X10a ROM install troubles :/ - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I have an x10a and cannot flash custom roms! I can root, unlock bootloader, flash custom kernels and install xrecovery/CWM recovery...
When I go to flash cmx10 or PAC-es209 I either get build.prop issues or something along the lines of Sim link error, done Simlinks failed.
Can anyone help me out our point me in the right direction? Perhaps a quick tutorial for first time flash?
P.S. I have done this starting with stock de branded firmware.

Thank you , and sorry if there is a thread.
First get the rom on your SD card, flash baseband.52 and install the rom normally with recovery, nothing special is requires for flashing the kernal it is done automaticly. If you need help on how to flash use my guide from my sig

So that kernel is already inside and i need just to flash it using baseband .52 ?
You flash the baseband with the flashtool and the rom with recovery. The kernal is included yes. Read through my guide, it explains all about how to flash roms and basebands.

I really don't have a clue if that would work or not cos J's kernal is for 2.3 and wolfbreaks rom is 2.2. You could always just try it out to see if it works just make sure you back up up wit recovery first and if worst comes to worst flash with the flash tool and redo your set up.

Best rooting method for stock 2.3.5.?

Hello,
Apparently, upd_1.zip method doesn't work, and SuperOneClick 2.3.3 can't root stock 2.3.5.
How can I root my Ace?
What's the error you are getting?
Is it something like status 7?
I also encountered similar issue.
1st time stock ROM root is OK. After roll back from custom ROM to same stock ROM, I got this error!
Try to wipe cache, format etc .. It works for me!
yeh I had that problem for like 5 weeks trying to root my ace but it had no root access !
OK so download cf-root b3
and flash with cwm 4
then just flash a different rom !
that simple
now I have root and a custom from!!!

I'm not getting any error, I read about experiences with both these tools and I'm pretty sure they can't root the device with stock 2.3.5. firmware. I want to know if anyone had success in rooting 2.3.5. and what tools had been used.

I don't want to flash a new firmware or a new recovery. I just want to root my phone so that I can remove some pre-installed applications.

Stock 2.3.5 ? I rooted it using the upd_1.zip file. Worked for me. Try the file posted in 'ZIP file to root ace" in this section. It might help.

Updated my brand new galaxy two days ago. Had no problems and was locked to the three network.
Used stock recovery to flash cwm v4 and then used this to apply the root update zip.
I am now running nimms amazing cm 7.2 rom and have had no problems.

Weird bug or not?

Hi if anyone has a solution to my question please dont hesitate to reply, my problem is that I tried to install a custom rom on a friends mimmi through xrecovery but the recovery keeps saying ''bad error rom not installed'' I have also succesfully unlocked bootloader and installed nAa 11 and tried to flash the rom but with no luck same error pops up i'm certain its not just a download error from the roms cause I use the same roms on my phone perfectly. I really wana get a custom rom on my friend's phone please any1 what could it be a bug or not? I can't flash anything not even a hotfix.

Have you tried redoownloading the zip file ? Just in case it is broken...
Otherwise, if you already flash nAa-11 kernel, you won't have any problems I think...

is your recovery tool xrecovery or cwm recovery. you'll be needing cwm based recovery but i believe it is included in the kernel. or you could have downloaded the wrong rom zipfile.

It is always suggested to take a backup of stock rom before installing any custom rom..have you taken any backups?
I did not make a backup when I flashed custom roms because I was a complete noob and I just flash a custom rom. Btw thanks for your reply.

Download any rom for ur device which completely works with stock kernel....
Then 1st do necesary wipes
Install custom rom
Flash stoock kernel...
Boot. Properly
And then try with pc companion or SEUS
But if I'm using a custom kernel and if I flash a rom that is compatible with stock kernel wont recovery will say incompatible kernel found? I've tried that before.

u have already installed naa kernel, meaning that you have unlocked bootloader. this article said that you can update through SEUS if you have unlocked the bootloader. i'm not experienced with x10mp bootloader issue before this but my gtab7 experienced bootloader problem after unlocked,flash the stock bootloader and solved the problem.
but you said that you have flash the stock kernel and still cant install through seus. why dont you try to reinstall seus,mybe something wrong with it. and btw,did you manage to flash stock kernel successfully?

[Q]Flashing custom kernels

Hi! Do you guys know any complete guide about flashing kernels and how to go back to stock? I tried searching but I cant seem to find one. All i see is about roms guide and rooting. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!
Look properly next time! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27407556 There's loads of answers.
To go back to Stock you need to use TA and then flash your phone using Odin & Stock ROM. Simple as that.
