SEUS is the way to go.
Also binary's flash tool should be ok to use. Search this forum for more info, bricking is happening quite easily but is also easily fixable

Hi;

Thanks for helping..

[Q] Help! Downgrading from Free X10?

Hey guys, can anyone help me out here?
I downloaded and installed My Free X10 Beta 4.. I'm pretty sure I did everything properly but it left me with one problem, it wasn't letting me enter the SIM card pin and therefore wouldn't receive signal, causing it to reboot constantly..
I've tried changing the SIM lock on startup off but to no avail - I only get errors..
Since nothing else is working I want to downgrade back down to the Stock 2.1 version, can anybody help me? Much appreciated, thanks.
If u made a backup before u did the flash then u can restore the backup but u probably didn't lol... so u have to flash 2.1 Alltel over again
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Actually I did, using the Backup and Restore app thingy, how do I restore it from there? Thanks!
If you used the SE backup and restore app then that won't be any use - it only backs up content, not Firmware..
Your best course of action is probably to try doing a repair using SEUS, or use flashtool to flash a standard SE ROM.
You know I was considering trying out Titanium Backup.. Too late now!
So I should just trying update in SEUS as normal and see what happens from there?
Sorry I'm such a noob. -.-
Yes - plug into SEUS and it will either say that you have the latest firmware, or will try to update your phone.. if it says that you have the latest firmware then you should be able to select the "repair" option...
If SEUS doesn't let you re-install the firmware then you'll need to reflash a standard ROM first.
Thanks for your help so far, you're a lifesaver
I'll try that now and get back to you when its done!
Ummmm. Not good, ran through SUES fine but its not working at all...
The phone starts up with the SE name and symbol then shuts down straight away?!

give it another flash using SEUS mate, occasionally there are problems when flashing a ROM.
If you are keen, you could use the flash tool that binary has posted. Pick the appropriate ROM package from his list, start the flasher batch file, restart the phone in flash mode and wait a few minutes.
binary's tool lives here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201 and another thread with more info is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10738467
Good luck and have patience - you cannot kill the x10 so it wont boot so you will be ok
Thanks mate, you've actually calmed me down now. It could be a late night but i'll figure this out.
Well if u had made that backup with xrecovery u would have been okay!

Go into the SEUS and use the repair function,It will reset the phone and give you the latest firmware.
Then use the XDA flash tool to re root it,Worked great for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965202
Sorry was away from the computer yesterday..
Well a new problem, the phone isn't staying on long enough to connect to SUES.. All the stuff in them other posts about Binary is going in one ear out the other, so to say.
Can you get into flash mode at all for SEUS?
If not, try taking the battery out, then connect the USB cable, hold down the back button, and replace the battery.
Beta 4 does not work on all devices
Hi,
in order to get back a working X10 just flash the beta3. I've had the same problem and flashed the beta3 (plus Google Applications) and afterwards it worked well
Regards
Stefan
Okay, all this stuff is confusing me, try talk in noobish terms I dont understand this flashing and stuff..
I'm upto the stage where I have the flasher, just how do I flash the software onto it? Thanks for your help so far guys..
Actually, ignore it, I managed to repair it with SUES and i'm back on 2.1 I think i'll think twice before installing Betas again! Cheers for all your help guys!!

please help, my X10 is broken i think ?

I was trying to install custom kernel, but something must have gone wrong.
Now I can not go to xrecovery, it boots normal, but when it starts up i can only see my battery and statusbar, but nothing in statusbar.
If i use SEUS it says i already have the latest software.
Is there anything else i can try ? i have no clue what else to try...

Wrong section, you should be in Q&A. Mods please move.
To answer your question though.
When using SEUS, choose the repair option when it says that your phone it up to date. It will then download and install the latest firmware for your device. Or better yet you can use FlashTool to reinstall the firmware and root the phone.
Flashtool thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746&highlight=flashtool
Wierd!
Well, you can always flash the x10 generic "ROM" with Flashtool.
Then your x10 will be just like when you bought it. After that you can just root it and add xrecovery again! You'll propably be on BB 54 when you do this, so I advice you to flash BB 49 or 52 with Flashtool also.
EDIT: Three posts in like a minute!

Isn't it PC Companion?
Use Flashtool? That should help
On SEUS, Keep checking it for few times and then it will ask you to reinstall the current version
I hope this helps.
PS: wrong forum.
Flash
X10 is Die Hard man. Just flash the thing and it will be fine.
I could not use Seus because it keeps on saying i have the latest software.
Thank God and u guys for flashtool !
I'm restoring my ROM again, i will wait with custom kernel until there is a easier way to install it.
Thanx again

Download and install pccompanion to get the correct drivers,.
Download and install latest flashtool.
Make sure you are rooted through flashtool.
If all else fails use pccompanion to repair phone.
What do you mean by getting the correct driver?
And how should i repair my phone through pc companion?
Thx

You need the correct drivers installed so that the computer can "talk" to the phone.
To use pccompanion, just download and install it (A quick google search will find it)
Then just follow the instructions.
When you click on update it may say you have the latest software anyway, dont worry, there will be an option to repair....
EDIT
whats going on here.... I am helping you in another thread where you say you are on wolfs v6 which is android 2.3
which is it..i cant help you if i dont know what rom you are on
So,I just need to repair my phone using pc companion and it will install the correct driver for me?
Thx
Dont reply in this thread.
I am helping you in the other thread..we dont need 2 threads to do this. I will only respond in the other one now
Sry for confusion..
I'm using V6 before this but the camera keep malfunction so i update it to V7...
It work at first but then i cannot enter UI after download the V7b4 update through appman...
So i try to flash back to stock 2.3.3 but my flashtool cannot detect it...
Then i flash back to 2.1 and that's what happening now...
What should i do?

Help please Hard Brick ???

Hello
I've installed the [ROM] MiniCM7-2.1.9 following this steps
i've previously installed a CWM
restart in recovery
wiped data/reset factory
wiped battery
wiped all ...
install Rom
install gapp
and now my phone doesn't goes to recovery and all i get is a black screen whit "Sony Ericsson" legend
please some help.
i post here, because i haven't permissions to post in the developer forum asking for help in the thread
sorry about my bad english
Did you unlock your bootloader using Flashtool?
You also need the latest version of nAa kernel installed.
Thanks for the answer
I didn't unlock my bootloader using Flashtool i haven't do that before and didn't read the installing instructions for doing that my fault
and didn't installed nAa kernel, because i think didn't need to install the kernel obligatorily
is anything i can do to solve this problem ??
You do need the nAa kernel to run MiniCM7, it just won't work without it. Next time you think about installing a rom, make sure you read all the instructions first. Especially if you're using custom kernels as that's a good way to give your phone a real hard brick.
What you've got is a soft brick. The phone still works, it just doesn't work as a phone. A hard brick is when your phone doesn't do anything at all. Which is bad.
All you need to do is download and use Sony Ericsson Update Service. This updates your phone to the latest, official firmware. If it complains that you already have it, choose the option to reinstall it anyway.
This will wipe all the data on your phone, but not your sdcard, so you'll lose your contacts, sms's, etc but you backed up anyway, didn't you?
thanks Ticklefish for the answer
i did that and now i've my phone back =D
Mine wont do that :-/
When i follow your steps Ticklefish i cant connect to the phone. it pops up with a message that tells me to pull down the status line which i cant because i only gets to the Sony Ericsson boot logo.
Got any tips for me?
thanks in advance

[Q] Issue after flashing

Hi!
Its my first topic on this forum so i wanted to say welcome to everybody in first place. I would like to mention that my X10i is my first android phone so im completely new with that things.
Stock soft from sony doesnt fitted me i decided to change it. First i managed to root, install xrecovery and all that stuff with a huge help of guides on this forum. Tested some custom roms and finally i saw a jellybean. I thought: I want it! So i tried to follow instruction mentioned in topic (jellybean kickass edition). Occurred problem while flashing cm10, read to try flashing cm9 first - same. Recovered to stock 2.3.3 with xrecovery and tried to flash again. And here I am. I cant get into xrecovery now, just stuck on se logo and even my pc dont recognize x10 when it in flash mode.
Is there any way to fix that? Plis help because phone is out of guaranty.
Edit: Fortunately i manage to restore soft with PCC so topic is for close/del.

Yeap, PCC helped but when my phone had not been recognise by PC when it was in Flash Mode i paniced and wrote on forum. Then i rebooted my PC and there was no trouble with recovery.
Taking the opportunity i would like to ask some more q.
1. I want to install CM10 on my x10 but i encountered some trouble. Do i need unlocked boot loader to to this? I've tried FT bootunlocer but i dont know is it was successfully or not. How to check it? Currently im running on cm7 and stock kernel rooted of course.
Thanks

You need unlocked boot loader, you can verify with s1 tool if your boot loader as been unlocked
