Thanks to all the guys posting in this forum.
I finally managed to:
- unlock bootloader with the hardware trick (without loosing DRM?)
- upgrade from stock FW 335 to 368
- unroot device
so far i can help anyone having troubles with it
now i need to:
- install CM7.1 using rom manager, but the question is:
which is the Clockworkmod Recovery for the SK17? (it's not listed in the RM options).
Thanks for answering

ok for reflashing boot.img w/ flash boot, but what is "recovery simple", can you try to explain how to do that? (sorry for the stupid question)

he meant recovery mode. you can enter it by pressing volume down key during first 5 seconds of boot. you should wipe data and apply cm7 zip file there.
but i cant enter it. im wondering if i have to replace boot.img first :S
yes thats right , u need to replace boot image first.

ok thanks.
people are reporting that menu LEDs are very bright. do you know if theres a way to reduce brightness or disable the light completely?
for what i know this the vol down at boot should trigger the Clockworkmod Recovery, but as I cannot install it it's obvious that we cannot see it...
inside update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaMiniPro-SK17i-signed.zip there is a boot.img but don't know how to handle it... :-/
is it that the file that should be flashed using fastboot?

yes, boot.img via fastboot.
the instructions are on the official CM thread. here's the post for Mini Pro. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16822404&postcount=4
so i must:
1: estract boot.img from update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaMiniPro-SK17i-signed.zip
2: flash via fastboot
3: put update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaMiniPro-SK17i-signed.zip on the sd card
4: trigger the recovery mode via vol down on boot
5: flash CM7.1?
right?

i believe so.
there are some issues. LEDs under menu keys are super bright, and some people are reporting vibration and keyboard layout issues. keyboard layout can be solved (theres a thread for it) and vibration could be due to not wiping data before applying CM. keyboard layout could be due it as well.
so basically, LEDs is the only known issue right now.

did you wipe data in recovery before applying zip file?
cant you enter recovery mode again with volume down key?
edit: files are the same, hotfile one just has extra apps. google apps and some SE ones.
i didnt installed the zip yet.
and i didnt enter in recovery mode too...
shall i push voldown + on button at the same time to enter recovery?

Hello,
I have unlocked my bootloader using official method on my neo v. It has Stock 2.3.4 GB with 4.0.2.A.0.69 version, So i cant root it. Now what should i do? i want to put pureness rom in my mobile. But i would need to install CWM for that and have to flash the kernel. So my question is if i flash knight elf kernel then would my stock GB boot up after that ? so that i can put CWM and make a backup of stock and then i can also install the Rom by CWM. What do i do?

Before i started to mess with my phone, I read pages and pages, for few days. You just searched 1hour(based on time of your posts).
Put a bit effort and inform yourself.
Information is out there, convert it into knowledge.
Maybe its not written in custom kernels thread, since that's general knowledge, but 99.99% of custom kernels already have recovery.

sent from my vacation
They most definitely are but as your either too lazy or too stupid to find them I answered below.
All custom kernels include cwm, so you flash a gingerbread kernel to keep your existing rom, make your backup, then flash whatever takes your fancy and the appropriate kernel for whichever rom, there is no universal one.

Instead of taking the risk of flashing knight elf just hotboot it using fastboot! Type the command fastboot boot boot.img( the kernel name!)
Fastboot reboot
The kernel will be booted just once, so directly open the recovery n flash the rom !
P.s. I am not sure if ice cream Pureness can be flashed from gb! I think u first need to upgrade to stock ics....

First at all, if you unlock your bootloader you should know what you are doing. Unlocking bootloader is not like rooting, rooting can be easily undone, unlocking the bootloader not.
There is something you should know regarding to phones and computers: If you don't know what you are doing then DON'T DO IT.
There are plenty of topics about rooting and installing custom ROMs just read.
According to the pureness rom thread it even works on locked bootloaders.

No,
I answered your question correctly,
It appears you asked the wrong question!
If you want to get into recovery mode you keep pressing the back key (Or if that doesnt work the volume down key, or if that doesnt work keep pressing the screen) when you see the sony logo after turning the phone on.
Of course you must have installed a RECOVERY to do this.
Rooting is not the same as unlocking bootloader. You mean recovery mode and you probably mean you have rooted your phone and NOT that you have unlocked the bootloader

There is no factory recovery, you have to install it yourself.
Goto the sticky threads in the dev section and start to read,
First, download flashtool, found in the first sticky thread in the dev section.
Second, Install recovery via flashtool or by flashing a custom kernel (Which you can do if you have unlocked your bootloader and can get into fastboot mode)
Third, install pureness via recovery.
PS, if you have NEO V you dont need a custom kernel for pureness so you can install recovery via flashtool and then the rom, but if you have NEO then you need the alliance kernel which requires unlocked bootloader, fastboot and a PC

U need to check if your Bootloader is Unlocked in case if you want to root your device. Dial *#*#7378423#*#*. Go over at service and check if the bootloader is unlocked or allowed.
There are mainly two different ways to install a custom rom. Through flashtool or through CWM. Go over at Xperia Development Section. You will find your answers, n00b tutorials and official/custom roms/firmwares.

Install the latest drivers for adb fastboot, u can find them on the 'Need to know first' thread. Then u can simply got to fastboot mode after flash installation and root your device/flash custom-stock kernels. :highfive:

I did that to but when I go to fastboot the LED will stay blue for like 10 seconds but then the phone will just re-boot... It wont stay on fastboot.
Fixed it... It was because USB debugging wasn't enabled. Would have been nice if that was mentioned in the bootloader unlocking thread lol.
I have a Xperia U --- OS :Android :- ICS 4.0.4 (stock)
(unroot & locked bootloader) build number :- 6.1.1.b.1.54 (stock)
kernel :- 3.0.8+.... (stock)
my phone not root or unlock the bootloader ,but i want to install a jellybean stock rom by DevSwift1 .I download the flashtool and install it and the drivers,i download the rom,how do i do next steps,i found that i can`t root my phone via flash tool with this firmware(6.1.1.b.1.54 ) it said i have to flash a 6.1.1.b.1.10 kermel to root,and rom install instruction said flash another kernel to install the rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2326515) .
1) how do i install the CWM recovery,i saw that Xperia u not support the rom mannager app. ?
2) is this [Kernel][Dec 04]Experimental v11a[JB 4.1.2] kernel pre install the cwm recovery ?
3)can i back up my current rom nad stock recovery how ?
4)your thoughts about devswift 1 rom ,i mean is it bug free and stable rom ?
5)tell me how to flash the rom ?
first answer my quetion (please put the numbers) secondly I need step by step, stock rom install guide from root to flash the rom....and don`t tell me just flash,pleas explain it futher,i mean bit more,this is my first time in xda and flashing a rom.(i got the boot unlock key)
guide it should be like this(IT easy to understand)
Eg:-
1)step, Root
> ***********
> ************
2)step, unlock boot loader
> ************
first of all choose a kernel and download it
second unlock your bootloader
after that install zip from sd card
finally choose devswift1 rom if you have problems with those pm me
you will get used to it and install every rom you like
i hope so
Prerequisite: go and unlock your boot loader. By unlocking your boot loader it saves you a lot of time in the future when you're flashing Roms since it will allow you to flash a custom kernel.
1) don't use ROM manager. CWM recovery is built into all custom kernels.
2) look at 1).
3) recovery is built into the kernel. backup can be done through CWM, it is pretty obvious once you are in there (volume for navigation, power for select)
4) I am ex-sony user but I've never touched this ROM but honestly everybody's opinion of a ROM will be different so try out different ones and to you see which is the most bug free and stable. To me I do not care about stuff like WiFi or HDMI because I never use it, but to some people it might be a major problem. So its a bit subjective.
5) instructions are included in the OP. Follow it VERY strictly (remember to flash the kernel, and remember to wipe before installing)

The link to the ROM is broken, fix it.
If it's a stock rom you do not need to unlock bootloader just flash stock kernel as said root and install recovery.

OK so you first of all, unlock your bootloader.
Then, you visit the devswift's jb thread, download the ROM and the kernel he asked you to flash.
Next, you flash the kernel via fastboot. Now, you boot into recovery and flash the ROM which is now supposed to be in your SD card.
Now you wipe data, cache and dalvik. Then, you flash the ROM. Next you reboot and let it settle.
Actually after unlocking the bootloader you can just follow devswift's instructions and nothing will go wrong.

hey man, you can unlock your bootloader in a simple step, you don't need to install tha sdk to your laptop or pc
you said that you already have a flashtool, and downloaded and installed drivers
note that if you unlock your bootloader the files will be gone (as in all file on phone and internal)
follow this step:
1. go to this site and get the code http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ (click "start unlocking the boot loader", then click "continue", click "yes i'm sure", check the boxes and click "i accept", enter your name, imei (note: remove the last digit coz its only need 14 digits), enter your email, and later on they will send you for the unlock key, save it safely)
2. open flashtool, connect your device in usb debugging mode, check it on the settings
3. click the BLU at the top at the right of the flashicon
4. later it will ask you to disconnect your device, and power off it
5 reconnect your devicein the usb cable in FLASHMODE. (hold the volume down button while connecting to usb cable)
5. Againconnectt your phone in FASTBOOT mode. (hold volume up while connecting to usb cable)
6. It will prompt a window with your IMEI number, insert your unlock key and click "unlock".
wait to finish and reboot it's done,hope i help you :good:

you can simply use google translate to translate a full page, and the files have English names, what file can't you download?
It's just a one click download, you choose the file and you press the big blue button that has a white arrow looking down

Use this TWRP:
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/9346/QZnnNkU2f/twrp_3.0.2-0_NX549J_20161125.img
When you flash TWRP, make a factory wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) and install this LineageOS 14.1 i told you about if you want a pure rom without any customizations, and flash gapps from Opengapps.org (ARM>7.1>Pico), if you want a rom with customizations, use this Resurrection Remix Marshmallow rom and flash gapps that is (ARM>6.0>Pico).

You have to rename the TWRP to twrp.img and then enable usb debugging in your phone and connect it to pc, and proceed with the rest of the guide.
"Waiting for device" can be fixed by installing PDANet from Pdanet.co
Download it and install it then disconnect your phone and reconnect it to pc and start over.
Ps: there is no commands like the one said above, the right commands are "adb reboot bootloader" and "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" there is a step by step guide here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32965365
Follow the instructions under Install Via ADB section.
These instructions are the easiest available and there is no way i can explain easier.

I can't make a video and i can't use my pc because it's my las year in high school, so it's forbidden from me.
Try asking those guys in here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/root-nubia-z11-mini-s-nx549j-t3506407/
They might be able to help you.
Edit: i found something in the thread
Enable usb debbuging, enter fastboot via volume - and Power....probably volume down
Type: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img in cmd window that you opened in the twrp folder.
twrp.img file needs to be in the same folder as adb
Try it and let me know

1. put device in fastboot mode but dont connect
2. open device manager in pc(assuming u have windows 10)
3.now connect device , as soon as u connect device u will see unrecognised fastboot device
4. double click it and install fastboot drivers
(u should have universal adb and fastboot installed already)
