Hi. I did use search but the similar threads were about other phones.
So, ive installed this rom kX10 R2B001 - 03FEB11, from here
and ive had some problems getting the stock backup & restore to work. There were some threads about that but none was conclusive, and now am left with a fast x10 and no data to restore. My option at this point is find a backuper that can read the file i created or go stock, backup using some other thing and then go custom.
So, i know i can, my question is : how exactly do i go from a custom ROM to a stock one? am using a 2.1 Xperia X10i
Use Sony Ericsson PC companion and use the repair function gets you to stock firmware.

found a few semi-related threads in other forums but i want x10 users advice.
im in canada on rogers network and i updated my phone to one of wolfbreaks first gingerbreads. works well but i want the rogers specific firmware and they have apparently released it.
SO .. i have flashed 2.1.71 and the new kernel which i think will screw me up if i try to just plug in pc companion or seus, so, i want to restore my backup from 2.1 (i kept a stock optimized one just in case i ever f**d my phone up) ... will restoring this backup put my baseband and kernel back? or do i have to flash them seperatly?
what should i do?

Firstly using the new baseband and kernel would not screw you over when you are using SEUS to downgrade.
And I would recommend you to just stay on Wolf's rom, stock(untweaked) roms would give you performance that is nowhere near customised roms.
Hi guys!
I'ved instal X10i_2.1.A.0.435_ORA-RO GENERIC 1239-5661.zip (161 MB) and upgrade it to 2.3 and it work very very slow,unlock slide works very slow , sometimes i unlock the phone and the main screen it's empty,no whigets, if i touch the screen the whigets apear.
i've use Wolfs TW Gingerbread rom and i never had this problem, but i want to go back to stock.
Help me, its this normal ?
You can use Pc companion to re-install a stoxl rom, than re-root it. Or reinstall the rom

Stock gingerbread rom is very laggy and slow. I think there is such a thing like fpsuncap or sth.like that, that makes the rom faster. I never used that, bwcause every custom ROM has that. Search for it in the dev forum.

Few days back Sony announced ICS upgrade for my Sony Ericsson wt19i Live with Walkman but it seems that ICS is too much performance consuming and too heavy for wt19i's 512mb RAM and GHz processor.
I currently have a rooted Gingerbread 2.3.4 (and yes with a lot of personal customization) STOCK ROM which I like very much.
Now as you can see in this post by Sony Blog they did not officially released ICS for wt19i Live yet. But I want to try ICS right now. I have found a ICS ROM which can be flashed via FLASH TOOL and can be installed without unlocking bootloader.
Now my questions are:
Is it safe to upgrade this release?
Can I revert back to my old ROM after upgrading?
I have a Nandroid Backup of my whole system, can I simply use restore my Gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM after upgrading to ICS?
If your answer is no, can you help me how to downgrade back to 2.3.4 after upgrading to ICS?
Any help, link, rom, procedure will be of great help
I am a noob, so please try to be descriptive.
Thank You
U can just go in 2 download mode if anything goes wrong or u dont like it (turn off phone hold down volume am plug usb u shud kno dis) no special procedure shud be needed although i haven't heard of that Rom yet

If you want to restore remember to be on the same kernel you backed up on, and check if the baseband is supported on the rom.
So, a month ago i bought my xperia sola... I have already rooted it, unlocked it' s bootloader, and now, i am thinking about flashing a new rom, or just mess around with the one i already have(gingerbread 2.3.7)
My questions are:
1)Which kernel should i flash? I have the stock one which beggins with 6.0.3
2)If i should flash a new rom, which one should i flash(recommend the one you think is the best, no matter what)
3. If i flash a new rom my phone gets wiped doesn't it? What can i do to restore my apps after that?
Finally, can someone tell me how do I put clockworkmod recovery in this phone?
Thanks for taking some of your time to answer my questions

Hello
There are no better or worse kernels. It's always up to your needs and what you prefer. Some kernels support different stuff like Overclocking or other Governors for example but it's not like you can use good or bad kernels. Like i said, up to your needs.
The same goes for ROMS most of the time, but as you research you will find that some of them are optimized for things like Speed or Multitasking or battery stats for example. The list can go on.
For CWM:
This i think is for Gingerbread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901134
and this for ICS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020893
Ok, i have decided to upgrade to ics... And then make a nanroid backup... But, how can i save my apps from being deleted during the upgrade? Maybe via titanium backup?
Also, how much size is nandroid backup gonna take?(my apps are about 1 GB...

One last question:How do ypu update the phone if ypu have deleted the phone's update center, and pc companion saying that it has to update its self but when you try to, you get an error and it force closes?

I do not know about nandroid. Titanium backup yes, would be my way of backing up the apps.
About your second question, search in XDA a custom or stock ROM that is in .ftf file so you can use Flashtool to flash it.
Ok, thanks a lot for answering my questions

One thing is flashing ftf file via Flashtool, the other is to try SUS instead of PCC.
Hey guys...i have an Xperia Mini Pro SK17i that from the day that it received Android ICS 4.0.4 its become nearly unusable cause its being really annoyingly slow. It takes at least 10 seconds for an App to launch and web pages take a long time to load, it takes ages to boot and even scrolling between homescreens is a pain in the ass.
With what i read so far, since i cant upgrade to Jelly bean cause Sony hasnt given that update to that phone, i figured out my only solution to the problem is to either go back to Gingerbread or root and flash a Jelly bean rom that performs well in my phone. Problem is as i kept reading..and saw with how many ways its possible to root and flash roms, kernels, fastboot and all those words that i have no idea what the mean..i got even more confused on which way is the most safe so i wont brick my phone and destroy it and which is the most simple way to do it.
Sorry for being a clueless android user, i had an iPhone for so many years and i recently got an Android so i need some time to learn how to be able to mod and fix it.
So the question is...how do i root this specific device and flash a custom rom? The more details the better....
Currently it has stock android ICS 4.0.4...
Thanks in advance.
If you don't want to root it, its fine
You can still downgrade to gb
Download flashtool (google)
Download your device's gb FTF rom file.
Flash it via flashtool
Now these steps are elaborated in general section stickies tool-guides-etc etc thread by someguy in hell.
If you want to root it followw mihanns rooting guide in general stickies and also his guide on installing custom rom
Regards
N
Root with the post in general, install Xparts and install recovery with xparts. Then if you will install a GB rom, flash before the ftf file of GB stock, the same with ics, if you will install a ICS rom, flash before the ftf file of ICS stock.Using flashtool
If you have Unlocked bootloader, you have to flash a kernel that you want and then the rom.

Whats your opinion guys? Should i go Jellybean, back to GB or stay to ICS?

Definitely Jellybean.
Rooting is not enough to install JellyBean You will also have to unlock bootloader
And ICS - I think You have updated it without wiping data. The difference between GB and ICS is huge, so the official updating method through PC Companion will end like this - very poor performance. IMO clean install for ICS is needed. Of course it will work slower than with GB, but it wasn't a big difference (IMO).
Now I'm using JB and it's still not bugless. But it can be used for daily use for sure Now, when nAa and other devs are working on 3.0.8 kernel - it will bring a second life to 2011 Xperia line phones
My opinion is to root your device and after root u have to install titanium backup app cause once u will open it after root it will fix something in permissions I think.. Install CWM through X-Parts app "you can get it from play store".. Boot into recovery.. Wipe data, dalvic cache and reset settings "Make sure u backup what u want before doing this through titanium backup or other backup app".. Then install Root Uninstaller to uninstall bloatware apps and stick with stock ICS or a custom ICS ROM if u r looking for bugless ROM as JB ROMs will not be lighter than ICS on our xperia mini pro and they r not bugless.. So dun go through any of them right now, maybe later after nAa finish this 3.0.8 kernel.. If u need any further support just PM me or feed me back here.. Few things after the above and ur device will be very efficient )
Good Luck
