Hi guys,
I've been looking for a solution but i couldnt find any.
I have a x10i and just updated to 2.1 with flashtool 0.2.6. after the upgrade the icon of the camera appeared flashing and dumb of me I shutted down the phone.
As a result I am on 2.1 but the camera is not working. When I open the camera application says that is not responding.
Any solution? maybe flash back to 1.6 and upgrade again? or upgrade to 2.1.1 that I just saw? can I upgrade only the camera firmw
Have to say that as I the *.ftf file downloaded I flashed again but the problem still
Before you used flashtool, what version were you on?
After you used flashtool, can you boot? make calls? Is everything fine except the camera?
Anyway, a SE Update Service or PC Companion repair is good start to get your phone working.
I was on 1.6
I just tried to update to the 2.1.1 and the problem still. Downgraded to 2.0.1 and still.
Now I am downloading the 1.6 . BTW what obsession with the rapidshare, megaupload & Co. :S are the hell of slow
Update service gets stuck (no always on the same place) and on the Pc companion the support zone just doesnt want to install. So no oficial ericsson solution for me

Why doesn't it want to install? If it says You've already got the latest software just press install. Then it will recovery your phone.

In SE PC companion when I click on the Support Zone a window appear saying "The application is not installed. This application couln't be installed. Please try again later"
can someone upload a generic 1.6 *.ftf to dropbox and share?
that would be lifesaving
hey mate.. try tis...

use root explorer to do the operation
download the camera apk
transfer to ur sdacard.
then transfer the camera apk to /system/data
lastly, remember to change the permission

just finished trying. The application is installed and opens but after 30sec with the screen black the phone reboots. It happened before with the original application. Is not the solution but thanks!
you know if I can access the firware of the camera the same way?
still a good link for a generic 1.6 may help
thanks
just found a file called camfirm.bin in /system/etc/firmware wich is 992.00K
would you mind checking the size of yours to see if it is incomplete?
any ideas of how to access/overwrite/delete this?

Hello All,
I bricked my x10, and did a PC companion update repair. I also reformatted the sd card. However, now I cannot root with z4. It is stuck on " running exloit in order to obtain root access, or that it exits and when I try to go back into the program, it says that an unexpected error had occurred and need to force stop. Once its force stopped, I cannot go back into the program. I tried restarting the phone, but the same thing happened. I reformatted my phone and card two more times, but same problem exists. Please help! Thanks!

Try uninstalling it. Then, make sure you download it to the sdcard before you install it using Astro or equivalent. I had a similar problem when I tried to install it straight from dropbox rather than downloading it to the sdcard first and then installing it.
I hope you are not trying to root the latest Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 FW because that is not rootable at the moment?
how do I know if I have the Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 FW?? I went to 'about phone" and only see that the firmware version is 2.1 update1. is that the unrootable firmware? I also tried using astro to install it thru sd card but it still doesnt work..... maybe I should just root it with one click and not use z4 anymore?

Go to settings --> about phone and scroll down. It should tell you what build you have.
aiya... it appears that I do have the 2.0.2.A.0.2.4 FW. thats why z4root wont work..... is there a way that I can revert back the firmware? is this FW recently released? What is the advantage of this FW over the older version?? Thanks

Yes it is recently released. It is a minor update that fixes some bugs but, there is no official changelog from SE. You can flash back to older FW from here.

First, install X-recovery and read the instructions here.
Second, go here and follow the instructions in post #1.
Third, go here to install JiT.
Each post has very simple instructions, so just read through them. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the help, but can I install xRecovery on an un-rooted phone? Because the xRecovery post says that the requirement is that the phone must be un-rooted .... do I still have a chance?

You can flash to an older FW from the link I gave you earlier in post #8. Use Z4root to root and then install x-recovery.
which firmware should I download? I have a x10i, but the firmware in the flashing post only have Nordic, German and CH under x10i. Is there an English version? Thanks!

got it work by re-flahsing it back to the old FW. Didnt bother to update to the newer FW, but everything feels fine! Thanks everyone!
Do we need to re-root and re install all the apps everytime that there is a FW update? like re do the whole process when a new FW gets released??

The wife finally decided to update her phone last night but we get an error
"unable to install or start phone software update"
the software on the PC is up to date, there's no proxy, firewall or AV software
I spent hours last night trawling the web for answers (and on here) but cannot find anything
anyone know how to help?
will it matter if the update to 2.1 was done manually by me from a file I got from on here (they took so long to release to the UK so I did the update following a thread on here like loads of others did)
any help appreciated with this
the phone isn't rooted (yet)
I will be rooting and putting on a new 2.2 or 2.3 ROM in the future but she hasn't the time to back everything up and re-install and set everything up yet

You can backup first all your applications, SMS and contacts (I'm using MyPhoneExplorer from Market to do this)then try flashing using the latest Flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746&highlight=2.1.A.0.435
i have been up all night trying to look for possible solutions to my phonebook and calling errors but to no avail...could anyone instead point mo to the right direction...i would want to flash my phone and restore it to its original stock settings...whenever i try the flash tool, it seems it couldnt find the ftf file for my baseband...when i tried the flasher included for my baseband.46 it doesnt restore everythinng to its original state...
finally after almost 2 days of trial and error i finally got my phone to work...next stop to install custom firmwares...
the process com.sonyericsson.android. socialphonebook has stopped.

seus is sony ericsson update service.you need to first download this from the se product site.Once you install and open this application on your pc,the rest of the work is very easy and explained step by step.go for it.another thing---in future before you flash any custom rom,backup your virgin 2.1 using xrecovery so that you can always go back to this opening condition when you are troubled by the custom rom you have installed.
do press the thanks button if this helps you.
Ok, sathkartha.
I'll try it and remember to do the backup. Was my first time and i forgot to do the backup when i remembered was too late.If it works i'll post the result here and press the thanks button.
Thanks
sathkartha,
so, I've made it and followed the intructions and the message that came up for me was:
"No new software is available for your phone. Your phone already has the latest available software isntalled"
Do you have any idea what I can do from now?
Thanks

should I downgrade to 1.6 to seus works?

The SEUS's version is 2.11.4.11 the latest.
I was using the PC Companion and when it says to disconnect, turn off the phone and connect again the message that comes is: "there is no version. try again later"

Thanks for the print, but it doesn't appear for me.
I'll keep trying. Any result i post here.
look at the screen which shows to me
shuold i put some archive in /system or /system/bin?
I think I see what the problem is here:
miniCM uses a modified build.prop so that neither SEUS nor PC Companion update the firmware at any moment,that's why your SEUS says that it doesn't have nay new software for you.
I'd say that instead of trying to go back to 2.1, rather try to do a clean install of any of the custom ROMs, and please do follow the instructions to the letter, most freezing and rebooting in custom ROMs happen due to not doing a factory reset before installing them.
@Akath19 i understand. I would like to go back to 2.1, make a backup and then install a custom ROM. Because I've tried to install a lot of time the custom ROM and this problem keeps boring me.
Talking about build.pro... there is some solution for it? like change this specific build.prob for another one that makes SEUS works?
ohh
you have to flash with the flashtool
because seus or other software couldn't flash it
sorry
Hello,
I did something very stupid: I installed JIT enabler at my X10i running on rooted 2.3 Gingerbread and now my phone does not boot past the white "Sony Ericsson" logo.
If this is somehow helpful, I have XRecovery installed and I'm able to boot it. However, I haven't created a backup.
Please, help me as fast as possible, because I'm a bit desparate.
Thanks, in advance!
You mustn't use JIT on Android higher than 2.1 -
1. Cause it will make something like you have right now.
2. Android 2.3 has it in standard, so no need to use it pal .
To fix this, just flash some official ROM via FlashTool, or use PcCompanion.
Cheers mate.

Just do the same as I did (PC Companion → Repair)! I think that it doesn't wipe your data (or at least not those at the SD card).
