going from 2.1 to factory 1.6(starting over) - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i just recently got 2.1b firmware and im trying to start completely over and go back to 1.6. Then I plan to get the next modded rom to use. the troubble is because this new fw has a completely new baseband I cant do nothing with it. Ive tried to use Seus(older vserion) but it says i have the recent software. I tried to flash a different baseband on flash tool but that crashed and am fear of doing it again because I dont want my phone to turn into a paper weight. I googled my search and all I came up with was the firmware for 1.6 but not a detailed explanation on to to revert back.

Try flashtool latest. Try reinstalling seus n PC companion after uninstalling it properly

flash tool I tried with the baseband and service didnt work. The SEUS I had the most recnt version but it says i have the latest firmware and wont let me mess with the software

Restart your PC and try seus you should get repair option however it should be 2.1 but not 1.6(unless you're using us at&t)

I tried pc companion and did repair and got a message saying I had the latest firmware. I tried seus and couldnt even get the firmware becase i have the latest firmware apparently

Just simply reflash the baseband even if it crash once or twice :/

Why are you trying to go to 1.6 if you're gonna use a custom ROM? The ROMs all require you to start from 2.1 and there is no way to turn your phone into a "paperweight", great part about modding X10s, its almost impossible to brick.

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!

i figured if i start over from scratch i can have a "clean" phone with no memory of any roms or baseband changes on my phone and I can switch roms with ease. As of right now i have firware 2.1b and baseband .52 but on the phone it shows "unkown base band" from my current posiion i cant use flashtool besides flash so im kinda stuck i cant go forward or backward so im kinda in limbo

If you are getting baseband unknown just go to dev tools>bad behaviour>crash system server. If that doesn't work you have an incompatible baseband.

I have 2.1b firmware and Im trying to root and switch to a custom rom... im currently stuck

Use flash tool to root
Install recovery then rom

[Q] Installed Cyanogen CM7 - Boot loop - Please help, desperate.

My x10 is stuck in a boot loop after I flashed the ROM.
How do i stop this from happening? I really like the look of the ROM over my current one.
Please help.
EDIT: Managed to get freex10 ROM running. So I have a useable phone now.

Same Issue I think
I think I am having the same issue but when my x10 boots it goes to unlock screen and then I have this loop with "The application ADW.Launcher(process.android.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. The device then flashes the Cynogen loading screen and goes back to the unlock screen where I get the same message and the same loop. My xrecovery doesnt work and I cant seem to get the phone to use the SE update manager because it also says its up to date and doesnt provide a repair option. Can anyone help with this? I dont care which android os I go to at this point as long as it will work.
You probably need to use flashtool to flash the .52 baseband fix. Unless you have .52 already.
If that doesnt work, try flashing 2.1 totally over again with flashtool.

Can someone link me a guide as to how to flash the ROM with flash tool?
I flashed the baseband with it but I used xrecovery for the ROM itself because I could not work out how to use the flash tool.
I'll try reflashing the baseband when I get home tonight.

To get out of the bootloop just flash back to 2.1 and start over again. And make sure to follow the instalation instructions given by the dev when flashing the rom.
I still can't work it out.
The ROM is in a .zip file and the flash tool doesent seem to be picking it
up and when I unzip it there are no selectable files.

The file you use in flashtool is an .ftf file

Then what do I do with a .zip?
yes, you DO flash the .zip file with xrecovery. step one, flash bb with flashtool, step two, start phone in xrecovery and flash .zip, reboot, and it should work.

first try SEUS that comes on your ROM( left click SE icon in 'my computer' install) if that one doesn't work, uninstall and install SEUS from SE site, but one of them will say 'repair'

Yeah, that's what I did the first time.
I just tried it again. Same problem.
Phone turns on, boots, sits on home screen for a few seconds then restarts.
Why would this happen?
EDIT: I managed to check the baseband version int he few seconds the phone was on, it says it is unknown. Would this cause this problem?

The ftf files you need are on the second post. Just put the ftf file in the firmware section of the flashtool then flash it and follow the on screen instructions.
With baseband unknown go to the app on your phone called dev tools then go to bad behaviour and crash system sever when the phone reboots you should have signal and baseband will no longer be unkown.
I tried that, It keeps telling me I have my old Cyanogen mod for 2.2 installed when I do it.
In the process of running SEUS, hopefully it puts me back to 2.1

Could that stop the rebooting?

No, i dont think that is the cause of the rebooting cause ii get that a lot but the phone never reboots on me, what kernel are you on. Cause a lot of the custom kernels reboot when the screen is off or when you have the cpu up too high.

Help if possible :)

Hello people,
right yesterday i have sold my Xperia x10i and bough my self Omnia 7 Samsung....now after selling the phone i did factory reset deleted all files from phone and i formated my 16gb HC SD hard that i had inside.
Now after i did facotry reset,the guy that bough a phone(my good friend) have next problems:
1.Market not showing all application as it did before.
2.Cant find the Wi-Fi as we all can,and before reset phone found it everytime.So the wireless i used on that phone before i did factory reset is not showing anymore ....
-Now i am wondering what problem could be.Because i didnt do much flashing and so on on Xperia i am asking is it possible to get Market Back showing all apps and make wi fi work again as it did?
-I am using new baseband i am sure it's .61 and new rom that got realsed reacently on the forums...
Baseband is : 2.1.67 and Firmware or Rom w/e is 2.1.b.0.1...
-If i root my phone again and install xrecovery and do a Clear Chache and everything to reset to default and flash the rom or firmware again could that solve a problem? If not please say what i could go.
How about using sues and then root and install recovery again. Probablly quicker in the long run.

Not working what could possibly be error? In it? What i should do to make it work again and to show all application in market and to find every Wi-fi?
It's Unbranded and it's X10i not X10a or so
Flash to any stock firmware and he ll be fine

[HELP]Xperia malfunction

i just unlocked the phone but during the process of flashing the 2.1 firmware the cable popped out if.
after that i got the firmware in, unlocked the phone.
after that if i insert a simcard it will enter in a bootloop, even if the phone detect the signal and makes a call, after a few mins it will crash and bootloop
any idea of what its happening?
I used to think Asa was a rare name and suddenly there are 3 ppl on this forum with that name myself included lmao
Something most likely got messed up when the cord fell of, have you tried recovery through SEUS? If that doesn't work use flash tool to flash the appropriate firmware.

Oh ok, from an anime i suppose?
Well the custom firmware still uses some elements of the stock. So if the custom doesn't overwrite an area that was messed up with it's own configurations you'd still be gimped. So reflashing stock or repair should fix it up for you.
did you have a xrecovery backup?

no everytime i reflash the stock firmware it kills the xrecovery.
anyways now it "works" stlll having problems with the calls, i made a call and it rebooted and to get the phone working i had to remove the sim card.
and after the first call with the other simcard which im using to test the phone, it doesnt get signal anymore...
atleast it "works" but since the phone its for my gf... i want it atleast stable on reboots hehehe

Answer for the third question.I always flashed older baseband, so the SUES detects too old software.

[Q] Phone on loop after installing wrong kernel!

Hiya guys,
I use XDA Developers a lot but it seems that I have f***ed up my phone. I wanted to go back to stock rom from CM 7.2, but Sony PC Companion didn't recongize my phone, so I decided to do it manually. While trying to do it, on flash tools I clicked on the wrong kernel and re-locked the boot loader without getting rid of CM7.
Now... here is the problem. I have tried to restore the phone via Sony PC Companion but it says something about no updates for my phone even though I clicked on repair, but it also doesn't recognize it as a X10i (just says Sony / Sony Ericsson phone). And I tried to fix it using Flashtools (different versions) but it still doesn't work...
Anyone able to help me. I would really really be grateful as I am using a O2 XDA Steller at the moment and its proper sh*t :S
I had the same problem, so I did RESTORE in my RECOVERY and then everything worked out. and I flashed different kernels to use recoveries to see where was my backup
