Hi all
i have a X10 mini E10i which i bought just before chrismas.
i updated it to the latest version .24 which at the time was unrootable which made me want to downgrade and had many many problems doing that.
then after many tries some how i got the 504 flashed and working.
now my problem is the following.
1- i cant get xrecovery to work no matter what i do. and believe me i tried everything.
2- i cant get it to update to .24 again, i tried SEUS but it says i have the latest version installed. i tried to look for the build.prop file but it does not exist, i have instead a file named default-capability. which doesnt have the same values everybody here is talking about.
i need help and many thanks in advance.
I'm having the same problem!
I did the SEUS repair this morning and I'm stuck too!
non-signed apps aren't working for me.

Thats cos youre reading the memory stick, or the /etc directory.
Get your phone rooted as it is, download root explorer, then launch it.
Go to system directory, copy it over to your memory stick, then upload it here.
Also, are you using Mini, or Mini Pro?
Yes, i want back to orignal firmware so I downgrade to 0.A.504, then i use SEUS but it say i used lastest version. How to update my phone to 0.A.24 now? Replace file build.prop, maybe?

Anyone show me.. pls

I've already tested all ways to flash to my county rom 2.1 and I have no result so I need help with it. I downgraded to 1.6 NR like is written in main page of this threat and then root, changed all three numbers in build.props, turned off and then hold beck button to green light and update to 2.1 with SEUS, but when I looked into build.props of new 2.1 system there is the same build.props as before in NR ROM. I don't know what to do. I've tried changing just number afted CDF or after whole CDF and nothing happend. What I did bad. My telephone was from CZ/Vodafone.
Sorry for my bad English and maby for bad section. =)
Yeah I have the same problem. I am from India unlocked x10minipro.
Even after changing the nos i get the same NR 2.1.
Helppppppppppppp.....
Please.
I really don´t know how to next, becouse if something happens I need to have original region firmware reclaim with warranty and so I want to use my region ROM, that is updated to 2.1
OK, I would recommend you to get the build.prop from someone who has the country firmware that you all want.
If you just want to change to an UK generic ROM, just go the the topic
"GUIDE: Mini Pro (U20) change to any firmware (generic\debrand)" and download the build.prop on the 1st page.
Then use the root explorer, go to system and copy paste it (substitute) there.
Turn off phone, connect to SEUS (as if you were updating the software).
VERY IMPORTANT - delete the db folder in SEUS before you do it.
And it should download and install a generic UK ROM 2.1.
Good luck, and if you get other build.props from other countries you will get those instead installed on your phone.
I already have have US ROM but I want my CZ/Vodafone regional ROM but with no results. I rewrited build.prop and if I updated with SEUS I am still on US ROM.
Philalerts, what you are experiencing is probably due to the fact that you have already downloaded the US ROM on your PC, that is why SEUS will install it automatically.
What you need to do is root - root explorer - change build.prop to the pretended version CZ in your case - save!.
Than you shut down the phone, and go to the place were you have your SEUS installed and DELETE the entire db folder "C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db".
That is where your US ROM is. After that you run SEUS again, and update. You should have a new CZ ROM in your next boot.
Good luck / Hodne stesti (my Cz used to be better
I have already done it by your way last time and before I send this topic, so I asked. I updated it with SEUS with clean install on my notebook, so I don't have any US ROM already downloaded.
When I edit build.prop with root explorer, what I did, then I turn off phone and update. Have I to restart it and try to update after that?

no, this the true untouched se rom.
"test mode" is just the name i randomly choose in bundle creation wizards.
You have to put version name, model name and a reference name, my reference name was this one...
Its a test also because i flash my wifes mini throught seus and decripted this files after.
Its usefull for mini owner whose cannot upgrade throught seus.
I recomend to make a backup in xrecovery menu and after try flash this one(as regular procedure prior any upgrade.)
best,
Pedro
tested, work great. thanks
EDIT: mmm.. finaly, buggy release
dont install it
Thanks for this, my decrypting was crap and never quite worked.
What version is this? If you're Brazillian, is it a South-American version? The Nordic firmware gets updated first usually.

The way I used to install newest 2.1.1.A.06:
- With Flash tool, install 2.1 Nordic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825664,
- Use SEUS to update on 2.1.1.A.06
At first time, i installed the 2.1 French with Flashtool. I never received any update with SEUS; It said to me that I have the newest Installed. With Nordic, It said to me directly that and update is available and installed me the newest
Hop that help you

Hi,
Phone will be still rooted.
The upgrade is incremental(means it will mess with only few partitions).

Really great work and good idea....
Just works....
Doesn't work for me. Can't update with SEUS or PC Companion. They both tell me there are no updates for me. Even REPAIR doesn't work.
EDIT: It's working now. All of sudden ?????????
Super User Prob.
It works for me and this version is more stabe and faster in performace,,,but my happyness is half coz the SU isn't working!!!!
@pedrocel85 dude pls check ur PM....i discribed my problem in it!!!!
I read from other posts saying this update is slowing down the phone. And it really isn't any better than previous version...
I can't upgrade my E10a via SEUS and PC Companion (with a E10i unbranded nordic firmware .504). I tried with I and a firmware. When I use your build.prop on the nordic one, I can upgrade via settings>about phone>software update. It download an actualization (about 35mb), the phone reboot and a process of 4 steps begins. When the second starts, the phone boots normally. When it'n on, a mesage appears: "can't upgrade"
I really want this firmware :-(
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
I would advice people to use this method with caution, cause it just bricked my phone.
Did exactly what he stated, and there after its stuck on the "Sony Ericsson" boot screen, and can't get it connected to SEUS, cause I cannot turn it off.
Works on mini pro too?
Funciona no Mini Pro também?
Hello everyone, I'm new here so sorry if I'm doing something wrong, I tried to search but couldn't find anything related to my problem!
I'm running in a little trouble trying to recover to my local factory firmware with SEUS since last friday, reading a lot of threads here and at other forums with no luck.
Hope someone could enlight me.
[EDIT to what is happening right know]
The history log:
- I update my U20a (1239-7686) mini pro with PC Companion as soon as I bought it to 2.1.1.A.0.6.
- Then I rooted, tried hundreds apps, removed other dozen with Titanium Backup installed JIT and then I had the "brilliant" to reset from the inside android menu wondering that my firmware will return fresh and clean, big mistake.
- After trying three different firmwares and versions (including downgrading to 1.6) with FlashTool 0.2.9.1 I finally found that with this one SEUS recognize my phone and repair it.
The problem is that when I edit build.prop to my factory CDF number, SEUS do not recognize it anymore. What am I doing wrong? Any clue??
just a thought...
Did you try force method?
Use seperated SE Update software not update from pccampanion.
Then when you have selected model etc etc enter in flash mode and let it finish with flashing ... works in 99% time..
what worked for me
I had about the same problem, but managed to sort it out with the Flash Tool.
Check if the latest firmware has been downloaded by the SE Updater Service to /Program Files/Sony Ericsson/Updater Service/db/. (check the size, there should be about 100+ MB in there).
If so, you can use the Flash Tool to :
1) decrypt the files in the .../db/12345678/ folder
2) build a package from the newly decrypted .sin files (the build package window will open right after the decryption), select all the .sin files, name the package and go
3) flash that package to your phone.
I hope this will work for you too.

I tried with PC Companion, and SE Update Service, both softwares available from SE website.
If you mean I should use SE Update Service, that's exactly the problem, it doesn't work. Otherwise I don't know what you mean about force method.

I didn't try this because SE Updater stops right after I choose the Mini Pro, it tells me I have the lastest firmware no matter what firmware I've flashed, even 1.6. Just to be sure I'll check this when I go back home.
Try to change the custom revision number too inside the build.prop, it helped for me before. Eg from R4B to R3B.

Good idea, thks! Do you try a random value?
Have an Xperia X10 with Android 2.1. Wanted to root my phone to upgrade to gingerbread. However i admit i got confused with the plethora of links and pages and 6 hours later i have a phone that only has "Sony Ericsson" written on it.
Here's how i started - based on DoomLord's instructions i installed Flashtool (from here) . HOwever I was unable to find xrecovery folders in the log messages.
Followed step by step procedure but realised that each time i upgraded the kernel, phone seemed to be going into some bootloop.
I realised that this may be due to my phone running on Android 2.1
SO i moved to another thread . Downloaded these files with the hope that they would work.
meanwhile was also following video through a similar page that was detailing the methods for installing custom ROMs. The reason i followed another source is only because the intsructions on all these pages seemed very confusing.
i believe i may have misled myself by following two different procedures here or the files i downloaded were incorrect.
After I upgraded the kernel as per doomlord's instructions, i went into xRecovery and formatted the data folders. I had already copied the ROM files provided by Doomlord in this thread onto my SD card under a new folder. However, xRecovery was asking for .Zip files while there were .7z .
Tl;dr - formatted data on xRecovery and did not have the correct updated files. phone is not functioning now
Tragically so, I am now left with an Xperia that only seems to be displaying the words "Sony Ericsson". I wish to learn from this experience but hope its not at the cost of a good phone!
Would the experts believe that this phone can be un-bricked now???
your phone is not bricked so dont worry. just make sure you have the newest flashtool. dont upgrade the kernel if you are staying on 2.1. if youhavent downgaded the kernel then do so. if it doesnt work, just download your baseband and firmware you want. as for rooting on 2.1, you can use super one click. for 2.3, you hav to use the flashtool
If you are on 2.1, then you don't have to go through all the downgrade/upgrade hassel.
Just turn on debugging and use flashtool/superoneclick to root.

Wow... such a relief to know that. Was exasperated and down-beat to even look at my phone.
please help me in identifying the right version of softwares and protocols to follow. In the current state, i connected my phone and flashed it once using flash tool but there has been no progress. Am i missing out a few steps?
How do i upgrade to 2.3 eventually?
Thanks a lot for the support and motivation
ok if you want to go to 2.3 download the firmware from here

Reading this from office now. Shall check in a few hours once i'm back home.
hello, I've got a huge problem. I own Xperia Arc S and I wanted install the new Android ICS without waiting for my country release. It wasn't rooted and bootloader wasn't opened. I downloaded and installed Flashtools 0.6.8 for Windows from here:
http://ul.to/w076p5wf
Then I click on "Root" button, the process started but also ended with error and root failed. I also installed Flashtool-drivers --> click on Flashboot mode and flashed the kernel with kernel of ICS. Kernel was from:
http://eddy.uni-duisburg.de/bin4ry/L....0.562_NCB.ftf
from the page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1598072
It was ok so i click on "return to hone mode". But it failed and now my phone can not start. I only see startup sony ericsson animations which always reloads I tried remove the battery but it won't help. My computer on windows 7 also do not see dhe device, always trying to install the device driver and fails everytime. Please help if you can and know how
It seems I've got BootLoop...
So the Kernel is installed? Try to boot in recovery mod, maybe you have it now (I can't see the page where you downloaded the kernel). While you're smartphone is booting, press "Volume Down" again and again until you see the menu appear. Then you could do a wipe cache, maybe it will help
Hope someone will have a better answer...

Ok, I think it will work! I hope you could use you're phone ASAP!
But to do this I need .ftf file, global generic, but I can't find it anywhere
even on XDA forum I tried, It is said that it is.ftf file and then I've got plenty of .sin files
Can somebody send me an .ftf file please?

you have to unlock your bootloader first to be able to flash anything other than the stock rom on your phone. it is free and you can do it through sony. but you might be able to flash the ics stock its just tricky due to flashtool needing an update

OK, I created my own ftf file (a few files, one of them worked), and flashed it with FlashTool, it seems that now I have pure stock 2.3.4 firmware although two of four branded applications from Orange has gone. I don't know why two are still in my phone if now I've got World generic (I've checked it in service menu), wired, hmm. Wired seems that all my applications I had before are still installed in my phone Also some new from stock sony like Let's golf or Video Unlimited. Now I will try to unlock bootloader, root the phone and will try to install ICS with FlashTool. Thanks a lot everybody for help and suggestions
Great!
Go unlock the bootloader and have fun!!
