fully functional? works on Japanese SO-01B too?

Thank you for the time you put into this clozecall (and everyone else helping out). I do have a couple of basic questions.

Does this give a fully functional CyanogenMod 7 on the Xperia X10? Video on the camera, the GPS, etc., they all work? I see so many partial threads on what is working and which port is experimental. What you have here seems fully functional. I don't get it.

Is the Japanese version, the SO-01B, also able to run this? I have rooted my phone and it is running:

Firmware version 2.1-update1

baseband version 2.0.52

kernel version 2.6.29 SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1

build number 2.0.1.B.0.19

Docomo in Japan is not going to update past 2.1, and I have not applied the update that came out about a month or two ago fearing that it might "fix" the vulnerabilities that gave me root.

Also, will I be able to put the phone in infrastructure mode for WiFi tethering to my android tablet? My Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet is locked down tight, and it will not connect to the ad-hoc / IBSS mode my X10 gives.

Thanks again,

Greg

thanks mate that was a lot of help
[XPERIA X10 General] Scootster:
Hi, I'm having problem with my X10i (GB 2.3.3) like anybody else in the SE official forum. The phone restarted/reboot itself whenever it try to perform 'heavy' task like gps navigation using 3rd party apps, google etc. Sometimes a simple task as browsing photos will trigger the restart. My phone doesn't have those ATK or battery/ memory monitoring apps installed

I suspect these things happen due to cpu getting hotter or it could be something else which I have no ideas. Does rooting and flashing to different ROM will help eliminate this problems? Appreciate any advice. Thanx in advance
[XPERIA X10 General] clozecall:
OK sorry for the huge absence, this semester has finally finished along with all the holidy family events. :D

Remember I no longer have an X10, I haven't owned one for over a year, this tutorial was made on a friend's X10, if you have technical issues please check the correct thread to resolve the issue. Ex. Root won't complete? Try again and follow my video exactly, still doesn't work? Go to the thread that I reference! They are in the Youtube description boxes.

Ok I'm up in Canada so I'm not too familiar with AT&T's system but I read somewhere that they removed the "Unknown Sources" options for all of their phones until the Infuse 4G, and that was only released this summer, so you need to find a workaround for that, if it exists. As for firmware upgrade use PC Companion, if there is no update contact AT&T, I also read that they are horrible at doing firmware upgrades. Still having issues? Use the search function to find out, if nothing post a new thread, I'm sure there are others in the same situation with AT&T.

Use XDA search, although I don't see the point in debranding with CM7 and your welcome.

Nope, and I don't know much about it since I never tried, use XDA search.

You're going to have to ask in that same thread you referenced for help.
[XPERIA X10 General] clozecall:
Please ask within that thread or that developer.

You must be on the correct firmware, you're on Android 2.1 so use superoneclick. If you want to use the Android 2.3.3 root method then you must be on Android 2.3.3. It's explained in the videos, watch from the first one.

Well I'm heading out just now, please check this post again, I'll edit and update it as best as I can when I get back.
[XPERIA X10 General] LightRokeN:
I did what you showed in your video and it didn't work.

In part 2 i can't go to Recovery mode...It doesn't work and I did everything.

when I did it, it stuck in "Sony Ericsson"...and I did it with back key..I did what you said in the video

Info

Thanks for the video :)

but i already stucked in the flashing part, which i tried and got my phone bricked and again made it work. when i tried to install xrecovery, there 3 boxes werenot gone marked, which made me frustated. pls provide me the link for the installation of xrecovery thru PC which u had described it in the video.

Pls spray the info below for all noobs like me:

whoever wants to try it, make sure u got all your backups. and back up of your .ftf too.:cool:

Neve try Flashing more then 3 times, o/w your phone is going to get bricked:eek:, which i experienced myself, for which i was tensed :mad: too much during my phone got brick. Always get the returning path before you follow that path, which will make you safe and relaxed :)
[XPERIA X10 General] clozecall:
It looks as though the official way of upgrading isn't available where you live or your wireless phone service hasn't released it. You'll have to find an alternate way of achieving it.

The alternate method was linked in my second video, near the end of the description!:D You can check it out: here
[XPERIA X10 General] akirabog:
i dont see a link of the alternate way there
[XPERIA X10 General] dxt3r:
Thanks for this guide :)
[XPERIA X10 General] clozecall:
Please check that post again, you'll see that the part where I wrote about an alternate method for xRecovery was not directed at you, and that YouTube link wasn't either. That quote was directed at the user uglyprince. You'll have to manually find a method to update your software, or method to go straight to flashing the ROM from your current Android version. Best of luck.
[XPERIA X10 General] h3rodot18:
Hi i made first flash and root using downgrade and when i wanted to move forword to flash using upgrade like u did in part 2 video the phone hangs with sony ericsson logo and i get error i can't flash using upgrade.

What can i do now to get my phone started. Is there something to do or i have to throw my phone to garbige

?

tried and tried finally flashed again and it''s working

Now i have another issue. I copied the xRecovery-0.3_GBready in the root of the card because those 3 items wasn;t green but when I want to go to next step meaning start adb from cmd, turn on the phone and pressing the back button it doesn't open the menu just start the phone normal.

What should i do ?

What i need to know is how to make xrecovery work on the phone after copying xRecovery-0.3_GBready in the root of the card to be able to proceed to next steps ?????
[XPERIA X10 General] uglyprince:
thanks for the alternate video 1 more time :),

but i've got few more questions here, hope u don't mind to answer:D:

Q 1) the tutorial of root+upgrade+custom rom, does the whole process will work on for android v 2.3.3 ? coz' it might be mine earlier problem during which, the xrecovery 3 boxes werenot marked, was my mistake :mad: coz i was using the Android V. 2.3.3 and i neglected the terms you described in your thread.:eek:

Q 2) the video of installation xrecovery thru PC, 0:52 timing of the video shows the adb. related files which u say to download it but where ? can u please provide me the links ? if it works with AV 2.3.3. Otherwise i have to follow your other videos for which i have to downgrade my AV to 2.1 which is a very lengthy process ;)

Note: multiupload doesnot work right now:(
[XPERIA X10 General] kosibat:
big thanks..............:D:D:cool:
[XPERIA X10 General] aR_ChRiS:
You don't need adb with the X10 now, the latest flashtool has 2.3.3 root as well as the xRecovery for 2.3

it stops at the 5th rooting step :( anybody knows what i need to do? how i root the phone then?
[XPERIA X10 General] namitneil:
Just dnt fear when u r flashing or rooting the device, its necessary to see the video many times so that u knw what exactly u r doing.. If u ll go wrong upto limits then only u cn brick the device otherwise u cnt brick the device that easily.. So go on nd tweak the device to explore the limit f ur device..:)
[XPERIA X10 General] TarekNajem04:
I have same error...
[XPERIA X10 General] killerskincanoe:
ok so here's a question...

been a long while since i've used my x10. it was sitting on

firmware ver 2.1-update1

baseband 2.1.54

build # 2.1.A.0.435

tried following your video tut. which btw looks great and was super easy to follow.

having a slight snag tho. when i connect my device to pc companion it instally found an update and i followed through with that... however... nothing on my device has changed. and it did NOT update me to 2.3gb in fact... as far as i can tell.. it's the same version i had on my phone prior to running pc comp and the update....

now when i connect my device it says it's up to date.... ? confused here and not sure where to proceed...

p.s. i'm re doing my ROOT b/c i lost that when i did update.. when i get it back which shouldn't take me too long *waiting for superclick to dl now* i'm wondering if i can't just boot up into xRecovery since i know that to already be on my SD card.... what's my next logical step? update the BB? unlock the BL? ahh... having problems finding my way...

p.s.s. now i've downloaded superclick 2.3.3 and i'm stuck at waiting for device...

from what i've read so far i don't have the right drivers for the process to continue... but i have no clue where to get the correct drivers.. i've installed and updated pc companion... what other driver do i need for this to finish...? anyone?
[XPERIA X10 General] AdX9170:
hey.. i think sony hasn't released the GB update for at&t branded phones yet.. u'll have to debrand your phone first to recieve the update..

try this:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?p=8934154

or search for a newer post on debranding coz this 1 is pretty old.. should work on your 2.1 anyways..

once ur done with debranding, try updating to GB and then follow the steps in the video..

oh and also, since ur on 2.1-update1, superoneclick tool for 2.3.3 obviously won't work :D

If i helped u, plz press thank!! :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Mugsyfied:
well done, top job. flashing process clear

great vid. nice and noob/clear. a great help with flashing etc. removes the mystique
[XPERIA X10 General] killerskincanoe:
that link goes to a 404 page not found.... :/

what should i debrand too? when i connect via flashtool i have the option to rebrand in advanced.. when i choose that it auto selects x10a Generic then in the drop down i have the choice of CUST-GEL NAM1 CUST-BR NAM1 and CUST-AR NAM1 .... which should i choose? and i already tried x10a generic cust gel nam1 and when i reboot pc companion still says my phone is up to date...

do i need to try x10i branded or generic? or will that mess up my device doing that? since it's an x10a?
[XPERIA X10 General] AdX9170:
well the branded 1 won't do u any good i guess.. the idea is to debrand..

i dunno much about debranding :D u'll just have to search.. unless some1 who DOES know, sees this thread :P
[XPERIA X10 General] allison.almeida:

Xperia Rooting

I've download the Super Click and it rooted. However, when I installed the titanium backup from the Android Market, it was showing too many errors. First, once I click on the application, it says "asking for rooting right".

Then shows the Error, " Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes Busy Box, and try again."

Now I'm accurate on following the video to where the person rooted and the Superuser app displayed in my Apps screen. So after I downloaded Titanium Backup, it kept showing the same error.I tried shuttin and restarting my phone just as the video instructed. Now my other problem is that, I tried to Uninstall the titanium backup, and my phone is not letting me. WTF???? I'm getting annoyed.

Please help? Lol

Sonyboi
[XPERIA X10 General] AdX9170:
if its rooted and superuser is working, it should prompt u if u wanna allow titanium backup to access root..

are u sure it rooted successfully? try connecting the phone to pc n use flashtool. it will show u all the details.. root access, busy box version etc. as soon as it detects the phone..

also, use the flashtool to install xrecovery..

Hi,

Root your phone, and install xRecovery with flashtool (sticky in dev section) it's fast & easy.

Hi,

I tried to follow all these steps, but in the end i didnt want to instal CM7 but i tried it with CM7.2.2 and it didnt work.

How come it didnt work? Is it because of the third rule you type in after "adb shell" is linked to CM7 and not to 7.2.2?

Ty in advance

x10a is crying for cm(any)

Hello everyone, i would first like to say xda is awesome. I've been using the xda forums for about a year now (just decided to become a member recently) and wont do anything i find unless i also find it in xda :D

On that note, for 2 days I've been trying to root and throw any cm on it I can.

I finally came across http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1196421&page=1 I do have experiance with most of the tools suggested, I am proud to say I've succesfully rooted and have cm7 thru to 10 on the sg i757, sg t989d, lg optimus one, currently working on sony x10a. The sgs2 i757 (Bell) is my daily driver and has cm10 nightly.

I know I can do this but most of the links seem to be broken/dead and the latest posts I'm finding are from 2011/2012 :crying:

I tried my best to search forums and had to resort to Q&A

So my question is: Where did all the goodies go? and once pointed out I'm thinking on making a post with tutorial of current roms/roots/flashing.

Thank you ahead of time.
[XPERIA X10 General] The Wire Guy:

So I rooted and loaded the custom ROM on my Xperia X10 exactly following the instructions on the video in this thread.

It works well, except for one issue. The wifi doesn't connect automatically to my home network even when within range; one second it is connected and the next it disconnects and doesn't re-connect. I then have to go to Wireless settings and wait for it to connect, which might happen immediately or after I select Connect or at times, doesn't connect at all. Sometimes, it just goes through a Connecting-Disconnected loop. Any ideas?

I've already set the sleep policy to Never and forgotten the network and added it again.

Problem

Hey I posted this query on YouTube also but saw this thread also so I thought I'd post my problem here too.

I followed your guide properly from Part 1 but got stuck while running cmd. I got the load of text after typing "adb" and then typed "adb shell". But after copy-pasting the first line from the xda site, "rm -r /sdcard", I got a message ""rm -r /sdcard" and on the next line "rm: can't remove '/sd card': No such file or directory. The other 2 commands copy-pasted worked fine. Because of this, my installation was "aborted"﻿ (instead of install from sd card complete). Can someone help me out please?

Hi

I already have version 2.33 and when i do the rooting it stucks on the step 6 and the program stops working. do you have any other way to do it or this is the only way to do it
