[Q] X10 mini E10i upgrade sequence
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just obtained a new x10 mini E10i with android 1.6 and would like to get it to CyanogenMod 7.2. I am confused a bit by the jargon and possible pitfalls in the steps to mod. I believe the sequence is something like this:
upgrade to official SE Android 2.1 on the Sony support site.
use SuperoneClick to "root" the device
follow instructions on this site for the upgrade to CM 7.2
Is that about it? Do I need to get to 2.3 before I go to CM?

Hi, Im not that good with all this root, custom roms and stuff. I did root my device though. My xperia x10. I got 2.1 rooted.
I read about everything with custom roms everywhere and everytime i read about android.
What is custom roms? does it enable me with my xperia to download a custom rom or custom version so i can get 2.2 or 2.3 even if sony ericsson has chosen to not update?
Thanks
Oh, And i downloaded something from connect-utb site.
What is it? is it some kind of new android version? it stood that it can be used on Xperia so... it was something XDAndroid
cant link. But search google for connect-utb
Custom ROMs enable you to have 2.2, 2.3 and so on, BUT with some drawbacks. Since the highest the phone can go is 2.1, the ROMs will be based on 2.1 and some things might not work (e.g. Camera,Videorecorder).
Try looking at the x10 developement section. Ask what you want to do in the q and a section and we can help u. But all the info is rite here on this site. U just have to look.
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.2 rendeiro2005 cyanogen rom 6.1.3 gingerbread v1
i need a video tutorial that can help me get my phone to 2.3. My x10 is on 2.1 update 1 at the moment and i want to get it to 2.3. if anyone can make a video on how to upgrade my phone to 2.3 using wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 or a better one would be very helpful.
Thank You for your help

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
Hi friends,
I'm new here and recently I'm having trouble in updating my Android device version from 2.1 to 2.3.7 in my Sony Ericsson X10 Mini.
Also, how to update it? Is there any resource that you feel informative please feel free to knock me by replying on my this thread...
And yet I'm unable to find a better Android updater for my device too...
I've also find that there is no update yet after 2.1 on Sony Ericsson Official Website. Is it true?
Thanks in advance...
yes, latest official update is 2.1 from sony
try read this TUT to go from stock 2.1 to custom ROM
