How to install Android 2.2 Froyo on Xperia X10????? I am currently running android 2.1 with build number 2.1.A.0.435
I am on AT&T.
Hey man wats up. You have to install xrecovery and root your phone. But if you need a video tutorial go to youtube and subscribe to bluechip. He has a ton of videos on this

Can you give me the link???
I just wanted to flash to android 2.2. I dont want to root it. is it possible?
no.
u'll need root to install xRecovery,
then from the "X10 Android Development", choose a suitable rom for yourself and follow the instructions made by the developer
(Normally roms are installed using xRecovery)

No, there is no official 2.2 ROM for the X10 and there never will be.
So, to install 2.2 you'll need a custom ROM, cooked by the extremely clever and dedicated folk here at XDA. To get a 2.2 ROM on your phone, you need to install xRecovery. To install xRecovery you need to root your phone. If you want to backup your Apps (highly recommended), you need Titanium Backup, which requires root access. All the 2.2 ROMs available include root access.
If you're worried about rooting your phone, you probably need to stick to a stock SE 2.1 ROM.
There's no risk in rooting, you can always unroot without/and/or revert(ing) to your stock. but I'm guessing since you're running the 2.1 (current build) in america, you're not worried about stock. Don't fear the root!
Also, flashing roms with xreovery (also need busybox) is painless, fun and addictive; plus you can make complete backups of your current state, just incase you f-it up

I use CM 6.1.3 v 4.2 and it's the best of all Froyos on x10. But I want my Camera. it dose not work fully.
As long as bootloader is not open, Froyo is just a ROM on to pof 2.1.... so no 100% Froyo
Mugur
http://mugur-ionescu.ro/tag/xperia
but even not being "true" froyo, those custom ROMs still run better than 2.1 and you can use all froyo features like app 2 sd and adobe flash, it's worth a try and even fun to check different builds and see what each dev added.
So far i've tryed rendeiro's and wolfbreak's cyanogen 6.1.3 ROMs, i prefer the later because i like to tweak the UI myself, but both run great.

try Vignette, but the "deprecated version" and not the "new version". it's the best i've tested so far, only one that works at 8 megapixel.

i'm not really a noob but noob to the Legend, i used to have Xperia X10 and HTC HD2 and it was easy to root and installing ROMs
now i have this Legendary Legend and i want to root it and install different ROMs i'm currently running 2.2, radio-7.13.35.05, and on the boot it says
LEGEND PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.01.0000
MICROP-0816
TOUCH PANEL-SYN07_0105
i've been reading the stickies foe awhile but i didnt know what is the difference between S-ON and OFF and if 2.2 is rootable or i have to downgrade to 2.1 and if i have to root this HBOOT thing!! actually i'm lost!! one last thing what is the best ROM for Legend? is there 2.3 or CM7 out for it?
P.S. excuse my poor english
why did you post 2 same thread???
maybe it's a forum lagg, and it was like "double posting"
It looks like you're in the same situation I was! Here's how I rooted, in laymans terms.
1. Turned my SD card into a goldcard.
2. Flashed a pre-rooted 2.1 ROM using the stock recovery method.
3. Downloaded CM6.1, placed it on my memory card.
4. Did a little messing around with ROM Manager, ended up doing the stuff I explained in this thread instead which worked just fine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962357
5. Flashed CM6.1 (which was buggy as hell).
6. Downloaded blay0's ROM, placed it on my memory card.
7. Repeated step 4 and flashed blay0's ROM.
Please note that blay0's ROM is 2.2 and not 2.3.
In regards to ROMs, personally I love blay0's b 0.7 ROM, it runs like a dream. It's not too far away from the Sense UI and it isn't buggy as hell for me like CM6.1 is... Haven't tried CM7 yet so I can't say, but TheGrammarFreak (a respected regular here) shows praise for it.
Im in CM7 and is a super ROM

Is it true that CM7 doesn't have Flash? That's a pretty big dealbreaker for me.

Yes, but the good news is that none of the rom (legit or custom) has it as well.

What about the Lite version of Flash which HTC ship with the Legend? If that's still present I might just switch to CM7.

It isn't.
CM can't legally include it because they don't have a licence to redistribute it, don't want to since they don't have access to the source, and even if they could and wanted to, it probably requires the sense framework, so technically it would still be somewhere between "impossible" and "damn inconvenient".
If you use Rom Manager it can install CM7 its pretty good for me my last rom was b0.5 which was great but im loving CM7 way more
If you really want 2.3 use CM7 - it's still beta but it's very stable and does everything I ask it to do, if you want a stock(ish) 2.2 then Blay0's ROM is sweet.
yep, I would also recommend cm7. and it's only partly true that it has no flash - I downloaded it from applanet and works perfectly fine with embedded youtube videos and ads (although I don't want the latter)
CM7 works great. Why do you need flash lite? I haven't missed it once when I owned an iPhone and I haven't missed it in CM7, nor did I use it with the stock rom. Youtube works anyway and if you must, Skyfire plays most flash videos fine as well.

sure you can, just read threads that Devs post here, then you can choose one of them. first step you have to upgrade to 2.1, root, make sure you have the latest baseband and kernel version. all the step by step tutorial you can find it here. thats all i've done
EDIT : you have donut 2.2.1 version?
i guess i have 2.1 version,sorry i got confused
Donut is the 1.6 version. If you have 2.1 it's Eclair And yes, you can install whichever ROM you wish. The most stable and fully-working would be miniCM 2.2.1, but you might as well flash some of 2.3 ROMs available - check them out, you don't loose anything. Just be sure to have baseband ending with "015", otherwise some features won't work.
is there some tutorials for this,cuz i dont know anthing...

It lags in games ten times more than 2.1,not recommend use 2.1 until custom kernels will be succefull loaded to our phones then there will be 2.3.3 with everything working even wi-fi tethering.

you have expert (as-mario) advise here so better stick to 2.1 until dev successfully have fully working kernel.
I'm currently using rachts CM7RC4 but what's the different between rachts and jerqelas?
I'm looking for the fastest ROM and I would like to have a high quadrant score
I'm currently lying around 650-750 with CPU at 710 Mhz
So which one is the fastest android for our X8 using 2.3.3 or is 2.2 faster?
well my has 44,2 FPS in neocore,and that is damn alot.
i have my x10 on a 2.1 root and i want to know if there is a good working version of 2.2 that doesnt have any problems.
Thank you
If you want to ask a question do it in the right section...

First, this is in the wrong section. You should have posted in the questions&answers area.
Second, theres roms on 2.2 that are great. Look for roms made by wolfbreak, renderio2005, zdzhiu and trip. All have achieved excellent functioning roms.

Having taken the plunge for my first android phone namely the SE X10 on a standard rom and already rooted it, I'm just wondering if any of you would like to give me some tips on what to do next with this phone having being a wm 6.1 user for many years I'm at a bit of a loss with this one I've never used linux or any of the derivatives of that software which I'm lead to believe android is based, so pretty much clueless with this one kind regards Mcpaddy.
Sorry forgot to mention it has android 2.1 update 1 installed on it and its the X10I regards Mcpaddy.

Good places to start:

and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&pagename=SonyEricssonXperiaX10
Basically you need to decide whether you want to go with a totally custom ROM, or modify the SE 2.1 ROM.
If you go total custom there are some guides to do it as telmoabff linked above.
I chose to just mod the 2.1 SE ROM and there are many different options you can go with, also many guides which will help you out.
You can get some very good customization / performance out of the 2.1 SE ROM...however, to get the absolute best performance / totally custom you will have to go with one of the user developed ROMs.
(Since I am kind-of new to this as well someone please correct me if I am wrong.)
I would root, install xrecovery and then z's freex10 b4 froyo rom as its the simplest and most stable rom i have tried. Once you have it running good then make a backup and try out any of the roms that float your boat, you can always just restore back to z's rom if things go wrong. Very hard to break the x10 have put mine in bootloop bout 6 times trying out the cool stuff on here but always been able to fix it!
Just my opinion tho
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
FreeX10 is the base for which all of the X10 Froyo ROMs are built, if you want something that has more tweaks and features Wolfbreak's CyanogenMod 6.1.3 ROM is a good one with a lot of support and features. Id go custom if I were you mainly because of the fact that 2.1 doesnt support Flash or app2sd which are 2 features that really make android great.

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!
Or you can use freex10 and simply flash cyanogen settings via xrecovery
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
If you want to stick with stock you should sysctl and jit along with few build.prop mods. Just search the forums. I would recommend the Z's freex10 rom for speed and stability. Tripmiui rom for something different.

Hi, Okay so I have running Free X10 2.2.1 with baseband 2.1.54
I want to try a 2.3 ROM and I've been looking at the Free X10 2.3
however the requirements here:
Requirements:
1. Rooted 2.3.3 ROM
2. working xRecovery 0.3
3. Baseband 71+
I need to have a rooted 2.3.3 ROM before I installed the Free X10 2.3.3?
How do I upgrade my baseband?
Is there any efficient way to back up and restore your apps between flashing?
Yes. Just use flashtool to upgrade. Then root then install recovery. It if your on 2.2 just connect it to pc companion. And also u already posted a thread like this. Dont double post
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Okay sorry. Im just new at flashing and using custom ROMs. I just have a few questions to get started. My phone is rooted and I have already flashed from eclair to froyo free x10. I would have posted in that same previous post but it said thread closed.

I would not suggest to move to FreeX10 2.3.3 as it's development was stopped, it will not be improved and has many bugs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208145&page=17
But if you still want to try it, just make sure you flash the baseband after you installed the ROM with xRecovery.
try the new cm7 instead...

What are you talking about? many bugs? I was using it as my daily rom (Until Z's CM7 came out) & I didn't find one single bug, It's stable & fast
Can someone post a link for Z's CM7? I wanna try it out.
also, how I do upgrade my baseband before doing this upgrade. I'm currently on Z's Free X10 2.2.1
Also, i notice that my autocorrect and auto punctuate (double space to make a . )
The settings are turned on but are not taking effect

You dont need rooted 2.3 rom all you need to do is flash the rom take out battery open flashtool and flash baseband 71 or vice versa

I bet he thinks development stopped = bugs hell.
And the new CM7 is a lot more buggy than you think. Wifi not working, battery drainage(just me?), etc.
Just get FreeX10 2.3. You don't need to be on 2.3. Just flash the ROM via xRec, pull out the battery, put it in back and flash the new baseband and kernel.
But you said you like living at the bleeding edge, so you can give the new CM7ZMOD a try.

Okay awesome. I'll just give Free X10 2.3 a try (I'm really liking Free X10 2.2 so far).
Sorry to be such a noob, but can someone give me a quick run down on how to get/use Flashtool? Thanks.

Well actually I think CM7 is not that buggy either, Wifi will be fixed by Z soon I bet, hell it's already fixed by a member by replacing a file from another rom, as for your battery drainage, it's ok here, not as good as FreeX10 but ok, maybe do some battery calibration & stuff? also gps is on by default so turn it off
But overall I prefer FreeX10 2.3 too, CM7 is faster (it's the fastest gb I've tried) even the first time you boot up the rom, the speed & the way bootanimation loads is just amazing, But Freex10 is rock solid stable with great battery life & very fast too
His CM7 ZMOD is probably better than FreeX10 2.3.3.
As for WiFi in CM7, here's the fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16602945&postcount=265
Try wolfs ROM, alot better then cm7zmod
