[Q] How to downgrade an X10 - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello my wife has the sony ericsson x10 and we updated it to the new firmware. She doesn't like it. Is there anyway to go back to 1.6 firmware and if so how.
Thank you

To let you know, your x10 will lose some functionality on the phone if she downgrades from 2.1 to 1.6. Like the camera, software enhancemeaces, speed, and others. Did you still want to continue?

Use the Flash Tool to flash original operators firmware....

when you say lose function. it will still work or not at all.

Wow everyone can't wait for 2.3 but she wants 1.6. Cool

Maybe some sharper images in camera and no hd camera in 1.6.

Well I miss the curved lock screen and there were plenty of spots to put a reject or silence buttons.

Use flashtool to get the 1.6 stock firmware, but I highly sugest to keep 2.1, you can try to istalling a theme.

You can use the androxyde and bin4ry's flashtool to downgrade: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
And you can search the 1.6 firmware here in my tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872298&page=1

She told me today her applications are crashing on the new update. If it was me I wouldn't own the xperia. But she likes sony Ericsson.

2.1 x10a reads as x10i any way to fix?

soo ive had the 2.1 global genric on my x10a since the flash tool was released and everything has been working fine except my x10a thinks its an x10i. Its no real problem but i would like my phone to say the right thing. is there a file i can change to fix this? i already have root access and root explorer. thanks in advance

There is no official X10a 2.1 update.
If you want your X10a to think it is an X10a, then wait for the official X10a update and install that (you'll most probably have to flash your old factory ROM first).
Yes you can, I thinks it is in the build.prop file

In a way, yes, because the rest of the 'update's SE will release for us early-adopters will be in a word, crap.
Aaahh :-(
Maybe i'll sell it to buy a new one with froyo or gingie...

whats new with this update anyway? i just updated and havent noticed anything except that i have less free phone memory.
Some of the features work faster like camera. It was working very slow on the earlier update and also xda wasn't able to root it until some time ago.

Sorry I kind of figured what I initially wrote probably wasn't what you were looking for and deleted it.
don't ever believe leaks. cm6 and cm7 will be compatible once our devs get ahold of it. I find that cm6 settings work better with 2.3, we'll see when it happens

It could be the kernel thats the issue.

Actually I tried it before with the stock kernel and it did the same thing only difference was that it took longer to crash.

Have you tried it on any ROMS?
Sent from my Atrix XDA Premium App
Yep I also tried it on wolf's v7
I think the app is just to much in the opening sequence after the first screen that says robot invader I have actually used the app on other phones like the atrix and inspire and the app doesn't use that much ram so if that isn't the problem idk what is.

I installed it on my x10 and have played it some with no problems. I hope it gets sorted, it's a fun addictive game!
I'm using TEAM 3.8 rom, the stock ThKernelv3 from appman, golauncher and have unlocked bootloader.

There seems to be a pattern of having an unlocked bootloader but how would that help?
Which kernel are u using the one based on zkernel or the other one.

Stock everything, works on my x10, no noticable lag, but takes a second or two longer when compared to the atrix.

Hmmm... Maybe you should try with that custom kernel again. If it fails, you might want to report it to the dev

Well right now I installed zkernel and it works so I'm happy lol don't really know what the issue was but maybe I unistalled something crucial that the app nedded and when I did the restore it got fixed but anyway the app now works beatifully no lag whatsoever. Ill try to see if I can make a list of the kernels that the app works on in stock 2.3.3

I have an x10 stock gingerbread and the game is great besides the controls becoming unresponsive and it slows down now and again like video lag or just to much in the background running but I have closed apps and what not as was mentioned lots of free ram for the game to run with but besides that no crashes and its a great game best I had played thus far for a phone
Cheers Sactravas
