Hi, & many thanks for the rich thred,

1st i want to say that i'm new with android in genral,

cause i'm blind & i was waiting for more accessibility in it to be able to use it & help with my mates

on the same matter of accessibility,

sence inglish is not my mother lang.

& i was all over the site for the last 4 days looking for a simpile but accesseble way to root / flash a custom kernel & rom,

and got good knolige

for a new user like me,

and i have a q didn't found an answer for.

my device is a new XMP SK17I with ICS 4.1.B.0.431

If i flashed the kernal with a custom one

do i still have to flash the rom with a custom rom also??

and if it is. is it ok to flash a custom rom over the ICS stock not rooted yet??

& wich kernel/rom are the best for the use of a blind since we don't need most of the visual effects / games,

but the screenreaders/tts we are using

always need more ram andCPU resorces for bettre responce and priformence.

so pleas tell me how to do the steps after Ive unlocked the BootLoader to root my system.

thanks again.

best reguards...

I update ICS 4.0.4 on my android and since than i'm wondering how do I downgrade to GB. I did nearly every possible tricks to make my Xperia Mini Pro Sk17i ICS work efficiently, but I didn't got any success. I am tired and I just want downgrade. Sony service center is little far my residence and I have only Sunday off.

I'm very busy girl, i wasted my time in various online methods of downgrading but they all are not worked out for me. Now I'm stuck with ICS.

If you are a heavy user, specially gaming and stick to GB if have Xperia Mini Pro...

Go to the wotan server website

http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/se/xperia-mini-pro-sk17/unlock-tool/debranding-flash

And find your model for your phone and this will give you the firmware for your country . Find the Gingerbread firmware you want and follow the very easy way to install it onto your phone

It will cost you 1.99 but is well worth it. Worked on mine flawlessly!

Someting wrong with the ftf files given for sk17i.....

I tried to download the ftf but the 157+ mb file just stopped at 94.something....Then nothing.. The winrar says the compressed doc is broken.

Is the file really broken? Can i have any alternate links to download the ftf......

I really need to downgrade ICS on mini pro, so that i can root it....:confused:

Hi,

I'm following your directions, but on the flashtool program the FTF file does not show up on the left list. I've tried two different computers and I've tried moving the target directory, it' like it's just no there. What could be wrong?

hmm, sorry, tried to find the answer, but it's just too many pages... @_@

we have similar problems... using DoomLord, but then no superuser app appearing, and on next step we have rooted device not found on next step.

any solution? or just "try step II till it works"?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] alkithilien:
Actually, I have similar problem! I just should have Chinese (Taiwanese) keyboard. The touch keyboard is fine, but the physical one has the characters messed up. You press comma but don't get a comma... can't figure how to use the Taiwanese alphabet (zhuyin, or bopomofo) on it...

Any solutions?

2.When I go to thread to download Doomlord's kit there are 4 versions v1,2,3,4... which one should i download??

3.Will my bootlooader be unlocked....if no then could i flash custom kernels and roms on an unlocked bootloader?

4.Can I use cwm recovery after rooting by this method?

1. You can take the version you want, .42 or .58. But not .62/69, because this is unrootable.

2. Take the latest, which is version 4. But you could root with flashtool, too. Just check out my signature.

3. No it won't be automaticly unlocked, you will have to do it by yourself. If you want to flash a custom kernel you need to unlock it. Maybe look in my signature for a guide :)

4. Yes you can

5. Yes you can, but for that you could also use my rooting guide for that, it's step by step, too. But this guide by DragonClawsAreSharp is great ;)

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

If the toolkit doesn't work, root with flashtool and go on here. For that look in my signature for the rooting guide ;)

Did you try this method here, too, but instead of flashing .431 you flash .587?

Downgrade problem with Xperia Play

After I try downgrading my Xperia Play R800i to the firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42 that I downloaded from the link in this post, from 4.0.2.A.0.69, I'm still with .69 although the Flashtool wiped the user data and gave no errors. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] adin234:
do you have an unlocked bootloader? coz if not, try this

1. downgrade to a firmware <.62

2. root the device

3. 01 prepare (open loophole for pushing)

4. USE SEUS TO UPGRADE TO ICS ( because i also had lags when i tried the firmware uploaded here, and when i used SEUS, i didn't have any lags anymore )

5. 02-push-root-files

ISSUE!!!!!!

One of my friend has Sony xperia Live With Walkman WT19i..

He recently upgraded the ROM to ICS but felt it was little slow so again downgraded to GB 2.3.4.. Both done at authorized Sony Centers..

Now he also has unlocked the bootloader.. His Build number is 4.0.2.A.0.62 and Android version is 2.3.4.. Now he wants to root the phone and install custom ROM.. How to do this? I searched a lot on xda and also googled a lot for this but couldn't find the rooting guide for the combination of build number and the android version..

Anyone knows how to do this? :crying::crying:

Install all the drivers from flashtool even if your device isn't marked there. Just install all.

And install pc companion, which brings drivers with it...

Should work after These steps :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zukster:
Edit: We're talking about the Xperia Ray here.

Did anyone ever answer this? It seems like a pretty relevant questions as many people in North America/Canada will have the ST18a model, but all the ROMs/firmwares instructions always specify the ST18i model.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sakirak:
the downgrade, when I click the back button nothing happens, I have a mini pro
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
On mini pro you have to press the volume down button while it's turned off and hold it while pluggin in usb to pc to enter flashmode. The green led will light up and flashing will start automaticly. But never ever disconnect while flashing, wait till it's finished and tells you to disconnect! ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pikpok:
I assume you're talking about entering Flashmode in FlashTool. If so, press and hold Volume- (lower) when you plug USB cable. Back key is working for phones with hardware buttons (Arc, Neo, X10 etc.).

I'll need at least an english supported version, but would prefer Dutch..

3. Download the XperiaRoot.rev3 from here.

Extract the files somewhere.

Connect the device to the computer, and run the file "01-local-prop".

4. USE Sony Ericson PC Companion to upgrade to ICS, just plug your phone to your pc and PC Companion will look for updates, just follow the instructions there

5. From the Xperia-ROOT.rev3.zip file you downloaded earlier in step 3, open the file 02-push-root-files.cmd.

and then after root i going to unlock bootloader can or not ?

Or want to unlock first then root ?

Sorry for the noob question , just make sure of this :p

Okok, but I want to try out the custom ROM like cm10 or what

So do I needed to root ? or go straight for unlock bootloader ? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Downgrade on gingerbread. Just head over to unlocking bootloader. Unlock it (maybe like in my guide...) and flash a prerooted kernel like rage kernel, so your phone is rooted after that automaticly and cwm is built in.

Then you boot in cwm, make a backup of your current rom and after that you install the installation zip (before format/wipe all what's required) ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nerozx2:
Thanks for the tips :laugh:

But just now i rooted my XMP,

so what's now ? go straight for the unlock ? :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Yes go to unlock, but remember it voids warranty! If you don't know how look in my bootloader unlocking tutorial ;)

Afterwards, if it is successfully unlocked you can flash roms like cm10 ;)

It's just a command in cmd. If you type cd .. it will bring you one folder up, if you type cd test it will open the folder test and if you type dir it tells you the content of the folder your are currently in :)

When I tried updating via PC Companion, it is the same like OTA, only my baseband increases to 0.62 but I am still on GB. So I downgraded again to 0.58 and root again, and when i tried to download the ICS ftf for WT19i, it comes in .7z format and not in .ftf format, so i screwed the WT19i again since i run the 01-local-prop command already, and i didn't flash the ICS update. I ended up bricking the phone again, but thanks to Mihahn and all you guys i ressurected the phone again. Now the phone's status is on rooted 0.58 GB... i am until step 2. I dont want to give up. I hope u guys can help.me out. Should I google for the ICS ftf for WT19i? Or should I just change the file extension that i downloaded from .7z to .ftf?? Or do u guys have another download link to the ICS .ftf file for WT19i?? Thanks so much guys for helping me. Thanks!

Don't only change the 7z to ftf, extract it using for example 7zip. 7z is an archive!
