I'm not sure if you've figured out the issue but you may have make the 301kOhm resistor usb adapter thingee (that's a technical term btw) in order to get into download mode. I'm on my phone or I would get you a link, I believe it's in the Development section.

Can someone please post how to flash your update to 2.1...

im, sry for nagging, but ive posted for help on several threads and still noone replys. and there's too many threads about 2.1(optimizer, flashing, etc...) and its confusing which software to download and you get the idea...

im not very tech savvy, so i would greatly appreciate if someone posts a detailed yet simple explanation on how to flash your xperia x10 to 2.1 from 1.6.

it'll only take 20 min of your valuable time tops, and it will help a LOT of people who are still confused on how to do it get android 2.1.

oh and if this helps a little...

hey guys thanks for all the help, i looked at that thread and the same problem, it links to other threads which tell me to do other things like disable uac in vista, what is uac lol?

then it wont work in java or something, etc...

and there's like 3 different files to download

its very confusing.

can someone with a windows vista computer tell me exactly how they did it with a link to the most up to date flasher?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
UAC.

ok, so i believe that one has the most up to date flasher right?

so i disable UAC by going to MSCONFIG and hitting the disable UAC then restart my pc

then i go to the thread linked at the top, download the 2 files, extract everything. put the firmware downloaded into the empty firmware folder. hit the .bat file. hit the values it asks me for(3 for vista, yes for delete user data, and xperia x10)

then when prompted to, turn off my x10 and plug it in while its in flash mode and it'll do the rest right?

am i missing anything?

ok, so im gonna do all of this on tuesday, since i have a chemistry and a physics exam next week and need to study for them. So i will tell you guys how it went on tuesday.

one last thing though...how about backup?i have my contacts and calender synced with the SE servers but if i want to restore them i have to do it manually which takes hours.

can i use the default backup and restore app? any suggestions?

thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmaximax:
suggestions for backup use MYPHONE EXPLORER 1.8 and connect using/installing the supplied apk (you will find it in the myphone explorer installation folder)

once connected copy/sync all your contacts and backup your messages (you can also backup your other stuff like photos,music etc but they are on your sd anyway)

once you have done this use oneclick root app on your 1.6 such as UNVERSAL ROOT etc to root your 1.6 and then use Titanium backup to do a FULL BACKUP of all your apps and data settings :)

If your not sure about using the flasher program as suggested above then use the method Simple way to switch from one 2.1 version to another method by editing your build.prop etc files using root explorer in conjunction with SEUS yep its still a little more messing but it works pretty well on just about any machine that can run SEUS :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apr1000:
1 last thing i forgot about, i have SEUS and pc companion installed on my PC, should i delete those or will the flash program still work with them on my pc?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i5aac:
I have rooted several incredibles and moto droids. So when my roommate asked me to root his desire,i figured "no problem"

Well...problem.

Naturally,i figured I would unrevoke it and be done with it. Not so. Got the dreaded "validation error: backup cid not found"

Searched forum and came across Goldcard. Made one and downloaded a .80 ruu (hboot version). The phone tried to load my newly acquired and renamed pb99img file, only to abort it because it was a verizon ruu or something. So I tried to find an alltel version, but the only one that comes up is what is already in the phone (.98 hboot)

Am I screwed?

Thanks in advance...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionstream:
Hello, I was trying to flash my phone using ODIN and Eugene's 2.2 ROM. Things were going well, until I accidentally nudged my computer, which apparently has a very loose USB port. ODIN tells me that the phone disconnected. Plugging and unplugging the phone again would not work, so I was forced to do a battery pull. I am now stuck at the Phone /!\ PC screen, and the Volume Up, Down, Power button sequences do not work. Am I totally screwed?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quest4fire:
No, youre not screwed. Remember that the Vibrant is nearly impossible to kill. Reboot and hold both volume buttons + power at the same time and when you see "Vibrant" on your screen turn to black then let go of power and Download mode will pop up. Then do Odin.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyrcks9901:
My phone went to that screen as well. Didn't get there the same way but here's what got me to download mode...

Pull battery, sim card, and sd card. Put battery back in but do not turn on. Plug usb cable into computer and phone. Start Odin. Hopefully your phone shows the charging image, now hold both volume buttons and power button until the vibrant screen comes up. Immediately release the power button, keep holding other two buttons. It should boot into download mode.

Flash with Odin like normal and then replace sim card and sd card. I had to do this twice yesterday.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionstream:
Unfortunately when I plug in the USB cable after putting the battery in, it does not show the charging screen, but the Phone /!\ PC screen. Additionally, starting up the phone while holding the Volume Up, Down and Power buttons also brings me to the same screen. It seems like my phone is the kind that does not have the 3 button download mode option. Is there any other way to get out of this screen?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyrcks9901:
Well, I've never had that situation but I'm pretty sure it's fixable. The Vibrant is almost impossible to brick.

You'll gave to keep searching and wait for someone more knowledgeable than me...

Well the help is much appreciated anyways! I hope I don't have to hack a microUSB cable with soldered resistors and such. Does anyone have any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkdawg:
i just fixed my phone when it was like that, just plug the usb cable in, hold both vol buttons and the power button, it may take a minute or so, but you will see your screen go completely black, let go of the power button and keep holding the vol buttons, and you will get in download mode, trust me, i panicked just like you, just keep trying it, it took me about 30 minutes to get in download mode
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionstream:
Thanks for the advice! Should the battery be in while I'm doing this? If so, should I put the battery in before the usb cable?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkdawg:
yes put the battery in, and then plug in the usb cable
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionstream:
Heres whats happening right now: when I plug in the USB cable, hold down the Volume Up, Down, and Power buttons, a few seconds later the screen will go black, at which point I unpress the power button. But this does not bring me to the download mode, it just brings me back to the error screen. If I press all 3 buttons again, as before eventually the screen will turn to black, but it will always bring back the error screen. It also behaves the same whether the USB cable is plugged in or not. I suppose this is progress, but am I doing something wrong? Arent I just supposed to let go of the power button when its black?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velocity92c:
I am having the same problem except I am only getting the Vibrant screen. I have been trying to fix this for hours, and am about ready to go swap the damn phone out. It is literally driving me crazy. NONE of the methods to get to download mode are working.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drustafa:
[A] I'm screwed, arent I. (Brick, Phone ! PC, no download mode)

From what I hear, 1 in 3 Vibrants won't go into download mode in this situation. Mine does it just fine, my buddy's phone - no dice. I bricked it, so I fixed it. The solution was the spare micro usb + solder + 301k resistor(s). It worked perfectly, the 1st time. I'm a skeptic turned believer! It cost about $8.00 for the cable & resistors at Fry's Electronics.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionstream:
Sigh, I guess I'm going to have to build this thing then, which is great because the nearest radio shack is 5 miles from my place. Ah well, better than having no phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] All~G1:
I commend you in your efforts! Once you get out of this you'll be truly unbrickable. GL!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionstream:
I was discouraged by the fact that I was far from a Radio Shack, but I looked online and it turns out you can actually create a resistor by drawing a line in pencil on a piece of paper. I have a multitester and stripped phone wire, and was able to duct tape the wire on specific points to get 302Kohms! Unfortunately thats where the project stopped, because I don't have a spare microUSB cable to butcher haha. And a friend offered to drive me to radio shack so I don't have to be the poorest electrician ever.

I might still try that method though! Just for kicks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whitehawkx:
Try this

Ok, so I see some ppl offered advice on how to get into download mode. That is great, but I found their methods to be very different from mine. So give this a go and see if it works before you go into MacGyver mode.

Please note: DO NOT PRESS THE POWER BUTTON EVER DURING THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Take back cover off phone

2. Remove the battery

3. Plug the USB into your computer, and then the other end into your phone.

4. Hold down both volume buttons (do not press the power button!) and while holding them both down put your battery back in.

5. Hold in place for approximately 2 seconds.

You should now be in download mode. Keep in mind, you said that your usb on your computer is "loose." Be extra careful not to bump it or anything b/c if the phone isn't being recognized as plugged into a computer download mode will not work. Hope this helps! :)

I got back to stock via odin. I tried to re root and it will not let me. When I do adb reboot recovery I click on reinstall packages and it takes me to cwm recovery. I then click instal from sd card and click on update.zip says it installed but didn't after reboot.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skaikey:
Hi, I had that problem before, here is what I did to fix my vibrant. take sim, microSD, and battery out of the phone. Connect the microusb and turn on odin. hold down volume+, volume-, and power down. while holding them down put in the battery and it should get to download mode once boot. also odin should detect it.

Hope that work.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionstream:
I have returned! Unfortunately none of the many volume up/down button techniques were able to get me into download mode, as I must have a hardware locked phone. Fortunately though, I was able to get a ride to Radio Shack, where I spent 27 dollars on a microUSB adapter, a pack of resistors and solder. The adapter and solder I didnt even use. I twisted together 3 100kohm resistors and 1 10kohm resistor (my multitester read 305kohm total, I guess thats the 5% tolerance). I never ended up using the microUSB adapter because when I cracked it open, I couldnt find pins 4 and 5, so I cracked open the samsung USB cable that came with the phone. Plugged it in, tapped the two ends of the resistors awkwardly to what I beleived to be 4 and 5, and it worked! First thing I did was get Eugene on there, put the casing back on the USB cable (which still works!) and then marked that USB port to never be used again. The phone works great now! Thanks to however discovered that 301Kohm trick, you are a life saver.

Thanks all! :D

I need help, please.

I upgraded to the Oficial Froyo 2.2 today and everything went fine, rebooted the phone with no problems.

After that I used SuperOneClick to root the phone.

The process was ok, at least I believed that, but a few hours later, after a reboot the phone kept rebooting time after time.

It shows the S Samsung logo then vibrates one time, after a few seconds it vibrates 3 times in a faster way... it does that a few times then reboots again.

I have no working 3 buttons, can't get into download or recovery mode.

Is there anything I can do?

Why did this happen??

I would very much appreciate your help.

It is likely I will buy this instead of a Galaxy Tab. Anyway, I have a Vibrator, G2, and MyTouch 4G. Actually selling the G2 and keeping the other two. Why you might ask? I wanted the extra RAM in the MyTouch, G2 was a bit bulky for my tastes, although the keyboard was pretty sweet.

The truth was I needed to sell one either the Vibrator or the G2 and the G2 brought more cash so that was the one I chose to sell. Even though I much rather would have kept it instead of the Vibrant.

It's cool CM will be on MyTouch 4G soon enough!
