Hey people,
I updated my X10i yesterday to zdzihu's freeX10 beta 4, using baseband 2.1.54.
I backupped my data with xrecovery and with sony Ericsson's backup and restore, but I'm unable to retrieve the data.
Backup and restore isn't stock on the rom, and I can't install a .apk file, when I do so my phone says "application not installed".
I tried advanced restore in xrecovery to restore only data, but then my phone gets stuck on the boot screen with the sony ericsson logo, so I have to pull out my battery, restart xrecovery and restore a backup which I performed just after the update.
I would really like to get my data back, is there any way to do this? And how can I prevent such data loss in the future?
Regards,
junkiejake

I would suggest a fresh install of free x10 beta4... DO NOT RESTORE ANY THING.. the problem is that you are updating from anDroiD 2.1 to 2.2.. a whole version... apps cannot be restored if you jump from one version to another...
HIT THANKS BUTTON IF HELPED IN
ANYWAY..!

Both won't work. You should've backed up your data with mybackuppro or similar apps.... I ran into the same problem (since I used the stock backup & restore app).
I think the only way to retrieve the data (contacts, sms etc.) is to flash back to the stock rom, and back up your data with other apps before flash to custom rom again. As for the apps, I hope you kept a copy in your computer somewhere if it's not on the SD...

Ah yes I haven't thought about that!
Where can I get an official 2.1 rom? I was looking on the forum but I don't know which version I have to choose, as I live in Holland but there are only German and United Kingdom versions to download?

It shouldn't matter... as long as it's the 2.1 rom it should have the original backup & restore app installed. So you could restore your data with it and backup with something else.
This thread has all the firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10879519&postcount=2
I think you should go with X10i 2.1_2.0.2.A.0.24_GENERIC with DualTouch.

If things get stuck at downloading its normally a problem at goods end not yours. Have you tried going to settings/manage applications/all applications/market and clean clear the cache and force close it and then rebooting to solve your problem. This works most of the time

Yes, i tried.
- Begin with my X10 in 2.0.2.A.0.24
- I installed first the baseband with your "Baseband 2.1.54, A beginners guide for x10I / x10a"
- BusyBox and xRecovery installed an works ok.
- Flash Beta4 with xRe3covery and all ok, except by this problem with market.
- Restore full backup and the Oficial ROM works ok, except again with market.
- Recovery with SE PC Companion, and all works except by Market. Curiosly... xRecovery doesn't work (Back key after Sony Ericson logo), it's possible that PC Companion erase it.
- I flash the ROM X10i_2_0_A_0_504_GLOBAL
- With SuperOneClick, i rooted again my X10
- With FlashTool, install BusyBox and xRecovery (by Advanced), but xRecovery don't load.
- At this moment, i have a X10 with:
Model: X10i
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Baseband: 2.0.46
Kernel: 2.6.29 [email protected]#1
Build Number: 2.0.A.0.504
Without any posibility of install any app!!! My X10 return to a single Nokia 1100 state
You need to root your device with the flash tool and install xrecovery with it too and then go back to my guide

I have the same problem with the old market. To install anything you just have to wait, after a while you will see selected app downloading and installing. If it takes more then 4 minutes just cancel your download, start it again and wait. That's why i have to use new market.

I had the same problem, it's an issue of baseband. You just have to install new baseband (2.1.54) using flasher(not sure if it's the right name of this program). If you want to install new rom, you won't be able to recovery the old android 2.1 because the old baseband is not available on the internet. Think about that! Because it's akready to late for me

I had rooted x10. Now it is a brick. I've installed Anim Mod from market. I've set blurry effect and app asked to reboot m phone. After reboot it stucks on SONY ERICSSON text. Help!
ughhh this thread AGAIN?
Like the other hundred topics about this, use seus and reflash to stock
This is only way?
no, if you make backup you can reflash it, otherwise u must use seus

You can either use:
1. SEUS and reflash the SE official 2.1
2. Use flashtool.
3. If you created a backup using xRecovery, you can restore it.
No backup
You cant brick the x10 just shut down the phone press and hold back button insert usb and.tada you're in flash mode. Your data will be lost but hey phone will work again

My x10 was rooted on 2.1 before the .435 update, after i did the .435 update it wont root (z4root)
Im going thru threads to see how that problem was solved but to no avail,
i followed steps set out here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-922931.html but i get stuck on step 7 because flashtool wont recognose the x10 unless its switched on and step 5 and 6 indicate that the x10 must still be switched off. Pls advice

hows the CM ROM?
Id like to try out but not sure if ill install it well
It ain't rocket science, and as long as you got busybox and xrecovery installed, there is little you can do wrong..
It's all pretty neat explained in the ROM threads

hey man, you can actually use xRecovery to backup your phone (create a backup) that can be restored at a later date. This way you can backup, flash a new ROM to play/test with, then restore your original ROM when done.
Note: you will NOT be able to restore contacts/apps/settings into the test ROM with this method, for that you will need to use something like My Backup Root before flashing the test ROM.
hope that makes sense

@mrtim123 thanx, now i understand what xrecovery is for, i thought thats what titanium back is for because i backed up when i upgraded to .435. My contacts are synced to my laptop so i can get them back thats ok.
Ive installed the flash tool on my laptop, now i gotta find the CM Installation thread to install.i hear that the CM ROM makes your phone faster and battery lasts longer, will my apps need to be re installed again from xrecovery or will they remain on the phone with the new CM ROM?

You have to do a full wipe before installing the new ROM.
That means you have to reinstall/restore your apps.
And it would be better not to restore data via xrecovery, you can get force close or maybe you have to flash the ROM again
I prefer restoring via an app like titanium backup or my backup root.

hey man, when you flash a ROM using xRec (and do full wipe) the first time you boot your phone is like when you first get the phone - no non-standard apps, no contacts, no anything (except what is on your sd card). you will be able to restore apps that you backed up using MyBackupRoot or Titanium backup though, once you have booted into the new ROM.
have fun!
btw - click on CyanogenMod link in my signature for the thread on Wolfbreaks CM rom

Hello people,
right yesterday i have sold my Xperia x10i and bough my self Omnia 7 Samsung....now after selling the phone i did factory reset deleted all files from phone and i formated my 16gb HC SD hard that i had inside.
Now after i did facotry reset,the guy that bough a phone(my good friend) have next problems:
1.Market not showing all application as it did before.
2.Cant find the Wi-Fi as we all can,and before reset phone found it everytime.So the wireless i used on that phone before i did factory reset is not showing anymore ....
-Now i am wondering what problem could be.Because i didnt do much flashing and so on on Xperia i am asking is it possible to get Market Back showing all apps and make wi fi work again as it did?
-I am using new baseband i am sure it's .61 and new rom that got realsed reacently on the forums...
Baseband is : 2.1.67 and Firmware or Rom w/e is 2.1.b.0.1...
-If i root my phone again and install xrecovery and do a Clear Chache and everything to reset to default and flash the rom or firmware again could that solve a problem? If not please say what i could go.
How about using sues and then root and install recovery again. Probablly quicker in the long run.

Not working what could possibly be error? In it? What i should do to make it work again and to show all application in market and to find every Wi-fi?
It's Unbranded and it's X10i not X10a or so
Flash to any stock firmware and he ll be fine
Hey
I was on GingerReal1.4, and wanted to try out overclocking on CM7. Made a backup on CWM and then installed CM7, tried, happy and decided to go back.
Now when I try to restore the backup, most of my apps arent being detected and the launcher is back to touchwiz and I can't seem to find superuser also. I assumed this maybe because sd-ext is not being detected. So I tried installing a2sd-gui from my titanium backup, that seems to work and isn't showing me any problem. I also tried reinstalling the kernel, didn't work.
And Ive tried restoring about 5 times till now, same result.
Am I doing something wrong?? Any help would be rly rly awesome...
Thanks

Thanks a lot guys
Then logically the problem is in that backup.
yea, that's what I'm thinking, though I did not get any errors while doing the backup.
I read about someone else having a similar issue a long tym back in the galaxy s forum, and i dont see any suggestions or solutions there.
Anyway, given up for now, will take care of it some other tym...
Backing up all i got and switching to CM now.
Do let me know if something pop's up and you remember this issue of mine.
Thanks again
No.. The backup is not the problem. I have read somewhere that the problem lies with the bootloader.
When you upgrade to CM 7, it uses the 2.3.7 bootloader. And now you are trying to restore a backup associated with a 2.3.4 bootloader. The restore does not contain the bootloader. Thus you may experience a bootloop.
The only get around is to flash via odin.
Hit thanks if i helped.

What do you mean when you say you cant root anymore because you have CWM? Rooting and CWM are on separate tracks in this case, CWM does not stop you from rooting your phone. Are you saying you dont want to root?
Also, rooting is very simple, just change your kernel to cf-root(to be flashed via CWM, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158197 ) and you get added advantages like ext4, BLN, a2sd support etc.
PS: Read all you can before doing anything
