Let's say I get tired of gingerbread (2.3.3), how can I revert back to 2.1?
The bootloader is still not cracked, so it must be more or less impossible to revert to 2.1, Or is there a way
You can simply reflash 2.1 via SEUS or PC Companion. Or via flashtool.
Restore the backup if you backup-ed the original system or just run SEUS
Use SEUS or flashtool, here is a guide how to flashtool :

I've installed a custom 2.2 rom to my X10, but I wanted to restore my phone to the standard 2.1 rom because of issues I had to restore my backup files.
Flashing with SEUS or PCC didn't work, so I thought I'd try to remove the custom 2.2 rom with Xrecovery. I selected wipe system from the Xrecovery menu. That didn't went well..
My phone doesn't boot anymore, it's getting stuck when the white Sony Ericcson appears on the display.
I already tried to flash my phone with SEUS and PCC, but I get the message I already have the newest software installed.
Flashing with Flashtool did work, but then I have to reboot my phone to turn on debugging/ unknown sources. And that still doesn't work.
Somebody can help me with this please?
Hook up to SEUS and when it says you already have the latest software, it also gives you the choice of going ahead and (re)installing it anyway. Do that, and that should take care of the problems. If you don't see that option, you should try downloading the latest version of SEUS, installing it, and trying again.
Since you did a full wipe you've lost xRecovery too, so SEUS is your best bet IMO.
I have SEUS Version: 2.11.1.9
It doesn't work, same message. I don't see an option to install it anyway..

To flash with Bynary's flash tool you don't need to be on usb debugging mode... Just put your cellphone on flash mode...
press the back key while you insert the usb cable and then flash whatever firmware you want...

recommendation is 2.1.A.0.435 because of MT & stability.
Hello,
I've rooted my stock 2.3.3 with flash tool, but after the kernel upgrade, the phone isn't recognized by the FlashTool, so I can't ask root access and install xRecovery.
What am I doing wrong? I'm using flashtool 0.2.9 (tried with 0.3 but it's weird, doesn't seem to work as good as with 0.2.9)

You sure that you're using DooM's flashtool for GB rooting and xRec.?
Because if you use the ordinary flashtool it won't install the proper xRec. for 2.3.3 roms.
Hi at all,
i installed on my xperia x10 mini pro the newest version of miniCM7.
For recovery is CWM now on my phone, before i had xrecovery.
But with CWM Flashtool 0.3 couldnt find my phone when i choose a firmware to flash...for example one firmware from this list: Firmware X10
Could i install xrecovery again for recovery?
Have a nice day

Flashtool, doesn't works with CWM.
You, can always restore xrecovery, if u need to.
If u want the tool for reverting back to xrecovery, search it in dev section.
Or PM me, i will message u the link.
Make sure you use flashtool pre v3, so you want a 2.9.x beta otherwise it wont detect your phone. Having CWM installed has no baring on whether or not flashtool can detect your phone, i've used it since having CWM without ill effect.
Run the gordonsgate.exe included with flashtool and make sure you have SE companion installed, but exit the SE companion and dont have it running in the background. Reboot after installing.
It should then work without a hitch.

I'm trying to use sony pc companion to flash to ICS, but it keeps failing. I have the stock 2.3 ROM, rooted, with CWM installed.
I installed CWM by copying files from the CWM tar file to /system/bin and /system/xbin. Unfortunately I didn't make backups of the original files.
I think I need to restore the original files to get sony pc companion to work...
Is there a way for me to get the original files back so that I can uninstall CWM and do the upgrade?
I can't see any find a source for those files or an uninstall procedure that works after some searching...
what is your current bootloader status? locked or unlocked?
locked
I suggest u flash using pc companion or sus and choose repair from software update. It will reinstall your rom to stock and without the cwm

I tried pc companion and it fails... what is sus / where do I get it?
PC Companion should work even with CWM installed. I think CWM is not the problem.
SUS is HERE
SUS worked! Don't know why pc companion was failing...
