did you flash the right kernel? nAa-ICS-04 kernel for miniCM9 3.0.3?

For X10 Mini Pro, use this Kernel and ROM
Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636504
ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636501
works perfectly or almost ^^

absolutely sure i did, at least on my dad's phone. i don't think i flashed nAa 04 on my pal's, but that was because that version hadn't been released at the time.

thanks a bunch, but i only have access to a x10 mini at the time of writing. just to avoid confusing you, i only used the appropriate files for the x10 mini, (strictly from the x10 mini, not pro forums) and strictly the files from the pro forums for the x10 mini pro.
This forum is used for both models Xperia X10 Mini and Xperia X10 Mini Pro
But if you need only the files of X10 Mini, here they are:

Hi,
when I posted this, I did not see a thread on this already, so no attacking!!
I'm sure it's been looked at, I don't think it's novel, but what would happen if you flashed the new SE Mini rom on the old mini? Why would it break? (I'm guessing) because it's just a rom. Would we need to see the new mini get a custom kernal (has it already?) with inbuilt recovery? then flash kernal with recovery then new mini rom?
If posting this, an existing post did not come up, then maybe this hasn't been discussed? Just trying to learn, no attacking....
I don't understand, do you wan't to update or what?
Assuming you mean the 2010 X10 Mini pro and the 2011 Mini Pro, then surely it won't work because the hardware is different (even though the form factor is same/similar).
Yeah I mean update the 2010 Mini with 2011 Mini ROM.
I know some of the hardware is different, but why is it not possible? 2011 Mini now has a battery, faster processor and more RAM...but that really stops a ROM being flashed? SE in their 2011 ROMS still use Android...they just skin it and add a few apps. Why couldn't we at least pluck things out, if not copy/imitate/directly flash such a ROM?
We already have Gingerbread working on the old U20i, so what would you be trying to do? Re-invent the wheel?
You'd need to find/write new drivers for the hardware, which is currently the stalling point with porting ICS on this device.

There it is...that's it...gingerB is avail. on CyanoG. Mind you, notice the pattern of people moving away from official SE stuff for a long time, anything but SE, now look at the forum, full of threads about how to get Arc/X10/Neo/New mini stuff. Apparently the demand is there.
I'm using E10i, I've no idea what roms are available for U10i/20 etc.
Edited:
Ok, so I unlocked the phone now, and I installed this rom:
tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200675
But the kernel still doesn't seem to allow wireless tethering.
Any ideas?
----------------------------------------
Ok, here it is.
There is an article stating that the Xperia series won't receive a new Kernel:
"Sony Ericsson Developer Karl-Johan Dahlström has confirmed that the company’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update will use the same linux kernel that it is currently using for existing software. The Xperia Android 2.3.4 software is using the 2.6.32 linux kernel (as is the alpha ICS ROM from Sony Ericsson) and it was hoped that the final ICS update would use a newer kernel"
Since I am a noob in all phone development stuff, let me ask you these basic and simple questions:
The current kernel version of my phone is 2.6.29
So when Sony will release the ICS update, will my phone's kernel be updated to 2.6.32 ? Or will it stay as it is?
And also, is kernel 2.6.32 enough to allow features like Native Wifi Tethering, Sending apps to SDCard, etc...?
In short will the ICS update allow the xperia mini to support those features, or shall I forget about the update and flash some roms and kernels?
thanks for answers.
PS:
Link to original article:
w.xperiablog.net/2012/01/05/sony-ericsson-confirms-unchanged-kernel-for-android-4-0-ics-release/
There won't be any updates here at all... They don't care about Xperia 2010 phones anymore. It's all for 2011/2012 phones ONLY.
The Xperia Mini is a 2011 phone.
I think I got mine in 2010...

The Xperia Mini is, but the Xperia X10 mini isn't.
If you have an Xperia Mini you should check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1239
I have a X10 mini a.k.a. E10i, and it was released in March, 2010.
I assumed it was _this_ mini we where talking about since the post was in the "XPERIA X10 Mini Q&A" part of the forum.
Xperia mini is not XPeria X10 mini?

Exactly. Blame them for naming it and not supporting it.
Checked. Sony is getting more and more stupid. Xperia Mini 2, was somehow named as just "Xperia Mini". It's not even available in my Country.
total confusion.

Se xperia mini pro x10
u20i / 2.3.7 / miniCM7Pro v21
ok my issue here is that i can't detect the wifi. It has nothing got to do with the router as i am unable to detect ANY wifi ANYwhere.
This is the 2nd time it happen. i've read somewhere it said to wipe clean, so i did a full wipe and it solve the problem, and it happened again after just one week. I found some others who are having the same issue but those were x8.
Anyone experienced such issue with their mini pro x10 before??? How did u manage to solve it(permanently)??

Hmmm... The same thing happened to me, when I used the miniCM7Pro-v21 ROM. So it has some issues ... I tried to reinstall the ROM, praying that it would be a solution. But that didn't worked out either. And I made a decision ... I flashed to rom with the latest version of the nAa kernel. And installed the MiniCM7-2.2.0 for the Pro version. And it made this bug in the begining just ONCE!!. Hope that would be an answer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------O--------------------------------------------------------------------
IN THE BEGINING :
Sony Ericsson T290i --> Sony Ericsson W300i ( My ex-music man )
THE BREAKTHROUGH :
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro
• Previously :
ROM: MiniCM7Pro v21 Gingerbread 2.3.7
KERNEL : Stock Kernel ( 2.1.1.A.0.6 )
• Now :
ROM : MiniCM7-2.2.0 Gingerbread 2.3.7/CM7.2 unofficial port for the pro
KERNEL : 2.6.29.6-nAa-11
I had simular problem with MiniCM. I think it happened when i told it to forget a LAN while i was connected to it.
I had to tell it to forget all networks, and i could rediscover them and connect to them.
Jinghis
can u give me the link, afraid i will download the wrong rom. thanks mate.
Fredruj
i do not think my issue is the same as your's. it does not even scan for any available wifi and i did not fiddle with anything when the problem happened.
Jinghis
just found the link , silly me for having small eyes.
sorry to ask, i am very nub in handphone. So i just need to :-
1 make a back up in cmw?
2 do a clean wipe?
3 flash the rom
4 done?
ok i've read somewhere it says to chg my router to channel 11, and it worked!
but why did it chg suddenly, and how do i go about it, as i cant be requesting every hotspot area i go to to chg their wifi settings.

I didn't like how your request sound, but going to try and help.
for 2.1 I think that stock is stable, what you should do, is root it, install a recovery, and a app2sd or link2sd.
so you can check this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1682966 for that.
and in this thread you can see a few topics about the x10mp. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944569
this one is a 2.1 rom and the download link is still alive. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206625
i think that with this you could get a 2.1 rom with all the things. personally I would just flash a custom kernel, and 2.3GB rom
Hello guys! U believe it or not I still use my Xperia mini pro and I have cianogen mod 2,1 android. Is there any good working ROM etc etc to resurrect it again? (I have other phones too) but I love this little guy
There's a new compact Xperia to be released tomorrow. I don't think it'll be as compact as the Xperia mini pro though. The only 11 year old phone I know of which is still seeing recent development is the Samsung Galaxy SII i9100.

Well, believe it or not, you're not the only one I'm still using Xperia Mini as my main phone actually (never had the Pro version, thinking also of getting one to play with it, but I love my Mini and will probably never replace it).
I might help you with your request, tell me which ROM would you like to try, for Marshmallow (Android 6) or Lineage (Android 7)? You can PM me also if you like.
I love these little devices of mine, but unfortunately I no longer use them because there is not enough space (storage):
1. I definitely want to write with them 2. and with my goddaughter / niece (who saw them and wants to use one when we spend time together)
The problem is that I no longer remember how to root. The factory ROM can be enough for me and I can remove the excess to have minimal storage space, I want to write (text editor, maybe e-mail) and e.g. Total Commander sw and possibly retro games designed for this screen resolution... : )))
Please help me with this! I might also be interested in a custom ROM. 8)
Best regards,
John

This phone is perfect and I wish for a re release..thank you for ur help!! Well from both sound good! I have cyanogen mod 2.1 and old recovery and non tutorials any more out there. U have any tutorial?
I've never stopped using this phone since I bought one many years ago.... I've had more than I can remember... I dont need apps, chat, BS.... just calls, text and camera (and some internet... google search etc) and of course, a keyboard. This phone is perfection.
It still looks like a modern phone today, in fact it looks more modern than the latest phones, I always have people aask me about my phone.
Anyway, I recently lost mine and had to get a replacement and I lost my HDD that contained all of the old firmware.
I'm looking for the stock .587 FW with android ICS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-sk17-mini-pro-4-1-b-0-587-generic-version.1907994/
But all links are dead and I cant find it anywhere online. Does anyone still have it?
