Infinite Rebooting on X10i (Beta 4) - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

if you did, pull the battery out, wait for few minutes, star again and go back to xRecovery and restore.

problem flashing rom

why can't i flash rom's no more.
When i flash a new rom(froyo, toxic) i get :
formating update
formating system
formating data
deleting files
copying files
and then instalation complete en then it reboots and this is whithin a minute. And ofcourse the rom do not work correctly so i have to odin back to stock. I wipe and reset to factory, tryed other roms( zen, biwinning) same thing happens. Olso my nandroid backups will not work, they all hang at bali kernel screen(palmtree). So now i am stuck with stock waiting for a solution. thanks
After you ODIN to JFD... can you explain what steps you are taking?
The more detail, the better.
after i odin back to stock, i root the phone, install rom manager, flash clockworkmod recovery. If i do a nandroid restore i get samsung screen followed by bali screen with a female robot voice saying something about paritioning 2 min and counting then it hangs. I also do a wipe before the restore. If i flash a rom in rom manager or in recovery mode i only get wat i mention above, i do not get a loading bar. Thank you for the reply
Don't restore, your nandroid has voodoo enabled, likely causing issues.
Try this:
Odin to jfd (assuming you have no issues, if you do, try my )
download my option b update.zip (from noob guide) - this allows you to avoid ROM Manager/cwr.
Download a good ROM, I would suggest miui revamped or birgertime's cm7 build (my preference)
Download Bali for cm7/miui
Move all 3 to internal sd
Hold in both volumes + power (can be done with phone on after going to jfd and moving files to phone)
Release at vibrant screen
This is stock 2e recovery, reinstall packages (2x maybe)
Should be in cwr now
Flash ROM
Flash Bali
Reboot phone (don't do anything else)
After it boots, wait 10, reboot
Restore ONLY non-system apps, reboot
Enjoy bad ass phone.
Let me know...
Ok I will try this tomorrow, I will let know, thanks again.
For the roms you mention I do not need bootlaoders right.
Correct. That's about the most dangerous thing you can do also.
I flashed ss-6 miui. So far everything works, calling, sms/mms, even gps and wow this is a really nice rom. I am really happy now, stock is so boring and slow. But leaves me wondering why i could not flash froyo roms. Thanks and greetings from a happy island(aruba) i got a lot of custumizing to do so cheers
Glad you are up and running with my guide. You could repeat those steps with froyo roms, no problem

[Q] Missing a step in flashing a custom rom on SE X10i

I own a SE Xperia X10i since it got released. Current versions of software in my phone are:
Model: X10i
Android: 2.3.3
Baseband: 2.1.71
Kernel: 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 / [email protected] #1
Build: 3.0.1.G.0.7.5
Files and programs I have and use:
- Flashtool 2.9.1
- ulBlDoom.zip (for unlocked bootloader, obtained via forumthread of ROM named above)
- x10_gb_DooMKernel-v06-FS_wifi.zip (for unlocked bootloader)
- Speed&Hotfix004.zip
I wanted to flash a the Wolfs TW Gingerbread V7b6 custom ROM, but I had troubles getting the WiFi module to work. Here is what I did:
00) Copied all relevant zipfiles on the sdcard of my phone
01) Used Flashtool 2.9.1 to downgrade kernel with aZuZu loader.sin (supplied with flashtool)
02) Root (using flashtool Root button)
03) Used Flashtool 2.9.1 to upgrade kernel with aZuZu loader.sin (supplied with flashtool)
04) Used flashtool to install xRec
05) Rebooted phone to update Superuser and Busybox to latest version available on market
06) Rebooted in xRec and made a backup of the current rom
07) xRec: Factory Reset (full wipe), wipe Cache, wipe Dalvik as said in Wolfs TW GB thread
08) xRec: Install custom zip (ulBlDoom.zip)
09) xRec: Install custom zip (x10_gb_DooMKernel-v06-FS_wifi.zip)
10) xRec: Install custom zip (Speed&Hotfix004.zip)
10) Reboot phone
At this point the phone reboots and starts loading the new custom ROM. It fully starts and I can see that it actually is the new ROM. All functions seem to work (didn't test much though), except WiFi. Whenever I try to enable wifi from the menu it says "fault", right after pushing the softbutton.
I read all kinds of threads here on the forum, but I am too inexperienced to figure out what is wrong. All the information I find overwhelmes me and confuses me more and more.
Anyone here who can tell me what I missed or did wrong?
First of all man, there is flashtool ver. 7 and u using 2.9? Now u just click root and this is the end.
U should do it again, it will help for sure.
So repair phone in pc companion, reboot, check usb debbuging in settings, turn on newest flashtool, plug in turned on phone to pc, click root (wait a while, phone restarts) do not unplug, click instal xrecovery and this is first part.
If battery is low charge to 100%, copy all files to sd card, reboot in xrecovery, install rom and reboot, i think its better to reboot any time u flash sometnig, not all together. So reboot do not do anything skip everything wait a 5 min and reboot in xrec again then install wifi fix and reboot, not so sure about this Speed&Hotfix004.zip i cant remember Ive installed them, but for now try just rom and wifi fix and let me know will it work for u

Flashtool version 8 even! Don't know how i got to 2.9. Perhaps found it somewhere in the Demonlord kernel thread. The full folder name is "FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec".
I am going to try what you said, do the rooting and unlocking part, and then install the ROM.
On the previous attempts the rooting etc. went fine though. Got exactly the same results as suggested by the various how-to's explaining the procedure.

Phone stuck at boot logo with various cm9 roms

Hello.
After running for months cm7 old baseband with no prob, today i decided to try cm9.
So i grabbed my copy of Arjen cm9, latest nightly, gapps, installed it. Then upgraded to new baseband 20G using LGMDP.
The phone booted, all fine, but there was no network. So i tryed reinstalling the new baseband, same story. The third time i reinstalled the new baseband, phone booted with stock lg gingerbread. So i reinstalled arjen cm9, but phone remained stuck at boot animation at the firts rebooot before installing google aps.
Then i decided to restart the process once again and redoing root, recovery etc. These are the step i took:
1) used KDV to reinstall lg stock ginger with 20G baseband.
2)rooted from gingerbread, installed rom manager, installed CWM.
3) reboot in CWM, wiped all, formatted with ext size 256mb and swap size 64mb.
4) copied rom and gapps, wiped everything another time.
5) installed arjen cm9, re booted, again stuck at boot animation.
6) re formatted, re wiped, tryed another rom ([2012.6.5] MIUI PORT by DHK).
7)rebooted, again stuck at boot animation.
No matter how many time i reboot or how many CM9 version i try, after the new baseband upgrade only the lg stock gingerbread seems to boot without remain stuck at boot animation.
Please help me with this new baseband/ cm9 thing, because i seem the only one that doesn't get it!
EDIT: now after 30 min stuck at miui boot animation, i rebooted the phone and this time it started the cm9 logo, then an icon of battery charging appeared in at the center of the screen and then phone dead! What the hell is happening guys? This is driving me mad, lost the the entire morning and until now trying to get this working.

XPERIA P: Can't get past the SONY logo

Hi, few month ago, I have unlocked the bootloader, rooted my phone, and installed CWM and CM 11.
It was quite buggy, and OTA updates didn't work, and I needed something more stable.
Yesterday, I wanted to reboot into recovery, and try flashing SlimKat or a newer CM if I don't like the Slimkat.
The combination of keys for Recovery didn't work and there wasn't any reasonable way to get around it.
On adb, the phone got detected, but offline, so I wasn't able to reboot into recovery this way.
Fast forward couple of hours, I have tried flashing about everything, but didn't manage anything besides being able to pass adb commands.
Now,
- when I turn on the phone the phone hangs on the Sony logo and I have to force turn it off
- I get the phone on ADB even when it keeps hanging on the Sony logo
- I can get into Fastboot by holding the up button on conneting to computer
- I have flashed the boot.img from CM11 for XPeria P to bring CWM back, but didn't happen, or did happen, but I can't get into recovery
- "adb reboot recovery" brings me to the same old hanging SONY logo.
- pushing whatever on boot doesn't help > SONY logo
Please help!
Why not just flash stock with flashtool?
[SOLVED] Partially...
I have downloaded FTF file for the device, and manage to flash it using Flashtool (worked only if I flashed incl. Kernel) and got the device up and running. I tried reflashing CM and Slim again, but none worked as I still wasn't able to get into recovery, so I reflashed once more. Finally, the device is working - with the stock firmware, at least...

This is a solution. When you flashing CM you need to flash CM kernel too. In some cases kernel needs to be flashed several times(for example before flashing CM and after flashing it).
Sorry for my bad English.
Thanks a lot for explanation. I'm happy to have the stock now, and will probably stick with it for the time being.
