Hey all,

I need some help. i was rooted to 24, and now i need to unroot. I have an X10a with Rogers in Ontario. I took the 14 rom from the OP, flashed it onto the phone, and that loads fine. problem is, when i try to see if theres an update on the phone, it says its up to date, and when i try to use SEUS to update, it fails when the progress bar is finished, leaving me with a brick needing reflashing. After an update fails and i try to reflash with firmware, it takes me a couple tries until it gets it right. the first few give me the yellow exclamation mark. I have also read that if the firmware is the newest, SEUS would ask you if you would like to reinstall it, but this never happened, it just starts installing. I have tried both Update, and Factory Reset + Update options.

my steps were:

-unzipping WWE_R1FA014 - http://hotfile.com/dl/43225669/598ad...4_DEK.zip.html

-unzipping the 2 nested zip files

-renaming the 2 longer filenames to system.sin and userdata.sin

-inputting my deviceID

-copying all files into the flashtool

-flashed, with successful finish leaving me at R1FA014

-checked if there was a newer update version through the phone, with response saying it was up to date, which it is not, 20 is newest

-updated through SEUS, and update fails, bricking my phone, and leaving me having to flash.

-also tried updating/repairing through PC Companion 2.0, but also fails with bricked phone.

About phone Details:

Model: x10a

Firmware: 1.6

Baseband: 1.0.14

Kernel: 2.6.29-rel

semc-android@SEMC #2

Build: R1FA014

Anybody know how i can get back to original firmware, what I'm doing wrong, or if I'm missing a step?

I have a feeling it has to do with the whole adding files at a certain time, or is that something completely different?

Thanks.

Do you have by chance R2BA026 for X10a?

LAM version probably because NAM (Rogers) is still at 020.

rooted to R2BA023 ... want R2BA026

Hi!

Just a request,

I have a sucessfully rooted X10a with R2BA023.

What do I have to do to get R2BA026 on my phone + rooted?

Do I follow steps 1,2,3,4*,5* (x10i to x10a) & market fix for x10a?

What's the best way to install R2BA026 on my current phone?

Thanks!

I have a generic X10a for Latin America. I rooted it, but i started having lots of problems, so I tried to go back to original software.

I flashed with WWE_R1FA014, but now I have a ROGERS branded X10a =/

Should I use WWE_R1FB001 instead to have generic FW on my X10a?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
You can do that, or you can use X10a Generic R2BA026, made with the help of jerpelea's SIN Reconstructor and xeviro's tutorial.

I've updated to this rom now & I can't understand WHY the loaders aren't named in a better way for a noob.

I mean.......where can you see ADW.Launcher & Start & Timescape in runme.cmd that you use afterwards?

Start-option disappeared. How can I get it back? Also....... coming to the list of loaders, Timescape seems to crash since I have to force it to shutdown.

GSM/WCDMA instead of WCDMA/HSDPA after root

before rooting my phone to R2BA026 under network mode I used to have the option to select WCDMA/HSDPA but after rooting it that option has changed to GSM/WCDMA, how to I fix this? is it because I'm using the wrong baseband if so which one should I be using for optus in Australia
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bobsf40:
I think I have bricked x10.

I downloaded WWE_R1FA014 from this thread, unzipped both files into the folder with the flash tool. I ran the flash_x10.bat file, and it went through and told me it was done. I boot up my x10 and see a exclamation point symbol and phone, and it will not boot any further.

Originally, I tried to root it, but all I got was a x10i with R2BA016 firmware. So I wanted to go back to a regular x10a with R1FA014.

I'm from Canada with a Rogers x10a. Any help would be appreciated, because as of right now, I have a useless phone!

I Have:

- running win7 64 pro

- found and updated the 64bit java issues (PATH + JDK)

- originally a x10a from Rogers.

My problem is nearly identical in that I tried all of the above but with the following differences:

I managed to succsefully root and upgrade to 024 from 016; :D then got greedy and tried to do same with 026 within 1/2 hr. LOL

Have wasted 14+ hours on this today, forum searches & reading threads (279 pgs a little long is it not?) all to no avail... :(

It was triangle with exclamation mark, then just a hung Sony Ericsson name and now it's just flash mode (ie hold down back butn when connect USB cable) with the green light that works?

-Bin4ry
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Yeah, but only a german explanation.

In short and not technically:

They waited for the 2.0.1 Update.zip The Zip was modded:

original zip:

[Zip header]

[Zip Content]

[Comment (the signature is in here)]

[6 byte footer] (this contains how long the comment is)

modded:

[Zip header]

[Zip content]

[Comment (sig still here)]

[6 byte footer]

[Zip header]

[Zip content]

[Comment] (nothing exciting in this one)

[6 byte footer] (this is modified so the comment length is the length of the entire second zip file)

They injected a file < 64kb with a superuser.apk and the su binary.

There was a fault in Android <2.xx which not verifies the signatur if the injected code if < 64kb.

Here is the link to the author of this exploit:

http://zenthought.org/content/project/droid

I think we could try make something similar with the ramdisk.gz. Possibly it isn't checked well too? ^^

-Bin4ry
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mimok:
I think i know why you are "unable to open a channel".

I already use the x10flash app few days ago and i was unable to open a channel.

This bug is due to a wrong USB device ID in the X10flash app.

To be clear, USB device ID is hard coded into the java app, but it seems that this ID is not the same for all X10.

To solve the problem, you must change the hard coded ID by your own ID.

To find your USB ID, you can do that (on windows):

1) open regedit

2) search the following string "USB\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE\"

3) you must find a key which look like that USB\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE\6&12d02632&0&3 (numbers after the last \ may be different)

It is your USB device ID. You must replace the hard coded ID by your own ID.

You can reverse engineer the java app or wait for a patched app.

ps: You can use this software to decompile a java app: http://java.decompiler.free.fr/ and it is very easy to recompile a decompiled app with the java jdk.

pps : Don't forbid to escape \ in the java source code.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Thanks, great hint. Haven't thought about that ^^

Re: DECRYPTED X10 ROMS and TUTORIALS - DEVELOPPMENT ONLY

Regarding flashing the phone with the software of your liking, couldnt you IN THEORY just sort of connect it to a comp, completely remove all of its files and replace them with the ones found and extracted from another phone, say the desire. Ok i know this is way too simple, but im just saying IN THEORY wouldnt it make sense? I have no idea of the technicalities of the topic, so could someone please shine me some light on this one? Thanks

No
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
No way. The phone only accepts signed files. If you want to do it your way you have to desolder the phone and flash it the hard way :D

-Bin4ry
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lqbweb:
maybe that isn't so hard :rolleyes: you shouldnt have to disolder anything, just stick into a couple of pins....

EDIT: if its not read protected maybe we can dump the flash, mod it, and reflash it physically?

****ing SE, why they took so much care to that :@
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] McKebapp:
Re: DECRYPTED X10 ROMS and TUTORIALS - DEVELOPPMENT ONLY

Uhm... Soldering? Just a dumb thought: Some older gameconsoles and other hardware had to be electric shortened in order to mod and/or flash them. Thinking also of graphiccards like nVidia GeForce ones that can be modded to Quadro Cards.

Maybe there is a way to force the phone into some developer override mode, that allows to flash without signing?

Can anyone provide the Service Manuals including pinouts? Couldn't finde any yet...

Paul O'Brien said a while ago on twitter that he had a lot of documents for the X10 maybe you could get in touch with him and get the files?

Dont want to rush you or anything. Just a quick question if you're still online, since I couldn't really get that reverse engineering for eclipse to work I wonder if you will get a new version running to try to flash or do you know that it's impossible at this stage?

Stuck in a dillema

Hi.

I just recently rooted my X10a.

Still on original firmware thanks to rogers ****ing up my first phone.

Got the new one, rooted the puppy in question and I am stuck with this new dillema.

Wich firmaware to install now?

Any suggestion(pros and cons)?

The big issue here is about SE maning up and releasing the update long expected.

If I install custom rom, will I get the flash option on the phone?

(Odd enough to place it in there and just don't enable option in current firmware).

So fellas, what are your opinions?

(On another note, are you guyz gettin' tired of the current rants on this puppy?

I had the chancee to work on a lot of phones recently like Evo, DroidX, Desire and a few others I cant name for legal issues. and guess what? except for the firmware issue, they pretty much all behave the same. They all have little specifics depending on models, but for similar options and progs, they pretty much are similar.Anyway... I digress)

Perhaps you should try the 5-step (2/3 steps) rooting, at least the first steps to get the NTT Docomo firmware running. Just to see that there is no problem with the hardware.

And then you continue with the rest of the steps.

Or so, something..

Did you flash the orig ROM with the flash tool on the front page? Seems odd that if you flashed the shipped ROM that it would brick when using SEUS?? I would try re-flashing with the flash tool, and then perform a factory reset before trying to update with SEUS. You also might want to try uninstalling and then reinstalling SEUS if that doesn't work. Other than that im at a loss?? Good luck and let us know what the solution was when you get it figured out.

Im not sure why they wanted you to use step 5 from root method when u just want restore to orig firmware. Even with the brick you had you could have just chosen the correct firmware from the first page and flashed it with the flash tool there. Simple.

Then run SEUS.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] JulianSidewind:
I've reflashed countless times. Everything in the rom works except being able to update.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] brunswick000:
Yup I would have to say that your flash isn't working for whatever reason. Have you used the tool before? You only need to replace the .sin files in the flash tool with those found in the uncompressed firmware file. Just copy and paste them over the ones from the flash tool. Maybe save a copy of the flash tool in its original state before replacing its files.

I have to admit though that I haven't attempted to use SEUS following a flash like this sooooo I could be just talking out of my a$$ here. Why don't you just flash with the latest generic 026 FW if you're looking to update anyway? If you're not trying to return your phone or something then this will at least guarantee you the latest firmware as im afraid that expecting to get the latest from Rogers, through SEUS, would be like sitting up at night waiting for Santa Clause to come down the chimney. Just my opinion ;-)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] JulianSidewind:
I replaced the sin files properly, and I might be sending my phone in for service if i can't get this to work. As for just updating straight to 26, I want to have the latest Canadian firmware, and right now rogers is at 20 I believe. Maybe I'll try re-unpacking the sin files again.

I have an unlocked phone... I have unlocked it with the proper unlock code.

If I flash another firmware will it become locked again?

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Contrarian:
If you flash it with a generic firmware, NO. If you flash the same firmware onto the phone (ie. through SEUS/PC companion) then YES, your phone will again be locked to your telephone/service provider.

To avoid this use Omnius to flash the phone, but make sure the firmware is a generic version

EDIT: Sorry to lead you astray - Apparently it won't lock your phone again. I just updated trough pc companion and it reinstalled the flashed rom (generic version).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] biraneto:
