is it possible to install this on a non rooted Epic 4G?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fyzm345:
this thread is open to help newbies to install the 2.1 custom rom with the simples way..

you also can discuss any problem here..

dont mess the dev thread with a dumb question...

thanks to "Perceval from Hyrule" for the original tutorial..

this is revise version for 2.1

INSTALLATION FOR 2.1 AOSP

Before attempting anything, make sure you have AT LEAST 50% of battery charge. Don't try anything with low battery, you can abort the flashing and brick your device !!!

Please make sure you're also running a 2.1 rom (Generic, nordic, official, custom...)​

1st step:

make sure your computer is adb debugging ready..

in case in need for command execution..

- Download Android SDK

You don't need to save the entire archive (but you can), you just need the Tools folder (because it contains ADB, the Android Debug Bridge we need to install files).

2nd step:

- On x10 :

Enable USB debugging (Setting > Applications > Development).

Root your device. easiest way by using z4root.

Download and install Busybox (from Market), make sure it says "Done!".

3rd step:

install xrecovery for recovery menu.

xrecovery a.k.a recovery menu

4th step:

option 1:

Download rom.

2.1 AOSP ROM (make sure 2.1 since this tutorial is for 2.1)

extract the rom (u will get 2 folder + 1 files)

upload the file into your sd card root(sdcard/*.zip)

rename the *.ZIP to Update.ZIP

*the 2 folder contain application which u can install if u like

option 2:

Download rom.

2.1 AOSP ROM (make sure 2.1 since this tutorial is for 2.1)

extract the rom (u will get 2 folder + 1 files)

upload the file into your sd card root(sdcard/*.zip) or in any folder u like

*the 2 folder contain application which u can install if u like

5th step:

boot into recovery menu (by restart and hit few times back button when "SONY ERICSSON" word appear)

backup your original rom(in case u want to restore next time)

hit full wipe

option 1:

hit install update.zip from SD card

option 2:

hit install custom zip

search for the custom zip in folder where u save it

hit the zip file

after reboot, u will get custom rom installed in your X10

good luck ;-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fyzm345:
TIPS

1-u can do like rendeiro2005 said by creating rom folder and put the rom collection in it..

so if u want to change or try other rom just choose zip file from the particular folder...

this require using step from option 2

2-another one, by creating folder which contain backup image..

u can collect your friends backup image and put in one folder..

if u want to try, just restore the particular image file using backup/restore option in recovery menu and choose the backup image file..

collection of custom rom backup file for recovery menu:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
Hi bro,

Only two calls on your excellent tutorial:

1. No need to put the rom in the root of the sdcard. I, for example, to distinguish the roms, I`ve created a folder "Rom" in the root and put the roms in there.

2. It is not necessary to rename the *. zip file.

When we entered the xRecovery, you can go to "install Custom Zip> zip Choose Custom from sdcard>" Now in my case I a. .. "Roms >........" and I intend to choose

;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fyzm345:
thanks for the info..

i forgot we have 2 ways of installing...

reupdate..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
it`s not a different way.

i think that way would be more simple (for me at least) `couse you can have different roms puted on the same directory without, everytime that you want to install one change his name to default.zip ;)

but...great TUT (clap your hands floks) :D:D:D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bluewall:
Since i haved installed the 2.1 AOSP, my recovery were deleted !

So i install the xrecovery.apk but it doesnt work (don't fin the SD Card), so i paste the 3 files with root explorer but nothing to do... the recovery doesn't work at all =(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fyzm345:

try repeat the paste 3 file and make sure the file is exist..

also when paste make sure u hit the mount r/w button in root explorer..

It says make sure you are 2.1 but I'm not im 1.5...... basically I'm stock X10..... and i want to flash so does it matter if I'm 2.1 or not. Because it doesn't make since that you say make sure your 2.1 but I'm flashing to get 2.1
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fyzm345:
hah...

get it...

actually, to make the xrecovery works, u need to use 2.1...

u can try this flashing tool and reflash your x10 into version 2.1 1st..

Just wondering

Hey guys

well i was trying to install 2.1 ASOP, but i notice that i cant do it because i have the dual boot to 2.2.1

Do you guys have a solution so i can use all 3?? :D or should i just reflash my phone to enjoy 2.1 ASOP or should i stay with my dual boot and play with froyo??
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
Install all 3?! Yes you can...if you want you can install WM and iOS:)

Now mre seriously.

If you want to install 2.1 you have to format sdcard to one partition only. 2.1 doesn't work with more than 1.

Then you can flash...follow this guide to do so;)

Hello all, first post here on XDA, but I know the rules.

To start this off, I was a lurker for a long time, before 2.1 came out, and when 1.6 was rooted, I immediately did it, so right now, I have a 1.6 rooted phone with busybox 1.17.1 installed. I'm on Rogers and I have various backup programs. One problem that I've run into is that the Market keeps force closing, which is a problem, but I've ignored it for a while.

Anyway, I want to update my phone a bit to 2.1 because I want flash quite simply, and if it resolves my current market problem when I do that then that's a bonus. I'm just wondering if this tutorial will definately work for an already ROM changed X10 (I have technically an x10i rom made to think it's an x10a rom.)

Thanks for the help.

EDIT: Also, I may want to just get the Cyanogen 7.0.3. Does this work for that too? Or not because it's 2.3 and not 2.1.

Hi All,

New Market application works with new 2.1. just tested

Previous update was not for X10 and didn't display icons properly. this version have no bugs like that, these previews are from my X10 2.1 rooted

v2.2.7:

• Refund window changing to 15 minutes

• New carousel with featured apps on main page

• Widgets and Live Wallpapers categories added

• Related content added to app page

• Single page app viewing, all info in one place

• Max size for apk files increased from 25 MB to 50 MB

Instructions

backup original market vending apk

clear cache of the old market (Go /Settings/applications/(remove filter and select all) select market application and press clear cache)

install this application like any other apk using file browser

Note:

My phone is rooted but im not sure rooting is required.

This is only for android 2.1 or above

Once installed open market and press menu/settings/ customized content filtering and notifications as preferred.

Some users have reported that at the time of clearing cache, market was automatically update to 2.2.7. if your one of those lucky users,:D this installation is not required

Even this is posted on X10 forum, any 2.1 android can have this update.:p

If you face any errors or fc after installation follow this method and see if its resolved. (only for the 2.1 version which already market available)

Go /Settings/applications/(remove filter and select all) select market application/ select clear cache

Go /Settings/applications/(remove filter and select all) select market application/ select uninstall update

Open Market and see if its auto updated. (because now market update is already rolled out to all the 2.1 users) if not redo the step 1 and go for step 4

install the new version on this post

Sign in to talk and open market.

Update:20.02.2011

New version 2.3.2 for Custom Rom users......

Install this via Xrecovery for the latest 2.3.2 version

Download: LINK

Note: before installation login to the market at least once from the original rom of the developer and update this. read the instuctions from the custom rom developer well otherwise you will get endless FC of the market app.

currently tested and working on 2.2.1 beta4, CM mod roms all 6.1.xxx

Guys,

I like to check if I do it the below method, will there be any problem?

1) I search for market.apk in System/Apps folder and remove it by using Root Explorer

2) I copy and paste the New Market file into System/Apps folder

3) I reboot the phone but the New Market did not install and still load the old Market

4) I went into System/Apps using Root Explorer and click to install

5) I click on the Market Icon and it manage to load the New Market

Anyone can advise me accordingly, thanks.

You dont need to play with root system directory. this will install on top of stock market as an update. (if you followed the method I mentioned. when you dont want it simply click uninstall update.
