Hello everyone,
my phone juste detected a new update, someone tried it?
thanks,
what firmware are you in right now?... seus said my phone is up to date
Can you share your bulid.prop file?
haven't bothered updating, or checking if there is one out now for the mini pro.
according to some people at the x10 mini dev forum, the update is for bluetooth support for ANT (health devices connection i think, thru bluetooth).

Edit: new update now rolling out. build numberit was for the mini, my bad)
i'm interested to see the battery optimization option some people are talking about. have anyone updated to this build already?
as of this time (03:55 09/02/2011 +8:00 GMT) my phone detected update for UK generic, mini pro. haven't updated yet, will do it this weekend maybe. cheers!

Need help with a x10 mini (e10a) from Rogers in Canada. Seems this is about the worst kind to work with but...
What I am trying to do is get this device to be used with my Ant+ heart monitor and other sensors. The version that it upgrades to via automatic upgrade is 2.0.1.A.47 which is not even found in the wiki stock ROM list and not compatible with Ant. Ideally getting to 2.3 with wifi hot spot would be nice too.
From what I gather after about 5 hours worth of reading the steps are:
1. Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682&page=2
2. Unlock boot loader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
3. Flash 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware (and M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 base band - do they come together?)
- can't seem to find these anywhere. A link anyone? Does the x10 or the x8 version work?
4. Modify the build.prop so 3g works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15902809#post15902809
5. Flash miniCM7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553
First off, does this sound right? Have I missed anything? Is the order right?
Secondly, after trying both Z4root and superoneclick (a couple of versions, and all exploit options in each version) I can't get this thing to root. The error I get to with S1C is:
After answer yes to "Automatic version detection failed - Is your version 2.0 or higher?" the result is:
"Getting manufacturer...
startIndex cannot be larger than length of string.
Parameter name: startIndex
FAILED"
Suggestions would be appreciated! I should note I have done some ROM updates to other Android phones, but am far from an expert (no coding capability). And have noticed each phone seems to be a bit different. This one seems to be a bit more difficult than others. Help would be appreciated.
Or, anyone want to sell me their X10 mini with working Ant+?
Cheers.

Much appreciated ChavitoArg.
I did see your post on my search, but given I only speak English (bad I know) and didn't understand the conversation so I steered clear of it.
I will give this a try.
Thanks!
So the update is that yes thank you sir I was able to get your firmware flashed to the device. Flashtool worked great. Much appreciate your efforts and reply.
But at this point I tested the Ant+ functionality (my number 1 goal) and unfortunately while this version of the firmware is said to have ant+ support, and now the apps I have been testing with (my tracks and edomondo) at least see there is an ant+ sensor, both don't work. My tracks crashes and edomondo just goes into an eternal search for the sensors. I'm assuming this means a problem with the ant+ implementation in the firmware software from stock. I heard of problems like this.
If ant+ worked I would likely just stay here, but it doesn't so I'm pressing on try to root, unlock BL and flash miniCM7.
So the next step would be to use flashtool to root as recommended. Problem is it doesn't give that option (root tool greyed out). Have tried connecting, and reconnecting with no luck. Unknown sources and USB debugging are on). Have also tried oneclickagain, and same problem as before.
SO some progress, but could still use some help. Anyone?
Cheers.
Update...
As it turns out after a little more reading and testing the firmware here from ChavitoArg DOES support ant+.
It seems you need to add the Ant Radio Service (comes up in an android market search) and then ant+ apps work. Well at least most of them (Endomondo, Sporty Pal, ANT+ Bike Display Demo) My Tracks still crashes, but that now looks like a My Tracks problem.
So for now I am sticking with Android 2.1 and working Ant+ which was my main goal.
Still curious why I can't root this thing after trying 4 different solutions and 10 attempts. Have rooted 5+ other android phones with no issues. If anyone has any ideas I'm open to trying them.
Would eventually like to get this to at least 2.2 with wifi hotspot, but need past root it to get any farther.
Thanks again ChavitoArg, your firmware rocks.

Have you tryied Flashtool 2.9.1 ? it has One click root option, is the best and easiest way to root.
Check the inbox, i sent you the link to download. I think the ant+ NATIVE support is provided by the rom MiniCM 2.1.3 and nAa kernel v5, you shoul try it. has NATIVE wifi hotspot too
Hi there, and let me introduce myself. My nickname is Phantoome and i'm new to Android.
I'm coming from an iPhone 3Gs and wanted to try something different.
I ended up buying the Sony Ericsson Xperience Mini Pro SK17i!
It had everything i needed untill i unboxed the phone lol
No seriously, i dig the Android os. Pretty neat tbh.
But i wanted to start modding some stuff about it!
Like first of all removing the factory crap, maybe try a decent theme..
But i've seen all those terms and all for example:
- ROMs (Custom firmware?)
- Flashing (Don't know this one for sure.)
I read i should be rooting the phone to be able to get root access,
or getting a different Android version (ROM?) to make it speed up and look nicer.
I recently figured out that MiniCM7Pro should do the trick for me.
I just don't want anything usefull to be having issues (like the camera, flash, gps, reception, etc..)
So i was wondering if anyone could be having some tips for me here?
Like good tutorials or something, because i noticed there are 100s of them and i don't know where to start really..
I ended up here, which made me end up here to root it first,
Now i'm not sure what to do next as i don't want to brick the phone.
He states:
- Root
- CWM
- Only 2.1.1.A.0.6 SE firmware
- Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015

If you not 2.1.1.A.0.6, you need to flash FTF file via FlashTool.

Should i flash the .ftf file he gives, or the stock firmware which i downloaded here (Also from this board somewhere)?
And i'm not sure which baseband i got either, don't think we use that alot here, never had issues with that on my iPhone either.
Update: I have successfully rooted the phone.
Now i think i have to downgrade (Flash?) the sucker.
ROM is the Android itself, in common words (anyone correct me if any mistakes).
Flashing: I think I won't be able to explain that.
And you are in the wrong forum. This is Xperia X10 Mini Pro, and you bought Xperia Mini Pro (without X10, they are different models in almost everything). So ask there and you maybe get a better answer.
Holy crap, how did i not notice? I'd move this thread if i was able to..
But if a mod spots this, move it if you can. I'll await reaction untill then.
Update:
I managed to get CyanogenMod 7 to work on the phone, guess Android wasn't that hard, thanks for all the nice people to help me xD
Only thing that's not working at the moment is my hardware keyboard after i've been in a 4 hour bootloop...
Maybe in a few more hours i get the keyboard to work and i'm at where i want it to be
Update:
Got the hardware keyboard to work! Aren't i a good self learning Android Student! ^^
Now one small thing left.. Getting the hardware keyboard to work azerty style instead of qwerty.
It's only partially now, as my numbers and symbols don't match the layout yet, AZQ&W do.
Update: Works!! And it only took me an hour and a half to figure out thanks to this topic.
Any moderator seeing this, this thread can be closed forgood. I've been succeeding on my own in one day.
Guess Android isn't that hard after all. You just gotta be patient and accept to learn new things.
In 24 hours, more or less.. Coming from an iPhone and haven't even used an Android in my entire life, i:
- Rooted my SE Mini Pro.
- Unlocked my Bootlock.
- Flashed to Cyanogenmod with the help of the FreeXperia tutorial and ROM.
- Fixed my Hardware keyboard input.
- Fixed the language settings of my hardware keyboard.
- Got proud of myself.

I had this emailed to me 2 days ago and nothing has come through

Anybody else have this or getting the update.
Yes, most of us have gotten the update. You can either choose to wait for it, or you can manually download the FTF and flash it with Flashtool. Check out the dev section or download Xperifirm.

I think it is best to look at the forum posts first before posting a question like this, to avoid unnecessarily cluttering the forum. For one thing, the question should be asked in the Q&A forum and secondly there are at least 2 posts in the general forum on the very first page with "14.6.A.1.216" in the title.
Hi
Recieved notification for 257.52 MB update two days ago, nothing further specified.
Haven't installed it yet - anyone else; or know anything about it?
Mine's currently on 5.0.2, Security Patch Level is 2016-04-02, Build G850F XXU2CPC3 - and already have Smart Manager so that's not it ....
Edit: I now see there's an entire row of countries released here in 2017-05; so I'm guessing it's a non-exciting security thing?

TIA
what was the update???
what did it come up with?
ran that update and now private mode fails to start.. grrrrr.. stupid me did not un-private quite some important files beforehand.
Update arrived also in Italy today
Hi
So when I wrote the OP, it was not a good time for me to run update.
Now I have - on Sunday two days ago. Before starting it showed a message mentioning "stability, features, improvements, yadayada" (can't post the screenshot due to forum limitations).
Have then been using the phone like I normally would, and have found NO difference at all ... Slightly disappointed...!
Same here... nothing changed! Nothing at all...
I have just acquired SE Xperia Mini Pro u20i. It was sealed, new in it's box and so had never been turned on, never received any firmware updates, nothing.
It is running Android 1.6!! There is no support for the phone anymore and there is no support for this version of Android. Therefore nothing works on the phone - I can't install apps, I can't use anything other than the stock internet browser, nothing.
I had grand plans to root and update the OS but I cannot find a single sensible place to start.
Please can someone help me? I have minimal rooting experience so links with a couple of instructions would be much appreciated. Once I'm rooted I feel like I can manage on my own, it's just getting to that stage seems impossible, is it???

I would like to help you!
You can search for applications for android 1.6!
If you do not have a file manager or app installer then install the applications via flashtool!!!
The Xperia X10 Mini Pro U20i has a 600 MHz clocked single core ARMv6 CPU and 256 MB RAM. There is no way to make it work with versions of Android above ~4.4.4 Kit Kat as there is no enough RAM and CPU power.
Also the U20i is older than smartphones of this XDA forum category (Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro SK17i, Ray ST18i, etc.) so there is no way to make the U20i work with ROMs dedicated to any of these models. And as far as I know there is no forum category dedicated to U20i. There seems to be an Android 2.1 based custom ROM for this device (link) but flashing it would not help with browsing and lack of compatibility with most of the nowadays applications as it still is a very old version of Android.
