[Request] Clean SE Rom

Hi I am in desperate need clean official rom that i can install with xRecovery. I need it because the micro usb port has broken on my x10 and i have to send it back to SE. Can the rom also not be rooted and if possible uninstall xRecovery!
Before anybody says it I can not reflash my phone as i can not connect it to my PC :/
Please Help!
How are you going to put the ROM on...?
Download file from phone and then install with xRecovery
You still need to connect to a PC to unroot your phone after if I'm not mistaken.

Yes but if i install a clean rom then it would have no trace of my phone been rooted
What about superuser

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9134882&postcount=1
at the most bottom links, there are 2, Full and Lite, download the full version, install it using xRecovery and find an application called Z4root (or was it 4zroot, something like that) and unroot your phone using that app.
click thanks if it works.
And to everyone else... For crying out loud, if you're not planning on helping jimlimb95, don't bother posting at all.
I was trying to help just did not know how to unroot without the pc. I was also pm'd this. Hope this helps also

if your realy stuck and are sending the phone away you could always delete some important files so the phone will not boot at all then when they fix the phone reflash using SEUS
Thanks for all the ideas guys but they all need me to connect my phone to my computer!
The way that i will have to fix it is using root explorer to delete all of the xRecovery files and busy box. And then i will need to use z4root to unroot my device
Thanks for the ideas you help

As Greenycq20 said you can delete some important system files
What about just flash SE's Global Generic/Nordic 2.1 via Flashrool 0.2.6 ? No need to root it after that?

He can't connect to PC thats the problem
I've got a similar problem, but I just want to update my phone to the latest baseband version ...
Is there anyway to flash without connecting my phone to the PC ?
Regards.
you need a 2.1 stock rom, somebody to use xrecovery and make a backup for you, they will need to zip it, send it to you via dropbox or simular, download it with your phone, unzip it, place the 2.1 backup in xrecovery/backup folder on sdcard, then just use xrecovery to restore, finally un-root your phone.
I can not do it for you my friend as i am on the wrong baseband and testing other roms-good luck.
kX10 Custom SE ROM
You just need the offline charge patch
i am in the exact same position as you i have flashed uk generic so i could update to 2.1 but the usb port has broken and i cannot flash to vodafone uk so i can send it off to repair
use update service fix you system
like the OP our usb ports are broken so we cant connect to our pc/laptop
maybe you should download and install from market
the free application adbwireless. (or one like that)
that will allow you to connect to pc by wifi
and then --> flashtool
(but one question, how do you charge your phone if your micro-usb doesn't work?)
good luck

Help!!! I think i bricked my phone

Hey so i was trying to install de Cm recovery in mi mini pro
So i need it the busybox thing
I went to the market and downloaded the busybox installer app
After i installed busybox everything was going fine
Until i decided to reboot my phone
When my phone rebooted pop ups started to appear about
Launcher pro not working and dpsmananger not working
And then it said that the process system is not working
What can i do there?
I cant reboot into xrecovery
So please help me!!!
It passes the se screen and the bootanimation
the lockscreen works and the touchscreen too even the freaking screen on off animation works
I think it might have to do with the system files or something

I tried using seus but it doesnt work either!
Why u want busybox, if u already have xrecovery? Now u must use flashtool!

Hey you rom experts out there help me out!!!
Use pc compagnon and flash the good old stock. Otherwise flashtool may also help you.
I did the same like you few weeks ago and this is the only way.

i had similar problem with my phone.I download 'Update_Service_Setup-2.11.5.6' from sony ericsson and follow the instuctions.I lost my data and revert back to original 2.1 rom but i had a live phone ..Then i had to reflash the rom
You won't loose your data if you carefully do backups when playing around with roms

Use Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) To Reflash Stock rom without Root. That should do it.
Just download it and follow the onscreen instructions.

How the hell to get CWM to 2.1.1.C.0.0?

Excuse me if this is explained anywhere and I'm just to dumb to find it, Forum Search didn't get me the answer:
I come from the Galaxy S and wanted to install a more featered ROM to my gilrfriends mini pro since I bought it to her and she saw me doing rom stuff on my phone, but only in the last time I read of fully working ROMS (last thing was the cam) because I didn't want her to bother (me) with stuff not working
Now I wanted to install SonyBread, but I'M stuck at installing CWM... I used the apk installer, and the flash tool, but nothing works, CWM nor xrecovery is booting when I hit the back key at SE logo. When I'm searching for the chargemon file, there seems to be the right one there (code says so) and recovery.tar is present. Phone is definetly rooted!
What am I doing wrong? Is it just I'm too into the Galaxy S and just can't see the obvious? And why can't I find a clean install guide for CWM to 2.1.1.C.0.0? Most ROMS say they are for this firmware and have to be installed through CWM, so there MUST be a way..
I hope this is not a to dumb question (but I really didn't find any help through search) and someone can help me, thanks in advance
first Xrecovery via AAIS (search XDA) then install cwm via xrecovery. It's really simple, trust me
use flashtool 0.2.9.1 beta to root and install busybox & xrecovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10738287
then flash cwm:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105745
I've tried both, nothing works. I get xRecovery, but as soon as I flash CWM, I cant get into it...
I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105745. I press the back button repeadetly, but nothing happens for CWM...
I also tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106146 as it looks like its specificly for mini pro, but it needs CWM to install... how am I supposed to install CWM only through CWM?? This makes no sense to me I even tried the manual copy method from this side, but it seems that CWM doesent recognize the back key pressed...
I dont know whats the problem, maybe I try to recover through SEUS and start everything over on a fresh firmware, maybe some testing messed something up.
I cant find any information, if I have to do anything else for 2.1.1.C.0.0 firmware, maybe I have to edit something for chargemon?

are you sure you successfully copied those files to the right folders, and changed their permissions correctly? i suggest you to try again slowly, step by step with extreme attention
2.1.1.Clean.0.0 now has CwM pre-installed.

Jep I'm very sure about the files and permissions, even double checked them with root explorer and file expert...
Anyway, I found THIS and -for whatever reason- it installed CWM correctly, and I was able to get around everything. Up and running SonyBread
Thanks for your help, and maybe the next time its necessary, I'll try this 2.1.1.Clean.0.0 firmware. Sounds like Darky's Resurrection Edition for my Galaxy S, and this ALWAYS worked
nice to hear you solved it, congrats

[Q] Root Xperia Neo MT15i, Version 4.0.4, Build 4.1.B.O.587

So i still cant get my phone rooted.
I have searches all over this forum and find many threads. I have tried many of them and nothing works. For normal people like me mutch of the words and explanations developers give are to complex to understand. I hardly know what a bootloader is, or a cmw file. And even a harder time finding out where and whitch files to download.
Is there not anybody out there who can give a step by step walktrough with links to what to download and how to use it for my kind of version.
I just want to root my darn phone to let Cyanogenmod take it over and make it happy again Any Mod suggestion would be great to.
Ps: i easly rooted and use Cyanogenmod 10 on my Galaxy Tab 2 so i'm not totally retarded
You rooted a galaxy but dont know what cmw is?
Anyway, all instructions are found in the sticky threads. More especially, read the second sticky thread in that section. All instructions ahve been given in exact detail there...
If you are usnsure what the words mean I suggest you read up on them as if you dont know what to do you can damage your phone.
As i said i'm kina a noob. And instead of just confusing me more why don't you or anybody else just try to link me to a guide that works.. As i said i have tried many of the guides in sticky treads and some links there are dead and others dont work.
I have updated to latest ICS and heard that i should be carefull so i dont brick my phon..as the reason i try to get help here. I found a easy guide for my tab where there was a walktrough wit links to the software i needed to downmload and use. And that is what i need here too.
So instead of complaining about how unknowledge i am cant i just get some help instead???
If you would tell us what you tried and where you stuck, maybe someone could help you.
Sticky thread in general section have valid links, as far as I know.

Y dont u unlock bootloader or install CWM and get CM9 or CM10 installed instead of rooting and then flashing CM?
By the way CWM helps u to easily flash ROMS and take nandroid backups and restore them.
So i can Just unlock bootloader and use av rom without rotting at all? This would be great because i only wanted to root it to use rom's on it.
Feel like a kid with a new toy now. Gona run home and try it asap
Some ROM's(like CM,AOKP,AOSP...) require custom kernel.
Some ROM's(mostly, stock based) can work on locked bootloader.
Most(99%) of ROM's are already prerooted.
To install any custom rom, you need CWM, to get CWM you ether need to have root and after that install CWM, or you can flash custom kernel with (in 99% of them) already included CWM.
So for us mortals the problem is still on. Tried to open the bootloader with sony's own tool, but when i turn of my phone and connect usb to get to bootloader it does not findt any drivers.. Even though i downloaded it.
I just want C-mod 10 on my phone and that's it. So how do i flash the custom kernel when i ned cmw to even get it rooted? Sorry but i guess i'm a big noob at this.
Are you on XP?
if yes,
Try to install the drivers on Safe Mode and Plug your mobile while pressing Menu key.
It will install the drivers.
I'm on Windows 7. Acording to the tutorials i found when i plug my phone to usb there should come up a message that says "could not install drivers, and from there i can find them manually.. But no such message comes up and there is nothing in device manager either.
I'm totally lost here. Have tried to root my phone before so maby some old drivers are the reason for this?

So i finally got my phones bootloader unlocked. i used this link to get it done. http://xperiadev.wordpress.com/guidelines-xperia/unlock-bootloader/
So now is the question what next to get my cyanogenmod on my phone.. Am a little scared because i heard that the version i hvae can easily be bricked.
Any ideas.?
Just install custom rom using cwm and dont forget to backup first your current rom using cwm. Later if got any problem and u can just restore it back.

[Q] Can Not Update The Phone

I have a Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 and I rooted it correctly. Then I try to update the software via PC Companion. When I am trying to update it says "Not Connect to the internet". But I have already connected to the internet with ADSL modem.
Then I try to manually do that. I downloaded and install the RecoverX ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773227).
Then I run adb with "adb root recovery" command it says "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"
can anybody help me to figure this out. I am a newbie for these things and help me to update the software.
Thanks
I've never used RecoverX, so I don't know what did you do wrong.
search on the forum for 2.3.3 stock ROM, download it and then flash it with flashtool, check your drivers installed and usb debugging checked. Luck,
you have the drivers if you have pccompanion. download flashtool by bin4ry, its easy to use and can do evrything (but ****iing gold^^)
than search for "dixperia 7 avenger" by dikeJ. there you get 2.3.3 stock rom. or an excellent custom rom
in flashtool, if it can detect your root, install xrecovery (theres a panel "custom recovery installer")
and oit of that recovery you flash the zip file. if you dont have 2.3.3 kernel on your phone (if 2.3.3 is not available in your place), you will first have to flash the stock 2.3.3 kernel (i think also givin in dixperia 7 thread) download it and put it into "firmwares" in tje flashtool folder. then open it, wait till it verified your root and click flash, and chose the kernel. if it doesnt work, unlock
bootloader first (after verified root, click plugins and "unlock bootloader") i suggest you to do this in every way because then you wont have trouble

The problem ur having is with PC companion itself.. for some reason it isn't able to connect to ur net.. check ur firewall settings n make sure its allowed to access net..
Also, since uve rooted ur phone, u might as well look at the post above mine n get a custom ROM
