Hi everyone,
Because I'm new on this forum, I can't ask on the dev thread...
The J's tutorial says that we have to flash some parts in order to install 2.3 on X10. Should I flash with xRecovery or another app?
I'm writing french tutorial so thanks for answers
u need to flash the new firmware which will give you .54 .... i'd say use flashtool to do that. look for the many threads talking about the .54
go to this thread and follow instructions for flashing baseband http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939812
Did you hear about this one superawesome SEARCH button?

Hi folks!
I'm just a newbie... I searched in the forums but I didn't find any clear answers.
I bought an Xperia x10a (it's an At&t world phone) And as you already know, I'm so frustrated waiting for the 2.1 update for At&t phones that I'm considering to debrand my phone, so at this point I have two questions:
1-If I debrand my world phone, Will I be able to update to the next software version using SEUS, or it is mandatory to debrand and then use the firmwares posted in the forums to flash it and finally get 2.1+Dual touch?
2-In case that I have to flash my phone, does these roms come with Timescape, mediascape and moxier mail(this one is replaced by at&t for an app called "work email" that I don't like at all) but I'd like to preserve timescape and mediascape.
I'll keep waiting for your answers and sorry if this question is already answered in another thread, as I mentioned before, I'm very very newbie not only in android but xda-developers forum.
Best regards

u dont need to debrand anything.
just download flashtool. pick the firmware you want.
in your case you probably want 2.1, build .435 right ? its all over the forums look around. and flash it using flashtool.
from there you can root, jit, and install xrecovery as well.
there is a guide how to use flashtool on youtube if u cannot get it from the thread about how to use flashtool.
and yes it comes with those things.
push thanks if i helped.
edit: here i'll just point you to it since i ended up looking at it anyway.

again. no debrand needed. just youtube for a tutorial on how to use the flashtool if u cant figure it out.
Hi everyone,
I have a X10 since september, but I'm kind of a noob with all this X10-modding thing. Please move my topic if it's not in the right place. I have a couple of questions, and sometimes you're gonna think that I'm an idiot, but I prefer to be sure of what I have to do exactly before I do anything.
So my X10 is branded with a Orange France rom, which is still in firmware 2.0.A.0.504 (baseband 2.0.46). I don't have multitouch at all and it's laggy.
First, I read this topic about backing up my current rom (in case I have a problem and/or I have to send it to repair). I have downloaded Bin4ry's flash tool and seen that I can use it to extract .sin files from FILE_XXXXXXX files. Is this method still ok ? The link to the jerpelea SIN Reconstructor is dead, so is it possible to reconstruct the ftf file with Bin4ry's flash tool ? If yes, what files do I have to put in the bundle (I don't obtain the same files as in the tutorial) ? And when I get the ftf file, in order to get my phone back to its original firmware, do I simply have to add the ftf file in the firmware folder and then flash ?
I also have another set of questions ^^. For example, if I root my X10, then I modify the build.prop file (as described in this topic) to match a generic code, and then repair my phone through PC Companion / SEUS, will I get a generic rom ? And if I want to switch back to my original firmware, is putting back the original code and updating enough ?
About basebands now : if I download a rom, is the baseband file already included or do I have to include its .ftf file too ? How exactly does this work ? (I have read a lot of people saying that it's important to have a baseband matching your rom, but I didn't get how to actually do it ). I assume that SEUS / PC Companion do the baseband update automatically ?
I have read quite a lot of tutorials, not always understanding every step. Thanks a lot to those who will answer my noob questions...
Read this thread and ALL of Flashtool howto guide. The files for getting the latest baseband are in there along with the the howto guide. The howto is by Rendeiro2005. Read that.
That will help you get the download the latest baseband and use flashtool to flash it to your phone. Keep posting with questions if your still stumped after looking at it. Good luck.
Here is the link to flashtool:

I use the .54 baseband.
Thanks for your answer Voelker45.
I have read the flashtool tutorial (the how-to for n00bs, lol), but it's still unclear wether I need to use a separate .ftf file for the baseband or not.
What about backing up my current rom and changing the code in build.prop ?
Thanks

Don't separate the ftf file and don't change the code for the build.prop. I never heard of changing that code so never changed it. Just use the ftf file as is and you should be good to go for flashing. Put the ftf file in the firmwares folder of flashtool and the steps of the guide SHOULD help you from there. Keep posting if you have questions.
Backing up won't help you till you have xrecovery. which I can help you with when you finish with flashtool and then rooting the phone. Flashtool is going to get rid of all data on phone when you flash the latest baseband.
Thank you . I am not going to do this now (I'm a student and I have an exam next week), but probably in one or two weeks. I'll keep you posted when I proceed !
So there is no build.prop method ? Then how can you restore your original branded rom ? =S
I dont know anything about that build thing. So i wouldnt do anything with it till someone else tells u. The backup will have to wait. Well good luck on exams

Hi ive tried to do alot of research as to how to flash roms and so im not getting a clear image from anyone thats posting things. Again im new to galaxy s2 got it bout 2 days ago and id like to be a flash junkie again from my x10 thaats how i was what i want to find out from anyone that can assist me and explain step by step how to flash roms on my device. my sgs2 is from bell and its kg2 with 2.3.3 and i see on forums of 2.3.5. so id like to know if im able to flash any roms on my phone and how to flash and things it doesn't seem straight foward as how xperia x10 was lol sorry for being a noob. once i get my answers go ahead mods or admins to closing my thread. thank you
You can check out this thread for a step by step guide for installing 2.3.5. You can also find all the firmware's leaked/official that you can flash here. The only thing I would advice is for you to read up as much as you can and familiarize yourself with Odin, if you are not already. Also when flashing roms it's safest if you don't include the .pit file. If you ever want to flash back to the stock bell rom, you can find it here. Good luck and happy flashing
Hello. I came here from the Xperia X10 mini forum, because i just got a S2
Thing is i don't know what to do with it. With the SE it was different, I was a SE user my whole life, so I was up to date with how to do things on SE droids (root, flash with flashtool, etc.). But i have 0 experience with samsung.
I have:
PDA: I91000XWKE2
BASEBAND: I9100XXKDJ
KERNEL: 2.6.35.7-i9100xwke2-cl187606 [email protected] #2
It's running droid 2.3.3 and I cant update with KIES because it gives me windows encountered a problem etc etc... the old send dont send but on windows 7 (x64).
So I would like to flash it to a 2.3.5 rom and root it. Can anyone explain how do I do this? I don't know what and where to search because I'm new to samsung.
So far i have downloaded ODIN 1.85 and a found this "GT-I9100_OXA_I9100XXKI3_I9100XXKI3_I9100OXAKI3" file. What do i do with it? (also explain steps plz).
I never had a smartphone in my life before I got my SGS2, and I managed to flash all the ROMs without creating threads with questions that are answered in stickies. But maybe I'm a genius, not anyone can be one.
So, try here for starters.. or just search around.
install this kernel and read all the texts.

You should now be root and have cmw recovery, and you can flash pretty much any rom you want.
Not to familiar with teh sony's but i assume you had clockwock mod recovery?
Odin to flash, cf root to flash as kernel to allow root and get cwm, cwm to flash a custom rom as a quick guide on what to search. Generally reading around will help.

Ty for the reply guys. Really apreciate the help and am reading everything you posted.
But 1 thing: witha ll respect, stop acting like I'm using up your personal space, I opened this thread for a reason, because i dont understand sh!t, and reading wont help unless i start to read the very beginning.
When i was at the Xperia thread, i used a program called Flashtool to flash a new generic rom to my X10 mini pro. It also updated the baseband (and basebands where important when i flashed a custom ROM, you needed to have latest baseband and kernel to flash X,Y,and Z custom roms).
I just want to update to the original samsung 2.3.5 ROM with odin (as kies sucks and wont work) and the rest will be easy. Don't want CWM and root yet, just a plain stock 2.3.5 rom. I just wanted to know if i can flash THAT file (first post, long text) to my phone with ODIN.
Again, thank you very much for the support, and will continue to read everything you guys post here.
It's easy to say search for this and search for that when you know exactly what to search for. In my case, I dont even know where to begin. And i would like to finish this "job" in the next 2 hours, as after that its time to sleep :/

No offence mate but when I moved from an HTC to a Samsung based device I was a newb then to, coming from another phone to different methods to another new method I got to grips with everything just reading around.
To answer your questions, yes you can flash a stock rom using odin, all you need is to check out intratechs thread in original development section, as of now KJ3 is the latest 2.3.5 firmware, download a frankenstein version and read his thread which had a guide on what to put where.

Your original post mentioned you wanted to root it hence I gave you the easiest way of doing so is to flash cf root, searching cf root would have given you that thread plus instructions within that thread.

well i flashed that rom i pasted there and it worked. Was simple once i knew i need to put that in PDA and start it.
Yes i know about CF root and will be my next move. Thank you so much for everythingyou posted (again). And will REread every post again for extra knowledge. Need to forget everything i know about SE and learn new stuff.

Searching in XDA is not very difficult plus reading beforehand is an awesome practice
You should first ROOT your device, see this:

1 st root ur mobile = that is getting administrator rights
then install custom recovery like clockworkmod

i already follow this instrucions(root)
