Hey guys,
I have looked all over the forum, and you all have different versions, im guessing im the only knob with a different version from the rest of you. haha
System Information
Model x10I
Firmware Version : 2.1-update1
BaseBand Version : 2.0.46
Kernal Version : 2.6.29 [email protected]#1
Build Number : 2.0.A.0.504
Now i've finaly got the currouge up to try and root this damn phone, but not having any luck following this guide?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908791
That's not just root mate, that's an entire rom.
Look in the android development area, several ways to root. I used x10 flasher to root mine, fw vers 435.
Sent from my X10i
Yeah, I'm going through that now.
I got it to root in the end with a few of hitting the screen, and smashing buttons
Going through that step, then going to install the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947613 Rom,
and i should have everything i need from doing this complete rom install.
hopefully, plus its practice.
Hey baddie,
The new roms need you on the latest baseband, if you update your phone through PC companion first you will be able to update to any rom without any issues.

Hey sorry for the delay in replying was in bed at the time,
Beta 4 is the latest version of freex10 available, I think I remember seeing that you can use the flashtool to get the latest baseband as well, saves you having to go back to the stock 2.1 just to update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939812 this is by Steve Adams on how to get the new baseband.
In point 4 of his guide follow the link and it will take you to Zdzihu Beta 4.
Everything is in those 2 posts about what you will need to do, but just so you know the way I did it, I was on beta 3 at the time I was jumping back and forth between stock 2.1 and freex10 using xrecovery, I then updated through pc-companion to the latest firmware, then after downloading beta 4 updated the phone and i've been using beta4 every day since.
My only caution (well 2) is when using xrecovery to do the backups they take up quite a bit of space, so just be aware,
2nd and most important always, ALWAYS take a backup. Dump the contents of your memory card to a disk so just incase like me last week if your card is corrupted cause you had it connected to a device that lost power you can just restore it and carry on as if nothing had happened... yeah i didn't do that part caused me no end of headaches as I had lost some text messages that I meant to reply back to, oops.
Saying that, I still haven't taken a backup after gettting it back (smacks own hand)
Just got a Sony Ericsson X10 and it has Android 1.6. I want to upgrade to the latest version of android and want to enable features like multi touch.. How do i upgrade my phone? I dont know anything about android and most of the posts here have just confused me
Hi - and welcome..
Go to the Sony Ericsson website and download and install SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) to your PC..
Fire that up and follow the onscreen instructions (carefully)..
That will get you upto the latest version of the firmware for your phone..
It may NOT be the latest available firmware though depending on whether your phone is customised by a specific carrier/ network?
If it doesn't upgrade you then look settings and about phone then tell us the country and customisation info in there..
Good luck..
If you're feeling brave you can root it too.. and do a load of other stuff.. (took me a while to build up the courage to get into all that side of it.. but was worth it in the end, cos phone performance can be improved dramatically)!

Greets alamode, congrats on your new X10, and welcome to xda.
First off, it's great to hear that you have at least tried to find a place to start with your Android, and I know it can be rather daunting, as well as time consuming.
- If you're only interested in official Sony Ericsson (SE) Firmwares then you can just simply connect your phone to your computer after having installed PC companion on it
and follow the instructions. This should give you the latest official rendition of Android for the X10 which is 2.1 and includes dual touch.
- If however you wish Custom Firmwares which go well beyond anything that Sony could ever offer than I would recommend after having updated through PC Companion
(above) the next step is to 'Root' your X10 which allows you greater access and control over your device and the ability to 'Flash' (install) the many custom Themes, Apps, and ofcourse Firmwares(ROM)s

Thanks for the quick reply guys !..
Well yeah i heard that rooting/flashing your phone opens up a whole new world for you so im definately interested in that. i've heard Sony ericsson wont upgrade X10 to latest versions of android? Can we still update them after rooting/flashing our device?
Anyways ill update my device first from Sony ericsson then.. After that i'll have to root my device? Since i dont know much about rooting/flashing can someone just guide me as to what that is and what it does? Whats the difference between rooting and flashing?
And thanks guys you lot are helpful !

Um No...
Trying to update but keep getting this : unable to install or start phone software update components
Try doing a repair first then try the upgrade..
For rooting.. go to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906248 download Superoneclick to your pc and run it from there..
Rooting will give you access to the system files so if you start rooting around in there deleting things then it can be dangerous - but you can always reflash/ repair using SEUS.
Rooting will also give you the opportunity to install custom ROMS which you'll find on the Dev sub-forum.
Would also recommend that you install JIT once rooted, as this gives a big performance boost. You'll find that on these x10 forums too.
Alright.. This is so frustrating. Been trying to root my phone all night but not really able to get anywhere.. Here's what i did..
First i finally upgraded to 2.1.. I used another PC and somehow it didnt give me the error i was getting earlier at the other PC. Not sure what was the problem there.
After upgrading to 2.1 i decided to root. First i used the SuperOneClick file to root my phone. After rooting, I installed BusyBox and then kept installing xRecovery but with no luck. xRecovery would just not install !!! I coped the apk file and ran the install from the phone, I got the icon but after getting the icon when it comes to the installing part it just freezes and after a while i get an error which gives me 2 options, Either to force close or to wait. I tried the other method too, the pushing method using X10ModTool and that didnt work either. After lots of tries and after getting extremely frustrated i uninstalled the apps and tried to start fresh.. I unrooted my phone using SuperOneClick and decided to root using z4root. I got the icon in the menu for z4root and i clicked on permanent root.. My phone restarts but i dont see the SuperUser icon anywhere.. If i try to install BusyBox it keeps on saying that its trying to get information..
So, So extremely frustrating !
Oh and i forgot to mention that after upgrading to 2.1, my Phone seems to have become slower while swishing between screens..
Which build number version do you have as the Superoneclick is for 2.1.A.0.435 and 2.0.2.A.0.24.
2.1.A.0.435
Im just not able to get root access ! Ive tried X10 Flash Tool, Ive tried SuperOneClick, Ive tried another software as well.. I just cant seem to get the root access..
I Installed Root checker and everytime after i root i check and it says that you do not have root access.. :S
help !

Install xRecovery and then you can even upgrade your phone to 2.2 there are some good ROMS available on this forum, you can check this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=617
Thanks. Yeah i have xrecovery installed as well.
What is basically a ROM? From my understanding its a customized firmware? If so, Which ones the best at the moment? I cannot compromise on functionality (as in i dont want that i cannot use bluetooth/camera/wifi or some other feature because of the rom). So basically i just want a stable rom in which i dont have any limitations. Also what is the advantage of using another rom anyway?
Thanks !
Okay.. ran a few of those optimizations and stuff and the phone is running a bit better. Can you guys tell me what is a good Benchmark score for Stock 2.1 on x10? im getting 33.4 MFLOPS right now.. is that alright?
I still am experiencing a little stutter in the menus, so i installed LauncherPro and that seems to have taken care of it.. I dont understand why cant i get the stutter to go away in the original home screen?
Lastly, Another problem ive been having.. My mobile is connected via USB but instead of it charging up, It is very very slowly losing charge. It went from 95% to 89% in around 45-60 minutes. Whats that all about?

For me the best 2.1 ROM so far is bluesparks, it is very fast and stable. Everything works in this ROM.
As for a 2.2 ROM, i just love wolfbreak's CM6.1.3 v4.3. Everything works except for the camcorder. For getting the camcorder to work you can download video illusion from the market. The quality wont be as good though. However this ROM is just too good. Too fast and stable with good animations.

Is this the 2.2 Rom you were talking about:

Secondly, If i do install this ROM, Will all my applications and everything be deleted? Is there a way to just simply install the ROM and keep everything as it is?

Yeah, that is the 2.2 ROM I was talking about. Make sure you install the correct one depending on your baseband.
In order to keep everything, make a backup of your apps using titanium backup. You can then restore your apps after installing this ROM. Thats what I did.
Wolfbreak has given another way here:

Ah thanks, I might go for 2.1 cause of the camcoder.. Any chance of a fix for it coming in 2.2?

Ok I just got an x10 that is running 1.6. I know nothing about android phones I was an iphone user so this is very new to me. Do I need to upgrade first or do I need to root it first. Can someone please provide me with the links to the threads I need to do this in? Like I said I am very new to this and I do not want to brick this phone. Also whats the latest version that i can upgrade to where everything works
congratulations on turning away from the darkside!.. There are a few things you can do and it really depends on how far you want to push it..
You can upgrade it then root it and stick largely to the stock ROM - remove any of the junk that you don't need but SE thinks you need.. and install JIT (Just In Time Compiler) to improve performance..
or you can go the whole hog and root it, and flash a custom rom onto it.. this option appears to be slightly riskier - a few people seem to have got very messed up phones doing this - but most (99%?) seem to be okay..
My preference is to upgrade to 2.1 (make sure you've got the dual touch version) - because your in America I assume that you have and X10a - so you'll need to download flashtool to your pc from here. and install the canadian X10a firmware.
probably most of what you want to do is here.
I would recommend you to use the Upgrade Service which is available in Sony Ericsson's website. It has detailed on-screen instructions and I think it is the easiest way to upgrade your phone to the newest 2.1 firmware with dualtouch.
After that, you might find it useful to root your device using binary's flash tool (one-click).
Download the flashtool from Androxyde's thread on the Development forum. Then flash the latest 2.1 FW with the latest baseband and Dual touch. Then use the Root option in the flash tool. Then download Root Explorer app and install XRecovery. At that point you can flash any ROM u want without a PC. That is the easiest wasy to do it and if u follow the directions its foolproof.
Do it all in that order.
Edit: There is no reason to use the SE Update Service if you are going to use the flashtool to root. Everything should be done from the flashtool. And nobody who has followed the procedures has "messed up" their phone by doing any of this. Just dont do anything if you dont know what it is or cant find references on how it works. Because the X10 Bootloader cannot be accessed there is virtually nothing you can do to permanently "brick" your phone, any issues that arise can generally be repaired by restoring a backup or reflashing the FW.

don't think he'll be able to upgrade using SEUS.. I don't think that America have released the upgrade! worth a try though, unless someone from that part of the world can confirm
Yes att has no upgrade for USA so don't bother with seus except for repairs.

I agree with this. I started this week with an X10a and fully upgraded to 2.1.1 sumting..anyways I did "brick" my phone once but no worries I just reflashed using the remove battery method and flash tool. While I did have everything working my battery died from a full charge overnight. So now I'm using Erick Will's Custom .435+Arc+Timescape. Most stable from what I've read so far.

To flash 2.1 I used flashtool as stated in an earlier post. Once 2.1 is installed find the ROM you want to run, and use xRecovery to flash it. I personally think CM 6.1.3 is one the better ROMs out there, but find the one that works for you.

Good Morning everyone (or afternoon or night)!
Yesterday i flashed CM7 for the first time ever (Never flashed nothing before, except TWRP which i did it like 2 days ago.). Flashed it through TWRP Recovery and had a problem but solved it (froze on CM7 Logo). But this morning i noticed i had another problem, no GSM! When i flashed it and booted into system i found it wierd that it didnt ask me for my PIN but i was waaaaay to sleepy to think about it. But thats not all, as I found that i didnt had GSM, I also noticed that i didnt have my SIM contacts listed.
So if any of you could help me with this i would really appreciate it, as i really need my GSM working!
Any kind of help is welcome! Even if it means Flashing another ROM. Just really need my GSM working for now!

- Before CM7 i had the 2.3.3 official update
PS: Yesterday when i had that freezing problem at CM7 Logo i flashed the patch mik mentioned on the FAQ's (see "Q: I flashed rom and GSM don't works. What's to do?"). It says that would fix that freezing problem and also would fix the no GSM problem but it didnt!
Thank you all in advance for all the help you might give!

You can restore something only if you backed it up. So if you made a backup of your old ROM go into recovery and hit restore. If not either flash a .zip ROM or use KDZ.
Good and bad news guys! i restored my 2.3.3 stock ROM and managed to get GSM again.(had to downgrade the baseband for 2.3.3 stock), that is the good thing!
The bad thing(not that bad i think i can manage to get it ) is that i wanted to flash a custom ROM but im not sure if i should do it because i thought CM7 was one of the best ROM's to flash and i was amazed by it at first! But that GSM thingy got me a bit mad and a bit insecure about doing it again. I wouldnt get mad and would have kept the ROM if i had solved the GSM problem but i didnt!
Any suggestions of what i should do? Any ROM's suggestions? (preferably with that awesomeee CRT off animation [yeah every one loves it!])
Ill wait for your replies! thank you very much for everything you done to help!

If u want to have CM7 by Mik you have to downgrade your baseband. Short way is using KDZ to flash old version of firmaware (v10a or similiar), then ROOT, install custom recovery and then flash CM7.
Well the only experience i have at rooting was by rooting my p500 with 2.3.3 official with superoneclick! I dont really know how to downgrade the firmware and root it on froyo! But if anyone could provide the way to do that i would really appreciate it!
Btw im sry if im asking too much, but i prefer the opinion and help of a more experienced person than just me finding something and boom! Bricked! But i also search even if i ask you guys something!

btw i was really disappointed with CM7 (or i just dont know nothing about it!). I used it all day (even though i had GSM) and i had no messaging widget, no market, and other things i dont remenber! If i flash it again is there a way to have those apps and widgets like normal stock ROM has?

No market? U forgot a flash gapps. Other Widgets I dun think so.

Yep, as terratrix, you must flash gapps in order to get the market on your phone and install everything you want....
Concerning abt stock widgets, CM7 does not include any stock lg crap... although you can install them later if you want, there are posts on how to install stock **** again but dunno where they are ...
btw, --> here you have the lastest gapps available: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
for your security, flash this zip with Zip Signature Verification on in TWRP, to ensure that everything its going to be perfect
Thank you very much guys! ill probably flash sonygen but not sure yet! Need some opinions! if anyone is willing to give some i would appreciate!

Sonygen is pretty nice and fast. It's a themed cm7, so if you like the SE style go ahead and flash it.

2.6.35.7
Build Number
SCH-I500.EI20
I am wanting to completely root my phone and install a clean slate of Gingerbread on it.
I've tried Z4Root, (I was able to root my phone with it back in 2.1), and have also tried Super One Click.
Nothing works now that I have Gingerbread and I can't find anything TO work.
I am praying to the xda gods for their wisdom and knowledge to help me with this problem! I have been at this since 9AM, it is 2PM. What can I do??
i dont use sgs, but i do know cfroot kernel or any other kernel based on cfroot can help u out.

Thank you
Thanks man, Ill check those out!
JollyRogersOne I have the same problem If you find a way please let me know.
Same Problem
If anyone comes up wit a good link or video that will be very helpful
I have this same phone and took a look at the links in the second post. However the kernel numbers don't seem to be following the same format as the links in the thread.
Has anyone had any luck rooting this kernel on the c spire galaxy s showcase?
I tried Odin3 and it messed up my phone and I had to go get a new one.
I'm also looking for help on this as well.
SuperOneClick
I'm having the same issues. I have tried SuperOneClick and it stops on step 6.
I'm having the same problem too after updating to 2.3.5. Super one click freezes on step 6.
Same issue with my CSpire SGS running 2.3.5. I do think that speed and battery life are improved over 2.2, but I miss my root.

If you used Odin, I doubt that it messed up your phone. What did you try to flash with Odin?

Did you guys do the official update with Kies? Send me a PM for a way to get a rooted ROM on your Showcase.
I did so the official update from C Spire. I'm not interested in a custom rom I just want to root my phone so I can use wifi tether with my galaxy tab again.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've ran several custom roms on my phone, but would like the option to just run stock with root so I can remove all of the bloatware from CSpire.
I've also had various issues with some other roms, ranging from no auto-rotate to glitchy in-call audio.

(Same method but with consolidated attachment and directions)
Cannot figure out adb.
I've tried all things to reroot after gingerbread update. Now I'm here to try this method. I cannot however figure out the command process. Can someone please be a bit, or a lot, more explanatory. I'm probably the most noobish person here.
Thanks!
I want stable gingerbread with root.
I'm on gingerbread 2.3.5 c spire.
Galaxy s i500.
I have odin and do not know how to use it.

This worked great. I did have to reboot (as you always should...I just get impatient sometimes...) to get everything flowing smoothly. It scared me on reboot because I thought it was getting hung up, but right before I pulled the battery it went to the screen lock. Phew.
Thanks guys!
Im not able to get Odin to recognize my phone. Is there another way?
I suck at this. I want to root my phone but can never do it right. I have the C spire Samsung Galaxy S with 2.3.5. Can you please help... email me please, [email protected]
