Hi! I put jerplea custom kernel into CM 6.1.3 via xrecovery, when i reboot the system doesn't work! i try to enter in xrecovery but it doesn't work!! how can i repair my x10??
thx in advance
Dario
Hook up the phone to the pc to the sonu ericsson software called seus. Hit the repair option.
If that doesnt work, try flashtool which is a pc program too which is in the x10 android development section. There r howto guides in there if u dont know how to use it. Flash the firmware with the baseband u want for the compatible ROMS want to run on the phone.
After thay u have to reroot the phone. Sorry about this but u gotta start over.

I'm going to copy and paste this reply to everyone who messes up their phone with a custom kernel. We are going to get LOTS of these kind of threads soon...
There are already a lot of ppl complaining that they "broke" their phone and dont know the reason, because they are to "lazy" to read the OP for installing custum ROMS and kernals.
Agreed, reflash with SEUS, I had to do that twice, when I was noob.

ok fires you must be to back to the original software 2.1
step 1
download Sony Ericsson updater
after download set up in your pc
step 2
connect the usb cable in your pc
step 3
open the sony ericsson softwer update and choos x10 phone and next
step 4
now turn off your phone
step 5
connect you phone and Click on the button right
now turn on your phone
You will notice that the computer knows the phone a new way
After the piece
You will notice that the program moved to the next step and descends Software
This step will take approximately 10 minutes
I am sorry for bad English
i am not trying to be a smartass here, but ppl should really read OP more carefull. you cant go wrong if you backup everything in xrecovery before aplying new update or rom. i tried several of the new custom roms and they worked all. just stick to instructions and everything will be fine
hiiii all.... i am new to this forum.
i want to root my xperia x10 and try cyanogen or Miui.. but can any one plz help me giving some information on the following:
-- can we get updates from sony after rooting your phone..????
-- Does the sony block access to their updates when you have rooted the phone???
PLzzz,some one help me ...and give me an answr
Yes, your rooted phone will still be able to receive updates from Sony.
to my surprise, my pc companion can even detect my x10 and says that i've got the latest firmware lol :O)
You can still use SEUS and pc companion with a custom rom too, have had to reflash generic 2.1.1 a few times now lol

i have an r800i that i have sucessfully rooted and unlocked the bootloader but in doing so i have downgraded my firmware to 2.3.2 from 2.3.3 when i connect my phone to the computer my pc companion automatically picks up a software update . if i update my phone to 2.3.4 via pc coompanion will this affect my root at all and can it potentially brick my phone please help
There is a chance (a pretty big one) that it will brick your phone, but could be recovered.
To get to the new update, search Firmware 4.0.A world etc and download Flash tool 2.9.1. Look around in XDA development for play section
Drag the firmware (4. 0). To firmware folder in the flashtool. Go to drivers and install ggaetup22. Click ok (files from google drivers required, you should've kept the files you had from unlocking bootloader.
OK once that's done click on X10 flashtool, click flash, highlight all . sins from the firmware, then do what the flashtool says.
You will not lose your root.

thanks for the help my man glad somebody could be a help also do you know of any tested and working kernels and cooked roms that can be installed on the phone without losing any of the functionalitys
If you successfully unlocked your bootloader then it is a better to just flash the newest modded rom with root included already. Do Not update when your bootloader is unlocked...

hi
is there any way to root xperia plat 2.3.3 A.....386 without unlocking boot loader
or , i have to unlock it , cause gigngerbreak 1.2 is not working on xperia play.
or can i unlock ==> root ==> relock and , have lock and rooted xperia play ?if i do that , maybe hurt the bootloader ? (( damaged bootloader )) ?
i think that is global question and appreciated for anyone that answer it
if you dont want to unlock the bootloader, you will have to downgrade to 3....145 (i think it ends in 145) and straight after first boot, before doing anything else, run gingerbreak, and then you can upgrade via OTA. if .368 is available for ota, that is. personally, i'd unlock bootloader and either install doomlords kernel or run the fastboot CWR module. main difference being (just an assumption), if you just run the cwr method, you can then relock the bootloader after updating
here's the fastboot recovery. if you use it, please remember that you must NOT flash this one. it is purely a run once method. and you can then keep the stock kernel:

thank you so much for your help .
i've did this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098131 before and worked prefect , but i hear that SE want to deploy a new update , i flashed and relocked my phone again tu access SEUS.
but my question is , if i unlock and root my phone , then relock it via fast boot , after relocking root will remove/disapear or still working ??
if still working , so that is best way to have root xperia play and use sontericsson update service.
i apppreciated again if somebody update me on this case .
thanks
i believe you will still have root access after re-locking the bootloader. but whether you will still have root after updating via seus, i honestly dont know. but to be fair, the speed the guys on this forum work at, you will probably have access to a flashtool compatible update before you know it's even out
hang on, you got an R800x?
The only way to preserve root when updating is OTA.

yes , that is OTA ,
but after relock can i keep the root option ? and update via SEUS ?

fantastic man
the r800x is a tad different in methods, and i'll be a little more cautious on my advice for you. but i can confirm that root remains after OTA update, as i had to use this method a few weeks ago, before i had my fastboot activated. but remember, bootloader must be re-locked before any official update methods (sorry if i keep repeating this, i just get paranoid in a protective way)
and regarding the blog you linked. they said last year that the x10 will not be officially updated above 2.1. a few months later, after the play, arc and neo came out, they changed their mind. twice. not only did they say that they were gonna give us (i was a x10 owner up until last month) gingerbread with just stock android apps, they then ended up releasing 2.3 with optimised sony ericsson versions of some apps, like the camera so dont believe things too early

I think you should ask these questions in the r800x dev thread as there would be a bigger chance for some clear yes or no answers. I haven't read that thread and as @solitarymonkey says the r800x rooting and unlocking is a tad different to the r800i, so can't really advice in that direction on wether you'll stay rooted and if you can just relock and update through SEUS as on the r800i. Just take a look in the dev section and you'll find the thread about r800x
Regards Dousan...
just be careful with your root if you use seus. if you can do ota, please do so, as root retention is tried and tested (on the r800i, and i'm guessing the r800a, too)
ok , thanks my friends
my phone is R800 i , i've rooted that 2 weeks ago and turnd it back to SE stock just for next update .
thank you again
Is it possible to use GingerBreak on the 3.0 ROM, then use SE PC Companion to update to the 4.0 ROM and keep root? My carrier doesn't do OTA updates so I can't use it.
I've heard that it breaks root when done over seus. But I haven't tried it out myself to verify. The worst you can do is try, lose root, and reflash the previous fw with flashtool and get root back.

Is it possible to backup my own "old" firmware?
If you mean the whole system image. You will need the bootloader unlocked and use the clockwork recovery fastboot tool to create a nand backup. Or you can download one of many back up apps from the market that can create back ups of your apps and data.

Using SEUS or PC Companion is the same as flashing with flashtool. You'll get a fresh and clean install of the firmware and everything get's eraesed in that process (nothing get's touched on the sdcard)

gingerbreak is not working on 2.3.3 ,
we should unlock the bootloader , ther root it , thern relock it and wait for new update via OTA/ pc companion / SE update service .
there is another way , i've read this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116090&page=3
but i think it's better to DON't downgrade the x-play , cause most of people on that post had problem .
i want to start new way : unlock== > root ==> relock (( i hope after relock my root remain ))
All your looking for is root?

I don't know a lot about this stuff but I flashed the arc s ics firmware on my arc and its quite laggy and would like to go back to gingerbread, so i went to pc companion then repair but its now recognizing my phone as the arc s and is unable to repair it can anyone help me.
Cheers
You cannot use PCC as it won't pick up your phone's identity properly now.
You will need to use Flashtools and flash back to GB 2.3.4. Once you do that, then you can then use the repair option in PCC and reload GB if needed.
