Damnn ur right :o hehe.. Admin, help me please..
[General Questions and Answers] cookieeater1:
I've just installed this ROM on my Orange SPV C600. However, I find the MobileOperator splash screen and shutdown screen to be rather tacky and want to replace them. The problem is that the images for both are in .png format but the image I want to replace them with is animated and hence must be in .gif form.

Is there a way to replace the screens with my animated one? I've tried looking in the registry for startup references pertaining to the MobileOperator images so that I can modify the data but can't find any.

Thanks.

Hi guys, here's the latest firmware by SE. Since it's not possible to root it with any known method, I prepared update.zip to be flashed with xRecovery :)

The firmware comes pre-rooted, with busybox and xRecovery pre-installed.

You need rooted 2.1 rom with xRecovery working to install this firmware!

If you already flashed the latest firmware with SEUS, please downgrade OR root it using THIS thread.​

1. Download and unpack the file. It contains 2 files: update.zip and 2.0.2.A.0.24_for_X10-flasher.tar.bz2

2. Copy update.zip to SD Card

3. Boot into xRecovery and install update.zip

4. Turn off phone / remove battery

5. Unpack the 2.0.2.A.0.24_for_X10-flasher.tar.bz2 and flash the SIN files with X10-flasher

6. Enjoy!

Make sure you understand the installation process before you try!

Download: 2.0.2.A.0.24-rooted-zdz.tar.bz2

If you don't have loader.sin, please find it here (thanks pedrocel85)

Hey guy first of all I wish a Merry Christmas to all this amazing XDA community....

In topic: I'm assuming that the improvements of this new release are related to the /system folder so could it be possible to flash this new version and after that do a restore of my backup of the /data folder only using xrecovery?? It's just a thought so I don't loose my apps and stuff and I will not have to re do my titanium back up all over again.....

Jim

Sent from my X10i
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zdzihu:
There is also a new kernel and baseband (see step 5). To be honest, restoring backup with xRecovery will work, but I'd also recommend backing up with Titanium (to be 100% safe).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] soldiers33:
ok so ive figured it out but the files dont have a loader.sin so i cant continue with the flasher!!!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jimbo77:
Ok thanks a lot sir... I will try and post later with results...

Jim
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] javagreen:
Yep. That line has me a tad confused too.

That means that zip can be flashed just by booting into xRecovery, and of one doesn't have xRecovery, then they can simply extract the files and flash using the Flash Tool - right?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kongmyy:
yea im also confused by step 5.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Flo95:
Is it possible to install JIT?

If yes, I might try it soon.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chiefy009:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tony_C:
You need root and busybox to install xrecovery. Xrecovery will then install a particluar version of busybox, must leave that version alone or xrecovery will not work

Then go to step 1

can someone please clarify the process for me? I don't really understand how to flash the sin files
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tatosamp:
Hi all, sorry for this, probably a stupid question, the flash does not include system.sin file, does this mean that all the app in the compleeted root is still using the image from the previous firmware, which is 504....., just asking, which means all the app is actually from the un patched application from the previous firmware image...?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ssj_jaypee:
same, I loaded up x10 flasher but its not working, keeps saying searching for xperia even though its connected and sd card is mounted and usb debugging mode is on.

anybody else encountered this problem?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Desperanto86:
yes. use that firmware
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ssj_jaypee:
the customise function works fine because it just copied all the apps onto my phone.

what is this problem with flashing then....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] creage:
Seems that this FW has troubles with linking busybox commands, causing most of apps not working.

Needs better integration. Restoring my nandroid.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] :
Does not have the system.sin on the flasher file please re-upload it ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DangerPanda:
You have to put your phone in flash mode.

Turn it off, take out battery for 30 seconds, put it back,

hold down back button and plug it into computer, once you see the green light, hit start

A few pages back, it was mentioned that system.sin is covered in the update.zip file that you also had to flash. Therefore, the system.sin is not needed using x10flash.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ssj_jaypee:
still no luck guys.... :(

my phone wont go into flash mode, i turned it off, took out the battery, put it back in and then connected the usb while holding the back button down for ages but it just goes into xrecovery or if I let go of back button sooner the phone just starts normally.

any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] :
Yes i saw the answer, and i've succeded to pass that! now the only problem is that it does not want to show me the recovery menu on the boot! i already uninstall the one that comes with the flash and installed the 1st version of it but still doesnt want to work. it stuck on the sony ericsson's logo.

I just installed this on my phone and then put on JIT, I didnt notice any differences at all.

See the thread of rooling back firmware.

You shoud downgrade with x10flasher.

Bro,

Im feeling you dont read this post.

Come back in first page and read it again. Dont play with flashing, it realy may break your device.

Update shoud go to sdcard in telefone

Yo bro,

Unfortunaly there is no safe way. Best way is to read the tutorial and the explanations in the post till feels very confiant to do it.

Can anyone confirm that following the steps,

1) Root first (z4root, install busybox)

2) Install xrecovery

3) upgrade to latest firmware 2.0.2.A.0.24

4) enable JIT

would actually solve the biggest problem of rebooting, i know it gives me su access, full control of OS, because of JIT more performance etc, but the random and almost constant rebooting after first 2.1 SE update will be solved with this.

Really appreciate if someone can confirm this.

Thanks

help for x10 mini pro

Hi All!

I spent almost all day by reading. Because I'm not experienced in programming please be patient with me. :)

I've an X10mini pro, that I bought recently telling that it's factory unlocked. Unfortunately it wasn't. I searched the net and found how to root the phone and improve the performance (I beleived it will be easy). I installed PC Companion and upgraded the phone for the new software version 2.1 ... (no backup).

I learned how to install new apk-s but learned, that SE new sw doesn't allow rooting.

Then I found this forum, but I have the following problems:

- I don't know how to install earlier version of firmware (here it is only for x10);

- having this firmware I believe I can't install (or I don't dare to do) any new program not to make it worse.

So can anybody tell me what to do?

Thanks for your patience and help!

ok first things first.... for xrecovery to work, you have to have your phone rooted.. did you root the fone first and installed busybox to see the fone is rooted...???

then put the battery back in and hold the back button down while inserting the usb cable. wait till the green led light on your phone turns off then quickly let go of the back button and press okay on x10flasher on your computer.

it should find the device and start flashing it.

Hey guys

Im having a problem with the flasher too.

The update worked fine. However the flashing does not happen. I followed the following steps:

1. Installed update.zip through xrecovery

2. turned off phone. Took out battery.

3. Started flash tool (GUI version)

4. Selected the folder containing the new sin files along with loader.sin and pressed ok.

5. Put the battery back in the phone.

6. Kept pressing the back button and inserted the usb cable in the phone

7. Now the flasher gets stuck at Searching for Xperia while the green notif led goes off and the phone boots normally.

8. If i keep pressing the back key repeatedly then the phone boots into xrecovery.

9. If i use the Non-GUI version if i select phone model '1> X10' It says 'The system cannot find the file specified. Wipe Userdata? (please choose y/n).

Then whatever I choose, the window shuts down.

Just to inform you I did place all the new sin files as well as the loader.sin into the new firmware folder in the non-GUI version.

Please help.
