Just an addition for New Year's Day.
Since the last firmware, is not yet been rooted, i followed zdzihu's method and made a rooted firmware with xrecovery already installed.
I haven't tested this one (as i only own an X10 mini) but it should work.
It is based on 1238-3147 Generic from Phillipines.
In order to install this firmware, you need to install xrecovery first.
Also if you have already flashed with 2.0.2.A.0.24 through SEUS, please downgrade!
Requirements:
DOWNLOAD>>X10 mini flasher
DOWNLOAD>>mini pro.tar.bz2
You will also need an X10 mini pro rooted with xrecovery installed
Instructions:
1. Download and unpack mini pro.tar.bz2. It contains 2 files: update.zip and 2.0.2.A.0.24FlasherFiles folder
2. Copy update.zip to SD Card
3. Copy 2.0.2.A.0.24FlasherFiles folder inside the flasher's folder.
4. Boot into xRecovery and install update.zip
5. After finish flashing update.zip, pull the battery off the phone for 20 seconds and then put it back (in order to turn-off phone without rebooting it).
5. Open flasher and press "Flash" tab
6. Choose "2.0.2.A.0.24FlasherFiles" and flasher will show "Searching for Xperia..."
7. Keep the "back button pressed, while plug the phone on usb, until you see the green led on.
Make sure you understand the installation process before you try!
All credits go to:
zdzihu, for xrecovery and for all this actually, as i followed his method.

You will have to reflash previous software with Bin4ry's flashtool
or could we do the normal reflash through SE's PC Companion?
JiT already installed??..

I haven't tried it and therefore i don't know. But you can try reflashing with SEUS (if something goes wrong) and if it doesn't reflash then try Bin4ry's tool.

No worries at all. System sin and dsp1.sin are meant to be missing.
Unplug and turn on!
Cheers mate, Works fine
I've noticed a bit of an improvement, will reply with a quadrant score aswell, and again with JIT when i enable it
Busybox 1.15.3 is the version installed according to Titanium Backup if anyone's interested.
Now i'm just restoring all my apps
Not entirely sure what the Application Installer app is though...?
Thanks again mate
Many thanks for that! Just a question before i try.. does this firmware contain czech localization, too?
Just noticed that xrecovery is not working .. ill guess i should do it manually

So I have been reading through the threads for a short time I couldn't find a direct answer. I have a rooted AT&t x10 1.6, used z4root. Can I easily upgrade to 2.1? my Kernel verison: 2.6.29, Build number: R2CA016.
If I do upgrade are there major problems, I have been reading about, like video play back and bluetooth not working?
Thanks

would it be this one
or the FlashToolRelease.zip?

Use the generic X10a fw.
You have to wipe your USERDATA !! This is important, otherwise you will enter Bootloops etc.
Also be sure SEUS is NOT running! (But at least it should have detected your phone once)
How do I wipe the USERDATA?

You have to load your target firware (X10a Generic-World) into the firmware folder - all not just .sin. The flash tool only found the loader.sin

OR maybe you should read all the instructions first. All these issues have been discussed many, many times. I think a little thank you for the people that get all this work done should be in order rather than complaining.
Anyway, glad you got it to work.
Hello joekhalil89,
Sorry to borrow your post but I think it will be better than opening a new thread.
Here is my problem, I have actually posted it already in the xrecovery thread because it is a problem that happened after using it but I need lot of help:

I had same problem. Solved by uninstalling both SEUS and PC Companion then download latest SEUS from SE site. Then I got reflash option.
Thank you XperiaX10iUser, I solved it already with your advise. I actually tried that before I post here the problem but I was in a hurry and didn't realize I was skipping a step. Thanks to the helpful people.
Hi There!
This is my first step to flash a Android Phone.
I have a Desire Z and a X10 Mini Pro.
The X10 is from Vodafone with this UGLY Vodafone 360 Software IN the firmware and all the other stupid things....
I want only a clean ORIGINAL Branding free ROM!
I would like to install App2SD because my Internal Memory is everytime full! ;(
Before the Desire Z and the X10 I had a HTC HD2 with Goatrip Rom and Desire Android.
That was very easy to flash much better than pure Android
I use the SE X10 Flasher by Bin4r&Androxyde 0.2.8 to root my Android Phone.
That's all fine
Superuser is working!
And NOW comes the Problem!
I think Baseband is the same as in Windows Phones the "Radio Rom" it is for the Batterylifetime, the speaking qualitiy and much more.
RIGHT?
My X10 has the build No: 2.1.1.A.0.6
Firmware:
2.1 - update 1
Thats OK! BUT MY Baseband is:
M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
I never seen such a number here on XDA???
All Basebandnumbers are like:
2.0.xx versions
2.0.46
2.0.49
2.0.52
2.1.xx versions
2.1.54 (X10a)
2.1.55 (X10a)
2.1.54 (X10i)
?? Am i stupid or didn't i see this numbers in my Baseband???
Now i tryed 6! diffferent Firmwares with this Flash Tool from this Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10879519&postcount=2
But! Everytime he began to flash and then comes:
Flash abortet
Please unplug your Phone
Make Debug
........
And that BEFORE he Began to flash! He Only Checks the Phone thats all ok and then when he try to flash then it comes the mistake.
Please help me a little bit! My English is far away i Know *g* my last lessons was on Shool 14 years ago ^^
But i read since 6 hours every Thread and every Post BUT now i can't see the light at the end of the tunnel
The X10a is for Amercia and the X10i for Europe
RIGHT?
THX for HELP!
have you enabled USB debugging? please have it checked, and try to flash again.
Yes its enabled!

the last line tells otherwise. do check your phone first.
turn phone on, then go to settings -> applications, and have "unknown sources" checked. go to settings -> application -> development, and have usb debugging checked as well.
if both are checked and you are having the same problem, reflashing thru SEUS/PC companion might be a solution.
Edit: if you are using a x10 mini pro (u20i/a), make sure you are flashing the correct firmware. it is different from x10 mini
I checked ALL this things They are really all enabled...
And i just reflashed thru SEUS/PC companion 7 hours ago ;(
Do i use the wrong Firmware???

These basebands are for big X10 not for X10 Mini/Mini Pro
X10 Mini/Mini Pro has these basebands:

2.1.1.A.0.6 => baseband M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015

You must replace build.prop in /system with it

in system folder...
first on sdcard then this from adb shell...
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
after that
cat /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
That's the mini pro's. Looks like you flash with the wrong one
i have the same problem but my phone never turn on!!!!!
what can i do?
Hi everyone,
I use Ubuntu 12.04 moved Flashtool on my system added the
rules to /etc/udev (checked from this Guide) and also readed this one.
With lsusb the device looks connected when even if the smartphone is
startet normal and when the device is OFF and i connect the usb cable
and press the volume down button.
It is not sure for me how i can start my device in flashmode as
it let flashtool its work with SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Baseband+Kernel.ftf.
Can somebody explain me how i can proof that the device is startet
in flashmode correctly? Do it boot in a other way and show something
in flashmode or is the display after SE normaly blank?
My next step is that i like to get it updated and rooted (with this
update_4.0.2.A.0.69_SK17_PreRoot-Ex.zip one i guess). Must i transfer
this update with flashtool too? Or how can i bring this update on my device?
Flashtool dont start to flash my device (maybe becuse i have no clue
to start it correctly in flashmode). Or do i need to install an app?

Yes, but when the device is turned off, first hold down the Volume DOWN button, then connect the cable.

If you did, like I said previously, green LED lights up, display stays off and your device in flashmode.

No, this has to be installed via Recovery. Recovery requires custom kernel(and unlocked bootloader) or rooted ROM(which is pointless then).
Install older firmware, .58 or older, root it and then make direct update from your phone to .62(.69 if you're in Germany).
Place your phone in flashmode, when Flashtool asks it. Make sure drivers are properly installed, no additional apps needed.
Show me the rules

Thanks for your answer. I googled a little bit and found that
there was an update for flashtool released.
Code:
* 0.8.0.0 :
[b]- Fixed an issue with flashing ftf under linux (specially ubuntu 12.04) [/b]
- Fixed system app backup when ls applet used to enumerate system apps is busybox one with colorization
- Added a kernel.sin extractor (ELF Extractor) to get image, ramdisk and rpm.bin on 2012 devices
- Added a Sin editor which is only capable of extracting data part from sin files for the moment.
- Added drivers for Xperia U, Sola, P
- Added Xperia U, Sola, P recognition (thanks to krabappel2548)
I had lost my mind and was a little bit before driveing crazy because there was no reason that i could found as reason because it dont work ...
Cross fingers that hopefully the newer version will work

My smartphone did not automaticly reboot. After a couple mins i did it manual, and it boot with my current / old android ...
When i select the Firmware to flash are there a couple *.sin files in the firmware content files? I selected all and hope that was correctly.

Phone is restarted to flashmode. Disconnect and power it up yourself.
The ftf file, that you used, was only kernel and baseband(no system, no data - no ROM itself), not the whole package. Download full ftf file and try again.
These .sin files are just shown, you don't have to choose anything there.

Maybe better root with that method, it should work. And some people reported, that their devices bricked while flashing neo kernel...

With the updated flashtool version it worked fine.
