I'm currently running stock 2.3.3 from SE (through Rogers in Canada) with baseband 2.1.71 (rooted since it was released)
I planned on installing CM7 on my phone so I decided to unlock my bootloader so that it is ready when I eventually do so. I used FlashTool 0.6.7.0 to unlock it and it ran without any problems.
However I'm unable to turn Wi-Fi on. It only says "Error" and I'm not too sure what's wrong. I tried searching for answers but others with same issues were using custom ROMs while I'm still on stock.
Anyone know what I can do to fix this? If you're missing any information to be able to help me, please let me know and I will post them. (I have about a week to fix this as I'll be leaving on vacation and I'll need wifi working)
Thanks!
If you have really opened bootloader, for such device special kernels are necessary (stock or custom). Flash by FlashTool one of such ftf-kernels, then install with utility xRecovery the module wi-fi for this kernel.
The author of each ROM recommends, what kernels to use and gives the link on downloading.
just look for the kernel tht is meant for unlocked bootloader tht should work with stock rom n then flash kernel via flashtool n wifi modules file through xrecovery ur wifi will work
Which kernel u using? U prob need the relevant WiFi modules.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot tonight. I noticed it mentioned to install a custom kernel but seeing how everything else was fine I skipped that step. (ooops )
I had that "error" on my stock with zKernel.I dont know cause,but i fix it with reinstall zKernel..Try with zKernel for stock..

Well, installed FXP105 and everything seems to be buttery smooth. Wifi is working now (yay!), but now camera is not working. Also tried with Vignette and no go.
Gonna search around a bit.
Thats ICS man,camera dont working and some other stuff eather.Its stable but its not for everyday use.
Sent from my xperia "z10i"
It's not ICS... I installed CM7.2. Found out FXP105 was missing a lib file for camera so I'll fix it later.
Thanks for all your help guys
FXP105 is 9.0 (ICS),thats FXP54 i think.

Use it when your baseband is 54+ and want to try out J's cm7 rom or rdannar's GB Miui rom or Arc rom.
Tested working on J016 and J017 and rdannar's GB Miui - for stock kernel only.
Do it at your own risk and it's not supported by J
Patch it with cm7bb54.zip
Restore back the original with cm7bb52.zip (if you decide to change base band)
This patch won't solve any problem that may come with the rom (such as wlod)
Note: This patch won't work on Trip's GB Miui
pls hit Thanks button if it helps you
I want to make sure I got this all correct:
1. If on bb.54+, flash cm7bb54.zip to patch/use cm7
2. If previously flashed to bb.52, flash cm7bb52.zip to go back to bb.54+
Would I have to flash each zip file every time I want to go back and forth between each rom?
Thanks cobrato!
1.correct
2. only if you decide to flash bb52 again(for any reason) and still want to use cm7 flash cm7bb52.zip
no. if you are flashing a new rom which requires bb54 and you are on bb54 then no need to flash this zip.
Can use this patch for bb.55 ?
I finally gave in and left FreeX10 to test out CM7.
It feels pretty stable but there's some issues I sense still need tweaking and I'll post after I'm done here.
QQ; what improvements have you sensed using .54 over .52, both in general and with CM7?
Personally i don't think there are any improvements. But some people just want a higher number. In fact some of the functions in .54 are broken like auto-time settings.

Not correct.....
If you are in north america .49/.52 causes many issues, especially when it comes to dropped calls , failed text messages and slow 3g+ speeds.
On .55 the failed text issue is fixed completely, I get much better call signal and faster 3g+.

Not without the new kernel, the only way it is possible is if the bootloader gets unlocked

Your usb port, or usb cable?
You can't install the kernel needed for GB without flashtool.
So if your usb port is broken, maybe look on ebay for spare parts to fix it.
If your usb cable is broken, buy a new one.
Good luck
sorry but how do i apply this patch? i'm on BB54 with a broken usb connector
i guess this might be (all steps via xrecovery)
1.- install patch
2.- install 2.3.3 rom (any rom available)
3.- install custom kernel (zKernel might be)
is this correct?
thanks in advance
Hi
This weekend my x10 mini pro turned of by itself and when it started up again the touchscreen never worked again.
I tried factory reset, dalvik cache clear, data clear, all of it. Reinstalled my MiniCM7Pro rom. Still no luck.
PLEASE help me if you can...
Thanks
And I just tried to install another ROM, still not working
Going to try original now
edit: (check edit 2)
Ok I cant use SEUS to repair my phone back to the original, since the phone needs to be connected to PC Companion, and I need the touchscreen for that...
What now?
Does anyone have the ROM for me so that I can install using xrecovery?
edit 2:
So looks like stock 2.1 rom works (but doesnt have dual touch)
It seems that the dual touch module/driver doesnt work on my phone anymore, where can I find an alternative touch module/driver for MiniCM7Pro v21?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey, no I used a stock SE 2.1 ROM I found here on XDA.
Now the phone is working 100%
BUT... I would like to install a custom ROM again, and I found MiniCM7Pro V21 to be the best/most stable. But all of a sudden the screen doesn't respond when touching it when I'm using that ROM (Same for CM6)
I am also facing the same issue....
Haven't found a solution yet though...
I guess we are stuck with the stock rom for now
Hope so somebody would find a solution to this problem...
Try fllashing any other rom.....i also had sme issue...i flashed cyancream still it didnt work,then minicm7pro still no touch response then finally I flashed stornmix and touchscreen was back again.....

Well i decided I'm not going to settle for stock 2.1 ROM, and installed the nAa kernel.
Then reinstalled MiniCM7Pro V21 and it worked.
However wifi did not work.
Now I am running MiniCM7-2.1.9 and everything works so far.
I would still like to revert back to MiniCM7Pro, since it was my absolute favourite ROM!
Minicm7pro does not hve wifi built from sources...so wifi wont work with nAa kernel..

Is there a way for me to include it in the ROM myself?

Copying files wont solve your wifi issue..u can use zombiepanic kernel, or d4 kernel with minicm7pro....i thnk wifi works with these kernels

btw is there any alternate method to install xrecovery without flashtool (coz i want to reinstall xrecovery in my x10 may be this will work)
one more question
can we install custom roms like wolfxperia's rom & cyno roms in x10 by using flashtool??
ulbldoom was not for locked bootloaders...you got wrong version my friend
Sent from my X10S using xda premium
Yes it appears ur bootloader is locked that is for unlocked bl so wont work. U can install xrec manually but it much easier to use flashtool. Use seus or flash global generic 2.3.3 then root and install xrec
Sent from my X10 using XDA
Try This
Restore your phone via SEUS, then do a complete Root, Bootloader unlock via Flashtool,
Unlocking bootloader will help you a lot, for many custom ROM's you'll require an unlocked bootloader so do that using the flashtool aswell.
Install xRecovery via flashtool (easiest way there is), you can install it manually but it tends to be a bit of a headache !!

same issue
Ive had the same issue only a few days ago where i was afraid i nearly screwed up my phone. I kept ready the forums here tho, and came to the conclusion that
a I used an "outdated" flashtool, and
b I used the wrong kernel file before i flashed... and
c (yes this was beyond stupid) i forgot to put the zip file onto the sd card... so when i was going to flash i didnt have anything to flash.
after that my baby kept still at the SonyEriccson screen.
I got the latest flashtool, flashed the Generic 2.3.3 and restarted from scratch.
I now have the Darkedition 1.5 installed. It looks really nice, but its just not my rom, so i will keep looking for a new rom. I'd like a smooth and sleak rom. just to keep it fast and furious.
i still love my phone, even after having it for over a year... something that's never happened to me before.

Hi everyone!
I'm tired using custom roms for their instability and fc's everywhere for over a year I didnt found Rom that works perfect all the time with many apps installed so I just want to my phone work, dont want to flash new system every month again.
I was running stock with deleted apps, Set Cpu (tnx to gregbradley (edit: that was neoxx3m very good advidce, sorry my bad) and z-kernel for about 4 months and I was happy, that was one and only Rom that i've used so long. Yes it wasnt so fast but it was very stable and everything works so nice not even one fc. (kindda wierd couse ive installed z-kerner on my Unlocked BL x10 and now I can't and dont wanna to play and relock)
So i wanna repair my phone and get back to stock, root it, delete all uneeded apps and flash the most stable kernel so will it be failsafe from doom right?
And the question is will my plan work? I know that phone will not be so fast but will everything work and this is all I need or maybe someone has better idea?
Also have some questions about the newest fw for this Doom UB kernel. Where do i get this newest se fw?
Any help will be very appriciated.

Well, actually I'm using a custom rom, based on GB, because I've been having the same problem with EVERY ROM based on ICS (Stock or Custom).
I honestly don't know why does it happen, my problem is... Every time I've tried an ICS-based Rom, my WiFi disconnects itself all the time. It goes out and comes back after a few seconds every time it wants to, and it doesn't matter at all how far or near I am of my router.
I never had that problem with Gingerbread. Is it a problem with DNS, IP or something like that? Can I just use an app to fix that?

If you are using the stock kernel are you sure you flash ics kernel prior flashing the ics Rom?
If you flash ics kernel.sin using flashtool and still experience problems on WiFi then go through the updater-script of the Rom and make sure permissions are set right and this symlink is present
symlink("/data/etc/wifi/wl1271-nvs.bin","/system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin");
