[XPERIA X10 General] coucouhu:
I rooted my Xperia yesterday by following the steps:

Steps to root Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Phone

1. Download (from here) and unzip the file.

2. Read howto.txt and find your DeviceID in the registry and change the DeviceID.txt in step1 and step3 folders.

3. Now run step1.bat. This will update the phone firmware to R1EA018 S0-O1B.

4. After flashing, remove the battery and wait for 5 seconds.

5. Replace the battery and reboot the phone.

6. When phone is running again activate USB-Debugging.

7. Do a factory reset (recommended).

8. Then run step2.bat. A popup menu should appear.

9. Choose option 6.

10. The phone will reboot and flash. After an end and everything will be ok.

11. Now run step3.bat. This step will update the baseband X10i R2 (this is for X10i only).

12. After you finish this. The phone will restart.

13. Now run step4.bat. This will allow the root, and delete SE and Docomo Stuff from phone in addition to installing small apps.

At step 7, I did a factory reset, since then, I got a problem. After rooting, I lost my 3G network and I can't synchronize any more my phone. If you you how to recover Xperia X10 to original SonyEricsson version. Thanks.

Ok, so usually I can figure this **** out.

But I am absolutely stuck. been dealing with this for a while, almost to the point im tired of connecting via usb. and just using dropbox to transfer files.

My phone gets stuck into a boot cycle when i plug it via USB connection.

never when its just AC charging.

I have tried multiple roms. data resets, etc.

I think it has to do when debugging starts on the phone from the power up.

what im running:

Fresh Evo 0.5.3

no usb damage to cord or phone.

phone is set level on a flat stable surface.

i can get atleast 1 minute before it starts the cycle booting. i have access to system via android. as well. not sure.

any ideas?

logcat
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albaholic:
what do your logs say?

instructions stolen from flipz

To get a debug log (in windows) :

1. Plug your phone up to your computer, open a command prompt and do "adb devices" to make sure your computer sees your phone. If it doesn't then this tutorial isn't for you and you need to get back to the basics on using adb.

2. Type: adb logcat V > c:\pick\a\folder\log.txt

3. Let it run through 2 or 3 boot loops. Then press control+c to stop capturing the log.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdot:
i didnt think about running a log.

its been plugged in now for about 15 minutes and no cycle boots. this is a first.

im sure it will act up soon. and post a log.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albaholic:
Also, was it doing that on stock as well? I'd check that to rule out possible hardware issues.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdot:
nope. just after rooting.

and im going strong now around half an hour.

i dunno if it was something i did or not. we'll see.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdot:
finally happened again.

this time was about 30 minutes idle sitting at my desk.

ill be honest, i do not understand whats causing it.

here's the logcat

*bump*

please if anyone can help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brndnwbb:
The same thing happens to me. Only at random times. I don't really know what's causing it. I'm running fresh 0.5.3 s well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axlebot:
I'd say it may have something to do with Fresh 0.5.3. I ran that for a good amount of time, but I recently switched to DamageControl. I got the same kind of bootloops yesterday running Damage (I nandroided back to fresh to pull my text messages then switched back and that's when the usb bootloops started). I have no idea what's wrong with it either.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdot:
Bump.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LearnIIBurn:
Definitely had the same problem when I was running fresh 0.3! It was insane. Anytime I plugged in usb to charge or disk drive my phone would rapid fire reboot like 3-4 times till it stabilized. Then sometimes randomly in my pocket while it was sleeping. I would randomly hear "freeesssshhh!" All the time. Not sure but seems to be a fresh thing. Does not do it on stock or damage control.

Sent from my EVO from the Apple Store.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
I think I found the problem why I couldn't connect to my APN while I always did with all my ex phones from SE and nokia : the user agent!!

I tried to use Opera mini but it seems that it uses the bluit-in UA too :(

So is there any ways to add a nokia or SE User Agent into the N1 so my network think it's one??

SE UA is Netfront and Nokia used WAP 2.0
[Streak 5 Accessories] MiloTheGreat:
Its seems the charging standards for USB car chargers have not been ratified so there are two different types out there....

So when you buy a car charger, its a little bit of a gamble to weather it will work or not...

This one does work

Ebay item : 130398121842

(its not me selling them)

I'm hear from some source that pins 2 & 3 need to be shorted, also hearing then need a 200ohm resistor between them. If anyone can clear up the confusion, that would be a massive help.

Apart from that, lovin my Streak...:p
[Streak 5 Accessories] elbowz:
The MotorMonkey doesn't work, although that's not a surprise as it only allows a current draw of 0.7A. The htc branded in-car adapter works fine though...
[Streak 5 Accessories] jonikah:
Desperately need a car charger. Anyone found anything that works ?

Thanks.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Guest69:
Sorry,

duplicate post
[Streak 5 Accessories] Guest69:
Well, in addition to the motormonkey, the Belkin universal usb car charger doesn't work, neither do any sold at Maplin. As a last resort I bought a slimline Power invertor for £15 . . . which promptly fell apart the 1st time I unplugged my charge. This is pretty ridiculous, Dell will not sell the charger unit without the mount. Has anybody found a working car charging option that doesn't cost £50?!
[Streak 5 Accessories] lufc:
Had my streak for about 3 weeks now and had not tried it in the car but after reading this post i thought i would go and try the car adaptor i had purchased for the TP2 that i had

and viola it worked no problem charged it very fast i have put the link at the end i purchased it from ebay :)

[Streak 5 Accessories] bluefrog:
Hi,

Just in case it helps anyone, take your existing 12V USB adapter apart if it's not working with the streak and solder pins 2 and 3 together (the middle two, preferably at the PCB end if it has one). Works :)

I have gone from non-working to working in about 5 mins flat!! I should point out mine is a 1A charger. Think it needs to be with the Streak?

HTH....

PS what an AWESOME device. Just awaiting 2.2 now (hopefully)

Usb car charger

Hi

To anybody having issues with a USB Car Charger, I have managed to solder the 2nd and 3rd Pins in a charger purchased from Ebay, and it works perfectly.

The Item number for the charger from Ebay is # 220605256968

I have taken pictures of a small piece of wire that I used to solder the two points together, incase anybody is wondering how it can be done.

The link for the pics is as follows:

[Streak 5 Accessories] markzoe:
Tis true you can get any plug and just solder middle pins together, I tried about ten of em none worked, blob of solder job done..
[Streak 5 Accessories] Radimus:
I just opened up my USB console I installed on my Harley and soldered pins 2&3 together and now it charges

I already have a bunch of AC powered USB ports and car USB adapters... A bit of surgery there and I'll be set.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Houndx:
Just did it on a Scosche plug. It has two adapters. I dropped a bit of solder on the circuit board for the middle pins on one plug. That plug now works and the second doesn't.
[Streak 5 Accessories] untrueparadox:
the solder thing is interesting, ill give it a shot.

i went into the AT&T store for a USB charger, turned out their AT&T branded iPhone charger + USB port won't charge it even though an employee suggested it.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Linuxslate:
Please Be Careful with this trick.

The Streak

WILL

draw 1000mA when you solder those 2 pins together.

If the charger is not rated for that, something bad will happen.

I did this as a test to a cheap 12v USB adapter (Off-brand Sony PSP accessories Kit), and the chip in it became very hot within a few seconds. It was charging the Streak, but it would not last long at the temp it was at.

I un-soldered the pins since I would rather have a low-current charger than a burned out charger. The charger was only rated at 500mA.

The Dell House charger is rated at 1000mA, so I would assume that if a charger was rated at 1000mA or greater, and you trust that rating, it is OK to do this.

There is a reason why they did what they did.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Houndx:
Good point, but it should be noted that a decent charger will have a fuse in it.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Radimus:
It isn't the issue having a fuse... many of these "cheap" chargers only support 500mA. If you were to draw too much current, you would likely blow the regulator chip/circuit... Make it have a nice meltdown ;)

That being the case, there are ways to MAKE your own 12v USB chargers that would supply 1A, for not too much money... $4.00 in 2 chips from radio shack and about $10-$15 in other assorted parts. It would never be too pretty, but it would be a custom project that many people enjoy doing. (the original hackers used wire, tape and soldering irons)
[Streak 5 Accessories] egh3125:
I like my Streak to much to fry it. I purchased a cyberpower charger and it works perfectly...
[Streak 5 Accessories] DeathOfAllThings:
For the record, bought one of these Griffin iTrip Auto Universal Plus FM Transmitter, thought it'd be nice to get the FM transmitter and charger in one. Unfortunately, the charger port DOES NOT work with the streak. Pretty upsetting.

h t t p ://cgi.ebay.com/Griffin-iTrip-Auto-Universal-Plus-FM-Transmitter-iPod-/370320858927?pt=Other_MP3_Player_Accessories

Also, iphone wall chargers will also not charge the streak. That's also upsetting since my last phone was an iphone.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Kurtz:
it has 4 pins at the battery contact, I would like to know which pins are postive(+) and negative(-) on the battery contact?

can you help me to do a test on the battery??

thank you vvvvvery much~~~~
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
Asking the same question in three different threads on the same forum is annoying.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Guest69:
I ended up buying a mains invertor for £15 from Maplin
[Streak 5 Accessories] Keethos:
Does anyone know how you can tell if your 12v USB adapter is rated at 1000mA? I brought one off ebay (really small one) and the seller claims that it's 1000mA but you know ebay, especially the people selling from Hong Kong or places, don't always get the details right (e.g. some dude selling stylus' on ebay that says they are for Dell Streaks, e-mailed him to double check as they looked like normal resistive type stylus', he reassured me it was for the Dell and that they've tried it, brought it and I was right, they were for resistive screens. Got my money back and managed to keep them, turning them into mini knubchucks :D).
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
Try it and see, the only thing you're going to fry is the charger. If it's not up to the task you should notice it getting very hot and/or taking a very long time to charge.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Keethos:
Well, I've tried it....and it didn't melt on me :D. Left it in for about 5-10 mins and it got a little warm....that's fine right? And it charged about 1%.....is that fine too? Or is that too slow?
[Streak 5 Accessories] decoyeb:
i have done the blob of soider trick it works but i got a 4 way usb charger from maplins yes its rated at 1000 ma and it worked for a while bout a week.Then it all went fubar lol i plugged in my hd2 at the same time and for some resone it stopped working lol yes im stupid but both phones are ok but dont try n charge more than one phone at a time durrrrr lol
[Streak 5 Accessories] Radimus:
I haven't tried any of these, but they say rated at 1000ma

there are AC models toward the bottom of the page
[Streak 5 Accessories] Godo_PPL:
the htc charger for desire works perfectly, should be rated for 1000mA..
[Streak 5 Accessories] Keethos:
Well, I'd just like to thank you guys for all the info, I had a proper test of the charger after soldering the two points together and it works a treat, used it for a 3 hour journey with Co-pilot, and it even managed to fully charged my phone and it wasn't scoldering hot after use either.

When I used to use my HD2 with TomTom, it would usually be at the same battery level as when I set off.
[Streak 5 Accessories] dwb790:
£2.59 solution

I had a problem with my car charger. Bought one that provides 1A and problem solved. cost £2.59 from ebay (ref - item no.360292069276)

If it had involved a soldering iron I would probably have 3rd degree burns by now!

P.S. loving my Streak!

This one works with streak, it also works with 24v if you have a camper van etc

[Streak 5 Accessories] dalamario:
To check if the phone is charging with 1000mA (1A) or 500mA you can use EmList.

To access to EmList you have to write *#*#307#*#* on the phone dialer, then you will find EmList on the menu (and a couple of other icons too). Open the app and select "chargin", it will appear a grey windows with many informations about your battery, charging cycle and power used. On the left you will find the actual voltage of the battery and the current utilized (positive values when charging, negative values when discharging), on the right the information you need: USB current.

To disable the EmList and the others apps (the engineering tools) you can write *#*#308#*#* on the phone dialer.

I picked up the following low profile usb charger from ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Black-Phone-USB-Car-Charger-Dell-Streak-Mini-5-/290477958986?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43a1d5e74a

When I plug in, it shows that it's plugged into a comptuer. I'm guessing this is a trickle charge?

[edit] doesn't charge [/edit]
[Streak 5 Accessories] DMax99:
so..this one really works with the streak fine?
[Streak 5 Accessories] m4tt24:
I can't post links due to a new account or something but (ebay) item num: 300444841218 was recommended to me over on modaco by someone that had already bought one and it was working fine.

Best Buy Sales a Car Charger That Works!!!!

I purchased one from Best Buy after seeing it asdverised on display with the Streak. It charges @ 3 amp and it works. Comes with 2 USB ports, so you can charge another device if you desire to. I had pics, but erased them and I'm out of town, so I can't take any for a week. Any rep in the mobile phone department can point you in the right direction though. :D

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Platinu....p?id=1218231414271&skuId=1191097&st=platinum charger&cp=1&lp=1
[Streak 5 Accessories] bigdaddy4u:
order one from ebay for $3 - $4 and return it when you get it. it's only a single usb, but $29 cheaper....
[Streak 5 Accessories] rommie:
The rep at Best Buy sold me this.

It does not work.
[Streak 5 Accessories] stevenlong:
Read in another thread how Dell shorts out the data link in their charger as a way to tell the Streak that it is connected to a high amp charger.

And it appears to be hit or miss weather a charger has done this or not.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Techvir:
THis is what i use.

It has usb port and a also a 3 pin port

Works well with dell and most of my other accessories

Dual Port Car & Wall Charger That Works from Best Buy

View attachment 468309

View attachment 468312

View attachment 468313

Rommie and anyone else who would like to look @ what they are buying 1st, go to best buy and purchase the Platinum Series Charger. They have one that has 2 USB ports that charge in-car only. And another that has 2 USB ports that charges in-car & in-wall. They are both the same price. I bought the car only charger, but exchanged it for the one that does car and wall since they are both the same price. The SKU that charges in car and wall is 1192023, but I just searched Best Buy website, and its no longer listed. Its a new item as of 12/16/2010, and was backorder when I drove 1.5 hours to the only store in Illinois that had it in stock. So it may not show up online for a few weeks. This is what I use in the car & IT WORKS!!!!
[Streak 5 Accessories] RavenY2K3:
For those in the UK, I just use the USB charger I bought from Sainsburys, it's got 2 USB ports on it and was a fiver at the begining of the year, when I actually bought it for use with my Desire (ive only had the streak a month or so)
[Streak 5 Accessories] Krisbo:
I think as long as it is 1000mAh then any car charger should work fine. Mine certainly does, I got it for $5 off eBay.
[Streak 5 Accessories] sukemecuke:
so that means this should work then, no? or in fact any charger for the iPad, right?
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
Looks ok to me, on either output.
[Streak 5 Accessories] sukemecuke:
So eventhough it's rated at 2.1 amps it can still use that port? I guess technically it will only draw what it needs.
[Streak 5 Accessories] gstyle40:
heres what i use. ultra portable. i take it everywhere i go....

lol been a member for years here and i cant post outside links because "uh ohh" its my first post lol

cheapdroids.com/ZAGG-SPARQ-Portable-Battery-Back-Up-and-Charger.html

i used to use this for my nexus 1, and now i use it for my streak. my streak will usually last me all day and i use it alot. im a truck driver so i use nav, and watch movies/tv on breaks. its good for at least 3 full charges then when u get home, plug it into the wall again :D
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
2.1 amps is what it can deliver, the item being charged draws what it needs up to that, if the Streak needs 1 amp then it will only draw 1 amp. I'd use the 2.1 amp port just to make sure the Streak can draw as much as it needs to charge as quickly as it can.
[Streak 5 Accessories] sukemecuke:
Picked up an iPad charger and it didn't work. They didn't have the one I posted at best buy. I had gift cards that's the only reason I went. I'm most likely going to pick up one of the ebay ones folks have used.
[Streak 5 Accessories] marvin02:
Some pics of the Wagan 2550 (click on thumbs to emlarge). It works as both an AC (US style mains plug) and DC car charger in your car. I don't have my Streak yet but is has been confirmed to work.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Nomgle:
This one - http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.45227 - works just fine. $5.78 including free shipping worldwide.
[Streak 5 Accessories] sukemecuke:
with the streak? do you still have to solder stuff?
[Streak 5 Accessories] Nomgle:
Yes.

No.

Like I said, it works just fine.
[Streak 5 Accessories] sukemecuke:
ordered it yesterday, arrived today, worked perfectly! Thanks! I'm set now for long trips. GPS mount, and car charger. Now just need somewhere to go. :)

Now just wish I could get ahold of a cord that wasn't $20.
[Streak 5 Accessories] bytechaser:
Thats the exact one I bought here for 15$ works great. charges from dead in under 45 minutes.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muscleshop:
Hmmm. We know the iFail (lol) PDMI's wont work, so now I'm wondering if all the iPad PDMI's will, or is it still hit or miss? Good find.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muscleshop:
I just ordered this car charger, but I also ordered a charging dock for the iPad from the same place. Hopefully, both will work. I will report the findings.. :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] Nomgle:
I'm not sure what you mean - the iPad doesn't share any connectors with the Streak so none of it's stuff will work.

The charger I linked has a USB output, and you connect your Streak to it with your existing Streak USB cable.
[Streak 5 Accessories] :
I guess this one should work as well, as this has got 1A current output.

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.40469
[Streak 5 Accessories] Nomgle:
No - it will only work if it's got a 1A output and it presents the device with a data connection (ie, it shorts the middle two USB pins).

Just having enough power isn't enough for the Streak...
[Streak 5 Accessories] braluk:
Solution?

Old bump but I thought I'd add to this. I had the AT&T locked Streak. Couldn't charge. Had a standard dual USB universal car charger (1A each port) and a single 1000mA one that I got from office depot (6 dollar one called Mobil IT). None of it worked. Anyhow, decided to root the 1.6 and make the jump to 2.2 myself, since it was inevitable that the AT&T 2.2 was going to remove tethering/everything cool. After a long night of upgrading and changing basebands, I finally flashed the Official Dell Stock 2.2 Froyo release for the unlocked Dell Streaks in the US. Decided to see if it was firmware or hardware that determined the proprietary "handshaking" for USB Car chargers and viola! It works like a charm, and charged quickly without overheating! Looks like AT&T/Dell had just written USB charging rules into their locked firmwares so they could also be one of the few distributors that could sell a working car charger. Anyhow, I am currently running baseband 31800-US on the 12821 build of Froyo if anyone were inclined to upgrade. But be sure it is equivalent or over 1000mA.

It's definitely unique to see a company like Dell sell different versions of the phone (US-unlocked, AT&T branded, EU-unlocked) and the kinds of code changes that are done to it by different parties to translate to $$. Hope this helps!

pins 2 & 3 soldered no result

bought five different car USB plugs, soldered pins 2 & 3 together...

none of them works with my Dell Streak 5

all just B.S.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Radimus:
Just get a 2a charger it will work

sent from my Note 2: running uXylon and KKOv3
[Streak 5 Accessories] Radimus:
There are only 4 pins at the usb side of the cable and the streak tends to require pins 2 and 3 shorted to charge when data isn't detected.

Most high current chargers already do that, so it shouldn't be a difficult thing
