Creating a downloadable ROM? xrecovery or Flashtool - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK so I have mny theme applied to latest 435 firmware, removed alot of sony junk apps and un needed services, jit/rooted/xrecovery. how do i create and pull this ROM as is for download and flash via xRecovery?
Or would it need to be full image for flashtool as baseband changed in 435, otherwise you can only flash from xrecovery if you already have this fw/baseband to my understanding. unsure how to package the rom is an 'update.zip' for xrecovery as is with all the mods and my theme, cheers

[Q] Noob Help X10

Hi I need help
I have just tried to add a custom rom to my xperia x10 but everytime I click install custom rom on xrecovery It says "replacing stock recovery with clockwork mod.." and is stuck there.
I am on original 2.1 firmaware version
and 2.1.54 baseband
And I want to install a 2.2 custom rom
I am a noob so sry if this is a stupid qustion. Could you help me please?
which custom rom you're trying to install? and on which xrecovery version?
and when you say you click on install custom rom you mean you click on install cutom zip right?
I tried to install the wolfbreakTW v007
and im on the xrecovery which you get from the flashtool.
and ye I clicked install custom zip.
did you follow all the steps exactly as indicated on the first page of the thread?
Also which baseband are you on?
1. Go to Xrecovery and make a Backup of your current ROM (optional but i suggest it)
2. make following in Xrecovery
- do a Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
- Format Cache
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
3. Install Custom Zip and choose Xperia_TW_V007.zip
4. Go to CyanogenMod Settings/User Interface/Tweaks extras and Select a theme and choose Xperia TW [For Custom Kernel you need to do this Method maybe]
5. Reboot
6. Enjoy

Click to collapse
Then flash v007.1 update.
You need to be on baseband 54 or upwards for the stock kernel version
or BB52 for the custom version.

.......
I unzipped the file on my PC....
So anyway do I keep the file as XperiaTW_007.zip ?
Just put the whole zip file on your sd card.
Goto xrecovery and choose install custom zip
Navigate to where you saved it on the sd card and choose it

[Q] Back to official -HELP

Good evening
My x10i runs on a 2.2 by zhidzu and I want to get back to official SE and update to 2.3.
I connect to SE PC companion and when I try to update it, in preparation process I get a message saying that installation is not possible. Please can someone help me?
Thanks
Why dont u flash custom roms directly since you are already using a custom rom?
thanks for the reply!
I tried to backup phone to first setup but nothing... I have rooted it through z4root and the only 2.3 that I found is the official and some custom under development. I hate the fact that camera doesn not work normal and has only the "macro" option.
There are many good roms in the development section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=617&order=desc).
I personally like Wolf's rom, as it is very stable, and has Bravia & xLoud in it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192988
damn! Phone stuck at SE logo!
MAYDAY! Please help!!!
Hi, which rom did you flash? And it is normal for the phone to load a little longer (wait up to 5 minutes) for its first boot.
I put in SD wolf's rom, "install custom zip" through xRecovery, reboot, the end...
I have SE logo for 15'. Nothing happens

How to install this ROM?! [Fresh Install]
Reboot into xRecovery and make a back-up of your current ROM. (You'll need a working xRecovery or else it will say Device/SD Card busy).
Wipe the following in xRecovery:
Factory Reset (Full wipe)
Wipe Cache Partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Go to install Custom Zip and choose Wolf_GB_2.3_TW_V4.zip
The following steps are only required if you don't have the new 2.3 kernel and .71 baseband, if you do have them you can reboot your phone and enjoy this ROM.​
Turn off the phone by taking out your battery when ROM installation is finished
Open Flashtool and flash the FTF Bundle I made available for download. Press on Flash and follow the steps given to put your x10 into flashmode and flash the baseband and kernel.
When Flashtool is finished you can plug out the USB, turn your phone on and enjoy this ROM!

Click to collapse
Did you follow the instructions here? You will need to follow ALL instructions, just installing with custom zip will not work.
FINALLY!!! I made it! My mistake was the flashing and phone was not able to read sim. Thanks a lot!!! 100000 thanks for your time and your help!
No problem.
You can use wotanserver
I installed Wolf's rom but I do not see the Bravia engine option. Can you help me a bit?
Just flash this with xRecovery.

[Q] Works Flashtool with MiniCM7_Pro_V16 and CWM?

Hi at all,
i installed on my xperia x10 mini pro the newest version of miniCM7.
For recovery is CWM now on my phone, before i had xrecovery.
But with CWM Flashtool 0.3 couldnt find my phone when i choose a firmware to flash...for example one firmware from this list: Firmware X10
Could i install xrecovery again for recovery?
Have a nice day
coder90
Flashtool, doesn't works with CWM.
You, can always restore xrecovery, if u need to.
If u want the tool for reverting back to xrecovery, search it in dev section.
Or PM me, i will message u the link.
Make sure you use flashtool pre v3, so you want a 2.9.x beta otherwise it wont detect your phone. Having CWM installed has no baring on whether or not flashtool can detect your phone, i've used it since having CWM without ill effect.
Run the gordonsgate.exe included with flashtool and make sure you have SE companion installed, but exit the SE companion and dont have it running in the background. Reboot after installing.
It should then work without a hitch.

booting problem

hi every one
i have Sony Ericsson xperia x10
i replaced the file named (build.prop) trying to add the official Arabic language
when i restart the phone its stop on the green logo
then i enter in recovery mode and made a factory swipe and cache swipe
then div and battery swipe
the phone stops on the black screen with Sony Ericsson
and i cant enter the recovery mode
so what can i do to fix this problem ??
help me if any one know how to fix this
i know it is my fault​
you did a factory reset .... i think you had deleted your current firmware and data ....
so you should download a stock generic firmware 2.3.3 ... flash it with the latest flashtool, root it, and install xrecovery ... then you can install any GB custom rom which supports Arabic interface ... or you can unlock your bootloader to install CM10 which also supports that

i don't want the Arabic language any more
the old ROM support the read & write with out any problems
and if any one can learn how to do that
i will be grateful
ok here is the stock generic one X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_GLOBAL-GGL_GENERIC_1232-9897
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?vy4v24ditk4lsxa
get the latest flashtool :
http://depositfiles.com/files/3lz2livfj
install flashtool first then install the file in drivers folder in c:/flashtool/drivers
extract the firmware .zip you downloaded and copy the .ftf file you got into firmwares folder in c:/flashtool/firmwares
then run flashtool and press first button Flash .. then choose the firmware 2.3.3 generic and tick wipe user data and wipe cache dont tick any other option and press ok
of course you phone is off ... plug the cable in phone and hold back button when pluging the cable in pc ... then when the window you see disappears and it starts flashing release the back button ... and wait till it finish flashing ... then unplug the cable and start you phone
thank you so much for your help

Hello!
Remember this: You CAN'T use stock kernel with Cyanogenmod. You need to flash the kernel included inside the zip you downloaded.
And as far as I know, there is no CTC kernel for Xperia Mini or Xperia MDPI.
Since you already said that you unlocked the bootloader of your phone, try reflashing stock ICS firmware of Xperia Mini using Flashtool. Then if you want to install the ICS Cyanogenmod, download the zip file for your phone. After downloading the zip, flash the kernel that can be found inside the zip. That kernel has already a CWM installed so no need to install CWM manually. After flashing the kernel, install now the Cyanogenmod zip.

did u mess up ur phone in previous?!?! it looks like.
1. unlock bootloader is only once. it will STAY unlocked no matter what u do. so dont do it again
2.before installing a custom rom like CM, flashing a stock.ftf is good idea like u do, BUT:
a) make sure its the latest version of flashtool
b) install the drivers in the drivers folder of flashtool.
c) may install android SDK to get the google usb drivers (dont install ALL!!! just leave all like it is & install)
2.1 SO NOW if u flash a stock.ftf fw for YOUR phone, IT WILL BOOT 100%. ELSE:
a) u doing sth wrong (wrong fw etc)
b) ur phone is broken , a stock ics ftf will boot 100%, remember.
after this install cm like u say (kernel flash 1st than rom.--> boot)
