Thanks. And just to make sure if i restore my backup of my WB CM(without data, that's TB's job) it should go back to normal kernel and stuff right?

Also, will flashing the DT update from Bin4ry cause any problems? I love me some DT.

Q

can i flash the custom kernel on wolfbreak 2.2.1
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erenz1202:
DT not from the system it's from the baseband

just flash .504 n then flash bb 52
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
that's not correct at all....

baseband is the radio of the phone.

dual touch is from the kernel.

Don't answer questions if you don't know what you're talking about
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realorasz:
Aaaaaand the question still remains...

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erenz1202:
but bb from rendeiro collection include the kernel

i'm flashing .504 then bb 52 from rendeiro and DT work on all my application without editing build.prob.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
well then that is because you flashed the kernel and the baseband in one shot....

My point still stands, and what you said is very misleading. The dual touch is not included in the baseband
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
This is true, baseband and kernel are two different things.

But, in the baseband collection thread, there is a ftf bundle for bb .49

that includes the DT kernel.

Thus, the confusion! ;)

I know this, because I flashed it today, for my MIUI!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realorasz:
DoomLord, where are you? I still havent learned whether or not Z's kernel already has DT, or if ill need to install Bin4ry's DT addon(If so, at what point in the process).
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Bin4ry's DT addon is a kernel, so if you install this over the custom kernel,

you will most certainly lose the custom kernel

.

Now, what remains to be answered is whether the custom kernel includes DT.

I believe yes, but I'm not quite sure.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
I decided Teoh install 024 just for testing but after install z's kernel something really strange happen.

Lost wifi but even more strange, kernel info still SE one. Android another, lost access Teoh xrec
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realorasz:
Thanks, but i dont think thats accurate. If it was a whole new kernel, it would be brand new as of the bootloader bypassing. It was there beforehand. Also, it's even called an addon. A module for the kernel itself... yeah.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
This is very much accurate. If you see the contents of the ftf bundle, you will see a file "kernel.sin" (see screenshot).

The problem with the locked bootloader is that we could not run custom kernels,

meaning kernels not signed by SE.

This kernel, though, was officially signed by SE, thus we could install it on our devices.

And if something was not possible but then, that is modules for the kernel.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realorasz:
Ah. I stand corrected. So that means, i should just proceed as I guessed. Alright. Step 2, wipe everything. Before I do that, do you agree with doomlord on my steps?

backup

wipe

flash SE 2.1

flash BB52

root

install busybox and xrec

boot into xrec and install kernel zip
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Yeap, that sounds right!

You better flash stock SE ROM .24,

which include the correct baseband, .52.

;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realorasz:
Well i already downloaded .504... unless .24 is better. Otherwise i like to keep long downloads to a minimum.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
.24 was meant to be an improvement, but you shouldn't notice dramatic differences.

I think .504 will do just fine! :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realorasz:
Cool. Backup my apps and then i'm off to try this out.

You wouldn't happen to know where this"hypershell" is that i can use with titanium, would you?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
I think this "hypershell thing" is used by Titanium Backup

,

for quicker backup/restore procedure.

If you have the Free Version, things will be a little slower,

but still OK! ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realorasz:
Figured s much. Always have to pay for what you want...

Wish me luck?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realorasz:
Having a problem. Hopefully you can help?

I did everything i was told to, but...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
OK, let's see what could have gone wrong...

1) Are you absolutely sure you followed the instructions for putting your phone in flash mode to the letter? Once you press Flash, a windows with animated istructions will appear. Turn off your phone, press the Back key and keep it pressed while you are plugging the device to the USB cable (that can be tricky, I know :D)

2) Have you installed PC Companion and SEUS on your PC? Because those are needed, as they include the drivers for the device.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realorasz:
I guess its seus im missing.

IS there a mirror? The Sony support page is down it seems.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
I don't know if there's a mirror, unfortunately.

Once you install SEUS, plug your phone as if you wanted to update,

until it asks you to put it in flash mode.

By putting it in flash mode, SEUS will install the needed drivers!

After that's done, close SEUS, reboot your PC and try the FlashTool procedure again.

It should work fine!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realorasz:
Do you know what the latest version is? I found something but if its not latest i dont think its what i need

Finally got it, installing now.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
You don't need to install seus... The drivers are in the drivers folder included with flashtool
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realorasz:
I dont know how to install those.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
Double click on the package and it installs itself lol
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realorasz:
No it doesn't. Im using 0.2.8 if thats a factor in this. Or am i suposed to use the beta? Otherwise, SEUS is installed and now it flashes everything and then ends telling me it was aborted.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realorasz:
Hell, i can't even do an SEUS repair because its telling me everythings normal!! Now my phone is ****ing bricked!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlossGhost:
Do you have other PC?

If yes, try on other!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realorasz:
PLease tell me someone knows how to fix this!!! Im not kidding the phone will not boot up i get the phone next to a ! and SEUS wont repair it!!!!

I followed the instructions and this is what i get.... brilliant
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G-FACE:
Maybe try with PC companion instead.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realorasz:
I did. Nothing.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G-FACE:
Now something popped up in my mind. Delete the content of folder C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db. I think that way SEUS should give you the repair (or reinstall) button.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlossGhost:
And if this don't work, find other USB port, go to Safe Mode, turn the phone off and go to FlashMode, wait for the drivers to install.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realorasz:
None worked. Why the hell- can someone please give me DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS on how im supposed to make flashtool work? I've searched the whole forum and come up with nothing and the phone should have been freaking unbrickable due to SEUS ability.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DooMLoRD:
Ok hold on

here wht to do...

1) check usb data cable

2) try changing usb ports

3) disable antivirus/firewall and close all other apps

4) download latest flashtool (v0.2.9.1) there is a folder called \drivers\ install the prgram ggsetup-2.2.0.10.exe

5) start flashtool -> click flash -> select baseband package want to use -> connect device in flashmode -> DO NOT DISTURB CABLE

if this doesnt work try rebooting and then disable antivirus/firewall and close all other apps and try flashing again

if u still are unable to get flashmodedrivers:

in flashtool directory find the folder called DRIVERS there is a file X10_ADB_drivers.zip extract it in some tmp folder... there will be a folder called SEMC_Signed in the extracted location.. open it.. right click on file "sa0101usb.inf" and click "install"... this will install x10 drivers for flashmode...

EDIT:

if u still have problem... download teamviewer and install it... and send me ur teamviewer id & remote control password via p.m.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DooMLoRD:
ok wait... we will resolve one issue at a time...

SO device has some stock FW right?

do this:

flash the stock FW (complete) not baseband only... since u want to test custom kernel i recommend u flash stock FW 2.0.2.A.0.24 (already has DT baseband 2.0.49/2.0.52) or 2.0.A.0.504 (this has baseband 2.0.46 which i cant remember is DT or not)

u can get the full stock FW frm http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746

EDIT:

FW- 2.1.1.A.0.16 / 2.1.1.A.0.6 / 2.1.A.0.435 come with basebands 2.1.5x and are compatible with basebands 2.1.5x only

FW - 2.0.2.A.0.24 / 2.0.A.0.504 come with basebands 2.0.xx and are compatible with basebands 2.0.xx only

DO NOT TRY TO USE baseband other than compatible ones else u will face FCs/random reboots/no radio (gsm/wcdma/wifi wont work)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waydownsouth:
OK, So I'm shopping for a new phone,

I've been enjoying getting my feet wet with a comparatively low end model & am becoming somewhat addicted to constantly tinkering, have managed to compile my own kernel and now feel the need for an upgrade.

This (Desire Z) is currently at the top of my list as it seems to be well supported by the dev community & I really want a qwerty keypad!

So, as users of this phone & knowing what you know now...

Would you buy this phone again?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hubba88:
Well, I love my Z and i think it works fast and the keyboard is amazing. But the problem these days is: Dual core phones are coming out a lot right now, and even the fast processor of the G2 can't compare to that. So, as much as i love my Desire Z, I would wait a while for a Dual Core HTC (like the Pyramid).

But ofcourse: If you REALLY want a phone right now, a Desire Z with an Otterbox Commuter case is my recommendation! (since I personally love the Otterbox case, hehe.)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waydownsouth:
Cool, thanks for the input...

I hear what you're saying, my thinking right now is that in order to learn more about kernel & ROM development, is that I should be getting something that has a good amount of hacking & dev work behind it already.

The newer phones are less charted waters & I'm not experienced enough to be a pioneer;)

Will be sure to look at the otterbox case
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hubba88:
Yep, that's also true. And indeed, there is alof of development going on for the Desire Z, it's great. And so many awesome roms to choose from as well.:)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] detox702:
As Hubba88 said, at this point, I'd wait for a dual core like the HTC Pyramid/Sensation. But, I love my G2 and am very happy with the purchase. Great keyboard, capacitive buttons are in the right place, very responsive trackpad. All in all typically great HTC build quality. CyanogenMod support is a huge plus as well for this phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Utorrent76:
If I knew that the z hinge was going to be so ****ty no,I would not buy it again. I'd go for a unibody design instead.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyC:
If the keyboard is important to you, as well as the tinkering aspect, then I reckon this is a good phone.

Not sure there has been much talk of dual core's with keyboards? So a real Desire Z upgrade may be some way beyond the next few HTC phones. Even then when they come out it takes time to build the developer base behind it and get rooting sorted etc. I moved a month and a bit ago and reckon there will be nothing to make me desperately want an upgrade for at least a year.

Look how well the desire has done and still does. The DZ has a better processor and more storage on board etc. The overclockability of the chip seems to be something that will extend its lifespan in terms of performance against the newer phones.

Always worth remembering that there is often quite a difference between phones being rumoured, then announced, and then actually on sale and being hacked. Therefore if a desire Z replacement is not yet in the rumours, it will likely be quite a while before its out there in the real world.

So yeah, I think its a good phone, although not perfect.

As I have insurance with my contract I will be OK with any problems with the Hinge - but none so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
I voted yes but if I were in the market for a phone now I'd wait till the G2x was available and compare side by side. I suspect I'd get that one because it's newer, faster and has a more future proof AT&T compatible radio.
