It`s very easy, as you will see.
Just exactly follow the "how to" from the first post of the Rom Developer, or Mod...

You just have to download the .zip of the rom you want and install it with xrecovery that's very simple.
Check the how to in the post where you download the rom, it's always better

[Q] Trouble with updating to 2.2

Hi all
I have a rooted phone and am trying to find a decent tutorial/walkthrough on how to update to 2.2.
I have looked at the original thread:
Installation:
1. Flash the zip package via xRecovery
2. Flash the Google Apps via xRecovery
3. Reboot and leave the phone alone until GSM/radio icon shows up (1-2 automatic reboots)
4. Enjoy
And this means nothing to me. Is there a tutorial anywhere with very simple step by step, easy to understand instructions???? ie a tutorial that takes you through EVERY single step in detail.
cheers
Well the first step would be to install x recovery using flashtool (pc app).... then reboot phone and when u see the Sony Ericsson symbol keep pushing the back button the phone will boot into xrecovery. Go down to install custom zip and. Then follow those very simple instructions u just posted since it really doesn't get anymore simple.
And then push my thanks button. Ur done lol
Now if u really can't understand the steps u posted u probably have no business doing this as its really simple.

first, you would need xRecovery
go on youtube and search 'xRecovery' and the video made by Bluechip is a VERY detailed tutorial for installing it.
As for the roms itself, all you need is to follow the instructions you have posted.

I have a question about this. Say I updated my baseband to .54 but I did not update my firmware. Would I still be able to install the ROMs that require baseband .54, or do I need both the baseband update AND the firmware update? Thanks in advance!!
i would think the best bet would be to do the full update firmware. but not sure.

New to all this !

Just got a Sony Ericsson X10 and it has Android 1.6. I want to upgrade to the latest version of android and want to enable features like multi touch.. How do i upgrade my phone? I dont know anything about android and most of the posts here have just confused me
Hi - and welcome..
Go to the Sony Ericsson website and download and install SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) to your PC..
Fire that up and follow the onscreen instructions (carefully)..
That will get you upto the latest version of the firmware for your phone..
It may NOT be the latest available firmware though depending on whether your phone is customised by a specific carrier/ network?
If it doesn't upgrade you then look settings and about phone then tell us the country and customisation info in there..
Good luck..
If you're feeling brave you can root it too.. and do a load of other stuff.. (took me a while to build up the courage to get into all that side of it.. but was worth it in the end, cos phone performance can be improved dramatically)!

Greets alamode, congrats on your new X10, and welcome to xda.
First off, it's great to hear that you have at least tried to find a place to start with your Android, and I know it can be rather daunting, as well as time consuming.
- If you're only interested in official Sony Ericsson (SE) Firmwares then you can just simply connect your phone to your computer after having installed PC companion on it
and follow the instructions. This should give you the latest official rendition of Android for the X10 which is 2.1 and includes dual touch.
- If however you wish Custom Firmwares which go well beyond anything that Sony could ever offer than I would recommend after having updated through PC Companion
(above) the next step is to 'Root' your X10 which allows you greater access and control over your device and the ability to 'Flash' (install) the many custom Themes, Apps, and ofcourse Firmwares(ROM)s

This should get you started. Read, learn what you can, if you need help/have a question -------> Use the search feature built into this Forum OR even Google it!

Thanks for the quick reply guys !..
Well yeah i heard that rooting/flashing your phone opens up a whole new world for you so im definately interested in that. i've heard Sony ericsson wont upgrade X10 to latest versions of android? Can we still update them after rooting/flashing our device?
Anyways ill update my device first from Sony ericsson then.. After that i'll have to root my device? Since i dont know much about rooting/flashing can someone just guide me as to what that is and what it does? Whats the difference between rooting and flashing?
And thanks guys you lot are helpful !

Um No...
Trying to update but keep getting this : unable to install or start phone software update components
Try doing a repair first then try the upgrade..
For rooting.. go to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906248 download Superoneclick to your pc and run it from there..
Rooting will give you access to the system files so if you start rooting around in there deleting things then it can be dangerous - but you can always reflash/ repair using SEUS.
Rooting will also give you the opportunity to install custom ROMS which you'll find on the Dev sub-forum.
Would also recommend that you install JIT once rooted, as this gives a big performance boost. You'll find that on these x10 forums too.
Alright.. This is so frustrating. Been trying to root my phone all night but not really able to get anywhere.. Here's what i did..
First i finally upgraded to 2.1.. I used another PC and somehow it didnt give me the error i was getting earlier at the other PC. Not sure what was the problem there.
After upgrading to 2.1 i decided to root. First i used the SuperOneClick file to root my phone. After rooting, I installed BusyBox and then kept installing xRecovery but with no luck. xRecovery would just not install !!! I coped the apk file and ran the install from the phone, I got the icon but after getting the icon when it comes to the installing part it just freezes and after a while i get an error which gives me 2 options, Either to force close or to wait. I tried the other method too, the pushing method using X10ModTool and that didnt work either. After lots of tries and after getting extremely frustrated i uninstalled the apps and tried to start fresh.. I unrooted my phone using SuperOneClick and decided to root using z4root. I got the icon in the menu for z4root and i clicked on permanent root.. My phone restarts but i dont see the SuperUser icon anywhere.. If i try to install BusyBox it keeps on saying that its trying to get information..
So, So extremely frustrating !
Oh and i forgot to mention that after upgrading to 2.1, my Phone seems to have become slower while swishing between screens..
Which build number version do you have as the Superoneclick is for 2.1.A.0.435 and 2.0.2.A.0.24.
2.1.A.0.435
Im just not able to get root access ! Ive tried X10 Flash Tool, Ive tried SuperOneClick, Ive tried another software as well.. I just cant seem to get the root access..
I Installed Root checker and everytime after i root i check and it says that you do not have root access.. :S
help !

Install xRecovery and then you can even upgrade your phone to 2.2 there are some good ROMS available on this forum, you can check this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=617
Thanks. Yeah i have xrecovery installed as well.
What is basically a ROM? From my understanding its a customized firmware? If so, Which ones the best at the moment? I cannot compromise on functionality (as in i dont want that i cannot use bluetooth/camera/wifi or some other feature because of the rom). So basically i just want a stable rom in which i dont have any limitations. Also what is the advantage of using another rom anyway?
Thanks !
Okay.. ran a few of those optimizations and stuff and the phone is running a bit better. Can you guys tell me what is a good Benchmark score for Stock 2.1 on x10? im getting 33.4 MFLOPS right now.. is that alright?
I still am experiencing a little stutter in the menus, so i installed LauncherPro and that seems to have taken care of it.. I dont understand why cant i get the stutter to go away in the original home screen?
Lastly, Another problem ive been having.. My mobile is connected via USB but instead of it charging up, It is very very slowly losing charge. It went from 95% to 89% in around 45-60 minutes. Whats that all about?

For me the best 2.1 ROM so far is bluesparks, it is very fast and stable. Everything works in this ROM.
As for a 2.2 ROM, i just love wolfbreak's CM6.1.3 v4.3. Everything works except for the camcorder. For getting the camcorder to work you can download video illusion from the market. The quality wont be as good though. However this ROM is just too good. Too fast and stable with good animations.

Yeah, that is the 2.2 ROM I was talking about. Make sure you install the correct one depending on your baseband.
In order to keep everything, make a backup of your apps using titanium backup. You can then restore your apps after installing this ROM. Thats what I did.
Wolfbreak has given another way here:

Ah thanks, I might go for 2.1 cause of the camcoder.. Any chance of a fix for it coming in 2.2?

Flashtool rooting works almost for every user here. You sure that USB Debugging is checked?
.... And unknown sources is checked.
Flashtool is not that hard just read the directions and post any questions you have here...
I rooted my phone with the same specs as yours with it.
And- Most custom roms are pre-rooted with no bloatware and you don't need to be rooted to flash.

[Q] How to know if rooted

Hello!
I was wondering how to know if a Xperia X10 was rooted. And how would I boot to recovery menu if it is?
My girlfriends X10 was locked to Orange and she wanted it unlocked. After phoning Orange to do it they somehow managed to kill her phone! I took it to a phone repair/unlock place and they had it for a couple of days but said they couldn't get it working again. However when I tried it the phone worked fine and was successfully unlocked!
The phone was on gingerbread but is now eclair. Also the boot up sequence has different graphics I've not seen before. I'm assuming the guy in the shop has rooted the phone to install this different version of the OS on, but how can I be sure?!
Thanks for reading!
Cheers

Hi guy,
In your menu search for an app named "superuser",if you find it means your gf's device was rooted if not that means that device wasn't rooted.
For xrecovery menu,
Restart the device and when you see Sony Ericsson logo push the back bottom on your phone again and again,if it has xrecovery it goes to the menu..
Good luck.

Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately no superuser app and I can't get to recovery so doesn't seem to be rooted.
There's a few apps on there like "AT&T Maps" so it looks like the guy put an AT&T version of android on. How could he do that if it wasn't rooted?
I'll try to find a way to root it and stick cyanogen mod on...
att maps is probably a free app.....use the flashtool to root your phone...its literally the simplest thing.....download the 2.9.1. flashtool in the development thread and turn usb debugging on in your phone...and just click the root button through the flash tool...and it will root it for you...as for xrecovery its the same things...root and clock the recovery button..and its on .....pm me if you get confused
Hit thanks if I helped!

Thanks for your help everyone. I'll give the flashtool a go this evening if my girlfriend lets me!
She quite liked the standard SE gingerbread operating system. What would be the best custom ROM to install to give the most SE like experience whilst retaining useful root & superuser tools?
I'll try to convince her to try Cyanogen mod at some point but I think she'd like to stick with the familiar for now!
Are there any stable (or semi stable) ICS ROMs available yet?!
You can just root it and leave it at that.That way it's just the same but you can use extra stuff etc.

Well in my tutorial I start from scratch but ok. You would first need flash tools, 2.3.3 rom and patients.
Flashtools would take the 2.3.3 rom and push it to your device and remove your current 2.1. Its very! Easy to do so. When you get 2.3 gingerbread you would hate it right away because its stuck in time slow. Anyway you would then download and place donutHD which is the best stock 2.3 stable rom for x10(my opinion) place it in your SD card. The root your device and install xrecovery(all in my tutorial) and go into the recovery by switching off your phone, the when switching it on again press back a few times until you enter the recovery. Then do a factory reset and the install the rom. When done reset and the your good for good.
Doing these things will loose you all your data on your phone so download GO! backup(not pro) and backup your stuff and when your done redownload it and restore it.
PS.....this was just a rundown, follow carefully my tutorial.

ok, thank you for your patience. Last question, what 2.3.3 rom should I take for the first flash? Promised, after this I won't bother you anymore! It's just that she uses her phone mostly for professional use, so I really shouldn't brick it.

Its ok you could ask. Have you already installed gingerbread using flashtools? And don't worry you won't brick this phone easy at all.
And the donutHD rom in the developer section is a good rom for her because its stable and fast.

Sorry here download gingerbread 2.3 from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?vxa0kzi87idladf
After downloading flashtools and extracting it to your desktop place the file you downloaded in the frameware folder and when you start you would see "flash" using flashtools and then a window would come up showing two files: relock bootloader or something(my PC crashed so I cannot remember the name. But its not important) and a file named Arco and on the same line you would see 2.3.
And remember before turning off you phone to flash gingerbread you should back up your data since it is a business phone. Then go to settings, applications, and tick unknown sources then in development-USB debugging.
Then turn off the phone and after flashtools say plug in the phone through USB do so while holding download the back button on your phone. When done follow my guide.

Hello, and thank you for your interest. I'm in France... And I think there's only one french operator that introduced the 2.3.3 update, and it's not mine.
Anyway, I think I'll go for the first solution, because I allready prepared everything for it, but if you both think the second solution is better, please let me know before the weekend, and I'll try that.

I am no pro in flashtool, i dont know what you have done with your phone and so on, so its maybe better to use the other option .
But I did a little reseĀ§kuld recommend you to look dixperia 7 avenger (a stock based custom rom) for two reasons:
1. it was my first custom rom and its simply great ,
2. there is the stock kernel and an introduction how to flash the rom from 2.1
Even if you dont decide to start with this Rom it is sure interesting for you here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557455
People with Rooted Android 2.3.3 Stock(-based):
1. Go to xRecovery and do some steps:
-Factory Reset
-Wipe Cache Partition
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Wipe Battery Stats
2. Choose Install Custom Zip and select my ROM.

Hello, and thank you for your interest. I'm in France... And I think there's only one french operator that introduced the 2.3.3 update, and it's not mine.
Anyway, I think I'll go for the first solution, because I allready prepared everything for it, but if you both think the second solution is better, please let me know before the weekend, and I'll try that.
Tiko.
