Hi, i am from Turkey and unfortunately theres no market app in our phones. Yea, dont know why but it is pure stupidness and shame.
I read a lot here and realized that i need to root my phone first, thats ok i can do it with my mac.
But my question is can i flash official rom with my mac? i understood that i should download an official rom from shipped-roms .com/shipped/Buzz/ but since they are .exe i dont know how can i flash...
Ps. Yes, i want to flash a UK rom to get market app (i am hoping it is OK for me)
Use bootcamp or borrow a pc from a friend

Thank you very much for your answer, i will not install any MS softwares into my mac and i think theres no way to do this in mac.
I think the best option is go to an inet cafe and do the job there. But i have a question; if i flash UK rom into my Turkish carrier phone (vodafone), do you think there will be any problem?
Also, if i do that, whats going to happen after upgrade to froyo from HTC, my phone will be unrooted?

Not sure - I am not responsible if you break your phone or mac though!
to install windows, buy a copy of xp/vista/7 and see http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6.pdf

Hi all, before writing this i spent hours reading through the forums for answers and found this to be on hell of a forum, nice work!
This probably should have gone to the x10 debranding thread so if any mods are here and think that that is a better place for it, please, transfer it.
Anyhu, here's the sit...
So i'm from Croatia, Europe and i got my prototype x10 from Poland. It was really cheap so i didn't complain but i just recently found out that i'm running R1DA007 which probably none of you have. I've had the phone for about 2 months i think and it's been one hell of an adjustment from my old w810i...
The problem is, when i run SEUS it says that there are no updates available. The phone is unlocked and my carrier is Tele2 but i don't think that has anything to do with my problem.
I really have no idea what would happen if i tried to debrand this phone and get the 016 update that way. I'm guessing none of you know the answer as well but some of the experienced users might have an idea of what i'm getting myself into.
The thing is, i don't have any insurance for the phone nor do i have the money to buy a new one so i won't do anything which isn't at least 99% sure to work. There are no guarantees in life so i'm not asking for 100%.
With that update, i'm hoping to get a better software solution for my camera which is excellent in macro shots but sucks big time in landscape shot and such, take a look: img707.imageshack.us/img707/8921/dsc0064nv.jpg
Also, the keyboard just sucks. Hitting "a" or "l" is almost impossible from the first attempt so i tried installing this: xperiax10.net/2010/04/07/installing-the-htc-keyboard-on-the-xperia-x10 - but with little luck. I can now see the HTC_IME mod under locale & text and i click on the check box but still, the original android keyboard remains.
Also the white keyboard was "automatically" replaced by a grey /black one which i liked a lot more that the original white one but then it "automatically" disappeared after i restarted the phone. I couldn't find an option to change the current white one, how do i do that?
I need your help guys, any ideas/comments are welcome. Thanks in advanced.
You can't update your X10 until a flasher for it comes out.
at first i would choose the "repair" option in SEUS.
SEUS will then download your current firmware from the server.
you will need it if you want to try the debrand-option and also when something goes wrong.
PS: does your pre-version still have the front-cam in ?
It won't work. SEUS sends a query to the server with TAC and CDA. If one of them is not found then it doesn't update.
I've a proto and I cant update or repair

sorry for my ignorance, flasher for the prototypes or for the regular x10 devicer or it doesn't matter
is a flasher something that has to do with the device being rooted first? so i have to wait for the root and than wait for an application (i presume?) that can
flash my rom?

can you access the bootloaders or do you still get the permission error?
Yes, you need an application that can flash X10. From what I heard SETool team should have X10 flashing and unlocking soon.
interesting, so i flash it with just the updates or i have to have the whole package?

Guessing your going to have to do a full flash, but why not when cooked ROMs are about.
Can you see if you can extract the boot.img from your device?
sure, just tell me how do i do that and i'll try
i asked about doing the full flash because then i'll loose all my programs, data etc...i don't loose those when just updating, right?
No point.
1. You can't flash it back
2. I have already given it to Balsat who wanted to test it out
sorry i didn't get this
are you saying that there's no point in doing a full flash or?
edit: i get it now

are you sure that there are no repair-FW's for the proto on the server ? SEUS seems to know the phone ..
ok, thanks
the SEUS app doesn't let me choose anything, when i connect it, that is the only thig that it says, no repair/install options
you need to use the EMMA tool from sony ericsson to update prototypes, you also need to have a working user and pass for it
hm, i don't have it but i might be able to get one
i'll ask the guy who gave me the phone
ps. would that mean that i could update it to 016 or up to as far as prototypes were tested?
You need Emma OA or R&D access.
could you calrify just a little bit please? btw. thank you all, you've been most helpful
it means (if you have access to it) that you could upgrade to any X10 firmware released
well i didnt root my phone but im actually thinking about it so i want to ask you guys a few questions..
1) my android isnt english (its turkish) so if i root my phone and after few months later i change my mind and i want the default one back. can i have it with all the same exact functions/menus/dictionaries in my language back? i mean my recovered files will be copied just the same way? like i never rooted?
2) if 1 is yes, then can i get those dictionaries to my new rooted one? just for sms typing.. menus and things arent so important tho..
Thanks..
It is possible to unroot your phone. Although in the process all data on your phone will be lost!
You have to backup. When unrooting, use MyBackup, because it's sadly the only way to restore data without root.

I don't understand what you mean.. If you root it, and you keep the original firmware, you can get the files from the internal memory (ex. with rootexplorer). But I don't know why you need dictionaries..
Just to clear things out since there is two conflicting answers, francians is right about the unrooting process. The official turkish RUU will unroot your phone given that it contains the bootloader. Flashing back the original RUU will also set your phone back to how it was when you bought it, that is, with all the functions/menus/dictionaries.

dictionaries.. not like english-turkish dictionary.. im not talking about applications here.. what i want to say is, the dictionaries for auto completion when im typing.. or corrections..
for example;
when i write pwncil it corrects me to pencil..
or when i type penc and i press space bar it writes "pencil" (but in turkish of course )

Hi everyone,
I Want to roll back to the stock firmware... So a friend a mine is coming this evening, and he hasnt flashed his phone. So my question is, how can I flash his firmware on my phone?
TIA
hiraj
there is no need to... just download stock firmware from samsungfirmwareworld.com and flash with odin or try this...it worked for me..
1. connect ur fone with kies...
2. open regedit.
3.[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\X]
"SoftwareRevision"="I9000DDJF3/I9000ODDJF3/I9000DDJF3/I9000DDJF3"
"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKAINU"
"HIDSWVER"="I9000DDJF3/I9000ODDJF3/I9000DDJF3/I9000DDJF3"
"DEVCONINFO"=""
X = Device Number
4. then when you go back to kies and update firmware.. u will c upgrade option turned on.. just press it and u r back on original...
I know i did that before but I want to roll back to the real stock Ifi sell my phone my customer won't be satisfied since it s kinda unofficial
Does any one know how I can save the rom?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Ok I tried what you d said but unfortunately it didnt work, (i think because i have a european i9000)
Does anyone have a suggestion how I can get back to the original Dutch stock rom with the telegraaf app and fileindex app?

You may want to look into using ROM manager on your friends phone to make a backup and then do a restore on your phone using the same program. Mind you: I don't know the implications considering serial numbers, product numbers and IMEI of using this route. Maybe someone else can chime in on that and be of help.
Good luck (and who reads De Telegraaf anyway )

First of all thanks for your tip! I hope someone else can add some more info about the implications.
And I dont read the telegraaf XD but I want to roll back to my original rom, my gps sucks right now, and with the original dutch firmware it worked great :S
I still think there must be a way to get the original dutch firmware through KIES with the right changes in Regedit can someone confirm this???

Go into bootloader mode (power+voldown and plug in the usb) wait till the driver is installed and then execute the downloaded file in the first post.

Yes , it should be on the phone .
only pre production/Demo phones can have a older/other version of this rom
but still this is interesting when there is a Hspl we can flash TMOUS on a O2 branded phone or stock HTC on a TMOUS
and yes I think that I know way you asked it , there are people that use this ruu to update there DEMO phone , the problem is that not all demo phones are stolen and xda isn't a police department.
but ofcourse it is better for people to return there DEMO phone and get a new one .

actually, I was asking because I am trying to figure out why people are all trying to flash their brand new phones that have a brand new OS on them...
I really don't care where people got their phones.
and just for reference I have the same radio but a higher firmware apparently: 1.20.015.31
Well for me I flashed it because it was freezing like crazy on me and maybe it was a bad flash that was causing it but it wasn't.

FILES CORRUPTED
All of the files for your start screen have been corrupted. the only way to fix this is to reset your phone to factory settings.
etc etc etc.
when I reset the phone to factory settings, got the same result "Files Corrupted"

hi every one,
is this a stock rom from T-Mobile?
will it affect to upgrade WP 7.7392?
Hi there chaps! I´m a NewB in the Android world an just acquired a Xperia play (r800a)
I´m from Mexico and yes there is no 2.3.3 update so far AFAIK, I have been reading about the different methods to get a successful update, so far I have tried PC Companion and SEUS with no luck (both state I have the latest software) then I bumped with Willlis111 thread (good job man BTW) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119074
So far I understand that (correct me if I´m wrong) I have to use Flashtool software with the UK generic FTF to override my current version of 2.3.2 so I can update OTA to a 2.3.3
For me, unlocking the bootloader is out of the question do to guarantee so I will like to try this method.
I have a bunch of questions cuz is something I have never done before (a little exitment in my life LOL)
I say better to ask the questions before than after....
1-I assume this will work with my r800a?
2-I´m assuming my bootloader is locked since the Track ID works?
3-What happens if I skip Step2 (gingerbreak)? Escapes to me the real benefits of the rooting procedure
And finally.....
4- Could this process brick my Play beyond resurrection?
Thanks to all and sorry for the long post....hopefully I´ll get some experience with droids and start building some apps soon
Rob.
Any input appreciated....
1) It is confirmed to be working on R800a.
2) If you haven't unlocked it, it's locked. No phone comes with bl's unlocked by default.
3) If you don't want to root your device, you can skip the Gingerbreak step. Here you have some insight on root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076720
4) AFAIK noone has reported issues with that particular way of updating. However, BE CAUTIOUS.

yeah! I used Flashtool and used the generic UK FTF with success! Configured the MMS and the Internet Aps´s and all seems to work
One thing I noiced is that now my SP seems to be a r800i instead of a r800a as it used to be....any ideas why? Any drawbacks on this?

I guess you are right mate, thou I thought that spec was more of a hardware thing...seem that is software related then
Now I´m on the verge...to root or not to root that is the question. I´m tempted to update to 2.3.3 and skip gingerbreak for the time. Somebody convince me other wise please LOL!
I´m sure that when I decide to root my Play there will be and upgrade of some sort with gingerbreak that will let me do it over the 2.3.3

Rooting wont damage your phone it just makes you an admin on your phone same as you would get on a pc (you can do things you normally cannot). Its totally upto you. I use AdFree which removes adds when browsing the net on phone plus the adverts in free games are removed, it requires root to use this program.
If you root see safe apps to remove thread. I uninstalled most of the things listed and there are no problems at all .
Also about bricking your phone in your first post. Rooting wont brick your phone but you might mess it up if you uninstall stuff thats not on that list so just keep to the list and it ok. Plus since you have a locked bootloader even if you do brick your phone you can fully repair it using SEUS.
