NOTE :
you can port any rom from other devices because XMP, XM and LWW brothers. and that is why we are in theard the same. porting means just, replace a few files. So you can do it Replace the hw_config, sensors.conf, copy smultron touch hex firmware file /etc_firmware/ and DELETE mango hex's, and edit the build prop /just replace all sk17 and mango or mini pro lines/. And this is all. Flash the mini kernel and install the rom.but for XMP, you must replace the "usr" to the physical keyboard and some file for the adjustment.
thanks to kamarush
BEFORE WE START THERE ARE SOME REQUIRMENTS TO FLASH A ROM AND KERNEL SUCH AS..
{1}.YOUR Bootloader MUST BE unlocked.I THINK 80% OF ROM NEEDS UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER..WITHOUT IT YOU CANT FLASH CUSTOM ROM...
THERE ARE TWO WAYS OR METHODS OF UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER...
(1).OFFICIAL WAY:http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/
(2).TEST POINT METHOD:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285285
YOU WILL VOID YOUR WARRENTY IF YOU UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER...
....YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER ON ABOVE LINKS....
{2}.YOU MUST BE ROOTED AND HAVE CMW(ClockWorkMode) INSTALL ON YOUR PHONE
HOW TO FLASH CMW IS GIVEN HERE:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345741
BEST WAY TO HAVE ROOT AND CMW IS TO FLASH CUSTOM KERNEL.
IF YOU HAVE ABOVE THINGS THEN YOU ARE READY TO GO...
...TO FLASH CUSTOM KARNEL YOU WILL NEED FLASTOOL:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309....

thanks but i need help......
a few days ago i'v accidentaly press Repair TA in Octopus SE 1.0.9 when my wt19i was connected in flash mode (the green light mode)
after that my phone starts normaly but i can't put my phone in flash mode any more
what does repair TA do to my phone
and who can i fix it
i'v a Thread here but not solved
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466492
((( When I try to enter the download mode (green light), nothing happens
And by turning off the phone and then remove the battery for thirty seconds and then hold down the button on the vol - and while it put the cable to the phone
This way I follow you since the first use of the phone and they are successful and you use the flash tool to update the phone with ease
However, this method no longer working, and when applied to the phone continues to take off the battery charging status
I have experience on another computer and another cable but without the benefit of
even fastboot mode
but i can enter fastboot mode via flash tool 5 )))
Sony Ericsson PC Companion updated my phone three days ago to 62 stock room
but still cant enter flash mode
Is there any solution ......
note:
about the original TA file
i'v followed the path :
C:\Program Files (x86)\GsmServer\Octopus_SE\BACKUP
and found a file there :
WT19i_35850804005723_27-01-2012_01-36-04.TA
this is the original TA
now how to write it to my phone to restore (vol- & vol+ function)

use Flashtool version 0.6.7...open flashtool connect your mobile via usb..check unknown source and usb debugging are on..you have to be in MSC mode instead of MTP mode to get into fastboot mode or flash mod..now to get into fastboot mod click on flash on flashtool 6.7..then there will two mode flashmod and fastboot mod..in flashboot you can flash tft files..and fastboot mode is to flash custom kernel..in fastboot mod just click on reboot into fastboot mode(via adb)..then your device will boot ino fastboot mode..then if you want to flash kernel then click on select kernel to flash..after flashing click on reboot device into system..if your device doesnt boot in to fastboot mode then check weather adb drivers are install or not..

this is a kind of a rom..it changes all things..but dont have any script..but you can try rom toolbox pro from android market it has many features like sd card read speed font change,boot animation change..to do all this you need only root and cmw install...without unlocking bootloader...isnt it great.so if you want then try it..

I already mod my sk17i this way,only thoud there is something else I can do with it.Thanks any way.
