i also have this problem.since i flashed the firmware in that link, my SI number in my phone and the software do not match. i want my SI number back for the warranty of my phone. any solution other than editing a firmware?

I tried to backup an restore on another phone but it didn't work, the phone didn't work properly.
So I think wotan is the only available way right now

As u might know se-****-us has lock a new firmware..so I wont reflash my phone to a new software..and I'll lost root access if I do that..what should I do mate..copy ur build.prop then using root explorer than update with seus?
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
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

[Q] restore to factory settings is it safe ?

hi i'm sending off my x10 for repair tomorrow (usb port) and i have xrecovery installed allong with busy box will restoring factory setting through the phone uninstall xrecovery. as i want to get rid off all traces. also does anyone knows how the warranty works on the x10 as i had it repaired by vodafone and im not sure if they voided the warranty, this time im sending it to se (flashed uk generic) i cant see any warranty sticker.
thanks
Factory reset just resets/cleans data... so busybox/superuser/xrecovery will not be removed!!!
If u can use flashtool then flash to a firmware of ur region and don't root after that...
sent from FreeX10_beta4+CM6 settings
Or you can use SEUS to do a repair and put your phone back to it's "factory state"
i cant use seus or flashtool as the usb port is broken i have root explorer installed anyway i can do it using that

ok good...
provide the following details:
1] which model of X10 do u have? X10 (came pre-installed with 1.6) or X10HD (came pre-installed with 2.1)?
2] X10i or X10a?
3] was ur phone operator-branded (Rogers/etc) or unlocked?
4] wht is the current baseband on ur phone?
me n rendeiro2005 are working on something specifically for such cases... (users who are having broken USB connectors and are unable to use flashtool)... our work is still in progress... but we should be completed soon...
This is the best news ever, it was branded x10i Vodafone UK it came with 1.6. im currently running UK generic current baseband 2.0.46 which I flashed ages ago to get the 2.1 update. I wont send it off tomorrow in case se get a bit miffed with all the stuff installed I wish you best of luck with your project it will be a god send for most users
so u have a X10 (not X10HD)...
since ur BB is 2.0.46 i am guessing u have the FW 2.0.A.0.504 ?
have u used the:
Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.0.A.0.504 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 ?
Yes thats correct fw but I used the build prop method to debrand.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
em ok... if u can upload the original build.prop file i can try to include it in the project we are working on... so u will have a branded rom...
Which build prop as I only have the one im running UK debranded or I could change it using root explorer and upload that
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
upload the one which u want when u finally send the phone for repairs in ur region...
Right so Vodafone is the one I want tomorrow when I get access to my pc ill upload it
Thanks again
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
btw the project is not yet complete... so it might take some time for it to work... also there is no guarantee that it will work 100%... we are trying to make it as clean as possible based on whtever knowledge we have...
Yeah sound I understand its a work in progress.

yes, but which firmware?
wotanserver.newusersnotallowedtopostlinks/en/sony-ericsson/se/xperia-ray-st18/4-0-2-a-0-62/language-download
they list all versions as having the same languages (which probably is not the case)
just download the original firmware and flash it using flashtool

yeah thanks just need to register... (not pay) i use your 2.3.4 actually.. it give me ability to upgrade in .62 without loosing root... and now "bonus" PCC ask me to upgrade ICS centraleurope version... just all i need with a downgrade :d
Hi,
I have a xperia neo....with rooted stock firmware .62 and unlocked bootloader (testpoint method)...I have taken a nandroid backup of it
I just wanted to try out ics...so planning to update using PCcompanion
Before updating...i just want to know
1. whether it's possible to downgrade to gb through cwm nandroid restore? Do I need to flash the kernel for .62 after the nandroid restore ?
2. will root access be restored after the downgrade? Since .62 is cannot be rooted, I'll have to flash .42 to get root access
I don't want to start restoring all the installed apps...hence thinking of using nandroid backup against flashtool
heres a video on how to :
SIMPLEST WAY TO DOWNGRADE TO 2.3.4 factory firmware
...Hi, hope i can help you after i spent myself days looking to root or flash my device, with no luck. There is just 3 simple steps to follow and you are done. Trust me its working fine:
1. Go To: (http thing) i cant link as new user...//androidadvices.com/downgrade-sony-xperia-arc-official-gingerbread-23-firmware/2/ and download 2 files (flashtool and Xperia Arc S firmware package... works for xperia arc, arc s, pro, etc). This is the Gingerbread 2.3.4
2. Unzip, install and start (as admin) Flashtool, then COPY XPERIA ARC S FIRMWARE PACK (is a .ftf file) INTO Installed Flashtool, FIRMWARE Folder (PASTE inside), START FLASH, choose FLASHMODE, follow on screen steps.
P.S. When restart your phone in FLASHMODE: With the phone turned off, press and HOLD BACK button, while connect USB, next seconds, you'll get the GREEN Light(phone) and flashing begins.
3. ENJOY your new installed GINGERBREAD 2.3.4 Firmware
P.S. ...NO ROOT REQUIRED... ...and yes, i know there are more than 3 steps... so? still works great. GOOD LUCK

Flash global, edit build.prop to replace cdf number with your correct one (you did an original back up right?)
Then do a repair from pcc, you'll be back where you were

Unlikely, that's one of the benefits of s1tool, you could always relock fix then unlock

Hi, my father have Neo V with adroid 2.3 and he can't install offiacial update branded by his provider. So is there way to install offical ICS update without rooting phone? (downlad update and put it into sues or something...)
Thanks.
Why can he not update via seus or PCCompanion? What does the error say when he tries that.

"You have the newest system"
Then root is needed, download flashtool, root, flash stock ICS .ftf file and your done.
Find flashtool link in the stickies I the dev section.

@gregbradley: erm, why he need root?
@Corn Flake: make sure you store your original CDF customization number, just in case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604559
You don't need root.
Just download flashtool, and the corresponding .ftf firmware file for your device.
Then flash it to your device using Flashtool.

20 seconds googling. If its the wrong one I could have spent 21 seconds and gone to the second search hit.
Backup your father phone and use SEUS to upgrade to ICS. (all data will lost)
Sony PC Companion sometime can't download the rom.
OTA update can't upgrade 2.3 -> 4.0

Have you read posts before replying? He said that he have latest software. So no seus will help him in that.
