If anyone wants it, here is the ORIGINAL ROM for the AT&T Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 .. Original meaning, Android 1.6.
X10a_ATT_US_ATT_1237_3761.rar / 132.92MB
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=75B84QCX
I have used this many times with NO issues in regards to reverting my X10a back to factory default .. the program I use to do this is Omnius for SE v0.15. If you want this software, link below.

Anyways this post is not relevant to Development...
I find this relevant to the fact that anyone wants to flash there phone back to factory in case they want to return there phones because of broken promises from AT&T in regards to getting updates for the X10a to even 2.1, it sucks.
On top if that, even flashing anything from here is NOT guaranteed to work 100%.
So, is it relevant to post this in the DEVELOPER section for any X10 .. YES it is.

You're welcome .. believe me, I'm about to do the same thing .. although mine was a free-bee from Best Buy that I received 1 week ago .. don't like the fact that after getting this and finding out from AT&T that they have had an update for this phone since August 2010, that it still HAS NOT been released to its customers because of testing purposes to get it working perfectly .. come on, 6 months already .. and its even an OLD version of Android !!!!
I've tried MANY ROM's from here on this X10a (that gives you an idea as to how much I have learned on here in 1 week) .. and I'm definately not happy. This is my first Android phone (thinking I'd try it out since people rant and rave as to how much better it is than and iPhone) .. truthfully .. I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2.1 that is jailbroken .. never had any problems with my iPhone .. and I'm sticking with it.
Maybe once Google or even ALL the manufacturers and cell providers have got it together in regards to bring out a Android phone that is at least workable, upgradable (without stories or lies) .. I may go ahead and get another Android.

Isn't this listed here? Also, using Omnius is NOT free. You will have to buy credits to flash.

Right .. YES, this has ALREADY been posted .. I also tried that hacked up version from the original posting .. it is NOT the OFFICIAL firmware release from AT&T for the X10a, and is definately missing something and buggy.
I have friends at AT&T .. the one I posted is the OFFICIAL release from AT&T for the X10a and was obtained right from AT&T .. and if you decide to check it out .. you will see that the file is LARGER in size than that buggy one that "oalf170892" posted.
Official Firmware I released : 132.92MB
Buggy Firmware released by oalf170892 : 118.76MB
Someone want to tell me why there is a 14.16MB difference in the size ??? hence why I had problems with oalf170892's release, its definately missing something in the files.
If the Mod's decide to remove this thread .. that would be there decision, but at the same time .. it would be nice for the Mod to tell me or someone, for what reason they have to remove it.
Dang I had my x10 for 9 months now from att. Should of returned it when I had the chance

This thread has bee closed due to a stock roms thread already being in existence.
Guys, my cousin has very good phone. He knows nothing about rooting, etc. So I rooted his phone yesterday, and it's OC'd at 2.2 MHZ! His phone is very unpopular, only 5 ROMS available for it. The name of it is LG Esteem, from Metro PCS. it has a sister phone on Verizon, called the LG Revolution. Okay, on to my question.. Is it safe to flash roms made for the LG Revolution to his phone, the LG Esteem? :/ Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but there's no forums for his phone.
probably not, phones are differently named for a reason (might stuff up his radio even if its the same phone but different carrier). anyways, this thread belongs to general, at the top of the list of forums.
I don't think so mate,i think they have to be ported.
U better teach ur cousin few things about rooted phones since u rooted his ... Hihi
Btw u should ask in Lg Revolution forum, they more likely know more about ur question.
Hi everyone!
Anyway, my name's Wolf (that's what people call me) but my username is Bad-Wolf, obviously.
So, I got this phone for my 13th birthday. Best present ever. Never gotten anything like it. I used to have a HTC Wildfire S, but unfortunately, it got stolen. Link in the description. So I was left without a phone for a few months, depressed, and angry. And I was inactive on XDA for all those months. It felt like I lost my place here. I was quite known in the WFS forum, and I even developed a simple ROM, but I'm not going to name it because if I want to make a ROM here then I want to use the name again. I was also (trying) to make a simple kernel, but then it got stolen so there was no point. I'm quite a noob by the way.
So, I'm going to be here for quite a while, looking at threads and learning. Which is going to be really difficult because there's like a million threads. So if there's anything you think I should see, please tell me.
I applied to be a mod quite some time back, but I didn't get accepted. But I was informed that I would've got the job, because my application was awesome, but they're keeping me for reserve, and I might get picked if they need mods soon.
Also, let's talk about my (social group) TDOT. Which stands for "The Devs of Tomorrow". This was a group that I made a few months ago, and now is growing, and has 50+ members. It's for kids like me who like developing, or want to get into it. I'm currently making the website, and we're still working. But it's a great group, with great people.
I suppose the only work I've done with Galaxy phones is I quickly rooted and unrooted my Mum's Samsung Galaxy S, and I nervously put stock ICS on my Dad's Galaxy S2, using Odin. I was really scared, because I had never used Odin, I didn't want to brick it, and it was my first flash on that phone (after like 100 on the WFS, lol).
I've heard about all the Apple v Samsung v HTC drama. Apple has had a truce with HTC apparently. And I've heard of Samsung jigs, read a bit about them. They do something like force the phone into download mode or something, very useful for resetting the flash counter, and other stuff like that. Also, they can get you out of bricks, if you got a bad situation, maybe even a USB brick (not sure about it).
I want to learn as much as possible.
That's all I can remember to say for now (I'm forgetful). Anyway, I hope I can make good friends here, like I did on the WFS section, and maybe get into the small developing scene.
Sorry if this thread isn't in the right place. Sowwy. So I made up for it by writing all this!

Hello, aleays nice to see new young devs, I hope you feel at home with us
To root you will want to flash cf root in odin to do this dowbload the package, extract the zip once (it includes odin).
Put the phone in download mode, open odin and end all kies processes, connect the usb and odin should say added. Click the pda button and add the .tar file that was in the zip, make sure repartition is NOT checked and click start when it reboots you will be rooted.
To reset the binary counter use the triangle away app either on play store or free on xda.
I'll add links when I'm on my laptop until then search and thou shall receive

Thanks guys. you lot are nice. I thought I'd get spammed saying things like "So what if you brick it" or "Look it up yourself". Anyway, I'll do some more reading. Then I'll get my game face on.

You can join TDOT if you are under 16 years old. That's pretty much the only requirement.
