If it matters I've got a sony ericsson X10i from AT&T (North America)
already rooted, using a stock 2.1 rom with .54 baseband.
I want to switch over to 2.2 and fully optimize my device.
This is the procedure I believe I need to go through.
Please tell me if I am missing any steps.
1-Use flash tool to install latest baseband (.55 right? I would appreciate a link to this)
2-Reroot?
3-Install Busy Box and SuperUser Access
4-Install Xrecovery using flash tool?? (would appreciate link)
5-Install "TMR_CM_6.1.3_DesireX10"
6-install dual touch
7-install JIT (Is there a guide to do this for 2.2?)
8-install App2sd (Is there a guide to do this for 2.2?)
So am I missing anything?
dont worry bout the baseband all you need to do is root it (if not yet rooted) install xrecovery, move TMR .zip to your sd card open xrecovery on phone back up rom if you want factory reset wide dalvik cache wipe cache and install custom zip then boot thats it.
might want to install gapps afterwards.
if you already have BB .54 it will keep dual touch and jitm busy boxm xrecovery etc are already included in the rom.
i'm not sure bout the app2sd thing
Use recovery to install, don't use flash tool. Most ROM are released for installing via recovery.
6-install dual touch
7-install JIT (Is there a guide to do this for 2.2?)
8-install App2sd (Is there a guide to do this for 2.2?)
All is included in 2.2
There`s a big confusion here.
1. You don`t need to flash with latest .55 baseband unless you want to. You can find baseband HERE;
2. If you already have root and xRecovery, just install your desired rom directly through xRecovery. ROM
3. If you don`t have xRecovery or others go HERE, download Flashtool and install. If you have ANY dough go HERE to see how FT work.
4. You won`t need to install ANYTHING after. All these ROM/MOD came with all that pre-installed (root, xRecovery, JIT, app2sd, dual toutch, blá, blá, blá)
Period!
Don`t confuse the man. Don`t talk about you don`t really know!!!

i think z has released an apk for the xRecovery installer.
all you do is to install the apk, then run it.
you'll find the install xRecovery button in that app.
1. First you need to root your phone. The easiest way is by using Superoneclick:Superoneclick
2. Then you need to install xRecovery because CWM cannot be instaled on Stock Rom( I tried but with no success). You can use this: AIO Automatic Instalation Script
3. After that download this package:cwmr3_xrecinstall and put it into SD card
Boot into xRecovery and instal this custom zip.
This is how i did it and get CWM for STOCK ROM
I can't install(or run) xRecovery on my Stock rom,
The device is already Rooted with SuperOneClick, and have a root file manager, installed busybox, terminal and the AIO script, but isn't work, just install the dualtouch driver, the JIT but it says the xRecovery is installed as well, but when I reboot the phone and try to enter in recovery just turn on normaly.. I don't understand what happen.. any idea??
I did this 4 times this weekend while testing stock ROM again on my Mini Pro:
Root with SuperOneClick.
Busybox from market (with Busybox Installer).
AAIS from [Updated]AIO Automatic Installation Script For X10 Mini/Mini Pro-Firmware 2.1.1.A.0.6
Install XRecovery from AAIS.
Install CyanoComb (the version I still had in SD) that comes with CWM, reboot in CWM.
Install whatever ROM you like using CWM
Hehe you guys must have missed something.. I have done like 4 resetts with seus on 2 days..
Root then aais to install cwm and that worked for me directly.. No probs here..
Have been trying to upgrade my x10i, have been having a problem with getting xrecovery installed as I know it requires it, it came with it installed but with only 2.2 android system installed .
I have managed to install this version X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_1241-1846 ( 233mb odd ), which i got from one of the treads here, installed it to get me out of having a soft bricked phone, so the base band is now .71 while android v is now 2.3.3.
Only real problem is that i cannot seem to install xrecovery, or get into recovery mode. Does anybody have a ftf file that installs xrecovery so that i can then look at installing one of the nice roms on here
does anybody otherwise know how to install xrecovery to a x10 without it already?
I have been looking on here but have had not much luck except from almost knackering my phone, and ending up till about 3.30 in the morning getting it back up and running, so any ideas would be appreciated.
also flashtool doesnt seem to detect the phone, when booting into flash mode except from when flashing a file.
I think that its rooted, via superuser installed, plus have also installed busybox, as i know thats also meant to be installed.
If you put into Google download xreocovery.apk you can install it that way make sure you have busybox installed

Go watch this video!

That is the DooMLord method.
Helped me get my 2.3 phone rooted and put xrecovery.
2.3.3 gingerbread needs to be flashed to a phone that uses root with xrec,superuser,and busybox installed and working before trying to flash.
As far as I know you can't root 2.3.3.
When trying to install xrec what happens, does it ask for supeuser
permission?
If the pc dosent detect the phone u must only have pluged in the phone on usb,sry4my english:d

ok, got this far, managed to get xrecovery 0.3 installed, after getting access to root and busybox installed.
now trying to install the wolf gb 3.5 rom installed it says this error:
installing : sdcard : wolf_gb_2.3_tw_v3.5.zip
finding update package....
e: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcb1k0)
(Device or resource busy)
E: cant mount sdcard:wolf_gb_2.3_tw_v3.5.zip
installation aborted
i then find that the card has has been unmounted, and cannot be remounted unless i reboot, any ideas?
Have also tried to use the restore method for a couple of the roms here that that comes up with error:
e: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcb1k0)
(Device or resource busy)
cant mount /sdcard
Did you backup your rom, system reset, wipe cache, wipe data.
Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHBYJW2verg&feature=feedu_more
edit: You should still have the rom in tact on the phone.
When I say wipe and reset that = format in xrec.
Yep done all that, its xrecovery im having a problem with, i cant figure out how to update, tried copying over to phone with write access, no luck, cant even figure out about the shell as i dont see anything for it, so cant run commands, im really getting naffed off about this now as been spending nite and day trying to figure it out with no luck
You didn't watch the video did you, save you and me some time and watch it!
I need to know a few things.
1. Can you you boot into recovery? 2. do you have a way of copying files to your phone. 3. have you the kernel, Bb, Rom and any tweaks and fixes you want, downloaded. 4. What rom are you running on your phone and does it work. 5. Do you have PC Companion, Update Service, and Flashtool installed on you PC.
Why are you talking about shell, commands, and write access. you don't need any of that.
Settle down... watch the video, it's only 14 mins.
Hi guy. The first thing I want to say is there are two way to root from Android 2.3.3:
- Downgrade to Android 2.1 and root then install custom ROM but it's just an Android 2.1 with Android 2.3.3 baseband and kernel to run with custom ROM.
- Root from Android 2.3.3 and till now just one method is working.
I think that its rooted, via superuser installed, plus have also installed busybox, as i know thats also meant to be installed.

Click to collapse
You did the wrong way.
This is root method and install xRecovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196808&page=1
And I will say that the BusyBox installer will not help you to install xRecovery. It will not work. So, you have to do like that method and watch video if you want.
i tried to install xRecovery but i couldn't for some reason on my phone even though i transferred all the files to system bin and gave all the permissions to all of them... my phone is rooted.
so now i am trying to flash it with the flashtool but i think that i need firmware but i dont know what firmware i need? also the flashtool recognize my phone but it doens't get root access...
please help me!
To avoid problems, restore your phone using Sony Ericsson Pc Companion to the latest firmware. Root your phone again. Install rootexplorer and allow there r/w permissions in /system. Then install xrecovery using xrecovery.apk(google it).
i could not find how to restore my phone using the pc companion. but i did restore it through the phone itself. i am on the latest firmware. after i restored it, it was still rooted... but i installed the xRecovery anyway and then i gave the permissions and it still doesn't work
I rooted my att x10a phone but cannot add CWM. I've tried several programs. Some programs said CWM installed but it doesn't do anything when press the back button several times.
Can someone help me find the correct way to install CWM for my X10a?
I've also tried xparts and xrecovery and those don't work either. help?
