[Q] X10 strange problem roms problem - XPERIA X10 General

well first of all thanks for your help in advance.
I had a good x10 and decided to sell it and buy a new one because mine is already a bit scratched and other things the former was a X10A and now I have an X10 if that matters somehow.
good considering the x10 in hand I decided to update it first modific to 2.1 with good first non-tariff flashtool restarted. do it again and go for a while whether the network data set, each time an application instalava stuck and restarted.
after that does not solve the problem only 2g sailing. to make root was another problem with me probelam flastool was a play. remove the battery and leave it outside for a while. then again in the place lit if root root but the best was with superclickone.
then install the recovery well to try to install a different rom.
1.7 of laversion install it in my previous trip Experia worked perfectly.
and reboot several times but the biggest mistake was that he recognized me in any froyo memory told me that was not there I thought that was the only rom that fallava but try other froyo and I recon all the phone memory.
the formative and other things and not do anything.
I hope you can help me thanks.
well first of all thank you all for your time
baseband good use the 49 is the one used in the above and it worked well but you're right, maybe because it was for America proves with another 67 or more.
well that was installed with the Sony Ericsson flashtool X10i_2.1.1.A.0.6_CUST GENERIC-TH 1237-0336
root and then install other froyo over several people and doing the problem is restarted as long as I showed the worst memory.
rom froyo good at baseband always use 49 did not try other that could have caused this problem but I do not recognize the memory in the rom do not understand.
But the most curious .. I can restart the telefonoy xrecovery enter a bone having a rom froyo I recognize the memory but when it does not appear but entered the xrecovery if I have it and I can see all of it I install anything but get nothing.
Also if you want to install a backup does not work xrecovery entered the xrecovery give restore Begins choose the copy and paste to work then restarts and I lose everything because the phone does not come over and touch me again with the flashtool.
to light in the rom 2.1 if you recognize me in rom memory but I do not like froyo recognize the memory but still recognize it when I enter the xrecovery and I can see what is memory and install things that are in but when I restart it and entered into the system memory does not recognize me tells me no memory mounted.
thanks for everything

thanks to those who saw this. but I see that nobody has any idea what happens to my x10 was hoping that at xda have some idea but I do not know what happens.
thanks anyway.

Completely baffled

Hi,
I've just got this phone today, and have been reading through some posts gathering the mods I wanted for the phone (Xperia tweak, vista battery guage etc.).
Having realised that I needed to update my phone I tried using Sony's updater, which seems to be failing! So went on to investigate about downloading the rom and firmware update.
However, I am completely confused on A) how to install all of these mods I have downloaded
B) How to JUST update the firmware. I am worried if I update the ROM all my vodafone settings will dissappear, which means no internet etc. Is there anyway to just update the firmware without using sony's software?
Again, I am completely confused after reading countless threads in here. Just looking to be pointed in the right direction
many thanks,

When trying to update with SEUS it takes me about 2 or 3 tries to get it to run correctly and find the correct update.

Just connect your phone with your pc and copy cabs to your phone. Go with File Explorer or Total Commander to cabs and click, easy as cake..

Your vodafone settings will be installed through connection setup after updating/installing new ROM automatically (most of the time). So no need to worry about that.
You will loose contacts, sms, e-mail, etc, etc when flashing to a new ROM and there is nothing you can do. Except not to flash a new ROM at all. Only the stuff on your SD card will remain, phone memory is completely whiped when updated.
Just find a nice back-up program suiting your needs...
Thanks very much . Applications are installing nicely!
The update is still getting stuck in the identification bit, sometimes it doesn't even come up! Is it worthit to just update the phone manually? If so, do you just put the img on the phone, or sync it to the phone?
yeah you should think about using an custom rom...
they are faster, more beautiful and the whole X1 Xperience is better
but if u want to have warranty u have to flash back ur device to a stock rom
there are good tutorials about flashing an rom...
look at the stickys
Weird
Strangely I just connected my xperia to my Vista x64 Ultimate desktop without thinking and it updated perfect first time. I didn't do anything extra.

Before trying to update without using SEUS please read the sticky's in the Xperia ROM section of this forum, it is most definitely going to save you (and probably us here at the forum) a lot of frustration.

[Q] Potencial Hard Brick - Help

OK. I am just gonna start this with: I AM STUPID!
Anyway, I was toying with my X8, all happy of my Android. I was in xRecovery, happy to know that I was going to install FroyoBread v007 (irrelevant to know, really), and I saw "Partition Options". "WHAT'S THIS?!" I go into that and see that I could delete /system, so I felt like doing it. *Applies anti-flame* After that, I was like "Oh man, xRecovery is not detecting my FroyoBread v007 .zip, just the v006!!!" "Let's reboot it!" After that... well... brick.
Current Situation:
I turn on, all that appears is "Sony Ericsson".
If I try SEUS (On PC Companion) or FlashTool, they don't seem to recognize the phone.
xRecovery, obviously, not there, since it was in /system/bin
Question: Is there ANY WAY (excluding taking it back to the store) to get my phone back working? (Even if it involves going back to the stock Flash, like I care!!!!)
Note: I am sorry if there's a thread already containing information to solve this problem in this forum. I am a bit in PANIC! I would appreciate that people don't pro-flame me for deleting the /system directory or for not adequately search for a thread that has the information I might need. In case of the existence of such, please redirect me to it so I can obtain an important piece of information in the world we know as Modding. Thank you for your consideration.

First of all, it's normal that SEUS won't recognize your phone, cuz it has NO software, so just select your phone model, and even if it sais unknown phone, proceed to update, it will fully restore SE android 2.1 , it worked for me

I think I did not emphasize enough on the OP that I am STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPID!
I just figured it out. On SEUS I was doing something wrong. I was powering the phone on then holding back and then plugging the USB.
Yup. That's me. Probably gonna be around more.

I've fixed it long time ago.

Before installing official gingerbread

Flashing the official gingerbread in u8800 its irreversivel process, at least for now.
If you flash it you have to keep it as no way of going back.
If you root it using the only available method, bye bye!
Everytime you reboot the endless bootlooping starts and the only way to stop it is formatting data.
Which means everytime you reboot = bye bye all data and apps etc.
I think is something that its major importance and no one is mentioning this!!!!
I don't know, maybe I've been preaching to deaf ears or something...but...you can re-install the old ROM back, the CWM recovery won't work with the official GB - that much is true - but you will be able to downgrade to an official 2.2.2 (I used the B162) version with the regular update method (at least I was and everything is working just as normal as it used to).
So, irreversible - I don't think so
with the current CWM recovery - it's a no-go
edit: that being said, what works for me, doesn't necessarily work for everyone, so be careful and blame the guy in the mirror -not me, if it doesn't work for you. =)
I think Huawei says wrong here. I flashed 2.3 yesterday. After that, because of the haptic issue I flashed back to official 2.2. Only problem after the 2.2, recovery console had opened. I did factory reset there and phone started without a problem. Then, I had upgraded to 2.3 again. Still haptic don't vibrate. Other than, no problem here. Maybe, I will go back again to 2.2.
Well you are lucky then because you are the only one.
Perhaps what is saying in the official intructions that will be impossible to dowgread after this upgrade won't apply to you.
I have try it with at least 8/9 versions of official release and nothing works!!!!
what 2.2 version is that and you did it after or before rooting?
Have you tried with internal sd? I copied dload folder to internal and started the upgrade process from Storage-Upgrade Firmware. Where did your phone stuck?
Edit: I didn't root my phone. Waiting proper solution. I had used B138.
no, I'm using external SD.
now I'm downloading another official release to try to downgrade using another one...
this time is U8800 V100R001C17B162CUSTC17D001

Well, like I said, what works for me doesn't necessarily work for you.
Anyway, this is what I did and it worked, maybe it can help others.
0. Copy the original B162 ROM ("dload"-folder which has two files, UPDATE.APP AND UPDATE_CUST.APP) to the root of your SDCARD
1. Update to B162 by holding down +- keys while turning on the phone
2. After the first reboot, it's giving error messages for not being able to mount this and that...just ignore it and...
--> Wipe data / factory reset --> remove battery
3. Update the B162 again --> this time everything should go OK, if so, your phone is back to stock B162 and you're ready to use it or update a custom rom (just install Clockwork recovery like you used to and start from there)
The last point (3) may be unnecessary, but I did so just to make sure everything's ok.
Edit: OK, and I meant b162, not b160...

For me it also works. I have downgrade without any problem and I use to the b 162 version. Now Ian back to oxygen
Sent from my u8800 using XDA App
yes I made it with this B162.
**** this **** I'm going back to custom rom.
No point of using this official release if future customs will use the libs from this one.

And then there's the fact that the official gb is still beta, it's not supposed to work perfectly. But as long as the dev team here stays active, I think that I'm gonna stick with custom roms too.
ho my god.
didn't work.
is always booting into recovery
I am stuck here also (
Nothing worked
I tried clockwork recovery - it doesnt get to. It is just rebooting.
I tried with various dload UPDATE.IMG's (GB Overseas, GB orig chinese,B162,B138) nothing is working - stucked in "Step 1/2 Unpacking" window forever.
Anyone has solution for this ?
Two weeks ago I've flashed the U8800Pro version - real mistake

I have just flashed with new U8800V100R001C00B517G001(Beta1.0)(Overseas Normal)(Gingerbread) but after flashing I kept waiting for start my phone. I restasted many times but same, then I format data its worked and when restarted again it goes in same condition any help ?
until flash disk is writable and it is - there will always be way to go back to old versions it just files.. like reinstalling windows on your pc.
Since the new Rom is public I have read all posts about it here. Maybe I had lucky, or simple due it without messing with the files.
Yesterday I made the upgrade to the new rom, directly from the last Oxigen version, without downgrade to 2.2. I simply create the dload folder on SD card, put there de update file, boot with +- Power, and chose upgrade from SD card.
After step 2 I reboot the phone a install step 3 upgrade. Everything as installed fine, no boot loops, nothing...
Also the root method decribed in this forum as work on first time.
24 hours after the upgrade, and some reboots to test, I never se the boot loops, and the phone is working well.
The new ROM, even in beta stage, to me is a great improvement.
Well either you were lucky or me and the majority were unlucky.
But issues only start to happens when rooting.
So that you can see it fried me the 1 USB cable. This cable is only good to charge the battery now....
Also, ****ed the device USB storage MOUNT.
I connect it to the computer and the computer sees it as a CD drive not allowing any changes.
Also when press the button to mount the USB on the device it never gets mounted and gives the messages that the SD can now be removed.
So I have put this issue many times but up to the moment no one even reply to help.

first root...then softwareupdate? or otherwise ?

Hallo,
i have a Milestone 2
Im goin to root it but i also want to make a systemupdate.
in sysinfo it says firmwareversion 2.2.1.......and on motorolahomepage i can download android 2.3 (gingerbread)
so my idea is to patch the newest firmware und patch gingerbread on my device, then after that i want to root it.
but im a little bit unsure, because im new to android-phones (last phone was htc-kaiser with cooked rom)
so i better ask here and dont risk, that i get the newest OS on my device but make rooting it harder by that.
what is the best way to get my phone in a rooted status with updated software ?
should i update ? ...i like the feeling of new software, but also know, that new is not = better
can anyone help me plz...i canceled updateing my phone so far, till i know the right order to do
thx 4 help
ok, after i found a way to root my milestone2 with gingerbread on it i now upgrade to gingerbread and try this way of rooting
Milestone 2 is listed in the devices confirmed working.....
hope i do not wrong :/
anyway i like to hear some tipps
greetz
sry 4 so much noobquestions, but i have another problem now....
i tried to upgrade to gingerbread. but the motorola update software did not find my phone.
on the homepage it says i need a "micro usb data cable"
i have a normal "micro usb cable"... i there a diffrence ?
i know that their where different cables for phones (data, flash,etc) but i thought in times there mini/micro-usb-cables are standard there are not differences in cabletypes.
am i wrong ??
greetz
Be aware that you will have very few options to choose from on custom roms when you are on gingerbread. There are a lot more to choose from if you stay on froyo.
I have used different sorts of cables micro usb cables and they all work. Try using a different usb port and make sure the cables are inserted fully. If not try a different cable, the one you have may be defective.
Actually, now there's a method to go back to Froyo from official GB, if needed, look in the Android Development section.
"what is the best way to get my phone in a rooted status with updated software ?"
If you mean rooting on Froyo, z4root works (at least for me). If you mean rooting GB, superoneclick is the one. Just be sure to stay away from the official 2.3 from Vivo (Brazil) and Personal (Argentina), because these too can't be rooted right now + you can't downgrade.
should i update ? ...i like the feeling of new software, but also know, that new is not = better
Well, that's up to you... fSince I've tried my first custom ROM in my old Motorola Quench, I haven't used an official ROM for more than 2 days. At least try it, if you don't like you can always go back.
About the USB cable, any cable that fits the phone should work... Have you installed the Motorola USB Drivers? If not, download them from Motorola's website and try again. Also, I think I read here in the forum some time ago that some guys were having problems with RSD Lite (sorry, don't remember if it was the same as the one you got), but changing the version helped.
About the tips, the best one I can give you is: Read the forums, there's much information out there, any doubts you may have probably have been answered around here before, any problems you may run into, I'm sure someone here had them before and there's a solution.
thank you for helping me out..
the tel is now detected from the updatesoftware.
i installed net.framework 4 made a windows-update, restartet, connected the phone "moto phone portal" in backround and it worked.
Im goin to flash the orginal gingerbread 2.3 upgrade from the Motorola Homepage
it is the German (Vodafone) Version.
I know that they are more options to choose a cooked ROM then i stay on Froyo, but i think Gingerbread has few cool new features also. And my "problem" is, that i want to have a German ROM, so i have a better workflow on my cellphone......and because of that i anyway dont have real good options to choose a cooked rom.
EDIT: I see that some ROMS are tagged as "multilanguage". I hope that this means a full german translation in any casy (dictionary, etc). But afaik there will be also cooked ROMs on gingerbread.
Can anybody say me, if i can have any improvement by a firmwareupdate ?
it says:
Firmware-version: 2.2.1
Firmware-config: GAS_EMEA_USAMS1FRYOVFDE_P009
ps: now im a little bit conzerned, so i first root my froyo, then make a nandroidbackup, then i upgrade to gingerbread. (so i perhaps have better chances to go back)
bah ((
i tried to update to gingerbread, managed that my phone is regonized, but softwareupdate tells me "there is no update". MotorolaHP tells gingerbread is avaivable.
so now im going to flash a costom image.
anyone has a good suggestion for a good costum gingerbread that supports german ??
ok sry 4 going on everybodys nervs with so much noobquestions....but....
.. i decided to choose this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169038
i already rooted my phone with z4root.
now im going to flash the ROM from above, but the howto is a little bit complicated for my noob-brain.
there says quote:
"1. Put the Nandroid backup folder MS2Ginger on the SDCard in this folder: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup"
i dont have such a folder on my sd. should i just create it or is any programm missing ??
EDIT: OK just realized that i need to install clockworkmod but i really would be happy if someone can help me a little with that tutorial.
for example it says at point 13: (only if you have froyo kernel) i have kernel 2.6.32.9....so i can skip this point ?
EDITEDIT: installed rom manager, but cant install "clockworkmod recovery from program (in the list there is no milestone 2, only milestone), dont work
ill try it with Droid2 bootstrapper now...
i installed latest droid 2 bootstrapper. I first press "bootstep recovery"......sucsess.
now i press "reboot revovery" to rebbot an male a backup......
the device reboots, but not in recovery....just normal reboot
what am i doing wrong ??
can someone help me plz ?
EDIT: i installed 2ndInit Recovery ....no chance ((( nothing really happens. can someone plz help me ut itz really frustrating :!
ok,...i have no idea.
my problem is that bootstrap droid2 dont start to recovery mode.....no matter what i do, it just makes a normal restart, after i press "reboot to recovery"
i think where is a somethink wrong with my bootloader, perhaps because i installed ClockworkMod ROM Manager before and pressed "milestone" in the install...... a later realized, that droid2 is ment with my european "milestone 2"
something is terribly wrong, and i have to give up, because even a hard-reset could not solve my problem

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play PLEASE HELP

Hello all,
My friend just gave me his Verizon Sony Xperia Play to root, no big deal. Read you have to downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3... download flash tool. Try to flash r800.ftf firmware a few times.. never works. Then, I tried to boot it up and it just shows the Sony Ericsson logo then, white triangle with orange exclamation point. PLEASE help, I don't know what to do I think it is bricked.
-thanks
PLEASE!? Does someone know how to help? I am freaking out right now.
Don't know why flashtool wouldn't work. If I were you, id try repairing with Sony PC Companion.
Code:
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
Install it. Navigate: Support Zone > Phone Software Update > Repair phone
You would likely get more replies if this was posted this in Q&A section.
Also, try being more clear when asking a question. "firmware a few times.. never works." what does never works mean to someone reading this? it could mean any number of things. Why didn't it work, did you get some sort of an error message?

Well I ran the 2.3.3 .ftf file again for like the 13th time and this time it worked. It booted normally and is now running 2.3.3. Unfortunately it is extremely buggy and force closes apps a lot. So now is the time when I 'repair' It with the PC Companion I think. Thank you very much for your help! :highfive:

No problem. Glad to hear you got it working again
FYI. Depending on the firmware it restores to, you can use DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su method to root GB 2.3.4. It can't root the absolute latest version (I think .62) which already patched the exploit, but mine always repairs to 4.0.2.A.0.42 and that roots just fine.
