[Q] Erased system data, need help. tried flashtool showing not rooted - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday I accidentally erase my phone’s system data from xrecovery after that I can see only initial SE logo. I tried with flashtool and 2.1 firmware but seeing same screen. From flashtool it shows “not rooted” but after couple of other message messages it shows connected as flashmode. Any help appreciated.
From forum and flashtool documents it mentioned to select wipe user data, but when I select ftf file from flashtool wipe section doesn’t have any select check box.
my phone is Xperia X10. had android 2.1 service provider at&t.

Just download x10's stock firmware & install it using flashtools app.(read guides first)
You soft bricked your phone by formatting system (recovery is removed because it's installed in system partition)

He is on stock kernel so recovery is wiped too.

Thank you so much for your help, advice and guidance. With 2.3.3 rom it worked even though at flash tool it showed not rooted. One difference I have seen one difference between 2.1 generic rom which I gave in my previous post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1749426) and gamingwiz's given 2.3.3, the difference was 2.3.3 had cache wipe option.

That won't work. You have to change to the new baseband before you use CM9. Upgrade to 2.3.3 first, then flash the rom

Since I believe the rest of the posts are a bit too much for the beginner, I hope this post breaks it down. I'm bad at using the forum editing tools , so forgive me for bad editing.
First, your phone is old baseband. Old baseband means that the software used to access the sim card and make calls is old. It does not mean that they are no good ROMs for it. One of the most stable and up to date rom I found was OMGB (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376344). But the bad news is that you cannot try any of the nightlies of CM9 or the deliciousness of ICS (Ice Cream Sandwhich).
This can be overcome by installing new baseband, which involves installing a new stock rom of Gingerbread. It is not as simple as flashing a zip so the easiest of the guides I found is this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301489). I personally recommend you upgrade to new baseband and let me know if you don't understand the process.
Here are some good ROMs for O1 is found.
AOKP (4.4) (New Baseband) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613712)
Mik_OS Rom (2.3.7) (Old Baseband) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354)
SlimGen v1.6.0 (2.3.7) (Old/New Baseband) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1463495)
These are some of the few of the many great ones. I currently upgraded to new baseband and am rocking AOKP and so far, I'm speechless by the CM9 awesomeness. I hope I helped. Please click the thank you button if I helped.

Is it something wrong with my phone? Everytime I have tried to updated it, there is always an error. Its like my phone is connected, but not properly connected. I have tried to update it with lg's software on 4 different computers.
And when I choose mass-storage. I still dont find my device under "My computer". But when I plug it in to the computer, it gives the normal sound. And all the drivers are installed correctly

SOS: Help a Noob stuck at Samsung screen upon attempt to root

Hello,
Could you pls help a noob with a rooting problem? I attempted to root my ICS AT&T Galaxy Note i-717 using Odin3 v 1.85 and a pda.tar file. Prior to that, I had checked and confirmed the USB drivers are installed (I have Kies software installed on the PC. However, folliwing the succesful flash of pda.tar I got the phone stuck at the Samsung screen. I could still get to the download screen. However, the phone would not go pass that screen. Can you pls tell me what I did wrong/guide me w simple steps on how to fix the phone and finish the root? I have the read many different root treads but I find them confusing. Treads are ponting at different files to be frashed/installed on the phone. Thanks very much.
This happens from time to time...don't worry.
Reboot phone in download mode, connect phone, reflash kernel.
A few things: use stock samsung cable. Use back of computer usb port. Reboot computer before you try again. Re download the kernel to be sure your file is not corrupted. Make sure phone battery is more than 80%.

Stuck at Samsung
I have the same issue tho have tried troubleshooting and could really use some extra help.
Updated to ATT stock ICS update a few months ago. Everything workin fine.
Wanted to root it so I could back everything up not to lose anything when moving to JB.
Rooted by flashing Da_G's pda.tar, reboot, and then flashed 2.3.3.0 TWRP
Noticed it was stuck at Samsung.
Here's where I'm kickin myself because I should have backed it up before all this, but I waited because I figured root doesn't wipe data!
Entered TWRP, backed up.
Now what I've tried to fix it... and failed
1. Reflashed pda.tar about 5 times
2. Found a stock pda "pda-odin-att-stock.tar", flashed (fixed) but it's stock setup and contacts and other google services don't work, lost homescreen icon placement and all other settings.
3. TWRP: Restore all = stuck at Samsung again
4. Repeat 2 and Restore only System
5. Repeat 2 and Restore only Data
6. Repeat 2 and flash pda.tar = boots, but same thing with it all stock, so I restore and it's stuck again.
It's my wife's phone and she has contacts that aren't saved in Google, to-do lists saved in app data files, and to be honest, she said everything better be exactly the same after updating (which I promised it would be since the plan was to root, backup, update, and restore), so I'm kinda trying to save my hide. PLEASE HELP me save my ass ha!
Other things to note: I just rooted a new phone about 30mins prior with the exact same root and TWRP files and it went very smooth, no issues.
Using a Samsung original cable on a laptop. Phone Battery was ~30% when I did all the steps, but since then read that battery should be higher so swapped out to fully charged battery and retried the steps.
Using the root kernel you did, basically flashed a Gingerbread kernel over an ICS rom. (Doesn't work)
Your best bet at this point, is too flash a rooted ICS build from bigfau ...(located in the super thread stock section)
Just flash using TWRP ....BUT !!!
make sure you wipe the dalvik cache, system cache, and system before flashing the rooted ICS build.
Once the rom is flashed, you will be stock and rooted.
Regarding data you have lost with no backup....start begging forgiveness now ....it's gone ....g

Wouldn't I be able to just flash an ICS Kernel to undo the GB kernel and set things straight? Or is the whole thing ruined already?
I have the data/app and data/data files. If all's really lost, I'll just put JB on it. If I copy the data/app and data/data files onto the new image will all the apps with their settings/data be restored at least?
Yes, flash the correct kernel.
I think what happened to me is the OS got deleted cuz once I flashed a rom I was good to go!

[Q] XPERIA P update 6.2.A.0.400 problem

Hi all,
I've had this problem for a while now, but I've been ignoring it, untill now.
Everytime I try to download this JB update (6.2.A.0.400), everything goes smooth. But as soon as I try to install it, my phone shuts down and tries to install it. some sort of gift box pops up for a second and it boots again. Followed by the message that the update could not be installed.
I've searched google for a solution, but could not find one, so now I'm asking you.
TIA

Flashtool drivers work for me on windows 7, I think,, can't be sure because I have PC Companion installed and I had problems with them at the begging and tried many different solution and can't remember which of them fixed the problem.
Back then when I connected the device, flashmode I think, while looking at device manager, a device cam up with yellow icon then disapeared after a secong or two.

Right click the driver in device manager and select properties, you will see the diver version, if you click details you can see versions of each of the 3 files of the driver.
Do you have latest PC Ccmpanion installed? Maybe this can fix the issue or might even download 6.2.A.1.100.

I've just downloaded the latest version. And it can indeed give me the versions you suggested. But lately I've been wanting to just root my phone and put CM on it.

I think it's the version I have.
To root the phone I don't think you need flash moed, just fastboot and usb debbugung, but you will need it if you want to reflash or upgrade the firmware.
Sorry I just looked and you do need flash mode, I remembered it was just the kernel but it's an ftf.

Wrong information in the 'About phone' panel

This is my first post, so I apologize if I am in the wrong section, but I really need help.
After running diferent custom roms on my KIW-L21, I saw the official MM update on the forum, so I restored my TWRP backup of B140 and tried updating but with no luck, so I tried restoring stock B130. Because the force update wouldn't work I flashed the files manually using adb and fastboot and succeded. The problem is that now, when I go to the 'about phone' panel all the informations except for the version number are wrong :
model is unknown
CPU shows quad core 1,2 GHz
RAM 1,0 GB
Memory 4,0 GB
Resolution 540 x 960
Android version 4.3.
Has anyone encountered anything like this?
Once again, I am very sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, but I could really use some help.

Will try, but after the extraction wich files should I flash?
On a post I saw it said that I should flash only cust, system, recovery and boot.
Is it necesary to flash all the files from the update?

I managed to flash a stock rom using gopinaidu77's [RoM][StOcK][Kiw-L22/L21]B140.Debloated, because it is the only one I found that is stock but .zip file.
The only question now, if you can help me with an answer, is what could go wrong if in the 'about phone' panel model number is MSM8916 for arm64 and the file version is kiw-l24c567b140.
I mean, taking to consideration that my phone is KIW-L21 and the original file version it was originally for KIW-L24.
Anyway I really apreciate the help.

I am sorry guys,it didn't work.
Tried everything but it seems that the only rom working is the one I mentiones above.
Thank you very much,both of You,though,but for now I guess I'll stock to this one.
The only question now remains how will the fact that it show 'KIW-L24' will afect future updates ?

Yes I did, the only problem is that it will not boot. It gets stuck at the first honor logo.
It only booted when I tried the first solution but in that case again it was showing 'unknown device' '1 gb of ram' etc.

what didn't work ? if you can't follow simple steps how do you expect to fix the phone ?
Did you download and flash the customromtemplate-5x-plk21-b130-r3.zip from paulobrien ? if you did your phone would not still say L24 it would be L21
The phone boots very slow wait at least 10 - 15 min before you give up on it

I read the description of the rom and saw that it boots slow and left it 35 minute by the watch before giving up. That was the only thing that it didn't work,the fact that it didn't boot.

This happened to me also. I flashed SuperSU on my GR5 and it went on bootloop. So I searched for TWRP Backup but I flashed KIW the first time, so I searched again and found the file. After boot, my about phone is displaying the wrong info. And also the pc detects it as MSM8916 for arm64 with only 2GB space. Please help

[Tutorial] Make any Gear S rootable

Hello everyone. This is my first tutorial with Gear S so I hope it will help someone.
First of all
I am not responsible for any damage done to you device​I saw in this Tutorial thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s/development/definitive-guide-to-rooting-gear-s-t2973455, that some people have unsupported firmware versions and they can't root they'r device. It is not true. You can root your device, if you will follow this simple guide.
What do you need:
1) Gear S
2) Charging cradle with USB cable
3) PC running Windows (because windows is only OS I know XD)
4) Odin 3.09: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4xXHWEm81OleU0wckt0S2pjSU0
5) supported firmware downloaded from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-R750/ (it is just on you which one do you pick, but it must be supported in the root thread)
6) Drivers: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4xXHWEm81OlT1ZBeXdHYXZqQTA
If you have everything downloaded you can proceed to the tutorial it self​Step by step firmware changing guide:
1) Unzip downloaded software and install drivers
- you should end with one .MD5 file and one .dll file (I am not sure, if the .dll is needed)
2) Open Odin 3.09

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Here you have to Tick AP, click on AP and select your .MD5 file
-you should start to see something like this (wait until it says leave CS..)
- you can continue if you see this
3)Untick Auto reboot
4) Enable USB-Debugging on Gear S
- Settings -> Gear Info -> USB Debugging
5) Put your gear S into download mode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qwcf79m9ycw
- credits go to cipherswitch
6) Connect your gear S to PC
- you should see this
7) Click start and wait till it is done
- when it is done you will see this
8)Wait till Gear S reboot
- Now just look at the firmware page and there should be new software version
If you have an error
-repeat everything but with different firmware version
P.S.: Sorry if you can't see pictures, so if you have problem just look into attachment they are listed here

I downloaded the exact same one from sammobile then I flashed the AOA7 root file from the root thread and it works fine. The software version will still be AOA7 but I think the baseband will be APC1 but mine is working flawlessly. Also you could still flash stock AOA7 first then root but theres no need as I've tested it.

because my gear was from KTC carrier, so i am afriad to tried other room to lock sim.? if u know how i can root that, plz help me.
as long as i know, changing stock rom does not affect carrier, but if u are scared, dont try it (i would try it for sure), because u can go totally back by flashing your stock rom.

Sorry, sounds right...can't remember the steps off hand.
Inside the .tar is an image file, might need to be unpacked, sorry just don't remember the steps.
Just follow the guide and use this file.
Best of luck.

I'll rack my brain to try to remember....but from what i do remember it wasn't like root for a phone.....no su app (tizen os) ...just able to execute admin commands via adb.
If you were to load android os well then su will probably be available.
I'll look back through my files, looking for any guides when i get a chance.
