So ive been at this for about an hour now and it just wont work...
I am following this guide
http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/04/14/debrand-your-xperia-x10-tutorial/
and
http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/04/14/debrand-your-xperia-x10-tutorial/#comment-309
Both fail over and over again. I replace the newly downloaded file with the UK generic 020 file just as its about to finish and SEUS says updating... then install failed.. im running out of patients now!
Any suggestions?

Some have said that doesn't work any more. Follow steps 1 to 5 HERE to debrand, then run SEUS to update.

And when you get round to debranding it won't be as your phone is going to be flashed anyway. So as I said, run steps 1 to 5 from the newbs guide which WILL debrand your phone (UK Generic FW), then run SEUS to update to 026.
Then you can either use the one click app or THIS package to root, or just run the latter from the get go.

Hi,
Yeah even with the regedit!
I wouldn't be bothered doing this but my x10i was locked to Orange UK so I got it unlocked, still couldn't input the APN settings vodafone (IRL) sent as I get a blank screen when I go into 'Access Point Names', so I rooted it with the quick button root thinking I could then put the settings in but no, so now I'm trying to do this and if it dosen't work I'm going back to my plain and simple K800i lol.
Have you installed SEUS and run it?...
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.

Just to clarify, you put your phone into flash mode, ran SEUS, then quit before it actually installs?
When I clicked on install, it downloads that fast I don't get a chance to cancel! I mean it downloads in like 1.5 sec! I'm serious.
All I can suggest is that you browse the rooting threads for a solution to find your ID then.
Okay thanks for your help.
I just backed the blob_fs folder and then deleated
the original, and tried again as that way SEUS has to download everything and give me a chance to cancel, still didn't work though lol.
Thanks again, I'll let you know if I get it sorted or if there's an X10 for sale lol.
Roger.
I got this from one of the tuts on here and it worked for me. Connect your x10 in debug mode then download and unzip the attached file then run 'DeviceID.jar' .
Full credit to the OP of this (can't remember exactly where I got it )

What are you trying to do, just root your phone?
I never got root to work on the 1.6 AT&T, also tried Z4root.
The 2.1 versions are soo much better, why not just flash to the 2.1 world generic.

When you've run seus, did you also connect in flash mode? Installing and running the program isn't enough as it's putting it into flash mode that's the key.
Hello All,
I bricked my x10, and did a PC companion update repair. I also reformatted the sd card. However, now I cannot root with z4. It is stuck on " running exloit in order to obtain root access, or that it exits and when I try to go back into the program, it says that an unexpected error had occurred and need to force stop. Once its force stopped, I cannot go back into the program. I tried restarting the phone, but the same thing happened. I reformatted my phone and card two more times, but same problem exists. Please help! Thanks!

Try uninstalling it. Then, make sure you download it to the sdcard before you install it using Astro or equivalent. I had a similar problem when I tried to install it straight from dropbox rather than downloading it to the sdcard first and then installing it.
I hope you are not trying to root the latest Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 FW because that is not rootable at the moment?
how do I know if I have the Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 FW?? I went to 'about phone" and only see that the firmware version is 2.1 update1. is that the unrootable firmware? I also tried using astro to install it thru sd card but it still doesnt work..... maybe I should just root it with one click and not use z4 anymore?

Go to settings --> about phone and scroll down. It should tell you what build you have.
aiya... it appears that I do have the 2.0.2.A.0.2.4 FW. thats why z4root wont work..... is there a way that I can revert back the firmware? is this FW recently released? What is the advantage of this FW over the older version?? Thanks

Yes it is recently released. It is a minor update that fixes some bugs but, there is no official changelog from SE. You can flash back to older FW from here.

Third, go here to install JiT.
Each post has very simple instructions, so just read through them. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the help, but can I install xRecovery on an un-rooted phone? Because the xRecovery post says that the requirement is that the phone must be un-rooted .... do I still have a chance?

You can flash to an older FW from the link I gave you earlier in post #8. Use Z4root to root and then install x-recovery.

got it work by re-flahsing it back to the old FW. Didnt bother to update to the newer FW, but everything feels fine! Thanks everyone!
Do we need to re-root and re install all the apps everytime that there is a FW update? like re do the whole process when a new FW gets released??

seus is sony ericsson update service.you need to first download this from the se product site.Once you install and open this application on your pc,the rest of the work is very easy and explained step by step.go for it.another thing---in future before you flash any custom rom,backup your virgin 2.1 using xrecovery so that you can always go back to this opening condition when you are troubled by the custom rom you have installed.
do press the thanks button if this helps you.
Ok, sathkartha.
I'll try it and remember to do the backup. Was my first time and i forgot to do the backup when i remembered was too late.If it works i'll post the result here and press the thanks button.
Thanks
sathkartha,
so, I've made it and followed the intructions and the message that came up for me was:
"No new software is available for your phone. Your phone already has the latest available software isntalled"
Do you have any idea what I can do from now?
Thanks

should I downgrade to 1.6 to seus works?

Thanks for the print, but it doesn't appear for me.
I'll keep trying. Any result i post here.
look at the screen which shows to me
shuold i put some archive in /system or /system/bin?
I think I see what the problem is here:
miniCM uses a modified build.prop so that neither SEUS nor PC Companion update the firmware at any moment,that's why your SEUS says that it doesn't have nay new software for you.
I'd say that instead of trying to go back to 2.1, rather try to do a clean install of any of the custom ROMs, and please do follow the instructions to the letter, most freezing and rebooting in custom ROMs happen due to not doing a factory reset before installing them.
@Akath19 i understand. I would like to go back to 2.1, make a backup and then install a custom ROM. Because I've tried to install a lot of time the custom ROM and this problem keeps boring me.
Talking about build.pro... there is some solution for it? like change this specific build.prob for another one that makes SEUS works?
ohh
you have to flash with the flashtool
because seus or other software couldn't flash it
sorry

Go to HERE and download Flashtool 0.4.2.0, with it, you can root, install xrecovery and unlock bootloader, if you wish.
You need have android 2.3.3, and don´t downgrade kernel.
If you want, install stock firmware.
It´s easy.
right, so do i just click install recovery?
because i rooted it, exactly like that, im running busybox version 1.8.4 or something like that, someone told me it automatically installed xrecovery when i rooted it... is this true? thanks
When you root phone with flashtool, it just root your phone. For install xrecovery you need click on install xrecovery, and when it over, you have xrecovery installed.

Yes, you click the install recovery button. And no, when you root your phone, xrecovery is not added.
A little reminder also, you will never break the x10 by flashing to many times. So every time you run into something like accidentally downgrading kernels, just flash stock FW and start over. Again, the only true way for someone to permanently damage the x10 is only by damaging the USB port. So hold dear to that little port.
Hope you resolve your issue brah. Peace

Leave your phone unplugged from the computer when you ask SEUS to search for an update. Since it won't recognise the phone it won't find any updates and assume your phone it broken, so it will give you a repair link.

On the ICS kernel, only flash ICS-roms that state they need that kernel.
