Are you sure about this? Because I'm using a custom rom and kernel, is it safe?

I doubt that either SEUS or PC Companion will detect the phone on a custom kernal, and I would also say the chance is high of bricking your phone if it did try and update.
Safest way would be reload back to stock kernal and perform a repair in PC Companion update which will load back stock rom. Not sure if you need to relock your bootloader for this to work..
REMEMBER DO NOT RE-LOCK BOOTLOADER ON CUSTOM KERNAL AS THIS WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!

Use SEMC Update, or flashtool. Just search.

Try follow this tut [TUT] un-brick for n00bs.
It takes you step by step (screen shots) all the way from where ever you are to stock ROM.

download original 2.1 from xda and try flashing it using flashtool which you can find in this forum. or connect your phone to your pc or mac and try repairing it through SEUS.

flash it with flash tool
enjoy..........
The reason you didn't had network signal may be that not all roms work with all basebands, so it could have been rom related. Have you also waited till the rom rebooted a few times?
Does anyone have any ideas if SEUS will detect the third party flash and still update to SE's Gingerbread? Just wondering to see if I have to return to deault before going to 2.3 or leave it as is.
As long as you have the correct CDA everything should be fine.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
You just go onto flash mode on SEUS, doesn't matter if your on a custom Rom. I've tried it while on a custom rom and it worked for 2.1 so I see no reason why it shouldn't work for 2.3.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Thanks all!!!
or if you are worried, use flashtool to flash back to 2.1 stock then seus it
Is the CDA hardware or software?

noob question: what's the difference between using flashtools and SEUS, if you are installing a stock 2.1 rom with both?
I believe SEUS can only install your local firmware, but Flashtools lets you choose any firmware you want as long as you downloaded them, right? can't you just use Flashtools and nothing else?
theoretically, yes.
but I feel safer to use the seus instead, it's more like a noob thing since you don't have to compile files.
hope everyone works fine.
i want it now ^^
i have sony ericsson's x10 mini rooted xrecovery installed, unlocked bootloader,custom rom cm7 ginger dx v17.
So my problem is that i had have forgotten to back up my 2.1 update-1 of stock rom and now i want it back.
And after installing these recovery image will i be able to use the SEUS and PC COMPANION for the update/flashing to stock.
And sorry if I mistakenly started this thread as I didn't find any thread or post on this... and bear with my english.....

I don't have xrecovery but cwm with na 11 and minicm7 2.1.9 rom, but I don't think you have any trouble in going back to stock rom, because I did it some time ago, just turning off your phone, opening pc companion in your computer, and selecting repair option... then follow the instructions and you'll have your phone with stock rom and kernel again!! but take into account it will remain rooted and with bootloader unlocked...
good luck!!

Hi!
I flashed my X10a using Feralab rom and DomKernel V6 and everything is ok. However, I have to take my X10 to the repairing center because of an old problem in touchscreen. So, I'd like to know how to flash back my X10 with original Sony Ericsson rom and Sony Ericsson Kernel. Where can I find this rom and kernel?
Thanks!
Go look in flashtool thread you will find out ftf files... Download one for your region.... And flash through flashtool
Sent from my X10
Download the original 2.3 release from SE (or rather only S;-) ) install it through PC companion. It will wipe everything though. If you do a backup of your current rom, you can root your phone when you get it back and restore the backup.

Just use the repair mode in SEUS or PC companion
Ok. Thanks but, will it recovery the original kernel as well? Because I have a backup of the firmware (rom), provided by xRecovery, and when I recovered it, the DomKerel still there..

dont worry kernel will also be stock one
Thanks again, but I tried to use the SEUS and PC Companion. However, both are saying that I've already have the most recent software and I cannot do nothing more. I'm desperate.. I have to leave home and take my X10 tho the repairing center in 1h but I cannot recovery this.. The rom is already recovered, but the kernel no..
What can I do?
Thank you a lot!
try restore mode in it.
If not then there are generic 2.3.3 or 2.1 files in thread flash them through flashtool
kernel are included in them
sorry the only working link I found was for x10i ....

Yeah. Flash this ROM via flashtool and after that You will be able to use SEUS, because it's android 2.1
Thanks for everybody! I downloaded a generic firmware and flashed this using Flashtool. Now, both kernel and rom are in the original SE.
Thank you a lot!
glad to hear
I currently have Paul's Rom Android V 4 and a custom kernel NAA Kernel.
Since it doesn't have camera and other features I have thought of reverting back to the original firmware and kernel..
Can I directly use Sony Erricsson PC Companion to restore everything or do I have to flash the kernel of stock again ?
Please give some vision.

i dont have that rom but minicm7, and i can tell u with this one it was as simple as open the program in pc, select repair and follow the instructions. after that i had my phone with stock kernel and rom again. dont be afraid, if it wasnt possible the program would tell u.
Thanks for your kind reply, I am going to do it but when I connect my Device it says Xperia X10 but not Xperia X10 Mini Pro, previously it used to show Xperia X10 Mini Pro ?? Confusing ? I recently upgraded the SE PC Companion.
That's just showing how much SE. Really don't care for our phones. In flash it should be fine but if your worried download sony ericsson update service instead. Btw when you flash you will have stock rom kernel etc but your bootloader is still unlocked. Just in case you thought that would relock it

Thanks for your kind reply If I keep it unlocked does it affect in any way ? I don't properly understand. I unlocked it for the NAA Kernel.

dont worry!! u can use stock rom and kernel with ur bootloader unlocked... i did it... its only useful to relock in case u have to send it to repair, as it was my case, to repair it with the warranty

for sony ericsson. not the PC companion to revert back. you should use UPDATE SERVICE to restore back to stock condition and redo all the mod again.

i tryed do it, and SEUS says that my device has no atualization and don't restore, so i replaced my build.prop for other from original rom, restarted my device, then SEUS recognized my device and restored for original 2.1 android.
another way is download a firmware and flash it using flash tools~
