Guys,
I just bought the Xperia U but it came with a lot of bloatware from the
cellphone operator which sux. I would like to install a clean original Sony
rom but I have no idea on where to do download it neither how to install.
I know that ICS is already available as an update for the Xperia U, but I
heard a lot of people complaining about the performance drop after the update.
So I prefer the 2.3 rom instead of 4.0.
Thanks a lot!

i want gingerbread 2.3 sony stock rom , is there any flashable zip files for it ? or atleast i want the stock firmware download link? can someone plzzzz giv me that
All 2010 devices from sony ( x10, x8, x10 mini, x10 mini pro and whatever i forgot to mention ) have been given an update to Android 2.1 (Eclair) and that's it.
There is no Stock Rom for our devices from there on, so no Froyo or Gingerbread. The reason this site exists is to allow us to bypass the limitations set by the hardware manufacturers and run software beyond what they give us.
So, if you want Froyo or Gingerbread.. run a custom rom, you can find many of them in the development section of this forum. If you want Gingerbread or ICS stock.. buy a newer device from Sony

Just in case you're not aware of it, your phone needs an unlocked bootloader to do that, pay very close attention to see if your simlock-certificate is supported, otherwise you will lose the capability to use it as a phone.
Kernel: nAa kernel for gingerbread
Rom:MiniCM7-2.2.0
Sony style: Sony Ericsson Stock Mod
Have fun with it
I read all phones discussion about ics and going to this point.
Sony giving worth ics update for all nxt series phone I didnt understand why. I expected much more from sony.
My suggestion is dont update ics in your device using prerooted gingerbread zip and enjoy its lagg free.
Hi friends,
I am pretty new to this forum and before a couple of days i did a research regarding Flashing Kernals and Roms(Dont knw whether my concepts regarding that is right or wrong) and currently i have installed Cyanogen 9.1 for my device.Now let me ask a couple of questions i have for you guys.
1.Will I be able to update my phone and bring back to old ICS firmware via SUS once i brick my phone(I have already unlocked the bootloader via fastboot method)?
2.Evrytime when i flash the Rom(say CM9) i used to flash kernal(boot.img) for the respective rom.Is this necessary all the time?
Will i able to flash a GB rom on ICS kernal(I am afraid to give it a test)?
3.Regarding CM9.1 which i have installed ryt now,I am satisfied with the performance,but i want a stable ROM wud make me happy with a better battery life unlike CM9.1.So could you pls suggest me a GB/ICS ROM which wud have a stable performance with descent battery life.
4.After using GB for a long time,i was very much addicted with the Phone pad kinda keyboard,but when ICS came into picture everything vanished,Smartkeyboard Pro is no gud,Touchpal is conjusted,i want the exact GB keyboard in ICS.Any ideas?!!
Regards
Hazil A.M.
Phone: Xperia Ray
Bootloacker:Unlocked
ROM: GB Stock Rom
1. U need to relock ur bootloader to update ur phone through SUS
2.no need of of flashing kernel every time u flash...if its a stock based Rom u need a stock based kernel...
And u cant fhash ics on top GB kernel..
3.search around ray development forum and try some roms and choose which is best for u..
4.CM9 has a different type of keyboard..some stock based keyboard wont work...but Xperia s keyboard will work..
Sent from my SK17i using XDA Premium HD app
i tried to root my old Xperia mini pro and flash it with cyanogenmod 9.1 some time ago. I experienced some issues, for example that the hardware keyboard did not work as i wanted it, and that i couldn't change the layout, so i decided to go back to stock rom...
But now, I can't find the right rom to flash it with - all the roms I have tried, is the wrong layout for the H/W keyboard.
So more specifically, I'm looking for the stock rom with the Danish/Nordic Layout (we got some special letters like Æ, Ø, Å, which are quite crucial!). If anyone knows where to find that specific rom with that specific layout are you more than welcome to post it (and i will thanl you for all eternity!!)
Here should be the right ftf for you. It's an old gb rom (4.0.2.A.0.42), but you could update with pc companion on ics and flash a prerooted kernel to gain root again

Thanks! But the link in the forum does unfortunately not work any more...
Just tried and it works here...
Hello guys! U believe it or not I still use my Xperia mini pro and I have cianogen mod 2,1 android. Is there any good working ROM etc etc to resurrect it again? (I have other phones too) but I love this little guy
There's a new compact Xperia to be released tomorrow. I don't think it'll be as compact as the Xperia mini pro though. The only 11 year old phone I know of which is still seeing recent development is the Samsung Galaxy SII i9100.

Well, believe it or not, you're not the only one I'm still using Xperia Mini as my main phone actually (never had the Pro version, thinking also of getting one to play with it, but I love my Mini and will probably never replace it).
I might help you with your request, tell me which ROM would you like to try, for Marshmallow (Android 6) or Lineage (Android 7)? You can PM me also if you like.
I love these little devices of mine, but unfortunately I no longer use them because there is not enough space (storage):
1. I definitely want to write with them 2. and with my goddaughter / niece (who saw them and wants to use one when we spend time together)
The problem is that I no longer remember how to root. The factory ROM can be enough for me and I can remove the excess to have minimal storage space, I want to write (text editor, maybe e-mail) and e.g. Total Commander sw and possibly retro games designed for this screen resolution... : )))
Please help me with this! I might also be interested in a custom ROM. 8)
Best regards,
John

This phone is perfect and I wish for a re release..thank you for ur help!! Well from both sound good! I have cyanogen mod 2.1 and old recovery and non tutorials any more out there. U have any tutorial?
I've never stopped using this phone since I bought one many years ago.... I've had more than I can remember... I dont need apps, chat, BS.... just calls, text and camera (and some internet... google search etc) and of course, a keyboard. This phone is perfection.
It still looks like a modern phone today, in fact it looks more modern than the latest phones, I always have people aask me about my phone.
Anyway, I recently lost mine and had to get a replacement and I lost my HDD that contained all of the old firmware.
I'm looking for the stock .587 FW with android ICS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-sk17-mini-pro-4-1-b-0-587-generic-version.1907994/
But all links are dead and I cant find it anywhere online. Does anyone still have it?

Not sure which one you exactly are looking for but I hope one will fit your needs. Please note that I have not tested any of those as I don't have Mini Pro. I just googled the links. Best of luck.
Thank you mate, I'm in UK so was looking for the "generic world" one, I got the first 2 you posted on download, thanks.
