I found resolution with my ATT x10 using non-GUI flash tool and generic 2.1 x10a firmware.

I now have mine upgraded to 2.1...now on to rooting ;)

I ran across two errors in mine after an all day ordeal and going over all steps several times...then going back to the start.

Issue 1 was that I had not noticed the dialog box after I answered question 1 in flash tool said that the "file was not found" so I had to go into edit mode for the flash tool.exe file so I knew what file it was loking for and where it needed to be...for some reason it was not there so I had to relocate it ...then all worked except the phone would not reboot after the flash....

After backtracking all steps, I took a look in the firmware folder i had moved to the flash tool and found that all the .sin files were not there...I found the original 2.1 generic firmware folder and copied ALL the files to the firmware file in the flash tool folder...

It flashed and booted and I now have 2.1. Camera works but I have lost a few of the programs I had added so will have to go back and get them.

Now I can use the device for a camera, gps, pda, etc without a SIM card like I could the TIlt I had which was a big reason for my wanting to unblanket it from ATT's lock-n-key.

Now on to Z4 for rooting....once the battery charges.

a little dumb question...

Hi, as the title of my post says...is a little dum question..but as i have my phone usb broken...is there a way to flash the phone without usb??...i am pretty sure that the answer is no, but who knows i still have the little hope that may be one of those genius that are around this superb forum has got it to work, if not...well...all of us know what is the future of my phone :) .....STUCK in actual firmware...

Thank You

I have used z4root and it worked a treat for me, and I have no clue, how to Thank the person you wrote it here on htis forum.

Anyone care to tell me how to Thank someone or if they even have a "donate" button someplace and I wouldn't mind sending a buck or two. Thanks.

Hi!

I'm no expert, but I also would say, that there is no other method for flashing except via USB. Even the official patches from SE come through SEUS/PC Companion, and they also use USB.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Imdking:
Well, after days upon days of failing to find the xperia on the GUI flashtool, I finally ent for the NON-GUI tool. Of course I had the initial stumbling of the sin files ot being found, but the tool did find the xperia in a blink! Then I finally figured out that all 10 sin files had to be loved to the existing firmware folder. It started flashing, but it would on "sending loader.sin" for over half n hour. Then the next one would take forever, and MacDonalds was closing down for the night, so I had to abort. Wil try again tonite, or tomorrow when I get to South Africa.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Herr Noobien:
Guys, where is the option to delete userdata with the GUI version of the Flashtool?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] batman_112:
It is in the non-GUI version.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Herr Noobien:
So I don't need to delete userdata if I'm using the GUI version?

EDIT: lol never mind. Just used the non-gui version, quick and very easy to use :)

I flashed my ATT with the .BAT rather than the Flash.JRE and that worked. Selecting the JRE never worked. The FLASH.BAT worked fine. I have 2 X10's.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] drunken_m:
Hi!

As far as I know, there is no "official" version of the Flash Tool for Linux. But since Java is used for flashing, I'm guessing, that it would also work under Linux. You just have to rewrite the .bat file with shell commands (I could do that if someone will test it for me).

But Bin4ry should correct me if I'm wrong :)

Happy New Year!

in linux not "USB\Vid_0fce&Pid_adde\1&23cfa456&7&8", and hence in DeviceID.txt will not be 1&23cfa456&7&8 because of this X10flash.jar not working

[dik@dik ~]$ lsusb |grep Sony

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0fce:312e Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB

1&23cfa456&7&8 not 0fce:312e

.bat file and I myself can be rewritten. The problem in the Java application.

but I can check what you write.

sorry for the translation
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] drunken_m:
Hi!

The .jar file only uses the DevID, the .txt itself is generated from the .bat - so basically you just have to leave out the part where the deviceid.txt is generated and put your own value in the file manually.

Now I see what you mean... we will have the problem with this part of the .jar (have a look in the source from the first post):

import com.sonyericsson.cs.generic.c.c;
import com.sonyericsson.cs.usbflashnative.a.a;
...
System.loadLibrary("USBFlash");
[B]my_a = com.sonyericsson.cs.usbflashnative.b.a.a();[/B]
...
BufferedReader bufferedreader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("DeviceID.txt"));
str = bufferedreader.readLine();
bufferedreader.close();
catch(Exception exception) { }
[B]String device = (new StringBuilder()).append("USB\\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE\\").append(str).toString();
my_ch = my_a.openChannel(device, false);[/B]
System.out.print("\n\n");
System.out.println("Found Xperia at: "+ device);

That's about as much Java as I understand... If Bin4ry has got the time, or some other talented Java programmer maybe they could look at it. I guess the "openChannel" function from com.sonyericsson.cs.usbflashnative.X could work the same way, we just need to pass it the correct "device" value (maybe only alter the "Sting device = " line?).

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
The problem is not the usb communication, the biggest problem ist the USBflash.dll which cannot be loaded correctly on other systems except on Windows.

So if someone of you is willing to rip out this dll and show me how the lowlevel communication with the Phone works i can port the tool to other Linux too.

But i'm not willing to do this hard work :P (Too lazy and too much other work to do).

Actually eodille had made much progress to X10FlashGui Version in my abstinencetime and i have a few ideas for making the detection better which have to be tested before a compiled version will be available for you.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Your device drivers are not installed properly. Be sure that SEUS has detected your phone in flashing mode and installed the drivers.

@ALL:

New version will come soon.

Layout is the same like on "old" Gui Version, but under the hood nearly everything

is new ;)

- eodille had an good idea about deviceid detection and he tries to get it running.

- Also now drivers are included.

- AND xRecovery installation right out of Flashtool is now possible :) (thanks Z ;) )

Flashtool downloads and installs the always newest Version of xRecovery and busybox etc. :D

-etc.

I will add this weekend an option to upload and backup CustomRoms for xRecovery out of flashtool to the phone too.

So cross fingers for eodille's idea -> if this works i hope nobody has problems with deviceid again ;)

ETA: when it's done ;)

Is the GUI tool only for Windows? Can I use the NoGUI tool in OS X?

I want to root a 2.1 copy, making my capable to remove the clutter leaved behind by my operator.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
No OS.X will never be implemented sorry. The Problem is that a dll must be loaded, and because of this you need Windows.

I wrote 1 Site before, unless somebody rips the hell out of usbflash.dll and shows me how i can talk on lowlevel with the phone directly i cannot implement other OS like windows (because orignal flasher only works in Windows too).

So you need some VM or Bootcamp or smth. like that and boot windows to flash your phone.

If you only want to root there is no need for the Flasher. you can root using z4Root.apk

Hey guys, My friend just got the Aria for AT&T and I have suggested Unrevoked as I did for my EVO. The question I have is simple, If he roots with Unrevoked, will that bypass AT&Ts block on Unknown sources for apps?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FFXTDS:
I don't think so. You can use HTC aria sync version 3.0 to install 3 party apps. Its on the aria forum here. Or just flash a different ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoManOfFuture:
For some unknown reason, my USB port on my EVO has decided to stop working. It charges perfectly, when connected to either my PC or wall charger. The port is in perfect condition, no issues with the pins, I have tried multiple USB cables, and personally use the provided HTC cable. I have also plugged my phone into multiple computers, all resulting in the same issue, I have even flashed PSFreedom recovery on to my phone, and tried jailbreaking my PS3, that doesn't even recognize my phone. Bottom line the issue is the phone

As far as my phone goes, I have full root with NAND unlocked, S-Off. I had been running CM6 with snap 7.6, for a long time, until the terrible battery life was too much to bear. I have since flashed BakedSnack, a stock rooted 2.2, and CM6.1 RC1, with multiple kernels, all leaving me in the same position.

I have tried Calkulins USB fix multiple times, I have reflashed my radios as well to no avail. I have updated hboot, multiple times, originally (when problem started) I was on 0.73.2000, later upgraded to 0.76.2000, tried 0.79.0000, and even 0.93.0000, with no luck from any of them. I should also take this time to mention that I receive the same message, USB device not recognized, even in hboot, and in recovery.

I have reflashed my misc partition, to hopefully fix the issue, and still it did not. I have flashed the 2.2 root PC31IM.IMG, still with no luck, and have essentially rerooted my phone.

At this point I have crossed many possibilities off the list. It is not the cable, my computer, my Rom, my kernel, hboot, my misc partition, and not likely the USB port as the phone recognizes that theres a usb cord attached to the PC (on certain Roms/kernels only). For example, with stock CM6, nothing, phone doesn't even recognize USB, with CM6 and Snap (Any version) the phone recognizes the USB is connected and offers USB Storage.

I Suppose one of these things could still be the issue, maybe the misc partition isn't taking my flash. I have flashed multiple times though with the appearance of success. The only thing I haven't done is flash the update.zip fix for the HTC Desire at MaDaCo, which would be a terrible idea in the first place.

I'm running out of ideas, and would really appreciate any help on the matter at this point.

Thank you in advance,

Sincerely,

DoManOfFuture

Well you gotta know if u want to revert 100% stock, or just to Eclair (2.1) build.

Its just matter of purpose.

When you are dissatisfied with Froyo I suggest you flash JM9 (latest Eclair build) firmware, with proper CSC for your country.

When its a matter of 100% stock (warranty?), you'll need to remember which one was stock :)

If you dont remember, you always could search/ask with which firmware those devices come from distribution...

I need help with this NOW if anyone can. I figured I'd go ahead and make a thread for it so it would get seen. I was trying to update to 2.1 and something went wrong. Long story short the battery drained and now even when it's plugged into the wall all it does is flash its little red light. If I can get it to charge I think I can get things working again but as it stands I don't even know if it is charging. If I have it plugged into the wall and remove the battery the led turns green. If I put the batt back in afterwards it will go off after a bit and eventually "turn on" (in this case that just means that the screen comes on but is completely black but backlit) but there is no led indication at all so i don't know if it's charging or what. It doesn't seem to be. I really need help asap. Thanks in advance.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayman1986:
Just out of interest how long have you left it on the charge for? Because the red light flashes while charging until 10% and I remember once when my battery fully drained it did that for a few minutes until phone turned on again. Leave it for a while if you haven't done so.

The reason I ask is, incase you saw red light flashing and took it off charge straight away thinking its faulty? Like I said it sometimes takes a while to turn on fully when battery has died.

Edit: I know this is unhelpful, but that's why when you update via SEUS it says to ensure battery has 50%

But the phone won't even boot. Will the battery charge while it's off? or when it's on a black screen? I know 2.1 lets it charge when it's off now, but the OP said the update screwed up.

Other suggestions that may take some time:

1. Find someone else who has an X10 and charge it in their phone.

2. Bring it to your phone provider and ask them to charge it.

3. Bring it to your phone provider and exchange the battery (temporarily?).

4. Buy an external wall charger (one that lets you charge the battery directly, not in the phone).
