OK.. let me make this perfectly clear.

For us rom junkies..

1. It's pointless to update till we know for certain that we can still root and still flash.

2. It's pointless to unlock the bootloader till we have anything we can use it for.

We must be patient the dev's are working hard for us and we should all be very thankful.
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
It doesn't feel good to be accused for your expressing your opinion, right? ;)

Lesson learned then!

Anyway, I am not a developer, so I formed my view by what DoomLord said and he didn't say don't update, he said there is a chance that Flashtool will not work. That is as true as the sun, my friend. Whether it will happen or not, you and me both we'll see. So, stop these arguments, they are pointless, we have no personal indifferences. Say what you think, I'll say what I think, let's leave it at that.

PS: Sorry if I scared anyone about the update. I promise that I will NOT hunt down and kill whoever goes on with the update. :p

[XPERIA X10 General] abrarabbu:
Unlocking bootloader wont effect our phones....

May be someone will come up with idea of locking bootloader again.. ha ha ah..

Even if bootloader is unlocked, developers need to write codes for camera, cam, etc etc.. so its not that worthy too.

Better we wait for Official update, then we will have all things working.

I am ok even with locked bootloadr as lng as we have fully working roms
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
well the main reason the devs are waiting for "GB update" is to get GB compatible camera sources for X10... anything other than that is purely addon...
[XPERIA X10 General] realunited123:
Lets just hope we can use the camera sources unlike Arc :(
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
@all

let me explain why i am suggesting that we dont jump to GB update...

consider this hypothetical situation:

SE doesnt unlock bootloader

SE blocks flashing via current flashtool route

SE release android version 2.3.3 (similar to Arc) [this breaks GingerBreak exploit!]

devs at xda/other community are not able to get viable unlock bootloader solution

now given the above hypothetical situation this is wht will happen:

firstly we loose root!

we wont be able to gain root privileges on the device! this is because SE 2.3.3 FW (atleast the one on Xperia 2011 devices) patches the exploit used by GingerBreak

we wont be able to get back to 2.1 stock FW!

this is because SE has clearly stated (correct me if i am wrong) that after GB update u wont be able get back to older FW (using SEUS atleast)...

and if current flashtool route is blocked then we wont be able to flash older FW!

u will LOSE RECOVERY!

cause to install recovery we need the device to be rooted (or have ability to flash modded kernel)

so essentially u will be stuck with stock SE 2.3 FW

which may or may not have fps uncap

which wont allow u to root

u wont be able to remount system as RW (so no theming/modding)

u wont have recovery

u wont be able to use custom kernels

the thing is even if one of the things mentioned in the above hypothetical situation proves to incorrect i.e. the following happens:

if SE unlocks bootloader

if SE doesnt block flashing via current flashtool route (or if the devs at xda manage to get flashtool functioning again)

if SE release android version 2.3.3 which doesnt breaks GingerBreak exploit

if devs at xda/other community are able to get viable unlock bootloader solution

then atleast we might be able to root and get back to stock 2.1 fw...

hope this clears some confusion/doubts

ya thats why i am really worried! the situation at Arc CM7 thread doesnt seem to be very good :(

on Arc, camera on custom roms (CM7 as of now) doesnt work!

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15485961&postcount=644
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Also you should know, if bootloader stays locked you can receive OTA updates and always repair/update with SEUS.
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
u can always relock bootloader (thanks to freexperia team ;)) to get those things...

[Tutorial] Relock bootloader!

oh btw on unlocked bootloader devices (Arc,etc..) if u do OTA update u brick ur device! and then SEUS doesnt recognize it :D

though even that is fixed by the unbrick package by FreeXperia team ;)

[Tutorial] Fix FOTA bricked (unlocked bootloader) Phones
[XPERIA X10 General] abrarabbu:
People here want bootloader unlocked only because to unleash x10's potential and to get camera working...

As SE said, that they are going to unleash x10's potential,

*I think they will have fps cap removed(most probably)

*Will ave 4 touch points (conformed by SE brazil)

*16M color( i dont think it is necessary, atleast for me)

*A whole new features from new xperias( i like it personally)

*Giving us a fully working GB camera like our 2.1( which our devs couldn't do(no disrespect))

etc etc....

I will surely go for update even if rooting is not possible...

((And anyways our devs will find way to root it sooner or later) (is there any devices which arent rooted....:D)
[XPERIA X10 General] abrarabbu:
If its possible for Arc then it will also be possible for our X10.. need not worry, it just takes some time.

I wish I would have been a developer...

Seriously, I need some guidance and I can do what seems to be possible.
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
u expect too much from SE!

dont get ur hopes too high... cause then if SE fails to deliver those things u will be very disappointed...

and SE are well known to deliver incomplete updates (feature wise)...
[XPERIA X10 General] Hzu:
But what if the 2.3 upgrade is NOT based on Arc's 2.3 and is made fresh from the roots?

Who knows this might happen? Just by looking at sneak peek videos which looks the same as Arc's 2.3 is ridiculous, we can just install the widgets into any Xperia as we want and so does the home screen and launcher. Unless I do not notice that it's confirmed to be based on Arc's 2.3 then screw this post.
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
It's not fresh from the roots. It's basically what the devs here have done but they have access to full bootloader and all drivers. If the 2011 Xperias had 2.2 instead of 2.3 we would be getting 2.2, not 2.3.
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Exactly, I found the relevant article in Product Blog:
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I have never jumped on you for expressing an opinion. Maybe spreading fiction as facts.

All I said was in my opinion, the Flash Tool will mostly likely still work.

Why is it ok for DooMLoRD to warn us of something that has never happened, and I can't rely on historical data for my opinion?

This thread is 100% opinion, why are you attacking me? Did the spokesman thing go to your head?
[XPERIA X10 General] walidhiphop:
What's that all about.....rooting...unrooting....bootloader...unlocked....locked.....Damn.................

I just want gingerbread....think about it..why would you want to root....just for cache clearing or cpu overclocking..?????!!!!!!!!!..and we all know that snapdragon cpu's doesn't support overclocking......

and about unlocking bootloader...what's the point...we actually dont need it...."normal persons"....

I personally don't want to root or bootloader unlocked...i just want the goodies of gingerbread......
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
considering XDA is mostly a modding community... u need ROOT privileges for 95% of all modding found on this site...

normal persons are more than welcome to use STOCK roms... BUT THEN DONT COMPLAIN "oh this stock rom is so slow" / "something is not working" / "i cant install the apps of my choice" / etc...

the reason why ppl are crazy to obtain ROOT is that amount of freedom u get after u have root...

ofcourse u are entitled to ur opinion and i respect that... if u like stock ROMs u will enjoy GB update as it WILL BE A BIG JUMP from 2.1 stock rom...

and yes almost 90% of the ppl who use X10 use it on stock unrooted rom... there are just a few crazy buggers like us (here at XDA & other sites) who want to push the devices to their limits and break free!
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
But it's a fact that you can't downgrade!

And also, you yourself are making so many assumptions!

Historical data means nothing! Root was broken when the Arc was updated to 2.3.3. If we use your historical data, then technically it would have worked, but it didn't, did it?

You are speculating as much as My_Immortal is. Just because flashtool worked with 1.6 and 2.1 doesn't mean it will work in 2.3. It might work, just like how we might be able to downgrade back to 2.1 using a hack.

Now both of you please stop fighting and acting like you're innocent, both of you have attacked each other.
