Xperia X10 (Locked bootloader) Custom Android 4 of higher - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi people,
This is Burak, from İstanbul/Turkey and sorry about my first post here But I need very urgent response about my issue...
I have a question about mu xperia... I got a Xperia X10i with Locked Bootloader (Cannot be unlocked).... So, the 1st question is;
İs there any way to unlock the bootloader?
and the second is;
is there any rom based on Android 4.0 or higher?
There is a lots of issues that I had with FeraVolt ICS, most of the Google Play applications does not work (Foursquare and Vine Camera Option) and I use those programs very very very frequently... Is there any Custom Android 4.0 or higher version for my phone?
Thanks for now..

ive been having issues with the thing too.... tried like 4 different flashtools. the issue i keep getting is that it says bootloader cannot be permanently unlocked. on 2.3. so i tried going back to 2.1 and using the xrecovery instead of CWM recovery. with 2.1 and xrecovery installed and working i tried again and suprise... it told me my bootloader was unlocked but couldnt be permanently unlocked. so then i got confused and gave up.
that being said im also using feralab v30 final. 2.3.9 and havent had any issues yet. its MUCH MUCH faster then stock 2.3. did not need a bootloader unlock. has a lot of extra tweeks. comes with superuser and whatnot so its prerooted. a cleaning tool. overclock tool. the only trick i learned is that on the website it has a ftf or zip from the kernel. it will tell u for a locked bootloader to use the zip from recovery... but from xrecovery you cant install a kernal and cwm recovery. so use the ftf and flashtool anyways. put the rom on the sd card. flash the ftf of the kernel with flashtools. on reboot keep pressing back button and cwm will open. wipe cache and install the rom. it does it all for you pretty much. there is a 4.0 rom yes and ive tried it. i get a loading loop because of the bootloader being locked. 2.3.9 is the highest ive been able to get so far with any decent stability and speed. but its better then 2.1 or the laggy 2.3 stock rom. also works with most newer apps anyway. 2.1 doesnt even have netflix or text plus. so unless anyone can chime in and help with the bootloader i suggest the newest feralabs rom. i used the general every day one instead of the gaming one. just fyi.

[Q] music lag even after root

hi there im new to the site and i need a little help im running a sony ericsson xperia x10 whitch i rooted due to the music lag all seemed to go well but the music stic lags dont understand, i used this FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec to flash the pone. my question is have i done something wrong.
thanks in advance
Flash the "Audio stutter Fix" by z
It should fix audio lag
I assume if you have only just rooted your phone you have not unlocked your bootloader therefore I would flash wolfs stock based rom its fast has the stutter fix and can be installed on locked bootloader via xrecovery

do i need locked stock or free kernel or unlocked bootloader doomlord or gaming sorry for the noob questions but im new to all this
Just flash the ftf file (kernel)in the rom it works on locked bootloader but remember to backup your rom via xrecovery before flashing

Xperia x10 mini how to root and install a custom rom?

Is there a tutorial for it? What you neet to do step by step. And can you use this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1682966 for the x10 mini to?
read several tutorials – if you’ve never done it before don’t rush into it
Misreading one line of instructions can mess the whole process up and leave you with a dysfunctional phone. Its not as daunting as it seems.. but you do need to know exactly what to do before you do it.... and while your doing it. Also check compatability with model numbers and software versions
for example my phone is an x10 mini pro but if I take the battery out its actually a u20i
Super one click rooted my phone without problems but i found i had to disable usb debugging and re enable it while it was doing its thing
youtube is also a good source for tutorials
I recommend this kernel and rom from NaA
if you have baseband update, the rest y very easy
the requirements are
bootloader unlocking
updated baseband
1.-search the web, update baseband to the exact model, e10i does not equal the E10A
if you install a firmware for another device, you may lose the 3G signal
2.- this post for unlocking Bootloader

HI,
I rooted my sony experia mini e10i successfully using z4root app. now i have to unlock bootloader. what tool should be downloaded , i searched in google., many tools and many views for doing this. i am really confused. Please suggest any good and reliable tool to unlock the bootloader and please also suggest the steps for doing so. should i flash kernel and then rom or both at same time? in some tutorials they said,
1.use CWM ROM manager and flash recovery
2. poweroff and then power on , press back key
3. in recovery mode, wipe all cache,
4. install rom from sd card
Are these steps work fine for me? This is the first time i am trying these flashing custom rom. so am little bit nervous.
Please help....
Hello there.
As many of us, it's also my very first time that i'm attempting to upgrade my x10 mini's android version from 2.1 to 2.3.7 and i'm pretty worry of making it useless (bricking it? )
After spending hours and hours of reading several guides.. i was able to root my xperia, installed and log into CWM (v3.2.0.0-3) successfully. But now i have 15 different guides with 50 different steps to follow.. And now i am pretty stuck upon few basic (yes noobish) questions:
"Unlocking bootloader" means that, after installing CWM or xRecovery, we have to use the flashtool method or are we done with the unlocking part?
After getting done with unlocking bootloader, do we firstly install the new kernel and secondly the new Rom or the opposite?
Is there a way to recognize which Rom requires xRecovery or CWM before its installation?
Thank you in advance!

If you want a ROM that runs on a custom kernel you do need to unlock the bootloader, that's the only tricky part about the whole process
Which order you install kernel and rom doesn't make a difference, as long as the two are meant for each other. That said, it is common practice to install the kernel first and then the ROM.
xRecovery is (usually) only used in old ROMS that run on stock kernel, the 2.3.7 ROM you're aiming for will probably use CWM (Which is included in all custom kernels anyway). Which of the two is required is stated in the opening post of the ROM you choose.
Good luck
SmG67 you're a life saver! God bless you mate. Thank you so much for your fast, clear and accurate reply. The things i was worrying about make sense now. :good:
thnx

I need Help about installing a new Version of Android on my Xperia x10 mini pro

Hi to All! I bought a used xperia x10 mini pro U20I ..and i saw that the Android OS is very old..just 2.1..i thought that i could update it to ICS officially but today i discovered that this update is only for the xperia mini pro (without x10!!!)
.So now i think that i should install a rom..if i can.I tried many method only to root it.,..without success (superoneclick..z4root..nothing) So i ask 2 things..
1)Where can i find a simple guide..very simple, that explain me how to root this phone and install it a custom rom?
2) Which custom Rom (An Android 2.3..or 4.0?) should i install to have a good battery life, the possibility to install new app like viber and, very important, to have a stable phone that doesnt restart randomly? (i read that this happens with some roms).
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ANSWERS!
I Rooted the phone.So just 1 Q.Can you suggest me a Custom Rom..Stable, without bugs, that doesnt make the phone to reboot..or drains battery..and that is compatible with viber?
Thanks!
Use nAa 2.3.7 ROM : Here
Read the instruction with very very very carefully!
I would like to get some more info on rooting it. I can't unlock bootloader coz my phone belongs to the group that won't allow that or it is too risky. What can I do with it? Currently I use 2.1.1.A.0.6

If u cant unlock your bootloader then Bpaul's MiniCM7Pro V21 is the best option...it works on the stock kernel...Only Root your phone using SuperOneClick and install ClockWorkMod Recovery....and then flash the rom:good:
