I Just Want To Update My Phone..
Need help..
What to do and how to do..??

Download & install flashtool here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
Download a generic 2.3 build here (& put it in the firmware folder): http://www.multiupload.com/JEXUAHAZTL
Open flashtool, click on the flash icon , choose flashmode, select firmware & flash

Post number 2 is the correct device, apart from you will also need to
0. Make sure unknown sources and usb debugging are allowed in
/settings/applications
and
/settings/application/development
1. click on the padlock icon to root.
2. click on the key icon to ask root permissions, allow permissions on the phone.
3. then flash the rom.

thnx but 1 question....!

What do you mean by "proper way"? Is it an official way to do it? No. Flashtool method is essentially another pc companion. It does everything pc companion can do and more. The only reason you have/need pc companion is to recognize the phone. That is it. The only problem you will have is a chronic headache from all the lag the stock 2.3.3 FW gives. Remedy that by rooting and installing a custom/complete ROM.
Rooting the X10 device is not necessary, but I highly recommend you do buddy. The X10 stock and when stands alone is a terrible device. but when rooted and applied with a custom ROM, the X10 lives up to many other devices that shouldn't be compared to. Technically, Rooting is not an upgrade. But if we look at the benefits of rooting, well thats a completely different story.
If you have any questions just ask. If I helped, Thanks button is always there bud

This is also my problem. I cant update my x10 to gingerbread. What generic 2.3 build shoud i download? and what is that complete rom?

Better Install a Custom ROM.. eaiser.. Faster.. loads of options
try MIUI... my personal Fav.. or u can use the Team Rom transparent.

[Q] my xperia 10 restarts

my xperia 10 restarts again and again during the day for no reason i have recently updated my phone to android 2.1 and since then having this problem...when i update the phone through pc compinion or pc sony ericson udpate it gives error "unable to install or start software update components" plz help me out i love this phone
Might need a warranty repair. Mine did when my phone kept restarting. Think they replaced the motherboard.
Have u tried flashtool from the x10 development section yet? And flash the latest firmware and baseband. If u havent and want to try it, post again i will try to help
Try this first before warranty repair. It will save u money if this works
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.2.1 CM Rom from Rendeiro2005
I'm having the same problem. I believe is something with the sd card. If I use the phone to dial or surf the web there's no problem, but if I start NDrive, or any game that's installed on the sd card, then the phone reboots
can u plz copy paste the specific link of installing flashtool and firmware.
and how to install them step by step thanx alot for your suggestions plz reply

Those aren't methods, those are frontend for the rooting exploits, such as rageagainstthecage, GingerBreak, psneuter, etc.

Every time I flash the cell just powers on then nothing, Ive left it for upwards of 2hrs with nothing. When I update to 2.3 it hangs in a boot loop at the SE logo.
as chris sed, flash tool should work in all circumstances. jus a few questions, when u used flashtool did it succesfully flash with no errors, did u make sure u had enuff battery to flash (50% is recommended). if u had no errors with flashtool and u had enuff battery than i cant see y not it hasnt worked.

I have to say that is pretty weird and i have never in my life come across it, ok give this a go. Flash a 2.1 Rom make sure that the particular rom can be upgraded to 2.3.3 thru seus or pc companion, id give u a link buh where i usually wud get that from is arkedk post in android development and theyve been deleted. so flash the 2.1 rom, then upgrade to official 2.3.3 using seus or pc companion. see how it goes, dnt know wot else to recommend really.
tried that, and even updated from 1.6 to 2.1 via pc companion and still nothing.
I HATE this phone!!!! thank god for my HD2
something somewhere in the process of wot u have been doing has gone wrong or there is a hard fault somewhere. sorry to hear uve had such a bad xperince with this phone, if uve got warranty send it off, thats all i can think of, or sell it on ebay. sorry i cudnt help u further, best of luck mate.

You can't run a gingerbread rom with the stock kernel! Thats why you stick on the stock kernel logo (sony ericcson). Read the first post of the rom you flashed carefully. Isn't there something like you need costum kernel, unlock bootloader first...
What Rom did you Flash?
I hope you did a Backup in recovery ?
Did you follow the install instructions? Full wipe... Tell us a bit more, so we ca help you

SEUS is the Sony Ericsson Update Service. As the name says, it updates your phone and repairs if necessary.
If you are trying to flash a new ROM, you have to unlock bootloader first, install custom kernel and then flash the new ROM. Look for the tutorials, they should help.

You need to unlock the Bootloader. Then you can flash a Costum Kernel. Use The flashtool, it's a Genius "one big Button Tool" from Bin4ry and Androxyde Thank and Donate to them. Read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10881307. Its a "How to Guide". The Flashtool you can get here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool I hope this helps. Happy modding

Before flashing a custom kernel, be sure you meet the requirements to do so. I mean, sometimes you need a specific baseband version in order for the kernel to work properly

Hi guys, As you all know ICS is being released, Apparently my SI no. hasn't got the update yet, I really am losing my patience and want to manually update to ICS using the French ST25i firmware.
Now, coming to my question. I want to manually Update my XU ST25i GB to ICS. I want to know how it is to be done, IN A NOOB FRIENDLY WAY .
A step by step method would really help guys. I'm aware that if I update this way, It technically isn't ROOTING.

And one more thing, If I do this, Will I be able to still get official updates from Sony? ( i.e From SUS or PCC ).

Ok guys thanks for your inputs,
Last few questions. :laugh:
1. Which firmware do you suggest I flash? ( The french or Australian) for my XU?
2. After I flash, Will I still be able to receive official updates from Sony?

1 ->i flashed the Australian one....pretty smooth....haven't heard any complains from the ones with french firmware either..i don't think any of them should be a problem!
2-> yes you will be..provided u don't edit the build.prop too much
and yes u need to install the flashtool drivers as well.....sorry i missed that!
