I downloaded fota.package and modded it so that it roots directly.
This Fota package is taken from generic UK (WORLD-1-8) Firmware.
It MAY work on other firmwares too.
Please notice that this will only work from a 1.1.a.0.8 Firmware. AND if you have problems with the FOTA it is 99% caused by deleted apps from your phone.
(Background info: FOTA is a binary diff. IF you deleted DEMO's etc. The diff is not right anymore and it fails. If you have this probs you have to restore the original firmware).
The Package contains a RootMe.bat. This will guide you through the process.
After the DebugMenu popsup. You have to choose Option 6 "Update from SD-Card" (ONLY HIT ONCE! It takes some time until the phone responds!)
After all is done you will end with a rooted new firmware
Okay here you go, lets test

You are the second one with this problem. Which is you firmware and from which country is it ? Maybe we have different rights of FOTA App (DMClient) :/ I have to check this.

Hi..
My phone is a O2 branded Uk phone...
Firmware is: 1.1.A.0.8..
Any ideas??
Yeah i have an idea. I worked much with my mini pro. and so i crossflashed the systemdir from mini. (To test some ideas for chrooting into froyo ) So maybe this is the reason for me the DMClient is allowed to copy over fota.pkg.
I think that it will work if you put X10 mini DMClient.apk and DMClient.odex into system/app (don't forget to chmod 644). I have to try but first i must flash to original 1.1.a.0.8 to try and i cannot do it now because my system is running some tests now.

Looks great, thx fpr your work. But befor I try I have 2 Questions.
You are from Germany, Bin4ry?
Are there any problems with the german QWERTZ layout, with this UK Firmware?
And is it possible to downgrade to 1.1.A.0.8 after flash this Firmware?
If you make a backup of your keyprint.xml
(located in /system/usr/keyboard-config/) before flashing, you can restore it, and then after you set your locale to de everythin should be fine.
I've done this with my hu qwertz mini pro after debranding and updating to the new fota fw.
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
Thx belovits. Will try it out.
But where can i find the DMClient.apk and DMClient.odex from the x10 Mini?
I have the same problem with "Failed to copy file from Sdcard"...
I get the same error:
"Failed to copy file from Sdcard"
How to get DMClient.apk and DMClient.odex from E10i
Msg from Binary to me:
You have to extract it from System.sin from E10i . Search for the Tar.gz magic numbers ( 1F088b or 1f8b08 [i don't know out of my head which is the correct one]) this magic numbers mark the beginning of the tar.gz part. You will find some of them. All are ramdisks , copy them out with a hexeditor and extract the archive. Then you get your files.
OR : Ask some E10i user to download them with adb

You may find the ConvertTools below.. This is just sick
Old way of decrypting ROM
Below is the guide to decrypting ROM which comes from SEUS. By following this guide, you will have your branded ROM decrypted as SIN files and later you can flash back the ROM to X10 with flashtools. So you can root and debrand all you like without worry because later you can flash your branded ROM back to your X10.
Tools:
jerpelea SIN Reconstructor
http://hotfile.com/dl/52847024/13749f6/SIN_Reconstructor.rar.html
Requirement:
Your Xperia X10 must have the any version of the branded ROM installed first. If you already rooted or debranded it, you must rebrand it with your ROM first. See other threads about how to achieve this. The SIN Reconstructor tools cannot be used to extract the tho downloaded ROM files directly.
Step 1. Getting the extracted ROM from SUES
Task: Getting the targeted ROM files ready to be flashed with SEUS.
Do an update with SEUS to get your latest branded ROM, and let the ROM to be flashed to your X10. After this you will have the two files in SEUS db ready and next flashing, you don't need to download anymore and SEUS will flash it directly for you.
Task: Installing the extractor files to SEUS
Inside SIN Reconstructor, you will find com.sonyericsson.cs.usbflashnative_2.10.6.24.jar in seus directory. Backup your usbflashnative.jar from your SEUS plugin's directory somewhere else first, then copy the com.sonyericsson.cs.usbflashnative_2.10.6.24.jar file to plugin directory and then rename to the one you back up just now.
Task: Extracting ROM with dump0
Now you create a file in SEUS root. You need to create a file name dump0, make sure its dump0, not dump0.txt if you create the file using notepad and rename it. The run the SEUS update again. This will reflash your X10 then afterward, you get a lot of sign and bin files in SEUS root directory. Then you move the file somewhere else first
Task: Extracting ROM with dump1
Same as above but now you need a file name dump1, and the file dump0 must not exists in SEUS directory. After you are finished with reflash, you will have a lot of sign and bin files again, then move somewhere else.
Step 2. Identifying the bin and sign files
Because the extracted rom files are named in number, you need to identify and rename them first. When renaming, you need to rename pair of sign and bin files to the designated name.
When making SIN files, you only need to create this file below:
amss.sin
boot.sin
dsp1.sin
recovery.sin
system.sin
userdata.sin
The rest of SIN files is the same with other debranded SIN files you downloaded before which are:
amss_fs.sin
apps-log.sin
cache.sin
fota0.sin
fota1.sin
How to identify is very easy, find the file and the rename
amss file size is about 15Mb
boot file size is about 5.1Mb
dsp1 file size is about 8Mb
recovery file size is about 5.4Mb and bigger then boot.sign
system file size is the largest
userdata file size is 4Kb
When you have all this pairs renamed, copy them to SIN Extractor files directory.
Then we need to recheck the rebuild.cmd against the sign file size. Guides taken from rebuild.cmd
Code:
@echo off
@echo sizes are adjustable for every sign file
@echo if your file size differs from mine
@echo adjust count= vith the value obtained from
@echo size of .sign file -17 and correct the value
@pause
@echo amss.sin
@..\tools\dd if=../files/amss.sign bs=1 skip=13 count=4074>amss.sin
@..\tools\cat ../files/amss.bin >>amss.sin
Meaning that if the amss.sign file size is for example 5017, then you need to change the count into 5000.
If you finished to this step, you have the you decrypted rom almost ready, all you need to do is copy the amss_fs.sin, apps-log.sin, cache.sin, fota0.sin, fota1.sin from other debrand ROM you downloaded.
Then you have your decrypted ROM ready. Mission accomplished
For those asking why dump0 and dump1 will create same files, except for extra 8699.bin and 8699.sign, i just recreate the dump guide, i don't know if you just do with dump1 straightaway will get you the same thing if you do dump0 and dump1. too lazy to test.
Both Dump0 and Dump1 present will work
i really dont gettin over it,
could you please be so nice and do the decrypting of my A1 ( Austria) files?
kind regards DAuL
is not that i don't want to help. but decrypting rom requires you to flash your x10 with the targeted rom first. which means i need to reflash mine and do the whole thing again.
which part of the process give you.trouble. i'll help you solve it.

It's here:
X10 Mini/Pro Root Method
You probably missed it because you thought it was about the X10 Mini/Pro. Actually, it started with instructions for using the new "exploid" root for the Mini, but then it was discovered that it also works (as is) with the X10.
The good thing about this root method is that you don't have to debrand or downgrade in order to use it. In other words, you can stay with whatever ROM you currently have and not have to lose apps, contacts, SMS, etc. But of course you can also debrand it and then root it if you want (which is nice if you want the latest firmware).
EDIT: Oops, MrKingLouie already posted the link.

yes, please!
i too have e10a and would like to have a step-by-step to get a pre-rooted rom installed....

e10 xrecovery on its way...
hello,
i have followed the xrecovery method for making a pre-rooted e10a compatible update.zip with xrecovery pre-loaded. many thanks to the users who have provided this forum with the tools necessary for me to do so. i can confirm that i am tethering from it with barnacle as you are reading this!
the bad/good news (depends on how you look at it): since the 2.0.2.A.0.24 e10a update method's data connection icons would show up but would *not* allow me to have a functioning data connection, i decided that i needed to make a system image native to the e10a, so i used my own firmware's 2.0.1.A.0.47 system.sin. this means that canadian users will soon have a pre-rooted version of the latest (at least my SEUS says it is) firmware for their region.
the good news: e10a users will finally have a means to root their phones after updating to the latest firmware (2.0.1.A.0.47), on which z4root no longer works.
just give me either 1 or 2 hours to get a howto up on another thread or (it's getting late here) 24h to 36h to sleep / perform my daily non-computer tasks and then i'll update this post with a link to my thread / guide.

ok try this
@watchyourbreath
for flashing a custom rom you'll need an already rooted firmware on your phone since you'll be needing xrecovery, if you have already xrecovery just download the update.zip from the thread i linked to in the previous post (second post on that thread), in xrecovery use the option wipe all data (factory reset) then use the option install update.zip from sd card
IMPORTANT: you should have the kernel that eclair uses 2.6.29 since my rom is 2.1 itself
that is for the pre-rooted rom
if you don't have xrecovery yet and don't have root, flash a 2.0.A.0.504 firmware (eclair) doesn't matter if it's not e10a ( read the thread i posted) then root it with z4root ( it's around the forums)
now for the jit an apps2sd part,
for jit you have to modify build.prop on the following parts
dalvik.vm.heapsize=30m
kernel.log=default
debug.sf.hw=1
and at the end of the file add this
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit
then extract the jit carpet from the atachements and place it on your sd card
then open a terminal and write the following
su
(give root permitions to terminal)
cd sdcard
cd jit
sh enable_jit.sh
then the phone should reboot and have jit enabled
on the apps2sd i can't help you because i havent tried it myself, because what i
do is remove the dop.iso file from the data folder with root explorer, that
gives arround 130 mb of free space also dop.iso is the option when you connect
your phone to install pc companion on the pc so if you already have it installed
there is no need for it on your phone
hope this helps

is it possible to use azuzu's newest rom (smalldevil) with this method of converting it to e10a 3g specs?
smalldevil: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903323
@ watchyourbreath,
I believe that would depend on whether the SmallDevil firmware is based on an E10i or an E10a firmware. However, you could try replacing my update.zip with his and using my guide for downgrading, etc.
If your data connection doesn't work when trying his update.zip, you might have a bit more luck using the .sin files from the guide posted earlier in this thread (the link posted before mine).
Good luck!
uriah
yep, its safe
@ watchyourbreath
yes, there is no problem using e10i roms, tried it myself while testing my tutorial for 3g/wcdma problems, since i belive most roms only replace the files that come in system.sin you shouldn't loose 3g, but if by any reason you do lose it you can do the flashing method in my first post link to get it back
PS: @ijama also, the file is located in /data, it should be there if when you plug your phone you get the option to instal the pc companion, if you only get conect phone and charge phone options then yep it's deleted, try searching with root explorer, it's in /data folder root
rom for a...
well upload some where your system.img...
and i can make one..
i don't understand, but i will do as i'm told once i do! do i need to get small tools installed and convert something? i'm kinda not a complete noob so you don't need to start from scratch...
and to clarify, if i can upload a system.img file for you, you can make a smalldevil rom for e10a?
clarification...
it would be possible.. so upload somewhere system.sin from your seus directory and i will do it..
is that ok?
sure is! i'm not home right now but i'll do it when i get home...

I tried both .apk and manual method, checked permissions, changed it to 777, but xrecovery still does not appear.
Is something wrong with bootloader in this version, or is there any other reason? How to handle the issue?

double check your busybox install and make sure you are using the old xrecovery 0.1 for mini (the new versions of Xrecovery don't support mini or pro)

I'm owner of u20i mini pro
Simply I do not understand many things here..
First of all I have v1.6 and what I want is to upgrade android version to use Skype and Trillian (IM client). So my first question is what is the most stabile firmware for my phone?Is there any newer versin than link in next sentence?
I try with this post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895370
The problem is that the link for Flashtool version for that firmware is broken. So just new version can find v0.28.
I downloaded system.zip file and extract firware folder to Flashtool folder. But when I click on flash and browse to firmware folder there is nothing! So what can I do?
What does it meant to decrypt files? Do I need to decrypt that downloaded files from system.zip folder (from folder firware)???
Is it enough to make just a "Bundle Creation" from advanced menu in FlashTool v0.28 and then continue from step 6 with ftf extensions?
Notice: My phone is rooted and I have a Xrecovery instaled and have a USB drivers for flashing.
My phone is now simunlocked so I can use every sim card. Is there any danger that after I flash my phone with newer android that it wil be simlocked? Sorry for stupid question..but I must to know.
So if someone want to help me I will be thankful.
Hello, so i need instal xRecovery on my phone, but it's imposible like i see.. When i try copy 3 files from sd card to system/bin folder it's says "copy failed". Okey then i try change permission on system folder, i'm press okey and getting this error: "changing permissions was not successful. please note that some file systems do not allow permission changes". So then i try use some apps like Mount system rw ant change it - didn't work.. Also im downloaded BusyBox instaler, but it's also didn't work, saying something about superuser(trying root with z4root - perment root but in progress it stucks..). Maybe someone can help me?
