Firmware & kernal - Are these synonymous ? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Friends - I am quite struck in at a postion in m y Xperia where in I am unable to login in to Google. As I was just retracing my steps I figured out that during the boot loader unlock process, I had downgraded my phones firmware and unlocked the boot-loader, but instead of upgrading the firmware I choose to upgrade a kernal that wanted for the new RoM.
I am unable to guess if that is the problem that is causing my data unreliability problem, also the phone hangs a lot. Please advice!!
Thanks,
Amrth

I want to retain the MiUI RoM, so I am not that keen on restoring from the PC Comp or SEUS.

but As far as i know you have to be on stock SE rom to unlock bootloader
someone correct me if i m wrong

Try Fresh
Why don't you try a fresh install, root, unlock all together, that'll help a lot, I mean if you know the drill, don't waste your time, try fresh, as per the question as to kernel and firmware being synonymous, no they're not,
Kernel is the core of the system that holds the codes and drivers needed by the system and firmware provides Instructions to the device.

X10 No Signal after Unlocking Bootloader

First of all, I know that I'm an idiot and I should read the instuctions...
My device:
Xperia X10a from [email protected] flashed to CENT_EUROPE_1 X10i, unlocked via DAVINCI TEAM
Then I tried to UNLOCK my Bootloader and I stucked with no singnal/no SIM inserted problem.
Kernel version:
2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 [email protected]#1
So what I want to do now is flash STOCK KERNEL to my Xperia. I allready tried FW/ROM budnles for FlashTool and Wotan, but the kernel version won´t change. Is there a only STOCK KERNEL xRecovery (.zip) pacage for x10?
Thank you in advance.

Sorry then, all I can suggest is to try repairing using seus our pccompanion.
You really should have read the instructions first!
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Both Seus and PC Companion claim that there's no sw available for connected device.
If you do the sim unlock through davinci again it will restore it for you.
I did this exact same thing when I was playing around trying to get unlocked bootloader back after sim unlocking. Alas it failed lol.
But I just unlocked again through davinci and now I am working as normal.
I already tried to do that, but Davinci won't work with my x10 anymore.

I had to jump through a few hoops to get mine going.
I used flashtool to get back to SE stock 2.1 with stock kernel
Then powered it on. Once it was booted and gone through the setup wizard turned it off
Then redid the sim unlock on davinci.
Then I was able to go through root with flashtool to get xrecovery and stuff which got me back to where i started.
PS Going through the power on was required, I tried to do it without that step and davinci wouldn't recognise my handset.

That's the one!
Thank you for the link. I already flashed my phone with Sony Ericsson X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC, but as I mentioned the Kernel version always stuck on 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 [email protected]#1 and won't go back to Stock one (even though the flash is always successful).
So, my tough was to flash back X10a firmware to get it back as it comes from [email protected] So, I flashed X10a_2.1.A.0.492_AT&T and BASEBAND 2.1.65 (X10a). As the result the Kernel version is still 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 [email protected]#1, but now I can make Restore with Sony Ericsson Update Service/PC Companion. Unfortunately KERNEL version is not being restored . The phone still doesn't work with DaVinci, the log is completely the same as on the previous page.
I think that DaVinci doesn't recognize the phone due to its Kernel. So my task is to somehow get the STOCK KERNEL back to my phone... Any ideas?
Are you getting the kernel info from settings > about?
I used the aZuZu kernel downgrade file I think. Wasn't paying too much attention as I was a bit panicky

Neither flashing aZuZu downgrade file chanes my kernel.

[Q] how to unbrick mozart 7

i really need urs help im into trouble i had brick my cell now i cant unbrick my mozart wp7 see what i did
i use spl rspl hspl by dft and i use rspl to ospl 1st i had orignal botloader version 1.23 and now i got 1.32 i was using deepshine 2.0 after thet i successfully flash rom i went back to install a new rom its stuck on bootloader rom and sometime HTC logo in green color and vibrate few time no more windows just give me suggestion waiting for urs kind respnce
Regards
Mohsin Raza
Your Bootloader shows "HSPL1.32xxxx" in the first and "CotullaHSPLxxxxx" in the second Raw?
Then you can flash a Custom ROM .
If you has restored the "OSPL"back, then you only can flash Stock ROMS from your Provider.
Make a Hard reset first .
ok here is what i try alrady
i press power+vol up+down for a hard reset and press andykey to reset and 1st i install RSPL i have 1.23 bot loader then after installing rom successfull i got 1.32 what that mean after that i cant install any other rom and my firmwere has been bricked its stucked on HTC logo few imes vibrate
Again: You have HSPL or not ?
yes i have but no luck i guess i need to repair my spl downgrade back to 1.23 orignal spl but how? right now i have 1.32 i did everything
The HSPL Bootloader is 1.32 !
If you want to get back to original Bootloader you can restore it with the same Tool , only select "OSPL" before.
After that you can flash you Stock ROM from your Provider.
After this , you have the actual SPL from Stock ROM on your Phone ...
soory for a late responce but i did that alrady no luck now i had sent my htc to care center for unbrick and install a official rom...after that i will not stop doing exparement on my mozart but i will be careful next time thanx for urs advice thanx

[Q] Xperia X10 Mini Pro nearly dead

Hi,
I have got a broken U20i which i want to repair, if possible.
Do not know anything about the history of the phone and what has caused the damage.
The led does not work, when it is started it comes a short vibration and afterwards for several seconds the backlight of the display.
The backlight returns every 20 seconds, and it seems that the accu is charged - that is all it does.
With SEUS and PC Companion updates are possible without any problems.

It was possible to unlock the bootloader and to flash the kernel with Flashtool and to set it back to fabricmode with SEUS.
After each procedure the phone does not start.
I tested the touchscreen and the display - both are working.
Is there anything to do exept jtag?

I don't think a jtag will do you any good since flashing kernels and firmware seems to work fine, and all a JTAG does is force the phone to accept factory firmware, something you have already done with seus.
The little vibration is the standard indicator that the phone is turning on and you can release the power-button, so that's normal too.
I guess there is a hardware fault somewhere. It may be something very simple like the flex that connects the screen to the rest of the phone (the motherboard and battery etc. is all underneath the keyboard on the u20) and it is the most common cause of failure on that phone. If you can see visible damage to that then that would be my first port of call.
But I can't guarantee that that will fix the problems the phone has. I wish you good luck with it though, I love these little phones and there's nothing else like it on the market.
Thanks for your answer.
The flexcable is broken.
Now I have changed the flexcable and the u20i nearly works fine.
During the repair I disabled the wlan-antenna.
Can anybody tell me (or even better show me) where I can find this antenna?

i think after installed a recovery files the phone than it changed to e10i, and after that the pc companion dont fix my phone anymore and show that message.
how can i change it back to e10a?
before getting errors i did root the phone, installed xrecovery, and installed Cyanogenmod 2.3.7 using recovery, after that the phone stucks on SE logo and show me that is e10i now.
baseband is M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006
i think it is my error
Try flashing the stock ftf file using flashtool :-/
