[XPERIA X10 General] irl_x10_user:
Hi all,

I'm trying to install either CM7.2.0/CM9 (FXP 111) on my Xperia X10i. I've done the following steps (note i've also tried the Azuzu downgrade/upgrade method and same thing happens).

1. Repair phone in SE Update Service:

13/047/2012 10:47:06 - INFO - Connected device : X10

13/047/2012 10:47:06 - INFO - Installed version of busybox : N/A

13/047/2012 10:47:06 - INFO - Android version : 2.3.3 / kernel version : 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537

So flashtool sees it as 2.3.3 with above kernel and .71 baseband

2. Using Flashtool, i then root and unlock bl (some lines removed):

4. Phone restarts, and i get FreeXperia logo - all good ;-) also:

5. On restart, i go to flashtool and install CWM5:

13/018/2012 11:18:19 - INFO - Recovery successfully installed

6. Restart phone, and go into CWM. I do:

wipe data/factory reset (all ok)

wipe cache partition (all ok)

wipe dalvik cache (all ok)

7. Now to install (update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-es209ra-KANG-signed.zip):

I choose zip from sdcard - after selecting, i see:

Finding update packed:

Opening update package:

Installing Update:

.... And then it just hangs - nothing happens with the progress bar or there is no output (i've done this successfully before so i expect a progress bar/various text of installing packages)

Around 1 minute later, the progress bar instally shows and completes, and it says "Install from SD card complete"

I then restart phone and get stuck at FreeXperia logo..and can't get into CWM again.

I'm sure i'm doing something stupid but i've honestly tried varying steps. Any help greatly appreciated!

Hmm, this is strange. It worked that time...and i did nothing different.

This is eh..embarassing. Is there a reason why cm9 wouldn't work yet cm 7.2 did?
