Please Guyz..help me how can i get Market application on my X10i phone..
latest software update with no rooting!!!
thanks and sorry for bothering...
Hi.
You may need to flash it, as some countries don't seem to be supporting it. Use one of the root guides here, possibly the two step version my be best in this instance.

Hey guys,
I got my Hero not to long ago and realized that it has no Marketplace. I worked out that this is because the device is from South East Asia and the marketplace is unavailable. I am running 2.73.728 (typo in the title)
How can I root my device and get the Marketplace? I've tried the Unlockr's method but when using Flashrec I get an error (Backup FAILED: Image is invalid.)
If someone could point me in the right direction, and perhaps explain how I could successfuly root my phone, it would be much appreciated.
I'm quite new to HTC and am unclear on how this all works.
Thanks guys.
You will need to downgrade to flash the recovery image
I have a South East Asian device as well, although mine is the Singaporean one which came with the Market app installed. The instructions here let me downgrade to 2.73.405.5, which let me root the phone.
I've since installed MoDaCo's custom ROM on there, but if you just want to run the stock software with root, those instructions are the way to go. (Of course, you can choose to flash any ROM after following them... it's entirely up to you.)
Thanks for that. Turned out that I just had to download the same ROM from the official site, install that, flashrec and follow the instructions.
I think the main problem was that it couldn't make a back up, and I wasn't going to root it without a backup.
Try to follow the instruction from below link

Hello everyone,
I'm new to Android as well, and just like Motleymoo I'm trying to root my Hero, but before that I want to backup my original before flashing. I read instructions on many forums out there and of course everything I could find here on XDA as well but so far no way. It seems this is due to later Build Number after 2.73.4... with further protections from HTC. Couldn't find anything to backup from this build before flashing so far. Any suggestions out there?
Btw, my device is SE Asia as well, bought in Hong Kong a week ago.

Didn't you read the link posted above? Use the gold card method...
Hi,
I am from India and bought an HTC Legend with HBoot version 0.43.xxxx. I want to root my device. I have checked all the methods and everywhere, it says that I need a s/w version 1.31.xxx.x.
However, my s/w version is 1.32.720.3 after applying an update from HTC. Even before the update, it was in the range of 1.32.xxx.x. Does that mean I can never root?
Some users in another thread have suggested that those with this problem should get a WWE ROM from somewhere and flash with it to get s/w version 1.31.xxx.x. How to downgrade to a lower s/w version? I could not find any reference on that!
Please help. Can one of you come up with a tutorial for flashing HTC Legend with s/w version 1.32.xxx.x. This has become a much needed tutorial. There are so many people looking for it and it can be found nowhere! Please please help!
As far as I know you need to have root to install an older rom, which defeats the purpose.
Users with software version 2.03 are in the same boat. We just have to wait it out until someone can do it.
ok guys so i went out and got the x10i.
the guy that sold it to me said it was brought from europe. the phone is new and i am updating it now to get 2.1 on it.

hi everybody I have tried to root my xperia x8 because i wanted to update the android version to 2.1 , i downloaded the superoneclick 1.5.1 and i did all the steps i've read here but at the end it says "FAILED the device was not rooted" and in my phone it appears the superuser aplication but i can't access to the root explorer because this message appears:"Root explorer has not yet managed to obtain root access.Because of issues with Superuser, this often happens the first time the app is run but is usually fine from then on."
I have no idea of what is happening , i did all the steps:i put my phone in debug mode , then connect the phone and click "root" and it is still not rooted :S
If someone can help i would be very happy , i'm about to become crazy :S
HI
If you have android v1.5 Donut and you want to upgrade too android 2.1 just install PC Companion (Sony Ericson software that you get with the phone in the box) and let the aplication search for any update of firmware for X8.
actually i have 1.6 version i've tried to update it with pc companion but it says that it has the latest version....
Where do You live?
You have tried to update your phone via PC companion?
PC companion>Support zone>start> ... And it says that u have latest software?
Check phone status do You really have 1.6?
I live in Peru
yes i've tried that and i still have the firmware version in 1.6
help me please
You don't need to root your android to do the upgrade.. xD just upgrade with sony ericsson update service, and after that you can root your phone normally using 2.1 firmware..
Although, you need to substituite a file in superoneclick: "thecage.." to "neuter" but rename to the original.. (sorry if i can't explain well, but i'm portuguese and i'm 16.. xD) search on the forum or wait so i can post the zip file already working, because i don't have it on my phone..

He's in peru and it might not be updated there. There's no such thing as world availablity for sony-ericsson - it's different all over.
My best guess for you would be to use the flash from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962014
There's at least 3 links to it, not sure if the torrent is still working.
It's set as russian CDA number, but you can change that - look on x8 forums for way to change CDA (don't have time to help with that just now )
also LuisDias, as he's from peru he might be able to understand some of your portoguese
Peru? I didn't read that part.. XD anyway, i can speak spanish if he didn't understand portuguese.. xP

Yeah, we are in lucky situation in Europe, but south-american telcos didn't deal 2.1 version. Even nor some providers in USA

You can flash with E15i firmware and then flash X8a baseband that you can find in thread in my signature bellow
...maybe there is a way to update with pc companion like he is in Europe...
And I read about updating from other country on development section.
Easy way it's changing the SI number so it solves it like a workaround, still i'm not sure if it provides his language (i think it does) after that he can even install froyo or ginger eh
There are lot's of tutorials with infos to do it right in dev section, check them out.
well... actually i have the flash tool and i found this firmware "X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf" but my xperia has the e15a version if flash it with this firmware what would happen?
you should get android 2.1.... and to your root issues you should set usb on debugging mode and you mustn´t mount sd card just set charge phone instead.
so no matter if mi xperia is e15a and the firmware i would use in the flash tool is e15i
i have a galaxy s which i flashed to remove t-moble branding, now not sure why but i can't get wifi working so want to go back to stock firmware. the problem is which is the correct version for me.
my phone is galaxy s gt-i9000 and was originally locked to to t-mobile UK. i'm looking on the stock firmware and odin guide but i haven't got a clue which one is suitable. i've also got a message in kies saying that 'your device does not support software upgrading via kies'.
please can someone advise me how to get the phone working correctly again? don't care if i have to go back to t-mobile branding as look as it works with wifi.
Hi Rincal...
first question.. did you have your galaxys unlocked to make it sim free by a shop or market seller.. if you havent.. this will cause problems, so make sure you get that done.. its about £15.
2nd) The latest stock firmware is 2.3.6.. the xda team have Eu stock ROM threads.. look in "development", but if you cant find it.. use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431596 - although i think there will be a newer version out now.. in the PIT folder, use PIT-512.
Here is a full abc flash guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050
Follow it to the letter, this is how I learned.. even though Ive had no problems, you flash your sgs rom at your own risk.. make sure you read it through first before you flash anything and always backup your data 1st.
Please note: This is not my work.. please thank and respect the xda teams named in the threads.
If anyone reading this thread can give better guides or links, please point the way
Good luck

hi NightOrchid
i used a market app called galaxy s unlock to unlock it myself. it was working find after that, the problems started after rooting and flashing.
i'll try your suggestions and let you know the outcome. i've already tried flashing with a few firmwares but always have the wifi problems. should say that apart from wifi and kies the rest of the phone seems to work ok with other firmwares.
