Hey guys,I own optimus one and I m used to rooting and stuff but my brother owns xperia mini pro so I need to install cyanogenmod (9 or10) whichever is stable.I had gone through various guides and stickies yet I want to be dead sure that I don't mess up my brothers handset. Its kinda new coz bootloader needs to be unlocked and also kernel image needed to be flashed separately unlike in optimus one.
Now I want help of you guys in the following manner like:-
1. My brothers mini pro is on ICS 4.1.B.0.587 and the rooting tutorial provided here for the said firmware
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0 is not clear to me coz it says that first I need to install some kernel [only mini mentioned here] then next I need to flash another kernel according to firmware. Can someone explain what is being done in this and why rooting is so complicated in this.
2. Certain ROM's say that you need to flash kernel first using flashtool
My query is that all ROM's that I flashed till now on optimus one included kernel and I only needed to flash ROM zip through cwm.. So do I need to flash kernel everytime I flash ROM!! and isn't there flashable zip for kernel too!!
3. FXP ROM's do not contain things like what's working and what's not, it only has issue tracker so it become difficult for new comer to know the bugs in ROM. Can anyone tell me the least bugs cm9 & cm10 ROM and what are the bugs present.
4. Lastly, should I proceed like this!!
i. Root device (though method isn't clear to me)
ii. unlock bootloader
iii. install cwm (I guess I can do this using flashtool)
iv. backup current ROM along with kernel (for future use,I know its optional)
v. flash kernel using flashtool
vi. flash ROM through cwm.
I m a quick learner and I just need some guidance on this new device (double checking coz its my bro's device) . Looking forward for support. Thanks

You needn't root first if you want to unlock bl, just unlock bl and flash a custom kernel (in most custom kernels cwm is included).
Backup your rom and install the rom...
hmmm....
1. Unlock Bootloader........
2. Flash Custom Kernel (all custom kernel is per-rooted and have CWM).......
3. Boot into CWM and Flash CM9 or CM10 (factory format/wipe dalvik/cache).....
4. Boot into Fastboot And Flash FXP kernel for CM9 or CM10.....
xperia phones aren't like sammy, lg or htc where recovery is a separate partition from kernel. in fact, by default xperia phones doesn't even have "stock recovery" like on other phone. by that we integrate cwm in kernel ramdisk.
and to answer the question:
1- flash custom kernel mean't for your phone only, never ever flash kernel intended for other phone. and its done via fastboot and should be flashed before flashing rom.
2- like i said u can't compare xperia phone with other phone like sammy etc, its different. kernel must be flash via fastboot.
3- for cm10, bugs that i notice is slow accelerator, but fixable with some text editing, and non working front camera for lww and minipro.
4- should be like this, according to order:
- unlock bootloader.
- flash kernel via fastboot.
- boot into cwm.
- backup rom if u want.
- wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. don't wipe system partition or u will get error when flashing rom later.
- flash rom, and gapps if its cm/aokp/pa rom.
- profit :good:
thank you guys.... this made me clear...
one last thing :- which kernel should I flash on stock 4.1.B.0.587 which is pre rooted and have cwm after unlocking bootloader.I mean the one compatible with above firmware and also do I need to do anything with baseband or will it be compatible. After this m ready to enter the custom xperia world
Remember to backup your stock rom before unlocking the bootloader as everything will be wiped clear.

No, i just meant that backup up your contacts, messages, apps (can be done through astro file manager) etc, before unlocking your bootloader because unlocking will wipe your data.

Hi and welcome to X10 XDA first of all There are few steps you got to get through for safer flashing.
1)Update to OFFICIAL 2.3.3Gingerbread using latest SEUS/PC Companion by Sony to get Baseband 2.1.71 and Stock SEMC Kernel
2)Get Flashtool [newest or Older version] to Root your X10
3)INstalling Xrecovery [Optional but got benefits if you installed it]
4)[MUST]Using S1Tool, Check your SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE whether Setool2 or SemC. If one of two certificate is there, safe to unlock Bootloader. If No simlock certificate found, might be risky/problematic in unlocking bootloader process.
5)Download Necessary FTF files(called Flashtool Firmware) and ROM.Zip Files from the link of your desired ROM [To get Custom Kernel and CWM recovery flashing]
6)Unlocking Bootloader using Flashtools/Unlocking tools by senior 9luka5 [IF SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE FOUND] and Flash custom kernels, get to CWM recovery and flash ROM.zip..then reboot. First boot is longer abit, and if successful, will lead you to setup guide / homescreen.
Extra: If you wanna understand how things work or be done, you can visit my signature link for more reading materials. Although methods are older version abit, but trusted and Safer. Hope Helps. Cheers and Goodluck

dude, u got high expectation lol. u just bought the phone and u want to install the latest rom. possible.
ASK SOMEONE EXPERIENCED TO HELP YOU WITH THIS PROCESS. YOU CANT DO IT ALONE IF YOU JUST BOUGHT THE PHONE:
1) flash 2.1 stock rom
2) use z4root app to root ur phone
3) install busybox
4) unlock bootlaoder
5) install xRecovery
6) boot into xPrecovery
7) wipe date, cache, dalvik
8) fix permissions
9) install custom zip
10) choose the downlaoded zip file
11) flash the kernel and baseband files needed for ur rom (most likely two separate .ftf files: one for kernel one for baseband) using flashtool

Have you unlocked your bootloader? I suspect not. This is what flashtools is referencing.
Custom roms and mods that work on stock kernels can be installed on rooted devices.
Some mods/roms make such significant changes to Sony's builds that a new kernel is required (MIUI, CM, AOKP). To install a custom kernel you need to unlock your bootloader.
You may read the instructions provided by the author of the rom., to flash kernels, you need to unlock your bootloader. Seek and you'll see.
Is that right? lol

Now you’ve flashed one ROM on the Ray I can’t see you stopping
It doesn’t matter what WE recommend because your experience of which is the best ROM may be different to ours.
Try them all – I usually change mine once a month. But in my humble opinion, the most cutting edge, fully featured, experimental yet suitable for daily use ROM is PAC. My little Ray runs smoother than my wife’s Galaxy S2 and has so much more swagger – to borrow from AOKP.
so you recommend PAC rom ? actullay i want to stay with my stock based smooth (ASOP) ROM. if you know something then pls recommend me
I would like to run custom ROMs( CM) based in my device. To start with, I aj a total noob and my device currently runs stock ICS provided by sony itself. It's not rooted. I wanted to know the steps regarding how-to do the procedures like :
~> unlock bootloader ( is it needed or not)
~>root (needed or not)
~> flash custom ROM( which one is good and runs fast,least buggy)
~> which CM?
~> which recovery, which kernel, how-to's
Etc.
I don't know if all info is available on the forum in one thread or not, so I created a new thread.
Thanks in advance.
AW: Help regarding Sola Custom ROMs
You have to try every ROM on your own! Everybody has an other way to use it's Smartphone, so nobody can say which ROM is perfect for you and Root and CWM is needed for every Custom ROM Cause you need CWM to install the ROM and to install CWM you need Root And if the ROM is compatible with a locked or unlocked BL is said in every OP of a Custom ROM
Open your eyes and use the search function! You can find nearly EVERYTHING here on xda
But still a guide would be helpful...if possible...

If you don't wanna unlock your bootloader(which will void your warranty) but you wanna install cwm, you can always root your phone and install the cwm recovery... Now, every custom roms is very good!!! You must be thankful to all the devs here and try some roms on yourself... We can't tell that which Rom is good for you so you must try it on your own... CyanogenMod 9 is good and very smooth but requires you to unlock your bootloader... You also must unlock your bootloader to flash awesome kernels that provides overclock and many more...
You can find cwm recovery for locked bootloader at here!! Be sure to follow the steps properly!!
And to root stock .54, you must first flash the .10 kernel using flashtool, root it using binary method, then flash back the .54 kernel..
hi.
i have a "lww". im root. my model is wt19a 4.0.4 build 4.1.B.0.431 kernel [email protected] # 1.
can i flash any kernal for my phone? if no, does it have to be compatible by build or model?
First of all to install custom kernel You need to unlock bootloader. Not every phone can be unlocked, cause it depends if Your phone's bootloader unlock status is yes or no. You can check this in service menu (in dialer tap *#*#7378423#*#* [ *#*#SERVICE#*#* ] ) and go to Service Info and Configuration. There should be rooting status.
It's also good to make .FTF files from Your ROM to use them in flashtool BEFORE any modifications. Just in case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075736

Thanks for the reply.
my bootloader says yes. now i thought the whole thing witht the bootloader was for rooting. like i mentioned before i am rooted. i have already made a backup of my stock rom if thats what you mean by making my own .ftf file. dude where is the thank you button?
Nope, rooting Your device will give You access to system partition, but it doesn't allow to change kernels.
Backup in .zip is fine, but I suggest to make a .ftf. It will help You to "unbrick" Your phone if something bad happen (cause if it's problem with ROM U have to flash any working ROM anyway, but if U unlock Your bootloader SUS and PC Companion won't work, so the only solution is to flash it using flashtool). Also .ftf will allow You to revert software to stock one, with branding, customization etc. (if U would like to use warranty for any purpose stock ROM and branding are necessary).
So if bootloader unlock status is yes - then U are able to unlock Your bootloader and install any custom kernel. Check this thread, it will help You with everything. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2148684

i found that thread last night thats why i posted this question.
my boot loader says yes. i also flashed cwm using recoverx.
just to be sure. with my phone software the i mentioned above ^^. using lets say flashtool i can flash any kernal rom combination even if it .587, or for lets say or the wt19i?
thanks again for the help.
No, not every combination will work And flashtool is used to repair phone, not to flash custom ROMs. There are some ROMs working on stock kernel (which U have now) - mainly based on stock .431 or .587 software. U can flash them using recovery (which U have now). To be honest I don't know what are the differences between wt19i and wt19a. But as a experiment (lol) I flashed baseband from SK17a into my SK17i and everything was ok. That's why I told U to create a ftf package, which will allow U to flash stock ROM if something went wrong.
So, for now:
If U would like install any ICS ROM (based on original Sony .431 or .587 compilation - You can try it right away.
If U would like to flash CyanogenMod ROMs (CM7.2 [android 2.x GingerBread], CM9 [android 4.0.x IceCreamSandwich], CM10 [android 4.1 JellyBean], CM10.1 [android 4.2 JellyBean], CM10.2 [android 4.3 JellyBean] ) and other based on it, U will have to unlock bootloader at the first place and then flash kernel suitable for Your device (LWW is coded as coconut) and then flash ROM.

im sorry i asked so much. as your aware im a noob. till now i only rooted/flashed a galaxy 5 (not s5). it was so easy.
i assume im going to use cwm to flash the kernel, am i wrong?
if not a tutorial link will be fine and ive got all the points. and this is one hard phone to customize. but i wanted the 1.ghz processor.
thank you like in a big way man.
CWM is used to backup Your ROM and install custom ROMs. To flash kernel U will have to use fastboot mode, and it has nothing in common with CWM. Check this thread, 2nd post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730874

You can backup all your data using Backup&Restore app.
To flash a custom rom you need root access and cwm (Make sure you follow the instructions carefully. Also, don't use cwm from another device except sola; Some root methods are universal but you have to take a look if they support sola and ics too)
Once you root your device, you can install cwm.
Once you installed cwm, you download the rom you want to flash (always be sure that's is for sola and not for other devices) and you flash it via cwm (to enter in cwm, press the volume down button once you see during the boot the Sony Logo; You have to press continuously the volume down button for 4-6 times.)
Before flashing the rom, in cwm, you have from the cwm menu, to wipe cache, dalvik cache(advanced menu) and personal data.
Notice also that if your bootloader is locked, you can only flash roms based on ics and gb, not those based on jb. (unlocking the bootloader, you will make you loose your warranty).
For any further help let me know.
