So i rooted my Xperia X10i with the one click software.
I downloaded the rom manager from the market but it doesnt support the X10. How do i got about loading a rom onto it now?
no chance, you are only superuser. the bootloader isn´t open.
Ok this must sound daft but how do i do that?

Oh so its only the Xperia X10 that people are having an issue with changing the bootloader?
- install titanium back up and uninstall apps that you dont need
- install barnicle wifi for wifi tether
or
- unroot and enjoy what you have because honestly, people who rooted but has no idea what to do with root shouldn't bother to root their phones, it's harsh but sadly true
the question is : What was the goal of your rooting operation ?
changing the ROM ? (have you search informations before you begin this operation ?)
Root access provide you many usefull operatons, changing theme, cleaning unused apps, use some apps who need root...
It theses operations are not needed for you, root is not necessary for you....
I would like to load a new rom or roms onto the phone.
And anybody is welcome to do this to their phone. And this (So i was told?) is the place to ask for help. I know what root is and what i can do with it. But the Xperia is somewhat harder than other Android phones to hack.

Until the bootloader is cracked, that doesn't apply to Xperia X10 users just now.

It's the best place to come and ask for help, but members don't like people coming and asking questions that they would already know the answer to had they done their homework first.

I don't think so...locking the bootloader sadly is becoming the norm...with motorola goining the same way...agreed sony has a reputation giving hackers the hardest time...but progress has been made...and we will see cuatom roms

I ran CM7 nightlies on my DInc2 and updated to the stable version the day it came out. Technically, I am a noob so I really don't know what I am doing, I just know what I like and I can follow directions. (Except for Matt's ICS update when I forgot to protect the root and had to start over with .181, doh!)
Why is it that CyanogenMod is unavailable for one of the hottest phones on the market? Is it because of the locked boot loader? (which I will have to look up cause I don't even know what the heck a boot loader is anyway)
It's not über important, I just really miss my CM7 and was wondering if anyone knew the answer.
Locked bootloader= no custom kernals also there is cm9 but not cm7 nobody wants cm7 anymore ....
Sent from my Spectrum....Verizon's most underrated phone
You don't need custom kernels to have official CM.
That being said, our devs are hard at work on making a fully functional CM ROM - thing is though, since we have to work around the kernel that our devices are working using a process called "2nd-init", since we have locked bootloaders, everything is taking a lot longer and is a lot harder.
We have a partially working CM9 ROM over at http://droidhive.com. We also have AOKP.
Would you recommend a partially working version for noob who really loves CM?

Get the fist leaked ICS. It is cool.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA Premium App
I am running 4.0.3. I agree, it is cool. I still think I prefer CM.
CM isn't necessary at this point in time.
hy,
i am quite sure this questions wer answered x-times, but i didn´t find the answer in the forum, so i will ask:
1) Can we expect that the Bootloader will ever be UNLOCKED?
2) Are some DEV´s (and who?) working on it? Do they inform the folk on ex. twitter or so, like the iPhone guys (musclenerd, pod2g, ionic,...)
3) I already updated to ICS-TMobile-Leak, is my bootloader now different to the one in GB?
somehow i thought, i shoud write a NEW post, but i hope its okay to ask here, coz +1(wanna hav CM9 toooo)

1. I think only Moto can unlock the bootloader, cause someone else told me it's an hard work because of 3 layers of encrypted code (I don't know what it means!)...it requires a lot of time and a powerfull machine
2. see n°1, Eternity project team are working on a bypass for bootloader (kexec)
3. ICS Bootloader is different from GB one, I guess.

Wait a moment...kexec is not necessary for CM9 flashing...you can flash modded rom, yet.
kexec (or unlocked bootloader) is required for mod kernels!
I am on icsleak, means i cannot flash costum rom as long as devs are not developing roms for my existing kernel right?
So i need to have kexec to bypass the kernel flashing to flash a costum rom...

First phrase. Yes, I think so, if you can't downgrade to GB, as I guess
Second hrare. I don't know if kexec gives you this opportunity. You have always to flash a compatible kernel with a custom rom, its or others. This is my guess, someone else can confirm or not?
Hey guys! I am a kernel+rom developer for Samsung phones but recently I bought this phone from the market. I have never used HTC phones before so need to know few things before I start development on it.
1.Whats the rooting procedure?
2.Any news about JB? I think this device is too perfect for running JB
3.How many developers are already here? I need the approx number
4.Why no cm till now? If I am wrong then tell me.
5.Is the hardware opensourced?
6.Where can I find kernel sources?
7.Whats the procedure for setting up OTA updates?
8.Is this place dead or alive??
9.Can this phone run all the awesome games in market?
10.And any warning you want to give me?

1.unlock your bootloader, flash su in recovery...
2. HTC said that phones with 512MB of ram won't get it. That means we'll probably get it...
3. 6-7
4. Ramdisk something...

That's great! I'm a dev, well, ROM builder myself too, and I know about that stuff. So if you need any help, I'm here
But I thought the CM problems were because of a non-functioning device tree. Lloir has made one, but every ROM compiled from that doesn't boot.

If you want to root, install a custom rom, custom kernel, custom recovery... yes, you need it unlocked!
It's very simple. Just follow the orders in htcdev.com website and unlock it using nloooo's topic or the "All in one kit".

Sup you are the second samsung guy i know/saw here.(dont bother about the sig is cause I like my warranty).
now big changes from samsung.
Security:
to install custom roms and/or recovery you need an unlocked bootloader(so nice of them).
to install a custom kernel via the same zip as the rom(like we do in samsung) is not possible as they have a security flag that doesnt allow this(its something called S-ON).
also if your device is locked to a network/region the device cannot flash any other regions rom(a little thing called CID).:good:
the stock rom/maybe any other roms /system partition is not writable(there is a module to break this).:good:
More info :
about CID and S-ON the solutions for them are rightly called SUPERCID and S-OFF.:silly:
supercid change the cid value to some constants list like 1111111 or 222222 or 333333(thus making you truly unlocked and able to flash any regions rom).:victory:
S-OFF switches off the s-on security flag and thus allows for the kernel(boot)(and maybe more) partition to be overwritten(i.e r/w).:victory:
there is a method of S-OFF called facepalm that may/should work for all mordern HTC devices(yes that includes desire x:good but needs to be ported (or someone preferably a developer should offer to be a guinea pig for jcase or beansup like jmztaylor was for htc one vx).
for facepalm to work supercid is needed(how to get it same as above i.e needs to be ported or someone preferably a developer should offer to be a guinea pig for jcase or beansup like jmztaylor was for htc one vx):good:
so you are all caught up with the htc awesome(and some ass) ness let the building begin :highfive:

yes in HTC u get it like this.
Bootloader ----(always stays there...... very tough to mess it up)
Recovery -----(Has a separate partition on HTC unlike samsung/sony, where it is part of the kernel)
OS -----(System/data/cache etc etc)
Bootloader/Fastboot lets you flash things(images) onto RECOVERY/SYSTEM/BOOT/DATA partitions.
Dont confuse bootloader with boot.img.
Boot.img is the image which gets flashed onto the boot partition. boot.img contains the kernel and ramdisk.
Recovery.img also contains the kernel and its own ramdisk, so in either case, if u cant boot ur rom, u can always boot to recovery.
Thats it.

your post is correct. But he is interesting in porting cm9/10 and S-ON or S-OFF doesnt matter for that. In either case, there is a way to flash custom rom/kernel etc.... so what we need right now is a device/vendor tree for it.

Wow wow!! HTC is super cautious unlike samsung who let us do anything on phone.
I will study more about all this and get my phone unlocked by some friend.
The only thing that worries me is its dev support. People are dead here.. :silly:

Download Mode on Samsung is pretty similar to our bootloader/fastboot because they have similar functions like USB connection to flash recovery or kernels.

Nice info. I was looking for this. I red anywhere that after unlocking bootloader and installing fastboot/recovery, user should lock bootloader again. Is this correct? Why it is important?

Hi there,
This is mainly directed at devs. How come there are no roms being made for the P768?
The source codes are available for this phone, even for the jelly bean version of firmware. They can be found here. I'm not sure what the prerequisites are for building a rom for a phone, but we have source codes, the ability to unlock the bootloader, root, CWM. Is there anything else that is needed?
Sorry if this all sounds ignorant, I don't know anything about custom rom production, I wouldn't even know where to start
Im just curious, as the 760/765/769 all have CM10 in production and there hasnt been anything for us 768 users, I feel like us 768 users are being left out of the custom rom party
Thanks, donk
p768 user here, hope some one compile cm10 for our variant.
Patiently waiting for this also, hopefully soon.
sounds like we have some test pilots lining up. im down for testing also if anyone gets the ball rolling...

i already tried official cm p760 to our variants. then it works, but had a problem to fix.
Many testers but no developers haha I'm down with this.

I guess on of the reasons is because the 768 isnt as popular and the current devs dpnt have the phone themselves. Also fastboot isnt the same as on 760 its more awkward to work.
I dont know what is needed from a device for development to start but the odds seem to be against us. Maybe when CM10 is fully stable, we might get a port from a kind dev

Yeah man, you should be fine. Are you already rooted? If so, use the locked bootloader method of getting CWM so you can backup your data, Lelus suggested it. I forgot about adding that into the guide.

Hmm no, i didnt yet cause i saw a tutorial in HTCmania (a spanish forum like this) where they use binary's method with v10a (the same i have), i tried but gives me an error (says that located two devices or something like that) so i thought might be 'cause the bootloader is locked that i can't do it.

+1 here i have a P778 but is the same of P768...I wait for a CMD or my device!
really excited about the development taking place here... was disappointed with the development for this model (P768) as I came from the HTC Desire and Desire S forums where development was steady and there were always a plethora of ROMs to pick from with many tweaks and much easier to accomplish rooting, s-offing guides and such.
anyhow I hope my recent ota update to V20A South Africa also simplifies the rooting and bootloader unlocking process which I must admit I have been struggling to achieve on the L9...
I have my BL unlocked and i have got the time, energy and internet connection to do all this
Could anybody help me a bit?
I built cm10.1 for p760. It booted on my 768 but with the camera and torch issue.
I followed this tutorial to try building for p768 using the boot.img of V20A
It did not boot.
I tried using the boot.img built for p760. It did boot, but the screen was not functioning properly so I couldnt check for antything else.
My guesses are that cm10.1 is based on 4.2 and the kernel i used was for 4.1 so maybe that cause the conflict.
Or I need to build a kernel specially for cm10.1.
Could anybody please help me out?

So I updated my phone accidentally to ME7 Build and apparently there isn't a custom recovery for this build yet because of its locked bootloader. Is it possible to install a ROM without using a custom recovery? I want to install a few ROMs that I like from the forums. Can anyone confirm this with me?
