SIM card DO make a lot more difference than most people think.. as they age they die just like all other technology, and so if you've been given a new SIM I suggest you call AT&T from a separate phone (so you don't get cut out mid conversation) and ask them to activate your new SIM.

Coming from the world of apple iphone I am learning everything new here. One thing I loved about iphone was the ability to use WinSCP to modify root files. I understand that this can be done on the phone with in andriod but I have big hands and find it easier to use Winscp and mouse to navigate files on the phone.

Note: Mod if this in wrong section please help move

*Prerequisites: ROOT

*Tools required: SSHDROID (from market place it is free). Winscp

Install SSHDROID

Install WInscp (your pc will restart after install)

Connect your phone to your local wifi

open sshdroid, allow SUPER USER

in winscp type in ip address of phone (can be found by going to with in sshdriod screen)

Default User name is "root"

Default Password is "admin"

recommend changing... both user name and password

USer name can be change when first logging in winscp, password can be change with in SSHDROID in setting.

there you go you can now explor root files with in winscp with mouse and keyboard.

update : pictures of it working

nice, i never really bothered with this before, but its a good idea and probably worth the short amount of time required for setup, i'll try this later.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
Yeah, Thanks... I remember when I came over from icrap, I was looking for a way to SSH, but gave up and just used rootexplorer for everything, and adb. This will definitely help though, especially since I like to edit the build prop on the pc.

**Edit**

Works great... so much easier to browse now. IMO
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] stvmac11:
does this work to show system files? I use Samba Filesharing from the market to view my files through integrated windows networking (samba), but the system files don't show, just the sdcard.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] raybond25:
Yes, he says it displays root files, and system files fall under that. I haven't tested myself so I can't personally testify but I'd be inclined to trust the OP on that.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] stvmac11:
thanks for the reassurance, i guess i overlooked it.

i also came from an iphone too, so accessing the whole system is important.

Thinking it has to do with permissions, I just don't know what. Any help would be appreciated!

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Markanski:
I can confirm that using SSHDroid in combination with WinSCP, will preserve the file time stamp (modified date) when copying files from Windows to Android 2.3.5 or Android 4.4.2. Most copy methods will update the file time stamp. (I don't think it makes any difference but both of the devices were rooted.)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] codenamezero:
So i've tried different ways of doing it...

- rooted using "All in one solution by Mikevhl"

- download and installed xRecovery 0.3

- rebooted and spam BACK when SE letter comes up, nothing happened.

- Reset back to factory

- rooted the same way

- download BusyBox from Market, installed ans symlink the latest 1.19 BusyBox

- installed xRecovery 0.3

- rebooted, again, spamming BACK and nothing happen

I've tried having the USB cable plugged in, and unplugged. Both way give me the same thing... What else am i missing? UGH...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] PaulitoX77:
let me share what i did

after rooting... i downloaded the xrecovery rar file from here

then i downloaded Titanium backup from the market. Once installed i clicked "Problems?" on that app and it downloaded busybox

after busybox installed i then unpacked the xrecovery on my pc. it contains three files (chargemon busybox and xrecovery.zip)

i copied those three to my SD card.

On my phone i opened root explorer, opened sd card and selected those three files then clicked MOVE

set root explorer to mount R/W then go to system/bin and paste the three files there.

reboot and keep pressing the back key once the SE white logo apprears. VIOLA!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Wussiwuh:
"spamming" the back button didnt work for me. you have to press it once every second.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Dude try to install busy-box from Titanium Backup..And then use the files which i uploaded below and use them instead of files u got from the xRecovery thread....Do the steps as same as written on thread,but use my file...You'll see it soon!!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gdeliana:
Hi you can use the flash tool for x10 mini, first root and it will automatically restart, then press ask for permissions, the the xrecovery button becomes avaible and finally press it :). Just dont press the optimize button coz it's intended to jit the big xperia with v2 jit, if you press it your device will be stuck in an infinite loop and never get out of that without removing the battery cable inside your phone :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] codenamezero:
I will try it tonight, but also faced another problem, after i re-mount it with RW, if i reboot, everything goes back to RO. I try to locate the equivalent of /etc/fstab in the android but i couldn't find it.

Does your phone's file-system permission stick after reboot?

Are you guys all using the 0.1 beta or the latest 0.3 releases?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Satch09:
Beware of the market busybox, I updated mine to .19 and it caused major problems.

I was using MiniCM, installed the market busybox and the phone looped. Also, when I was using Srom, I uninstalled some system apps (the usual stuff I don't use) and the phone rebooted and I lost my root... which meant that I couldn't get into recovery.

So maybe try pratyush_gamer's idea, should work, his knowledge has helped me!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] codenamezero:
Still no go, tried titanium backup's busybox, tried to manually copy and paste those 3 files, tried to delete those 3 files and reinstall the xRecovery package...

I'm running 2.1.1.A.0.6 and Kernel 2.6.29 SEMCHost#1

Should i downgrade or something?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Satch09:
Did you upgrade using the below method? I'd and it worked for me.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=947290

I didn't do the manual recovery thing, I downloaded Bin4ry's flash tool

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=826455

It does everything for you root, flashing, JIT, recovery and remove system apps. Suggest you check it out.

These are the methods I used, let me know if it works

Oh and don't worry about the optimize button, it works fine on the mini. If you download the X10 version it might loop after JIT but theres a mini version too.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] codenamezero:
I download the flashtool before, and the firmware, but when i select Flash, it never let me select the Sony Ericsson X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897.zip nor the extracted ftf file...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Satch09:
What I did is replace my build.prop (the one sitting in /system) with the one pedrocel85 provided, rebooted, connected my phone to SEUS and did the upgrade the normal way through SEUS and then did the JIT, recovery etc. modding afterwards with flasher. So I haven't used the "flashing" capability of the tool and can't tell you much about the firmware side.

Check your basebrand: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015, maybe that could be the problem.

Do you have SEUS installed on your PC? If not, get it off of the SE website try replace the build.prop, reboot and follow the SEUS steps.

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...eserviceapplication/xperiax10mini?cc=gb&lc=en

You will end up with the exact firmware that I have.

Good luck
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] koalaii:
Same issue here

I have the fresh newest firmware from SE. The 3 Xrecovery files are installed in the bin folder.

I did follow all the steps and can't get the recovery mode.

I've tried for hours different ways. It just does not work. I gave up. If there is a new release I will try.

koa
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] codenamezero:
It said "No new software is available for your phone"... I already have the latest firmware.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] codenamezero:
OK. I've re-format my SD card, reset to factory setting AGAIN. (however, is weird, the build.prop that i put in earlier is still there)

So i downloaded:

- xRecovery 1.0 beta (i read that the 2.0 and 3.0 doesn't work

- install busybox 1.15.2

- install RootExplorer and copied the xRecovery files to system/bin

- chmod 777 all the files

Reboot nothing happen...

- copy paste the xRecovery files into system/xbin (desperately trying to get this **** to work)

Reboot... nothing happen. i was spamming the back button the whole time. I've seen some youtube video, people spam it and the xRecovery menu come up within like half a second after the SE logo come out...

This thing won't go into the xRecovery at all. I'm completely out of idea... If anyone else have any other new tricks, please let me know.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] codenamezero:
Fixed. Went to redownload another FlasherTool, using the non-beta v2.8.0

- Hit Root, Reboot

- Hit Ask Root Perms

- Optimize (maybe this is optional, but i was trying it out and hit it)

- Hit xRecovery

- Advanced -> xRecovery -> Reboot into xRecovery.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Satch09:
Awesome, thought the flasher would work!

Enjoy!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Satch09:
Try Bin4ry's flasher tool
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] koalaii:
It works

It works, Xrecovery is now installed.

The steps I have followed :

- First, I installed the latest firmware from SE : Latest 2.1.1.A.0.6 SE firmware because I just got a new Xperia Mini I'm upgrading to MiniCM6.

- I have downloaded the 3 files given by pratyush_gamer in this post (post No4)

- Upload these 3 files in the SD card

- Using rootexplorerthe 3 files were copy/paste in the system/bin

- Restart the phone while pressing the "back" button.

Many thanks for your help

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The420Dank:
Thanks for reading this, I apologize if this has been asked already but I've searched and could not find anything. If anyone knows a fix I would very much appreciate to know. I have the Samsung Focus with ATT

I'm stuck with an unbranded phone and cannot receive future updates, and cannot use Chevron7 to dev unlock my phone to re-brand my phone. The only way I've heard of but have not yet confirmed is by purchasing the dev unlocking tools from Microsoft directly. Being as forcing NoDo on my focus prevents me from using chevron7 to unlock the phone so I can re-brand it back to AT&T. That prevents me from being able to get the new ATT nodo update. My question is, if I purchase the dev tools from Microsoft for $99, would I be able to rollback my focus pre-nodo through zune and with ATT being re-branded, could I get that ATT focus nodo update?

Sorry if this is confusing, thanks in advance for any advice.

Any particular reason you cannot rollback your device using the official tool from Microsoft?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The420Dank:
I typed a response back and it didn't post... Scrt, what official tool are you talking about? Do you mean the dev unlock tools you can buy for $99? See I forced the update and I'm stuck with an un-branded phone and I can't unlock with Chevron7 and I can't receive future updates like Mango. I can rollback using Zune but since I can't unlock using Chevron7, I cannot re-brand my phone to ATT to get the ATT Focus update.

So I'm asking if anyone knows that if I buy the dev tools from Microsoft for $99 and unlock my phone that way... Would I be able to do that and re-brand to ATT, then download the ATT Focus update?

I had this problem with my Samsung Focus, i had it unbranded and it was updated to the nodo update.

Now i have the at&t firmware update and Nodo update and my phone is still dev unlocked. So happy!!

This is how I did it, First of all, you have to downgrade or restore your focus to 7008 OS.

Then make sure you phone is dev unlocked and download WP7 Root Tools 0.3alpha.xap

once you have downloaded the homebrew app, rebrand your focus by opening up the WP7 Root Tools app, and follow these instructions: Go to REGISTRY

LocalMachine\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator

and SET String then change VALUE: ATT-US

After that you phone will be rebranded to At&t. You can use the same steps for a rogers branded samsung focus, just replace ATT-US with ROG-CA and you should be good to go. Then make sure you use the Samsung Tools.xap app before you update your phone to NODO. just check the prevent relock section in the samsung tools app and reboot your phone, double check that it is checked and update away. There you guys go, im here to help, I hope this helps most of you.
