I know people are going to say i have to search before asking, but i cannot find a question regarding this problem that has an definitive answer!!
I have been on this forum for a while and have never posted due to not having any problems that didn't have an answer available, but recently i dropped my X10i and the screen broke :-( so i got a replacement phone from SE, i have flashed and rooted an installed xrecovery but when i restore my previous tripnmiui backup
I will detail my process
I received the phone with 1.6
I installed seus and updated to 2.1 (BB 46)
I then ran the x10flash tool to flash to BB52
I then rooted the phone an asked for root permissions to install xrecovery
I then booted into xrecovery
Full wipe, partition cache, dalvik cache, battery stats etc...
I then restored my previous back up
This has now booted up fine but i have no radio and it says unknown radio!
i have tried to crash the system and have tried the BB patches with no luck :-(
Does anybody know what else i can do ?
Reinstall the ROM and then use the 'Advanced Restore' option in XRec to restore the data from your previous backup. Make sure you reboot after the install and get radio working before restoring the old data. Hopefully that gets everything working for you.

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!
I have now resolved this issue but thank you for replying
What i had overlooked is that what i was doing was installing the old rom on BB52
but the original rom had been installed on bb54 with the bb54 patch
so i reflashed my phone to bb54 and restored the rom and this had resolved the issue,
so for future reference people!
when restoring a rom to a phone make sure it is on the original baseband that it was on when you took the backup!!

Hi all...
I just got my first Android phone... is an X10i...
I have version 2.1-update1 on it, and i tried 2 custom roms (2.2) with the install from SDcard.
After installing first rom (Froyo_2.2.1_xperia_TripNRaVeR-v1.0.zip) the result you can see it here: 220.ro/documentare/MOV01113/AVtgAccdjh/
After this, i instaled the 2nd rom (FreeX10-beta4.zip + gapps_FreeX10.zip); the result was: it work perfectly but after 30 seconds it was rebooting. it never stops.. the phone start again, and after 30 seconds , again reboot... and so on.
I must mention that the phone is SIM locked, and to work in my network i must unlock it... can this be a problem? if not can any one help me to fix this?
Or can anyone tell me where to find a custom rom that can be flashed with x10flasher? because when i install the rom from SDcard, is loading normally untill 50%, but when it reach 50%, he instantly go to 100%
Some info about my phone:
model: x10i
firmware: 2.1-update1
baseband: 2.1.54
kernel: 2.6.29
Can anyone tell me what is the problem and advice me what to do?
Thanks in advance.

For now you can only flash stock 2.1 roms using the flashtool, everything else you have to use xrecovery.
As far as your phone being sim locked, I really don't think that's related to any of the issues you've mentioned.
Here's what I suggest:
- use the flashtool to flash it back to stock 2.1
- root
- install xrecovery
- try Wolfbreak's custom 2.2 rom from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945264
the instructions on the first post are kinda confusing but let me know if you have any other questions. Make sure to use the thanks button if any of this helps.
To install custom ROMs, your phone needs to be rooted and then install the ROMs via xrecovery.
Also for Trip's Froyo or Gingerbread ROM, it is preferable to on bb49..

@Lockon Stratos
this rom is working good, is only rom that installs properly and work without reboot, but SDcard is not working, and when i applyed the hotfix, it enter into a reboot loop
@regencyhood
i tried MIUI... same problem... reboot loop
***********************************
i tried again all roms that i have downloaded until now from here, but unsuccessfully
I do not understand why, but ROMs are not installed correctly (i have root and xrecovery installed, i made factory restore, wipe cache, format cache, wipe dalvik cache).
so i think i will stay on 2.1
I was very enthusiastic when i got it, but i see that is not such a great phone with no official update for 2.2, and is low on internal memory (only 465MB data memory and 280MB RAM).

Reason for Reboot on MIUI is because you are on baseband 54 (i.e 2.1.54)....
Recommended baseband is 49, either you flash and change your bb or you can apply a patch... all the necessary help regarding bb is given in the link in my above post...
hope i was helpful
So which one do you want to use trip's froyo or Z's froyo? I hate to say this but I have a feeling it's something you're doing in between installs that could be causing the problem. I say pick one that you want to use/test, flash back to stock 2.1 using je flashtool, root, install xrecovery then flash just one of the custom froyo roms using xrecovery.

Patch BB 54 or rollback BB 52

Yes, it will work.
Regarding the camera I am using "TripNMiUI FINAL 1.0.63" ROM, and the camera is working a-OK. (Pic and Vid included)
Zoom results in FC for me in the stock and MIUI camera app, because of which I use Vignette....

Hello -
I was wondering if someone could give me a hand for a second. I'm running an x10a, Firmware 2.-update1, Baseband 2.1.54, Build # 2.1.A.0.435, rooted, xrecovery, etc, etc
I carefully read all the instructions to many of the Roms out there, and checked to makes sure I am on the correct baseband, etc, now when I flash to any rom, it installs, boots, etc, but every single rom I have tried always gives me the error Phone Stopped Working Unexpectedly and keeps popping up every three seconds or so, it only stops when I enable air-plane mode.
I tried the Dev Tools > Crash System Server, etc, but it doesn't seem to solve the issue as many forum postings suggest..
would anyone have an idea how to solve this issue?
Did you make sure to do a full wipe and wipe cache, dalvik and battery stats before flashing the ROMs?

Maybe one. Thing can help you out is flashtool try flashing the stock Rogers rom whit flashtool and afterwards flash custom roms just to make sure if its not the phone that is faulty.

Yes I had done this each time. I also read in the posts that you are supposed to wipe the cache "after" the rom is installed, I tried all the methods and not having luck..
Also do I need to flash to a stock rogers rom? the phone originally is unlocked internationally...
Dont wipe cache after install. If you havent done anything with it yet you dont have anything cached. Reflash a ROM without wiping the cache afterwards and see what happens. If that doesnt work reflash the latest global generic FW, reroot, reinstall XRec and try another flash. There is no reason that you would need to flash a Rogers FW except if you were bringing the phone in on warranty.

Hello,
I was wondering if someone could help me out. I checked the forums although I cannot find an answer.
Been trying to switch roms and get this issue with every rom, that my phone won't find the baseband. So I crash the server and it works, but I get the error phone stopped working unexpectedly. So I found that this problem only occurs when my sd card is inserted. If I remove it the rom picks up signal.and no crashes.
So I tried a different card, same issue, I format the card, same issue, etc...
Is there any fix? any help would be much appreciated
Thank you.

Try a clean flash and install. Reflash the latest FW, root and install XRecovery. Then make sure you do a full wipe, wipe cache, dalvik and battery stats before installing the ROM. That usually gets rid of all those odd little bugs. You can also unmount your SD card without physically removing it but hopefully the clean install will clear up your troubles.

Ok, I got that before going straight to a Froyo custom rom, try a EWJET 2.1 custom ROM first and see if you still have that problem. I did that and didnt have problem moving up but I went back again to 2.1 for other reasons.

Thank you for responding. I gave that a shot, well i tried in two methods.. i downloaded for xrecovery a clean rooted, xrecovery installed of the stock rom.. then followed the steps and got the same issue.. so i thought to do a full factory wipe using sony's tool, went back to stock rom, rooted, xrecovery installed, etc.. flashed the rom, same issue.. i tried this with several roms and cannot seem to bypass this error.. it almost seems like its just me due to limited info in the forums...
i guess i'll keep trying, thank you for your help.

I gave this a try, downloaded the latest EWJET 2.1, everything worked fine on that rom, no crashes, etc.. so i tried flashing several roms thereafter, without success..
could it have anything to do with being on a locked bootloader?
Hi All, This is actually a hypothetical question at this point, bit of brief history..
Am basically a noob with my X10 mini Pro have been flashing some custom roms this year and just this morning made the leap to unlocked boot loader/zombiepanic kernel v1.63/GinTonic.SE 2.1 its all working perfectly and am very happy.
My question then is do I have to do a full factory reset slash wipe every time I do a ROM install? I have been doing this lately more because changed around from other ROMs, slade87 has been doing an excellent job of updating his ROM and kernel with functions and fixes. But I cannot see myself having the energy to reinstall all my apps and redo settings every time a new build is released.
So after long question will I be able to flash new build over current without loosing my apps and data? Know xrecovery always seemed to wipe my phone but when I changed to clockworkmod my first install was a direct upgrade and it worked fine without loosing anything!
If I cannot install without loosing my data is there an easier way to backup my apps and reload them, titanium backup just sat and prompted me to reinstall them all which is what I am already doing.
I apologize for the long nature of question but wanted to explain to avoid confusion.

Restore the titanium backup.. The option apk+data.. Ul get to ur normal application settings..but its better to restore only the apk's and not its data.. N about makin a factory reset after flashing.. Yes u need to do when u switch from one ROM to another.. Otherwise if u are just upgradin to higher version of the same, just make a cache wipe and dalvik wipe with CWM.. N u can backup ur (SMS)messages with my baackup pro in the market..
Gintonic.SE + zombie-pack kernel by slade ..
Awesome thanks for the response faiyyaz, understand the process now
Hi guys,
I wonder if someone can help me with this... really annoying problem!
I was checking out various roms i downloaded here, started with 4.0 aokp which was great, then gave cyanogen 4.2 a try, but then i wanted to go back to Aokp 4.0 cause it seemed to run faster
Now first thing, i couldnt get rid of cyanogen (no offense intended) cause when i wiped all data, cache and dalvik it just took aokp a few seconds to install from CWM recov, that doesnt seem right, right?
Then installed GAPPS, but still it ran on Cyanogen
So, i did a NANDROID backup, which made my phone like before i started with all this..
THIS IS WHERE IT WENT WRONG?
now it just wont read my simcard
i tried my sim in my old phone and that works fine, so the problem is in my phone somehow
is it something about the radio settings specific to my phone and network?
how can i change these settings and are they specific for my provider?
you guys always helped me out so i hope you know what i mean..

I've exactly the same problem.
Are your wifi and BT still OK ?
Is your IMEI (*#06#) still the same as under the battery ?
Was your phone locked ? Did you buy it with a SIM ?
My problem appeared after flashing several different modems/RILS : I got no error warning anywhere, but after reboot, I completely lost my netwerk connection. (no voice calls , no mobile data)
At first I thought a bad RIL driver, so I restored my Nandroid backup from the day before (after wipe cache/wipe dalvik/format system), but still no connection with the netwerk. and can't even make voice calls.
Then I was in panic !
After this I did a complete factory reset, and wiped/formatted cache/dalvik/system/data/SD-card and went in to download mode. After loading a stock ELLA for my region using Odin, still no connection. I was also never asked to enter the PIN-code for my SIM to unlock it.
Damned, this is an embarrassing situation : I can't think of loosing my SG3 for several weeks if I have to send it to Samsung !!
Mu phone is bought without SIM, so it's not SIM-locked.
My Wifi and BT are still OK, my IMEI is also still OK.
Any other ideas, please ?
How do I come in the service mode for the Radio ?
This is the way my netwerk is indicated : a circle with a stripe, much like the famous traffic sign.
Its fixed
So i have no idea how it eventually got fixed but if someone else has this problem, heres what i did:
Full wipe/factory reset blablabla all that
Did Nandroid restore again, put the AOKP ROM and GAPPS back on my phone
Installed ROM which was I9300CEDLI1
Used Odin to install latest CWM, which was already on there, but still
Then booted into CWM and installed .zip of course
This still went suspiciously fast since the very first time it took way longer, that worried me but,
Installed GAPPS again,
Rebooted... IT ASKED FOR MY PIN NUMBER!! hell yes that was what i wanted!
So now it again sees my simcard in there, so now i can make calls end use intnet again!
Still i think it started after the nandroid backup for some reason, or it may have been because of wiping Dalvik Cache?
I have no idea if that even makes sense

Good to hear your problem is fixed !
I'm still not able to make voice calls or enable mobile data : "insert SIM card" is the message I get.
I did already twice a full reset/factory restore and flash a stock ROM using PC Odin, but no avail.
Today I did a restore from my EFS folder using a backup that a had made before the problem appeared, but no avail.
BTW, did you also have the same indication from network status as on my screen-shot ?
Any idea what else I can try ?
I'm getting desperate .....
I'm having the same trouble after doing backup in TWRP when boot up it doesn't recognize the sim card.
I've flash CM10.1 and it only work after i remove the card e put it back on.
Try to see if it something about the simcard.
