Hi guys, As you all know ICS is being released, Apparently my SI no. hasn't got the update yet, I really am losing my patience and want to manually update to ICS using the French ST25i firmware.
Now, coming to my question. I want to manually Update my XU ST25i GB to ICS. I want to know how it is to be done, IN A NOOB FRIENDLY WAY .
A step by step method would really help guys. I'm aware that if I update this way, It technically isn't ROOTING. ( Right?? ) (I havent unlocked my Bootloader and I prefer to keep it that way coz of future updates from Sony) . And one more thing, If I do this, Will I be able to still get official updates from Sony? ( i.e From SUS or PCC ).
Please help a fellow member! :highfive:

Its not rooting. It is just flashing a new official ROM. Here is the more stable ST25a Australian ROM with full instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916419
THe french ST25i ROM is a little laggy. I own ST25i phone and I just flashed with the Australian ROM. It is just fine. Do read the instructions properly before flashing.

Thanks for the reply, But there doesn't seem to be any instructions of any sort on that page. A better link/page with instructions will be helpful. Anyone?

Hi Guys ..
I have an X10.. with Model number X10i.
I Bought from USA(having AT&T Provider Contract)
and now I m here in India.
Its Working fine, it is **Unkocked**...
I just want to Upgrade My Phones Firmware Version from 2.1-update1
To
The Newer Version 2.3 gingerbread..
As A Normal SonyEricsson Phone can Get Updated by PC companion..
My Phone Shows that I have a Latest Version..
I can not Update it Through Normal Procedure..
and then i Came to know that Bcoz its AT&T providers Product, I cant Update it NOrmaly by PC Companion..
I Just Want To Update My Phone..
Need help..
What to do and how to do..??
Support Will be appreciated..
Download & install flashtool here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
Download a generic 2.3 build here (& put it in the firmware folder): http://www.multiupload.com/JEXUAHAZTL
Open flashtool, click on the flash icon , choose flashmode, select firmware & flash
Post number 2 is the correct device, apart from you will also need to
0. Make sure unknown sources and usb debugging are allowed in
/settings/applications
and
/settings/application/development
1. click on the padlock icon to root.
2. click on the key icon to ask root permissions, allow permissions on the phone.
3. then flash the rom.
thnx but 1 question....!
Thanx guys..
I hv No doubt in that U ppl Rocks..
But is it a proper way , i mean i hv Phone which is Unlocked..
And there will b no problem further more..?
To root mobile is Called Upgrading.?

What do you mean by "proper way"? Is it an official way to do it? No. Flashtool method is essentially another pc companion. It does everything pc companion can do and more. The only reason you have/need pc companion is to recognize the phone. That is it. The only problem you will have is a chronic headache from all the lag the stock 2.3.3 FW gives. Remedy that by rooting and installing a custom/complete ROM.
Rooting the X10 device is not necessary, but I highly recommend you do buddy. The X10 stock and when stands alone is a terrible device. but when rooted and applied with a custom ROM, the X10 lives up to many other devices that shouldn't be compared to. Technically, Rooting is not an upgrade. But if we look at the benefits of rooting, well thats a completely different story.
If you have any questions just ask. If I helped, Thanks button is always there bud
This is also my problem. I cant update my x10 to gingerbread. What generic 2.3 build shoud i download? and what is that complete rom?
Better Install a Custom ROM.. eaiser.. Faster.. loads of options
try MIUI... my personal Fav.. or u can use the Team Rom transparent.

hm.. but update service will give him .62 not .42, right? or are you thinking on making prerooted image? hm now i got idea
@ prazadx: are you willing to do clean flash with pc companion or sony update service, then we'll instruct you how to make .62 .ftf, but it will be around 150MB after you zip it, wich you would need to upload..
then if your phone is sim-lock free your fastboot should be open, and it should accept prerooted .img.
even if your bootloader is locked i think it only matter for kernels.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong
its here mate
Just flash this with flashtool (extract using winzip or eqivalent first to get the ftf), root using flashtool, update OTR, install cmw and you are fine.

I'm gonna perform this flashing with flashtool. all i need is to downgrade my current firmware to .42, so that i can root my device. also this is a sim lock free device with a locked bootloader.
is there any other way to root without downgrading??
also, thanks mate..
There are another way to root but you need to unlock your bootloader, sorry I cant put links,but if you search right here in this Forum "unlock bootloader" you would see the options to do that.
Definitly this way is the only you have without unlockink bl. Thats all the peoplo say because I cant flash .42 on mine....flashtool stop always before 100% I will format pc...i dont know what other thing can be.
Any suggestion??

Here my step to root my mini pro SK17i, boot loader still same as when it buy..
When I bought it the phone is 2.3.4/4.0.2.A.0.62 and try out many ways from XDA. Yes it rooted but when I update firmware from OTA or pc... my phone back to early state that root are gone...
So I tried out many ways and found this one, try over 3 times to make sure and decide to post this guide.
A.prepare...
1.flashtool 0.7 from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309
2.fw 4.0.2.A.0.58 .ftf you can find from xda or place..(its not hard to find)
3.root v1.5 without unlock boot loader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346198
...
step 1.
open flashtool then select flash ==> flash mode ==> select fw 4.0.2.A.0.58..
then check only exclude TA / FOTA / Baseband (only 3 choices) the others must not check..
then select [ok] to continue and wait for connect the SK17i
step 2.
Push your phone in to flash mode by....Turn off your phone..
Then press and hold [volume down] while you plug PC-USB, if you never install driver of flash mode the PC will install it...[please choose continue(ignore) to install, even no matter what happen]
step 3.
waiting around 5-6 minutes... untill all message said all finished..==> then disconnect the phone..
step 4.
turn on your phone..==> then set display to maximum timeout / and set develop USB debug...
step 5.
open (root v1.5) to root the phone
after phone restart....
Your phone SK17i are rooted ready and fw is 4.0.2.A.0.58..
then Backup every things while you are root user...
step 6.
OTA to 4.0.2.A.0.62 back by wifi only, don't choose other else..
Done...enjoy.

He went back to a previous firmware, because .62 is unrootable and so the devices isn't like you have bought it, because the .ftf you flash isn't the same like the one on phone before
that kind of solution excludes AZERTY HW keyborad of the SK17i ? it seems that every custom rom every is design for US HW keyboard but i dont want to lose my keyconfig anymore by switching firmware,
Any solution for french people ? plz

Search for a french firmware ftf, maybe in development forum you could find one
Or you copy the keyprint.xml from your current rom, save it on your pc, flash a generic firmware and push the file back :good:

Sorry for bothering.
I was reading many texts on this forum and all over the net, and because I`m a newbie I`m still not sure if I`m right about this.
So this 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware is not rootable unless I downgrade right ? I have an xperia ray if that makes any difference.
So the only solution for me to root the phone is to flash the phone with an older version of gingerbread right ?
Thanks in advance.

I guess there's no .68 firmware. Only .58/.62/.69/
I would update; with an ota update (via wifi) you shouldn't loose root. To be on the safe side, download the local-prop script (how to root .431), run it on your current firmware, update, see if you have root, if not run push-root-files

To use flashtool, first download the firmware you want, then check usb debugging in your cellphone (settings/development options). Now turn off the cellphone, then open flashtool.exe, put flash and select the firmware you want to flash (with termination ftf) now there will be an advice in the computer screen sayin to conect the phone, conect it by pressing the volume down button until a green light is showed at the notification light part in the cellphone then flashtool will begin to flash the phone and wait it to finish the process. That all I hope it help you, sorry fot my bad english.

Hi all,
This forum does not look so active as the one i came from (Xperia X10) so i'm forced to open this thread in hopes that more people will see it and be able to help me...
So the situation is very simple:
1. I am on newest ICS 6.1.1.B.1.54 - which apparently can not be rooted yet
2. My bootloader is locked and can not be unlocked (it says bootloader unlockable: NO (and i can not continue the process))
If there are no solutions currently for my situation then i would just like to ask:
3. Is there some way that i can get some options when i open the notification bar? like wifi/screen rotation etc. It is what i miss the most on this stock ICS rom.
MY IDEA for a solution to:
1. is it safe/possible to use flashtool and flash for example LT22i - 6.1.B.0.544 -Central Europe - ICS? Then root and install CWM and then custom rom for locked BL
2. i have no idea but apparently the official repair shop can change the NO to YES - if so, can i do it somehow myself?
3. no idea...
Any comment would be appreciated, even if nothing can be done, please someone who has knowledge about this...help

2. Not realy sure, mine was bootloader unlockable from the start. But I decided to keep it locked.
3. You mean like this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015118
I flashed this and is working quite well. No problems so far.
Flashing is also safe with locked bootloader. I've been flashing like crazy since I rooted my phone 4 days ago.
Just do backups and follow instructions carefully.
