I figured it out!!

Well i finally managed to get it to work. i was able to successfully downgrade to the stock ROM. i got help from the some nice fellows at #G2ROOT. they lead me to a link here http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/attachment/wiki/pierre_ja/flashgc_instructions

whch help to make a goldcard without using a hex editor.

i must say i had some troubles following this guide.. things didnt run entirely smoothly..

overall what i gathered to be the "RIGHT" way to create a goldcard using any of the methods in the different guides, (ie: with or without hexeditor)

1. make sure your are using the mmc2 in getting the CID coz it differs among the guides

2. when you are getting the reverse CID, and sending it to this site http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard, ignore those instructions taht tell you to replace the first 2digits of your reversed CID to zeros. just paste ur reversed CID numbers AS IS intact.
[General Questions and Answers] ajhavery:
You are facing this problem because you have your device S-ON, the best way to resolve it without going into complication is that downgrade with a rom which is of same origin as your original stock rom.

What I want to say is that if your stock rom is WWE then downgrade it with a WWE rom, however if your rom is ASIA then try downgrading with ASIA rom.

If you are not sure which stock rom you have, try one which is meant for the place from where you bought your phone.

Let me know if you face any further complication.

After you downgrade, for video tutorial on rooting and other info about custom roms, visit this page :

I have a cracked and scuffed touchscreen on my x10 and for $30 on ebay I was going to replace the screen. My concern is that I can get ones from China for half the price of the USA and some say 'Grade A no bubbles' but others do not, are these quality screens from China or will I be diasspointed?

Has anyone had a bad experience replacing their touch screen with the Chinese products? They say OEM but are they from Sony or are they knock offs and is there build quality concerns using the cheap ones?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy1weir@hotmail.co.uk:
in my opinoin when it comes to electronics , especially from china, you get what you pay for, id rather pay a little extra knowing that it will be ok
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pawnty:
Agreed. With china there's a 99% chance that what you are buying is not OEM. Likely it's very cheaply made.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HumpinJack:
Yeah I hear ya... that is probably exactly what I would had replied to this post if someone else asked the same question.

I was really hoping someone would tell me that they bought a screen from XXXXX on ebay and it was better then the original but I guess I need to decide if I want cheap or quality.

I've already replaced the phone with an HTC EVO 3D but there is alot of life left in this X10 and it is a great platform for hacking and learning android. Plus they make awesome tiny tablets for around the house.

Thanks for the input.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_orbz:
I got white replacement from china which is quite good.. I won't say its authentic, but here in the UK most replacement dealers get there stuff from china anyway.

Buying from China is like cutting out the middle-man, the down side is just you need to wait.. And if you think they are not what you think your money's worth, you could always tell them you did not receive the item and get your refund. ;)

Globalshining

Maybe i'm the lucky one, bought one from globalshining on ebay for 20 Euro and thought: well if this aint gonna work, it;s 20 euro's thrown away. But here in my town (germany) they ask 80 Euro for it. After 8 days!!! I received the piece: fitted perfectly but it was at least one hour work to get the overly scratched old one of and the new one on. I did search google for disassembling instructions for the X10 and found one with lots of photo's. Without these instructions, you easily brick your phone.

Regarding GlobalShing: its on ebay, or eshoptradehk dot com I first checked the ebay ratings: then decided to do so..

But do get your own screwdrivers cause the one from China dont fit at all....

i just cracked the front screen on my fone and i need to replace it. would like to replace the whole screen and case.

i googled a few, but i was not sure if they included the front screen cos its the front screen thats cracked.

then i also learnt that the touch module is glued to the front glass screen, will the new case screen also have one attached to it or would i have to remove this one and stick it to the new one?

Hi, I cracked my digitiser VERY badly, so I was forced to replace the digitiser... The LED was slightly scratched because of the drop, but I don't mind, it's hardly noticable. I took the phone apart like 3 times:

1 - taking it apart

2 - power button i forgot to put back

3 - had a little of $h!t under the digitiser :D

I swapped my digitiser, and so did XDA Recognised Developer for the x10 pvyparts and none of our phones were bricked, it worked perfectly after... Took about 20min to do, I did it during school break because I was bored...

I've noticed, that once you flash a rom. It loads folders onto your sd root folder. which are usually

battery history

rosie_scroll

.android_secure

LOST.DIR

media

etc..

*************

I flashed billions of roms over and over, but after my most recent attempt to flash a new rom. it says load complete. but nothing is loaded onto the sd card. (i mean nothing)

I've wiped, re wiped, super wiped, partitioned, formatted sd everything. still, the roms load jack onto my sd card.

1). Is my phone hopeless?

2). Should i just turn s-on back on and turn it in? Or it there a trick around this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrDr3z85:
Did you try using a different recovery? Not sure which one you are using at the moment. Amon ra, CWM or TeamWin not sure if it will sole your trouble but its worth to try. Did you try flashing an AOSP? Or Sense? is this happening with both types?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redm1st:
I flashed a sense rom, only flash sense roms.. Ive first noticed my phone not booting up after i flashed "r3charged_FINAL" rom. I didnt pay it to much attention. So then i flashed "kings bliss beta3" it worked fine, flashed "r3charged" again, and the same crap.

Flashed "Noctunral rom" it worked, phone died, later on got home, partitioned my sd. format all, wiped, super wiped, flashed those custom flashes "FR_Boot/Recovery_CustomMTD" the rom "r3charged"

Still nothing loading on the card, I checked, i even let it reboot in hopes it might load, but nope.

And yes, I went through all three recoveries in hopes of that might make a difference.

Check Rom Manager in Market ;)

You can download ROMs and save em to SD Card

Install ClockWorkMod Recovery

And Flash ROMs from SD Card
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
no... just.. no.. please don't give false advice and false hope.

Are you sure you're entering your serial number correctly on the revo site? Just to make sure, take out your battery and type in the number labelled S/N:

when you've done that, copy the number given to you on the site, and when you're in cmd paste it (on the top left corner press the cmd icon, edit, paste) when you're running the revo program
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flunkyou2:
yeah it was me putting the wrong code in (Face Palm)

Ok iv done that how do i revert back to 2.2 from here ? (still stuck on 2.3.3)

Bortak you got Thanks ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
1. Download the downgrader

(CHECK MD5!! 6c482ccfa6b7093de4ee1a5804ccbdfc) and put it in your c:\

2. Download attachment names "fastboot.zip", and unzip it into your c:\

3. Reboot into fastboot mode (power off, hold back & power), open cmd (start menu, accessories) and type

cd\
fastboot flash hboot bravo_downgrade.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

4. Once you have flashed that. Run the latest WWE RUU

You will now have the stock android 2.2, however, I personally would recommend using custom ROMs with a rooted phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flunkyou2:
ok im lost :( im really sorry....

Is there another simpler tutorial?

Sorry im a big noob lol

i get this error..... fastboot failed to start because AdbWinApi.dll was not found?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
oooohhhhh...

okay well lets try to use this application then.

Download it from that site ^

boot into fastboot mode and plug in via usb

tick "hboot" and browse for the "downgrader" you put in your c:\ and then press begin.

Once you've done that, use the volume keys on your phone to navigate to REBOOT BOOTLOADER and press power

then, run the latest WWE RUU (link in previous post)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flunkyou2:
i didnt have to reboot it... it did itself is that ok ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
yes that's fine, I don't know android flasher that well cos I personally don't use it.

So now, when you go into bootlaoder, it should say REVOLUTIONARY UNLOCK.

you should now be able to flash the 2.2 RUU
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flunkyou2:
it says AlphaRev Unlock
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
yeah, my mistake ;)

so yeah, now all you have to do is flash the 2.2 RUU from fastboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flunkyou2:
how is that done as i keep getting a error saying Bootloader version error [140]

:S
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flunkyou2:
i swear im going to be crying in a min lol I have lost S-OFF and now its S-ON and also the HBOOt is 0.93.0001
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
so wait.. what exactly is the situation?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flunkyou2:
i tried to 2.2 in fastboot it never worked it rebooted.... so i tryed flashing through windows (never worked) and now i lost the AlphaRev Unlock writing in Fast boot and S-ON is back.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
but does it boot into android?????
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flunkyou2:
yeah 2.3.3
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
oh ok thank god you scared the sh*t out of me... ummm... okay well if that didn't work then I dunno what to do... I'd just recommend a custom ROM.. you'd have to S-OFF, and then flash it through recovery.. that's my best advice.

Nice work man,

Haven't tested extensively, but in the 10 mins or so I've been playing with this ROM on my wife's phone, it's been just as GV is on my Desire - fast, smooth and pleasant to use.

The only bug to report is quiet audio recording using the videocamera but this seems to be present in all X10 ROMs ATM (WB/Ultima/TEAM/Superoxygen/Ewjet), so is certainly not a criticism of this ROM - if that could be fixed though, then this ROM would be perfect (hint hint!!)

A great release, thank you for this :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bharadwaj1991:
- Works on either locked/unlocked bootloader

Yeah, i have a locked bootloader...so that made me happy.

I loved spaarc original one, and so if this is that with fixes and what not....I will definatley love this one. Only problem so far...is on DoomKernel battery seems to be draining rather fast...will reboot wipe stuff and edit post with update.

EDIT: after reboot and wiping ...seems good again. If not will use default one...cuz rom is fast enough with or without custom kernel.

Whenever battery percentage changes whole notification bar flickers. This is of course with cyanogenmod statusbar tweaks battery percentage shown.

Phone gets hot when doing things like browsing and playing games. Battery was usually cool with spaarc original cm7 barebones version.

What happened to your Leaf ROM? Or is that ROM is the one you wanted to release?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] azrull:
Hey, post some screenshot lah !
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] doomed151:
1. No, it doesn't.

2. No, it's not possible so far.

3. Not much. Shouldn't be any problems since this ROM is smaller than most ROMs out there.

1. Does this notification bar flickering happen in the original GV ROM?

2. I don't get that problem myself, so I can't check.

3. Same as above

4. If I find something I can fix, I will update it.

It is originally for the Wildfire (Leaf r3) but since I switched to the X10, I thought I'd make one. So yes, that's the ROM I wanted to release.

Oh, and, stuff will go slow since I've got my final exam trials going on.

Also, if you guys use DooMKernel, battery will drain fast since deep sleep is not working in the current version.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] daashali:
What do you mean DooMKernel has drainage? You mean unlocked devices would have battery drainage?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] doomed151:
Unlocked bootloaders and running a custom kernel are two different things.

Unlocking the bootloader itself won't do anything. It's caused by the custom kernel you were able to install due to the unlocked bootloader.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bharadwaj1991:
I have no idea if original gv rom does the flickering unless you are talking about the first one by spaarc, and then the answer is no. Not that I remember. Also seems as if battery drains fast the first 5%....I'm on doomkernel so u can ignore that. Could add torch cuz if I flash it all it does is force close everytime.

Edit: just after posting this comment got wlod. Happened on spaarcs original one as well, same situation.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wildcardspv:
RE the torch,

If you get the torch.apk and add it to the ROM zip (system\app), then reflash the ROM, the torch works fine, even from the widget button in the notification bar.

RE the battery/WLOD,

Using stock kernel the battery life is really good and no WLOD or even force closes. The ROM runs really smooth :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bharadwaj1991:
I will hit thanks when at PC. So far so good with your instructions.

Edit. When playing music it stutters sometimes.....annoying. flashed audio fix...better now.

Battery drain on stock seems alright...will give it a couple of days. No wlod so far.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bharadwaj1991:
Thought I would make this a new post, to bump this ROM/thread up.

EDIT 2: Okay battery life is now back to being wonderful. On stock kernel. Still quite fast. Audio stuttering can be SORTA fixed with audio lag fix zip by Z. No WLOD so far, probably had WLOD due to being on DoomKernel (never overclocked it though).

-Maybe add torch to ROM, I added it to the ROM zip like wildcardspv said to do...and it works.

-WiFi pain in the butt. Will NOT reconnect to WiFi after disconnected while in deep sleep. I have to manually go in and reconnect.

-Possibly add some extra governors...such as SmartASS v2, InteractiveX.

-Notification bar flickers when battery percentage changes.

-Any use of a live wallpaper slows down ROM alot.

Tried to think of other things. But to be honest...can't. This ROM is actually one of the best ones out there. WiFi is my only BIG gripe...but apart from that kinda perfect.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wildcardspv:
For the wifi issue, have you set wifi sleep policy to never? (Settings, wireless and networks, wifi settings, menu, advanced, wifi sleep policy, never) - had my wifes set like this and no wifi problem.

She also had the audio stutter and unfortunately its for that reason she's had to come away from this rom for now and gone back to spaarc's superoxygen 2.0.3 which is almost identical but haven't experienced any problems with it at all (using stock kernel).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] spaarc:
Both the ROM s are made by me ,

So it is but natural that both are identical :P

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wildcardspv:

Also tried gingerscape yesterday which seemed pretty cool, just missed the widget buttons in the notification bar...
