After a few years I want to give my old X10 a new life.
I can't login because I don't know the pattern, the e-mailaddress isn't working and the secret question is wrong also.
I tried to get in the recovery menu, but can't get in to it.
I tried PC Companion to restore it, but get the message 'Can't download software. Check your internet connection' (roughly translated).
How can I completely reset the device?
I think there is a custom rom on it, but I don't know which one.

Hello,
I did something very stupid: I installed JIT enabler at my X10i running on rooted 2.3 Gingerbread and now my phone does not boot past the white "Sony Ericsson" logo.
If this is somehow helpful, I have XRecovery installed and I'm able to boot it. However, I haven't created a backup.
Please, help me as fast as possible, because I'm a bit desparate.
Thanks, in advance!
You mustn't use JIT on Android higher than 2.1 -
1. Cause it will make something like you have right now.
2. Android 2.3 has it in standard, so no need to use it pal .
To fix this, just flash some official ROM via FlashTool, or use PcCompanion.
Cheers mate.

Just do the same as I did (PC Companion → Repair)! I think that it doesn't wipe your data (or at least not those at the SD card).
I have x10 mini.....
bootloader unlocked
flashed [KERNEL] nAa-ICS-02
I can flash any kernel.....then I can flash any rom....(Cm9 I want ))
but rom never boot never started.....when I open the phone appeas the logo of kernel and then restart the phone...and I can't remove baterry..
wipe all data, cache, dalvik-cache .....I did it all the times
Also stock kernel with 2.1 original min x10's android don't run...the same problem...Appears logo of sony ericsson and restart...Someone here said that may be in a different baseband...The phone I bought from Vodafone store.....
Seus can't recognise my phone so I can't do a repair...What can I do?
How does SEUS nog recognise your phone? Can't it recognise your model or does it say no updates?

Leave your phone unplugged from the computer when you ask SEUS to search for an update. Since it won't recognise the phone it won't find any updates and assume your phone it broken, so it will give you a repair link.
Click on it, and follow the steps.

This is stock firmware for the E10i for flashtool, move it to the firmwares folder and flash it like you would flash a kernel.
It's 2.1.1.A.0.6, baseband *4015, with a loader.sin for unlocked bootloader.
Let me know if your phone works after flashing this.

Don't know, I think you did something wrong somewhere, but glad it helped.
On the ICS kernel, only flash ICS-roms that state they need that kernel.
If you want Gingerbread, flash the nAa-GB kernel.

yes it is off . but now the boot loader is locked and it is on custom kernel (naa-14), that is why i cant flash stock kernel and without stock kernel seus or pc companion wont work. i have tried flashing stock kernel , flash tool even detects the phone but the kernel cant be flashed.

So, here is the .84 firmware with -86 baseband for the GSM Xperia Play.
From what I see, there are a few firmware changes since .79 firmware and a baseband update. Also, some applications like the Browser and the Phonebook seem to have some changes.
Download: R800i_4.0.2.A.0.84_Vodafone_DE_(1247-8566).ftf
How to Root:
1 - Download All 3 files from this Repository: .84 Firmware Rook Kit
2 - Flash R800i_.79_Kernel.ftf using Flashtools
3 - Root Phone using Eroot1.3.5.exe Tool
4 - Flash R800i_.84_Kernel.ftf using Flashtools
4 - Enjoy your .84 Rooted Firmware!
Thank you all!
Nice Man... Thanks
Sent from my R800a using XDA Free mobile app

I am sorry to ask, but how do I install this? I am a novice. the last update I booted in recovery and installed the zip. this is a ftf file and don't know how to install.

I could not root my 800at phone with this firmware. I am on a locked bootloader/stock kernel. ive used 2 programs to root.
try to flash .79 kernel, then root, then flash .84 kernel again, it might work.

Hi everybody,
today I'm going to teach you how to root Xperia E4g on newest firmware._________________________________________________
PROOF : http://postimg.org/image/mvua3tyyx/
0. Video tutorial (if you prefer it over textual)
1. Firmware DowngradeCheck your firmware version, if it is 25.0.A.2.14 you are going to have to downgrade it to x.x.x.1.28.
You are going to download Flashtool and download 1.28 firmware using XperiFirm that is build-in into flashtool and then you are going to flash it. If you need help here is Youtube Video :
2. Rooting
You are going to use iRoot to root your firmware. Do not update your firmware until I say to!
Link to iRoot : http://irootdownload.com/ ->download PC Version
3. Getting rid of Kinguser/Kingroot
Now go to Play Store and download app called Super-SuMe. Follow the instructions the app says and update SuperSu binaries if needed.
Reboot after that. Or since of August 2015 the app is paid and you can follow this video :
4. Preparing for software update
Now go to SuperSu->Settings and untick "Enable Superuser"
5. Update
Now is the time to update. Go to Sony Update Center app and download the update and wait for it to install.
There will be 2 available updates. When first is done dont enable Superuser, just install the second one and after that is done go to step 6
6. Getting root after update.
Once it is done, open SuperSu->Settings and tick Enable Superuser and reboot.
There you go. That's it.
Video on the way

But after i have choose normal mode tu update (i have no custom recovery) it fails.

I had this exact same issue when rooting my wife's E3, yet the binaries updated fine on my E3! I never did manage to resolve the problem despite trying an array of suggestions courtesy of Google! Sorry I'm not really much help...!
I swapped my E3 for the E4g recently after it developed a microphone fault, and was about to try the OP's method to root it when I saw your post. I think I'll hang on a little while though to see how things go for you....
Have others had success with this method?

My SuperSu never asked for Binary update
But the binary update itself should have worked.
I think you could do a complete video guide with downgrading firmware and all the stuff... Because as I see from posts some people have problem with binary update. Also it would be a great guide to new comers. Thanks!
P.S. "Super-Sume" is only paid app now but the price is really ridiculously low. :>
I tried downgrading but it just keeps giving me the error "Processing of loader.sin finished with errors", please help!

Try checking wipe data and cache while choosing the firmware or try other firmware.
