This is the Easy stuff, you dont need root to go from 1.6 to 2.1
First go to the Sony Ericsson website and download two programs called Pc companion and Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS), located in support for X10
Then just install those two and follow instructions, you should now already installed the drivers for your x10 by going into flash mode
Now your Pc companion will alert you that there is an update for the x10. Click on that and just follow every step.
To Get 2.2 and over:
1) need to root - download either flashtool from Q&A thread or you can download SuperOneClick
2) Use either to root device - once rooted, reboot phone
3) Download busybox from the market and install
4) Once installed, your device is basically rooted and has xrecovery installed
5) you can reboot into xrecovery by tapping the back button several times when the sony ericsson logo has appeared
6) just install any of these custom roms available on this site and PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR EACH ROM
7) you may have to flash different basebands for different roms- i will not explain every single step because you can find out by searching and reading these forums
8) just install any rom and reboot DONE!!!
thanks for the help im just stuck on 1 little step i cant seem to get the semc driver installed. any suggestions im using windows vista

It should just try to autoinstall when you plug your phone into usb and connect the first time if your on stock ROM.

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!
hey if you cant get the computer to read it, turn off your phone, unplug usb from phone, hold the BACK button WHILE plugging the usb into your computer. Keep hold of the back button until the computer has recognised it

Hi, everyone I just joined this forum. I have X10i with firmware 2.1. While searching the thread i came acrosss terms like root, xrecovery, flashing, MT, generic etc. Can someone help me out what these terms mean. I wanted to upgrade my phone to gingerbread. Previously I am an iphone user So i am total noob to this OS and the phone
Thanks in advance
good get away from iphone
root--same thing as jailbreak
xrecovery-- a badass tool that lets you flash roms onto your phone.
flashing-- umm... it is like installing a modified version of even the legit version on the device
generic-- A product having no brand name or registered trademark
example= for device there is branded or non branded
branded means that a company like ATT or Rogers approves that firmware or OS version. So when you turn your phone on, you will usually see something related to them. like an animation of the att world
generic--- clean install. no company restrictions. just regular
ok links for all that crap above
2.3.3 firmware (does not matter if you download x10a or x10i)
Generic-----

As far is i remember phone was fully charged when i put it for update now what should i do. The phone doesnt restarts now and when I power up my phone only th egreen led blinks and it vibrates for split second than nothing I waited for it but the phone is not responding what should i do now
HELP NEEDED
to tell you the truth i dont know what SEUS is
i think it is for drivers or something but you should use PC comapanion for drivers
ok
use flashtool in the first link i gave you and download one of the 2.3.3 files
or use a 2.3.3 rom
and flash the sucker on
it should work
Try flashtool if doesn't work let your phone on charge for 1 hour and take it off try again whit seus should be good to go

Ok i will try that one too thanks alot lets see wat happens
ok tried that too nu luck
What should i Do now One thing more i was goignaround the threads looking for solution So in one thread it said that firmware can ber installed through flash tool 0.2.5
I tried that too and amazingly the flashing goes all the way to the end on 0.2.5 in the end i get the msg that flashing complete and remove the phone but when i remove the phone and turn it on it just vibrates and small blip of green flash led than nothing
What could be the problem
1. Download Flashtool from
http://doomlord.sylvester20007.com/x10/x10_gb/FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec.exe
2. Download the generic 2.3 ROM of your choice
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11038646&postcount=1
Personally I would get the Global version unless you can find your country specific one.
Global version download - http://www.multiupload.com/JEXUAHAZTL
3.
a) connect your phone to your PC, make sure it installs the drivers (if your Sony software is working it is fine)
b) Extract Flashtool into a directory you know
c) Extract the firmware file you downloaded. And move the ftf file into the "firmware" directory of Flashtool
d) Make sure your phone is not connected to the PC and is off.
e) Run Flashtool, click on Flash and select the firmware you have just downloaded.
f) It will give you the same instruction - holding the "back" key, (phone still off) connect it to the PC. If you did this correctly, the light will be green and it will start flashing your phone.
g) After it is completed, reboot your phone once or twice and check that it is working.
4. Installing xrecovery and rooting refer to instructions (you already have all the files from when you download in step 1)

I have flash tool 0.2.5,0.2.8,0.2.9,0.3.0
Have tried them all only 0.2.5 goes all the way to the end but when i turn on the phone it only virbrates and green led flashes for sec than nothing
When you reboot is there anything showing on the screen? Sony logo...anything? If yes, wait it can take a long time for a new rom to install. If no, I think you need to revert back to the 2.1 rom, root and install busybox, superuser, and xrecovery. once thats done you can backup your rom and data so you don't get stuck updating or if you have trouble with a custom rom etc. Also I think your battery stats should be wiped using xrecovery, it sounds like SEUS checked this and the file said your battery was too low to continue the update. Here is a good place to start.

Try taking the battery out and then try flashing again. Which ftf file are you flashing or selecting in the flash program. You need to use at least a 0.2.9 version of the flashtool.... if you use 0.2.5 start with the 2.1.54 ROM first.
hi guys dis s d tutorial for flashing d stock firmware on a dead or bricked x10 mini.....
NOTE: THIS PROCESS WILL RELOCK UR BOOTLOADER AND ROOT WILL BE GONE
Step 1: Download Sony Ericsson update service software (SEUS) http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/supp...ro?cc=gb&lc=en
Step 2: Install it and open it
Step 3: Now do a hot reboot on the device by pressing and holding both the menu and power keys at the same time
Step 4: Without wasting even a single second press and hold the back button and connect your USB cable while holding Back
Step 5: Do not release the back key until the SEUS identifies your device. When it identifies your device, the update option will appear on your screen.
(It may say that you have a latest firmware already, but you click repair anyway and after the operation starts, You may release your back key.
Step 6: Wait until the update process gets finished and reboot your device now you will have a stock firmware with locked bootloader
feel free to hit thanks if this helped you..
kudo for posting this, but many spelling mistakes and excessive use of txt speak like "ur, u, diz" you may wanna rewrite the post

Hopefully, this will be easier to understand (spelling, grammer & punctuation fixed)
thanx for the opinion will repost it soon
You are wrong, restore a firmware does not restore the lock of the bootloader. Your bootloader keeps unlocked always (you need s1tool to relock)

Missing "REPAIR" option in SE Update Service
SE Update Service ver.: 2.12.5.57 (last)
Kernel: nAa kernel
ROM: MiniCM7
There is no "REPAIR" option (see attachment).
It was in older version only? Who knows?
Or does anyone know another way to get back to stock ROM and kernel from the kernel and naa MiniCM7 ROM?
I claim my phone. So I need the original state.
THNX a LOT!
The repair option in PC Companion is a bit hidden, mine is in dutch but i try to show you the steps you have to take.
See screenshot 1, support zone, click start
See screenshot 2, update phone software, click start
See screenshot 3, phone not found (or you have the latest firmware), click the repair link
The repair link is not there if you choose update from the mainscreen in SEUS.
This desnt work. I have got almost standard conditions

Nevertheless I try your way. I found "Repair" link. I walk thru all steps, but It shows "No software available" (it was looking more like "update" then "repair") (see attachment). And then redirect me to homepage of PC Companion (with no chance to Repair).
I have got standard conditions:
Sony XPERIA X10 mini (E10i)
with
Kernel: nAa kernel (last version)
ROM: MiniCM7 (last version)
PC Companion Version: 2.10.053 (last)
SE Update Service (SEUS) Version: 2.11.12.5 (last)
THIS SOLUTION STILL DOESNT WORK FOR ME (I THINK FOR ANYBODY WITH SAME CONDITIONS)
Please help. I'm starting to be clueless :/
Thanx a lot.
I have edited my post, it is PC Companion ofcourse...
What steps did the repair option make you take? with me it is:
1. you will lose all your data, agree...
2. computer will be prepared, choose your model - x10 mini
3. it will tell you how to enter flash-mode (unplug, shut down, press back, plug in)
4. it will download the firmware and flash it to the phone
5. disconnect the phone and restart
as far as i know, the repair option doesn't care what phone you have, or what software it runs, it trusts you to select the right model, and itself to find the right firmware for that, no other checks are performed, it just flashes it.
PS: I was on nAa-08 and GingerDX this time, especially for this post i have flashed back to stock. i have bricked my phone a few times when i tried flashing custom roms and it always worked this way for me, even if you are on stock firmware it will still flash it again.

If it was still working after you unlocked the bootloader, then relocking it probably won't break it.
If it stopped working after you unlocked the bootloader, then relocking might restore it.
In any case make sure you're on stock firmware before you relock.

leave your phone unplugged when you choose update, and only plug it in when it asks to connect in flashmode. It can't recognise your phone when it's unplugged and should give you the repair option, if SEUS doesn't do that, download PC Companion, that will do it.
but the pc companion need the phone to be turned on and my phone doesnt turn on

So, what is wrong with your phone then? is your battery dead?
When you start PC Companion and you don't have your phone plugged in, you do the following:
Choose update
It will say: Phone not recognised (or something like that) and in that dialog there is a little blue link saying Repair. Click on it.
It will tell you you will lose all user data, accept that
It will ask you to select your phone-model from a list
It will download the firmware for that phone.
It will ask you to connect your phone in flash-mode (press the back-button, plug in the usb-cable, the led will turn green, the dialog will disappear and it will start flashing.
No need to turn on your phone at all, but it needs some charge in the battery in order to successfully complete the flash (normally a charge of over 50% is recommended to be safe)

hello everyone,
i know that this have been probably covered, im searching for days, but i cant find any, it probably buried somewhere. i apologized to the admin, but i really want to solve this problem, i really really need my phone. tnx for your consideration
first thing first, i want you to know that I'm a noob in rooting and its my first post. my phone is sonyericsson xperia mini st15i with IMEI:0Mod Edit: please don't give out your IMEI number on a public forum) and im from philippines using Smart as my service provider, it is a prepaid account.
i followed this steps using instruction from this site "http://xperiahtcrootingrom.com/how-to-root-xperia-mini-st15i-sony/"
I think i brick my xperia mini, it keeps on restartting over and over again, heres the story,
*first i performed the downgrade to Xperia Mini (ST15i)_4.0.2.A.0.42_CE.ftf gingerbread using guide from "http://xperiahtcrootingrom.com/how-to-root-xperia-mini-st15i-sony/", and it worked and i was able to root it.
*second i performed step 3 of the said guide up to step where you execute “01-local-prop” , then i realized the the firmware i got “4.0.4 firmware” is not appearing in my choices, so i figure its not the right rom, i unplug the usb and restart the phone, then the problem starts, it keeps on restarting over and over, i tried to flash it again to Xperia Mini (ST15i)_4.0.2.A.0.42_CE.ftf but it doesnt work because it keeps on restarting, pls help, it my first time doing root, i know it’s a learning process, i hope you can help me. tnx very much. hope to hear from you soon.
i know that there are same problems with other devices, ive tried to search for it, it does have the same problems but its a different handset, i believed that there are different ways to root for every handset. tnx again, i hope to hear from you guys soon.

Make sure your phone has a good % of battery left
1) Power off the phone.
2) Start flashtool
3) Click on the Lighting Symbol and Select Flashmode and click OK.
4) Select Appropriate Firmware and Tick Wipe User Data and Wipe Cache check box if visible and click OK. If visible click even exclude TA
PS: The appropriate firmware is a stock firmware for your device. For example the GB rom you downloaded for the downgrade and already placed in the flashtool/firmwares folder
5) click ok and follow the on-screen indications
6) when it asks to plug your device in flashmode, plug the cable in the mobile keeping the Volume DOWN button pushed down.
7) follow the on-screen indications

hello everyone,
i know that this have been probably covered, im searching for days, but i cant find any, it probably buried somewhere. i apologized to the admin, but i really want to solve this problem, i really really need my phone. tnx for your consideration
first thing first, i want you to know that I'm a noob in rooting and its my first post. my phone is sonyericsson xperia mini st15i with IMEI:0Mod Edit: please don't give out your IMEI number on a public forum) and im from philippines using Smart as my service provider, it is a prepaid account.
i followed this steps using instruction from this site "http://xperiahtcrootingrom.com/how-to-root-xperia-mini-st15i-sony/"
I think i brick my xperia mini, it keeps on restartting over and over again, heres the story,
*first i performed the downgrade to Xperia Mini (ST15i)_4.0.2.A.0.42_CE.ftf gingerbread using guide from "http://xperiahtcrootingrom.com/how-to-root-xperia-mini-st15i-sony/", and it worked and i was able to root it.
*second i performed step 3 of the said guide up to step where you execute “01-local-prop” , then i realized the the firmware i got “4.0.4 firmware” is not appearing in my choices, so i figure its not the right rom, i unplug the usb and restart the phone, then the problem starts, it keeps on restarting over and over, i tried to flash it again to Xperia Mini (ST15i)_4.0.2.A.0.42_CE.ftf but it doesnt work because it keeps on restarting, pls help, it my first time doing root, i know it’s a learning process, i hope you can help me. tnx very much. hope to hear from you soon.
i know that there are same problems with other devices, ive tried to search for it, it does have the same problems but its a different handset, i believed that there are different ways to root for every handset. tnx again, i hope to hear from you guys soon.
