Hi Peeps,
I'm having problems getting xRecovery installed on my phone so that I can use custom ROMs. So far the tutorials I've used on XDA have been unsuccessful in installing xRecovery.
Does anyone have a more simplified/reliable tutorial that I can follow. Thanks in advance!

its not important if .24 or .06 (;
1. just Activate Debugging in Settings and
2. make sure that u have "Sony Ericsson PC Companion" installed for Debugging drivers.. otherwise SuperOneClick doesnt work
If u Follow these Steps it will work 100%
greez
PS: pls reply if it works..

Okay im asking this question for a friend.
He currently has an 1.6 X10 (stock) which i have managed to root.
However the USB port is broken ( a common problem ) so we can't use flash tool or anything requiring USB.
So now we are rooted on 1.6 can we get Xrecovery or some form of recovery on to the the phone ? we have got busy box installed and have tryed to run the newest Xrecovery.apk from this site but its fails at parsing the file.
Any help on this would be great as he would like to get 2.1 on his phone so he can then continue to use official updates ( he doe snot care that he will loose root if he does this )
Regards,
I have the exact same problem. Tried every way of installing xrecovery, still no luck.
Anyone help please?
You can try adb over wifi if u r android version have it see in developers option if there then I can root by adb commands over wifi

hi there, i was wondering if anyone could help me. i have a mac and my x10 mini is bricked. my question is does anybody know of a way of factory resetting the phone on a mac. as it is bricked, i can't boot into xrecovery to restore a backup i have made.
Install SEUS! Download it from sony ericsson's website, its called update service! I'm sure its available for mac too!
no, seus is not aviable for mac/linux. the only way to update is via windows. if you wanna do it on your mac you need to install oracle virtualbox (vmware is NOT working), then install an an virtual windows (xp is enough mabye you find via torrent) and then install seus in this virtual windows. i know this is a lot of work but the only way (thanks to se ). for me takes 4 hours just to update my damn phone..
i'm a noob on xda, so i can't post links but search in google for "x10 mini update linux munz.li". if you have a mac you just need to look at the part with the usb-filters..
good luck..
Ok thanks anyway I used my mates pc.
Whilst im here, does anybody know how to map the buttons in a custom rom? I am trying to port the rom of the sony ericsson w8. The main thing that doesn't work is the buttons :-(

Hi everyone
I really need your help guys, I'm desperate!! I wanted to upadate my x10 mini to froyobread following all the instructions.
1. I rooted the phone with SuperOneClick
2. I flashed it using FlashTool, and here is the problem: I used a different firmware (e15i_2.1.1.a.0.6_Nordic) <--- That's the firmware for Xperia X8. The flashing was succesful, but when it finished, the phone started rebooting over and over with only a blackscreen (no SE logo).
I've tried many ways to restore the phone, such as:
1- FlashTool with a firmware for x10 mini (The problem is I need to check "USB Debugging" inside the O.S., so I couldn't repair it this way.
2- I tried PC Companion and SEUS but when I follow the program steps it says "Your phone is up to date so no needs bla bla bla..."
I don't know what else to do... I'm frustrated and really hope you can help me guys.
Thank'u
SOLVED:
Finally I fixed the problem flashing with x10flash and 1.6 android firmware (it's called "E10i_1.6 1.2.A.1.174 406.7z"). (x10flash isn't the same as Flashtool, so if you wanna recover to life your phone, you must use x10flash)
I put the rar files of the firmware 1.6 inside the "firmware" folder from "X10Flash-2.1" and then I flashed with the X10flash.bat file.
After that, when te x10flash.bat was opened, I select number "2" and then "N". Next, you have to select your operative system. (win xp, vista, 7, etc)
Finally, you can install the rom or baseband whatever you want.
(I can't put the links 'cos I'm a new member, but you can google them)
- E10i_1.6 1.2.A.1.174 406.7z
- x10Flash
I hope this helps.
Do you still have that files? I am unable to download that files . I have googled them but links have expired.
Thanks.
Sorry about this being in the wrong section but it won't let me make a thread in the development thread, basically trying to unlock my bootloader, i've looked online for a few hours now, i follow instructions on unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com but when i look for the drivers it doesn't find them. step 13 says:
"On your computer, you will be asked for drivers. Point to the usb_driver folder where you placed the android_winusb.inf-file, and select the Android Boot loader Interface-file." the android boot loader interface-file doesnt exist, i'm slowly losing the will to live. someone please help i want custom roms :'(
Hi , the metod of Sony Ericsson are so much slow , in the metod of s1tool in 30 seg
The method on Sony's site (same as on CyanogenMod's site) didn't work for my unbranded Mini Pro (SK17).
Neither did the testpoint (DRM-preserving) method - until I tried using a different USB port. It is indeed fast, when it works.
you need to install fastboot drivers . search fastboot_with_android_usb_file.rar on google, there will you get that file on mediafire.com, extract it. it contains driver. when asked for drivers, manually install drivers by pointing to extracted folder
Hey yeh its all done now and running nerodroid, thats exactly what I did and thanks for the help

Can someone help me? I was trying to root my Sola with 6.1.1.B.1.54 following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029756 but after flashing the .10 kernel I can't root the phone using bin4ry process. When I connect the phone (with usb debug on) the windows says: *daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037* *daemon started successfully* and.. it stops. What should I do?
Do you have the proper Drivers installed ? Best set of drivers is found in the drivers/ directory of Flashtool Install them (including the ones flashtool and fastboot for your device) then try it again
Let us know how that works
Cheers
Hey thanks! You were right! I just needed to install the proper drivers, now my phone is rooted
Great to know Cheers Mate
