The USB connector on my phone broke a few months ago and since then I purchased a charger for the battery itself. Today I tried flashing a ICS rom and kernel(via recovery) and now I can't get it to fully boot. I can't seem to access recovery either and I have no way of connecting it via USB. Is there any way I can make my phone flash from an image on the SD card so it's usable?

Info:
Factory Unlocked SK17i
Clockwork recovery
It was rooted
I have a nandroid backup of the firmware.
The bootloader isn't unlocked.

Kernel needs to be installed also via fastboot, Recovery can't install kernels. Also kernel installation requires unlocked bootloader.

Install stock ROM back.

xperia mini pro

hy.

My problem is that I bought a mini pro. I liked it, nfs shift it ran without any problems, do not faltered. Then I let the Sony Ericsson to upgrade the software.
here the trouble begins.
slowed down the telephone, 3d display out of order.

I can root the device but unlock botloader allowed: no
so my guess there is no way, could be restored, which would be a good firmware.
someone could help me? I would appreciate it.

Doesn't matter what you do, kernels cannot be installed via Recovery. Not at all on Androids.

I would like to see one thread confirming that kernels can be installed via Recovery.

There is no 3D display on Mini Pro...
You can root indeed, make backup of the ROM and throw out some garbage from the phone. Stock phones have always quite a lot unneeded stuff.

I removed about 100 apps with Titanium Backup from my stock LWW firmware.
