Hi all

Which method it's better to get this update with less disadvantages (Nordic flash or debrand my phone because if am debrand my phone am will get 2.1)
**I hope to install costume room to my x10 coz I saw some screens shoot with custom room n I like it so much but I don't know how to do that so just put this in ur mind when u give me an advice
Absolutely am will root my photo when I will get V2.1
Thanks for answer
** am sorry bcoz i know there r many posts for debranding n nordic flash but i don't know which one i need to choose.

WHY DONT YOU EXPLORE XDA A LITTLE BIT
My suggestion is to speak with sony ericsson support fist everybody should have 2.1 it smells to me a corruption!!!
Try to reinstal your compansion!

if not then
1) Are you in guarantee
2) Are you in pay mounthly
3) Do you prepare for a little bit of fun!!
so read this article
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793
If I were you I would download GLOBAL customization there are not different in those os . there should be more language there. For arabic have look on the xda developers websITe
so is this
http://hotfile.com/dl/83531781/35219..._x10i.rar.html
Firstly
download
http://hotfile.com/dl/83531781/35219..._x10i.rar.html#
unzip
check if in the firmware file there is a files
look for bat file or jar and run in administrator rights
follow screen instruction!!
if ask for phone connection
Turn off your phone take of battery wait 20 second and then press and hold back button and in the meantime connect usb. phone will remain off there will be only green led DO NOT DROP BUTTON when you connecting then the GREEN LED LIGHT THEN DROP button if you have any further question dont hesitate to ask!!

HTC Hero Recovery

Hi guys and gals, I am new here at these forums. Well, not really. I've been reading the HTC Hero section of this forum for the past few months now.
Anyway, I am planning to get a HTC Hero, and am also planning to flash it with modaco's custom ROM. I was wodering, if anything goes horribly wrong with the flashing, is there a way to reflash the stock ROM? Like the iphone - you can have it completely messed up but get it working again through DFU.
Is there such a thing as DFU mode or similar on the HTC Hero?
Thanks.
First post.
Carefully execited and no need to worry! The latest Amon's recovery is fantastic. More importantly your sd partition is inbuilt.
This recovery is a "benchmark". I followed >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543571 but surely other members will also give you helpful advice.
Furthermore also have a look at using iskoot for skype since you are a three user. The thread is within Dream application section.
3 UK users should change their APN to 3UK instead of three.co.uk for avaoiding everlasting wait when browsing Hotmail. It works!
Okay, so if I understand you correctly, you can recover your hero if something goes wrong via fastboot? So for instance, If I break my SD Card and delete system files on the hero, is there a way to enter DFU mode by pressing a combination of buttons?
Thanks for the 3 UK APN Settings. Im gna use the hero with 3 PAYG.
The process of rooting is five mins but unrooting back to what it was could be longer and perhaps boring. Unless there is a warranty issue no need to worry.
Longest process is reading and understanding. Start with latest Android SDS and place the folder anywhere where you can access easily. I hav it under C drive.
Have a look at the wiki at the top of Saphire forum which is a bank of information.
PS: 3 payg sim will work to use free skype (iSkoot) even without any top up!

First You have to root the phone, and after that install xRecovery, which will allow You to flash new ROM. I won't help You with choosing ROM because I'm X10 user

[Q] Return to original xperia play

Hello!
First of all, sorry for my english, I´m Spanish.
I have a Xperia Play with open bootloader,CWM,Gin2JellyBean and DoomLord Kernel but I have a lot of problems with the phone.
Have problems with touchscreen when writing or playing, gets stuck. The letters pile up and the phone did not take all when I enter a message.
Sometimes it does not work the touch, but it happens rarely.
The battery does strange things.
It consumes too fast sometimes (10% in 10 minutes now) or say a low % and increases gradually.
Today for example is off the phone and turn it on only had 30% battery when off before was 100
I want to have the standard kernel and the original rom to make the refund in store.
I have the kernel (I think..) from here... really? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201725&highlight=original+kernel
But where I can find the official spanish rom for Xperia Play?
What can I do for restore phone? Flash Kernel first and flash rom after this?
For saying this is a question [Q], should it not be in the Q and A section? The Android Development forum is not the place for this...
On another note however, if you unlocked your bootloader through the Sony website then surely they will have it on their records that the device has been unlocked?
If you're set on taking it back to the shop then good luck, other than that you should consider buying a new battery and well as for the screen... My friend replaced their dead Play with a new (second hand) one recently and the protective cover applied by Sony had been taken off the screen. The screen is now about as responsive as a dead camel dried up in a desert. Doubt it's the same thing that's happened on your end, but its very strange for the Touch Screen to be working one minute and then gone the next..
Anyway, take a look here for a few stock firmwares...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399
Flash one of them, inclusive of the Kernel... All should be good to go... Then all you need to do is relock your bootloader...
Also, I thought the Spanish devices were the R800i's? Your link points towards FTFs and ROMs for the R800x.
Sorry ... I wrote QA forum when I saw that it did in the Development of but looks to press the button in the second ...
I do not want to spend more money testing if the battery or the screen does not work and the store where they sold me is second hand, have no data on whether or not it was locked bootloader.
2.3.3 should be fine?
First flash kernel, after 2.3.3 ?
And sorry for wrong forum.
EDIT: Yes, my device is R800i. Need to choose R800x roms?
Ok.. all done!!
Now testing if is my phone or the rom.
Thanks for your help!
I see you've been warned about where to post this kind of questions.
To go back to stock firmware, download the file for your device (Spizzy01 put the link in the post above), and flash it with FlashTool.
If you have no knowledge about how to do this, search the forum more about how to use these tools and what you need on your PC for this to work. This is a general question and there is probably a topic regarding how to do this.
In FTF file is already everything you need, ROM, Kernel and everything.
After that can lock the bootloader with another FTF specific, I think this is included when you install FlashTool.

[Q] x10 mini big problem

Hello, i really need your help to fix my x10 mini.So lets start...Yesterday i wanted to upgrade my x10 to android 2.2. Everything was going well , i rooted the phone, then i bootloaded the phone.But after bootloading there were no service. So i tried to run again flashtool and going to to flash mode (you know, when you need to turn off the phone and hold "back" key while plugging usb cable) and yeah in the middle of the flashtool process i pluged out usb cable and (while green led was still on) i pulled out memory card(don't understand why really -_-). So after pulling out sd card green led just turned off and thats it, phone died! i couldnt turn it on, when i charge nothing happends, when i plug in to pc nothing happends, and few times i tried to detect it with s1tool and restore but even when plug in usb cable while holding "back" key but nothing happends even if i wait holding "back" key for 10min.I dont know what to do my x10 mini just died with absolutely no signs of life.Please, I would be very grateful for your help.By the way i have old school x10 mini (not pro) so i cant take out battery
P.S. sorry for my bad english
If you can't get into flashmode you are going to have it JTagged at a repair shop.
And FYI: You should have relocked the bootloader with S1Tool as soon as you found out you didn't have a signal.
Secondly: Do NOT ever interrupt the flashingprocess...
I guess you'll have to pay for it to get back up and working.

how much do you think it will cost? anyway if i repair it should i try to upgrade again to android 2.2 or 2.3? because being stuck with android 2.1 is bull****, but after this i dont think i want to take that risk again.And im 100% sure after bootloading phone will have no service again and the only way to fix signal is relock with s1tool right? so would it be possible that after bootload i would upgrade to 2.2 and then use s1tool to relock bootloader and i would have service again? would it be possible? And again sorry for my bad english

You can actually upgrade to 2.2 custom rom without unlocking your bootloader. Only if the ROM you choose needs a custom kernel do you need to unlock the bootloader.
And once you've flashed a custom kernel you can't relock the bootloader, that will brick your phone again. Relocking the bootloader can only be done if you're running an original SE kernel.

I have no idea what it costs to repair your phone, never had to do that myself, and even if i had, it will be different from where I am to where you are (probably). As for upgrading: You set out to update your phone to android 2.2 so did you not already choose a ROM to put on your phone? All 2.2 ROMS run on the stock kernel. Look for CM6 ROMs in the x10mini development section (although most download links will be dead by now).
Or look for MiniCM7, you can still get the 2.0.7 version, which runs on stock kernel, from 2.1.0 it needs the nAa custom kernel (just click on the downloads link in the MiniCM7 posts and it will take you to the repository where you can download older versions of that ROM).
There is not much else available for stock kernel on the x10mini unfortunately, although pongnamu is working on a MIUI gingerbread version for stock It's just not available yet.
If anyone cares i tell you what heppend in last couple days.Well first of all i decided to buy new phone instead of fixing old one.I bought lg optimus l7.So anyway today i dont know why but i took my x10 mini to repair shop and i i found out that fixing x10 mini brick is cheap only 30LTL(about 11.5$ ).But i think its so cheap only in my country , if you live in USA ,UK or in any other country it may cost few times more(I dont know that for sure ) and if you send your phone to SE the price may be insane compare to mine.My advice to others who want to upgrade their phones OS, DONT DO THAT BY YOURSELF IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING! And actualy x10 mini is kinda outdated so if you want to upgrade OS for only playing newest games and newest apps ,x10 mini wont run them propertly so if you want only to play games and use best apps you should buy a new phone.
P.S. and again sorry for my terrible english

Thank you for the update. It is always interesting to hear about solutions.
And I agree with you, that users should be careful doing things they do not understand.
I always recomend users to read a guide 3 times before they start doing anything, make sure they know what every step is about and why it must be done.
And most important is to make sure what phone model they got, and make sure that ROM/Kernel is made for that model. :good:
Hope users can learn from your expierence. We should have done more to warn about "what not to do" and stuff like that :angel:

Just got my U20i back from jtagging (didn't have no repair shop at hand,so I had to send it in to a shop), I payed 30€ in Germany (would be somewhat about $40), plus shipping.
Next time I send it to your repair shop, seems to be cheaper even with double shipping costs :laugh:
I thought so ,in Lithuania stuff like that is really cheap if you compare to Germany,UK,USA etc.
