Install 2.2 Froyo on Xperia X10

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

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.

Install Darky's Extreme Edition 9.3 The Fast & Easy Way

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this site and guess it's my first time to start a thread. First of all I've been reading this site for so long and I have learned a lot. Thank you for this wonderful site for teaching me how to install different kernel and roms. Because of this I would like to bring back what I know to the community by letting you know how to install one of my favorite rom the fast and easy way. Thank you Darky for your wonderful rom all credits goes to you.
Please note that this is the easiest way if you don't want to do a lot of hacking in your pc like installing any software like odin just to install Darky's rom.
*** I do not make any guarantee of this type of procedure but I have tried it using 3 different galaxy s as me and my friends has successfully done this procedure, follow at your own risk, this is tested only on Firmware 2.2 Baseband I900XXJPY ***
Let's make this short and here is how you do it.
*** Daryk's rom installation for dummies unorthodox ***
Note: I love the dummies books so don't get offended with this. Just like to name it like this because the book offers fast easy way to learn things.
Step 1: Download z4root, install and root your phone. Click Here
Step 2: Download speedmod one click install in android market and install.
Step 3: Download Darky's Rom configurator in android market and install.
Step 4: Open Darky's Rom Configurator and leave everything default except kernel option just pick speedmod, you can configure anything you want at your own risk.
Step 5: Download Darky's Rom Zip File Click Here look for Normal CWM Version. Transfer it to your internal memory do not extract just transfer the zip.
Step 6. Shutdown your galaxy s.
Step 7: Go to your clockworld menu by clicking the up volume key + on button + home button all at the same time, once you see the Galaxy S screen let go of the buttons.
Step 8: In the menu scroll down to install from zip from sdcard and press your home screen to select.
Step 9: In the menu scroll down to choose zip from sdcard. Then locate where you put your Dary's Rom. Then select it by pressing your home button. This should install Dary's Rom.
Step 10: Once done select the go back menu and then reboot menu on your clockworld screen. Wait a while it takes time to go to your home screen after the first reboot as it's doing some configurations it may take 5 to 7 minutes.
and thats it you should have the darky's rom v 9.3 installed. If there is anything you want to modify in this guide let me know and I will gladly do it for you.
Credits goes out to Darky, My Friends Gimo for helping and for some good inputs, I'm pretty sure that he lurks around here and helps at times and Wilfredo for letting us use his phone as a sacrifice lamb hehehe.

You could be right that's why I have a disclaimer. I will try to update this as necessary if you have another alternative and you are sure that it works as easy kindly let me know and we will update this thanks.

I appreciate your effort but for sure you need to make it complete or to mention on which devices it worked without any problems...
Just check 1st post from Darky thread and there you will see somewhere the wording:
>> [Guide] Installation Guide for First Time Users
which links to Darky's installation notes at http://darky.ficeto.com/community/i...-installation-guide-for-first-time-users.315/
Maybe you can work on that one explaining in more detail each step for newbies (btw. "noobs" isn't the same as "newbies" and it shouldn't be used only when you are mocking someone)
Good luck,
B.

c4root doesn't work with 2.2.1 roms the step just to install cwm to flash speedmod is kind of useless you can just flash darkys resurrection with odin download darky config and flash the newest version.... all steps together 10min without download....
you could use one click root beforehand so you can use titanium backup... .
guide 4steps :
1 flash darkys resurrection
2 download darky config and configure
3.flash newest darky
4. have fun

Thanks for your advice mate. I will follow your advice on explaining things in detail, for the guide however I already got to that guide long before and that is what I used on my own handphone but the alternative steps that I presented is what I and my friends found to be the easiest way.
For the devices on which one works, I have it on my disclaimer in red.

Great info

Looks like you posted just to say thank you, you are welcome guys. Good to see nice people here.

Just a warning so not to confuse people that really are beginners and probably wont realise this... You might want to change the part where it says 2.2 JPY to 2.2.1 JPY at the top of the first post.

Before we did this our firmware was really 2.2 and baseband is 1900XXJPY.

I would not recommend installing darky's resurrection as it auto lagfixes due to it using voodoo kernel.
Just flash any froyo rom and then speedmod for cwm, then flash your custom rom.

JPY is 2.2.1 which is what speedmod kernel is compatible with.
JPY isnt 2.2 thats completey different... 2.2 was for baseband JPM etc in earlier versions...
I think that if somebody tried to flash speedmod kernel onto 2.2 they would run into problems.
Also mate just to pick up on something else... Im not 100% sure on this but i dont think that z4root works on 2.2.1 JPY it only works on 2.2 ( or that was my understanding of it a long time ago... it could have been updated somehow to work on 2.2.1 )
Superoneclick root is the most renowned way to root a 2.2.1 device...
Not trying to rape your thread or anything mate... Im just trying to give some constructive feedback to make this thread as accurate as possible.
If it wasn't for these threads a lot of people would get no where.
There are loads of different ways to get darkyy's rom onto a your device from flash cf-root for 2e and installing rom manager from the market for CWM or flashing speedmod kernel for the CWM built in and then flashing the CWM version of the rom but if your looking for the FASTEST way, it would have to be going through ressurection if im completely honest.

Well that the speedmod kernel dont work on 2.2 is definitley wrong! I am on stock 2.2 and i am using k13c - works nicely. Also in the speedmod thread he states that the kernel works with every 2.2 or 2.2.1 rom.

- Based on JPX Android 2.2.1 kernel source
- Works on all stock Froyo 2.2 and 2.2.1 ROMs and popular custom ROMs
Thanks for the correction i apologise.
I was just going on the fact i knew it was based on 2.2.1 firmware, but as you say yes it does work on 2.2 aswel.
Thanks for clarifying that. My mistake

Would this work on GT-I9000 with Firmware version 2.2?
Sorry - newbie alert here:
My phone's "settings->About Phone" screen says:
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: I9000HVJP3
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #6
Build number: FROYO.HVJP4
It's a phone from Vodafone Australia which was upgraded from the original 2.1 to the official 2.2 via Kies then root'ed.
I'm a bit confused by the arguments here about 2.2.1 vs. 2.2 - Do you expect these instructions work on my phone?
Also - if I execute them - am I correct to understand that this only installs a new ROM but the kernel and the Android version will stay the same, allowing me to retain the Navigon application which came with the phone? (I hardly use it but plan to use it when I travel abroad and don't know what kind of network coverage I'll have).
Thanks!

New to Android & Mods: How am I doing?

It's taken me quite a few hours to figure out my new phone, then learning all this new jargon, rooting and install mods all using a Mac. I'm just curious if there's anything else I could do to give my Defy a little more of a kick. I just read a little about upgrading my OS. Good idea?
Here are my specs:
Model: MB525
Android Ver: 2.3.7
Kernel Ver: 2.6.32.9...
CPU: ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7I)
Mod: CyanogenMod-7.2.0-Jordan
Build No: GWK74
Also, the only hiccup I seem to find is when turning off (or not having a signal of) WiFi, my data connection doesn't work... unless I reboot. Is this an issue with Defies?

No, updating the ROM is a very bad idea, everybody on xda can tell you that! ^_^ ok just joking!
So if you are already on CM7, you should know how to flash custom roms, so what's the question?

to fix data conection you need install defy baseband changer v4 , select your company and check if the APN configuration is correct

Any suggestions for a newbie? i.e. which OS is the smoothest, any overclocking that would be recommended, ways to keep the battery lasting longer etc. Just general stuff since I'm pretty worn out from all the searching thread to thread so far. Cheers.

What is the correct baseband for the US?
This is what I've found so far:
forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/19285-motorola-defy-mb525/page__st__300#entry235847
Edit: US T-Mobile 3.4.2-107-9 Seems to have done it. I also checked APN and I was on the auto AT&T selection but when I checked my carrier's APN details they were identical, if anything the phone's defaults had more details than my carrier provided!

CM7.2 is the most stable build for Defy, but its pretty outdated,
You can try CM9(ICS), its great. And definitely JB is new, its usable but isn't totally bug-free.
I'd suggest you give those a try and just stick to what suits you best.

Cheers. I may try CM9 but i don't really have any complaints with my CM7. What would you say are the reasons for upping beside having a more recent build?

CM9 is little slow for my .... try Whiterabbit 1.5 o 1.6 is a custom cm7 whit better battery backup

[Q] Stay on Eclair or go to Froyo?

Hi! A friend left me his Defy so I could so I can put it on steroids as it's working really slow. It's still on Android 2.1 (Vodafone Spain) and never touched. I've read all the necessary stuff for beginners and understood everything (I'm not new to rooting and flashing, I've a fully hacked Desi), but I want to know a few things.
First of all, should I stay on 2.1 as base or is it better to upgrade to Froyo, in which case what is the preferred SBF?
As this is for a friend and I'm not gonna have access to his phone everyday I need a really stable rom. Are the latest CM roms stable enough?
And at last, I've read that some of this roms come with the kernel, what does that mean?
Thanks in advance for all the info.

1) You can upgrade to Froyo, or stay as it is(will not really affect performance) although people report Froyo to be a bit smoother
2)CM7 is very stable and fast( you may use maniacs or other builds)
3)I think you are referring to the 2ndboot ROMs which include a custom kernel. Though I personally use them, they may not be stable/fast enough for everyone
I would suggest trying cm7,9,10 and check how it works out for you

Yes, isn't that 2ndboot thing necessary to be able to boot any custom rom? So now if I would like to install a custom rom I should (update to Froyo,) root, install 2nd init and then flash the rom and recover the nandroid for that build?

Yes that's right, but what nandroid do you mean? Usually you don't have to recover nandroid. For CM7,9,10 you should just flash .zip from cwm. For ms2ginger you have to follow the instructions in op (there you have to use a nand backup)
Sent from my Defy green lense using xda-developers app

No, there are ROMs without custom kernel as well. Cm7 and all miui builds are based on stock kernel ( all GB ROMs). JB is available in both, so is ICS, and only a couple of ROMs are nandroid backups, rest are zips. Remember to wipe data as well while flashing builds

Root with framaroot, install 2ndinit (then open the app and install bootmenu). I hate it when people ask which is the most stable ROM, it is subjective to different usage patterns. CM10 4.1.2 or CM9 are comparatively stable. If you are more adventurous then try CM10.2/10.1.
To go back read this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889325. Take a screenshot of about phone in settings. See which build you have, and download appropriate SBF.
I'm sorry, I can't be more helpful than this. Links have to be searched by you.
