Hi, a long time ago I installed CyanogenMod 6.1.3 v06 on my Xperia X10i
Android 2.2.1
Kernel version
2.6.29 [email protected] #1
It is rooted and the bootloader is still locked
can someone please help me and tell me how I can go from this old rom to the newest stock rom? I also remember I tinkerd with some file to make the multitouch work, so now I am afraid if i just flash a new ROM I might brick the phone.
Any help would be much appreciated!
regards, superphil0
Via PC companion,just go to update than repair.It worked for me.
Sent from my xperia "z10i"
First of all thanks for the answer!
I tried it but when I want to repair my phone I get an error: Your ip adress is not allowed to update/repair brown phone. Please connect to the SEMC network to update your phone.
any idea how I could proceed?

You can use flashtool and stock 2.3.3 tft file to flash to the latest 2.3 stock rom.
Use search function in the form.
Thank you very much!
Everything working now with 2.3.3

Hi guys. sorry for starting a new thread, im a desire owner, but my friend has just bought a x10 mini, it came with donut, am i right in assuming the eclair update is out yet? my friend is having trouble donwloading the update from the sony servers, when ever he tried it returns the error, could not contact update server (or somthing like that).
anyway my question is, is it possible to download the update from another source and flash it from sd? If so could someone give me a download link and also tell me how to enter bootloader ect on the xperia as i know nothing about it. your help is much apreciated guys
at this time there nothing like flash from SD for the X10 series!, the most easy way for your friend is install PC Companion on other computer and other ISP the try to update, also check if the update is present for that kit from the config menu.
U.K eclair should be out for most U.K mini's now..
If your friend is having trouble search the Mini thread for Bin4ry's Flashtool, you can download the U.K 2.1 firmware and install with his flashtool on a windows P.C
hope that helps..
hi
i installed latest CM7 into my x10 mini, which required the kernel 2.6.29
but it freezes when (sony ericsson) appears at the beginning of the startup
it freezes for hours, so please if anyone of you knows the solution, i appreciate
and also if anyone of you gives me the link to download the .ftf firmware file of 2.1
because i found many firmwares, but all of them are .sin, and i don't know what to do with them, flashtool doesn't find them
help me please, the phone is not mine, it's my bro's

the last miniCM7 requires a custom kernel& unlocked bootloader.
you can't use it with stock SE kernel, sorry
repaire with SEUS or if your phone has an unlocked bootloader, flash nAa's kernel
first i am sorry for the position of the thread, i didn't post, i asked a friend to do it
second i really appreciate your help friends and thank you alot
from your help i understand that i must first unlock the bootloader, then flash the kernel and finally install cyanogenmod 7, am i right??

the (best) way :
unlock your bootloader
install miniCM7 2.0.7 (to maximise the compatibility/minimise problems ) it works with stock kernel and a little with custom...
flash the nAa_kernel04
Install miniCM7 2.1.2
read my FAQ, and the dedicated thread about miniCM7 and the kernel before trying anything
you will find 2.0.7 here

if you are installing older version of MiniCM then try going to recovery mode and wipe battery stats then reinstall it will work hopefully
and then you can crack bootloader and install Custom kernel as matmutant said

best way to get ics on your device is go to xperia x8 section choose the rom and download nAa ics 04 kernel after that you will get taste of real ics. the w8 and x8 are the same so you will be able to install it.
sorry for my bad english

please can i use the same procedure used in updating xperia x10 to update my x10i?
i have xperia x10i and i want to update it please help me. please this is my contact [email protected]
Please Explain
What do you mean by updating it? What are the procedures you talk about?
Use Sony Update Service if you want to update from 2.1 to Gingerbread but back up your data first.
You can also use Sony PC Companion to update your software

@huddlestone2013. It depends on what exactly u want to do...?? If you just want to update your x10i just go with the sony pc suite and update it .
Insted it you want to put some custom roms, then first you need to root your phone/unlock your bootloader, then select any of the awesome roms provided in the development thread.
Here's the link for rooting, unlocking bootloader.

Hi to everybody, well i bought an xperia arc s 2 weeks ago, and i update it to android 4.0.4, but i dont like it, its to slow and has a lot of lag, ive been asking in yahoo that someone give me the generic rom to downgrade it, this is my last hope, please, could anyone give me the generic rom to downgrade my xperia arc s, please,
The number of the model is: LT18i
Android version: 4.0.4
baseband version: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-77
kernel version: 2.6.32.9-perf
[email protected]#1
build number:4.1.B.0.587
Please help me, give me all the stuff that ill need to downgrade my phone please
Hello, my name is Andrew.
I recently got an xperia lt18i phone.
For free.
this is my first touchscreen smart phone thingy.
I would like to install a nice ROM on it, as currently it has problems connecting to WiFi.
Known issue i was told.
Currently it says:
Android version:
4.0.4
kernel is:
2.6..32.9-perf
[email protected]#1
Build number
4.1.b.0.587
My main problem is that i can not find FTF files that i could flash to it, to enable root hacking and unlocking and so on.
Mostly every link is dead i find.
Could someone help me where could i obtain a root-hackable FTF file i could flash ?
I can use the flashtool app, no problem there.
I managed to allmost brick this device as i found only 1 FTF file i was able to download,
sxperia_arc_s_lt18_4.1.a.0.562_nordic.FTF
afterwards the thing was unable to start.
So i searched and after a few attempts i managed to find
LT18i_4-1-b-0-587_Generic Global World.FTF
file, i managed to flash it, the device works, but WiFi problem remains.
What i would need is a working link for an older FTF file that can be root hacked by flashtool. Then i will need to unlock the bootloader, i found the tutorial for that.
The other thing i would need to obtain is a custom FTF file that has WiFi fixed.
I can find download links for files like that, but they are dead links.
So please, if anyone has proper and working links for downloading:
root hackable FTF file
worthy custom FTF file
I would be thankfull.
Thank You for reading.
