[Q] Changing Kernel - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

good day to all of you guys.. i just need a quick answer. after my question is answered i'll immediately close this thread.
my question is that can i change my kernel using cmw recovery? because i think my usb port is broken and i can't change it by using flashtool.. my phone's current kernel version is 2.6.32.. and i really want to try out the kitkat..
that's all i hope you answer my question, thank you

No...because we use single kernel and multiple ramdisks ...Fix the USB port ...

It works on Galaxy Y and many other phones since they have two kernel partitions ....It wont work on Xperia MDPI ...But you can go ahead and try to flash the kernel ...either it wont work or perma brick device ...

I had same problem, i accidently installed something on my xperia mini which was for mini pro which caused touch screen to stop working, i flashed different stock firmware and so on, still the touch screen wouldnt work
i flashed Xperia Active (ST17i) firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42_CE.ftf onto my xperia mini (st15i) in flashtool, then flashed stock mini firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62 afterwards
my touchscreen is working again

srry didn't know about that cause was working on it .. since 1 month and got this fix ... and it not exactly same because i have changed some files
in active ftf..!! and i make fixes of my own and if i share fixes by other's I always write share there..!!

You can't change files in ftf, because ftf is sony signed so this is impossible! So I think you took it from the post I mentioned before!

Reported it, too. Let's see how the mod decides!
officiallysonyrebel as stated this has been shared previously however not in it's own thread so in the spirit of sharing it's fine to post it up however you must give credits to where you found it. It also seems that your guide is not complete as you can't stop at just flashing the active FTF which is a stock Sony file not modified so please don't tell people it is. For it to fully work you need to then flash the stock firmware for the device over the top as per xshanep19's instructions.
To clear everything up please complete your instructions and also link to xshanep19's post to say the instructions are also there but you're just making them available for everyone who might not see that post.
Thanks

srry bro It was not me with this account .. was in tution at that time and my younger just messed up everything sorry again..!! hope u understand..!!:angel:
Btw I don't think that the phone will boot up completely with the active ftf. I think you have to flash the ftf for your device first, before you will get it booting, or am I wrong?

Hi everyone,
i need your help to fix my problem with jelly vanilla rom 6.1 of iiandskater.

Did you try to flash another kernel? Not MESA but another one? Or try to reflash the rom.zip without wipe data/factory reset

Hi I know your issue since I faced it.The kernel you are using is bad for this rom.
Use FXP/CM9.1/CM10 Extended kernel for Xperia Mini Pro
This is found in the kernel section.Just see your device and download the latest one.
Then use flash tool to flash it after when you boot into jelly vanilla rom 6.1 make a factory data reset with also erasing mmc
It will solve your problem:good:

your model is wt19i so its Live with Walkman™ phone with code-name-- (coconut)
I don't know but I don't think its advisable then search for any kernel cm10 based apart from mesa,try LuPuS-jB [LINARO 4.7][CM10 BASED],but this one had wi if issues for my mini pro.Give it a shot
looks like you already tried it then??
PS i thought your one was mini pro as well

To reflash the rom, just download the latest cm10.zip for your phone (if it's a live with walkman, wt19i then download the one for coconut) and the gapps (google apps) for android 4.1.2. Now put the two files on your sdcard and reboot in cwm or TWRP recovery. Then you just wipe cache (no data will be lost) and flash the cm10.zip and afterwards the gapps. Reboot and see if the lag still exists
If it still exists you have to change the kernel, or you try another version of MESA
