upgrading u20i (need assistance) - XPERIA X10 General

Hi guys, I'm new here. I recently bought new xperia mini pro u20i and I don't really like the old OS in it. Thought to upgrade to ICS but the problem is that I'm not experienced at all in these android update&upgrade things. (I'm mostly a computer guy ) I've read instructions how to upgrade etc.. but I'm not risking do it alone although I rooted my phone few hours earlier (whatever that means ) I need someone experienced to show me either on Skype or any other IM step-by-step how to upgrade my OS before I go crazy about it ICS seems like a cool upgrade and I want to try it out. Reply here or PM me, doesn't matter. Please just help me to accomplish this task. Appreciate it. Thanks in advance ))

Ever heard the phrase...seek and ye shall find?
The places you need to be are Trinity Mobile 6: , Trinity upgrading etc. and racerx's excellent Trinityguides. There you will find out all you need to know - presented in simple English.
You will, however, have to read. This is good, as your understanding of what you are doing to your beloved Trinity will be solid - and once you've understood, you'll be away.
If, after reading, you are none the wiser, probably best to stick with what you've got.
Thankyou, i have been looking but its confusing without a decent tutorial. But you directed me so i shall study

3) Start any be happy
Once you have flashed your first ROM, be prepared to try all the others. Flashing is a wee bit addictive until you find just that perfect one. Personally I am still on the stock WM5 ROM, too much customisation and software installed to go through that again.
Thnx for the help from everyone, you wouldnt believe how much i have been searching on google n youtube etc.... surprisingly little about the subject untill i found this site.

Thanks!
Hey flyboy!
Thanks for showing interest, please guide me how to go?
Ok what i would do is look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428469
and make sure you read through before doing anything.
If you download any roms: wm6.5 is the latest, but wm6/6.1 is more reliable.
And i think il post a snap of my himalaya.
BTW: When did you get your himalaya?
flyboy
PS: If you have any problems just feel free to pm me!
Thanks!!
Well, I do have my Himalaya with me right now.
I'm carrying the stuff you have provided, I'll go through & try out same. if stuck up I'll trouble you for help.
Anyway,thanks a lot for your frnd request,you'r my 1st friend.
Greetings! flyboy.
Hi!
Hey Flyboy!
What's this Dopad? I gone through the description of flashing ROM & found to press "Dopad+Reset+Power button".
Well, I came across many WM6 & WM6.1, also read reviews for the same, which is most trusted or you like to use?
lol
typing error! DPad- press in the center of the directional pad
btw: when du get your himalaya?
i will make you a video on youtube if your still not sure.
edit: i have made the video and is uploaded:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwS_qKrI8lk
sorry about the quality
flyboy
A little more help please, Dear!
Firstly, a bi....g Thanks man!!
for the help rendered & efforts taken for me by making demo YouTube video.
Well, I all set go for my first ROM update. But just the part of precaution, I'v a query!
I gone through many threads & wiki, which helped me like tutorial.
But if suppose the new ROM update gets crash with my Himalaya, is there any way to re-jump to the existing original ROM I do have in device now?
I mean, can I bounce back to original ROM, in case of new ROM update failure?? If yes, please guide me how??
Hey Man, sorry for troubling you again & again!!
1. it will probably not go wrong
if you list all the spec of your computer and the equipment that you have for your himalaya it would give me a clearer idea about upgrading for you.
2.Its ok it keeps me busy! my teacher has gave me 3 htc voxes to fix in the past. anyway.
a little story.
When i got my himalaya in march this year i was chufed at what it could do then i discoverd that the rom was out of date and that was why i couldnt install much. Then i found this place. I read up on some threads on updating and i saw it was possible. So i nervously followed the guide because i found that if anything went wrong the device could be rendered unuseable. But... I went ahead and flashed it and it worked. And the first rom i ever flashed was athers windows mobile 6 ultimate edition. Since then i have not yet found a rom as brilliant as stable as it.
so when upgrading things can go wrong. but dont be reluctant to flash a new rom.
and you would have to do a bit of research if you decided you wanted the original rom back.
btw how old are you?
ONE MORE THING. I WILL LOOK FOR THE ORIGINAL ROM FOR YOU TONIGHT.
flyboy
I would also like an original Himlaya rom backup (O2 XDA II). As soon as I have the backup I will be flashing away!
Whoa!
Ooh! 12 yrs old compu geek ur!!
Well, I'm of 25!!
Thanks for encouragement. Like you, me too love my gadget very much & peruse a hobby of using high profile gadgets. I was not aware of this platform & came across through Googgling.
Long time I'm using O2 XDA II & loves it badly, it's a last gift from one of my friend from Singapore who's no more.
I'v a HP 614c gadget & if succeed with this , I'l like to have some R & E with that too, in fact that's require on that.
im 13 btw
flyboy
Oh, Sorry!!
Hah..ha....haahaha!!
I'm sorry, ur profile shown 12 y'day.
Well man, I got this link (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=233219) relate to O2 XDA II WM 2003 SE ROM, please have a look on the same.
Whats your opinion, can I use this for bounce back to previous version, in case of any problem?
that rom i would recommend flashing with that first.
just to make sure3
dont forget to back up!
good luck
flyboy
Pls suggest!
Hey Flyboy!
Y'day I tried to do the process but I fell to upload Hard SPL (BTW I'm going for C_shekhsr's ROM)
I followed noobs guide, update the USB driver for vista, then went to bootload the device & try to force Hard SPL.
Following all given instructions also its showing connection error (Error 260, 264) & process stops, but in reality everything is well connected & correct.
Well, when Hard SPL program executing, I observe, it also not showing my old version @Upload (second stage of confirmation).
Is there any special process for O2 XDA II hard SPL & on vista os??
I followed all guides well; What do you think may b going wrong?
Hard SPL? whats that? i never had to use it.
regarding error no connection:
go to task manager and make sure something a long the lines of microsoft usb sync or something is installed. and then disallow all the connection settings in windows mobile device center.
oh and if it still doesnt work try it without hard spl because i didnt use it. and it works on 7 and xp.
oh and the rom im using now is WinMoB_6.1_OS_5.2.21109_Build_21109_-_Lite_WWE.
try it! it runs touch flo!
dont hesitate to contact me.
or i could show you better on msn?
flyboy
Hi!
Hey man!
As I said I'm looking to dumb C-Shekhar OS with following specs:
----------------------------------------------------------------
ROM: WM1.60.21014aCS(build 21014 AKU 1.60)
dated: 09.Jan.2009
OS 5.2.21014 (Build 21014.1.6.0)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, he flaged Hard SPL as compulsory pre requirement.
Well, the OS you have mentioned, is that of Ather? or from which source?
Y'day I tried Asia CE2003 (Upgraded), & that worked.
Well, in Bootloader, the device connectivity is a main issue occurring with me & I'm failing to understand the reason. I mean is this bcs of Vista or else?
sorry for late reply (baned from my computer!)
the rom i wrote is by nokser
just try it without the hardspl thing cause it worked for me.
Hi!!
Hey Flyboy!!
I load the Ather's dark ROM (WM 6.0) & its really nice, I'm enjoying a new look to my gadget.
Well, is it possible to install FM Radio on O2 XDA II? I tried the same from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479572 but saying not related application after installing cab.
Do you have any clue for same??
Well,before I logout, I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas
& here's hoping for a wonderful ski season in the New Year! A very happy new year 2010, my friend!!!
..Have a blast, Cheers !!!!
Thanks!!! really that cheered me up!
Well all the best wishes to you also my friend!!!!
The FM radio is a good idea but dont think it will work.
Are you staying with that dark rom from ather or you still going for the C_shekhar one?
merry christmas!
flyboy
btw: have you tryed manila touchFLO? its great!

Please Help Need to find DEV firmware for X10 prototype

Hello,
Sorry for disturbing but I really need a firmware pack for a prototype X10.
I received it for testing, and it seems someone flashed a generic stock firmware on it.
The result - a beautiful x10 with no network access, it can not register to any network provider.
If anyone has such a firmware, please PM me.
Thank you all

Maybe you need to enter the network setting (aka APN)? If that is not the problem then go here.

no, that is not the case.
Thephone is a prototype, and it can not use the network at all with shiped rom - meaning no voice at all - it acts as if it was in "airplane mode".
Thank you for your opinion, anyway
Hello Agarthian,
what SI (CDF) does the prototype have (Label below the battery)?

Hi again,
I´ve flashed such a prototype (exactly the same type/data as yours) with a DE/CH generic software version (CDF/SI: 1235-7836). Only limitation of the prototype board is that Bluetooth is not implemented and speaker is weak.
Good luck - Nonixnarrez
Is there any way you could give me that specific firmware? I searched for it but i was unable to find it.
Would be most grateful if you could upload the file somewhere and PM me the download link.
Thanks in advance

this is a russian 2.1 version but it is for dev phones, im pritty sure u can work it out

hope this works for u mate
Thank you, flashed this firmware but it seems that the problem was not caused by the firmware after all.
The phone still asks for "sim network unlock pin" - the phone is not network locked, being a prototype. The other X10's we received are just fine, this one just refuses to use any sim card.
Any other ideas? I'm running out of them.
Hello Agarthian,
I'm sitting here looking at the lovely X10i prototype that a major-manager at SE gave me some time back. It irritates me hugely not to be able to upgrade it to 2.1 and so I was wondering if this is what You have done/are attempting? If so, have You been successful?
Cheers/M

Hi.
I have 2.1 on it, but this huge problem about not being able to use any SIM card in it. I really don't know if it originally came with 2.1, because someone else had it for testing before me, and I have no info about what happened to it so far.
Thanks

Well my phone, with a higher SI-number than Your's (if that has any relevance to age) was certainly delivered with the 1.6 it is still running. So probably someone has done a manual upgrade of some sort on the phone to get it to 2.1. Have You spoken with SE support? I had a X10 Mini Pro that they actually took pity on and upgraded for me. It probably helped that I live in Stockholm and had an SE lab here close-by... No such service-mindednes this time round, though....
Thanks/M

Nokia Lumia 520 Light ROM.

Hello my name is Alex and I am from Greece (my english are not very good ^_^ )
So... i bought my lumia 520 on August 2014 and lately my phone just lags a lot, i've downloaded a bunch of roms but i could not make it work flawlessly. Can you please help me to find a code (product code) to download a rom that work fine for my lumia 520? Please?
(Windows Phone 8.1)
Also can you please teach me how to keep my phone in a "great shape" ?
Thank you very much for reading... <3
I hope you can help me!
Love from Greece! ^_^
Hi Alex.
you have to download official tool from MS: "Windows Phone Recovery Tool" https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=525569
just follow the steps in app and it will install the latest available ROM for your device.
and believe, it will be the best, if you will keep phone in a "great shape"...
to keep phone in a "great shape" a bit harder...
you must NOT forget, that you have a budget (low-cost) phone.
so do NOT expect it will work same way as flagman phones...
the most important think you must remember is do NOT keep any not used apps (that you do not use every day. want to try smth? install it, try, and uninstall/remove)
and do NOT install apps on SD-card. never ever!.. it's simply slows you phone.
those rules just based on my experience in using 520 in everyday life.
hope it will help you.
