In flashtool select 4.1.B.0.587 ftf. (there is no only kernel ftf, select the downloaded one)

Select (mark) exclude Fota, system and baseband, (dont thick the kernel on flash tool)...

Select 'No final verification'

DE-SELECT wipe data, cache and apps log.

(Just flash the kernel not the entire rom)

Click OK and follow instructions (power off phone, press volume down button and plug the usb).

This way you can flash .587 kernel back.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] r6680jc:
OP doesn't ask how to get original kernel back as he didn't flash any custom kernel yet.

And by assuming OP wants to unlock the bootloader, it's simplier and easier to hotboot (not to flash) cwm recovery image or any compatible kernel that has cwm to use the cwm to install superuser.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Tryptikon:
Is it the best way to do it ? Are there any topics about it on the forum so I can read and test it ? Because I see many people are still messing around with Xperia Minis and have no succeeded yet to root their phone ;

I'm pretty new to the Android universe so I do not all the special terms yet so forgive me for saying that I do not know what is "Unlocking the Bootloader" exactly. I'd be glad to read a topic on this website about it if there's any to know what it is and what are the advantages/disadvantages.

Baseband Version :8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-72

Android Version : 4.0.4

Build Number : 4.1.B.0.431 (???????!!!!!!!!!!) :mad:

Kernel Version : 2.6.32.9-perf

Why is the build number .431 ?!!!! I was sure it is .587, Even I checked it last night. Is it because I was messing around with Flashboot ? Can flashboot change the buildnumber ?!!

First flash kernel .562

Rooting with doomlord (thanks to him) for rooting tools.

Instal cwm with xparts (market)

Flash kernel back to .587.

Ics 4.0.4

I think it has the same steps for mini, arc, neo etc

Xperia mini instantly got ICS 4.0.4 build 431, and Latest update Build 587, so I think flash kernel of Xperia ray or other Xperia to Xperia Mini it could not be done for rooting your phone ;)

I recommended your phone Unlock Bootloader ;)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] r6680jc:
The latest update (build 587) isn't available for Xperia mini yet.

Your build number is .431 from the first you updated it, see your baseband version: 72, build .587 has baseband version 77.

build .587 isn't available for Xperia mini yet.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] r6680jc:
Unlock your bootloader, so you can root it easily.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] alone_in_dark:
Follow this guide.At step four, "IV. Flash 4.0.4 ROM: "- Flash the build 587 firmware. You'll get it here : http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239?start=0&tstart=0 All other stuffs are same.You can root by unlocking bootloader and flashing 562 kernel also : http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0 But it's a little bit risky because if you unlock your bootloader officially,you will lose your DRM keys and track id will never work again..

deleted htc framework file and phone doesnot start.

After rooted my htc One X. In the process of removing at&t crap ware I accidentally deleted something that said htc frame work.

From then on my phone would not start. I unlocked my phone as well. How ever I didnot have any custom ROM installed or didnot have any back up done.

When I tried to reboot my phone after deleting the htc frame work file, it would not start. HTC icon would show up and it would not go further.

These are the things I did.

1. I flashed CWM.

2.I flashed TWRP.

3.I finally flashed CWM. 5.8.3

Then I went to fastboot mode and

removed Dalvik Cache, Erased the sd card

and tried to 'mount usb storage' but it would say

"unable to open ums lunfile(no such file or directory)SD card space free:10169MB"

My phone though shows as a removable disk , when i click on the icon it would say " Please insert disk into removable disk." I tried to save a custom ROM on my memory card and flash it but my system doesnot detect my phone.

Can some one please help me?

Thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
HTC Framework is part of the OS. You deleted part of the OS.

Install TWRP and mount USB, then load a custom ROM or one of the rooted stock ROMs in the Development forum.

Alternately, relock the bootloader and run the RUU.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Lock bootloader run ruu start over. Next time the very first thing you do is make a nandroid back up.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] in00b:
Thanks for the quick reply.

When I tried to mount my phone as usb it would not. I mentioned that as well.

briefmobile (dot) com/download-att-htc-one-x-stock-ruu

i found this link online. Without installing a custom ROM and run RUU , do you think my phone works

Adding a note to it. my phone is s-on and did not have android sdk installed on my machine. i tried all this using fastboot files and twrp img.

Thank You
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
You mentioned you tried to mount USB using fastboot (I've never mounted USB using fastboot, so I can't comment on that). Try mounting USB within TWRP, and see if that works. FYI, the USB mount feature in CWM does not work, and CWM does not really support our device, and has major issues. That's why its strongly recommended you use TWRP and not CWM.

Website seems to be too busy now. As long as its not 2.20, it should be okay. Normally, I would caution against randomly searching around the internet for things and flashing them, and instead getting them here instead. But briefmobile is Kenneth Penn's website, and he is a known developer on XDA.

You deleted part of the OS, so I'd say no. It doesn't boot does it? Then it doesn't work.

Also, please click "Thanks" to the post that help you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] in00b:
the link you sent really helps. i flashed twrp then cwm then twrp. does it matter somehow flashing these things multiple times?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
No, you can only have one recovery. Flash one, you overwrite whatever you had before.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
I'd stay away from CWM. I know it used to cause problems, but I don't know if it does anymore.

Most everybody here (in the One XL forums) prefer TWRP anyways.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] in00b:
Thanks for you time everybody.

This is what I did last night.

Downloaded a RUU from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671237

and put my phone in the fastboot usb mode and ran RUU.

After a while my phone would have a blank screen with glowing "htc" logo on it, as shown in the RUU utility.

Nothing happens and my phone is still in the state of brick.

Thank You
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
Did you lock your bootloader before running the RUU?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] in00b:
nope my phone was boot loader unlocked and s-on.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
You must relock your bootloader temporarily or the RUU will fail. As long as you have your unlock token you can re-unlock once you RUU.

When you are in fastboot, type "fastboot oem lock"

Once it's locked, run the RUU.

Once that is done, re-unlock by flashing the token.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] in00b:
thanks i will try unlocking my phone and get back to you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
Go in to bootloader. You already said you were able to do that. Hold down the volume key when you boot your phone, go into bootloader, run the fastboot command.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] qwertyaas:
Gunny stated that BL had to be locked at the start of the thread. Does anyone ever read anymore? I mean, seriously....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
This is like the 3rd or 4th thread in the past couple weeks that Gunny or redpoint has told the OP to relock and RUU but they said it wasn't working still. And then I've come in and said they have to relock and the OP hadn't done it yet. So no, apparently people don't read lol.

But in almost every thread things have to be said 2-3 times which is ridiculous
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] in00b:
I cannot tell you how great ful Iam to the entire Android community . Thank you very much. problem solved.

This is what I did.

Went into fast boot.

typed fastboot

and typed fastboot oem lock -- to lock the phone.

Then I downloaded a RUU utility and ran it. My phone works superfine now.

Again. Thank You- All I can say.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:

Now i rooted my phone again.

I want to install custom ROM's.

How do I unlock my boot loader again?

Do I have to unlock my boot loader to flash custom ROM's?

My software information is

android version : 4.0.3

htc sdk level : 4.11

software number : 1.73.502.1 710RD

Thank You
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Type "adb reboot bootloader"

You then should be able to go to adb and type "fastboot getvar cid" or "fastboot oem cid" and if it says 1111111, I think you can just unlock by typing "fastboot oem unlock", I doubt this will work. If not read below

if you CID says 1111111, just type "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" then go to www.htcdev.com and click "all other support models" and follow the steps
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
you might have to get into bootloader manually for the token to stick. volume down + power.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ptesmoke:
I suggest after deleting framework and taking a Coons age to read and understand what 5 different people were instructing you to do, and still failing at recovering a minor soft brick, that you sit back and READ about how all this works, from root, to super Cid, to unlocked bootloader, to how and why you need to read read and read again. It's easy stuff but if you don't understand Wtf your doing... Your asking for it man...

Just educate yourself... Best advice I can give.

v2 --> Status bar with 14 toogles and brightness bar + 1% battery mod

Install instructions:

put QuickPanelSettings.apk and SystemUI.apk to /system folder and change permission to 644 (rw-r--r--) on all of them. Then move QuickPanelSettings.apk and SystemUI.apk to /system/app folder. Once you have finished reboot the phone and enjoy in this mod :)

Note: it works for locked and unlocked bootloader devices. You only need to have ROOT access! Testing was performed on 544 Xperia P ICS ROM.

That is done by going to places and checking in with your phone.

If you are the first one to check in to a certain place, that territory is yours.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] noingwhat:
Haha, I like that explanation a lot better. I was looking at it from an iFan's POV I guess, thinking about how the same commercial shows lack of creativity = copying apple.

Which leads me to the question, if apple's supposed to be all about innovation, creativity, and new ideas, what's up with republishing the same device every year with only like three new features?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
Dude, if you had the following that Apple does, that is all they need to release to get most of the people to upgrade. Their stock went thru the roof due to this phone coming out on Friday. Besides, only including a couple of features make it easy on them. I would be willing to bet my last dollar that there is an iPhone 6 already being tested with a few new features.

I wouldn't have one of their iPhones personally, but, I do own a MacBook Pro. It is a great machine but still overpriced IMHO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikec86:
Seems to me Apple spent very little time with their development team and too much time with their Lawyers teams.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Heck yeah, I am sure there is already an iPhone 6 with NFC and simultaneous voice and LTE on Sprint and Verizon. Apple does not need to do anything for the next year except collect money from the puppets and watch to see what other great things Android will come up with to put in the iPhone 6s.

Also, the reason no one can sue Apple and win is because then the jury and judges won't be able to buy their own iPhone 5 and why would they want to ruin their own lives like that.

I actually think Apple was really nice to their customers this time around. They could have sold millions of iPhones with only adding the new super thunder and lightning digital cable and the super mini sim card. Look at all the other features they threw in on top of that. You go on with your bad self Apple!

iPhone owners are some lucky SOB's! They can even see 5 days in their calendar app now. If that was me I would have saved that feature for the iPhone 6. Apple is way to nice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nullnix:
Hah! They got the whole 4 inches of Apple's... generosity.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
I am reading articles of how innacurate Apple's mapping program is, but they say it does look pretty.

Isn't that what Apple is all about, making things pretty but keeping them dumb?

Plus, isn't pretty and dumb something every guy wants in a phone? Now we know why Apple is so succesfully! They have found the key to success. Make a phone like a typical guy wants his women. lol

And then why do the women buy the phone, well becuase they can relate. haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Roland_D:
It's not sad, It's genius... It can be red at so many levels it's not even funny!

Another message you can read if you will is that Samsung focuses on improving their phones instead of focusing on making new commercials.....

It is not usually a good idea to recycle a commercial... there are some exceptions... this is one.
