Hi all,
I have little problem.
I have got "Xperia Mini Pro" with Android 1.6, and I want to upgrade it. I have tried official way with Sony PC Companion.
It told me "New version of ROM for your mobile is available", but after switching off, holding back button, connecting to PC. It said "There is no ROM for your mobile".
What is wrong? Or is anoter way how to flash my mobile with official or unofficial firmware?
Many thanks...
Give this a try. Upgrade to Gingerbread WITHOUT having to change the kernel.
Google this:
MiniCM7Pro_V21.zip
It should be the first link and it should take you to a Google Code page where you can download it.
The only reason I tell you to do this is because the link in the original doesn't work and I can't post outside links since I'm new lol

I got one of these nice and small retro devices, still running android 1.6
i am pretty new on these things, how do i properly install a more recent, custom android on it?
Jelly Bean (4.x.x) was the latest version, although in my opinion Gingerbread (v2.3.x) ran the smoothest.
I have some files still available, let me know which ROM you would to get:
/MSM7227 Stock Kernels/X10 mini (E10) stock kernel.ftf
/MSM7227 Stock Kernels/X10 mini pro (U20) Stock Kernel.ftf

ok you have two ways as per i know
Try this one first as this will get you latest firmware
Update via Wotan Server -
Link - Update Method 1
Second if via CWM flash but i can't guaranty about it,read the forum and try at your own risk...and also this is not latest firmware as Wotan Server method
Wotan Server is latest one for Xperia Mini (XM)
Link - Update XM via CWM
Returning to Stock ROM, Rooting it again and enabling WiFi, haptic feedback etc
I had that problem, its a prevailing issues with the newest build. There's no solution to using that 'stable' build on Xperia Minis. If you still want to use Cyanogen, get the nightly build. It works, you can try Cyanogen but its quite unstable. One of the biggest problem is the screen orientation lag, which is around 2-3 seconds.
Check this out, I just wrote a guide today for returning to stock ROM.

Hi guys,
I'm sorry before.
I've updated my XMP to ICS 4.0.4. I think the UI of ICS is not as good as GB.
- SMS (GB is more like crystal-clear, ICS just a solid color)
- detail contact (just flat view, very different with GB)
And there are many apps that crash (unfortunately closed) or not responding. I often pull out my battery to restart my phone.
When i set date and time, after i select date/time then click set, it always not responding.
Soooooo .... I decide to reverse it back to Gingerbread 2.3.4 :crying:
Is there any firmware of ICS that solve my problems above? or i should just wait the official update from SONY?
just sharing with you guys ..
Thanks.
Which Rom did u use?
I think not because this problem is to ta related to compatibility of APIs app that still exist are not built to run on ICS. Bug on the time I do not know. But I see that ICS is not being high wattage. Because it causes the power consumption of application and hardware.
Official ROM
I update my mini pro with official ICS from Sony with SEUS.

Try flush ROM v2.
I think its the best ROM available.
Believe me its good.
After installing just try face unlock option that's the only thing missing in that ROM.

I didn't like how your request sound, but going to try and help.
for 2.1 I think that stock is stable, what you should do, is root it, install a recovery, and a app2sd or link2sd.
so you can check this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1682966 for that.
and in this thread you can see a few topics about the x10mp. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944569
this one is a 2.1 rom and the download link is still alive. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206625
i think that with this you could get a 2.1 rom with all the things. personally I would just flash a custom kernel, and 2.3GB rom
i tried to root my old Xperia mini pro and flash it with cyanogenmod 9.1 some time ago. I experienced some issues, for example that the hardware keyboard did not work as i wanted it, and that i couldn't change the layout, so i decided to go back to stock rom...
But now, I can't find the right rom to flash it with - all the roms I have tried, is the wrong layout for the H/W keyboard.
So more specifically, I'm looking for the stock rom with the Danish/Nordic Layout (we got some special letters like Æ, Ø, Å, which are quite crucial!). If anyone knows where to find that specific rom with that specific layout are you more than welcome to post it (and i will thanl you for all eternity!!)
Here should be the right ftf for you. It's an old gb rom (4.0.2.A.0.42), but you could update with pc companion on ics and flash a prerooted kernel to gain root again

Thanks! But the link in the forum does unfortunately not work any more...
Just tried and it works here...
Hello guys! U believe it or not I still use my Xperia mini pro and I have cianogen mod 2,1 android. Is there any good working ROM etc etc to resurrect it again? (I have other phones too) but I love this little guy
There's a new compact Xperia to be released tomorrow. I don't think it'll be as compact as the Xperia mini pro though. The only 11 year old phone I know of which is still seeing recent development is the Samsung Galaxy SII i9100.

Well, believe it or not, you're not the only one I'm still using Xperia Mini as my main phone actually (never had the Pro version, thinking also of getting one to play with it, but I love my Mini and will probably never replace it).
I might help you with your request, tell me which ROM would you like to try, for Marshmallow (Android 6) or Lineage (Android 7)? You can PM me also if you like.
I love these little devices of mine, but unfortunately I no longer use them because there is not enough space (storage):
1. I definitely want to write with them 2. and with my goddaughter / niece (who saw them and wants to use one when we spend time together)
The problem is that I no longer remember how to root. The factory ROM can be enough for me and I can remove the excess to have minimal storage space, I want to write (text editor, maybe e-mail) and e.g. Total Commander sw and possibly retro games designed for this screen resolution... : )))
Please help me with this! I might also be interested in a custom ROM. 8)
Best regards,
John

This phone is perfect and I wish for a re release..thank you for ur help!! Well from both sound good! I have cyanogen mod 2.1 and old recovery and non tutorials any more out there. U have any tutorial?
I've never stopped using this phone since I bought one many years ago.... I've had more than I can remember... I dont need apps, chat, BS.... just calls, text and camera (and some internet... google search etc) and of course, a keyboard. This phone is perfection.
It still looks like a modern phone today, in fact it looks more modern than the latest phones, I always have people aask me about my phone.
Anyway, I recently lost mine and had to get a replacement and I lost my HDD that contained all of the old firmware.
I'm looking for the stock .587 FW with android ICS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-sk17-mini-pro-4-1-b-0-587-generic-version.1907994/
But all links are dead and I cant find it anywhere online. Does anyone still have it?

Not sure which one you exactly are looking for but I hope one will fit your needs. Please note that I have not tested any of those as I don't have Mini Pro. I just googled the links. Best of luck.
Thank you mate, I'm in UK so was looking for the "generic world" one, I got the first 2 you posted on download, thanks.
