yes its right, i had the same experience. If your phone has Root or Multitouch installed or other ROM although Froyo or Gingerbread, Pc Companion allways shows that there is an update. Just ignore it!

all things work with the new methods, I am rogers as well, and love the rooted xxxx23 rom
the updated rooting instructions on the main post are just fine. all u need to know before u start is that u should have SEUS installed, im sure u have becuase u've updated ur phone to --20. so to get it to --23 all u have to do is download the packets and follow the instructions closely and it shouldnt lead u astray . u should end up with a 23 firmware + working headphone jack + a phone that says its an x10A.
Love de tuts easy to follow

Headphone problem
Hi, I have the x10a rooted with R2B0023. I installed the market fix and now my music is always routed to the external speaker, never to my headphones.
Anybody has a solution?
Clarification ...
Hi Team / Board Members.
1st of all, thanks to all the developers / forum members for getting thru this rooting business and procedures.
2nd:
I read the procedures over & over again, and will attempt to "root" my rogers x10a phone tonight after work.
Just a few questions / clear-up required:
(1) I have updated my Rogers X10A thru SEUS to the following:
Model Number: X10A
Firmware Version: 1.6
Baseband Version: 1.1.25
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-rel / [email protected] #2
Build Number: R2BA020
(2) The main root topic, found with the title of [GUIDE] Root your X10 R2BA023 ! { Update 06.07.2010 Nicer Instructions }, it's updated, all the *.cmd step #1,#2,#3,#4,#5 is updated to reflect any problems?
(3) After going thru all the steps, my phone will have the R2BA023 build, with X20a model name & baseband will be updated as well to 1.1.26 /1.1.27 or so?
(4) Can this "rooting" procedure be completed on 64-bit Windows 7 Laptop system, I know I have to dedicate the same usb port for the entire rooting procedure?
(5) I typed the MMS/GPRS settings manually on a WORD DOC, and after ***sucessfully*** rooting, I just have to re-create the profile right?

I just went through the rooting procedure on my X10a (formerly running the 016 Rogers ROM). Everything went well.
As for your question regarding the procedure on a 64bit Windows system: just follow the guide here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713457) for getting Java 32-bit running on your system before you try the root. It works, and will prevent a lot of problems.
Otherwise, it's all pretty much correct.
Hey, thanks for the reply.
Just a few more questions that I have to ask:
(1) regarding the headphone jack, I am hearing mixed emotion regarding it doesn't work vs. it works after sucessfull rooting ....
what's the story with that and relation to the X20a that I have, not X10i?
(2) under the troubleshooting, problems, feedback on the rooting procedure, people are stating there is a problem with the accelerometer ? Is that true?
Since you have sucessfully rooted, did you experience any problems whats ever?

I tested this afternoon, and I don't have any problems with the headphone jack. My headphones worked as expected, as did my bluetooth MW600 (which I also tested just to make sure).

Hmm... haven't tested yet. Gimme a sec to load up Abduction!... Just finished the first level (I really wish I had backed up my games) with no issues, so I'd say it seems fine.
Thanks for confirming ....
I'll do the process and let you know how it came about.
Thank u all . So if I root my phone would it mess up the unlocking cuz I'm with fido and phone was originally Rogers

Nope. Unlocking and rooting are two completely separate things. You'd be fine.
No unlocking yet then

it will be in november
as reported by an official press on an italian android blog HDblog
sorry for my bad english at first , but i dont know how to update , they talk about ( xrecovery - wipe - Cyanogenmod - MiniCM6 ) but i dont know what all of that and i see on youtube but i try to restart my phone and press BACK button like they did in video but its nothing happen , its open normally , plz i need that so much by step by step plz
I think they were talking about the official update to 2.1, which you can get through the Sony-Ericsson PC Companion. There's no need to deal with xRecovery or miniCM. Just open PC Companion, connect your phone and it shoud check for updates. And then follow the instructions on the monitor
Hi guys. sorry for starting a new thread, im a desire owner, but my friend has just bought a x10 mini, it came with donut, am i right in assuming the eclair update is out yet? my friend is having trouble donwloading the update from the sony servers, when ever he tried it returns the error, could not contact update server (or somthing like that).
anyway my question is, is it possible to download the update from another source and flash it from sd? If so could someone give me a download link and also tell me how to enter bootloader ect on the xperia as i know nothing about it. your help is much apreciated guys
at this time there nothing like flash from SD for the X10 series!, the most easy way for your friend is install PC Companion on other computer and other ISP the try to update, also check if the update is present for that kit from the config menu.
U.K eclair should be out for most U.K mini's now..
If your friend is having trouble search the Mini thread for Bin4ry's Flashtool, you can download the U.K 2.1 firmware and install with his flashtool on a windows P.C
hope that helps..
Hello, i need help because my X10 mini and not light or the sony logo, wanting to increase the baseband but I put a want of x8, now I've done everything but does not work, sony companion and seus says I have the latest software, and install a version 1.6 flashx10 e10i (when mine was E10A) accept the installation but still does not turn, I'm really desperate, I can only enter the flash mode, but I can not do anything else, and angry While Sony does not want to update the phone (which is why I wanted to minicm) and those who create custom rom both have to be well received thanks but when help ignore a problem, please help nesecito now.
I'm sorry but I can't understand you too well have you got a white SE logo as you can hold back while off and in sues do a restore then you should probably debrand to get 2.1 for minicm

Use seus not pccompanion and just if ,,just ,,,read the forum you would know how to fix your self and not wast your time posting questions not being nasty but all the ansers are already in the forum ,ps seus and pccomanion are not the same thing,,,,,,,
Hello, i really need your help to fix my x10 mini.So lets start...Yesterday i wanted to upgrade my x10 to android 2.2. Everything was going well , i rooted the phone, then i bootloaded the phone.But after bootloading there were no service. So i tried to run again flashtool and going to to flash mode (you know, when you need to turn off the phone and hold "back" key while plugging usb cable) and yeah in the middle of the flashtool process i pluged out usb cable and (while green led was still on) i pulled out memory card(don't understand why really -_-). So after pulling out sd card green led just turned off and thats it, phone died! i couldnt turn it on, when i charge nothing happends, when i plug in to pc nothing happends, and few times i tried to detect it with s1tool and restore but even when plug in usb cable while holding "back" key but nothing happends even if i wait holding "back" key for 10min.I dont know what to do my x10 mini just died with absolutely no signs of life.Please, I would be very grateful for your help.By the way i have old school x10 mini (not pro) so i cant take out battery
P.S. sorry for my bad english
If you can't get into flashmode you are going to have it JTagged at a repair shop.
And FYI: You should have relocked the bootloader with S1Tool as soon as you found out you didn't have a signal.
Secondly: Do NOT ever interrupt the flashingprocess...
I guess you'll have to pay for it to get back up and working.

how much do you think it will cost? anyway if i repair it should i try to upgrade again to android 2.2 or 2.3? because being stuck with android 2.1 is bull****, but after this i dont think i want to take that risk again.And im 100% sure after bootloading phone will have no service again and the only way to fix signal is relock with s1tool right? so would it be possible that after bootload i would upgrade to 2.2 and then use s1tool to relock bootloader and i would have service again? would it be possible? And again sorry for my bad english

You can actually upgrade to 2.2 custom rom without unlocking your bootloader. Only if the ROM you choose needs a custom kernel do you need to unlock the bootloader.
And once you've flashed a custom kernel you can't relock the bootloader, that will brick your phone again. Relocking the bootloader can only be done if you're running an original SE kernel.

I have no idea what it costs to repair your phone, never had to do that myself, and even if i had, it will be different from where I am to where you are (probably). As for upgrading: You set out to update your phone to android 2.2 so did you not already choose a ROM to put on your phone? All 2.2 ROMS run on the stock kernel. Look for CM6 ROMs in the x10mini development section (although most download links will be dead by now).
Or look for MiniCM7, you can still get the 2.0.7 version, which runs on stock kernel, from 2.1.0 it needs the nAa custom kernel (just click on the downloads link in the MiniCM7 posts and it will take you to the repository where you can download older versions of that ROM).
There is not much else available for stock kernel on the x10mini unfortunately, although pongnamu is working on a MIUI gingerbread version for stock It's just not available yet.
If anyone cares i tell you what heppend in last couple days.Well first of all i decided to buy new phone instead of fixing old one.I bought lg optimus l7.So anyway today i dont know why but i took my x10 mini to repair shop and i i found out that fixing x10 mini brick is cheap only 30LTL(about 11.5$ ).But i think its so cheap only in my country , if you live in USA ,UK or in any other country it may cost few times more(I dont know that for sure ) and if you send your phone to SE the price may be insane compare to mine.My advice to others who want to upgrade their phones OS, DONT DO THAT BY YOURSELF IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING! And actualy x10 mini is kinda outdated so if you want to upgrade OS for only playing newest games and newest apps ,x10 mini wont run them propertly so if you want only to play games and use best apps you should buy a new phone.
P.S. and again sorry for my terrible english

Thank you for the update. It is always interesting to hear about solutions.
And I agree with you, that users should be careful doing things they do not understand.
I always recomend users to read a guide 3 times before they start doing anything, make sure they know what every step is about and why it must be done.
And most important is to make sure what phone model they got, and make sure that ROM/Kernel is made for that model. :good:
Hope users can learn from your expierence. We should have done more to warn about "what not to do" and stuff like that :angel:

Just got my U20i back from jtagging (didn't have no repair shop at hand,so I had to send it in to a shop), I payed 30€ in Germany (would be somewhat about $40), plus shipping.
Next time I send it to your repair shop, seems to be cheaper even with double shipping costs :laugh:
I thought so ,in Lithuania stuff like that is really cheap if you compare to Germany,UK,USA etc.
