Brick? lol

http://ertos.nicta.com.au/publications/papers/Carroll_Heiser_10.pdf

makes for interesting reading if anyone is really interested in the benefits of the latest Baseband, independent or irrelevant of whatever "firmware" (often mistakenly called a ROM...) you happen to run, the most important aspect of your phone is the baseband in fact.

ROM has not been cracked and will never be done as it is simply not possible. It is a WRITE ONCE irreversible operation. The ROM or read only memory is in fact an EPROM and as it can never be modified, you can never BRICK your device also.

Edit: too many e's! Eprom.. Not electronically erasabale.. It's write once, non-modifiable

+1 @ Steve! Neat tips for mangled firmware and points out methods for soft flashing / soft modding. Hey... why the long face, the phone is indestructible and if worse comes to worst, just use the SE Update Service and force a factory restore! You might even get the latest baseband on your phone that will eliminate the biggest battery drain - GSM networks! (turn your screen brightness down might also help..)

EDIT: Anyone getting mixed up with the Boot Loader, this will be released soon as working 90% complete.

I need help...

I'm on step one. I have an X10, running 1.6 and it says xrecovery can not be installed on this device.

I tried updating my phone through SEUS and PC companion but when I connect the phone to my computer it says "Device not recognized."

Any help would be great! Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Ah yes sorry, that is perhaps the only thing I have left out, your device must be on android 2.1 or higher for xrecovery! I'll change the first post.

Do you know how to connect your phone to the pc in flash mode?

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rwelsh09:
Yes I do and the computer still says "Device not recognized.":confused:

Is it possible I lost drivers on the phone that are needed to connect? If so, how would I get them back?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Crowds:
you have to remove and install SEUS & PCC again;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
No you wont of lost the drivers because it wouldn't let you install it.

Try uninstalling seus and pc companion, then reboot your pc and then go to the sony website and get tge latest version of seus

I will try this when I get home. However, I don't think this is the problem because I tried connecting another X10 and this one connected perfectly.

Try that first and atleast if its not that it rules out one possibility but id imagine that should fix your device not being recognized

Same thing happened to me today.

"1; First make a full back up with xrecovery. Enter xrecovery, press back up and restore, then press back up and reboot your handset.

2; Make sure you got the flashtool the latest version 0.2.6 go here .If anyone really needs help with the flash tool thank Rendeiro2005 for his flashtool guide for noobs which can be found here I take no credit for his guide, it is his."

done this bit....

i dont understand after this....

what does this mean??

"2a; For issues with how to bundle the amss.sin using the flashtoll this is what you need to do, thanks you kloud for simple instuctions to do this"

1. Place the amss.sin file you downloaded in the folder you created asm.

2. Click on advanced in the fash tool window and click create bundle. Select amss.sin file.

>Enter model name x10.

>Baseband: anything u like, i entered .54

>Branding: anything u like, i entered beta4_2.2.1

3. Create bundle.

Check if the tft file is present in the firmware folder.

4. Click flash... you should now see your amss.sin file.

Flash it in flash mode(Flash Tool will ask you to connect in flash mode) with steps from the first post and your done.

To enter Flash mode:

1. Switch off your phone

2. Reconnect the usb to the phone and at the same time keep the back key pressed continuously.

3; Then then download this from mega upload or use media fire if you have problems with mega upload (these are the same file no need to download twice) .Flash it with the flash tool, not xrecovery. You need to put the amss.sin file into another folder inside the firmware folder. Call this new folder asmm and it will show up so you can select it when you press flash

4a; Turn on the phone but DO NOT LET IT BOOT FULLY, enter xrecovery as soon as you can then flash beta 4 (or your chosen rom) with xrecovery. To install your chosen rom do this, enter xrecovery, choose install custom zip, press choose custom zip from sd card, locate the file, press install and wait for it finish

4b; Then press reboot and then it run for abit to cache etc. It is normal if your handset reboots its self a few times at this point, do not worry this is supposed to happen. When its stopped lagging and running smoothly log into the your Google account. To do this go to settings/account and sync and then select google.

4c; Then reboot into xrecovery and flash gapps.

5; Most people wont have to do this but in any very rare cases where you reboot your phone and when it boots up and it won't pick up any signal you need to do this. Download terminal emulator from here.

5a; You will need to install it with xrecovery so make sure its on your sd somewhere easy to find. To install it enter xrecovery, choose install custom zip, press choose custom zip from sd card, locate the file, press install and wait for it finish then reboot the handset.

i am confused....i am currently running Z's beta 3. with dual touch....

i know i mite be causing u to bang ur head on the wall but...seriously i m lost...i have readt it again and again...but dont know what to do after this backing up with xrecovery...and i want to use CM 6.1.1 Tweaked and with Extras ROM...

anybody help please..

Can I downgrade back to stock 2.1 ROM baseband? my old baseband was 2.0.46
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
I really can't see what is so hard, I'm not a dev or anything like that just a 'normal(ish)' guy and you just need to follow the instructions.

I'm not trying to cause offence here to anyone but if this is too hard perhaps its not for you. Honestly I couldn't explain it any simpler, take a break and have a beer or coffee and have a smoke or something and just take it one step at a time

Yes just download the firmware for the the flash tool and flash, somewhere around here is a thread full of pretty much every stock rom. I don't have the link though sorry so you will need to search

Sent from my Froyo'd x10i running Cyanogen Mod 6.1.1
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Ok my suggestion if anyone is really really really finding this guide to follow.

1 get sony ericsson update service, update your phone or press repair if update isn't shown.

2 download the flash tool at the start and root your phone with it

3 install xrexovery

4 make sure your chosen rom is on your sd card easy to find and roms gapps if applicable

5 back up your phone now with xrecovery

6 wipe everything you can with xrecovery AND DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE KEEP IT ON TURNIG IT OFF WILL MEAN YOU HAVE TO FLASH WITH SEUS AGAIN YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!

7 In xrecovery choose install custom zip and find your chosen rom and install it

This should be an easy way for people finding it very hard, I'm updating the 1st post now with this.

Any chance we could get .49 put in the first post for people wanting to use Gingerbread 2.3.2?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kloud_:
Hey,

That is the method for bundle creation in case u r unable to flash the amss.sin file to upgrade to the latest baseband 2.1.54

If you have successfully flashed the .sin file them omit these steps and proceed with the flashing of the ROM of your choice using xRecovery.

Steps to install ROM :

* Make sure you have a backup of current working ROM, just in case

..*

>Enter xRecovery

1. Select Install custom zip.

2. Select Custom zip from sd card

3. Select your Rom file

4. Confirm

5. Reboot... let the Rom do its thing of re-booting and stablizing.

>After the Rom has stablized:

6. Reboot... Enter xRecovery

7. Flash gapps and Reboot.

You're good to go...! :)

Happy flashing ;)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kloud_:
If you mean J's Gingerbread then I heard that it is working with .54

If not then you can use search and find the sin file on the forum. It should be here. :)

Edit: J has mentioned that the .sin file is included in every package. So download the package and use this guide to flash. :)

Happy flashing ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Guys I can see why you want the .49 baseband for the new J rom but it might be better to have a new thread for it or add to an existing one.

It would be hard for people to find in here as this is labeled baseband 2.1.54 and it wouldn't reallt be relivant to the subject.

I'm not trying to be rude etc etc I just don't think this is the right place in the forum guys.

Please write a more organized tutorial
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
If your a noob don't bother trying, this isn't compulsery. If you find it hard or confusing seriously don't bother amd stick to sony suck ware, this clearly isn't for you.....

Yours is the only negative feed back on this. My advice to you, learn how to understand instructions and make your own more organised guide.

Did you even read far enough to where the easy method is?!

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
HavocDroid: You won't get much help if you insult the tutorial creator, even if you say "please".

steve.adams.x10: That being said, HavocDroid has a point. Please take this as constructive criticism:

1. There are a few spelling errors. The most important one is that you misspell "amss" as "asm" and "asmm". This can be confusing if someone doesn't know what you mean.

2. You describe how to create the FTF package (step 2a) before you describe where to download amss.bin from. It might be better to put it after step 3. Maybe you pasted it in the wrong spot?

3. You used the same numbering of steps for the packaging instructions as for the main steps. Maybe you indented it, but it's gone. Now it looks like: 1, 2, 2a, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4a, 4b, etc.

When I get proper chance I shall try and check for spelling errors and file name mis spellings, most of this guide was writen from my phone, not on a pc.

The part about how to bundle the file was copied and pasted from another users post. As for numbering I'll see if I can improve it but as I stated right at the start please read through the 1st post please read it a couple of times before starting and ensure you understand.

If you find this difficult to follow use the easy install option.

The only thing that remains to be done that I can see is the how to bundle the file being put under stage 3, I'm not able to do this right now as I'm in bed. It was mistakenly pasted to the wrong place, iv read this so many times it is very easy to over look simple mistakes and some basic spelling errors because like I said most of this I have done off my phone.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThunderD:
Hi

Is there any RUU with TMobile Austria branding?

I searched the web but can't find anything for the DHD.

Or is there a other way to recover the TMO_AT branding, like flashing the stock rom, change the cid to TMO_ATand hope for OTA? Will this recover the apps from tmobile?

The reason of my question is,that i want to root my phone and its only possible with a downgrade cause i have 1.75 installed. And i didn't read about a way to save the rom before downgrade. Is there one? Want have the possibility to go back.

Hope you can help me.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad-murdock:
As soon as you rooted and installed custom recovery, make a backup of your stock rom. Save this backup to your pc or even burn it on cd.

After that you can flash a custom rom.in case of warranty, you cam restore the backup then replace recovery with stock and finally install stock hboot.

Swyped with cyanogenmod 7 powered HTC Desire HD. Excuse typos.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThunderD:
Thanks for reply

But before i can root it and install customrecovery, i have to downgrade my phone cause i hab 1.75 installed. And then there is no chance to backup my TMO Rom. Or am i wrong?

Hi Tehpriest. I don't have a sim in the phone as I don't know which network it should be on.

Build number - eclair.adjm1

Just searched for I9000ADJM1 and am I right in saying it is locked to O2.

The O2 simcard I have already tried was an old one (possibly not even 3G)

If I send for a new O2 simcard, is it just a case of fitting it and phone will work?

Here's a very basic countdown timer. You could also do it with a loop i guess, depending on what you want to do with it.

mTextField.setText("seconds remaining: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);

mTextField.setText("done!");

}.start();

It's better do not use the very simple timer. It's better to run Async or Runnable thread, but if you want timer, you can also use TimerTask.

The Market doesn't offer that at all. You need Move2SD Enabler, which will allow you to set the default install location to either internal or SD. You also need root privileges to use it, but I assume you've already got that.
