[XPERIA X10 General] XDroidie626:
Ok people a slight helpful guide here, may have already been created but its here regardless :)

This will also be posted in Q&A under answers just to help people out :)

So in the Q&A forum i have seen a lot of the same question, my X10 is stuck at boot, which yeah happens but it seems to be for the same reason due to kernel or mod damage so what can you do?

i will also answer from experience on other questions :)

No1. READ the requirements...

These are the requirements for the ROM i use (DiXperia7 Avenger from DikeJ), (They generally follow same lines but dont suspect they do.)

OS - Android 2.3 or 2.1 (from upgrade from 2.1 to 2.3 wipe will be needed)

Permissions - Root Access, Busy Box, Xrecovery (Kernels for Stock roms not CM series)

Optional - Unlocked bootloader running DoomKernel v6 or above. Seeing as this seems to be final edition from the great doomlord we shal settle there.

So as you can see some simple requirements laid out nicely, bootloops and boot freezes can normally relate to Kernels installed, if theres a problem it wont install or freeze anyways but normally a ROM freeze is picked up before its released.

On locked bootloaders you wont have this problem as long as the ROM supports this. The dev will normally tell you what you need if not ask.

No2. ASK!

of course i am trying to help less skilled people, like me, avoid bootloops and crashes. so always as on the dev forum and wait for a reply, chances are its been tested but if your unsure dont do it until you know 100% and a dev or someone with experience has tested personally.

No3. Make sure your using the correct recovery.

It works like this.

Stock ROM - Xrecovery (DoomKernel ThKernel)

Cyanogenmod series - Clockwork Recovery mod (In FXP Kernels)

MIUI Series - Can be both but seems mainly Clockwork

championswimmer has done a custom version of both CWM and Stock - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1564056 credits go to champ.

So enough about Kernels and blah blah xD lets move onto Wifi Troubles

Wifi runs using the Kernel, Unlocked bootloaders need a patch to run Wifi unless its FXP based.

These files are generally found with the kernel on the forums. Known as wifi modules.

You can flash these patches before 1st boot but its not recommended. needs to be reinstalled every time you flash a rom as there wiped out..

(Please make sure the wifi patch is correct to the kernel as a wrong one will not fix wifi errors)

Random Reboots while phone is on.

Ok i dont know highly on this subject but i do remember reading a little about them..

Random reboots can be caused due to hardware failure, normally motherboard crashes, just restart the phone by removing battery normally works.

Another factor of this is a mod that has been installed. If the mod is not designed for your phone it will normally cause a bootloop at kernel but if it gets pasted this could be a cause of your problems.

SuperUser detection not working :S?

I had this problem, SU was stopping my root programs getting there access, but sometimes the app isnt at fault, its your actual root, simply rerooting fixes this :).

Ok people i hope this helps :) just to help new users out on problems, although as always i wont be held responsible for any damages.

Thanks to..
