2. the update.zip should be placed in the root folder of your sd card

3. copy the folder "2.0.2.A.0.24 FlasherFiles" inside the FlasherTool (or X10 Flasher program by Bin4ry) folder

4. xRecovery installation can be found here ..

" For Guys who have already updated to that firmware:

In order to install this firmware, you need to install xrecovery first.

Also if you have already flashed with 2.0.2.A.0.24 through SEUS, please downgrade! "

Guys, really need help here.

I have already flashed to 2.0.2.A.24 through SonyEricsson website, so i am locked out of root.

My dilemma now is this:

1. In order to install Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24, i need to install xRecovery.

2. In order to install xRecovery, i need to root it first.

both of which i am unable to do.

Is there any way to overcome this ?

Thanks for you help.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] donetus:
downgrade here, root your phone, install xrecovery then follow the steps posted by shivenjuneja
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] harryhh:
Thank you Donetus.

I need to plug up the courage to do this.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] teapea:
OK....

but I dont have a folder called "2.0.2.A.0.24FlasherFiles" it's just called "firmware" do I need to rename this folder?

WHERE do I copy this folder to? Inside the FlasherTool (but where inside - does it matter? Should it be in any particular folder? (Inside X10Flash-2.1\FlashToolRelease\ I have folders called "custom" and "x10flasher_lib")

and even though I've not upgraded I still need to install xRecovery - it doesn't make that clear at all in the instructions.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] baunegaard:
OMG install instructions are very clear, its peace of cake, if you read it through and use a little logic.

I dont matter if you call the folder "2.0.2.A.0.24FlasherFiles" or "firmware" just place the folder with the files inside, inside the root of flasher tool, where you also have the executable.

You can see if you have placed it properly by opening the X10 flasher tool and pressing flash button, if you see the name of the folder there, you have placed it correct ;)

And if you read the first few lines of first post, you see "In order to install this firmware, you need to install xrecovery first.". So Yes it states very clearly that you DO need xRecovery first.

And one search in the forum for xRecovery will give you the thread with install intructions:

Hey, nice FW but i have some issues. I flashed this FW after i downgraded my phone and installed xRecovery. Now i can´t connect to my WLAN network, and Root Explorer doesn´t work. At the first start of RE of couse i allowed RE to have Super User rights. Then the error of "No SU rigts" appers (which it also did on the rooted Original Firmware). I restarted and the same error appears another time and it goes on like that. On the Original Firmware the error appaered one time then it worked. Do u guys have a solution for that?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zilexa:
Well, you've written a few stuff that can be interpreted in many ways.

First you say, if you already have the latest firmware, you need to install xRecovery.

Then, in the instructions that are not meant for people who have the latest firmware, in step 3 you need xRecovery!?? How come? Thats only if you already have the latest version right??

I have the first 2.1 update on my phone (2.0.A.0.504). After that I enabled JIT and since that moment, Messaging, Calendar, Mail (those are native Android apps) can only be viewed vertically. When I hold my phone horizontal or even use the keyboard, the screen doesnt rotate. It rotates in the homescreen and all other apps.

I want to try the new prerooted 2.1 update... but the process isn't clear... You ALWAYS need xRecovery?? And in step 2, do you mean copy the "firmware" folder into the "FlashToolRelease" folder?

---> I think people who have the first 2.1 update and have rooted (like me) can skip steps 2 and 4. Can you confirm this?

Also, to install xRecovery (hopefully I don't need to) you need to install Busybox from the Market, unfortunately that app doesn't exist in the Market :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] axy_david:
this app z4root waited 5 min already and it still shows running exploit

was working flawless before

EDIT:

i dlded v1.3 and it's workiing now ........

anyway
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] donetus:
maybe TS meant that the steps are meant for those with the latest build. he/she forgot to add a few lines that xRecovery works for on a rooted android phone. and that if you have the latest build installed via SEUS or PC Companion, then you need to downgrade first to build 2.0.A.0.504, root the phone, then install xRecovery.

in some cases, you don't have to use xRecovery but in this case, you need to.

as far as i know, xRecovery installs the needed files prior to flashing to the prerooted firmware. and yes, just copy the firmware folder to the root folder of X10 Flasher tool.

you have to follow the steps posted here. don't skip any instructions.

the files that you need for xRecovery can be found here.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zilexa:
ok thanks for the help!

I managed to do the update, but not the firmware. I understand the steps (8 is important to get into flash mode) but it's not working... nothing happens, my phone is not found and will just start up normally after the green light goes out.

I completely uninstalled PC Companion and SEUS. Then reinstalled PC Companion to be sure the drivers are installed correctly.

Then I tried: shut down phone, wait 2 minutes. Start the flasher on the pc, select firmware etc until it says "waiting for Xperia". Then (phone is still off) connect phone to USB while holding Back button.. Green light shows... goes off after a while... phone boots normally. On my pc it still says "waiting for Xperia" :(

The positive news: installing update.zip (the first part) worked and fixed my screen orientation issues. But I like to root, remove the ****ty apps I don't use and enable Jit again... So I'll try to install the new firmware from another pc later.

So, I have to reapply the update and managed to flash.

Hi all,

I'm new and did some reading here already.

I have updated my phone via Sony to the lastest 2.0.2.A.0.24 (Update2.1-update1).

Model U20i.

What all I need is to install the app2sd alone so I can install apps to my sd card.. Is there anyway I can install this alone and not those JIT, Xrecovery and etc...

I must downgrade my firmware follow with root my phone first then install app2sd??

What with all my settings, emails, sms and phonebook, will they gone after downgrade(flashing)?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] necrohades:
yes, you need to downgrade first then root your phone. you can follow this link to install app2sd:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804574

or install xRecovery first, update using the method in this thread, then install app2sd.

although downgrading by flashing will certainly erase/wipe your user data, so be sure to back-up your sms/mms and contacts first.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zilexa:
OK so I've been using my phone after installing the update, not the firmware. Today I wanted to try to update the firmware.. after many attempts with the non-GUI flasher, it worked.. kinda.

During firmware flashing it couldn't find a few files like userdata, system and loader.sin. "File ... not found. Skip..."

And it finished in a few seconds.

I remembered disabling USB Debugging during the day. Perhaps that was causing the "file not found" errors? So I turned the phone back on and enabled USB debugging.

Then tried again. Now it is taking a lot more time but the 2nd file could not be found: loader.sin. What does this mean?

Start Flashing...

File loader.sin not found. Skip...

Flashing cache.sin...

Flashing amss.sin...

(seems to take forever, over 12 minutes now)

After 45min I killed the flash window on my pc and removed the USB cable.

Tried again.. this time, it found Xperia but in a very late state because once it said "Start Flashing..." the green light went off... I was already back in XRecovery while it showed on my pc a few files were being flashed! Most were not found...

I think there should be a warning in the first post because the firmware flasher is not reliable since I am not the only one with problems, look at the posts of Jo_54 and Kubil88...

I have no idea what to do next? do I have a Mini Pro with half-updated firmware now? weird..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zilexa:
oee thanks haha I always ignore disclaimers and software agreements :P

But my phone still seems to work fine... weird. I downloaded the whole package again, tried to flash the firmware (I didn't try the update.zip again because that part went ok) but no difference.

Build number on my phone is 2.0.2.A.0.24...

-------------------------------------------

OK, I wanted to be absolutely sure of every step so.. I restored my phone completely using SEUS.

Then I performed the steps to downgrade and root again. Then I followed the normal steps. I did everything Exactly as in the first post and everything went well!

But the final part, the firmware... still showed system.sin and userdata.sin could not be found, skipped.

Does anyone have an explanation for this? I have a Dutch (simlock free, legal) Mini Pro and I am using WinXP 32bit.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shivenjuneja:
