[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diggeles:
The issue I have and steps i did.

SO I have done that, basically the following roms i have tried, I currently have x10i, baseband 54.

X10_1.0_SE_StockRom_MultiTouch.ftf - from someone on this forum

X10i_2.0.A.0.504_Generic.ftf - standard global se one

Sony Ericsson X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897.ftf - standard global se one

Restart phone - put in google account settings and standard phone settings

Then i change the settings, debug and 3rd party apps, press get root access all output from logs suggest it works.

I reboot, Click ask root permissions, nothing pops up on the phone. I try apps which need root access and basically i get the errors that SU is not installed. Extremely weird behaviour.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callyh87:
ok well I have already run the driver program and installed it. is this what you meant for the unknown device? it needs to be troubleshooted.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
Yup that's the one, notice the yellow exclamation mark which usually means the driver is not properly configured....btw I forgot to tell you. Make sure you enable usb debugging and unknown apps in settings-> applications on the phone. After that try to update the driver of that device and make windows search for the driver.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diggeles:
So the interesting news is that the flash tool would not work. I tried another root method starts with a z, again this did not work. I tried to use the superoneclick. I have it working. I still cannot use flashtool, its like the adb does not push the request for SU across properly. So i have managed to do everything without using flash tool.

I used superoneclick for rooting, X10ModTool_v0.5.1, for some x10 management. Installed busybox and x-recovery.

I used this application to do a lot: AntTekApp. Its good, also used some other apps out there to do some general stuff. Managed to get a 25% improvement in performance, I think 752 or something. It was all done using free software and great guides from XDA. This tutotiral helped me speed it up, i did not do everything they said

I still think something dodgy is happening with my phone but got rid of the crappy SE apps, i left media scape as its a good picture viewer.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
Right click the device then go to properties. Look for the hardware or driver tab then update drivers. When you get to the wizard, make sure you specify the flashtool folder and make it also search online. Get screen shots if you get lost then I'll tell you where to go. Btw check device manager as well.

ok, the driver problem is fixed, but now there's a problem...see screenshot...:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
No need to be that demanding.....you'll get ignored more. Nobody is required to answer you...remember you are asking for help so be patient.

So here's my question....did you root the phone already? You should have received a prompt on the phone itself when you pressed ask for root on the flashtool....if you did not then the phone is not rooted. (You can also check the app drawer to see if superuser is installed). Press root, let the phone reboot and you should be set.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callyh87:
Whoops sorry:( well i tried to root the phone and it said "root availible after reboot" and i rebooted the phone. i did not see a change in the phone. is it supposed to be that way? i will try and root the phone again.:)

Well, I'm not a professional, but what you're describing happened to me. I had to connect it in flash mode quicker before it worked. The phone rebooted if I was too slow. But this might not be the reason.

@Lockon Stratos: Yes, it's in the app drawer.:):D

Howdy folks...I'm having trouble getting flashtool to work on my Win 7 pc at home. I can connect to SEUS and PC Companion fine...the phone charges and I can mount my sd and copy files...but when i turn the phone off, hold the back button and plug in Flashtool does not recongnize the phone.

I've reinstalled the usb driver, flashtool and seus...but nothing.

After holding the back button a while the green light is on and i hear the 'dee-doo' sound of the pc recogizing usb...it will dee-doo again a couple times and eventually the phone boots up!??! Strange.

Any ideas?

Oops! I guess u misinterpereted what i was saying. so im going to set it straight. I succesfully rooted the phone. I cleared out system apps from the list and not from the list. so the list of apps which i deleted are here:

-TalkProvider.apk

-playnowbackclient.apk

-playnowback.apk

-LauncherPro.apk

If rendeiro2005 sees this, can he put these on the list for safe apps to delete?

I deleted these apps without a problem.

Hi guys, I'm a noob with a dead xperia 10 mini pro.

I spent the day studying how to flash my 2.1.1.A.0.540 firmware into 2.1.1.A.0.6, in order to install custom roms like MiniCM v2.5, but I screwed up somewhere in the process.

First, I got root access thru Super One Click.

Second, I downloaded the latest X10FlashTool. And since the older versions wouldn't recognize my xperia 10 mini pro, I downloaded and used the newest 0.2.9.1 from this forum.

That allowed me to upgrade my firmware to 2.1.1.A.0.6, using Firmware_generic_2.1.1.A.0.6 aka E10i - X10 mini_2.1.1.A.0.6_Generic_World.ftf.

At that point, everything seemed to be ok. But after booting up I found out that my touchscreen is dead.

Did I use the wrong firmware? Solutions? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance, sorry for my poor english and sorry for being such a noob.

BTW, I can't simply flash 2.1.1.A.0.6 from the SE update service here in Brazil for some unknown reason, so flashing is be my only choice.

Hi,

Ive tried to flash the "X10a_2.0.2.A.0.24_Generic.ftf" file with the flashtool. When I was flashing, I got this error (I forgot to save the log). So then I unplugged the phone from the USB.

And now I can't start my x10, there is nothing when I press the "On" button. But when ever I disconnect the battery and put it back on, and then tried to turn it "On" all it did was vibrate once and the green LED flashed once. And then nothing.
