[Q] downgrade back to .24 please ? how? help? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i went along with the hype and updated my baseband and firmware to .54 , .435 ....but i want to go back to previous .24 firmware so i can go back to beta3. as i am not so much happy with beta4 (my quadrant is significally lower, and not many themes are ready for the new baseband and stuff) ... is it possible ? guide please ?
downgrade ?
i would have searched but i do not have time right now. after i post this i will not be back for a few hours and wanted to come back to an answer.
much appreciated of any help.
i figured i could just flash a lower firmware....? with flashtool but want feedback before i try.

repair your phone with PC Companion, you'll get a clean FW.
And then just play around

I am on .435 I want to go back down to . 24....

Grammar mistake!

EDIT : It does all the work for you. Just connect to flash mode.

You can flash it back to an older baseband I don't see why not. Tuesday morning I was going back & forth between stock at&t 1.6, 2.0.2.A.0.24, 2.0.A.0.504 & 2.1.A.0.435 to test things out (had nothing else to do and was bored ). Then I saw beta4 so I stayed on .435 and flashed beta4. I may flash it back in a day or two if the battery condition doesn't improve. It is worse than beta3 and it gets too warm.
Edit: Almost forgot, here's the link I used. It has the older roms.

If you grabbed any of the .24 build from the link and if you did it correctly, you should actually be in 2.1 (.49, build .24). After that, using the flash tool, root it again, install xrecovery then restore your beta 3 or do a fresh install. I just did that on my phone so not sure how you can still be in beta4 after flashing to the .24 build.

no...im saying i was still on .435 ....i did everything right. its simple to flash. it just didnt work.

Repairing X10 via SEUS

Hi All,
I am hoping that someone could help me. I am trying to repair my X10 using SEUS but it keeps coming back with the message that there is no software for my device. I am using Z's Froyo ROM at the moment... do I need to reflash stock ROM first then retry?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Yes and this is not the right section... This should go under Q&A!

Flash this ROM via Xrecovery then SEUS give u option for upgrade... an other thing is if u want to be on 2.1 this ROM is too good.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941745
Thanks farazafs. The point of this exercise for me is to see if I can restore my battery performance. I have read on the XDA forums here that using the SEUS tool to repair the device and then load the ROM has helped some people with this issue.

Downgrade to .24 then try SEUS to repair to .435
This worked for me, now I am rooting, etc.. and am going to reload a ROM
as i posted it here
AN7 OverClocker said:
If you have problem with the update via SEUS because it says that you have the latest update and wont lets you reinstall the OS, you should try the following
1. Go Here and download the .504 version and flash it via flash tool.
2. Boot your phone and finish the settings wizard.
3.Shut it down
4. Run SEUS and update to .435
I hope that helps for any upcoming problems.

Every time I flash the cell just powers on then nothing, Ive left it for upwards of 2hrs with nothing. When I update to 2.3 it hangs in a boot loop at the SE logo.
as chris sed, flash tool should work in all circumstances. jus a few questions, when u used flashtool did it succesfully flash with no errors, did u make sure u had enuff battery to flash (50% is recommended). if u had no errors with flashtool and u had enuff battery than i cant see y not it hasnt worked.

I have to say that is pretty weird and i have never in my life come across it, ok give this a go. Flash a 2.1 Rom make sure that the particular rom can be upgraded to 2.3.3 thru seus or pc companion, id give u a link buh where i usually wud get that from is arkedk post in android development and theyve been deleted. so flash the 2.1 rom, then upgrade to official 2.3.3 using seus or pc companion. see how it goes, dnt know wot else to recommend really.
tried that, and even updated from 1.6 to 2.1 via pc companion and still nothing.
I HATE this phone!!!! thank god for my HD2
something somewhere in the process of wot u have been doing has gone wrong or there is a hard fault somewhere. sorry to hear uve had such a bad xperince with this phone, if uve got warranty send it off, thats all i can think of, or sell it on ebay. sorry i cudnt help u further, best of luck mate.

Yup and yup, its the strangest thing ever. Can any one point me to a official eu 2.1 or 2.3 rom and not ftf file?
Unfortunately all official SE 2.3.3 fitmwares are in ftf format,if u want to flash a 2.3.3 rom via xrecovery than u need 71 baseband. Go to android development, I recommend erickwills or wolfbreaks rom,its upto u which u choose,hope u find a solution

Hello.
I'm having problems with my XPERIA x10i phone. This morning I was changing the case with new one. The full case, not just the cover. And then, my software was stuck in a loop at the Sony Ericsson logo. I tried installing the software with PC Companion, Update Service, FlashTool and none of them seems to work! They all stuck at the same place!
What could be the problem???
Thanks in advance!

If you had the battery disconnected during your work changing the case (and you definitely should), then put your phone to charge in wall plug for at least 15 minutes (or even more) and then try to turn it on...

After flashing I'm facing the problem. Now, the phone just shows the lights on the screen, no SE logo...
The flashing finishes perfectly with no errors and the phone is connecting again in flash mode with the green LED in the upper part. But, when I try to turn on the phone, just the blank screen is lighted, no logo...
Is my phone dead?
I think so
Sorry I can't help you.

What is your exact model? Because you stated you were running Gingerbread 2.3.3 on it... Was that the original firmware it came with? I think you need to be in this forum, for the 'big' X10, and not the X10 Mini (e10i).

This is most likely caused by some firewall or other security problem blocking PCC from downloading necessarily components. Check if you can temporarily disable these and try again. I think that should do it.
