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
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.

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 .

Hello,
This topic was made to help out new users or users that are unfamiliar with rooting the new Firmware.
There have being many questions,so i decided to put it all in one here because i KNOW how people dont like searching XDA.
I dont take any credit,i just got a bunch of links and posts,put em all in one place for new users that dont like searching / exploring AND because the forums are very messy
Step 1: Get the FlashTool 2.9.1
http://www.multiupload.com/7H4JT35B6G
Step 2: Get any 2.3.4 or future FW FTF file you can find
I used this one,as it is the only one availbile since 24/09/11 ! In a couple of days/weeks people are going to post UK/US ones
here it is :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269845
Here is the New one ; UK one
Step 3:
Read Dousans simple post on how to get the flashtool to work,im feeling lazzy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17804320&postcount=2
FAQ:
After flashing you WILL lose ROOT!
There is a small tick box saying not to wipe data in flashtool , you can tick it
Factory data reset will not terminate bootloader or root
Root or Bootloader unlocked is not required.Think of it as a PCCompanion,only this time you choose which fw you want to select.
Depending on the firmware, gsm/cdma may not work properly, please wait for a global ftf or stick without placing calls or use data for web.
Ex. R800i with verizon ftf may not work at all and you can't place calls or use data.
Step 4: To retain root you need to go visit this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130639
NOTE: I bet u were doing good so far,getting to 2.3.4 and such,however,here comes the tough part for learning users.Please,read step4 very carefully,and check if your phone is SIMLOCKED or SIMUNLOCKED.Why read carefully?there are links which you honestly dont need if you know about your phone well (for ex.u know if its not Simlocked,R8OOI and such)
BOOTLOADER IS REQUIRED!
IF YOUR PHONE IS SIM-LOCKED or R8OOX go here to request an unlock : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254416
Remember to put the zip first on your SD card and then use fastboot to boot up CWM,you will then gain root access by flashing zip from CWM (Tested and working for me )
If your bootloader is not unlocked,visit this thread (if your phone is simunlocked and any other models that are not R8oox) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043630
OR this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRH3pC7MhEA

As of now there shouldnt be much questions on this FW
Thanks to:Everyone who i linked to their posts Remember,they take the ctedit! not me! i just put it all in 1 thread for newbies!
WANT TO ROOT WITHOUT UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER?
Edit :while totally ignorant of this post, another way to root is to downgrade to 2.3.2, install gingerbreak and do a software update from your phone. Remember never to delete any system apps as it will not update ever. Your bootloader must be locked aswell, if you wish to relock the boot loader go here
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134334
FOR you to upgarde software without FT or BL .imgs,you need to wait for it to be released on your carrier,which may take months or weeks.Dont do it by PCCompanion btw
Thanks, how can I keep all of my data? can I use a Nandroid of 2.3.3?
No need for a nandroid backup.
There's a simple way. When selecting the file for flashing in Flashtool, uncheck the Wipe user data button and all your data (apps, messages, contacts) will be retained.
Bringing up my post, if you make a forced flash with R800x you MAY have some side effects like market not downloading or making no calls
This is, of course untested, so I'm not sure.

Great post thank you.
It's not necessarily that people dont like searching, its that the information is fragmented all over the place in these forums.
A central guide was desperately needed.
This should be stickied.
Good point, I'll edit
If you want to sticky hunt down a mod a tell him to sticky. I will need more votes though as one request is not enough
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
by "performance increase" you mean?
does PSXperia still works?
I think we need this as a sticky aswell, it would be nice to get rid of some of all those root posts
One thing you might ad in your edit about downgrading/gingerbreak/upgrade to retain root on new builds, is that this method will only work if you have a LOCKED bootloader or else you'll brick your phone. Bin4ry has posted a solution for that, but afaik people still has some problems after using this and some don't and it only works if you haven't tried anything else before that to rescue/restore your phone. Maybe a link to blagus tutorial on how to lock your bootloader would fit in nicely aswell

Very limbo, it worked for me ONCE, but I went back to 2.3.3, and then back to 2.3.4. And then it stopped working. It's stuck on updating
I believe it can still work.. But no one apart from me ever said it worked once
Performance increase = faster and smoother

Just a reminder,DOomkernel is not yet supported for 2.3.4
If you want to know Anyhow, the fastboot files you had from unlocking bootloader,put the future doomkernel4 in there and if your using Vista/Win7/win8
Shift+Rightclick
and type this in:
fastboot flash boot X.img
X = the name of the doomkernel4 once it comes out
======
For Bravia Mod,put the ZIP in your SD
Go and use the Clockwork mod recovery you used to get Root,and instead of finding the rootxperia.zip ,find the bravida mod.zip
if you still dont understand how to the get the bravia mod working,replace the Rootzip with bravia mod in Step4

Ok guys im making this thread to see who would like to see official CWM Rom manager support, not because I have the ability to do such a thing, it requires our rom and kernel devs.
You need unlocked bootloaderand also doomlords boot manager (to get cwm recovery). Also you need to download rom manager from the market. When choosing the recovery to flash you need to choose htc desire hd.
I was playing with cwm rom manager just now and backed up my rom (wb v6) in one click, phone rebooted and entered recovery and backed up then rebooted upon completion automatically. You can also download roms and google app packages ota from their server from the app. There's even a couple of premium features if you buy the full version.
I want to see some x10 roms up there from our amazing devs and to be able to make the most of this amazing tool.
Im making this thread for people to post their opinions to get devs attention not to give step by step instruction on to use any tools to get your phone bootloader unlocked or flashing boot manager.
Opinions only please.

ROM Manager will never support X10 in flashing recovery from the app. The reason is we can not flash kernels from the os/phone right now. You can select manual override and select a device.
But if remember correctly there was already a thread on this though.

Yeah I've used it on my other phones..
As far as ota updates with no radio or kernel upgrade, that would work.
Like I said it would be limited though.
I don't know why x10 can't flash kernels, etc. since the unlocked bootloader. I think that would just require further development and a lot of devs have left

I think maybe we need zdzihu to come back to flash ftf and stuff. I think our bootloader is cracked but the flood gates aren't fully open if we can't write to where ever the radio stuff goes.
I guess we can only hope. Would love to be able to use all this stuff to its full potential and do away with the flashtool which is good but not very convenient if your on the go.

Fastboot refers to procedure consisting of
phone part and user part (run on PC) which suits
to update the system over USB (ROM , SPL,
splash screen), mainly it 's used to flash recovery
or custom splashscreen. As long as you follow
the procedure, it 's safe to use it. You don' t
need to install it, it can be used on every
Android system (client part comes with Win SDK
and can be downloaded for Linux also).
With most phones you don't have to flash things this way though, you can boot into the bootloader and flash files manually from your sdcard, our into recovery for roms, etc...

I think i read that SE disabled fastboot on x10, im sure i read by azuzu it was disabled. The 2011 xperia range got life easy with sony willing do offer a service for this. why did they make the x10 such a problem child?
I guess though its fair to say they appear to be learning their lesson by offering bootloader unlock for 2011+ range, supporting devs, giving phones away, having proper multitouch, 16m colours and looking at bring out dual core phones.
Its too late for some as people moved on now but if you asked people if they reckoned SE would do all this in a couple of years tehy would turn round and say yeah right! IM glad i stuck it out and its been totally worth it to have my x10 how it is now and love it.

Its too late for some as people moved on now but if you asked people if they reckoned SE would do all this in a couple of years tehy would turn round and say yeah right! IM glad i stuck it out and its been totally worth it to have my x10 how it is now and love it.
Im going off topic big style in my own thread lol

My previous and first smartphone was the X10 mini pro. After reading about rooting I did it with Superoneclick and it was easy. I also managed to unroot by using SE update service. My question is how can I easily root my Arc S? I dont want to use other roms, just use apps that need it. I dont really understand what flashing is. Also dont want to potentially brick my phone using methods that are hard.
If you would use the search option, there's so many threads already, some of them are even stickies.
Look around a little, you have come to the right place, but no one is going to paste you links here. If you still can't find it after an hour of searching, ask again.

Model : LT18i
Android : 4.04
Baseband : 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-77
Kernel : 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
Build : 4.1.B.0.587
Everything is up to date. I have tried searching but have hit brickwalls
To get root on your current set up you will need to use flashtools, go to the development section out the arc forum and download v8 think v9 is a bit buggy.
Next go the general stickies and look in the post by overlo4d on how to root.
you will need too downgrade the kernel so download the kernel you need, then root using doomlords exploit,then upgrade the kernel again found in overlo4d thread.
It is very easy tho sounds complicated.
Everything is explained in the main rooting thread by overlo4d.

This one just appeared.
Rooting isn't possible without flashing, but you don't need to unlock your bootloader for that. Just read everything trough, and download all the nessecery files.
