[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mattiL:
Yes, of course. You can always reflash.

For example, I had my X10 rooted with the 5 step root method, firmware version 026.

Then I decided to reflash with the new, easier, method, One click root.

So I used SEUS to reflash my phone to 026 and installed the apk for One Click Root, and ran

the rooting apk.

Worked perfectly.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mattiL:
The answer is NO.

Until our programming gods have broken the boot loader, we are bound to SE delivered stuff.

But rooting will allow you to remove some of it..

i cant find USB\Vid_0fce&Pid_adde\ while my phone is connected with usb.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Snapfizzle:
Thanks Matt. I have flashed to 023, but still having bad battery life. I've turned down brightness, and have minimized use. I use 3G mainly for web searches, and listen to music sometimes.

Any one have any idea how I can get more life out of the battery?

Thanks,

Thanx, it is finally clear to me. Is SE the only phone where the bootladere needs to be broken? I thought the Desire can turned to 'native' with Open Desire(or something like that?).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vitalemontea:
i did step two and opened it didnt press anything but the screen with the list didnt show up
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vitalemontea:
this is what i did, i even started from step 1 again and it still has the ! mark with the phone D:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vitalemontea:
okay i am at the LAST STEP ! the last step is :

Next, turn the phone on (if it doesn't turn on, unplug the USB from the phone, and try turning it on again, then plug the USB back in). Put it in USB debugging mode if it's not (if you forgot how to, look back in #6)

Open step5.cmd

After it's done, press the left button on the the phone, go to Settings>About phone and under Model number it should say X10a

so i opened step 5 and checked my USB debugging mode is on and i open step5.cmd but nothing happens? it says error device not found help me please !

its the last step !
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Snapfizzle:
Bluetooth DSP?

I noticed something after flashing to 023. No matter what BT headset I use now, it seems the DSP is not working anymore? What I mean is that it is not filtering the background noise anymore. Has anyone noticed this?

I tried 3 different BT headsets and all 3 work properly on my previous phone (filters out the background noise), but all 3 on this firmware does not filter the background noise.

Any one know if there is anything I can do about this?

Thanks,

Broken battery?

I am getting two to three days out of my battery now. Rooted. 026. I use advanced task manager to turn off stuff. One click widgets to turn off wifi when not in use.

If your doing all of that sort already, you might have a "sick" battery?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TrietHocNhanSinh:
X10A and rooted. Now I would like to upgrade my phone from R2BA020 to R2BA026, without doing the hard coding (via command prompt panel)

Please please help!!! I am not a computer or tech geek, right off the bat.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
Read the first post!, it's actually quite simple.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TrietHocNhanSinh:
Is / are there any easier way(s) than doing it via command prompt?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
Nope. Follow the instructions and you won't go far wrong.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] solo13:
Thanks it worked for me , after doing this i connected my X10i to SE Updater , and i got the update 026.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] katinsh:
THANKS!

MANY MANY THANKS! That is the KEY of this process! And where in the topic IS NOTHING said about this STEP
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Pyls:
Well you should change it to:

Make sure that your SD Card is mounted on the phone.

And do NOT mount it to your computer!

Many people get errors like i had becouse they unmount sdcard on phone.

And the commands the dos file gives you is "adb push XXXX.XX ./sdcard.

So the program tries to copy something to your sdcard and it cant do so if you unmount it on the phone.

Okey :).

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Sickly:
Hey guys,

I feel like a bit of an idiot posting this but I'm at my wits end. I'm trying to get the phone ready for updating as outlined in step 1 - but my phone is not staying in the flash connection mode after holding down back and starting up the phone. It will boot up after about 30 seconds. During this time, Sony Updater cannot find my phone and is waiting for it to connect. The regedit search reveals nothing. I've also tried running the java file to find my device ID during the time before it turns back on, and am left with a blank window.

Does anyone know what's happening? I'm running XP 64bit.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TrietHocNhanSinh:
So, only use the Ctrl + F after or during the flash mode, correct? Finding the device ID directly from the phone correct?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
BEFORE!!! Read the post slowly, then read it again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] x10Mike:
Thanks.. spent a lot of time studying the steps before proceeding! Worked first time and successfully.

Great write up and simple when done slowly and carefully.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
And that is also "key".
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TrietHocNhanSinh:
By "Newest firmware" it'd be the R2BA026 right? or the R2BA023. Mine's X10a, do I have to perform the step for "X10a Only" ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hsv23:
I can't even get the device id. I searched the registry and ran that jar file and nothing. The jar file is just a grey screen.

I installed that software to get the drivers but no luck.

Any ideas?.

Ps. I have latest java installed and battery was full, there was something about setting the right file path for something in one of the help threads, which I don't understand.

This is for my friends phone BTW.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] superkew:

I did this all last night.

Had to do the Java updates on my Win 7 64bit. Worked perfectly.

Hey guys, i'm new here and i was wondering if someone could help me out with my phone please. well i have a Sony Ericsson X10i, BaseBand Number: 1.0.14, Build Number: R1FA014, and when i took off the battery i found out: Prototype Buil: AP2. does it mean that i bought a prototype that cant be updated or anything else? i used the universalAndroot and it says that my phone is rooted. anyways back to the topic. i did all the things that you told us to do! when i start the step1 and put my phone on flash mode and click on enter it gives me an error saying that my java 32-bit cant run on AMD 64 blablablabla. i have an HP HDX 18t, Running Windows 7 64bits + SP1 Beta. so please i need help. Thank You.

Where did you buy it from?

Can you post a screenshot of what it actually says?

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

can i upgrade to latest firmware (026) via SEUS and then go directly to step 7 or do i have to follow all the steps and get 023 instead.. in that case after rooting can i use SEUS to upgrade to 026? will that complete the rooting of my SE X10i? a prompt response will be appreciated. thanx :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] musab2346:
btw m already on step 5 (almost 1 n a half hour already gone since the cmd thing started :() after it is completed can i just update to 026 via SEUS and move on to step 7? or can i simply go for this (FULL UPDATE FROM ANY ROM ANY VERSION - ROOTED R2BA026 - with new keys) after step 5 is completed? i am going to wait for your reply until then won't be doing anything after step 5 is completed.. quite scared to mess up my phone while experimenting lolz!

also is it essential to have mmc inserted for step 6?

1.Yes.

2.As it's UK generic your flashing to the phone first I'm going to say no.

That will be your best bet.

I'd try starting over, shouldn't be taking that long.

Clearly.

No, but if from the question above about having the SD card in means you took it out before starting then that will be why.

I know I'm going to get some heat or jokes for this thread so let me explain.

Is there any touch up paint or way to cover this with something that will match perfectly? This may seem silly, but I try to take care of my phones and yes I do have a case, but when I dropped it it wasn't on and this thread would have never been created LOL If anyone knows of anything plz let me know thnx

[Nexus One Accessories] MaximReapage:
I asked this question about a month or so ago and never got an answer. GL
[Nexus One Accessories] SurrealNetworks:
Golden (or silver?) Opportunity...

I love the color of the N1, so I understand your desire to find a way to touch up the aluminum. Honestly, any paint you use will more than likely look like crap, like it's been touched up. Since the beautiful stock finish has been ruined, why don't you use a buffing wheel to polish the aluminum frame to mirror finish? Ha, I'd love to see what it looks like but I'm unwilling to polish my "precious" since its finish is still perfect.
[Nexus One Accessories] DrJB:
Thnx for The responses i'll pass on the polishing lol anyone else?
[Nexus One Accessories] Goonish:
Polish the sucker, if the scratch is that annoying.

Would be very unique!
[Nexus One Accessories] Jyveafk:
Get some toothpaste, and whilst sitting there watching telly, just buff it.

It'll smooth out the scratches, and if it doesn't look good, you've got a good base to then use something else on.

What to put on? tbh, don't know. With it being plastic, you'll need to spray some primer on, but then you can put any colour you want on, or just spray lacquer to protect it, give it a shiny look.
[Nexus One Accessories] Flippy125:
Polish and post pics =D
[Nexus One Accessories] pongalong:
You won't get it truly perfect and unless you already have the tools it wouldn't be worth getting them.

You'd want to use a very very fine sandpaper to polish down the scratched area if necessary. If the surface is still even, don't bother with that step. Then goto your local hobby store and pick out a matching color, but more than likely you'll have to buy several and mix them. Load the paint up in an airbrush and carefully spray your phone (I'd recommend wrapping it up and only leaving the afflicted area exposed).

I've done this for a bunch of electronics and if you do it right they'll look pretty close to new. I've had the hobby tools from when I was a kid, but it really wouldn't be worth doing unless you already have them or kind of know what you're doing. I'd say just get a case and cover it up.
