Hello
I just want to ask about flashing another custom rom on my phone,
i already got this phone with a custom rom and kernel, and the back cover of my phone had a NTT DOCOMO SO-01B logo..
I am a noob on flashing Sony Ericsson phone
model number: X10i
Adnroid Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: 2.1.71
Kernel version: [email protected] #21
Build number: Wolf_Xperia_4.0.4c
and i want to try the rom "X10S"
what i should do first?

THANKS!
Make a backup using recovery.Then read the thread of the rom you have chosen.Then you will see the bugs/fixes the rom has.Then if your happy,follow the instructions the developer has posted about kernel/bootloader etc.

thanks sir. i do will read the instruction for the flashing instructions, but there are any chances that my phone will got bricked? or just i need to back up rom first?
and i'm a noob here so i cannot post on the thread
You can run into situations that the phone seems bricked-but it aint.You should also bookmark guides on using flashtool,pc companion to save time if your stuck.
Ive had almost all the errors,it sometimes takes hours to get phone and data back.......
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
data lost is not a problem for me, so what do you recommend first to do aside from back up my phone?
You need to install flashtool and understand how to use it.Then you can see about maybe unlocking bootloader/installing kernel and rom.
Ive not looked at the rom thread you want,but some of them threads have 2000 posts......

i do know how to follow those steps i've s-offed an htc ang flashed custom rom on it..
i do want to know what is the other compatible or further steps before flashing a custom rom. coz i am afraid messing it up since i already got it with a custom rom and kernel.,
i read some tutorial flashing kernel but i didn't see one for a x10i docomo unit,.
You maybe better wait to see if someone knows about your model of x10i.I think I have seen it listed in pc companion,so there is a difference between that and like my x10i-maybe its software opposed to hardware.
But since its running custom stuff currently-you should be able to put other stuff on.......
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
I've Google on what is the difference with x10i and x10a, it something to do with the 3g signal, x10i uses different bandwidth because it is released in japan and other country..
anywyas, thanks for your help! , i'll just wait for the other help..
You can have a look here and see if theres anything of any use to you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726828
I've tried the X10S on my X10i and it worked fine... at least it didn't brick it... some xda experts believe that this phone is unbrickable... and since you say that u know how to flash roms and firmwares u shouldn't worry...
thanks to your response, i am afraid to flash because it might not be compatible with the kernel? did you changed your kernel first? what kernel are you using?

Well, Docomo is just the Japanese market version of X10, but I think it is more like an X10a as it doesn't have the 1700 MHz band of the X10i. And you already have Wolfs v4 which is a pretty old ROM, so just head on over to Champs thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516960 and bring your X10 into 2012. Maybe start with v7, and enjoy. There ara also some neat kernels here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1564056 . Just look for the one for "Stock"

thanks!
can you provide me a little quick guide on what did you do on your x10?
i mean does it require first to change my kernel? or x10s rom will work in my current kernel?
i admit it is more tricky to work with Sony Ericsson phones than htc
======
And i do got a little problem
i identify my info from s1tool, and my bootloader is locked " R "..
and my simlock is not recognized, my be it is unlocked by other software or method..
the only way to unlock my bootloader is to simunlock buy setool? weew!
my one last question is can i flash x10s rom to my phone using my current kernel?
Can anyone can answer me?
thanks in advance!

1: root device
2: install recovery
3: unlock bootloader (optional of course)
4: flash a kernel in xrecovery (locked bl) or thru flashtool (unlocked bl)
5: flash rom of choice
Thats the best way to do it if u just got phone (4 & 5 can be swapped round) if u followed order above but turned on phone after 4 yet before 5 u may need to wipe dalvik cache. also dont confuse bl unlock with sim unlock bl unlock will NOT mean u can put any sim card in the device

If you like Wolfs rom you will love Champs X10s

Im no expert but it seems that the x10 IS unbrickable.
Last week after too many beers i flashed the wrong kernel/rom combo and lost access to xrecovery. Phone was stuck on start up logo.
Flashtool (I love flashtool) couldnt 'see' my phone - Panic set in
After lots of xda thread searching and reading i found the wotanserver flasher...

I can just see X10_1.0_SE_StockRom_MultiTouch rom in my firmware folder. But any 2.1 generic would do. I wonder why you have issues. I had x10i and you are having x10a. So i hope you flashed x10a rom. Next thing have you enabled USB debugging. Sometimes the antivirus creates problems with adb. So try stopping ur antivirus or else use a different pc.
I hope you are using this tool for unlocking

OK Congrats. I dont know whether you have flashed a custom kernel after unlocking. (if u see sony ericsson at booting, it means u haven't, but that dosent mean you have a locked bootloader). Now restore/flash a pre rooted ginger bread rom via xrecovery. Then you can flash any Roms here. There are hell lot of updates coming here in android development section.

Did you flash the .71 baseband after you flashed Gingerbread firmware, otherwise you will get an error stating no sim and no imei no. Dont go for overclocking at this stage. Start from normal versions, let your phone be stable then you can go for overclocking.

is your phone in contract or simunlocked?
I have the same problem. i played with my phone. The phone wasn't locked to a specific operator( i yhink it was unlocked - is a SH Phone). The ideea is that i played with s1tool and everythinh was ok, i flashed the phone, i installed a new room (m&m, but with another kernel, nmot the one recomanded), after that the phone did not boot, i reflashed the phone with diffrent kernels(my mistake) and after that the s1tool told me "NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE". I installed a rom for locked bootloader with doom kernel, but now my phone doesen't see my network anymore -please insert sin card and restart. AAA.. before that i used SEUD and installed the default room - my phone was capable to see the available networks but it keeps told me - please insert sim card and restart. Now i have the MUI rom with doom kernel (both for looked bootloader - the version with the xrecovery installer), and my phone doesn't see the networks anymore.
Could you help me pls!
Thanks.

Guys,
You have some mistakes:
First unlocking bootloader that somewhere harm your device.
Second flashing another kernel instead of recommended one.
Third you don't pay attention enough to installing rom's procedures.
It is important to use the specific kernels that rom maker tells us.
Good luck all..
Sent from my X10 using xda premium
I used SEUS and put the stock rom ... the phone still not recognize my card, but it can see the available networks. I have one question. If i use SEUS when i install the rom it install the specific kernel or the phone keep the one that i installed?
It installs the specific kernel of stock rom..
Sent from my X10 using xda premium
Ok. Somehow i fixed my problem. That's what i've done:
I used SEUS and i installed the stock rom. Then I installed flashtool (try to do a fresh install of flashtool if you allready have it installed) i installed the busybox and then i used the bootloader unlock from plugins menu. After i unlocked my bootloader the phoen saw my network immediatley. I supose that everyone else that have this problem have the bootloader locked or they tried to unlock the bootloader and didn's succeed.
I hope this will help someone. GoodLuck!
Hi, I'm a noob here and in android platform.
So I bought this sk17i and it has 2.3.4 4.0.2.A.0.62
I was trying to root it fails and from what I've read around here it's because of 4.0.2.A.0.62? is there a work around with that?
thanks
I didnt try it, but an older official kernel should work as mentioned here:

if you have an unlocked bootloader, you can also flash this here:

by the way I was trying to use modded kernels but I always get this:

Isn't it the whole firmware? I had seen in some forum(I think it was sonyericsson's support forum) Xperia arc's kernel (only kernel) was available. It was a zipped file, only around 4-5mb.
Isn't something like that available for our phone. I searched a lot, but didn't find it.

Unlock bootloader is different than flashing the fw although it is related if you want to flash the custom ROM (and custom kernel of course such as rage or krsh kernel).
Google "unlock bootloader+sony ericsson" to find the website where you can get the key to do so.
Im using stock .62 fw with unlocked bl becoz i want to use custom kernel with prerooting as .62 cant be rooted by superoneclick and i dont mind on the effect to the warranty. Somemore, cm ROM isnt stable enough.
In other words, you can flash stock ROM with stock kernel even if you dont unlock bootloader but if you want to flash custom kernel or custom ROM or both, bl had to be unlock or else you will stuck at S.E words during boot.

If you're angry
I'm Really sorry
I damaged my phone
I am confused
I do not know what to do
No Im not angry.You are probably better getting your phone back to stock stuff until you know a bit more about flashing/rooting/roms etc.
You only learn by reading then doing the mods.Then you know to make a backup so when you try something new,and theres a problem,you run the backup and its fixed quickly.
If you cant reflash the kernel,you can run pc companion.There are guides on here how to do it(see posts by me and milton.bain) because people are connecting the phone TOO EARLY and it doesnt work.

HI evryone,
I am just a beginner using android for few months... My device is Xperia X10 Mini pro U20i..
I tried to upgrade to MIniCM9 3.0.1 from CM7 (CM7 was working wel, i just wanted to upgrade)..
I downloaded MiniCM9-3.0.1 [5/5/12]ICS 4.0.4/CM9 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636501
I wiped cache, user data and dalvik cache n tried to install CM9 rom.. It installed successfully, but I received a warning message. 'Should have kernel flashed to atleast ics-nAa 01' like dat...
But when i rebooted, it didnt go beyond d Sony Ericsson logo.. I went back to stock 2.1 using SEUS..
Then I rooted mobile using SuperOneClick 1.6.5 n rooted successfully. But wen i flashed the kernel 'U20_nAa-ics_01_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-01.ftf' or 'U20_nAa-ics_01_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-02.ftf' from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636504, it couldnt flash.. I get an error ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"..
I tried flashing with flashtool 0.2.9.1 and with flashtool 0.7.1.0 but i couldnt get it done..
Can anyone help me with dis? Why do i receive dat error message? How can I upgrade to CM9??
While upgrading to CM7, I never flashed my device. I just rooted it, installed xrecovery n cleared factory data, disk cache, dalvik cache n installed d rom... So, is there any similar way to install CM9 also without using flashtool?
Thanks..
You need a custom kernel for MiniCM9, and the reason you can not flash this kernel is because your bootloader is locked. In the kernel thread there is a link to the tutorial on unlocking your bootloader, but please be careful, it doesn't work for everyone
Thanks for dat...
Is there a way we can install CM9 on U20i without unlocking bootloader?
Also, plz tell, does SEUS work after unlocking bootloader?
No you can't install MiniCM9 on anything other than the nAa-ICS kernel, and for that you need an unlocked bootloader
Yes, seus or pc companion will still work with an unlocked bootloader. the worst that can happen when unlocking the bootloader is that you will lose the ability to use your phone as a phone (disabled radio-capabilities). Check if it still works before flashing a kernel and custom rom, if it doesn't relock the bootloader and stay on stock kernel.
How to relock Bootloader? Link for U20i Stock Kernel..
Oh. Thanks a lot..
How to relock bootloader? I saw in a forum somewhere that there s no way to relock bootloader..
Also I tried to download the stock kernel for U20i from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225... They have given the link for downloading the stock kernel as http://db.tt/ukt80PBn
But the link doesnt work. I have searched many times but could neither open it nor find alternative link.. Can u plz tell any alternative link for it?
Thanks so much for ur responses..
First of all, you can relock your bootloader using S1Tool (by pressing the restore button), but if it is succesfully unlocked there is no need to relock it at all, unless you need to take it back to the shop for repairs under warranty.
(I can't remember where i got the latest version of S1tool from, i'll search for it later if you need it)
as far as the stock kernel is concerned, just do a repair with pc companion or maybe seus, i usually use pc companion. it won't relock your bootloader but will install a fresh stock kernel and rom. After that you can root, install recovery or cwm whatever you used and restore the backup you hopefully made of your MiniCM7 rom.
Mind you: At this moment Minicm9 is not an upgrade yet in the sense that it will make your phone work better or easier, it's still very early in development and not that easy to get working well, if you need your phone on a day-to-day basis, stick with MiniCM7 for now.
Thanks a lot for that info..
I hav no complaints wid CM7. I just wanted to upgrade to ICS since it is out there.
I'll try unlocking bootloader n cm9. I'll go back to cm7 if it doesnt work or if it isnt suited for day-to-day operations..
Thanks so mch for ur help.. I ve understood a lot.. Thanx again.. :-D
If u find d link for S1tool, kindly post it..

If you want to run MiniCM7, by nAa, you need to unlock your bootloader and flash the nAa GB kernel (currently at version 13).
If you want to run MiniCM7Pro, you can run it without a custom kernel and without unlocking your bootloader.
They are two different ROMS with almost the same name, i can understand why that can be a bit confusing
MiniCM7Pro
Thank you very much SmG67, for your fast and valuable reply. Am a newbie here and I am trying to learn the things.Your information is really cleared my fear about bricking. I have few doubts to share with you sir,
What is the main difference between minicm7 and minicm7pro ?
If I opt minicm7pro now, then Can I upgrade or install minicm9 later ?
Minicm7pro by Bpaul is not giving any instruction for how to install it. So where can I get the instructions

Minicm7Pro was a port to the x10mini-pro from early MiniCM7 for the x10-mini, but it got updated to the latest Gingerbread, while still working with the stock kernel, minicm7 was released later and moved to the nAa-custom kernel, which gave it some performance benefits.
If you can unlock your bootloader, you can flash any kernel and rom you like that is available for your phone, but MiniCM7Pro or ArcMini Nxt (which runs on just about any kernel) are good places to start anyway.
for installing MiniCM7Pro you need:
2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware with *4015 baseband (check Settings - About Phone, the baseband should end in 4015)
Rooted phone
ClockWorkMod Recovery
Copy the MiniCM7Pro zip to your sd-card
Boot into CWM (press back-button on the kernel-logo)
Do a backup
Install the ROM
Wipe factory-data/reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache (in CWM advanced)
Wipe Batttery Stats (in CWM advanced)
Reboot and enjoy
MiniCM7Pro
Thank you very much, and I am now looking into how to install it on my device.Because minicm7pro thread is not giving any step by step instruction to install it. I am really appreciating your help. Good day
@ SmG67
Thank you very much for your advice's and I upgraded my x10 mini pro to android 2.3.7 ( cm7 pro) . I really appreciating your help on this regard. I was out of station for a while,and that's the reason for this late reply.My phone is working without any problem except wifi hotspot, It will show turning on and continue that status without actually turning it on when I am trying to enable it.Although its not a big headache or function for me.so its okay.Once agin thanks.Good day
MiniCM 7 pro to ICS
@ SmG67
hi... My x10 mini pro running on Minicm7 pro by paul and stock kernel.I installed it according to your advice and I appreciating your helping words. Now I would like to move to ICS rom and nAa kernel. I have few doubts regarding installation.
1. Do I need to go back to old 2.1 factory ROM before flashing ics and ics nAa kernel ?
2. If yes, How can I install old SE rom ?
3. Can I install MiniCm9 over JB nAa kernel ? because it will reduce my job when am moving to ics to JB rom
Thx

1. No
2. 1 was a no, so no need for that
3. No, it won't work.
For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
Thank you SmG67....I checked my device with s1tool and found " SEMC SIMLOCK CERTFICATE " then forwarded to flash tool. But I faced an issue and my flashing halted. When I am connecting my phone it will detect and showing INFO : For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode ....then going to charging mode....Dont know whats the reason ? :crying:
For your info : I installed all x10,x8,x10 mini pro ADB drivers, fastboot drivers, Flashmode drivers etc. USB debugging is ON, unknown sources is enable......my flashtool version was 0.6.8.0 .

Our phone is 2010 device so don't worry about the mtp mode thingy
Your lfashing halted because you didn't unlock your bootloader yet.
Connect your phone to flashtool
Choose Únlock bootloader' in the plugins menu
Follow Instructions
Flash the kernel
You should be fine
