hi all of you.
I installed CyanogenMod 7 on my x10mini on this linkhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553
Installation successful,but i prefer Android 2.1 version(my old android) phone.
Can someone tell me how restore to original version.
*I tried using PC Suite,but does not recognize the phone.
i will try to help, dont know if i can
first i belive i dint do a backup whit the recovery before instaling, so that option wont work( would be the easy one)
you can try the Gintonic rom (i`m using it) or other tha has the SE launcher because i found it almost the same as stock but with more funcionalitys(i also prefer the stock desing)
or if you really want to go back to stock here one way i know
considering you havent unlooked the bootloader
the way i did when i wanted to get back to stock was with phone unpluged open pccompanion-> suport zone->update the software--> reapir celphone, and then he will guied you trought the processes
hope this helped
I managed to restore with pc companion/software update/repair phone.
It works great. Tnx rodrigocp .

Hi all, I've got the custom kernal with my cm 6.1.3 by wolfbreak. But how do you remove the custom kernal and back to the original without repairing the phone via Seus.
To get mine back to stock I used TripNKernel_BTS_02.zip (its in the forum somewhere I can't remember) what you need to know that this will remove xRecovery and the root on your phone, so you will need Flashtool or something similar to reinstall those. From there just make sure that you have the right baseband to go with your rom. good luck!

So basically its the same as reflashing the stock rom using pc companion or seus??
Yes, just another method thats all
here's the link, if you didn't find it

My phone is currently on android 1.6 and the pins in the USB port are faulty so basically I can't use the USB connectors. I know that if I have xrecovery, this wont be a problem because I can just flash custom roms using this. However, my phone is rooted but the Xrecovery Installer keeps giving me an error that it cant be installed on this phone. I'm pretty sure its because I am on 1.6 and its only compatible with 2.1 and above so is there a way I could somehow either get xrecovery installer package to install on 1.6 or update my phone from 1.6 to 2.1 without USB or xrecovery? If I can't do any of these things, I luckily have a past xrecovery backup on my sd card which is 2.1 but I can't restore it because I unfortunately dont have xrecovery on the phone. Is there another way I could restore this xrecovery back up data? Thanks in advance. Please reply and answer quickly as I'd like to get this problem sorted as quick as possible. And no trolling. Only reply if you have advice or answers because I dont want this thread to waste anyones time.
If know one can fink of anything, could someone tell me if there is an alternative to xrecovery that I can use to restore the 2.1 xrecovery restore image file?
Hello all!
I couldn't find an answer to this question, so I try to ask here.
I have rooted my Xperia X10 mini pro, installed a recovery and a custom rom.
But I want to go back to the "clean" and unrooted state without any recovery, just like when you get the phone.
Can I just use SEUS to get back there, or will this kill the phone?
Yours Truly
konnichiwa!
SEUS will do the trick, if you haven't used SEUS and don't know how to go back to the original stock just PM me and I'll explain it
Good luck
So I guess you just reinstall the Android OS using SEUS like you would normally reinstall it? YES?
Will SEUS also do the trick with an unlocked bootloader and custom kernel?
(I have display issues and would like to send the phone back to the vendor, so I have to wipe any tracks of what I've done )

Yes, choose the repair option, it will flash the original kernel and firmware, don't forget you still have to manually relock your bootloader (use S1tool restore button).
Thanks, that worked!
After restoring with S1 tool I saw that in the pull down menu on the right side of the window there was "S1" chosen - instead of "X10". Does that matter? Everything was successful, as it seems, though...
Hi Guys, i really need a hand lol!
I regrettably updated the phone to the new Sony Ericsson 2.3 software tonight and ran a back up prior to doing it so I had a collection of everything on the phone just in case something went wrong
I am trying to restore my contacts and data previous to the update but there is no flapping Backup and Restore option on the phone anymore on this new update.
I can see that backup file when i connect the phone to the PC under the data folder, so the information is there. I just need to know an app that i could use to get this running. I have tried one "BackMeUp" but its not finding the file
I cant believe this new software update does not have a backup and restore option in the phone!!!
Am i stuffed here? Isn't 2.3 compatible with 2.1?
What can i do... please help lol
Much appreciated
Try Mybackup. It worked for me

Thanks for your reply Jad
Question... Did you already have MyBackUp installed and ran the backup from this app? Or did you use the SE Backup and Restore app?
The problem i am having is that I have used the SE B&R app prior to the upgrade, so any other app I am trying to use is not picking up where the data is
Nothing guys???
After a bit of reading I think i have succumb to the fact that I need to flash this phone back to 2.1 unless anyoneeeeee knows any different????????? All the apps i have tried have got me nowhere
So i have a few questions before i do this:
- Does the phone need to be rooted before i use flashtool?
- Does it matter which firmware i put on when i flash it? I had a generic X10i 2.1 something (cant remember the build number). Is it safe to assume if I flash it with any 2.1 X10i firmware that the phone will be able to successfully restore?
- is my backup root a phone app or a pc app? I'm presuming a phone app and its a method you guys have used so it should work lol
- any custom roms you suggest for 2.3? I had the phone rooted previously but never got round to changing the rom on it. :/
- Dumb question but does the Backup & Restore function back up my apps aswell? When i restore it, will they appear again?
Please help... definite noob in distress here haha

You don't need to be rooted to use flashtool to flash a firmware.
You can use the backup+restore utility to restore apps in 2.1, then use titanium backup or mybackup to backup everything so you are ready for 2.3.
For a 2.3 custom rom I would recommend you Wolfbreak's rom, it's based on the stock rom with some tweaks which means you get a lightning fast rom with everything working.

Cheers Chris... would it be possible though to find the .apk file for the SE backup and restore and install that on the 2.3 software that is on the phone now without doing the flash back to 2.1. Done some more searching in the thread and noticed a few more people with the same situation
here you go backup and restore for GB! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193802&highlight=backup
Happy restoring
HI, I HAVE JUST GOT INTO THE WORLD OF CUSTOM ROMS AND HAVE HAD A :laugh::fingers-crossed: OR TWO AMONGST THE MOMENTS OF
Anyway my phones rooted bootloader unlocked xrecovery installed .
I AM STILL HAVING TO GO TO SONY PC SUITE.....REPAIR AND RE-INSTALL SE ROM 2.3.3 ,THEN ROOT AND XRECOVERY ALL OVER AGAIN WHEN THINGS DO NOT GO QUITE RIGHT AND A BRICK OCCURS.??
SO AM I MISSING SOMETHING ?
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FROM HERE , ..COZ I AM A BIT MIFFED...
Try to install a stable rom llike Donuhd and then backup your phone via xrecovery. This way you can always go back to a rooted state where every thing is working.
