There are several flash versions, standalone, that are for un-bricking. If you cannot get into flash mode, remove battery, press and hold back button, reinsert battery. If you do not have a third hand may take a time or two to get it right!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] A_Mateen10:
i know how to get to flash mode, but do you know of any flash versions, or where can i download them from? Thanks for the help

Look at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=738745&highlight=R2CA016 Decrypted branded ROM list (For unroot or rebrand purpose) (flashtools method).

You will have to search to find ROM for your particular phone.

Thanks man, i found the file which some guy was asking for x10a for at&t. Now i gotta read to see how to do this thing. Thanks again

Glad to help. If you change your profile to indicate provider and country, you may get more specific help. There are two AT&T files, one with just the sin files and one to unbrick standalone with flash.

my x10 rooting journey

I got my 1 day old x10i and tried to root it, Using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717949.

After downgrade the firmware my phone wouldn't boot up, it would only shake.

I was worried so i used SEUS to re flash to the original firmware. Even thought SEUS said successful flash but I couldn't boot the phone up. The screen turn on the back lit and flicker. At this states i was :( :confused:.

I then stumped on this thread, and i download root_F3V3 and follow the instruction. I was successful on the first step and I was able to get my phone to work :). But I was unable to get the second step to work.

I got up to this

and the phone reboot itself like you turn the phone of and on again.

I never got this pic

If i follow through and execute the next step in the cmd. it was able to write to sd but fail mod, It said read only memory. I re tried 4 time the same thing happen.

In the end I used SEUS to update the firmware and my phone back to square 1.

DeviceInstance

Try this, the easy way of finding it....

Connect your x10i to the computer and mount the SD card. Now go tot Device manager, Right Click on USB Mass Storage Device, Properties. Under General Tab, confirm under Location it is for x10. Then go to Details Tab. There will be a drop down, Select Device Instance ID from there, it will list the information. Click on that. Select copy by ctrl+c and then paste it to Notepad.

Note: Always check the location as sometimes, there might be more than 1 USB Mass Storage Device, depending upon the computer which you have. It can be for Memory Card slots as well.

Hi!

I just attempted to root my x10i. All APPEARED to work right up to here:

...

##############################

# ENABLE USB DEBUGGING #

# PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE ROOTING #

##############################

Press any key to continue....

mount: Operation not permitted

...

After finishing the process my phone appears to be in complete working order... just not rooted!

Here are the phones original stats:

Firmware v1.6

Baseband v1.1.31

Kernel v2.6.29-rel semc-android@SEMC #2

Build R2BA026

I attempted the root using the following downloads:

Attempt 1) i_R1FA16_ft.rar & F2v2

Attempt 2) F3v3

Attempt 3) F3v1

All result in read-only error.

Where would I have gone wrong?

Am I using the right dloads?

Thanks & apologies, never done this before :! :rolleyes:

Also apologies if this has been addressed already. I DID attempt to sift through this thread, but its ummm rather large!

x10 on AT&T in United States

I just purchased one for my daughter who wanted it really bad. It comes with 1.6 from AT&T - yes it still comes with 1.6 =)

I am experienced with flashing roms on phones. My son has a Galaxy S running Darky's 7.5 and I am running DJ Steve's 1.5.3 beta on my Dell Streak.

What is a good and SAFE way for me to root my daughter's x10 and get her the latest firmware.

This stock AT&T phone is so bloatware loaded and locked down that you can't even find Youtube on the Android Market.

Thanks to any and all for their help.

NOOO!

i rooted my x10

i went to install something in the installer

---no connection

Turned phone off then back on

-stuck on "sony ericsson screen ):
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] armarra:
Hi x10newb ,

from what I recall of this process, you need to put the deviceID into the deviceID.txt file that exists in the folder on your pc where you ran this download_flash from.

when you click on this 1_download_flash file, it should wait patiently at the pause with the window on the pc still open until you connect your phone in flash mode(holding the back key with power off whilst plugging in the phone) and then quickly (few secs no more) hitting the enter key..

it should then start scrolling text really fast and doing its job.

If you are having touble getting this batch file to stay open, then either your running windows 7 or vista and need to runas admin instead of just left clicking the file , or you perhaps have not put the deviceID in the deviceID.txt file and it exits because there is no deviceID to work upon.

spend a bit of time reading the instructions in the readme file(s) and try again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] armarra:
Hi, the difference between the x10a and x10i is mainly the frequencies that the phone supports for its cellular communication in MHz.

I would not be too worried about this unless you cannot make any phone calls.

the x10a just supports a different set of freq to the x10i and there is some overlap in these so that some freq are supported by both.

leave it as an x10i unless you cannot make calls.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] armarra:
Okay, you rooted your x10, are you sure this was done correctly.

somewhere on this forum...under my username armarra you will see a list of things that can go wrong with this process...like not hitting the enter key on the keyboard quickly enough after connecting the phone in flash mode

or forgetting to check the DeviceID is still in the DeviceID.txt file before you do a second run...

have a read of that first, it may well point you to the problem.

dont worry all is not lost..

you can still hold that back key down while you plug the phone into your pc and the phone will be in flash mode ready for whatever batch file you have there to perform the flash you require.

have a look at my posts and there will be one that identifies things that can go wrong.

in the final analysis....just follow these steps again but be careful to read each step and the warnings. let me know how you go this time.

If you have Windows 7 64bit...

Do you have to run the X10flash.bat as an Administrator? BTW: I added the direct ";C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin" to the system variables.

Also, do I need to add an files into the windows\system32 driectory or the java directory?

I believe I've followed the instructions correctly but can even get set one to work :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] j4mm3r:
Oh man... read Jerpleas posts that follow. Do I have to tell you everything now?

Or you could try Omnious for SE (registration required but otherwise free). This is the safest method that will work directly with those two zip files that you have.

Just remember, the smaller one is the phone firmware like baseband, bootloader etc and the larger one contains the "customization" i.e. the actual Android system.

Just follow the menus in Omnious and you'll see what I mean. In case you have problems, just PM me and I can try to help.
