[Q] Anyone knows how to install the new 2.3? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an x10i that was an x10a(Not really sure what my phone is now), im running "Eclair Bitsnacker.com v2.6, BB 2.1.54, KV 2.6.29, Buuild number 2.1A,0.435"
Do anyone know how to update to 2.3? I want to run the CM7.
The link on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=927140, the MT enabler is dead and so as the gb_alpha_0008 is dead.

Use the GB by J from here
Just unpack the file, flash the baseband then flash the rom.

And before installing ROM wipe everything in xRecovery.

Thanks! I'll see if I can get my X10 to run this CM7! Hoping nothing goes wrong. Oh! and one more, how do you flash the rom after I flash the x10?

just FYI, your phone will always be X10a, it doesn't matter if it says X10i or x, it's whatever the Dev wrote. I changed mine to say 'denenatse' :-D

can x10a with nordic fw update to 2.1 with no problems?

i used bin4rys flashtool to flash the nordic firmware onto my at&t x10a (it worked flawlessly btw) ive been seeing posts saying that because mine was originally an x10a i cant upgrade to 2.1 through pc companion. I also read that 2.1 will mess up my 3g, i have my 3g info written down and can manually put it in without any problems so would i still have a problem?

No, bin4ry says the radios are different and whatnot. You didn't read the other threads. Best to wait and let the devs take a look at the firmwares first rather than blindly flashing.
Go back to a legitimate x10a firmware and wait -- otherwise yes there is a possibility that you wont be able to upgrade through SEUS at all.
-.- well in a way this works out cause now i finally have "allow non market access" as an option. Soooo our best option is to wait for a flashtool for 2.1?

It does NOT. You can flash your phone with Nordic but you can NOT go anywhere from there on. Because SEUS will tell you that you have the latest FW and PCC says that can not download the file for you phone,

because my tittle says member,does not mean im new in this,im in the flashing and modding bussiness since 2007,i ve made a lot of patches and.... whatever,thats my point.
I think its easier to install wolfs rom

no difference IMO
Well i just asked because with adb mask controller says that i dont have busybox intsalled in the pre-rooted version,but...anyways,i will find the way to solve it.
just dont find where to close the thread,like on another forums,well,some mod,please close.

stock se is good
prerooted is good, but sendin files through any file explorer apps using bluetoh

Update fail?

I updated my xperia neo via OTA(the update 2.3.4). I tried to install however after 5 minutes, my phone turned on and it said that : could not install.....(or something like that, i dont remember clearly)
Is there anyone has the same problem?
Sorry for my bad english
is your phone rooted ?
My guess is that you phone is rooted and you changed something in the /system/apps/ folder, so you can't update OTA. You should re-flash back at 2.3.2 and then do a OTA or update with the PC Companion software but in this way you will lose root...

No, you got the problem only if you are already with the 2.3.4, if you flash back to 2.3.2 from the 2.3.3 firmware you should have no problem.
I tried restoring some apps which i had removed and download the update again however, the problem still remains.

Use wotanserver or flashtool. Faster and with flashtool you dont lose your apps and dont need mess restoring apps.

Read the forum and you see.. when updating 2.3.2 to 2.3.4 you got problems with battery. You had right now 2.3.3 and dont mess downgrading. Use flashtool..download latest 2.3.4 ftf and flash it. I did it about 5 times for testings and no problems at all.

I alway when flash new firmaware then i wipe device and after that i havent root.
I use different method to get root back. If your bootloader is open then you can easly make root back.
Use "rootxperia.zip" via clockworkmod recovery.
So. Is you phone bootloader open or on?
Anyone can confirm that?

Its good choice. When you have working computer, then make you updates.
Always good to have a usb cable and a working PC on hand when doing any flashing/updating/rooting etc with your phone. with 2.3.4 once it's installed and if you don't have root, as long as you have an unlocked bootloader you can use rootxperia to root your phone, however the kernel for overclocking etc (doomkernel) isn't working yet with 2.3.4 so i suggest until it is 100% working to stay clear of this, also to stay clear of any downgrades to 2.3.2 when you are on the 2.3.4 firmware.

YOu can simply replace kernel if you are using any custom ROM on locked kernel.
Then you can simply copy and paste it (overwrite)
EDIT: As I know, this cant be applied when on unlocked bootloader (you havent noticed it before).
Yeah, well apperntly im outta luck i geus. My x10i is rooted + unlocked bootloader, but im running 2.3.3 gb.... No custom rom, about the kernel i dont know if its stock or custom, i would have to take i look at google to find it out.
Edited: And yeah, looking back it would indeed bin better if i posted this info in first post.
After all it looks that im gonna have to borrow a pc by a friend.

Check : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1669906. Download image, boot phone in Flashmode ( Vol down + USB connect if i remember correctly ) , and flash it. The software is pretty self-explanatory.
It's always good to keep backup, if nothing else but to revert to stock/earlier Rom without losing all data.

One of them is a torrent, I would recommend that, even though I downloaded the Indian ftf. I don't think it makes a difference which one you use, especially if you're going to switch to a custom Rom later.

Technically it shouldn't. There was a huge rush to flash the Indian version, at it was the first of the Sola ICS' on XDA. Loads of people flashed it, irrespective of region. I guess it doesn't matter as in case we ever need to give back to Sony, they'll have bigger issues than checking which version of stock we're on. I'm not really sure though
have kept the global version to download...maybe it will take a day or so and i can flash only then
ftf for .110 is downloaded. can someone tell me how to flash it. i also downloaded flashtool.
