Hi guys,
I recently saw happyandy93's posting about being able to flash his X10a phone running X10i firmware back to using X10a firmware. Here's his reply when I asked him how us mere mortals can do fix this as well. I've not tried this yet, but I he says this should work and it worked for him apparently.

yeah np.
if you want to post this in a thread that'b great i don't have tha much time but i'll quickly let you know the steps.
so first thing first head over to this site,
http://www.omnius-server.com/news_omnius_v0_03
make an account for the software and once the software is installed add your account information under "settings > server settings".
now thats the first step, the second is to get the correct firmware in your case it'b this decrypted rom:
http://hotfile.com/dl/43225669/598add6/a_WWE_R1FA014_DEK.zip.html
once that is downloaded extract the phone.zip and the android_xx.zip from that archive into a place where you know you'll find it.
head back into the software, and select identify, than follow the instructions it gives you. once it is identified, boot the phone back up into android. than click flash, choose the two roms:
http://img203.imageshack.us/i/flashy.png/
phone.zip goes into the "application box" and the android_xx.zip goes into the cusomization file.
hope this all works for ya, if you have any problems let me know.
-andy.

I for one would like to see which method he is using. Ive tried some others with no luck thus far.

search the x10 general forum, the method to do it is in there somewhere. next time please do a search =\
You guys may not know, but the method that was already on the forum did not work, because the files that were provided are outdated now.
This is the new method that works to rebrand your X10 either to X10i or X10a original firmware.
Ya actually there are two previous methods and neither of them work anymore due too, from what i understand, the latest update to SEUS. However the second link for the dowload via hotfile on this method is dead. I get "Error 404". Would appreciate a reupload.

Fixed link. Sorry, I just copied and pasted it.
Thanks pally777. I will be rebranding and then debranding with the correct firmware in the next day or two. This method essentially wipes you phone clean and then reinstalls, rather flashes the generic x10a firmware....right?

That's how I understand it. I've started up the flashing tool and it looks pretty straight forward to use, but I've not done this yet.
There is a risk that it may not work, but then it seems Andy has gotten it to work and it seems the developers doing the rooting are also using this tool.
Xperia x10i firmware?
Hi!
Pls, could you tell me where can i get x10i decrypted rom firmware?
Thanks a lot!
You can download them in this forum in the decryted x10 roms thread.

Thanks so much
Thank you soo much ! I had a X10i @ SO-01B and I can tell you it works flawlessly, you saved me money from going to a store and getting it fixed there !
Glad to hear it works! I will probably do this when the Android 2.1 comes out for our phone... otherwise, no point in me going back to X10a firmware for now.
Anyone who has done this, which files from the unziped Android and Phone zip files do you have to put into the Omnius application? Im assuming the .sin files are important, but what about the xml document file, update file, metadata movie file, and there is a .ta file in there too? Little more specifics before I attempt this please. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Ok it worked for me. After you're done and start up the phone for the first time it takes a while for it to get going there. I was getting a bit nervous (might have peed a little) but then it started up and ill have to admit I was glad to see the "Rogers" branded startup screen. Thanks happyandy and pally777. Most appreciated. Oh, and just get rid of all the panicy PM's I sent you
K. Now that ive successfully rebranded to x10a I get my rogers startup page and everything seems fine with the phone. However i was hoping to debrand again (with the right fw or course) but pc companion stops when trying to install the update service. I get an error. SEUS works fine however. Is it possible to debrand using SEUS instead of pc companion?
Glad to hear that everything works! I might do this when they release X10a Android 2.1, because I'm liking the X10i firmware for battery life. Hopefully, I can still follow this process then to re-brand!
As for debranding, I used SEUS and not PC Companion. If you follow the same method that Lollylost posted, it should work. Just that the folders you'll be putting the files in are found in the SEUS folder instead of the PC Companion folders.
Many thanks. I finally got to work and im happily debranded again with the newest X10a firmware. Thanks again for the help. One question though. When the 2.1 update is released will i be able to update now that i am debranded?

also you can update to latest R1FB001 firmware
Yes thanks again for getting me off in the right direction Jerpelea. I have successfully flashed R1FB010 to my X10a and it seems to be running fine. had to add the APN settings manually but no problem. Just curious if you have any way of getting R2BA016 (released in China), or have heard of anyone using R2BA020? Some are talking about it on some other forums, although there is some speculation as to whether or not it actually exists. Just curious

im planning on rebranding my x10 back to x10a. if i use this method will it delete all my info and data? should i back up my data? how do i back up my phone? thanks for the help, greatly appreciated!
Just got a Sony Ericsson X10 and it has Android 1.6. I want to upgrade to the latest version of android and want to enable features like multi touch.. How do i upgrade my phone? I dont know anything about android and most of the posts here have just confused me
Hi - and welcome..
Go to the Sony Ericsson website and download and install SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) to your PC..
Fire that up and follow the onscreen instructions (carefully)..
That will get you upto the latest version of the firmware for your phone..
It may NOT be the latest available firmware though depending on whether your phone is customised by a specific carrier/ network?
If it doesn't upgrade you then look settings and about phone then tell us the country and customisation info in there..
Good luck..
If you're feeling brave you can root it too.. and do a load of other stuff.. (took me a while to build up the courage to get into all that side of it.. but was worth it in the end, cos phone performance can be improved dramatically)!

Greets alamode, congrats on your new X10, and welcome to xda.
First off, it's great to hear that you have at least tried to find a place to start with your Android, and I know it can be rather daunting, as well as time consuming.
- If you're only interested in official Sony Ericsson (SE) Firmwares then you can just simply connect your phone to your computer after having installed PC companion on it
and follow the instructions. This should give you the latest official rendition of Android for the X10 which is 2.1 and includes dual touch.
- If however you wish Custom Firmwares which go well beyond anything that Sony could ever offer than I would recommend after having updated through PC Companion
(above) the next step is to 'Root' your X10 which allows you greater access and control over your device and the ability to 'Flash' (install) the many custom Themes, Apps, and ofcourse Firmwares(ROM)s

Thanks for the quick reply guys !..
Well yeah i heard that rooting/flashing your phone opens up a whole new world for you so im definately interested in that. i've heard Sony ericsson wont upgrade X10 to latest versions of android? Can we still update them after rooting/flashing our device?
Anyways ill update my device first from Sony ericsson then.. After that i'll have to root my device? Since i dont know much about rooting/flashing can someone just guide me as to what that is and what it does? Whats the difference between rooting and flashing?
And thanks guys you lot are helpful !

Um No...
Trying to update but keep getting this : unable to install or start phone software update components
Try doing a repair first then try the upgrade..
For rooting.. go to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906248 download Superoneclick to your pc and run it from there..
Rooting will give you access to the system files so if you start rooting around in there deleting things then it can be dangerous - but you can always reflash/ repair using SEUS.
Rooting will also give you the opportunity to install custom ROMS which you'll find on the Dev sub-forum.
Would also recommend that you install JIT once rooted, as this gives a big performance boost. You'll find that on these x10 forums too.
Alright.. This is so frustrating. Been trying to root my phone all night but not really able to get anywhere.. Here's what i did..
First i finally upgraded to 2.1.. I used another PC and somehow it didnt give me the error i was getting earlier at the other PC. Not sure what was the problem there.
After upgrading to 2.1 i decided to root. First i used the SuperOneClick file to root my phone. After rooting, I installed BusyBox and then kept installing xRecovery but with no luck. xRecovery would just not install !!! I coped the apk file and ran the install from the phone, I got the icon but after getting the icon when it comes to the installing part it just freezes and after a while i get an error which gives me 2 options, Either to force close or to wait. I tried the other method too, the pushing method using X10ModTool and that didnt work either. After lots of tries and after getting extremely frustrated i uninstalled the apps and tried to start fresh.. I unrooted my phone using SuperOneClick and decided to root using z4root. I got the icon in the menu for z4root and i clicked on permanent root.. My phone restarts but i dont see the SuperUser icon anywhere.. If i try to install BusyBox it keeps on saying that its trying to get information..
So, So extremely frustrating !
Oh and i forgot to mention that after upgrading to 2.1, my Phone seems to have become slower while swishing between screens..
Which build number version do you have as the Superoneclick is for 2.1.A.0.435 and 2.0.2.A.0.24.
2.1.A.0.435
Im just not able to get root access ! Ive tried X10 Flash Tool, Ive tried SuperOneClick, Ive tried another software as well.. I just cant seem to get the root access..
I Installed Root checker and everytime after i root i check and it says that you do not have root access.. :S
help !

Install xRecovery and then you can even upgrade your phone to 2.2 there are some good ROMS available on this forum, you can check this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=617
Thanks. Yeah i have xrecovery installed as well.
What is basically a ROM? From my understanding its a customized firmware? If so, Which ones the best at the moment? I cannot compromise on functionality (as in i dont want that i cannot use bluetooth/camera/wifi or some other feature because of the rom). So basically i just want a stable rom in which i dont have any limitations. Also what is the advantage of using another rom anyway?
Thanks !
Okay.. ran a few of those optimizations and stuff and the phone is running a bit better. Can you guys tell me what is a good Benchmark score for Stock 2.1 on x10? im getting 33.4 MFLOPS right now.. is that alright?
I still am experiencing a little stutter in the menus, so i installed LauncherPro and that seems to have taken care of it.. I dont understand why cant i get the stutter to go away in the original home screen?
Lastly, Another problem ive been having.. My mobile is connected via USB but instead of it charging up, It is very very slowly losing charge. It went from 95% to 89% in around 45-60 minutes. Whats that all about?

For me the best 2.1 ROM so far is bluesparks, it is very fast and stable. Everything works in this ROM.
As for a 2.2 ROM, i just love wolfbreak's CM6.1.3 v4.3. Everything works except for the camcorder. For getting the camcorder to work you can download video illusion from the market. The quality wont be as good though. However this ROM is just too good. Too fast and stable with good animations.

Yeah, that is the 2.2 ROM I was talking about. Make sure you install the correct one depending on your baseband.
In order to keep everything, make a backup of your apps using titanium backup. You can then restore your apps after installing this ROM. Thats what I did.
Wolfbreak has given another way here:

Sent from my X10i using XDA App
First, sorry if this has been asked, I actually did try to find the answer on my own but no I cant seem to find it.
1st: Should I upgrade to 2.2?
2nd: Are Froyo and MIUI roms similar or is one better than the other?
3rd: Are there any limitations? Such as something not working yet? Or have most major bugs been fixed?
4th: It's obvious this voids the warranty, if I need to send this thing in for repair, can the original OS be put back on?
From what I've heard 2.2 is alot better, and would most likely be welcomed, I just need my questions answered so I don't screw myself over before I do this.

1: its really up to you.
2: Regular froyo looks like stock android, miui looks more like an iphone rom. The speed and performance of the rom depends on how the Creator of the rom optimized it.
3: most things are working on most roms. On some, certain features like wifi, or GPS doesn't work, but those are mostly the roms that are in beta. I have yet to find any custom rom with a FULLY working camera.......
4: yes it can. You coould use pc companion, or SEUS, flashtool, and there's even a method to get back to stock with out using usb(if the ports broken or something...)
I switched to miui(based on froyo) because most other roms seemed kinda the same to me. Just remember to read the instructions before flashing a new rom, and check that you have the right baseband.
Happy flashing

Well the MIUI looks good.
Is there anything besides the camera that I should know about?
Also when you say not fully working camera, what do you mean?
Also my baseband says 2.1.55, so I'm assuming when someone asks for my baseband it's 55? So I need to find a rom that supports baseband 55 right?

On trips miui 1.5.5 which I am using, its smooth and fast, everything works except the camera (zoom + light not working). Its recommend to use baseband 61 or higher for best results, however I have heard of problems with 61 (but they were probably false) so I am using baseband 54, and everything seems to work. Not sure how 55 would work (and yes your baseband is 55) but you can try it, or you can flash a new baseband via flashtool.

Do you have xrecovery? That is very useful for flashing roms and such (but not basebands)
Once you have xrecovery, simply copy all of those files to you sd card, reboot, tap the back button when Sony Ericsson appears on the screen, backup, full wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe battery stats, flash the zip files in the order they recomend (you will need to flash the baseband patch) ect ....
To get it, there is a thread in the Dev section where you can download install xrecovery. EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
If you need any specific help with xrecovery, just ask

I downloaded the XRecovery Installer.
Busybox is installed.
But I get an error trying to install xRecovery, the sh command won't install says:
cp: can't stat 'sdcard/Android/data/com.zoz33.xrecoveryInstaller/busybox' No such file or directory
any idea whats wrong?
Edit: Oh I'm using the installer APK from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9561575
Should I use something else?
that happened to me the first time as well. you will have to do the manual installation as described on the xrecovery thread.
Can i use something other than root explorer thats free or do I have to pay up?
you can use any file explorer that can access the system partition, i will try to find an acceptable one now...
EDIT: File Expert from the market is acceptable
Ok I got it installed, it looks like sh was already there but I overwrote it.
I tried that thing you said, pushing the back button when I see SE, but it didn't do anything.
Hmm it can be a bit trickey sometimes... just try again. Power off/hold down power button till it vibrates/as soon as Sony Ericsson appears on the screen repeatedly tap the back button (with the arrow) until you get to the xrecovery screen. Goodluck

Still nothing.
Going to try downloading flashtool, says if I reinstall xrecovery from it I can boot directly into it.
That was my next suggestion... once your in flashtool, connect your phone then Ask Root Perms then press the xrecovery button and it should install it. Then you can press advanced>xrecovery>reboot into xrecovery or use the back button method.

Hi guys,
Firstly many thanks to slade87 and all those involved in the making of the above mentioned rom. Finally got it woking on my phone and am loving!!
Sadly, I have a problem, and its probably something stupid ive overlooked. When im on the marketplace I can see the apps fine if I manually look in the categories, but searching for anything, even by the exact name tells me that no such thing exists in the marketplace!!!
Any ideas.

Cyanocomb is a good choice
froyoCM6 v6.01+hotfix to 6.01.2 by madbulls is also a very good rom
even better would be to try the gingerbread roms
there's 3 of them currently and all 3 of them are very very good for usage too
Now using cyanocomb 1.4, battery life was a bit of an issue to begin with but has much improved with a little messing around. May try further roms, only gripe is the symbol key not working, but the softkeyboard takes care of that after a fashion!!!

Actually, he didn't like the answer I gave him in this thread, because instead of handing him the answers on a silver platter I provided him with a link and told him to use the search engine. So he's looking to you to give him the answer, instead of taking the time to read the sticky I provided him.
It's your decision as to whether you want to help him, and how much you want to help him. But whatever you do, encourage him to read the friggin' sticky, so that he has a fighting chance of fixing potential problems that may happen in the process of rooting.

So what did I do wrong if my streak is getting the failed install Status 7 error?
Someone says to just let the phone startup but mine gets stuck and stays at the Dell logo.

I tried again and still get the following...
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot")
E: Error in /sdcard/GS2_3beta2.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
So I don't know what I am doing wrong. I copied the amss and dsp1 files via fastboot and did the factory reset. but no dice.
I was on just the GingerStreak but it had a couple random restarts and is unable to install some applications to the SD card. Could be an SD card error so I will check that real quick.
Might go to one of the stock roms since I am too dumb to figure this out.
broerman2003,
Thanks for the offer. I'll take advantage & ask a quick question.
Under "About Phone" what Baseband Version is reported?
After amss & dps files were added my info is "Unknown."
Cheers

That is exactly how it should show up after flashing the AMSS and DPS, so everything worked perfectly
I've just posted in the dev section, please help

ok. what recovery flasher are you using to flash this rom with. I personally use clockworkmod to flash mine with. if you are using this as well let me know and ill tell you the steps i used when i installed mine. also if you do have an extra sd card try swapping it out with it and see what happens. if not try formating sd card in the settings of your phone.

hey sorry it took so long to get back to you. ok on my streak it says Baseband version is GAUSB00000. not sure why yours is says unknown but this baseband version mine is saying looks a little odd anyways cause i know the last 2 numbers (00) means unlocked version and of course im sure this rom is based off of a 354 or higher baseband and i dont even see that in the version code so im assuming this is a generic made up baseband that was written up in the build prop. hope this helps you out!

Fards said in his thread repeatedly that after flashing the amss and dps your baseband should show up as unknown.

huh yeah i seen that but mine seriously does not say that. it says what i posted above and i know for sure i flashed the amss and dps he provided otherwise it would not have been running properly. I've been on 2.3 for 2 weeks now. Does anyone else have what i have or does theirs say "unknown" also?
Apart from the odd reboot and opera browser constantly crashing my 2.3 install runs fine. Dont suppose anyone knows how to fix the opera crashing issue ?

Thanks but if you mean the flashplayer fix method it doesnt work, tried deleting and reinstalling multiple times aswell as factory resets. Same thing with opera crashing every time.
