It's quite simple, this ROM comes prerooted, i.e, it's already rooted, not sure where the confusion comes from.

Then try again, if it doesn't boot then that's all you can do.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rkanwar:
Ive finaly booted with this ROM. Just one question. I used the non gui flasher, whilst flashing, system.sin file was skipped. Is this something major? Or will there be any harm?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
Not really, but looking at your sig I see you have 2.0.46 as your baseband, where as the latest is 2.0.49.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rkanwar:
Yeah, i have now got 2.0.49 as my baseband i just need to update my sig
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lauri455:
Having everything on my disk, ready to go, I began preparing my phone for flashing (installed update.zip with xRecovery etc.). Both SEUS and PCC can't detect my phone, so I tried to install the SEMC Flash drivers (http://www.zshare.net/download/823808394dbdd958/) and I end up with this pupping up:

"Windows has found a driver for this device, but met a following problem:

Cannot find the specified file"

Something like this, fast translation from Polish. Any ideas? Running Windows 7 Ulti x64.

I'm going to try flashing my phone on XP and see how it works.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
Same here and never had an issue.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lauri455:
I've managed to install SEMC driver, but still my X10 can't be recognized by X10Flasher/SEUS.

Anyway, as I said, I did install the "update.zip" with xRecovery, while trying to do something about this crap, X10 booted up and that's the phone info:

Model: X10

FW version: 2.1-rooted-zdz

Baseband version:

2.6.29

SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1

Build number: 2.0.2.A.0.24

Is everything correct?

Btw: what flashing with SIN files do?

****** Edit:

Finally made it working, phone is flashed and it looks like everything is ok.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mirdones:
I have flashed, but my baseband remain Unknow.

Is it right??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tat2messiah:
i notice it changes model to x10i i know the x10a version is out can you include the x10a version i would like to keep my model x10a not x10i
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] javagreen:
I'll be losing all my installed apps and phone contacts when I do the update.zip flashing + baseband flashing, right?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sillysquid:
Thanks for this I was starting to think I was going to have to reflash from the beginning! :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] batman_112:
X10a Update RELEASED

Just checked with SEUS and it said that an update was available. I am running 1234-4820. I did not update because I do not want to lose the ability to root! :p
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rash799:
Im sure this is a noob question but I cant seem to complete step 5.

I have created a new folder in the FlashToolRelease folder called firmware and pasted the 8 files from the 2.0.2.A.0.24_for_X10-flasher.tar file as well as the loader.sin file (which makes 9 files).

I have opened the x10flash file and clicked on root but it does not go any further than that. It does not go any further than Searching for Xperia...?

Please can someone help??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] agentJBM:
Heard there is a new x10a update on SEUS. Hopefully there guys will hook us up too!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] agentJBM:
If SEUS doesn't have the drivers try uninstalling and reinstalling SEUS. You dont use SEUS or PC Companion to do the flash though. Only if you are trying to repair or get SE update.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] agentJBM:
Click on flash not root. I'm a noob too, so don't take this wrong way. You didn't type that you turned phone off. Held back button while plugging in USB.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rash799:
Thanks agentJBM :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] agentJBM:
Your welcome. Glad I could help someone else. I'm usually the one asking. Which was it?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bleached45:
Issues...

I want to thank zdzihu for all his hard work, he is one of the main reasons my x10 is so great.

It took me a little while because I hadn't used the flash tool before and I had to figure it out.

I was able to get this update to work, I have the .49 base band and everything. But I noticed an issue, some of my apps are not able to get proper root rights (my guess is they couldn't write to the system).

The reason I think it has to do with write permissions is because I couldn't get type fresh to work (I know others said they were having issues with type fresh as well) so i installed font changer lite. Font changer lite checks for super user, busy box, and system write permission, it is unable to write to the system and has to close.

Estrongs file explorer also does not work when you try to turn on root explorer options, it says sd not mounted.

Just wondering if anybody knew what was causing this.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] neogen_angel:
Hi, I'm trying to revert from the latest update (2.1-Update1) back to the previous firmware (just 2.1).

I followed the instructions (using the X10Flasher 1.2 Final) as posted and seemed to have successfully flashed the phone (when I connect to my PC, the PCcompanion prompts an update is available). However, when I check the phone settings, the firmware and build is still that of the latest update.

I've tried to flash the phone a few times, but it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know why? I've been searching the forums, but I couldn't seem to find a solution.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] monta990:

After flashing the pre rooted firmware on my x10 mini pro, Will I be able to update it with SEUS later ???

Will SEUS recognise my x10 mini pro???

help

pre installed xrecovery not working on my phone. what's the problem?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bleached45:
It wouldn't work for me either. It worked after I flashed the .sin files if i booted into the xrecovery menu before I booted android, but the first time I booted android, it seemed to break the xrecovery menu. I hear you can fix it by installing the xrecovery menu manually via adb, but I haven't tried and don't know what files to push where.

See if somebody can help you push it using adb.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] agentJBM:
Read the first post. Move xRecovery to sdcard. Open/install. Then extract 2.0.2.A.0.24 to specified new folder. Go into new folder and copy update.zip to sdcard. Turn off phone. Restart phone. When first white Sony Ericsson logo comes up start hitting the back button and xRecovery menu screen will appear. Scroll down and install update.zip. Then do backup in xRecovery. Turn phone off. Go back to pc and new 2.0.2.A.0.24 folder and extract 8 sin files from 2.0.2.A.0.24 so when you right click you are able to copy sin files. Now Open x10 flasher folder. Create new folder called firmware, and copy the sin files into firmware folder. You also need to add loader.sin file to firmware folder from the place you downloaded the x10 flasher. Once you have all 9 sin files, click on flash. When flash tool opens, click flash and select firmware. Should say looking for Xperia. Now with the phone off, press the back button and continue to press while you plug in USB cable. Release when starts. When says finished, wait a few seconds and unplug. Once you check to see success, download JIT 2 to your pc, copy to your sdcard. Boot into xRecovery mode. Advance options, clean dalvik cachd. Then find Install custom zip. Then find JIT in sdcard directory and install. Reboot and uninstall bloatware like timescape, moxier, Okrut, Chinese keyboard. PC Companion, back up and restore. Download from Market Quadrant and then Linpack. Running benchmarks.

This is all from memory, so compare to OP to see if I made any mistakes
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Flo95:
After I installed this some time ago I restored the data and cache from the old 2.1 firmware with xRecovery to get my apps, settings etc back.

Just to be sure:

I still have the new mediascape and timescape app from this firmware (2.0.2), right?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bleached45:
I don't think so, since timescape and mediascape are installed in the data section, you overwrote the new ones with your old backup.

You could always ask and see if somebody has the new .apks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] imisky:
hey guys, being still on .46 im wanting to upgrade the baseband to .49 is it possible to only upgrade the baseband without messing things up? currently on J's SE lite V002 rom. any issues if i just flash the baseband? thx
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Flo95:
But I think Mediascape is still faster than before...

And the pre-installed apps are in the system folder.

Any other opinion?

Could someone upload the mediascape and timescape apks from this fw?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] autracer:
there is only 1 file

2.0.2.A.0.24-rooted-zdz.tar

thats all.

where is the update.zip ???
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Flo95:
You have to unpack the file.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bleached45:
Actually, I left the system the way it is and just flashed the .sin files from step 5.

Though I did make a backup just in case, and then I just recovered my data partition (I'm not sure if I needed to because I didn't boot into Android first, I just wanted to be safe).

I have the new baseband and all my files are there and I'm still rooted correctly. I haven't noticed any problems as of yet (though because I recovered my data, I have the old mediascape and timescape).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Candy[MAN]:
I did the above already. My phone needed a new format, so I took the .sin files from the x10a 2.0.2.A.024 but kept the system.sin file from the original .504 firmware. What I have is the original 2.1 (.504) firmware that I can root but have the newer baseband .49 instead of .46.

So far so good. Now I do not know if it is more efficient on battery or if it was a clean format but I am getting better battery life now. Went to bed last night and woke up 6 hours later to find only 1% battery drop!! Pretty impressive.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] imisky:
thanks guys for the reply,

just to make sure before i do this:

1. extract x10flash to destop

2. grab .sin files from 2.0.2.A.204 place it in a folder within extracted x10 flash folder with loader.sin from page1

3. put phone into flash mode

4. flash the folder that x10flash detects

is the data recovery part necessary?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bleached45:
That is exactly what I did, I flashed the 2.0.2.A.0.24 update sin files from the first post, with the loader.sin.

I honestly don't know if the data recovery is necessary, but you should run a full backup before you flash anyways. If your apps and settings don't load on startup just run a data recovery (though I don't think you'll have the new timescape or mediascape if you recover).

Hope this helped.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Flo95:
Is it possible to find out if we have the new mediascape and timescape?

Because I think it's still faster after the restore...

And the system apps are stored in the system folder. I played Quadropop before with the old firmware, made a backup, flashed the new firmware, restored data and cache and had to set Quadropop new, so the restore of data and cache should't change the system apps or am I wrong?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ensmed:
how to downgrade? grateful for answer.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FabricioGS:
Guys, I just installed this version and it's great but I hate SE's default theme. I would like to have Android's default theme and icons instead. How can I get it??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Flo95:
@ ensmed:

Use the X10 Flash Tool

@ FabricioGS:

Did you search in the Theme X10 subforum?

Does someone know if we lose the new mediascape and timescape app by restoring our old Data and Cache with xRecovery?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FabricioGS:
Yeap, only found mods close to original Android but they are for the AOSP versions of 2.1, not SE's original.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] prasad.adam:
Any benefit for FreeX10 Froyo!

First, Search is not working for me today :(. Did try my best to go though most of the posts here and did not find this mentioned anywhere.

My Q is:

FreeX10 Froyo is my daily ROM now. Its super fast (Linpack 35, Quadrant 1300) and stable enough for me. Since, eventually I am going to install FreeX10 on my X10i, would this upgrade to a newer baseband be worth it? Put it differently, if I install this update and then eventually go to FreeX10, will I get more stable and responsive phone?

Sorry if this is aksed before, as I said search is not working for me today!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] daz_meh:
so i'm stuck = N00b

so I downloaded the 2.0.2.A.0.24 file, open it and all there is, is 2.0.2.A.0.24 but no "update.zip" what did i do wrong?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] daz_meh:
ya I unpacked the file too and there isnt an update.zip file. i'm stuck.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tony_C:
7-zip does not work for that file type, try WINRAR
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] daz_meh:
Hey Tony! Yes I used winrar to extract everything and there's no update.zip. not sure whats up with that. (sigh)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bleached45:
What's funny is that I've read this on here before, I have 7-zip and it worked fine.

Did you try to extract the file twice, because you have to extract the file, and then extract the resulting file.

Extract the .bz2> get a .tar file, extract that> get the update.zip and the .sin files (I believe, it's been a few days, the .sin files may be compressed again, but I don't believe so)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] daz_meh:
EUREKA! so you know what the messed up thing is? i downloaded 2.0.2.a.0.24..tar.bz2 the first time, and the folder was completely empty.. i said WTF? went back to the site, downloaded again, then there was only the 2.0.2.a.0.24 and no update.zip file. i downloaded from the site AGAIN and now both files are in the folder. CRAZY!

anyway, now i have the file. I hope that didn't happen with the additional files I downloaded for this so everything works. gonna try it out!

SuperOneClick Root

Great rom!

If anyone is having a root issue > to obtain root - 2.1_2.0.2.A.0.24_GENERIC_x10a

Download SuperOneClick v1.5.5: www.multiupload.com/SHV71GEIFC - to your computer.

From an elevated command prompt (run as administrator) > cd to the directory path you extracted the folder and run SuperOneClick.exe

Provided USB debugging is enabled, this will force root for this rom build.

I just redid the update.zip, no need to reflash, then i just did backup of the data. Now i show my specs. x10i 2.1-rooted-zdz 2.0.49 2.6.29 .24, woohoo now to get back to my x10a vs the x10i
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] baz@gmx.co.uk:
Sorry to ask a dumb question, i am a newbie! Thanks to your wonderful tools and info i am running the 2.2 beta (amazing!) so had learnt how to root (z4/super1click) and enable JIT.2 - but in it's original state (my x10i i mean) i am on 2.1 with the .504 build.

So my question is what are the benifits of changing to the .24, given that i have already learnt how to modify with custom ROMs etc.

@creage if you revert to your backup I am quite sure it will change back to your original baseband version. Try an advanced restore in xrecovery and recover just data.

2. remove the battery

3. run the flasher tool

4. select the folder where the extracted sin files located

5. flash tool will now searching for xperia

6. insert back the battery
