Thank you for the tutorial, you helped me...but i'm constantly getting this error: Erase operation complete, 1 bad blocks encountered...and after that it wont boot. I downloaded cyanogenmod 10 and extracted the boot.img and used that...I don't know what to do...I have xperia mini st15i and i have unlocked bootloader
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Looks like a hardware issue, so you have to take it to the service center or stay on stock rom, couldn't find a solution in any other thread :(

Dear mihahn,

Which which components of drivers I have to select ; Only Flashmode Drivers and Fastboot Drivers is it ok?

Please help. Regards,
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] predatOr:
Install both. It hardly takes a minute.

Flashmode- for flashing ftf

Fastboot- for flashing img files:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
I have installed all drivers for all modes/devices, just in case. I had much free space on my PC :p

Dear mihahn,

I have already installed the FXP202 CM10, maybe you can help me. I have two issues:

1- One is with the keyboard: very frecuently pop up or appears; "Unfortunately, Android Keyboard (AOSP) has stopped" ; in other words there is no digital keyboard in my MK16a.

Observation: When I installed the Rom all was working nice (with both keyboards working ok), but after installing the the Gapps for android 4.1.2 which number is 20121011 the problem with the keyboard started. I have installed several gapps with the same issue.

In the XDA forum appears to clear Data of the Android keyboard which I did with no results and also to clear data of the dictionary, but I do not find such dictionary in apps.

Many people has the same and I cant find the solution in the XDA forum.

2- The second problem is that I cant sign in my google play (market account).

Regards,
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
1. Flash the right gapps for 4.1.2 again and clear the data of the keyboard. If this won't work look around for the keyboard apk, there should be some on xda ;)

2. This could be related to the gapps, because you said "I have installed several ones". Flash the ones for 4.1.2 again and try it. I have no problems on FXP cm10 on my mango :good:

MK16a CM10

I have been working in this phone during all night, I have found the following:

1- The problem is with Google Play Store; in this forum there are a lot of people with the same problem and I have found that is an issue of google not the gapps itself.

2- In other words all is related to the gapps. And the changes I made to the phone, google store thinks that this is a hacked phone and that it is not my phone that was already register with them. I talked by phone with a google representative and is agree with me that it is a google issue. i have made all what as benn said in this forum to fix my problem even with a terminal emulator I tried to fix it.

3- I have installed the correct gapps for Jb with no results

4- The Kernel and the Rom are excellent, the phone is fast, very clear to talk and I do not have any issue with the kernel or with the Rom.

5- The gapps installed were downloaded from this site: http://goo.im/gapps/

6- I had all my apps backed up in SD card with titanium back up. So I downladed from other source (not google play) a barcode and downloaded a titanium app(the free) because mine the pro cant be activated because I cant get inside google play.

7- so, I have all the apps running ok, the phone is ok, the kernel ok, the Rom ok. The only problem now is that google do not permit me and hundreds of users to access the market.

8- In view that I do not need any more google play and that all my apps works ok including the K9 mail (which is ok too), I will leave the phone as it is now: working excellent and without google play and without the famous gapps.

9- Maybe in the future google fix their problem. By the way, I can access my google acct with my notebook but not with the phone.

10- without gapps the keyboard (digital) works perfect. and also the other keyboard.

11- I have also found that this problem with google will happen even if I change my phone for other. The only fix is open a new google account.

I appreciate all your help and now I have Cyanogenmod FXP202. I do not need any more google play. With my next phone I will open a new account if I need it. Also I made nandroid restore and the same problem occured. For the aforementioned I will stay and continue with cyanogenmod from now on. Thank you again for all your help during this process to install cm10 202 fxp in my SE Xperia pro MK16a Iyoka CM10 (which is excellent, and prefer not to have google play and have cm10).:laugh:

Dear Mihahn,

Your guides have been incredibly useful for me. I've got several questions to ask.

First of all, My device is Xperia mini St15i

-GB build 4.0.2.A.0.62

-Rooted, BL Locked, CWM installed (Xparts)

So, the question is

1. Is it possible for me to use CM10 rom?

2. Do i need to unlock my bootloader first?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mnishamk:
For cyanogen, u need unlocked bootloader. If u are open to alternatives and don't want to unlock bootloader go to dev section and find a rom that says locked bootloader too. And install it like this.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lerijiso:
I will unlock my bootloader soon. So if i install a JB based rom..that means i am using Jelly bean?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] TheCloneGamer:
Yes u will be using JB:D

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Sorry, but I don't get that! You should try to charge your phone first with a wall charger. If that won't work, try to flash another kernel (e.g rage kernel, kernel panic, etc), but I guess it won't work, because your battery is empty :(

The best way would be to get a battery from a friend's phone or to buy a new one and use that :good:

It will only boot into cwm using the in-app Xparts option "reboot to recovery"..only then the continuous vol down pressing works.

So, im holding off installing custom roms until i can figure this out. Any idea guys?:(

So..I have to flash gb kernel before I restore my gb back up?

Pardon my noobness :) its my first time.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mnishamk:
I understand it like this as I am from windows (now linux tho) for all intends and purposes flash just means the Sam as install. We installin windows but flash in android:D(anyway thats my belief)

Actually I think theres a history behind it as the first writings(install/flash) were done using uv rays. So maybe thats why the nam:p

And yes same version of kernel and Rom (gb for gb) is needed to avoid bootloop and run it properly

Ok..i hope we are on the same page. To clarify, when is say restore from CWM im talking about Nandroid restore.

Im confused now.

First of all, please update your flashtool version. The screenshots look very old! Use the latest or even one of the latest versions please :good:
