If you're still locked bootloaded, You can update your rooted x10 first to official 2.3.3GB via SEUS/Sony PC Companion to get latest 2.1.71baseband and semc kernel, most customs needs 2.1.71baseband requirement anyway. So save your work time little. And yes, you need to root again but for best use suitable flashtool for root 2.3.3 once updated. Then you will be able get xrecovery installed for your X10 after rooted and done installing it. My signature link got those tutorial pdf, necessary tool download links. Although older version, but safer Feel free visit them, and if they're helpful, please kindly hit thanks in thread, for keeping them alive for future newcomers Cheers and goodluck.
Sincerely,
Whitefang
SEUS/Sony PC Companion can't update my phone. It says my phone is up to date

Are you on AT&T? If so then use this to get off 1.6 and onto 2.1 then you can install custom roms

theres no recovery for 1.6
why dont you just flash ftf file via flashtool to get to 2.3.3 ?
You may like to use the below. Actually I prefer it.
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/
Very simple way. Start updater... it will ask u to switch off your phone and connect by pressing back button... the rest it will do...
See the screenshot, i can't update via update tool. Please read any topics fully before you reply on any topic... don't get hurry to get thanks button..

Hello i have tried 2 different methods of installing xRecovery.
First i have tried simply using flashtool to install xRecovery, but just gets stuck on Remounting system read-write.
Second i downloaded the zip file of xRecovery (Gingerbread) And put files into the respective folders using root explorer. Still no luck
Am i missing something? Thanks in advance
Yeah, there's two methods regarding how to get xrecovery onto GB does require a bit of youtube watching but i found it the easiest way of doing this 0.3 xrecovery version alone will not give u it you will need an additional zip to obtain it. If you head into the x10 general section look for the sticky how to flash custom roms for noobies (im a noob also) it will tell you step by step to get every working from backing up to xrec to flashing roms to restoring apps there will be 3 youtube vids in the first post vids 1 and 2 will tell you what u need to know the third is mainly for the rom.
like i said there's two ways of doing it the second way which i had to do was via computer using command prompt but as i said watch the vids they have all links on the youtube channel.
Hope this helps and good luck.
Yes I hace viewed the videos but it installs xrecovery through the apk which when I use it says that the folders exist and have the no symbol when I press install

Have u tried the method by bluejchip I think his name is to get xrec on? He uses the command prompt method that's how I did it. I think I used xrec 0.2 not 0.3.. I can get the link if u like?

ok i've a few querstions?
1. Are you rooted? ( Perhaps yes? )
2. Have ever installed custom ROM or on stock ROM?
CMW or clock work mod recovery is a tool which enables you to install roms and apps and much more at the boot time..
if you haven't perform backup and installed cmw then only thing left would be to flash cmw and reset factory.. or you can flash official stock ics firmware ( download here ) via flash tool.... you didn't understand fully, right? yeah its common among newbies... reply me and i'll tell you what to do next,,,
now i understand...
ok, i'll try to flash

Just search for the ftf of your land on google and flash it with flashtool.
Or try restoring origianl software using pc comapnion or sony ericsson update service...#
BTW: Did you unlock bootloader? Cause then your warranty is void, and to flash firmware using flashtool bootloader unlock isn't necessary!

if not, put it on "sony ericsson update service" and flash the original firmware to start completely new, or
flash another custom kernel and out of thats recovery a new firmware.
if you did flash , download the stock kernel and do the same as above
for stock kernel search in xda: dixperia 7, there.in OP you will find it.

Hi all! At the beginning sorry for my english
I have similar problem:
I've rooted and unlocked bootloader in xperia x10i - everything was fine. Then I've tested some custom roms, and after flashing some custom ICS I've noticed a problem with signal, so i've decided to install stock firmware. Unfortunately someting gone wrong and phone was bricked so the only option was to use Update Service to repair phone. After that: My Polish simcard from Orange is not recognized and there is "no service" issue. British simcard (3 network) is recognized but I've got also no service/full signal with "emergency calls only". On both cards phone is detecting network providers but cannot login to any network (your sim card does not allow connection to this network).

flashtool screen:
so, the telephone is rooted, i have no signal, and no possibilities to restore earlier system because of impossibility to install cwm/xrecovery, sim certificate is not recognized (date signs on the back of a phone "10w14")
Is there anything i can do?

*someone should really remove those old tools and recommend unlocking by flash tools alone because this is happening to too much users*
Try flashing over 2.3 and doing the process over again and from now on avoid that program and only us flashtools.

I believe its answered in very detailed manner in some threads! Why don't you read that first?
And to say the gist,
Flash. 562 kernel
Root using rooting kit
Flash. 587 kernel
Done! You've rooted your phone!

The easiest way to root a Xperia mobile is as following
First unlock bootloader that you can do using official Sony site
Then instal Flashtool from androxide's official site
Then instal it on your PC . Go to c drive of your PC, then you will see a folder named Flashtool there you will see a folder named drivers instal drivers of Xperia mini x10 ( as it is same as your live with Walkman)
Download rage kernel from net its a custom kernel which has CWM and su binaries .copy it to your desktop
Now connect your mobile in your PC with holding volume up button a blue led will glow showing your mobile in fastboot mode. If it is win 7 it will install ADB drivers by itself if it is win xp then download PDA net on PC and install it it has ADB drivers.
Now after all this the rooting is very easy it won't result in bricking as it is the safest method
Connecting you phone in fastboot mode click open Flashtool and then click flash icon on top left select fastboot mode then another page will open select kernel to flash . Browse kernel it will be boot.img which you have kept on desktop select and Flashtool will automatically instal it in your device. Check the log. It will say reboot your device. Then take it out and start tour phone. It will show blue led after boot press volume up or down you will see cwm recovery.
Means you have rooted phone

Hey bro, what do you exactly want? Your image is not appearing, try re-uploading it. And if you are asking how to unbrick the phone, then just flash a stock ROM using the flashtool by connecting the phone in fastboot mode. Or if you are asking how to install the update, then you will have to download the FTF and flash it using flashtool. But then you will loose root access. No worries, root it again using the root toolkit bu DoomLord, it's available in the development section. Or if you mean to say something else, feel free to reply.

You are mistaken. The update is of huge 650MB. But I upgraded to it from ICS. So maybe if you are on JB you will find this a short update.
The update have minor bug fixes and the phone is less laggy now. The dialer scroll issue is gone. But there's a problem with the camera app now. Sometimes green and black lines come on to the screen while clicking the photo. Although they don't appear on the photo. I am facing GPS and network issues also. But they are not being experienced by everyone. Feel free to update because you can always flash the old ROM.
album and walkman
