[Q] Updating to latest shipped global ROM after Root/xRecovery/JIT? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to update my X10a running 2.1 build 2.0.A.0.504 to 2.0.2.A.0.24, but I'm wondering if I need to do it in a special way because I've rooted and installed xRecovery and JIT, or can I just use Flashtool and re-root, and reinstall xRecovery, BusyBox, JIT, etc?
Thanks

This is how I Rooted 2.1.55

Model Number
X10a
Firmware Version
2.1 Update1
Baseband Version
2.1.55
Kernal version
2.6.29
[email protected]#1
Build Number
2.1.1.A.0.6
I was using Free X10 Beta 4 and was missing my HD Camcorder,so I used the option repair through SEUS and got the latest firmware which is .55.
Then I used the XDA flash Tool
http://www.multiupload.com/Q2NRGI76JR
Connect the phone(make sure USB Debugging is Enabled,DO NOT mount Sd Card),then click root.
Congratulation's you should now have root access
You can also install XRecovery using the flash tool,click advanced then select install XRecovery.
Download Busybox from the market,not the one in the flash tool.
If this helped ya,Click Thanks

Can't say much, but there is some more cool features coming in the next version.
Im Running FreeX10 beta4 and wanted to be able to switch between the latest 2.1 anf 2.2.1(freeX10)
So this is what i did
0. created a backup in xrecovery of my FreeX10 op
1. flashed 2.1.1.A.0.6 Rogers X10a and rooted it with Flashtools 0.3
2. Used Flashtools to install busybox and xrecovery via the customize button(placed apps in the flashtools apps folder) turned on the phone
3. ran busybox and pressed install(updates new busybox needed for xrevovery)
4. ran xrecovery from phone ,it installs perfectly
5. Had to manually enter my APNs since the Rogers rom didnt have any preconfigured for Optus3g
6. rebooted phone in xrecovery mode and created backup!
Now i can switch between 2.1 and freeX10 2.2 anytime
Thats what I did to,Now I switch from SE 2.1/CM 6.1.3. Cant go wrong with it only taking 5minutes to switch between Roms

ahhh but it can do gingerbread...
I just installed the Jit v2 complier using xRecovery on my 2.1.1.A.0.6 x10a... works great.
WHt is the difference between .55 to .54?? is there a need to upgrade mine to .55? sorry i am kinda new to this thing thnks for the post!
It enables multi touch to work with all applications,also suppose to make the phone faster. I think there was tweaks made to mediascape and timescape,so they run smoother.
thank you, i have been trying to root for a week. that did it.
do you know the differences between all the basebands? i have tried 54 and 58... i noticed that the signal strength is better with 58. i'm not really sure if that's what it is for.

run SEUS???
Flash the Stock Rom with Flash tool .2.8
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Will running SEUS do it all?
From where can I get the stock ROM? I am from India and need to Flash the original Indian stock ROM
Use X10i Generic
Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.1.A.0.435 !
I dont think there's any special difference ?
Thanks! Also I checked on a thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=975692 In the first reply, it is mentioned that a repair from SEUS will do the trick. Can this be done?
yes, it can do the trick too

[Q] Did I do it wrong? (GB question)

I think I messed up. I updated to 2.3.3 using SEUS for my X10, and now I want to install Wolfbreak's TW GB ROM, but I'm not sure how to root this new firmware. Did I mess up or is there a way around this?

[Q] Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 to 7.1 xrecovery problem.

I'm attempting to install the new Zmod Cyanogenmod 7.1 but am encountering problems with xrecovery unable to read the SD/card when installing. Supposidly the new version of xrecovery will fix my issue but when I looked at the thread listed "2.3 STOCK ROM" as a requirement.
Now I cant update to the official 2.3.3 rom as im on O2UK, but I'm currently running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 (on baseband 0.52) so will I still be ok to update to the new version of xrecovery?
Also just a quick question as its been a while since I installed a new rom, it's baseband first (any .71?). My phone will still be rooted, busybox still installed, etc, as I've done all this before? Then install new .zip via xrecovery?
(I've already read the newbie threads so please don't just point me there, simple yes/no answers will suffice. I'm just a little confused about going from custom install to custom install.)
edit: could this be a problem with going from a 0.52 baseband to a 1.71? This thread talks about 0.54 but could it be something simiar? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053221
install xRecovery-0.3 (GBready) using flashtool
Here is the guide:

So install the zmod 7.1 .zip through my current version of xrecovery first, then use flashtool to upgrade the baseband to .71, root and then install the new xrecovery (as in the first reply)?

I might give this a try first as at least I'll have a fully working x-recovery before I start. After I've installed it this way can I go back to my 0.52 baseband and CMod 7.0.3 if I want?

Well I installed xrecovery via the instructions on that link and my phone is now stuck on the SE loading screen. This is exactly what I wanted to avoid as my phone is not running stock 2.3.3. Can I have a fix please!
edit: Ok got it working by installing the .zip and flashing the .71 baseband. Thanks.

[Q] Unroot stock 2.3.3

I have a X10a root stock 2.3.3 with xcovery installed. Now I want to unroot
and uninstall xcovery. Can I just flash it with the stock firmware
x10a_3.01.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200 it will do or I have
to do anyrhing else?
Just flash your phone. Doing so will lose xrecovery, root and it will wipe all your data on the phone.
Yes. Otherwise just connect it to SEUS. It will be back as original.

Thanks,
I flashed it with the generic x10a firmware, it was back to
normal but I had problem with installed Vietnamse keyboard so I
flashed it with the generic X10i global firmware. Now everything works O.K
Thanks again, I have learned so much from this forums.

Hi,
may I know, do you use "Flashtool"? from this thread "[TOOL] [UPDATE 14/08/2011] Flashtool version 0.3.0.0 (Sources now on github)"
Thanks,
Johan
No, I use flashtool 0.2.91
