[Q] Return to Stock, confusion - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, having headphone jack problems so off to a service centre goes my phone. I've not tried for a while but always struggled getting back to stock. Currently on baseband 71, a stock kernel, I think, it says semcuser and 2.6.29-00054g. Running WB6
It should be UK generic, exactly what should I change to get back there?

Use SEUS to go back stock...

I appreciate your response, but if it were that simple I wouldn't be asking. SEUS has always told me I'm on latest firmware

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think a Rogers branded fw for the x10a was ever uploaded to XDA.
Edit: davinciteam should work too -- man it's been a while since I used that... I used to have a w650 a w800 a w850 and a w900 at different points. Haha.
The newest flasher from bin4ry doesn't work with version 1.6 as far as I know, so you'd have to use the old flasher (from those root packages you have) to flash it.
Unless someone can link to the OEM Rogers fw, your best bet is to go for the debranded one you mentioned in your post, with the older flasher from the root packages.
dude, I replaced mine, sent it back with generic 026, Rogers didn't say a word, I wouldn't stress about it.

Make sure you have download the WWE_R1FA014 for X10a from post # 2 in the following link, and flash it to your x10a with flash tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793
Once that done, connect your x10a with SEUS and perform an update. SEUS should update your Rogers X10a to the latest Roger's firmware version.

Oh thats a good point too. I forgot about that. Evil evil SEUS.
I'm in a similar situation here, my USB connector broke and i need to send it back in. I'm on build 023 and i've also rooted my phone too, i know that voids the warranty for sure. What do you think?
which flash tool and firmware files needed to restore photo to original x10a rogers 1.6 from nordic 2.1 x10i ?
didn't like 2.1 so want to restore my rogers x10a, anyway ?

Can't call/text

Hi all,
I am in need of help in order to get my phones main function back up and running. I've tried a 2.1 rom and just installed 2.3.2, both have lost me the function of Texting/Calling which is really frustrating as the city my family is in has just had a 6.3 earthquake in Christchurch NZ..
PLEASE HELP ;(

U probably used the wrong baseband.... if u check it will probably say baseball unknown.... but to be sure we need. More info on what u did and how u tried to do it.
In any case u should just flash a 2. 1 firmware with flashtool and if that doesn't fix ur problem then repair with sues.

Thanks man, I used the baseband that came with the 015 of 2.3.2 gingerbread. My phone says X10A, but the drivers X10I.
If I cant get it going soon I will try 2.1
Could the baseband that came the rom be the wrong one? Ive also updated to 016.
thx
To ensure it works first flash your phone to either the 54 or 55 baseband, then flash the Rom.
I am quite sure that flashing a Rom will not change your baseband, so check the start of the Rom thread for which baseband is required to run the Rom.

The phone has .54 baseband. I've tried 2.1_2_1_A_0_435_GLOBAL and that doesn't work either...
What do I need to do exactly to get any rom to work with my network? If someone could take a few minutes to help, It would be greatly appreciated.
well as you need the phone urgently, id connect it to SEUS and repair back to the original SE firmware, that way you should be able to make your calls to NZ, you can then fiddle around with Roms once youve covered your emergency.

I just tried SEUS twice, but it just keeps coming up with the last installed rom I tried.. This is all very confusing..
If my phone is x10a does that mean I can only rom a x10a and get service in my country?

[Q] Xperia 2.1 upgrade...need help

Hi
A newbie could use some serious help. I have an Xperia X10 2010 model that came up with Android 1.6 which I upgraded to 2.1 last year.
Contract over, got it network unlocked. Now, I was able to remove all gmail acounts except for the one associated with Android. Since I need to pass on this phone to family, I need to get rid of that main account.
If Restoring Factory Settings is an option, I can't use it since it'll throw me back to Android 1.6 and checking for an available android update needs a network to be active.
So here I am, want to remove that one bloody account. And upgrade the device to a faster Android version (2.1 is outdated, slow and sucks big time).
I'd be really thankful to get any kind of hel on this one.
Best
SM
Go to the sony mobile website, download the update centre software and install it, after that plug in your phone and follow the on screen instructions.
could you just use flashtool to flash the generic stock 2.3.3 or 2.1 ROM.
that'll quickly fix your problem
or download over wifi?

That's gonna download the latest OFFICIAL version available with Sony for the phone, which, as a matter of fact, is 2.1.
How to remove the associated account first of all?

So the Falshtool should remove my associated account? And since I have 2.1 currently, flashing would persist the version. Android 2.1 and alter, which one is the most stable version for this model?
Thanks for the reply bud!!

A factory reset will not send you back to 1.6 it would factory reset the 2.1. Use this link to get 2.3 and don't this will also remove your google account from the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=

You can just use SEUS , it will update your phone to 2.3.3 directly i guess , i use it when my phone get stuck in logo or something get corrupted
Download SEUS from here : http://sony-ericsson-update-service.en.uptodown.com/
Or from here : http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/

The latest official version is 2.3.3.
U hv unlocked the network. Doesn't mean u don't hv an active network. It means u can use any service provider's sim in ur phone. Also, I don't think a sim needs to be in the phone to update it.
And factory reset will only reset the settings to the ones which are default in current android version. The settings in ur actual settings menu. eg.: ur accounts, ringtone, display brightness, that kinda stuff. No changes are made to the firmware.
Upgrade to 2.3.3 instead btw. Don't bother staying on 2.1.. use sony PC companion. Connect the phone, start PC companion. It'll tell u by itself there's an update available. Follow the steps.. don't setup an account when it switches on after update. Pass it on to ur family

I have done Root access successfully, and my Bootloader still locked, I used this method to root my phone " http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/root-firmware-15-3-1-12-t2591290".

Hello there.
The best way I would recommend is to flash stock firmware.
To flash stock firmware. You will need the following.
A. Flast tool.
B. The firmware you want. (preferably 1.14 firmware)
C. Usb cable.
D. PC.
Follow the steps below.
Download the Flash tool.(links provided).
Download the Firmware, Stock FTF links provided.
Install the Flash tool and the drivers for your device.
Install fastbook and flashboot drivers too.
Click the thunder symbol.
Choose Flash mode.
Browse to choose the firmware you downloaded.
Power off your phone and connect your phone to the computer via USB while holding the power down button.
The phone will be flashed.
Once it is done, You will have your phone in factory settings.
Feel free to customize it.

Thanks mate
Now there is two other things:
1- I had already downloaded the 15.3.A.1.17 firmware ftf, I afraid to be not the original one, and someone had edited it, how could I now that this firmware is the original one from Sony??
2- If it is the original firmware, then, once I flashed it with the flashtool, my phone will return to be unrooted and I'll receive the OTA updates normally as any unrooted phone?
Thanks for your effort bro.
Sent from my C2105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You will get OTA updates. Even with the 1.14 version. That version is not modified or anything. All FTFs are original ones. And All receive OTA updates as it will if it was never rooted. Unless you have an unlocked bootloader. Incase you have an unlocked bootloader, you have to lock your bootloader to get OTA updates.
Hit the thanks button if i have helped you.
Ok, thanks bro. for your help

Feel free to ask me for any help you need. Even if you plan on upgrading your phone to KitKat viz the so many ROMs we have for our phone!
Another Question
I had read many people threads that they flashed firmwares but they had an issue, that the region is not true, like Hong kong or UK.
How could I know that this region is mine, and how can I check the region area on my phone ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is that possible to return to the stock state by using Sony PC Companion directly without any flashing or anything that the luck is playing a big role ??
There wont be any problem. I personally have never had any problems. Even though i have done this for years!

Where do you live? Check the firmware list to see if there is any firmware for your region. If not, download the world firmware
I live in India. So i download the Indian firmware. Well, I use the world firmware though
