[Q] Help anyone. Idiot Guide to rooting back to OS 1.6?

Hi, i have been looking through some of the rooting, flash threads on here and there is a bit too much information,lol.
Can anyone detail the basic steps, software required to roll my X10 back to the 1.6 OS?
I am still having connectivity issues when trying to use the handset in the car.
The vehicle manufactures website shows that the Xperia X10i is compatible with their factory fitted handsfree systems, but only on OS 1.6.
1. Download this and extract in any folder of your computer:megaupload.com/?d=HCWX4KO3 (The credits of this goes for its creators)
2. Open the folder that its named 1_firmware and in the fileDeviceID.txt copy yours, save and close. (This is the same as the one used on the flashtools of Bin4ry)
This is how you can get your DeviceID on Windows: (Again thanks tojimbo77)
2.1: Connect your phone to the computer on the USB port you are going to use to flash it.
2.2: Press start (or windows icon) and in the run box type regedit
2.3: Click edit>find, and type in Vid_0fce&Pid_adde. You should find "DeviceInstance". If that fails, make sure Match whole stringis un-ticked, and click find next or press f3, if that fails, tryUSB\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE. Copy the last section of that, it should look something like "5&2888d0ff&0&1".
Note: It changes with every diffrent USB port you use....3. Download your Firmware, extract it and copy all the files on it to the 1_firmware folder. You don't have to erase anything from this folder, unless you got the message to replace a file.
4. Now run the RootX10a_v2.cmd and select step 1 and follow the instructions. If done correctly you will see a window that starts to write and write and write a lot of things. This process will take around 5 minutes, so be patient. (It is like if you were flashing your phone)
5. Turn your phone on and wait until you get the configuration screen.
6. Now connect the phone to the PC and run PC Companion or SEUS. If it shows that there is a new software for your phone, follow the instructions and update if you want.
7. Enjoy your phone on Android OS 1.6 or 2.1 with your operator
Thank you on anticipation to any help offered.
I have had a look here, but am not 100% if this is all that i need to do?
Sorry, not able to post the link, being a new user.
The one part that is not clear to me is where they say, "Open the folder that its named 1_firmware and in the fileDeviceID.txt copy yours, save and close"
What is it that im supposed to copy?

No.. no...
You need the flashtool and the 1.6 files..
I cant seem to find the 1.6 files...
Why do you need 1.6?

SE seem to have done something with the update 2.1 where the phones Bluetooth will connect to my vehicle, but only for about 40 seconds, then removes its self and then re attaches, then removes its self again and this goes on for the duration the handset is in the car with me.
The handset i have just now was a replacement for my original and came with the 2.1 OS already updated.
The original 1.6 OS that was on the phone connected to my vehicle and gave me phonebook access.
I have neither now hence why i wish to roll back to the software that is compatible with my vehicles system. 1.6 buildR1FA016 Kernel 2.6

Thanks for the above, but can you break this into more simple instructions, links etc as this is way above me. I'm not totally useless, but i have never done anything like this, so it is all double dutch to me at this point in time,lol.

Download the flashtool from androxyde's thread then follow the instructions to flash the latest FW, then reboot your phone plug it in and press root on the flashtool and then reboot and install XRecovery and use it to install a custom ROM by following the directions in a ROM thread.
Just start by reading the Flashtool thread.

Had a read at the flash tool thread and even more confused now, too much information and no understanding of what it all means.

I am looking for someone who can supply links to what i actually need to roll the phone back.
What software do i require.
Do i have to root the phone and if so, how do you do this?
I did say in the thread title an "Idiots Guide". Simple and straightforward instructions that a first timer can comprehend, similar to the text in my first post, bullet points?
Thanks.

I did and it's version this and version that. So which version is it that i actually need without screwing up my phone?
Suppose i'm more looking for something along the lines of what you would get if you downloaded a torrent file, where everything is in the one folder, inc the instructions.
Anyway, hopefully problem is sorted, as i am ditching SE after 10 years of using their handsets and going to Samsung which is compatible with my vehicles factory fitted system.

[Q] Lenovo Lepad S1 Y1011 - leaked rom

Hello,
my borther brougt me this tablet from china for chrismas: Lenovo Lepad y1011 (sry can't send a link becaus i'm a new user...)
But Lenovo has changed everything on android and they call it OS 2.0 (= Android 2.2 )
Maybe someone found a solution to update the OS to honeycomb or to install CWM?
I have read so mutch chinese forms but the googletranslator didn't find something usefull for me.
I hope someone of you may help me.
thx MiracelVip

hi, the thinkpad tablet never came with anything lower than 3.1, also that isn't a valid model number for this tablet.
I think you must have something other than a thinkpad tablet
Cheers
Tom

Check here, shows the instructions for that model.

Yes i know this thread! But its just about rooting and installing google maps and the market... but the market in this thread isn't working anymore! i think the version is to old...
but i hate the lenove OS, i would like it to install another one or maybe develop my own one if CWM would work
it's this one: h**p://appserver.lenovo.com.cn/shop/shop_Detail.aspx?gdsid=A2100014142

Unfortunately, it's said that Lenovo has no any upgrade plan for this pad. LePad S1(Y1011) is the first mode of pad from Lenovo. the product, particularly its deep customized OS, is in very low maturity. short after its released to the market, it's ended production and replaced by A1 series pad. that's the situation, so disappointed, and angry. and finally, its ROM leaked.
i searched some Chinese forum and got the following leaked ROM:
* LePad S1 Ver_Wifi ROM here
* LePad S1 Ver_3G ROM here
* resource pack here
hope it helpful to you guys who may interested look into the code

Thanks for this informations! Does someone know what we can do with this files?
________________________________________________________________________
This files are working! While I tried to install Gapps i bricked my Y1011 and i was able to reflash everything by using fastboot and LePad S1 Ver_3G ROM.
thx again for the files

hi i have the same tablet and really heavy problems. i look at all chinese forums with google translation and it is horrible to find anything about a working custom firmware.
if you instal the upper firmware it will be nice to tell us something about the changes. when i want to download i didnt work download allways stopp. the name is the same like the orriginal number.
im loking for a stable full android version. im read that there is a chinese caled chita he costum firmware for the lephone and the lephone works normal withe leos like the lepad.
so if anybody knew news about the lepad y1011 it wil be nice to write it here.

thorwald

yes i was able to install the firmeware above but ther are no changes! its just a leaked original version
at the moment i'm uploading the firmewares to uploaded.to
watch the 1. post

Thanks for your post. So i wont install the leaked rom if it isnt a full android. Do you know anything about Chitas Roms.
I worked with Costum Rom for my Archos Tablet and for HTC sensation xl but i m not god enough to custom a own one.
But i got Market place working without Gaaps. I have some mistakes with 492 but only by a few apps.
Thanks for upp the Files if I break it its easy to unbrick it. I will download it.
If some from China will inform us it will be very nice.

you have been able to install the market?! could you give me tutorial how you have done this? and thefiles you installed?
everytime i've tried it i bricked my device
(gerne auch auf deutsch )

At First German is on this forum not allowed. Forum rules (mir wärs auch lieber)
I have got market work with some mistakes on some files got mistake 492 if you find the APK on other Place the most will work but not with autoupdate.
Some Games will not work bcause the OS2.0.0 The Hardware is god enough
So here are how to do it
Install LeTools on Windows 7 PC. it is assumed that LenovoStore on your Lepad is already connected usin wifi.
Connect USB cable with Windows 7 PC
unzip attached file to your PC.
1. Copy all attached files to your LePad using LeTools in any known directory.
2. Use LePad filemanager and click on z4root.apk and install it. Its icon will appear on last Desktop
3. Use LePad file manager and click on Root_Explorer.apk and install it. Its icon will appear on last Desktop
4. Click on Z4root icon to run it. select temporary root permission
5. Click on Root_Explorer icon. It may say that it needs a restart to gain root access. so re run.
6. Now little hardwork. Find the folder where you copied the files. You have to copy following files to the folder /system/app
a. Vending.apk
b. Network location.apk
c. Market updater.apk
d. talk.apk
e. googleServicesFramework.apk
f. googlePartnerSetup.apk
7. Touch the file name and hold for a second, menu will appear. Select copy and go on top of listed files where .. is there for going to previous directory. keep going back till you reach the root folder.
8. Go to folder /system/app and touch the copy button at bottom of LePad screen.
9. Repeat the process for all above files.
10. Change the permissions on each copied file by touching the file name and holding for a second, from menu selecting permissions.
Select permissions as follows
User - Read and write
Group - Read
Others - Read
11. Now shutdown the LePad and then Power On.
12. Use file Manager and go to folder where you initially copied the files. Touch the Vending.apk to install it.
13. Now you should have Google market icon on Last Desktop.
14. All the best. You are needed to have a gmail account to use Google market.
I will look were i can Upload the files. If you start and stop the market it will automatik update to the 4.3.3
h**p://dl.dropbox.com/u/56215670/rootet.rar

Stuck on OptimusRs Pro 2 Rom KK.

So i've flashed OptimusRs's rom yesterday and i made a mistake by not flashing it with the costume recovery he gave on his theard.
now I'm able to get into my phone but i have no signal from my network operator at all.
i tried to flash a kdz via download mode and it won't work it says in the LGM support tools that my phone has the latest version and won't let me upgrade it.
i can't flash to another ROM because there's no costume rec for KK just yet.
what do i do?

In the guide in the link provided use method 2;
"Method 2. edit host file
thanks @Hid3rs
1. Go to windows/system32/drivers/etc/ and open your hosts file! (open it with wordpad)
2 . Add this line at the end of the document:
127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com
3. Save hosts file
4. Install msxml (you can find it in the downloaded KDZ_FW_UPD_EN folder)
5. Start http in the shttps folder
6. Start Windows Enabler and turn it on (system tray!)
7. Start UpTestEX_mod2_marwin
8. Flash your .kdz as you normally would"
This is what I did to help not running as admin when I ran into that problem.

FASTBOOT menu is overlined in red.
4) FLASH TWRP RECOVERY
Using the same Windows command prompt, enter :
Code:
fastboot devices
to make sure phone is still available.
Then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.6.1_9-0-m7univ.img
Command returns :
Code:
finished. total time: x.xxxxs
##€ If it fails, tries with a Windows Powershell shell.
Now on phone, press Volume- to select Bootloader, confirm with Power button.
You are back to the booloader screen (UNLOCKED is written on top line), press Volume- to navigate to RECOVERY, and confirm with Power button.
Phone reboots in TWRP recovery.
5) WIPE PARTITIONS
In TWRP, check Never show this screen and Swipe to Allow Modifications.
You land on TWRP Home screen.
Go to Wipe > Advanced wipe.
Select Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage then Swipe to Wipe, go back to Wipe menu.
6) FLASH ROM, GAPPS AND ROOT (OPTIONNAL)
We first have to get our zips on the phone.
Still on TWRP Home screen, tap on Mount > deselect all partitions except Data, then connect phone to PC.
In Windows Explorer, you can see MTP Device, copy the zips of ROM, GApps, Magisk + Magisk Manager right in the Internal Storage folder.
Tap on Disable MTP once copy is finished.
Then back to Home screen, tap on Install > choose lineage*.zip,
(if you don't see the files, tap on Select Storage and make sure Micro SDCard is active)
then Add more Zips -> Magisk*.zip,
then Add more Zips -> bitgapps*.zip,
then Swipe to confirm Flash.
Wait for operation to end (can be long).
When completed successfully, tap on Reboot.
Tap on Do not install when TWRP asks for the app install.
Wait during long first boot.
Setup Android.
7) You can use Backupyourmobile to restore data,
use GPS Status & Toolbox app to enhance GPS fix.
That's it.
Enjoy,
djibe

The M7 is not equipped with a mircoSD card slot, only a virtual /sdcard (symlink to /data/media/0) ... So they'll either have to adb sideload or adb push the files to internal memory which is pointless at this stage since it will be wiped during bootloader unlock. Or drag n drop the files using mtp from twrp once it's installed on the phone.
3 ) UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
[...]
Now wait while phone is going to Factory reset.
Setup Android again on next boot.
4 ) FLASH RECOVERY
Now re-enable USB debugging in Android.
Using the same Windows command prompt, type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
again.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You could save a lot of time just force rebooting to bootloader (power + vol down) right after BL unlock/factory reset are completed so you don't have to setup the system you're going to wipe 2 steps later. USB debug anyway isn't required to fastboot flash recovery so it's not like booting back in system is mandatory before flashing recovery.
:good:

@alray : Thank you so much for help.
I'm lazy with baby waking up every night and did some awful copy-paste.
I correct all these right now.
Thanks.

I would highly recommend to use the official downloads of twrp, HTC drivers, roms and so on, you uploaded these files to your google drive and there is stuff in it nobody will ever need. And nobody knows if those files are in original condition. Strange thats the third time this year someone tries to get users to use their stuff (for a five years old device) there are already a lot of guides out there and several thousand people did it several thousand times without problems. Also you wrote that this would be official lineage but its unofficial, and for that there is already a thread here. The other two threads got deleted by mods because they tried to get users to use files from unknown suspects sources. Use android file host and maybe tell in los thread where those files are stored, whats the source and who made it.

Because you are a senior member you know where to download everything.
But everyone is not like you.
So I tried to compile a ready-to-go pack for the newcomers, like I did for many devices by know.
This allows noobs to profit from custom ROMs and don't keep it esoteric.
Like you say, many downloads are just hacks, so I tried to bundle lowest size safe files.

For the official LOS ROM, tell LOS to store official builds. As they don't do it anymore, we must rely on personnal builds.
A lot of guides out there ? Made extensive search for cracking this phone, never found a step by step one.
Five year old device ? Still so good once unleashed. Custom ROMs are for these devices isn't it ?

@djibe89 Might be useful to point out in your opening post that the 20180420 build has DT2W enabled, but I'd like feedback from people with a functional battery if it makes their device reboot or not, similar to issues reported in the original kernel thread. I suspect my battery is on its way out. The 20180416 build is completely stock upstream LineageOS, no DT2W.
Thanks for the credit .

All the custom roms mentioned above are NOT for your phone variant.There were almost no development for the 802 branch at the peak of it's popularity and I didn't see anything new for this variant in the past 2 years or so. I wouldn't expect a 7.1 roms for this variant...
Maybe you'll have better luck searching on Asian forums

Hi.
After installing Android 7.1 Google Pay stop working on my phone. I have torn on NFC communication but terminal don't read my card from app. I don't turn on access to root. Any aidia how to solve this issue?

I have an M7 that I would like to update Android on however the above is a bit over my head. I have seen other sites and video showing this to only take a few minutes and not requiring a PC. Am I missing something? I just don't quite understand the process of it all.

Flashing without a PC can be done but not recommended. If something goes wrong (and thrust me, it happens pretty often) you'll be stuck with a bootlooping phone.
The guide at post #1 is all you need, what part exactly do you have problem understanding?

Thanks for that. I tried to go through it nice and slow making sure I understood each step. I got to where I needed to open a command window on the "flash" folder to which I must have powershell(?) installed as it gave me that option. After inputting 'adb devices' it listed a device but stated it was offline. This is where I am stuck as the steps after this do not work.

drivers win10
Hi, I have a basic ask. Do you know where to get Win 10 drivers? I can't run the installer HTCDriver_4.2.0.001 on my Windows 10 (version 1803).
It gives me the error: The driver installer is not supported for your operating system. Thanks for your help.
