If u reset it by using "FACTORY RESET" option on phone, u will still have the Root rights.
But if u use, SE Update Service and Repair option, u will lose the root rights.
How do i reinstall 2.3 on my device? Like,when my software crashes or hangs i have to run to SE Service Center. There, the
Guys reinstall 2.3 again to bring life to my phone.
How do i do that stuff?
Many users guided me by saying that it can be done through PC Companion. But, PC Companion is used only for UPDATE.(thats the only option visible). I cannot see anything like REPAIR or REINSTALL.
plz assist!

If in PC companion you go into update it will check for updates and should offer a repair button as it will determine no updates needed.

I think that isn't possible.

it never works...
if your phone is rooted you can do it with xrecovery
You can only apply dualtouch with USB or OTA.
It is not possible via xRecovery sorry.

Ota never tells me when an update is available but when I plug it into seus then low and behold an update exists! Still on stock android but rooted until a stable 2.2 or even 2.3 becomes available with everything working.e.g camera and camcorder.thanks for all the help.looks like an ebay order for a data cable is needed.

Hey guys,
Just woke up and my X10 had an update notification.
Does someone know what it is?
I'm on 2.1.B.0.1 with bb .52.
Could it be 2.3.3?
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Probably not because 2.3.3 was said to be through pb companion not OTA
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
It said I should use my computer to update...
But SE didn't post something about an update and I don't want to lose my mods.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
rest assured- no updates yet. as soon as read your post plugged my X10 to PC- companion says all's up to date. false alarm then!
Ok
When I try SEUS it will save my IMEI and save that my X10 is modded, right?
Also I've heart that SEUS will just update my bb when it's old.
Just posted the thread because it's the first update notification and thought it'd be the 2.3.3 update we're all waiting for.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
if u have a rooted and modded phone, u won't be able to get the update. the only way for u to get the original SE update to 2.3.3 will be to plug the phone in to PC once the update is out, and choose the option "repair"- it will actually whipe your whole phone (including the system partition as well) and put the newest system available in- therefore, all user data is lost.
I know, I'll just flash it to stock with FlashTool then.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
and yes, the system will be delivered with automatic update of baseband too, so no worries here.
flashtool or not- u'd have to go back to unmodified, unrooted stock- recently SE stopped the support for rooted phones (which I find kind of a stepback).
Uh, you know that you can make a backup via xrecovery right? Everything will be backup including your bb if I'm not mistaken.

i cant wait for andrid 2.3.3 to see if the removed fps

Of course, but updates can be unrootable..
After removing the custom kernel I don't get the message anymore. (I think it was caused by bb .52)

Instead of stock apps you need to use the stock rom from Sony. Try your country and operator specific ROM's from the following link.

Sent from my X10a using XDA Premium App
I'm sorry but why do you need stock apps to update through Sony? It doesn't make sense. What are you trying to do exactly?
I want to update my phone to the latest x10 update, and in order to do that, you need all the original stock apps on your phone like timescape and others which I removed with titanium backup to free up space on m my phone. Somehow, they disappeared from my list of backed up apps, and without those you cannot update through pc companion. So it's REALLY important. I know someone had a thread posted here before with all the stock apps for download, but I can't find it anywhere... Can someone help pls?

No you don't need any stock apps to do an update.
You need to flash a generic firmware with FlashTool and do it with user data wipe unchecked.
I've never used flashtool before, and I want to stick with the regular pc companion updating. Is this possible?
Sent from my X10a using XDA Premium App
It is possible, PC companion/SEUS would just read your phone.
Because I remember the last time I updated, I tried without reinstalling all the stock apps and it just told me there are no updates available. When I reinstalled them, it updated my phone... Thats why it's really important that I get all those apps back...

Then just flash back to stock and check again.
Anyways, I don't think the SEUS or PC companion recognises your phone by reading the apps in it, instead it should read your firmware number, baseband and kernel version.
In flashing back to stock, wouldn't I lose all my current apps though??
Sent from my X10a using XDA Premium App
Yes, and you still don't need any stock apps to do a flash

But I don't want to lose all my apps... Are you sure I don't need the stock apps to update through pc companion? I wonder why it wouldn't update it for me last time until I reinstalled them all... I also remember someone at xda mentioning that you do need them or sony won't update it...
Sent from my X10a using XDA Premium App
YOU DO NOT NEED STOCK APPS TO UPDATE!!!! Don't you think all of us would be having the same problem as you if that were the case?
You KNOW that even if you flash via PC Companion you will LOSE all your apps and data when you update it right?
Here are your options:
Your phone is rooted right? Download Titanium Backup from the market and backup all your apps. You will have all your apps and data saved. Now update. Once your phone is updated, re-root your phone. Download Titanium Backup again from the Market. Restore your apps and data.
An alternative method is in xrecovery. Backup your current rom in Xrecovery. Once done, update it. Once done, root, install xrecovery and advanced restore your data.
If you want to use PC Companion, without connecting your phone, press update and go through the steps manually, i.e. find your phone and so forth and then connect your phone when it asks you to. If it says you have the latest software, press REPAIR. If that doesn't work, just flash via Flashtool!!!!! If you are so hell bent on using PC companion, just repair via PC Companion after you flashed it with Flashtool.
There have been updates via PC Companion (it's up to v2.0 now) and I think it can tell if you customized your phone a la rooting or custom roms.
Ok thanks. Is using seus better than pc companion? I truthfully want to put gingerbread on my phone, but don't know which rom is best for that on xda... Can you help me? Which is most stable? And how long is the process?? Thanks, much appreciated

Instead of asking and writing here, go try it out. It's much simpler than all this back and forth in questions. It's very simple, start SEUS press accept ToU, chose your device (X10) and do a install. And yes you will lose your data when updating or re-flashing your phone.

Adapted from SONY Website reply,
''Update/Repair your phone via PCC
PCC (PC COMPANION) – Repair your software with this .First do the setup without connecting your mobile to pc.(only connect when you are asked to).
Do it as follow >> PCC > SUPPORT ZONE> SOFTWARE UPDATE> REPAIR SOFTWARE
PC Companion: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/pc-companion/ "
If i have not mistaken, you will be given ''Repair Phone'' option in PCC.
Sometimes, SONY server might disconnect once a while. For more: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/36287

Right you think its useless? Or that you cant flash a custom rom with flashtool?
Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app
It's not useless at all, but it's useless here. For a custom Rom you need to unlock boot loader which will definitely void warranty. Be safe man.

download an official jb firmware for your phone! download flashtool! enable usb debugging and connect your phone to the pc! Then choose the file you have downloaded and flash it!
You can also use SUS (Sony Update Service)......BTW did you use pcc to install it or downloaded it OTA.....

Try SUS/PCC like a lot here are saying. Hope your Internet connection is enough. God knows I tried via official methods but ended up downloading a generic ftf and flashing it.

Slight correction needed IMO: You need to unlock your BL only when your CUSTOM ROM needs a CUSTOM KERNEL.
He can try to repair phone with pcc or he can unlock bootloader and install STOCK or Custom Rom, who says that flashtool is only for custom roms , With unlocked boot loader he will void warranty.. yes.. a part that... he can lock the bootloader again..and I have not seen written anywhere in his topic question that he does not want to lose warranty... so mine it was just a suggestion... not an Obligation
Take care friend

anyways. My xperia P hasn't got any official update. and i am also waitng for official update rather than a manual update, I know the flashtool method is not a risky one but still you may get some problems in using jellybean. Becase the generic version and your S.I version would not be the same. my S.I = 1261-4989 ,
I have heard many bugs in jellybean, Album issue, white screen in contact and messaging, blutooth broblem, fast drain battery prob, slow charging, lagging, etc i wants to know, are these bugs are real or just a wrong imagination. Thanks
I havent seen any bugs so far for JB on xGO. And it performs quite nicely without having to edit build.prop or run init.d scripts. I'm using CE ftf.
Let's go, xGO! To the Jelly Cave!
JB stock, locked, and rooted.
