[Q] 2.3 update and third party flashing - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have any ideas if SEUS will detect the third party flash and still update to SE's Gingerbread? Just wondering to see if I have to return to deault before going to 2.3 or leave it as is.

As long as you have the correct CDA everything should be fine.

You just go onto flash mode on SEUS, doesn't matter if your on a custom Rom. I've tried it while on a custom rom and it worked for 2.1 so I see no reason why it shouldn't work for 2.3.

Thanks all!!!

or if you are worried, use flashtool to flash back to 2.1 stock then seus it

Is the CDA hardware or software?

noob question: what's the difference between using flashtools and SEUS, if you are installing a stock 2.1 rom with both?
I believe SEUS can only install your local firmware, but Flashtools lets you choose any firmware you want as long as you downloaded them, right? can't you just use Flashtools and nothing else?

theoretically, yes.
but I feel safer to use the seus instead, it's more like a noob thing since you don't have to compile files.

hope everyone works fine.
i want it now ^^

download original 2.1 from xda and try flashing it using flashtool which you can find in this forum. or connect your phone to your pc or mac and try repairing it through SEUS.

flash it with flash tool
enjoy..........
The reason you didn't had network signal may be that not all roms work with all basebands, so it could have been rom related. Have you also waited till the rom rebooted a few times?

Are you sure about this? Because I'm using a custom rom and kernel, is it safe?
Sent from my X10mini using XDA App
I doubt that either SEUS or PC Companion will detect the phone on a custom kernal, and I would also say the chance is high of bricking your phone if it did try and update.
Safest way would be reload back to stock kernal and perform a repair in PC Companion update which will load back stock rom. Not sure if you need to relock your bootloader for this to work..
REMEMBER DO NOT RE-LOCK BOOTLOADER ON CUSTOM KERNAL AS THIS WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!

Try follow this tut [TUT] un-brick for n00bs.
It takes you step by step (screen shots) all the way from where ever you are to stock ROM.
SEUE is the best way to flash 2.1 original firmware ...

Ewjet MIUI etc are ROMs not firmwares. If pc companion or seus don't work then search for flashtool and use this to install global generic firmware. This will put ur phone back to how it was when u first got it

What do You mean by "other models"?
In Flashtool you need specific *.ftf file for yor cell modell
for example file for X10 mini won't work on X10 mini pro
Remember to reinstall the original kernel also.
No Need for do any thing,just install SE Update Service and install original Os.

Are you on custom kernel?
sent from my u20i using xda premium
When SEUS says you already have the latest software, it will give you the option of reinstalling it anyway.
Basically, it's saying there's no update available. It is an Update Service after all. But it will always just let you reinstall the latest update.

Well, thats the problem. It sais that there no download available, even though i tried the "repair" option which should a simple reinstall.
is this maybe a kernel issue?
could anyone provide a (working) link to a stock firmware which can be flashed by flashtool?
i´m kinda new to flashing, so sorry for being a n00b.
cheers
Hy,
fixed it by flashing se uk stock firmware. finally found it somewhere.

[Q] How to get back to the original X10a firmware and Kernel?

Hi!
I flashed my X10a using Feralab rom and DomKernel V6 and everything is ok. However, I have to take my X10 to the repairing center because of an old problem in touchscreen. So, I'd like to know how to flash back my X10 with original Sony Ericsson rom and Sony Ericsson Kernel. Where can I find this rom and kernel?
Thanks!
Go look in flashtool thread you will find out ftf files... Download one for your region.... And flash through flashtool
Sent from my X10
Download the original 2.3 release from SE (or rather only S;-) ) install it through PC companion. It will wipe everything though. If you do a backup of your current rom, you can root your phone when you get it back and restore the backup.

Just use the repair mode in SEUS or PC companion
Ok. Thanks but, will it recovery the original kernel as well? Because I have a backup of the firmware (rom), provided by xRecovery, and when I recovered it, the DomKerel still there..

dont worry kernel will also be stock one
Thanks again, but I tried to use the SEUS and PC Companion. However, both are saying that I've already have the most recent software and I cannot do nothing more. I'm desperate.. I have to leave home and take my X10 tho the repairing center in 1h but I cannot recovery this.. The rom is already recovered, but the kernel no..
What can I do?
Thank you a lot!
try restore mode in it.
If not then there are generic 2.3.3 or 2.1 files in thread flash them through flashtool
kernel are included in them
sorry the only working link I found was for x10i ....

Yeah. Flash this ROM via flashtool and after that You will be able to use SEUS, because it's android 2.1
Thanks for everybody! I downloaded a generic firmware and flashed this using Flashtool. Now, both kernel and rom are in the original SE.
Thank you a lot!
glad to hear
