Hello all !
My name is Seby, and I'm here because I consider this a serious community.
With some months ago, I changed the ROM of my Alcaltel One Touch 991, and my brother saw that I can do it, so he wanted to change the ROM of his Xperia e10i mini.
I rooted it, then he was needed to go out of country, so he got just the phone rooted.
Now, he came back, and wants to continue to change the ROM.
The phone was/is still rooted, so I started to search a good CWM for it.
After 2-3 hours of searching for solutions ( found somewhere a tutorial where unlocking bootloader was needed, but I couldn't unlock it because flashtool got error about remounting the system rw, then I kept searching another CWM ) I found a nice tutorial about How to install CWM on xperia e10i. ( this is the tutorial - this is the CWM )
I have installed it, then I wanted to test if it really work, so I spent about one hour to find the combination of keys for it. (spamming Back button while the first "Sony Ericsson" text is loading)
But sadly, it doesn't starts... I tried with ROM Manager (downloaded from pc and copied on sdcard because it doesn't appear in the Android Marker) and rebooted it in Recovery, but it was just rebooting.
I searched for the directory called CWM (or something like that) in phone's data and sdcard, but I couldn't find it.
I'm really bored of this solutions' search, so that's why I registered and posted this.
I hope you can help me, by telling me what should I install, what to do next, etc.
Here is the ROM that I want to install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961707
(looks nice, and the part with "is the most stable and feature-complete ROM for the mini for day to day use" convinced me)
Here are some details about phone:
Firmware
2.1-update1
Baseband ?
M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Kernel
2.6.29
[email protected] #1
Number of compile ?

Did you try Volume down to get in to CWM?
That rom you want to install is 3 years old CM6 = Froyo
Pick some other one, atleast CM7....
You need to flash the kernel first (you can use flashtool)
Kernel has CWM built-in
Enter CWM and install .zip from SD (rom)
I used these when i had my X10 mini
Kernel
Rom

Thank you very much for the reply !
I followed the steps: I unlocked the bootloader, then I loaded the new kernel version... but after ithat, it exited from Flash Mode and started to turn on... but it is stuck in a boot loop now...
It cannot start the OS, it just restarts the loading animation after its own end.
I can access the CWM so I think I can fix it.
I will try to add directly the CM7 because I've read somewhere that this kernel works only with it, so I will give a try
If you have any suggestion, just tell me.
Hurray ! I've installed the ROM !
First, I couldn't install the ROM from CWM (error: can't mount /sdcard) ... then I put the SDcard in my phone and I saw that it is corupted, so I gave it a reformat, then I copied the ROM to the SD, and moved back the sdcard to the sony ericsson and I finally loaded the ROM
Thank you very much for your reply, martinusbe !
Until yesterday, I've lost my hope.
By the way, thanks to all tutorials too
Great.
Now you can try some different roms :silly:
P.s. there is a 'thanks' button, to say thanks...

I have tried to look through the numerous threads but still dont seem to beable to find the answer to my question, I bought a x10 mini pro from someone and it has cyanogenmod 7 v005 on it but i want to revert it back to stock.As i bought this with cyanogenmod already on it i dont have the stock rom. I have checked and it does have xrecovery installed so can i just find a stock rom and install it using xrecovery or do i need another custom rom. If anyone can point me to the right thread (i know there prob is one and ive missed it) or to the stock rom? It would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
anyone able to help??
so am i stuck on this custom rom?
if you find a stock rom that is in a format that the recovery mode can use, yes.
if not you will probably have to use a flash program like odin and flash the stock rom that way.
argggh i got impatient waiting for a response and read elsewhere using pc companion to restore would work and now stuck in SE logo loop, is it now bricked? or is there a solution ???

Sure thing, always happy to help .
If you still have download mode or something similar it is not fully bricked.
On the sgs you can even make a custom usb plug to get it into flash mode when your download mode is broken, it just takes more expertise to get it working again the more you brick it .
**SOLVED**
I did a repair in PC Companion, and that gave me stock ROM - but I didn't get the correct hardwarekeyboard...
And I lost Root I guess, so I can't replace/change the keyprint.xml file.
xRecovery seems to be gone, but what about JIT(what is that?)?
I want to be all stock due to warranty.
Oh, and how should I format my sd card?! I have an ext3 and a fat32 partition now, to support apps2sd, but dont want that. should i just format whole card to fat32?
Not sure about the SD card. However I would first backup any data/files on the SD card before trying anything.
Regarding JIT, it basically boots the performance of your phone, its related to Android's software compiler.
I think Android versions 2.2 & above already have JIT enabled, however to have this on version 2.1 you may need to root the device.

I must have the Stock ROM for the U20i in German, Can youre help???
First of all thank you for your attention regarding this post!
I recently rooted my LG p970, After hours of research I tried it with ''superoneclick'', it worked.
Afterwards I would liked to get a custom ROM, again I searched for hours and camed across CYANOGENMOD.
So I would try that one.
I've got the ROM Manager app, I downloaded CYANOGEN, then got into recovery mode, but then...
Everytime I get an error regarding that my SD card can't be mounted.
I've looked in many forums regarding this propblem, but I can't find an understandable solution
Could someone help me out with this?
Again, Thank you for reading my post!

Hello dear XDA-developers,
I am thinking of buying a new phone, so i came across this phone called the "K-Touch Hornet II V9", it is a Chinees phone. and I couldn't find it on xda-developers.com.
So I was wondering if it is possible to have a Custom Rom installed on it.
Maybe to create my own Custom Rom with this toolbox:http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...stallation-with-android-ultimate-toolbox-pro/
I have a technical background so I guess this should be manageable for me to understand.
Anyways hope to get some reactions on this topic.
Cheers, and many thnxs in advanced,
DesireDroid
Ps.: I currently have a HTC Desire (classic) and rooted that one. and installed some custom roms on it. like the Leedroid custom rom:
Hello,
I am interesting in your request because i have the same device.
Could you tell me if you found anything about an alternative ROM for the "K-Touch Hornet II V9" ?
Regards

Succelfully ROOT K-Touch V9
Hi, las nigth I rooted the Phone whis this tool www . srsroot.com
I have selected the First Root method.
and the program tried to root the phone whith several different tools, and in the process make the phone reboot several times...
In the final steps i was very nervous becouse the phone was rebooting in a loop like half and hour... The Root program in my PC were telling me to wait 1 minute after the phone boot and press ok in the win window after that.
1 time the phone stop looping the boot, so then i tried to unlock the screen to check... but once i didt it, the phone starts to reboot in a loop again.
So, the next time i saw the phone boot ok, i didnt unlock the screnn. I just wait ti finish the boot and press the ok button in my PC.
An then the root program tells me that the root its OK!! The program finished intalling the Superuser.apk... And thats all...
I download Root Checker.apk and verify the succes root after agree to the Superuser App to allow root privileges to the aplication...
I rebooted again the phone and I checked that the root in permanet..
So, by now is how far a can go...
Now I need to intall the CMW 6.0.1.1 to finally Flash a ROM in Spanish and after that intall Gapps from Google...
The same program that root the phone, can make it reboot in recovery mode whit CWM 6.0.1 but in chinese, anyway helping me whit another phone whit the same recovery in English i can go on whit the program and made a Backup of the rooted phone... but i think i am not safe this way flashing a new rom becouse if something go wrong i cannot boot again this mode if i dont boot the phone first in the normal way...
Could anybody help me whit that?
I almost forget, my version of android of my Ktouch V9 is 4.0 and with CN/EN Languages
I hope i did will be helpfull
Bye!

I found k touch stock and custom rom on http://www.ndroidzone.com/
Hello everyone.
I have an Alcatel One Touch 908F running Android 2.2.2 that I chose to root and install a 2.3 ROM since no official update was released and it had a lot of advantages that I really need. I successfully rooted it with VROOT, install a CWM 5.0.2.7 recovery and flashed two custom ROMs based on 2.2.2 (the one for Alcatel One Touch 908S WIND, and the one for Alcatel One Touch 908Q T-Mobile) just for testing.
Both successfully worked with no problems at all (except the fact that Back, Home and Menu changed their places but it was fixed by flashing a tool that I found on this forum - Thank you so much, developers!) so I wanted to flash a 2.3 ROM, but I didn't realize that it wasn't approprite (It was only for Alcatel One Touch Telenor, and the worst: it wasn't told in the instructions!). I knew it when, once my phone booted for the 1st time, it showed the "Telenor" logo reversed on top, and white lines at the bottom of the screen. So I reverted back to my stock ROM using a backup made with CWM.
I got the stock ROM again. Only now, neither the touchscreen nor the lighting Home, Menu and Back keys are working! Hitting the screen acts like hitting the Menu button!
I tried many ROMs, and it didn't work. Well, the good thing is that I still have root access, USB debugging enabled and CWM 5.0.2.8 recovery.
I'm really desperate. My phone is out of warranty. Is my phone really as useful as a brick, now? I hope it isn't. Can you help me, please? I urgently need my phone to work again because I can't afford to buy a new one or repair it! Is there any software that can bring my only smartphone back to life? Shall I switch to TWRP recovery? Which ROM shall I flash?
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
UP... (Since there was no reply for so long...)
I see, it is not a popular model
I found out that the problem can be solved by flashing the stock kernel which contains the original touchscreen drivers needed to make it work again, but I couldn't find the file. Can anyone upload it for me, please? If this is not the right way,
Does anyone have another, please? Thank you!

Flash everything ( including ROM , boot.img etc. ) created for your device . It will solve the problem .
As a warning, don't flash other device's firmware , until you became a porter or using an Android one :sly:
Hope I helped !

Only thing I can think of is install CWM another way, that is, a stock ROM with CWM built in (via Odin),
If your phone is AT&T (Option D preferably, but I hear downloads are hard to find as of late - unfortuanately I don't have a mirror for this one):

UPDATE:
What ROM are you going to? Did you disable Voodoo Lagfix? Are you going straight to Kitkat?
Try installing CM9 first if the last two answers are No and Yes, respectively.

Kitkat (even Jellybean) is often too much of a jump for a CWM of that vintage (unless you are lucky in disabling voodoo lagfix). Try flashing CM9 (this will upgrade your CWM as well). If you still get an error, you will need to OTA to Gingerbread first. This can be achieved by Odining one of the stock ROM's, first link in my previous post.

You can always ask around on the thread - sorry, I don't have any leads (I only downloaded the important stuff for the Rogers version, which will be no good to you).
Good luck though!
UPDATE: I just PM'ed everyone who I've recommended those packages in the past. Hopefully I get a bite.
