I have an Xperia Mini (St15i) which is rooted on firmware .431 with an unlocked bootloader. Currently i'm running CM 9.1 and want to change it to ZellyCream 1.3.0 which is for firmware .587. I want to upgrade to .587 without the loss of root and not bricking it. Can anybody please help? I searched XDA, google and CIGTFY for some solution but couldn't find it. I'm sorry if there is a same thread but i couldn't find it.
( FYI i managed to flash zellycream but it's full of bugs which other users don't have, might be because of firmware)
Since u have unlocked bl so no worries. Just flash any kernel compatible with the ROM and the bugs might be faced due to incorrect wipes. Do all the wipes mentioned in the ROM thread.
Press THANKS if I helped,

Thanks for the reply man
Well i did everything mentioned in the instructions and as for flashing roms, whenever i flashed a rom with .587 firmware I have always faced some problems :silly: . This happened 2-3 times. Even in ZellyCream, i have bugs. Media scanner only recognizes about 150 songs whereas i have 500+ songs in THE SAME FOLDER. Same happens with photos. Only displays about 30-40 pictures! Also the camera quality, is bad. BTW that rom has cybershot and I get still blurred images. I flashed Lupus V2 (kernel) which is compatible with my phone and rom but still these problems occur.
Is there any way to flash the firmware (.587) just like flashing a rom?
And also it dosen't matter what firmware I'm on, if so then no need to flash the firmware right?
FYI- Clicked the thanks button :highfive:

You can flash stock ftf via flashtool or try using areniks .587 ROM which is flashable zip(Search in dev section). And then try it btw can it be something related to hardware coz on unlocked bl if u flash .587 kernel then ROM then no such probs occur. Anyways try flashing areniks ROM and then flash any other .587 based ROM oveer it

Hi All,
I installed a custom ROM (HYBROM v17) on my XMP a couple of weeks back. I now want to flash the just released stock ICS firmware to my device.
Will this cause a problem? Do I have to install the Stock ROM before flashing the ICS firmware?

If you want to flash the ftf of 4.0.4 using flashtool, you can do it right away. Check
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1690704
For more info.
Thanks,
Rick
Hit Thanks if I helped in anyway.
Thank you but my concern is whether I will face any issues installing ICS firmware while on a Custom ROM that, if I remember well, cited that it is based on .62 firmware.

Basically flashtool will clear the rom on your phone and install the ICS fw on it.
Including baseband and kernel.
So if you have GB on it with .62fw, it does not matter.
The thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1690704 already answers your questions about upgrading to ICS.

Great if that's true! Thank you so much
This will work
I can confirm that going from Hybrom V17 to the stock ICS works nicely.

Okay. then, do this.
Choose any ROM you like.
Flash via Flashtools base firmware(If you choose a GB rom then Flash any Gingerbread Stock Firmware, if you choose an ICS then flash any ICS Stock Firm..)
Flash any compatible kernel
Turn your phone on and enter cwm Recovery
Flash te ROM and do all wipes that ROM requires(its on OP of the ROM you 've selected)
Reboot and hope it works well!
Hope this can solve your problem

FYI : if you already unlock the bootloader, you don't have to root it anymore....just flash any custom kernel into your phone...all custom kernel is pre-rooted and have CWM be default....
flash any custom kernel first, then you can install any custom roms or official roms with losing your root....

A good kernel, like any other software, is a kernel that works, if it doesn't it's not so good.
Have you followed the instructions how to install it, wiping dalvik cache or such?
EDIT: BTW do you have the ftf file for the formware you are using? The kernel is there you can flash it with flashtool no wipes and excluding all other packages.

As you can see by my signature I have Xperia P so I know nothing about Sola custom kernel.
I have tried many custom kernels for my phone and came to the conclusion it's not worth messing with, I am very happy with stock kernel.
