Help

Hey Pavan,

Can you please send me the links you have used to Update process.

Thanks,

Raj
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tat2messiah:
can anyone tell me why the world generic x10a file look different than the nordic or rodgers? instead of just for instance userdata.sin it is user data and alot more stuff then .sin at the end?:confused: I was also wondering what are the benifits of the generic x10a verses the nordic rom or rodgers rom other than changing the phone back to x10a? Problem solved :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saltorio:
Can someone please explain to me what is meant by this?

I've flashed my X10a numerous times (with Nordic Generic) over the past few weeks without issues, but I'm considering going to X10a World Generic next time I flash and I'd like to ensure there isn't something I'm missing when I do.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aznracer62:
Is it better to flash to the generic or to rogers with my AT&T x10a?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] clbick3:
Thx for the quick response. Looks like I hadn't installed the drivers in the first place. :p Sinse I'm a bit of a newb at this stuff, I was wondering if you could tell me how to install the drivers (I have the software.) Thx
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tony_C:
I chose the World Generic over Global simply because it put the phone back to X10a. I did not like the "feel" of Rogers.

2.1 is so much better than 1.6 any would be an improvement.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tony_C:
I downloaded PdaNet and run it any time I have a driver problem. It has worked every time for me.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] batman_112:
That has been now corrected. Download it again from the new link post#1 and it should work fine now.

Hope this helps!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] batman_112:
Either or. Whatever you want. I personally prefer the WORLD generic.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PavanSareddu:
Thanks for the Link,
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PavanSareddu:
Thanks for the suggestion, I came up with this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=714021 not sure whether it works for 2.1 firmware or not. It worked for 1.6 when I flashed my ROM. I need your opinion regarding the file structure for the 2.1 is same as 1.6.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] clbick3:
Cool thx I'll try it out.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] batman_112:
Did you remove your memory card and SIM card?

If you are using the new GUI version of flash tool, try using the older flash tool.

Hope this helps.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tony_C:
Try latest version 14.11.2010, GUI and non-GUi available.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aznracer62:
That's the file I downloaded from that link and that's the flasher I used. I did not remove my sim or memory card.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] batman_112:
Well, you need to remove them before flashing!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Che Kirila:
I flashed with SIM and SD cards both. No problems.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] batman_112:
Weird. I had to remove mine.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Che Kirila:
I've already done. If you checked post I noted in my message, you would see this:

"First I connected my phone in flash mode - like you know, turned off and holding Back button. PC asked me for drivers and I pointed ggsemc drivers folder."
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tat2messiah:
yes that took care of it thanks

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] theeedy:
@sam352: I have also Windows 7 64bit

And my X10i wont boot now! :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pietropizzi:
If Bin4ry didn't change the structure of the BAT file too much till yesterday it would work if you just rename the DevID Folders to DevIDx for example.

Of course you shoud fll the DeviceID.txt yourself before flashing !

Did the same yesterday but with the Nordic_Flasher for 1.6.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aussiesausage:
try setting it to "read only" mode, and leave it open.

it worked flawlessly for me, win7 64bit here aswell.

i was talking to bin4ry in the irc, and he gave me direct link to download his new flashtool and test it.

but its the same as the OP post, so should be the same
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jatt101:
can someone tell me how do i get device id?, i want to test this on my cracked x10 first
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Fusionicster:
A lot of people think that because the phone doesn't turn on as fast as usual that it's not working

You have to turn it on and leave it for a couple of mins for it to sort the new f/w out!

It was definately a couple of minutes before my phone showed any signs of life!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Fusionicster:
Nah that's not normal, in my case it was a picture of a camera going into the phone... it hung on that for a while, then on the sony ericsson logo for a while too

try reflashing!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pietropizzi:
@all with problems

IF you

- can not boot

- have yellow exclamation mark

- other problems (devceID, Java errors, etc...)

read first post of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=823115

Many of these problems are covered there.

You could also try flashing back to 1.6 with that package and let SEUS do the rest.

And LET the FLASH run till the very end ! Don'T pull the cable out if the java thing just pauses !
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aussiesausage:
Ok, i"ll do my best to write a small guide.

Make sure you have your 2.1 firmware inside the "firmware" folder.

1: press start and search "regedit"

2: click edit>find, and type in "Vid_0fce&Pid_adde". You should find "DeviceInstance". Copy the last section of that, it should look something like "5&2888d0ff&0&1"

2.1: If that fails to see anything, make sure "Match whole string" is un-ticked, and click "find next", if that fails, try "USB\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE"

Note: It changes with every diffrent USB port you use

3: Put that number into DeviceID.txt

4: Open up x10flash.bat, and answer the question (s)

5: switch off your phone, hold DOWN the Back key on your phone and plug your USB cable into the top of your phone, and press enter.

If done corrently it should start going through all these commands.

As stated above, it MIGHT take awhile to boot your phone at first, its not instant. Just give it time.

Hopefully i help, im useless at guides, but i try help out binary abit now :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rumel1988:
is this same as this(X10 SHIPPED 2.1 ROM) firmware? if yes! please can anyone upload it to mediafire? please... :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pietropizzi:
From jerpelea right now:

If you edit DeviceID manually --> rename the devid folders or it will be overwritten ! (with blank or maybe false id's)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pmw79:
Ok I'm having a problem. Can someone please help? I have X10a and want to flash the new X10a world generic. I originally used one of the online services (davinciteam... go ahead and laugh) to flash/ debrand my phone to 2.1. everything went fine but once I started going through the new menu on it I realized there is no Android market on it. I went online to find out how to download it but apparently the only way to have it is if it was part of the firmware. So the reason I went and use the davinciteam client is because everytime I would try to use this one it would say "Start Flashing..." then about a minute later the cmd screen would say this:

-= Xperia Flashing Tool by Bin4ry =-

Version: 5.11.2010

java.lang.NullPointerException

at java.lang.String.<init>(Unknown Source)

at X10flash.testPluged(X10flash.java:111)

And then it just sits there and does nothing (I've even waited up to 45 min without any results). I have done everything stated in the first post as well as removing both my SIM and SD cards and trying it that way.

My biggest problem in all this (and maybe the funniest) is that my wife has told me in the past not to mess with my phone like this and the longer it takes me to figure this problem out the closer I come to hear "I told you so!" from my wife. Please someone help!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] batman_112:
Here are some things to consider:

1. Try the old non-GUI version of flash tool.

2. You need to wipe USERDATA when you are prompted to.

3. Run SEUS at least once so that the drivers are detected and installed.

4. SEUS and PC companion should be closed while you flash.

Hope this helps.

5.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pmw79:
Where do I find the non-GUI version? I can only find the GUI version listed by Binary. Where and on what will I be prompted to wipe USERDATA? Thank you for your help.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] batman_112:
Here is the link for the non-GUI http://www-stud.uni-due.de/~sfanmakr...2.1-nonGui.zip

EDIT:

You should also disable "User Account Control" setting under Windows 7.

The non-GUI version should ask you "Wipe UserData? Y/N"

Got it. Flash completed. Everything looks good. Thank you very much for the help!

The non-GUI version seems much easier to use than the GUI version to me. Wished I would have just done that the first time.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] batman_112:
Great! Glad I could help! Enjoy your phone! :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aznracer62:
I used the non gui version also. I kept getting all sorts or errors with the gui version. With the non gui I got it on the first try.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] svenningtons:
Just updated to 2.1 cheers binary it's a different world!

Anyone having trouble with the gui version use the non gui version and all should be well. Only thing I had to do on my version was modify the batch file slightly so it would find loader.sin but worked great after that!

Brilliant work mate, keep it up!

Install SE PC companion and connect your phone. The drivers should be installed automatically.

BRICKED?

Please help.

I followed all of the instructions to a T, except I was running Windows XP from VMWare Fusion on my MacBook. Everything appeared fine, but when it got to the:

writeCmd2

in the command prompt over and over again, I noticed it was taking a VERY long time. It was about one minute and fifteen seconds between each command, almost exactly. I read that this might have been due to the virtual machine, or USB 1.1, so I thought "Okay, I'll hang in there". Well, two hours later, and it was still writing commands, line-by-line. I figured I'd go to sleep and check on it in the morning. I get up, and it's still going. One command every 1:15. After hour TWELVE, I decided that this wasn't going to fly, so I pulled the plug knowing full well I might be shooting myself in the foot.

I now have a Windows machine, but I can't get it to read my device in Flash mode, nor can I get the Registry to pick up the DeviceID. Can someone PLEASE help me with this, and warn others in the main post not to attempt this with a virtual machine? This is ridiculous.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dieorlivetrying:
RE:BRICKED?

Okay--I plugged it into a different USB port. Regedit still couldn't pull up the DeviceID, so I left it blank, and tried it anyway. It's definitely installing now, I'll keep you updated.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] webtop:
Awesome...took me a little time to get it right, but finally today I wiped and flashed my X10a (AT&T US) and am now running 2.1

If AT&T don't want us doing things like this then they should just release the firmware when everyone else does. After all, all they do is restrict it and add all their own crap onto it.

Thanks Bin4ry!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dieorlivetrying:
Great success. For anyone attempting to install this via virtual machine: BEWARE! Mine ran for 12 hours and still wasn't done, on a real Windows machine it took about three minutes without a hitch.

i tryed to flash but every time i open the flasher and connect the phone in flash mode..the phone stay a few seconds with the green light on and then it starts up and nothing happens . Any idea what i can do ??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tony_C:
Try the same thing with SEUS, if that starts to run, mostlikly a driver problem.

I've has success with PDAnet to get right drivers loaded.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] irritated619:
HOW??

Did you follow the directions at the beginning of the thread exactly or modify them at all? If they need to be modified, can you tell me what to change??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Che Kirila:
Just read my posts (since I had this problem and solved it myself) and posts of other members. If the flasher can not find the device, you should make your operating system to let the flasher do it. Drivers conflict, wrong drivers, outdated drivers, nonfunctional hardware (port or cable) - are the most common problems. Nobody can see what happens at your computer except you. I bet you never ever used "search" here, right?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Che Kirila:
A few seconds? In my case it stayed around a minute and then switched to regular mode. There is a delay for flash mode - if there is no connection of flashing program, the phone goes to normal mode. Look like your computer (and the flasher) don't see your phone in flash mode and your phone without this signal just reboots. The only thing that doesn't fit to this case is few seconds before switching. I used previous version of Bin4ry's flasher (without GUI). Some people reported problems with GUI version and Bin4ry added link with old version as well.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Che Kirila:
I did exactly what you described at two PSs and failed. But when I installed flash drivers only, it worked perfectly. So I agree with you that it is driver's problem, but in my case SEUS drivers or PC Companion drivers conflicted with flash drivers. I didn't dig deeper, but USBDeview program can give some hints what's going on. I searched for PDAnet, but found that it is an application for switching the phone to router mode. How can it help? Or do you mean another program?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] JeJupan:
with seus work great but says i already have the latest drivers only with flasher

i cant seem to get it to work
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Che Kirila:
In my case SEUS finally found update (maybe in your region it's not ready yet), but when I went to update, SEUS behaved just like the flasher - it wasn't able to find my phone and phone rebooted. So I concluded that there is similar problem for the flasher and SEUS both.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lavab:
Hi Friends,

OK, I recently shifted from US to India and got my Xperia X10a unlocked which is an AT&T locked device, which is on 1.6. Now I want to upgrade it to 2.1.

Is it possible to upgrade it?

If I want to upgrade do i need to root the phone?

If AT&T releases their 2.1 version copy and if i upgrade it will the phone gets locked back again to AT&T?

Please suggest.........

for this i have got few answers where i have got some replies saying how to do.....

this is how i tried doing but no changes in phone except a box installer and super user applications came in......

1. I downloaded flasher.

2. Downloaded generic firmware.

3. Extracted both of them on to my notebook which runs with windows 7 64 bit.

4. I have disabled User Acceptance option in my notebook.

5. copied the firmware (loader.sin is also available) totally 10 sin files.

6. Connected my phone to SEUS, before it asks for update i cancel that and run the x10flash.

7. GUI shows flash starting....., Command window will be blank for some time th4ren executes and displays some 10 lines. the last line in the command window would be with a word "java lang (or something this is what i remember)

8. Then I will press root, it asks to connect the phone in debug mode. now i disconnect the phone switch it on and select debug mode and connect back. then GUI installs Z4root application and asks to run it.

9. after running the application phone reboots and then i have pressed customize, shows some running lines in the GUI window.

10. then i have clicked clean, it cleans and says done.

11. nothing happens now no 2.1 is installed nor anything happened. only change i noticed is "super user" and "box installer" are added to application. other than that phone is normal.

Let me know what mistake i have done, as mentioned earlier i am on 1.6 version of AT&T and want to upgrade my phone to 2.1 with out locking it back to AT&T.

Thanks,

Lava
