Extraordinary guide obviously. I figured out how to overhaul my little girl's x 10 mini than expected genius to late Android adaptation. The issue now is that she became friendly to Sony advanced Active User interface. Do you know any approach to introduce that launcher or comparative? Much obliged ahead of time for any offer assistance.

Hi Any, to bad the update didn't work, but sometimes just *not* bricking the device already feels like a victory. ;)

Hi everyone, Erik here. I just wanted to let you know that while you are still welcome to post new comments to this article, I probably won't be replying to them anymore. Reason is, since I got a new phone I have stopped using my X10. But thank you all for the feedback! :)

@philoz: Thank you! You might want to check out a ROM with a similar look and feel as the original interface. Here is one (that I haven't tried, but it looks good): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151499 @sayan: You might be able to use PC Companion from SonyEricsson to unbrick the device. You can find brief instructions in a previous comment. Hope this helps!

hi Erik. Great guide of course. Thanks for that. I managed to upgrade my daughter's x10mini pro to recente Android version. The problem now is that she grew affectionated to Sony optimized Active User interface. Do you know any way to install that launcher or similar ? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi tarun sharma, a parse problem may indicate a bad download or incompatible phone. Make sure your phone is compatible and download the package again. Also have a look in the XDA Developers xRecovery thread, this could be a good place to search for answers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571

Hi Eric Man please try to make a video of that in your free time... And When it comes to only ROOTING, can we get APP2SD feature after rooting and expansion of internal memory coz got rid of this low internal memory....:( Running 2.1 compared to present world of Android Power makes me SAD so

Erik

Wed, 24 Jul 2013 09:02:00 +0000

Hi Power Arc, I'll consider making a video - but don't get your hopes up! I picked up the Nexus 4 recently and I now find it difficult to go back to the X10 Mini Pro. ;) About benefits of rooting: Some applications require rooting to work - like file explorers that let you access more of the file system, powerful backup tools, or hardware tweaking tools. Titanium backup os one example, Root explorer another.

Hi Gseli, hi kiran tanka, thank you for the feedback! About compatibility with the non-pro, I would recommend you use a rom specifically for that version. You can look at the cyanogenmod for xperia mini: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/32772-cyanogenmod-7-for-the-xperia-mini-v7102-24-oct-2011/ There is also a whole forum section dedicated to the device at XDA Developers, where you can find more info and custom roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=726 It could also be a good place to sort out the question regarding where to install it when the SD card is partitioned, because I'm afraid I don't know the answer myself.

Hi Erik, at first I will say thanks to you for giving a good article. Erik I have got some stuff like this from other sites, but ur explains are good among the others. actually what I need, is it supports to my SE Xperia X10 mini? coz, your guide is on fully supported to X10 mini pro. and onemore thing is ... I was partitioned my memory card into two (FAT32 and ex2) to support Link2SD app. The partitions are 3GB,1GB respectively. the question is .. in which partition I have to installed the update file? after updating the os, the ex2 partition part is visible in device ?give me the step by step guide...

Tue, 25 Jun 2013 00:02:00 +0000

Hi Vincent, had this problem as well with some custom rom (can't remember which), but I did not really try to solve it, instead just installed another rom and that worked. A guess: Maybe the layout of the keyboard changed in the software so that it does not correspond to the physical keyboard? This could be a problem eg. if you have a German phone and the layout changes to English - the Y and Z keys will then be swapped.

@Tommhani: Probably not. The procedure would be similar, but the firmware is most likely not the same. Check out the XDA Developer forums and see if you can find anything there. @Md jobayer: Thank your for your post. However, it is difficult to tell what the problem might be. Maybe try upgrading to 2.3 using the instructions on this page? Could be worth a shot.

@kiba: Check out the paragraphs "3. Installing BusyBox" and "4. Installing xRecovery" above. @Dave: The applications are hosted by other providers so I cannot control whether they contain malware. I should point out though, that some antivirus programs report hacking tools as viruses, even though they are harmless (provided the users know what they are doing). On the SuperOneClick download page, there is a comment thread - check out the comments and consider asking if anyone else has the problem.

Hi again Avro, I don't know if this issue applies to the X10 mini pro, but seems to be relatively common with the "regular" X10. Basically, you can try: - Formatting the SD card using a PC or another phone - Trying/buying another SD card Check this thread over at SonyMobile (reply #21): http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/21406?start=20&tstart=0 If this is an official update from SonyEricsson (not CyanogenMod), you might get support from them directly. Hope things work out!

Hi saad, from their website: "MiniCM is a custom-built ROM for the X10 Mini / X10 Mini Pro / X8 based on CyanogenMod." So with this ROM, you should be able to run Gingerbread, ICS or JB on the X10 Mini Pro. To find out more, go to their website: http://minicm.dyndns.org/site/ Check out the information under the menu: Information => MiniCM[version] => mimmi

Hi Joao, that sounds low. The capacity of the battery in this phone is, however, rather weak. In stand by with GSM only, I get maybe 48 hours. If I actually use the phone - calling, surfing, listening to music - then it might last just about a day. So it depends mainly on what you use it for and what apps you have running.

Joao

Wed, 13 Mar 2013 00:16:00 +0000

Just for curiosity, how many hours you battery can handle? In the morning i have 100% battery, and 5/6 hours later I just have 5%

Erik

Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:47:00 +0000

Hi Mr.Bheem, there could be several reasons. After a quick Google, here are some things people have tried, some of which may work: - Turning off and turning on the phone - Install and run the JuiceDefender app - Factory reset the phone - Let the phone drain the battery until it switches off itself, then recharge the phone to 100%, then switch it on See if any of these work for you. Otherwise, Google is your friend.

Erik

Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:46:00 +0000

Hi Joao, it could be a problem with SMS splitting: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/22587-cant-send-long-text-messages/ OR a problem with message center number: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253013 It might also be a problem with your carrier. Try sending/receiving from someone with a different carrier. If you cannot find a solution... install WhatsApp! ;)

Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:42:00 +0000

Hi again Stoneman, if the phone is frozen and cannot be switched off using the power button, just take out the battery. After putting it back in, wait a while to make sure the phone doesn't turn itself back on automatically. You might have to give it a minute after taking the battery out or try a few times. After making sure the phone is off, you can hold the back button and connect it to the PC while PC Companion is waiting.

Thu, 07 Mar 2013 19:38:00 +0000

Hi Stoneman, this article is about upgrading to 2.3 Gingerbread, not 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. ICS is not likely to work on this device. Try flashing with the original firmware to set things right again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS2LIuy6YfY However, if you are using another device than the X10 Mini Pro and the ICS firmware is official, contact Sony support instead. Good luck!

Erik

Mon, 04 Mar 2013 20:57:00 +0000

Hi Deepan, that doesn't sound good at all! The update process should only take a few minutes. If all else fails, you could try to restore the original firmware. Here is a very short video on how to do that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS2LIuy6YfY I can confirm that this works; I just did it five minutes ago. The basic steps are: 1. Install and launch PC Companion 2. Select to update the phone software 3. Click to start, and when it complains it cannot find the phone, select "repair phone" 4. Confirm that all data will be deleted and that you're OK with that 5. (Not in the video) I was asked to switch off the phone, and connect it to the PC while holding the back button. After a few minutes, the update is complete. Start the phone and you're back with stock 2.1. Hope this helps.

Hey again, thanks for the tips on this site. After spending quite a long time on this, I finally got another mod to work but only to find out that it did not fix the thing where my touchscreen stops working when I use the keyboard. That means I will have to buy some Galaxy now:-)

@Simon: Have fun! @Pelle: Should work. The only thing I can think of is that under "Language & Keyboard" in the settings, the keyboard should be set to "Default input". Hope this helps.

More: I tried the app Mini ROM Manager and changed HW Keyboard layout to qwerty-se-fi, according to some tips, but it still didn't work, no åäö etc. Rebooted, the setting is kept, but keyboard is still wrong. Just to add to the above...

Hej Erik, I did have Busybox. What I did was instead to download a Root Manager Lite and put the files directly into /system/bin instead of using the failing installer. It worked fine! Simon you can try it! Now I am on MiniCM7Pro V21 of CM for 2.3.7. It's like a fresh phone! Why did you opt to use another mod, Erik? My Swedish (physical) keyboard is mismatching BTW. Did you solve that? Tack

Hey Erik This is a great guide, thanks for this. I am from Denmark, but will write in English for the sake of the wide world. Pelle says that when installing xRecovery he gets just red rings. As far as I understand from the comments on xRecovery, this is because read/write permission is needed on the rooted device, and not because of a lack of Busybox. I will continue to play with it:-)

Hi Pelle, I did not point this out in my guide, but the AddictiveTips page I link to states that BusyBox need to be preinstalled. This might be you problem. Check out this thread: http://androidforums.com/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10/265818-having-trouble-installing-xrecovery.html I will update this article to point that out. Good luck!

Hej Erik! In English: I rooted my phone, using SuperOneClick. Downloaded xRecovery installer from "Google Play", ran it, get the same look as on the guide you linked to. However when I click to install, only thing that happens is that the three little icons turn into crossed red rings. Do I have to do something before this step? Thanks

Hi power ranger, let me put it this way: If you feel worried about doing this, don't do it! It's unsupported and will void your warranty. The main reason I did this was because my phone felt old. If a new version of Android could breathe new life into it, great - if only for a few months. And if I would brick it, I would just be looking forward for a new Christmas gift for myself.
