I'm a little stuck here and I'm not sure how this happened. I'm using a rooted X10a. I tried installing XRecovery and BusyBox so I could change ROMs again (I've tested a few) and somewhere along the way somthing happened and now after the phone boots, it doesnt recognize the SD Card, there is no notification/status bar and an Force Close message pops up "Process system is not responding". Then after a few minutes, it reboots itself. I've finally be able to connect it to Droid Explorer. The normal "holding the back button while plugging in the data cable" is not putting the phone into flash mode. I'm at my wits end, as I have been dealing with this for 2 days. Please if anyone has any ideas, any help would be appreciated. I really miss my Android
Conflict caused by double install of busybox? Or are you entirely sure it wasn't installed anymore? What happened to me was, I totally forgot that I already had busybox installed (though, not visible) and what happened was it conflicted with the other busybox/xrecovery hence breaking xrecovery and giving me almost the same symtoms you are experiencing. Unfortunately for you, I was able to just get into flashmode.. I take you tried SEUS?
What rom are you on ?
Sounds like you have messed up your xrecovery path.
Once you install xrec you dont need to install busybox as it depends on a certain version. I sugest you read z's xrecovery thread for more answers.
Hope you get it sorted.

Yes, but since the SD card won't mount because I have no notification bar it won't connect properly

you broke the xrecovery dude cause you installed again xrec and busybox...
if you install 2.2 above dont re install xrec again..
flash again (clean flash) take off your battery for 30 sec and put your usb cable in phone and hold the back button then insert the battery..
gudluck..
Is there by chance another way to put it in to flash? Plugging in the usb cable, then holding the back button while putting in the battery will not work

open the flashtool click flash, select firmware click ok.
then do again my instructions above.
I click "Flash" in the flash tool but when I go to select the firmware, it does not show up where I put it. Do i need a certain format of file?
You have to download the firmware and flashtool from here. To get the phone in flash mode follow X10b directions
i had the exact same problem in wolfbreak's 2.2 rom after i installed busybox again, it wouldn't flash with flashtool, etc, what i did to fix it was after it was booted, i opened flashtool and connected the usb, and after it said process system not responding i pressed wait, then clicked on flashtool install root, next to flash button, it installed and then it rebooted, then after it rebooted, i clicked on ask root perms, then the superuser thing popped up and i pressed allow, then quickly i clicked on flashtool install xrecovery, and it installed!!! Then I rebooted and xrecovery worked, so I restored a nandroid backup I had and then my phone was back to normal
I had this problem after editing chargemon in windows. Copy the chargemon from recovery.zip using adb push, then chmod 06755. Thats work for me

hey guys, this is my first time i would say i bricked my phone. i need someone to help me my phone has been in 'coma' for nearly 2 days now.
so this happened when i try to apply this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306044 and after i carelessly copied framework-res.apk to system/framework using root explorer without setting the correct permissions, my phone automatically shuts off and try to restart but it failed, it stucked on the big sony ericsson logo and 'sony ericsson' text.
i have pull out the battery hundred times and try to reboot my phone normally but it didnt worked it still stucked on the sony ericsson logo.
so can anyone help me please...
what tools/application should i get to fix this?
first of all, i dont want to wipe/lose/factory reset my phone memory data because that would make my phone contacts gone which i never ever want to happen. so please is it possible to backup my contacts somewhere else if wiping is the answer at least??
okay i took a lot of time to type this and hoping someone give me an answer
Hi, what is your model no? and you rooted it?

i use sk17i mini pro as mentioned above and yes it is obviously rooted
Congratulations, you have felt the power of customizing Android for the first
Actually, one way to fix this now, is to get back to fully stock firmware.
The second way would be to unlock bootloader, install a custom kernel, enter recovery and use Fix Permissions option. Unfortunately, not all Recoveries have this, only some versions of ClockworkMod Recovery. I have used many kernels on my LWW and only some of these included this option and I can't remember which one had, which not.

If contacts is too important for you and you have no backups, then go for the 2nd way - Unlock bootloader and install a custom kernel, which offers the Fix Permissions option.
I will check the Update Service, if Repair option will erase user data or not, currently updating my phone.
EDIT: Yes, removes all data.

If you can access flashmode, then your okay. Just flash stock firmware.
Will check Flashtool option.
Yep, you're correct, Flashtool has option to not wipe user data.

plz help me thanks in advance gents
Actually, i think you could've salvaged your phone without the need of flashing it... If you had access to CWM, you could've put framework file into zip file and flash it with CWM. It helped me once when i got stuck in bootloop after failed installation of a mod

its very easy to recover your phone if you got bootloop or stuck at sony ericsson logo. dont sweat.
first of all you need a stock .ftf firmware downloaded. any .ftf stock firmware .58/62/42 or whatever as long as it is stock.
then download and install flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309
then put your downloaded .ftf firmware at c:/program files/flashtool/firmwares/"your downloaded .ftf firmware"
then open flashtool and click on the lightning icon. and choose flashmode.
then press volume down button, while you do that connect your phone to pc using usb then flash the firmwares. then boom your phone back to life

I think that is a bootloop problem , you can try this method. It helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4nfePh0KQc&feature=plcp
I also had this same problem when installing hybrom v17 with lock bootloader and stock kernel. It helped me a lot. Hit thanks if I helped
So... I realize there's multiple threads of people asking help on unbricking in general, but I accidentally re-locked the bootloader before flashing a stock kernel.
... Is this phone now a lost cause?

If you're on gingerbread or lower than you should be able to unlock it again with flashtool, as far as i'm aware. Try a stock firmware flashable with flashtool, there should be some available in the x10mini pro development section of this forum.

I hope you meant to say flashtool, and not fastboot? our phones don't support fastboot. Always choose flashmode...
The Plugins drop-down should be empty because the ROM you're on is unsupported for the unlock-plugin.
However, you should be able to flash the stock kernel, Hold on...
This should be flashable with flashtool. I can't guarantee that it will make your phone work properly, but it will give you back the stock kernel, and possible enable you to unlock your bootloader again, or at least enable you to flash the other firmware you had lying around...

The same thing happened to my xperia mini pro (U20a) when trying to update through SEUS and the software in the pc (PC companion) crashed by performing an illegal operation(Now it is no longer recognized by seus). This result my phone turning into a brick with only a big triangle with ! mark and a phone's picture was displayed on the screen when it turned on. I have never rooted the phone or installed Xrecovery/busybox (learned about them from this forum threads only). So I was anxiously following this thread and installed Flashtool and downloaded the ftf file (220MB) specified in this thread. Then voila, the flash was successful with this and the phone switched on. Now the second level of problem starts. None of the keys ( even the power key) or touch screen responds once the phone boots up.However the SIM is responding to the incoming calls (although cannot receive them as the touch screen is not operational). The battery is 100% charged and sim signal is 100% with sd card successfully mounted . Every time I need to remove the battery to switch it off. The display is now showing current date time (in a blue background) and a lock(left) and speaker (right) icons. Everything is stalled here. Downloaded two more firmwares and bundled them(sin files) in flash tool, but none worked except this fft file.
Please help
PS I have attached the flash tool log file for this flash.
To both of you: Try Repair with PC Companion.
1. Leave the phone unplugged
2. Start PC Companion
3. Choose Support Zone
4. Choose Update
5. It can find no update because your phone is unplugged
6. Click the Repair-link it shows
7. Follow the instructions from there on.
Hope that works, if not: Download this and flash with flashtool.
Thanx for the quick reply.
I have started the pc companion and go to the repair option. However after selecting the model from the list, it started updating. Then BANG!! Again the program performed an illegal operation and shutdown by the window XP.. The entire PC screen hanged and I had to manually kill it by pressing ALT+Ctrl+Del . So it seems this method will not work in my laptop.
Downloading your FTF file and trying it in flash tool. Hope it will work.:crying:
PS: your link is now pointing to the zip file and I have tried the UK version of that already ( by building the ftf from sin files in flash tool) with no improvement. Can you give a ftf file directly like the last one ? Thanx in advance.

Did you remove the other one you flashed earlier?
Not sure what's going wrong there, it should show up...
You did restart flashtool?
If you are still there
I removed and reinstalled the flash tool. Followed the procedure discussed so far. Still it is not showing in the list.Screen shot attached. The U20 option which is showing is for your earlier ftf file (kernel_locked) and not the renamed one (however if I bundle the sin files and create the ftf by specifying build number, version etc..) it is showing. However , flushing with that made no improvement. It took sometime to respond as I was trying these.

My bandwidth for this month has ended. However I still have night unlimited facility. So I will download it at night. One more thing, when the download is handled by firefox, the file size is showing as 120 MB but in Internet Download manager, it is 213MB. What is the actual size ?
Hi guys,
I've been using my Sola for over a year now and I like the phone, i got the CM9 build from freeXperia on it (FXP 210 CM 9 PEPPER) with cwm on it and loved it.
Two weeks ago trouble began when the phone was very unreliable, it rebooted several times a day, sometimes I noticed that the phone got very warm when rebooting.
I found out that there was no diskspace left, so I deleted some of the playlists on Spotify that I downloaded and that gave me back about 2 gb of internal room.
Since yesterday some processes where quitting and this happened a couple of times (it was the google media process), this morning after being on the adapter for the night the problem was still there. So I rebooted the phone (normal reboot) and then the trouble really kicked in.
When I boot now I see a message stating "Android is being updated, starting apps" then I see my normal lockscreen and the errors start rollling in.
The only errors I can see are the "android.phone process stopped working" and "NFC service stopped". When I press close on those they keep coming back, so fast I cant't even get past my lockscreen anymore.
On the phone is some very critical data to me, I have to restore that data (its in a encrypted app database). As long as I can save that data and restore it to use when the android/app is restored I'm fine.
Can someone give me advise on how to continue?

Where is that data located? If it's on internal memory in it's own directory it will remain intact if you repair/flash firmware.
EDIT: some other thoughts, try to remove the SIM or switch to airplain mode.
I'm not 100% percent sure where it is located, It's on the internal memory but I'm not sure if where it is exactly. It's a database of an app.
Won't I lose all my files on reflash? Reflash can be done with fastboot right? And I should reflash the firmware (kernel?)? Not the rom itself?
Already tried rebooting with SIM and sdcard out, no luck though.
No luck on connecting to ADB, I tried but USB debugging is turned off and my drivers seem to let me down... I can get connect to fastboot
Other ideas?

Too bad USB debugging is off.
If database is on device memory than it will be lost if you wipe data on flash. If you don't wipe data you may still have those errors, but you can take your chances and try without wiping data.
Yes with flashtool, do you have the FTF file for the firmware you are currently using?
Is it tooted and have CWM on it?
I don't have the FTF anymore, but I know where to find it.
Luckily I have CWM on it.
Do I have to reflash with the zip or just run the update?

I think best is to make your own FTF.
Start repair with PC Companion, and when it finish downloading the files and ask to shut down the phone, stop and create the FTF as explained here.
The FTF can only be flashed with flashtool.
I don't mean to sound rude but why do I want my own FTF?
Do you mean a FTF from the OEM firmware, they can be downloaded from XDA as well.
Or do you mean creating an FTF from the files that are now on my phone?

I've seen a few people hat flashing firmware they download didn't work well for them but flashing with SUS or PCC did.
I'm not twisting your hand, if you rather use FTF you can download somewehere and it works then do that.
Ok so i tried to flash the kernel, the flashing went well but the error persists.
I think it's time to conclude that my data is gone..
It gave me some headaches and I sweared a lot but i got it working again.
I've flashed the boot.img, didn't resolve the issue.
I've updated the same rom over my old rom, didn't solve the issue.
I wiped cache only (to try and see if it would work) and this worked.
So it might have been a cache problem after all.
The updating android thingy was shown again only this time it said it had to update 100+ apps, and it did. After that I could use my phone again.
First things first, lets make a backup .
Thanks ChickeD (i've thanked you on XDA for your help)
This can be marked as [RESOLVED]
Okay here`s the situation.
My GT-P7500 a.k.a p4 is having a problem. Whenever I boot up, it will freeze at the boot animation, and power off if not charging and go to the charging screen if is plugged. I was using SlimBean when I had the problem, flashed AOKP and still the same. Next, when I get to recovery, wiping data takes a looooooooooooong time and never finished (Seriously 3 hours and nothing). Wiping cache`s fine. Tried using TWRP but then I`m stuck on the TWRP Boot screen. I reverted back to CWM but still the same. Is it bricked or something? Is there any solution? I`m hoping for an answer ASAP. Thank you...

had the same issue on my p4wifi...it is a corrupted file.
1) you can odin a rom..this will wipe the data completely
or
2) try to flash the last rom you were successfully on..then wipe the sdcardthis will wipe the data completelyand cache..dalvik. Then try to boot it up.
If second option doesnt work( because of the dirty flash ). Then i would either use odin or push a rom to the device and do a clean install.
Just had a brain storm..you could use twrp file manager to delete files you dont need. Might get lucky and its something you downloaded recently. ( wasnt a twrp recovery when this happened to me )

Hi Gil,
TWRP freezes on its boot screen. I`ll try flashing rom from odin. I`ll get back to you when I`m done. Thanks!

So you cant use twrp's internal file manager...or are you saying you did and that process didnt work. Just wondering..the odin should definitely work. Just sucks to loose all your files..
but as I said... Ive been there too..:silly:

I went around Google searching for p4 ROMs that are in ODIN format. Sadly, nothing found. Where did you get the ROM for your p4wifi?

The question is only one part of the answer grasshopper...How you ask( google ) it, is the rest..Lmao
Here's a Link to sammobile. Just scroll down and pjt in your device in the search box on the right and pich the right firmware. You will need to make a free account with them to download.

Okay, installed stock ROM but now I`m in a bootloop. This time no forced reboot or something, just bootloop.

Just for future reference..when you install a stock rom, like those from sammobile. It is usually needed to wipe data factory reset to get it to boot.
Sorry i didnt get back to you sooner..work is crazy, Lol
Glad you have it up...if you need any other help. Just post in my Q&A thread..I try to check it often.
