SE Xperia X10a help - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I recently purchased the white SE Xperia X10a at an AT&T store. I've been looking everywhere on the internet on how to install 2.1 and SWYPE. I have installed SEUS and Pc Companion for upgrading to 2.1. It still says that my phone is up to date (its running 1.6). I've tried uninstalling SUES and PC Companion and re-installing it. Still didn't work. I want to at least get SWYPE. My phone doesn't have an option to "allow unknown sources" because it's locked down. I've tried the Sideload Wonder Machine and it won't recognize my phone even though I have drivers installed. Help please! I've tried everything!

have you found help?? I'm in the same boat man!! About to return!

i dont think it can be updated that yet at&t hasnt released it.
u have to de brand or load a custom rom of 2.1
as far as sideload wm i got it to work after playing with it for a while
i dont remember what i did as im pretty good at trying every possible option until something works. and once again i did that haha
two things i know i did for sure.
get the beta version of SWM place it in the root of your computer drive.
try every way to install drivers.
one way i found before was by downloading something for android from pdanet
and make sure you have installed android sdk
reboot computer.
hopefully you can play around with those options till it works

Install android sdk and make sure it works. Find jerpeleas flash tool and pick a shipped global rom. Flash, root, install swype. Ill post links here after class.

Official Adobe Flash Player 10.1_10.1.72.7 for FroYo inside

Thanks to GAda for the link.
It is the official flash player for froyo 2.2 available from the market (although the market doesn't let us download it, I persume it was downloaded on a phone running 2.2 that the market did like).
Works a treat on JP2 (tap and hold to enable full screen flash) much better than the ported flash player that was posted some weeks ago

quick question, can you go on this site

If you can, I may flash JP2 just for this reason ( I flashed JM2 yesterday )

I tried it on jp3 but the downloaded file has a .txt extension. It tries to open with html reader lol. How do you change a file extension in android?
Ok... Update. I changed the file extension to apk with astro file manager then installed with android ( not astro). Google is my friend lol

There is no 'stock' Froyo for the Galaxy S, so which rom are you running out of the leaked Froyo ones (JP1, 2 or 3)?

-i have jp3 instaled today and i can't install some games like raging thunder 2 and when i try to open the game like assasin creed,asphalt5 say the need sd card with a least 0mb ,on 2.1 i don't have any problem...
-ps this flsh is awesome like on my pc:live tv,video etc cooooolll,die iPhone(i have 2 years).
Are the JP1/2/3 roms actually stable? I'm not sure whether to flash it or not. Can anyone outline any of the issues with it!
My xp
I have used the JP3 since it came out, and it is mostly stable for me. Wifi and HDSPA/GPRS works fine, Internet application crashes sometimes, usually on first start, then it works fine. Contacts application works, but sometimes the letters on the right to make you quickstep to a certain letter disappears. If you navigate in and out a few times, they usually come back though.
Other than that, it feels pretty snappy.
I cannot get flash player to work unfortunately, but it seems that a lot of people without root have that problem, can anyone actually confirm that?
/J
-the adobe flash player work perfect on my fp3 without root ,but i change the room and now i have jm2 because the 2.2 froyo have lag,bugs,etc
Is there anything you need to enable to make flash work, because it does not work for me. I have tried several apks, playerversion.com says I have 10,1,72,7 installed though, but no flash content seem to work.

only instal flash with appsinstaller and reboot ,in browser option dezactivate mobile view and thats it.
so you cant use this with the stock rom?

I might have become blind, but I cannot find that option anywhere.
Are you supposed to find that in Settings in the browser?

galaxy ace work???
I was wondering who the hell bumped this thread.
Just give it a try. Won't hurt. You can always uninstall it later on.
I spent five minutes literally trying to figure out what was so special about a flash player leak that came from Froyo 2.2, before I noticed the date on the first post!
Seriously, why bump this???

[q] rom manager won't install on phone, any hellpppp please!!1

I did the super one click root on my cliq xt last night. Everything is working fine there, but now I can't get ROM Manager to install it will download but not install, and good luck gettin that Koush guy to answer anything. Is there another way to flash a new ROM to my Cliq XT. Any help would be so much appreciated..
Thank you,

install droidx bootstrapper first then rom manager, that should work
where do I find that at, is it on android market???
yeah that didn't work, same result as trying to install ROM Manager, it will download the app but won't install it. Is there any settings I should have set differently.
if the bootstrapper is on the phone it should be installed.Visit koushs website and it has instructions on what to do.I did that and everything worked but i am on droidx (search for koush dutta and it has lots of info
first link you see is it koushikdutta my brain hurts... search you tube also... good info and walkthroughs there
yeah but I can not get either of them to actually install on the phone, they will download but not install. I did some looking on google android FAQ and someone on there said there is a problem with android market not sending the 1.5 version of the app and google is trying to fix. Is there another way to get the new ROM on my phone without using ROM Manager..... THanks again for any help you can give....
z4root
Hey sorry I have been outta town... you might try to root your phone with z4root then try it all again...I used z4 and redid it all and it works on droidx... maybe try that

Found something that roots almost every android phone.

Awhile ago I went on the hunt to find software that would root my lg-l45c, weeks later I've found something that should root the majority of phones even Gingerbread 2.3.4! It's called unlock root. You can download it to your PC here: http://www.unlockroot.com/ after it's downloaded onyour PC you have to connect your phone to you PC with USB with USB debugging enabled. After you do that you launch the unlock root and press root. While it goes through the rooting process you maybe ask if you'd like to install driver, if it asks you this, you have to install your drivers. You install your drivers like this: Goto your phone's manufacturer website then goto the the part of the website that has the drivers, it should be somewhere in the support section. After your drivers are installer you may attempt to root your phone again using unlock root, after a few minutes pass it will be done and ask you if you'd like to reboot your phone now? Click yes. After the reboot your phone will be rooted atlast!
Solution to low space.
I'd also like to add that link2sd is great when you are rooted because you can move apps to SD that you couldn't b4 it saves a lot of space.

[Q] Is it possible to install Wunderlist on WFS? [SOLVED]

Hi,
I have been reasonably happy with my Wildfire S, even though it was a little slow and clunky. I thought about rooting it, but never got around to doing it until yesterday. The reason for that is that Wunderlist, the only app I actually use has been updated and now supposedly needs Android 4.0+
That's not a big deal right? Just unlock, root and then flash a CyanogenMod based on an Android version that's high enough. To be honest it wasn's as easy as I imagined and it took me the whole day yesterday to read everything, select a ROM and manage to flash it correctly. The only problem: Wunderlist still doesn't run on it!
I have tried a couple of CM 10.1 versions, with various GAPPs builds, but Google Play still tells that it is not supported by my device. I have also downloaded and installed the apk from the Wunderlist website, but the app doesn't start :crying:
Can anybody help me? What is the problem here? Will an different ROM work? Is it impossible to install Wunderlist on WFS?
I have tried A LOT of To-Do Lists and I'm not willing to switch to anything else. If I can't get my Wunderlist on WFS, I think I'll a new phone.
PS: Sorry for the lack of links, but I can't post external links as a newbie
EDIT: So, I managed to install a CM11 ROM, using a more recent version of the ClockWorkMod recovery. CM11 is based on Android 4.4.4, which did the trick. I couldn't access Wunderlist via the Play Store though, but I could isntall it via the apk. My phone is a little slower than I'd like, but at least I have my Wunderlist

[Q] Flashtool with Windows 8.1

Trying to use Flashtool to downgrade to KK so I can root and flash LP, but Flashtool gets stuck as soon as I try to run it. It come up with errors about not finding a proxy for Firefox or IE or Java. I'm currently using Chrome, but I downloaded and installed Java and even opened up IE in a new window. I have installed drivers after disabling the signature check, but still have the same problem.
So what am I doing wrong?

The unofficial flashtool by Bin4ry, as I'm trying to avoid unlocking my bootloader. I have used it before on my old computer (Windows 7), but can't seem to get it to work on this one (Windows 8.1).

I'm on win 8.1 and I originally used Androxyde Flashtool from here which works fine with 8.1.... everything you need to downgrade and upgrade.... and even unlock B/L.... or not !!
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
That's what I have. I put the firmware in the folder specified, but keep getting stopped right here.
The only way to get rid of it is to kill it with the task manager. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. I haven't had this computer very long, so Win 8.1 is still new to me.

Hmmm.... that's the very same Flashtool I have.... so we know it CAN work on 8.1.... time for the obvious first... uninstall completely and re-install paying careful attention to where you direct the installation to go and ensuring you get the 64 bit (assuming yr on 64 bit win 8.1) ... then once installed don't open until you re-boot and so you'll need to open from wherever you installed a shortcut.... internet connected to sync from github

No luck so far. Uninstalled, re-downloaded, reinstalled (even the drivers). I even found a detailed video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld4wz06bLpg
As far as I can tell, I'm following everything to a "T". PC Companion works just fine. Probably just overlooking something very simple... Just have to keep digging, I guess. I'll post whatever solution I find, in case someone else is having this problem.
Thanks for your help!
dave
I remember having similar issues . For me there was some junk in the firmware folders, try removing everything and just put what u need there. Dunno if it helps but worth a try. Good Luck
