Hi guys.
Totally Noob here.
First of all, i admire to helping ppl here, and many smart and genious hard working gys!
I flashed my x10i (i can swear, it was x10i !!) to 2.3.3, baseband ver.2.1.71,all was ok, till i spoted the phone converted to x10a(!?).
Also i have noticed some gray spot on my pictures, i suppose it's a software problem, what do you think?
And my music getting glitchy while playing on, if moving the phone. All the rest working great:silly:
So., i would like to downgrade to previuos firmware (cant find a healthy mirror link, so if someone could help, i'd appreciate it), but dont remember was it 2.1 or 2.2(
So what do you suggest in my case plz?
p.s.
the phone is still sim locked, is there some software solution here to unlock, cuz cant unlock by code.
thx for all answers!
Hi, maybe ya messed during flashing your rom. If rooted, try check ya buiklprop, see is there any line mentioning "x10a", try change it into "x10i" and reboot phone. Ur rom is official updated or custom? 2.3.3GB music player is wellknown buggy non smooth. Only can be solved if using other music player that supported. And about the link for 2.1 here from MY BUDDY'S thelogic hope helps

no free solution for unlocking your sim.
Also the camera works perfectly in 2.3.3
either reflash the 2.3.3 rom using flashtool or repair using PCC or SEUS.
If music still is glitchy, use some stock based custom roms

I have updated my xperia x10i & after the update, I can't see the android market. Guys what should I do. I stay in India.
Did you do the official SE update or did you flash one of the other available updates (Nordic, global, etc)?
According to Google you should have Market on the phone unless SE hasn't included it.
Try repairing the installation, if that doesn't work you may need to flash another version of the update.
I have updated throught SE companion.... Also I tried repairing, done it twice still no market... What do I do??? Please help
Can I flash my X10i without rooting?

of course you can
I think it's a common problem in all of Asia (though maybe not Japan). China, Hong Kong and Taiwan all have this same problem with no fix or even a comment from Sony other than, "try reinstalling".
I'm still trying to find the global 2.1 so I can just flash that to my x10i.
Does no 1 have a solution for the same.... Bcoz I have tried everything officially.... I think only way now is to flash the phone with a global firmware.... Can any one help me to how to do so? (Off-course without rooting)
Like you nothing works for me. I grabbed the "vendor.apk" and also grabbed "MarketAccess" and "MarketEnabler" tryimg to get it to work. I can make the little picture for market show up, but nothing happens if I click it.
I'm afraid to global root my cell too cause it's been said without Timescape that many of the functions (like phonebook) won't work.
try to add the app from there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826849
well finally i have managed to install market.... If any 1 is facing the same problem, pls contact me. my email address is [email protected]. Or else grab a global firmware2.1 & flash it with x10i flash. These would solve all your problems
HI
I have the same problem that you are having, i am using slide me now, but i still need google market, i am not sure what to do.
if you have managed to solved your problem, please let me know how.
regards
First off please let me state that I am aware that I am not any sort of expert when it comes to this sort of stuff. I might use incorrect terms and say things in a way that displays my ignorance to these extremely technical topics. I am have some good common sense and problem solving skills though so if someone were to offer me some help I can probably 'figure it out' by thinking critically.
I have a X10A with AT&T and was too impatient to wait for SE to come out with the 2.1 update here. When the Nordic update came out I was one of the people that rooted and de-branded my phone so that I could get 2.1 on it. Everything went fine and nothing else seems to be wrong with the phone except the boot loop problem. I can not seem to find a definitive answer as to how to fix this on any forums or anywhere else on the internet. I updated it with SEUS and it did not fix the problem.
Since having done this I have read that all the user data must be wiped before rooting/upgrading otherwise one can get stuck in this boot loop (http://www.xda-developers.com/androi...or-xperia-x10/). I don't know if that is what happened to me or not???? Any help someone could offer would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
So you flashed to nordic when it came out but you just now get a boot loop?
Not sure what happened but I'd say try flashing it. Since you are in a boot loop & can't power on & turn it off to get into flash mode, try THIS
I suggest 2.1.A.0.435 X10a 2.1 Global Generic, there's a nice guide HERE on how to install & optimize it. From there you can install a custom rom if you want or just wait for the 2.3 update from SE or see what our devs come up with in the meantime...
At&t will never give us an update... one of my many complaints with them... I am dropping home & cell services ASAP...
Yes I flashed to Nordic when it came out. I have been in a boot loop ever since. I am just now posting this because I have not had time to deal with it. I had insurance on the phone and just got another one instead of fixing it. I will try your suggestion and let you know how it works out. Thanks for the help!

Do you flashed the correct baseband to your ROM?
Maybe you have to install correct baseband with flashtool.

how to flash my SGY and where i be able to get firmware for my SGY? plese help me, i'm very confuse...
Hello,
I am new at the rooting scene and i hope this is the right forum to post this.
I got my xperia x10 for 1.5 years now and i want to try something new.
When i was searching on the internet i found the new miui rom and it looked incredible. Now i looked to every possible thread on this xda forum database but i still didnt find out how to get this miui rom on my xperia x10. After reading many different threads i do not see the difference between rooting flashing and roms.
I am thinking this: do i need to root my telephone first, then flash it and then i can put a rom on it?
Other thing i was wondering is the thing with locked and unlocked bootloaders. I have a standard 2.3.3 version of android xperia x10 and i never did something with it. Do i need to unlock bootlader to get a miui rom or is this not needed.
My specs:
modelnumber x10i
Android version 2.3.3
Smalband version 2.1.71
Kernel version 2.6.29-00054
Sorry for asking these noob questions but when i look to the miui forum i see methods for locked and unlocked bootloaders.
I hope someone want to help me with getting the miui rom on my telephone, because i am 1000% not as smart as all of u are with phones
with kind regards,

Hey ,
First of all, yes u will need to root your phone before flashing ROMs.
And about the bootloader question.. Most of the MiUI ROMs requires a unlocked bootloader, but ofc some of them will work on locked too.. If u want to get the most out of ur phone, u can easily unlock bl using flashtool.

thnx for ur comment... well im still looking to the forums hehe to learn more.
So i can root my phone with xrecovery? and then i can also flash roms with xrecovery? but i have .73 and everyone is talking about .48 and .52 whats with that
Pick a rom and see what you need.Be aware that rooms have bugs,help is sometimes slow in forthcoming and to see what's going on may require you to read 100s of posts in that rooms thread AND some links for download may be dead.
Anyway first thing to do is set up your PC properly with flash tool/PC companion and flash/root the phone.
I would then read and bookmark the guides on here,and see how to make a backup.
Then you can see what rom you would like, see what kernel is needed and if you need/want to unlock the boot loader.
You could maybe have a crack at *oodies primex* rom to start off with.

When You're on a stock ROM it would be better for You to root and unlock Your bootloader now, else You won't be able to unlock Your bootloader later.
Here are all the files You'll need to do this.

Dear jakuburban,
Thnx for your reply on my message. I am currently at my work so i cannot open your help file. I am looking forward to it when i am at home. I did some research today on the forum and i finally understand i need to flash root and unlock my xperia x10.
But the only thing i do not understand is the kernel. There are many different kernels and i do not know wish one i need to use.
I want to get the corbrato MIUI rom based on 2.3.7 android. I got currently 2.3.3 android on my telephone. So do i need to take the 2.3.3 kernel or the 2.3.7 one? and whats the difference between the kernels and what one is the best to take?
I hope you or someone else can answer this.
Thnx for helping!!!
Kind regards,

2.3.3 and 2.3.7 are the versions of the ROM not Kernel. Kernels are mostly calle after a developer so for example DooMLorD kernel, which I think is the best for You. It works on stock-based ROM's and on a MIUI (It takes a little bit long too boot).
Hello, i really need your help to fix my x10 mini.So lets start...Yesterday i wanted to upgrade my x10 to android 2.2. Everything was going well , i rooted the phone, then i bootloaded the phone.But after bootloading there were no service. So i tried to run again flashtool and going to to flash mode (you know, when you need to turn off the phone and hold "back" key while plugging usb cable) and yeah in the middle of the flashtool process i pluged out usb cable and (while green led was still on) i pulled out memory card(don't understand why really -_-). So after pulling out sd card green led just turned off and thats it, phone died! i couldnt turn it on, when i charge nothing happends, when i plug in to pc nothing happends, and few times i tried to detect it with s1tool and restore but even when plug in usb cable while holding "back" key but nothing happends even if i wait holding "back" key for 10min.I dont know what to do my x10 mini just died with absolutely no signs of life.Please, I would be very grateful for your help.By the way i have old school x10 mini (not pro) so i cant take out battery
P.S. sorry for my bad english
If you can't get into flashmode you are going to have it JTagged at a repair shop.
And FYI: You should have relocked the bootloader with S1Tool as soon as you found out you didn't have a signal.
Secondly: Do NOT ever interrupt the flashingprocess...
I guess you'll have to pay for it to get back up and working.

how much do you think it will cost? anyway if i repair it should i try to upgrade again to android 2.2 or 2.3? because being stuck with android 2.1 is bull****, but after this i dont think i want to take that risk again.And im 100% sure after bootloading phone will have no service again and the only way to fix signal is relock with s1tool right? so would it be possible that after bootload i would upgrade to 2.2 and then use s1tool to relock bootloader and i would have service again? would it be possible? And again sorry for my bad english

You can actually upgrade to 2.2 custom rom without unlocking your bootloader. Only if the ROM you choose needs a custom kernel do you need to unlock the bootloader.
And once you've flashed a custom kernel you can't relock the bootloader, that will brick your phone again. Relocking the bootloader can only be done if you're running an original SE kernel.

I have no idea what it costs to repair your phone, never had to do that myself, and even if i had, it will be different from where I am to where you are (probably). As for upgrading: You set out to update your phone to android 2.2 so did you not already choose a ROM to put on your phone? All 2.2 ROMS run on the stock kernel. Look for CM6 ROMs in the x10mini development section (although most download links will be dead by now).
Or look for MiniCM7, you can still get the 2.0.7 version, which runs on stock kernel, from 2.1.0 it needs the nAa custom kernel (just click on the downloads link in the MiniCM7 posts and it will take you to the repository where you can download older versions of that ROM).
There is not much else available for stock kernel on the x10mini unfortunately, although pongnamu is working on a MIUI gingerbread version for stock It's just not available yet.
If anyone cares i tell you what heppend in last couple days.Well first of all i decided to buy new phone instead of fixing old one.I bought lg optimus l7.So anyway today i dont know why but i took my x10 mini to repair shop and i i found out that fixing x10 mini brick is cheap only 30LTL(about 11.5$ ).But i think its so cheap only in my country , if you live in USA ,UK or in any other country it may cost few times more(I dont know that for sure ) and if you send your phone to SE the price may be insane compare to mine.My advice to others who want to upgrade their phones OS, DONT DO THAT BY YOURSELF IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING! And actualy x10 mini is kinda outdated so if you want to upgrade OS for only playing newest games and newest apps ,x10 mini wont run them propertly so if you want only to play games and use best apps you should buy a new phone.
P.S. and again sorry for my terrible english

Thank you for the update. It is always interesting to hear about solutions.
And I agree with you, that users should be careful doing things they do not understand.
I always recomend users to read a guide 3 times before they start doing anything, make sure they know what every step is about and why it must be done.
And most important is to make sure what phone model they got, and make sure that ROM/Kernel is made for that model. :good:
Hope users can learn from your expierence. We should have done more to warn about "what not to do" and stuff like that :angel:

Just got my U20i back from jtagging (didn't have no repair shop at hand,so I had to send it in to a shop), I payed 30€ in Germany (would be somewhat about $40), plus shipping.
Next time I send it to your repair shop, seems to be cheaper even with double shipping costs :laugh:
I thought so ,in Lithuania stuff like that is really cheap if you compare to Germany,UK,USA etc.
hi guys, I know help has been asked plenty of times for this and other phones. also I read dozaens of guides, but this instead of helping me, made me very confused :crying:
here is my problem: my girlfriend's sk17i has a terrible signal connection, so I would like to try different basebands on it (could that fix the problem or at least improve the situation?)
my problem is that I didn't understand clearly what I need to do on the phone to change basebands.. root? unloack bootloader? install cwm? install custom roms or stock ics will be ok?
ps. I am not new in root, see my signature I own a rooted defy+ and installed dozens of custom roms on it, so I would just like to know from you which preliminary steps I have to do and are strictly necessary to change basebands, once I know that I will try to do that by myself following the many guides I found..!
pps. I would like to do as less things as possible, just because it is not my phone and if I brick it a can get killed :laugh: if it was mine no problem I did everything possible on mine
thanks in advance for all the help you can provide

To change baseband, you only need Flashtool, proper FTF file (every firmware includes different baseband) and phone with USB cable.
No root, no need to unlock bootloader, no CWM, any ROM will do.
Which baseband(BB) are you currently using? Also, which ROM?

thanks for the reply!
good to hear.. seems I can try different BB's pretty easily so
she's on stock ICS 4.0.4..
BB: 8x55a-aaabqoazm-203028g-77
FW: 4.1.B.0.587
if it was mine, I would have already rooted, unlocked it and tried FXP cm10.. I can't stand all those sh*tty apps included in stock roms.. but as I wrote it is not mine and if I brick it that would be a big problem..
(even if actually she is using it as it was a old phone as data connection is almost un-usable.. 3g status is always almost 0, and 2g can not be used because of operator problems.. : ( ) so she can only use it with WI-FI in the office and then no data connection anymore..
that's bad, I bought her that phone and if I knew before data connection signal was so bad I would have never bought it
you think I can improve the situation trying different BB? tx again!
I doubt it will help. I do not think changing baseband will make it any better.
Try the same SIM card in another phone(s). Does the issue still occur in other phone(s)? If yes, the issue is with either the SIM or the operator.
Then try another SIM card in the Mini Pro. Does the issue still occur with another SIM card in Mini Pro? If yes, then the issue lies in your phone.
I have already made tests, troubleshooting etc (I work in a service department :laugh: ) and I am sure the problem is on the phone that's why I would like to try a different BB as last hope.. if that won't work then I will trow it away and buy something else.. :crying:
bull****
