Now before anyone responds by telling me to search the forums I have spent HOURS on XDA going through innumerable forums clicking on dead or misleading links and have not found anything that will help.
My old x10 crapped out on me and I need to reflash it so that SEUS will recognize it. I know what I am doing and have done this before. I have the latest (and multiple copies of older) version of flashtool. This all started with 2.1 randomly shutting down irrespective of what the battery level is. I have had this happen in the past and EVERY time a reflash resolved it.
ALL I need is either the official Rogers 1.6 or 2.1 stock rom. There seem to be HUNDREDS of dead links here and this has become a uber frustrating situation. I have flashed X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200 which 100% solved the reboot issue but now my sd card is no longer recognized. And please don't tell me to try other cards as I have used 6 different capacity and speed cards and none are seen in the phone but ALL work on my pc and on my xperia T. I am using the original 16GB card that the phone came with.
For some reason I can get roms for every other carrier except Rogers so I am suspecting Rogers had them pulled, but SURELY someone here has what I need and can help.
Once I can get it back to stock I can use SEUS or PC companion to update and I will take care of the rooting later, if at all.
So here it is, I am asking VERY nicely...BEGGING in fact...can ANYONE help me get a stock ROGERS rom for my x10?
Following http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmX-IYNYqL8&hd=1 was of zero help as the page shown in the vid has been edited and now does not have any of the links for the firmwares, only the flashtool.
I honestly thank you for any help you can offer here. My kids want\need their phone back and there is no way I can afford to replace it right now...and frankly I shouldn't have to replace it if all I need is the rom. I do apologize if I am coming off like a jerk. That is not my intent. I am just SUPER frustrated and running out of time and searches on XDA have become less than friendly over the past few years...too much content to dig through and too many old/dead links.

Hello everyone!
I recently rooted by phone and now I've been trying to remove the Vodafone bloat-ware from my handset using the titanium application. Unfortunately after so-called uninstalling, the application still remains, why can it be trashed?
The crap strikes back..
You either got to DEBRAND or FLASH to generic to get rid m8, Its vodaphones firmware, but just debrand (i did have a vodaphone x10 until I exorcised the daemon) update to RB2A026, and root, get rid of all the crap, or just debrand and lose the vodaphone crap, but be left with sony ericssons crap lol

Would reflashing the phone with SEUS do the job? Or would i need to achieve this some otber way, sorry I'm not entirely sure how. Is there a tutorial?
Thanks you.
The crap strikes back
If you go back a page you will see some links to forum threads, read these, for flashing you will need to have java6 21 (32bit) runtime enviroment (JRE) and java6 21 (32bit) development kit (JDK) installed on your pc (fbrlashing wont work on 64bit OS unless you have them as it doesnt work on 64bit version) when you done that find the thread NEWBIES GUIDE TO ROOT GIVING YOU THE LATEST FIRMWARE, you will only need the first file (this will flash you generic uk rf16 firmware and as such its standard, no vodaphone crap, after that use SEUS to update to R2BA026 and ySeaou can root this, theres a video on one of the threads that shows how to set up the path for the java.
But be aware this voids your warranty, just take time to read the threads ive linked and the NEWBIE THREAD, any q's just ask
heres the link to thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755332
Thanks for the help fellas.
I don't worry about the warrenty thing - one could always claim/demand a replacement if anything should happen to this one. Ain't that why we insure our mobiles?
Anyway, I've managed to debrand my phone by using this tutorial in Win7, took a couple of goes (it's all about timing) then updated the firmware without all the bloatware (only SE stuff) and so far the phone seems to be happy. Now, I'm just about to re-root the phone and take out all the useless crap I don't use before I install the stuff that's actually useful
Curious. Why can't service providers, provide us with mobiles, like they left the facory? I mean, seriously, who actually uses all that crap?? Ain't it like buying a PC laptop and doing a new install minus all the bloat?
Hey guys.. Since updating to 026 I've notice something a little odd, though it doesn't affect the physical workings of the phone.
Under the notifications tab, my mobi always report there's "no service", yet the signal indicator is on max (four bars) !!! The phone continues to work.
Anyone else notice this??
Hi XDA,
this is my first post, sorry if this sounds a bit spammy, I'm at a loss for how to root and flash for my X10 and hoping someone can help me finally get everything sorted...
I bought my phone in Australia second hand, unlocked from a carrier, but with bloatware out the wahzoo... to make matters more complicated, I now live in Germany.
I have tried to root and flash my X10 on a number of occasions, following the advice found here, but have not been able to get it working due to weird combinations of carrier restrictions, region variations and general lack of experience. It appears as though there are at least 8 different OS versions for the Xperia X10 (or is it X10i?) and I don't even know which mine is.
Can someone please point me in the right direction? I have tried ~5 methods found here and have always encountered an unknown error that doesn't seem to occur for other users...
Thanks!

First, do you have SEUS and Update Service from SE installed on your computer? You need these two software for the drivers for the phone, otherwise Flashtool would not be able to do anything.
Hey all!
First of all, I started a new thread because there are so many replies in Mini CM7 ROM thread and to me it looks (sort of) like a salad. Sorry if I did wrong.
Now, the problem.
A few days ago I managed (I would add that this was not too hard...) to brick my x10 mini. What I did was to relock boot-loader without flashing stock kernel back. After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery wires, I was able to flash an original rom (sadly, SEUS didn't help, it only said that I had the last software installed and the only option showed was exit. So I did another stupid thing, I unistalled SEUS, so bye-bye blob_fs files...), which I downloaded from here. So my phone was back to life and usable. I unlocked the bootloader again and now I can flash any kernel I want. There's only one little problem: no matter what kernel I flash and no matter what rom I install, my phone goes in a boot-loop. The only rom that works is the Orange branded one I used to unbrick my phone. I followed step by step (at least now) all the instructions to install Mini CM7-2.1.1 and Mini CM7-2.13, but no chance, my phone keeps restarting. I even tried to install other custom roms, which are requiring kernel 2.1, with no result. The only one who works is the Orange one.
Now, if anybody could upload the 2.1.1.a.0.6 SE firmware (stock ROM+kernel), I think I might get a chance to solve this (I could only find 2.1.1.c.0.0 and looks like SEUS - at least in my case - doesn't like it). Or if anyone else here knows other ways or have other ideas of how to solve this problem, I'd be very grateful.
Thank you for reading my "book", any help would be much appreciated.
After trying for hours and following numerous guides on the forums here I am at a total loss. I have an LG Optimus 3D P925G and I flashed it and installed a new ROM. I used V21A_00.KDZ to flash it with, I found it here on this forum. I had connectivity issues with my data network which seems to be a common problem among this phone model after flashing. I tried using different ROM's but they either kept freezing my phone or gave no signal at all. All I want now is to go back to Froyo but It wont let me flash due to an error with phone connectivity. Any advice?
Bump...
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me get back to a more stable android OS, I don't care what it is. It wont let me flash down to V10C_00.KDZ which is what I had originally and I really want my 4G connectivity back.
Thanks
Hello Xda community,
Alright after exhausting all other options i have decided to turn to our community in hopes that i can come to some sort of resolution for this matter. Okay i own a Sophix Tab-840g past warranty my problem is my software was causing freeze and reboots i left it that way for a while because it wasn't bothering me. So i waited long enough for them to make a new firmware and i upgraded, however upon doing so i was not able to use the touchscreen. Also, i have no back up...... was a bad move in retrospect. I did some research and found that that the freezing was due to the actual firmware and many people had tried to update running into the same situation where the touchscreen stopped working.
The only difference between when i did it and when they did it is the company had there older firmware available still. That is no longer that case they only have the new firmware and after calling they no longer have old software available. Other people reverted back and atleast there tablet worked, however I CANNOT get the old firmware ANYWHERE........in there guide they talk of the use of update "update-tab840-v02-20130315.img" when using there batch program. The only firmware available is the new one “upgrade-tab840-v03-20130607" i'm looking for the older update "update-tab840-v02-20130315.img" to fix my tablet or a way to fix this touchscreen hard reset is out of the option i have already done this method a couple times, i tried installing from sd, and from the computer all with the same error. Thank you so much for reading this and also for any help i procure. I will be uploading the version of my firmware i have no and the old one if i get it so this can the fix for this dreaded problem with so few forums talking of a fix.
Thank you,
Captainsploof
