Hey guys, im at work and i dont have the time to search as we are cut from the internet here if we spend to much time on websites that are not depicted by the company as work related. My problem is i want to flash ginger.dx but cwm doesnt work for build 2.1.1.c.0.0, so how do i downgrade to the last compatible build for cwm?
Cheers in advance
Evil.
It works with 2.1.1.C.0.0 .
But anyway, if you want to downgrade, we first have to know your phone. Mini (E20i) or mini pro (U20i)???
I have the only have 2.1.1.A.0.6 for mini PRO. You can find it by searching it with the xda's search this :
2.1.1.A.0.6 GREEK .ftf
But, there are many other for mini too. Just use always xda's search engine.

Well thats unusual because as i said in the title, i have the mini pro, and my build number is 2.1.1.c.0.0. As i also said i cant search while at work because it is a lil bit time consuming reading through all the post to find what im looking for, and if i spend more then two hours a week on what my company calls time wasting sites, then my net will be blocked for the rest of the week and my work requires access to the net. The reason im doing it at work is because i dont have internet at home as my flatemate just moved out and it was under his name. Anyway, ive downloaded the greek .ftf as you suggested of 2.1.1.A.0.6 and i will flash it to my phone and then try CWM. The reason i asked in the first place was because i read in the first post of the CWM thread that it only worked for the old build number not the new ones (e.g. 2.1.1.C.0.0) so yeah. I know what im doing, im not new here, and i know i should search but as i said cant waste time, now i know im ranting and sorry if i come across being rude, i dont mean to be.
Anyway cheers for your help.

Why do ? I dont.
Why dont i? Coz its blocked from accessing the net at my work. Cant find a connection.
Anyway, now my build number is 2.1.1.a.0.6. I reinstalled cwm last night using mini rom manager, it all works, then when i tried to flash ginger.dx v11, it got half way through coping system then stopped and said it was all completed. so i rebooted knowing that it didnt work properly, and lo-and-behold i got boot loop of thw white sony text, didnt even get passed that. What am i doing wrong?
Cheers,

hey guys,
my phone shipped with android 2.2.1 and i updated it to 2.2.2
now i wanna root it but nothing is working ! z4root restarts the phone but no changes... gingerbreak just keeps in that loading thingie forever (more than an hour) when i restart the phone no changes are made... superoneclick didn't help either... I found somewhere on the forums that i would need to downgrade to 2.2 but i can't find a way to do that because when i start searching for the original firmware for my country i can't find it... so any help ?
waiting for your responses...
well make sure usb debugging is enabled and try once again wth gingerbreak 1.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
install gingerbreak on phn memory ,frmat sd card using http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html
hope it helps,
there are many thread on downgrading just search for it but before that try the above
yeah thanks for your (so quick) answer, but i already activated usb debugging, the sd card was formatted and mounted. tried gingerbreak for like 7 times or something and it's not working...
I tried Gingerbreak once and never looked back. I wonder what happened to your phone.
did you try taking it out to dinner ?

or use this program to get the original firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1073827
i dno why that link doesnt work, it was a program that downloaded the firmware for you. you simply select ur country.
thanks for the reply, that program just downloaded the v10g version which is 2.2.2 (flashing that wouldn't change anything). so now i need to downgrade... but which version should i use ? i can't find the original firmware for my country, and that really sucks (VERY bad service LG). so which original firmware should i get to flash it to my phone using kdz before rooting ?
thanks for your answers and time...
no replies ? come on ! which one should i choose ? no difference between them? please answer you know you can't breathe with that stupid stock rom !!

Hmm...I had that issue. It can/may be solved by any other way. But I recommend to try the one I did. You need to type some commands in ADB, and then try rooting. It's a long process....Read my post in my blog here for details:-http://ayushandroidworld.blogspot.com/2011/11/how-to-root-lg-p500-with-gingerbread.html Note that the post is labeled as "for Gingerbread", but it'll work for you...........
Try it and let me know if it worked.

yaaaaaaay that was it ! i just did what that tutorial said and IT WORKED ! THANKS !
i did have some troubles at first but i checked the drivers, installed other ones that worked... and now it's ROOTED
hey guys
so now i have that "superuser" icon in my drawer, so i need to install a custom recovery... I installed ROM MANAGER from the market, flashed clockworkmod recovery (successfully) but when i select "reboot into recovery" it just hard-resets the phone and it boots again and i find it just like it was when i bought it... even tried shutting down the phone and pressing volume_down + power + menu..... is there something wrong ? please help !
Hello ,You still have clockwork (inside). Try Pull battery ,reinstall, press power,At logo press :HOME-VOL DOWN-POWER for about 5 sec.or untill you get into CW home screen.You can now only use the vol up & down to highlite an option and menu to enter/select the highlited option.If your installing a ROM ,install it (ZIP FILE) on your sdcard 1st (before) so you can select it.
thanks for replies.
I solved the issue... i just installed the rom manager 4.5.0.1 version...Worked as a charm...
Finally, i have cm7 on my phone, gingerbread 2.3.7
now i'm gonna flash the google apps (gapps) cuz it turns out i don't even have a market !

best thing you can do is flash stock 407. so that all your low level files are in sync and then do a factory reset and let it boot a few times before you start tweaking

Thank you !!1
i have installed your link but??
the screen always stays same on the phone (Sony ercicsson make.believe)
nothing happen ?:İ(
my brothers i have solved the problem
i would like to thank miliions times who have contributed to fix this annoying problem.
Solution:
1-you should have 2.3.4 android version.
2-you need to mount below kernel in flash mode
http://www.mediafire.com/?7g6gz2mpp1ljb46
and thats all very easy but:
The critical line is that im not aware of it and i think most people in this site as well
..
the most important thing YOU SHOULD INSTALL A COMPATIBLE KERNEL WITH YOU STOCK OR CUSTOM ROM IF NOT YOU WONT BE ABLE TO OPEN YOUR PHONE
IT WILL ALWAYS STAY THE SUCH AS XPERIA OR SONY ERICSSON SCREEN
TO AWOID SUCH CASES BE CAREFULL AND BE AWERE OF THAT YOU INSTALL THE COMPATIBLE KERNEL WITH YOUR ROM
thank you!
Tbh if you don't know anything of kernel/rom compatibility you really shouldn't be flashing anything.
This is not a personal dig, just kills me the number of posts like this, where folk say they didn't know.
101 for anything firmware related, understanding the process and having a backup plan as things can and do go wrong
Most devs post recommended kernel either in Rom or in the post.

Hi All!
sorry if this thread is a repeat of another somewhere else on the interwebs, but after thorough searching for a few days I could not find a solution or even a similar problem.
(oh and sorry if my question is a little weirdly-put, an xda newb in the flesh, and my first post :fingers-crossed: )
In brief, I had recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 from overseas, but as i was overseas I had no sim card and the phone was in aeroplane mode for about a month and a half. while overseas I had flashed many kernels and ROMs, but when I arrived home a few days ago, I had realised my phone wasn't receiving service or reception. at the time I was running a carbon ROM nightly (android 4.3.1), now I have switched over to beanstalk 4.4.2, and I am receiving the same issue, and when I try to flash a different modem/radio in CWM, it always appears with either "error with zip" or "status 7".
When I type *#*#4643#*#* and try to turn the radio on and off, the radio does not turn on or off!
Also; sometimes after boot the carrier name would show up as "YES OPTUS" but no reception, and when I try to make calls its either "please "Turn aeroplane mode off" or "Network is unavailable"
I have changed my sim card with a new one and had fully recharged it too, but on other phones it works, on mine it does not.
so my questions are:
1) What would be the cause of the issue?
2) What would be the best way to solve it?
3) Could it be because i bought it from another country?
4) Could it be a hardware problem?
Phone Specs:
BaseBand version : I9100XXLPW
Android Version : 4.4.2
CWM : v6.0.4.5
Beanstalk Version : Beanstalk-4.4.200-20131222-i9100
Thanks in advance for anyone with any help !!!
And sorry again for the newbiness...this is my first post in my life so you may understand the confusion
Good Day!

Sorry had to explain that of course.
Go to settings - about phone - status and look for IMEI.
If it's empty or showing 004999010640000 it's wrong and restore your EFS back-up or go to the thread to try recover your IMEI and hope it helps.

Official firmware Post 2 is the guide and post 3 are the official firmwares. Look what firmware you need and google for a download link.
You do all the steps before flashing a new rom? Wiping and formatting data, caches and system?
