Problem After Unroot - XPERIA X10 Android Development

Ok, I unrooted my x10a back to rogers R1FA014. I open SEUS and select update. The proper files download and begin to install. When the install bar is finished, it says update failed and leaves me with a snazzy yellow question mark upon booting. Does anybody know why it is not updating properly or how i can fix it?
Help is much appreciated, thanks.
Edit: also when i go to settings to check for software update, it says it is at the latest software, when it clearly is not.

Rogers isn't a big fan of ota updates me friend.

oh, well still i get the yellow question mark when doing the SEUS update.

Just try the whole unrooting process again. Are you x10a or x10i? Also, try PC Companion rather than SEUS. I've had issues with PC Comp, but found SEUS okay. It may be the other way round for you.

I have an x10a, and i've tried updating multiple times, but i'll try it again with PC Companion, never know, I'll let you guys know.

Tried updating through PC companion and SEUS again, many times, and nothing worked. Even had to reinstall the unroot package numerous times before the yellow exclamation mark went away.

if your trying to update to 026 for x10a, do debrand method with pc companion. blob files for 026 x10a generic are on debrand site. replace those two files right before pc comp finishes downloading. if u need help pm me

Help with unrooting x10 mini pro

I rooted my x10 mini pro using the exploid method to use barnacle wifi tethering and titanium back up to remove unwanted apps. A new software update is now available but i cannot install it because my phone is rooted. They say you need to use SE update service or pc companion to remove the root.
SE Update says my software is up 2 date and so cannot update using it PC companion also says my phone is up to date and when i try to repair ,it says could not download the update and asked me to check my internet connection. I don't understand this because I use the same PC companion to download everything else fine...media go, the update engine.
Is there another way to unroot the phone...i gather it is possible to flash the default u20i software back onto the phone.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated because as things stand I would not even be able to update to 2.1 when its released.
I also had a rooted X10 mini pro and I couldn't get the update without unrooting it. I ran Update Service and just like in your case, I got a message that my phone was up to date. However, when that message appeared, I could press "Install/Update" (don't remember what the button was called) in the bottom right corner of the screen. That reinstalled everything, root was removed, so I could update it and re-root it.

When I use the SE updated service it just says no new updates for your phone. The only button on the bottom right corner is exit. There is no option to install.
Just to be sure the se update service is a separate software to pc companion not part of it. I googled seus to find it. Just in case there is confusion, it also told me that it was up to date but I had the option to reinstall

Yes I know the Update service is a separate software to pc companion. I have a mini pro U20i and it gave me no option to reinstall only to exit the program. If the update service is the program with an icon of a phone with a download arrow beside it then thats what i'm using.
I am also having the exact same problem.
I cannot unroot my phone - and the SEUS just says I have the latest version installed and will not allow me to reinstall/repair.
Any other ideas would be appreciated!
I've had the same problem - rooted the mini Pro, then couldn't download the update and couldn't repair it using SEUS (saying I had latest version) or PC Companion (error with internet connection) and couldn't unroot it.
I've sorted it by using Omnius mentioned in another thread.
Register on the site and download the software and the ROM. I chose the U20i_WORLD_1_8_CDF1238_0199, which on a thread about changing the colour listed it as UK Black. It's a RAR with 2 files. I set the larger file to be Application file and the smaller one as the Customisation file.
Flashed it and it worked, back to stock without root. Took a while to boot from the SE logo, I thought I'd bricked it!
Downloaded the official OTA 1.2.A.1.174 and it installed. Going to test now, hoping that it may improve battery life, my only complaint with the phone.
Mine's a sim-free x10.
PS - It's still blue scheme, not black.

[Q] X10a not getting upgraded to 2.1 despite every effort

Hello there,
Ok this is frustrating me to no end. Months and months of freaking wait and yet i cant get the update.
I have an Debranded X10a (bought in Canada) that I am running on O2 UK network. I confirmed that X10a 2.1 update is available, O2 uk has the update out as well. The SI number of kit 1232-4507 is in the list (http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/) So theoratically I should be able to get it without a hitch.. right ?? NO !!! I have been trying on PC Companion and SEUS for the update but every time i get the same darn message "Your software is update" but when i check its always 1.6.
What is it in this sane universe that i am doing wrong that I am not able to update my Xperia X10. O2 update is available, X10a SI Kit number is on the list, SEUS and PC Companion tells me that 1.6 is the latest..i tried installig/uninstalling.. and deleting the DB.. but nothing
is it not possible to get the 2.1 update in an installable file that we can execute after downloading rather then trying to get it on the whim of SE or the career. its kinda frustrating that a simple OTA process is making me cry like a lil kid
Can any one help me ?
Please help
Im not sure what 1232-4507 is, but if that is a x10i firmware, and you have it on a x10a, it probably wouldn't allow you to update via SEUS.
If thats the case, a couple solutions here.
Change region code to the one in Canada, and update via SEUS.
OR
You could just use the flasher located in the android dev section and flash it to whatever you want without using SEUS.
Hope that helps.

You did use CDA and not SI when you de-branded?
Try reading out "Software Info" 1st 9 digits of Customization Version shows your CDA. Should be 1233-6929 for Rogers or 1234-4820 for World Generic.
To access Hidden Menu in 1.6 home, back, back, home, back, home, home, back
If that shows one of the above, suggest flash, or ignore above and just flash.

Oh crap, so it just got weired
So In model info it says: X10a and Country as ARGENTINA
in the Software info the numbers are 1237-1014 R7A
I am surprised cz i just did a complete install of the os from SEUS. it SHOULD have not got the Argentina version..
So thats that.. i m not on a world generic..
Also, tried doing flash from the other thread. But when i booth the phone in Flash mode, it will give me message "searching for xperia" and will go on to boot the phone normally... Tried installing the flash driver uploaded by Binary but no joy there as well..
i am quite stumped..

You have two choices. One is to search the forum for changing your FW signature. There is a whole thread about this. Another choice is to fight with the invisibility of your phone for the flashing software. I think, this is the driver's issue. In Bin4ry's post about the last version of his flasher check the "Problems" part. For more detailed things search my posts - I had similar problems and actually this part was from my last messages. I just used virgin clean computer (in SE terms virgin clean, it is pretty old one) that guarantied me from any driver's conflicts. And try to use old, non-GUI version. Some people had problem with it. One of the last post told that for non-GUI version you just need to reconnect your phone when it began to search for it. In flash mode, of course.
Can you point me to the thread... Firmware Signature change thread is no where to be found, I have been trying all sort of searches
Sorry for being such a Noob on this !!!
Re: Driver issues, I have tried a couple of things, Tried installing the driver, moved to another computer.. pretty much same result "searching for xperia"
Didnt use the Non GUI.. wasnt sure how to go about it... i got macs every where not windows PC.. which is a bit of issue

I have no idea what should you do at mac... But actually Android is from the same family, as mac os - bot are posixes. Android is linux, mac os is BSD. Possible, it is easier to try to find way in linux/unix forums.
In case of windows stuff, you need specifically flashing drivers for the purpose you have problems now. You need to install only flashing drivers. You can find them in Bin4ry posts. There he included a link to non-GUI flasher as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827065
If you have flashing drivers problem you won't able to use SEUS too - it will try to find your X10 too and will fail. I used another computer just to try clean Windows install - without any conflicting drivers and found right one (too old to know anything about this new stuff like PC Companion, SEUS etc). I can not guarantee the success, but in my case it worked.
So i finally cracked it..
For me, the issue was in the GUI version, i took a virgin computer, went with GUI.. same"searching for xperia" thing ..
i went with NON GUI... and voila.... it worked on first attempt.. had my phone humming to World Generic in next 20 minutes..
So yeah.. for some reason.. the GUI version didnt work for me on 3 different pcs.... also, used MAC OX10.6 with Parallel 6 to run the batch file.. not sure if it had to do somehting with the fix..
anyways.. to my next hurdle.. got all working.. but ..
So i Flashed my xperia x10a yesterday to 2.1.... after that... I am not able to change the keyboard to android keyboard .. its stuck on default..
Can any one suggest what can I do ..
While at it, I am looking for swype too... i know that the beta program is closed, however, was wondering if i root my phone.. can i just borrow Swype apk from some one on the forum and use it ?

(RESOLVED)my x10 mini is bricked! boot looping..

(RESOLVED)hey guys, i've been looking everywhere for about 3 days now and really don't know how to resolve my phone's problem. I bought the rogers e10a version of the x10 mini and really wanted to update my phone to the latest 2.1 version. As most of us know, you have to debrand your phone first as SEUS as well as sony companion will tell you that 1.6 is the lastest version. Anyways i ended up using the "build.prop.claro" file from skzBR from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820009&page=4) while debranding and re-used SEUS to upgrade the phone to 2.1. Now when i used this build, i got the a claro logo when i booted up the phone and i didn't ike that, so i though i could just change the the build.prop in 2.1 to the other "build.prop.vivo"... well when i did that i felt really stupid after since i then remembered it was made for the 1.6 os. So now my phone is messed up! all i get is the Sony Ericsson start screen looping over and over again.
The phone does go into recovery mode, but does not have root permission through ADB so i can't push the old build.prop.claro file back into the phones system folder.. The SEUS and pc companion programs do not work to restore the phone and give me tell me my phone has no new software to update with. Even when i try pressing the repair option through pc companion get that same message. I've tried numerous flashtools with different rom with .sin files and have has zero success. So i'm wondering if i do have a chance at this if someone has the .sin files from both rom descirbe in the link and i try reflashnig it with the latest flashtool or if omnius is my only choice here.. any help really appreciated guys.
Thanks.

RE: have you tried this
yes i have, the flashtool establishes a connection with the phone when i put it in recovery mode. When it says its flashing my phone, all ,sin files or a 2.1 generic rom seam to flash fine and whn done, it tells me " finished, now reboot phone", the phone is still stuck and looping. So i don't know if its because i'm not flashing the .sin files of the build.prop.vivo rom which i can't seam to find anywhere or what....

Hope it will help you.
i fixed it
I flashed the phone with 1.6 e10i firmware and the java flashtool and it worked. I then changed the build.prop file to a e10a file and reflashed. SEUS was able to reflasht the phone's firmware to 1.6 e10a and all is good now... thanks guys!

Hey guys,i got an x10i, wit 1.6 firmware and wanted to update to 2.1. I saw the option of update in the phone menu,so i tried it and it actually found update and downloaded it.but after the restart i got exclamation mark and no boot.the phone has no warranty so can i fix it my self?

Reconnect the phone to SEUS and run " repair " option, should reflash the phone.
Try taking the battery out first and let the phone set a bit, reinstall batt and see if she boots up, remember, 1st boot takes a few minutes after you flash new firm ware.....
Best regards,
Chris
I took the battery out long time ago.havent tried yet.One more wuestion.is there a recovery built in?or a factory reset?and how to fo this if i neef to.
Thanks a lot

Depends on where and how you upgraded to new firmware, if it was thru seus / pc companion, then you just have factory firmware, no recovery.
If you used the flash tool from XDA and picked the firmware on that page, and installed xrecovery, then yes you have it. Clear as mud, sorry.
IF you have to run the seus pc companion to " repair " the phone, you will have only factory sony firmware. You can search for the firm ware # and flash tool , instructions, root methods, xrecovery, all are on xda!
Hope this helps,
Chris
As i said i used the phone menu for this update.No seus,no pc companion,just update through the phone menu and wireless network.
i downloaded seus and and it sais:
Failed checking application versions, please reinstall the application and make sure you have the latest version
what is this now?
Any link for the right one?
Thanks again
try the repair option on seus, comes up when u first connect the phone to pc companion,

[Q] Flash X10a running x10i software back to x10a

Hi,
I flashed my phone from a Rogers X10a running 1.6 to nordic when 2.1 came out to get the update earlier. Now that the dual-touch update has come out I`ve found that I can`t update the software from my handset or my pc and am wondering if I can revert to x10a. A lot of the links people have shared in regards to this problem are outdated so it`s not really clear what can be done.
Whenever I try updating through my phone I get a message saying: ``New software available. Not enough memory, restart your phone before downloading.`` No matter how many times I restart i still get this message. Any ideas would be much appreciated
Thanks,

Unfortunately whenever I try to use the repair feature of SEUS or PC companion, it tells me that my phone doesnt have any software available and aborts the repair process. Is there a way i can flash to the latest rogers firmware?
Surprisingly, Rogers has the latest firmware:
