Ok so as they say "safety first"
Let me give you your CRASH HELMET

It is said that x10 is UNBRICKABLE, though that is true but not hard and fast rule. Jerpelea and Doomlord have bricked x10 devices before and it's not all that impossible. Still, if you keep care of following things, you'll never brick your phone

1. NEVER DISCONNECT USB CABLE while flashing/bootloader unlocking/pccompanion upgrade is going on
2. Be extremely careful while using the_laser or 9Lukas5's unlock procedure. It changes device partition and mapper modules so they are delicate ares and can brick your device if procedure is not followed

3. DO NOT PANIC, THINGS CAN BE SET RIGHT. BE CALM, BE PATIENT, ASK FOR HELP AT XDA

================================================== ================================================== ===================

Ok so, there can be bad flashes or whatever..... what to do if device does not boot up??

1. If the problem is about RED flashing led, then just plug your phone into a charger and wait over night it's a low charge problem. Once charged, all will be ok

2. If you face boot loop and you just do not know what to do (i.e. you cannot go to recovery too) then do this
a.) either download PC companion and update/upgrade your phone
OR
b.) download latest flashtool and flash a 2.1 for 2.3.3 firmware (that you get in .ftf format) that will set you on track

ok so to tell a few things first....

please do not pm me.regarding this.
ask any questions here.
i or any other member would definitely help

and dont get impatient.... I'm busy...so it'll take time to complete the guide

Alright pretty dumb question feel free to shoot me. If I take an system ui apk and framework apk from say arc and just change it with my existing system ui n framework will I be getting the same theme of Sony arc.

maybe yes with systemui
DEFINITELY NOT with framework.

the framework res is not just the ui.
it defined the whole Android system...
it just cannot be ported like that....lol



@everyone
i won't shoot if you ask dumb questions.

you can ask dumb questions if you wish to.

that's the way we learn

Really happy to see someone doing this, thanks CS, may I suggest adding dooms guide to create update/amend scripts? I am sure you'll get to it! Best if luck with your exams too. :)
