I recently picked up an Xperia X10 to use with my straight talk service. I rooted and unlocked the bootloader just fine using flashtool; edited the APN settings and have a functional phone. But, whenever I try flashing a new ROM, I get into some trouble. First, my wifi never works. I read that's a common thing and tried flashing the zip to fix it; no go. Secondly, I lose service with the new ROM; again, common thing, and I've found fixes. I'd try the kill services command through terminal emulator, but that brings me to my third issue. I lose access to my SD Card; it won't mount it at all with the new ROM, except for when I'm in xRecovery. I have an Xperia X10a from AT&T, running official Android 2.1. Firmware is 2.1.A.0.492 and baseband 2.1.65. I've tried various ROMs that are compatible with this baseband, including FreeXperia from Achotjan; all with the same results. Is it necessary to flash your baseband even if the ROM is verified for your current baseband? Am I missing some critical step here? Sorry if this is in the FAQs somewhere; I've read the stickies in here and the development section 3 or 4 times each (I get bored at work ), and didn't see it anywhere. TIA

I would suggest you upgrading 2.3.3.
You can find ftf files for 2.3.3 in my signature. unzip the files to get ftf.
You can flash american generic or global generic version. All will work for you.
flash the ftf using flashtool.
Here's a guide to use flashtool : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343

Download SEUS and upgrade your phone to stock gingerbread2.3.. it has the baseband required... then use flashtool to root and unlock....
Remember every custom ROM has different kernel... for example FDP ROMs run on FDP kernel.. x10s runs on doomlords modified kernel... feralab kernel is for feralab ROMs.. so you need to be careful.. good luck...

OK, I flashed the American gingerbread ftf. Everything appears to work except my SD card. I tried mounting through terminal, tries formatting from both the phone (xRecovery) and computer (USB adapter) and nothing. Suggestions?

which rom are u using?
i am guessing se stock 2.1? which baseband?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Bottom of the first post:
IMPORTANT:
- You should always wipe userdata if you switch between Android versions (1.6 <-> 2.1). If not your phone will keep restarting all the time. This is the same for some providerbrandings even if you flash between same Android versions. So if you have this restarting problem, flash again with Wipe Userdata. If you don't want to loose your apps you have to backup them with Titanium or some other backup tool!
Regards
Androxyde
Yeah that what i did. i never wiped userdata when i first used flash tool 1.6 branded orange uk -> 2.1 Global Generic
for some reason though the restarts have got worse as of late.
one thing though its been a while since i used flash-tool is the option to wipe user-data there? i know its in xrecovery
and if b wipe user data you mean like a master reset didn't everyone do this when they went to 2.1
Yeah, it's in the latest flash tool. When I first flashed from 1.6 to 2.1 Nordic, my phone would randomly freeze and then reboot. It was really annoying. However, when I upgraded to the newest 2.1 firmware(s) using the new flash tools it doesn't happen to me anymore. I guess it could be considered a master wipe, but I never factory reset my phone before doing it. Flash to the newest firmware and see if it fixes the problem.
Good Luck!
well after reflashing and doing everything by the book its still doing it so im getting another one
I don`t complete get it but i guess you`re on 2.1. Right?
I found that`s really strange.
I switch frequently to/from and vice-versa between 2.1/2.2/2.3x and between different basebands and never had any issue (apart when all this rom thing started a few months ago, cause they`re all instable at the time).
Try with latest flashtool available if you didn`t already.
Check on flashtool thread or on my how-to for firmwares.
Like i said. There`s no reason for that happen and even less if we`re talking of SE ones.

Hi all...
I just got my first Android phone... is an X10i...
I have version 2.1-update1 on it, and i tried 2 custom roms (2.2) with the install from SDcard.
After installing first rom (Froyo_2.2.1_xperia_TripNRaVeR-v1.0.zip) the result you can see it here: 220.ro/documentare/MOV01113/AVtgAccdjh/
After this, i instaled the 2nd rom (FreeX10-beta4.zip + gapps_FreeX10.zip); the result was: it work perfectly but after 30 seconds it was rebooting. it never stops.. the phone start again, and after 30 seconds , again reboot... and so on.
I must mention that the phone is SIM locked, and to work in my network i must unlock it... can this be a problem? if not can any one help me to fix this?
Or can anyone tell me where to find a custom rom that can be flashed with x10flasher? because when i install the rom from SDcard, is loading normally untill 50%, but when it reach 50%, he instantly go to 100%
Some info about my phone:
model: x10i
firmware: 2.1-update1
baseband: 2.1.54
kernel: 2.6.29
Can anyone tell me what is the problem and advice me what to do?

For now you can only flash stock 2.1 roms using the flashtool, everything else you have to use xrecovery.
As far as your phone being sim locked, I really don't think that's related to any of the issues you've mentioned.
Here's what I suggest:
- use the flashtool to flash it back to stock 2.1
- root
- install xrecovery
- try Wolfbreak's custom 2.2 rom from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945264
the instructions on the first post are kinda confusing but let me know if you have any other questions. Make sure to use the thanks button if any of this helps.
To install custom ROMs, your phone needs to be rooted and then install the ROMs via xrecovery.
Also for Trip's Froyo or Gingerbread ROM, it is preferable to on bb49..

i tried again all roms that i have downloaded until now from here, but unsuccessfully
I do not understand why, but ROMs are not installed correctly (i have root and xrecovery installed, i made factory restore, wipe cache, format cache, wipe dalvik cache).
so i think i will stay on 2.1
I was very enthusiastic when i got it, but i see that is not such a great phone with no official update for 2.2, and is low on internal memory (only 465MB data memory and 280MB RAM).

Reason for Reboot on MIUI is because you are on baseband 54 (i.e 2.1.54)....
Recommended baseband is 49, either you flash and change your bb or you can apply a patch... all the necessary help regarding bb is given in the link in my above post...
hope i was helpful
So which one do you want to use trip's froyo or Z's froyo? I hate to say this but I have a feeling it's something you're doing in between installs that could be causing the problem. I say pick one that you want to use/test, flash back to stock 2.1 using je flashtool, root, install xrecovery then flash just one of the custom froyo roms using xrecovery.

I have a bell Galaxy S2. Today I rooted it and after hours of confusion, I finally managed to install resurrection remix 4.04 ICS on my phone.
So far I've run into tons of issues:
1) No GPS
2) No wifi (stuck on 'obtaining IP address, unlikely that this is my network's fault)
3) No software buttons, so I can't multitask (have to use task killer to kill unused apps right now)
4) Rom Control crashes everytime I go into the Navigation bar page
The phone in it's current state is useable, but I will go back to stock settings if I can't fix these problems. Maybe there is a better ROM out there? Though I heard resurrection remix is the best one. Also, could it be that I installed the wrong kernel? The one I installed is:
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5
Can somebody help me out? Any tips would be appreciated.
EDIT: I just realized that USB connectivity (file transfer) doesn't work either - not even in clockwork menu!

Sounds like you might have flashed the wrong kernel for your phone.
did you first check what was the original kernel on your phone? acutally, run me through your root process so i can figure where you went wrong, because the Resurrection remix rom is just about perfect
I know it was KG2 kernel originally. Don't remember the other numbers.
I'm now on a different kernel because when I used KG2, the phone wouldn't work at all (the buttons were screwy).
The process went something like this:
1. Rooted KG2 kernel installed
>Phone still works like before, but rooted
2. Put Res remix rom on my phone's storage
3. Go into clockwork recovery
4. Flash/Recovery
Format /system
Wipe Cache
5. Install ROM from SD card - twice (since the video I was watching told me to do it twice)
>Phone turns on but the buttons don't work so I can't navigate menus
6. Install CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5
>Buttons sort of work now but lots of problems
>All of my old files/music are still on the phone despite all that format/recovery stuff. Is that normal?
Now when I try to install KG2 kernel phone doesn't even turn on. If it helps, the phone currently tells me the baseband is I9100MUGKG2
k, yep you missed the gapps install. did you make a backup in CMW recovery before you flashed remix?

Why not start with a working phone + a nandroid backup before you start playing with roms .
Stock rom + CWM and root kernel = Nandroid backup .
If CM does not work then read the CM thread faqs and instructions .

first of all get into reserection remix thread and ask whether this ROM supported for I9100M or not, if yes ask somebody can provide CWM flashable CM9 kernel (if it is the original kernel of your rom) then flash from CWM and try..

You might try an app that lets you set your GPS server, I'm not sure if they help though.

Sometimes you may need exact baseband from your own area/country for better voice signal and gps.
Try at your own risk if you are good enough in flashing kdz and taking cwm backup and restore.
1) Take CWM backup on external card in TAR format (your current 4.1 JB)
2) Flash 4.0.4 Italian KDZ which is actually made for your country. Root it and install CWM.
3) Start in CWM mode, WIPE ALL DATA/CACHE and Restore back your latest rom 4.1JB.
4) Optionally use FASTERFIX over this for setting accurate NTP server near you.
What exactly happens is, in second step you are flashing BASEBAND of Italy and in third step while restoring CWM Backup, baseband is not replaced, because CWM does not flash baseband. It restores only ROM and DATA.
This will definitely improve your Signal for Voice Call and GPS reception, because you will be using 4.1 JB rom (from any country) but on Baseband made for Italy.
This is based on my own experience from this thread where I use 4.1 JB rom made for CIS countries but have baseband from my own country 4.0.4 India P765V10G working in background hardware.
Hope this helps. I dont guarantee it will work for you, but I tried and it worked for me.

Sometimes you may need exact baseband from your own area/country for better voice signal and gps.
Try at your own risk if you are good enough in flashing kdz and taking cwm backup and restore.

Thanks a lot, I'll try it but just a question: if I flash the JB rom that is made for my country but not a an operator version? Because all operators have not update to JB. I found here an operator free version for Italy: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=18 . If I flash this .kdz it must install the BB too, right?
Thanks for answer and really sorry for my English
THANKS BUTTON PRESSED, OF COURSE

Nothing changed....((( I don't know what happened...
Have you tried to completely restore your phone using the official LGMobile Support Tool?
If you have modified the file "hosts" dont forget to delete or comment these two lines, anyway the link and the procedure dont work:
Code:
127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com
127.0.0.1 csmgdl.lgmobile.com
Restart your device in software update mode, run LGMobile Support Tool, clik Customer Support and then Recovery Phone
Keep in mind that this kind of recovery erase all data, even the internal sd card, so backup first..
If the gps issue persists it should be an hardware problem

Hey there,
I have a factory unlocked Samsung Galaxy SIII, international, GT-I9300, freshly rooted and using CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4::CF - v1.5.
Today I've flashed 2 custom ROMs, one after the other, by following some guides that I've found (cannot post yet links):
1. Android 4.3 via SuperNexus: URL hidden
and after the SuperNexus this one:
2. Android 4.3 via ParanoidAndroid 3.97 ROM: URL hidden
Managed to flash these two successfully, but with both of them I've faced the same problem during initial device setup: could not connect to my Wi-Fi network. Wi-Fi signal was strange too: strong, then suddenly weak. Could not authenticate and connect. :crying:
So, fortunately, made a backup before these two ROM flashes, so I guess I'm back with my stock Samsung TouchWizzy ROM (Android 4.1.2). That I hate. I want something bloatware free, stock-android feel, something like my Nexus 7 tablet.
Can you suggest me a "Wi-Fi capable" stock-like Android 4.3 custom ROM or am I missing something? Maybe a Radio flash (have no idea what's that) but maybe that what I was missing? And if I do that somehow, is that reversible? Never done it before.
Thank you in advance for any help and suggestion! :good:
love,

Im using CM 10.2 (4.3)and i dot have any problem whith wifi. I used before PacMan Rom and the same, no problem. Just try a full wipe. And try it again.

(1) did you do a full wipe including manual wipes of /system? If not do so and try again (mega wipe can be of help here)
(2) if this doesn't work, did you play around with custom kernels? (wifi is connected to the kernel and less to the baseband/modem used)
I am running SlimBean 4.3 (beta5) without any WiFi issues, also all other roms before that, no issue.
This must be a modem issue as android 4.3 does not change the modem from the previous samsung rom.
try upgrading to latest samsung 4.1.2 and then install android 4.3.
install 4.3 after doing a mega wipe.
remember to backup everything.
and dont forget to take an efs backup as many ppl are facing major problems after upgrading to latest samsung roms.
Guys, Thank you all, trying to reply to everyone:

1. Thanks, will do a mega-wipe next time, although with CWM did these in the following order: Wipe data/Factory reset, Wipe Cache Partition, Wipe Dalvik Cache several times. Also, with MegaWipe wiping Preload partitions does what exactly? Just don't want to brick my phone/do something irreversible, as I try to understand everything I do to it
2. No, did not played around with custom kernels. Do not know how to change/flash them. Same as flashing a custom rom? Newbie here :laugh:

Thank you! If a modem issue, how to update to the latest Samsung rom? From Sammobile? http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9300&pcode=0#firmware These are carrier-locked roms, cannot find mine, I guess... Newbie here :laugh:
Also, what do you mean by "an efs backup"? How to do one? Thanks!

(1) The best would be to read the mega wipe thread. I use it all the time, it will delete ANYTHING excep the external SD card (also not EFS etc, hence dont worry). Therefore you need a flashable rom on the external sd or via Odin later on. But basically your phone won't start after a mega wipe, just download & recovery will work.
Your wipes are correct I think, whereas /system is missing wich is needed, at least for SlimBean (4.3).
(2) The best would be to read the guides & kernel thread's how-to's first. It is basically the same as flashing a rom, yes.

Well if u r a newbie. Read all the guides available here. Dont proceed further without doing that. You will learn how to backup efs and all.
U can install any latest custom samsung rom. Again.. Read the guides/warnings before proceeding.
Misleading title .
#There have been a number of identical posts and some have fixed by copying older WiFi files over . But you need to search and read and no i don't know where they are . .
Its not a custom rom problem but a non Samsung custom rom problem on 4.3 .

Yes, reading the guides, so first of all decided to backup my EFS (coz that sounds reassuring before doing more ROM flashes) with EFS Professional from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
Installed BusyBox on my phone, and I'm stuck because of a missing applet: http://cl.ly/image/1a1J1A0I3V0H.
I think I'm going deeper than what I can handle
BTW, Enea307, tried CM 10.2 (4.3) this morming, and same wi-fi problem. So it's most likely not a custom rom issue, as most of you suggested.
The only logical; way to rule out firmware is by wiping the phone and flashing stock rom .

Not installed KIES yet, as I read that that's a big brother or something to Odin, and that his little brother is much better at flashing. Should I give KIES a go? Anyways, trying to redownload the firmware.
No Kies ?? Unless you installed Samsung USB drivers that's where your problem is .

I had installed Samsung Drivers beforehand, before even rooting / doing anything. Did not had KIES until now.
Still cannot flash to stock firmware with Odin.
BTW in the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969 i see that it should be blue, but mine is yellow when I connect my phone to Odin: http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/9231/odin4c.jpg and mine: http://cl.ly/image/473N1E0Q3G2X
Some roms, mostly PA (paranoid android) just happen to have wifi probs.
I used to have pacman rom earlier and as it was a combination of cyanogen mod, paranoid android, and AOSP roms. It had a part of all three in it, so the wifi bug persisted. Went back to stock rom later.
Usually stock roms are the best and most stable for your phone, No matter how much the hype is, features are, or however big Nd bold letters STABLE is written in. Just delete the bloatware given by samsung to get ur phone clean and ram light. You can delete system apps by using titanium backup.
Happy to help

Thing is, that I am rooted, done with Odin, by following this guide: http://www.androidrooting.com/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s3-gt-i9300-or-gt-i9300t-cwm-recovery/
So I have CWM, and with I tried Android 4.3 via SuperNexus, Android 4.3 via ParanoidAndroid 3.97 ROM, then, lastly CM 10.2 (4.3). With none of them did I managed to get the Wifi going.
Here is my current "About device": https://www.dropbox.com/sc/8hp04dn5o5flytd/LpoJCgZ7sK
Is this stock samsung firmware? Coz I can't tell. It seems stock, but maybe it changed with the rooting procedure.
So I repeat, only with this setup/build does the wifi work. With no other custom rom does...
I did backup and recovery to my current working wifi rom. That's how I recovered after trying these custom roms mentioned before.
Guys, help me pls, with at least flashing to the stock samsung rom with Odin or Kies (Odin failed, scroll up see my recent posts with screenshots)
Note that on my last try, Odin just froze yet again: http://cl.ly/image/0o0o0k2L3J3m
If not with Odin, then how do I restore it to stock samsung rom with KIES?
thx!
You dont do it with kies. Kies is such bull**** software. Dont use it at all. You wanna backup, use TI(titanium backup) or nandroid backup. Take a system backup from CWM. As you said in your post, u want to go back to stock, dl the stock rom, do the same procedure u did to root your phone via odin (pda, etc etc), just this time instead of the root zip file, just put the stock rom zip file.
It should take some time, and aftet its done, your phone will be as good as new. To restore the backup via TI, dont select system apps. Only the apps which are in green font or downloaded apps. Other wise u will have force closes.
Also, when u flash the stock rom via odin from your pc, you will not have root. Just a note.
You can simply remove bloatware like live wallpapers, samsung "never gonna use" features like Svoice via TI by just uninstalling them, but note, if fiddling with system apps, them make sure u take a backup.
I have written it all in simple language so that you understand every essential part and have fun with your rooted phone.
Happy to help
As always last resort restore original firmware with Kies and probably a better method than some others posted.
