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!

Download the X10i global from here.
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??

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???

Hello!
I got problem with my Xperia X10i, I don´t know what to do.
Just some few hours ago i installed:
[ROM] [29-07] TripNMiUI "Iris" 1.8.3 Froyo!
h t t p ://android.modaco.com/topic/342875-rom-29-07-tripnmiui-iris-183-froyo-heading-for-20/
And it worked perfect, But then after that i installed Free Kernel 3.63 with Xrecovery like the ROM with misstake..
Free Kernel 3.63
And now my phone wont work, It starts and works to the "lockscreen" but then after that a error message pops up and stands that the system process doesnt answer after i unlock and after that it restarts. And Xrecovery wont start after the "Sony Ericsson" text.
I dont know what to do, If my phone is broke or if this can be fixed!
But please can someone help me!? I would be Grateful forever! and sorry for my bad english!!!
- Have a great day!
Here is how you get back to 2.1
Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Download the flash tool and the firmware you want and flash back to 2.1 and reinstall trip's miui rom.
Did you download the correct kernel for the rom you were using? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112745 has 2 froyo kernels. One for froyo and one for Miui.
Good luck my friend
1. Try flashing a normal kernel via Flashtool, seeing if this is corrected
2. Reinstall xrecovery before FC ? via Flashtool
3. Reinstall via SEUS ?
How can install something when i cant get into Xrecovery or connect my phone to the computer? .. My phone only can charge. Or is it only me doing something wrong? .. Im pressing the back button when the "Sony Ericsson" Text is shown. I dont know what to do

Again, go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Download the flashtool:http://www.multiupload.com/GYL7A7XQBT
and the 2.1 firmware:http://www.mediafire.com/?sqv6274anzfzn2x
Install the flashtool, put the firmware in the firmware folder and then follow the instructions in the thread.
This will wipe all your data and revert your phone back to 2.1. The flashtool can root and install xRecovery allowing you to install The miui rom again getting you back to where you were before you flashed the kernel.
Oh ok. ill try this! Thanks for the help. Sorry for understand directly.
Don't worry I just hope your phone gets up and running again soon!
Excuse me if this is explained anywhere and I'm just to dumb to find it, Forum Search didn't get me the answer:
I come from the Galaxy S and wanted to install a more featered ROM to my gilrfriends mini pro since I bought it to her and she saw me doing rom stuff on my phone, but only in the last time I read of fully working ROMS (last thing was the cam) because I didn't want her to bother (me) with stuff not working
Now I wanted to install SonyBread, but I'M stuck at installing CWM... I used the apk installer, and the flash tool, but nothing works, CWM nor xrecovery is booting when I hit the back key at SE logo. When I'm searching for the chargemon file, there seems to be the right one there (code says so) and recovery.tar is present. Phone is definetly rooted!
What am I doing wrong? Is it just I'm too into the Galaxy S and just can't see the obvious? And why can't I find a clean install guide for CWM to 2.1.1.C.0.0? Most ROMS say they are for this firmware and have to be installed through CWM, so there MUST be a way..
I hope this is not a to dumb question (but I really didn't find any help through search) and someone can help me, thanks in advance
first Xrecovery via AAIS (search XDA) then install cwm via xrecovery. It's really simple, trust me
use flashtool 0.2.9.1 beta to root and install busybox & xrecovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10738287
then flash cwm:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105745
I've tried both, nothing works. I get xRecovery, but as soon as I flash CWM, I cant get into it...
I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105745. I press the back button repeadetly, but nothing happens for CWM...
I also tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106146 as it looks like its specificly for mini pro, but it needs CWM to install... how am I supposed to install CWM only through CWM?? This makes no sense to me I even tried the manual copy method from this side, but it seems that CWM doesent recognize the back key pressed...
I dont know whats the problem, maybe I try to recover through SEUS and start everything over on a fresh firmware, maybe some testing messed something up.
I cant find any information, if I have to do anything else for 2.1.1.C.0.0 firmware, maybe I have to edit something for chargemon?

are you sure you successfully copied those files to the right folders, and changed their permissions correctly? i suggest you to try again slowly, step by step with extreme attention
2.1.1.Clean.0.0 now has CwM pre-installed.

Jep I'm very sure about the files and permissions, even double checked them with root explorer and file expert...
Anyway, I found THIS and -for whatever reason- it installed CWM correctly, and I was able to get around everything. Up and running SonyBread
Thanks for your help, and maybe the next time its necessary, I'll try this 2.1.1.Clean.0.0 firmware. Sounds like Darky's Resurrection Edition for my Galaxy S, and this ALWAYS worked
nice to hear you solved it, congrats
Hi
I want to flash my X10i with a custom ROM, but I'm a big time noob. I have been digging these forums for the past 2 hours as to what to flash and how. Decided to flash Wolf's TW Gingerbread 2.3.3 v 4.0.4. But I'm not sure how to go about this.
My phone stats:
model number x10I
firmware version 2.1
baseband version 2.1.54
kernel version 2.6.29
build number 2.1.A.0.435
I haven't done ANYTHING with my phone yet. It is not locked with any carrier, or whatever you call it. I bought the phone. Please let me know how to go about this. I have downloaded the below from wolf's post.
Wolf_GB_2.3_TW_V4.zip for Baseband 71 (The ROM itself!)
FTF bundle (2.3.3 kernel and baseband .71)
Much appreciated!
..JusT Try 2 Help..
You better UpDate your 2.1 X10i with PC Companion/SEUS to GB 2.3 first DuDe..
After that download a Flash Tool and follow TuT carefully from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196808
Try it and let me know if you've any problem..
If your phone is 2.1, you can easily root it so you can install xrecovery 0.3.
Search the Flashtool tutorial; root and install xrec and then you just have to install Wolf's package trough xrec

How did you installed xrecovery ?
Did you used the recovery .apk installer?
Follow this process...

Please report back if this fixed your issue...
Also, FYI... in order to flash 2.3 you need to even flash the 2.3 baseband and kernel... Just follow the dev's instruction (better use wolf ROM)...

Open flash tool in ur comp.
Just connect phone (not in flash mode, just the normal mode).
Flash tool will detect your x10.
Just hit the button "install recovery".
this will install/repair ur xrecovery.

My personal experience:
Had WB 3.5
When 4.04s came out, did update to 4 and then to 4.04.
But had issues with Titanium Backup etc., etc. Kind of not so fast ROM it was.
Did backup everything, formatted sdcard etc.
Flashed 2.1 Generic
Upgraded with SEUS to 2.3.3
Rooted
Then did 4.0 and 4.04 updates
Did reinstall from market needed software, not restore with Titanium Backup (except some, unrelated to system).
NOW it runs superfast and supersmooth! I figure - thats how it was supposed to run. No ANY issues at all.
P.S. My battery holds 3 full days with normal usage.
does anyone have issues with lag when using live wallpapers
