Hello Everyone;
I updated my X10 through SEUS and it failed to update while update reched at almost the end. Now i would like to use Flash Tool for a generic firmware but the one i can get is GUI based and for some reason it does not detect the FTF file and also my X10 while SEUS detects my X10 fine but again quits the process at the end. I have searched forum for the DOS based Flash Tool but unable to find it. If anyone can point me to the right thread where that DOS based Flash Tool is posted along with the Generic Firmware and Baseband, i would be really obliged.
I have searched a lot but could not find anything.
Any help please.
There's no DOS-based flashtool, there was one launched from the terminal using java. Anyway, the GUI-one IS better. Put everything under "firmware" folder, it'll be detected.

Hi everyone
I really need your help guys, I'm desperate!! I wanted to upadate my x10 mini to froyobread following all the instructions.
1. I rooted the phone with SuperOneClick
2. I flashed it using FlashTool, and here is the problem: I used a different firmware (e15i_2.1.1.a.0.6_Nordic) <--- That's the firmware for Xperia X8. The flashing was succesful, but when it finished, the phone started rebooting over and over with only a blackscreen (no SE logo).
I've tried many ways to restore the phone, such as:
1- FlashTool with a firmware for x10 mini (The problem is I need to check "USB Debugging" inside the O.S., so I couldn't repair it this way.
2- I tried PC Companion and SEUS but when I follow the program steps it says "Your phone is up to date so no needs bla bla bla..."
I don't know what else to do... I'm frustrated and really hope you can help me guys.
Thank'u
SOLVED:
Finally I fixed the problem flashing with x10flash and 1.6 android firmware (it's called "E10i_1.6 1.2.A.1.174 406.7z"). (x10flash isn't the same as Flashtool, so if you wanna recover to life your phone, you must use x10flash)
I put the rar files of the firmware 1.6 inside the "firmware" folder from "X10Flash-2.1" and then I flashed with the X10flash.bat file.
After that, when te x10flash.bat was opened, I select number "2" and then "N". Next, you have to select your operative system. (win xp, vista, 7, etc)
Finally, you can install the rom or baseband whatever you want.
(I can't put the links 'cos I'm a new member, but you can google them)
- E10i_1.6 1.2.A.1.174 406.7z
- x10Flash
I hope this helps.
Do you still have that files? I am unable to download that files . I have googled them but links have expired.
Thanks.
Hi everyone. I've got this problem which i can't solve (nor find the solution on the net).
I have a rooted mini pro with stock 2.3.3. I've unlocked bootloader through sony ericsson website and verificated my IMEI number there. Then i've rooted my mini pro - and kept stock 2.3.3.
The 2.3.4 update is out now (PC Companion says that too), but windows keeps failing to install the MTP USB drivers when i try to connect in this mode according to guide in PC Companion. I gave up trying to update firmware this way after lots of attempts.
So i decided to try update by SEUS. When i connected in recovery mode, SEUS said that software in my device was changed and thus cannot be updated. I really don't know what to do now. I'm afraid that SE blocked updates to my IMEI number as i unlocked the bootloader, but i'm just guessing.
The question is:
Does someone know how to update my mini pro to stock 2.3.4? Is there any way to lock bootloader back as it was and get SE to know that i'm a nice guy again?
Thank you very very much for any help! I'm starting to be desperate about this.

try with http://www.wotanserver.com or use flash tool or find someone who has setool...
Sorry about this being in the wrong section but it won't let me make a thread in the development thread, basically trying to unlock my bootloader, i've looked online for a few hours now, i follow instructions on unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com but when i look for the drivers it doesn't find them. step 13 says:
"On your computer, you will be asked for drivers. Point to the usb_driver folder where you placed the android_winusb.inf-file, and select the Android Boot loader Interface-file." the android boot loader interface-file doesnt exist, i'm slowly losing the will to live. someone please help i want custom roms :'(
Hi , the metod of Sony Ericsson are so much slow , in the metod of s1tool in 30 seg
The method on Sony's site (same as on CyanogenMod's site) didn't work for my unbranded Mini Pro (SK17).
Neither did the testpoint (DRM-preserving) method - until I tried using a different USB port. It is indeed fast, when it works.
you need to install fastboot drivers . search fastboot_with_android_usb_file.rar on google, there will you get that file on mediafire.com, extract it. it contains driver. when asked for drivers, manually install drivers by pointing to extracted folder
Hey yeh its all done now and running nerodroid, thats exactly what I did and thanks for the help
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
Perfect!
I've rooted and installed my old neo V some time back, but now I've been given another terminal with stock firmware and running 4.3.2 android, my using "DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su" as sugested in other posts in this forum, all that happens is the phone reboots and the bat file reports a bunch of errors, mostly "file is only read", on the other hand flashtool doesn't seem to get me very far as clicking root after the program reconizes the phone does nothing.
Will I have to downgrade from 4.3.2 to 4.0.4 to root the phone? I haven't found any documentation on this.
I remember having to pay like 10 bucks of my credit card and using a cable connected to GND to jump a jtag like conexion off the board last time I did this, I'm sorry if I came to you guys with my problem, but I've had this problem all night.
Once rooted the no need to root it again.. it's 4.2.2 not 4.3.2..
It you wanna downgrade use stock ftf flash using flash tool
I recently got a Xperia X10a, and I noticed that it has the android 1.6 on it. I know that the newest version of Android is 4.2 so I started searching the internet for an update to android 4.0.4 at least. I discovered that the android 4 for the X10 isn't completed so I went to android 2.3 and found the site freexperia, there you can download the CM7 for X10. I'm a noob, I don't know what a kernel is and what I can cause to the phone by changing it so I need help, because every tutorial explains how to update from 2.1/2.3 to 2.3.3 or something like that. I also tried to update the phone throug SE Pc companion and update service, but I can't pass through the step of pressing back and plugging the phone in again, I do what is said to do but nothing happens and the phone just turns back on. Also i saw something about the baseband and changing it to most recent one, but I don't know how to do it, and I discovered that you can put multitoutch in the X10. How can I update from android 1.6 to 2.3? I need to update the baseband? If yes how and to what version(i'm from brazil, and I don't know if this change from country to country) What are the main differences between CM7 and the official SE 2.3 updates? Through these updates the multitouch will be automatically installed in my device? I also would like to install clock work mod on my device, how can I do that?
PS.: I read the thread about using the flashtool to do many thing to my device, and the tutorial was very clear, so if I can do what I want using tha tutorial as a foundation the process will be much more easy.
Well, I've been trying to update for a while now and I think I discovered the problem. As I need at least the Android 2.1 to start doing what I want with my phone I have to update via PC companion, but when I reach the end of the preparing step I get an error on my PC, after I turning off the device I plug it in holding down the back key and a pop up apears saying that the device had a malfunctionig and is not conect so I get stuck in this step, as the device is not recognized. Can anyone help me?
What i did with mine is rooted the phone while on 1.6 then changed the region code. After connecting via pc comp i got the update to 2.3.
