Do you know what baseband you have? If not use the flashtool to flash stock 2.1 rom, root, install xrec & start over.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

My base band. its .54 if im not wrong. and i do not know how to use flashtool give me some instrutions PLEASE. thanks alot for helping.

don't use xrec 1.0.0. and/or your system/data/app/ram is overloaded.
Good say Sir.

Thanks for the advance warning Phillu97 but we are not even that close yet...plus I won't recommend it to anyone unless they know exactly what they are doing.
First go here and you might want to bookmark it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
It has the flashtool, links to the stock SE firmare and instructions on how to use the flashtool, how to root & install xrecovery using the flashtool. If you are sure about BB54 then the file you need is this:
http://www.mediafire.com/?sqv6274anzfzn2x IF YOU HAVE AN X10I
or this
http://www.multiupload.com/9H20YEXEHR IF YOU HAVE AN X10a
Honestly either one would work but it's up to you. Make sure you read the until post 5 cause it will tell you everything you need. Post# 6 on that thread is optional and if you are flashing a custom ROM it's not necessary.
Good luck.

Oh .. so which version of xrec should i use? would ya Link it for me? And also wanna ask if i flash 2.1 rom. Dose it mean than my x10i is gonna be like when i just bought it? or something else? sorry for not knowing alot of stuff . i just joined in yesterday.

you need to use xrecovery version 0.3. If I find it, I will post it here.
http://www.mediafire.com/?eyihuzn4h96xw4c

You should use Xrec 0.3 which now can be easily installed via FlashTool.

v0.3 but you don't have to download it separately. Once you download the flashtool and root your phone, go to advanced and you'll see install xrecovery.
Was your device branded? If yes then then the answer is no. It will flash generic 2.1 firmware but maybe not exactly as yours originally.
That's ok buddy....we all started as noobs so don't worry about it. But do use the thanks button!! LOL

Alright Guys. Thanks Alot. making me feel so welcome already
oh. and whats the best ROM for xperia x10i with android 2.1? (gives highest gaming performance and Mhz)

Err ... what do you mean if its branded?
and about flashtool, does it require my phone to be in dubugging mode or mounted or not. bcos, my phone stucks at the home page. i cant drag the notification bar down. it wont respond to my touches at all, and my x10i flashmode is like, my computer cant even detect my x10i.

Have you even looked at the thread I sent you? It has step by step instructions and pictures so it will be easy to follow. Common now bro....we can't just spoon feed you everything.

Mines StarHub. branded i guess. i downloaded the xrec 0.3... im waiting for the 2.1 firmware to finish downloading... ill try it out later. if theres more questions, ill post it..
Thanks alot yeah.

When i copy the Ftf file into the files firmware, click flash, click the (...), and then i go to thr files firmware and then i theres nothing inside.

Now it shows

well u can either have root or the r2ba020 firmware.
choice is urs.
if u want root stick to the instructios.
if u want r2b then follow jerpleas guide to flash r2b firmware on the x10.

Where is jerpeleas guide? Is that the one for flash tool? Because I can't get it to work :S

thanks for the quick reply do we have any experts here on optimus flashing a easy guide would be nice what and which files go where when they are downloaded really confusing what to do with the decryprted files do we leave them in the zip format or do we have to unzip them we them end up with loads of files if they are unzipped.Hope someone can shed abit of light on optimus as i can see this is the easy and free way to get back home.

can do two ways.
one download the decrypted files. unzip it, use the flash tool provided by jerplea.
if u have the rom files as downloaded by seus then u can use seus to update or omnius.
in omnius the larger file goes in the first box and the smaller in the next.

Unzip the original zip file so there is 2 files - phone.zip and R1FB001.zip (or whatever its called). In Omnius for the "application" file choose the R1FB001 File and for the "customization" file choose phone. Zip. You really cant go wrong
Found the answer i was looking for above

seus does not work have already tried it blags on about firmware already up to date tried all the methods i am comming from root back to x10i latest firmware so seus is no good ominus is the way to go back if anyone wants to go back after they have rooted and dont like it.
I managed to restore back again. I just copied the .sin files in from a decrypted firmware into the step 1 folder then ran step 1.bat
Works like a charm
I can now repair in Sony Ericsson Updater again
How many . Sin files what about zip file that is named phone can u give details of files to replace
I was able to successfully unroot my x10a with omnius. And then I updated to the x10i firmware again Going to wait until full root is achieved and stable.

Well I used R2BA020 for flash tool version.
From the large file I copied across the system file which had a really long name so I renamed it to system.sin
From the smaller file I coppied;
amss_fs.sin
apps_log.sin
amss.sin
fota0.sin
fota1.sin
recovery.sin
dsp1.sin
boot.sin
cache.sin
Then I ran step 1.bat again and then I just repaired in Updater Tool.
Hope this helps.
thanks Findee! works for me.
Really sorry if I'm hijacking the thread.. I recently rooted and I don't really like root right now so... Figured it would be a waste to start a whole new thread again.
Just so I'm sure I'm doing it right.. I have the two O2 R2 firmware files I used to debrand my X10 with PC Companion.
Can I use these in Omnius? They don't seem to show up as "compatible file" types when browsing for them. However the ones that are in zip format are.
Which ones do I use? The ones from the debrand method or the "flash tool" files.
Use the decrypted zip ones in in optimus very simpley
thanks Findee!!!!

[Solved] X10 boot-loop/brick after JIT installation

Keeping it quick, as i need to eat dinner,
I try to install JIT enabler v2
via xrecovery,
did as told to wipe dalvik cache
Now phone can access xRecovery, but cannot boot, it took one day.
Any Ideas?
ALso for extras, i am wanting to install Jereplea's cm 7.0.2 (2.3.3) ROM, but it is in .,rar format, so i cannot flash it via xrecovery. I'm not sure how to use flashtool, as it needs some .ftf file that i cannot find, and it will not allow me to flash.
Didn't you made a backup with xrec? Restore if you did. If not, install again 2.1 rom. You can find tft files in the first post of Flashtool thread.
About J's CM7, maybe the zip is in the rar file. Just extract it.

I backed up with titanium root,
Yeh, i'll try that
TY
Btw, how do you flash baseband 52?
Its needed for J's CM7 rom.
I can find firmware stuff, but i dont know exactly how to make a .ftf thing.
OK, titanium backup is not the same. It makes backup of apps, not the whole rom.
You can slash firm .504, it comes with bb 52.
Download the tft, put it in /firmware forlder of flashtool (on the computer). Then start fashtool, connect x10 and hit Flash button, choose the tft file and go on.

wow... this is wrong information/ some of it anyway.
first.... 435. comes with .54bb not 52. second. be more helpful and not give links he has to chase around....
flash tool is very easy to use once you have it installed... if you still have recovery dont flash a fresh install of a 2.1 your wasting time.
if revoery works. download the winrar program for the cwm file that you want to install. its like winzip slightly differnet. it will then give you the flashable zip you want. most likely it is named updat.zip. put that on your sd card.
if you need the .52bb yes it is included in the folder with the rom. it is in tft format already... drop that into the firmware folder where you have flashtool located. then simply click on flash.. it will show the .52 files there will be several.
if they are not there... click on the advanced tab and scroll to bottom where it says bundle creation click on it and find the tft file you inserted into the firmware folder and when it opens the window up. drag all files from left to right and name the open spots at the top right. when done flash.
after that... reboot into recovery locate your zipfile for cm7 and let it install. voila your done
My bad. .504 is with bb 52. Thanks for correction.
@SErooted Be more helpful???? Stfu! I gave the guide for flashtool for noobis and he has to learn and No, he doesnt have recovery, so he need to flash fresh 2.1. Read my friend, don't post unuseful comments!

there was no need to be rude...
also. i saw that you posted link for flashtool.... but if he had recovery which it seemed like he did state in first post. i thought i would make it a little easier on him if that was true.
relax bro.. be happy in life
BTW: your right... i did make comment about links. other than that. i feel my information might be of help to this person either way.
Hey guys, my eng is fine.
Regarding CM7,
it doesnt seem to have any signal or phoning abilities
no mac, or bluetooth address or anything.
:/
SOmetimes with random reboots.
EDIT:
I have all basic copies of roms and i have access to recovery, SO I AM NOT A NOOBIE THANKU!
I appreciated your correction about the firm. Thats alright. In his second post, he said that he got only a backup from TB, not from xrec. That's why I told him to flash new 2.1.
The way you are explaining the other things is even harder for me to understand what you are trying to say. (And beleave me I understand allot of Android and X10) So for him maybe will be harder to understand about all that zips and stuff.
Me not trying to be rude neither. Lets see if we helped the guy or we got him confused

OK, you've flashed CM7 over bb 52 right? The one provided by J in his package?
i suppose your right... there are some things i read that seem more difficult than they are and i also have read things that seem easy and are hard as hell.
Jinglejo... to you iwasnt trying to be rude when i commented on your english
G-face... wasnt trying to be rude to you either with same comment
Jinglejo, good to know that your not a noob. might be a little easier to help you out beings it looks like you know whats up with your x10...
if i was to break it down in steps 1234....
1. Recovery works.... thats good
2. unrar the cwm file that you downloaded.
the tft files for bb .52 are included
3. take that file and drop it into firmware
4. open flashtool and click on advanced.... scroll down to bundle creation...
locate the file... is should read x10_52_changebaseband
5.once selected. a new window wil pop up. the files will be in .sin format now....
highlight all and drag to the box on the right.... top three boxes have to be filled in..
6.select ok and wait for files to be ready.
7. when done. click on flash...select firmware .52... hit ok..... wait till you are prompted to connect in flash mod... then connect and wait.
8. when done, reboot and wait for signal to appear..
9. once you have signal, reboot into recovery.
10. clear dalvik-cache, battery stats.
11. install your cm7 from J.
12. let us now if any of this works for you.
Im not confused, its just it says the baseband is unknown
So do i flash in the baseband 52?
J only gave us this bunch of .sin files and
Rendeiro gave a broken link to baseband 52.ftf that does not download properly.
Can you find me a link for it or tell me how to bunch up these .sin files to form a .ftf file?

yes flash in the bb .52.
locate the .sin files from where you have them stored and go to advanced and do bundle creation.
i was being stupid when i said it was in tft format ( my apologies) they are in .sin
once you have done a bundle creation it turns it into a tft then when you choose the file from flashtool. it shows them again as .sin
flash this and you should be good to go with radio
Disregard the other comment,
the mod doesnt seem to go off aeroplane mode, how can i turn it off?

im not sure if that rom coms with devtools installed or not...
however if it does... open it up go to bad behavior. and click on crash system server...
if not... you may have to go with G's option and start fresh with a new install..
in that case if you have to do that... right after flashing the 435 firmware... root it, install recovery, power down... flash bb 52 then install the rom.
after that it should work fine without problems

@Above: Yeh i only just noticed.
@Above's above (SErooted)
The 2.3 ROM reboots quite often when im fiddling with it.
It does come with dev tools.
fiddled with it, aeroplane mode prob is fixed
apparently, the rebooting is kernel related.

[Q] Have I chrashed my x10 mini pro (u20i)?

I tried to flash a new kernel from Flashtool.
First time i did that i went perfect!
I wanted to try another ROM which needed another kernel, and now i'm not able to do anything!

Can anyone help? or do I have to buy a new cellphone
Sorry for my poor english!
What happened when you tried SEUS?
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
SEUS tells me that the cellphone has the newest software.
When I start the cellphone it never goes further than to the "Sony Ericsson" startscreen. When i try to enter CW recovery it gives me a strange looking screen with green colors. How can I restore CW recovery and how can I install a kernel again?
Try flash stock rom by Seus, you can do it even if SEUS show you that you already have the newest software, and than root, install recovery, instal GB rom and than flash kernel
And remember to unlock bootloader before flash kernel!
Which kernels and rom did u flashed?

hi, i was flashing the same kernel onto my sisters x10 mini pro and when i went to flash i got the error before it allowed me to flash the kernel, i used PC companion to repair, located in the software update section once i did that, i just unlocked the bootloader and root. hope this helps you.
I have triede with pc companion, it will not let me update, and it is not possible for me to put the phone into USB debugging, because the phone do not startup. I realy hoped that someone other than me has had this error before. But when I google the error, it doesn't come up with much.

Hello, I just recovered a friend's phone from this problem. Nothing worked before but I found the solution, at least for me.
First I want to tell what I tried:
Flashing with PC Suite
Flashing with PC Companion
Flashing with FlashTool
Flashing with SETool Box 2
Nothing worked. Mainly because the dumbass of my friend tried to update latest version while it failed (don't know if battery problem, cable or whatever).
The problem is that it just hanged in "Sony Ericsson" screen and not recovery possible.
And when flashing I got:
ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
=== Now how I solved it ===
What I did is download the u20i1.6 binary fron XDA developers. It said it's a zip but it's just a RAR.
I had to uncompress it in a folder. And create a bundle with FlashTool with those files. I will try to upload this.
Then I flashed it. It worked without the error.
-------------------
- At the time of writing this. I upgraded the phone with the PC Companion but
- after updating the phone just got hanged again. It just flash red light when
- swithing on. I don't know why. Have to see.
- Update: Was not hanged I just had to force off (long press on the power button) and then on. The PC Companion finished updating.
- Update: Flashed last version and now SETool Box2 is not able to unlock. Better to stay on 2.X.

Accidentally bricked my U20a

So... I realize there's multiple threads of people asking help on unbricking in general, but I accidentally re-locked the bootloader before flashing a stock kernel.
... Is this phone now a lost cause?

Repair it with PC Companion or SEUS.
And why did you relock the bootloader???

It keeps giving me a "no software is available for your phone" message.
I meant to flash the stock kernel on it, but, for some reason, I brain farted and accidentally locked the bootloader.

If you're on gingerbread or lower than you should be able to unlock it again with flashtool, as far as i'm aware. Try a stock firmware flashable with flashtool, there should be some available in the x10mini pro development section of this forum.

I can't even get Flashtool to recognize it, though; it was on MiniCM10 and nAa's kernel before the accident. I have the stock ROM and kernel ready, I just.... did the wrong step first on accident.

You don't need to have it recognised in order to flash it... just put it in flashmode...

It doesn't work; I can't even get to the bootloader unlock opinion. The "Plugins" drop-down menu is empty and fastboot gives me an error message when I try to flash anything.
I guess it's R.I.P for this phone?

I hope you meant to say flashtool, and not fastboot? our phones don't support fastboot. Always choose flashmode...
The Plugins drop-down should be empty because the ROM you're on is unsupported for the unlock-plugin.
However, you should be able to flash the stock kernel, Hold on...
This should be flashable with flashtool. I can't guarantee that it will make your phone work properly, but it will give you back the stock kernel, and possible enable you to unlock your bootloader again, or at least enable you to flash the other firmware you had lying around...

ohmygodiloveyousomuchrightnow. Thanks so much. It can boot up now, but nothing responds after it boots into the lock screen. Beats the phone being completely bricked, though.

The same thing happened to my xperia mini pro (U20a) when trying to update through SEUS and the software in the pc (PC companion) crashed by performing an illegal operation(Now it is no longer recognized by seus). This result my phone turning into a brick with only a big triangle with ! mark and a phone's picture was displayed on the screen when it turned on. I have never rooted the phone or installed Xrecovery/busybox (learned about them from this forum threads only). So I was anxiously following this thread and installed Flashtool and downloaded the ftf file (220MB) specified in this thread. Then voila, the flash was successful with this and the phone switched on. Now the second level of problem starts. None of the keys ( even the power key) or touch screen responds once the phone boots up.However the SIM is responding to the incoming calls (although cannot receive them as the touch screen is not operational). The battery is 100% charged and sim signal is 100% with sd card successfully mounted . Every time I need to remove the battery to switch it off. The display is now showing current date time (in a blue background) and a lock(left) and speaker (right) icons. Everything is stalled here. Downloaded two more firmwares and bundled them(sin files) in flash tool, but none worked except this fft file.
Please help
PS I have attached the flash tool log file for this flash.
To both of you: Try Repair with PC Companion.
1. Leave the phone unplugged
2. Start PC Companion
3. Choose Support Zone
4. Choose Update
5. It can find no update because your phone is unplugged
6. Click the Repair-link it shows
7. Follow the instructions from there on.
Hope that works, if not: Download this and flash with flashtool.
Thanx for the quick reply.
I have started the pc companion and go to the repair option. However after selecting the model from the list, it started updating. Then BANG!! Again the program performed an illegal operation and shutdown by the window XP.. The entire PC screen hanged and I had to manually kill it by pressing ALT+Ctrl+Del . So it seems this method will not work in my laptop.
Downloading your FTF file and trying it in flash tool. Hope it will work.:crying:
PS: your link is now pointing to the zip file and I have tried the UK version of that already ( by building the ftf from sin files in flash tool) with no improvement. Can you give a ftf file directly like the last one ? Thanx in advance.

No need to make it yourself, just rename the zip-file you download to .ftf and flash it.

Renamed the file from zip to ftf and put it inside the firmwares folder under flash tool. But during firmware selection while flashing, it is not showing anything ( only your earlier ftf file is visible). Am I doing something wrong?

Did you remove the other one you flashed earlier?
Not sure what's going wrong there, it should show up...
You did restart flashtool?
If you are still there
I removed and reinstalled the flash tool. Followed the procedure discussed so far. Still it is not showing in the list.Screen shot attached. The U20 option which is showing is for your earlier ftf file (kernel_locked) and not the renamed one (however if I bundle the sin files and create the ftf by specifying build number, version etc..) it is showing. However , flushing with that made no improvement. It took sometime to respond as I was trying these.

How are you trying to get into recovery?
What does the LED do while you boot the ZU?
I would just flash jackie099's kernel and restore the backup from there - I cant see how flashtool would be failing except for a problem on the PC

yes master...
i cant get into recovery, i used to get no problem at all flashing kernels or down/upgrading ftf to it...
but right now i'm stuck with this kernel wich theres no recovery at all, no light no recovery...:crying:
i've tried to reflash kernels many times but failed...
the worse part that i got is that it has no signal at all...:crying:
if i flash it with any new ftf (down/upgrade), the kernel should be replace by the list on ftf package right...
but not mine...
Stucks... (3.4 bla bla)
how could i recover my ZU if i cant flash the kernel...:crying:

Make sure your phone is turned off.
Start Flashtool and click the lightening bolt at the top left and select 'FASTBOOT MODE'.
You should now see a new window of flashtool titled FASTBOOT TOOLBOX.
Plug in your phone while holding the Volume Up button
Back on flashtool: To the far right where it says 'By DOOMLORD', just below that the second option is 'Select Kernel to Flash', click it.
Browse for the .IMG file that you downloaded from the top of this post(which is the boot file for your phone to boot and let you into recovery).
Change the file type that's listed next to File Name at the bottom of the browse window, to .IMG
Select the .img file and it should flash automatically and tell you to check the log list shown right in flashtool before rebooting. If you don't see any errors then go ahead and unplug your device and boot it and try going into recovery.
You should be good to go now.

I think we need to see a log or screen grab of the output of flashtool when you try and flash a kernel and a FTF
