Xperia mini pro SK17i Root and update to android 6 - General Questions and Answers

Hello, sorry for my bad english, i'm french. I have recently bought a xperia mini pro SK17i.
But it is not rooted and my user experience on this device is too limited.
In effect, i can't use youtube, neither facebook, neither google browser (certificate errors appears)...
I wanted to root this device and update to android 6 with if possible keep timescape app, but i have never try it (root and installing custom firmware)
Please, could you explain to me different steps to obtain a root then a stable version to use this phone so pretty?
Thank you so much !

This phone is more than 10 years old. Don't think you'll find a Custom ROM based on Android 6+ for it.

I've seen also android lineage 7 above it but i'm totally noob to root and install a custom rom..

To flash a Custom ROM rooting phone's Android isn't necessary at all: what you need is to flash a suitable Custom Recovery at first thing of all things, afterwards flash a matching Custom ROM by means of the installed Custom Recovery.

This is not an answer to your question. (Sorry about that) In fact, I wanted to ask you a question. I have the same mobile with the same kernel build but I couldn't manage to root. I get stuck when I have to root using DoomLord's method. I am able to flash the 562 kernel but, my phone doesn't display anything after that. (The instructions say its normal as there is a kernel mismatch) but the batch file is not able to root as after flashing the "USB debugging" and "Unknown sources" is turned off by default. And I can't turn it on as my screen won't display anything. Any suggestions?

It is possible, you have to upgrade to ICS first, or if you like GB you can install Cyanogen Mod 7.

Should I wait Android 8 to root my S7?

Hello everyone my name is Ali and I am new to XDA. Hope this forum will help me to increase my Android knowledge.
My question is simple. Should I wait Android 8 to root my S7 or should I root my S7 now? Thanks in advance.
Hi. I am also new. In my opinion, rooting now or rooting later will depend on what you want to achieve. I rooted very recently coz I want to gain more control to my phone and I want to try the new roms available here. If you root later, then there is a possibility that the new rom (assuming that you would like to install a custom rom) will have some bugs. So it will take a couple of updates to stabilize it.
It's really your preference but Android P is much different than 7.0/7.1. It has support for multi-screen devices as well as foldable displays. Also it will have hidden control of signal strength show controlled by the carrier. Developers will eventually get in there but if you want to enjoy root I say root now. There's loads of stable stuff for 7.0, even Xposed is operational on 7.0 and 7.1.
I'm using stock S7 rom. (exynos) But i would like to root and put Lineage OS. Because i live pure android. Is Lineage OS 14.1 stable for daily use?

Nubia M2 Custom ROM(unlocking, TWRP)

Hi guys,
I'm new here and I'm a newbie in those things, sorry
I'm planning to get an Nubia M2(it's on sale), but I don't like their installed Software. So, I want to get an Custom ROM on it. But on the Internet there aren't any tutorials for the Nubia M2. Do you know a way to unlock the Bootloader, flash TWRP and install a custom ROM?
Btw which custom roms are available for the Nubia? Maybe LineageOS?
Thanks for your answers!
unfortunately nothing so far ... i hope lineage 14 or 15 find the way to our forgotten device.
Nubia M2 roms found!!
Found three rooms for Nubia M2, on gizchina.it (ok, pages in Italian, but can be translated by google)
An enhanced version of original Nubia rom (Gizrom), a MiUI 9 and a ColorOS edition.
Tried all three, but went with MiUI 9 edition, which worked perfectly .
Check them out: rom.gizchina.it/nubia-m2-gizrom/
There are also instructions for installing TWRP and rooting. 100% success!!!

Meanwhile, you can not install the Nubia camera in Los 15.1 then the twrp is just suggested use the latest official twrp available on twrp.me site, I recommend you personally use the Ressurection remix is ​​much more customizable also if you have problems there are groups on Telegram for example Nubia M2 Italy where I am administrator and can help you and pass you the various corrections as well as a zip created by me with settings to decrease consumption ...
If you want to continue using the Nubia camera the only solution is to stay on nougat (Los 14.1 or carbon or other rom ...)

Thanks man. So how to solve it just update my TWRP to latest version right ?
In Los 14.1 can we use face unlock ?
Yes update your twrp and you will see that there will be no problems, while as regards the face unlock is not available in los 14.1 but only in los 15.1 or Ressurection remix 6 (8.1) this because in custom rom is a function reserved to Oreo

Lenovo P90 Pro - Custom ROM?

Hey guys,
is there a custom ROM with newer android for Lenovo P90 Pro?
I've been searching for a while now and I can't
find a custom ROM that is not just a modified stock ROM with android 4.4.4 (KitKat). The reasn why I'm looking for Custom ROM is because it could have newer android version. That would make this mobile phone pretty good because it's specs are really good and the only thing that bothers me is the old Android.
So if you have or know about a Custom ROM with newer Android then please let me know.
Otherwise I'll just upgrade to a newer and more popular device.
