Im having some issues with my x10i that i put Nordic 2.1 on a few weeks ago.
Some apps fail to open every now and then, and the stock android alarm doesnt work (the app seems fine, but when the alarm goes off there is no noise, yes ive tried volume etc, yes ive tried downloading a 3rd party alarm)
So id like to put a fresh 2.1 rom on, ive tried these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825675
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827065
But i cant get them to work, the .bat files of the flasher fail at the connection stage (2nd step after selecting windows vr)
Im having a lot of problems,, main one is that i cant install the driver for the x10 in flash mode, windows cant find the driver.
If anyone could kindly tell me exactly what i have to do, starting from connecting the x10 to a virgin win xp (no drivers installed for the x10), id be happy to donate $20USD into your paypal account
Ok let me see if I can help you a title here....
1. Root your device using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=453551&d=1291188836 its really simple and fast...
2. Once you've root your device use this application http://www.mediafire.com/?ewf9e41ybw2eazz
to install the Xrecovery menu on your phone... It's very simple as well....
3. Download this file http://hotfile.com/dl/87564842/7e80127/SE_update-shipped-full.zip.html
and save it to your SD Card into any folder you want, I recommend you to do it in a new one with any name you want, that will make easier the next step...
4. Reboot your phone and right after the white letters with Sony Ericsson logo appear press the back key a few times , if the Xrecovery menu has been installed correctly you will see a weird image of and Android with troll face lol... and a bunch of options like reboot, install update zip etc....
5. Choose Install Custom Zip and then go to the folder you created with the downloaded zip file... from step 3... Then select it and click in yes... Wait for a few minutes and when the phone tells you done click on reboot and wait for the firmware to load...
6. Enjoy the SE 2.1 firmware with JIT enabled.
7. Read your inbox...

Put XP in safemode, run seus, put phone in flashmode when prompted so it installs the drivers, try the flashtool again, while in safemode on XP.
Or if you'd rather go for something simpler.. try rooting (if you haven't already) then follow this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828163 to flash to global generic.
i cant even get the phone to tunr on atm, but if i get it to work ill send $20 ur way jimbo, thanks everyone
jimbo, actually your links are broken so i cant follow your guide cause u just say "use this application" - but link is down
ok, i found a new link for that one, but i cant install it cause when i connect my phone to the pc, it just starts charging, it wont mount the sd??
"If anyone could kindly tell me exactly what i have to do, starting from connecting the x10 to a virgin win xp..."
ok i put xrecovery on the sd card through a pc, installed the app and ran the app, clicked Install Xrevovery, error
already have root access, xreovery was granted superuser, but doesnt work
tried the new root app just in case, it just switched off my phone... none of this works
does anyone live in Sydney and can do it for me????
Have you installed BusyBox too?
Tried out both these sets of instructions:
http://androidadvices.com/root-motorola-atrix-4g-45141-gingerbread-236-firmware/2/
http://www.androidauthority.com/atrix-4g-android-2-3-6-firmware-4-5-141-root-63533/
None of them since I can't even get past step one with the command lines. The command prompt won't recognize either saying "[name] is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.
When I rooted while I was using 2.3.4, I had no issues doing it manually this way. I'm at my wits end. Don't know if it's a problem on my end or just the result of Motorola intentionally trying to make it hard to root and unlock this phone(apparently rooting also voids the warranty with them).
http://www.android-advice.com/2012/root-the-motorola-atrix-4g-running-4-5-141/
Thanks. Those are the same instructions in the first link though. Anyways. I managed to get past the first step by simply going to the folder and holding down shift and right clicking to get the command prompt to open the file from that location. Don't know why it wouldn't work the other way. After that I entered
moto-fastboot.exe flash preinstall preinstall.img

Now it's just stuck saying < waiting for device > which could mean it's a problem with the drivers. I did install the usb drivers from here:
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
Don't know if there's a step I'm missing from that or if I have to do something manually form there since I went into the device manager and my computer couldn't detect anything for them so I assume they're up to date. Let me know if you if you need me to be more specific about something.

Did you try just fastboot instead of moto-fastboot? I had to use fastboot the other day and that held me up. But if its waiting for devices then it possibly is a driver issue. Im on the xda app so going to the link you provided wont work for me. Trying uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers.
Yeah I just did fastboot. Didn't even know if there was a moto-fastboot. How do I uninstall the drivers? I went through my applications but couldn't find them on my computer.

Go to device management of the computer and under usb should be your phone (when plugged in). If you aren't seeing it, then the drivers didn't install correctly. I can't remember where I got my drivers from to point you in the direction for that.
Alright thanks so far. It says the drivers aren't installed when I look them up in the manager. Don't know what I'm doing wrong, but if you could post the link when you get the chance then that would be helpful.
Just to clarify the one I'm referring to is "Motorola ADB Interface". "MB860" has everything current on it.

Its "soft-brick" state.
Didnt you have some problems with usb before?
If not, try to charge up your phone once again.
Then read this topic, It will surely help you:

Even if phone shows up error triangle you should be able to use standart flash mode.
About fastboot dont know, never used it.

No problem, it could be done, but not so simply. I did rooting and xrecovery installation without Flashtool many times since Flashtool werent possible torun on Linux
Root could be done with exploit zergRush; but try SuperOneClick first. It will take some time root it completely manual.
Same with xrecovery, but its much more simple, pasting three or four files to root FS.
Try superoneclick first, if it wont help, will provide more step by step information.
EDIT:
Simpliest solution - almost forgotten
Download the zip provided underthis post.
Extract the zip file.
Connect your phone to computer (remember, that USB debugging must be on!!!)
Run file runme.bat (command line window will appear).
Enjoy !

RELAX first.
You will have to flash the stock SE firmware is by using the X10 Flashtool i .e. get your phone to stock and then root it again.
Here's a video link to the procedure :

do you have USB debugging and unknown sources turned on your phone? Because its really strange why adb cant connect.
What ROM and kernel you are currently running on?
@dello what does ur pc say when u type adb devices?
Sent from my X10S using XDA
hi,
running the official rom and kernal that the SEUS installed running 2.3.3
and yes debugging mode and allow are both on but still says cannot connect to deamon, could it be the boot loader? i put ICS on a xperia play and did that fine, do i need to unlock the bootloader like i did with the play?
i did try to but the se website wont unlock it
and ADB in dos wont pick it up list empty

This is the hardest damn thing I have ever done.... trying to root the DNA. It is insane how hard it is, can someone PLEASE do a step by step on how to install Sense 5? Every walkthrough is just not helpful at all and doesn't make any sense.
Theres like 10000 steps and each step has 100 problems and I google the problems and get stuck at every step... I have rooted the S3 so easily w/ in 1 hour but this is just insane....
I know I need to 1) Unlock Bootloader 2) Root 3) S-off
I have tried every one of the above steps and am stuck at one point or another in every point.... Unlocking the bootloader I am stuck because my computer cant recognize my device in bootloader mode. When I type "fastboot oem readcid" it just gets stuck at "waiting for device" I have tried everything and it still doesnt recognize the device....Theres so many people with this problem but no solution.
Is there anyone around San Francisco that will upgrade me to Sense 5 for $20?
ok so first off does you phone have the OTA sofware.. settings>about>software... if your software has 2.04 in it then you won't be able to root at this time..
if your not on the OTA then you should be able to unlock>root>s-off
your obviously having driver issues.. what version of windows are you using?
here are the drivers that I use, i would uninstall all HTC Sync stuff and reboot (basically try and clean out any drivers that could be conflicting)
then try the drivers in this zip file.. I put the phone in bootloader mode first then attach to computer and when i asks about drivers point it to where you unziped the drivers below..
http://db.tt/kr11CT4d
check out the thread I wrote up on how to do this. You can follow all those steps and just use the Sense 5 ROM instead of the ViperDNA ROM I cite. You might have to flash the cubed kernel separately first if it's not packaged with the ROM, but that's not hard to do.
The "waiting for device" means you don't have adb setup correctly. 9 times out of 10 it's because you don't have the drivers. If you have the OTA update you can't unlock the bootloader yet.
Hi Guys,
I do not have the OTA Update, I am running Straight talk and got my phone like 4 months ago, never updated.
I am running Windows 8 on a Samsung Series 9.
I tried the drivers you linked above but I get the same error....see attached photo
I will try your walk though now. I like it a lot... I was about to give up.... nothing is worth this much trouble...Its like problem after problem after problem. lol
Thanks for the help..

I'm running windows 8 and just had to use a different USB port, 2.0 I think. Do you know how to boot in fastboot? Then did you download adb? There are a few simple commands to get id token, then copy, goto htcdev (google) paste your idtoken after you register. That's step one, unlock the bootloader, in the 1.15 FW
if you need help email me [email protected] Ill check in 5 minutes

I have to tell ya, if you're on 1.15FW get those drivers to work and unlock the bootloader, then root, and S-off if you like. You will be much happier.

Sweet, I'm happy and jealous. Hope everything else goes smooth. For your recovery I like CWMR-6.0.2.8. But to each his own. I'll check here in a little bit, I'm hoping someone figures out a way to unlock the bootloader or downgrade soon so I can be rooted once again.

Following the TUT is great, but sometimes when we download what we need it might be named different. Like mine is DNA.CWR6.img, so first I put that file in my adb folder, second in the cmd window I type "fastboot flash DNA.CWR6.img" OR do it how you are doing it but rename DNA.CWR6.img to recovery.img

Hi Guys,
Thanks so much for your help in getting me up and running esp you SHANENATAS. I love Sense 5, everything seems to work except MMS. I hope a port comes out for you guys soon!
I honestly think Sense 5 is by far the best rom I have used, it was actually the only one other than cyonogenmod 10 stock android that I considered going to.
The backgrounds are not included, but you can download those easily!
AWSOME upgrade! Funny thing is my windows 7 computer doesn't recognize the DNA now lol... oh well I already did what I had to so I dont need to use fastboot anymore. So in total it took about 30 hours to get this for a total non programmer! Tip to anyone attempting this is to do it on Windows 7, a lot less issues.
Lol havent eaten since 10am it is now 8pm because I have been working non stop on this; going to get dinner now. My girlfriend was wicked pissed off because I was supposed to buy ingredients to make chili with her but I never left the house.
Also guys please note if you are attempting this please install this version of Sense 5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184706
The previous versions would just crash when connected to wifi....
Thanks Everyone! Awsome walkthrough too, drumz0rz!!
Funny, my Windows 8 Sony Vaio has no problems in Fastboot, ADB etc. All the drivers loaded right up. Glad to hear you got everything going. Me, I'm waiting patiently for an unlock exploit for the OTA 2.04 fw. My replacement phone has the update.

Already fix this problem, do not launch sp flashtool after mct bypassing just launch sp flashtool after bypassing and so you will see the UART ports available

Hi Sandshadow, if you find the article on XDA forums by vagellis on unbricking a redmi note 9 it gives you well informed information on what your'e looking for. You'll need to find the folder called bypass. When opened you'll find a couple of files called 1st run this and 2nd run this.
Try either of these and you should get the result you're looking for.
Got a solution .. I encountered the same problem and I was as well getting a prompt on my PC saying "USB device unrecognized."
I did the bypass and since my phone won't be discovered by PC.. I held the volume down button and power button(Which opens fast boot traditionally), I heard the disconnecting and then connecting sound on the PC and the bypass terminal did its job with some lines on it...
It was saying "Press any key to continue" But I kept it open.
Went back to flash_tools.exe
It had directories already defined so it began the flash!
It happens 'cause the phone actually gets disconnected from PC!
