Hi ruigui, I am Portuguese, but I am fluent in English as I daily work with this universal language, so please just answer in English as that is the official language of this forum.

As for your comments, I thought that would happen (it would just turn the mobile into PT Vodafone), so I will probably just wait for the generic Portuguese version, as my wife can better read the Spanish OS rather than the English one.

Regarding your question, I know that for Windows Mobile you can just install a CAB that will add a PTG Dictionary to your OS. I hope that Android has something similar :).
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ruigui:
Lets see if anyone who has generic uk deranded can ask our questions. Just try portuguese locale and t9 dictionary.

But if it doesn't work, i suppose we can backup some files before debranding. This is linux, so maybe it's possible to do that.

Looking forward to get my hands in one of these phones. Never saw it live, but it looks pretty cool.

PS: what we really need is portuguese debranded build.prop. Since we have here this phone debranded, i'll try to get some info and post back.

PS2: my english is a bit rusty, must practice more ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Johev:
Well my Xperia X10 mini pro has arrived, and I can tell you that you don't have to worry about the language and dictionary problems. It is not like WM, where you need to flash your language ROM. With this one, you just choose from all the available languages, and the phone changes automatically.

It came with a Android Spanish Vodafone. I just changed the language to PTG, and the only thing that now needs removing is all the Vodafone crap, even the PT T9 dictionary works perfectly.

As for debranding this, I have a question. I don't want to push a generic UK ROM into this one, I just want to remove all the Spanish Vodafone crap.

Is there a way of doing it? Can anyone explain how to do it?

Thanks for your help.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SaintyUK:
What vodafone branded things does the phone have? Apps can be removed quite easily with root :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] robsaw:
So, I've flashed and unlocked a number of SE phone before but the Mini Pro appears quite different process. I've downloaded and installed the Omnius client SW and downloaded generic UK firmware RAR file which contains:

1_1_A_0_12_APP_SW_Mimmi_GENERIC_1235_3411_S1_SW_LI VE_3EDC_0001.sin_file_set

R3A_1_1_0_A_12_FSP_Mimmi_WORLD_1_8_1238_0199_S1_SW _LIVE_3EDC_0001.sin_file_set

For other SE phones there is a main firmware file and a customization file, what do the above represent and where are these file names entered in Omnius? I tried searching and looking through the support/tutorials but none directly address this question.

Thanks

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hypersnap:
Hello everyone...

Im a little new in this, but i would love to get an unbranded version for my phone. Its a danish phone, so i need nordic keyboard to work.

Is this the right way:

1. Download the build.prop and go to notepad and insert the numbers from this line: U20i WORLD-1-8 CDF1238-8536	1238-9117 Customized NG1/Black, 1238-9167 Customized NG1/Red?

2. If yes, is it 1238-8536 or 1238-9117?

3. Use a root explorer to put the file on the phone

4. Update to newest firmware with SEUS so im no longer stuck with 1.1.A.0.8?

Thanks in advance
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dthomasen:
Would love to know exactly that as well! Can't really figure out which CDF number to use!

I want the 1.2 update! :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
hello... i need help... i cannot use the adb at the prompt, it's not recognized the comand...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dthomasen:
That's because you haven't installed it correctly :)

thanks, but now, i have a new problem, the adb works, but when i put "adb push superuser.apk/sdcard/superuser.apk" don't work i think...., appears the list of all commands, but what i put, don't work...

another problem is that:

i put the :

an appears:

unable to chmod exploid:no such file or directory

helpppp...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dthomasen:
you forgot a whitespace in the first.

It should be

adb push superuser.apk /sdcard/superuser.apk

Assuming that you've navigated to the directory of superuser.apk of course.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
"failed to copy 'superuser.apk' to '/sdcard/superuser.apk': Permission denied"
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
hello... i have a new problem..., everything works... but, in the last point that appened:

i put:

./busybox cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/

and appeared:

./busybox: not found
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dthomasen:
type:

cd /system/bin/

and then:

./busybox cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/

problem solved :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SaintyUK:
@hypersnap & whooper90, it's the CDF number so 1238-8536 in your example.

I did put this in the first post :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dthomasen:
Yeah, I've found out :)

Done everything you've said in the first post, but it doesn't work :(

Tried uninstalling SEUS and installing it again, without luck.

It says I have the newest software, and there's no need to update.. :confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
it works, now i have a new version, the phone is starting, so... my phone now is debranded? work's for every phone card? thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
my phone was purchased on vodafone pt, now i have do this tutorial...,i have updated and my phone was change to english language... but i have got the vodafone menus... what i have to do to my phone be without these menus, and if possible i can use a sim card of diferent network..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hypersnap:
So still no version will make it possible for danish phones to get 1.2.xx?

I just want it so i can use the black HTC theme where 1.2 is a must :(

I asked in the davinci forum and i got this:

Yes, you can flash with us from up to this revision:

E10i 1.2.A.1.175 0001

But will that work on the Mini Pro?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dthomasen:
On mobildebat.dk a couple of people got the 1.2 update. It's a thread about battery issues, which they said were fixed with FW 1.2..

Black HTC theme can be used with the earlier firmware. I'm using it right now :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hypersnap:
Okay, i was sure that the creator wrote something about it would not work right with ealier firmware's, but if it works for you thats fine :D

So is it better for to stay with my telia branded and just delete the apps i dont want after root, or would it still be better to use U20i WORLD-1-8 CDF1238-8536	1238-9117 Customized NG1/Black, 1238-9167 Customized NG1/Red?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dthomasen:
Yeah.. That's what I've done for now.. But I want to have the FW 1.2 , because of the improvements in battery life :)

And I'm sure the 2.1 update that's comming soon, will come to the generic firmware a lot before it will be avaliable with a branded firmware :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hypersnap:
Wich one of the NG1 or NG2 did you choose?

And is the keyboard Æ Ø Å working still?

Ýes you may be right with 2.1, i want to have generic firmware to,

but is still sad about that we cant update to 1.2 in any way at all :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dthomasen:
I've used the NG1 code.

But it hasn't done anything, all my programs, messages etc. are still there. Don't know if I've done it wrong, or what happened.. Can't seem to get it to work.. :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hypersnap:
So you are still stock at your branded version? What about the programs from your provider?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dthomasen:
yeah, I'm still stock with the branded version..

The programs from my provider are gone, but that's because I've erased them ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hypersnap:
Well that makes sense :D

Then the best option for me is just to root my device, delete the apps i dont want and install the black theme?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dthomasen:
Yeah.. Unless OP can tell me what I'm doing wrong, so that we can get FW 1.2 .
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hypersnap:
Okay then i hope he tell it soon :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hypersnap:

Ofc not, thats why im waiting to get some response from you :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] neo6776:
Thanks for the guide but did nothing on my x10 mini pro from o2 UK.

Followed all the steps, no errors but updater says i have the latest. Tried the uninstalling/reinstalling and still no joy :mad:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] neo6776:
Oh dear i think i have screwed up lol

After about 2 hours playing about with this i decided to look at my build number and i already have 1.2.A.1.174. Is that the unbranded one for the UK?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Snoopo:
This flashing method will not work correctly if you already have firmware version 1.2.A.1.174. I only got it working with the provided build.prop from post #1. Changing the id number does not work anymore as it looks like.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] neo6776:
Interestingly after i changed the build.prop i flashed the software back on anyway and got things like Playnow, Neoreader etc which i never had before.

So basically what your saying is its not now possible to debrand the phones?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Silver251:
Now i have a "¿problem?" i have a spanish debranded x10 mini pro, used a nordic firm tu obtain eclai... now i have function that i didn't have before... but i don't have the promised bluetooth manager and when i see "about phone" it still on 1.6, plz can anyone help me?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Snoopo:
Hey neo. I was not saying it does not work. I also flashed it with the build.prop provided in #1 but if I change the build code to german generic It does not provide me an update or repair option, so I cant flash. But the uk version also has german gui and I just need to edit the keys.xml
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knk1990:
so being the impatient genius that I am....I updated to nordic 2.1. Now i've got the wrong keyboard layout and can't root the device. anyone got a solution to this?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vlissine:
Editing keyprint.xml will work only if you are using default input settings. If you will want to untick it in order to get rid of language bar in landscape mode, or use palm graffiti in portrait mode, the keyboard will revert to swedish-finnish, until you tick default again.

The only solution is to flash country firmware that corresponds to the keyboard. However so far I didn´t find any tangible way to do it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Skeldave:
Just wondering how you can tell if your phone is debranded.

I did this using root explorer, copied the file to sd card, moved it to /system/

Is there any difference the way i did it to the way in the first post?

Thanks.

hey,

ive got a problem after trying to debrand my xperia x10 mini pro.

it seemed that there was a problem with my root commands and the build.prop.

now the resolution of the phone is low and i can only unlock it and see the upper list with the time, charging, usb etc. symbols but i cant see the app menu, widgets or anything else.

sadly the pc companion restore/repair function doesnt work, too.

can anyone help me please?

Hi!!

First of all - thanks for the great thread!!

Your help freed my x10 mini pro from it's Three software, nice!

Anyway, just thought I'd share my adaptation of the process.

1) Root the phone with Super One Click Root. Bit tedious, but worked eventually for me.

2) Backup existing build.prop: adb pull /system/build.prop c:\

3) copy new build.prop (first post) to sdcard: adb push build.prop /sdcard/build.prop

4) copy busybox to sdcard: adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox

5) adb shell

6) su

7) copy busybox to phone (I chose /etc, you could technically use any other directory, I guess):

cd /sdcard

chmod 777 busybox (allowing execution of the file)

./busybox cp busybox /etc/busybox

8) mount /system rw: mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system

9) remove existing build.prop: rm /system/build.prop

10) copy new build.prop:

cd /etc

./busybox cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop

11) chmod new build.prop for right permissions

cd /system

chmod 4644 build.prop

12) exit su: exit

13) exit adb: exit

Then, uninstall & reinstall SEUS - without this, it didn't work for me the first time. Might be because I was already in the middle of downloading (started while the original build.prop was still in place). Once reinstalled, it worked a treat!

I'm on Vista and ran both the One Click Root tool and the command line as administrator. Not sure if it's necessary, but I thought a good idea.

Good luck!

hi guys, newbie need a lil help here

i already installed 1.6 nordic FW to my x10 mini pro, n then i want to upgrade it into my local 2.1 (im in indonesia) with SEUS, but there's no build prop number for my country in 1st page list, so i cant upgrade it :(

anybody knows the complete list of all country for build prop number ? or is there any worldwide global 2.1 firmware for x10 mini pro, just like the global 2.1 firmware for x10 exists??

thanks :)

I need build.prop for Android 2.1, but build.prop from 1st page on mini Pro with And. 2.1 doesn´t work :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] saywot:
I run two Linux machines, mostly from a terminal (that would be cmd.exe for you Windows Fanbois), and followed these instructions religiously.

That is to say, step-by-step watching for errors, carefully, closely and precisely.

I've bricked the Mini Pro :eek:

SEUS says that the software is up-to-date and PC companion won't do a repair because everything is hunky-dory and AOK.

The phone boots up as normal (SE splash screen etc) but after it finishes I am immediately in the press the unlock button to unlock screen and the screen resolution has blown out.

I unlock the phone and I have an activity bar at the top and the rest of the screen is blue and empty. I can drag the notifications down and slide it back up but that's about all. I can't connect to my phone network I can't connect to any wireless networks.

Since it was only the build.prop file copied onto the sdcard and then installed I'm guessing that I corrupted that file somehow.

So before I start all this again.

I have just downloaded a new archive of the build.prop file.

I'm sure that there's more to do than just editing the "1234-1234" number to have a generic firmware that will work here in Australia
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] saywot:
me too !

how can one re-install the home screen app ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] saywot:
How does one do that, if everything, apart from the activity/notification bar, is gone?

Sorry for the newbie question but if I changed the firmware the phone stay unlocked?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] elpasqual:
Sorry if this has been asked before, but does "black" refer to the phones color or the color of the firmware's theme? I want to get rid of the blue one but I don't want to update every single file. Is there any firmware for the Mini Pro that has just stock android apps instead of the SE ones?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] WibyHere:
Where number build.prop for indonesia???:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rehevkor:
After hours and hours of dicking around I finally got this to work on my UK Vodafone branded phone. The build prop included here didn't work, but as someone suggested in a reply here I changed the "ro.semc.version.cust_revision=" from R11A to R1A (I believe) and it all updated/unbranded/Android 2.1'd. Freakin' sweet.

As far as I can tell everything works, including the Market and 3G. Have been playing around with it for a week and not run into any problems with my phone since applying this hack. Obviously I was prepared for the possibility of bricking/major errors, but upgrading to Android 2.1 was worth the risk in my eyes.

So yeah, kudos for the guide, may need updating though.

Cheers.

you can update your phone, by SEUS or pc companion. if you are stuck in one of the previous fw's, use any of the build.prop available here. i'm using UK generic, because when I was still on 1.6, SE took a very long time to release 2.1 for asian kits.

Try this to copy instead:

./busybox cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] skyleth:
i've tried also, but no result. the only thing that i could do was copy with root explorer. but it doesn't work, as soon as i started SEUS, it said that i have the last firmware and the only thing i can do is reload it, so i now i have my phone as new, with the f****** vodafone 360 apps and all vodafone stuff.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 1lokolo1:
But this step is to made at final line of this?

./busybox cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/

./busybox cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/

./busybox cp busybox /system/bin/

:S

Cheers.

PD: If i made this ./busybox cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/ appears

./busybox: not found

You tried until to make all the root + unbrand steps, to delete de SEUS download files.

C:\archivos de programas/sony ericsson/update service/db/13740270/blob_fs/

and delete the 3 files named "FILEXXXXX", 64KB, 12MB and 90MB.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] skyleth:
Maybe the problem was that i didn't delete those files. I'll try tomorrow
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 1lokolo1:
I tried yesterday (copied the build.prop with the root explorer) but same issue.

When i back for running i will try with PC companion.

Cheers.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 1lokolo1:
Yeah i made it!!!!

Only i do all the steps (using the root explorer to copy the build.prop) and then i desinstall the PC companion programs, and install again. When the program detect my mobile, starts a download of the firmware, and now, Firmware unbrand and with QWERTY.

Cheers.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] skyleth:
ou yeah!!!i made it!!

must add to unisntall and reinstall the pc companion and SEUS
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SaintyUK:
Hmm, i didn't need to delete any of the files downloaded by the SEUS. Or reinstall it. But none the less - glad it worked for you both :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Novahawk:
Needed to mount the folders as rw first (mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system) - got a write permission on deleting the build.prop otherwise...

Still didn't work though... trying to flash the CH sunrise black rom... but still have the unwanted chinese stuff and QWERTY keyboard :(

EDIT: Hmm... second try I didn't need the mount... maybe because I rooted yesterday, and used the phone in between?

Anyhow... now tried deinstalling PC Companion, and reinstalling SEUS.

Didn't try just deleting the files, as I'm trying not to flash too often (time constraint).

Still didn't work though :(

EDIT2:

Tried the customized CH black rom, and while it now defaulted to english at startup, I still seem to have QWERTY and chinese stuff :(
