Hey, I have a problem. Now my phone do not want to charge, every time I am trying to charge it, the only thing that happens - led is blinking with red color every 3-5 seconds. Nothing else. The battery is OK, it is tested.
Same than I connect it with PC.

So I can not connect phone in the flash mode, because it does not led with GREEN but only with RED

Any ideas how to save my X10i?

[Q] How to..?

l32007 said:
If you are on an X10a Please use -> [File]

If you are on an x10i use -> [File]

The FTF files are inside the RAR's :)

How do you use those files?:confused:

Actually I'm new into this, but, the FTF files I've seen are the ones you use with Flashtool, as a single FTF file. Instead, this one has many SIN files.

I've made my X10i non-functional by installing 1.6 while on 2.1, please help me with this.

Thanks :D

I've had a useless x10 for a few months now, and was hoping I could get it working with the new flashtool. After running it and connecting the phone, it's giving me the error:

12/000/2011 22:00:44 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
12/000/2011 22:00:44 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
12/000/2011 22:00:44 - INFO - Then go to application settings
12/000/2011 22:00:44 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging

The problem I'm having is, I haven't been able to get my x10 to turn on. Is there a way to flash without having debugging enabled?

what if you cant boot to flash mode! Need help ASAP I cant get xRecovery to boot, or flash mode. I can't boot into the installed ROM for more than 10 seconds or so before it reboots again.

Hi,

I got a problem, i did everything in this tutorial and i have recovered my x10a with the 2.1.A.435 firmware (i had the 2.0.A.504) and all went smoothly until i noticed that my x10a has no signal, no wifi and when i try to turn on the wifi i only get a reboot, the same when i search for networks in settings-wireless-access points names...

i cant connect to wifi nor radio from my provider, and when i go to restore factory settings keeps telling me "insert SIMCard and reboot"
i've tried to do it with the sdcard inserted and without it but no luck...

there is a way to repair this or do i have to return to my native firmware???

here are my phone specifications and modds

Stock
X10a Telcel Branded
Android 2.1 2.0.A.504

Flashing
X10a Generic
Android 2.1 2.1.A.435

Any help would be apreciated...

Thanks in advance, and keep helping the noobies like me who do not undesrstand very well the android os.

As most of you are having the same issues, I might have a solution..(cuz i had the same as you..)

[The ERROR is because the phone goes out of flashmode if there is no input within a few seconds].. so wait wait wait till flashtool really asks for your phone..

1. download and install the latest flashtool
2. download latest stock firmware
3. place the latest firmware in the firmware folder of flashtool
4. open flashtool
5. press flash
6. select the firmware
7. press 'ok'
8. wait till its done preparing files and bla bla. untill a popup asks you to connect your phone in flashmode
9. remove the battery from your phone for 5 seconds (10 to be safe?)
10. hold the back button, and plugin the usb cable
11. flashtool will now start flashing without an interuption

xx

ps: screw seus, love flashtool

    So, you've broken a rom and xRecovery wont start? Given up... dont!

    I suppose it has pretty much every other use case.

    Without futherado heres the guide:

    All you need to do is in 7 easy steps.

    What you Need:
    Flashtool 0.2.5

    A Stock Rom FTF file (for now)

    If you are not sure download the GENERIC version for your device.

    1: Unzip Flashtool to your desktop

    2: Place ftf rom file in %desktop%/FlashTool/firmwares

    3: Run FlashTool.exe, Click the Flash button and select the Firmware you downloaded.

    Helpful Hint said:
    Be Sure that your phone is off before connecting in flashmode, or it wont turn green. :D
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    4: When Prompted to connect your phone in flashmode. Hold the back button, and plug your phone in to the computer to connect in FlashMode. The LED will go green, if it doesn't, turn your phone off again and try again! or come here for help.

    5: Press OK

    If you receve an error, please open the 'drivers' folder (%desktop%/flashtool/drivers/) and run the exe file. to install the flash driver, once installed. try step 3-5 again!
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    6: Wait 15 minutes. Make yourself a coffee or beer :D

    7: Now your phone should be stock. You should be crying and happy at the same time. ;)

    BONUS STEP: for easy root, turn on phone and open flash tool (connect phone.) and press ROOT (make sure you have USB Debugging enabled)


    If this helps you, comment confirm and thanks :)

    Flashtool allows you to root easily on latest firmware.

    SEUS won't work if you rooted your x10. SEUS tells you that there isnt any firmware for your phone. So this way if you rooted and used a custom rom you will get it to work again.
