[Solved] x10i not rootable? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi from the newbie front... I searched on xda but did not find an answer to my problem: this x10 so far has defied all attempts to root it.
Specs:
x10i
GB 2.3.3 (ota)
Baseband 2.1.71
Kernel 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537
Build 3.0.1.G.0.75
(bought in Germany 11.11 with 1.6, ota to 2.3.3 in US 11.11)​
What I tried so far:
Gingerbreak - spins for hours w/o results
X10root 1.0 - crashes after hitting “Root” button
z4root 1.3 - freezes
SuperOneClick - forgot why it didn't work
DooMLoRD_v1_ROOT – paths not recognized/found
flashtool 0.6.7 - stops at installing busybox. Gave up after waiting ca. 35 min. The Logfile:

All PC-based attempts (vs. apk's) I tried on an Intel-iMac with Parallels and also on a Windows PC, except flashtool.
With very limited knowledge and competence, I'm now at my wit's end. Rather maddening.
What did I overlook, and what can I do?
TIA for your help!

Try flash a pre-rooted stock 2.3.3 ROM
1) Download ftf here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16121725
2) Find the folder where flashtool is & place the ftf in /flashtool/firmwares/
3) Flaaaaash!

Thanks for the tip. This is the dreaded part where the palms get sweaty, heat comes on and I start scratching my earlobe nervously.
Not sure if I can/should tackle this – as mentioned before "...very limited knowledge and competence". At least I'm honest about my limitations

Unlocking Bootloader FAILED ON EVERY TUT MENTIONED ON THESE FORUMS! [SOLVED]

This has been solved! Check at bottom for solution!
I have been looking around to find a way to unlock it simply, but nothing was possible.
I've enabled all development settings, it's SEMC SIMLOCK, it's still on R, I've even moved to other rom to try it to make it work, disabled AV, firewall, installed drivers, everything but NOTHING worked.

I really want to know how to fix this damn thing because I've wasted 5 HOURS ON THIS and NOTHING WORKED.
Here's solution: Run CMD, and run adb -e reboot (forces all emulators to reboot), and make sure you don't have any other emulators by running command "adb devices". You'll have to check 3-4 times to be sure by terminating idle adb.exe in task manager.

[Q] Flashing MT15i on Ubuntu

Hi mates¡
First of all, sorry for my english.
I didnt want open a thread for my issue but i cant find anthing thath work for me. I began to comment the issue at Pandemic's thread (it's the guide that I below to flash). When I read the answers is like my problem is so weird...
Well, my setup:
* Neo Mt15i with 0.62 stock
* Pc with a clean installation of Ubuntu 12.04
* I installed Java JDK with this Guide:
http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/showthread.php/772
* I installed ADB with that:
http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/showthread.php/773
After that, I add tu /udev/rules/ with my IDVENDOR and IDPRODUCT (I get it using the terminal using "$ lsusb". I readed it from a guide at XDA but cant find now, later I will edit this and add the link ) the line from flashtool web:
Add these rules to /etc/udev :
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0fce", SYSFS{idProduct}=="*", MODE="0777"

I must to unplug the NEO because it dont work. When I do this LOG its the 10 time i tried, and never works, even I wait for half hour. Thats because I didnt wait this time, always its the same...
I will update that with SCREENSHOTS later... For a easier understanding.
* I must use a virtual machine to install SEUS or PCCOMPANION, because of that I create that with VIRTUAL BOX and install winXP. I try flashtool here too.
I installed JavaJDK; SDK; DRIVERS from drivers folder of Flashtool.
No works either...The same result
I think to create another VM with win7 to try on that but i will do it later.
Thats all my problem, i dont know what more I can do...Could you help me??
Many many thanks for all those wath read the long text and dont get tired of my english.
Your udev rules is flaky, flashtool is a more than just adb.
Use the one from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25511424
Also don't connect the phone till it tells you

Thanks for the fast answer.
In the link that you wrote before there are another link of minus,and those are dead links...
My android rules in udev have more info, I copy that of the link I posted before about install ADB. At final of these links I write that one of FLAHTOOL web. I found another three lines to write here but im not at pc and I havent the links here... This three lines was writed for a Spanish xdader at a thread its the only thing I remember.
Later I will post the link and my android rules.
Any idea for now?

which language installed on your ubuntu is it non-english
exactly flashtool have some issues on non-english OS
you can put this line on flashtool executable file
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
than flashtool will work fine
EDIT:flashtool was updated to 0.7.1.0 you can get it from here

I change my android.rule file, I put yours one. Continue cant flashing, and when I connect with the phone ON Flashtool recognise it, and ADB too (with "$ adb devices").
The first one I have was three lines (one/conecction mode) which I get from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612273
Thats one is my actual 99-android.rules

open FlashTool file and your file must look like this
#!/bin/sh
export BASEDIR=$(dirname $0)
export system64=$(uname -m)

then

I think you are using 64-bit ubuntu
Check that libusb-1.0 is installed. On 64bits system, both 64bit and 32bit should be installed
hope can work

Im reading about this, i found that if I install 32 bits package, uninstall 64 bits....that isnt a problem? ... I found this in another forum:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/127701/gcc-m32-cannot-find-libraries
You could install the 32-bit packages for these libraries:
$ sudo apt-get install libusb-dev:i386 libX11-dev:i386
Note, however, that this will remove the 64-bit versions. Probably it's better to use a chroot (e.g. with cowbuilder or pbuilder) or Qemu image for this kind of thing. E.g. create the file ~/.pbuilderrc-precise-i386:
# Set this to the distribution you want to build for
DISTRIBUTION=precise
# The architecture you want to build for
ARCHITECTURE=i386
# The directory in which to store the chroot base image
BASEPATH=/var/cache/pbuilder/base-precise-i386.cow
# The repositories to be enabled in the /etc/apt/sources.list
COMPONENTS="main universe"
# If you want to speed things up with ccache, enable these options
export CCACHE_DIR="/var/cache/pbuilder/ccache"
export PATH="/usr/lib/ccache:${PATH}"
# List here all packages you need to build your software
# (e.g. build-essential, libusb-dev, libX11-dev, etc.)
EXTRAPACKAGES=ccache
# List here all directories from you system that should be visible inside the chroot
BINDMOUNTS="${CCACHE_DIR} ${HOME}/projects"
Then install cowbuilder and create the base image as follows:
$ sudo apt-get install cowbuilder
$ sudo cowbuilder --create --configfile ~/.pbuilderrc-precise-i386
Lastly, enter the chroot and finish configuring it (copy over configuration files:
$ sudo cowbuilder --login --save-after-exec --configfile ~/.pbuilderrc-precise-i386
You can exit the chroot using Ctrl+D or using exit. Now you have set up your base-image. In the future, don't use the --save-after-exec flag any more when entering the chroot. This ensures that all the modifications will be discarded after you leave the chroot, ensuring a clean build environment for future builds.
Now you should be able to enter the chroot and build your software:
$ sudo cowbuilder --login --configfile ~/.pbuilderrc-precise-i386
% cd $HOME/projects/foo
% # build project foo
Note, however, that the files created in this way will be owned by root. Hence, out-of-source builds are a very good idea.

download those files and install via dpkg -i *.deb
libusb-0.1-4_0.1.12-20_i386.deb
libusb-1.0-0_1.0.9~rc3-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
and you have to search on synaptic for ia32-libs and ia32-libs-multiarch
than install those packages
if doesn't work switch to 32bit ubuntu or 32bit windows for better compatibility
It's working fine here on 64 12.4
If the above doesn't work, I'll post a list of installed packages, should sort you out

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570

Hi guys!
My device seems to be dead.
I tried upgrading from GB2.3.4 to 2.3.6, and that's when the problem occurs.
I used ODIN 4.3.8 to flash the firm ware. But ODIN was downloading MIBIB for the past few hours.
And then, the screen appear a "Phone connecting to a PC, with a exclamation mark in between."
Any idea what has happened? In need of help desperately.
Thanks in advance.

I then proceeded to flash (cm-10.1-20130509-UNOFFICIAL), that I downloaded from a link off xda – forum.
About 3 minutes into the flash process it abruptly stopped.
I waited another 5 minutes before disconnecting the usb, then when I rebooted all I get is a screen with Phone connecting to PC with an exclamation mark between them.
If anyone can help me at this point, I would greatly appreciate your input.
Thank You for your time,

[Q] HELP! Xperia U full brick

Searched the forum but found nothing to fit my problem (at least no thread with a solution...)
I have an Xperia U with ICS ST25i_6.0.B.3.184_Generic_World.
Rooted, unlocked.
Was dreadfully slow and cashed all the time, so i tried to restore the factory default with the Sony Bridge for Mac.
That started, the failed mid-process and told me that he cannot communicate with the installer on the phone.
Of cause boot-up was not happening anymore after this - just a short xperia logo and then some icon telling me that it won't start.
Tried to use flashtool several times.
Flashmode starts, logs this to the console and dowsn't seem to do anything substancial afterwards:

The green LED goes off after some 20 or 30 seconds and nothing happens.
Phone is stuck with the red loading-LED on and won't do anything afterwards.
Holding VolUp + Power after battry-cycling just makes the blue LED blink once and gives single vibration.
Then the phone goes into the red-LED stasis as well.
The screen doesn't show anything anymore at any time / action.
Is there still hope or will I open a second thread to ask for new phone recommendations?
Post flashtool full log with default log level(info)

Have you tried charging the phone for a few hours? Can you boot into fastboot mode? If you can try fastbooting a kernel.

Fastboot wont work. Although I installed the driver, rebooted, etc.
Flashtool says:
Code:
08/001/2013 23:01:57 - ERROR - (MainSWT.java:117) - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
08/001/2013 23:01:57 - ERROR - (MainSWT.java:118) - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
It's an XP SP3 running in a Parallels VM.
Reactions to plugging in/out are "normal" in windows terms. The usual "plig plong" and for Fastboot the little popup on the icons tray and the driver-installer popping up. Maybe I need to unload some driver or install a separate pack?
IAmNice said:
If flashtool says so I would do it.
Click to expand...

I would if I could. Or if he would. Or if he would recognize it when installed
The driver installer says he did it and it doesn't change anything.
But seriously: Is there a way to see if the driver is already there, or remove and reinstall it or just manually add some package?
Bro you got a mac user here also.
Go to flashtool website and download the MAC VERSION of flashtool. Parallels/vmware is very buggy with flashtool as the device connects to the mac, needs some time to the vm. By then, the device would already time out and auto disconnect.

Ah there is a new version for mac? Neat!
So far I only found the terminal version.
That said I used the win/VM version to unlock and flash my phone - went well before.
I also have news:
I kept the phone charging over night and now it won't launch into ANY mode any more.
No Fastboot, no Flashmode. Reset doesn't do nothing.
Time to whip out the JTAG module and solder some adapters?
@brainzilla :hey mate dont worry its not a bigger problem..as you can access fastboot and flashboot so dont worry about the brick ..it is just softbrick..if possible do it in a xp sp3 system..
1.download flashtool for windows 32bit
2.install it
3.inside the installation folder you will find driver installation folder & click it
4.choose fastboot option which is just below the all options
5.connect your device to system with fastboot mod(power (+) vol+)
6.it will show to install driver ..then click it and go to advance option and then choose from hard disk
7.click f1boots driver or something which will be shown
8.then again put the device into fastboot mod
9.it will show your device in flashtool as connected in fastboot
10.Easily flash a kernel and then a custom rom and voila

As of this morning nothing happens anymore.
Well the charge-indicator is red when plugged in. That's it.
No vibrations, further lights or reaction from PC or Mac.

Stays on as long as power is present.
Clicking any button does nothing.
Yesterday evening when I plugged it in for the night to charge the LED went red and the phone entered Flashmode immediately - flashmode stopped after the timeout and when unplugging the charge-LED stayed red forever. Re-plugging didn't change anything, Flashmode didn't start a second time. Taking out the battery made it go off and it stayed like that until plugging it in the next time.

Dunno - what is TA Backup? Only place I saw that is in Flashtool to exclude TA I think.
I still have warranty, but I used the sony site to get an unlock-code.
So it's gonna at least cost me some €. Will call em tomorrow.
Used ones are from 80€ upwards, so I wonder how much Sony will charge...

Hehe thanks. But the german site doesn't even list any phone-repair-centers.
But I will try to find out more tomorrow. The only work till 6
The thing is u played with pcc with unlocked bl... did u relocked it before doing something with pcc? here is the trouble i guess!
I don t know how xU is done but if nobody could repair it for u ,u should buy a battery and change it... Or at least unconnect yours for cuple of minutes then replug it and plug charger on...
because kernel don t start so battery not charging thats why every one should do flashing and everything could mess the phone with at least 60% of battery in case something like that happens... theres a thread somewhere in xda for recovery from brick, find it i must go to bed lollll

Ahhh! I see!
The digital limbo it was in caused the charger to stop working and sucked the battery dead.
So the red LED now just tells me the battery is at 0%.
Will try to recharge with my bench-supply.
But those batteries are a pain in the ass to interface...
Like i said im not sure but look flashing a kernel takes average one sec!
And only led and no screen on u know what i mean...if u could have just a bit of juice then its enough to fastboot. U must unplug battery cuz u will never be able to start it if not...
And soon as u could flash kernel then u touch nothing plug in charger for cuple hours and u should be good to flash a ftf and run on it for a day
And please guys...u have u bl? FORGOT PCC lolll unless u relock it...i didn t start pcc since almost a year
sent with my Nypon using tapatalk 2
OK guys thanks for all the technical and moral support so far!
I figured a way to load my battery with a bench-supply.
The procedure involved springs from a pen, small screws from an old HDD, micro-clamps, multimeter-cables/probes, silver tape and a toolmaker's vice....
By the way: The BA600 Battery is protected by a small circuit - so you need more than the nominal 4.2V to charge it.
I set it to the 5.1V a regular USB-charger outputs and it did the trick in about 2hrs.
Anyhow I was then able to use the latest OSX version of Flashtool in Fastboot mode and flash a kernel.
Then I used the Flashmode and flashed the s*** out of it.
That said: It works again! :good: :good: :good:
So at least I have gingerbread back and will give Cyan 10.0 a try.
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU GUYS!
Seriously! Wicked good support here!
Happy for u.
Im sure next time u ll b careful

More like "Next time I know what I do because I learned it the hard way..."
The whole documentation and "support" for the procedures is quite complicated in my opinion.
I mean how complicated is it to code a HELP-button into Flashtool?
Anyways - thanks again!

[Q] [Unlocking Bootloader] Drivers need to be installed for connected device.

I am sorry that I know there are so many articles talking about
Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
I have read so many articles but still cannot find out the problem.
I go to "Devices" of Flashtool and "Check Drivers"
It gave me this
01/004/2014 00:04:31 - INFO - List of connected devices (Device Id) :

01/004/2014 00:04:31 - INFO - List of fastboot devices :
01/004/2014 00:04:31 - INFO - - none
And I could not unlock bootloader.
I have ticked the USB Debug yet my Z2 is not rooted yet.
Do I have to root it first?
May someone guide me how to unlock because I cannot finish it using the official way
It always keeps telling me "Waiting for device"
Thank you so much!
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/unlock-bootloader-on-sony-xperia-z2/
I followed this website.
Using method 1, I could not achieve step 4
Using method 2, when I type fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
noting happened, it seemed to be saying "cannot find 0x0fce" or somthing else
I don't know why it keeps telling me no driver installed
I go to Device Manager of Windows and it shows it has the updated driver installed in the PC
I am using Win 8.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635830
This thread will help alot
Press windowsKey + R
type/paste
Code:
shutdown -o -r -t 0
into the box, this will restart your machine in the advanced startup menu.
when it restarts choose "disable driver signing" Then install the driver manually using the "have disk" option. when you reboot again the driver should be working.
-------------------
I followed what it said but when is "when it restarts choose "disable driver signing" Then install the driver manually using the "have disk" option. "???
I could not find disable driver signing.
After entering the shutdown command, what button should I press? Thank you for replying! I wish I will be able to flash rom today
Not sure what to do then because i ran into the same issue but i just used a linux OS as a work around
Thanks for answering
I will try using Win Vista
I hope someone could teach me
