Hi, this is a bug that appears only to a few phones, really rear. Make sure that you bootloader is unlocked before you do anything else. From here on there are two options: either preinstall the phone or flash new firmware (ftf). This will fix your phone. The only thing that you need to do after is to flash doomkernel that will give you recovery. If you still want to flash my rom you need to install wifi modules as the kernel has some problems with it. So the installation will look like this - flash part 1 then 2, the other fixes and finally flash the wifi modules. Peace

Thanks for your replying Denie, My phone was unlocked, and it had feralab rom (I dont remember what name exactly was). Due to feralab was very slow so I decided to change ROM.
I installed xrecovery according to the right procedure, and followed the step that you mentioned in the beginning of this post to install advance xperia x10i rom, and it worked for me. I very liked this rom because it´s what I looking for, except the WIFI bug. Then I tryed to flash again but I forgot to do the first boot after flashing the first .zip. Finally, I couldnt bootup neither get into xrecovery again.
Can you send me some recovering procedure and link to download the new firmware? also please indicates the link to download the stable version of doomkernel.
Appreciated very much your help, thank you!
Tethering is not working

I see, so here is what you have to do:
1. make sure you have flashtool as you're going to need it
2. download the two attached files, one is the kernel itself ( it is .ftf just unrar it) which you have to flash using flashtool, the other is to be flashed using xrecovery (wifi modules)
3. download the firmware from the link : http://www.mediafire.com/download/v...3.0.1.G.0.75_GLOBAL-GGL_GENERIC_1232-9897.rar it is a rar file, just pull the ftf file out from it.
4. start flashtool and flash the firmware, as you should know everyhing from your phone will be deleted
5. after the firmware is flashed, flash the kernel (the ftf file) the absolutely same way the firmware is flashed
6. start the phone, when you see the blue light on the phone start pressing the back button in order to get into xrecovery, from there flash the wifi modules and you're done. You'll have a stock rom with fully customized kernel so you can start from the beggining and flash any rom you wish.
NOTICE: the two attached files are property of DoomLord, thank him if you like the kernel
As for the tethering i'm aware that this bug can appear but usually hard reset or preinstalling the rom will clean it out.
Thanks for help!

Dear Denie,
Many thanks for your procedure, right now my phone is working at least. However after the step 4, I was trying to flash Doomkernel ftf file with flashtool and I found the following error message:
15/004/2014 15:04:20 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
15/004/2014 15:04:20 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
What is the problem?

Glad you made progress! Not really sure what actually causes this error, it may be flashtool or the ftf file. This had happened to me several times. Here's what to do:
when you choose the ftf file to flash check the NO FINAL VERIFICATION box, this should do. Keep in mind that this is risky because if you choose to flash ftf file that is not made for your phone, flashtool will not cancel the flashing operation and that will brick your phone. That's why make sure that you flash the right file , other than that this so called fix, is safe to use.
You better download the kernel from attachment again, sometimes files mess up when downloadin, no idea why. Be sure to notify me for any progress you do so that i can help.

Then the only way you can flash it is to check no final verification on flashtool, this should do, check the attached screenshot if you don't understand what to do.

You need the wifi modules for Doomlord's kernel in order for the wifi to work. check this post and download the attached files, only the attached files. Flash the kernel via flashtool, flash the modules via xrecovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56549160&postcount=6
I did not see the post above, but the problem and the same as mine.
That does not happen because the kernel version is not the X10i?
Error: h t t p : / / tinypic.com/r/2vsln2t/8
You could not upload the modules to your wifi?
Because no module that I downloaded works.
or could tell me what are the files of parte2 that interfere with wifi, so I delete.
Thank you in advance!

This is strange, i'll flash these files myself, another thing that comes to my mind is to look for a new version of flashtool or at least different version. Will write back as soon as i test the files.

Keeping it quick, as i need to eat dinner,
I try to install JIT enabler v2
via xrecovery,
did as told to wipe dalvik cache
Now phone can access xRecovery, but cannot boot, it took one day.
Any Ideas?
ALso for extras, i am wanting to install Jereplea's cm 7.0.2 (2.3.3) ROM, but it is in .,rar format, so i cannot flash it via xrecovery. I'm not sure how to use flashtool, as it needs some .ftf file that i cannot find, and it will not allow me to flash.
Didn't you made a backup with xrec? Restore if you did. If not, install again 2.1 rom. You can find tft files in the first post of Flashtool thread.
About J's CM7, maybe the zip is in the rar file. Just extract it.

I backed up with titanium root,
Yeh, i'll try that
TY
Btw, how do you flash baseband 52?
Its needed for J's CM7 rom.
I can find firmware stuff, but i dont know exactly how to make a .ftf thing.
OK, titanium backup is not the same. It makes backup of apps, not the whole rom.
You can slash firm .504, it comes with bb 52.
Download the tft, put it in /firmware forlder of flashtool (on the computer). Then start fashtool, connect x10 and hit Flash button, choose the tft file and go on.

wow... this is wrong information/ some of it anyway.
first.... 435. comes with .54bb not 52. second. be more helpful and not give links he has to chase around....
flash tool is very easy to use once you have it installed... if you still have recovery dont flash a fresh install of a 2.1 your wasting time.
if revoery works. download the winrar program for the cwm file that you want to install. its like winzip slightly differnet. it will then give you the flashable zip you want. most likely it is named updat.zip. put that on your sd card.
if you need the .52bb yes it is included in the folder with the rom. it is in tft format already... drop that into the firmware folder where you have flashtool located. then simply click on flash.. it will show the .52 files there will be several.
if they are not there... click on the advanced tab and scroll to bottom where it says bundle creation click on it and find the tft file you inserted into the firmware folder and when it opens the window up. drag all files from left to right and name the open spots at the top right. when done flash.
after that... reboot into recovery locate your zipfile for cm7 and let it install. voila your done
My bad. .504 is with bb 52. Thanks for correction.
@SErooted Be more helpful???? Stfu! I gave the guide for flashtool for noobis and he has to learn and No, he doesnt have recovery, so he need to flash fresh 2.1. Read my friend, don't post unuseful comments!

Now phone can access xRecovery, but cannot boot, it took one day.
and i dont know what Stfu means.. but i wasnt trying to be rude. and that sounds rude... really the only thing i was trying to correct you on was the bb difference with 435.
there was no need to be rude...
also. i saw that you posted link for flashtool.... but if he had recovery which it seemed like he did state in first post. i thought i would make it a little easier on him if that was true.
relax bro.. be happy in life
BTW: your right... i did make comment about links. other than that. i feel my information might be of help to this person either way.
Hey guys, my eng is fine.
Regarding CM7,
it doesnt seem to have any signal or phoning abilities
no mac, or bluetooth address or anything.
:/
SOmetimes with random reboots.
EDIT:
I have all basic copies of roms and i have access to recovery, SO I AM NOT A NOOBIE THANKU!
I appreciated your correction about the firm. Thats alright. In his second post, he said that he got only a backup from TB, not from xrec. That's why I told him to flash new 2.1.
The way you are explaining the other things is even harder for me to understand what you are trying to say. (And beleave me I understand allot of Android and X10) So for him maybe will be harder to understand about all that zips and stuff.
Me not trying to be rude neither. Lets see if we helped the guy or we got him confused

OK, you've flashed CM7 over bb 52 right? The one provided by J in his package?
i suppose your right... there are some things i read that seem more difficult than they are and i also have read things that seem easy and are hard as hell.
Jinglejo... to you iwasnt trying to be rude when i commented on your english
G-face... wasnt trying to be rude to you either with same comment
Jinglejo, good to know that your not a noob. might be a little easier to help you out beings it looks like you know whats up with your x10...
if i was to break it down in steps 1234....
1. Recovery works.... thats good
2. unrar the cwm file that you downloaded.
the tft files for bb .52 are included
3. take that file and drop it into firmware
4. open flashtool and click on advanced.... scroll down to bundle creation...
locate the file... is should read x10_52_changebaseband
5.once selected. a new window wil pop up. the files will be in .sin format now....
highlight all and drag to the box on the right.... top three boxes have to be filled in..
6.select ok and wait for files to be ready.
7. when done. click on flash...select firmware .52... hit ok..... wait till you are prompted to connect in flash mod... then connect and wait.
8. when done, reboot and wait for signal to appear..
9. once you have signal, reboot into recovery.
10. clear dalvik-cache, battery stats.
11. install your cm7 from J.
12. let us now if any of this works for you.
Im not confused, its just it says the baseband is unknown
So do i flash in the baseband 52?
J only gave us this bunch of .sin files and
Rendeiro gave a broken link to baseband 52.ftf that does not download properly.
Can you find me a link for it or tell me how to bunch up these .sin files to form a .ftf file?

yes flash in the bb .52.
locate the .sin files from where you have them stored and go to advanced and do bundle creation.
i was being stupid when i said it was in tft format ( my apologies) they are in .sin
once you have done a bundle creation it turns it into a tft then when you choose the file from flashtool. it shows them again as .sin
flash this and you should be good to go with radio
Disregard the other comment,
the mod doesnt seem to go off aeroplane mode, how can i turn it off?

im not sure if that rom coms with devtools installed or not...
however if it does... open it up go to bad behavior. and click on crash system server...
if not... you may have to go with G's option and start fresh with a new install..
in that case if you have to do that... right after flashing the 435 firmware... root it, install recovery, power down... flash bb 52 then install the rom.
after that it should work fine without problems

The 2.3 ROM reboots quite often when im fiddling with it.
It does come with dev tools.
fiddled with it, aeroplane mode prob is fixed
apparently, the rebooting is kernel related.
Hi
I want to flash my X10i with a custom ROM, but I'm a big time noob. I have been digging these forums for the past 2 hours as to what to flash and how. Decided to flash Wolf's TW Gingerbread 2.3.3 v 4.0.4. But I'm not sure how to go about this.
My phone stats:
model number x10I
firmware version 2.1
baseband version 2.1.54
kernel version 2.6.29
build number 2.1.A.0.435
I haven't done ANYTHING with my phone yet. It is not locked with any carrier, or whatever you call it. I bought the phone. Please let me know how to go about this. I have downloaded the below from wolf's post.
Wolf_GB_2.3_TW_V4.zip for Baseband 71 (The ROM itself!)
FTF bundle (2.3.3 kernel and baseband .71)
Much appreciated!
..JusT Try 2 Help..
You better UpDate your 2.1 X10i with PC Companion/SEUS to GB 2.3 first DuDe..
After that download a Flash Tool and follow TuT carefully from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196808
Try it and let me know if you've any problem..
If your phone is 2.1, you can easily root it so you can install xrecovery 0.3.
Search the Flashtool tutorial; root and install xrec and then you just have to install Wolf's package trough xrec

How did you installed xrecovery ?
Did you used the recovery .apk installer?
Follow this process...

1. download flashtool from above link.
2. connect you phone in the flash mode (back button pressed)

Please report back if this fixed your issue...
Also, FYI... in order to flash 2.3 you need to even flash the 2.3 baseband and kernel... Just follow the dev's instruction (better use wolf ROM)...

But ur phone is rooted right?
Open flash tool in ur comp.
Just connect phone (not in flash mode, just the normal mode).
Flash tool will detect your x10.
Just hit the button "install recovery".
this will install/repair ur xrecovery.
Please try and let me know if this worked...

Also do a batery stats wipe as well, as it will solve a lot of problems in the future.

My personal experience:
Had WB 3.5
When 4.04s came out, did update to 4 and then to 4.04.
But had issues with Titanium Backup etc., etc. Kind of not so fast ROM it was.
Did backup everything, formatted sdcard etc.
Flashed 2.1 Generic
Upgraded with SEUS to 2.3.3
Rooted
Then did 4.0 and 4.04 updates
Did reinstall from market needed software, not restore with Titanium Backup (except some, unrelated to system).
NOW it runs superfast and supersmooth! I figure - thats how it was supposed to run. No ANY issues at all.
P.S. My battery holds 3 full days with normal usage.
does anyone have issues with lag when using live wallpapers

I tried to flash a new kernel from Flashtool.
First time i did that i went perfect!
I wanted to try another ROM which needed another kernel, and now i'm not able to do anything!
This is what Flashtool reports:
29/057/2012 22:57:56 - INFO - <- This level is successfully initialized

Can anyone help? or do I have to buy a new cellphone
Sorry for my poor english!
What happened when you tried SEUS?
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
SEUS tells me that the cellphone has the newest software.
When I start the cellphone it never goes further than to the "Sony Ericsson" startscreen. When i try to enter CW recovery it gives me a strange looking screen with green colors. How can I restore CW recovery and how can I install a kernel again?
Try flash stock rom by Seus, you can do it even if SEUS show you that you already have the newest software, and than root, install recovery, instal GB rom and than flash kernel
And remember to unlock bootloader before flash kernel!
Which kernels and rom did u flashed?

I have tried to find a way to flash stock rom with SEUS, but it is not possible. There is no way to manualy do so.

hi, i was flashing the same kernel onto my sisters x10 mini pro and when i went to flash i got the error before it allowed me to flash the kernel, i used PC companion to repair, located in the software update section once i did that, i just unlocked the bootloader and root. hope this helps you.
I have triede with pc companion, it will not let me update, and it is not possible for me to put the phone into USB debugging, because the phone do not startup. I realy hoped that someone other than me has had this error before. But when I google the error, it doesn't come up with much.

I guess there's nothing to do then. I hoped there was some one other than me who had experienced the same as I did. Can anyone tell me if there is other things to try before I throw it into the graveyard.

Hello, I just recovered a friend's phone from this problem. Nothing worked before but I found the solution, at least for me.
First I want to tell what I tried:
Flashing with PC Suite
Flashing with PC Companion
Flashing with FlashTool
Flashing with SETool Box 2
Nothing worked. Mainly because the dumbass of my friend tried to update latest version while it failed (don't know if battery problem, cable or whatever).
The problem is that it just hanged in "Sony Ericsson" screen and not recovery possible.
And when flashing I got:
ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
=== Now how I solved it ===
What I did is download the u20i1.6 binary fron XDA developers. It said it's a zip but it's just a RAR.
I had to uncompress it in a folder. And create a bundle with FlashTool with those files. I will try to upload this.
Then I flashed it. It worked without the error.
-------------------
- At the time of writing this. I upgraded the phone with the PC Companion but
- after updating the phone just got hanged again. It just flash red light when
- swithing on. I don't know why. Have to see.
- Update: Was not hanged I just had to force off (long press on the power button) and then on. The PC Companion finished updating.
- Update: Flashed last version and now SETool Box2 is not able to unlock. Better to stay on 2.X.

Hello guys, i had finally made up my mind to root my xperia neo V, i learnt that i have to "Downgrade to 0.42" version and then root my phone, so i downloaded .42 firmware and latest version of Flashtool i.e 0.9.1.0 , i did all steps correclty, checked all checkboxes correctly, at 13% that flashing is simply stuck, no messages nothing,
so i tried with another version of Flashtool, i,e 0.6.8.0, but that also went in Vain, same stuck at 13%, this is the log,
it gets stuck at system.sin,
i tried checking, 'Exclude System' and then flashed, then it gets flashed upto 100%, but while booting phone is stuck @ 'Sony Logo',
another thing i want to tell is, "Already when i bought this phone it had .62 version installed in it, no .42" , it this the reason for not successful flashing?
my phone is completely dead guys, please help me ASAP, pleading you all, please. i have also posted in talksonymobile.com, please somebody help me, please guys

First of all just make sure that you have installed the drivers for your device.. If not then go to C:Flashtool/drivers
Then, as you said you checked all checkboxes.. You don't need to do that!
Just check on the following, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe apps log..
Trust me I have flashed firmware like 100 times using this method and it has worked correctly!
Do as I said!
All the best!

if it was .zip or .rar try repair option in winrar
u dont need to downgrade to .42 to root it you cant root .62 it by flashing attachment via cwm
download .62 and flash that and root it with the attachment

Try downloading the files again, it may be corrupted a download. You may try using a different computer. You can also try flashing an ICS image.
If you still have locked bootloader you can use SUS or PC Companion to try repairing your phone.
There is another option called WotanServer but it is not free, it will cost you about 2 EUR.
PCCompanion (Or SEUS) will always fix your phone as long as you have not unlocked bootloader.
It will restore your phone to the latest "Out of the box" official firmware.
Google and download and follow the instructions.
If it says your phone already has the latest software click on "repair phone".
Remember, if you have NOT unlocked the bootloader yet you CANNOT break the phone permantly....PCCompanion will always restore it.
hey guys, its working, some how, didnt try anything new, just kept on trying all combinations, some how it worked, all thanks to you ppl, hey, if i update my OS via PC COmpanion will it get UNROOTED? first of all how to find out whether my phone is rooted or not? and if i want a rooted ICS wat shud i do? please tel me, ALL HAIL XDA, bravo to all!! love u

OK, Download flashtool and use that to root and install a recovery. You can also unlock the bootloader (If you want).
Then you will be able to install any ROM you want.
As for usb otg, read it up in the theme and app section.

no final verification box missing
hello guys,
Am sorry to be off topic, but I need answer to this question. I was about to use flashtool 6.9. when I discovered that the boxes for 'no final verification' and 'exclude T.A' are missing. what can I do? thanks.
Hi guys,
My X10 Mini (rooted), when powered on, continuously restarts when it reaches the screen with the Sony Ericsson roundel. For those of you who have looked at my posts before about switching phones and transferring app data, this phone's screwing up is the main reason for those threads and thank you to those who answered.
For now, can anyone help me with this restarting problem? And btw pressing the home button and the power button doesn't help either, it just restarts the phone and continues this annoying restarting cycle.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You have a so called bootloop. Do you have a custom kernel on it? Can you enter the recovery mode?
If all those are answered with "no" then you can choose from flashing a custom kernel with CWM recovery and flashing a custom ROM (if you have unlocked your bootloader) or if you have the stock kernel on it then simply repair it with SEUS (you loose user data either way)

You've only rooted your phone i think, so xrecovery is not available on your phone. But it would be the white sony ericsson letters (kernel logo) where you would press the back-button.
Not sure either if you managed to save your data, but i would suggest a repair with SUS or PC Companion. that will destroy your data but probably restore your phone to working order.
I may have a different option that 'might' keep your user-data, but i can't make any promise on that, since i didn't try it myself. Download. It's original SE 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware that's flashable using Flashtool. I took out the userdata.sin, so the data partition 'should' remain untouched, preserving your userdata, but as said, i don't guarantee that.
(If you use flashtool, make sure you delete x10blrelock.ftf from the firmwares subfolder in order to avoid mistakes and brick your phone even further)

What the Sony Update Service normally does when repairing firmware, is flash the original and latest available software for your phone. This consists of the original bootloader, the original kernel, the original baseband, the original 'over the air' update mechanism (which you don't need since SE doesn't do updates for our phones anymore), the original system and the original userdata ( this includes various bloatware that came bundled with the phone ).
It's the quickest and easiest way to reset your phone to it's original factory state, but since it overwrites everything on the phone you will lose any apps, customization or data you may have stored (this does NOT include data on the sd-card, which remains untouched by the process).
What I did in that Download link i gave you, is remove the things you wouldn't want, like the over-the-air updater bits and the userdata bits. What this means is that the /data partition 'should' remain untouched when applying that package using flashtool.
If your earlier attempts to rescue your data were succesful, then there is no danger in flashing it, since it gives you a fresh firmware state that should solve your bootloop problems. You can always root your phone afterwards and restore your backed-up userdata again.
In case you didn't manage to backup your data earlier, then this is the probably the least destructive of all the options you have, since 'in theory' it won't touch your data-partition.
I usually use the full version for people who have bricked their phone and need it back to factory defaults (that included me at some point too). It is flashable on a phone with a locked bootloader, since it's all original SE firmware.
There are only two things that could go wrong as far as I can see:
First: It may still destroy your data, although in theory it shouldn't.
Second: Your bootloop may be caused by corrupted settings that are stored on your data-partition and you may still get a bootloop after flashing. In that case i can give you the full version too, which will restore your phone back to original factory-state.
To use it install flashtool (first post in x10 mini dev section, second in x10 mini pro dev)
Go into the /firmwares subfolder and delete x10blrelock.ftf
Place the downloaded .ftf file in there
Start flashtool
Click the button with the lightning-bolt on it in flashtool
Choose flash-mode
Select the firmware package
Press ok and wait till it's done
Keep your fingers crossed and reboot your phone

That's the theory yes
Normally, .ftf files are used to flash custom kernels, and the rest of your internal memory remains untouched in that process. So in theory, flashtool shouldn't touch anything that is not in the .ftf package, and since i removed the userdata part that should remain as it is now.
But then, for all the 'logic' that's inherent in computers, things are not always 'logical' for us analog beings

Hey SmG67,
Thanks for your help. What do you mean by "place the downlaoded .ftf file in there"? What file are you talking about?
Thanks

I'm sorry, I'm rather confused. How many download links did you give me? And where do I put each file, and what are their names? It's just that you have said that you gave me a download link in an earlier post, and put that file in the /firmwares subfolder. Which folder is it?
Sorry, is it possible if you could give me another quick set of instructions on what I need to do, and repost the download link to prevent confusion?
Thanks, and sorry for any inconvenience,
DrShellgon

This is the download link, the file is called x10mini (E10i)_2.1.1.A.0.6_LNO.ftf and it's about 208Mb large.
Look up the folder where you installed Flashtool, and in that folder is a subfolder called /firmwares. Put the downloaded file in there (and while you're at it, delete x10blrelock.ftf)
Then start flashtool and press the button with the lightning-bolt on it, choose flashmode and select the package (There's only one choice, so that should be easy enough)
In the box to the right it will list the contents of that package, it should have loader.sin, kernel.sin, system.sin and about three others. Press the ok-button and when it asks to connect your phone, plug in the usb-cable and press home-and powerbuttons together so the phone restarts. It should enter flashmode automatically.
Good luck
Hi SmG67, thank you very much for your help. I will try out your instructions when I find the time. If you ever test it, can you let me know?
Thanks
