The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 still has an active development scene despite being over three years old. FeraLab has been providing some great support for the Xperia X10 for a while now and a few days ago it released version one of its Jelly Bean custom ROM. The firmware is based on CyanogenMod 10 (Android 4.1.2). Users are reporting that it is one of the best Jelly Bean ROMs available for the device, being both fast and stable. It’s great to see the Xperia X10 continue to be supported so well with near enough the latest Android versions. Check out a video of this ROM on the X10 below.

I cracked the scren on my GN in January, and actually used my X10 for a few weeks while I was fixing it. Still surprisingly good hardware overall, though 2.2 really feels ancient by comparison to modern Android. I may be tempted to update it with this, just in case I need my backup phone again.
whoooooooohhhhoooooooooo
nice and cool. I am also using this amazing ROM.
To author: maybe it should be goot to switch language from Czech to English before recording this video. But nice work!
Link to the ROM please
the YouTube channel always posts videos for ROMs. But never gives a link to the ROM. The person, who is handling the Channel, does not understand English. Hence there is no hope. This is just a link, which will make you feel great, but eventually disappointed, because you realize that you are not going to get the link to this ROM
Wow first update on this blog in almost a year! Glad to see the X10 still has a big following. My X10 isn’t my primary phone now (I have the SXS) but I use it for a music player and GPS tracker when I go running. Must try this ROM.
There’s a link to the announcement and ROM download in the body of the post:
http://feralab.ru/beans.html
I still have the X10 tucked away somewhere, I’ll have to dig it up soon and try this ROM. Looks really smooth!
Are you serious, all credits go to Scritch007, responsible for the first jb sources, he also made camera working on ICS and jb
Its amazing to see the XDA community working on devices such as the x10 after 3 years.
How do I get this on my x10??? I have been having problems with my s3 so transfered back to my x10 at least for the next yr or so. Someone please help me get this 🙂
Are you guys dumb or what? Scritch made CM10 for X10 and he is making CM10.1. Ferat Kesaev is a schoolboy from turkey, a romcooker not rommaker, he only makes a rom from a working one, with Scritch made. Feraet is just using somebodies work to gain money on download. Hes a liar and a thief of opensource software!
Re: comments above – no one here is denying that Scritch made the ROM originally though are they? The article is specifically about Fera’s version, and to be honest, it runs much smoother than any other X10 JellyBean ROM, so all he has done is improve it (no other JB or ICS ROM has fully unlocked FPS limit for example)
yes!

Any news on the x10 update from seus
King JAFI JOFER ruler of ZAMUNDA, Your link is wrong its just the link to the apple site lol, and unfortunately sony will no longer be doing any more official updates for the x10, your best bet is to try one of the custom roms
dfizz, i think your right pal, time to put the x10 to bed.
its been emotional.
Your right every dog has it day and the xperia has had its time, if sony ericsson stay together you never know they might have been able to make a decent new xperia to keep up with Samsung and apple
Thank you for removing all that rubbish and hopefully blocking jafi can we keep this xperia now
Yeah agreed bad man I stopped posting on this blog because of him so glad xperia.net blocked him
There was a lot of rubbish posted up of late!
Fingers crossed no more rubbish! Lol
Hello Guys,

I guessing its on xda developer site dunno if were allowed to post links on here give me a shout if your having trouble finding it and i will hunt it down for you mate
Here I see many positive and negative discussion about Xperia. Actually Xperia is now a apple and sumsung competitor also. Anybody can check Xperia new series, definitely you can compare its with apple and sumsung.
I see how you lot work ignore the king and hope he goes away, congratulations I will give you this battle and leave this blog there is a better one going on a gay site which is right up my street, anyway but remember there is no battle without a war and this is not over. This is a sad day indeed so goodbye xperia blog, but if you guys have any details on the official x10 update from seus let me know.

I appreciate all this love on this page for me it was a hard video for me to make but would have never done it, if it was not for the love of the fans i have out there, i really didnt expect this thank you all again
senthil, hows your phone going? sounds like you need to download onto your PC- Sony Ericson Update Service (SEUS) software and use it reset your phone to factory settings. Google “SEUS Sony Ericson download”
Then start over being more careful to follow custom ROM instal instructions, good luck.
good shout Bevan I didnt think of that but that should do it
Wow been a long time since I came on here, great to see its still going strong just like the x10 big yourselves up!!!!!!!
Hey Beven, Thanx, I got re flashed with stock ROM 2.3.3, but now i’m looking to flash with Feralab v29, some where i’m missing some thing in the process.
Details are below:
——————–
–> Xperia x10, flashed with 2.3.3
–> Rooted , installed xrecovery
–> Locked boot loader
now i need to know, should i install ferakernel before ROM?
if so, i tried and failed as “err_severity= major err_class= security_class err_dynamic= sin header verification failed”
Is that only addressed to Beven?
You too Dfizz :), you were with me for quite long 🙂
Hi DFizz,
I followed as per fera’s steps
FOR LOCKED BOOTLOADERS:
— Download ZIP file called nearly same as [LB]FeraKernel-GB-xxx.zip and copy it to SDcard.
— Boot to xRecovery and flash zip(all drivers are already in kernel zip).
— Reboot your device twice and you’re done.
I tried flashing Ferakernel.zip, but i could not mount sdcard, i can mount other patitions but not sdcard,
Come on everyone, I know its address to me but anyone can help, I will be looking in to this as unsure
I just wanted to add one thing with this, I installed CWM recovery and tried to flash FeraLab ROM v29 without ferakernel, i was able to install it but its not come up on 1st reboot, stays in SE logo. then reflashed to Stock 2.3.3
Please take this also, expecting your help here.
Come on guys we need to come together and help senthil we are a x10 communality here lets help keep this phone alive for senthil and everybody, please everyone reply
Boom! I’m back. Ios7 yer baby.
Dunno how helpful that link is senthi I don’t understand it but give it a try maybe. Cool welcome back Jafi you been missed, you said before you was leaving this blog as you found some gay one, how you doing, were trying to help senthil out with flashing his firmware
Jafi you still going on about iphone, what you think of ios7 seems like a poor mans attempt at android OS
DFizz, which link you are referring to?
I am just giving the history for ones who try to help me..
-Stock 2.3.3
-Locked BL
-rooted
-installed CWM recovery..
Tried so many ways but none of them worked
–> Tried to flash ferakernel ,, failed
–> Tried flash directly feralab v29 from xrecovery failed
–> then tried v29 from CWM recovery, it got installed but stuck in SE logo on 1st reboot…
any clue?????
You may have got me one, I will do some research but maybe if guys like King JAFI JOFER ruler of ZAMUNDA, Badman times 8 and Bevan are still active on this site they could offer a idea
Flashed feralab v30, error in flashing ferakernel v12.1
“Amend scripting ( update-script) is no longer supported
was deprecated by google in android 1.5”
Sorry, been a bit tied up lately,, So, V30-final. Sounds like you’re over complicating things.
— Download the ROM and place it on your phones SDcard. Backup all your data because it will be wiped!
— Boot phone into Recovery (DON’T USE ANYTHING ELSE!!!)
— I like to ‘wipe data/factory reset’ then ‘wipe cache partition’, then From the main recovery menu, enter the ‘advanced’ menu. From this menu, select ‘Wipe Dalvik Cache’
— Go back to the main recovery menu by pressing the back button and select the ‘Install zip from SD card’ option. Select ‘choose zip from sdcard’ find the ROM zip file you have copied over from your PC earlier,, and install it.. should load up AROMA..?
— Now just follow AROMA installation wizard.
— On First boot wait not less than 2 minutes, don’t touch anything and after that reboot.
— On Second boot wait 2 minutes and reboot again.
— You’re done! Do a reboot after you configured your device.
I hope that helps, good luck- let us know how you get on.
I should also add the above instructions are for Locked bootloader ^
Beven.. I tried the same, nothing more , nothing less..
it got stuck in SE logo on 1st reboot
Sounds f**ked
I suggest try find help at xda developers forum. I’m not sure why what your doing is not working, sorry.
How are you un-bricking your phone once stalled on SE logo?
Have you got a back up phone
@Beven.. Again i flash to Stock 2.3.3
@DFizz.. I do,, But i like x10 🙂
Yeah I don’t blame you best phone I have ever had hands down, I still find myself always using it
http://feralab.ru/error.html

This will work, Try and let us know what happens..
http://feralab.ru/stock.html
Guyzz…

Okay I am hanging around this thread now as I wanna get the 100 post
Finally Got feralab v30… 🙂
Nice one how is it going
Oh crap Ive been basically refreshing this site every 5 mins for the last few days for this 100 post nearly miss it

Max your a complete loser
I know everyone is just jealous of me probably the last ever xperia 10 blog entry and I will go down in history of having the last ever 100 post
senthil, how did you get it to work, what was the problem you reckon?
Bevan, can you help me out with my issue? I am not able to get into Flash mode on an x10i (with Android 2.1! :'( ) that I recently acquired. The phone also suffers from an issue where the home row and vol buttons stop working completely about 2 minutes after the phone starts.
I’ve detailed the issues on xda here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481544
Please ask if you need any more information.
Update Sony Xperia X10 to Android 4.1 via CyanogenMod 10 Firmware [Tutorial]
http://goo.gl/OLTRw7
Take a look at this link i just found http://xperiablog-z.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/update-sony-xperia-x10-to-android-41.html
Beven/fizz,
Sorry i was away for quite long..
I was totally given up in in getting Feralab ROM.. but could not let myself down..
I have gone through som eother ROM called DunutHD ( U might know ) I flashed that ROM and worked fine for stock kernel..
then i tried to flash ferakernel on DonutHD, it failed but after the reboot i could see its installed.
Then i tried installing feralab V30 , It worked 🙂
Congrats glad we could have helped long life the xperia.
Any haters wanna say otherwise, you got us to deal with
Hi guys. Still rocking an x 10 mini.
Yep im still rocking my X10 Dfizz, glad you ditched iPhone king ruler of nowhere and gone back to x10 mini
Friend,
i am using x10i. i want to update it to JB. But i couldn’t download the rom from Feralab site.
adfly.xxx is not working. any other link to download the latest feralab GB rom. please help me to do this.
thanks in advance…
bye..
ALI,
Try tis link

@senthil
My AVG reporting virus in FeraLab_JellyBean-v3.zip. Anyway, I have X10 still running official 2.3 android, but I would like to upgrade to jellybean and feralab looks fabolous. Could you please also post some instructions how to install this custom ROM cause I am new to this stuff 🙂 … thank you
Hi hrusho,,
My suggestion to you to use feralab GB rather than JB, fera did so many things in both kernel and ROM, so I would suggest it to you, thats best suit for xperia x10 ..!!!
Fuck it, just upgrade the son of a god dam gun…….
Oi this is a blog for xperia why would we upgrade, go away
Depressed, cheer up mate, It might not be too bad. sounds like it could be a hardware problem. I’d replace the keypad button flex cable and see if that sorts your problem. Ebay search “XPERIA X10 #F62” for the part,, and then Youtube for instructions on how to swap it. Make sure you sort this issue before flashing any new ROM. good luck.
Are rumours true about the x10 getting android kit kat
@bad man
Good joke
Some joke but…..
Below is the detailed guide that will lead you through the processes of installing CyanogenMod 11 custom ROM on your Xperia 10 Android:
Copy/Paste the CM 11 ROM and Google Apps folder that you downloaded earlier, to the internal storage space of your Xperia 10.
Now Power OFF your Xperia 10.
Now, Press and hold on Power+Volume Up+Volume Down keys to boot into CWM Recovery.
From the screen that appears, choose the “Recovery” option.
Now you can use the Power key to select the highlighted option, and the Volume Up or the Volume Down keys to move up and down respectively.
Now perform a Data/Factory reset from the Recovery menu.
And then, under the “Advanced” section, click on “Wipe Dalvik Cache”.
Now, return back to the main menu of the recovery menu and click on the “Install ZIP From SD Card” option.
And then choose the CM 11 ROM folder that you copied and pasted to the internal storage of your device earlier. And confirm the selection.
Now, the ROM will be installed on your device.
Now again repeat processes No. 8 and No. 9, and instead of the ROM file, now choose the Google Apps folder and confirm your selection.
Now the Google Apps will be installed on your device.
Now again return back to the main menu of the recovery menu and click on “Reboot System Now” option.
Your device will now reboot.
Hi DFizz, I followed your steps for installing the CyanogenMod 11 custom ROM which is android kitkat 4.4 but when I boot now my phone just hangs on the Sony logo
My xperia 10 phone is f**ked man help me
You guys are not too helpful on here I guess. You post details of how to get kitkat but it just messed my phone 🙁
@Dan
Flash stock again via flashtool.. and install and JB ROM .. forget about kitkat for now
@senthil
I want kitkat though the guy above seems to have it, I will use the flash tool again and do it again step by step, maybe I missed something out
Guess it would only be fitting if I make the last post in here, goodbye xperia 10 blog
I am a huge fan of my X10 and would love to move it from GB. Bought a new battery and cleared it all to start to learn how to flash customs. What is the best custom to move to. Just want the smoothest ROM I can get.
I say Feralabs latest GB rom is the one to go for. Find a link to it through Facebook or XDA forum. Jelly Bean is a bit heavy for the X10 and kitkat is not working properly yet to my knowledge.
I said “Guess it would only be fitting if I make the last post in here, goodbye xperia 10 blog”
Plzz tell me
Are there any lags
Is evrythng wrkng good (camera,apps)
I m new to this plzz help me coz i understand englsh only

Yeah my xperia 10 is now very slow but built like a brick i dropped my S4 once and the screen cracked, so using it as my main phone again, so still looking around the net for a kit kat update
I was messing with my xperia 10 today and just notice it had a built in screen protector any one taken this off
Yo! 8 I did notice the screen protector on a mates x 10 I did try pulling it off but I couldn’t, are you sure it’s not just a step in the glass that looks like a screen protector
Yo King, i know for sure its a screen protector and its pealing in the comer, i think im gonna rip it off today and can update you how it goes
