agreed, have done a downgrade myself tonight and it worked no problem
Do the steps from the flashtool guide work in 2.3.3? Or is something else needed?
I did a backup with backup and restore and didn't know that it no longer works on gingerbread (damn SE that doesn't tell that on pc companion or seus)
I Can not Downgrade with flashtool
In middle of progress say : " aborted "
I stuck on flashing loader for about 10 minute then aborded
Yes, it's possible to downgrade from 2.3.3. to 2.1. I do it maybe 6-7 times in the last 24 hours without problems with flashtool 0.2.9.1. Try to change the USB port on your computer, remove the battery of your phone, llet pass 2-3 minutes put back battery WITHOUT turning on the phone and follow the instruction of flashtool.

Yes.
You can flash any firmware onto any phone.
If you get an error/abort, just do it again.
Or try FlashTool 0.2.8 (I have issues with 0.2.9).

it says im still on the 1.6 firmware. is that right?
If you were originally on 1.6 firmware, then yes it is right. Rooting is a completely different process from firmware update.
WTF
i did the idiot proof root for my x10 and it went through everything but it's still not rooted. WTF am i doing wrong? HELP
is there a way i can just upgrade my firmware since my phone's rooted?
Just look around the dev section there are plenty of techniques to change and upgrade the firmware... and plenty of guides to go along with them.... you cant currently upgrade to 2.2 but you can do 2.1 easily
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
thank you!!
Well for a start off 2.1 i believe has rolled out everywhere now so even if you look around the dev section you aint getting anywhere without wacking in ya usb cable to ya pc and connected to the phone ofcourse. Install PC Companion which should launch off of your sd card once mounted.
Once thats installed it will say an upgrade is available.
update via pc companion to 2.1
and if root is what your after not just 2.1 update then theres a thread called one click root, its an app for your device called z4root.apk
install that on ya x10 and your rooted with 2.1 my friend
my phone got bricked when i try to JiT my phone..
when i want reinstall with seus, they say my phone already up to date...
so, i think i must downgrade first to get reinstall again...
anybody can give me tutodial about this?
With SEUS you can reinstall current version. No need to downgrade. Look carefully on the screen when It tells you that you have the latest version.
hey guys, im using:

root guide to try and root my x10 2.3.3.
i followed the instructions to the letter. but at steps 8/9, they never seem to work. i never seem to be able to get a response in flashtool. and before you ask, yes i have enabled debugging and unknown sources. i have tried everything, this root will not work. i got the root working on 2.1 but the instruction video from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8Jfx...feature=relmfu (originally on xda-dev) and it worked on 2.1, then updated official, and it wont work. whenever i reboot the device and plug in the cable, it never works. i dont know what more to do. do i just go back to 2.1 and putting a rom on? thanks
I know. Just try again. I never rooted in first go. Start from step1 again.
thanks, tried about 30 times now. will keep going.

Make sure you have closed all other adb programs like pccompanion and SEUS as they will interfere with flashtool.
Or here is another easy method.
Update to latest 2.3.3 official rom via pccompanion.
Download and install latest flashtool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Attach phone.
wait for flashtool to recognise phone.
click the root button (The padlock) Follow instruction.
When finished, start again but this time click the key, then the grey square with the cross in it
this will root then install xrecovery for you
thanks mr. bradley, i will try this when i get home later.
hey guys, i am using feralab v20 with unlocked bootloader and ferakernel.
if i use seus and do update to 2.3.3 stock (without relocking bootloader), will i lose my ferakernel and recovery? can i still boot up?
i don't think SEUS can even do an update. SEUS won't be able to read software from your phone (Feralab version). thus, it will just prompt you that your phone doesn't need an update.

but, you can still force an update via seus. what will happen then? any idea? pls help
Look. You can flash your phone with SEUS, ofcourse...You don't have to relock bootloader. I can't remember if you will loose Ferakernel, because I did it couple months ago... But if you loose it, you can always flash your kernel again with flastool, and have stock Rom with a kernel and Xrecovery. You must flash kernel for stock rom, so check if Ferakernel is for Stock roms. Also you may try Doomkernel v6 1113 for UB with bootmanager v2.0. If your phone become unrooted you will always be able to gain ROOT with Doom's easy root method.
So, don't be afraid to flash your phone with SEUS, I did it couple of times...

Hi all,
I am currently using a ICS based custom rom on my LWW and the battery drain is driving me insane.
I'm hoping that I can simply install GB (with root access) then begin to uninstall all the unnecessary programs accordingly.
My question is what is the simplest method in doing this? I thought about installing 4.0.2.A.0.62 version but I don't know how to gain root access in this (.58 is easy to get root access on). In searching for solutions, people on this forum agree that a person should flash to .58 then do a OTA update to reach .62. However when i did this (through wotan server) I selected Australia (where i'm from) but was only given the option to upgrade to ICS version, not the .62 GB
I am just wondering what is the simplest way i can get .62 and also get root access?
Regards
Jay
P.S: I'm looking for a simple GB version but all seem to be quite heavily modded (plain .62 GB version with the basics mods ) which seem to have few glitches/bugs
You don't need to purchase the firmware for your region, just use a generic :good:
Search for a .42/.58 firmware, root it and do an ota update (via wifi) to .62
How to root is in my rooting guide!

Hey
Ok, i did get manage to get to .58 and then got a option of upgrading to .62. However my phone stopped working (green blicking every time i tried turning it on). The phone refused to turn on.
I used the 'UnbrokingXperia2011' pack listed on the tutorial to get my phone working.
At the moment it's charging and is on .58. I just received the upgrade message (upgrade to .62) to upgrade. I'm wondering will this do it again?
I read that if I have a unlocked bootloader, it causes issues?
I still have no way to upgrade to .62 with root access

Yes, OTA updates brick the Phone if your bootloader is unlocked.. I came across this yesterday while searching for links for my guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688980 - which you could try.

Hi there,
Thank you, yes on my third attempt i was successful
YAY! .62 with root!
However believing that i should flash custom kernal, i flashed X kernel 2.6.32.59 (flashed wlan fix then kernal) without wiping anything - just went into recovery and flashed it straight. Everything works fine except i can't turn on my wifi :/
I tried replacing it with Rage Kernal 3.0 but it still get an error when i try to turn on wifi.
I'm hoping i don't have to reflash the whole thing
Thank you
Edit:
I cleared Dalv Cache and then flashed the wlan again but i'm still receiving the error. I should of backed up my wlan
Any way to solve this issue?

Flash the Kernel first, reboot to home screen, reboot then flash modules, then reboot again.

Hi there,
Ok
These are the steps i followed:
Flashed the X Kernal via FlashTools
Booted to home
Turned off phone then rebooted into CWM
Flashed the wlanv4 zip
Rebooted home
Tried to turn on wifi but getting the same message, "Error"
So then i did the same thing again but before i flashed the wlanv4 zip, i wiped the Dalv Cache to see if it made a difference. It didn't
Still stuck with the same "Error"
Also tried to flash bbooff;s Kernal through CWM and flashboot.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25499983&postcount=101
but getting the same error
Edit 2:
Ok, i reflashed the whole thing. I'm now stuck again :/
After rooting .58 then using the Xperia-Root option given by puppet13th i keep getting a white blinking light with reboots. It just going round and round.
Argh!
Just need a simple .62 GB for LWW with Root! hehe
Damn i need to ask someone to do it for me. I tried doing it on my own but it didn't work out the way i wanted it to be (reboot loop).
Sigh*
Edit 3:
Is there a place i could request this? A rooted .62 LWW flashable rom? There doesn't seem to be one around on the forums (that i could find).
Regards
When you reflash the stock ROM is it restoring your WiFi?

Hi there,
Yes i am on .58 at the moment. It won't boot to .62 (White LED, continues to blink then phone reboots again) when i tried to follow the steps provided by puppet13th.
I have been looking and trying to figure out a way that i can make a rootable .62 for my LWW
I've zipped it under normal compression with WINRAR. Let's see how it flows ...
Wish me luck :fingers-crossed:
