Having a few issues. Yesterday while using the twitter app, my Xperia X10 froze. I waited for like 5 minutes but it was still stuck so i took out the battery and put it back in. I restarted the phone and then my Wifi stopped working. After alot of reboots, wifi started to pick my wifi connection but then it would connect and give me limited connectivity. I did a few more reboots and then i think i went into xrecovery and by mistake recovered my phone to some earlier date which completely messed up my phone. Now i cant access my ROM i can only use xrecovery. If i try to load past the xrecovery, it shows the Sony Ericsson screen and then it goes blank, The notification light shows a white signal and then it restarts.. Then again it shows the SE Screen and again the white notification light and again restart.. this keeps on happening.
Anyway i decided it was time to install a new rom and it would solve my problems.. I put my phone in Xrecovery and tried to mount the SDcard but the memory card just wont show up on my computer for some reason..
Anyway then i took a card reader and put the roms on the root of my card and then put my card back into my phone.. After that i tried to install the custom zip but it gives me the error E: Cant mount /sdcard (device or resource busy)
WTF?
Can someone help me im clueless !!!
Okey i flashed the 2.1 Rom now.. Do i need to root my phone again? Do i need to install xrecovery again? :S
Hi if you flashed the stock 2.1 ROM then yes you will have to root the phone again and install xrecovery. I reckon you should update to 2.3.3 first using either flashtool, PC companion or SEUS which ever you prefer. Then root using flashtool 0.4.2 and install xrecovery using flashtool as well. Good luck hope this helps.
What rom do you use when phone froze? And why you flash first 2,1 rom? You must first flash 2.3, then root, install xrecovery, (unlock bootloaders if you want) and thats all
I was using 2.3.3 Wolfbreak i think ! Not sure.. Updated a 2-3 months back.
I flashed 2.1 because i read somewhere thats what people did when they got the mount sdcard problem in xrecovery.
Sorry if i sound like a noob but whats a bootloader and why would i unlock it?
Anyway im downloading 2.3.3 first and will then install xrecovery. I want to install one of the MIUI ROM's.. Which one should i install? Which one is the most stable and has the most features?
Unlocked bootloaders just allows change boot logo I think) And for miui I'd suggest oddie or a1exander roms, they are stable and everthing work
Sorry for bad english
Thanks !!!
Installing 2.3.3 right now. Will let you guys know if there's any problem.. Thanks again
Before you install xrecovery don't forget to root first I would use flashtool 0.4.2 for this check out the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 The bootloader as i understand it is basically the very start of the bootup loads the kernel then the ROM loads. The white Sony Ericsson logo when you fist power on the phone is generated by the bootloader. A couple of reasons to unlock the bootloader are to load custom kernels faster an they are more stable this way instead of the bootloader bypass method. Some ROM's e.g Cyanogenmod need an unlocked bootloader I believe. BEWARE I heard of people bricking there phone during the unlock process i would do plenty of research before unlocking. I would have a read of these threads before unlocking your bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253277&highlight=unlock+bootloader+proper+method . I still have not been game enough to unlock my bootloader yet phone still under warranty thought. Good luck nothing wrong with being a noob we all start some where I am a noob too just with lots of reading and experimentation behind me.
Thanks !
Okey well im going for this:
1. Flash 2.3.3 Rom using flashtool
2. Install xrecovery using flash tool
3. Install Alexander's miui by using custom zip in xrecovery (right?)
That should be it? Do i really need to unlock boot loader? Dont really want to mess anything up
Firts root and then install xrecovery Don't install Alexander miui version 11, wait tomorow. 11v have many bugs:/ Don't afraid nulock bootloaders, just read instructions, not rush and everything be okay
Forry for bad english.
2.3.3 installed.
Trying to root it, But flashtool's root button is greyed out ?
Installl drivers from flashtool folder?
Done but still greyed out.. Also enabled USB debugging and unknown applications in the phone
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196808 read instructions and be happy You must first install kernel I think:/
How do i install kernel ?
You don't need to install a kernel yet you have the stock kernel installed already from the 2.3.3 install. Have you put the phone in flash mode before you try and root it. If not put it in flash mode then try and root. Note the op posted is using the old version of flashtool so it will look a bit different.
In that post all write just read You know how put phone in flash mode?
Nope.. The root option in flashtool is just greyed out no matter if im in flash mode or not.
My kernel is 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 [email protected] #1
Android: 2.3.3
Baseband: 2.1.71
Buildnumber: 3.0.1.G.0.75
I hope i flashed the correct 2.3.3 rom? I had a 2.3.3 rom by the name of x10_2.3_aro.ftf I flashed that.
Don't understand. Just follow intructions in my link. No matter that flashtool version old, it makes their job.
Sorry for bad english.
OK I think you need to go back to basics download Sony PC companion and update or repair your firmware from there that way you know you had the right version of firmware for your phone. Firmware can be carrier dependant. Once this is done then try to root using flashtool

Have an Xperia X10 with Android 2.1. Wanted to root my phone to upgrade to gingerbread. However i admit i got confused with the plethora of links and pages and 6 hours later i have a phone that only has "Sony Ericsson" written on it.
Here's how i started - based on DoomLord's instructions i installed Flashtool (from here) . HOwever I was unable to find xrecovery folders in the log messages.
Followed step by step procedure but realised that each time i upgraded the kernel, phone seemed to be going into some bootloop.
I realised that this may be due to my phone running on Android 2.1
SO i moved to another thread . Downloaded these files with the hope that they would work.
meanwhile was also following video through a similar page that was detailing the methods for installing custom ROMs. The reason i followed another source is only because the intsructions on all these pages seemed very confusing.
i believe i may have misled myself by following two different procedures here or the files i downloaded were incorrect.
After I upgraded the kernel as per doomlord's instructions, i went into xRecovery and formatted the data folders. I had already copied the ROM files provided by Doomlord in this thread onto my SD card under a new folder. However, xRecovery was asking for .Zip files while there were .7z .
Tl;dr - formatted data on xRecovery and did not have the correct updated files. phone is not functioning now
Tragically so, I am now left with an Xperia that only seems to be displaying the words "Sony Ericsson". I wish to learn from this experience but hope its not at the cost of a good phone!
Would the experts believe that this phone can be un-bricked now???
your phone is not bricked so dont worry. just make sure you have the newest flashtool. dont upgrade the kernel if you are staying on 2.1. if youhavent downgaded the kernel then do so. if it doesnt work, just download your baseband and firmware you want. as for rooting on 2.1, you can use super one click. for 2.3, you hav to use the flashtool
If you are on 2.1, then you don't have to go through all the downgrade/upgrade hassel.
Just turn on debugging and use flashtool/superoneclick to root.

Wow... such a relief to know that. Was exasperated and down-beat to even look at my phone.
please help me in identifying the right version of softwares and protocols to follow. In the current state, i connected my phone and flashed it once using flash tool but there has been no progress. Am i missing out a few steps?
How do i upgrade to 2.3 eventually?
Thanks a lot for the support and motivation
ok if you want to go to 2.3 download the firmware from here

Reading this from office now. Shall check in a few hours once i'm back home.
Alright, so I've been working on this issue for about 3 days now. Everytime I think I make headway, nothing seems to come about. I, for all intents and purposes, am completely stuck and need help.
Here are my phone stats
Android 2.3.3, Generic Stock, Unrooted, Locked Bootloader
Sony Ericsson X10i
Baseband 2.1.71
Build Number 3.0.1.G.0.75
Kernel Version [email protected] #1
For my experience, I'm fairly capable around solving problems. I've rooted my phone before, and was running TripNRaver's MIUI for my X10. Worked decent, however I was wanting to upgrade it to a new ROM. Decided to go with A1exander's MIUI. I downloaded all the needed items, unlocked my bootloader without a problem, flashed the ROM via XRecovery, and (like an idiot) put the sim card in backwards. Didn't realize this until AFTER I had tried to change the baseband down to 2.1.54. When it simply froze on the SE screen, I tried to revert it back to 2.1.71. Obviously, this didn't work either, so I reverted it back to Stock 2.1, From there I tried to root it like I did before, however it would not root. I then upgraded it to 2.3.3 to follow the instructions on the new rooting methods. Everything I tried to do, from Flashtool, to SuperOneClick, would not let it root. No SuperUser program was installed. After trying this multiple times, following the instructions to the letter, and watching the videos many times, there was no rooting of this phone by those methods.
Here is the error message I get from Flash Tool
06/032/2011 22:32:20 - ERROR - Cannot identify your device. Found while expecting X10, E10, U20 or E15 (read from ro.product.model from build.prop)
From there, I select "X10" and this shows
06/032/2011 22:32:22 - INFO - Connected device : X10
06/032/2011 22:32:22 - INFO - Installed version of busybox :
Now, even if I install Busybox from the Market, it still shows the same message. So, I go into ADB, pull the build.prop and see what's going on there, this is what it shows.
ro.product.model=X10i
ro.product.model=rachael#
ro.product.brand=Sony-Ericsson#
ro.product.name=rachael#
ro.product.device=rachael
ro.product.board=es209ra
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
ro.product.manufacturer=Sony Ericsson
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=GB
So, I edit the build.prop to reflect X10, however I can't push it back to the system folder, as it tells me it is a read-only folder. Trying to remount in ADB says operation not permitted.
So, that's where I'm at, A stock X10, running 2.3.3, non-rooted, non-unlocked bootloader. I have SuperOneClick, Flash Tool, ADB, SDK Manager, PC Companion.
Please help me figure out what I need to do to get this rooted, and start running A1exander's MIUI. Thanks!
My first suggestion.
Borrow someone elses sim card to see if its that (It probably isnt but good to make sure)
Second.
Have you got the latest flashtool?
Well, I'm certain the SIM card is good. Right now, running on Stock 2.3.3, it runs as good as a stock ROM could be, no issues there. I'll try my wife's SIM and see if that could be it.
[UPDATE] It's not the SIM card, just tried my wife's and the same thing happens.
Second, my Flashtool is 0.2.9.1
Java Ver. 1.6.0_24
OS ver. 6.1
You probably need to reflash an older 2.1 with an older basband and kernel... then start from there by rooting it and installing xrecovery 3...
Its been a while but I recall that 2.3.3 stock was not easily root-able
there was some kind of trick where you use flashtool and install the kernel and/or baseband, then without rebooting, you pull out the batttery to flash a pre-rooted ROM with Xrecovery.
So go back to 2.1 with an appropriately older kernel (.49??? I think) and baseband.
Edit1
Did you try other, newer pre-rooted 2.3 roms like EWJet? I'm using the full hulk version with unlocked bootloader and it's been awesome smooth running at 1.13Ghz. Just make sure you follow the install guide step by step and flash both FTF files with flashtool in step 1.1.
If you don't like EWJet, install MIUI afterwards will be easy too.
I'll definitely give this a shot! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'll let you know how it turns out.
[EDIT 1] One question, I don't have XRecovery, and I can't install XRecovery that I know of without rooting the phone, which I can't do. How can I install a new ROM if I can't install it with XRecovery.

go here and find a 2.1 generic to start off of, I think the files come with a flashtool or you may need to use the new flashtool since you are on 2.3
EDIT1
I looked throught the list on the page linked above, the 2.1 generics are in the second section "all branded kits for X10i). Maybe use file number 8 since I recall Orange UK X10 kits had strange behavior with foreign sims....
Man! I can't thank you enough! I'm back in business now, got the phone rooted, XRecovery installed, and I'm free and clear to getting back to where I want! Looks like my stock 2.1 that I tried to root before wouldn't root through SuperOneClick.
Man, so much easier this time, I appreciate the help and suggestions! Thanks again!
no no no
don't thank me again

Hi everybody and merry christmas!!
So i've a problem with my mini pro sk17. It was unlocked, rooted and with latest firmware 0.58.
I've tried to install hybrid rom v4.5, so for that, i put cwm on my phone. I entered it one time (for installaing the rom) and since, no way to get it back! I 've read the thread about cwm installed, and there is one post wich talk about this issue (missed it of course before flashing!!!!gggrrrrrr): now my phone stay at sony ericsson logo.
Flashtool doesn't work on my pc (java problem, but can't resolve it)
I can put my phone in fastboot mode, but when i try to install another recovery, it says that i'm not root, but yes i am.
Nothing else works. Is there a way to erase completely the phone and push back stock rom or something like that?
Thanks for help.

First of all some questions.
How did you install CWM?
What version of CWM did you run?
Is it nAa's recovery?
I think that your recovery is not able to install custom roms and that it has been deleted during the installation of hybrom.
To install a fully functional CWM and to be able to flash custom roms,you will need to install a custom kernel first, that contains CWM.This can be done only by using fastboot.So you better try and make it work...
Hi, thanks for the reply,
the cwm i've installed was with SE extrem tweak installer found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346190
but i don't know wich version it was.
Yes i've already tried with flasboot, but the problem is that, when i push the kernel, it says that i'm not root!!
Is there a way to get root with fastboot or adb? cause superone cliq or doomlord script root don't work until my phone is not fully started.
I get adb working some times, but i'm not sure i can do something with it.
Bye

If fastboot says that you are not root, then your bootloader is still locked.Unlock your bootloader (visit this page:http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions)
and then flash whatever kernel you want....
Yeahhhhh,
it works!!
Thanks a lot, you're a god for me!!
It is strange cause, it wasn't bootlaoder locked before, so that's why i didn't try to unlock it first. For me it was already unlocked.
So, it's great now i can't do what i want.
HAve a nice day.
Thanks again.

guys i just root my X10 mini and i need upgrading android to 2.3...does need to create ROM or just download android 2.3 file install it???i need your respone and a helping hand...thanks
Please use the search function the next time. For your convenience Click Here
And try this custom ROM for starters. It doesn't require you to unlock boot loader and install a custom kernel.
and when you know how to use the search function then I know for sure you can manage to unlock your boot loader and can flash a custom ROM
lol. they will so kill you for this question. It's forbidden to be a noob in these forums.
Here are the steps you must follow in "search" terms:
1. Root (obviously you already did).
2. Unlock bootloader. (google the hell out of it, search these forums. To install a new rom you need to install a new kernel. For a new kernel you need to unlock the bootloader. Search "How to Unlock the bootloader"). You will need your PC.
3. Flash a new Kernel and Install CWM recovery. Generally just flashing the kernel takes care of the CWM installation. (It's some kind of android bios you must install first thing after having unlocked the bootloader. Check "flashtools" and "how to flash a kernel" guides). You'll need your PC.
4. Flash the ROM. It's the easiest part. It's done by hard reseting the phone. check "How to flash a ROM".
gl dude.
There's nothing wrong with being noobish. Everyone is a noob at some point. This is my first Android anything and I knew absolutely nothing before I came here: "Root? Custom rom? ClockworkMod Recovery? What the hell does any of it mean?!"
But there's a fine line between asking noob questions and asking noob questions without doing any research. But hey..at least the OP was polite.

the line would be drawn like n00b vs n3wbi3. n00b - as what my sig says and n3wbi3 - doesn't ask unless there's a prob or question that needs to be clarified. i was once a n00b but know where to start and that is hitting the start button.

plz sir give me solution plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
as i see you have a simlock first unlock your sim and then unlock bootloader install kernel and then gingerbread

Doing your research... Just about every current iteration of GB-Roms for the X10Mini requires a custom kernel, The installation instructions for the ROM you linked to clearly states to unlock the bootloader and install nAa-08 kernel.
If you want to point people to ROMS that run on stock kernel, stick to froyo/CM6.
plz reply me
plz answer my problem
First of all, you lost your network-capability when you unlocked your bootloader, so i hope you made a backup of your orignal firmware. Restore that and then relock the bootloader, your network capability should hopefully come back
You can't run any Gingerbread roms if you're on the X10Mini with a locked bootloader, you'll have to stick with older Froyo (2.2) Roms, just make sure the ROM you choose does not require a custom kernel. The older ones probably have to be installed with Xrecovery too, instead of CWM, use flashtool to get XRecovery onto your phone.

It isnt SIM lock, it is SEMC SIMLOCK CERTFICATE. Try S1Tool what it says.

No need to shout, not every x10 mini or x10mini pro comes with a semc-simlock certificate, if your phone is simlocked by your provider, s1tool gives you simlock-certificate not recognised.
If you unlock the bootloader on such a phone, it is most likely it will disable your radio-capability.
So everytime someone unlocks their bootloader and gets no service anymore, relocking is the only option, and then sim-unlock their phone using Omnius, or (the safest way) with an EMMA/IMEI code from their network-provider.
After that you can unlock the bootloader safely.
problem occured in upgrading
dear sir i already locked my boot loader. but i cant upgrade firmware or flash through sony companion and SEUS. how can i upgrade or restore my firmware. its shown only "Sony Ericsson" in WHITE LETTERS. plz resolve my problem.
its occured any error in flashing? any different kernal is there?
I am on custom ROM right now, phone is rooted though and just unlocked the bootloader a couple days back. I was wondering, if I flashed the nAa-11 kernel, will I still be able to use stock ROM on it until I install some GB ROM? Or do I have to flash the GB ROM right after flashing the nAa-11 kernel for the phone to work?
Just for the record, I like doing one thing at a time then checking if phone is fully stable before moving to the next step... Makes me TOO nervous
The ROM's are all compiled against a particular kernel, so stock rom won't work on the nAa-kernel, and most GB-roms won't work on the stock kernel.
You want to flash the nAa-11 kernel, do a reboot, and press the back-button several times until you get into CWM That's as sure as you can be that everything is stable at that point.
Then you can do the usual steps for installing the ROM, (Wipe data, cache, etc., install from sd-card)
If you forgot to put the ROM on your sd-card you can connect your phone through CWM in the mounts and storage section, mount usb-storage) and then copy the ROM to your phone.
Hello,
I flashed the most recent MiniCM9-3.0.2 ROM with nAa ICS kernel and followed all steps carefully. Everything works except i get no service. I can find the service network (vodafone) but i cannot connect to it. I've tried to go back to stock kernel and miniCMPro 21 and i get no service as well. Any help?
Thanks
nvm... I figured it was a bootloader-issue, but i guess since you can still find the network your gsm is still working.
In any case, you're on stock rom, try relocking your bootloader and see if you can connect to the network then (Restore-button in S1-Tool)
Hi,
I'll try to restore and see if it works.
Thanks for the help.
Hi,
I restored and reinstalled CM9 and now everything is working! Thanks
i am in exactly the same boat, just flashed same rom and same kernal and now no service, i also was under the impression if i unlocked the bootloader it unlocked phone to all networks but my virgin sim would not work either, the phone was originally on orange and my orange sim worked before i done this, what do i need to do guys just flash back stock rom, if so where can i find this, thanks!
You need to use PC Companion or SEUS from Sony Ericsson to repair your phone, and then relock your bootloader with the Restore-button in S1Tool.
There is a big difference between sim-unlocking your phone, and boot-unlocking your phone.
The first one will allow you to go on other networks, the second one will allow you to flash a custom kernel.
If you want to unlock your bootloader, follow the tutorial and make sure your simlock-certificate is compatible, otherwise, obtain an EMMA/IMEI code from your provider to get your phone on other networks. In that case you can unlock your bootloader too.
There are plenty of warnings in the bootloader-unlock tutorial to prevent you from bricking your phone, if you don't understand the options that are there, don't mess with your phone.
iv tried using the repair function of pc companion but it just says no updates available for this phone, and i cant seem to find SEUS can anyone point me in the right direction please.
think i made a mistake last night though while messing, i locked the bootloader back up, had the capital R where needed, but i had a custom rom but i had flashed back the stock kernel by mistake, now the phone sits with sony ericsson on screen and doesnt do anything else, been that way for hours now, any help really appreciated!
Hi
I had the same problem. The easy way is to put the phone back to stck and start all over again. You can find SEUS here (search on google)
update_service_setup-2.11.4.11.exe
After install it just follow the instructions. When it says no update was found just click next anyway. it will restore the phone. And then start from that point:
unlock bootloader, flash kernel and install new Rom imediatly after flash kernel. DONT LET YOU PHONE START WIHT OTHER ROM OTHERWISE IT WILL GET THE SMA PROBLEM! Put the ROM file in the SD card and after install new kernel go imediatley to CWM and install the ROM.
It should work!
cheers mate iv just downloaded it and run it, this is all that happens once i restart in flashmode, any ideas
Go to the Development section for your phone in this forum and try to find a ROM that is based on the stock rom (I think you should still be able to nstall xRecovery on your phone and enter it), then flash it just like you would other custom roms.
how can i go about installing xrecovery mate as i cant access phone the way it is, i can get it into flashmode, using the power and home button then using back quickly after i restart, iv tried flashing a custom kernel back onto it too from flashtool but it gives an error and doesnt do anything, if only i could get that kernel back on at least just to get it out of the freezing!
Open flashtool and connect your turned-on phone through usb, if it says phone connected with usb-debugging, you can use flashtool to install xrecovery and reboot into that.
