Sorry for the late reply , I just see those post.

I haven't a x10 anymore. I have a arc S now.

So i don't read all the post on the x10 tread. I can't help anymore with the most question . But I have a idea. Just copy past my first post (or edit to your liking) and open a new tread. That person must be someone that actually can help.

Then this tread can be locked.

It was my pleasure if I have helped somebody.

I was on stock Android version : 2.3.3 / kernel version : 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537.

I used flashtool 0.6.8.0 to 1click root by zergrush method then installed cwm recovery. Followed by flashtool/ plugins/ unlock bootloader and once again checked as to check whether i succeeded.

This was the log

then i followed the steps 1 by 1 to install CM 7.2 FX106

but on reboot phone doesnot go beyond Free Xperia logo. I can go to recovery mode but again on start phone doesnot go beyond Free xperia logo.

Have I made any step wrong way? Please help. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] _sPARK:
Problem solved. Problem was with the corrupt memory card. Formatted the card and then installed cm7.2 via recovery. Now running on cm 7.2 Fx 106 :)

And those still have problem with unlocking the bootloader use latest flash tool to unlock its easy and fast way.

is there any way to install CM7 or 9 on a x10a without having to use the x10i kernel? Can't find any info on this..

They are the same thing, except that X10a is sold for the American region, while X10i is for any other regions.
[XPERIA X10 General] ashwalk:
Well, I read in a post by doomsday that the different hardwares vary on phone signal frequencies... That may be why I always had problems when making calls...
[XPERIA X10 General] SysGhost:
Pacman won't startup as it should. FXP112 and FXP113

I had to reflash my device recently due to some odd behaviour about the battery (Three quick red flashes, then nothing, even when fully charged. But that is solved now. This is about a completely different problem)

I did reflash it with the latest stock ROM via Sony Ericsson Update service and its repair option. It was successful.

Then I went on to try the FXP112 ROM and FXP113 (Which currently has the weird sensor behaviour, thus I reverted back to FXP112).

My latest problem is now, when I've reflashed the phone according to instructions, the pacman that are supposed to be launched after the first boot, won't show up.

So I've tried forcing it to pop up with the following command via adb shell:

# am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.teamdouche.pacman/.DownloadActivity

It shows up and gives me the option to choose what I want to install. But soon it'll crash (Force Close) on me.

Now I have to find a way to install the latest market app and install all the desired apps manually.

I just wanted to report this behaviour in, as I've tried to fix it various ways now to no avail.

I tried wiping cache, dalvik, factory reset, reflashing, then wiping it all over again, reflashing again. Heck I' even tried to reformat the system partition with the mkyaffs2image command manually. It always ended up with pacman never showing up after first initial boot after reflashing.

Before I venture out there trying to find the latest market package via some odd and questionable channels, is there a simple way to fix this?

Update:

I had to install the gapps zip package, found in the same thread as the FXP-files themselves. Once done I could use a downloaded market.apk to force update the market to the latest version.

Latest Market app can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1549707
[XPERIA X10 General] shmauk:
EDIT: Whilst it would still be good to know the solution to why what I download sounds different, my problem has been fixed by wiping cahces, factory reset etc.

When I download update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-es209ra-KANG-signed.zip and unzip it I am not given the same folders as the instructions seem to say. I get a folder 'Meta Inf', a folder 'system' and a file kernel.sln. What am I doing wrongly?

Also, I have currently flashed DoomKernel and installed cyangoen mod over the top (by placing the whole update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-es209ra-KANG-signed.zip folder on SD and installing that in recovery mode) which obviously doesn't work as it keeps freezing at cyanogen mod loading screen. How can I revert back to the normal ROM in the mean time whilst I try and figure out my problems with cyanogn.

Thanks,

Hello,

I have a strange problem.

I have three xperia x10i at home and all have baseband .71, FXP Kernel and FXP116 CM7.2 ROM but just one of them gets a service all other say no service.

I controlled everything but I found no difference, they are even build in the same week.

Does anybody has an idea?

---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------

OK I got it figured out for everyone else who's having problems here's a new guide for flashing the right kernel.

make a folder on your desktop name it ftf

extract the kernel.sin file there

in flashtool click advanced bundle creation

fill out the device version and branding fields - for me they were x10, 2.3.3, SE,

click the button to choose your source folder - the folder you made earlier

use the arrow to move kernel.sin to firmware content

click ok

be sure to choose the unlocked loader when it prompts

there is now new firmware in the flashtool/firmwares folder named 2.3.3 se or whatnot flash it and you flash the kernel

The same process worked for cm9

Make sure you wipe /data and /cache and propbably dalvik cache too

And if you really want to be lazy I've uploaded mine here for you:

http://www.mediafire.com/?6i9isnit5gxzx5d

cm7 version only

just hit the thanks button :P

Can you elaborate a bit on "have you unlocked your bootloader"?

1. How can I know if already done? I think I did as I have xrecovery installed and my phone is rooted. Is there anything else to do and,

=> I'll try to answer my question: "Unlocking the bootloader" is equivalent to what we call "root the phone":

2. If it appears I didn't yet do it, can you send me a link to a step by step tutorial to do this?

So yes, I can confirm I did it. Also my phone appears as rooted in several apps and shows superuser which is [as per my understanding], a way to confirm it's rooted.

Thank you so much for the detailed guide! So easy in fact!

Now one last question, should I install CM7 or CM9 on the phone?

I'll give it a try with CM7 immediately, but if CM9 is stable, I wouldn't mind re-flashing in a couple of minutes! Keep me posted :)
[XPERIA X10 General] laneyofdeath:
Cm9 has few problems 7 is much more stable. Although it should.b Ok as daily driver. Only has 5mp camera (hack by zdzihu) if IM not mistaken.
[XPERIA X10 General] tourist.leo:
OOOpsy!

Thanks Laneyofdeath!

I finally managed to get CM7 on the device!!

Problem: it doesn't boot and freezes on bootscreen (the one with the skateboard).

How did I do it?

I downloaded

FXP130-cm-7-20120716-UNOFFICIAL-es209ra-KERNEL.7z

and extracted it on my hard drive. I ran FlashTool.exe and it flashed the kernel on the device (not sure if anything else than "kernel" which BTW is an obscure word for me)

Then I downloaded (and copied on SD card)

FXP130-cm-7-20120716-UNOFFICIAL-es209ra.zip

Then I ran from xrecovery this last package and it installed successfully.

Reboot from xrecovery

-> Stuck on CM7 bootloader...

Any idea what I did wrong?

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

OK guys, it's time for my mea culpa now as this was totally MY fault!

I wiped the cache, but I didn't read:

Here you do:

1) wipe data/factory reset

2)wipe cauche partition

3)advanced ====> wipe Dalvik Cache

Once this was done, it boot without fault. Sorry again for my noob questions, but you can surely guess how happy I am now!

A big THANKS to XDA, the devs, but also the users that helped me in the forums: GUYS, U ROCK!

Best!

[Guide]Oops, I flash something in Odin on "Phone" instead of "PDA"[ACS]EG30 AVAILABLE

DISCLAIMER

This is a guide for people who want to fix a mistake they made and NOT for people who want to experiment with their modems. Therefore, I am not responsible for any damage you do to your phone using this guide or these files.
​

Hello ladies and gents, AbsolutZeroGI here.

So, you've flashed something in Odin on "Phone" instead of "PDA". It happens to everyone. By that I mean I've done it enough times to cover everyone who didn't.

Thankfully it's an easy fix.

Before we begin, I'd like to thank Hacre for obtaining and uploading the stock modem.bin file. Also, thanks to the guy who pulled it to begin with (when I can remember his name, it will go here). I've tested this method personally (on purpose AND by accident), and I know that it works.

First, what happens when you flash something over "Phone" when you shouldn't? Well, it attempts to replace the modem.bin file with whatever it was you were trying to flash. If you unplug the phone and pull the battery, your phone will actually reboot. The worst consequence of this action is that your data will be DEAD. No signal, no data, no wifi. This is not nearly as big of a deal as it sounds. So take a deep breathe and ask yourself: what is the solution?

The solution is, of course, to flash the modem.bin file back to where it belongs. Here we go!

Okay, if you've flashed something on "Phone" instead of "PDA", you'll notice that Odin never finishes out and the phone never automatically reboots (like it usually does when you flash on Odin). This is normal and nothing to be alarmed about.

First thing is first, you need a modem.bin file. You can find one here: ACS Forums

**update** I now have ALL modems over at the ACS Forums (EG12, EG30, EG31 and EK02). So you can pick and choose which one you want :)

Next, pull the battery and unplug your phone (if you haven't done so already).

Then, you're going to put your battery back in and hit vol-down + power to get back into Download (Odin) Mode. Press up for yes when it prompts you.

Now open up Odin and plug your phone back in. It should connect just as it always does and be prepared to flash. If you don't know what I mean by that, check out the tutorial on using Odin here: [url="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1274337]Odin Tutorial[/url]

Finally, you're going to click where it says "Phone", navigate to the modem.bin file you downloaded and select it. Make sure nothing besides reboot (it may be called auto-reboot) is checked in the boxes on the left hand side. No seriously, double check again please.

Hit start to flash it. Your phone will flash and reboot and be all fixed and you can continue with what you were doing.

Remember, we all do stupid things. That's why we have Guides to fix them :)

Hit the thanks button if I helped ya!

**Update**

We now have access to all 4 modems. Click the link above to go the ACS forums, then click on the link there to get the downloads.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
Updated. Now there's download links for EG12 and EG30 over in the ACS thread for those who want a specific one :)

Enjoy!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
is one modem known to be better than the other? It's easy enough to try both, I was just wondering if it had been discussed already.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
I've heard it has (I've been busy with exams and first week of the new quarter in college), but I haven't seen it. Some people claim one gets better signal and less LOS, others claim the other does. Some claim there is no difference and there's a placebo effect.

But I thought as long as there's more than 1 I'd post it so people could choose. I only had eg12 before so now people have the full choice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
From what I've read the EG12 modem has been known to cause the phone not ringing when sleeping. I would go with EG30.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
I just noticed that there is a size difference in the bin files. The eg30 you linked is 1.25Mb. The eg12 is 16Mb. A few posts down someone linked another eg30 that is 16Mb. Are they supposed to be around 16?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
Disregard that, fixing it now. Give me like 10 minutes lol.

Yep, md5's are the same. So one file is just renamed into the other, whether they are both EG12 or EG30. So proceed with caution (as always with everything you get from XDA ;P)

This might be the first time EVER that someone has said the following words.....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
Thank you jirafabo, a shine of humor and delight in an otherwise sea of misery. If they want to they can move it lol. I've always posted my guides in the general section.

LISTEN UP LADIES AND GENTS. I realize that both are the same modem. That's a my bad. I spent 4 hours last night testing modem pulls and people either didn't do it right or had an eg12 baseband.

That being said, keep in mind that this is a guide for people to restore service to their phones if they've flashed something over phone instead of pda. this is not a guide for people to be fiddling with their modems (which you shouldn't be doing anyway) to see "which one is better". I will try to find one, but I don't consider it "imperative". The guide restores service, as promised.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
thanks for your help!

hopefully some new modems are leaked soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
UPDATE

I've had all 3 people I know with eg30 modems pull it. Even if flashed, it doesn't change the eg12 baseband.

Conclusion: if you really love your eg30 modem, don't flash anything over phone I guess.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
I will say its kind of annoying that samsung would give us such a wonderfully unlocked device and make it impossible to pull from the modem partition.

But from all the info i can find this seems to be the case.

Has anyone actually managed to pull a working modem off these devices at all?

Seems they are all just the same copy of the source built version.

If someone knows a way that actually works to pull a modem.bin please share but i believe we are stuck until an update gets released. Then hopefully we can get our grubby paws on it.

i tried

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/backup/modem.bin"

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/backup/modem.bin bs=4096"

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/backup/modem.bin bs=720896"

in all cases i get a 16mb modem.bin file that looks good but gives version unknown and n signal

If there is a workable way to do this though i would be more than happy to pull one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
The modem.bin I uploaded is fully functional. If you flash it, you get signal, data and wifi all working perfectly fine. Therefore, it is possible to pull a modem.bin, it's just not the version you want. I'm sorry if I misunderstood your post, but you make it sound like the file I uploaded is fake or doesn't work. I've used it 6 times personally and a number of people in the IRC channel have used it when having the problem I wrote this guide for. None of them are having any issues with it. So I take exception to you using the phrase 'we are stuck until a release comes out'. My modem.bin upload fixes the problem this guide set out to help, so no one is "stuck". How about trying it before you disregard it's ability to do what I claim it does (which is, basically, work).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I think his whole post is intended to refer to EG30 (even though it doesn't specifically say so) and not intended to make a statement about the modem.bin you uploaded, other than it wasn't what he was looking for.

So could someone share what technique was used to pull the EG12 modem.bin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
Remember that noobs, intermediates and experts alike come here to find help and/or discussion. People who know what's going on can read and decipher that. A noob would read that and go "no way to do it?" "stuck?" then ask questions thinking that my guide doesn't work or "isn't trustworthy". Questions I have to answer.

a few days ago, this guide had zero comments, which means that no one who used it had a problem. No one came back and said my modem.bin had any problems whatsoever.

Now I have 3 pages of people saying they HAVE to have EG30 modems because someone in the Q&A section said that it MIGHT be better in some unnoticeable way. This is the power of myth. I've never had a single issue with this modem and neither has anyone else I know. This leads me to believe the problem isn't with my modem and that all this conversation is pointless.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
How dare you come in here and claim that this is causing problems. I've had this thread up for over 3 weeks with NO COMPLAINTS AND NO PROBLEMS by anyone who used it. Myself and everyone I've personally helped with this issue have had zero problems with this modem.bin

Come back and here and PROVE IT or shut the hell up and appreciate that someone fixed this problem for you FOR FREE.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
Actually once I flashed the EG12 my phone started not receiving calls while in sleep mode. If asleep it just wouldnt ring, no missed call notification or anything. Texts were the same way, through gmail pushes came right through. Though I dont have a EG30 to flash for a potential fix so I cant say for certain that it is the EG12 bin. However, I am confident that the EG12 is the cause. Once posting the issue many people started testing to see if they may have the same issue, and some did. This is why the EG12/EG30 exploded in the past couple days.

Also this quote is directly from Konane "Modems cannot be dumped on CDMA devices."
