[Q]reverting to stock rom - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi folks, im really new with android phones and i recently purchased a used x10i running on a 2.3.5 gb with a custom rom (MUIU -1.10.14_Cobrato) kernel 2.6.29.
the phone is working just fine but its cluttered with the previous owners apps and the 8gb micro sd card is full of his stuff.
Can i use pc companion to revert it back to stock rom (with SE launcher with timescape and mediascape) or do i need to use flashtool and a certain firmware?
any help would highly be appreciated. Thank you in advance

Yes you can use pcc to get back to stock rom. U might as well format your sd card to completely remove all data as using pcc wont.

Yes this is true. Formate the SD card in settings/storage/erase Sd card. I'd prefer flashing because some files on the sd you need(folders). UP TO YOU THO

Only ,49 baseband is supported mate. Repair your phone via seus and then flash in the required baseband. Also read the first posts containing instructions to install the ROM a bit more carefully in the future. It saves your time by avoiding such errors to happen.
Cheers!

Buddy, did u upgrade the firmware before installing gingerbread? The issue generally happens when you dont have the required baseband.
I have been using it for over 2 weeks and it seems fine, you cannot mount the SD card by default, you need to use the program automount, auto mount did not work for me in v12, but in v13 it worked fine.
Considering you installed gingerbread you ought to have xrecovery, boot into it and go to partition tools and select auto mount and you will be able to use the SD on ur PC.
Click on thanks if i was of any use to you.

ROM Usage!

Hi Friends,
I have flashed many ROMS till now and im currently using CM V.6.
Its a very pretty good rom but i like the camera functionality in the stock 2.1 ROM.
I feel like reverting back to it but i play a lots of games and stuff and install many apps which is impossible to move in stock 2.1 to SD card.
I tried using link2sd and app2sd but i didnt get them right...everytime i try to configure,they give me error that my mmc is not partioned properly.
Pls post me a guide to properly partition my mmc so that i can revert back to my favorite stock 2.1 and move the apps i install.
Plz..plz...plz...
use titanium backup and back up your games, then restore them on your new ROM

oh sorry, you are worried about the phone's memory being used up?
Sent from my X10 TripNMiUI using XDA Premium App
Yes....the reason i use a custom ROM is due to memory issue.
Unfortunately, you can't usr apps2sd on a 2.1 rom. But I think you can add a few lines into the build.prop to force install apps into the sd card.

Can you let me know what lines and where i shud add those to builp.prop
I am pretty sure you can't app2SD in 2.1 but, who knows

My sd card slot not working

Hey my brother's sd card slot has stopped working nd it still is under warranty , but the phone is rooted wat should i do if i have to give to service under the warranty ........

If you are still on stock rom, just unroot it. If you also have installed another recovery like cwm, flash original recovery too. If I remember correctly you can find it in original android development section, thread is called something like flashable recovery.

Xrecovery backup files

Hi guys
I have a doubt. I have backed up my stock rom just in case I need to get back from my wolf's rom. I have copied those backup file in my pc. Although I have 8 gb sd card but I am running less on memory. I want to delete those backup files from sd card cz they carry 700 mb. After I delete those files from sd and whenever I'd like to get back on stock rom, and copy those files from pc to sd then will Xrecovery recognise that backup? Sorry for bad English.....
Yes it will.just don't change the name of a folder

If I repair my phone using pc companion, will I get back to stock kernel and rom? And will I lose my root and unlocked bootloader?

No if youre using a custom kernel.. you cant repair with unlocked bootloader unless you flashed back to stock kernel.. only root will gone and bootloader will not be relocked when using pccompanion (thats why binary and androxyde included a relocking bootloader ftf file in their flashtool)..
So to summarize you have to repair your x10 unlock bootloader with pccompanion.. keep that in mind that before repairing you have to be on stock kernel..

I came from a 4.1.1 ROM and I backed up and formatted my card to Fat32,I'm now running this ROM and now my card isn't allowing me to restore anything from it, I can see it but can't do anything with it, no error message or anything.... I'm so confused... Please help ASAP
If you switched to a 4.2.x rom you wont be able to restore anuthing due to where 4.2 roms store info... due to the multi user modes.

So finish that explanation. OP check the cm10.1 thread. In the op is a downgrade zip. Flash that then restore your backup

I'm confused, what ROM are you on and what ROM, are you wanting to go to? as far as your pictures, all that is so on your sd card and will be if you flash that zip fin the cm10.1 thread. They are just stored in different directories. The 4.2 ROMs have different directories then 4.1to make multi user possible. So before going any further answer my last question and we'll get you straight.
