Hi all X10 fans..
I am also 1 of X10 fan.
I have X10 with
Model - X10i
Android version - 2.3.3
Baseband version - 2.1.71
Kernal version - 2.6.29-000540g5f01537
[email protected] #1
Build number - 3.0.1.G.0.75
I have Installed a 2.3.3 year ago with the FlashTool only, without using xrecovery or other recovery s/w,
and haven't got attracted by any other ROM ever since i have seen your fantastical work of feravolt for.
I would like to go for Installing FeraLab GB v29 ~Sirius~ ROM now,
But For the Initial Start I would like to ask you for a little push.
The way feravolt have specified in "feralab.ru" is a bit Fast, and as i said i was not into upgrading from last 1 year.
Would you please make this simple for me.
I just wanted to know,
1) how can i Install his ROM in my X10 (as specified details above)..?
2) I have Superuser installed in my phone, do i need to Root it. if yes then how?
3) How to find my device have "unlocked bootloader"..?
and if not then how to do it..?
4) is it only installed using xRecovery and not by Flashtool, if yes then how to Boot in Recovery...?
5) How to make partitions.?
6) and further process "Using Aroma ROM Installer thing."..
Thank you in advance for the help..
Note : If some 1 is from India please msg me your contact number so i can talk with you.
If you have Superuser installed on your phone that means it's rooted.
For your bootloader question check this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087
From Fera's site download the ROM and Kernel (locked or unlocked depending on whether you unlocked your BL).
Download latest flashtool and flash the kernel.
Turn on the phone and keep pressing the back button till recovery loads.
You can partition the SD card here if you wish (will delete all data on SD)
Do a clean wipe of everything (data, system, cache, dalvik)
Install the ROM
If you unlocked your BL d/l and install the wifi drivers.
Reboot.
Good luck...

If it matters I've got a sony ericsson X10i from AT&T (North America)
already rooted, using a stock 2.1 rom with .54 baseband.
I want to switch over to 2.2 and fully optimize my device.
This is the procedure I believe I need to go through.
Please tell me if I am missing any steps.
1-Use flash tool to install latest baseband (.55 right? I would appreciate a link to this)
2-Reroot?
3-Install Busy Box and SuperUser Access
4-Install Xrecovery using flash tool?? (would appreciate link)
5-Install "TMR_CM_6.1.3_DesireX10"
6-install dual touch
7-install JIT (Is there a guide to do this for 2.2?)
8-install App2sd (Is there a guide to do this for 2.2?)
So am I missing anything?
dont worry bout the baseband all you need to do is root it (if not yet rooted) install xrecovery, move TMR .zip to your sd card open xrecovery on phone back up rom if you want factory reset wide dalvik cache wipe cache and install custom zip then boot thats it.
might want to install gapps afterwards.
if you already have BB .54 it will keep dual touch and jitm busy boxm xrecovery etc are already included in the rom.
i'm not sure bout the app2sd thing
Use recovery to install, don't use flash tool. Most ROM are released for installing via recovery.
6-install dual touch
7-install JIT (Is there a guide to do this for 2.2?)
8-install App2sd (Is there a guide to do this for 2.2?)
All is included in 2.2
There`s a big confusion here.
1. You don`t need to flash with latest .55 baseband unless you want to. You can find baseband HERE;
2. If you already have root and xRecovery, just install your desired rom directly through xRecovery. ROM
3. If you don`t have xRecovery or others go HERE, download Flashtool and install. If you have ANY dough go HERE to see how FT work.
4. You won`t need to install ANYTHING after. All these ROM/MOD came with all that pre-installed (root, xRecovery, JIT, app2sd, dual toutch, blá, blá, blá)
Period!
Don`t confuse the man. Don`t talk about you don`t really know!!!
Cheers,
Rendeiro
i think z has released an apk for the xRecovery installer.
all you do is to install the apk, then run it.
you'll find the install xRecovery button in that app.
Hi,
I have installed the Android GB 2.3.3 in X10i using SE PC companion software 2 days back. phone is working really fast, battery life improved. I have installed X-recovery and rooted my phone after getting the necessary guidance. the phone is rooted now and i can reboot into x-recovery.
I want to install custom ROM by WB-XPERIA TW Gingerbread V4.0.0. I have downloaded and copied the .zip file to my SD card. i rebooted in x-recovery, but when i update the custom.zip, it give me a error
" E: can't mount SD card
Installation aborted
please guide me on this as soon as possible
Regards
Uday
I think that maybe this is caused if you are not using the latest version of x-recovery. Wolf wrote about it at the the start of the thread under the installation instructions. You could try that. Someone else here might be able to advise you better...
Hi,
correct you need a GB ready xRec version. There is an update for the FlashTool which contain this new version.

I already have the latest version of xrecovery 0.3, but still i am getting the same error.
I checked in some of the forums and I heard that we cannot install a custom ROM with rooted android 2.3.3. we need to flash android 2.1 and install this custom ROM which has got the latest kernel and baseband .71. Is that true, can anyone confirm it ?

I recommend flashing back to 2.1, extra step but it's worth it having the clean install.
What I did:
Flash 2.1 in Flashtool
Root 2.1 in Flashtool
Install Xrecovery in Flashtool
Reboot in Xrecovery
Factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Wipe battery stats
Flash GB ROM
Do NOT reboot, remove battery to reset phone
Flash BB .71 in Flashtool
Reboot and ur good to go!
I haven't had any problems since I switched back to WB's new version

I would go with this also if you are having problems. You can get the stock 2.1 ROM if you need it by searching for the Flashtool. The stock ROMs are on the same post (I cant add links here, sorry!).
I'm also on V4 of Wolfbreak ROM and it's the best one i've used so far!
I own a SE Xperia X10i since it got released. Current versions of software in my phone are:
Model: X10i
Android: 2.3.3
Baseband: 2.1.71
Kernel: 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 / [email protected] #1
Build: 3.0.1.G.0.7.5
Files and programs I have and use:
- Flashtool 2.9.1
- ulBlDoom.zip (for unlocked bootloader, obtained via forumthread of ROM named above)
- x10_gb_DooMKernel-v06-FS_wifi.zip (for unlocked bootloader)
- Speed&Hotfix004.zip
I wanted to flash a the Wolfs TW Gingerbread V7b6 custom ROM, but I had troubles getting the WiFi module to work. Here is what I did:
00) Copied all relevant zipfiles on the sdcard of my phone
01) Used Flashtool 2.9.1 to downgrade kernel with aZuZu loader.sin (supplied with flashtool)
02) Root (using flashtool Root button)
03) Used Flashtool 2.9.1 to upgrade kernel with aZuZu loader.sin (supplied with flashtool)
04) Used flashtool to install xRec
05) Rebooted phone to update Superuser and Busybox to latest version available on market
06) Rebooted in xRec and made a backup of the current rom
07) xRec: Factory Reset (full wipe), wipe Cache, wipe Dalvik as said in Wolfs TW GB thread
08) xRec: Install custom zip (ulBlDoom.zip)
09) xRec: Install custom zip (x10_gb_DooMKernel-v06-FS_wifi.zip)
10) xRec: Install custom zip (Speed&Hotfix004.zip)
10) Reboot phone
At this point the phone reboots and starts loading the new custom ROM. It fully starts and I can see that it actually is the new ROM. All functions seem to work (didn't test much though), except WiFi. Whenever I try to enable wifi from the menu it says "fault", right after pushing the softbutton.
I read all kinds of threads here on the forum, but I am too inexperienced to figure out what is wrong. All the information I find overwhelmes me and confuses me more and more.
Anyone here who can tell me what I missed or did wrong?
First of all man, there is flashtool ver. 7 and u using 2.9? Now u just click root and this is the end.
U should do it again, it will help for sure.
So repair phone in pc companion, reboot, check usb debbuging in settings, turn on newest flashtool, plug in turned on phone to pc, click root (wait a while, phone restarts) do not unplug, click instal xrecovery and this is first part.
If battery is low charge to 100%, copy all files to sd card, reboot in xrecovery, install rom and reboot, i think its better to reboot any time u flash sometnig, not all together. So reboot do not do anything skip everything wait a 5 min and reboot in xrec again then install wifi fix and reboot, not so sure about this Speed&Hotfix004.zip i cant remember Ive installed them, but for now try just rom and wifi fix and let me know will it work for u

Flashtool version 8 even! Don't know how i got to 2.9. Perhaps found it somewhere in the Demonlord kernel thread. The full folder name is "FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec".
I am going to try what you said, do the rooting and unlocking part, and then install the ROM.
On the previous attempts the rooting etc. went fine though. Got exactly the same results as suggested by the various how-to's explaining the procedure.
Hi all i cant get the flashing to work..
im following the [ROOT][FTF][locked/unlocked]Neo/Neo V Official 4.0.4 ICS 4.1.B.0.431; 4.1.B.0.587. thread
and tried Rosh547467 example
1- ICS 4.0.4(4.1.B.0.587)
2. Still locked bootloader. (my phone is unlocked as what i can see with SE bootloader)
3. Flashed 4.1.A.0.562 kernel using Flash tool. (flashtool wont work, its just stuck in "1- unplug the device window" when i try to flash. so i tried SE Bootloader_Unlocking_Relocking and actually did flash 4.1.A.0.562. BUT choose the version with only the kernel and loader. So now the phone dosent have a rom to work correctly.)
4. Done rooting with the help of DooMLoRD's script. (then tried to use this. just keep geting adb drivers to old or waiting for device.)
these bellow i havent tried becouse im stuck.. :crying: I really need help badly..
5. Flashed back 4.1.B.0.587 kernel using Flashtool.
6. Root success. .Tested with rootcheck apps from google play store.
7. Installed CWM from x-part app downloaded from google play store.
8. Installed Titanium backup app and took back of whole app+data.
9. Downloaded custom ROM Xperia ultimate HD 3.0.2 and installed using cwm reboot recovery.
10. Reinstalled my old applications from google play store and restored data from Titanium backup.
Flashing ftf doesnt require root or unlocked BL. you just need correct drivers and latest flashtool.
But if you have unlocked BL, then via fastboot flash any custom kernel which have CWM preinstalled. then flash SuperUser.zip via CWM. you'll be rooted.
i did get this to flash [boof KERNEL] WITH CWM AND ROOT FOR MT11i BASED ON 4.0.2.A.0.62 FIRMWARE
and installed superuser via cwm
and put the zelly cream 2.5.2 rom in.
but when the phone start up, I just get the sony logo. Then it stops
then i found that zelly cream wants suave-kernel. but now im stuck on no wi-fi..
AW: big problem with flashing

Try to reboot your phone. Also look if suave requires extra WiFi modules to work. Mostly they can be flashed with cwm.

Nop sorry dint help. got suave-kernel-v6 on it now but i cant find any wifi modules..
At last it sorted. In my quest do make the rooting and flashing work i did over look one thing.
You need to
4. Wipe data/factory reset.
5. Wipe cache partition.
6. Wipe dalvic cache under advanced menu.
7. Wipe battery stats under advanced menu.
8. Format data under mount and storage menu.
9. Format system under mount and storage menu.
10. Format cache under mount and storage menu.
before you install the Rom :silly:
But now my wife wont kill me, becouse i played with her phone :victory:
hi,
here's the steps I did :
1) I had on phone last official sony android firmware 4.0.4 version.
2) rooted the phone and unlocked the phone : ok
3) tried to load custom rom ultimate hd but no success, phone was blocked on the initial logo
4) downloaded official sony emma tool in order to load the original firmware:
the only option was android 2.3.6 and I was able to load it and phone worked again;
5) rooted again the phone,
6) now pc companion pops up with message of possible update to 4.0.4; try to do it but
message error got, update is not possible due to modified firmware.
here's my question : how I can got again android 4.x in general starting from android 2.3.6?
Never mind is not the official one, I 'm interested to any rom 4.x (working ok of course, maybe optimax)
that can be downloaded on the phone.
Is it possible to have all the steps in detail? I'm not so familiar with flashtool.
Thanks/andropagp

- make sure you have installed the android sdk (just press install packages) & install flashtool allways IN main drive (not in subfolder) also install the proper drivers from drivers folder of flashtool install.
how to get to official 4.0.4 ROM using flashtool (only way after bl unlock..) (dl & good explanation there)
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Andro...y-Bean-ICS-Ice-Cream-Sandwich-and/td-p/154389
how to install custom ROM: 1st check if you need a custom kernel --> b)
a) no custom kernel need (& you still have stock kernel FROM SONY ICS UPDATE!)
- install CWM recovery by x-parts tool found in xperia arc apps thread
- place rom & other needed files (maybe gapps) on SD
- boot to CWM. select wipe data/ factory reset.
- install ROM as mentioned on thread.
- boot.
b) if you use a custom kernel CWM is mostly inside. so just press vol down contunesly on boot screen (on very 1st)
- place rom & other needed files (maybe gapps) on SD
- boot to CWM. select wipe data/ factory reset.
- install ROM as mentioned on thread.
- boot

Many thanks, I was able to load the official rom; it was easy.
Just a note : I was not able to download flashttol and rom from link provided for free.
I was anyway lucky, because I already doownloade din the past the rom and
old version of flashtool; i used them and everything was ok.
Next step will be to load a custom a ROM
thanks again/angropagp
