[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xVenator:
That was the guide I used too.

"If you aren't keeping your current device configuration (because of flashing another rom after unlocking bootloader or anything else) the simplest way to unlock is to flash stock 2.3.3 rom, root it and use the bl unlock plugin from latest flashtool"

So i took the flash thing named bl_something..

---

As it seems that was wrong, can you give me a quick tutorial, as I didn't quit understand your way. and this one mention and easy way to do it if you'r going to change ROM at once.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjornlindekens:
tutorial read beyond the big text :p http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254087

basicly it says this.

1) get the files you need

semc bat is for x10i and x10a. But only if you haven't tried any simunlocking

the bl unlock file from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1253277 - thanks to the_laser

Kernel up/downgrade for flashtool from here: - thanks to azuzu im using FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec

and a custom kernel for Unlocked bootloaders (since your unlocking it ;) )

i used doomkernels v6 for UL BL

Wifi modules for kernel if needed mine had it built in

and then the guide tells you to do this

Please make sure you have enabled usb-debugging in your current rom before starting with this!!

•flash the azuzu kernel downgrade ftf with flashtool

(i opened flashtool selected flash and then selected 'kernel downgrade' and in the other tab i skipped the 'loader' and selected 'kernel')

•disconnect usb cable, press power button until phone vibrates shortly and immidiatly connect the usb cable again (it is supposed to be stuck at SE logo)

(it asks you to do this and so i did)

1) turn off phone

2)unplug phone

3)hold back button

4)stil while holding back button plug phone in

5) flashtool takes over and you can let go :)

•start the batch file for unlocking bootloader, cause it says press any button before it starts, it won't start unlocking until you press any button

(when its done open the qsd8250 file wich you unzip(ped) and start the qsd8250_semc.cmd)

•now wait until flashtool recognizes your x10 (if flashtool doesn't do anything, check third post please! thx)

•close flashtool and then press any button in the cmd window that the unlocking process starts (please close flashtool, instead the bl unlock cmd and flashtool are constantly killing and restarting adb!!)

•after unlocking is finished you have to flash azuzu kernel upgrade

(same deal as the downgrade)

•now power on phone to check if the phone is starting after the unlock (if you are using a custom kernel yet with the bypass method and get stuck in a bootloop enter xrecovery and clear dalvik-cache, then your phone should boot up again fine)

•power off phone and flash the kernel you downloaded with flashtool

(the one you picked as said i used doomkernels v6 for UL BL)

•now flash the wifi modules if its needed with xrecovery. NOT FLASHTOOL!!!!

•power on phone again and if everything is right, read the line under that one

If you aren't seeing the se logo at turning on phone, but directly the custom kernel logo, you were succesfully. If you want to enter xrecovery you have to spam the back button now if the xperia logo appears instead of the se logo.

and thats it :)

all thnx should go to 9Lukas5 since i just copy / pasted evrything that he wrote :)

And when are the bat file finished, it didn't give a clear message, so after a while i exited it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjornlindekens:
the bat file auto exits when completed cant remember but it asks you to press any key again and when you do it auto closes

make sure thats done and make sure you do this while flashtool is closed

so close flashtool before pressing any key in de bat file :)

and i dont see an error in the flash tool info you posted ? how is it stuck ?

i dont know if it matters but i actually upgraded straight away to the kernel i wanted to use

so instead of doing the kernel upgrade delivered with flashtool i upgraded to doomkernels v6 ULBL

seems like your almost there :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xVenator:
The upgrade didn't continue..

I'll try your method instead, as for the bat tool.. it's "stuck" at the *daemon started successfully*
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjornlindekens:
ah yeah ok

its bat file first while flashtools turned of

then when it auto closed turn flashtool back on and upgrade :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xVenator:
I don't think you understood my explanation :P

First I downgraded

then I started the bat

then I closed the flashtool

then I pressed "any key" in the bat

then it got stuck on *daemon started successfully*, and it still get stucks there.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laneyofdeath:
I think u may be missing adb drivers on ur pc
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xVenator:
I think you might be right.

First, after a while just having the bat file opened this pops up: "error: protocol fault (no status)". Whatever that means, and it get stuck at the deamon thing again.

however when I start flashtool while having the bat file open it starts killing the apb server because it is out of date.

now.. what is adb server and how do I update/Install it?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xVenator:
Also, when I get this apb server thing installed ( can anyone link? ), can I use FXP 123 to upgrade with?

edit:

I used another computer, as I was away from my main computer. I got no problem with the adb server there, other than windows defender, but I manage to allow it :)

now, back to the question above: Can I install FXP 123 as custom kernal? instead of upgrade?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjornlindekens:
Thats what i did but with doomkernels v6 and no pro lems here ... maybe just to be safe flash the upgrade first then your fx123 its how the guide told us to do it
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xVenator:
and so I did :)

Then I installed CM7 FXP123 .... stuck at CM7 loading logo O.o

any idea what happend?

btw, thank you so much for the help so far! I really appreciate it and ofc used the thanks button! ^^
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjornlindekens:
Redo de wipes ... enter recovery if you can? Its the rom loadin not kernel is it?

Then full wipe

Wipe cache partition

And wipe dalvik cache or whatever its called

In xrecovery its in adv option i believe

Ive googled some more and dalviks cache alone might even be sufficient

Sent from my CM7 Zmod / doomkernels v6 UL BL X10!

(And all that without bricking it) so far atleast.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laneyofdeath:
To fully run adb u need to download java runtime environment and android SDK. The reason I think its adb is because it stops after saying starting daemon. This I think is adb starting
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xVenator:
Got everything working now.. except, I don't have a market app O.o

As I said I just used another computer and the bat file worked, and after wiping all data as Bjornlindekens suggested I got it running.

Thanks all!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjornlindekens:
this is what i found so far.

(Amaurilol)

''Try finding an apk file for the market. Uninstall the one of your phone and install the downloaded one.''

http://www.filecrop.com/google-market.apk.html

flash google apps.zip if there is one ?(for your rom)

can you locate the market app in your settings/applications ?

only found 1 simular problem and doesnt say if its solved or not

and

(Ynkamat)

''Or else do a manual install of market app. We have a lots of them in apps section. Fix permissions. Use android commander from pc and install that app as a system app. But you need google account and its services to detect''
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xVenator:

What is the latest version of Google Play?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjornlindekens:
im running version 3.5.19 ''google play store" this is the version it auto updated .

did you instal any Gapps.zip for your rom ?

because i found a link in this thread.(check if this is the rom you used)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=911364

and the link is CM7.2 Gapps addon

http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb...828-signed.zip

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
Any Wish Lists for what the Sidekick 4G LX (I am guesstimating the new name of the Next Generation model) should have??

My list:

* A bigger screen (closer to 4 inches).

* Full Unicode Support, including manual entry of symbols (like Alt+#### on PCs and similar to older Sidekicks). Support for a wider array of symbols via the Symbols key (customizable??).

* More built-in memory.

* LED lights that are accessible to a wider array of apps (not just the built-in ones).

* Smiley Button that works in ALL apps, not just the built-in Texting app

* If you have to add bloatware (like DriveSmart) allow it to be easily uninstalled.

*Allow customizable color themes.

*provide a better font where it is clear the difference between l (lower L) I and 1 (like the older sidekicks did)

Any others you want to add to the list??
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
I'd be fine with retaining the screen we have now, though stretching it out to the borders of the case does sound nice. The bigger priorities for me would be to add a faster CPU, some extra memory, and get ICS. An HDMI output would be a nice bonus, but definitely not a requirement.

Despite what HTC says, I don't want my cell phone to be the thickness of a playing card. I quite like the chunky shape of the Sidekick and would much much much much much much much much much much much rather have that than an angular and awkward iPhone 4-shaped phone with shorter battery life. Really thin phones are weird to hold, and the battery life is short enough as it is with our chunky battery.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
is it confirmed there making one? id like a bigger screen and a dual core, but thats about all.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
Nothing specific other than saying they are not retiring the brand and hope to release a new version in the future.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
I'd possibly be going on the crazy end of the spectrum for a great sidekick 4g/5g/lte whatev

5" screen with a keyboard that slides out (similar to the OQO model 2) with a full qwerty like the sidekick but with aswell a mouse button.

REAL GORILLA GLASS!!

on the face of the device would be captive touch buttons similar to ones found on the captivate/vibrant

A Texas instrument based cpu dual core preferably (TI because they are more friendly with source code)

1gb of ram

8gb internal memory aswell as a microSD slot

petaband radio similar to the one in the galaxy note so it will work just about anywyere with gsm

HDMI output

Sound chipset that has background filtering

ICS with as little reskinning as possible

probably will never happen but a mad man can dream can't he?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
Why? The reason I own the SK4G is that it is the only phone besides the G1 with a 5-row keyboard and Hard-buttons. Making the hard-buttons capacitive is a deal-breaker for me! At least the Back button must be clicky hardware, not "don't know if I pressed it or not" and "sometimes press it by mistake" capacitive soft-buttons).

If this phone had updated processor/memory, a better camera with flash (or awesome low-light performance), and a brighter edge-to-edge high-res screen, it would be perfect. NFC and HDMI-out would be a bonus.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
I really like the design on this device(slightly tilted screen, physical buttons, GREAT keyboard), so I wouldn't mind if they continued this train of thought. But yeah, more RAM would be a must, to hopefully prevent the freezing and rebooting problems. And for me, a 3.7 in. screen would be cool, and a better camera. And also, improve the trackpad.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
I know what we need. Replace the utterly useless micro optical trackpad! Give us a ball, a nub, a much bigger optical trackpad, ANYTHING!

Also, an inverted T set of arrow keys in the keyboard would be spectacular.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
TI OMAP Processor

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
With a screen that big, you could have a Function Key row and a number pad! It will end up looking like the new tablet with a slide out keyboard..
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] monkor:
LOL that would look ridiculous
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] khaldood:
If there's going to be another sidekick, i'd avoid it like the plague if it's from samsung again. It says a lot when they get the keyboard drivers wrong on at least two phones. Also, touchwiz.

Here's what i'm hoping on the next sidekick, if we see another one:

- Dual core 1 GHz or more CPU

- 1GB RAM

- 5 row keyboard

- 4 inch screen (i don't mind bigger, but i think 4 inch is the most likely size, and should please most people)

- 960x540 screen (800x480 is getting a little outdated, though it's still a good resolution)

... and interestingly enough, this phone leaked a few days back with similar specs i listed, and i'm already eyeing it: http://www.phonearena.com/phones/LG-Cayenne_id7120

I don't know the general opinion of LG around here, but I've had a good experience with my ancient LG GW620 and its lovely 5 row keyboard, though it was slow as hell and uses a CPU that's even older than the G1. :eek:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
The optical trackthing is useless, agreed. The sun and other heat sources create more input on it than I do. Or did, before I disabled it and forgot about its existence.

Real arrow keys would be nice, but I remapped the insipid smiley key to the up arrow, and the only-ever-pressed-accidentally microphone key to down arrow. So I can at least get around in my command history.

Apart from that, as others have said, more RAM (I'll go so far as to say 1.5 GB), although I don't really feel the need for a faster processor. 5 GHz 802.11n would be nice.

And last but not least... better code drops from the manufacturer. Samsung and T-Mobile did the bare minimum to comply with the GPL. TI internals would be a good start. Fewer proprietary peripherals, more open ones.

And under no circumstances may the keyboard be reduced in number of rows, spacing, or tactile quality.

And, I want my pop/swivel hinge back.

There's no harm in putting that d-pad back. I am tired of hearing people that play games on their phone complain that a phone looks like you could play a game on it.

As a SK supporter since the day i had to plug my redic dot matrix camera into my bric err cinderblock black and white OG sidekick "1g" and my mr cartoon sk2 and the overhyped overpriced no difference but a lil thinner and a flashy rollerball with same booty screen sk3 (they lost me to crackberry during the whole slide lx dwade ed 07 08 09 new sk every month bs) id like to say the typical dual core 4+ inch screen 1gb+ ram as most but by the time this thing actually would come out u gotta imagine the landscape of the future androids. ics is already internally being considered a flop or to be politically correct a "gateway"(windoze me millenium ed if u will)to intertwine both tablet and phone interfaces and to make way for the more slightly desktop interfaced and integrated android 5 already in testing and rumored to make a q4 this year debut...so in other words q3 next yr if we r lucky.(its coming eventually, phone tablet and chromebooks all running the same android) so seeing how the sidekick has historically been behind the ball as far as tech ill just be happy with a galaxy s2 running ics built into a SK package. i tried to pretend when i 1st upgraded to the s2 with a bt keyboard and rigged case but nothing and i mean nothing out today beats the sidekick layout and keyboard. give me the s2 guts in a sk package and a below 500 pricetag a year from today and im happy, bigger higher res screen is a must but for petes sake...dont forget the freaking camera flash this time!

---------- Post added at 06:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 AM ----------

prefer but dont really care about the hinge but ditto on the rollerball, tho it jams with dust and the d pad. this new joystick sucks balls. btw while we r dreaming. quad core the b 2gb ram 32gb internal 64gb external sdxc and a 5 inch hd screen 8+MP cam w/flash! all with the sidekick layout/keyboard and id shell out 1500 bucks right now lol samsung would prolly just jack it up with gingerbread or some crap
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
I'm quite happy with the hinge design we have now. It's very strong and solid. Much more so than the classic Sidekick mechanism. I've yet to see a Sidekick 4G with the screen broken off. But I've seen older sidekicks in two pieces.

I suspect it also allows the phone to be thinner, but I can't confirm that.
