Hi Before I only uploaded the system.img partition but ive done some basic converting of the rest, the FTF came as 3 files I only ever did one, due to easter and time constraints never got round to the rest so here it is:
It's my hope that with this we can finally start to build a custom Kernel to allow overclocking and other bits.
Have fun:
(link uploading now) http://www.multiupload.com/HLTFSS270P
This maybe what's needed to fix the HK one's this may need flashing (note this is just the .SIN package at the moment no other works been done ive had no chance yet)
custom kernel? does this enable overclocking?

not yet no, I need to speak to Bin4ry and find out how to rebuild the packages there is a special way of doing it for SE apparently I just haven't had the time to speak to him.
The above is pure stock.
but we now have a full dump available
Great! Thanks Waz! Hope a full ftf file can be built soon so i can revive my play....
is there a way for me to compile this together with the 3 files you posted last time to make a full ftf file using flashtools? or its not that simple? really wanna revive my play......

I really don't know at this stage as I don't know the process to convert it back.
I can make a system.img using a kitchen but cant seem to complete the package with kernel etc.
you could always try flashing the kernel again it's worth a shot?

when you extracted the files, this is what you get, see below.. I think you just rename File_2778811.tar to loader.sin because you can't actually extract that file. Are you unsuccessful in renameing and trying to load that way?

I know the loader is going to be around 100kb as the arc one is about that. im going to try and take the one out of the firmware Bin4ry used, im just not 100% convinced this is the correct loader.
Right ive recreated it, and now im flashing it with wipe data to check, if it all goes wrong it's back to the phone shop "oi mister phone dealer me phones gone funny"
Right flashed, was on "Sony Ericsson" for while a while now we are on the splash screen....Waiting....waiting...
and BOOM!!!! flashed and data wiped! boom yeah!
uploading now!
Wow Waz, that sounds like a big sacrifice you made! Lucky it turned out good. You're really risking it man. I aplaud your effort!
Lets hope it works for us play bricks................

FTR. I did some testing and md5 checking together with DooMLoRD, the loader.sin for Arc and Play are identical. 100%. However, boot.img differs.

well u can either have root or the r2ba020 firmware.
choice is urs.
if u want root stick to the instructios.
if u want r2b then follow jerpleas guide to flash r2b firmware on the x10.

thanks for the quick reply do we have any experts here on optimus flashing a easy guide would be nice what and which files go where when they are downloaded really confusing what to do with the decryprted files do we leave them in the zip format or do we have to unzip them we them end up with loads of files if they are unzipped.Hope someone can shed abit of light on optimus as i can see this is the easy and free way to get back home.

can do two ways.
one download the decrypted files. unzip it, use the flash tool provided by jerplea.
if u have the rom files as downloaded by seus then u can use seus to update or omnius.
in omnius the larger file goes in the first box and the smaller in the next.

Unzip the original zip file so there is 2 files - phone.zip and R1FB001.zip (or whatever its called). In Omnius for the "application" file choose the R1FB001 File and for the "customization" file choose phone. Zip. You really cant go wrong
Found the answer i was looking for above

seus does not work have already tried it blags on about firmware already up to date tried all the methods i am comming from root back to x10i latest firmware so seus is no good ominus is the way to go back if anyone wants to go back after they have rooted and dont like it.
I managed to restore back again. I just copied the .sin files in from a decrypted firmware into the step 1 folder then ran step 1.bat
Works like a charm
I can now repair in Sony Ericsson Updater again
How many . Sin files what about zip file that is named phone can u give details of files to replace
I was able to successfully unroot my x10a with omnius. And then I updated to the x10i firmware again Going to wait until full root is achieved and stable.

Well I used R2BA020 for flash tool version.
From the large file I copied across the system file which had a really long name so I renamed it to system.sin
From the smaller file I coppied;
amss_fs.sin
apps_log.sin
amss.sin
fota0.sin
fota1.sin
recovery.sin
dsp1.sin
boot.sin
cache.sin
Then I ran step 1.bat again and then I just repaired in Updater Tool.
Hope this helps.
thanks Findee! works for me.
Really sorry if I'm hijacking the thread.. I recently rooted and I don't really like root right now so... Figured it would be a waste to start a whole new thread again.
Just so I'm sure I'm doing it right.. I have the two O2 R2 firmware files I used to debrand my X10 with PC Companion.
Can I use these in Omnius? They don't seem to show up as "compatible file" types when browsing for them. However the ones that are in zip format are.
Which ones do I use? The ones from the debrand method or the "flash tool" files.
Use the decrypted zip ones in in optimus very simpley
thanks Findee!!!!
Keeping it quick, as i need to eat dinner,
I try to install JIT enabler v2

Now phone can access xRecovery, but cannot boot, it took one day.
Any Ideas?
ALso for extras, i am wanting to install Jereplea's cm 7.0.2 (2.3.3) ROM, but it is in .,rar format, so i cannot flash it via xrecovery. I'm not sure how to use flashtool, as it needs some .ftf file that i cannot find, and it will not allow me to flash.
Didn't you made a backup with xrec? Restore if you did. If not, install again 2.1 rom. You can find tft files in the first post of Flashtool thread.
About J's CM7, maybe the zip is in the rar file. Just extract it.

I backed up with titanium root,
Yeh, i'll try that
TY
Btw, how do you flash baseband 52?
Its needed for J's CM7 rom.
I can find firmware stuff, but i dont know exactly how to make a .ftf thing.
OK, titanium backup is not the same. It makes backup of apps, not the whole rom.
You can slash firm .504, it comes with bb 52.
Download the tft, put it in /firmware forlder of flashtool (on the computer). Then start fashtool, connect x10 and hit Flash button, choose the tft file and go on.

wow... this is wrong information/ some of it anyway.
first.... 435. comes with .54bb not 52. second. be more helpful and not give links he has to chase around....
flash tool is very easy to use once you have it installed... if you still have recovery dont flash a fresh install of a 2.1 your wasting time.
if revoery works. download the winrar program for the cwm file that you want to install. its like winzip slightly differnet. it will then give you the flashable zip you want. most likely it is named updat.zip. put that on your sd card.
if you need the .52bb yes it is included in the folder with the rom. it is in tft format already... drop that into the firmware folder where you have flashtool located. then simply click on flash.. it will show the .52 files there will be several.
if they are not there... click on the advanced tab and scroll to bottom where it says bundle creation click on it and find the tft file you inserted into the firmware folder and when it opens the window up. drag all files from left to right and name the open spots at the top right. when done flash.
after that... reboot into recovery locate your zipfile for cm7 and let it install. voila your done
My bad. .504 is with bb 52. Thanks for correction.
@SErooted Be more helpful???? Stfu! I gave the guide for flashtool for noobis and he has to learn and No, he doesnt have recovery, so he need to flash fresh 2.1. Read my friend, don't post unuseful comments!

there was no need to be rude...
also. i saw that you posted link for flashtool.... but if he had recovery which it seemed like he did state in first post. i thought i would make it a little easier on him if that was true.
relax bro.. be happy in life
BTW: your right... i did make comment about links. other than that. i feel my information might be of help to this person either way.
Hey guys, my eng is fine.
Regarding CM7,
it doesnt seem to have any signal or phoning abilities
no mac, or bluetooth address or anything.
:/
SOmetimes with random reboots.
EDIT:
I have all basic copies of roms and i have access to recovery, SO I AM NOT A NOOBIE THANKU!
I appreciated your correction about the firm. Thats alright. In his second post, he said that he got only a backup from TB, not from xrec. That's why I told him to flash new 2.1.
The way you are explaining the other things is even harder for me to understand what you are trying to say. (And beleave me I understand allot of Android and X10) So for him maybe will be harder to understand about all that zips and stuff.
Me not trying to be rude neither. Lets see if we helped the guy or we got him confused

OK, you've flashed CM7 over bb 52 right? The one provided by J in his package?
i suppose your right... there are some things i read that seem more difficult than they are and i also have read things that seem easy and are hard as hell.
Jinglejo... to you iwasnt trying to be rude when i commented on your english
G-face... wasnt trying to be rude to you either with same comment
Jinglejo, good to know that your not a noob. might be a little easier to help you out beings it looks like you know whats up with your x10...
if i was to break it down in steps 1234....
1. Recovery works.... thats good
2. unrar the cwm file that you downloaded.
the tft files for bb .52 are included
3. take that file and drop it into firmware
4. open flashtool and click on advanced.... scroll down to bundle creation...
locate the file... is should read x10_52_changebaseband
5.once selected. a new window wil pop up. the files will be in .sin format now....
highlight all and drag to the box on the right.... top three boxes have to be filled in..
6.select ok and wait for files to be ready.
7. when done. click on flash...select firmware .52... hit ok..... wait till you are prompted to connect in flash mod... then connect and wait.
8. when done, reboot and wait for signal to appear..
9. once you have signal, reboot into recovery.
10. clear dalvik-cache, battery stats.
11. install your cm7 from J.
12. let us now if any of this works for you.
Im not confused, its just it says the baseband is unknown
So do i flash in the baseband 52?
J only gave us this bunch of .sin files and
Rendeiro gave a broken link to baseband 52.ftf that does not download properly.
Can you find me a link for it or tell me how to bunch up these .sin files to form a .ftf file?

yes flash in the bb .52.
locate the .sin files from where you have them stored and go to advanced and do bundle creation.
i was being stupid when i said it was in tft format ( my apologies) they are in .sin
once you have done a bundle creation it turns it into a tft then when you choose the file from flashtool. it shows them again as .sin
flash this and you should be good to go with radio

im not sure if that rom coms with devtools installed or not...
however if it does... open it up go to bad behavior. and click on crash system server...
if not... you may have to go with G's option and start fresh with a new install..
in that case if you have to do that... right after flashing the 435 firmware... root it, install recovery, power down... flash bb 52 then install the rom.
after that it should work fine without problems

@Above: Yeh i only just noticed.
@Above's above (SErooted)
The 2.3 ROM reboots quite often when im fiddling with it.
It does come with dev tools.
fiddled with it, aeroplane mode prob is fixed
apparently, the rebooting is kernel related.
So I was trying to update my old energy ROM to ICS and I'm kind of hosed. Got instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362759
Basically:
- Root your device
- Install a custom recovery
- Install the downloaded ROM .zip found in post #3
- Make sure to do a Factory Reset / Wipe before installing ROM
For the record, these steps are out of order. Steps 4 and 3 are switched and I didn't notice till it was to late. What I did next was do the factory reset and then try to re-install the ROM. Everything seemed to go fine until it was time for a reboot. Then it froze on the HTC logo.
Could use some ideas as to what my next move should be. Since it was a previous version of Energy ROM + Faux kernel, phone is definitely rooted, etc. Perhaps I should start over with a stock Gingerbread ROM?

Apparently I am also supposed to flash the kernel as per this thread which I've finally found:

In order to find it, I had to search for it using Google as this forum software is so haphazard. Also not mentioned in the instructions. Will try this next if I can get at it through just the custom recovery.
Still wrong. Coming from GB and going to ICS you need to flash the ICS RUU in bootloader. I don't know how many times its been mentioned or how many other threads have been started because of this issue.

First im not resbonsible for anything that can happen to your phone this what i do if it didnt work im not resbonsible.
If you are rooted via HTCDev S-On Hboot 1.490018 and up you need to Run a command prompt and flash the boot.IMG that comes with the ROM (if not included extract the ROM and search for its in the .Zip file then move that file into a folder in the Root lf ur C Drive put your phone into fastboot mode (remove battery then put it back then press lock/on button and the volume up button at the same time) then connect it to your PC and run command prompt press on start and search for cmd then run it and type the following :
Cd c:\android (or whatever you named the folder)
After that type:
Fastboot flash boot boot.IMG
After its done unplug your phone from ur PC reboot it and it should work perfectly (it may stay at the HTC Logo for 10-20 minutes)

I don't want to put down energy rom, but it hasn't been updated since the original leak, and the instructions were never clarified - he simply never explained the PROPER way to switch from gingerbread to ICS. ARHD gives a better explanation, but I think post #2 in the everything ICS thread gives the best and links to everything you should need..
You have to be careful anytime you are switching to a totally new OS. All the devices I know, switching from 2.1 to 2.2, or 2.2 to 2.3.. or to 4.0+.. it is USUALLY not just a "flash over the old OS".. just something to keep in mind for any of your other or future devices..

Well as far as I know, it ain't like he is getting paid much so it would seem to be a miracle if any of this stuff gets updated. ;-) If I don't have this figured out by Tuesday, I'll use it as an excuse to get a new phone. This one has a crack or two in the screen anyways.
Still, even so I would MUCH rather get this one working again. 'specially since I'm between software gigs & cash is tight. If Energy ROM hasn't been updated and there's a better and/or more complete set of instructions maybe I should be looking at something else. Will continue hunting through these forums for info but can use all the help I can get since this forum software ain't exactly friendly. Probably best to see if I can get it back to stock on ICS and then work forward from there. Having said that, I have an RUU that I am working with, its: PH85IMG_RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_Radio_1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_259626_signed.zip
Tried just flashing it but apparently there's more to it than that.
Latest problem is that I can't get it re-locked without enabling USB debugging. Can't do this since I don't have a working OS. Can it be done from CLI or recovery?
Uh.... hmmm... mysterious. Seems to have fixed itself. Will try a restart and see what happens.

I was saying that there are some other options, other roms, that have better instructions and have been updated fairly well.. that is all.
The thread I was talking about by glacierguy is here - it links to tons of resources and should answer most questions you may come up with. For example it has "Relock phone (fastboot oem lock)" you can issue fastboot commands while your phone is booted into the bootloader - so this has nothing to do with usb debugging..
There is tons of information here, I know it isn't absolutely organized, but there are a lot of guys here who tried to make the information as easy to find as possible..
Did u try to restart it again it usually takes a couple of times but anyway should either return to stock or use the RUU for the ICS ROM

If you're.gonna flash that last file you mentioned, you need to rename it to PH85IMG, since its a stock ruu and not just a flashable Rom.

Woohoo! I've succeeded in getting the aforementioned RUU installed. Should be much less of a problem from here forward.

Of course you are responsible. Heaven forbid anyone should take responsibility for their own actions or anything crazy like that.
Since English may not be your first language, I'll be clear. I'm just kidding.

Now that I have the RUU, could use some examples of projects that are more up-to-date so that I can move forward.

If you want cutting edge(these both have features no other rom has added yet, and are very current update wise) and like the senseui, try remix's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673609 or if you want with less sense and more of an aosp-ish feel go for his http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623184
ARHD is what is being used for the base for many roms because it is solid and bugless, energy has more features that he had included in his gingerbread rom.. I've heard good things about capromce, but I have no idea what features he has added that are or aren't included in the others..
Heheheh and its not my first language thats why you might see a lot of grammar and/or writen mistakes, just for the futur before you flash any new ROM Back-Up you current or the original ROM just in case something like this happen so you can restsore it without worrying and hope i helped

Hi
I'm looking at editing the 3 uk Ics ftf file. I'm a complete noob but would love to give it a go!
My aim is to remove all bloatware and ugly boot screen and replace with something a bit nicer... Could anyone point me in the right direction for finding the information?
Do you understand you won't be able to flash it with a locked bootloader?

Even if he has a locked bootloader he can use the new exploit to obtain root without unlocked bootloader. It works! And i have customized my bootanimation and removed bloatware etc.
The only thing you can't do yet is to install custom ROM's.
Here is the tutorial:

Hi
Yeah i have unlocked, rooted & installed CMW on my phone, I just don't know where to start with editing ftf files....
I have the 3 uk ics rom installed & removed all of the bloatware also changed the battery icon. I am just looking for a decent boot logo, but once i have completed the editing on my phone is it possible to create a ftf file or do i need to edit the original file? thx
You can just create a new ftf using flashtool, but I still can't figure out why you need it when you have CWM backups.

Sorry like i said before i'm a bit of a noob!. I will need to read a bit more about CMW backups. I need to understand what format, where they are store can they be backed up on pc.....????
I just thought if i created a ftf file if i ever needed to recover, It's a few clicks of a button & done, Also could share if anyone else wanted bloatware free uk ics!
Thx

Just do a backup in recovery. It'll be in the clockworkmod folder on your sdcard. You can copy it to your PC just in case. When you need to restore, just put it back and restore in recovery. You'll even get all your apps and data back.

Will it not work out of the box since it is the same hardware of the c6802?

No, this is only for devs so they can use it in their own ROMs, or if they want to use this on its own. It is not possible to flash this as it is right now, so you'll have to wait

It's the system folder. So you'd need to create a series of instructions on where everything goes, permissions, root, and recovery reflashed... (i.e. flashable zip)
48 hours and I bet someone will have it working. I'm not able to at the moment. I think most of you know why..
Would it work to flash the system.img thru fastboot? (And boot.img if necessary)
On the Galaxy S4, we flashed the GE rom, but had to use a touchwiz kernel. Not sure how it would work on the Ultra..

Inside a system.img will usually be 3 different compressed files. (depending on the phone)
Only one of these files will contain all the folders that we are usually familiar with:
app
bin
etc
fonts
lib
media
...
Its best to wait and see what Sony have done with the GPe devices. Probably nothing has changed, and partition info will be the same... but there could be a couple of changes that may brick your device. It's very unlikely, however I'd recommend not flashing the system.img without know exactly whats in there.

If no one tries anything nothing will be gained
Now then. I got the GPe to boot on my Xperia. Too see what works and what not
edit: Well its buggy... and i think it has to do with me using krabappel's 4.4 kernel. Not sure how much i dare goof around with this Playing away...

I don't mean not to try and make a ROM based on this system image, but the files need to be extracted and then a ROM created...
EDIT: Try a normal kernel. (sony) Its not CM based.

well i got inside the system.img and there is the /system and i pushed it on to my device.
Trying a stock kernel but i highly doubt that will boot it at all
Edit: Stock Sony never gets past bootloader. no boot animation.
Getting a ZU. Will look into it
24hrs someone will get it running smoothe and make a full guide for all how to flash well done devs.

Didn't work thru fastboot.
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: image is not a boot image)
finished. total time: 0.937s
Did it thru DD and it worked. Hello Google logo Will play a bit more.
dd if=/path/to/inputfil/boot.img of=/dev/block/blablablabla
fill in the placeholders yourself. Although i did not test yet if the dumped bootimage does work good. I just have no time since i have to finish my thesis now. But if you could do the dirty work would be cool
If something goes wrong just restore the boot with Flashtool in flashmode.

Incredibly frustrating this is.
I get the bootloader to start. I get the system to boot but it crashes. but its because i cant enter a reovery to delete user data. its always there.
How the hell can i delete data partition from fastboot or flashmode? as the stock gpe bootloader doesnt have a recovery.
EDIT: Ok i figured it out. Had to play with different kernels and thank god twrp has a terminal it doesnt boot im afraid.
I tried with
GPE kernel + gpe System = Bootloader load . Starts boot animation for 1 sec then crash.
revolution kernel + gpe system = bootloader load. Starts Boot animation 1 sec then crash.
Omnirom + gpe system + revolution kernel (dirty flash no wipes) = Bootloader loads. starts bootanimation. Boots. No mobile connection or wifi or anything. and buggy as hell
Now i need to play with the kids so l8ers.

Might just be a shot in the dark, but maybe you could install cwm or twrp by itself? Maybe from a different gpe device? If it is separated I.E. Not like sony's version it stands to reason you may be able to flash a recovery.
Or maybe flash a boot.img that has a recovery and boot it straight to recovery, factory reset, wipe caches, power off, and flash the correct boot.img after that?

well ive done that. the problem is that the gpe boot.img doesnt flash normal but must be pushed with a dd command.
Anyways. Just got a tip that it might need the userdata.img. so thats my next step. *sigh* thats the last thing i do now. Getting tired of this ;D
