SIM card back up

Which of the many programs would you recommend to backup contacts, etc pre rooting the phone?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
The default app is pretty good, or sync with gmail.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ANZAC:
MyPhoneExplorer is the only one worth considering in my opinion :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PavanSareddu:
Hello Every One,

I have sucessfully rooted my phone using "Newbies Guide to Rooting X10 and giving you the newest firmware" every thing works great. Thanks to "synlar" for a great tutorial. All the AT&T apps and non-market apps were taken care by this method. The only one thing is I accidental deleted the stock Sony Ericsson HOME screen. can any one of you let me know how to re-install it. B'case I don't like the ADW Home screen...Its more like Default Android Screen. I like the customized one a lot.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
Download some themes for ADW, why anyone prefers the stock I don't know. Did you actually delete it or just don't know how to get it back after installing ADW? If you didn't delete it, just uninstall ADW.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PavanSareddu:
Thanks XperiaX10iUser for your response. At the home screen selection I am getting only two options..1. ADW.Launcher, 2. Timescape....I ran the script that says " Removal of apps...something at the end of the Tutorial" I overlooked the details. I accidentally deleted it as to my knowledge. Can you tell me how to get it back. I will try ADW theme that you were suggesting...can you able to give me some info for how to apply those themes...I checked it in ADWsetting but couldn't able to find it.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
Yeah you've deleted it but I have too as I only use ADW so can't upload it for you, and unless someone else does you'll just have to reflash.

ADW Settings - Theme Preferences - Get Themes

When you've installed one go back to theme preferences - Select your theme, and you're done.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Koutch974:
In the tutorial, just make the cleanup step again. You must edit the cmd file as It's explained in the "app removal" tutorial.

i'm stuck on the 5th step here. when i go to open the step1.cmd there is no window that comes up. nothing saying "press any key to continue". so i'm at a loss here on what to do. i have no error messages showing up or anything. so any advice on what to do at this point would be great. thanks.

oh and i have an x10a so at what point do i start following the additional steps? at the end of the original steps to follow? or do i substitute at step 6 on the original and then follow the different steps for my x10a? thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] buddz4x4:
hii im a 1st time android user, so im abit of a noob when it comes to this.

i done the 1st step as instructed, did my deviceID and changed .txt file to my deviceID, then i went on to run step1.cmd and did as instructed, waited till it said hit any key to continue. then i turned on my phone and went to check in settings to see if it had my generic firmware under build number and it wasn't there? :S

And also step 2 didnt reconise my phone....

Hello everyone, I have an X10a.

I followed the link and finished step 2. But I wasn't able to find the device ID. When I search in the registry, there's nothing that comes up.

Could someone please tell me what to do?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] erick_o:
this tutorial really helped me, i got my x10 from uae, they do not have market app(disabled) so when i flashed my phone, poooof... i have the market app, but i cannot access the play now app,

:D:D:D:D:D

if i update my new phone from seus will i need to root it again??:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tookieboy:
is it normal for the phone to have its green LED on after step1.cmd is complete? i had to pull the usb out and boot it..

edit: after about 1hr+ of sweat, it's now at 023 :) but there's something i'd like to ask though. when i look at my mode info (thru the service menu combination) it mentioned x10i, UK, customized <--- ????

but software says

phone software version:

blabla generic

file system version:

blabla generic

this is what i should be getting right? just checking, in case i messed it up somewhere

thank you very much for this guide :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tr0llica:
when i start the step1 i get the message:

‘java’ is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I have win 7 x64. i tried 32bit java, another deviceID, the video with fix - nothing is working
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ParrotSquawk:
To paraphrase Pink Floyd...the Java's in the path...

I used a setpath batch command to put java in my path statement when I went to a CMD prompt as the BIN folder was not in there by default.

F:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\ is where my java app is

I created a batch file called setpath.bat in my rooting dir.

path=F:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin; %PATH%

(windows)R CMD<enter>

cd \rooting (my dir for rooting files)

setpath.bat

etc...

....

then I run the commands in order.

HTH:);)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tr0llica:
i didnt get it

.bat file should only from this one line? : path=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin; %PATH%

nothing else?

and i want to just unbrand not to root...

thx
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ParrotSquawk:
bat file is just that one line. all it does is add java to the path for that CMD session.

As for unbranding, je ne sais pas...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PSSurgenor:
Okay, I dont want to rock the boat, but im only interested in debranding, can i follow the instructions up to 5 to get me on to Generic X10i R1FA016 firmware, then just run SEUS as normal to update me to generic 026? Is this correct?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
That is correct yes.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] paulorkt:
Need Help!

First of all, my congratulations for this tutorial. Very well described and easy to fallow.

I own a Xperia X10a and fallowed all the steps. In the end, I still got the X10a model number and R2BA023 Build.

Then, I tried to update to R2BA026 using SEUS but it says I already have the latest firmware. I thought I would have no problem updating the software via SEUS or OTA.

When the 2.1 update release, will I be able to upgrade using SEUS?

How can I return to my original firmware? I wanna try to install the generic south america firmware, but I dont know where to start from.

Could somebody help me, please? :(

Update after rooting

First of the rooting process worked flawless.. thanks ..

just a query.. once the phone boots up it asked me to install pc companion and i did. it said it had an update and so i m running it as i type this.

my question is since i converted/rooted my phone from UAE Customized to UK Customized .. with the update will the phone go back to UAE customized? Although the custom rom for UK is flashed previously?? :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kimbashiva:
I mean I have done rooting for newbie. So my phone has R2BA023 right now, how can I get it to R2BA026? and one more question when I was rooting it show an error for busybox or something so when I install titanium backup I said it need busybox to run it and force close. what I need to do?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
See post 4 HERE

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] erick_o:
when i update my phone to android 2.1 do i need to unroot and then root the phone.... with this files??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
No.

You'll need to root if you want it rooted but it's more than obvious that these files are for 1.6, so would imagine this thread and the others will become obsolete in due time.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] goku16:
okay.... i was up to step 2 where the part it said something will pop on on my phone...

there's nothing on my phone to select T_T

any ideas people :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
I thought you said over on AF you were stuck at step 6. :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] neoone:
For everybody who stuck in first part

If you have win 7 x64 the best way to update your SE is instaling VMWare software and run virtual Microsoft XP .Good Luck !

PS Sorry for my bad english
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tasteslikeawesome:
Will only having generic global fw on 023 effect the 2.1 update? i know there's an 026 but that means reflashing again and if its a waste of time id like to know beforehand? btw i used this threads method of rooting to gen glo 023.

does this work for x10a R1FA014???? I JUST NEED TO DEBRAND THE PHONE so i should just do till step 1??????

How Eclain (2.1) debranding is different

Greetings,

Thanks for you in this thread for the help. I had my X10i debranded easily for the 1.6.

I got a new X10i with 1.6 and without debranding, I updated it through SEUS to 2.1. But since it is customized to middle east, there is no market.

I need to debrand to UK General if possible. Can I just follow the guide lines in this thread or do you recommend something different.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thorux:
Hey guys and girls. I have just rooted my phone following this guide. I take it it means its debranded now? I am a complete newbie when it comes to this sort of stuff >.<. Anyway I am looking to update to 2.1 but can I do it with this version the guide installs being R2BA023? As I said I am sorry if it is a silly question but I am terrible with these things.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
Yes it's debranded. You'll find all you need to update here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825675
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thorux:
Right so if I just download that "Global World Firmware 2.1 Version with x10Flasher 2.1" and follow the instructions I will be able to get 2.1? Sorry to be a pain mate.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
Yes, pretty similar to what you've already done putting 023 on.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thorux:

Does anyone have an idea why permission denied in step 2?

Why is there no menu?

Press any key to continue . . .

Never-the-less I get the screen, and I can choose option#6 update by package in SDCard(for debug).

BUT i only get half way through after I choose this.

It does the First circle, then the second circle. and after the second circle finishes, my phone boots up normal. [NOTE now it seems as if the second circle does not do anything it just comes up and then reboots]

During both the icon on the screen is an open box with an up arrow coming out of it.

I see no data moving in the bar on circle#2, It just reboots, after about 3 seconds, and my phone boots up normally.
