hi There
PLEASE HELP ASAP I THINK IV BROKE MY BELOVED X10
Im new to all this Mod stuff and i have no experience at ....... But I LOVE this Theme i found , its amazing!!!!!! so i rooted my phone using super oneclick, i then found RECOVERY, also got the theme [X.Gbread for 2.1 Official ROM 2.0.2.A.0.24 + Battery Circle] [new-v0.6]
Installed everything it all and was great!! everything went smooth, but some things were missing on the theme like the new swipe button, the wallpaper, the new clock etc so...... i then installed a previous version [X.Gbread for 2.1 Custom ROM AOSP], thinking that version had the bits i needed and the later version i installed first was a add-on, and now the phone will not boot up, it gets past the Sony Ericsson but wont boot past the Nexus S Bootanimation, then it restarts itself, and starts all over again, i dont know what to do as i know NOTHING about flashing phones. PLEASE HELP
Phone specs - what i had before
X10i
2.1 Update1
build no. 2.0.A.0.504
Rooted with SuperOneClick
Also busybox
Many Thanks
Leon
************* update i can get the phone to the Xrecovery screen, ive tried reinstalling both of the themes but it gets to the lock screen and when the lock comes off, a box comes up with a triangle exclamation mark on it that says 'Weeks' on it and underneath it says "year" with a button that says "%1$s %2$s" and when you press it nothing happens apart from sometimes the writing year changes to years, after a minute it reboots and does the same thing.
does anybody know how i could sort this out???
Have i 'bricked' the phone?? if so what does that mean and can i sort it?? would i be able to send it in for repair??
or how i could i flash i back to the original SE theme, with out it starting up????
hopefully somebody can save me because at the moment i have not got a phone and i love my x10 sooooo much!!!!!!
i knew i should have just left it alone!!!!!!!!
Thanks Leon
i would recommend you to do
1. a full wipe using the recovery
2. re-install the theme u wanted. (perhaps u should re-download the theme u wanted)
btw, did u install using the option "install custom zip"?
if those above does not helps,
1. re-install the firmware using SEUS or flashtools from Bin4ry
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201&highlight=flash.
2. root it and install xRecovery and then install the themes u wanted.
You'll have to really flash. The problem here was that you mixed up to FW (.24 & .504) when you installed the first theme... it clearly says for which version it is my friend....
So reflash to any ROM you want but check first the theme you're aplying and also if you have Xrecovery do a backup before any Mod so you don't have to reflash again...
Have fun you're not the first nor the last with this I've been there done that more than once....

i was thinking a full wipe but im sure i read somewhere on this thread that it needs something to work like a basis program and cant work from nothing (sorry im not techinical) - if you think it will be best to do that then i will. oh and yes i did install using the option "install custom zip"

I have done a full wipe then installed [X.Gbread for 2.1 Official ROM] from sd card.
I believe for my version no. 2.0.A.0.504 it came up with the same box as before, unable to get onto my homescreen but can see it in the background.
i dont know if i will be able to reinstall the SE firmware as it looks very complicated. im in England and it looks like i would have to use the Nordic software???? im not sure please could somebody let me know of any easier way of installing SE firmware back on???
thanks you so much for this

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

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.

Hey guys, can anyone help me out here?
I downloaded and installed My Free X10 Beta 4.. I'm pretty sure I did everything properly but it left me with one problem, it wasn't letting me enter the SIM card pin and therefore wouldn't receive signal, causing it to reboot constantly..
I've tried changing the SIM lock on startup off but to no avail - I only get errors..
Since nothing else is working I want to downgrade back down to the Stock 2.1 version, can anybody help me? Much appreciated, thanks.
If u made a backup before u did the flash then u can restore the backup but u probably didn't lol... so u have to flash 2.1 Alltel over again
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Actually I did, using the Backup and Restore app thingy, how do I restore it from there? Thanks!
If you used the SE backup and restore app then that won't be any use - it only backs up content, not Firmware..
Your best course of action is probably to try doing a repair using SEUS, or use flashtool to flash a standard SE ROM.
You know I was considering trying out Titanium Backup.. Too late now!
So I should just trying update in SEUS as normal and see what happens from there?
Sorry I'm such a noob. -.-
Yes - plug into SEUS and it will either say that you have the latest firmware, or will try to update your phone.. if it says that you have the latest firmware then you should be able to select the "repair" option...
If SEUS doesn't let you re-install the firmware then you'll need to reflash a standard ROM first.
Thanks for your help so far, you're a lifesaver
I'll try that now and get back to you when its done!
Ummmm. Not good, ran through SUES fine but its not working at all...
The phone starts up with the SE name and symbol then shuts down straight away?!

give it another flash using SEUS mate, occasionally there are problems when flashing a ROM.
If you are keen, you could use the flash tool that binary has posted. Pick the appropriate ROM package from his list, start the flasher batch file, restart the phone in flash mode and wait a few minutes.
binary's tool lives here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201 and another thread with more info is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10738467
Good luck and have patience - you cannot kill the x10 so it wont boot so you will be ok
Thanks mate, you've actually calmed me down now. It could be a late night but i'll figure this out.
Well if u had made that backup with xrecovery u would have been okay!
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Go into the SEUS and use the repair function,It will reset the phone and give you the latest firmware.
Then use the XDA flash tool to re root it,Worked great for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965202
Sorry was away from the computer yesterday..
Well a new problem, the phone isn't staying on long enough to connect to SUES.. All the stuff in them other posts about Binary is going in one ear out the other, so to say.
Can you get into flash mode at all for SEUS?
If not, try taking the battery out, then connect the USB cable, hold down the back button, and replace the battery.
Beta 4 does not work on all devices
Hi,
in order to get back a working X10 just flash the beta3. I've had the same problem and flashed the beta3 (plus Google Applications) and afterwards it worked well
Regards
Stefan
Okay, all this stuff is confusing me, try talk in noobish terms I dont understand this flashing and stuff..
I'm upto the stage where I have the flasher, just how do I flash the software onto it? Thanks for your help so far guys..
Actually, ignore it, I managed to repair it with SUES and i'm back on 2.1 I think i'll think twice before installing Betas again! Cheers for all your help guys!!
Hello!
I got problem with my Xperia X10i, I don´t know what to do.
Just some few hours ago i installed:
[ROM] [29-07] TripNMiUI "Iris" 1.8.3 Froyo!
h t t p ://android.modaco.com/topic/342875-rom-29-07-tripnmiui-iris-183-froyo-heading-for-20/
And it worked perfect, But then after that i installed Free Kernel 3.63 with Xrecovery like the ROM with misstake..
Free Kernel 3.63
And now my phone wont work, It starts and works to the "lockscreen" but then after that a error message pops up and stands that the system process doesnt answer after i unlock and after that it restarts. And Xrecovery wont start after the "Sony Ericsson" text.
I dont know what to do, If my phone is broke or if this can be fixed!
But please can someone help me!? I would be Grateful forever! and sorry for my bad english!!!
- Have a great day!
Here is how you get back to 2.1
Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Download the flash tool and the firmware you want and flash back to 2.1 and reinstall trip's miui rom.
Did you download the correct kernel for the rom you were using? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112745 has 2 froyo kernels. One for froyo and one for Miui.
Good luck my friend
1. Try flashing a normal kernel via Flashtool, seeing if this is corrected
2. Reinstall xrecovery before FC ? via Flashtool
3. Reinstall via SEUS ?
How can install something when i cant get into Xrecovery or connect my phone to the computer? .. My phone only can charge. Or is it only me doing something wrong? .. Im pressing the back button when the "Sony Ericsson" Text is shown. I dont know what to do

Again, go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Download the flashtool:http://www.multiupload.com/GYL7A7XQBT
and the 2.1 firmware:http://www.mediafire.com/?sqv6274anzfzn2x
Install the flashtool, put the firmware in the firmware folder and then follow the instructions in the thread.
This will wipe all your data and revert your phone back to 2.1. The flashtool can root and install xRecovery allowing you to install The miui rom again getting you back to where you were before you flashed the kernel.
Oh ok. ill try this! Thanks for the help. Sorry for understand directly.
Don't worry I just hope your phone gets up and running again soon!
Hello
I've installed the [ROM] MiniCM7-2.1.9 following this steps
i've previously installed a CWM
restart in recovery
wiped data/reset factory
wiped battery
wiped all ...
install Rom
install gapp
and now my phone doesn't goes to recovery and all i get is a black screen whit "Sony Ericsson" legend
please some help.
i post here, because i haven't permissions to post in the developer forum asking for help in the thread
sorry about my bad english
Did you unlock your bootloader using Flashtool?
You also need the latest version of nAa kernel installed.
Thanks for the answer
I didn't unlock my bootloader using Flashtool i haven't do that before and didn't read the installing instructions for doing that my fault
and didn't installed nAa kernel, because i think didn't need to install the kernel obligatorily
is anything i can do to solve this problem ??
You do need the nAa kernel to run MiniCM7, it just won't work without it. Next time you think about installing a rom, make sure you read all the instructions first. Especially if you're using custom kernels as that's a good way to give your phone a real hard brick.
What you've got is a soft brick. The phone still works, it just doesn't work as a phone. A hard brick is when your phone doesn't do anything at all. Which is bad.
All you need to do is download and use Sony Ericsson Update Service. This updates your phone to the latest, official firmware. If it complains that you already have it, choose the option to reinstall it anyway.
This will wipe all the data on your phone, but not your sdcard, so you'll lose your contacts, sms's, etc but you backed up anyway, didn't you?
thanks Ticklefish for the answer
i did that and now i've my phone back =D
Mine wont do that :-/
When i follow your steps Ticklefish i cant connect to the phone. it pops up with a message that tells me to pull down the status line which i cant because i only gets to the Sony Ericsson boot logo.

Hello,
I did something very stupid: I installed JIT enabler at my X10i running on rooted 2.3 Gingerbread and now my phone does not boot past the white "Sony Ericsson" logo.
If this is somehow helpful, I have XRecovery installed and I'm able to boot it. However, I haven't created a backup.
Please, help me as fast as possible, because I'm a bit desparate.
Thanks, in advance!
You mustn't use JIT on Android higher than 2.1 -
1. Cause it will make something like you have right now.
2. Android 2.3 has it in standard, so no need to use it pal .
To fix this, just flash some official ROM via FlashTool, or use PcCompanion.
Cheers mate.

Just do the same as I did (PC Companion → Repair)! I think that it doesn't wipe your data (or at least not those at the SD card).
