[Q] Can't install busybox (and as a result xrecovery) - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

I have a X10 Mini Pro with fw 2.1-1 on which I can't seem to install Busybox, and as a result xrecovery and custom ROMs. It rooted fine with SuperOneClick.
I downloaded Titanium Backup (free version) and installed Busybox 1.16.0 from there (which is confirmed by Titanium) but according to some sources this Busybox version is only for use with Titanium Backup. This would be confirmed by Root Check which says the device is rooted but does not have Busybox. Next I tried the Busybox Installer from the Market but all versions fail with a generic fail to install error message. Finally I tried this thread which suggests installing an apk but that failed with a "problem parsing the package" error in Root Explorer.
Have to admit I'm a iOS user which I of course jailbreak until the cows come home, so this phone has me baffled. Rooting, installing xrecovery and custom ROMs on a ZTE Blade was also very strait-forward, but I just can't understand what I'm doing wrong here.
Any ideas are much appreciated!

Hey, the thread you linked is from the mini forum, not the mini pro.
Look in this one and see if it helps with anything.

Thanks for the link, used to install xrecovery but it still doesn't work. I can see the installation happening, the file permissions being changed, and finally getting a "done" and the phone rebooting but pressing the back-key during boot does nothing.
I assume this is still because of the lack of Busybox being installed (Root Check confirms this). It's a prerequisite of xrecovery after all, and the script doesn't install Busybox outside of what Titanium Backup does (which, from what I've read, is not a "true" Busybox).
Therefore - how can I make sure a standalone Busybox is installed?

my suggestion would be to try this one. this installs xrecovery everytime i reflash my phone.
Mikevhl's Script
Works like a charm every time. Just close the superallinoneclick when the window pops up and continue following instructions

Thanks for that. Ran it but Busybox was again not installed, and xrecovery does not run as a result. I'm starting to think this is just plain weird - how can something that works on other phones not work on mine?
Any idea how I reinstall the latest original SE fw? Thinking that I'll do that and run this install right after. Perhaps my messing around has damaged what I have.

Run Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) or repair with pc companion. After fresh flash, run that script for both root and xrecovery, should work flawlessly
Sent from my X10minipro using XDA Premium App

That, unfortunately, does not work. SEUS says there's no software which is fair enough if I'm on the latest fw, but the repair option in Companion says (and I quote): "there is no new software for your phone yet". Absurd, as I want to repair not upgrade.
Any ideas? Or should I just get another iPhone?

The option to repair is really small, but it's there. Try this instead:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...ed/updateservice/xperiax10minipro?cc=gb&lc=en
download that, run it, repair phone, run script.

Thanks, but that links to the SEUS which I have. Running that I got a message saying there were no updates strait away, it was only in Companion that I had the option of repairing even though that also ended up saying there were no updates instead of actually repairing. I'll have another stab at it when I get home tonight though.

i always update using SEUS, of course it tells you that u have the latest fw, but there are still an option to "Install" the fresh fw...just done it this morning

Ah ok, great. I shall try that tonight then.

Or perhaps I shall not. I just can't see where the install option is in SEUS, and I've now gone over it five times. Appreciate a pointer.

Try xRecovery 0.1.1 manual installation.
That is the ONLY one that ever worked for me.

When it tells you have that you have the latest software, in the bottom right corner it should still have a button for "Install", click that and will display a confirmation that you want to clear all data. Select yes and it should begin downloading/installing

I believe that busybox is installed in your x10... No matter what use it for.
Now try this link for your xrecovery and isntall manually.

[Q] Can't root after installing Samsung firmware

After I installed the firmware update, via Odin, i can't seem to re-root my phone. I re-installed the update, renamed the zip, flashed it and no smoke. I'm kind of new with all of this so what do i do to access root at this point?
Also, I re-downloaded the superuser app from the market and it stated that there was a new version available. The app states" an error occurred and su was not updated. A zip(su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary. " I tried to flash this recieved an error message saying that the zip was "(bad)". What do I do?
did not have a problem with ryans one touch lag fix that also takes care of root
I'm having the same problem. Also new to this so I'm sure it's going to be something simple. But it's dricing me crazy. I'm sooo close. Anyone with advice it would be much appreciated.
sorry I forgot to say that I have the Epic 4g

The Superuser app from the market isn't going to give you superuser privileges without the phone being rooted. That's why you are rooting the phone in the first place.
As I've made a habit of experimenting with every ROM known to man I've gotten this down to a routine when it comes to flashing and re-rooting. And a big part of my routine is using TGA_Gunnman's handy One Click ROOT Windows application (also a mac version available in the same thread)...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300
Just use it and follow the instruction. Biggest thing is to make sure the phone has USB Debugging enabled and that the internal and external SD's are NOT MOUNTED. Just click the ROOT ME button, look in the shell window to see that the update.zip has been pushed successfully, use the vol rocker keys to select REINSTALL PACKAGES, and reboot.
It's never failed for me so far, and I've re-rooted dozens of times now.
Best of luck!

[Q] Cannot install xrecovery after rooting phone in order to use custom mods

So I've been reading forum after forum and can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong and decided to do a post.
I have a X10a and recently rooted it with the following guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907
Everything seemed to work fine and now I have the superuser.apk as well as the ADW launcher on my phone.
I've been trying to install xrecovery so that I can load some custom roms onto my phone and have tried both the manual method and using the .apk installer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
I have had no luck doing so.
I can sideload apps fine (so I guess I have superuser permission?) but my phone won't allow me to install xrecovery. Busybox also says my phone is not rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've spend a couple hours every day this week working on this and searching forums and can't seem to come up with a solution. Thanks!
Hey, I had a few problems with getting xrecovery to install as well. Are you 100% sure you rooted ur x10 correctly, given that busybox says its not rooted? I used z4root to root my x10. If you used a different app to root ur X10, try this one instead. It tells you on the front screen whether ur phone is rooted or not. If it isn't rooted, try rooting it with this app. I can't post links unfortunately but you can find it easily with a google search. If not, I'd be more than happy to help you with this outside of the forum on the likes of a messenger program. Just drop me a PM if you're okay to do this.
Please explain what is going on better than I can't install. I can probably help, if I know your situation.

you must be rooted, have busybox and superuser permissons.
Everytime I try to install it using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
which I'm assuming is the latest, I get the error message that I can't install this app on my phone (the same standard error message that you would get by trying to sideload an app before you rooted your phone). Busybox also won't install and says my phone isn't rooted. I've downloaded a few other apps that require root for functionality and I get the same error with all of them.
I do have the superuser .apk on my phone so I'm not sure what the issue is. I've re-flashed the phone three times now to try and root it and every time it seems to work, but the end product is a phone that still won't let me install third party apps.
I have the x10a in the states and don't have access to the official 2.1 update yet so I can't use any of the one click rooting methods out there. I did find this though and might try it tonight (not sure if it will work though, or if I can even utilize it). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
If I need to explain more, I will do my best. Thanks for your help!
same
Hi all,
Same issue here except that busybox is installed.
I've tried to install manually but pressing back while booting doesn't do anything but regular boot.
Help would be appreciated
install busybox from the market
Also, I can't use Z4 or anything similar as I don't have the official 2.1 update. Sony hasn't rolled it out in the states yet and considering that the end of life for the phone with AT&T is fast approaching (March or something now) I'm doubtful that they will.
So I found some other apps that allow you to check for Root Access. According to all the evidence I've collected (inability to sideload, busybox won't install, multiple root checker apps say my phone is NOT rooted) my phone wasn't rooted correctly.
I've gone through the guide to root x10a's with 1.6 3 times though and have the superuser .apk on my phone. Hope this additional information helps
Just to be precise... I've got root (titanium, copy to system works) busybox from market but it always says can't install on that phone. Tried manual installation without success. Tried gscript way but no luck.

I finally managed to install xRecovery and Custom ROM using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Thx rendeiro2005 and all the other
Everything goes fine with "easy way" procedure.
Then installed busybox from market plus installed xRecovery.
To access it press power button and then I use to clic several time back key until I can see the recovery menus.
I think my issue was because the previous root method I used gave me a 1.6 android system and therefore xRecovery installer may not work with it.
Thanks all.
hello rooted android 2.1
Never mind I got it working. Wasn't aware there were better flash tools out there and I found one that worked for me. Thanks to everyone who tried to help
the new Flashtool version 0.2.6 works pretty well
its does the rooting, and can help to install busybox, xrecovery.
Yes Flashtool can provide "all-in-one" tool.
Flash, root, clean junk files, install apk files in just one click, install xRecovery, etc, etc, etc...
DONĀ“T install busybox if you have xrecovery installed!!!
xrecovery
Hi everyone. I am at my wits end. I have followed everything to the letter to install xRecovery and it is not working. I have superuser working my phone is rooted and busybox is installed (root check says it is working) but the first time i tried the three apps in xRecovery were not all ticked. busy box had a cross saying something along the lines of no such directory. I reflashed my phone and went through the whole thing again and now i have red crosses on all three saying permission denied. I have gone into root explorer and everything is R/W however if i acces the three files on sdcard/data/com.zoz etc and go to permissions to turn them all on it says some file systems eg sdcards do not allow permission changes. I dont know if i need to do this but its the last thing i can think of. HELP!!!
I usualy root my phone through flashtool, its just a one click, be sure to enable the bugging and and click root. Make sure if superuser appears on ur phone, that u allow it 2!
Edit: Just read that uve successfully rooted ur phone. Did you try to install recovery through flashtool?
To make sure uve rooted ur phone, enter flashtool (enable debbugging first), click on Ask Root Perms, if ur phone IS rooted it will say so. Click on xRecovery (in flashtool ofcourse), and u will have it installed

Umm.. what?

So I used the guide on Condi's AiO tool to get ICS rooted and everything said it was going fine and root was successful and everything but then I installed it and it was a custom file and everything, it even said "Installing root" and then "Successful" but I am not rooted so what is up with that?
The system update button even still shows up...

Maby you've forgotten to put in your sd card xD. i had the same stupidity re do the steps again, maby that works you could give it a try and if it wont work and you dont want root access anymore just apply the update and wait for the ics update and also wait if devs can root ics, remember you could have a chance that you get a kernel 9 or above with "3.2.1 release 2" and will not be able to gain root anymore.

Nope, I did not... I used SuperUser...
So if i get it right your on 3.2.1.r2 now without root?
If you havn't fixed this already there might be a solution for you try this:
1. Connect your tab.
2. Enable usb debugging.
3. Open device manager
4. Disable SONY TABLET S
5. Start Condi's 2.7 AiO Tool
6. Choose option 1 for root.
7. Press enter so your device will reboot.
8. look in device manager list and wait until SONY TABLET S re-appears
9. If it appears then you must enable it again and wait for the AiO tool to finish.
This might work just give it a try!

Auch, Thats a bummer then its not possible to obtain root acces which you already knew, but that means that the rooting process whas half finished, that it has installed the Super User app but not changed any permissions or values,

Second scenario - you've created custom update, then accidentally flashed 'decrypted_update.zip' - without root etc.

As soon as i realize this, I undo all tweaks, uninstalled it and reboot. But after rebooting, i can't have root access, btw I use supersu. And I can open it, But no root access. I've granted rom manager root access from the beginning but now rom manager say i'm not rooted.
I have tried re-installing supersu but now it said no SU binary installed.
How do i solve it?
And now my phone is having very low free RAM , just about 130 MB, but i usually have around 200~300MB.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
PS: Please do not post any methods which requires pc to work with, as i have connection problem with pc.

[Q] Rooting issue since new patch

Greetings all!
I have been a long time user, first time poster, but have rooted my phone many times with success, however after a mini update today, the rootkit I used last time kind of worked, however most of the root functionality no longer works. I assume im just using an out of date rootkit.
Model: GT-i9300
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband: i9300BVELK1
Build: JZO54K.i9300XXELLA
The device does say modified but the apps still function as if it isn't rooted.
I am on Orange France Telecom living in France, using the handset from Orange. Which software download do I need to get the root working correctly please? I have checked alot of the guides but all point to what I assume is an out of date rootkit.
Thank you for your response in advance.
You can try updating the binaries from within the app.
And please don't ask questions in General

Also the version of the root software was Odin 1.64 I think (working from memory as not at home right now).

Download the zip from post 3 extract the MD5 file and flash via odin 1.85 is ok
Ok...
The problem being is that the root hasn't worked. I get through the root, but each time in the past, it does some file verifying where it says "verifying 1 of 145 files" or something similar, and then adds SUser and CWM - It doesn't do this after this root, and the phone, while saying rooted, won't work as a rooted phone. All my unlicensed apps now fail to load.
I really think that the micro update installed via KIES today needs a new rootkit. I tried the above update, and all that did was delete the Super User app too >_<
Thank you for your patience so far. This stuff is very complicated outside of the normal rooting.

If you use CF Auto Root and lose SU just download SU from the market, this one

CF Auto root doesn't contain CWM you need to install that seperately or install TWRP recovery

Ok so made a bit of progress, got the SuperSU on there again, but apps still function as unlicensed. This was all working fine until the update this morning, but at least we are progressing.
Still haven't solved it. Some apps work, some don't. I even tried Lucky Patcher, no joy.
