Here we go guys,

1. Download the Gingerbread zip here: X10i_Official_GB_Rooted_006.zip
2. Put it on your SD Card, boot into recovery, and flash it.
4. DO NOT REBOOT FROM RECOVERY, pull your battery out
5. Fire up FlashTool and flash this: X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_Baseband and Kernel Update.ftf
6. Turn your rooted, zipaligned, and busyboxed Gingerbread X10 on.

NOTICE: I've only done very preliminary testing on this, and don't know what bugs you'll run into, but I can say that the permissions are all set (manually AND by script at install-time) and it's much smoother than the original release.

Have fun

My phone is so bricked,it just sits on the sony ericsson logo.
Fashtool wont recogniseit,neither will sony companion, etc etc.
I've tried them all.

Please help, or if its beyond repair,let me know and I'll throw it away.

Feralabs rom is maybe to blame, his links and instructions are often not written clearly or out of date.

Why are you blaming Fera? before you installed any custom rom the developers gives a warning that before flashing rom you do it at your own risk. Or if its not clearly written you should ask someone or go to discussion thread. Don't blame anyone especially the developers who are doing their best to keep our device alive.

1. He shouldn't give conflicting information,
2. or links to softwares that dont support my device (SEUS)
3. or if he DEMANDS that no-one mirror his links, he should at least keep them alive. I even donated $1 just to send him a message, it's the only way to contact him.. no reply as yet.
4. I coudnt post a question in the rom thread as I was a noob and this place has utterly ridiculous security measures.

5. I heard it was practically impossible to brick this phone... so what did I have to loose?

I hope now you understand why im dissapointed.
As I say, if anyone can help get my phone at least back to normal, I'll pay them

thats really easy..and after repairing ur device back to normal, download flashtool 0.9.11.0 nd u can make it root nd unlock the bootloader nd then only try installing custom kernel nd roms nd even use fera roms.. nd please dont blame him.. if u look at his works its beyond imagination of wat he is doin.. he is crazy working with kernels nd roms nd thats y many of us still using this device.. otherwise v shud hav used this to throw at stray dogs!

I've tried pc companion,plus about 5 others softwares, none work.
I can't access the device anyway as it sys I need to mount usb storage, and I cant use the phone.
Even the 'forced' repair methods dont work,and actually even crash my computer now.

I tried to download drivers and got a load of .dll files.
I can't work with them, it's far to complicated.

How do I replace my possibly corrupt drivers with fresh ones?

thanks

xp somtimes a big headache.. u shud hav used vista wich more useful in detecting drivers by itself.. XP needs all sort of manual installation nd v hav to do everything manual nd there is high chance of corruption nd xp wont tel us if its corrupted or not.. but vista says it all.. iam using vista for all works on my x10.. i hav 3 OS in my system.. XP, Vista nd Win8!!

i tink in ur xp drivers may b all in a confusion lik u said, thats y said u try in ur frnd's computer wich is running vista or 7.

reinstall pc companion or update service nd in device manager right click those sony drivers nd if u see any unknown drivers nd click update driver nd point to d x10 usb drivers folder wich contain those dll drivers.

if all fails, then only option is sony service centre!!

Also can you tell me exactly where to look for the drivers?
I was in device manager and usb section
Maybe its incorrect.

Only one of the 'drivers' (if thats what they are) arenamed. And its for my huawei device.
The rest are not even named.
I googled how to find drivers in device manager,but maybe im still in the wrong place.

I probably sound lazy.

To prove I'm not, I found a windows 7 and am installing it on my net book. just to see if it helps.
I'm not completely lazy, i just need clear and reliable instruction.

I'm pleased to say my windows 7 installation did the trick.
I ran repair mode in sony pc companion.
Thanks for your suggestion, very helpful.

Now i'm having problem rooting on flashtool.
it gets stuck on 'Running installftkit as root thru sysrun'

    x10gbrooted-1.png
    x10gbrooted-2.png
    x10gbrooted-3.png



    [ Requirements ]

    1. any working ROM with recovery
      [best situation is to flash stock 2.1 se rom root it and install recovery using latest flashtool]
    2. flashtool
    3. FTF bundle posted below
    4. Recovery image posted below


    [ Features ]

    1. Stock SE 2.3.3 ROM
    2. prerooted (superuser files pre-installed, busybox pre-installed)
    3. xRecovery-0.3 (GBready) recovery (all known issues related to recovery are fixed in this version)


    [ Important Links Before u Begin ]

    1. Flashtool
    2. [FLASHTOOL GUIDE] HOW TO for n00bies


    [ How To ]

    *FOLLOW THE STEPS PRECISELY ELSE U WILL GET STUCK*

    1. download the ftf bundle & compressed recovery image from linnks below
    2. extract the contents of the recovery image to a folder on desktop
    3. u will get a folder with 4 files as shown below:
      folderconents2.jpg
    4. connect device to PC and mount sdcard
    5. copy that extrated folder to /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/
    6. so final path to folder & files should look like:
      • /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_fixed_rec/cache.img
      • /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_fixed_rec/data.img

      • /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_fixed_rec/system.img
    7. once copying is finished unmount sdcard and disconnect cable
    8. reboot into recovery and restore this backup
    9. AFTER RESTORE IS DONE DO NOT REBOOT
    10. directly remove battery and wait for few minutes (since we dont have power off in recovery this is crude way to do it)
    11. now start flashtool and connect X10 in flash mode and flash the ftf bundle provided below
    12. after flashing is complete just restart device and enjoy prerooted X10 SE 2.3.3 GB!!!

    FT/xRec Flashable GB Update

    Here we go guys,

    1. Download the Gingerbread zip here: X10i_Official_GB_Rooted_006.zip
    2. Put it on your SD Card, boot into recovery, and flash it.
    4. DO NOT REBOOT FROM RECOVERY, pull your battery out
    5. Fire up FlashTool and flash this: X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_Baseband and Kernel Update.ftf
    6. Turn your rooted, zipaligned, and busyboxed Gingerbread X10 on.

    NOTICE: I've only done very preliminary testing on this, and don't know what bugs you'll run into, but I can say that the permissions are all set (manually AND by script at install-time) and it's much smoother than the original release.

    Have fun
