I have a x10a and have xrecovery .03 and the newest superuser from the market but not the paid version. Will that have any effect on xrecovery using that instead of busybox? so far after updating to the 2.1.A.0.435 build i've rooted it with the flashtool and used that to install xrecovery ,clean, and optimize my phone no problem. but i want to make sure it wont have any negative effect before i flash a newer rom onto it. Im pretty new to all this so any other tips such as which is your preferred rom or most stable for current situation.thanks for any help
firmware version- 2.1- update1
baseband-2.1.54
kernel-2.6.29 [email protected] #1

Don't matter at all.
that's not entirely correct, many root apps like titanium backup require busybox to function... I would say to definitely install busybox and superuser so you can adjust permissions, otherwise there are many root programs you can't use
thanks i installed the latest busybox and titanium backup pro. quick question though. since i just backed up everything with TBP would i need to make a backup through xrecovery before flashing? or what? and also what is your opinion on the best new rom to use on a x10 with the 2.1.A.0.435 build? thanks for all replies! =]
yes titanium only backs up apps s that you can put everything back on when you flash a new rom, xrecovery takes an image of how your phone is before you flash a new rom, in case you either have problems and have to go back, or in case you just don't like it.
I think the best rom personally is freex10 beta 4...
Are you already on baseband .54? You can check in settings> about>....
yes my phone settings are on the top post. thanks for the tip! guess i'll give that rom a spin and see how it is. this community is great it saved me from regretting choosing this phone knowing the arc comes out 3 months after i buy this one lol.
The arc isn't much better, it is basically the same phone repackaged...
Save your hard earned dollar for a real upgrade. I did basically the same thing, but I don't regret it one bit. The x10 is an awesome phone, but my next phone will be a bigger step up than the arc, neo or play that's for sure.
Yea I'm thinking the atrix once it's been out on the market for a bit. Successfully installed freex10beta4 no problem. Runs great. Love my X10 now =]. Thanks for everyone's help.

well i have a few basic questions i want to get answered from the knowledgeable people here:
1. i have x10i that came with the stock 1.6; to which rom version i should upgrade and how? using the official updates or download the latest rom from here? which rom will be able to be rooted so i can put Hebrew on it?
2. is there ANY way to cancel the home button for turning on the screen from standby? im used to my x1 that has ONLY the power button turns on the screen from standby.
3. which launcher is the best to install?
4. is installing the JIT really helps speed up the x10?
5. what settings and stuff to do and use in order to have the most optimized battery life?
6. how can i cancel the unlock sequence after i turn the screen on from standby?
well basically my question revolves about: what do i need to install in order for my x10 to run the fastest with the latest android while been rooted and have all the stuff im supposed to have in it?
THANKS in advance!

You need to flash with 2.1 version from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793
then you can root with z4root and install busybox then go to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885956
to get you the latest SE version if you have trouble understanding step 4 onwards check post 295 of the thread
If you download linpack from the market and run it on your current version it will retrun around 5 MFLOPS, I have jit with the latest version and it returns 34 MFLOPS so yes it is worth it.
Personal opinion Launcher Pro is the best one

thanks for the reply!
ok so:
1. flash my x10i to X10i_2_0_A_0_504_GLOBAL
2. root my x10i with z4root and then install busybox
3. flash my rooted x10i 2.1 to X10i_2_0_2_A_0_24
4. after phone is updated and all, install and enable JIT.
thats all there is to it in order for my x10i to run the latest and fastest rom?

Basically yes but install xrecovery as well as that makes installing roms and backup / restore function so easy and securly save all your data and apps you do that between 2 and 3

i have nothing on the phone right now anyway but thanks for the help!
can you answer the other questions tho about the x10?
Hi guys..
im still on baseband 2.0.46, i saw the new FreeX10 beta4 was fixed to run on .54 or something?
how do you update the baseband when using a custom rom? do you have to revert back to the official rom or can i update using a custom one?
Not 100% sure but i think we have to flash se dualtouch rom, then root and do the whole install thing again unfortunately. Imma do this later unless someone has an easier way.

hmm, okay then, i guess it would kind of make sense..
thanks
Yesterday while a number of people were debating which route to go, I did it the long way. I had spare time early yesterday morning so I decided to give it a try. Made a backup of my beta 3 in xrecovery, flashed to the generic 2.1.54 baseband, rooted it, installed xrecovery then installed beta4 + gapps. Everything is working fine for me but you don't have to go that route. Others have found a shorter way. If you're on Zs 2.2 beta 3 already, try this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=3904
Credit goes to KULANV for that post. Also if you got time to spare, read pages 380 onwards, quite a few people have tried that and other similar instructions.
Hope that helps.
I have no problem with using the flashtool, downloading the sin file, etc. But the step that says DO NOT let it boot and immediately go into xrecovery is what worries me. I love trying all the new ROMs, but am still always go back to a custom 2.1 because of the cam/videocam, plus no stereo bluetooth dropouts.
My question is, after I do this to update the baseband and flash 2.2 Beta 4 via xrecovery. Can I go back to my old custom 2.1 with older baseband via xrecovery and then switch back and forth via xrecovery afterward? I just don't feel like flashing the entire firmware, rooting, adding JIT v2, then removing all of the SE apps AGAIN for like the 10th time.
u can install any rom on .435 firmware..
u cant install beta 4 on any lower firmware(.24,etc)..
so update to .435 and stay..
happy flashing

Im not entirely sure thats true because it seemed that those with the newer baseband seemed to be having issues with other roms prior to z's beta 4... can someone confirm?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
its mentioned clearly in z's post about using the latest base band. as for Steve's recommendation of not letting it boot, i guess i must have missed it when i upgraded the base band while on 2.1 customised, but the only worst thing that happened was i didn't got any signal on my phone, everything else worked fine, it didn't mattered coz i was to install free x10 v4. and its a fine job done by z. the ROM is great. add green glow theme on it, and nothing's like it.
about xrecovery backup able to change your base band back with restore, i haven't tried it myself, i guess xrecovery devs will be the best guys to check if you're not sure.

I have installed a new 2.1 Global Generic FW on my X10i.
I have z4Root both the 1.1 version and the newer 1.3 version.
Each time I try to root, it will do it, self reset, but afterwards busybox and Titanium Backup don't work and say it's not rooted.
I tried to use the x10 Flash and it also said it would be rooted after a reboot. But the same thing happens, nothing seems to work and it says the cell isn't rooted.
Any suggestions?
I am on FW 2.1 update 1 with a baseband of 2.0.49 and build number 2.0.2.A.0.24
Look for superoneclick that works perfectly.. Think it's on the dev thread.
Edit.. It's a sticky in the general section.

Cool, that worked out just fine. Didn't realize it was something special about that particular FW.

guys right now am in really awkward situation..
my xrecovery working really fine untill i installed wolfxperia uibidoom rom (full wipe+dalvik cache)with ICs theme (ICS-ThemeV1.1),now m stucked xperia boot screen and cannot entered in xrecovery mode
guys please help in that case
btw is there any alternate method to install xrecovery without flashtool (coz i want to reinstall xrecovery in my x10 may be this will work)
one more question
can we install custom roms like wolfxperia's rom & cyno roms in x10 by using flashtool??
ulbldoom was not for locked bootloaders...you got wrong version my friend
Sent from my X10S using xda premium
Yes it appears ur bootloader is locked that is for unlocked bl so wont work. U can install xrec manually but it much easier to use flashtool. Use seus or flash global generic 2.3.3 then root and install xrec
Sent from my X10 using XDA
Try This
Restore your phone via SEUS, then do a complete Root, Bootloader unlock via Flashtool,
Unlocking bootloader will help you a lot, for many custom ROM's you'll require an unlocked bootloader so do that using the flashtool aswell.
Install xRecovery via flashtool (easiest way there is), you can install it manually but it tends to be a bit of a headache !!

same issue
Ive had the same issue only a few days ago where i was afraid i nearly screwed up my phone. I kept ready the forums here tho, and came to the conclusion that
a I used an "outdated" flashtool, and
b I used the wrong kernel file before i flashed... and
c (yes this was beyond stupid) i forgot to put the zip file onto the sd card... so when i was going to flash i didnt have anything to flash.
after that my baby kept still at the SonyEriccson screen.
I got the latest flashtool, flashed the Generic 2.3.3 and restarted from scratch.
I now have the Darkedition 1.5 installed. It looks really nice, but its just not my rom, so i will keep looking for a new rom. I'd like a smooth and sleak rom. just to keep it fast and furious.
i still love my phone, even after having it for over a year... something that's never happened to me before.

I downloaded the feralab 11 rom and will try and figure out how to get that installed properly without have to spend a few more days in a rom trying to fix my phone.
if anyone has any other suggestions for a clean and fast rom, i'm all ears.
Try feralab. Its pretty good

Ok, checking out Feralab v11.2 gaming edition rom. so far installation runs without problems... installed with unlocked bootloader Kernel from DooMKernel v6.
I hope it will run smooth. I'll keep you posted.

Rom istalled without a hitch. ran the script afterwards, and so far it runs smoother than i have ever seen this phone run!
Market isnt working yet, but that may require a few reboots and otherwise i'll get that fixed in another way.
Since i can post in the FeraVolt's thread, i'll just say THANK YOU over here. freaking nice work dude!
Google Play/Market not working
Did a complete reinstall, even preformatted the SD card, since it was full of crap anyway. did the install the way FeraVolt suggested. everything works fine, just not the market. anyone have a similar problem or sollution?
I tried to download the apk externally, didnt make a difference. I didnt see any other google apps? might the problem lie in a missing google framework? or missing other google apps? I havent had much time to spend reading into the issue, but hopefully tonight i can find out some more. meanwhile... any help is appreciated.

well i used Thgo v16 rom n cynogen rom in my xperia
