Reread the guide carefully, and try again.

hello friends I have read all topics and I have tried everything, when I run the regedit in windows and put "Vid_0fce & Pid_adde" I do not see the DeviceInstance try putting "USB \ VID_0FCE & PID_ADDE" and I do not see anything I have Windows 7 32bit everything I've done with the phone plugged into debug mode but nothing that I get something, and when I run the file if you put nothing opens and when I plug in flash that I close the program

You have to have SEUS installed and PC Companion.. run it through PC companion once. Then do the regiedit thing.
To put your phone into flash mode, turn off the phone completely, then hold the back button and connect the phone through USB to the computer.
(when you do this, make sure PC companion is NOT running)

[Q] Stuck at step 6 noob rooting guide

Hee fellows i have a little problem while routing my xperia x10i
i'm following a nice guide from synlar it's called: Newbies Guide to Rooting X10 and giving you the newest firmware!
"Note: This next step can take a while!
Open step2.cmd, don't press anything!
On the phone, a list of buttons will come up eventually. Press the 6th option (something about update from SDcard). ONLY PRESS IT ONCE!
Leave your phone alone. Go to the washroom or eat a snack.
You'll see the progress on the phone screen, as it installs the package. Leave everything alone."
im getting an error about that my device cant be found.
check image:
can't upload a picture of the error something with newb user
- I changed the device id in the text file
- tried it on 2 different pc's
and the flashing worked great i put the phone in debug mode i see in the left corner an exclamation but it won't work
please help me
hey try this its the only thing i got to work it was fast and quick and all you need is x10root.apk,
Win 7 x64
AT&T Xperia X10a
I was trying to root my X10a, using the one click method (X10Root.1.0.8.apk), and got hung up when trying to side load the app. ADB nor SWM could find the device. I finally got ADB to find my device. Here is how I got it to work.
Xperia- have debugging on
- have titanium backup free installed
- have busy body free installed
- do NOT mound SD
- have allow mock locations on
- have stay awake on
PC- have pc companion installed BUT terminate the process
- have the android sdk installed. (when installing I just installed everything)
- have android-sdk_r07-windows folder in C:/
- I changed the folder name above (android-sdk_r07-windows) to sdk
- have X10Root.1.0.8.apk file in C:/
- if google calander sync installed exit it.
With X10 plugged in and all above met.
Open command prompt
Type or copy and paste(if you changed folder name) cd C:\sdk\tools
Hit enter
Type adb kill-server
Hit enter
Type adb shell
Hit enter
Type adb install C:\X10Root.1.0.8.apk
Hit enter
Now the app should be on your phone. I hope this helps some AT&T X10 owners out there. Everyone keep up the good work.
thank u for ur reply im going to test it tonight when im home from work
Will let you know

I would now just run SEUS then the One Click Root. That guide only gets you to 023 so when you've run steps 1-5 your phone should have been debranded, so running SEUS will update you to 026.
so according to your post i have to connect phone then update via seus, and then what i need to download apk en how do i get that working on my phone
thanks for reply

Need some help guys!

hello friend, Raj here.
I have been using the X10i since past 6 months. I bought the phone my UAE & i am presently using it in India.
1) Is there any firmware upgrade available for my phone?
My phone info says-
Model - X10i
Firmware - 1.6
Baseband version - 1.0.14
Build number - R1FA014
2) My phone does not have the Android market application inbuilt in it! how & from where do i download that app?
3) How do i install applications downloaded to my computer from Android market, to my phone?
4) I am not able to access Calender since it requires me to log in to my Gmail account. everytime i try to do that, it says "error, try next time"! is there any way i can start the calender without registering?
Thanks.

Hi.
Yes there is, considering a lot of us are running R2BA026, that should give you an idea of how far behind you are.

Click to expand...

Personally, I would debrand and update your handset with UK generic FW, which will give you the Market app, which will answer question 3, and as you need to register for the Market to use it, that also answers your 4th question.
1) Install SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service).
You can get it from here: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1275980198/Update_Service_Setup-2.10.6.21.exe
2) Run SEUS, follow the prompts. You don't need to update the phone through it, but get the phone ready for updating. This process should install the drivers necessary for the rooting process.
Note: I suggest you keep your USB cable attached to that USB port. Remember which USB port of your computer it's attached to, as changing USB ports can lead to a bit of confusion for the next 2 steps!
3) To check if #2 was successful, click on Start, click Run, and type: regedit
In the Registry Editor that pops up, click on Computer, press CTRL+F, and search for this: USB\Vid_0fce&Pid_adde\
After it's finished finding, on the right side you'll see DeviceInstance, then it says REG_SZ, then it says something like USB\Vid_0fce&Pid_adde\5&270d2a78&0&3
You'll need that last bit (in this example: 5&270d2a78&0&3 Yours would probably be different). This is your DeviceID (you'll need it soon!)
Note: You may have multiple of these if you plugged the USB cord into many USB ports on your computer. Each USB port will give a different DeviceID, so if you have more than one DeviceID, you'll have to choose one, and if it doesn't work (you'll find out when you reach #5!) you will have to choose another one.
Alternatively, download the file in the next step and extract it, go to the folder called 1st, and run the DeviceID.jar file. It should give your DeviceID
4) Download this:
http://filevo.com/1nlq8wryo11u.html
or from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/404363083/i_R1FA16_ft.rar.html
Extract it.
In the step1 folder, you'll see a file called DeviceID.txt
Open it up, delete whatever's there, and put YOUR DeviceID (that you found from the previous step).
Save the file and close notepad.
Note: Make sure there are no extra spaces or lines after/before the DeviceID. The ONLY thing that should be in the file is your DeviceID, NO SPACES/LINES (for example, only this: 5&270d2a78&0&3 [yours will probably be different])
5) Take out the USB cable from your phone (leave it plugged into your computer)
Turn your phone OFF
Open up step1.cmd (it's not inside the step1 folder, but outside it), but DON'T PRESS ANYTHING
Now we have to put the phone into flash mode. This is how you do it:
Hold the Back button on your phone, and while holding the back button, insert the USB cable into the phone.
A green light should come on the phone (like when it's charging or a missed call)
Quickly "Press any key to continue..." in the open step1.cmd window.
Let it finish what it's doing. It will say "Press any key to continue..." after it's finished. Until then, DON'T touch anything!
If you get problems in this step, refer to this post:

Here's a helpful video for common java issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713457
After completion, this will give you a Generic X10i R1FA016 firmware (check it by pressing the left button, go to settings>about phone and at the very bottom under build number)

It isn't, but if want to use the Market you are going to need a gmail account.
I tried using SEUS but failed at step 2 itself!
It says press back button while inserting USB cable in phone & keep pressing back button. i did the same & waited & waited for 5 minutes, but no response!
then my finger started hurting & i had to abort the process! does it take so long?

You're not doing it right, should take about 5 seconds for seus to recognise the phone. Try again.
Sorry for the back-to-back posts, but can i update my phone country to India instead of UK? i think Indian X10s do get Android Market. Since i am using the phone here in India & in future would like to get this serviced in india itself, i would prefer my phone to show India in country!
It honestly doesn't matter. I'm in Canada but I'm using a Latin American firmware. But yes, to get it serviced I guess you need it. How about asking someone with the Indian firmware to dump it for you?
That is precisely the reason i am looking for the indian version instead of UK.
None of my friends have a X10 & strangely, even google dint yield any satisfactory results.
I will opt for the UK update only if Indian update is not available.
Also, i am still not able to open the calender using my gmail account. evertime it says "error! try again later" !!!

so did you manage to update to a newer firmware yet? you said a while back that "holding the back button" did not work. You need to have the phone off before you do this step.
1. turn phone off
2. connect usb cable to phone, but not to pc.
3. open SEUS and get to the stage that it says waiting for phone connect.
4. press and hold the back button (which will power your phone on in flash mode) and connect the USB cable to pc.
SEUS should now say "stop pressing back button" or something to that effect.

Nothing like this happens in my case. Dont know whats wrong!
Guys, i managed to install Astro File Manager over the air! i did install a few apps to my comp & then to my phone using AFM but not all apps are available to install on the comp! thats the reason i needed Android Market on my phone.
Also, i dont understand why i cant register to google through my phone as i have to use the phone calender.
Guys, it re-installed SEUS & it detected my phone but i again failed! i am dumb!!!

Can you clarify, did you get into flash mode for it to install the drivers?
I re-installed SEUS. then I started SEUS, switched off my phone for 30 secs, connected USB cable to computer, then connected USB cable to phone while pressing the back button & kept pressing the back button until the phone got switched ON.
then SEUS asked me to open Notification bar & turn ON USB. i left the back button & did the same. then the screen showed "X10i connected" & your phone is up to date!
then i tried whatever you had mentioned but it was of no use as mentioned in my post above.
Also, SEUS detects my phone only 1 out of 5 times. the remaining times, it takes soooooo long that i have to abort the process & SEUS hangs!
Also, i have noticed that in my SEUS, in the phone models where you have to select your phone, there are two options, both which look like an X10 with names "X10" & "SO-01B". which one should i select? i tried with X10 but failed. then i tried with SO-01B & it dint detect.
You problem is that seus is not detecting your device..
Soln... User a laptop with win xp or vista or 7 32 bit...
Do a complete uninstall of seus. Clean the registry of any seus entries..
Reinstall seus..
Use a different usb port.
Now try..
The device is an x10 unless you your it from japan which if the case is then it is the so-o1.
If you want dump of indian firmware I can help you but I dont think a dump will be of much use to
You..

yes, i would like to have the Indian firmware as that would make servicing my phones in India easier!
Can you tell me the disadvantages of having the Indian firmware when compared to the UK one?
I read that even Indian firmware has Android market & even India is getting a upgrade to Android 2.1 along with UK.
I tried using SEUS with different USB port & my phone was detected but again i found no DEVICE ID! the same thing happened which i have written in Post #14.
Is there any other method to find DEVICE ID? i even tried this-
Alternatively, download the file in the next step and extract it, go to the folder called 1st, and run the DeviceID.jar file. It should give your DeviceID

[Q] x10i 2.1 Nordic issues trying to re-rom

Im having some issues with my x10i that i put Nordic 2.1 on a few weeks ago.
Some apps fail to open every now and then, and the stock android alarm doesnt work (the app seems fine, but when the alarm goes off there is no noise, yes ive tried volume etc, yes ive tried downloading a 3rd party alarm)
So id like to put a fresh 2.1 rom on, ive tried these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825675
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827065
But i cant get them to work, the .bat files of the flasher fail at the connection stage (2nd step after selecting windows vr)
Im having a lot of problems,, main one is that i cant install the driver for the x10 in flash mode, windows cant find the driver.
If anyone could kindly tell me exactly what i have to do, starting from connecting the x10 to a virgin win xp (no drivers installed for the x10), id be happy to donate $20USD into your paypal account
Ok let me see if I can help you a title here....
1. Root your device using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=453551&d=1291188836 its really simple and fast...
2. Once you've root your device use this application http://www.mediafire.com/?ewf9e41ybw2eazz
to install the Xrecovery menu on your phone... It's very simple as well....
3. Download this file http://hotfile.com/dl/87564842/7e80127/SE_update-shipped-full.zip.html
and save it to your SD Card into any folder you want, I recommend you to do it in a new one with any name you want, that will make easier the next step...
4. Reboot your phone and right after the white letters with Sony Ericsson logo appear press the back key a few times , if the Xrecovery menu has been installed correctly you will see a weird image of and Android with troll face lol... and a bunch of options like reboot, install update zip etc....
5. Choose Install Custom Zip and then go to the folder you created with the downloaded zip file... from step 3... Then select it and click in yes... Wait for a few minutes and when the phone tells you done click on reboot and wait for the firmware to load...
6. Enjoy the SE 2.1 firmware with JIT enabled.
7. Read your inbox...

Put XP in safemode, run seus, put phone in flashmode when prompted so it installs the drivers, try the flashtool again, while in safemode on XP.
Or if you'd rather go for something simpler.. try rooting (if you haven't already) then follow this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828163 to flash to global generic.
i cant even get the phone to tunr on atm, but if i get it to work ill send $20 ur way jimbo, thanks everyone
jimbo, actually your links are broken so i cant follow your guide cause u just say "use this application" - but link is down
ok, i found a new link for that one, but i cant install it cause when i connect my phone to the pc, it just starts charging, it wont mount the sd??
"If anyone could kindly tell me exactly what i have to do, starting from connecting the x10 to a virgin win xp..."
ok i put xrecovery on the sd card through a pc, installed the app and ran the app, clicked Install Xrevovery, error
already have root access, xreovery was granted superuser, but doesnt work
tried the new root app just in case, it just switched off my phone... none of this works
does anyone live in Sydney and can do it for me????
Have you installed BusyBox too?

[Q] Updating from SE PC companion after 2.3 :$... rooting issue

Hello everyone..
Yesterday, I found a new update at the PC companion about the google maps and I downloaded it... After that, my phone gose into endless loop :$
I solved this problem by using the SEUS.. So, now my x10 is at version 2.1
So far so good
The problem now is when i try to upgrade it to 2.3 as in this form (which I did it before) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908791
the BusyBox said that the phone is not rooted.. So, i try to root it again using rootmeand SuperOneClick.. But it doesn't work any more... it only stuck at the "waiting for device" and never end.
Does anyone have any idea to how can i root again the phone?
Also, I noticed that when i start the phone after shunting it down.. I heard a sound like when you shutdown the labtop by force by pressing the button.. "tick" sound :$.. Is it normal thing ?
The "Waiting for device" error indicates an issue with your drivers. Try another PC or reinstall PC Companion.
Or try to enable USB debugging.At least that solved my problem.

"Hi! I had the same problem!
1. Search and download from this forum Flashtool 0.2.6
2. Install it.
3. Download from this forum one generic ROM (for exemple X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897 )
4. Put the file in directory Flashtool/firmware
5. Launch X10flashtool.exe
6. DO NOT PUT THE USB CABLE IN THE PHONE
7.From option "flash select the desired ROM
8. Wait the program to begin(a picture will appear)
9. Pressing the back button, insert the usb cable.
10. Wait the flashing to begin and release the back button.
Follow instructions and WAIT around 5 minutes until flashing will complete
11. Send me two words if it helps you! Success!"
It was different that my problem, but i give it a shoot
and it's WORK... and i get 2.3 back ^.^

[Q] X10 Mini Firmware

I need to flash my X10 Mini, but I can't find the firmware for It anywhere with a working link. Anyone that still have the file and willing to share?
There are only plenty of links to sites that are down
I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.9-robyn on the phone and then afterwards it just won't start anymore, so i need to flash it and then use SEUS to restore it.
UPDATE!
I found everything and fixed everything I needed by just flashing It with a stock kernel.
Just use the Repair option in Pc Companion.

I'm not looking for how to do It..... Read the question before you post. I appreciate you trying to help, but at least understand what the question Is first.
I'm looking for the firmware for the flashtool so I can flash my device (.ftf file)
They guides that teaches you how to fix a bricked phone got links to megaupload (that got shutdown not long ago) and multiupload (also got shutdown) for the firmware I'm looking for.
If you can't turn the phone on, then flashtool won't help you. You have to able to turn the phone on to get to download mode for flashtool, or Pc Companion, or SEUS to do their thing.
If your phone doesn't turn on, you've got a hard brick. Which is bad.

No, it can be a hard brick, he didn't do anything to put his device in danger (from what he claims).
He just needs a stock .ftf file for mini, which I was planning to do in the past, but did only for the pro... I am sorry my friend... There is only one solution -to make the ftf file yourself, which is something very confusing and you are going to need another mini to do this. But don't get your hopes down, it is possible, at least...

The phone it self comes to a point where there is some light on the screen, but i can't see the SE Logo anymore. I can charge the phone without problem from what it looks.
If I can get hold of another mini how can I make the ftf?
What did I do to achive this problem??
I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.9-robyn and it ended with a phone that got stuck during boot. Then I got to a guide where someone said "Hardreset the device and use SEUS", but SEUS always says that my phone has the latest software.

As far as SEUS is concerned, you DO have the latest software. It just doesn't realise that what you have doesn't work. Select the option to reinstall the software.

Only one problem here, I don't have the option to reinstall the software at all after it says that I already have the latest software.
Can it be that the option is no longer there depending on SEUS version?

There is a repair option in PC Companion, see it, please! The repair option on PC Companion is Support Zone --> Update --> Repair.
BTW, to hard reset :
1. Turn the phone off
2. Press the POWER button
3. Press and hold home key aprox 3 seconds
4. The hard reset is starting.

I will try that thanks, but you need to hard reset before the repair with PC Companion?
I managed to find the stock kernel so now I'm starting the device, but I get a SE logo and then It shuts off.
One problem when I try to repair on step 2 (prepare step) I get a error unable to start or phone update update components. (the pc companions is installed with the newest version)
