thankyou very much for your quick answer

but if i want to root my xperiamini st15, can i do that with that flashing tool or is another way?

i followed the "[FIRMWARE][4.0.A.2.368][Mini][ST15i][Smultron] Official Firmware + ROOT solution" link and i end up reading about that flashtool and i don't know if it's the right choice.

I want to root my x10i which has 2.1. so I can install titanium backup and backup game saves and everything else, I need to root it to be able to do that. So when I root it, install titanium backup and back up what I need will I be able to normally upgrade to the stock 2.3. with the sony eriscsson update service? (I am running stock 2.1., never flashed anything before and never rooted)

Also does the phone stay rooted when I update from 2.1. to 2.3. or it does not? If then I want to install custom 2.3. rom will I be required to root it again or not?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
sorry for delay.

1. Just follow the procedures as described on 5th Post to get root access

2. do your backups.

note: personally i won´t recommend titanium. Rather use THIS app. Just check USB debugging on your phone through settings>apps>development then run ADB Mask Controller.exe click on sync button (top left) and youll see all your apps on the left then tick on push & pull tab, select all user apps from left and pull selected (all your apps will be placed on ADB Mask Controller folder)

3. Upgrade your android version through SEUS / PCC / or flashtool (if you use flashtool go HERE and choose your desired file)

4. After you get 2.3.3 and IF you want to get rooted and with xRecovery go HERE and download x10_2.3.3_stock-with-xrecovery.ftf file.

5. Proceed as discribed on 3rd POST

I think this is it:D

Flashtool not reading certain ftf files

Hi

Am facing an issue the flashtool is not recognizing X10_aZuZu_Kernel_Downgrade_Generic.ftf

X10_aZuZu_Kernel_UpGrade_Generic.ftf

BUT recognizes

X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only kernel_baseband.ftf

I am placing all the files in FlashTool\firmwares folder

Version of FlashTool : 0.3.0.0

Please help as flashing aZuZu kernel downgrade is the 1st step to bl unlocking!!! cant proceed futher....:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
Hummer...I'm really not sure since I use another version, so.

- are those files ftf?

- try to rename them or unzip them of that's the case

- or the best option. Search for a 2.9.1. Version from Doom witch has those 2 filed
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kolowner:
does it backup my game saves? because I don't wanna lose angry birds saves and from other games too

so after I update my rooted x10i with SEUS to (stock) 2.3.3. I should flash this (stock) 2.3.3. from the link you gave me and xrecovery will be installed?

Can't xrecovery be installed separately too?

And the phone requires rooting again after I update through SEUS?

Thanks for the answers :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
through that process no despite the fact i think you have a folder on your sdcard witch those saved level are saved. not sure tho.

i said OR not one then other.

i said also ... with root and xrecovery already in

if you decided through SEUC or PCC yes, you´ll need to do all (root & xRec)

cheers;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kolowner:
I've been looking for that folder but wasn't able to find it, didn't find any instructions online either,

Also it should be in the phone memory since it's installed in the phone right? I can't access the phone memory from my computer, only from the mobile phone itself with an explorer program, wasn't able to find it there either, so I have to go with titanium backup for those games and stuff

oh ok, thanks, ill update through seus and then root again :)

hmm you would recommend flashing 2.3. with xrecovery and rooted right? much more simple and quicker? no bugs problems etc?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawgone:
Guys need help.

I bricked my X10 Mini and will reflash to bring it back to normal.

I downloaded the ftf file from the link in the first page, however inside the folder are .sin files.

I understand I need to create an ftf file for flashing and according to the instructions, I need a dualtouch file. Where will I get that?

EDIT: Lol I just figured out that I was reading an X10 Tutorial a while ago haha. I simply created an ftf file and reflashed through limegre3n's tut and also farhanino's initial post.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kolowner:
wow I didn't mean anything bad I just saw crowds posting on other topics and not replying here so I wondered, I am sorry if that caused any inconvenience.

Still, no reply to my question - is it more simple and quicker to flash the rom from the link you gave me than to update to 2.3.3. through SEUS?

My plan is to see how stock rom is for a while and then choose a custom rom to flash, and here is where some questions open up for me (because I don't know which things persist through flash and which don't):

Since I flashed a rom with xrecovery installed (the one you gave me the link for), will xrecovery stay installed or I will need to install it manually once when I flash the new custom rom?

And second, root doesn't stay if/when I flash the other custom rom and I will need to root it myself right?

Thank you :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
Ok.

By installing through seus you'll loose everything.

If you install the 2.3.3 provided by DoomLoRD (search for it cause I'm on phone) you won't.

Also, after that you may install the proper kernel and never loose root and xrec.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kolowner:
Actually I am asking will I lose those things I mentioned after I install the other custom rom [I said I'm going to install DoomLord's first just to see how stock is and then another one that I choose to get the best performance and keep it that way(any suggestions for a nice custom rom btw?]?

and what's with updating kernel, doesn't it update along with the rom?

Here's my plan, please tell me if everything is alright:

1. install flashtool

2. root my 2.1. xperia x10i

3. backup data from my 2.1. xperia x10i

4. flash doomlord's stock rom with root and xrecovery installed

5. have fun with it and see how stock 2.3.3. works on my xperia x10i

6. choose another custom rom to flash because I want to unleash the potential my x10i has

7. flash that other custom rom I chose

8. recover my backed up data and start using the phone with its full potential unleashed

9. is wondering are xrecovery and root at that point really needed for a simple user as I am and does titanium backup work with custom roms?

I am sorry if I am bothering you or anything, I am just not getting clear answers on what should I do, there's always something that I keep wondering about, I do not want to damage my phone so I want all the information I need, I hope you understand me :/
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
You can pass the 2nd and 3rd stages.

The best to backup is xrec cause titanium may conflict sometimes.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kolowner:
ok, can you provide me with an xrecovery download link please because I can't find it anywhere?

I will need to install xrecovery to backup my data even before I flash the doomlords rom then, and recover it after I flash?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kolowner:
I just thought of this - do you suggest I root my phone and backup with titanium backup and then recover with titanium backup once I have doomlord's rom (which is stock rom so it would work) and then backup with xrecovery which comes with doomlord's rom and restore with xrecovery when I get a new custom rom;

As much as I figured out, xrecovery comes with installation of a new rom, so there is no way I can have it now while running normal stock 2.1. and it's best to use TB first and then xrecovery when I get it?

And how can I skip the 2nd stage if I need to root my phone in order to flash a new rom?

separate drivers for flash mode

This thread being for noobs needs to have at least a mention in the main post that the SE USB drivers only enable standard stuff like adb and ddms and rooting with flash tool - anything that doesn't require flash mode.

For people coming over from the world of unix-like OSs (that don't need USB drivers) and HTC phones with fastboot, the need for specific flash mode drivers is very important information. ;)
