maybe you don't have the busybox installed...
I did root my x10 using z4root permenant rooting and busy box was ok and xrecovery worked fine automatically..
used the custom rom freedom 8b and back to the original SE rom ,, which amazed me great work,,
now I used the custom rom black freedom 7a and the xrecovery wont install either automatically nor manually !! am kinda stuck with this rom,, tried rerooting and rebooted million times..
If anyone can help would be grateful
Thanks
manually copy the 3 files (chargemon, xrecovery, etc) into the /system/bin folder and make sure that you have the version of busybox from the market installed.
to manually copy these files u will need root explorer and make sure that you are mounted in RW mode.
I just did that and it works! Woo hoo!! Runs a treat with linpack around 33, still hasn't fixed the stuttering audio but hoping se will sort that in next update... fingers crossed

i think you can do that with flashtool (check my sig)
I know that this is in the x10 forum, but i did it with the X8 tutorial, but couldn't find any usefull threads in the X8, to this problem.

Xrecovery not working after latest stock rom
Xrecovery is definitely not working on my X10i after I stupidly re-installed the latest stock Rom... I have done all the normal steps and it now does not work... I have previously had various roms on this phone and now Xrecovery is not working im worried I'm stuck with the stock rom. Now don't ask me to press the back button and copy the files into the System folder...I've done all that I'm telling you there is something in the latest stock rom to block it in my opinion.

Hi, sorry if posting in wrong section
Im currently stuck in bootloop after modifying framework-res.apk.
Phone is of course rooted, used root explorer to paste the framework-res.apk, renamed the original one.
I have googled around a bit, and im pretty confused
Any ideas how to make it boot?
Thanks!!
As it is stuck in a bootloop , all u can do is flash a stock Rom again, I find this is the only solution or may be u can push stock framework if available using adb!!

Wenever modifying framework u shud always consider backing up your Rom!!

First, thanks for the replies !!!
I messed around with fastboot a little yesterday, and i have a little problem installing it. I finally figured out how to install the drivers, but I cant get adb open, it just closes after clicking on it
How can I get this work?
First of all you should have set right permissions for the file before restart
ADB starting only from command line, and if you use Vista or Seven just right click on the folder where ADB is situated and type "ADB"
use SEUS ... it's the easy way ...
um isnt that for older SE phones? Or maybe im wrong
I couldnt find anything about it..
Ok I finally got ADB working, however it cant find my phone :/
I connected it via fastboot (?), like holding down vol-up and plug in USB, phone gets a blue notification light up left.
Is this the right mode? Drivers should be working just fine according to device manager..
Thx

SEUS knows if you tried to modify your phone. It won't help.

I have rooted, and modified the system with uto kitchen, and other mods here in the forum and still dont have any problem if I try to flash it with SEUS
Change the permission of the file which you have copied.
Don't worry it will work fine.

Root Explorer Can do the trick.
hello.. im also stuck in boot loops.. so how can i fix this using adb tools ??? plsss help :\
reflash using wotanserver
may be you wrong to set permissions
sir please please please help me i have micromax A110 i have same problem but i have backup my data and it is in internal sd card i have backup data through clockword recovery but no luck it is just boot lopping please someone help
Lol this happends never, because i know how to modify framework-res.apk properly (lol), i build a flashable zip on my phone always to make sure it copied, and have a flashable zip with framework-res.
Well, the easiest solution is to reflash the ROM/framework-res.
Jader13254 is right, you should always have a rescue strategy before messing around with something like framework-res.apk. It sounds like you don't have cwm recovery installed, which sounds particularly crazy. The bootlooping is going to make it difficult to use adb or android commander or anything similar with out recovery. If you have cwm you have some options to push the working framework onto the phone, but with out cwm, I think you can only use SUS/SEUS/PCC or flashtool to repair your phone. Just check for any of the guides for rooting, unbricking, updating ,etc your device.
[Q]Sony BootLoop Solution??
Only post here is somebody get the solution of bootloop problem..
i think that the only think that we can do is wait for someone that posts an update.zip to be flashed via recovery, obviously for the different versione..mine is 16gb 3g (europe sgpt114it)...your is?
I understand that we're all happy we got root, but you gotta be careful running out and deleting/freezing everything without a proper way to restore!
Also, these question threads should all be moved to general.
sorry for posting here, but I can see many people facing this similar boot loop issue & other threads are getting flooded, that is why I posted here..
Lets try to find some way as of now to get rid of this frustrating boot loop !!!
EDIT:
Can anyone tell me, what exactly should be present inside those update.zip?
I am not able to unzip or see the content of signed-nbx03_001XXXXXXXXX.zip, giving some error !!!
it gives errors because the zip is encrypted
what if someone posts a full rom dump and i flash all the files manually via adb?
I tried with another zip and now in Recovery Mode , getting below error:
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

Since some files are encrypted or contain personal keys, I would think that this would be not advisable. Especially if you have the 3G version (IMSI keys, eyc.)
However, if you can remember what was the last action you performed before the bootloop (for example, uninstalled a particular system app), I would be happy to find the .apk and/or relevant system folder for you so you can install it via ADB (I suppose this would be possible, provided you still have ADB access and root/su).
I was trying to change the fonts using FONT CHANGER, I have not deleted any of the default apps or anything.

****.. thats not good.. you cant even reflash the same version of update..
you could wait for another update from sony, or wait for some hack of recovery, or hm... warranty?
are you able to get into recovery?
I am able to go into Recovery Mode, tried updating thru sdcard but I think we dont have the proper firmware to restore!!!
Its under warranty but donno wanna go there, it needs a solution coz I will again try to change fonts for sure
Did you try looking at condi's post? I am not quite sure what condi managed to achieve, but it sounds at least relevant.
Also, bear in mind I have posted a link to the contents of the (stock) font folder. If we knew exactly what changes are made by this application, it would be possible to revert them. If you can find out, I can find the stock files for you so you can manually reverse this issue.
EDIT: Do NOT try any of the above -- according to sapphire88. You've been warned!
tried both the way, by replacing the fonts with the original ones and by editing the build.prop...the results is that now i'm stucked at the sony logo (no more one time access to the home screen) ...contacted sony to ask them if i could have the original firmware in update.zip format...perhaps (i don't really think that they will give it to me)...
Well, this still makes no sense however. Can we approach the developer of Font Changer and ask the sort of changes the application is performing? I assume that it is not just replacing fonts, but also some system files that point to the fonts that are being used. If we could track all changes and reverse them, surely this would fix the issue.
What about condi's downgrade/upgrade option? (you said it did not work)
Also, do you still have access to ADB (perhaps in recovery)? If you do, then you can still essentially find ways to fix this issue. But for the time being let's black list Font Changer.
i haven't used an app to change the fonts, i've manually replace the three clock fonts (only those three files), and it ended in a bootloop, in recovery adb doesn't work and i can't no more access to the home screen to use adb..
anyone know about Safety Mode?? How to enter into safety mode.
Note: I am NOT talking about Recovery mode..

ADB is available in recovery - just wait a minute or two - it will become available. But its not fully working as in normal boot. Check it, you can 'adb push' some files, maybe you could turn your fonts to stock ones?

Yes, I figured it out some time ago, press power + vol-down, and keep vol-down pressed until tab fully start system.
ohh, so safe mode of no use as we are stuck with boot loop !!!
i modified some files and now my prime wont boot up. it satys on the asus loading screen. i am on locked bootloader rooted .14. how do i replace the files with adb? i made a copy of the files i made and renamed them wit .bak at the end. i tried holding power+vol down and then vol down and got an android with a red triangle. i then tried adb shell from the command prompt but it said device not found. can some one help? thanks.
no one? i guess ill just go to asus for help.
newvet said:
I had been fighting with the same exact problem for the past 2 days!
I just fixed it by downloading the .21 firmware from Asus and renaming the extracted file EP201_SDUPDATE.zip. Manual update method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570696&page=13 post 128.
I am now up and running and if I can get adb going again I will do the downgrade and root. I probably will not mess with the build.prop for a while. Good Luck

Give this a try. Worked for us
did this delete your camera pics and videos? i did that last time and i lost my pics. but it was probably because i had done a factory reset before i tried this thinking that would fix it. but this shouldnt touch those files because its like an update right?
I can`t say 100% because I also did a factory wipe first. But I`m pretty certain it is just a manual update and you should be ok.
thanks alot bro. it worked and my stuff is still there.
Glad it all worked out! Enjoy

I tried this method by renaming the zip from within the extracted file and put in on a microsd card then i rebooted into system recovery and got the android with the red ex, so i rebooted but it goes back to the black screen after the epad logo and never forces the update. Any suggestions?
Hello, I've got a problem, this morning I tried to mod camera (NOTE 2) to get slow mo etc.
I used stock rom rooted and U used to do operation a root explorer. So it said on instruction to follow some kind of steps delete samsungcamera.apk file and change it to modded, place ilb(?) and second file to system directory.
Okay after that my camera has gone but it come up as a new icon but it doesn't worked. Then my phone rebooted...
And it worked, but after while I tried to reboot it again coz the icon dissapperead completely so I thought to reboot it and since then I can't turn on the phone because it still on the samsung flashing logo.
What I tried so far.
=Odin - restore to stock rom (three UK) says FAIL
=Wiped up data, system using factory reset
=Rerooted it
Still nothing.
Cheers guys, I am willing to even pay for solution...

I think maybe you've followed different instructions with me, yesterday I just flash it (the note 2 camera) with CWM and nothing is happened
So if you failed to restore stock ROM, maybe you can try any other custom ROM (for example ARHD v14 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334). This ROM doesn't need ODIN, it uses CWM to flash it from your external/internal SD Card.
I don't know if this solution will work or not, but it is worth to give a try :angel:
Cheers mate, keep smiling :highfive:
still nothing ... Can't get any further than samsung logo... Black screen appears after music.

Hi I has a similar problem this morning after trying to root with Insecure Kernel. I solved it. Please refer to my thread post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973035 - Hope it works for you as well :fingers-crossed:
After about 2 days I finally and completely solved my problem.
What I've done to achieve full boot
*format and wipe out of data on sdcard as well as external
*format of system (was quite dangerous)
*referred to wipe app and rom from second post
*unplug battery for bout 5 hours and to be fair that's what helped because I tried several roms (on zip) before as well as rom that I've got currently
Still don't know how come it affected what happened but who knows.
Just want to say big thanks to everyone who has replied and supported me. I do appreciate that.
