Can I flash every ROM to x10i from x10 android dev. ?
And can I flash x10i with newest Official Rom by old tutorial?
Thanks for your answers.
And if you don't want to help me, do not write to this thread.
Yes i use search, but every people can find every thing.
Sometimes somebody need a help.
Yes, you can flash every rom in x10 android development.
What do you mean with "newest rom by old toturial"?

Yes
So it is posible ? I dont to brick my phone.
On psp when you flash custom firmware on official 6.XX later you can brick you psp. (its only example)
But therefore I ask.
So I can flash every x10(i) with any rom. And it's not dependent on actual rom. Yes or no ?
Sorry for my english :/

The X10's flash mode is hard coded in.. so if you set up the flashtool, you can always revert back to a stock original or branded rom. Even if you crash in the middle of rom install, you still have the ability to go back using the flash tool or SEUS repair.
Most roms are a continuing project and in different phases of it.. some are from scratch and some are ports from other phones, all roms have different abilities and perks to running them. CM7 roms give extended system tweaks, and MIUI roms are almost a totally different framework altogether, but they are very smooth.
Kernels are the linux system behind it all, some roms will wipe the original kernel and replace it.. or if you go through the amazing process of unlocking your bootloader, you can have the actual kernel itself replaced.. the perks of this are mostly for overclocking & undervolting to get better performance and/or battery life.
I find no matter which dirrection I go with a rom or kernel, it always seems to have its significant advantages.. If you run into a jam feel free to PM me and I will try and guide you in what ever your venture is, I think I have installed every rom at 1 time or another lol.. best of luck!
even if u brick it can be easily resolved to the normal state...only sometimes it becomes a big pain in a** !! else its cool to go around flashing !!!

You can depending on what the u u want to flash.
some roms require the bootloader to be unlocked, and some don't so. Be cautious if not the phone will get. Stuck in a boot loop, in se logo.

Hi. I have some doubts about this, I wanna try the last rom by nAa, and it ask for a unlock bootloader and nAa Kernel, my quiestion is: After doing that is there any way for getting back to the original kernel, I mean PC companion will work? and restore it like factory?
Thx!
Don't worry, you can flash anytime back to stock kernel, witch is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403808
Thnx, but I meant Mini pro u20...
Btw, if I have a Backup with Minicm7 by paul in cwm with stock kernel, if then I flash Naa kernel, if I restore the backup I had, it comes with the stock kernel??
No. CMW backups the ROM and its data. To revert back to stock kernel you just have to DL a stock kernel file from the site and flash it.
And the bootloader re-lock?
What are the benefits for having an unlocked bootloader, using a rom in stock kernel...
If you're using stock kernel and dont plan on using a custom kernel, there's no benefit.
The whole purpose of unlocking BL is to be able to flash a custom kernel. there are pretty whack custom kernels around which, naturally, are better than stock.
So, what are the benefits of using Custom Kernel?
My x10 mini pro is running paul-xxx's miniCM7pro version 17, and the result I got from S1tool were: SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE (that means I can unlock it right?). My question is can I continue the unlocking process, or do I need to downgrade my phone first to stock firmware?
I'm doing this for my brother so I haven't been much on this sub-forum.
Thanks
I was like you, in the cm7 by paul, I flashed normally with no downgrading....
Just do it...!!

Depends on the kernel you're using. NAa's is the best one out there. Zombie panic is at par with it. Tonnes of features with outstanding speed and stability.
But i guess you're aware of it now
I'm a complete noob when it comes to tinker my x10. I recently installed DonutHD2.2 on it, it has baseband 2.1.71 and Kernel 2.6.29-000530g5f01537 [email protected] #1....
I've heard alot about doom kernel and the others, however I want to know what's the basic purpose of a custom kernel and which one is the best for my rom. Stable wifi connection is my highest priority xD.
Please help a newbie .

Hi,
kernel is the main system core of every LINUX or UNIX system, even on Android (its something like non.consistent linux...) which controlls the whole hardware available on system - e.g. display,processor, memory, wifi and bt and so on.
As you wrote, your system has stock kernel - standart delivered from SE.
You can use any kernels from XDA for X10i, there are not so much differences between them. The main thing is the CPU governors. Stock kernel doesnt have good CPU governor (called "ondemand"), so it drains battery all the time. Thats the one thing related to kernel. There are also some optimalizations and so on like undervolting, possibility to load external harware support drivers an a lot of other stuff.
But for begginner, you would probably appreciate only the CPU governors, because of battery life.

I hear doom kernel is good, but it has wifi problems, especially with the latest version. Which kernel would you recommend?
Try doomkernel or zKernel, but u must know that some kernels are for locked and some for unlocked bootloader. U have doom for both.

Yes, I am also running DoomKernel
I am using 2.6.29-modFXP-DooMKernel-v04b; could recommend it. And wifi works great (using it often, dont want 3G data plan).
As was told - depends if you are on locked or unlocked bootloader; but locked doesnt matter I have it also for to be completely save

I don't know if I have locked or unlocked bootloader. ^.^
How do I check?
Also if I install any of these custom kernels, would I be able to restore the original SE kernel if needed?
U can check it with s1tool, find it on this thread (step for unlocking bootloader). And yes, u can return ur stock kernel, with flashtool. All info u can find on this thread:

If you havent done bootloader unlock, you have locked bootloader Or test as described above
And yes, if you will install any custom kernel you are still able to load original kernel from SE. In case you will delete locked bootloader image; the stock kernel will load instead. This is on locked bootloader, dont know if this also on locked kernels.
No, DoomKernel doesn't have WiFi problems...I think you said it because once you have DoomKernel installed on your phone, you must flash and adittional file using Flashtool that is called Wifi Module, and everything will be fine again..

Personally I havent used Feralab ROMs, but on other ones I didnt have any problems.
You dont need to backup stock kernel, it cant be erased (only after bootloader unlock).
If you will find any problems, we or I will surely help you
Yap, on locked BL u can't erase stock kernel, u don't need to backup.

Flashing Kernel
I am a total newbie and have rooted my x10 and unlocked its bootloader. But now I want to use custom roms but do not know how to flash a custom kernel. Can you guide to a thread which can show step by step guide on flashing custom kernel???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am searching all the threads since last month without any success.

I guess that you can find a complete tutorial on FlashTools topic under the complete FlashTool guide.
Long story short:
1 Install Flashtool and put desired kernel file inside the firmware folder (which is located inside flashtool folder)
2 Connect phone with unknown sources and USB debugging checked on and check if its recognized
3 Click the flash button (the one with the little thunder), select the kernel file
4 Follow FlashTools instructions (it will show up after you select the files and hit ok)
5 ??????
6 Profit

That additional file called WIFI module or WIFI fix must be flashed via Xrecovery, because it's a zip file. With Flashtool you flash just FTF files (FlashTool File).
Doomkernel (V06) are good, Ferakernel also, ThJap th n5-1... This are kernels for Stock based Roms.
For non-Stock based Roms, like CM 7.2 AND CM9.1 based Roms, you must use kernels which are based on that Roms (FXP kernel, Amin kernel...)
That rom that you were flashed (Donut 2.2.9) is one of the best Stock based Rom. You can use Doomkernel v.06 with medium OC (Overclock) 1113 Mhz. First download Doomkernel on PC, and put that file in Flashtool/firmware folder. Than download WIFI module for that kernel and put on SD card of your phone(every kernel have specific wifi module). Flash kernel via Flashtool, when finished, reboot into Xrecovery ( when you power up your phone and blue led lights up, keep pressing Back button on your phone). Choose Install custom zip, than find your downloaded Wifi module and choose to install. After that, choose Reboot option in Xrecovery and enjoy...

Rooted x10i running stock 2.3.3
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
hi
i myself googled it (kernel) that is and what i found was something like this
the kernel itself is what controls all the processes, inputs (hardware and software inputs), controles the fysic and virtual memory etc etc.
and the rom itself (this is with out goggling could be wrong) is the software like compared to your pc it would be windows, linux, etc
hope ths helped had to translate so hope you understand!
Thanx ! ! But I still don't understand .... I mean can v be on the stock rom n hav a different kernel? Or can v hav a different rom on the stock kernel?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
im pretty new to this myself and i've noticed there's so many different choices of roms and kernels out there so what i can tell you are the things i read and and have done/noticed so far.
first of yes i believe you can stay on stock and use another kernel (i actually went with CM7 Zmod first then changed kernels)
second ive seen most roms giving a link to a custom kernel aswell
custom kernel pros are somewhat explained in the following:
* i remember reading that the stock kernel kept on going even while its not needed
*so i installed the doomkernel V6 (CAUTION theres a difference between kernels for locked/unlocked bootloaders)
wich allowed me to set the cpu as i pleased (by another application wich i saw people using in videos etc. ''no frills CPU control'')
i did this before unlocking the bootloader and i noticed the difference in battery consumption aswell
theres so many different options in how to set the kernel that youre better of wiki'ing em . thats what i did and helped alot in understanding what it does.
sorry for all the info you didnt ask for but it might be usefull for later on ??
Yea definitely damn useful!!!!! So frm ur point, should I.change my kernel? Cuz I don't want to flash custom rom. Camera doesn't.work.best. and games don't seem to work properly on.this present stock.kernel of Sony ( srsly PES worked better on 2.1 !)

Oh and I also want to.overclock my device xD
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
im actually overclocking aswel but in moderation i suppose
theres one higher in Mhz wich i dont use because of the following.
1 im learning
2 scared
mainly because i saw this line
v06 (only for EXPERIENCED TESTERS) [OVERCLOCKED VERSION] {DEVICE MAY NOT BOOT} ( min/max: 128Mhz/1228Mhz )
and as youl see its not that different in Mhz as this one
v06-1113 [medium OVERCLOCK VERSION] ( min/max: 128Mhz/1113Mhz )
so its all out there but im pretty carefull on reading up first and then trying
ive pretty much got it all working on the first try
* CM7 Zmod
* unlocking the bootloader (meaning instead of loading stock kernel first, cancelling this, rebooting custom kernel it just goes straight to the last step (faster!))
*doomkernels V6 unlocked bootloader kernel
So I should unlock my bootloader n then change my kernel to.which ever u r on ( while being on stock 2.3.3 rom) n then overclock it ...logically n technically is what I'm saying is right?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
while i was looking for this i also found that he submitted kernels for stock roms wich i didnt use so im not sure why tbh :s
i believe that the CM7 Zmod isnt an actual ''rom'' aswell but a port (whatever that means )
so that means im using the stock rom with this ''mod'' and the V6 kernel non stock rom and evrythings bin working fine for about 2 weeks now
rom = like windows xp software
kernell = using software to mod the motherboard so its compatible with the rom
So can I stay on stock rom n change my kernel?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
whatever you use should be you're choice i suppose but what i did was .
get the kernel for the LOCKED bootloader first theres plenty of em out there.
dont forget the app youl need to control the cpu itself
ive seen posts of people refusing to unlock there bootloader mainly because you can mess up and brick (destroy) your phone
so whatever you do . dont unlock it untill some more exp. people explain what its all about.
im not sure so dont believe me on the following.
i believe it was something about unlocking it and doing a full wipe or such means youl do A FULL WIPE bye bye xrecovery and an endless bootloop
because xrecovery isnt or wasnt (fixed or not) build in the custom kernel
so untill then be safe theres plenty of roms/kernels etc to try with a locked bootloader so you'll wait 15 sec longer for the extra booting thats required
only reason i did it was to go straight to the custom kernel and to multi boot roms meaning i can try out other roms and still keep the one most stable for daily use.
What is perhaps the most prominent use for unlocking the booloader is that u can have your recovery built-in at kernel level (as is the case for pretty much every ulbl kernel), meaning u will always have recovery on ur phone
Sent from my Xperia X10 using XDA
That's it? For just having recovery u need to unlock bootloader?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
no no hes saying ''at kernel lvl'' you even got recovery with your locked bootloader if im not mistaken ? (think you told me in some post)
so if i understand it it means even if doing full wipes etc youl always have xrecovery cause its build in on kernel lvl (so build in your custom kernel)
No I mean that if u flash to stock or anything usually u would break recovery but with ulbl it ALWAYS there. There are other reasons too (like extra schedulers and governor's for CPU)

Hey, I'm interested in this so I'm gonna jump in on the conversation.
I've read that with an unlocked bootloader, the recovery is built in at the kernel level, and from my limited knowledge I thought the kernel resides in the boot partition. Why wouldn't the recovery be in the recovery partition? Is their a recovery partition?
When I did a nandroid backup, I notice that it only backed up the sys, data and dalvik. Maybe theres no boot or recovery partition.... I'll eventually learn all the answers I need, I figured this was a good thread to ask some of these questions.
I really hav no idea ....I myself am.trying to pick points from here

I'm on my way to create a clean ics rom PRE-ROOTED, i just don't have enough time, if you would like to give me a hand i will apreciate that.
In the mean time just root your phone the long way, update to 4.0.4 an then install CWM Recovery and finally install this ROM, is the one i'm using right now and run really smooth, and it's pre rooted.
If you need help with any of those steps pm me.
