If you want stock like camera i suppose ArcMini would be a better choice, it's still based on MiniCM7/GB2.3.7, but with Sony Ercsson apps.

Thank you for those quick replies. After posting this question i've read some other posts. And I came across a post where its mentioned that Unlocking bootloader may Hard brick the phone. ( That'd be murder in my words.)
That post was for x10mini pro. Is it applicable for x10 mini too?

Yes, although it's very rare to actually hard-brick it.
If your phone is built before 11w29 (take off the back-cover and read the sticker), actually hard-bricking it is unlikely.
The only thing you have to worry about then is the simlock-certificate, if S1Tool says it's unrecognised it's going to be difficult, if it's SEMC simlock certificate, you should be ok.

It says 11W06 on the sticker of my cell phone. Does that mean there are no chances of bricking?

You can still brick it, but in the vast majority of cases, restoring to stock rom and relocking the bootloader will get you going again, which are things you can do yourself

I can use SIM provided by any network. My phone doesn't have any restriction. So that should prevent certificate issue right?

Yes, you should be ok. just make sure you check if you still have network-access after unlocking the bootloader, by booting up before doing anything else. If you get a signal, you can do whatever you please

Mehaboobmunna · Jul 10, 2012

After unlocking bootloader if I don't get any signal should I promptly go to back to stock ROM using PC companion? Or is there anything that can be done to prevent signal loss

. :screwy: :banghead: Excuse me if this question is too simple to be asked.

A: You unlock your bootloader
B: You start up your phone
If you don't get signal, relock the bootloader
If you do get signal: flash whatever you want.

Just jumping in this thread

I don;t really want to create a new thread.

I'm wanting to install/flash nAa Kernel but when downloaded I have 2 files; loader.sin and kernel.sin and meta.inf with an associated directory file in it.
How do I use these via Flashtool?

Rename the zip you downloaded to .ftf, put it in the firmwares subfolder where you installed flashtool, and flash...
(some browsers recognise the .ftf file for what it really is: a zip-file with a different extension, and automatically rename it when they download it, changing the extension again will make it show up in flashtool)

This is awesome. Before trying Gingerbread I thought of going with froyo I installed Remix V 3.2 coz I could do it using xrecovery. My phone went into bootloop :screwy:. I had missed a crucial step in the procedure. I found out what and it worked well.

Now i'm back to stock coz all gingerbread rom ask the phone to be on stock kernel.
Unable to download flashtool due to internet issues. As soon as I get my hand on that, i'll unlock bootloader and flash gingerbread.
I hope i'm on right track.

I don't want to murder this marvel and its Cam

Probably a corrupted download, like it says.

I downloaded the file from the same location. I even tried with 0.7.1.0 version. That too gave the same error.
