Decrypting Roms - XPERIA X10 Android Development

Hi All,
I seem to remember there being a guide to decrypting roms for the x10.
I've saved a backup of my oz optus firmware from pc companion and was hoping to make an unecrypted version of it to be used with flashtool.
I've tried searching and I simply cannot find the guide to unencrypt (That's if memory serves me correctly and it even exists.)
Could someone please point me in the right direction.
Cheers

This link might should be what your looking for - title has changed a few times

Does anyone know how to do it tho? I downloaded the "tool to partially decrypt" but it doesn't show any instructions or anything.. Just a bunch of files..

That tool won't decrypt the ROM. I will decrypt it soon (read: when I get access to my external HDD).

With that said lollylost, Do you need me to upload the two files somewhere?
Main reason I wanted to decrypt it was to extract the optus my account apk as its not available on either the market or the optus.com.au website.
And yeah i'd allready downloaded the decompression tools. Lollylost, have you got some sort of application or even a guide on how to decrypt the firmwares?

Would be nice if you could upload the firmware since all my firmwares are on the inaccessible HDD.

Hey guys, maybe u can help me...
i flashed my x10i with flashtool to the R2BA(shipped) Rom ok,
but now id like to flash it back to my old .16 Rom which i had before on ma device, it is a unbranded .16 version, id like to flash it back cuz i want to make later if hopefully the new R2BA for free devices comes out in SEUS to flash it officially,
ive saved my original files: 2 files :111Mb , the other : 16Mb
but how do i flash it back !? with flashtool its not possible i guess isnt it ?
ive tried flashing with seus by changing files in the db folder (by the way is there somewhere a description how to do that exactly ? )but it doesnt seem to work...
pls guys i need ya help

Reflashing has been covered before but since I had trouble with it I feel for you so i'll post my lil guide
Hopefully its allowable to link to file on other sites (If not can a mod feel free to edit this post and I'll create a pdf guide if thats okay).
EDIT: Turns out as a new user I can't link to external sites and services. With that in mind if you do a google search for "download SEUS" and scroll down till you see the sony ericcson site, you should be okay.
Step 1
Download SEUS if you dont allready have it (NOT pcCompanion that a different program)
Step 2
Using SEUS, run your phone through a repair. That means let SEUS download firmware and install it to your phone.
Step3
When using SEUS the db folder will be in C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\YOURIMEINUMBERGOESHERE\blob_fs
Find the two largest files in that folder select it so its highlighted & press F2 on the keyboard to rename the file. The filename will now be highlighted. Press <Ctrl> + <C> to copy the file name to your clipboard, press <ESC> to cancel the rename.
Now that you have copied the Filename to your clipboard, locate where you saved your original firmware files and highlight the largest one. Press <F2> again and this time press <Ctrl> + <V> . This will paste the new filename onto your firmware.
Do the same for the second largest file.
Step 4
With the file rename complete, you can now copy the two files you just rename into your C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\YOURIMEINUMBERGOESHERE\blob_fs folder.
Step 5
Run through the repair again with SEUS however this time when SEUS says its downloading it will take a matter of seconds and then flash your original firmware back onto your phone.
Step 6
ALL DONE Enjoy your original firmware.

Lollylost: I tried to upload files and it crapped out about 50% of the way through.
I did notice that there was once an SEUS plugin that you had uploaded to hotfile that did the decrypt on the fly, is it still possible to get this plugin so i can finally extract the my account.apk and get on with rooting my phone?
Cheers

LollyLost: I've uploaded the firmware for you it's here: http://www.multiupload.com/RAOCA34155
If you could do me a favour and extract the my account application on there so I can root and put back the usage counter would be great.

You may find the ConvertTools below.. This is just sick
Old way of decrypting ROM
Below is the guide to decrypting ROM which comes from SEUS. By following this guide, you will have your branded ROM decrypted as SIN files and later you can flash back the ROM to X10 with flashtools. So you can root and debrand all you like without worry because later you can flash your branded ROM back to your X10.
Tools:
jerpelea SIN Reconstructor
http://hotfile.com/dl/52847024/13749f6/SIN_Reconstructor.rar.html
Requirement:
Your Xperia X10 must have the any version of the branded ROM installed first. If you already rooted or debranded it, you must rebrand it with your ROM first. See other threads about how to achieve this. The SIN Reconstructor tools cannot be used to extract the tho downloaded ROM files directly.
Step 1. Getting the extracted ROM from SUES
Task: Getting the targeted ROM files ready to be flashed with SEUS.
Do an update with SEUS to get your latest branded ROM, and let the ROM to be flashed to your X10. After this you will have the two files in SEUS db ready and next flashing, you don't need to download anymore and SEUS will flash it directly for you.
Task: Installing the extractor files to SEUS
Inside SIN Reconstructor, you will find com.sonyericsson.cs.usbflashnative_2.10.6.24.jar in seus directory. Backup your usbflashnative.jar from your SEUS plugin's directory somewhere else first, then copy the com.sonyericsson.cs.usbflashnative_2.10.6.24.jar file to plugin directory and then rename to the one you back up just now.
Task: Extracting ROM with dump0
Now you create a file in SEUS root. You need to create a file name dump0, make sure its dump0, not dump0.txt if you create the file using notepad and rename it. The run the SEUS update again. This will reflash your X10 then afterward, you get a lot of sign and bin files in SEUS root directory. Then you move the file somewhere else first
Task: Extracting ROM with dump1
Same as above but now you need a file name dump1, and the file dump0 must not exists in SEUS directory. After you are finished with reflash, you will have a lot of sign and bin files again, then move somewhere else.
Step 2. Identifying the bin and sign files
Because the extracted rom files are named in number, you need to identify and rename them first. When renaming, you need to rename pair of sign and bin files to the designated name.
When making SIN files, you only need to create this file below:
amss.sin
boot.sin
dsp1.sin
recovery.sin
system.sin
userdata.sin
The rest of SIN files is the same with other debranded SIN files you downloaded before which are:
amss_fs.sin
apps-log.sin
cache.sin
fota0.sin
fota1.sin
How to identify is very easy, find the file and the rename
amss file size is about 15Mb
boot file size is about 5.1Mb
dsp1 file size is about 8Mb
recovery file size is about 5.4Mb and bigger then boot.sign
system file size is the largest
userdata file size is 4Kb
When you have all this pairs renamed, copy them to SIN Extractor files directory.
Then we need to recheck the rebuild.cmd against the sign file size. Guides taken from rebuild.cmd
Code:
@echo off
@echo sizes are adjustable for every sign file
@echo if your file size differs from mine
@echo adjust count= vith the value obtained from
@echo size of .sign file -17 and correct the value
@pause
@echo amss.sin
@..\tools\dd if=../files/amss.sign bs=1 skip=13 count=4074>amss.sin
@..\tools\cat ../files/amss.bin >>amss.sin
Meaning that if the amss.sign file size is for example 5017, then you need to change the count into 5000.
If you finished to this step, you have the you decrypted rom almost ready, all you need to do is copy the amss_fs.sin, apps-log.sin, cache.sin, fota0.sin, fota1.sin from other debrand ROM you downloaded.
Then you have your decrypted ROM ready. Mission accomplished
For those asking why dump0 and dump1 will create same files, except for extra 8699.bin and 8699.sign, i just recreate the dump guide, i don't know if you just do with dump1 straightaway will get you the same thing if you do dump0 and dump1. too lazy to test.
Both Dump0 and Dump1 present will work
i really dont gettin over it,
could you please be so nice and do the decrypting of my A1 ( Austria) files?
kind regards DAuL
is not that i don't want to help. but decrypting rom requires you to flash your x10 with the targeted rom first. which means i need to reflash mine and do the whole thing again.
which part of the process give you.trouble. i'll help you solve it.

Could this thread be stickied?
bump! mod, make this stickie... please
If next root update come, which means i might reset my whole phone and root, and configure all over again, i might as well help you guys decrypt your branded ROM.
Please upload somewhere like megaupload or hotfile (except rapidshare) for me to download, and later i'll decrypt and post to the decrypted branded rom thread.

Wow, that's good for you. Where is this exploit root method discussion anyway. Seems that i missed the posts. Even though i doubt i will use the exploit to root SingTel firmware now which is still a R2BA020 fw. hahaha.
we are couple steps behind the other, because the fw contains SingTel Timescape Live Traffic Update mods.

It's here:
X10 Mini/Pro Root Method
You probably missed it because you thought it was about the X10 Mini/Pro. Actually, it started with instructions for using the new "exploid" root for the Mini, but then it was discovered that it also works (as is) with the X10.
The good thing about this root method is that you don't have to debrand or downgrade in order to use it. In other words, you can stay with whatever ROM you currently have and not have to lose apps, contacts, SMS, etc. But of course you can also debrand it and then root it if you want (which is nice if you want the latest firmware).
EDIT: Oops, MrKingLouie already posted the link.

Yes, unless your branded firmware stucks with R2BA020 like mine. Thanks for the replies anyway. I flashed mine with R2BA026 and root it.

Step 1. after downloading the rom and flasing it to the x10 i cant find files ready & next flashed.
Step 3. I cant find the folder root in seus
Step 4. same as step 3

Can't return to stock rogers rom!

Hi guys, Im trying to bring my phone back to rogers stock firmware and I can't seem to do it. I downloaded the unbricker tool and the firmware, which has 2 files named "1" and "2". I got no idea how to use the firmware with the unbricker tool, so can someone help me?
Thanks in Advance
Sounds like you downloaded the SEUS firmware files and you are trying to use the debricker tool which requires .sin files.
You can use the 1 and 2 file with SEUS software by following the instructions in that thread. You basically need to replace the files in a directory for SEUS while it's downloading them. One file is 16mb and the other is 125mb+. There may be a better firmware for you to download for use with the debricker.
wait im confused by your post can you try and maybe explain it a bit clearer? thanks
The 1 and 2 file are for use with the Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) and not the debrick process. You'll need the Rogers files that are intended for use with the debricker and not the ones you have.
It is possible to use the 1 and 2 files to restore your phone to stock but it's more complicated and I'd suggest just getting the correct files.
I believe you need the first file (WWE_R1FA014 under X10a) in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793
okay and do I replace all the files? because when I tried to only replace the ones already there, it gave me the exclamation mark and I had to go back to the debranded version.
Read the thread for decrypted roms. You need to replace the .sin files from the flash tool with the .sin files from the firmware version you downloaded from that page. Then run the flah tool with the new files in it. Its pretty simple once you figure it out.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
do I only replace the .sin files? and do I add the extra .sin files in?
Files 1 and 2 are not files that we are looking for.That link bring us wrong files.
Now do one thing download flash tool from here http://hotfile.com/dl/44983907/9d54b5e/XIOFUB.rar.html
Then downlaod files from this link http://hotfile.com/dl/43225669/598ad...4_DEK.zip.html.
The file we download from this link has two folders.extract them then copy files from them to flash tool folder. Then root your xperia x10 and you are ready with RB014 original one. You can update it from SEU. EASY!
hmm, everytime I replace the files, my xperia x10 gets the bricked picture. Do I HAVE to root it before reflashing?
edit: there is an "update.xml" file in the android.... folder and the phone folder. Which one do I use?

In the Rogers rom file, there should be two zip files in there.
- android_1233-6929_R11A_R1FA014.zip
- phone.zip
Now
- Unzip the flashtool first, and then unzip the phone.zip to the flashtool folder and replace any files it prompts.
- Unzip android_1233-6929_R11A_R1FA014.zip and replace any files it prompts.
- Rename or delete System.sin and userdata.sin inside the flashtool folder.
- Rename system_S1-SW-LIVE-AC12-0001-S1-PARTITION-WITH-SPARE.sin to system.sin
- Rename userdata_S1-SW-LIVE-AC12-0001-S1-PARTITION-WITH-SPARE.sin to userdata.sin
Try to flash the phone again see if this will work (Just tried it yesterday, it worked for me.)

PLEASE help to Flash my SE X10i mini pro from 1.6 to higher version!

After reading about 3-4 days this forum...my head is totaly in chaos.
I'm owner of u20i mini pro
Simply I do not understand many things here..
First of all I have v1.6 and what I want is to upgrade android version to use Skype and Trillian (IM client). So my first question is what is the most stabile firmware for my phone?Is there any newer versin than link in next sentence?
I try with this post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895370
The problem is that the link for Flashtool version for that firmware is broken. So just new version can find v0.28.
I downloaded system.zip file and extract firware folder to Flashtool folder. But when I click on flash and browse to firmware folder there is nothing! So what can I do?
What does it meant to decrypt files? Do I need to decrypt that downloaded files from system.zip folder (from folder firware)???
Is it enough to make just a "Bundle Creation" from advanced menu in FlashTool v0.28 and then continue from step 6 with ftf extensions?
Notice: My phone is rooted and I have a Xrecovery instaled and have a USB drivers for flashing.
My phone is now simunlocked so I can use every sim card. Is there any danger that after I flash my phone with newer android that it wil be simlocked? Sorry for stupid question..but I must to know.
So if someone want to help me I will be thankful.

[Q] I hope I'm not being a bother

I'm a noob but i can usally grasp technology pretty easy . I'm trying to flash my phone but when i try to choose the file from the firmware (yes its in there i checked) its not there at first i just chose the folder flowed the instructions to see if it worked anyway but it didnt work. i tried both flash tool FlashTool version 0.2.9.1 and FlashTool version 0.2.8 but none worked (they were both the same i think) im using vista if that helps. Help please
First things first you're using Vista... Thats always a problem LOL... sorry =)
No, it shouldn't be...
You should just be able to select the folder that the file is placed in and it should come up on Flash Tool...
Let me ask... in the folder is it one file or a group of files??
i just put the rar file in there and unpacked it there

What files did you get out of the extracted RAR?
MD5,X10a_1.0_2_1_A_0_435 one text one ftf
Have you put all files in the firmwares folder of x10flashtool?
yeah i have
So you can see the files when you press FLASH in flashtool, and then select the file you want to flash? Where does it fail? Explain better.
i click on flash the i click on the 3 little dots to choose a folder it says the folder is empty. I can only see the file it i go in my download where i have my flash tool folder
That shouldnt be necessary, if you have the tft file in the firmwares folder it should come up directly when you click flash. Dont know what could be wrong! :s You have extracted flashtool right? And the firmware files..
yeah......
also i dont know if this will help but the only click-able buttons are flash donate and save log. The others are just there

And off course there is not any file or folder named update.app in the downloaded .zip/extracted file. "as i have mentioned above the folder contains a folder named META-INF and three img files named as boot cust and system while a .bin file named logo too.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP.

So after I select the Reworked scatter file there is only the sec_ro partition checked to flash. So after flashing it do I now select the previous scatter file and then flash everything (including preloader)?
