[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hi.lusan:
i can understand:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] positifadi:
I'm very tired to wait it
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ARNOB:
JUNE it is ! -_-
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nmnarora:
Technically, 1st week of june isn't over by next saturday, the 9th. Anyways i wouldnt bet much before 3rd June (Monday).

Well..... its worth the wait. ;) If they delay more than the first week, then we all are going to be furious! :mad:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tubit:
still no update :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SoloRazr:
Why don't we all kill the time preparing our phones for the update instead of complaining?

I'm sure rolling out a major update is not an easy task. We are lucky Sony is doing this for all of us. There are many other manufacturers who doesn't care giving their users updates, yeah? :cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Till-Kruspe:
I agree with you... :cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shprakash:
furious for what? jus making ur self angry n frustrated tats it.. come on guy sony has conformed for all 2011 Xperias rite. chill out guys....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] boyq:
I decided not to "wait" for the update.

I'll just watch movies, play games,etc. it's more "productive" somehow hehe.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stickedy:
Sorry, it was Eclair (2.1) of course! Just confused the names...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ChavitoArg:
I have an idea, play NOVA 3! :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] whalesplaho:
Just know there will update... am just watching movies!!! :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] katuss:
guys just now checked through pcc it said new update available.... after 3 day phew....

xperia ray....

218mb gonna take sometime
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prateek_gemini:
Good that means servers and all are up and running ... now we just have to wait for SI :)::):)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dumraden:
I believe it's not just a matter of changing these files. I assume the information that SUS reads is in the zImage of the kernel.

Unfortunately I dont have a zImage from 0.62 atm, and my linux virtual machine is FUBAR'd :P

If anyone has a zImage from 0.62 sources at the moment and can try that we would be much obliged.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shprakash:
they have update in the web page of sony Xperia mini..

but still.... check this out.........

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/phones/xperia-mini/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jls95:
thats great news!!!!!

Edit: just tried to check for updates for my mini and the servers are down.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] manjeet15:
for all the users who say thing like wait..sony is said end may & early june to provide updates.. to me & many users who are just tired for waiting updates

here is a best answer from a user (REDDUY) in SONY forums, have a look,

Rest hopefully today we get some SI for our XMP..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Here is mini pro:

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/phones/xperia-mini-pro/

But there are no mor si numbers added:

http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/38383

And PCC doesn't find any update.

EDIT:: Sony Ericsson Update Service doesn't find any update too, but normaly there was a reinstall button, when i have the latest software. But now there isn't any reinstall button, only quit and theres no newer software for my device.

ICS is near, i can smell it ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shprakash:
try again n ull see the ur phone is up to date n latest software.......

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------

gud.............
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zildcrab:
So I have a question, not sure if anybody asked this already...

I'm not very optimistic about ICS being released for my provider/country, I don't really care about it since I never use branded firmwares that are full of cr@p.

My question is if anybody knows if these updates will be available also through wontanclient. That way I don't have to wait until it is released specifically for my country and I can install any other version that works fine with SK17a

thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] junghyun01:
Tired of waiting ==
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Ok guys bad news:

I chatted with sony ericsson support; but you'll see:

That means in English:

Ok guys we'll have to wait!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prateek_gemini:
Where do u chat with them ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
German contact site. You can see here

But this is bad news.

EDIT:: In India the chat isn't available, but in United Kingdom here and USA here
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dumraden:
Yes the link you gave does show some information regarding ICS on the mini series but...

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/upgrade-to-android-4/

Check at the bottom of the page, it shows only 3 devices. The ones that are currently upgradeable...

So until that list is updated with the mini's I dont suppose we will get any official support.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Till-Kruspe:
Danke fur das info... :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nit3wolf:
These files are important, since we can fool PCC/SUS by changing them. It is something that get info from them, and it is the thinking line we have to follow, IMO.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shprakash:
jus now i had chat wit uk support but.. check it out....

hari: need info about ISC update..

hari: sorry ICS update

Hayley: More info on the roll out can be viewed here - http://blogs.sonymobile.com/product...software-upgrade-for-2011-xperia-smartphones/

hari: any idea about release date for xperia mini?

hari: sorry for asking such question. we in india so eager to see the update here so only asking..

Hayley: You will need to refer to the site above, we are UK support so we only have UK information.

Hayley: I would suggest contacting your local region support who will be able to help you further. You can find contact info here: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/contact-info/

hari: hmmmm sorry again.. thanks for the support.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dumraden:
Ok then if that is the case, can you please explain why SUS still finds my phone "outdated" even though i have changed build.prop and default.prop to read 0.62?

I believe the only thing that actually changes by modifying these files is the SI numbers, since its a lower level variable than the SW version.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nit3wolf:
That's odd, bro. Build.prop edition always worked for me and for many other members. You are a pro user and please don't get offended with my question, but are you sure you edited it right?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dumraden:
Here is a copy of my build.prop

I cannot find anything wrong with it, so please give it a quick look and tell me if you see anything wrong.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prateek_gemini:
more SI nos. of Neo updated ....

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SharpnShiny:
So...SUS is downloading new firmware for my Mini. I''m currently using the ported version of ICS, unofficial. Is it really just getting Ginger. .62 again? Really?

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

Yes my Mini site said the same....it downloaded new software, yet I have .62 already. Now it says 'cannot install or start phone software components'. This is on PCC but SUS says I have the latest software.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] UchihaDareNial:
'Xperia™ mini pro

Wew,what does it mean 3rd party application not compatible? :o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] madhouses:
Just may happen there some app not be compatible.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ronaldvalles:
Which means that tomorrow is the big day for our phone, that happiness could not wait any longer.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] boyq:
You will lose root. ICS for Xperia 2011 devices can be rooted using Doomlord's rooting toolkit.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
What about cwm recovery?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Also lost.

Oh and to the people talking about certification: Who gives a damn about that certification? We want ICS, not certification, right?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] manilu001:
so when can we update
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Just be patient and wait for the update to be released.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Because it is already...?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] afud:
I am live in Indonesia ,does sony release in worldwide or i have to wait depends on mobile operator.?

I want everything's clearly

I'll be happy if someone who work in Sony corp also xda member so can explain about it

Big hope to developer.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Release date varies with region and carrier. Some regions and carriers get the update earlier, some later. We don't know yet, which region gets first.

Some carriers let the update earlier than other ones, we do not have info about that at all. You will just have to wait until the update will be available, use PC Companion to check it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
I actually like that this isn't coming to Play.

Don't attack me just yet!

I like that their reasons are because the Play wouldn't benefit from it. That says to me that Sony have actually put some thought into this and it isn't just a lazy upgrade.

Now if we could just get CWM on the new stock ROM, I'll be happy!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nit3wolf:
Not that we give a **** 'bout certification, but many people reported, newer fw were released after a certification on that site. So we were wondering if with ics it would be different.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
CWM? Custom kernel and you got it.

Any other way - It is just a matter of time...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AlvinZahran98:
:confused:

I'm really confused, is there the update for Xperia mini pro will be 4.0.3 or 4.0.4? :confused::confused:

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

actually it depends of the phone's kits...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
4.0.4 will come.

What phone's kits you mean?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ZsDaniel:
According to this it will be 4.0.4:

Here you can check if the update is available for your SI number: http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/178141
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nit3wolf:
Talking bout SI numbers...

Within GB, SEUS and PCC reads build.prop to get the customization number in order to download and flash a firmware. Will it will check for SI instead of CDA for ics flashing?

I am worried because I gained a branded phone from my provider, and if its true we will get our ICS over SI number, I will have my phone rebranded.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ChavitoArg:
It it so hard to be polite? Dont be so ironical everytime men. If you change the title people will not create more posts about ics, all questions and stuff can be answered here, is an advice not an order.

Just add [official ics discussion thread]
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ChavitoArg:
@nit3wolf :

Pcc or seus reads build.prop, that SI number is because "you should have the same SI in your build.prop" because "you must have the same firmware when you buy the phone" i dont know if you understand me, english is really hard for me ^^
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
Ah, that's true. I hadn't even considered that.

Almost wish I hadn't now...I want my ICS right now!!

Sent from my U20i, SK17i, GT-P1010 or something else entirely.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
i want my ics right now too. again, just to fix my wifi problems. hopefully...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SharpnShiny:
Does anyone believe that Sony will stop using SUS? Just PCC? On the Mini site it says use PCC.

When I used testpoint on my Mini, PCC never worked again. Maybe I have to wait for a .ftf?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Been there already for few days, also it is there for Xperia Mini and Active and LWW.

It is not released yet, probably .62 update.

Also, if you had ported version, then you had unlocked bootloader and custom kernel, that's why the installation failed.

It means, that not all apps work with ICS. The app developers(aka 3rd party) will have to edit the applications, so it would work with ICS. If it is really important, that app has to work on ICS phone for you, then you need to take contact with the developer.

No, it doesn't mean that. There is nothing written about tomorrow.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dumraden:
People fail to click on the link where it says: "For more details visit our Android 4.0 page", and scroll to the bottom to see only 3 devices...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
The question is, is there already method to root ics 4.04??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
From my tutorial topic
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nit3wolf:
Its correct, afaik. Have you edited cust.prop too?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dumraden:
Cust.prop only mentions the SI. Nothing about the SW version or build...

Sen t from my ST17i using XDA
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shprakash:
if ur using custom kernel it does says cannot install. so better use everything stock.

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------

no u can use both,even i ve used testpoint method n its working with both SUS n PCC, but PCC is best to use for 1st time update.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ARNOB:
So, ICS is not backward compatible. GB apps won't work?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shprakash:
not all apps only few works few doesn't...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] puppet13th:
I have rooted Arc S ICS 4.0.4 using alternate method. It's more likely to works on our upcoming ICS update.

Required ROOTED GINGERBREAD

Here the idea :

1. Before updating to ICS create file /data/local.prop :

ro.kernel.qemu=1

2. Update to ICS without factory reset

3. After 1st boot adb shell should gain root access

4. Push su binary and superuser.apk

5. Remove /data/local.prop

6. Reboot
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] boyq:
what's the purpose of that line?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] puppet13th:
That line will enable adb shell as root
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] UchihaDareNial:
Do you think Xperia Mini,Xperia Mini Pro,Xperia Active,and Live with Walkman can do this method to root if our phone got the update? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] puppet13th:
It should do.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
You can root this way too...

While flashing the ftf file when it come online, do not flash the kernel that comes along with it. Then, you will have 4.0.4 with your old kernel. You can use DoomLord's root kit for 4.0.3 on this now. After that, you can flash the kernel of the latest ftf, and you will have root as well as 4.0.4.

Thanks,

Rick
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] boyq:
But we don't have the stock 4.0.3 kernel. Have you tried to update from GB to ICS 4.0.4?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
but my plan is to do a factory reset before updating to ics so that my phone feels new and fresh when im on ics soon.

but i guess your method worked
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] puppet13th:
You can do factory reset after push su binary and superuser.apk

Don't forget to install nAa CWM recovery. :-D

I'm planning to create tool for rooting using this method.i will help users that doesn't have experience with adb shell.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] UchihaDareNial:
Oh yeah,do you know solution for fixing a broken adb?Before flashing a new stock firmware,I unlocked my phone bootloader in order to root using Superoneclick (I was noob at that time) and after root,my adb broken which no USB debugging mod notification come out and connect phone memory card appear,so I need to download an apps in market to manual FORCE my phone to connect my phone memory card to pc using usb cable...so,do you know what is the solution of this problem?The phone just normal charging when it is connected :) and again I'm gonna say it again that this problem disappear after flashing a new stock rom :o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
I read it somewhere. I think it worked for the Xperia Pro. What we can try, is to use the script for 4.0.3 on GB? And see if it gives any success? That way we can know if the root kit works on our current GB kernel. I will try sometime in two days and report back.

Thank You,

Rick
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] leosic:
will they work this weekends?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] boyq:

Rooting method for ICS 4.0.3 not working on GB or ICS 4.0.4
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Thanks for reporting. So we are currently left with the method you posted upstairs. Or we can wait for DoomLord to give some easier way? :D

Thanks,

Rick
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AndyRoid665:
That lazy!? :D

Sent from my Linux based awesomeness device, also known as WT19i
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] puppet13th:
it's look like that is the only way to gain root on ICS 4.0.4

we can't use Doomlord rooting method as we don't have ICS 4.0.3 kernel

maybe we can try [TUT] DIY Rooted 4.0.2.A.0.62 or newer LOCKED bootloader as well.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] boyq:
That seem to be a longer process. But i'll try that one now.

Also i hope you can make a tool for this:

4. Push su binary and superuser.apk​

Thank you :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
How about this...

1. We downgrade to .58 firmware (skip this step if you are already here)

2. We update using flashtool, and we do not install the kernel in the ftf.

So we have a working 4.0.4 ROM with the old kernel.

3. We use ZergRush exploit and root this system. SU files are now planted.

4. We then flash just the kernel of the 4.0.4 ftf using flashtool.

Will it work?

Thanks,

Rick
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] boyq:
Ok. That makes sense. Maybe those who have 4.0.4 might wanna try that one.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Yeah. :).

Btw. I do not think we will have the update before Monday. Someone upstairs pointed out that it may be two days off for Sony on the weekends.

So, its a good way to kill time, figuring out how to root once we get the update.

Thanks,

Rick

nice post @ sony forums...

http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/203787#203787
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dtb11288:
haha, very nice
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
But then at the end of the all these will not help a bit. As Sony (and the company solely) reseves all the rights to decide whether to provide us with the update or not. They can make promises but at the end of everything they have the terms and conditions according to which they can change their whole plans without any prior notice. Agreed it is unfair, but then, we can not do anything.

Only thing that's ensuring us that we will recieve the update is the fact that the company promised to us, and if they do not fulfill it, it will be a black spot on thier image.

The best and saddest example is the Xperia Play. But play users could not help it the least.

Thank You,

Rick
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] manjeet15:
no its not

there is a law in every country & in our country there is a law that if any company promise anything while selling its product & service and they dont fulfill it they had to return full amount of the product & this is apply to sony also

if any one file a legal case they must had to return play amount to ther user.

either they dont promise anything or they fulfill it that is sure!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] puppet13th:
it will surely not working.

1. we don't know if GB kernel capable to run ICS ROM

2. even if GB kernel runs on ICS,ICS ROM immune to zergrush exploit
