[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uberlight25:
When I click on the flash tool, the root button is there but I can't click it, why not? I tried superoneclick and it doesnt work for rooting my phone, should I try and install a generic version on my AT&T X10A? Will that unlock the root option or what? Is it even possible to install the generic version on my phone? Im currently on 2.1.A.0.492 build number and like I said can't root. Please help.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
Make sure usb debugging is ticked in settings -> applications. You don't need at&t firmware any of the generic firmware will do.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uberlight25:
It is, but its not recognizing it. I have the PC companion installed, does that make a difference? And I'm on the AT&T firmware.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
PC companion has no bearing on your issue. Get rid of the at&t firmware and flash a generic one. That should take care of the issue, if not, then you are doing something wrong. :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uberlight25:
Ok, I will try that then. I think it is because AT&T doesnt allow sideloading apps so the software cant do its job? Anyways, Thank you very much!

sim lock

Hi.

So, i've unlocked my x10i(sim lock) a while ago.

I want to upgrade by baseband (currently .46) and flash to Android 2.3

But i'm not sure if my phone will activate the sim lock again.

Or can we bypass that, now when we can bybass the bootloader?( we can bypass the BL right?)

I really can find any already given answer to this.

Hope you understood my question :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
Hi,

i´m not sure about that. IF the unlock process really work you shoudn´t had any issues by flashing any baseband/firmware but to be honest if i was in your place i´ll rather way for any feedback from any mamber who already pass through the same.

if you had the unlock code you shouldn´t had problems. if you get it from some online unlock scene...maybe you´ll loose it.

but. don´t know for sure, sorry
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nolimited:

By code SE/you operator or some online, where you just plug your phone in and press a button(more or less)?

And i've read on some forum that peoples phones got locked again when they upgraded from 1.6 to 2.1 last summer.

That's why i don't fully trust it =/
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thol:
On X10i, there only one way to unlock it.. we must to unlock the CHIP who lock it.

The ways to unlock this chip can be differed, but the result is the same..

As i know, there no SoftWare solution, as like on Galaxy S..

Then.. If it's as HardWare Unlock, it's for ever... unlike the software solution..

i´m not completely sure about mini pro but...

for what i´ve seen you can´t enter on flash mode, right?

try:

1. remove SEUS;

2. remove PCC;

3. install last version from SE site for both apps

seams your pc can´t recognize your phone so you may have some usb port issues.

try that and see

;)

odd...

are you on flashtool v3 or the one they wrote? FlashTool_0.2.9.1?

try the last version

but before that...when that happens do you have more than 50% battery left? try to charge a little before flash and proceed from the start

Is there any reason as to why you removed 2.3.3 for ATT?

Friend of mine has a X10 (I personally have a OG Incredible) and I know that ATT wont be releasing gingerbread to the X10a.

I dont know if we setup his 3G connection right on the unbranded General 2.3.3 (Flashing process went fine, we setup a APN based on settings found http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1087881) so I am wondering if your ATT version would help fix this issue.

It shows a H icon next to the signal bars, we saw 3G flash once and then also E (E for Edge right?)

EDIT

Well H stands for HSPA so thats 3.5g so then I guess there is no issue, but I am still wondering why the 2.3.3 for ATT not around.

about what flashtool is all about? it is FlashTool 0.3.0.0?

i have a xperia mini st15i with 2.3.3 android version and Flashtool 0.3.0.0 says that it's only for the phone with a 2.1 android version.
