First of all, im newbie and i dont know much about this
I installed new wolfbreak v7 rom on xperia x10 but i cant get wifi working. I've read that i need doomlord's unlocked bootloaders so i downloaded .ftf file but i cant flash it, i get this in flashtool (newest version):
17/007/2012 13:07:13 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
I was following this thread but i cant get it to flash.
And i know i need that CWM recovery to flash the wifi.zip file but how do i get that recovery.
If anyone can tell me how do i unlock bootloader on my phone (xperia x10). My phone is not sim-unlocked, only rooted.
Initially (from a shop) in the phone the bootloader is locked.
If you want to flash a kernel for unblocked bootloader, then at first it is needed to execute procedure of unlocking of bootloader.
how do i do that?

Is your phone sim-unlocked? Cwm is included within doomkernel.

Edit is ur bootloader still locked? If so I'd suggest unlocking (it very easy to do and can be relocked for warranty purposes etc)
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
u can follow below step to use CWM recovery:
1.download CWM recovery zip file and put it into SD card
2.boot into your phone installed recovery
3.select "Install custom zip" and select the CWM recovery zip file to flash
then u can use CWM recovery.
Hi, I'm on wolf's Rom.
First of, did you make a clean install starting from 2.1?
Then after rooting your phone & putting xrecovery onto it, you have to unlock your bootloader with the same flashtool. ( plug in phone & press unlock bootloader in flash tool)
After that's done, enter xrecovery, wipe everything(factory reset etc.) & install Wolf's Rom for UB Important is, do not reboot, take out your battery & flash dooms kernal through flash tool!!
When that's done, you can install dooms WiFi fix through xrecovery!!
Hope I could help you out

For all of you having problems with unlocking bootloader. Simply follow this(I did this with Wolfbreak's v7 ROM on):
1. Download the latest Flashtool v0.6.7.0(you can get it here)
2. Run it, then plug the device.
3. (In flashtool) Go to Plugins> Unlock bootloader.
4. Follow the instructions in flashtool(always look at the log)
5. Done, your bootloader is unlocked.
Hope this helps
Download link is not reuploaded
EDIT: Oh and yeah, don't forget to install the flashtool drivers, it can be found on the install directory "Flashtool\drivers". If a message appears while installing just click "Install this driver anyway" it will appear many times, just keep on clicking it til installation is done. Good Luck everyone!

some say to flash the Doomskernel after Bootloader unlocking , and then install the ROM , what is the correct procedure ..
Details here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1503211
Hy guys!
I came across the problem when i was trying new roms for my Neo. Whenever i flash a new rom I risk that it'll go bootloop because I'm on locked bl. If so i cannot reach recovery again because it is on the /system partition itself which is formatted in the process.
I just wanted to ask if somebody could make a flashable zip for our phones so when i flash a new rom I can flash the recovery straight after the rom.
Why don't u flash a stock rom -> unlock bl -> root to gain CWM -> install ROm
I think wating for sb making Custom Rom for u would take a long time
It's just my opinion :silly:
Install x-parts from the market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5wdnkuQ1dNaW5zdGFsZXIiXQ.. Anyway just make a backup before you flash the rom. Use Flashtool to flash stock firmware, root and install recovery. You can restore your backup from there.:silly:

Yes that would be great..they should include CWM in the rom itself..as in automatically install CWM after flashing rom..before the first boot..

yup thats the problem with locked bootloaders..but if u unlock it then custom kernels will have CWM built-in..

I know that if I unlock the bl I can flash custom kernels but in service menu I have the line: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO. In that case can I still use the testpoint method?
I know how can i install recovery on the rom itself but as I said the phone can get into bootloops after installations and in that case I have to flash stock, flash neov kernel, root flash original kernel install cwm and start the whole process from the beginning.

You can unlock it, but you won't be able to use it(fastboot) until you remove SIM lock (with setool for example-paid, no free way).

Hey there,
My sister has the T-Mobile version
The Official rom is fine, the only problem is that the internal memory fills up and you cannot transfer the apps to the SD Card
My question is
If I install a custom ROM, will it unlock that option? will it then allow me to transfer apps to the sd card?
Thanks

Some of unofficial roms ( CM ,PAC ) have disabled emulated sd so app gets installed in sd card ( external sd ). there will be no storage issue.

awesome, thank you so much, I will get that phone flashed soon.
Now from what i've read you have to unlock the boot loader than you can flash the cutom rom, correct?
does unlocking the bootloader mean rooting the phone? are those the same thing?
And once the boot loaders unlocked or the phone is rooted, can't i just go into the phone's recovery mode and install the custom rom? (after formatting the phone of course)

Yes custom roms are rooted.
I told you one of the way to root. SuperSu is an app to provide root access to other apps.
U can follow whatever method u r comfortable with.
The process u said : Unlock boot loader > install CWM > Install rom is right.
Make sure to take backup and read all post for whatever method u r following.
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.

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:

I connect my phone to pc companion and it is recognize. I have installed CM11 on my phone, so I think your bootloader is unlocked.
So then you flash experimental kernel and then wipe cache/data/dalvik cache and flash zip.

between 1 and 2 steps you must root your phone. To do this follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/u-development/ics-noob-proof-root-via-flashtool-t1933985
2) you don't need unzip the kernel.elf, just move rom zip to the phone. In this video that you add he use kernel.elf, but you can use experimental kernel (has many features like overclocking so you can use this kernel) and flash like he done for kernel.elf

between 1 and 2 steps you must root your phone. To do this follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/u-development/ics-noob-proof-root-via-flashtool-t1933985
2) you don't need unzip the kernel.elf, just move rom zip to the phone. In this video that you add he use kernel.elf, but you can use experimental kernel (has many features like overclocking so you can use this kernel) and flash like he done for kernel.elf

when you rooted phone (follow my link) flash this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/u-development/kernel-experimental-v11c-t2326515 with flashtool. you don't need flash kernel.elf, because you flash experimental kernel.
then just go to cwm and follow instructions

Thanks for your help.. you help me a lot ,just one last question are you saying that ,
" flashing experimental kernel will not root my phone ?
i am on 6.1.1.b.1.54 firmware so this version can not flash via flashtool but i found another way......thanks for your time ,i think you understand my reason for the confuse after watching the those videos....
i am not saying that you don`t know about this, but ,,.I am creating a new thread about " my bootloader unlocked or locked ? "because i have a small doubt about that" ( from my knowledge after bootloader unlocked, pc companion will not recognize my phone,that`s why we can not get sony officail updates via pc companion "after" unlocking the bootloader)
