Download SuperOneClick from this forum
Connect you devise to PC via USB cable
Run the program and select RootShell - this option gived to tou root in your session then use adb to remount yor /system path and copy build.prpop to device.

thanks for your answer, but the problem is that superoneclick say "waiting for device" because i can not see menu in my phone for activate usb debugging

i need Enable USB Debugging Mode via pc or via wifi, not via phone

ouch... its bad NEWS....
i think you can only reflashing you device!
Or you can tryed restore your /system from SEUS
This is dont wipe your data i think !

thanks for your help, i reflashed with flashtool but not work, i try too SEUS but not work.

when you flashed you device with flashtool - you seleat all rom components or custom?
I think you need flashing full rom !
Or if this dont help, flashing a rooted firmware and try to connect with adb !

Alternative flashing

Hey Guys!!
Ok, so I;ve been googling and searching for hours and hours and I'm still unsure as of what to do.
I have already updated an X10mini e10a successfully using xrecovery and flashing with binary's flashtool.
My oproblem is with another phone, same model same country etc.
I cannot update the firmware etc and baseband here using seus, so I tried to flash using flashtool. Device is rooted and had xrecovery installed.
THen it went wrong. I tried to update the baseband with flashtool and I had forgotten that I had not reinstalled xrecovery on the new generic rom.
I aslo managed to select the wrong update for flashing and now the boot is stuck in the famous bootloop. It actually arrives at the lock screen, but then crashes after 20 seconds.
The problem is that I can;t boot into recovery mode. Flashtool allows me to gain root access and even push apk files to the device before it reboots again.
I tried to install xrecovery from the menu using flashtool but it says restarting device in recovery but does not.
SEUS does not help me at all, it says there are no new up0dates, and when I try to recover, I get an error after the download has finsihed.
If I try to flash a generic firmware (the original one that i had already successfully installed before the screwup), flashtool tells me that I need to go into the device and enable usb debugging, which of course I cannot.
Is there a way I can do this in adb? How would this be performed? Would i just push a zip or are there a whole list of commands to do. I can;t seem to find a guide in the forums that applies to me.
Thanks guys!!
Get seus to the point where it sais turn off and hold back button while connecting the USB cable.
Then instead of turning it off, just press home+power button at the same time to reboot the device then release and try to get it right with the back button and pushing in the usb cable. Easy!
Might have to give it a few tries, I made it on my second try the first time I needed to do it
It's not a problem of getting the phone into service/flash mode, I have been doing it this way with no problem. SEUS just says I have the most up to date software, and pc suite gives an error when trying to repair.
I woul update with flashtool, but it tells me to turn on usb debugging which i obviously can't do.
Thanks for the help though, I only found out about the 3finger reboot earlier today. Had been removing the battery cable!!
I got that, but with SEUS i just press install anyways so I donĀ“t get it really.. try removing cache on the SEUS program, maybe that helps
Done that too no joy either.
Im now completely out of ideas
did you try to install xrecovery from ADB Mask Controller?i dont know if its possible without usb debugging but give it a try or try to push files manualy if you can

I haven't tried that, I did a backup of the vanilla os before i flashed the rom so if it works I should be able to revert to vanilla again.
How would I go about doing this?
take a look here, is the app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868423
try to see if you can connect on your phone
I tried thap program, looks like I could have a lot of fun with it on my working x10mini!!!
It does not connect to my other mini. Flash mode gives no device connected, and when it starts to load, I can connect but only until the device restarts itself, I cannot push apks either as there is not enough time, or they just fail, and although I can install busybox, it always tells me it is not installed, nor is root. I think this might be because the superuser apk must be asking me a question, but as the lock screen crashes on boot, I am unable to access it to allow access.
Driving me crazy.
I think my last hope is to flash with adb, but i have no idea to do that.
Is there a way to install xrecovery e10a by adb? How would I do this?
If this works I can just restore my old image and start from the beginning again
Would I use sin files, or would I use

[Q] Damaged Micro USB - How to flash stock firmware via recovery?

Hello forum members,
The micro USB port on my Galaxy S2 seems to be damaged. The computer doesn't detect the internal storage on it and I also don't even get the "Usb Connected" anymore in the drop down menu of Android 2.3.4 KH3. I am able to charge the phone though.
I am currently running Litening ROM KH3 and i need to install a stock ROM before i can give this phone to the service centre for repair/replacement of female micro usb port as this is still under the warranty.
Is there any way for me to flash stock firmware via recovery. I suppose i would need a zip file for that. Isn't there a way to convert those stock firmwares into ZIP format?
PLEASE HELP!!
You can try with Virtual Data Cable in the Market
Thanks but this won't work when the phone goes into download mode.
Anyone please. I would really appreciate the help here!!

Maybe it's the USB connector? I had the same problem as you where it could only charge and trying to access storage would freeze explorer

The problem is that neither my laptop detects the USB connection (it starts charging the device though) nor my phone's drop down menu shows the "USB Connected" notification .. So i guess the USB Connector is damaged ..
Any help guys? Please?
try adb wireless (widget edition)
you can connect via adb with the command: adb connect YOURPHONEIP:5555
and then push the zip to flash on the sdcard via the command: adb push ZIPFILE /sdcard/
after that, if you have already CWM type: adb boot recovery
and flash the FW via CWM

Thanks mate.. ill try this solution over the weekend. I hope it works.
Did you get this right?
My USB port just melted, and I am rooted and on Darky ROM. I'l like to send it back for warranty. HOWEVER< it seems like a hardware fault, so I thought the root/non-root wouldn't make any difference?

Why don't you flash stock ICS firmware in flashmode(via flashtool)??
Have you tried flashing stock rom with flashtool?
You can also try (re)mounting sdcard in cwm recovery or with adb.
In cwm it's located in mounts and storage --> mount sdcard.
When you connect your phone to pc, do you see that "usb debugging enabled" notification?
If not you have to enable it from developer options. And when you try to do something with adb, does it give any error message, such as "device offline", "device not found" or "waiting for device"?

your problem is that ur drivers are crashed because of some weird reason..
Download usb deview at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html#DownloadLinks
unplug your phone..
now unzip the app and run it..
in the vendor id tab search for drivers having id as - "0fce"
Select ALL of them and uninstall them by right click --> uninstall selected.
remove sony pc companion.
restart your pc..
download latest adb and fastboot drivers here : http://rubenalamina.mx/download/525/
simply run the installer..
default install directory is C:\ADB
now turn off usb debugging and then connect your phone.
let it install mtp drivers.
now download flashtool https://unrestrict.li/flashtool
install the flashtool.
(optional but still recommended) disable antivirus and firewall of pc
go to install directory of flashtool and locate folder "drivers"
open it and run the installer.. you will see a window asking which driver to install check the following items:
-xperia p, u, sola, go, drivers,
-fastboot
-flashtool
when its done unplug turn on usb debugging and go to installed directory of adb, press and hold shift key and then right click anywhere in that folder..
select open command prompt and pass this command:
adb devices
you should see at least one device connected.
if yes you are succeeded and fastboot will work too.

bro i cant find those sony adb in device manager im using windows 7. i have installed everything but in uninstall and remove tab i cant see sony adb
This may sound silly but two things,
have you tried a different usb port
and is the sdcard mounted in cwm.
I have to make sure the sdcard is mounted before i can connect mine.
Do a hard reset hold power and up till the phone vibrates 3 times then try to connect to flashtool by holding power and volume down.

[Q] Bricked my HTC One X+

Oh, trust me that's not your phone being bricked. You guys seriously need to know the correct vocabulary.
Bricking the phone: The phone's only use is to use it as a literal brick. It does not turn on, does not recover, does not charge, does not do anything and it can never be restored.
HOX+ can NOT be bricked unless you are S-Off'ed. Now that we got that out of the way,
you seem to understand that ADB is the solution here, that you need to sideload a rom, the question that you have is the adb does not recognize your phone, so follow these steps:
-Connect the phone using a different usb port, (basically thats the easiest thing), if its 2.0 then try 3.0 and vice versa.
-Restart your computer
-Restart your phone
-If you are on windows Vista and later, open start menu search for "cmd" then right click and run it as administrator, then you need to cd to your adb directory.
Code:
cd C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools
for example. then try adb devices.
Anyway hope you get it to work and have fun

The only thing I can do is use fastboot , thx for noticing that I know I need adb sideload If I look in devices on my PC I can see 'ONE' with a yellow triangle next to it ( so this means drivers) I downloaded my HTC drivers and I right clicked on the device and then update from PC , I go to the folder where I installed it and click on search and it says it can't find a driver for this device.
I also tried 4 different USB ports both 2.0 or 3.0 , no result. I also tried to install TWRP instead of cmw but on TWRP my touchscreen doesn't work while on cmw it does. So i went back and flashed my recovery to cmw again ( I tried version 2.6 - 2.7.0.1 , no result )
So my problem right now can be solved once my device can be recognized by my PC. (Have HTC maneger installed , also downloaded drivers formy phone , got fastboot and adb on my PC )
For anyone who knows thanks

Hmmm. I would say in the device manager right click on the one and uninstall. Then in fastboot mode unplug and replug the device, let it install fastboot again and then try if adb can read it now.

This has happened to my phone twice... fixed it the first time by using USB deview to remove all Android/HTC drivers, then reinstalled them with the HTC Sync installer. Couldn't get that to fix it last time though, so I tried another computer and it worked just fine. So my advice would be to find another computer and try it.
