Sorry I forget to mention, I did push the back button when I plug in the usb, it entered flash mode for like 5 sec and the phone boots up automatically....

I should say this way, the phone boots up by itself after I turned it off

I tried to reset option in the setting, I still get the same problem.

Expand on wether you mean my step 3 or the root step 3
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Sure your device ID is correct? Because thats the behaivior if the flashing programm can'T communitcate with the device ;)

Regards
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] brunswick000:
Ya ive got too agree with you here. Other than some minor grammar errors thats about as plainly written as you could ask for. You're just going to have to do some actual reading im afraid.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bluemoko:
For the DeviceID, make sure you using the right USB port on your PC as windows always assign new DeviceID on each of every port you plug your phone in. In my case it's show up 3 DeviceID for 3 different port.

For X10i and X10a, so far I have no issue running X10i firmware on my X10a from Roger. I've done till step 3 and 3G still work fine. But it is good to have step4 and step5 in case SE finally do something with Radio Image later on, so we can flash the correct baseband on our X10

^ ^
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
I'm sorry if you feel that the first post isn't a mess of instructions, but it really is. In fact, the entire list of instructions isn't really all that informative. You have to go looking elsewhere around the forums to get specific instructions to do specific things. Everything should be included in one place and a full set of instructions should be posted for each device (x10a/x10i).

I'm really not trying to be a jerk, but I'm not an idiot when it comes to computers by any means, I'm a technician for pete's sake but those instructions are horribly confusing. Here's an example....

Step 1: Flash your chosen ROM.

Easy enough....or...wait....how do I flash? Where do I get my ROM? No indication of where or what either of those things are. Of course, being as patient as I am, I went looking around the forums for more information. I found the information (such as how to even put the phone into flash mode). This stuff should be in the instructions.

Once I've actually managed to properly root my phone (More confusing issues between steps 3 and 4 due to having to read 3 different threads for instructions), I may put together a COMPLETE guide to rooting the x10a. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bmw-boy:
Any Help Please

any respond
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
@nekkidtruth:

Hm,

i don't know whats the problem, because ALL FILES YOU NEED are a few lines above the first step.

If you extracted them you get executeable files. This will tell you that you should put your phone in flashmode.

Step2 is easy as it can be, just run the executeable file called Step2.cmd ?!

I wrote that you must have the phone in USB-Debugging before.

Step3 is the same there is a Step3.cmd, just run it ?!

So there is no need of reading other threads in my eyes. the only "difficult" thing is the deviceID.

Regards
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Alleniv:
Hi,

thanks for your reply! So I only have to execute Step2 and nothing else (neither before nor after it)??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] damirbusic:
Dont push the back button but HOLD, so, insert the battery and HOLD back button, connect the USB cable, wait for upper LED to go GREEN, press any key where it is asked in step 1 and THEN let go back button...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
hey bin4ry, don't listen to all the losers who need to be spoonfed every little thing, you kickass man, and have enhanced the x10 experience a great deal. those of us that can read and follow instructions are very greatful :) keep the faith.

P.S. in other news, sony's roms don't use apns-conf.xml for anything, which is why everyone wtill has apn issues. we need to find what it's using and steal the bits from the rogers rom or something
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
My intention wasn't to start an argument over what is/isn't helpful. Everyone is going to view instructions differently. Some users are better than others. Regardless, I personally feel the instructions need to cleaned up and laid out with more information. Some will agree, others won't. All of that aside....

When my phone restarts after step 2 I get looping USB debugging connection. Just keeps popping up asking to start PC Companion or to hit cancel. I can't do anything else on the phone as it just keeps looping.

If I try to run Step 3, it just gives me error: device not found. That's where I'm at right now. Let me tell you it's horribly frustrating. The USB looping on the phone makes it difficult to navigate into any menus. If I turn off USB Debugging on the phone, it goes away. But comes back immediately after turning it on again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bluemoko:
I found that there are 2 locations of apns-conf.xml, one in /system/etc and the otherone in /etc/semc
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] stevencxr:
Sorry.. I should say hold...**** my English lol... I followed the instruction yesterday and everything works fine except the auto restart issue when I try to turn off my phone. Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
This is of course your opinion. Downplaying the fact that others are in fact experiencing issues following the instructions is rather...rude if you ask me. The only loser here, is you sir. Having had zero experience with android devices and or rooting, I found the instructions confusing and missing important pieces. If you disagree that's fine, but don't act like others are idiots for simply wanting their hand held through something that's not easy for everyone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] stevencxr:
I am going to redo step 1 to 5 again, thanks for all your help! I am really appreciate =)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
there is not one in either system/etc (normal placement) or etc/semc
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
There is no point of being rude here. I only said that the instructions are good in my eyes ;)

Everyone is free to setup a better guide ;) See Videoguides for example :)

I have no problem with this if you get this thread mentioned :)

Maybe i will setup a new guide tomorrow. :)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
also, this is not the issue thread, there is a seperate thread for issues with rooting
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bmw-boy:
any reply please
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
Also, my issue was with the instructions which has everything to do with this thread. Please learn to read. Are you done being a jerk? Can we move on now?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
I was done a long time ago, just saying... there are plenty of folks who have no issues with the instructions, things keep changing, and there are new developments which is why they get a little messy, but all the files and info needed are in the OP. prerequisite of figuring out how to use flashtool would help, but there is plenty of resources available for that as well
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
It's fair to assume things will get messy as things progress. Hence why a cleanup was suggested by myself as well as others. Just as there are plenty of folks who have no issues, there are plenty who do. You want to parade around the forums with your rooted phone that's all fine and dandy, but don't downplay others who have issues. It's not fair to them. That's all I'm saying. Everyone was a noob at one time. Everyone has to start somewhere.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
care to start an irc room where people can go for help? as much as you think I am a ****, I've spent countless hours on irc helping people with their phones, and would be more then happy to put some time in on the x10. this would alleviate much of the strain on these threads
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
I would have no problems doing so. As soon as my x10 is actually rooted and no longer looping the USB connection. ;)

And I don't think you're a **** per se, I just think in this particular situation you aren't really being helpful by calling people losers who can't read ;)

Call Dropping -X10i

I have been experiencing a major issue both on R2BA020 and R2BA023 after root, my call kept on dropping as soon the screen goes off. It doesn't matter whether I use 3g or 2g, the result is still the same. Has anyone else experience this issue? I can't determine whether if it's the firmwares that's causing it or the root. Any suggestions would be helpful, thank you :).

I fixed it before I had a chance to read your post, but that's exactly what caused it. However, I can't seem to pinpoint down the exact application name causing it. I had to remove most of the apps I had on auto kill list on TaskPanel. It didn't cause this issue before R2BA020 and R2BA023, but now it does. Thank you!

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TechGuru_x10:
I have the latest Root i.e. 023 on x10i. My Headphones do not work whenever i get call, whether the phones is sleeping or in active mode. It gets routed to Speaker phone. Also while listening to songs, if I disconnect the Headphone, Mediascape disconnects as well. Previously this was not the case.

Is it because of the Root or the firmware as this was not evident in 016 firmware.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TechGuru_x10:

Ok sorry if this is the wrong spot, I am very confused now about the first step I did the orignal root and it works fine, how do I get the r2ba023? Is that a rom only for the x10i and not the x10a? The latest x10 is still an r1?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Ungruntled:
Just to let you know... I was having EXACTLY this issue... I cleared everything out of TaskPanel Lite's Killer-List and it seemed to resolve it. The only thing I can think of that might be doing it is "Learning Client". I don't remember seeing that before this update and I have no clue what it does. It was getting REALLY worrying, I'd get 5-10 seconds of call and then boff! Screen off! Call dead! And one pissed-off friend on the other end!

Seems to be okay now. But be warned, my friends!

The only issues I have right now are missing apps on the Market, e.g. MyPlayer, and Death Star Clock. I'm in the UK on O2 but my phone doesn't seem to think so any more...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FRiKiNFRoG:
Everything updated, latest x10a baseband, all working fine, thanks!

PS: If no one noticed this yet, killing backup and restore breaks the 3g and sim card connection, then it reboots, so if you have this app on auto kill, it might causes problem (maybe somebody already said it, just giving feedback with everything updated).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TechGuru_x10:

I'm on the same boat, I cannot go further than Step 2. It keeps telling me device not found, I've installed SEUS, PC Companion, and JAVA. I've restarted PC three times and have replugged in the phone and restarted the phone as well as turned on/off the debugging. Any help?

Edit: Also does the device ID play any role in steps 2/3? As the steps 2,3,4,5 files were downloaded separately from step 1 and they're in totally separate folders now, I did move them into the same to see if that'd fix it but it did not.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lunkwell:
I ws having the same issue wit hmy x10i.

I tried removing the USB driverw with USBView and I alos tried removinf PC companion and installing from the phone but it daid not work.

The following worked for me.

Rather than following the steps in step 3 I swiped in and then ran step 3.

The root process then started.

It was by sheer chance I found this out.

Hey Guys,

Took the plunge and removed timescape and thought there were no issues but i have one issue that i can get arounf but its not as it should be.

When i go into contacts and try to slect a name it does not go into the next screen which shows the mobile number and which you can then select to make the call to that contact.

If i hold the contact name a pop up comes up with various option e.g edit contact, edit before call etc etc and one of the option is call contact which i can use to call that person but this is not how it should be.

Has anyone else removed timescape and has this issue and found a way to make it like it normally works,

Any help would be appreciated :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] unknown13x:
can u elaborate on that?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Diabolico:
The DeviceID does NOT play any role in steps 2 or 3, it's only used in steps where you are flashing something.

If steps 2 or 3 says "error:device not found" that would be the result of your phone not being in USB debug mode. Go into your phone setup, Applications, Development and turn on USB Debugging. You status bar should now show a little triangle with an exclamation mark as soon as you plug it into the USB.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Diabolico:
If you get this error "java.io.IOException: Unable to open channel, GetLastError=0" it means your deviceID is not correct. Keep in mind that you can have multiple ID's if you connected your phone to more than one USB ports.

Go to this thread for an alternative way to find your ID: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712098

After having found it, edit the DeviceID.txt file in your step1 folder and make sure that is no space before or after the ID (and no new lines after the ID).

Myself and others have had the same issue after removing timescape. I re-rooted with the latest firmware to get it back. Not sure if there could be a work around or not as it seems SE has meshed the phonebook with timescape. Has anyone tried using a different dialer other than the stock one after removing timescape? aTakephone has just released its newest version. Might be worth a try for you.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] shanhanif:
Thanks for the reply brunswick000,

Looks like i will live with it the way it is... It is not that bad as you can hold the screen with the contact and the secondary screen will pop up and you can make the call... Will have to do until a permanent fix come our way.

Once re-rooted timescape comes back then? and then contacts went back to normal? is that right?
