if u think ur fimrware is broken best way is to flash to fresh one and as we are having rooted update it is better to go with properly working firmware
use binarys guide to flash to any of the given firmwares (i am having UK one but u can flash to any one as the updated one is Nordic) and then use latest update to flash new rooted firmware.it is just simple 10 mis procedure to flash a firmware nothing to worry if u follow proper steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825664
ask if u having any doubts
Can anyone guide me properly on how to get back to the original ROM ? I have the ftf file for my country.. or will it be better to do it using the update service or PC companion ?
I actually want to go back to the original thing.. custom roms and all are just going over my head lol
Please guide me... What I did was I flashed my phone to 2.3.3 then I rooted my phone and then I installed WolfBreaks rom.. the battery is not working good.. so I am thinking to go back to the original gingerbread rom.. do I need to flash it using the flashtool ? Just guide me properly if possible, like how to flash using flashtool stepwise thanks
Just flash your gingerbread ftf with flashtool.

Just flash it as repair using seus or pc companion that will put you in the original GB version for your location.
Is their any thread showing how to do it? I am not much experienced with flashing

Yes, there is a thread somewhere with a detailed guide on how to use flashtool. Just search for "flashtool guide".
You can also use Pcc or SEUS if you want, and that's fine, but I suggest you learn how to use flashtool just in case something nasty happens in the future. Flashtool isn't really that complicated.

do I need to select all the firmware contents while selecting the firmware ? like loader.sin, kernel.sin and so on..
No, once you have selected the firmware, click ok and follow the instructions.

Hello,
I would like to know if its possible to flash a kernel from within xrecovery? Did some one already tryed that, or will this screw up my device for sure? Or if theres another way to flash kernel and rom without the use of a pc.

YOu can simply replace kernel if you are using any custom ROM on locked kernel.
Then you can simply copy and paste it (overwrite)
EDIT: As I know, this cant be applied when on unlocked bootloader (you havent noticed it before).
Yeah, well apperntly im outta luck i geus. My x10i is rooted + unlocked bootloader, but im running 2.3.3 gb.... No custom rom, about the kernel i dont know if its stock or custom, i would have to take i look at google to find it out.
Edited: And yeah, looking back it would indeed bin better if i posted this info in first post.
After all it looks that im gonna have to borrow a pc by a friend.

Yes, info is correct. Locked uses xrecovery, but unlocked needs flashtool & pc.

Could it be due to locked bootloader?
Also install the file in the flashtool\drivers folder to make sure it's not a driver issue
And update flashtool to v8.5.0/8.6.0

Agreed with senior. Drivers might not be installed properly, or flashing wrong files. Make sure X10 Brand name exists in flashtool alright.

Bootloader have two types: Locked Bootloader and Unlocked Bootloader. Normally Developers will provide 2 version of ROMs to be flashed. Safest flashing for Locked Bootloader is via Xrecovery, while Unlocked Bootloader is Flash FTF Kernel and recommended Recovery. You can check/identify your Bootloader Status and also Simlock Certificate (see whether Suitable to be unlocked bootloader) via S1tool by senior 9luka5
link for S1tool here For more tutorial, you can visit my signature links for PDf guides. Thank you. Cheers

Download the latest version of flashtool v0.9... I think u can unlock bootloader by going to "plugins" tab right next to help....it would show up only if your bootloader is locked... once you unlock then you can flash any kernel you want... remember to backup your existing ROM using recovery before you go around messing with phone

Before I can give you any link I have small question... is your phone rooted? And what version of android you r running ? And if its a custom ROM then what ROM are you using?
BTW you can't flash custom kernel without unlocking bootloader.. you need to unlock bootloader to flash kernel... kernels are usually ftf files you can download them and flash using flashtool.... different ROMs have different kernel so you need to read instructions on ROM thread you r interested in...

You have soft bricked your phone.. don't worry, download a ROM which you can use for locked bootloader and follow the steps and you should be good to go... to get into flash mode try this.... don't connect your phone but start Seus-> update software-> repair-> software will ask you to get into flash mode so turn off phone by removing battery, connect the phone without battery-> place the battery while holding the back button down and phone will get into flash mode and stock ROM will be flashed...

Download pc companion or sony update service, click in sus on your phone, reinstall/repair firmware (something like that) and then you just have to plug your phone in flashmode again. It will flash the firmware (guess it will wipe data) and it should be fine
I've got the same problem as you. just download firmware for your device (search in google), then flash via flashtool.

What Was the Previous Version Of Your Android before Upgrading It to .587 ?
This Problem is very Common Among Those use .58 of 2.3.4 on their LWW before Upgrading.Just Remove Your SD card and Completely Format It , You can Copy ur music and other personal files But DO NOT COPY files created My phone like android , data , .android_secure or something simply copy those are of ur personal Interest.
Then Flash The .ftf from the link given below and flash .58 firmware and root ur device (if u wish but if not leave the step no. 3 undone and u will not be rooted) then upgrade using ur phone To .62 as a system update from the update center (do not use PC).
after that u will get a clean .62 Firmware.
If u wish to install the ICS please install it via Offline mode as it provides u clean install and no problem (i am using it)
