Have you tried installing busybox from Flashtool?
Try rebooting your phone and then try running the busybox installer.
no luck
Try installing Titanium Backup from Market and then install busybox from there
Use flashtool to install busybox.
still no luck
When using flashtool to root and flash busybox, make sure your phone is in debugging mode.
OK I was able to get it to work but now i have another problem. After getting busybox and xrecovery installed, i rebooted and went into Xrecovery and started to install a custom ROM BUT my battery fell out in the middle of the process (stupid me) so now i've just got a screen stuck at Sony Ericsson. What can I do to get the OS back on?????
U must use flashtool again to fix. Then redo root and busybox cuz flashtool wipes everything
Of that doesnt work. Use seus

You can use Flashtool to flash the 2.1 SE stock ROM.
or
You can use SEUS to reinstall the 2.1 SE
or
If you made a backup of your ROM in xRecovery, you can restore it.
OK when i tried to go thru SEUS it said that i had the most up to date software and gave no option for a repair/reinstall. I uninstalled SEUS and am reinstalling it now
OK I still get the same message when trying to use SEUS. What can i do differently? Plz help i want my phone back

Good to know that ... Have your phone rooted and install busybox from there as well

I have found *similar* threads but not exactly this : Prior to updating to .435 through SEUS, I was able to use Xrecovery 0.2 to backup my system image. I just tried to backup a new updated image, and I cannot access xrecovery. I know the procedure is to hit the back button repeatedly at the white SE logo, and that worked prior to the update, but now it just continues to boot up the phone into normal mode. I tried to reinstall xrecovery with the Xrecovery APK already i the app drawer, but no dice. The backup files I already created are still in /sd/xrecovery/backup. I saw them through root explorer. If this question has already been asked, I am sorry. I did do a search
I am rooted with SuperoneClick. Titanium Backup, Busybox & Superuser all verified working.
Thanks all!
Try the newest xrecovery.

I tried installing 0.3, got the msg "install failed". Think I need to delete v 0.2? I was afraid to do that as I assumed it would take my old backup (pre-.435) with it.
Thanks for the reply.
same here, root explorer is set on RW, titanium is working, busybox installed, but i get the red signs when i try to install xrecovery 0.3
+1
At last I managed to install xrecovery v3 manually instead of automatically. I hope this help.

I flashed custom ROM to get 2.1.A.0.435 update and xRecovery is installed(.3) so I recommend that.
I tried both the manual file copy way and the auto install from the APK. identical result from both.. no xrecovery on reboot. I did get a suggestion to try to actually flash xrecovery using the new flashtool .026, which includes an option to install busybox/xrecovery. I will try that as soon as soon my phone charges back up and post the result.
Thanks everyone!
use THIS tool.
if any doubt/questions HERE
I used the newest flashtool, it said xrecovery installed, but I can never get into xrecovery menu

Thanks for all the help, tips & advice!!! Got it going. Manual file copy works w build .435! Just need to copy the files from Android/data/ directory on your SD card into system/bin with root explorer on your phone . I had tried repeatedly copying the 3 files from the /res/raw folder from my pc to the phone but it never worked.
Thanks again all.

Alright, I'll try helping out.
1st. xRecovery
Install xRecovery then do a full wipe of your phone... Dont forget to backup just in case.
2nd. FlashTool
Use FlashTool Through your computer and flash the official firmware.
3rd. Master reset.
FlashTool 0.2.6 - "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746"
Decrypted Official ROMs - "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793"
xRecovery - "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571"
See if any of these methods work...
result :
my phone root is broken so it says successfully instaled xrecovery via the flashtool but i cant boot onto xrecovery it just do a normal startup

Use PC Companion to repair your phone, then root, install busybox & xrecovery via flashtool.

that and If u want, do a manual installtion of xRecovery. lemme hit this up:
1st. make sure buzybox is installed, just in case, dl the installer from the market and run it.
2nd. dl xRecovery 0.3 and extract it. (preferebly on computer)
3rd. go into /res/raw/ and you'll find 3 files, copy and paste it into /system/bin/
then xRecovery should be back.
(i kinda do this often cause the auto install of xRecovery usually fails on my phone)
I want to know if there is any other way to flash a cusom ROM, like Froyo or Gingerbread without using xRecovery, because I can't boot into recovery.
Tried to install xRecovery using the app, but it doesn't let me install it. Tried the manual way, I've put the 3 files in System/Bin and it still does not boot into recovery.
I have a 1.6 firmware and I can't install official 2.1 because it gives me an error when I try to install it via PC Companion and when I try to flash a firmware using FlashTool, my phone won't boot. The only firmware I can flash is from ROOT_F3V3 so that my phone can boot.
I have no Repair button in SEUS, it just sais that there is no software update for my phone and the only choice I have is Finish. This happens for no matter what firmware I install.
Can you help me please?

Everything installed, I have read all the important posts regarding the usage of xRecovery. That is why I'm asking for another way to flash custom ROM's, because I tried everything from the forum posts, everything that would normaly work, and I get zero results
You don't have to put those 3 files in system/bin.Just find system/bin with your Root Explore,check on all 9 permissions of this folder and then go to the XR app and install it.If you still can't boot into XR after installation,maybe you should try Xrecovery 0.0.1.version.It always works for those people who can't boot into XR just like you.Good luck.Sorry for my bad English.
Hmmm...sorry i couldnt be more help...the only thing i could possibly think of is flashing a new basebrand AND firmware at once...hopefully you get this issue resolved later. Best of luck

hey guys,
I really need your Help!
I've flashed Trips Froyo Miui 1.7 ROM.. so far so good everyting worked great. Then I wanted to flash Z's zKernel but it didn't work, so I tried FreeKernel mod 3.60, but it also didn't work.
When I wanted to reboot phone after flashing FreeKernel it didn't boot up custom Kernel and after booting up the sytem I recogniced that I don't get a signal and sd- card doesn't mount. So I rebooted phone and hoped that everyting would work, but it didn't. So I turned off phone and wanted to restore a working rom via xrecovery, but I sadly had to notice that I can't boot into recovery anymore.
So when I boot up phone it always shows "Prozess system doesn't react" or something like that.
I really don't know what I can do now, so please help me!

If you can, plug in your phone in with flashtool open, if it reads the phone (tells u that busybox is found) then hit ask root perms and then install recovery.
I have already tried that, but it didn't find my phone..

2 options i guess:
1. reinstall stock rom from flashtool or
2. reinstall stock rom from SEUS/PCC
OK I'll try that and I really hope it works.
Flashing stock rom via flashtool worked.
Thanks for your help!

Please answer this question, what the heck did you downgrade, I hope you just downgraded the kernal.
What method of rooting did you use?
But first, what is your phone's:
firmware: 2.1 or 2.3
baseband
do you have xrecovery
If you would like help, I and others are willing to help you. Just post again and I will post links of the rooting method and guides to flashtool.
It happened to me... I was trying to install Jerpelea's latest 2.3.5, and suddenly my phone keeps rebooting from SE logo.. I can go into xrecovery, but when I try to recover a backup, it says it can't mount the sdcard...
What can i do?
Is my phone ruined??
Tks..
Have you installed latest SE adb driver?
Unplug your battery about 3 minutes then plug it again, use flashtool to flash 2.1 firmware, then connect it and press back button till green light appear, let it alone till finished.
Root your 2.1 fw, install recovery, and simply flash wolf 2.3 ROM, unplug your battery, plug it again and flash baseband 71.
Now your phone should be boot properly.
You almost cant break your X10 by flashing anything, cause bootloader is locked.

You cant ruin it mate.
Just install your recovery again, try with apk.
I think you have old recovery, cause this problem appear when gb just released, and now fixed.
You can find topic about it on X10 android development forums, Z already fixed it.

Ok, but the problem is: I can't start the phone, and the sdcard doesn't mount properly so I can recover a backup....
How can I install de recovery again without starting the phone?
You're right, I had the old recovery installed...
EDIT: And now I cant even go into recovery... It's fully stuck on SE logo... Damn!
Turn phone off. Boot pc companion. Goto update service. Click update. Says no phone found. Click repair option. Follow steps on screen. It will flash latest SE firmware. Root. Install recovery. Restore your backup on your now mountable sd card. Done you can't break this phone, can always restore through pc companion.

Flash stock firmware from flashtool, if you dont know about how to use flashtool.
Just go to x10 android development forum, find thread about flashtool by androxyde.
Dont be so worry about your phone, you cant break it with flashing ROM or kernel.
