[Q] Root and upgrading on at&t help PLEASE - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got an xperia x10a with android 1.6 from at&t. Ive read tons of threads on how to root and upgrade ect... I just want to know if i install the global generic 2.1 rom will it still work with at&t or is there some carrier setting that need to be installed?
Also it would be awesome if someone could direct me to a thread that explains rooting and upgrading with my current setup. none that ive looked at so far seem to be that clear cut mostly because there are old and new versions of the tools all over the place and multiple post containing the same things but with slighty different directions and some things im not sure i need.
i just want my x10 to be rooted and have 2.1 running on at&t. Im not a total noob i had an aria before i got the x10 that i rooted and flashed cm6 but that seemed much less complicated.
Thanks in advance for anyones help and i greatly appreciate all the hard work you guys put into this.

Here you are. Flash the X10a world generic. Download an app called APN backup and restore so you can save your APN setting (i.e. 3G settings).

For AT&T, the phone itself detects the settings. I'm on AT&T and I didn't have to put any APN settings after updating.

Check phone detail, sounds like you have GLOBAL GENERIC not WORLD GENERIC.
Global, X01i detects APN for AT&T auto. World (X10a) needs manual input.

Thank you very much for the help.

[Q] Anyone selling their X10i????

Hey guys. My X10i pretty much just stopped working. Im pretty sure its due to constant over heating which finally just shut it down. I've tried every way that I could find on the forums to fix it. New battery, SEUS, Flashtool, etc. None of it works. So I was wondering if anyone on here is currently trying to sell their used X10i, has to be the X10i, not X10a, since its the only one that works on T-Mobile USA 3G bands. Thanks for any help.
Report this on "sony erricson talk" they deny it.

CM7/Miui 3g not working Cricket flash

I recently flashed the latest AOSP MIUI rom from Comrom 2.1. I have a flashed cricket samsung fascinate and I was wondering why my 3g flickers on and off and refuses to work. If there is a fix for this, PLEASE let me know! Thank you
I have not verizone operator and my 3g not working
I flash CM7 from evil 3.6
I dont have drivers cm7 for xp/win7 for QPST!!!!!
HelPPP!!!
evil 3.6 i have not problem with 3g and drivers
Data does not work on non verizon phones when flashed to a CM7 based rom. And I believe JT said he wasn't going to do anything about it. And since Cyanogenmod will take over the builds, I doubt it will happen.
I back to the evil 3.6 and my 3g work good
I have non verizone operator
Alright thank you that's good to know

Just for clarification, I have a Verizon phone activated on Page Plus and data worked fine right out of the box using custom TouchWiz ROMs. Based on your response quoted above it sounds like my data should still work since I am using a Verizon phone and their network even though I am not a Verizon customer? Or is it more complicated then that?
I've just started looking into CM7 and MIUI and found a couple of posts concerning data access but wasn't clear on my situation. Maybe Page Plus hasn't been mentioned directly or more likely my search skills suck. Either way, thanks for any help you (or anyone) can provide.
I'm have same problem. I have cricket also and can't get 3g to stay on. even when i wiped and flashed another rom it still flashes on and off. i have to do a complete factory restore to fix it.

[Q] New to Samsung

I just gave up my EVO which I was a pro at rooting. I am totally lost with the GS2. Is there something similar to unrevoked.com ? Who are the more popular GS2 developers? I was a Fan of Virus Roms, MikG, and Energy Roms. Thanks in advance for your help.

Rooting the SGS2 is really easy, all you need todo is flash a kernel.
Recovery and the kernel are fused together, whenever you flash a kernel you are flashing recovery, so to get CWM you need a kernel with CWM.
No such thing as S-off (unlocked bootloaders woo!)
A good guide to everything, clickme
The modem is almost unbrickable (people have recovered form flashing a i9000 modem by just flashing a new modem)
You never need to put a .pit into odin or repartition.
The current ICS leaks are unstable and not really daily drivers.
Stock roms download links plus howto
Carrier branded firmware
Easiest way to root
As far as popular roms, poke around the original android section, pretty much all the roms in there are good.
My personal favs are in my sig
Thanks, a lot to take in. Ill read up.

So if I want to set up my phone like yours with the Hyperdroid...... is there an easy way to do it? I managed to root the phone, as I now have superuser on it. Not sure what I need, or dont need. I really would like the battery to display % like my evo did instead of the green battery.
Thanks again for helping a newbe out. Im sure I will love this phone..... Allready got 14MBPS download on 4g WOW
one more Thing, I have the Tmobile GS2. Will the hyperdroid work with this????
If I have a,rooted GS2, should I not upgrade software that Tmobile pushes to the phone?

Help Not Sure What I Did

I have an Note i717M from Bell Canada that I have unlocked and using t-mobile radios to work with Wind.
For the last two weeks I had nothing but great reception and no black outs. I recently installed Black Star since I tried that ROM I have had almost no connection. I re-flashed ICS Blaze radio which I was using on Stock and CM10 with no issues.
Now no matter what ROM I flash I can't get connected for more then two minutes.
Not sure if anyone can think of anything that might cause this.
I am convinced it's not the radio because it works with my rogers account just fine when I flash the stock radio back to the phone.
Also I can connect to Wind Away on the stock radio no problem and stay connected with full bars.
Could it be the kernel?
Got it working I had to do the full flash in odin each of the partitions. Something must have been corrupted pretty bad. As soon as i flashed all the stock partitions and booted up and got the ics ota. Flashed icsblaze and back to full connectivity.

It sounds like you just needed to add the right APN settings to the rom for it to work. If you decide to try blackstar again makesure to copy down your APN settings you are currently using.

I guess he used this rom to back to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657279
By the way, It's 2.3 stock.. not ICS.
Yeah I went back to bone stock.
Here is the funny thing I have 2 notes, 1 rogers, 1 bell. When I use the rogers phone on darkstar absolutely no issues.
The bell version, it completely knocks out the AWS radio that I use and I am not able to restore it for some reason.
I had to reflash all the partitions to restore it. Tried 3 times same result on the bell version.
Wonder what's different in the i717M vs the i717R

Unless you have a keen understanding of how to partition a device, dont try.
Rather, use Odin or kies to push the factory image to the device, and let it run the partition mapping for you. Otherwise, you can damage the device and brick yourself.
Read up on all things note, in the general section at the top. Use the "super thread" and find the issue you are looking for.
Also, you can general search for the answers, as they are covered in many threads in this section.....g
