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?

baseband 1.0.14, build R1FA014, flashtool 0.2.8.0
Installed xrecovery using flashtool and I even gave the command to boot recovery from flashtool but it won't. It boots normaly
I've flashed: X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897; X10a_1.0_2_1_A_0_435; X10i_2.0.A.0.504_Generic; nordic flasher for R2BA026, and I think I tried some other, but I don't remember.
this may sound silly...but are you constantly tapping the "back" button when the sony ericsson logo pops up

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

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

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

Reinstall from flashtool again
Update : reinstalled xrecovery .03 files manually= WORKED!!
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.
Im having trouble getting busybox to install properly.
I have rooted my phone but when i DL busybox from the market and open it it gives me a blank pop up with an OK button, then it just says Looking for BusyBox. When I hit install, i get a FC. What am i doing wrong>?

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

Easy, search for the file on this forum (cwmr3 for xrecovery.zip) and install the zip file after rebooting into xrecovery. Have you got xrecovery working now?

the thing is that I got the rom froyobread.v023c installed. And none of xrec or cwm works in that version works, so i dont know what to do..
and i cant get the phone into flash mode(dont know if its my microusb contact that is the problem), so I dont know what to do!
Should i try copy those 3 files in the xrecovery post to system/bin or what? Which files are the dualrecovery files?

I must admit am i not an expert, but why don't you just go back to default Rom via SEUS and then follow the steps to install xrecovery via AAIS+CWM? I am certain this will work.
Use mini rom manager no need to be in xrec to install just dl and find it (cwm) install

Yes of course i would have done that if I could get into flash mode.. and I will test if that works on a friends computer tomorow ( my computer is crap! )
But I just think, what if that doesn't work.. what to do then? Do it work to change the files in system/lib so i can come in to xrec, and then flash another rom?

Hey everybody,
I think I crashed my Phone. It reboots everytime I want to start it.
It starts till the SE logo.
That happend after I copied tun.ko files into system folder, installed busybox and cisco any connect.
So I tried to enter system folder via adb to get it fixed. But it failed.
So my question.
Is there any possibility to fix my phone without loosing user and app data or to copy the rom?

Try reflashhing ROM with recovery..do not clear dalvik or reset factory reset options in recovery..
Gintonic.SE + zombie-pack kernel by slade ..
And how do I get into recovery?
if you have the recovery instaled press the back button and release several times once you see the sony ericson logo.
if you dint install the recovery i'm sorry but i dont know what you can do. hope some one can help then
Simple and short.
No.
Oh, that doesn´t sound good.
I have a general question. What is a Trim Area?
Try updating your firmware with se PC companion and rooting you phone again ...

use X10 flash tool to flash your ROM to a stock one, then use flash tool to root and install xrecovery
download a stock kernel for now (its in .ftf format)
But then I will loose my data, right?
Yes in any update you will loose your data unless you have backed up your data.......

OK, just use pccpmpanion to update your phone to 2.3
Then use flashtool to root.
Then use flashtool to install xrecovery
Use flashtool to flash v05a-fs doomkernal
Use xrecovery to flash ulbldoom v7beta 4 of wolfs rom
Use xrecovery to flash v05a-fs wifi modules
reboot phone and see if camera works.
When i try to repair my phone, the progress is stop and window prompt the update of software failed...

Dont use flashtool....use pccompanion.
Just google it, download and install.
open it, connect phone, click on start in support zone, click on update.
If it says your phone is uptodate there is an option to install anyway (This repairs your phone to stock 2.3)
Once you are back on stock 2.3. send me a pm and i will tell you what to do next
