bootloader cannot be officially unlocked

I would like to add a custom rom to my old x10 phone but the bootloader cannot be officially unlocked (see flashtool log below). Is it still possible to add a custom rom to it? I've read that some roms don't need the bootloader, which is a good one?

Thank in advance you for the help.

Your X10 already has an unlocked bootloader.

There was never an official unlock method for the X10.

As for a good custom ROM, just go to the development section and start flashing away.

helppppppppppp

I was given an x10i some time ago, and I decided to unlock the bootloader using the x10 bootloader unlock. I ran the tool but the exploit failed. So I ran the tool again. Phone went off and since hasn't come on. Dosent charge, only boots into flash mode . The only way a pc can see it is by booting into flash mode. I have used both Sony pc companion and flashtool latest versions but to no avail. The FlashTool detects the phone in flash mode but always gives me the verification failed error even if no final verification is checked in FlashTool while Sony pc companion leaves me with the no update available for ur phone after going through the whole repair process. I have downloaded more than 10 firmwares including 2.1, 2.3.3 and 1.6 versions. Please help

how to install feralab - rom & kernel

Hello all,

i have X10i with stock rom 2.1.0.435 (Xperia_X10i_2.1.A.0.435_MEDI-MA_GENERIC_1238-7218.ftf)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kloud_:
If the stock ROM was enough then the custom ones wouldn't have been there.

The custom ROMs give you a choice,

They are faster and performance wise better. Though sometime nay not be as stable as the stock and might have a few bugs like Camera not working and all.

What makes flashing worth is what you want from your ROM.

Stock may be good enough for some but for others they have their favorites as in J's CM7, Z's CM7 ZMOD or WB's ROM to name a very few customs!! :)

Try this Mate,

Gps Problem Fix - I recently had the same issues with the gps giving me the location of cell towers instead of actual location. After looking around the forums, i found the fix and it worked.

Clear you maps cache by going into your application data.

Settings : Applications : Manage Applications : Maps : then push "clear data"

Make sure both your wireless and gps are turned ON

Turn off Phone

Take it outside somewhere that is clear of obstructions (like a large parking lot, or field)

Turn on phone

Once on, press maps

Let it sit in one spot for about 5-10 min, then press my location.

It should find you in just a few seconds. Mine took about 30 seconds.

This should fix most problems you are having.

I think when you have gps turned off it gives your location to the nearest communication tower you are receiving your signal from, i have just tried mine and now i am in the next town. The other thing too is if you are using fancy widget in the weather settings, make sure weather provider is set to google weather as it is more accurate in the UK.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colossus:
Funny that bro, watch out for them artic's.:D

As for your question i think it's a hard one as your location depends on your where your towers are when not using gps, if you need to tweak anything it will have to be to your data connection, i think as your service provider shares networks maybe this could be the issue with your phone.

Like i say my phone does exactly the same with gps turned off, i have searched but can not find anything that could help, sorry.;)

I have a question... is there any way to reboot/shutdown to phone not using the touchscreen?

I ask because I'm still running a custom rom that uses 2.2 with a hacked camera/gallery app. And it is the only thing buggy about my current rom. However, there has been a few times where it crashes the touchscreen only. It's annoying because I can bring up the shutdown/reboot menu, but can't do anything. If the phone locks, I can't do anything. I have to do a battery pull.

Is there an easy way to implement something? For example one of these options (not the 3rd please):

- A 10sec+ push of the power button automatically begins a shutdown.

- Volume keys move the selection on the shutdown menu and camera selects.

- Spiking the phone hard onto the ground performs a shutdown :).

I think it would be a big plus for this to be implemented into a custom rom before google thinks of it (or maybe it is already present in gingerbread). I will be upgrading my rom to a gingerbased rom in a week, so I'll find out the answer to the last sentence soon.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gingerbread Man:
No only pull battery

OR

try doomlords and mr hassles reboot options from the market called x charge. You need root and its very reasonably priced.

Although

Thinking about it your phone looks up because its trying to load all your media from this app and the media scan is quite a CPU intensive task. I'd just update your rom as gingerbread is a much better OS, faster smoother and more efficient in every way.

Your idea about using volume keys on reboot options sound good, your have to speak to a dev about that.

For undervolting u can use Incredicontrol app from market. Its free. For overclocking you can use SetCPU or NoFrills CPU, also available free of cost in market.

Set the Max and min freq to same value.

Set governer to Performance

Set the voltage as wish and set the values in place.

Check the linpack/quadrant scores 3-5 times.

Repeat for each frequency/voltage :)
