Question about installing custom ROMS - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hey guys, I have a LWW and I am on stock .62 FW. I was wondering do I need to downgrade to install a custom ROM? I have unlocked the bootloader. Now the only prob is I cannot get root on .62 and I need CWM. Will installing a custom kernel also install CWM ?? Please guide me I am a new sony ericcson user..

so u just want cwm. so here is the LINK to download cwm.
just extract files and
1.Connect your device using usb data cable
2.Enable USB Debugging on device
3.install-cwm2.cmd for Xperia Mini / MiniPro / Active / Live With Walkman
4.Follow on screen instruction
but it requires root.

You need to install kernel also. Read carefully next time and learn before you do anything stupid.

So ur phone is stuck at Sony Ericsson logo...!!
Actually if u want to install custom or custom kernel then u need to have a boot-loader unlocked !!
did u read this from hybrom thread??
Needs unlocked bootloader
(actually hybrom does not contain a boot image.Thus, when you install hybrom you don't mess with your boot image at all.BUT recovery from nAa is installed in /system and while system is formated during the installation of hybrom,recovery messes with it self.That's why unlocked bootloader and a custom kernel with recovery is necessary for now to install hybrom)

1.first install stock rom and kernel from flashtool
link for stock rom and kernel : here
2.then u need to unlock your boot-loader through official way

here u will get a unlock code, then u have to use that code to unlock bootloader via flashtool and preserve unlock code for future use!!
3.after unlocking bootloader then u have to flash custom kernel then custom rom.

if you want 2.2, all the roms based on 2.2 will work on stock kernel, so you don't need to unlock the bootloader, just hope the download links still work.
If you want 2.3, go to the MiniCM7 thread, the last version to run on stock kernel is 2.0.7, which can still be downloaded from the dev's repository, there is a link in his first post where you can find it.
Any later versions are all based on a custom kernel, so you won't have any luck with those.
Good luck
can u give me the link for 2.2 n also for 2.3.....
& tell me all bugz r removed...........
thanxx for your support....
I posted similar questions the other day on here trying to update my x10 mini pro to 2.3 which I got resolved.
My post towards the bottom tells how I got my phone updated without having to unlock the bootloader and only took about 20 minutes and since installing that rom other roms that don't require an unlocked bootloader are simple to install now and take a matter of minutes to install through cwm recovery.

dude that post is for pro not for mini......
if any dev have link so...plezz give it 2 me i wan't 2.3....full working in my xperia without any bugzz
thanxx 4 your support
Do you have your phone rooted and clockworkmod installed?
If not you will need that done.
Use super1click to root your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Then install cwmrecovery for x10 mini http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513534
Then you should be able to install roms that don't require an unlocked bootloader using cwm recovery, booting into it by pressing the back key repeatedly when the white sony ericsson logo text comes up. You need to copy rom to your sd card and once in cwm recovery back up your current rom and then install a new rom.
bro.....i wan't 2.3......if dere any link for 2.3...with unlocking bootloader
plezz provide me
i would be thankfull 2 u....

Is your phone rooted and do you have clockworkmod recovery installed?
If not you will have to root your phone and install clockworkmod recovery - I had some problems getting clockworkmod recovery installed on my 2.1 stock rom but the link I put in my previous post installed it without any problems.
Once rooted and clockworkmod recovery installed these roms will install through clockworkmod recovery without the need to unlock your bootloader

This is the last version of MiniCM7 (GB 2.3.5) which will still run on stock kernel on the E10i.
There is not much else, but it's fairly bug-free as far as i can tell from personal experience.
I think you can do that by going on your Settings Menu.
can u explain ......

how can i flash kernel using flashtool? when using flashtool it says device not connected..
Have you got sdk tools installed? If not just download here.
You must shut down your device and press volume up while connecting to pc. Then you open flashtool and click on the flash and then select flashmode. Just choose thee boot.img of the kernel. BUT THAT ONLY WORKS IF YOU HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!!
Otherwise flash the stock rom. Just look here in step 2 are steps to root .62/.69 firmware and you must do the "downgrade" to flash firmware, too. Just look at step 2 and do it like it's explained to flash the 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware. ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE LOST!!
You probably installed rom with stock kennel.. Hmm ... You should use recommended kernel for real ics.. Download kamarush. Kernel and flash it .. Bootloop will be gone...
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
You have to flash correct kernel for your ROM....try KRsH or MESA kernel
