flash on a mac

I've been trying to flash my x10a using the Flash GUI tool using Parallels on a Mac. It looks like the registry information is different running within the VM versus a stand alone windows install.

Looking a the non-GUI source it looks like the DeviceID is read from the file and then the StringBuffer is built to use the predefined registry entry and then the device id. I didn't see the GUI source available to try this myself, but after the try/catch block where the device id is read in could something like below be added to allow for us strange folks to be able to define the full registry path?

String device;

if (str.toLowerCase().startsWith("usb")) {

device = str;

} else {

device = new StringBuilder("USB\\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE\\").append(str).toString();

}

That way someone can put in the full registry path if it differentiates from the normal one from Windows running inside of VM's.

Hey guys ive been trying to learn how to get 2.1 on my xperia x10a from att

and on post 3 he post some clear instructions except the flash tool download didnt have a firmware file in it did i miss something?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
Use the nongui like I said on AF which has the actual folder. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hellsrage619:
Yes im gonna except my F-ing computer decided to update everything and annoy me about restarting the damn thing.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hellsrage619:
so i got the non ugi flash tool and the generic x10a 2.1 firm ware.

i put the firmware .sin files in the firmware folder then started the .bat file got to the point were it said please connect in flash mode then below it says searching for xperia so i hold the back button plug it in wait for the led then hit any key release the button the screen stays black then my computer makes a noise like when you type some where your not allowed to.

Then i check the bat files and all i see is it searching and a bunch of green dots.

Then in about 30 seconds my phone boots up and BAM nothing happens.

Am i missing files here i don't have seus if its required it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] batman_112:
1. Did you put the loader.sin file in the firmware folder?

2. You need to at least run SEUS or PC companion once to install the drivers. They should not be running while you are running the flash tool.

3. Disable all anti-virus/anti-malware programs before running the flash tool.

Hope this helps.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hellsrage619:
1 yes i did put them in their.

2 i have pc companoin and ive ran it do i need to run it again?

3 ok ill try that.

Dis you wait til this point to put you phone in flash?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hellsrage619:
That is what it looks like when i put in it flash.The phone wont stay in flash and i have know reason why.It starts then after about 20 sec the led goes off and the phone boots.And the deviceid.txt empty's it self as well.Also im using the non-ugi flash tool if that matters.As the one posted in post#1 didnt have the firmware file.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tony_C:
The phone will only stay in flash mode for about 30 sec. without activity, then it will proceed out of flash. Your phone is not being "seen".

Try SEUS, does it see your Phone?

You can also try Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine (beta) Diagnostics, Test USB Driver Status, the output should look like attached. There are others that also show the driver is OK
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hellsrage619:
SEUS picks it up and windows installed the drives and the flash tool also picks it up because it says it found my device and starts the flash.

Go to Settings --> About phone. Scroll down and you should see the Model number and below it the firmware version. If you have 2.1, it will say 2.1-update1.

Cant lock flash mode here's a solution.

Yahooo someone told me how to make it lock in flash mode i now haz 2.1!!!.

If anyone is having trouble getting it to stay in flash mode like me the following will explain a way to get it to lock in so it no longer boots back up after entering flash mode.

Your going to need SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) it will not work with PC Companion.

1.Start SEUS and go through the steps then when it tells you to enter flash mode do what it displays and explains to do.

2.Once its connect (and if its the first time installed the drives) let it scan the device it should stop and say that your device is up to date.

3.HIT CANCEL DO NOT HIT INSTALL then exit SEUS and the phone will now be locked in flash mode.

4.Run the flash tool and enjoy 2.1.

Hope that helps someone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] panyah:
Your reply certainly helped me. Now I have a question.

I have placed the Global generic firmware in the X10Flash-2.1\FlashToolRelease folder. I then launch x10Flash.bat from the FlashToolRelease folder which executes and displays the request form where you select our software. In my case there is only one (Global generic). I then press 'ok' and the system just hangs. My phone has only a 'green' light on.

How long did you have to wait before the flashing was completed? And were any information messages issued during the process?

Would you have any clues which may help me?

I have been trying all day to upgrade this phone. I am on AT&T.

Regards,

panyah
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hellsrage619:
If it didn't work and the phones fine then ill suggest you use this software.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85-WbEupcyg

The download links are in the info bellow the video it may take awhile for both to download but thats because they come with everything including a root software.Watch the vid he tell what comes with it.

1.Download both put them in separate files as they are very similar then lock the phone in flash as before and run the .bat file from part 1 (i haven't tried the one from part 2)

2.Follow the instruction and make sure when it ask if you want to wipe the data you say y (yes).

3.Then it will run for about 2-4min say its done press any key .bat file will close then hold your power button till the phone vibrates (which indicates its booting up)

4.When the phone loads you should see a camera with a blue arrow pointing down.Then just wait until it boots all the way up (will take about 2-5min) then go through the steps (enter google account,twitter,facebook ect.

TIPS:Also if you want to change your wallpaper hold down on the screen and select wallpaper you'll also have to choose att (for 3g) simply try and go on the internet (turn wifi off if its on) and it will ask you to choose a network.(Dont worry everything else works phone,text,internet ect. And all the data on your sd is fine but youll loose all your text/phone#s (everything on the sim chip).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] :
One thing wired is instead of showing 3G on the bar, it's a "H" on it.

(I noteced that some ppl also have this problem.)

hi. i have a x10a that is still locked with at&t, 1.6. i've completely setup the x10flash....zip but for some reason with i click on the .bat like it tells u to, my computer will pop up a window and then the window goes away really quick. no warnings, other pop up windows, no nothing. does anyone know what i'm suppose to do next? i have my java updated with jre and jdk 6u22. i added the firmware folder and put the stuff in that folder and made sure that it had loader.sin. i even added a deviceid.txt to the x10flash....zip folder because i never saw one anywhere in there and one of the guides was calling for it. so i'm at a loss as to what to do next. can someone help please? thanks

Open a cmd window and cd to the folder you put the flash tool run the bat from there the window will stay open. What error does it show?

Try the non-GUI version, the steps can be easier to trace errors.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] panyah:
Don't feel alone, I also have tried everything, but all I get is the process stuck trying to detect my phone. I even reloaded the SonyEricsson update (1.6) now I have to setup my phone again.

Here are the steps which got me to 'Trying to connect to XPERIA...' message.

1. Downloqaded fron CNET a program called 7-Zip which I used to unZip all zip folders and files (.rar and .zip).

2. Downloaded all suggested links to a flash drive.

3. The contents should be displayed.

3a. Right click X10Flash-2.1.zip a drop down list appears

1. Highlite 7-Zip and select Test archive

This process will verify that your download was successful or not.

If it was not, an error message is displayed containing where the error

occured (name of the component)

Do this for all .rars and .zip folders.

2. Next click on X10Flash-2.1 to display FlashToolRelease.

Now create a 'new' folder'. Name this folder what you like. This is

where you will place the downloaded 'firmware level'.

3. Once you have 'copied' your fitmware to this file, select it.

4. There should be ten (10) files, of which one should be 'userdata.sin'.

Note:

I encountered problems where my download of the 'firmware' would

'hang', and the download had errors. Generally the 'userdata.sin' file

was corrupted.

4. You may now try an update your phone.

I have tried over and over without success, and, am now about ready to give up.

Should you have success, please let me know how you acheived same.

I am on AT&T 1.6. Should I acheive success, I will post what I have done.:D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hellsrage619:
To all those having trouble with your AT&T phones like i did ive made a detailed guide (should be fool proof) on a different forum it uses different downloads that finally got mine flashed and running on 2.1 so give it a try and leave me some feed back if it works.Here it is hope this helps.

EDIT:@panyah Have you tried switching USB ports on your computer?

Did SEUS give you the proper drives?

If so when you run SEUS once it gets to then end cancel and exit DO NOT HIT INSTALL also DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR PHONE then run the .bat file i told you before or follow my new guide.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hellsrage619:
It doesn't have to be faster cause its an H that randomly changes between an E and a 3G symbol and thats more than enough for me cause my phone has H power the best in the world :p.

Stop! You wrote "zip folder"? I always unzip any archives first and have no idea how zip-integration works, but maybe it doesn't create virtual command shell with all the environment, just perform basic archive management tools transparently. Like you hit bat-file, it unzips it in a temporary folder alone and execute it. Bat-file doesn't see anything for its work and shows you its middle finger. Skynet wins.

Mmmmmph!

I'm losing my mind over here! I've spent 6.5hrs doing the "Easy Guide to debranding...", but the SEUS rewrites the large files everytime, no matter what! Pasted at 98%. 99%, didn't matter.

I think the problem is that the 100MB and 10MB files given in the guide vary too much by size from what SEUS downloads when I force the update. The total download is about 133MB, so the program replaces my replacements all the time! The larger file given for dowload in the guide is 111MB, the one SEUS downloads is 116MB. Could it be SEUS requires that size file only, and the guide's file is too small, or has AT&T inserted some code to defeat the flash?!

I am so sick of AT&T, I am at the end of my nerves! But SEUS keeps defeating me, every single time!
