except the same version of course, like: X10i_2_0_2_A_0_24_GLOBAL

2- root this version with z4root

3- install xrecovery

4- follow instructions from page one of this topic

5- good luck and otherwise use Search on this forum :p

does anybody have blurry contact picture problem when calling or receiving calls with this rom?

I tried to turn off sync, recreating contact and using high resolution pictures but still the picture shown on my call screen is blurry.

Is there a fix for it?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] LFCFredda:
Try an app called sync my pix. It will get facebook pictures to the phone and i think it will be better quality too.

By the way, I had some trouble with a sync icon after update and after testing everything i found the reason why it didnt disapeare. I used titanium backup (backup from old firmware) and restored sys data. Dont do that, just restore the apps and app data.

how to downgrade??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ab2nd2nd:
Credits to Michael Rydén, who sent me the instructions on another site:

"There is a way do downgrade to earlier firmware. Take a look att http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825664 to get the application and firmware you need. First download the FlashTool GUI, then download the appropriate roms for your version (Nordic for us living in Scandinavia). Then unpack the rom (directory caled mini) to the root of "FlashToolRelease" folder. You can rename the mini-folder to fx. "X10_2.0.A.0.504" to locate the version easier.

Turn of your phone and start x10flasher.jar (it's the program). Hit the flash button, and select the version you want (name of the folder containing the roms). Hold down "back" button on your phone as you plug in the USB-cable. Now it should flash you phone with the selected software rom."

The x10flasher tool requires that you have Sun's JRE (Java Runtime Engine) installed on

your PC.

I followed the instructions above and it did work for me.

Good luck

Can I flash 2.0.2.A.0.24_for_X10-flasher.tar.bz2 using xRecovery

Hi,

I am able to boot in to XRecovery and install update.zip

For some reason X10_Flasher is not able to find my X10. It just hangs at "Searching For XPERIA". Whereas SEUS is able to find it. I have tried with different computers. And I have downloaded drivers (USBFlash_driver.rar) installed them by right clicking on .inf file. Still the issue continued, so copied them Windows\System32, X10Flash-2.1\FlashToolRelease and C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\setup\drivers.

It's not working. So I am stuck.

1) Can somebody throw some light on this issue, please?

2) Can I flash 2.0.2.A.0.24_for_X10-flasher.tar.bz2 using xRecovery and bypass X10_Flasher?

Please help

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mortyx10:
for those who still have problem with the flasher....

this is a guide from the original flasher thread...worked for me...

NON GUI VERSION ONLY:

just some you need to consider:

1. don't forget the LOADERS.SIN file...

2. make sure your phone is connected to pc before trying to find your DeviceID

and use the same usb port for flashing...

3. I did take my battery off but the guide not saying it so you choose...

Thanks. I will try this out.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] agentJBM:
I'm not 100% and new to zip files, but based on what you typed I think it might be how you're handling the files. If I remember correctly after you download 2.0.2.A.0.24-rooted-zdz(2).tar.bz2, go to the location you saved the package through my computer. Right click on the package and extract the entire package to specified folder(create new). Once the files are extracted to the new folder, go into the new folder and you'll find update.zip inside. Don't unpack it. Just right click, copy and paste to your sdcard.

I hope this helps :-)

Can't get Xrecovery to work,

X10i

Software 2.1 update 1 (Rooted with Z4root)

Baseband 2.0.46

Kernel version 2.6.29 SEMCUser@SEMChost#1

Revision number 2.0.A.504

Xrecovery xRecovery-0.2-release Installed.

I do open up Xrecovery, get it open and in the window there is 3 blue dots shining and it says: This is going to install xRecovery on your X10.

When I click "install xRecovery" a message tells me that the program have been granted Superuser Permissions and the blue dots change to "roadsigns" no entry.

A # sign comes up in the upper left corner as a notification.

So far so good....Now I reboot my phone, following all instructions I possible have read.....clicking back button a few times when the white SE logo appears....AND, nothing happens....the phone boots up as normal...

What did I miss?

Hi, I'm new to this site and all the tricks. So is this compatible with x10a 1.6 FW?

My friend recommended me to this site and I am joyed with all this content. I am ready to learn some new tricks. Could you please help me? A reply or a PM would be nice!

Hey,

I have some time today and want to update my firmware.

Is 2.0.2.A.0.24 + JIT V2 faster etc than 2.0.A.0.504 + JIT V2?

And if the flasher won't work, can I still boot up my phone after installing the update.zip and go into xRecovery to restore my old ROM?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kamikazibole:
Hello,

Normally, you can flash your device with this ROM or any ROM, beccause the flash rewrite any file... but it isn't a problem... This rom use a xRecovery for the flash, and i believe that xReconvery required 2.1 :s

JIT2 is compatible with this ROM, not include (i think :rolleyes:)

If you have a backup (you have use xRecovery for backup ;)), you can restore system, data and cache :)

Sorry for my english,

I'm... a frog...

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kevjef420:
I was wondering if anyone has done this firmware update on a X10a north american phone.

Is there any issues? Does it cause your phone to say X10i in setting/about phone like to original 2.1 generic Nordic firmware did?

It looks like the X10a equivalent firmware has not been release yet.

I want this update but i am wondering if I should just wait till Rogers releases it and someone figures out how to root it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Flo95:
I think I read, that someone uses the firmware on a X10a without problems.

It should change X10a to X10i, but you can change it, when you change X10i to X10a in the build.prop (I think).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dachao:
I will work on your phone but not as good as the X10a firmware. People can say whatever they want but I know from experience. When the 2.1 update first came out I had the 10i firmware on my 10a and it worked. I only had 2 issues: the battery would drain very fast and when using my data network it would kill all my reception and place ans red X where it shows the bars.

Once the x10a firmware was available on XDA I flushed it on my phone and all the problems were gone.

If i do not use the phone phone a lot during the day the battery only drains down to 80% from 6:45 til 22:00.

That is just my experience.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kevjef420:
I agree with you on the battery life. My phone has been getting great life since the first 2.1 update. I guess I should just be patient and wait for the update to come out on X10a and be rooted.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] demigodseven:
Trouble and Then Awesome!

Hello I thought I would post my experience with getting this to work. After I installed the 2.0.2.A.0.24 firmware I realized that to have it root you now have to downgrade and use this method. After a long fight with some issue's I created with myself I got it to work with the JIT optimized. I now get a quadrant of max 840 so far with a min of 780. It is lightning fast and the stock SE keyboard doesn't lag for me.

1. I installed the Rogers ROM from here via X10 Flash Program by Bin4ry: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825201 (There are others there.)

2. Rooted with z4root (I could not find the z4root on market but in the X10 Flash Program by Bin4ry in the Custom folder/root There is the .apk file for it. I dumped the .apk file in the root of SD and then used astro to install.)

3. After the ROM was rooted I downloaded busybox from the market. This step had to be done for me. Without busybox xRecovery will not work.

4. XRecovery can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859571

It is very easy to do now. Download .apk and then dumped on root of SD. Astro manager install the beauty. Install from app. And BOOM done. So easy.

5. Next as in this thread follow the steps zdzihu has laid out for this rom. Download the file. Unpack both on your pc. Dump update.zip on root of SD. Turn phone off. Power on and keep pressing back. Install update.zip from xRecovery. When done press reboot and quickly take battery out. Let sit for a few second and turn phone on. Now the second file needs to be dumped as a folder in X10 Flash tool. Add loader.sin. And Flash with Flash tool. When finished reboot. Vola! Done.

6. Now the issue I had was that I could not get my 'ROGERS' 3G network to set up. No matter what I did. It was frustrating. However, What I did do was a restore of my settings from a backup I did off the backup and restore SE app. The settings seemed to get re set for my 3G and it seems to be working faster then ever before.

I hope that this helps with anyone maybe running into the same issue.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] agentJBM:
Not sure what you're getting at. That is why instructions say to start by backing up your system, so you can restore when done. The only time you should have to re enter your APN is after debranding.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] perfriberg:
Powermac,

Thanks for your answer....was sitting thinking about busybox....read somewhere that the market one was needed, Did Install Titanium backup and that comes with busybox as well...soo, I did skip that step...that busybox was probably not the correct one....

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FelipeRRM:
:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

If not, what are the differences?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] agentJBM:
NO. I'm not going to read the other thread to figure out the differences for you, but this is a rooted version of the stock Sony Ericsson updated 2.1 ROM. This not a custom ROM. The other one is clearly a custom ROM (made using this ROM as the foundation)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kamikazibole:
Look the Version in About Phone, and you have to read 2.1-rooted-zdz.

Flash if you haven't read this version.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kevjef420:
So you are saying that you are running this new Firmware on your x10a from rogers and you are having no issues as of yet?

In about phone does it say your phone is x10i? Any connectivity issues or battery drainage issues? I am considering doing this but I would feel more comfortable installing x10a firmware.

Also you had no issues installing xRecovery? Every time i try to install is with the installer app it fails to install. "exec: cp not found"
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rkanwar:
I had the same issue. You havent got busybox installed most likely. I downloaded the apk and installed it and then tried to install xRecovery again and it worked.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rkanwar:
I can confirm that my version is 2.1-rooted-zdz.

However in order to get into flash mode these are the steps i had taken.

1) remove battery

2) connect usb into pc

3) connect micro usb into phone

4) hold the back key

5) insert battery

Ive tried to keep hold of the back button as well as releasing it, after a few seconds the green light turns off and the phone switches on. This was after installing update.zip
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kevjef420:
silly me. I installed busybox installer but did not install busybox with it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rkanwar:
lol i almost did that with xrecovery but i realised i didn't install busybox
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rodak:
Do this:

1. remove battery

2. insert battery (do NOT power on)

3. insert USB cable to phone (Make sure its disconnected from computer)

4. start flashtool and press flash

5. press and hold back button on phone and connect usb cable to computer

If you wonder why phone first and then computer it´s just easier to fit cable in computer while holding the back button, so you don´t have to mess with usb-port cover on the phone.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] agentJBM:
My bad, I just read SK_007. The difference In believe is that one has JIT enabled in the ROM so you don't have an extra step that you do in this one. Seems the other is an up and coming developer:-).
