I found this thread earlier, which had a couple of 1.6, but they're under the subheading of branded firmwares, while mine was unbranded/generic. Was this the thread you meant or another one?

If all else fails, do you suppose you could either give me the link or reupload it? :p
[Sony Cross-Device General] nanodroid:
Well if your phone was unbranded just download the one that says generic, thats what i used.

Let me know how it goes;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] ProtoKun7:
Tried that one but it just ended up with the exclamation triangle in front of a phone (meaning it won't load).
[Sony Cross-Device General] nanodroid:
who is your network operator? pm me if you want
[Sony Cross-Device General] ProtoKun7:
It's in my sidebar. :P

(O2)
[Sony Cross-Device General] nanodroid:
Lol, ok. I guess what you might need to do is create a bundle ftf file with your firmware. Try downloading the O2 from here

I think it's on post 4,(there's no need to do the dualtouch part,just your FW) This should install the original 1.6 fw,Ive done it before with the Vodafone one and it went well.

If you get any errors I would guess it could be related to baseband
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bazonga:
Hi guys, great tool! Is there already a tutorial out there on how to add other Xperia devices like the Ray? I would like to install JIT :) Thanks.
[Sony Cross-Device General] DooMLoRD:
all new xperia 2011 devices already have JIT enabled
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bazonga:
O, thanks. And what about xRecovery, is it Ray compatible already?
[Sony Cross-Device General] DooMLoRD:
no...

use CWM recovery... i had kernel for that device.. u can check that thread
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bazonga:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1316070

Is there a way to extract only the recovery from the kernel and flash it so it can be used with this firmware?
[Sony Cross-Device General] lythanhlong:
So is it true that if I flash 2.1/2.3 Generic I would obtain the default batterystats.bin file?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bazonga:
internalname=X10
realname=SonyEricson X10
buildprop=ro.product.model
recognition=X10,SO-01B

busyboxinstallpath=/system/xbin
canflash=true
canrecovery=true
cankernel=true
busyboxhelper=1.18.4

What do I have to change in x10.properties in order to add the Ray to flashtool? Thanks.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ProtoKun7:
It could very well be a baseband issue; I remember flashing another baseband in the past, maybe when I was flashing CM6.1.3. It's .54 at the moment.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
New flashtool version available. Read OP :-)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Sarath_:
Looks like a new update has come right when I was running through this thread. I just got the 0.3.0.0 and ran the autoextractor.

Should I DL this and run this instead of the (now) older 0.3.0.0 for the Xperia Arc?

Thanks :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
The 0.4 can root in one click. the 0.3 not. Up to you to see :-)

for flashing firmwares only, both 0.3 and 0.4 work fine
[Sony Cross-Device General] jianlinooi:
can click unlock BL ?:D
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Héhé if you find the button, you will have a gift ;-)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Sarath_:
X10-Device is not needed for the Arc?

I have been following this thread/guide for rooting my arc http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1133650

It says put LT15.sin in "loaders" folder. Now there is no such folder. Where do I put it> create a new folder in flashtools as "loaders" or is there some folder that it is supposed to go into?

Please help :/

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

Also what do you suggest. Should I use the tried and tested older version flashtool such as 0.2.9.0 or the newer 4.0.0.0 which seems to have one of the newest and noobest testers in me?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Try the 0.4 one :-)
[Sony Cross-Device General] litemint:
Wow, another update for this cool tool, thanks Mr. Androxyde. :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] Sarath_:
I just did and it shows some error like drivers not available or something similar. What could I be doing wrong?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
D/L drivers from here
[Sony Cross-Device General] Sarath_:
Thanks a ton. I really appreciate your help.

I have been doing some reading, but still haven't understood the significance of the "LT15.sin" file and where to put it. It seems to be used in an older version of flash tools 0.2.9.1 (I suppose) which either has a "Loader" (exe) or a folder with the same name. I am confused to no end regarding this.

Can you please throw some light on it?
[Sony Cross-Device General] DooMLoRD:
please wait... we are doing some testing for ARC :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Sarath_:
Ok I better be patient. I have waited an entire month for today. Looks like my arc's freedom is fraught with a lot of hiccups :D

Thanks for all the good work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] DooMLoRD:

It's impossible to install xrec with flashtool 0.4.0.0, i'm using 0.2.9.1 to install it
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
It works for me. What kind of error do you have ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Sarath_:
Thanks for that link. I am dumbfounded. All these months of waiting and learning the rather elaborate procedure and BANG! this comes up.

Thanks again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] marmottator:
it be installed in log, but when i reboot my phone, i press back button, no xrec :(

sorry for my poor english, i'm french lol
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Go to advanced menu -> xrecovery -> set default and choose 0.3GB :-)
[Sony Cross-Device General] marmottator:
there is nothing in this way, i must clic on the "+" to install xrec
[Sony Cross-Device General] IROC_69:
i tried to run supercharger script

when my phone rebooted i didnt go past sony errison screen

cant enter in xrecovery phone isnt detected my flash tool phone

when i enter the battery phone turns on itself i cant turn it off

what can i do :( :confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] chriscx:
thanks for new version:)

but im still trying to figure out how to install for x10 ???

previous versions were easier...
[Sony Cross-Device General] spazo:
Hmm can not identify device.When i was on 2.1 rooted fine.Updated to version 4 and no luck.Clicked check drivers came up OK.Is this for the x10 or the arc.Mine is an x10i.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Have you installed Flashtool-X10Device.exe ?

Device packages are here for flashtool to recognize them.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
A little hotfix has been published : FlashTool-0.4hotfix1.exe (see download section in OP) which jumps to 0.4.1 version.

Changelog for 0.4.1 :

- Added drivers for 2011 line of xperia phones

- When rooting device, it did not reboot at end of process.

- su perms were not set the same way as Superuser do when it updates su binary

- Corrected a small issue on ARC where phone was not detected after applying part1 of root exploit.

- When installing recovery, the first install sets the installed version as default one. It was not the case, causing pressing back key at boot not entering recovery as no default one was found.
[Sony Cross-Device General] laneyofdeath:
Edit: hey androxyde just wanted to say in OP it still says "root phone-only on android 2.1" am I right in assuming this is now old info (due to one-click root)?
[Sony Cross-Device General] spazo:
I downloaded it twice when i extract comes up with Some installation files are corrupt redownload and try again.

Edit works anyways thank you.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Yes you are right. One day I will take time to clean the OP :-)
[Sony Cross-Device General] spazo:
Rooted fine thanks but cant install xrecovery,ERROR cannot stat devices x10 .3gb recovery.tar.No such file or directory.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Are you on 0.4.0 or 0.4.1 ? have you rebooted the phone after having rooted it, before trying to install Recovery ?

Is recovery.tar in devices\X10\recovery\0.3GB folder ? (should if you installed X10Device package)
[Sony Cross-Device General] spazo:
Im using .4.1 but when i install the device package it says its corrupt and the.3gb folder is empty.

crc errors on the last 2 files.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Just downloaded it here to be sure and it installs fine, it is not corrupted. Maybe a problem with an antivirus or something like that.

Edit : here is the MD5 hash to be sure of the integrity of your downloaded file :

$ md5sum Flashtool-X10Device.exe

[Sony Cross-Device General] spazo:
Its cool i downloaded it from my laptop moved the file across installed ok but when i click the back key on start up no xrec.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Go to Advanced menu -> xRecovery -> set default recovery

a window should popup with 0.3GB inside it. Choose it and click OK, then retry. (dont care about window title, typo and copy/paste error ;-) just saw it)
[Sony Cross-Device General] spazo:
I also tried this when the window opens its empty inside nothing to choose.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
So recovery is not installed :-) otherwise this window would have at least the one you installed :-)

can you turn flashtool to debug mode (help -> loglevel -> debug), install recovery and PM me the log ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] spazo:
How do i save the log.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
save log button under the log panel ;-)
[Sony Cross-Device General] spazo:
My god i did the debug thing tried to copy paste flashtool went bonkers on me and froze,said it was successful,i had to reboot my pc,tested the phone again and its there.No idea why, but its done, thanks once again for all your help,you got me through all this on 2.1 now 2.3 you sir are a legend.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Yes, you can use this tool to just root.

Enable USB Debugging and unknown sources on your phone

Connect it to the computer

Press root button and wait for the phone reboot

After reboot, you should have root :-)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
The tool already work with X10 mini / pro phones. Just use the right firmware according to your phone for flashing. All other tasks are not depending on the phone.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
For the moment, there is no firmware link for this version of the tool.

On the first post of this thread, there is a link to firmwares for flashtool v0.2.3

The v0.2.4 offers an ability to convert a 0.2.3 firmware to a 0.2.4 version using the Create Bundle feature in the Advanced menu. Once bundle is OK, press flash and you will have something in the list :-)

Turn your phone to flashmode only when the program asks you to otherwise, it will boot normal.
[Sony Cross-Device General] U5tabil:
Manage to get the root :D works fine :)

But im wondering what does the "Clean" button do? Is there a readme file for this application so i can study?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
This feature is for removing / reinstalling apps in the /system/app folder of your phone.

The first time you run this feature, it shows you a default safe list of apps to remove. You can modifie this list by moving apps from one list to the other etc etc. While you have not clicked on OK, nothing is done on the phone. After clicking OK, the phone will reboot (longer reboot than usual because the cache is deleted before rebooting so the phone has to rebuild it). And will not anymore have apps you marked for deletion. Apps are all saved in the FlashTool\custom\apps_saved folder
[Sony Cross-Device General] U5tabil:
Cool thanks.

So this also works as an backup kind of? i can install apps again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
It should :-) slide from removed list to to be installed list to get them back on your phone

BUT take care! if you remove a critical app, your phone could end in not rebooting!!
[Sony Cross-Device General] U5tabil:
I removed alot from the list that came up, didn't remove all though. But now when it restarts it is stuck on the SE screen in the start :confused: what do i do now?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
In such case, if you are lucky, the tool should be able to connect to the phone and you should be able to run the clean task again and restore removed apps.

If not, the only solution is to flash your phone using the tool or using SEUS or PCCompagnon. (in such case, remove the battery for 5 secs, get it back into the phone and use pccompagnon or seus to restore your phone following instructions if you are not sure about flashing with the flashtool). It will at least get your phone back to life lol
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Which version of the tool are you using ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] U5tabil:
Thank you that worked!

But how can i get this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920669&highlight=multitouch app installed?
[Sony Cross-Device General] LJE:
Ok thanks Androxyde

So I take it I only need 0.2.3 version to install duel touch?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Both can do it 0.2.3 as well as 0.2.4.

In Bin4ry thread about dual touch, there is a ftf bundle for 0.2.4 version. Just put the ftf bundle in the Flashtool\firwmares folder and it will be ok :-)
[Sony Cross-Device General] U5tabil:
I manage to flash it but don't know if it works...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Lol, just follow instructions, unplug the phone from the computer and power it on ;-) To test if dual touch is there, install the app MultiTouch Tester (free from market)
[Sony Cross-Device General] U5tabil:
lol yes... its all a big mess now :P But it works :D SNES emulator lets me push 2 buttons at the same time now :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] Lofwyr:
Worked like a charm... so easy that i've gone all the way eneabling JIT e doing some cleanup on some factory apps. Very amazing.

Thank you and Bin4ry for this! Your donation is already on PayPal ;).
[Sony Cross-Device General] joey3038:
sorry to tell you this but i tried that all day, and no luck. the difference i think is if the rom on the fone is the orginal 1.6 that ships with the fone aka ( never been hacked before). after i used the 0.2.4 flash toll which took me awhile to figure out first time user, i was able to root the fone no problem.

i have att got in december of 2010 free upgrade. location usa
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Actually it is true you can just root if and only if you are on a 2.1 rom (official or not, branded or not). The exploit used to gain root access is for Android 2.1 versions.

If you are on a 1.6 rom, you have to flash first to upgrade to 2.1 :-)

i've got an Xperia X8 2 days ago (i know this is the X10 thread, but the thread is applicable also to X8).. i have updated it from donut to eclair yesterday and rooted it as well, and everything was fine.. earlier today, i was researching about putting app2sd in my X8, so i've followed a tutorial from a thread here in xda.. i think i did everything right but after installing app2sd my phone rebooted and freezes at the black screen with white "Sony Ericsson" text.. i can't turn it off unless i take the battery off.. so i did, but after i put the battery back, it turned back on (without me even pushing the on/off button) and freezes at the sony ericsson text screen again.. so i did a research and read about flashing http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=917462.. i did follow the instructions but after the "Flashing finished", "Now unplug the device and power it on", "Then go to application settings", turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging", i unplugged my X8, turned it on, but it still freezes at the sony ericsson text screen.. i've read that i should not be alarmed because the resumption process will take a while, but it is already 40 minutes, is it still normal? can you help me fix my X8 please?:( thanks!

Do those rooting methods work on an Unbraded Arc with LOCKED bootloader?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Alucard93:
any idea of this problem:

No JVM could be found on your system.

Please define EXE4J_JAVA_HOME

to point to an installed 32-bit JDK or JRE or downliad JRE from

www.java.com

The path of JDK and JRE is correct maybe the problem, that my System is a 64 bits and the new Flashtool not compatible (the .exe, because if I launch directly from the .jar, works), somebody know if I'm alright?
[Sony Cross-Device General] DooMLoRD:
Yes they should... we have been working on getting the newest rooting method to be integrated in flashtool... I have tested it on my Arc.. kindly test out and let us know ...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
You must install Flashtool-jre6u29.exe. As I said in OP, it is mandatory :-)
[Sony Cross-Device General] molimo:

I just got one problem, I can't press "run" as it grey out. Any idea ?

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] yugiyao:
nice...thx for the update

[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
It is probably grey because you are not running stock kernel. If kernel is not 2.6.29 or 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 then it will not work :-)

Root and ask root are greyed because you already are rooted and flashtool already has root permissions so need to root or ask for root anymore
[Sony Cross-Device General] laneyofdeath:
Hi there I am having a problem with the bl unlock plug-in. It is not highlighted (as pointed out above) but I am using 2.6.29 kernel (zdizhu's) do I need to revert back to semc kernel to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated:
