Droidwall is not yet possible on our x10 due to kernel issue, booting a custom kernel is easy, flash the older miniloader on the page mentioned before, and boot custom kernel. I personally will not use custom kernels as it drains battery and makes not much difference compared to stock kernel which would be more stable.

hi hello frnz plz help me out...i am not much used to flashig....i managed to install CM6.1.3 on my xperia...i want to try TripNMiUI froyo,...my bb is 54.....i jus want to knw how..to run trips rom without rmoving wofbrks rom.....i mean not backing up..bt can i get an option like boot frm any of the two
Nope dual boot is not possible for now, the only way is backing up that you yourself mentioned
Just backup both roms with xrecovery and you can easily switch between roms by restoring in less than 5 min.
That WOULD be an awesome feature to have. But yes unfortunately, as mentioned, your going to have to back up and restore. Which shouldn't be too complicated.
DooMLorD is working on something of this sort of stuff.
basically dual boot manager.
Definetly cant wait for this feature
k thnk u guys fo ya reply.....so lets wait n c...if some devs come up with tat awesome feature......n tat will make our xperia..a BOMB....xperia roXXX...:-D
Hi, if i backup wolfbreaks rom when my x10 is on baseband .54 but after that i flash my baseband to .52 and then trips rom, when i restore wolfbreak's rom, do i need to reflash the baseband to .54 again?

yes.......
To avoid flashing each time you should just install trips rom and then use the bbpatch to fix it... or wait a few days as trips rom is almost on unified baseband... which means it can be installed on any.... hope this helps

I'm currently running stock 2.3.3 from SE (through Rogers in Canada) with baseband 2.1.71 (rooted since it was released)
I planned on installing CM7 on my phone so I decided to unlock my bootloader so that it is ready when I eventually do so. I used FlashTool 0.6.7.0 to unlock it and it ran without any problems.
However I'm unable to turn Wi-Fi on. It only says "Error" and I'm not too sure what's wrong. I tried searching for answers but others with same issues were using custom ROMs while I'm still on stock.
Anyone know what I can do to fix this? If you're missing any information to be able to help me, please let me know and I will post them. (I have about a week to fix this as I'll be leaving on vacation and I'll need wifi working)
Thanks!
If you have really opened bootloader, for such device special kernels are necessary (stock or custom). Flash by FlashTool one of such ftf-kernels, then install with utility xRecovery the module wi-fi for this kernel.
The author of each ROM recommends, what kernels to use and gives the link on downloading.
just look for the kernel tht is meant for unlocked bootloader tht should work with stock rom n then flash kernel via flashtool n wifi modules file through xrecovery ur wifi will work
Which kernel u using? U prob need the relevant WiFi modules.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot tonight. I noticed it mentioned to install a custom kernel but seeing how everything else was fine I skipped that step. (ooops )
I had that "error" on my stock with zKernel.I dont know cause,but i fix it with reinstall zKernel..Try with zKernel for stock..

Well, installed FXP105 and everything seems to be buttery smooth. Wifi is working now (yay!), but now camera is not working. Also tried with Vignette and no go.
Gonna search around a bit.
Thats ICS man,camera dont working and some other stuff eather.Its stable but its not for everyday use.
Sent from my xperia "z10i"
It's not ICS... I installed CM7.2. Found out FXP105 was missing a lib file for camera so I'll fix it later.
Thanks for all your help guys
FXP105 is 9.0 (ICS),thats FXP54 i think.

Hi. I haven't tested it with CM7 but MIUI had the same problem, so try to flash wifi fix and then UnlockedBL.zip . And also try other kernels

I know by unlocking it we can install custom Roms but
1. Are there any other benefits?
2. Are Roms for unlocked boatloaders better than those for locked ones??
3. Hear a lot that cyanogenmod & MIUI are for unlocked boatloaders & they are great
But also hear that CM is laggy & MIUI has Chinese parts in it
Is it true??
4. Both CM & MIUI have camera problems also
Can we fix them??
I mean can it be made to work again??
5. How do u unlock boatloader?
Plz if someone could answer my questions it would be nice
Sent from my X10 using xda premium
A definate pro is the vast amount of custom roms that would otherwise won't work on locked ie, miui, cyanogen and faster overclocked custom kernel ie doomkernel also the cm Roms on locked kernel is more or less lag free and much more fluid than stock roms and oodies miui is flawless and lag free

5.Look at the stickies guide by Crowds.
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Hi,
1/ The main benefits, i think, is taht you can install another kernel... DooMKerneL, ThKernel, KcKernel... once you did it, the recovery mode is always here, you can always make a backup, install a zip via Xrecovery or CWM... etc...
2/ The roms are the same but you may have less problem because the kernel is not bypassed...
3/ Don't know, but if so much people use them, it may be because they are great roms... You also have FeraLab Rom, DiXperia Rom, DonutHD Rom, X10S by Championswimmer and others...
4/ You just have to wait they fix the pb... the roms based on stock one don't have this kind of pb
5/ You have a search button ... Anyway i'm in a good mood look at the Flashtool guide by Crowds in my signature...
Hey noob here.
Lots of.time I.see ppl saying this rom and that rom ....and lots of time I see ppl saying trip kernel or some feral kernel or something ...what's the difference?
Rooted x10i running stock 2.3.3
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
hi
i myself googled it (kernel) that is and what i found was something like this
the kernel itself is what controls all the processes, inputs (hardware and software inputs), controles the fysic and virtual memory etc etc.
and the rom itself (this is with out goggling could be wrong) is the software like compared to your pc it would be windows, linux, etc
hope ths helped had to translate so hope you understand!
Thanx ! ! But I still don't understand .... I mean can v be on the stock rom n hav a different kernel? Or can v hav a different rom on the stock kernel?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
im pretty new to this myself and i've noticed there's so many different choices of roms and kernels out there so what i can tell you are the things i read and and have done/noticed so far.
first of yes i believe you can stay on stock and use another kernel (i actually went with CM7 Zmod first then changed kernels)
second ive seen most roms giving a link to a custom kernel aswell
custom kernel pros are somewhat explained in the following:
* i remember reading that the stock kernel kept on going even while its not needed
*so i installed the doomkernel V6 (CAUTION theres a difference between kernels for locked/unlocked bootloaders)
wich allowed me to set the cpu as i pleased (by another application wich i saw people using in videos etc. ''no frills CPU control'')
i did this before unlocking the bootloader and i noticed the difference in battery consumption aswell
theres so many different options in how to set the kernel that youre better of wiki'ing em . thats what i did and helped alot in understanding what it does.
sorry for all the info you didnt ask for but it might be usefull for later on ??
Yea definitely damn useful!!!!! So frm ur point, should I.change my kernel? Cuz I don't want to flash custom rom. Camera doesn't.work.best. and games don't seem to work properly on.this present stock.kernel of Sony ( srsly PES worked better on 2.1 !)

Oh and I also want to.overclock my device xD
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
im actually overclocking aswel but in moderation i suppose
theres one higher in Mhz wich i dont use because of the following.
1 im learning
2 scared
mainly because i saw this line
v06 (only for EXPERIENCED TESTERS) [OVERCLOCKED VERSION] {DEVICE MAY NOT BOOT} ( min/max: 128Mhz/1228Mhz )
and as youl see its not that different in Mhz as this one
v06-1113 [medium OVERCLOCK VERSION] ( min/max: 128Mhz/1113Mhz )
so its all out there but im pretty carefull on reading up first and then trying
ive pretty much got it all working on the first try
* CM7 Zmod
* unlocking the bootloader (meaning instead of loading stock kernel first, cancelling this, rebooting custom kernel it just goes straight to the last step (faster!))
*doomkernels V6 unlocked bootloader kernel
So I should unlock my bootloader n then change my kernel to.which ever u r on ( while being on stock 2.3.3 rom) n then overclock it ...logically n technically is what I'm saying is right?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
while i was looking for this i also found that he submitted kernels for stock roms wich i didnt use so im not sure why tbh :s
i believe that the CM7 Zmod isnt an actual ''rom'' aswell but a port (whatever that means )
so that means im using the stock rom with this ''mod'' and the V6 kernel non stock rom and evrythings bin working fine for about 2 weeks now
rom = like windows xp software
kernell = using software to mod the motherboard so its compatible with the rom
So can I stay on stock rom n change my kernel?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
whatever you use should be you're choice i suppose but what i did was .
get the kernel for the LOCKED bootloader first theres plenty of em out there.
dont forget the app youl need to control the cpu itself
ive seen posts of people refusing to unlock there bootloader mainly because you can mess up and brick (destroy) your phone
so whatever you do . dont unlock it untill some more exp. people explain what its all about.
im not sure so dont believe me on the following.
i believe it was something about unlocking it and doing a full wipe or such means youl do A FULL WIPE bye bye xrecovery and an endless bootloop
because xrecovery isnt or wasnt (fixed or not) build in the custom kernel
so untill then be safe theres plenty of roms/kernels etc to try with a locked bootloader so you'll wait 15 sec longer for the extra booting thats required
only reason i did it was to go straight to the custom kernel and to multi boot roms meaning i can try out other roms and still keep the one most stable for daily use.
What is perhaps the most prominent use for unlocking the booloader is that u can have your recovery built-in at kernel level (as is the case for pretty much every ulbl kernel), meaning u will always have recovery on ur phone
Sent from my Xperia X10 using XDA
That's it? For just having recovery u need to unlock bootloader?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
no no hes saying ''at kernel lvl'' you even got recovery with your locked bootloader if im not mistaken ? (think you told me in some post)
so if i understand it it means even if doing full wipes etc youl always have xrecovery cause its build in on kernel lvl (so build in your custom kernel)
No I mean that if u flash to stock or anything usually u would break recovery but with ulbl it ALWAYS there. There are other reasons too (like extra schedulers and governor's for CPU)

Hey, I'm interested in this so I'm gonna jump in on the conversation.
I've read that with an unlocked bootloader, the recovery is built in at the kernel level, and from my limited knowledge I thought the kernel resides in the boot partition. Why wouldn't the recovery be in the recovery partition? Is their a recovery partition?
When I did a nandroid backup, I notice that it only backed up the sys, data and dalvik. Maybe theres no boot or recovery partition.... I'll eventually learn all the answers I need, I figured this was a good thread to ask some of these questions.
I really hav no idea ....I myself am.trying to pick points from here

Hi guyz
This is some weird problm I m facing in rooting my cell
None of the rooting methods seems to work for me wonder why
I cant root via flashing older kernel first coz that makes the device unusable (both processing and touchscreen responsiveness is decreased by 100 times)
Same happens when I try flashing custom kernels wid autoroot feature which includes sliding kernel vengence kernel munjeni and brains kernel
Every kernel other than the one which I extracted from stock ftf makes the device unusable
M on. 54 fw... And tethering is also broken...
So what the reason could be??
Is it the stock rom m I using??
Should I try to download c.1.0 which never caused me any trouble...??
Its highly irritating... M on absolutely stock fw and unrooted device really sucks... :/
Sorry its big but elaborated for better understanding of the issue
Edit - why me .., embarrassed...
I hv helped 100s here and nw struggling to get my phone rooted.
I cant download a new stock rom coz m seriously lacking any free time due to my clg.
this problem does not go away when u come back to .54 kernel after rooting??

Phone becomes normal when flash stock kernel
Its like that the Rom aint accepting any other kernel besides the one that it has
Flashtool says root access allowed
Bt when I install supersu /super user it says no super user binary installed
Edit _ I got it rooted somehow... Even I dun knw how still having serious issues wid custom kernels...

Now its solved
I came to conclusion that there was something wrong wid that ftf
I was able to flash xperiance lite v3 by miner
Its a standalone rom so I automatically upgraded to c.1.0 and now my device is super fine wid custom kernels.....
I aint going back to that stock ftf... It almost ruined my confidence hahahaha
try my rom autoroot is there
