Shouldn't I be able to get into recovery/ download mode before I even think about altering the phone? A simple error could cause a problem I could easily fix in recovery. Without recovery my phone would be bricked. Should I worry about this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chipsa964:
Well, I can relate because I don't have a 3-button phone either. What I did was first root my phone with the 1-click posted in the forum, that way, you can use adb and get into download mode. Then flash the Stock with 3-button fix, then flash whatever cog rom you want. I have used that method and everything has worked fine for me, but of course, follow those instructions at your own risk.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2758866:
Thanks, I didn't even think about needing SU to be able to get into download mode.

I used 1 click root, did the 3 button fix, and flashed clockwork with Rom Manager. I've got it going now. Thanks a lot.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psichi:
It seems like once a day, my phone will become super sluggish, to the point of no longer being usable. A simple reboot will clear up the problem, but there seems to be a larger issue as this is happening every day.

ROM - Myn's Warm 2.2 RL2

Kernel - Ziggy's 10/26

# top -m 5 -n 1
User 92%, System 7%, IOW 0%, IRQ 0%
User 278 + Nice 0 + Sys 23 + Idle 0 + IOW 0 + IRQ 0 + SIRQ 0 = 301

PID CPU% S #THR VSS RSS PCY UID Name

21238 0% S 10 165336K 20484K fg app_124 jackpal.androidterm

Is this just an issue of needing to find a new kernel or rom? I am just not sure where to start looking for the culprit.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globetrahter:
I was having that issue as well and even sluggishness as well when touching the screen. I ended up reading about other people having that issue on his thread with his rom so check there. Might have to do alot of reading though. But I ended up leaving and going back to Baked Snack 1.9
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psichi:
Yeah, I tried to read through the thread, but it turned in to a clusterF pretty quickly, just like every other rom thread.

This issue only started on Thursday, the 28th, so like I said I wasn't sure how to figure out where the real problem was. Guess I'll grab some beer and start reading through Myn's thread again.

If anyone has an idea of how to track down the culprit, please let me know.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madadody16:
hey guys,i have a problem with my xperia x1,i was installing costume rom then it was not good so i tried to go back to the official one from sonyericsson,any way i was doing that but before that i made a task 29 to clean the device first then i tried to make a stock spl to install the official one but i found that the task 29 is doing that by it self,so i tried to install the official using the update service but this stupid new update of that program is rely so bad because its telling me that i have the latest update for my device and that all then exit, and i remember before that new update i can reinstall the rom even its telling me that but now i cant,so my phone is out of working now, so please i need ur help, if any one can...... thank you guys
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H117:
Task 29 does not install stock spl by itself
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliban2:
don't start flashing roms until you've read and fully understood all guides...?! :rolleyes:

SE update doesn't work with hard-spl installed - which you still have. task29 doesn't change that.

you need to download your stockrom from here and flash it via usb or microsd.

after that's done, you can decide if you want to keep hard-spl or if you want to restore stock-spl, which is needed to use SEUS. (but since you already have stockrom, why bother?)

how to restore stock-spl is explained in the hard-spl thread, end of post #1. follow the instructions there closely, or you will brick your phone! flashing spl requires a special .exe, don't use the one from task29, a custom-rom or whatever!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] siddharthsai:
This thread as of now is outdated. Binary has posted a tool to upgrade to 2.1 Nordic. Follow this thread only if you want to update to a UK firmware (1.6) and wait for 2.1 or get lucky as like some people.

Read carefully : IF THIS DOESN'T"T WORK FOR YOU , ITS BECAUSE YOU"RE DOING IT WRONG. DON'T SPAM THE THREAD WITH - "Its not working , you're misleading people " comments. IF it doesn't work for you ask help in a manner that people dont think you're an ass.( some ppl learned that lesson ). THIS is strictly for Indian mini's running 1.A.0.1.8 firmware with 1.6 . Good luck

UPDATE : This should work for all 1.0.A.8 firmware...not tested though!! Get your own build.prop for those who're not from India , or you can take risk and try this... no risk for Indian Mini's.. :)

Getting fast to the topic without much delay!

Its been conformed that Indian mini's will get 2.1 only by November mid. I'm posting this tutorial because i successfully edited the build.prop to debrand the mini ( Thanks to the new method discovered - credits to the OP )

The debranding is to UK generic , which is said to receive the update very soon.

Things you need

1. x10mini with firmware 1.0.A.8

2. Root

3. Root Explorer ( search market )

4. PC companion s/w

Procedure-

Backup your build.prop from /system

Download the attached build.prop and move it to /system using root explorer. ( You have to put the attached file on the memory card obviously )

Without restarting , connect to PC companion and Repair ( Factory reset+repair )

Tadaa - You're new firmware will be 1.2.A.174 , update with SEUS and get 2.1

Good luck

For those who said it was fake ( bit blurry )

In the pics you can see the current date , network provider (airtel) ...just to confirm its not fake..

Anyways vlissine is a jackass who doesnt have basic manners on how to behave in a forum.. Behave yourself or get banned..kind of a racist
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vlissine:
Yeah, yeah ... same story again. Say that Indian does something wrong and get immediately accused of being a racist. For your information I am black, so keep your racism stories to yourself, mate.

The fact is that your instructions are crap and don´t work, as there is no update for UK generic. Point. Stop inventing stories or give us a proof.

Stop bringing in this crap about racism. We are talking about software, and have here people of all races nations and corners of the world. Cool down and get back to business.

The method proposed here doesn´t work (not because of author´s race), but because it just updates the phone to UK generic for which as we know there is no 2.1 yet. I used the build.prop editing method described in this forum and installed 2.1 on my debranded UK generic X10 mini pro.

Your driver is not installed properly. When you switch off the phone and connect ( assuming you're using Win7) it searches for a new driver automatically online. You have to wait. If it hangs then , check your internet connectivity. If that too doesn't work , reinstall pc companion.

If you're using xp , then better get a copy of win7. Repairing drivers is a hectic job.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
I had 1.A.0.1.8 Indian Firmware. I copied my original build.prop and edited the original build.prop in PC through wordpad by replacing the original 1237-8595 with 1238-0549 (Nordic) at all the three places inside the file and saved the file as it is in wordpad. Used Root Explorer and copied this modified build.prop to \ (phone root) and noticed that the permission of this file is not tallying with the permissions of the original build.prop file. So I changed the permission of the modified file to match with the permissions of the original one. ( I don’t know whether this step is required or not but I did it and it did not give any negative or adverse effect.). After changing permmssion I moved this file from “\” to “\system” and replaced the original build.prop after suitably backing up the original first.

Rebooted the phone. Opened SEUS connected the USB cable after pressing the “Back” key. Imp: The “Back” key is not to be released (as advised in SEUS) and SEUS took a long time (nearly 10 minutes) to detect there is a firmware update for my e10i. Once detection was over SEUS advised to release the “Back” key. So guys don’t release “Back” key till not advised. After that it was simple : 120mb download and Android 2.1 installed.

After installing I found my Language was automatically detected as “English(India)” and I configured the phone with all initial settings. Rebooted the phone and ROOTED using SuperOneClickV1. It was rooted without much hassle after I ticked / unticked USB diagnostic mode a few times.

Now everything is working smoothly and I have no major problems till now.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jahsoldier:
There's no need to change or replace whole build.prop ; once you have a 1.2.A.174 generic firmware, just edit the 3 lines in your own build.prop according to your model (mini or mini pro = see general 2.1 discussion), RESTART your phone, connect with pc companion and the update should be there.
