Hello XDA, I know there haz been a lot of tutorials on this, but still, what the heck, I will do it again!
FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS I WILL GIVE U! IT MAY END IN HARD BRICK, OR SOFT BRICK, ANYWAY BRICK.
I am not responsible if you brick your phone, it might happen if you don't do everything right!
Okay, let's get started!
Step 1. Unlock your bootloader, I will give you a link right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
Step 2. Download Flashtool. Link: http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/tool/flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/
Step 3. Download the kernel that you want to flash, but download the kernel (.ftf) file and place it in the "Firmware" folder found in the Flashtool folder. And delete the XperiaBLRelock file. Okay, the only file in that folder. If u flash that, it might cause a brick.
Step 4. Download Gordon's Gate. Link: http://www.2shared.com/file/VUB0VI6R/gg-setup.html
Step 5. Install your phone, and flash drivers (SEMC Flash Driver or smth.).
Step 6. Open Flashtool, then connect your phone, if it finds it then click on that thunderbolt on the left, choose your kernel .ftf file there, and press okay!
Step 7. Now do what the Flashtool tells you, then if it finds your phone in flashmode it will start flashing.
And now you are done!
Please hit "THANKS" if this helped you in some way

Hello,
I did as above with DoomKernal and ROM from AX_x10i and I can't get back the initial logo start up. I see the DoomKernal image and then the animation from the ROM keeps repeating. I have tried a few ROMs in the last 2 days and can't get past the startup animation.
What am I doing wrong?
I am using a Xperia X10i which has Gingerbread 2.3.3.
Thanks

I would ask in the x10 forum if I were you, this section is for the x10mini (E10) or x10mini pro (u20). But in general, if you get stuck on the bootlogo of the ROM and not the kernel, you may need to boot into Recovery and do:
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Go into advanced and do: Wipe Dalvik Cache.
You will lose all your settings and things like messages and contact list in that way, but it will get you booted into the ROM, usually.

1. You use a program called SuperOneClick (I uploaded that just now as well): http://www.mediafire.com/?4j7b6sgeiadkx09
After root, do not run a root test. Also, don't forget to reboot your device for the root to success.
2. First, you need something called CWM Recovery, follow my link and follow the instructions I made in the rar package: http://www.mediafire.com/?kvhq30gbqqkz6li
BUT!! DO NOT FORGET TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ROM VERY THOROUGHLY! Many people forget to read THIS:
Installing MiniCM7
Download the latest MiniCM7 ROM from the 'Downloads' page
Backup your /data contents: contacts, apps, sms, etc.
Rename the 'release'.zip file to update.zip
Download the latest Google Apps for CM7 from here
Copy the update.zip, as well as the downloaded Google Apps for CM7 zip that you previously downloaded to your sdcard (top level)
Reboot to CWM recovery
Keep a backup of your current status using CWM's Backup & Restore in case you want to restore.
Select 'wipe data/factory reset' if you were not already using MiniCM7
Select 'apply update from sdcard' from the top menu of CWM recovery
Flash the Google Apps for CM7 zip you previously downloaded via 'install zip from sdcard'
Reboot (first boot will take ~2 mins)
Once your device has booted, you can navigate to CM Settings -> System -> Update notifications and select 'Register'. This way you can get update notifications on new versions of MiniCM7!

Follow the above instructions very thoroughly or you might get stuck in a boot-loop, phone not booting at all or you might face WIFI/Bluetooth problems.

Why dont u flash custom roms directly since you are already using a custom rom?
thanks for the reply!
I tried to backup phone to first setup but nothing... I have rooted it through z4root and the only 2.3 that I found is the official and some custom under development. I hate the fact that camera doesn not work normal and has only the "macro" option.
There are many good roms in the development section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=617&order=desc).
I personally like Wolf's rom, as it is very stable, and has Bravia & xLoud in it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192988
damn! Phone stuck at SE logo!
MAYDAY! Please help!!!
Hi, which rom did you flash? And it is normal for the phone to load a little longer (wait up to 5 minutes) for its first boot.
I put in SD wolf's rom, "install custom zip" through xRecovery, reboot, the end...
I have SE logo for 15'. Nothing happens
Wolfbreak said:
How to install this ROM?! [Fresh Install]
Reboot into xRecovery and make a back-up of your current ROM. (You'll need a working xRecovery or else it will say Device/SD Card busy).
Wipe the following in xRecovery:
Factory Reset (Full wipe)
Wipe Cache Partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Go to install Custom Zip and choose Wolf_GB_2.3_TW_V4.zip
The following steps are only required if you don't have the new 2.3 kernel and .71 baseband, if you do have them you can reboot your phone and enjoy this ROM.
Turn off the phone by taking out your battery when ROM installation is finished
Open Flashtool and flash the FTF Bundle I made available for download. Press on Flash and follow the steps given to put your x10 into flashmode and flash the baseband and kernel.
When Flashtool is finished you can plug out the USB, turn your phone on and enjoy this ROM!

Did you follow the instructions here? You will need to follow ALL instructions, just installing with custom zip will not work.
FINALLY!!! I made it! My mistake was the flashing and phone was not able to read sim. Thanks a lot!!! 100000 thanks for your time and your help!
No problem.
You can use wotanserver
I installed Wolf's rom but I do not see the Bravia engine option. Can you help me a bit?
Just flash this with xRecovery.

Hello,
First I want to thank all xda-developers for their work!
They do even better work then the providers!
Question 1:
Well my question is that I want to flash my SE Xperia X10 Mini.
I already unlocked the bootloader with the following guide:
Link 1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
Although now I want to flash the kernel.
In the thread (link 1) stands how to flash the kernel.
But also in the following thread of the ROM that I want to install after worths:
Link 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553
Link 1 says that I don't must flash any .sin files.
Although link 2 says I need to flash the kernel.sin and the loader.sin.
This getting me confused, now I don't know what I need to follow?
Question 2:
Also at the link 1 it talks about a .ftf file that I can't find.
Where can I find that?
Question 3:
In link 2 when i download the ROM I get a file called "A MiniCM7-2.1.1_nAa-kernel02.7z".
So it says it got a kernel inside (I guess thats the .ftf file) but I can't find it inside it.
Anybody knows where I could find that?
Thanks in advance.
Greetz,
Jan2426
I think you have wrong link to get custom kernel, find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256739 see instal guide, there the link kernel ftf file.
Before flash that kernel you must flash the ROM in Link 2.
to flash custom kernel you must download ftf file if you had zip, extract and you will get ftf and put that in folder flashtool/firmware, and you can see there 2 file.sin in there from flashtool.
If i can help you don't forget to press thanks button.
Thanks for your quick response!
U helped me to the right direction already.
Although i still have a question left.
Question 1:
To flash the ROM I just need to copy it to the root of the SD-card?
Thanks in advance.
Greetz,
Jan2426
Copy Rom ( *.zip) to the SD Card ,
in the ClockworkMod choose option
- install zip from sdcard then
- choose zip from sdcard then
find file with ROM and apply
VOILA
of course I assume that you have ClockworworkMod installed

5. advance>wipe dalvik cache
6. instal zip from sd card and chose ROM.

EDIT:
At the moment I wanted to flash my phone I am still confused (sorry guys for my slow understanding).
To flash it by this following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256739
He says:
Flash the kernel via Flashtool
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Although that gives me to less details how to flash is correctly.
On the following link there is more details about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553
He says:
Flash the nAa kernel using Flashtool. To to this:
- Turn off your phone
- Start the Flashtool\X10FlashTool.exe and select Flash. Then select the E10_nAaxxx kernel firmware (this flashes both the kernel.sin and the loader.sin)
- Keep the back button pressed while connecting the usb cable. Flashtool should detect your phone and flash the kernel.
- Once done, disconnect the usb cable and power on the phone.

And the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
Says this:
Generally you have to delete all the files in /system/lib/modules before flashing a custom kernel!
c. Put the (kernel name).ftf file in the /firmwares folder. (Don't flash any .sin files, flash only the .ftf file.)
d. Open Flashtool.
e. Click Flash.
f. Select (kernel name).ftf.
g. Turn off your phone.
h. Connect your phone in flash mode (only when the popup window prompts for you to do so). (To boot into flash mode, press and hold back button while connecting your phone to the PC using an usb cable).
i. Disconnect your phone (do so only when the popup window to prompts you to disconnect your phone).
j. Reboot and you have a custom kernel!
k. Confirm by going to Settings --> About Phone --> Kernel version. It should have the name of the kernel you flashed.
m. To flash back to stock kernel, download the appropriate file below and follow steps listed above.

Which one is the best to follow for my SE Xperia X10 Mini (E10i)?
Steps I already have taken:
1. Unlock the bootloader.
2. Install FlashTool v0.2.9.1 beta.
3. Put the .ftf file into the following folder: /firmwares.
4. Put the custom ROM (the .zip file) into the root of my SD card.
So far all successful.
sorry, maybe because I use the Mini Pro not mini.
Please follow the instructions in the ROM thread, I think everything is clear.
and all the materials you prepare is correct, good luck
No problem
And thanks again I will follow that guide now.
I am charging my mobile now to 100% now before I start.
Although I installed ROM manager but didn't do anything with it yet.
Should I do something with it before flashing or?
I have totally no experience with the ROM manager.
Anybody could give a short guide how to use the ROM manager and where it's good for?
I am sorry I keep asking questions but I am a bit nervous about flashing my mobile.
I don't want to brick it hehe
EDIT:
Do I need to delete all files in "/system/lib/modules" before flashing?
There is only the following items in it:
sdio.ko
tiwlan_drv.ko

Have you installed the Recovery CWM?
You don't need ROM manager.
No need to remove the module, if the ROM is compatible with a custom kernel.
At this following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553
or:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
Stands nothing from Recovery CWM.
Do I then still need to install it?
Also if I need to do I need to install it before or after flashing the kernel?
Or is it included by flashing the kernel?
EDIT:
I notice that I keep getting in a circle of keep asking questions.
I will try to break this circle with the following.
Tell me how far it's done:
- Good.
- Bad.
- What else need to be done.
- What need to be changed.
I'm sorry that I keep asking these questions, but like I said before I am getting bit nervous about flashing my phone.
Although I want to do it because SE stopped with giving us updates and I am stuck with 2.1-update1
Step 1: Root phone (done successful).
Step 2: Unlock bootloader (done successful).
Step 3: Flash kernel (not done).
Step 3a: Turn off your phone
Step 3b: Start the Flashtool\X10FlashTool.exe and select Flash. Then select the E10_nAaxxx kernel firmware (this flashes both the kernel.sin and the loader.sin)
Step 3c: Keep the back button pressed while connecting the usb cable. Flashtool should detect your phone and flash the kernel.
Step 3e: Once done, disconnect the usb cable and power on the phone.
Step 4: Install Recovery CWM (not done).
Step 4a: Don't know what to do here?
Do i need to install it actually?
NOTE:I also heard something about Busybox, but I don't know much about that either and is it needed?
Short explanation about the colors:
Green: done successful
Orange: I think it's the right way to do not sure and not done.
Red: I am confused and don't know what to do.
Thanks in advance.

GOOD
Make sure has been successful flash custom kernel:
go to settings> about phone and see if the kernel version is 2.6.29 SEMCUser @ SEMCHost # 1 you have not succeeded. but if his version is compatible with the kernel name or initials, you've managed to flash a custom kernel.
I read the thread nAa kernel, CWM recovery already in the kernel. to be sure reboot the phone, wait a moment will live on and the screen appeared an image or text first on press back button. iff you in to the recovery menu (for navigation, home to select).
please proceed to the next step in ROM instalation guide.
So I can untill ROM manager and busybox from my mobile?
They are not needed?

if your phone has been root, you don't need busybox. because it's already installed on the phone when in root. (I assume if your phone already in root)
ROM manager i think it, s optional.

Although I got one last question (I hope ).
How do I backup my ROM that I use now (the standard thats on every SE X10 Mini)?
So if something goes wrong that I still got a backup.

Hello all, typical noob here.
I tried to install cyanogen 9.0 on the phone(st15i)
i followed this tutorial(at cyanogen wiki) and everything went fine up to :
On the computer, open terminal and run the following command:
fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0xfce reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then when I try o power on the phone, It won' get turned on no boot screen(battery level was full ), I tried pressing the volume buttons, while pressing the power button, no use. I can feel the vibration while holding the power key. Can any one please help me out? I tried reading some threads and tried few stuff, still no use.
Is your Bootloader unlocked? Because if your Bootloader isn't unlocked ( official method by Sony or tespoint method) you can't Flash the custom Kernel and it won't work.
Have you flashed the Kernel or Not?
Sent from my SK17i using xda app-developers app
yes, bootloader is unlocked(Sony method) , and I flashed the kernel(should i post any screen shots? I used fastboot)
Maybe Flash Sony offical Rom again (Flash Sony Kernel and then Sony official gingerbread Rom). Then try it again.
And you are sure you performed all steps of the tutorial? And everything went really fine?
Sent from my SK17i using xda app-developers app
I'm downloading official rom now. will let you know the result.
But remember to download the official kernel from sony, too! And flash the kernel and then flash the ftf file from the rom!
And then reinstall cyanogenmod. But I'm not sure if this helps anything...
Could you post the link from the tutorial?
Did it work?
the phone's now back to gingerbread, official rom worked

Then you could try it again. I don't know now if gingerbread is right, cause the cm9 rom is ics, right? Sorry but I don't know if you should root and update to ics and try it then!
Which rom was installed as you tried to install cm9 first, as it didn't work?
Could you pls post the tutorial from cm wiki?
They won't let me post the link
I was running ICS earlier . Guess I need to update now

Don't update over the air, or your phone will brick!!
Why won't they let you post the link? I don't know if it is against the forum rules, but hmm...
FIRST READ AND THEN CHOOSE IF YOU WANT TO TRY IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!
Do it like in this tutorial. But download the files from here. Then extract it, so you have got 1 packed and one extracted foler.
Then install sony flashtool and go to the flashtool installation folder on your pc and make a new folder "kernels". Then copy from the extracted cm9 folder the boot.img to the kernel folder of flashtool.
The packed package of cm9, you put on your sdcard. Then you open sony flashtool, click on the flash, choose fastboot mode and go to your created kernels folder and choose the boot.img. Make sure it is named boot!
Then connect phone in fastboot mode (volume rockers up and connect usb to pc. It will automaticly flash the kernel you have chosen.
SEE THE LOG BEFORE YOU PLUG OFF THE DEVICE!! If everything in the log is right, you can turn your phone on. When the "Free xperia project" screen comes up, you press volume down again and again, until clockworkmod comes up.
When your are in cwm just do it like in the tutorial. (Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition)
Then choose "install zip from sd card" and choose zip from cm9. Click yes and it will automaticly flash it. DON'T TURN OFF DEVICE WHILE THE PROCEDURE! Then, when it is ready you can startup your device.
I DONT TAKE ANY RESPOSIBILITY AND I'M NOT SURE IF IT CAN WORK (just installed it like this on my xperia mini pro)
Greets and keep up! In the end you will experience cyanogenmod 9!!

I downloaded this mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155803 (Zelly Cream 3.5 True Xperia Z), can't post my question there due to stupid forum rules but oh well...
Anyway, I am using WT19i LWW with locked bootloader, so stock kernel and after flashing mentioned ROM (I do every step as written there) and turning on the phone I get Sony Ericsson logo (kernel logo?) and then just black screen. I can't even enter CWM. I tried flashing back and flashing the rom again 3 times and every time the effect is the same.
Could some kind soul help me out, please? I would be most grateful.

How did you flash the rom without entering CWM? Was it in a .ftf?
I did through CWM, just as written in the installation procedure of the ROM. I should've also mentioned that every time I waited over 40 minutes for something to happen, but no luck.
i think the problem might be this (i.e) , after installing the ROM in the last step of aroma , you have to untick "reboot device" and you have to go back to cwm and reboot from there.....
It was unticked by default, so I didn't even have to. Any more ideas? ;S

@BlizzyPL fine flash stock rom again and try OR maybe try any rom and after that follow these steps
1. Wipe cache partition
2. Wipe Dalvik cache
3. go to mounts and storage and
i) format CACHE
ii) format data
iii) format system
iv) go back to cwm menu and install "Zelly Cream3.5" Zip file
if still doesn't work!! re-download the zip file and try with above steps by choosing your options carefully
