[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Older Versions

THE FOLLOWING IS OLD INFO

[ Requirements ]

any working ROM with recovery [best situation is to flash stock 2.1 se rom root it and install recovery]

flashtool

FTF bundle posted below

Recovery image posted below

[ Features ]

Stock SE 2.3.3 ROM

prerooted (superuser files pre-installed, busybox pre-installed)

FreeXperia recovery (slightly buggy but will be improved later)

[ How To (Recovery Image Way)]

*FOLLOW THE STEPS PRECISELY ELSE U WILL GET STUCK*

download the ftf bundle & compressed recovery image from linnks below

extract the contents of the recovery image to a folder on desktop

u will get a folder with 4 files as shown below:

connect device to PC and mount sdcard

copy that extrated folder to /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/

so final path to folder & files should look like:

/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75/cache.img

/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75/data.img

/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75/nandroid.md5

/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75/system.img

once copying is finished unmount sdcard and disconnect cable

reboot into recovery and restore this backup

AFTER RESTORE IS DONE DO NOT REBOOT

wipe cache, data partitions

directly remove battery and wait for few minutes (since we dont have power off in recovery this is crude way to do it)

now start flashtool and connect X10 in flash mode and flash the ftf bundle provided below

after flashing is complete just restart device and enjoy prerooted X10 SE 2.3.3 GB!!!
