Use flashtool to install busybox.
Have you upgraded to .435?
You should use Super One Click to root and install Busybox from market, Titanium Backup and Xrecovery.
Peace,

ok so the problem now i got is that my phone is not 100% rooted but like the root is broken i cant make it root! but when i used the flashtool it said installed xrecovery everything went well samething for busybox but i still dont got root access? will i have to reset my whole device?
Use SEUS to repair your device, then use flashtool for installing busybox and xrecovery.
shouldnt i just do factory data reset?
i tried seus and didnt work!! it get stuck at the part where i gotta plug it into flash mode rawr heelp!! i tried once and it said no software available for your phone
Hello guys! I want to know where to find the stock original SE rom 2.1.1.A.0.6 to install it via xrecovery? (update.zip or custom.zip) not for flashtool.
thanks.
me too plz, I need the ROM of the original SE 2.1 firmware for xrecovery.
Man, you can always flash it with seus, sony update service.

Just flash your device, at once root and install xrecovery, then go into xrecovery and do a backup and there you go. Got the zip in xrecevory folder on your SDCard.

OP asked for a 2.1 stock rom.. Don't you think if he could have used SEUS or FlashTool he would have used that instead of asking for a xRecovery image?
Here's the deal, which I believe is the same reason the OP asks for a stock rom to flash with xRecovery.
My USB port is busted. Dead. I have better odds at winning the national lottery than making my computer connect to my X10. but I have one last hope. I have a working copy xRecovery installed on my custom X10! trouble is, if I am going to claim warranty for my phone I need a stock rom.
So, while it is possible to flash custom roms so why is there no stock roms available for xRecovery? or is there?
I install JRom and found out that this rom is exactly the same with the original stock rom I had when I bought this phone.
Thx ... never think of that before... °_°

Instead of stock apps you need to use the stock rom from Sony. Try your country and operator specific ROM's from the following link.

I'm sorry but why do you need stock apps to update through Sony? It doesn't make sense. What are you trying to do exactly?
I want to update my phone to the latest x10 update, and in order to do that, you need all the original stock apps on your phone like timescape and others which I removed with titanium backup to free up space on m my phone. Somehow, they disappeared from my list of backed up apps, and without those you cannot update through pc companion. So it's REALLY important. I know someone had a thread posted here before with all the stock apps for download, but I can't find it anywhere... Can someone help pls?

No you don't need any stock apps to do an update.
You need to flash a generic firmware with FlashTool and do it with user data wipe unchecked.
I've never used flashtool before, and I want to stick with the regular pc companion updating. Is this possible?
Sent from my X10a using XDA Premium App
It is possible, PC companion/SEUS would just read your phone.
Because I remember the last time I updated, I tried without reinstalling all the stock apps and it just told me there are no updates available. When I reinstalled them, it updated my phone... Thats why it's really important that I get all those apps back...

Then just flash back to stock and check again.
Anyways, I don't think the SEUS or PC companion recognises your phone by reading the apps in it, instead it should read your firmware number, baseband and kernel version.
In flashing back to stock, wouldn't I lose all my current apps though??
Sent from my X10a using XDA Premium App
Yes, and you still don't need any stock apps to do a flash

But I don't want to lose all my apps... Are you sure I don't need the stock apps to update through pc companion? I wonder why it wouldn't update it for me last time until I reinstalled them all... I also remember someone at xda mentioning that you do need them or sony won't update it...
Sent from my X10a using XDA Premium App
YOU DO NOT NEED STOCK APPS TO UPDATE!!!! Don't you think all of us would be having the same problem as you if that were the case?
You KNOW that even if you flash via PC Companion you will LOSE all your apps and data when you update it right?
Here are your options:
Your phone is rooted right? Download Titanium Backup from the market and backup all your apps. You will have all your apps and data saved. Now update. Once your phone is updated, re-root your phone. Download Titanium Backup again from the Market. Restore your apps and data.
An alternative method is in xrecovery. Backup your current rom in Xrecovery. Once done, update it. Once done, root, install xrecovery and advanced restore your data.
If you want to use PC Companion, without connecting your phone, press update and go through the steps manually, i.e. find your phone and so forth and then connect your phone when it asks you to. If it says you have the latest software, press REPAIR. If that doesn't work, just flash via Flashtool!!!!! If you are so hell bent on using PC companion, just repair via PC Companion after you flashed it with Flashtool.
There have been updates via PC Companion (it's up to v2.0 now) and I think it can tell if you customized your phone a la rooting or custom roms.
Ok thanks. Is using seus better than pc companion? I truthfully want to put gingerbread on my phone, but don't know which rom is best for that on xda... Can you help me? Which is most stable? And how long is the process?? Thanks, much appreciated

Instead of asking and writing here, go try it out. It's much simpler than all this back and forth in questions. It's very simple, start SEUS press accept ToU, chose your device (X10) and do a install. And yes you will lose your data when updating or re-flashing your phone.

Hello everyone..
Im using Clean V5 found here: Great rom and pretty fast!
But im having issues with the phone constantly rebooting after flashing V6.
I downloaded the zip, copied it to the sdcard, rebooted phone into recoverymode, made a backup. Choosed custom zip had it flashed and after i made a full wipe and rebooted.
It gets stuck at the blinking marker, and after awhile it reboots and loops.
Note, i can go back into recoverymode and reset.

Maybe you should re-flash again 2.1.1.C.0.0 original firmware. With this way you never got the problem

Love your dedication of helping
I just found a clean backup on my computer Ill restore and see what firmware it is and try V6 this weekend.
Edit:
The backup I had didnt have matching MD5 for some reasons but I managed to use SEUS and phone was restored to original firmware
I just flashed V6 and I do have compatible firmware "C.0.0" and holy cow it works!
Maybe the term 'firmware' is confusing. Because V6 -ROM- contains a dualtouch module that only works with the 2.1.1.C.0.0 -KERNEL- , it can cause problems.
There's a link in the first post of the rom thread (read carefully) to the right kernel (.ftf file) which you can flash using flashtool.
Sorry I didn't see this before, since V6 I'm just using the phone ;-)

yeah thanks just need to register... (not pay) i use your 2.3.4 actually.. it give me ability to upgrade in .62 without loosing root... and now "bonus" PCC ask me to upgrade ICS centraleurope version... just all i need with a downgrade :d
Hi,
I have a xperia neo....with rooted stock firmware .62 and unlocked bootloader (testpoint method)...I have taken a nandroid backup of it
I just wanted to try out ics...so planning to update using PCcompanion
Before updating...i just want to know
1. whether it's possible to downgrade to gb through cwm nandroid restore? Do I need to flash the kernel for .62 after the nandroid restore ?
2. will root access be restored after the downgrade? Since .62 is cannot be rooted, I'll have to flash .42 to get root access
I don't want to start restoring all the installed apps...hence thinking of using nandroid backup against flashtool
heres a video on how to :
SIMPLEST WAY TO DOWNGRADE TO 2.3.4 factory firmware
...Hi, hope i can help you after i spent myself days looking to root or flash my device, with no luck. There is just 3 simple steps to follow and you are done. Trust me its working fine:
1. Go To: (http thing) i cant link as new user...//androidadvices.com/downgrade-sony-xperia-arc-official-gingerbread-23-firmware/2/ and download 2 files (flashtool and Xperia Arc S firmware package... works for xperia arc, arc s, pro, etc). This is the Gingerbread 2.3.4
2. Unzip, install and start (as admin) Flashtool, then COPY XPERIA ARC S FIRMWARE PACK (is a .ftf file) INTO Installed Flashtool, FIRMWARE Folder (PASTE inside), START FLASH, choose FLASHMODE, follow on screen steps.
P.S. When restart your phone in FLASHMODE: With the phone turned off, press and HOLD BACK button, while connect USB, next seconds, you'll get the GREEN Light(phone) and flashing begins.
3. ENJOY your new installed GINGERBREAD 2.3.4 Firmware
P.S. ...NO ROOT REQUIRED... ...and yes, i know there are more than 3 steps... so? still works great. GOOD LUCK
