Hi everyone

I've downloaded the latest firmware and copy it to downloads folder on my phone but i dont know how to update it because :
- i dont have the native filemanager from EUI (i dont see this icon on my phone)

here's a link to sony's update utility:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...eserviceapplication/xperiax10mini?cc=gb&lc=en
procedure:
1. download and extract to you descktop the newest GUI flashtool
2. in your phone go to settings ->applications-> and check unknown sources
3. in settings ->applications-> development-> check usb debugging
4. in you extract flashtool folder that should be on your desktop you will see a flash.bat file, open it to start program.
5. click on root and follow the procedure to start z4root and allow it to root and restart your phone, do not manually restart you phone, z4root will automatically restart your phone for you.
6. once your phone is completly restarted and functional, colse the flash.bat program and re-open it from the extracted program.
7. click on customise and allow it to fully install the applications, it will tell you finished when done.
8. mount your phone's sd card to your pc
9. download the root explorer.apk file from the download link provided and save it on you desktop.
10.copy the root explorer file from your desktop to the root of your sd card (do not put it in any folder)
11. unmount phone to computer
12. you will see on your phone that you have a program called astro, open the program,
13.in astro, navigate to your sd card and install root explorer.apk
14. once installed, exit out of astro
15. mount you phone again to your pc and create a new folder on the root of your sd card called new build, and create another folder called old build.
16. download the two build.prop files supplied in my download link and save it to your pc's desktop.
17. now open the build folder on your desktop and you will see two files, one called build.prop.claro and another called build.prop.vivo.
18.delete the build.prop.vivo file.
19. right click and rename the build.prop.claro file to build.prop (delete the .claro part)
20.drag and drop that file to you new build folder you created on your sd card.
21.unmount your phone from you pc.
22. on your phone, open root eplorer
23. scroll down to SYSTEM
24. find the build.prop file and copy it
25. back out of the SYSTEM folder and scroll down to the SD CARD
26. paste the copied build.prop file to the old build folder you had created on your sd card (its basically a backup in case you ever mess up)
27. now in root explorer, go to you SD CARD and copy the build.prop file from your new build folder that you initially downloaded and renamed.
28. scroll back to SYSTEM and click on the r/w button on the top left of screen
29. then past and overwrite the file
30.now exit out of the program and restart you phone.
31. don't worry if you phone menu system looks kinda wonky or doesn't really work properly once your phone has restarted. just make sure its fully rebooted
32.download and install the sony ericsson update service program from the download link supplied.
33. accept the terms and follow the instructions... (it will ask you to put your phone in recover mode by turning off your phone and pressing the back button while plugging in your phone via usb) you can make this process quicker by simply already having your phone plugged in and simply pressing and holding the top power button+back button+home button until the green light remains on.
34. the program will tell you that there is new software available for your phone
35. install and enjoy 2.5
Extras step to making the experience even better!
i personally don't like the boot animation of the new 2.1 update and would rather not have the claro operator logo at the boot startup. the way to do that is:
root your phone again by following my instructions earlier, and install the root explorer.apk file again from your sd card. once your have root explorer installed and working navigate to SYSTEM and then to MEDIA. in media you will see a bootanimation.zip file, simply delete it.
Now for removing bloatware (operator specific applications):
to remove application that may be of annoyance, just go into root explorer again and navigate to SYSTEM and the to APP and dele and .apk files that are programs like ei: claro.apk... make sure you press the r/w button whenever you want to delete or overwrite something in SYSTEM. And be aware that if you don't know what your doing, you can brick your phone. SO BE CAREFUL!
And finally, as most would already know, this is all at your own risk. Sometimes its better to leave these types of hacks alone if you don't know what your doing.
I take no responsibility or credit for any of these hacks. thanks to all the members on XDA Developers for your support and help.
There are steps to make it simpler ... which is independent of the version they have in the cell (2.1 Uk or other ... 1.6) is achieved by having the American firm ... thus reduce it without diminishing the tutorial: alex0983
1. Planet app install
2. Find and install z4root
3. Permamente root install and follow instructions, the phone will reboot ...
4. In Planet app also find the Root Explorer and install ...
5. Connect the phone and copy the build.pro (Claro) to the SD and disconnect
6. Open root explorer and if I get a message to: super user ... allow him ....
7. mounted R / W. ... go the SD route where the build.prop copy and recopy this time from root explorer and find the path: / system and replace the phone ....
8. Turn off the phone ....
9. Connecting to Seus and select repair ...! and ready ... your phone now is American again! And firmware 2.1
10. To remove things Claro, just make the points 1,2,3,4! then the path / system / media to copy the boot loader found in the forum and in the path / system / app to delete the applications they say. clear (remember to mounted R / W)
I hope you find it useful! And that worked for me! Obviously, thanks to your tutorial alex0983 which also served me as a whole, but I found the quickest way!
Sorry for my bad english!
re:
hey no problem, i'm glad you found it useful. Sorry for the 35+ steps... I just wanted to make it easy to follow for people who had never done something like this before. Just trying to help ppl.
Actually the tutorial is very well prepared but no longer so necessary to the root from the phone! And for that we are in the community to help and facilitate the process to other users!
Kudos for you alex0983 and kloriahdez, thanks for your posts!!!

Hi
I have 2.1 update 1 version
Should this procedure work with this or it won't work
If not, how to root the phone?
I mentioned that kingoldstyle had the same problem. I also updated the phone prior to doing this procedure.
So, maybe kingoldstyle can help me with rooting?
How to use flashing tools?
Thanks.

Sooo i figured out how too root this thing :
!!!!!!!please carefully ready before you start
do it for your own responsibility!!!
i attached a zip file:
Frist step copy this zip file to you SD (important external SD)
- you must enter recovery mode
there are two ways
swich off your tablet after it press and hold volume up + power on
OR go to settings -->backup and reset--> recovery mode
- (help: you can move up and down with volume buttons and use on button for "enter")
soo chose apply update frome external storage than chose the zip file than YES
Reboot and your steelcore II+ is rooted

From hungary. Any rom, or tunning tip? The stock sys is slow and have a lot of bug...
-
i found a custom rom for this type of cpu ( cm 11 , and cm10.1) . Im going to try to optimalize, it only boots up nothing work well no touch no wifi no bluetooth etc only can you with usb mouse, bad screen resolution. Lately i patched screen res ( density ) but that was the easiest part if you want i upload some pics this week. But this rom has a lot of trouble.
i recomend you to delete easycall and 7 digit store useless apps. Use clean master from play store to clean ram, and delete trash files. you can clean cache and dalvik chace with link2sd ( play store ).
here are the images of cyanogenmod 4.4 on Overmax steelcore II
it boots up. nothing works well. It needs developers
I know it's an old tread, but did someone manage to make a working custom rom for this device?
My father owns one, but he has many problems with the internal memory of only 1GB, it's constantly full.
Hello all !
I'm not new in the custom ROM environment because I've already flashed my Xperia Arc with tons of differents ROM's. Of course I'm not a flashing expert and this is why I'm here today...
I have a new LG G2 and I would like to flash it with Mahdi Rom. This is what is already done :
- Rooted with IOroot25 -> all is OK because I checked with "Root Checker" and it says OK
- Install TWRP -> all is OK because I performed a backup of my current configuration with it
- Flash Mahdi Rom -> when I select the .zip to flash, I get a message :
- Unable to open mahdirom.zip
- Updating partitions...
I know there is a new problem with Android 4.4.2 about files permissions. So I installed "SD Fix" to solve this problem. I've also try to dowload another archive with the same result.
I have 2 questions now :
- How can I manage to successfully flash my device ?
- Is it normal that I can't directly transfert the .zip file to the internal memory ? I have to put the .zip into a directory and then transfert the directory.
Thank you for your help ! :good:
Sorry for the wrong categary post. New thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53183739

If your phone is not booting you will need to sideload the rom in recovery
Hi Guys,
I am going to explain you all how to root your Mi3, Redmi1S or Redmi Note - Indian version - Works on other variants too - Tested on Singapore, Malaysia and TD too. This may work with other Country ROM's also. If you are successful please let me know & the method u followed. :good:
This is so far the easiest method to gain root on your MI Device - Even a Noob can do it :laugh:.
1. Download the follwing zip file and rename it to "update.zip"
2. Put these files on in the SD card of your phone. - Not inside other folders i.e on ur root of sd card.
3. Now open Updater app, click menu - select "select update package option". Then select the "update.zip" and update. Now your phone will ask you to reboot. Select reboot now.
4. Reboot your system now. Go to Security app - Permissions - Root permission - Turn on. U have root access now. (Screenshot for the same has been attached below - Just for Help).

Yup that's right mate - And it just takes a second to do it

FYI, rooting has broken my OTA updates.. Though I can always go back to correct Unrooted version and update...
Thanks all the same
As per below thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-3/general/guide-how-to-root-mi3-t2845843
"NOTE 2: for some people rooting breaks OTA UPDATES but for some it doesn't. To update your phone you can simply unroot it and update it and root it again. Doesn't take much time to unroot."
Thanks for highlighting this issue. Hasn't happened with 18 devices rooted by us so far. Will do the same if it happens. Cheers.
Guys anyone else not able to get OTA ? Bcoz of shifting to Dev ROM or enabling root - Plz post !!

Hi @ all
Hope you understand what i want to say
i hate google translate and tried it on my own
Since few days i can not download files that are direct linked in a xda thread or on other internet sites.
I click a link to download
then came a message : download unsucessfull
Mega, androidfilehost all other hosts works normal to download.
Standard browser says unsucessfull
Fiefox no downloads avaiable in guest mode
i think the problem starts with installing
Lineage OS 14.1 7.1.1 on my Note 4.
i dont like it and restored my MM backup from TWRP
after a full wipe incuding Internal SD.
after that the problem starts with downloads.
Tried all the little mods, apps and tweaks that i found with google to restore my download problem.
in the end i do following....
1. i make a full wipe again flashed a stock MM Rom with odin
no luck.
2. i flashed a correct! PIT file + Stock Int rom, no luck
3. PIT + Rom + Nand erase all!!
still the same direct download problem
I think the permission of Internal SD has changed.
In file explorer my emulated folder has 711 drwxr-x-x
right perm were 755 drwxr-xr-x or not?
is that right that files cant be saved on Sdcard with this permission? Kamera is not working too!
but external sd has other permission and dont works if i changed to it.
that hardware is damaged or something is not possible?
add logcat as attachment
hope anyone have a answer for me...
one from the Camera app

I suppose there's no issue with Ur hardware
I have faced this dload errors in most stock browsers
They are notable to get the download size and give errors
Instead use some browsers like UC
And for camera try some other camera and tell.me back
