Hello,

just a question, can I reinstall a stock rom (2.3.3 SE) on my X10 if the bootloader is unlock ?

thank you

after step 4(close flashtool and then press any button in the cmd window that the unlocking process starts (please close flashtool, instead the bl unlock cmd and flashtool are constantly killing and restarting adb!!)) i can't flash the upgrade it stuck on SE Logo , i tried reboot and press back key it doesn't detect as flashmode. at the flashtool it only show detected as USB Debuging mode android version kernel build number etc. and i am able to enter recovery mode which is i installed earlier. now the device and unable to boot to OS. only able to enter recovery mode. Please help or the device is dead.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] g.viegas S_Duos:
hi there

i dont know if this is the correct thread to post my problem.

i used flashtool to root, install busybox and unlock bootloader in xperia x10i

i used recoveryx apk from store to instal recovery

but when i try to reboot into recovery nothing happens. the phone starts completely normal without entering that special menu :/

i try too to flash a ferakernel with flashtool but error hapens and it fails the flash. (does it need a custom kernel to enter recovery?)

can someone provide some help? i want to flash a custom rom and i need to access the revocery for that :/

this is my device in the flashtool log:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Have you tried to flash another kernel? I don't have the device anymore by myself, but I think either the kernel bundle you're trying to flash is bad or your bootloader didn't unlock successfully

L
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] g.viegas S_Duos:
no i just tried the ferakernel

after some tries i flash the new rom in the recovey screen as normal

but now the phone is bricked...

when i try to unbrick with flashtoll it gets off flashmode and stops flashing the stock firmware

any solution for this?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Errr..., no I don't know further now. Should have a device to test that by myself. But I know I were in a similar situation as described and tried it many times until it worked anytime. Sorry

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] g.viegas S_Duos:
as you say after some tries (almost 100 :P) it works and i flashed again the stock rom but with ferakernel :P

now im trying to install again the rom in the custom cwm of ferakernel. it says intaled but nothing diferent hapens

so im still in stock 2.3.3 :/

actualization

working very fine with FeraKernel v24 GB

and with FeraLab v39 GB ROM

thks for your help :)

now i just need a new battery :P
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Majesty92:
is this method can be use on any x10i no matter what is the manufacturing date? i want to unlock my x10i bootloader that i just bought recently as a backup phone. I try to used *#*#73784238#*#* to check whether my bootloader is unlockable or not but there is no such thing as bootloader unlocked allowed:yes or no. so i just want to konw how im going to make sure it is safe to unlock my x10i bootloader? i want to check the manufacturing date but i already replaced the battery.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
The x10 was manufactured before Sony decided to provide a official unlock method. So this dialercode won't tell anything useful.

If you want to use that as a backup phone, I'd advice you to download latest flash tool and unlock the bl from there. It's much more user friendlier than this, it only forces you to do a factory reset, that's why I wrote this method of unlock for those wanted to keep the current installation.

L
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Majesty92:
i already have flashtool as i own a xperia v. and i unlocked my xperia v using flashtool. is the method is the same with x10i? so what i need to do right now just use flashtool to unlock the bootloader? how about the unlocking code?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
For that device there is no unlock code which could be used, the unlock is made through a hardware security whole :D

How exactly it works I don't know anymore, too long ago. Sorry. Experiment a bit with flashtool and I'm sure you'll find out. :good:

L
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Majesty92:
I have read somewhere that only certain x10 can be unlock based on the manufacturing date. If the manufacturing date is later, it will hardbrick the phone if we tried to unlock it. so i must be certain if i want to unlock my x10 bootloader
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bolillo:
Whatever you do do not use the sony method cause it will not work and make sure you have a sim unlocked phone, if i remember right when i had my x10 one of the requirements was that it had to be unlocked
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Majesty92:
i can use any sim with my x10, so I'm sure it is simunlock. its just that im not sure whether the bootloader unlockable or not. is there any way I can check whether it is unlockable before i decided to do unlock bootloader process?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] peterpan01:
I also want to ask is bootloader are related to simlock? Do i have to unlock bootloader if i have my phone simunlock? Sory for asking cause im still newbie.. Thanks 4 helping.. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
The bootloader unlock is possible with simlocked aswell as simunlocked phones.

If you have simunlocked a simlocked phone in the past with a unofficial way it's possible the bootloader unlock isn't possible anymore.

But you don't need to do a bootloader unlock to get the phone unlocked by your carrier.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Majesty92:
i tried to use flashtool to unlock my x10 bootloader. how do i know whether my bootloader unlock already or not? this is what I get from flashtool
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Do you see this looong line in your picture? There it says at the end of the line Bootloader status: UNROOTABLE

Any further questions? Sorry man

L
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Majesty92:
after several try I think I successfully managed to unlocked the bootloader. the only weird thing is in S1 tool only one small "r" but in flashtool both are small "r'.

before i decide to unlock bootloader for my device, I check using s1tool. Im sure that my device bootloader can be unlock. initilally in Flashtool it stated UNROOTABLE, but after several try the status change to ROOT. can anyone explain it to me? is my device unlock or not?

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kalel29:
close pc companion and other SE programs that may recognize the phone,just the flashtool and the BL unlocker.

hope you finish with this its very nice having the x10 like this

Guys before you commence the BL Unlocking process please find out who sim unlocked there phones using this .

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] scattaman:
Ok so I just made up my mind and did it the long way by doing the following:

1. Flash 2.1

2. Root

3. start bootloader unlocker tool (qsd8250_semc) and follow prompts

4. Done!

I then went back in flash tool and installed xrecovery, flashed my kernels and basebands and went back to 2.3.3!!!

Hi friends. I am realy noob and a noob question. "Kernal Downgrade" and Kernal Ungrade" or zip files. How I can make them FTF file to flash. or someone kind enough to post FTF file for both. Thank you.

EDIT: OK Doom explained one of his answers that some upload sites changed the extention from FTF to ZIP. So I renamed and its ok now.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gregbradley:
Yes, you are good to go, use the semc batch file.

You can NOT use this if it DOES say "not recognised"!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gregbradley:
Follow the link in the OP.

They are already .ftf files.

Place them in the firmware folder in flashtool and they will appear when you press flash in flashtool

Bootloop + sdcard failures

Well, I got a succesful unlocking bootloader but after having flashed the upgrade kernel I´m stuck with SE logo and a bootloop.

In Xrecovery I get mount failures when trying to recover backup or flash zip files:

E: can´t mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

(Device or resource busy)

E: Can´t mount /sdcard

Well, I´m kinda stuck there, not being able to flash in any way. Any suggestions on how to solve this 'knot'?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
Flash a 2.3.3 firmware from flashtool then reboot.

After reboot and you cleared the setup wizard (or closed it), then turn off your phone and flash the kernel for root and recovery.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 4llerbuntu:
NOOB TIME.

my phone was never locked to any network or sim.

can i just run this safely?

then do i have to go back to 2.1 just to do this?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
1st, you can do this safely. Use the semc bat

2nd, simply follow the steps on first post EXACTLY, then you don't have to reflash everything.

Regards,

L
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
If it's not locked, then you are ready to go.

There are two methods really, one is to go back to 2.1, root then unlock.

Another one is to use azuzu's kernel downgrade/upgrade to do it.

If you think you are a noob, then I'll recommend you to use the 2.1 method, as you won't be horrified when your phone gets stuck at the white SE text.

Once unlocked, flash back to 2.3, let it boot, then flash one of the rooting kernels from DooMLoRD, xRecovery is included and you can flash custom roms.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 4llerbuntu:
thanks for your answers.

i really do not want to flash a custom kernel. if i simply downgrade, unlock the bootloader, then upgrade, will that not be ok?

must i flash doom's kernel or any other one?

im thinking if all i have to do is root again, i dont mind at all
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zm4:
....I guess i'm just going to wait for a tool.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 4llerbuntu:
errm, actually i just did it without hassle.

1. used flashtool to downgrade kernel (azuzu kernel downgrade)

pulled battery, inserted it, put it on,

waited till flashtool detected it. quit flashtool, ran the batch file.

then pulled battery again, started up flashtool.

flashed Azuzu upgrade,

then flashed that doom stock kernel.

my fone is working perfectly, u cant even tell any difference in the way it works.

bootscreen changed i think, but thats all.

hopefully now folks will bring really kinky things to the table
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kinglargo:
can you add this to first post

to find out what tool was used to unlock your phone, use that ( s1tool.7z ) tool.

if you will see "NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE", you are out of luck.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
you can do this, but I would say, flash the stock kernel doom prepared, cause that kernel is built from se kernel sources but is prerooted and have recovery inbuilt, what means you aren't able to loose recovery anymore, also not if you are formatting system partition.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Meekos:
Thanks..

Thanks! I did something else than suggested but finally I was able to unlock and do a restore. Now I have the new experia logo but also SE animation. I wonder how do I get rid of the SE animation?

Thanks again for your help.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
Use any file manager with root access, then go to system/media and delete the bootanimation file (or replace with the bootanimation that you want on your phone).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
the bootanimation is located in system/media. If you want to change it, I would say search at the themes section for a bootanimation you like and then replace the existing bootanimation.zip in system/media with the one you like with an rootexplorer or maybe the bootanimation is provided for flashing via recovery...

Simply said, have a look into the themes section

bootloader unlock solution without downgrade and upgrade if you already have rooted 2.3 kernel - not a 1 click solution so only advisable for those who know their way around command line and adb:

Did you try the kernel for the unlocked bootloader?!!

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tssi:
Yes, I did.

I have fixed it through flashtool. Ask for root perms - Advanced - xrecovery - reboot into xrecovery.

in xrecovery, install dk-v04-modfxp_with_xrec.zip.

Now xrecovery work.

Thanks for the quick reply, might go this ago tonite then.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lauri455:
I can't get into xRec.

What I did to unlock bl:

1. Flash Official SE 2.1 ROM (I wanted to do a clean install for this one)

2. Unlocked BL

3. Rooted

4. Installed xRec

5. Flashed 2.3.5 CM7 GingerVillan by spaarc

6. Flashed bb .71

7. Flashed Doom's Kernel v4-FS

It couldn't get into xRec at this point, so I tried Doom's kernel v4b, which does not work either. Rebooting into recovery from flash tool does nothing (the ROM boots as normal). What's more, 0.3 xRec GB Ready is recovery flashable zip only...

What do.

Edit: it seems like D's Kernels built-in xRec doesn't work for many people, so what I did to make it work was install xRec from GB-Ready Flash Tool.
