It says i need to run the file s1tool.exe to find out if semc.bat or setool2 is applicable for me.. I downloaded S1tool.exe.. and ran it..
After runnin the exe file i click on identify and connect my X10 via usb while pressing the back key but nothin happens .. Nothing at all ?!
What am i doing wrong
Not even able to downgrade kernel using flashtool.. i run flashtool and connect my phone by turning it off and holding the back button and connecting the usb wire but nothing happens !!!
There is no need to downrade the kernel.
1. download and install pccompanion
2. If you ar enot already on stock rom with stock kernel, then use pccompanion to repair back to stock. (If you are on a custom rom and stock kernel, ten that is ok as well.)
3. Download and install latest flashtool (V0.5.3.0)
4. Goto driver folder in flashtool folder and run ggsetup.exe
5.Atach phone to Computer and run flashtool, wait for computer to see the phone.
6. press the padlock icon to root it, follow instructions.
7. press plugins/unlock/run, follow instructions
8. flash the unlocked kernel of your choice in flashtool,
9. flash the unlocked romof your choice in xrecovery
10. flash any required wifi modules if you need them.
any problems, just PM me.
Can you please elaborate these:
8. flash the unlocked kernel of your choice in flashtool,
Where to get the kernel? What choices do i have? How do i select one?
9. flash the unlocked romof your choice in xrecovery
Same questions as for the kernel, How to flash using xrecovery?
10. flash any required wifi modules if you need them.
Whats a wifi module and why would i need one and where to get it from?
Ive done uptill step 7... Still havent got unlocked bootloader i think cuz i still see SE logo when i start phone

Follow the [wifi issues and ulbl] link in my signature, this will put you on latest wolf rom and latest doomkernel.
The links are all in there. Get latest wolf rom from his thread (V7b6)
If oyu want another rom follow the instructions from that OP.
But basically you need to do this.
1. unlock bootloader (Steps 1-7 in my previous post) Check to see if its unlocked by trying to unlock it again...(What did it say last time when you finished trying to unlock)
2. download doomkernel and wifi modules from the doomkernel for unlocked bootloader thread.
3. Flash the kernel in flashtool. (run flashtool, click on the lightening icon, navigate to where you saved the kernel, click ok, and follow instructions)
4. Reboot in xrecovery and flash the rom
5. reboot into cmw5 and flash the wifi modules (Instead of pressing back button, press the menu button, cmw5 recovery is just another recovery)
reboot, enjoy.

run s1tool.exe.
if you see a capital R then its locked
if you see a lower case r then its unlocked.
Just try flashing the doomkernel to see if its already unlocked
Says phone already unlocked. However im still getting the SE logo at the start when i boot up phone.. Is that normal?

Thats because you havent flashed a new kernel yet....
get doomlords v06 kenel from the unlocked bootloader thread and flash it in flashtool
Stupid question, but once I have s1tool opened and identified x10 does that window need to stay open inorder to use the flashtool?
Sent from my X10 using XDA App
Installed the kernel. Now i have to flash wifi modules? What are these and what will they do ?

They are modules that allow you to use wifi. They are different ones needed for each kernel.
Just flash them in cmw recovery

Use pccompanion to repair back to stock then root and unlock bootloader in latest flashtool.
Here is the tutorial for Installing stock 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM plus root and CWM. I am not responsible or anyone mentioned below for bricking your phone in case, tested on my Xperia ray with unlocked bootloader using S1 tool.
Requirements
Unlocked Bootloader (preferred) although there is a work around for locked bootloader
4.0.2.A.0.62 FTF files
Flashtool
recoveryRay.img by and Rootxperia.zip b1n4ry (for rooting)
CWM
Installation:
How to Install stock 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM:
Download this stock 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM. Thank you Aire for providing the link.
After download you will have a zip file. Extract it.
Download flashtool here and extract it.
Create FTF file using flashtool from the 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM zip you extracted earlier. Now if you don't know how to create FTF files, there's a good tutorial here.
If you successfully created FTF file, you should see a file with extension “.ftf” in the “firmwares” folder inside “FlashTool” folder
Run the executable “X10FlashTool.exe” located in the FlashTool folder
Now click “Flash” button and select flashboot. Now select the firmware from the popup menu. Make sure “Wipe user data” box is checked and then click “OK”.
The application will ask you to put your Ray in flashboot mode, to do this turn off the phone, hold the volume down button while while connecting the USB cable to your computer.
Follow the on screen instruction and your device will reboot. Notice that the reboot process will take longer at first.
How to install Root
Please note that this is only applied to devices with unlocked bootloader. Alternately, you can just install a custom kernel and root using zergrush method but if you want to try the .62 kernel from this stock rom then do this.
Download rootxperia.zip here and place it in your sd card
Enter device in fastboot mode. Turn off phone, hold volume up while you connect the USB cable to computer
Download the recoverRAY.img provided below, you will get a zip file, extract it.
Open folder inside Flashtool where fastboot.exe exists (/FlashTool/x10flasher_lib)
Place the recoveryRAy.img inside the folder
Open command line in this folder
Test if it recognize your device, to do this type fastboot devices, if there is a result here proceed.
Now here's the tricky part, to enter a temporary recovery type fastboot boot recoveryRAY.img
*Notice that we didn't use fastboot flash boot ****.img here because as bin4ry said this recovery is designed to work just as recovery, if you flash it to your device it will NOT boot system anymore! This is just a temporary recovery for you so be careful not to flash it.
Now wait and your phone will reboot, you will see the FREE XPERIA splash screen and your device will now enter temp CWM recovery
On your phone choose install custom zip, locate the rootxperia.zip you added earlier in your SD card and flash it.
Reboot, your device is now rooted.
*to root your device with locked bootloader, they say you can install previous stock kernel and root using zergrush method.
How to install CWM
Download this then extract
Make sure you enabled USB debugging, and also you need to set Screen timeout to 10 minutes so you don't miss the superuser promt
Run install-cwm1.cmd from the folder
Follow screen on screen instruction, reboot.

Aire said, his current kernel supports .62 but they are currently working for repack based on this new firmware.
I haven't tried installing any custom firmware at the moment, I want to test this stock firmware for changes and improvement especially the baseband and battery consumption.
Sent from my ST18i using xda premium
Hm ok, btw, can you post the original link for rootxperia.zip?
EDIT: sorry you already did that thanks!
UPDATE: I'm trying to do SEUS update now though. Hope this thing won't brick..
UPDATE 2: SEUS update won't brick our phone if it uses the Testpoint method O what a happy day it is.. Let's see if i can flash aire kernel back.
is that a global version or what ? some people said, that version has some bugs..
can we root this version with the new DoomLord v4 Root ?
from the Arc forum, i found that they can root their device with .62 firmware just by using flashtool.. can we do that so ?
thx

The firmware is provided by Aire, however if you encounter ftf generic firmware, it will be nice if you post it here.
As to bugs, I'm using this firmware for a day now and I noticed improvement in battery and speed, no bugs so far. I haven't tried the doomlord v4 root, but rooting via recovery is easy.

Yep it is I have already flashed back aire's kernel and it is flawless no more test point required. Yay! Thanks for all the devs.
Xperia blog says the firmware is targeted for users in Middle East North Africa region.

O that.. That means you need to unlock the bootloader (at least with Test Point method). Never thought that won't work before.
most download link from MultiUpload cannot download the firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM, any alternative link?
Thanks.

If your bootloader is still locked you can not root your device using that method. The only work around is to install previous kernel and root using zergrush method.

Thank you "idareyoutoclickthis" and "hansip87" for your replies.
In fact I had rooted my Ray earlier 4.0.2.A.0.42ver using the zergrush method using DooMLoRD_v4_Root Which I lost when I upgraded to 4.0.2.A.0.62ver. Now DooMLoRD_v4_Root won't work with 4.0.2.A.0.62ver update.
Now what about the bootloader thing? Sorry for being so dumb. Can you please elaborate a bit? I've got only got to the point wherein i checked the status using the service menu (*#*#.....#*#). It only says Rooting Status: Bootloader unlocking allowed: Yes.
What do I have to do now? Please help.

Indeed .62 is the latest built which include alot of improvements specially on batter issue.
If you don't want custom rom and kernel and is contented with the stock ROM and kernel then you don't need to unlock your bootloader.
to root your device, you need to flash stock 4.0.2.A.0.42 kernel only, you can do this with locked bootloader and root using zergrush method.

Once you're on StockRom, use flashtool to root...
If you are on 2.1 stock rom use flashtool to install a 2.3 stock rom, once you did it unlock your bootloader and install a kernel with his wifi module... Then you're ready to install FeraLab v14 or another rom...

II may need some directions about unlocking bootloader and installing kernel and stuff..
and is xrecovery erased by this?
edit : Xperia X10 was updated with 3.0.1.G.0.75.
So now you are on 2.3.3...
You have to root again your phone...
Use the last version of flashtool...
And the guide by Crowds (It's in my signature "How to use Flashtool by Crowds")...
All is explained for all the stuff... Installation of Flashtool, the drivers needed, the rooting process, the unlocked bootloader process...
Once all is done, install a kernel (It's a .tft file) with flashtool (DooMKerneL, Thgo kernel, KCkernel... )
Don't forget it's wifi module (it's a zip file to copy on sdcard and install via recovery)...
Then, copy the rom you want on sd card and install it via recovery

Buy download mode do you mean flash mode? Flashmode = phone off & unplugged, then while holding the back button plug in usb to pc. Should only get green led, no screen.

Installing a Recovery
In order to install a new Rom you would have to install a Recovery, if you already see one you want check to see if they need a CWM(CWM5 in flashtools) of just flash through Xrecovery(0.3 in flashtools)
So in order to install on you much have your phone connected and on flashtools click on the black square with a white cross in it and choose according.
Bootloader Unlocking.
5.unplug your phone and power it off. On the top bar in flashtools plugins should now be available with the "Unlocked bootloader" option, so press it and wait until it says to connect your phone then do so by holding down your back button(on your phone) and plugging in your USB cable(don't let go until you see your notifications light come on GREEN
6. While the unlocking is taking place look out for the "you can now unplug and turn on device, then plug it again" do it one time and just leave it to finish and say "successfully applied unlock. Rebooting
7. Smile because you can now flash custom kernel and so forth and so on.

Hi, no need downgrade and upgrade kernel are just for easing rooting and bootloader unlocking processes to be done. So since ya want to flash custom kernels, no need to upgrade/downgrade anymore. Just place your kernel ftf under firmware folder of flashtool, then flash it via flashtool. But doomlord kernel got two versions: lockedbootloader (flash via xrecovery) and unlocked bootloader(flash via flashtool) Hope helps. Goodluck

If your xrecovery working for flashing..just flash the zip of kernel. You might get "installation aborted" but nevermind, just reboot phone. When ya see another xperia boot logo, that means your kernel has changed done . Btw, optimal oc doomkernel preffered is 1113MHz, keep it in mind okay cheers
Whitefang
thx again!! so it means that after i had put the zip file into my sd card,
i should reboot n go in recovery mode
then choose the "install custom zip" ?

I used v8 before, not v9 but i analysed the method
Yeah, download and extract the zip properly like tof37 senior said, name it and place it in right directory in ya sdcard.
Then get xrecovery mode and use "backup and restore" command then find ya folder then confirm, and let the restore done. Then, reboot and enjoy goodluck

thank for u two helps!! =D
now my phone is running on xperia s port !! =D
i hope in future i have question again ,
u guys can help me again =D
i just want to know why no one is interesting in doing one-step unlock program
I have a Xperia U --- OS :Android :- ICS 4.0.4 (stock)
(unroot & locked bootloader) build number :- 6.1.1.b.1.54 (stock)
kernel :- 3.0.8+.... (stock)
my phone not root or unlock the bootloader ,but i want to install a jellybean stock rom by DevSwift1 .I download the flashtool and install it and the drivers,i download the rom,how do i do next steps,i found that i can`t root my phone via flash tool with this firmware(6.1.1.b.1.54 ) it said i have to flash a 6.1.1.b.1.10 kermel to root,and rom install instruction said flash another kernel to install the rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2326515) .
1) how do i install the CWM recovery,i saw that Xperia u not support the rom mannager app. ?
2) is this [Kernel][Dec 04]Experimental v11a[JB 4.1.2] kernel pre install the cwm recovery ?
3)can i back up my current rom nad stock recovery how ?
4)your thoughts about devswift 1 rom ,i mean is it bug free and stable rom ?
5)tell me how to flash the rom ?
first answer my quetion (please put the numbers) secondly I need step by step, stock rom install guide from root to flash the rom....and don`t tell me just flash,pleas explain it futher,i mean bit more,this is my first time in xda and flashing a rom.(i got the boot unlock key)
guide it should be like this(IT easy to understand)
Eg:-
1)step, Root
> ***********
> ************
2)step, unlock boot loader
> ************
first of all choose a kernel and download it
second unlock your bootloader
after that install zip from sd card
finally choose devswift1 rom if you have problems with those pm me
you will get used to it and install every rom you like
i hope so
Prerequisite: go and unlock your boot loader. By unlocking your boot loader it saves you a lot of time in the future when you're flashing Roms since it will allow you to flash a custom kernel.
1) don't use ROM manager. CWM recovery is built into all custom kernels.
2) look at 1).
3) recovery is built into the kernel. backup can be done through CWM, it is pretty obvious once you are in there (volume for navigation, power for select)
4) I am ex-sony user but I've never touched this ROM but honestly everybody's opinion of a ROM will be different so try out different ones and to you see which is the most bug free and stable. To me I do not care about stuff like WiFi or HDMI because I never use it, but to some people it might be a major problem. So its a bit subjective.
5) instructions are included in the OP. Follow it VERY strictly (remember to flash the kernel, and remember to wipe before installing)

The link to the ROM is broken, fix it.
If it's a stock rom you do not need to unlock bootloader just flash stock kernel as said root and install recovery.

For your info, this kernel is for jb so you need to flash an ICS kernel. If you flash a jb kernel it will end it in brick.

This kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2299748 has cwm. Install it when you unlocked your bootloader and then download and flash devswift jb.

OK so you first of all, unlock your bootloader.
Then, you visit the devswift's jb thread, download the ROM and the kernel he asked you to flash.
Next, you flash the kernel via fastboot. Now, you boot into recovery and flash the ROM which is now supposed to be in your SD card.
Now you wipe data, cache and dalvik. Then, you flash the ROM. Next you reboot and let it settle.
Actually after unlocking the bootloader you can just follow devswift's instructions and nothing will go wrong.

hey man, you can unlock your bootloader in a simple step, you don't need to install tha sdk to your laptop or pc
you said that you already have a flashtool, and downloaded and installed drivers
note that if you unlock your bootloader the files will be gone (as in all file on phone and internal)
follow this step:
1. go to this site and get the code http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ (click "start unlocking the boot loader", then click "continue", click "yes i'm sure", check the boxes and click "i accept", enter your name, imei (note: remove the last digit coz its only need 14 digits), enter your email, and later on they will send you for the unlock key, save it safely)
2. open flashtool, connect your device in usb debugging mode, check it on the settings
3. click the BLU at the top at the right of the flashicon
4. later it will ask you to disconnect your device, and power off it
5 reconnect your devicein the usb cable in FLASHMODE. (hold the volume down button while connecting to usb cable)
5. Againconnectt your phone in FASTBOOT mode. (hold volume up while connecting to usb cable)
6. It will prompt a window with your IMEI number, insert your unlock key and click "unlock".
wait to finish and reboot it's done,hope i help you :good:

Follow the post above to unlock. By flashing experimental kernel it will root and install cwm. Just unlock and follow what devswift says

I had troubles the first time unlocking bootloader before on my Xperia SOLA the flashtool wasn't working to unlock. If flashtool doesn't work there is another way or other ways(I think) to unlock bootloader which happened to me. As I remembered I used a command on command prompt.

Imei is device specific it wont delete but just backup your TA Partition in case you want your DRM keys. What you mean nothing works when you try and unlock bootloader

Unlocking bootloader
Good thing I bookmarked this Youtube link. This is the method I used unlocking my bootloader. Just take note be sure your phone/xperia is one of those phones made in the specific year. Please check the link
