Hi there...
Yes as Wolf says in his thread...
You will need any working room as installing Wolf's rom will pretty much erase and overwrite everything but I have experienced some troubles using any other room first...
So my recomendation is:
- Install stock update from SEUS, if you are NOT able to update via SEUS try Installing a stock firmware from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Then try debranding or re-branding your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824711&highlight=debrand
Then use SEUS to download/repair your stock firmware...
Latest flash tool will allow to Root and Install Xrecovery... the you are good to go.
Install Wolf's via Xrecovery, take out the battery and then flash BaseBand...
Install patches again and thats it...
Hope this works to clarify things up ^^

hey.... really thank you to come to help me
im really poor with this knowledge and im learning things now
What is SEUS ?
Is stock firmware install using flash ?
Why we need to debranding ? is it must to do ?
is this correct
1. install 2.1 using flash
2. Debranding
3. SEUS ( ? ) to repair the software
4. Root using flash tool
5. install Xrecovry
6. Install Wolf's via Xrecovery
7. take out the battery and then flash BaseBand
8. install V3 speed tweek using xrecover
9. install additionals using xrecovery
am i correct ?
please sorry for my poor knowledge im trying to learning things
thank you so much

if u have stock firmware u can install using Flash or else use SEUS(Sony Ericsson Update Service)
.. and ya ur steps are correct !!!
hope it works!!
jus thank me if i help ya out !! lol

Make sure you have the correct baseband number and kernel version (I mean, meet all the requariments the ROM asks) with the ROM you want to install.
If you have any other problems, pm me and I'll guide you exactly form the point you stuck.

well before installing custom ROM all you have to do is
1. reboot to xrecovery
2. in the advanced options, wipe dalvik-cache and battery stats
3. press back button
4. wipe cache
5. install custom zip > install custom zip from sdcard
6. look for slades minicm6 file and apply.
make sure you have the correct baseband, kernel version so you'll not be having problems

[Q] Could someone help me for root and rom ?

Hi everyone
I know this site for months and I'm actively looking for rooting and adding a ROM on my X10. But I'm not english (I'm french) so I don't understand all the things on this site, and as far as I know, if something goes wrong, my X10i can be blocked.
So I'm asking for somebody who could lend me a hand (I'm not sure about the expression ) to have root access on my phone, and by the way if it's possible, install a rom (Android 2.2 or 2.3 and stable if possible) on it.
By the way, I'm on 2.1-update1 (dualtouch I suppose) my Baseband version is 2.1.54.
Thank you in advance

Here is a tool that will help you root and do everything for fixing the phone in case you mess up.
Flashtool:

Guide to Flashtool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10879507#post10879507
If you have questions, feel free to keep asking.
Already have a question ^^
In the Flashtool Guide for n00bies, there is that point I suppose I have to follow :
1. ROOT ACCESS
To gain root acces it`s quite easy. Just have to do this:
1. On your phone check "debbuging mode" on Setting > Applications > Development
2. Plug you USB cable
3. Open your flashtool and click on Root box
4. Wait a few seconds and your phone will rebbot
5. Voilà
When I open flashtool, I can't press on the "Root" box. The only one activated is the "Flash" box. I unchecked and checked again the debugging mode. Did I miss something between point 2 and 3 ?
Oh and by the way, for the How To For Noobies, do I have to follow all the points one by one ? Or can I pass all, and immediately go on the "how to root and more ..." point (5th post) ?

Thank you Hemal for your rom
I'll tell you the informations anyways, we never know ... so, Baseband 2.1.54, Kernel 2.6.29, and Android Version 2.2.3 now thanks to Hemal, Achotjan, and others that helped me ^^
By the way, I've got a question, is it possible to have a dualboot or something like this, like Windows and Linux on the computer ?
If you have xRecovery installed you can boot into xRecovery mode....then from there, do a restore or backup.....or load other ROMs.
You could have several different ROMs.
For months I kept the stock ROM, eventually I just removed it and installed another ROM.

CM6 IS MOST FROYO ROMS 2.2 AND CM7 IS MOST GINGERBREAD 2.3
CUSTOM ROMS WITH CM7 GINGERBREAD STILL NOBODY SOLVE THE CAMERA ISSUE... ONLY TRIP IS THE ONE WHO SOLVE IT ON HIS ROM CALLED (MiUI "Iris" 0.9.5 Gingerbread!)
ACHOTJAN ROM IS CM6 FROYO 2.2.3 CAMERA SOLVED AND WORKING GRATE....
Achotjan ROM THERE IS NO CAMERA ISSUE...
YOU WANT TO INSTALL ANOTHER ROM....
THE LINKS I GAVE U THOSE R THE BEST ROM UNDER 2.2... IN EVERY LINK THERE HAVE INSTALL GUIDE ....
IN SHORT I TELL U..
01.DOWNLOAD THE ROM
02.GOTO XRECOVERY
03.IN RCVRY- Do a factory reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Wipe Dalvick cache
Wipe Battery stat
04. INSTALL COUSTOM ZIP
05.REBOOT
dats all
but AS U KNW INSTALLING ACHOTJAN ROM U NEED TO DO INSTALL UPDATE ZIP..... NOT INSTALL CUSTOM ZIP
GOT IT......
Yeah but if I do a factory reset, etc, I'll lose the old rom, so how to keep both in a dualboot, without deleting everything ?
When you create a backup of the original/stock ROM, copy the file or folder off the phone onto your computer.
I went through rooting and installing a ROM here -
http://androidforums.com/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10/371128-xrecovery-wont-install.html
I hate to post from another site, but here is what I did:
Alright....I'm going through the steps again to update my phone. Then I am gonna head to a buddies and do his.
Let's see if I can get this right.
I am going to load BlueSparks.
So I goto Blue Sparks and download the zip....unzip the BlueSparks zip and then put it in a folder on the sdcard in /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/Blue_Sparks written exactly like that (or it will give a md5 mismatch)
unzip the contents there (the .img file and stuff)
I then download and install the [TOOL] [UPDATE 22/03/2011] Flashtool BETA version 0.2.9.1 - xda-developers . I run it....click root and flash the phone with Baseband 2.1.67
Then I restart the phone. I make sure debugging is checked and Unknown Sources are checked. I use Adao File Manager and go to /sdcard/xRecovery I run xRecovery0.3.apk and I click Install
Then I open xRecovery from the app menu...I click Install and it brings up a message from SuperUser asking for permission. I click Allow.
That didn't do it.
I reset phone to factory default.
Started x10 Tool....plugged phone back in after reset.....turned debugging back on....and Unknown Sources. I clicked APK Installer and chose the xRecovery0.3.apk and installed that. Then I clicked Root again at the top.
Then I unplugged the phone and restarted.
I tried in x10 Tool again...clicked Ask Root Perm and it prompted me on the phone to access using SuperUser....now in x10 Tool I can click on xRecovery Then went under x10 Tool menu at the top and chose Reboot in xRecovery mode.
Finally in xRecovery. Factory Reset....yes
Wipe Cache Partition
Then under Advanced, Wiped Dalvik and Wiped Battery Stats.
Then in xRecovery I have to chose Restore and point to that folder....then it restores the image.
Reboot after the couple minutes it takes to install.
And that's it. Done....upgraded and ROMd.

[Q]Problem Installing Cyanogen 7 on my Neo

Hi all senior xda-developers XD
I'm new on Android.
I'm using SE Xperia Neo running GingerBread 2.3.4 build 4.0.2.A.0.62 with unlocked bootloader without root.
I try to installing Cyanogen 7 on my Neo but it always failed just reboot, reboot, reboot and reboot..
I have follow the wiki on the Cyanogen site when installing it, i try it 2 times and got the same result so i relock the BL and back to original stock firmware
Can someone tell me what's going wrong? or should i root it first before installing Cyanogen?
Have you flashed kernel with fast boot yes
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
No, because i don't know how to flash kernel and it is not on the Cyanogen installation wiki.
So, i need to flash the kernel first?

Here you go!Follow those step and you get cm7
So, "flash new kernel (always use the kernel provided in CM7 / it is incompatible with stock ROM)
ON PC - run fastboot flash boot boot.img (an black window will open and will stay open untill kernel is flashed)" this step is called flash kernel?
I've done it.. It said extract the CM7 packed and place the boot.img file on the same folder with Fastboot then run the command.
I just forgot whether i have wipe the data or not XD
Btw sorry for my english..
Anyway i read this:
" Hi all
Am a newbie in android things n just read here n there for info bout rooting
So i have a few things to clear out if some1 can help me sort out
1: Do i have to root my se neo if i wana put cm7 ?
2: Does rooting mean i can delete useless apps (not added ones nor dwnloaded ones) frm the firmware so that i can free rams in ma fone?

Hello
1.yes you need to root and unlock boot loader to use cm7
2.yes,after rooting using file manager like Root explorer you can delete unwanted apps aka bloatware"
So, if he true. I need to root my Neo first before installing CM7 on my Neo?

[Q] Help! Upgrading Xperia X10 Mini Pro (u20i) to MiniCM9-3.0.1 [5/5/12]ICS 4.0.4/CM9

HI evryone,
I am just a beginner using android for few months... My device is Xperia X10 Mini pro U20i..
I tried to upgrade to MIniCM9 3.0.1 from CM7 (CM7 was working wel, i just wanted to upgrade)..
I downloaded MiniCM9-3.0.1 [5/5/12]ICS 4.0.4/CM9 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636501
I wiped cache, user data and dalvik cache n tried to install CM9 rom.. It installed successfully, but I received a warning message. 'Should have kernel flashed to atleast ics-nAa 01' like dat...
But when i rebooted, it didnt go beyond d Sony Ericsson logo.. I went back to stock 2.1 using SEUS..
Then I rooted mobile using SuperOneClick 1.6.5 n rooted successfully. But wen i flashed the kernel 'U20_nAa-ics_01_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-01.ftf' or 'U20_nAa-ics_01_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-02.ftf' from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636504, it couldnt flash.. I get an error ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"..
I tried flashing with flashtool 0.2.9.1 and with flashtool 0.7.1.0 but i couldnt get it done..
Can anyone help me with dis? Why do i receive dat error message? How can I upgrade to CM9??
While upgrading to CM7, I never flashed my device. I just rooted it, installed xrecovery n cleared factory data, disk cache, dalvik cache n installed d rom... So, is there any similar way to install CM9 also without using flashtool?
Thanks..
You need a custom kernel for MiniCM9, and the reason you can not flash this kernel is because your bootloader is locked. In the kernel thread there is a link to the tutorial on unlocking your bootloader, but please be careful, it doesn't work for everyone
Thanks for dat...
Is there a way we can install CM9 on U20i without unlocking bootloader?
Also, plz tell, does SEUS work after unlocking bootloader?
No you can't install MiniCM9 on anything other than the nAa-ICS kernel, and for that you need an unlocked bootloader
Yes, seus or pc companion will still work with an unlocked bootloader. the worst that can happen when unlocking the bootloader is that you will lose the ability to use your phone as a phone (disabled radio-capabilities). Check if it still works before flashing a kernel and custom rom, if it doesn't relock the bootloader and stay on stock kernel.
How to relock Bootloader? Link for U20i Stock Kernel..
Oh. Thanks a lot..
How to relock bootloader? I saw in a forum somewhere that there s no way to relock bootloader..
Also I tried to download the stock kernel for U20i from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225... They have given the link for downloading the stock kernel as http://db.tt/ukt80PBn
But the link doesnt work. I have searched many times but could neither open it nor find alternative link.. Can u plz tell any alternative link for it?
Thanks so much for ur responses..
First of all, you can relock your bootloader using S1Tool (by pressing the restore button), but if it is succesfully unlocked there is no need to relock it at all, unless you need to take it back to the shop for repairs under warranty.
(I can't remember where i got the latest version of S1tool from, i'll search for it later if you need it)
as far as the stock kernel is concerned, just do a repair with pc companion or maybe seus, i usually use pc companion. it won't relock your bootloader but will install a fresh stock kernel and rom. After that you can root, install recovery or cwm whatever you used and restore the backup you hopefully made of your MiniCM7 rom.
Mind you: At this moment Minicm9 is not an upgrade yet in the sense that it will make your phone work better or easier, it's still very early in development and not that easy to get working well, if you need your phone on a day-to-day basis, stick with MiniCM7 for now.
Thanks a lot for that info..
I hav no complaints wid CM7. I just wanted to upgrade to ICS since it is out there.
I'll try unlocking bootloader n cm9. I'll go back to cm7 if it doesnt work or if it isnt suited for day-to-day operations..
Thanks so mch for ur help.. I ve understood a lot.. Thanx again.. :-D
If u find d link for S1tool, kindly post it..

If you want to run MiniCM7, by nAa, you need to unlock your bootloader and flash the nAa GB kernel (currently at version 13).
If you want to run MiniCM7Pro, you can run it without a custom kernel and without unlocking your bootloader.
They are two different ROMS with almost the same name, i can understand why that can be a bit confusing
MiniCM7Pro
Thank you very much SmG67, for your fast and valuable reply. Am a newbie here and I am trying to learn the things.Your information is really cleared my fear about bricking. I have few doubts to share with you sir,
What is the main difference between minicm7 and minicm7pro ?
If I opt minicm7pro now, then Can I upgrade or install minicm9 later ?
Minicm7pro by Bpaul is not giving any instruction for how to install it. So where can I get the instructions

If you want to run MiniCM7, by nAa, you need to unlock your bootloader and flash the nAa GB kernel (currently at version 13).
If you want to run MiniCM7Pro, you can run it without a custom kernel and without unlocking your bootloader.

Minicm7Pro was a port to the x10mini-pro from early MiniCM7 for the x10-mini, but it got updated to the latest Gingerbread, while still working with the stock kernel, minicm7 was released later and moved to the nAa-custom kernel, which gave it some performance benefits.
If you can unlock your bootloader, you can flash any kernel and rom you like that is available for your phone, but MiniCM7Pro or ArcMini Nxt (which runs on just about any kernel) are good places to start anyway.
for installing MiniCM7Pro you need:
2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware with *4015 baseband (check Settings - About Phone, the baseband should end in 4015)
Rooted phone
ClockWorkMod Recovery
Copy the MiniCM7Pro zip to your sd-card
Boot into CWM (press back-button on the kernel-logo)
Do a backup
Install the ROM
Wipe factory-data/reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache (in CWM advanced)
Wipe Batttery Stats (in CWM advanced)
Reboot and enjoy
MiniCM7Pro
Thank you very much, and I am now looking into how to install it on my device.Because minicm7pro thread is not giving any step by step instruction to install it. I am really appreciating your help. Good day
@ SmG67
Thank you very much for your advice's and I upgraded my x10 mini pro to android 2.3.7 ( cm7 pro) . I really appreciating your help on this regard.

MiniCM 7 pro to ICS
@ SmG67
hi... My x10 mini pro running on Minicm7 pro by paul and stock kernel.I installed it according to your advice and I appreciating your helping words. Now I would like to move to ICS rom and nAa kernel. I have few doubts regarding installation.
1. Do I need to go back to old 2.1 factory ROM before flashing ics and ics nAa kernel ?
2. If yes, How can I install old SE rom ?
3. Can I install MiniCm9 over JB nAa kernel ? because it will reduce my job when am moving to ics to JB rom
Thx

1. No
2. 1 was a no, so no need for that
3. No, it won't work.
For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
Thank you SmG67....I checked my device with s1tool and found " SEMC SIMLOCK CERTFICATE " then forwarded to flash tool. But I faced an issue and my flashing halted. When I am connecting my phone it will detect and showing INFO : For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode ....then going to charging mode....Dont know whats the reason ? :crying:
For your info : I installed all x10,x8,x10 mini pro ADB drivers, fastboot drivers, Flashmode drivers etc. USB debugging is ON, unknown sources is enable......my flashtool version was 0.6.8.0 .

Our phone is 2010 device so don't worry about the mtp mode thingy
Your lfashing halted because you didn't unlock your bootloader yet.
Connect your phone to flashtool
Choose Únlock bootloader' in the plugins menu
Follow Instructions
Flash the kernel
You should be fine

1) If you are already on 2.3.3(GB-GingerBread) then there is no need to flash .71 basenand as you are already on it.
2) if you want to reduce steps just upgrade to 2.3.3 official via SEUS or PCC
3) what do you mean both camera? we only have one back camera which will work perfectly
4) wifi will also be perfect

if your baseband is .71 then and then only you can upgrade to 2.3.3 because .71 can only be flashed via flashtool using usb.
