So, I tried installing zdzihu's Beta 4 today through xrecovery after updating my phone to the latest baseband (.54) through SEUS. The ROM installs successfully, but I'm stuck in an infinite loop of reboots afterwards. If I go to the phone information in settings, it says the baseband is "unknown". There is no phone reception either. When I flash the default 2.1 firmware back onto the phone, it works fine.
Anyone have any suggestions for me? I've tried re-doing every step more than 3 times now, and 2 and a half hours later I'm nowhere
Thanks!
go to adb shell, su mode then tpye killall servicemanager
Use Xrecovery menu from boot-up.
You know...When Sony Ericcson appears when switched on, press the back button a few times?
Then do a Clear User Data (Factory FULL Reset)
THEN try to boot back up.
You have no baseband in About Phone because it was getting conflicts from your stock SE rom.
If it still doesn't work
Use Flash For X10 to put the Stock 435 with baseband .54 back on make sure that work ok, root it using the same Flash software, install busy box and Xrecovery then...
Re-Boot back into Xrecovery
Wipe User data
Install Custom zip etc etc to get Beta 4 running again.
Thanks for the tip! I tried a different stock image and it works fine now.
ALERT ALERT cpu works 100% always in stock roms this will burn
Hey guys, first post here
Had a streak fora bout a month now and it is currently on froyo 2.2 and baseband 319(the o2 locked version)
I have rooted it successfully I think! Using superonclick, found out I had to do a shell root first then a root. So superuser is in my apps and along with that I can use the SU command in terminal.
So I guess thats a successful root right?
Trying to put the new streakdroid on it and this is when I get problems.
I have rom manager app installed and use the flash clockworkmod recovery to streak by clicking it and picking dell streak.
All seems successful but when I try to boot into recovery clockwork, it gets SU permission but just restarts the phone :/
Even turning it off and turning it on while holding volume keys just enters a recovery that isn't clockwork at all
Anything that I am missing at all?
Thanks in advance!
See this thread.
If you want to install one of the Streakdroid ROMs you don't have to root first.
Install (flash) streakmod recovery
Use fastboot -i 0x413c reboot, while the phone restarts hold both volume buttons to get to streakmod (don't let the phone restart normally)
Wipe the cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
Install the version of streakdroid you want
There are some pictures in this thread that may help with using streakmod recovery.
I got it working in the end using clockworkmod.
Found out rom manager isn't so good for streak
Wel I got streakdroid installed and decided I didn't like it so flashed back a stock 2.1 ROM and updated to 2.2 on the dell site.
I rooted becuase I wanted to use titanium backup. I'm now going to setup a stock 2.2 nandroid backup then setup a streakdroid nandroid backup and switch between them until I like one more
Will that work?
All Questions and Problems regarding Streakdroid should be asked in the streakdroid Thread Thanks
my phone keeps rebooting and cant read my sd card when i turn it on. Each time it reboots it runs the phone fine then 10 seconds later it reboots. I just installed CM 6.1.3 V 4.5.7 and was working great for a day. I installed busybox b/c my titanium backup wouldnt run for some odd reason. After that it kept rebooting and saying "Sorry! Process system is not responding." I cant run xrecovery or anything at this point. Can i flash with the V0.2.6 Flashtool. If so what do i flash? i have the .54 basebrand if that matters. PLEASE HELP
It's probably because you installed busybox. In thisROM you need not to install busybox and xRecovery as they are pre-installed. Their shortcuts have been removed.
You can flash back to the 2.1 SE and then try the CM6.1.3 v4.5.7 ROM out again.
can i use the same generic SE rom i flashed before
Have you made a backup of any previous ROMs using xRecovery?
If not, you can Flash back to the 2.1 SE ROM using SEUS. And then try the CM6.1.3 ROM again.
Yes i made a backup of CM 6.1.3 v01 gingerbread ROM. What can i do?
Go into xRecovery -> backup and restore -> restore... and restore your CM 6.1.3 v01 gingerbread ROM.
If it does not work, you can use SEUS.
sorry im not really up to par on what SEUS is. Can i just use the new flashtool and download the 2.1.435 SE version and flash that?
SEUS is Sony Ericsson Update Service.
You can use flashtool too.
okay im trying it out... THANKS!
Have been trying to upgrade my x10i, have been having a problem with getting xrecovery installed as I know it requires it, it came with it installed but with only 2.2 android system installed .
I have managed to install this version X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_1241-1846 ( 233mb odd ), which i got from one of the treads here, installed it to get me out of having a soft bricked phone, so the base band is now .71 while android v is now 2.3.3.
Only real problem is that i cannot seem to install xrecovery, or get into recovery mode. Does anybody have a ftf file that installs xrecovery so that i can then look at installing one of the nice roms on here
does anybody otherwise know how to install xrecovery to a x10 without it already?
I have been looking on here but have had not much luck except from almost knackering my phone, and ending up till about 3.30 in the morning getting it back up and running, so any ideas would be appreciated.
also flashtool doesnt seem to detect the phone, when booting into flash mode except from when flashing a file.
I think that its rooted, via superuser installed, plus have also installed busybox, as i know thats also meant to be installed.
If you put into Google download xreocovery.apk you can install it that way make sure you have busybox installed

Go watch this video!

That is the DooMLord method.
Helped me get my 2.3 phone rooted and put xrecovery.
2.3.3 gingerbread needs to be flashed to a phone that uses root with xrec,superuser,and busybox installed and working before trying to flash.
As far as I know you can't root 2.3.3.
When trying to install xrec what happens, does it ask for supeuser
permission?
If the pc dosent detect the phone u must only have pluged in the phone on usb,sry4my english:d

ok, got this far, managed to get xrecovery 0.3 installed, after getting access to root and busybox installed.
now trying to install the wolf gb 3.5 rom installed it says this error:
installing : sdcard : wolf_gb_2.3_tw_v3.5.zip
finding update package....
e: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcb1k0)
(Device or resource busy)
E: cant mount sdcard:wolf_gb_2.3_tw_v3.5.zip
installation aborted
i then find that the card has has been unmounted, and cannot be remounted unless i reboot, any ideas?
Have also tried to use the restore method for a couple of the roms here that that comes up with error:
e: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcb1k0)
(Device or resource busy)
cant mount /sdcard
Did you backup your rom, system reset, wipe cache, wipe data.
Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHBYJW2verg&feature=feedu_more
edit: You should still have the rom in tact on the phone.
When I say wipe and reset that = format in xrec.
Yep done all that, its xrecovery im having a problem with, i cant figure out how to update, tried copying over to phone with write access, no luck, cant even figure out about the shell as i dont see anything for it, so cant run commands, im really getting naffed off about this now as been spending nite and day trying to figure it out with no luck
You didn't watch the video did you, save you and me some time and watch it!
I need to know a few things.
1. Can you you boot into recovery? 2. do you have a way of copying files to your phone. 3. have you the kernel, Bb, Rom and any tweaks and fixes you want, downloaded. 4. What rom are you running on your phone and does it work. 5. Do you have PC Companion, Update Service, and Flashtool installed on you PC.
Why are you talking about shell, commands, and write access. you don't need any of that.
Settle down... watch the video, it's only 14 mins.
Hi guy. The first thing I want to say is there are two way to root from Android 2.3.3:
- Downgrade to Android 2.1 and root then install custom ROM but it's just an Android 2.1 with Android 2.3.3 baseband and kernel to run with custom ROM.
- Root from Android 2.3.3 and till now just one method is working.
I think that its rooted, via superuser installed, plus have also installed busybox, as i know thats also meant to be installed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You did the wrong way.
This is root method and install xRecovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196808&page=1
And I will say that the BusyBox installer will not help you to install xRecovery. It will not work. So, you have to do like that method and watch video if you want.
I was trying to install a mod for the TripNMIUI rom I had on my X10, but I think I somehow ended up completely wiping my phone instead.
Now it wont get past the SONY ERICSSON logo screen, and I can't get into xRecovery.
I have a backup, but I have no idea how to get xRecovery on the device so that I can restore it.
So, my question is this: how do I install xRecovery on a completely wiped X10?
Please help.
EDIT:
Well, turns out I did have an idea after all. This is what I did:
1. Installed stock SE rom via SEUS by doing to 'Repair phone' thing
2. Rooted and installed xRecovery with Flashtool
3. Restored my latest backup
Forgive my noobiness. Since the thread is now pointless, how do I delete it?
