Hey guys, can anyone help me out here?
I downloaded and installed My Free X10 Beta 4.. I'm pretty sure I did everything properly but it left me with one problem, it wasn't letting me enter the SIM card pin and therefore wouldn't receive signal, causing it to reboot constantly..
I've tried changing the SIM lock on startup off but to no avail - I only get errors..
Since nothing else is working I want to downgrade back down to the Stock 2.1 version, can anybody help me? Much appreciated, thanks.
If u made a backup before u did the flash then u can restore the backup but u probably didn't lol... so u have to flash 2.1 Alltel over again

Actually I did, using the Backup and Restore app thingy, how do I restore it from there? Thanks!
If you used the SE backup and restore app then that won't be any use - it only backs up content, not Firmware..
Your best course of action is probably to try doing a repair using SEUS, or use flashtool to flash a standard SE ROM.
You know I was considering trying out Titanium Backup.. Too late now!
So I should just trying update in SEUS as normal and see what happens from there?
Sorry I'm such a noob. -.-
Yes - plug into SEUS and it will either say that you have the latest firmware, or will try to update your phone.. if it says that you have the latest firmware then you should be able to select the "repair" option...
If SEUS doesn't let you re-install the firmware then you'll need to reflash a standard ROM first.
Thanks for your help so far, you're a lifesaver
I'll try that now and get back to you when its done!
Ummmm. Not good, ran through SUES fine but its not working at all...
The phone starts up with the SE name and symbol then shuts down straight away?!

give it another flash using SEUS mate, occasionally there are problems when flashing a ROM.
If you are keen, you could use the flash tool that binary has posted. Pick the appropriate ROM package from his list, start the flasher batch file, restart the phone in flash mode and wait a few minutes.
binary's tool lives here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201 and another thread with more info is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10738467
Good luck and have patience - you cannot kill the x10 so it wont boot so you will be ok
Thanks mate, you've actually calmed me down now. It could be a late night but i'll figure this out.
Well if u had made that backup with xrecovery u would have been okay!

Go into the SEUS and use the repair function,It will reset the phone and give you the latest firmware.
Then use the XDA flash tool to re root it,Worked great for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965202
Sorry was away from the computer yesterday..
Well a new problem, the phone isn't staying on long enough to connect to SUES.. All the stuff in them other posts about Binary is going in one ear out the other, so to say.
Can you get into flash mode at all for SEUS?
If not, try taking the battery out, then connect the USB cable, hold down the back button, and replace the battery.
Beta 4 does not work on all devices
Hi,
in order to get back a working X10 just flash the beta3. I've had the same problem and flashed the beta3 (plus Google Applications) and afterwards it worked well
Regards
Stefan
Okay, all this stuff is confusing me, try talk in noobish terms I dont understand this flashing and stuff..
I'm upto the stage where I have the flasher, just how do I flash the software onto it? Thanks for your help so far guys..
Actually, ignore it, I managed to repair it with SUES and i'm back on 2.1 I think i'll think twice before installing Betas again! Cheers for all your help guys!!

hi There
PLEASE HELP ASAP I THINK IV BROKE MY BELOVED X10
Im new to all this Mod stuff and i have no experience at ....... But I LOVE this Theme i found , its amazing!!!!!! so i rooted my phone using super oneclick, i then found RECOVERY, also got the theme [X.Gbread for 2.1 Official ROM 2.0.2.A.0.24 + Battery Circle] [new-v0.6]
Installed everything it all and was great!! everything went smooth, but some things were missing on the theme like the new swipe button, the wallpaper, the new clock etc so...... i then installed a previous version [X.Gbread for 2.1 Custom ROM AOSP], thinking that version had the bits i needed and the later version i installed first was a add-on, and now the phone will not boot up, it gets past the Sony Ericsson but wont boot past the Nexus S Bootanimation, then it restarts itself, and starts all over again, i dont know what to do as i know NOTHING about flashing phones. PLEASE HELP
Phone specs - what i had before
X10i
2.1 Update1
build no. 2.0.A.0.504
Rooted with SuperOneClick
Also busybox
Many Thanks
Leon
************* update i can get the phone to the Xrecovery screen, ive tried reinstalling both of the themes but it gets to the lock screen and when the lock comes off, a box comes up with a triangle exclamation mark on it that says 'Weeks' on it and underneath it says "year" with a button that says "%1$s %2$s" and when you press it nothing happens apart from sometimes the writing year changes to years, after a minute it reboots and does the same thing.
does anybody know how i could sort this out???
Have i 'bricked' the phone?? if so what does that mean and can i sort it?? would i be able to send it in for repair??
or how i could i flash i back to the original SE theme, with out it starting up????
hopefully somebody can save me because at the moment i have not got a phone and i love my x10 sooooo much!!!!!!
i knew i should have just left it alone!!!!!!!!
Thanks Leon
i would recommend you to do
1. a full wipe using the recovery
2. re-install the theme u wanted. (perhaps u should re-download the theme u wanted)
btw, did u install using the option "install custom zip"?
if those above does not helps,
1. re-install the firmware using SEUS or flashtools from Bin4ry
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201&highlight=flash.
2. root it and install xRecovery and then install the themes u wanted.
You'll have to really flash. The problem here was that you mixed up to FW (.24 & .504) when you installed the first theme... it clearly says for which version it is my friend....
So reflash to any ROM you want but check first the theme you're aplying and also if you have Xrecovery do a backup before any Mod so you don't have to reflash again...
Have fun you're not the first nor the last with this I've been there done that more than once....

I have done a full wipe then installed [X.Gbread for 2.1 Official ROM] from sd card.
I believe for my version no. 2.0.A.0.504 it came up with the same box as before, unable to get onto my homescreen but can see it in the background.
i dont know if i will be able to reinstall the SE firmware as it looks very complicated. im in England and it looks like i would have to use the Nordic software???? im not sure please could somebody let me know of any easier way of installing SE firmware back on???
thanks you so much for this

I've accidently done system format and wiped my whole phone. When I switch the phone on it sticks on the "Sony Ericsson" screen, I've tried pressing the back button hoping to get back to xrecovery but everything has gone.
I've read a few posts saying that pc companion can fix the problem but after trying that it doesn't find my phone, what has made it worse I don't have any back up stored anywhere to try fixing the problem
Can anyone please help me get my phone up and running again especially as it is my main contact to my son
Uninstall pc companion and redownload and install it,(That should sort the drivers out to recognise your phone) and if that does not work try SEUS
looks like you will have to go back to stock then use flashtool to root and reinstall xrecovery and start again...

Thanks. In the process of downloading both now. Would I be able to go back to stock using either of these as I did not have anything backed up, not even the stock rom....my rom was stock anyway only rooted to get rid of certain apps
As an alternative you can use the flashtool and flash a generic firmware. That will put a stock rom and maybe even get an updated baseband depending on which firmware you grab. Check this thread and maybe bookmark it too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Yes, either of these will put you on stock rom with the latest firmware and baseband for your region and phone.
hope you manage to sort it out...let me know if you have any problems, you can always pm if you need to

Go to HERE and download Flashtool 0.4.2.0, with it, you can root, install xrecovery and unlock bootloader, if you wish.
You need have android 2.3.3, and don´t downgrade kernel.
If you want, install stock firmware.
It´s easy.
right, so do i just click install recovery?
because i rooted it, exactly like that, im running busybox version 1.8.4 or something like that, someone told me it automatically installed xrecovery when i rooted it... is this true? thanks
When you root phone with flashtool, it just root your phone. For install xrecovery you need click on install xrecovery, and when it over, you have xrecovery installed.

Yes, you click the install recovery button. And no, when you root your phone, xrecovery is not added.
A little reminder also, you will never break the x10 by flashing to many times. So every time you run into something like accidentally downgrading kernels, just flash stock FW and start over. Again, the only true way for someone to permanently damage the x10 is only by damaging the USB port. So hold dear to that little port.
Hope you resolve your issue brah. Peace

so this happened when i try to apply this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306044 and after i carelessly copied framework-res.apk to system/framework using root explorer without setting the correct permissions, my phone automatically shuts off and try to restart but it failed, it stucked on the big sony ericsson logo and 'sony ericsson' text.
i have pull out the battery hundred times and try to reboot my phone normally but it didnt worked it still stucked on the sony ericsson logo.
so can anyone help me please...
what tools/application should i get to fix this?
first of all, i dont want to wipe/lose/factory reset my phone memory data because that would make my phone contacts gone which i never ever want to happen. so please is it possible to backup my contacts somewhere else if wiping is the answer at least??
okay i took a lot of time to type this and hoping someone give me an answer

Congratulations, you have felt the power of customizing Android for the first
Actually, one way to fix this now, is to get back to fully stock firmware.
The second way would be to unlock bootloader, install a custom kernel, enter recovery and use Fix Permissions option. Unfortunately, not all Recoveries have this, only some versions of ClockworkMod Recovery. I have used many kernels on my LWW and only some of these included this option and I can't remember which one had, which not.

If contacts is too important for you and you have no backups, then go for the 2nd way - Unlock bootloader and install a custom kernel, which offers the Fix Permissions option.
I will check the Update Service, if Repair option will erase user data or not, currently updating my phone.
EDIT: Yes, removes all data.

Actually, i think you could've salvaged your phone without the need of flashing it... If you had access to CWM, you could've put framework file into zip file and flash it with CWM. It helped me once when i got stuck in bootloop after failed installation of a mod

its very easy to recover your phone if you got bootloop or stuck at sony ericsson logo. dont sweat.
first of all you need a stock .ftf firmware downloaded. any .ftf stock firmware .58/62/42 or whatever as long as it is stock.
then download and install flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309
then put your downloaded .ftf firmware at c:/program files/flashtool/firmwares/"your downloaded .ftf firmware"
then open flashtool and click on the lightning icon. and choose flashmode.
then press volume down button, while you do that connect your phone to pc using usb then flash the firmwares. then boom your phone back to life
