OR maybe you should read all the instructions first. All these issues have been discussed many, many times. I think a little thank you for the people that get all this work done should be in order rather than complaining.
Anyway, glad you got it to work.
Hello joekhalil89,
Sorry to borrow your post but I think it will be better than opening a new thread.
Here is my problem, I have actually posted it already in the xrecovery thread because it is a problem that happened after using it but I need lot of help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9791618&postcount=504
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9792076&postcount=506
I will pay to whoever solves my issue.
Have you tried running SEUS instead?

Yes I did and it just says that the phone has the newest version and does not give me the option to reflash it.
Give THIS ago instead.

I had same problem. Solved by uninstalling both SEUS and PC Companion then download latest SEUS from SE site. Then I got reflash option.
Thank you XperiaX10iUser, I solved it already with your advise. I actually tried that before I post here the problem but I was in a hurry and didn't realize I was skipping a step. Thanks to the helpful people.
hi guys im new here so hayyy to you all!!
ok i have an x10a 2.1 android im looking to upgrade it to 2.3.5 x10i firmware. the problem i ran into was that there is no "unknown sources" option available in settings--> application. so xrecovery would not install on my phone
i searched more and figured that i need to flash a generic 2.0 firmware and remove at&t firmware. while i tried to do that i got some errors.. here is my error log from flash tools.
thanks a bunch for reading and im sure ill get this solved soon here!!

Until now, i powered my phone (U20) with MiniCM7pro.
Yesterday i wanted to update the phone on MiniCM7-2.2.1 with nAa-11 but i'm not able to install the Kernel.
After two hours i switched back to stock kernel but the problem are still alive.
Now, my mobile runs on stock Kernel (flashed with seus), i rooted the phone with flashtool. Unknown Sources and Debugging are switched on.
When i try to install nAa-11 Flashtool (0.2.8) shows the following Error:

I'm at a loss. What is my mistake?
You didn't unlock your bootloader
I thought root rights and unlocked bootloaders are the same. That makes sense - thank you .... I'll try the same again
Good luck
Hi.
I received an X10 with an old unofficial CM installed (MiniCM7 v15.0), CWM3.
I'm trying to upgrade to the official CM7.1, but I'm having an error.
I found this thread, saying I first need to flash a new kernel:

I'm using Flasher for linux, I've set up udev and all, the phone is detected by Flasher, I get info to reboot the phone holding the back key, but then flash stops:
