[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
There is no need to downrade the kernel.

1. download and install pccompanion

2. If you ar enot already on stock rom with stock kernel, then use pccompanion to repair back to stock. (If you are on a custom rom and stock kernel, ten that is ok as well.)

3. Download and install latest flashtool (V0.5.3.0)

4. Goto driver folder in flashtool folder and run ggsetup.exe

5.Atach phone to Computer and run flashtool, wait for computer to see the phone.

6. press the padlock icon to root it, follow instructions.

7. press plugins/unlock/run, follow instructions

8. flash the unlocked kernel of your choice in flashtool,

9. flash the unlocked romof your choice in xrecovery

10. flash any required wifi modules if you need them.

any problems, just PM me.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamode:
Can you please elaborate these:

8. flash the unlocked kernel of your choice in flashtool,

Where to get the kernel? What choices do i have? How do i select one?

9. flash the unlocked romof your choice in xrecovery

Same questions as for the kernel, How to flash using xrecovery?

10. flash any required wifi modules if you need them.

Whats a wifi module and why would i need one and where to get it from?

I do have a problem.. phone is already rooted via super one click i have got the phone identified through flashtool and i have also installed ggsetup.exe but i still cannot get the drop box in plug ins to initiate to unlock the BL...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Follow the [wifi issues and ulbl] link in my signature, this will put you on latest wolf rom and latest doomkernel.

The links are all in there. Get latest wolf rom from his thread (V7b6)

If oyu want another rom follow the instructions from that OP.

But basically you need to do this.

1. unlock bootloader (Steps 1-7 in my previous post) Check to see if its unlocked by trying to unlock it again...(What did it say last time when you finished trying to unlock)

2. download doomkernel and wifi modules from the doomkernel for unlocked bootloader thread.

3. Flash the kernel in flashtool. (run flashtool, click on the lightening icon, navigate to where you saved the kernel, click ok, and follow instructions)

4. Reboot in xrecovery and flash the rom

5. reboot into cmw5 and flash the wifi modules (Instead of pressing back button, press the menu button, cmw5 recovery is just another recovery)

reboot, enjoy.

run s1tool.exe.

if you see a capital R then its locked

if you see a lower case r then its unlocked.

Just try flashing the doomkernel to see if its already unlocked
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamode:
Says phone already unlocked. However im still getting the SE logo at the start when i boot up phone.. Is that normal?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Thats because you havent flashed a new kernel yet....

get doomlords v06 kenel from the unlocked bootloader thread and flash it in flashtool
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agera:
Stupid question, but once I have s1tool opened and identified x10 does that window need to stay open inorder to use the flashtool?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamode:
Installed the kernel. Now i have to flash wifi modules? What are these and what will they do ?

No

They are modules that allow you to use wifi. They are different ones needed for each kernel.

Just flash them in cmw recovery

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaa:
Just wondering what will happen if a rom is flashed into a phone which has an incompatible baseband, kernel and/or OS version?

For example, my phone currently is using a kj4 baseband, and kj6 kernel and running android 2.3.5.

If I flashed a rom which is based on a kka baseband and kernel and android 2.3.6, what will happen?

Will the phone be bricked? Or will it still function but with weird results?

And is it advisable to upgrade my OS to 2.3.6 if I'm flashing to a rom based on that version, or can I just stay at 2.3.5?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jit1108:
It is advisable to upgrade with Kies, do not use odin.

If you have confidence then only use odin, safe is Kies.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jodeltje:
you can flash the 2.3.6 ROM. Backup your data, clear your dalvik cache and factory reset, then flash the ROM in CWM recovery... restore your data.... and voilà!

Do you have CWM recovery? if no, then install a kernel from a thread in the 'android development forum', you'll find instructions in the thread.

Happy Flashing!

edit: If you have no idea what I'm talking about, say so, I'll explain the details.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snaredrumkneecaps:
Hey guys,

I dropped my X10i last night and now it wont charge or connect to my computer. Before I take it in for repair I've been searching the forums and Google to find a way to unroot it without the cable but having no luck finding an answer anywhere, if the question has been answered please link me to the relevant thread since I'll have just overlooked it. I've got an adapter that will let me copy stuff onto the microSD card in it so can use that if necessary.

If there isn't any way to do this can anyone tell me whether or not it's safe to just uninstall ROM Manager, xRecovery, Superuser, BusyBox and Titanium Backup and hope O2 or Sony don't realise it's rooted?

My phone is still running the stock Gingerbread firmware.

Edit: froze most of them using Titanium Backup and seems to be running fine so I'm guessing I'm good to uninstall them after backing up to reinstall if Sony fix it. I'm not finding anything to hide or remove Superuser from a Rooted phone. Any help with this last step would be great!

He did say that his USB port is screwed, and he's trying to get his port fixed. It's a hardware issue rather than a software issue which you Can fix with flashtool/Sony software.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snaredrumkneecaps:
Just got back from my local O2 store. For anyone with a similar issue I didn't manage to unroot it, I just deleted all the apps that gave away that it was then bought Superuser and enabled Ghost mode. O2 agreed the phone was broken and they replaced it with an Xperia Arc for free since it was within warranty no questions asked. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] avesik:
I bought an MHL (micro-USB to HDMI) cable for my GN and it works great, however the default behavior is to lock the orientation to landscape when the MHL cable is connected.

I need to record some graphics and applications from the device but I need them in portrait mode, however I cannot find any setting to make the change. If I remember correctly, the SGS II worked in portrait mode when doing HDMI-out.

Is there any way to make the GN do the same?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Not yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] avesik:
ehh... thanks. I was hoping that it's there but I just can't find the right setting. What I'm afraid of is that it is probably the intended behavior so I wouldn't expect a fix from Google. Maybe one of the modders will figure it out...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
there is mod for it in the developers section. Unlocked bootloader is required.

As long as she has the money she can get as many different contracts with as many different carriers as she wants to. But I really don't think contracts are the way to go...

[Off-topic] kryptoner:
But then does she have to pay monthly rental even after unlocking the phone from the carrier?
[Off-topic] Athavan:
Yes... Even if you unlock it and use it in india, she has to pay the contract amount every month.

Which will be equal to the actual cost of the phone. So simple way is to buy a phone in india with ur sis's money! :-)

[HTC Amaze 4G] johnk1973:
I noticed sometimes my hotmail account would not push emails to me and would sometimes take a couple of hours. I am using the latest official hotmail app.

I decided to test it against my gmail account (to make sure it wasn't an Amaze issue) so i sent 8 test emails from my Outlook work email and sent the same email to both hotmail & gmail accounts.

The results..

---------Gmail----hotmail.

Test 1... 1m57s... 1hr7m+ (gave up waiting and manually synced)

Test 2... 0m51s... 1m50s

Test 3... 0m16s... 1m35s

Test 4... 0m37s... 1hr3m+ (gave up waiting and manually synced)

Test 5... 0m20s... 1m12s

Test 6... 0m14s... 1m47s

Test 7... 0m14s... 1m11s

Test 8... 0m12s... 14m35s

I'm going to swap to my new gmail account but can't find anyway of stopping emails downloading in the middle of the night and waking me. Am i missing a sync setting or do i need to use a profile app to turn the volume down at night?
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
My experience using the hotmail app=don't use the hotmail app. It seems to suck more battery trying to sync than gmail ever has, syncs far less often, but I think it has to do with the settings(pop) you setup on hotmail. If you forward your mail it only takes about 1 minute for hotmail to send it to gmail, far better than the sync in hotmail ever did.

I forwarded all my hotmail to my gmail which has a better spam filter, uninstalled the hotmail app, and setup a sound profile that automatically lowers the volume after XXpm. You could also set it up to turn your volume up in the morning, but create a shortcut to a volume profile that turns down notification volume..

Edit: I use audio manager, and I think the free version does time profiles, but it seemed like such a solid app with good updates, I bought the app a long time ago.

It is not a rom issue, but rather an app issue. I know viber does not support ICS (Android 4.0) and will not work on it. You just have to wait for app developers to upgrade their apps to support 4.0

Hey Guys,

I've searched for the similar threads but couldn't find an answer for this question:

I'm installing CM7 on my Galaxy S2, but I want to use MyBackup Root to save everything before I install so I don't loose everything.

I've followed the guide at the CM7 SGS2 wiki and i'm upto the section where I boot into CWM and delete and then install CM7.

At this point, I booted back to backup (as I had forgotten to do it before) but I don't have root access. I've been following the guide on here, but I already have what I believe is an insecure kernel (I get the yellow triangle and the kernel version says 2.6.35.7 so on and ends in codeworkx@cyanogenmod.

My question is this: Am I able to just simply run S2 root and skip putting a new kernel on as that will then give me root access, enabling me to backup so I can continue install CM7?

Thanks for helping a newbie out =)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Marcb:
Hello guys!

I have a Neo V from Brasil and it's full of bloatware from TIM provider...

I want to flash the latest retail firmware available not only to get rid of this bloatware but to be up-to-date with the most recent firmware...

Which firmware should I use? It doesn't have to be from Brasil, but it would be nice if it had Portuguese-BR as an available language.

I've never had a Sony E. smarthpone, only Samsung's, but I believe the process of flashing is the same, regarding the different flashing apps, right? Samsung uses "Odin" and SE uses "Flashtool" ?

Thank you!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
Yep, use Flashtool. I believe all versions support every language. Every firmware had it's own bloatware, I bought mine off contract, and it also had apps like Xperia hotshots, UEFA and SE 999 facebooks apps on it. Maybe you could also just delete the bloatware manually.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] armando101:
I think xperia hot shots and all that stuff come's with all firmwares (region), but you can uninstall them like normal apps...

I did, but I only did it to make sure I could. lol. Basically if you flash to EL13 and you don't like it, flash back to EG30 and then flash to EK02. I did this all in CWM/Rogue Recovery. No need for odin.
