Im having some issues with my x10i that i put Nordic 2.1 on a few weeks ago.
Some apps fail to open every now and then, and the stock android alarm doesnt work (the app seems fine, but when the alarm goes off there is no noise, yes ive tried volume etc, yes ive tried downloading a 3rd party alarm)
So id like to put a fresh 2.1 rom on, ive tried these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825675
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827065
But i cant get them to work, the .bat files of the flasher fail at the connection stage (2nd step after selecting windows vr)
Im having a lot of problems,, main one is that i cant install the driver for the x10 in flash mode, windows cant find the driver.
If anyone could kindly tell me exactly what i have to do, starting from connecting the x10 to a virgin win xp (no drivers installed for the x10), id be happy to donate $20USD into your paypal account
Ok let me see if I can help you a title here....
1. Root your device using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=453551&d=1291188836 its really simple and fast...
2. Once you've root your device use this application http://www.mediafire.com/?ewf9e41ybw2eazz
to install the Xrecovery menu on your phone... It's very simple as well....
3. Download this file http://hotfile.com/dl/87564842/7e80127/SE_update-shipped-full.zip.html
and save it to your SD Card into any folder you want, I recommend you to do it in a new one with any name you want, that will make easier the next step...
4. Reboot your phone and right after the white letters with Sony Ericsson logo appear press the back key a few times , if the Xrecovery menu has been installed correctly you will see a weird image of and Android with troll face lol... and a bunch of options like reboot, install update zip etc....
5. Choose Install Custom Zip and then go to the folder you created with the downloaded zip file... from step 3... Then select it and click in yes... Wait for a few minutes and when the phone tells you done click on reboot and wait for the firmware to load...
6. Enjoy the SE 2.1 firmware with JIT enabled.
7. Read your inbox...

Put XP in safemode, run seus, put phone in flashmode when prompted so it installs the drivers, try the flashtool again, while in safemode on XP.
Or if you'd rather go for something simpler.. try rooting (if you haven't already) then follow this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828163 to flash to global generic.
i cant even get the phone to tunr on atm, but if i get it to work ill send $20 ur way jimbo, thanks everyone
jimbo, actually your links are broken so i cant follow your guide cause u just say "use this application" - but link is down
ok, i found a new link for that one, but i cant install it cause when i connect my phone to the pc, it just starts charging, it wont mount the sd??
"If anyone could kindly tell me exactly what i have to do, starting from connecting the x10 to a virgin win xp..."
ok i put xrecovery on the sd card through a pc, installed the app and ran the app, clicked Install Xrevovery, error
already have root access, xreovery was granted superuser, but doesnt work
tried the new root app just in case, it just switched off my phone... none of this works
does anyone live in Sydney and can do it for me????
Have you installed BusyBox too?

Hee fellows i have a little problem while routing my xperia x10i
i'm following a nice guide from synlar it's called: Newbies Guide to Rooting X10 and giving you the newest firmware!
"Note: This next step can take a while!
Open step2.cmd, don't press anything!
On the phone, a list of buttons will come up eventually. Press the 6th option (something about update from SDcard). ONLY PRESS IT ONCE!
Leave your phone alone. Go to the washroom or eat a snack.
You'll see the progress on the phone screen, as it installs the package. Leave everything alone."
im getting an error about that my device cant be found.
check image:
can't upload a picture of the error something with newb user
- I changed the device id in the text file
- tried it on 2 different pc's
and the flashing worked great i put the phone in debug mode i see in the left corner an exclamation but it won't work
please help me
hey try this its the only thing i got to work it was fast and quick and all you need is x10root.apk,
Win 7 x64
AT&T Xperia X10a
I was trying to root my X10a, using the one click method (X10Root.1.0.8.apk), and got hung up when trying to side load the app. ADB nor SWM could find the device. I finally got ADB to find my device. Here is how I got it to work.
Xperia- have debugging on
- have titanium backup free installed
- have busy body free installed
- do NOT mound SD
- have allow mock locations on
- have stay awake on
PC- have pc companion installed BUT terminate the process
- have the android sdk installed. (when installing I just installed everything)
- have android-sdk_r07-windows folder in C:/
- I changed the folder name above (android-sdk_r07-windows) to sdk
- have X10Root.1.0.8.apk file in C:/
- if google calander sync installed exit it.
With X10 plugged in and all above met.
Open command prompt
Type or copy and paste(if you changed folder name) cd C:\sdk\tools
Hit enter
Type adb kill-server
Hit enter
Type adb shell
Hit enter
Type adb install C:\X10Root.1.0.8.apk
Hit enter
Now the app should be on your phone. I hope this helps some AT&T X10 owners out there. Everyone keep up the good work.
thank u for ur reply im going to test it tonight when im home from work
Will let you know

I would now just run SEUS then the One Click Root. That guide only gets you to 023 so when you've run steps 1-5 your phone should have been debranded, so running SEUS will update you to 026.
so according to your post i have to connect phone then update via seus, and then what i need to download apk en how do i get that working on my phone
thanks for reply

This is the Easy stuff, you dont need root to go from 1.6 to 2.1
First go to the Sony Ericsson website and download two programs called Pc companion and Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS), located in support for X10
Then just install those two and follow instructions, you should now already installed the drivers for your x10 by going into flash mode
Now your Pc companion will alert you that there is an update for the x10. Click on that and just follow every step.
To Get 2.2 and over:
1) need to root - download either flashtool from Q&A thread or you can download SuperOneClick
2) Use either to root device - once rooted, reboot phone
3) Download busybox from the market and install
4) Once installed, your device is basically rooted and has xrecovery installed
5) you can reboot into xrecovery by tapping the back button several times when the sony ericsson logo has appeared
6) just install any of these custom roms available on this site and PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR EACH ROM
7) you may have to flash different basebands for different roms- i will not explain every single step because you can find out by searching and reading these forums
8) just install any rom and reboot DONE!!!
thanks for the help im just stuck on 1 little step i cant seem to get the semc driver installed. any suggestions im using windows vista

It should just try to autoinstall when you plug your phone into usb and connect the first time if your on stock ROM.

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!
hey if you cant get the computer to read it, turn off your phone, unplug usb from phone, hold the BACK button WHILE plugging the usb into your computer. Keep hold of the back button until the computer has recognised it

Was trying to Install Backtrack 5 on my X10 and followed each and every step VERY CLEARLY. I m no NOOB so I knew what I was doing.
I m on MIUI 2.2 and while starting the backtrack 5 I got an error which said
1) is ur phone root?
and asked
2) whether I got busybox
So I made a foolish thing of installing Busybox again.
(Somewhere I read that custom roms use their own busybox and there is no need to install other version cuz it leads to boot loop), and Yes the boot loop started on my phone with an error that System force close.
Now my X10 is not detecting my sd card, + Xrecovery is not opening no matter how long I press the back key, + The flash tool is not flashing any firmware to my phone saying TURN ON PHONE AND CHECK USB DEBUGGING IS ON., I turned it on, but it still asks me do that.
OVER THIS ALL THE BLOODY UPDATE SERVICE FROM SONY ERICSSON SAYS NO SOFTWARE AVAILABLE FOR UR PHONE.
If any one can help me how to flash a custom rom from COMPUTER
or If anything using terminal emulator
or how to make my phone read my sd card.
ANYTHING, ANY HELP IS VERY APPRECIATED.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
waiting for help as soon as possible

Yours is a very unique case. Try this to go back to 1.6. I dont know if it works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1103343.html

you want to repair and not upgrade.
repair will help you in reinstalling.... to 2.1
Hi, everyone I just joined this forum. I have X10i with firmware 2.1. While searching the thread i came acrosss terms like root, xrecovery, flashing, MT, generic etc. Can someone help me out what these terms mean. I wanted to upgrade my phone to gingerbread. Previously I am an iphone user So i am total noob to this OS and the phone
Thanks in advance
good get away from iphone
root--same thing as jailbreak
xrecovery-- a badass tool that lets you flash roms onto your phone.
flashing-- umm... it is like installing a modified version of even the legit version on the device
generic-- A product having no brand name or registered trademark
example= for device there is branded or non branded
branded means that a company like ATT or Rogers approves that firmware or OS version. So when you turn your phone on, you will usually see something related to them. like an animation of the att world
generic--- clean install. no company restrictions. just regular
ok links for all that crap above
2.3.3 firmware (does not matter if you download x10a or x10i)
Generic-----

As far is i remember phone was fully charged when i put it for update now what should i do. The phone doesnt restarts now and when I power up my phone only th egreen led blinks and it vibrates for split second than nothing I waited for it but the phone is not responding what should i do now
HELP NEEDED
to tell you the truth i dont know what SEUS is
i think it is for drivers or something but you should use PC comapanion for drivers
ok
use flashtool in the first link i gave you and download one of the 2.3.3 files
or use a 2.3.3 rom
and flash the sucker on
it should work
Try flashtool if doesn't work let your phone on charge for 1 hour and take it off try again whit seus should be good to go

Ok i will try that one too thanks alot lets see wat happens
ok tried that too nu luck
What should i Do now One thing more i was goignaround the threads looking for solution So in one thread it said that firmware can ber installed through flash tool 0.2.5
I tried that too and amazingly the flashing goes all the way to the end on 0.2.5 in the end i get the msg that flashing complete and remove the phone but when i remove the phone and turn it on it just vibrates and small blip of green flash led than nothing
What could be the problem
1. Download Flashtool from
http://doomlord.sylvester20007.com/x10/x10_gb/FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec.exe
2. Download the generic 2.3 ROM of your choice
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11038646&postcount=1
Personally I would get the Global version unless you can find your country specific one.
Global version download - http://www.multiupload.com/JEXUAHAZTL
3.
a) connect your phone to your PC, make sure it installs the drivers (if your Sony software is working it is fine)
b) Extract Flashtool into a directory you know
c) Extract the firmware file you downloaded. And move the ftf file into the "firmware" directory of Flashtool
d) Make sure your phone is not connected to the PC and is off.
e) Run Flashtool, click on Flash and select the firmware you have just downloaded.
f) It will give you the same instruction - holding the "back" key, (phone still off) connect it to the PC. If you did this correctly, the light will be green and it will start flashing your phone.
g) After it is completed, reboot your phone once or twice and check that it is working.
4. Installing xrecovery and rooting refer to instructions (you already have all the files from when you download in step 1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196808
Let me know when you have completed the steps above.
Thanks for advice downloading it now and going to try and will let now about the results

I have flash tool 0.2.5,0.2.8,0.2.9,0.3.0
Have tried them all only 0.2.5 goes all the way to the end but when i turn on the phone it only virbrates and green led flashes for sec than nothing
When you reboot is there anything showing on the screen? Sony logo...anything? If yes, wait it can take a long time for a new rom to install. If no, I think you need to revert back to the 2.1 rom, root and install busybox, superuser, and xrecovery. once thats done you can backup your rom and data so you don't get stuck updating or if you have trouble with a custom rom etc. Also I think your battery stats should be wiped using xrecovery, it sounds like SEUS checked this and the file said your battery was too low to continue the update. Here is a good place to start.

Try taking the battery out and then try flashing again. Which ftf file are you flashing or selecting in the flash program. You need to use at least a 0.2.9 version of the flashtool.... if you use 0.2.5 start with the 2.1.54 ROM first.
So I did something, turned off my phone, and now when I turn it on, it will show the Sony Ericsson screen then half a second of the AT&T screen then it will shut off and restart everything and it does this over and over and over until I take out the battery. I have a x10a running on 2.1 update and I have no idea what to do.
Sony Ericsson companion wont do anything to help me out by doing the "hold back button and plug in".... it says "update not available". Also my phone won't let me hard reset I really don't know what to do so can you please tell me something to do? I've been trying to fix it since about 3:00pm yesterday and its about to drive me crazy!! So please write back, Thanks!
Do You have root, xRecovery etc.? You could try to flash new ROM using flashtool (USB Debugging must be enabled)
