Not sure if I have this in the correct section, sorry if i dont and please move to correct if not.
i am running a rooted with locked bootloader verizon r800x Xperia play with a 0.88 build number. My question is can i get on the 0.42/0.56/.62 builds. Ive notice that almost everything is built around those numbers and with having a 0.88 build I'm not sure if i can flash any of the roms or mods and i dont wanna brick my phone. i found a generic 800i ftf file for 0.42 build, I'm just not sure if i can use flashtools and run it on my phone and have it work. can anyone help and point me in the right direction on if i can change that build number so i can play with my phone. if i cant use that file is there one out there that i can use and could anyone post link with what i need. thank you to all answers in advance. I have rooted my share of phones, but with every new phone comes with new experiences and questions.
Firstly, this definitely should go into Q&A. On topic, and pardon the pun, there's a topic about this in the general section, but can't exactly remember which... just browse through the forums and try to find it. It's something that goes like "R800x service attempt".

r800x have only update to android 2.3.3 and you cant have 0.42 and next cause its 2.3.4.
Next: r800x is cdma version of XPlay and r800i, r800at... are GSM so u cant flash ftf for them cause ur phone can brick
There are no (i think) roms and sth like this for r800x sry
USA has 4g, other countries have 3g so sry, blame service providers from your country

As others have said before, This belongs in Q&A. But, on topic
The 4.x versions (i.e. .42,.56,.62) builds are R800i specific, and while myself and a couple of others (i.e. 216Monster) have tried porting them, we run into the problem of "Baseband Unknown" (Meaning that we cannot get cellphone reception)
The only way to get a new build of android on the R800x is to unlock the bootloader, then CM 7/9 are stable, and Sony Beta/any thing else based off ics are less stable.
To root your phone, check my sig for the zergRush link.

Thanks for the info. I was looking forward to playing with all the,roms. And mods that were out for this phone, but I failed to do the researh I should have done, and seen there was more then one model. Verizon has really screwed all the r800x users. Again sorry for posting in the wrong place.

After being part of the problem in cluttering up the Rooting threads, I figured that many people don't know where to ask questions.
GENERAL INFO:
Please direct all information-related inquiries to this thread for discussion.
The purpose of the current development thread is for developers to share information, the rest of us can discuss here.
For those that are unaware, "Rooting essentially gives you total control over the OS. You can add/remove programs/files from the device that are locked, flash custom roms, recovery images, themes, backup installed apps and lots of other things.
**EDIT**
Apologies on not updating the thread, as stated earlier...if anyone wants to edit this top post, just send me a PM and i'll amalgamate and post up.
FAQ:
What is ROOT?:
Rooting essentially gives you total control over the OS. You can add/remove programs/files from the device that are locked, flash custom roms, recovery images, themes, backup installed apps and lots of other things. (As Stated Above)
How do we get ROOT for the X10?:
There are alot of developers working on cracking the X10; Sony put a lot of work into locking the X10 down.
There are many ways to root your X10 now, and including several one-touch apps that will root for you.
Does ROOTING unlock my X10?:
No it does not.
I have an X10a (or X10i), can I use the X10i (X10a) method to ROOT?
Short Answer is no; the files are different. Don't be so lazy and follow instructions.
The ROOT didn't work, what can I do?
Here's the thing, if it's bricked/non-working...search the forums, chances are there's someone out there that has done what you've done and the issue may already be solved. ONLY POST A NEW TOPIC IF THERE IS ZERO INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR SITUATION.
When looking for info; here is a good place to start:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711969
Can I put newer versions of Android on my X10 after ROOT?
You sure can, but unless you know how to cook the rom yourself...you'll just have to wait like the rest of us. Keep your eyes peeled and wait for the good stuff to start popping up.
Thnx for the summary very much appreciated
Thanks for the update. Definitely making progress.

lets hope lollylost can come up with something
thanks a lot... for opening this thread...

Good job to the developers here at XDA... Now I'm crossing my fingers for a 2.1 Custom Rom with all the moxier stuff taken out as well as Timescape..
what and all can we expect from rooting ... pros and cons...
heard nexus got multi touch after rooting ...
is our x10 hardware capable of multitouch ?
anyway in general what can we expect ... features... you know while they are at work , we can dream of great stuffs to hit x10 ....
X10 cannot do multitouch, the hardware is incapable.
The main advantage root should give us is to be able to load custom ROMs onto the device, to get Android 2.1 now and 2.2 when it comes out.

even without true multitasking i would expect at least pinch to zoom. i have a feeling phone suffers from the same problem as nexus one, g1 and the sapphire. it can not distinguish the two sets of coordinates. it might associate thumb1's x to thumb2's y and visa versa. this does not allow it true multitouch but pinch to zoom would work since the motion is away from each other.

Hey,
Got a couple of questions I'm hoping one of you can help with.
Got an X10 obviously and access to EMMAIII. What I can do is flash the X10 with a very early release of firmware which has root access.
My question really is are there any custom ROMs available?

The only one is the one jerpelea made, which is still based on the stock 1.6 rom, but is rooted and has some apps removed. It's on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681886
When everyone has root access, developers will probably start trying to create a 2.1 or 2.2 rom if we have to wait untill after froyo is released. We could do this by looking at nexus one roms, and taking drivers from it - although the camera is different etc.
I've stickied this thread. Hopefully it will help users see it to stop cluttering of this forum

Wait a minute... With SEUS, we could downgrade our firmware, so if you upload your early release, we could maybe all have root access ?
It's just an idea...

You can't.
SEUS will flash only signed files.

Hello people, i created this post because i have some questions that are not answered searching on internet...
i need to know about basebands first:
I own a Xperia X10a. and i see that mostly ROMs are made with X10i firmwares. i read once here in a post that new firmwares dont "see" if the basebands is "i" or "a" but i know that basebands are related to driving the signal of the antena for example and is confusing... i see too that gingerbread 2.3.3 came with .71 baseband for x10i and i see on this thread that there are some basebands that are not clearly named.. some of them says "i" or "a" but some of them dont. so it is really confusing this kind of things i can think that the ones that are not clearly named ARE GENERIC... and what i understad is that firmware is related seriously to baseband but in development's threads A LOT OF THEM ARE NOT TELLING US ABOUT THE BASEBANDS FOR WHAT THE FIRMWARES ARE MADE FOR AND FOR WHAT PHONES: X10A OR X10I... i guess that this would be very interesting for people that is trying to customize their Xperia X10x to find in the main thread if that custom firmware can be used in X10a or X10i and exactly what combinations of that firmware and baseband works well.
Another thing that i want to mention is that in the development are there are a LOT OF THREADS that says "...STABLE VERSION..." and we can think "OH! i will find here a permanent and stable ROM" and when you are there in you see that CAMERA DOES NOT WORK.... can we use in the forum some special word for identify the REALLY STABLE AND PERMANENT FIRMWARE. those firmwares that are fully hardware working althought or that firmwares that are discontinuated but really fully working?
Sorry if i posted this on the wrong place, i just want to clear my doubts. lets talk about oall this please!
Hello. I came here from the Xperia X10 mini forum, because i just got a S2
Thing is i don't know what to do with it. With the SE it was different, I was a SE user my whole life, so I was up to date with how to do things on SE droids (root, flash with flashtool, etc.). But i have 0 experience with samsung.
I have:
PDA: I91000XWKE2
BASEBAND: I9100XXKDJ
KERNEL: 2.6.35.7-i9100xwke2-cl187606 [email protected] #2
It's running droid 2.3.3 and I cant update with KIES because it gives me windows encountered a problem etc etc... the old send dont send but on windows 7 (x64).
So I would like to flash it to a 2.3.5 rom and root it. Can anyone explain how do I do this? I don't know what and where to search because I'm new to samsung.
So far i have downloaded ODIN 1.85 and a found this "GT-I9100_OXA_I9100XXKI3_I9100XXKI3_I9100OXAKI3" file. What do i do with it? (also explain steps plz).
I never had a smartphone in my life before I got my SGS2, and I managed to flash all the ROMs without creating threads with questions that are answered in stickies. But maybe I'm a genius, not anyone can be one.
So, try here for starters.. or just search around.
install this kernel and read all the texts.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
You should now be root and have cmw recovery, and you can flash pretty much any rom you want.
Not to familiar with teh sony's but i assume you had clockwock mod recovery?
Odin to flash, cf root to flash as kernel to allow root and get cwm, cwm to flash a custom rom as a quick guide on what to search. Generally reading around will help.

Ty for the reply guys. Really apreciate the help and am reading everything you posted.
But 1 thing: witha ll respect, stop acting like I'm using up your personal space, I opened this thread for a reason, because i dont understand sh!t, and reading wont help unless i start to read the very beginning.
When i was at the Xperia thread, i used a program called Flashtool to flash a new generic rom to my X10 mini pro. It also updated the baseband (and basebands where important when i flashed a custom ROM, you needed to have latest baseband and kernel to flash X,Y,and Z custom roms).
I just want to update to the original samsung 2.3.5 ROM with odin (as kies sucks and wont work) and the rest will be easy. Don't want CWM and root yet, just a plain stock 2.3.5 rom. I just wanted to know if i can flash THAT file (first post, long text) to my phone with ODIN.
Again, thank you very much for the support, and will continue to read everything you guys post here.
It's easy to say search for this and search for that when you know exactly what to search for. In my case, I dont even know where to begin. And i would like to finish this "job" in the next 2 hours, as after that its time to sleep :/

No offence mate but when I moved from an HTC to a Samsung based device I was a newb then to, coming from another phone to different methods to another new method I got to grips with everything just reading around.
To answer your questions, yes you can flash a stock rom using odin, all you need is to check out intratechs thread in original development section, as of now KJ3 is the latest 2.3.5 firmware, download a frankenstein version and read his thread which had a guide on what to put where.

Your original post mentioned you wanted to root it hence I gave you the easiest way of doing so is to flash cf root, searching cf root would have given you that thread plus instructions within that thread.

well i flashed that rom i pasted there and it worked. Was simple once i knew i need to put that in PDA and start it.
Yes i know about CF root and will be my next move. Thank you so much for everythingyou posted (again). And will REread every post again for extra knowledge. Need to forget everything i know about SE and learn new stuff.
Hello all,
I'm trying to get a working version of CM7 on my girlfriend's phone and tried the following versions so far:
cm-7.1.0-RC1-Cooper-KANG-Grif_07
update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-GalaxyAce-KANG-AXEL
both have one deal-breaking error on her phone: DATA is NOT working, wifi instead is fine!
I tried to flash her original modem from one of the threads here too (DXKPD, South-East Asia) and entered the correct APN setting for her Operator manually but DATA still not working.
Is there any way to make CM7 work on Indonesia's Indosat Network or do I have to flash back to stock ROM?
Please help fast, she's bugging me already and wants to have her working phone back ;-)
Thanks a lot
Is it any fashion or something as all posting question thread in Dev section
Apply apn manually
Still not happen then use ddkq5 baseband as work always fine for me
Not know any other baseband
How to fill apn
name of apn-
Apn-
&
Authentication type-none
Just fill only these things
In my experience, it's never a good idea to "modify" someone else's phone/pc etc: he/she will always blame you when something is wrong, even if is his/her fault or lack of knowledge.
So, get her phone back to stock is my advice.
Btw Pal, why are you postin here? Moderator should move this to general.

You may have mistaken this site for Samsung Support. It isn't.
Folks on here help out of a sense of community, they don't get paid for it.
The person you just told to feck off is very knowledgeable and answers a heck of a lot of questions nearly every day.
I am on the same T-Mobile UK network as you and have downloaded from here the very ROM you are looking for, although that has been updated since them. I could easily do the same search on here and point you the link, but would you know what to do with the file? Or have you already fully read the Odin flashing instructions on here?
My first time here was with the HTC Compact III, I read for at least a week all the stickies at the top of each section. When I was sure I wanted to flash a rom, I read and re-read the thread and was as well prepared as I could be.
I am deeply indebted to all those developers and the more knowledgeable on here, who turn my phone into something very special. The least I can do is search before I ask, because nearly every question has already been asked.
i know what to do

The BOKE3 was the origonal firmware for the T-Mobile UK SGSII.
BOKF3, BOKG2 and BOKK1 are revised firmwares.
The stock kernels are there if you have rooted your phone with a CF-Root kernel and then reflash with the stock kernel to get rid of the warning triangle at bootup.
The one you are looking for is not a T-Mobile UK ROM, but rather a Samsung Stock ROM for Europe. Flashing that would invalidate the phone's warranty (if you had to take it back to service). That said, that ROM is really old. For newer versions of Samsung stock ROM then look * HERE *
you are good
