Then I clicked Root again at the top.
Then I unplugged the phone and restarted.
I tried in x10 Tool again...clicked Ask Root Perm and it prompted me on the phone to access using SuperUser....now in x10 Tool I can click on xRecovery Then went under x10 Tool menu at the top and chose Reboot in xRecovery mode.
Finally in xRecovery. Factory Reset....yes
Wipe Cache Partition
Then under Advanced, Wiped Dalvik and Wiped Battery Stats.
Then in xRecovery I have to chose Restore and point to that folder....then it restores the image.
Reboot after the couple minutes it takes to install.
And that's it. Done....upgraded and ROMd.

Hi everyone,
I still haven't gotten a response in xrecovery and flashtool threads for 4 days (Doom got his phone bricked and Crowds hasn't been online unfortunately) so I will post it here in hope that I will get a response a little bit faster:
I am *still* on 2.1. and I am planning on installing DoomLord's custom 2.3.3. stock rom with xrecovery installed and root. Then when I see how stock works I would install some real custom rom to get the best out of x10.
Now, since I can't install xrecovery on my x10 (at least I think so because it says in the thread that 2.3. android is required and I dont have it so I doubt that it will work if I manually install it?) I believe I have to use titanium backup (I've rooted my phone) to back everything up (my concern are the game data files but if I do a whole system backup those are backed up too right? at least it says so...) and then when I flash Doom's 2.3.3. stock rom I would restore everything with TB and back everything up with xrecovery, flash another custom rom and restore everything with xrecovery and use my phone normally,
Is this possible to do and is it a good idea?

xRecovery can be installed on the 2.1 rom through the regular .3 recovery tool, from there I would create my backup

you mean I can download the 0.3GBready xrecovery rar file and install it through flashtool?
EDIT: and would it also work if I install the xrecovery that comes with flashtool? no need to download 0.3? and then restore with the xrecovery that comes with the rom?

You can use flashtool with xrecovery included. Any version.

HI evryone,
I am just a beginner using android for few months... My device is Xperia X10 Mini pro U20i..
I tried to upgrade to MIniCM9 3.0.1 from CM7 (CM7 was working wel, i just wanted to upgrade)..
I downloaded MiniCM9-3.0.1 [5/5/12]ICS 4.0.4/CM9 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636501
I wiped cache, user data and dalvik cache n tried to install CM9 rom.. It installed successfully, but I received a warning message. 'Should have kernel flashed to atleast ics-nAa 01' like dat...
But when i rebooted, it didnt go beyond d Sony Ericsson logo.. I went back to stock 2.1 using SEUS..
Then I rooted mobile using SuperOneClick 1.6.5 n rooted successfully. But wen i flashed the kernel 'U20_nAa-ics_01_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-01.ftf' or 'U20_nAa-ics_01_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-02.ftf' from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636504, it couldnt flash.. I get an error ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"..
I tried flashing with flashtool 0.2.9.1 and with flashtool 0.7.1.0 but i couldnt get it done..
Can anyone help me with dis? Why do i receive dat error message? How can I upgrade to CM9??
While upgrading to CM7, I never flashed my device. I just rooted it, installed xrecovery n cleared factory data, disk cache, dalvik cache n installed d rom... So, is there any similar way to install CM9 also without using flashtool?
Thanks..
You need a custom kernel for MiniCM9, and the reason you can not flash this kernel is because your bootloader is locked. In the kernel thread there is a link to the tutorial on unlocking your bootloader, but please be careful, it doesn't work for everyone
Thanks for dat...
Is there a way we can install CM9 on U20i without unlocking bootloader?
Also, plz tell, does SEUS work after unlocking bootloader?
No you can't install MiniCM9 on anything other than the nAa-ICS kernel, and for that you need an unlocked bootloader
Yes, seus or pc companion will still work with an unlocked bootloader. the worst that can happen when unlocking the bootloader is that you will lose the ability to use your phone as a phone (disabled radio-capabilities). Check if it still works before flashing a kernel and custom rom, if it doesn't relock the bootloader and stay on stock kernel.
How to relock Bootloader? Link for U20i Stock Kernel..
Oh. Thanks a lot..
How to relock bootloader? I saw in a forum somewhere that there s no way to relock bootloader..
Also I tried to download the stock kernel for U20i from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225... They have given the link for downloading the stock kernel as http://db.tt/ukt80PBn
But the link doesnt work. I have searched many times but could neither open it nor find alternative link.. Can u plz tell any alternative link for it?
Thanks so much for ur responses..
First of all, you can relock your bootloader using S1Tool (by pressing the restore button), but if it is succesfully unlocked there is no need to relock it at all, unless you need to take it back to the shop for repairs under warranty.
(I can't remember where i got the latest version of S1tool from, i'll search for it later if you need it)
as far as the stock kernel is concerned, just do a repair with pc companion or maybe seus, i usually use pc companion. it won't relock your bootloader but will install a fresh stock kernel and rom. After that you can root, install recovery or cwm whatever you used and restore the backup you hopefully made of your MiniCM7 rom.
Mind you: At this moment Minicm9 is not an upgrade yet in the sense that it will make your phone work better or easier, it's still very early in development and not that easy to get working well, if you need your phone on a day-to-day basis, stick with MiniCM7 for now.
Thanks a lot for that info..
I hav no complaints wid CM7. I just wanted to upgrade to ICS since it is out there.
I'll try unlocking bootloader n cm9. I'll go back to cm7 if it doesnt work or if it isnt suited for day-to-day operations..
Thanks so mch for ur help.. I ve understood a lot.. Thanx again.. :-D
If u find d link for S1tool, kindly post it..

If you want to run MiniCM7, by nAa, you need to unlock your bootloader and flash the nAa GB kernel (currently at version 13).
If you want to run MiniCM7Pro, you can run it without a custom kernel and without unlocking your bootloader.
They are two different ROMS with almost the same name, i can understand why that can be a bit confusing
MiniCM7Pro
Thank you very much SmG67, for your fast and valuable reply. Am a newbie here and I am trying to learn the things.Your information is really cleared my fear about bricking. I have few doubts to share with you sir,
What is the main difference between minicm7 and minicm7pro ?
If I opt minicm7pro now, then Can I upgrade or install minicm9 later ?
Minicm7pro by Bpaul is not giving any instruction for how to install it. So where can I get the instructions

Minicm7Pro was a port to the x10mini-pro from early MiniCM7 for the x10-mini, but it got updated to the latest Gingerbread, while still working with the stock kernel, minicm7 was released later and moved to the nAa-custom kernel, which gave it some performance benefits.
If you can unlock your bootloader, you can flash any kernel and rom you like that is available for your phone, but MiniCM7Pro or ArcMini Nxt (which runs on just about any kernel) are good places to start anyway.
for installing MiniCM7Pro you need:
2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware with *4015 baseband (check Settings - About Phone, the baseband should end in 4015)
Rooted phone
ClockWorkMod Recovery
Copy the MiniCM7Pro zip to your sd-card
Boot into CWM (press back-button on the kernel-logo)
Do a backup
Install the ROM
Wipe factory-data/reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache (in CWM advanced)
Wipe Batttery Stats (in CWM advanced)
Reboot and enjoy
MiniCM7Pro
Thank you very much, and I am now looking into how to install it on my device.Because minicm7pro thread is not giving any step by step instruction to install it. I am really appreciating your help. Good day

hi... My x10 mini pro running on Minicm7 pro by paul and stock kernel.I installed it according to your advice and I appreciating your helping words. Now I would like to move to ICS rom and nAa kernel. I have few doubts regarding installation.
1. Do I need to go back to old 2.1 factory ROM before flashing ics and ics nAa kernel ?
2. If yes, How can I install old SE rom ?
3. Can I install MiniCm9 over JB nAa kernel ? because it will reduce my job when am moving to ics to JB rom
Thx

hi! I have x10 mini e10i and want to install custom rom even if its just running on 2.2 or 2.3.
My phone is 2.1-update 1, rooted, cwm installed but locked bootloader.
I can see some post that you can install custom rom on locked bootloader and stock kernel
Can someone make a "NEW" tutorial on how to install custom rom on locked bootloader on x10 mini e10i (not pro).

You have to use a ROM that supports the stock kernel. So all you do is download a ROM zip and flash CWM Recovery. An example is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201116 It should work on X10 Mini BTW.

I finally installed cm6 on my phone. But i still have problem. It always restarting after the sony ericsson text (not the logo) but sometimes it can open 'til the homescreen but still it will shut down automatically.
I tried pc companion but when i try to connect my phone, its just restarting all over. I thought if I would install a custom rom, it will repair the phone.
What's the difference between flashing the phone via pc companion and installing custom rom via cwm recovery?

You can use the 2.1.1.C.0.0 ROM. It was an update for the x10 mini pro in certain areas, but it will run on the x10 mini too, since there is no hardware specific stuff in the ROM itself. You will probably lose root and cwm though when you flash it.
I've got an 'undressed' 2.1.1.A.0.6 I made for myself in zip-format which includes root and cwm, but i took out all the google stuff, so there's no market in it.
If you want to know if your phone is ok, just wipe everything and install the 2.1.1.C.0.0.
