So the reboot into recovery option doesn't work? Darn..but I'm really lazy! lol

Can't believe I finally have some ice-cream on my phone, that's really great. Now if the latest version of apktool came out in the next few minutes, this day will be perfect. :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
He's not the only one who can't properly install CWM... someone who managed to do that should create a clear tutorial.

@Ticklefish

Or did you manage to enter Recovery on boot?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ludhpraditto:
idk, but it just doesn't seem right to me. and i just kinda afraid that may be in sometime i really need the original regional firmware for something important, just maybe. but is it really nothing different beside the hw keyboard layout among these spesific regional firmware?

thanks. and sorry for too much asking.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Search the market for "Xperia CWM" and download CWM auto installer by PvyParts. You can install it easily after that. To get into CWM press the volume down button for a few times while the phone is booting and at the Sony Logo.

Thanks,

Rick

Hit Thanks if I helped you in anyway

No need to be sorry. :).

No. There's no reason due to whoch you might need the regional firmware of your region. They only MIGHT differ in keyboard layout, or in the preinstalled software.

Thanks,

Rick

This is my first time to do something like this. I have a wt19i with 4.0.4. Lets see how it goes :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
You are doing it for the first time? Then this might very well be the first time you are flashing a ROM.

Then, while flashing using flashtool, if it asks you to connect to the PC by holding the back button, you override this instruction and hold the volume down button instead of the back button. The rest of the process remeans the same.

Thanks,

Rick
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
Yup, that was it. With the Mini Pro, the LED will turn blue when you need to press the volume down button which is handy.

---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

I used the home button instead of the volume down button. But that may just be my particular phone or version of flashtool. If in doubt, just try every button one after the other.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kushsolitary:
Thanks for the info! I am still downloading all the required files and then I'll do it all. Very excited!

Question:

Can I use this ftf for my wt19i? Because the one you listed is for wt19a. The main difference between the two is that the one for wt19a is 190MB and the one for wt19i is 70MB so I am confused that which one should I use :S

Edit: I moved the wt19i ftf file in the firmwares/ folder but it doesn't show up :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
The ftf is not correct. It should be 300MB about. Try this link.

Just one very important point :

I have SK17i

I flash the ROM you give to downgrade phone and get possibility to root. But your ROM is English ROM. So with qwerty keyboard.

And after update in android 4.04 with SUS, i'm still in Qwerty, but i'm French, so i have Azerty keyboard.

I'm not you can give link for language version of ROM, but can be great to place an advertising in tutorial

thanks

I do again all step, but I will start with SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.58_FRENCH ROM, will be better

Hey guys,

Flash video doesn't play in browser after update and root Arc to 4.0.4.

How to fix it?

Thank you

P.s. Using stock browser. Adobe flash player installed from Market. Banners are flashing, but video doesn't play:mad:

One more think, can not delete some apps using Titanium Backup, for example Facebook

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mobilephone01:
Thank you fro your advise.

Now it's working.

Do I have to change any settings of BusyBox or don't need to touch anything?

and Another thing.

When I change the keybord. Only from setting?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Flash Player has some issues. I heard too. Search on Google and see if you get any leads. Also, try app like google chrome instead of stock browser.

Using Titanium BackUp, you can try to freeze the facebook app instead of uninstalling it. Also, you can try alternative apps like Link2SD.

Thanks,

Rick

No. You will have to downgrade and start from step 1. The 4.0.4 ROM is immune to any pushing method and kernel too is unrootable.

Thanks,

Rick

No. Nothing to do with BusyBox. Just let it remain installed.

And what about keyboard? Did not get what you were asking.

Thanks,

Rick
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] javierdsv:
Thank you, it worked.. But I don't know why you posted the .62 ftf's as they can't be rooted... I had to download it all again (.42) to be able to root it..

And the SK17a GB rom is full of garbage from Telcel, it was still present when flashed to ICS because of the required settings... not good and annoying, there is no .42 stock rom for that model? :S

I try and try!

And Doesn't Work!!!!

What's Happening??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
I just quoted all the older GB ftfs as uploaded by someguyfromhell.

And after you flash the ICS, do a Factory Reset from the phone settings. You will be left with only the apps that should come with ICS package. And then, you can remove all garbage using Titanium BackUp as you will have root at the end of following this tutorial.

Thanks,

Rick
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Make sure USB debugging is turned ON. And you are on a GB firmware that is rooted right?

Also ensure that you have the adb drivers installed. For that install PC Companion on your PC.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mobilephone01:
>>>And what about keyboard? Did not get what you were asking.

I'm installed few different type of keybord.

I have to back to setting panel and choose default keybord?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:

This is not a treal problem. I just did not know how to use ICS.

Thank you for your kindness.

When I was try to upgrade to ICS. Always lost the ADB Driver.

I could root GB but when I flash the ICS tft file. Windows could not find(

install) the ADB Driver.

Each time I installed driver from PCC(it will install ADB Driver) before do somethings.

How can I keep the driver or more easy way to install?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Perhaps you need to install the flashtool drivers. For that go to /drivers in the flashtool folder and install the exe there.

Are u sure that your phone was rooted?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
This may be related..

My SK17i is no longer recognised by ADB while in recovery. It was back on GB, but not now.

It's a bit annoying as most of my modding is done this way.

Any thoughts?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Open up cmd and type D:/..... adb devices.

Then daemon will start and it will shoe your device code.

Then do

D:/.... adb shell

If AI replies with a $, type su, and you will give adb root permission.

Then, I think you can use adb all right.

xperia x10 battery recycle safe or not? pla help :(

i am trying to use a smaller sized battery for my x10. i used a piece of cloth to support it to hold it in place in the battery holder. phone boots perfectly and everything works fine. but i am concerned about any potential explosion. pls read the specifications and tell me if my phone would explode.

i am using an SE aino (aka u10i) battery. it is my old java symbian40 phone.

its battery is 3.4v 1000mAh 5.4Wh while the original x10 battery is 3.4v 1500mAh 5.4Wh.

so pls tell me if this is a safe battery or explosivve battery? thanks and sorry for my bad english pls pls pls help. i dont want to die from exploding battery while charging.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
Firstly - all Li-Ion battery cells are rated 3,7V not 3,4V ;)

You can try using this battery,but be carefull to have connected all three golden pads properly - the middle one is output from thermistor, whichcontrolls temp ofthe battery.

There might not be any problem using it. It just have less capacity. Because all good branded batteries are equipped with special controll circuit which prevents battery for underdischarge, overcharge, limits current and monitors temperature.

Only one thing - always take your hand on your battery while charging. Everytime it must be cool or so warm, that you can hold your fingers long time on it (you must not burn yourself!!!).

And finally - yes battery may explode anytime in any phone with any charger. But to calm you - phone batteries are in hermetic housing made of plastic foil. This technology is much more safety (not e.g. as prismatic cells made of metal in notebooks) - if battery heats over, the plastic bag burst and inner gas wents out - this causes that electrolyte evaporates and energy source dies without any fire or huge explosion. Note that gas it toxic !!! So once burst properly ventilate your room. You can breathe a little of it without any harm.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoxx3m:
On X10i is 3.6V, not 3.7V! ;)

Sent from my "z10i" :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
Ok, you started :D

To be honest, you are also correct ;)

BUT :D :D :D

There are two standarts for Li-Ion and Li-Polymer batteries. Even both has same voltages you can measure directly on cells - 3,72 V when discharged and 4,22V when fully charged.

Batteries marked 3,7 or 3,6V are same if they are marked with same technology (li-ion or li-poly).

But in US, there is mostly used 3,7V standart marking (which defines standart discharge rate - 3,72V) and in EU is used 3,6V (which defines maximal discharge rate which is about 3,6V). Thats why you can see same batteries marked with 3,6/3,7V even they are same.

(Not talking about specialities like LiMnO2 and so on, because there are not usual in consumers electronics....)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoxx3m:
Yap, u r also correct, thanks for the info. ;)

Sent from my "z10i" :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devin-J:
prob solved. thx guys

there were two mistakes:

the new battery is 3.6Wh not 5.4Wh :)

i meant 3.6v for both batteries not 3.4v :)

--

i used my physics knowledge to solve it.

the experimental battery is 3.6v 1000mAh 3.6Wh

while the original x10 battery is 3.6v 1500mAh 5.4Wh

the 1500mAh battery has 1.5x the lasting power than 1000mAh battery.

So, the power of (x10:new) should be in the ratio (1.5:1.0)

this worked.

because (x10:new) is (5.4:3.6) which is simplifies to (1.5:1.0)

therefore, this new battery is a perfect fit with lesser lasting power.

THANKYOU FOR ALL YOUR INFORMATIVE INFORMATION. :)

Hi,

I need to a HttpWebRequest to send a Post/Get Request to a SSL secured web site. But, the SSL certificate is not one of the installed ones, so the phone cannot really connect to the server, and just throws a "not found"-exception. When I download the certificate, send it to my phone via email and install it, it works. No here is my question: how can I fix this, or circumvent the ms restrictions.

If you have an idea, please tell me...
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] damtrx_:
Issue a certificate from 3rd party authority and do not use self signed certificates.You can buy certificate from VerySign for example for your WebServer.

You can't use StartSSl free certificate because Root authority of the StartSSL servers is not installed in our devices.

Because VerySign certificates are very expensive you can try GeoTrust or RapidSSL
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] FlashTek95:
It is not possible to change the certificate because the server, to where i want to send the request is a wifi router, with a self signed ssl certificate...
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Ren13B:
There is no way to circumvent the cert check via code. The only thing you can do is to install the cert on the phone.
