[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysGhost:
I'm using batteries from my old Sony Ericsson P1 phone in my X10i, with a very simple adapter I've made out of a piece of plastic and an exacto knife.

The P1 batteries (BST-40) are smaller, thus less capacity. But same voltage range (Which is very common for lithium polymer batteries overall)

BEWARE: Since the BST-40 is smaller, the battery can be flipped, and with that having the terminals inverted. That might cause damage to both the device and the battery.

Make sure the terminals (plus and minus) are aligned properly, before inserting the smaller battery.

It works fine.

It charges as intended (a little faster, due to less capacity, which is completely normal)

I've been using these BST-40 batteries (I got two of em) in my X10i for quite some time now. But I am only using them as a backup solution whenever the ordinary BST-41 runs out of juice and I can't charge where I am.

One thing to take into mind if one decides to use different batteries in an Android phone:

Make sure to reset the battery stats after switching battery.

I have noticed the Android OS can get confused and show a somewhat incorrect battery percentage, specially if switching between batteries with different capacity. But nothing other than that.

And of course:

Never EVER use different battery chemistry with different devices/chargers.

If the device uses a lithium polymer battery (a.k.a: LiPo and Li-polymer), make sure the replacement battery are the same.

Also make sure the battery manufacturer is a well known one. The danger in batteries are bad manufacturers cheating with the safety circuits inside the battery and/or cheating with the chemical makeup)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devin-J:
problem solved. thanks 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. :)

phew! what a relief realising that it is not explosive.

I found that it charged when the tablet off or in sleep mode. It's normal??? What can I do to solve this problem??
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
ah, ( light bulb goes on inside head ) your power is 220 volts, 50 cycles. you "really" need to use the wall charger to get the 1.9 amps of current. the stock b&n charger module says it will take your 220 volts, 50 cycles ? ? so a plug adapter will allow you to get great charging current ? yes ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gorelow:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tlf55:
I search about the belgian FTF of Gingerbread 2.3.4 .62 and i can't find a link to download it :/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Firstly, head over to (here) and hit thanks to puppet's thread. Also hit thanks to any of his other post. Two thanks for him per every thank to me. :)

I. Downgrade:

Since rooting directly in 4.0.4 is not possible, one needs to downgrade to a rootable GB ROM to root. (Skip this step if you are already in GB).

To Downgrade, you need to flash an old GB ROM ftf to your device.

Download ftfs from here:

Thanks to someguyfromhell

.

Then use flashtool to flash the ROM, as described in the images below.

II. Root the GB ROM:

(Skip this step if you are already in Rooted GB)

Download the DoomLord's Easy Root Toolkit for Xperia Gingerbreade >= .58 from here.

Extract the files somewhere.

Connect the device to the computer, and run the file "runme".

Follow onscreen instructions.

When done, device will reboot, and you should see application called SuperUser in your app drawer.

III. Preparations to root 4.0.4 ROM:

Download the XperiaRoot.rev3 from here.

Extract the files somewhere.

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

Follow on screen instructions.

When done, /data/local.prop should be edited as desired.

Here, do not do anything on cell and directly proceed to Flashing the 4.0.4 ftf.

IV. Flash 4.0.4 ROM:

***See Note below

Download the ftf from the following links:

Proceed as you did in downgrading, placing the 4.0.4 firmware in /firmware folder this time; and selecting it in step 4.

In step 4, make the check boxes look like this.

Proceed with the flashing Process.

Here, you can also use PC Companion or Sony Update Center if you want for updating. While updating with SUS, make you sure you perform the recommended install and do not wipe data.

Once the flashing is done, turn ON the device (If using PCC or SUS you will be prompted to turn ON). During the first boot, the device might reboot. In that case, after second boot it will turn on normally.

In case it gets into bootloop, proceed to next step right away.

Else proceed to next step with your phone turned ON.

V. Root 4.0.4 ROM:

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

Follow the on-screen instructions.

Device will reboot.

Once re-boot is done, you will have SuperUser installed in the 4.0.4 ROM.

***

Note: Using this method, you can also root .62 GB firmware. For this, just flash the .62 ROM in place of 4.0.4 ROM, in step IV.

Thanks,

Rick.

Hit Thanks if this post helped you in anyway.

Edit: nevermind...I have checked my data/local.prop and it is the same before I use the local.prop.cmd thing...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
Just one question, since I still haven't got it clear: when you say "remove local.prop" you mean i have to remove the whole file or just edit it and delete "ro.kernel.qemu=1" line?

Loosing warranty

I have a Xperia Mini Pro, but there is not an update for ICS in my country available yet. Do I have to wait for it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
yeah i dont understand that part too.

what part do we need to remove exactly? and where does it located?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] puppet13th:
Great tutorial bro,i will add link to this thread on my thread. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
After puppet updated his script to v3, the file is removed automatically.

In case you had rooted using the earlier versions, then you need to remove the file from \data.

Else, if you used v3, you need not.

(Android OS builds this file automatically if it is not available)

Rick.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kareemgonna:
I rooted my mini pro without downgrading but mine is with an unlocked bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
No. You need not. If you follow according to this thread, you will get the ROM along with root, without waiting for Sony to release it.

Note: Your warranty might get void in carrying out these steps.

Rick

Who said you will void your warranty? :O

Anyway, I suppose that if you take the phone to SE Centre and they find out you have installed, for example, a generic firmware, they could tell you that you voided your warranty. Maybe. Dunno :D

Yes, use PC companioN and repair your phone. It will flash the stock ROM removing root files :-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Make sure there is no application like flashtool running on the back ground. Make sure you have the adb drivers properly installed. For that you need to install the PC Companion on your PC.

Yup. You are correct. :D

Titanium Backup pro does not remove bloatware in my case on sk17i, but root uninstaller does.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
The link, that was posted there, is an app, that removes the old stock app and replaces it with the new one from user apps, that is /data folder.

Titanium Backup includes this feature also. Look for an app, that has (updated) at the end of the name. Tap for few seconds on the app name, menu will appear. Use 'Integrate update into ROM' option, it does the same - removes old stock app and replaces it with the new one from /data.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:

I posted together with someguyfromhell :p

How to unroot if i root my lww with this method?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] android addicts:
Install chainfire "SuperSU" and tap "Full unroot". But if you need to unroot use only "SuperSU" otherwise there is root granting issue.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
@androidaddicts:

You need to install the adb drivers of your phone on your PC. For that, you will have to download the latest version of PC Companion and install it. Do it. Restart your computer. And try again. It should work then.

And also make sure there isn't any app like flashtool which uses adb bridge running in the background.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rumat:
I'm having a problem with the "02-push-root-files.cmd" file. After running it nothing happens. It just says "daemon started successfully" and it won't do anything.

After installing ICS it seems that my device isn't recognized when in USB debug mode anymore!

I've already reinstalled all the drivers, pccompanion, restarted pc, tested in different usb ports and still nothing.

Did the update first from a .62 GB rooted rom, and after from a .52, the results were the same! After updating to ICS my device no longer shows in Debug Mode.

Tested with adb devices in command line and in GB my device appears but in ICS it won't show nothing.

(Unknown sources are on)

My phone is a SE Live With Walkman with blocked Bootloader.

Any tips on how to figure this out?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] puppet13th:
The last line should be :

Check device manager on pc.

If you have flashtool, go to drivers folder and install the driver.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rumat:
Thanks for your help but I've already went to the device manager uninstalled the driver and installed again and still no success. Same with the drivers in flashtool folder.

It say's:

And then nothing happens... I think my device for some reason is not being recognized in USB debug mode after the update to ICS and therefore i can't run the "02-push-root-files.cmd" file...

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Take the following steps. It seems that adb drivers are not installed properly.

Disconnect your phone from the computer.

Uninstall PCC from your computer.

Reinstall it and restart your computer.

Then when you connect your phone to the computer, a message will pop up saying that your device has been detected, and a series of new drivers should be installed.

In case it doesn't happen, try uninstalling the adb drivers and then connecting your device to the computer.

Windows 7. Just tested in a "clean" computer (XP). And same thing! My device isn't recognized in USB debug mode in ICS.

Just downgraded to GB (Life without root just isn't the same... :p). Used the same method to root .62 and all went fine...

Thank you!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
ICS has got different set of drivers. After an installation of ICS normally by PCC, as soon as the phone is re-booted and connected, a new set of drivers are installed.

In case you are running Windows 7, it should happen automatically.

So, I will ask you to make sure you have the latest version of PCC is installed. Also, to be more sure, intall SUS as well.

I did a clean install of almost everything, rebooted pc, etc. I thought that maybe the drivers were in conflict or something like that and did a clean install of everything. But the result was the same.

With windows XP it was all new, never plugged my phone in that pc and all was downloaded again and installed new since it was not my pc. And I didn't even installed the driver with GB on, only did the part with ICS. The result was the same.

Don't really know why it doesn't recognize my device in ICS...

Tomorrow I'll try again in a different computer... And tell you how it went.
