look here
by flashing this ROM you get Android 2.3.5 here is link to download ROM
if you don't understand just put a question here or translate with Google
also do not try ROMs not made for you phone just because of possible hardware failure !!
be sure you have Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini E10i
shortly you have to copy ROM to sdcard then enter recovery mode make bakup then flash new ROM
-backup data just in case..
-save all your data from sdcard before !
-after step 6 copy .zip (ROM archive) to sdcard then do step 7
-wipe steps are important to be sure you make a clean install
-format sd-ext this will make a ext3 part on sdcard for data/apps
(it is just a copy/paste from the original thread)
GUIDE TO TRY NEW VERSION WITHOUT LOOSE MOST OF YOUR APPS AND YOUR SETTINGS:
1) enter in recovery
2) backup
3) wipe system
4) wipe cache
5) format sd-ext
6) wipe dalvik-cache
7) install andread 2.2.9 v8f
8) reboot your phone and start for the first time with andread 2.2.9 v8f
9) reboot in recovery
10) install optional fix if you want new contacts and new dialer
11) restore backup from recovery with advanced restore (you must manually restore choosing first data, then cache, then system, then sd-ext reboot your phone and you will have you're phone updated and with all your last settings and apps)

in fact to flash a ROM is not a big deal but be sure to make all steps in that order
read original thread and do not hesitate to ask !

2-6 is do in the xrecovery?
10) install optional fix if you want new contacts and new dialer????
how ?from market?
this is the latest rom without bug?
thank you so much

step 10- find on original thread Fix Contacts and Dialer download and copy on sdcard
you will flash this file by recovery to update dialer/contacts- step 10
It seems Andread 2.2.9 v9f is the last version because link to Andread 2.3.5 v1t is not valid..
It looks like a good rom giving overclocking/undervolt etc but I understand your frustration because is not very clear how to install
You should do this:
-save all your data (photos etc) on PC just in case..
-now you have to copy Andread 2.2.9 v9f.zip to sdcard
also copy the file from Fix Contacts and Dialer link to sdcard for step 10
-now enter your recovery and make steps 1-11
if you get error on step 7 tell me to know

use PC Companion to revert to stock ROM or flash that custom ROM from previous posts have you tried that ?
or if you have a backup enter recovery and use this to revert to previous status
is not bricked and can be solved bricked means problems with bootloader and phone is like dead- will not boot and no chance to solve it without dedicated service tools

yes this can be an answer to wifi problem but the easy way is to flash a new ROM
baseband is the Radio/Modem version it depends of phone model/carrier/Android version
the radio firmware controls low-level functions on the phone like GSM signal/wifi/GPS to upgrade radio firmware will fix connectivity problems,decrease power usage, etc incorrect radio firmware can disable some functions such MMS/3G/Wifi

so i have to download flashtool to flash my device?

It's about framework-res.apk you have to replace it but do not get this from a stock rom if you have a custom rom on phone
also if you have a custom rom (you have that rom on PC as archive) with that language support and this is the rom flashed then you can do this
if you just want to add a new language support to a rom this is not easy

[Q] error installing cyanogenmod

Hi guys. Before you bash me saying I did not search, trust me I did.
Goal:
I am trying to install cyanogenmod 10 M2 following this guide: oh well, I guess I can't post URL's. But the guide is a wiki from cyanogenmod and is called "Galaxy Nexus (GSM): Full Update Guide"
wiki.cyanogenmodDOTCOM/wiki/Galaxy_Nexus_%28GSM%29:_Full_Update_Guide
When I get to the second command which is to enter the CW menu: fastboot boot boot.img
Problem: My phone gets stuck at the Google logo and my PC says that the driver failed to install.
Here's what I have tried doing and what I installed:
Android SDK + Google USB driver are installed
Universal Naked Driver is installed
I tried re downloading all the files and restarting
I tried changing computers
I even tried FORMATTING my computer and installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 64 bit.
My phone is showing bootloader in the device manager like it should. Everything is FINE and working except for that part. All my drivers are correctly installed on my PC. I have been trying to solve this for exactly 5 hours.
So my question is: how do I solve this ?
Thanks in advance
cheers
You don't have to manually flash the boot.img, just flash the ROM through CWM
Redownload the ROM, check md5 hash, flash away.
Restore the nandroid of your previous working state btw.
cyanogenmod's thread, FIRST POST

First time flashing CyanogenMod 10 your device, or coming from another ROM?

3. flash a prerootet kernel with preinstalled recovery which fits to ur rom
4. flash rom + gapps
5. reboot
6. connect phone to pc
7. backup ur sd card
8. delete ur entire sd card (thats why u have to make the backup)
9. reboot into recovery
10. wipe all
11. search for 'partition sd card'
12. choose ur values that u want
13. reboot into system
14. connect to pc

Modules.zip is inside of fusion kernel rar file : D No there is no risk in flashing wifi modules because these are just a files required for a custom kernel to work properly. I mean like a drivers in windows so the wifi can work.
Just remember to format system, data, cache partitions in CWM before flashing anything. And I forgot about this http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip these are the newest google apps for JB without this Play store, google maps etc wont work.

[Q] Looking for simple Rom and Guide

Hi there,
my mother in law is pretty upset with her Gio. She complains that it always has slowdowns and there are to many useless apps on it.
Therefore I want to get her a Custom Rooted Rom.
She mainly does:
-Of course, telephone
-Use Whats App
-Use SMS
-Wants to use a E-Mail-Client
-Use the camera
-Listens to music
Therefore I am looking for a custom Rom which lets me delete all the Useless Roms and improves the speed and the battery life of her phone. If it has a better launcher design which is not as "boring" as the one on her phone this would be a huge plus.
She uses Android 2.3.6 which is not bounded to a provider.

If you wanna install Enhanced236 (the most bugfree one), you need to install install cwm, Clock Work Mod, first. How to:
1. Make sure that you have fully charged your battery.
2. You need to download the ext4only 5.0.2.0 cwm version, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650.
3. After you have downloaded the zip, you go into recovery mode, in this case stock recovering. You do that by holding The Home Button + Power Button until the recovery gets visible.
4. Then you do click on the Apply update from sdcard, and select the cwm zip.
5. After you have flashed the zip, you should reboot your device. Here's a YouTube video on the installation process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxjxB8P9rSU
6. After you have done that, I recommend you to take a nandroid backup. The backup will be stored on your sdcard, so you can copy the backup to your computer if you want to, just in case.
Now you have installed CWM. Let's install the ROM!
7. Download the enhanced236 from this thread. Copy the zip to the root of your sd-card, and then go into CWM. Wipe data/factory reset. After that, wipe the cache partition. NOTE! This will erase everything you have done on your phone, so make sure that you have a backup ready! After that, click on the install zip from sd-card, choose the enhanced236_06.08.2012.zip and flash it. Just follow the instructions that pops up, and then restart your phone. Leave it booting/waiting for like 5 min, and then start touching/configure the device. After doing the necessary configuring, wait another minute. And reboot. And then it's done! Wohooooo.. :victory:
Hope you like your new custom ROM! And if you have any questions, just ask! I'm glad to help! :laugh:
Regards,
X-Zone
With your help I managed to install a custom Rom, thank you very Much.
I installed Cyangemod 7 Beats Music Edition.
Unfortunately I think I made a mistake in the backup. These are the files the backup gave me: IMAGE
-With this files and the files with are still on the phone is there any change to restore her contacts?
-Additionaly she has problem with handling her Phone connected to the PC as a Mass Storage Device. Is there any (free) German software which syncs the Music, Images, Videos more easily with her phone?
My mother in law is not very good with PC, therefore the more simple the software is the better.

Hi guys can i use this method to flash a custom rom to a stock Gio, my brother in law would like to have a custom rom but he don't know how. Do i need to root it ? Please help.

Updating to latest rom.

Hi all!
Sorry for posting a new thread about this, but I'm really confused about what should I do.
I'm currently on P6-U06V100R001C00B111 - rooted, and I would like to use KitKat stock or custom, doesn't matter. Can I just put ROM files on SD and go on "Local update" in settings? Or do I have to install ADB and fastboot as described here
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

First of all, wrong forum..
Second I belive there are many ways of doin this update.
This is what I did:
1. Placed the update.app on a Sdcard and did a locale-update by going into settings
2. The phone will reboot and the update will start.
3. You are know on KK, but you will not have a working PlayStore since the old one is for JB.
Basicly this is what u need to do to be on KK, but if you want Playstore etc you have to install TWRP and flash gapps, and if I remember right you need to flash TWRP via fastboot.
I wanted a clean install so after I had installed TWRP I did a factory reset and wiped the internal memory and installed KK (.zip-file) and Gapps via TWRP from my Sdcard.
This is how I did and maybe someone else can tell u a better way to do it.
Can anyone post the link for what rom can i flash?

First of all, wrong forum..
Second I belive there are many ways of doin this update.
This is what I did:
1. Placed the update.app on a Sdcard and did a locale-update by going into settings
2. The phone will reboot and the update will start.
3. You are know on KK, but you will not have a working PlayStore since the old one is for JB.

Text Tutorial
So here is the text tutorial of how to DUAL BOOT your Redmi 1S. :highfive:
PRE-REQUISITE
Here you need the files we need for this process and the links to these files are mentioned below
Backup of your ROM which you are using right now if you want it to use it after the dual boot process (Here MIUI 7 is backed up).
your Redmi 1S should be charged with at least 80% battery (NOT necessary but suggested).
Rooted Redmi 1S with TWRP installed.
The ROMs you want to dual boot and everything for that ROM.
Procedure:
Backup your present rom. (For eg. MIUI 7 ) using TWRP.
Now after backup in TWRP go to home ---> Click on Install ---> Navigate yourself where you have kept the downloaded files ---> Find HM1s-Sysrec.zip and flash it.
This will now delete your Internal memory and factory reset your present ROM. (So backup it before hand)
After flash phone will reboot into recovery mode. Now copy System-Menu-Data-HM1SWC in your Ext. as well as Internal storage. For this connect your device to your PC in recovery mode. Your device will get connected as MTP device. Now copy this file in both Internal as well as External storage.
Now Flash
Sysrem-Menu1.4.1-test.zip . Aroma installer will open. Then Click on English ---> Accept the terms ---> Enter The function ---> Install and Uninstall ---> Install dual system.
Now restore the ROM you backedup earlier.
After this Go to home ---> Again Flash this file ---> Again do all that ---> This time click on Install SystemChanger app ---> System1 ---> Check first option only if you are on MIUI ---> Next
After this flash UPDATE SUPERSU V2.46.zip
Now reboot to system.
When rebooted to system go to SuperSU and go to settings and click on enable SuperSU and after the process again click on it till it installs the SUPERSU again.
Press Home button.
Find the SystemChanger app. Open it ---> Click on Switching.
After a while phone will show Mi logo. Press Vol up+Power button. Phone will enter in recovery mode.
Flash the ROM you wanted in SYSTEM2.
After process Again flash Sysrem-Menu1.4.1-test.zip --->Do all that ---> Click on Install SystemChanger app ---> System2---> Check first option if it is MIUI else continue.
Root the ROM any how. (If you want to know how to root a specific ROM reply below)
Click on Reboot to System
The System will boot into System2.
Set it up.
After setting you will find SystemChanger app here too. Open it click on switching to boot into system1.
After the phone boots System 1 then congratulations.

It actually divides your NAND partition into two and you can dual boot cm12.1 with any ROM.

MIUI works perfectly on system partition 1. Try installing it on Sys partition 1 and other rom on System Partition 2
"7. After this Go to home ---> Again Flash this file ---> Again do all that ---> This time click on Install SystemChanger app ---> System1 ---> Check first option only if you are on MIUI ---> Next"
tried many times but no luck, till i leave them uncheck and it works, yes it for miui v7 on 1st system partition
and it didnt devide the nand entirely, they still share the same /data partition including internal sdcard. so if 1 rom do factory reset or restoring /data the other rom will have /data partition erased, is there any solution?

ehm so it rather complicated, let say i already have 2 rom installed and i want to replace 2nd rom with new 1, so i will need these steps:
1. make sure i have full backup system1
2. change to 2nd rom through the system changer app or the system changer installer
3. full wipe 2nd rom
4. go back to 1st system partition through system changer installer
5. restore /data
6. go back to 2nd system partition through system changer installer
7. install new rom
8. install system changer app
am i correct?

Or you can do a thing
Boot into 2nd system using system changer app
Boot into recovery
Wipe and just install the ROM
Install system changer app
I hope that will work!

Bro you cant just criticize like that! You may encounter some problems but that doesnot mean its because of this methord. Im personally using it for over 1 month and too use snapchat, instagram, facebook, whatsapp on both roms (Not whatsapp as it can be installed on a single ROM only) but I didnt encountered any issue!
Please be sure what you are posting. You told a guy above also that the method is risky. He/She may now wint install. Please bro please.
