As I said, it got stuck at the white SE logo no matter how many times I pressed the button.

Maybe after flashing should should reinstall xrecovery?
>>but i am not sure, about this...
I got some **** too, my current setting was the last SE Update with SEUS to my phone, then rooted, and xrecovery again.
I use "CM 6.1.3 V054 with BB 2.1.58 by Wolfbreak" there is nothing to flash,
only xrecovery actions needed (the last updates i made where completele withouth a PC - Files directly loaded from xda, booted to xrecovery, installed and after restoring apks with my backup root, work done)
>Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i with CM 6.1.3 V054 with BB 2.1.58 by Wolfbreak<-

Ok, i had to do this twice now, as i bricked it a couple of weeks ago
you'll have to reflash with sony ericsson update service here:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup.../detailed/updateservice/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en
Follow the instructions and press the back button before plugging in the cable.
Download the software and keep in mind that playing around with roms will result in these problems so don't go too far.
Hope this helps and good luck

take it easy bro,
just use the SEUS to go back to the stock rom and root again ,then reinstall busybox and xrecovery.that's what i did when facing this prob.

Before you do some drastic reflashing..I'd suggest manually copying all the files in the apk to /system/bin(if i remember the path correctly), changing their permissions, rebooting and trying again.
If this works, it might save you a whole lot of trouble.

Could you please mention your baseband as well. As the theme is meant for the 2.0.2.A.0.24 version of 2.1 only.

mate,
Its clearly posted that this theme is for Beta3 only.. if ur using 2.1, then your not using Beta3 because its for 2.2 froyo by Z.. U might want to check our what u flash in ur phone before doing it..
Niwei, if SEUS is not working, u might just have to FLASH ur phone again using the flasher made by B4nary.. find it in the other threads.. might help in ur reading.. Since ur already using xrecovery and ur phone is already rooted, try to flash beta3 un your phone then if u dont like 2.2, reflash using SEUS.. hope this helps..

There is also a version for 2.1 as stated in the title and in the thread, but if they've flashed the wrong one then obviously it wont work.

Partition? ext* system?
I think give xrec another shot. Keep pressing back key repeatedly when "SE" logo is displayed. Works for me everytime. Btw which ROM you on?
If that doesn't works then use flash tool 0.2.6 by bin4ry and use the guide by androxyde to re-install xRecovery.

Correct me if I am wrong. But doesnt Xrecovery have a Factory Reset option ?
Aside from that, I thought I had bricked my phone a week or so ago when Z released Beta 4. I could boot up to the SE Logo and go no further, couldnt even get into xrecovery. However, give this a shot, it worked for me to get it into flash mode so I could do a recovery on SEUS..
- Pop you battery out
- Connect USB Cord without batter in.
- Reinsert Batter while holding Back button
- The Screen should light up white for a split second but go back off.
- The Green Light at the top of the phone should stay on now
That should put you into Flash Mode for SEUS. The just do a recovery.
Yes, you will loose all of your information but hey, atleast you arn't buying another phone.

Next time, read the post cleary and don't just think you know what your doing.
If the FW Version doesnt match you can lock your phone up pretty good.
If the Base Band doesn't match up, then you can mess up your Service and possibly put your phone into a repeating boot cycle.

If things get stuck at downloading its normally a problem at goods end not yours. Have you tried going to settings/manage applications/all applications/market and clean clear the cache and force close it and then rebooting to solve your problem. This works most of the time

Yes, i tried.
- Begin with my X10 in 2.0.2.A.0.24
- I installed first the baseband with your "Baseband 2.1.54, A beginners guide for x10I / x10a"
- BusyBox and xRecovery installed an works ok.
- Flash Beta4 with xRe3covery and all ok, except by this problem with market.
- Restore full backup and the Oficial ROM works ok, except again with market.
- Recovery with SE PC Companion, and all works except by Market. Curiosly... xRecovery doesn't work (Back key after Sony Ericson logo), it's possible that PC Companion erase it.
- I flash the ROM X10i_2_0_A_0_504_GLOBAL
- With SuperOneClick, i rooted again my X10
- With FlashTool, install BusyBox and xRecovery (by Advanced), but xRecovery don't load.
- At this moment, i have a X10 with:
Model: X10i
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Baseband: 2.0.46
Kernel: 2.6.29 [email protected]#1
Build Number: 2.0.A.0.504
Without any posibility of install any app!!! My X10 return to a single Nokia 1100 state
You need to root your device with the flash tool and install xrecovery with it too and then go back to my guide

I have the same problem with the old market. To install anything you just have to wait, after a while you will see selected app downloading and installing. If it takes more then 4 minutes just cancel your download, start it again and wait. That's why i have to use new market.

I had the same problem, it's an issue of baseband. You just have to install new baseband (2.1.54) using flasher(not sure if it's the right name of this program). If you want to install new rom, you won't be able to recovery the old android 2.1 because the old baseband is not available on the internet. Think about that! Because it's akready to late for me

Reinstall xRecovery

Hi guys,
Does anyone know why I can't reinstall xRecovery. Something went wrong with the phone while I was putting a ROM in it so I flashed back to original.
Now xRecovery is removed from my phone and I can't reinstall it: won't get the three green pictograms.. they stay red

Problem booting in xRecovery

[SOLVED]
I started the procces to flash in a custom rom, but being very careful, I proceed step by step, reading a lot in the forum.
First I rooted my X10 : I chose Z4root method, because it can be done without a PC, it comes with temporary root and unroot option. I know it work, because I can use apps that require root (easytether for instance).
Then I installed xRecovery. I could boot in xRecovery (though I had to make a couple restart before succeeding) and I made a backup.
Finally I rode a lot on different rom. It took me a long time and many days ellapsed since my xRecovery backup, so when I finally made up my mind, a new backup is required.
And then come my problem : I can't boot in xRecovery anymore.
I know I have to press 'back' several time 'just after SE label'. Well, when I boot my phone I first get a SE label, then an animation and a new SE label (with image logo). I tried to press 'back' many time at both two SE label, then press and hold, even tried the 'home' button. I never boot in xRecovery.
As I am a bit paranoid, I don't let my phone rooted when not required. I reroot everytime I need it. And of course I did it before trying to boot in xRecovery. Could it be that I messed up xRecovery doing this ? I tried to reinstall xRecovery, but obviously it does nothing (I have 'file already exist' message for each of the three 'cp commands).
I feel a bit dumb ending up asking for such a silly problem, but there must be something obvious I miss, and I can't find out what.
Thank you just for reading.
You have to press it a few times right after the very first SE logo appears.
From my X10a running WB CM 6.1.3 V054
Well I still can't boot in xRecovery whatever I do. I press many time 'back' just after first SE label but I get nothing but normal boot. I guess smething is messed up with xRecovery. I'd like to reinstall it, so I first need to have a way of uninstalling it.
Thank you anyway.
Hmm have You checked busybox? Try to uninstall xRecovery and busybox, and do a clean install of these apps. Should work.
Install xRecovery with FlashTool, it's easyer !!
umm reinstall busybox, maybe a different version if you must, and then reinstall xrecovery. tada

You would have to keep root on all the time instead of temporary root.

Yes of course. When I want to use xRecovery, I need a permanent root (that's what I did). I only unroot when done and use temporary root only for tethering.
Thank you for your help.
Busibox. It was obvious. I should have found out myself...
Why wouldn't you just leave the phone rooted? really doesn't make any sense and means you can't use root apps. Rooting your phone does nothing to void your warranty and without the bootloader being unlocked there is nothing you could do to mess it up that couldn't be fixed by simply reflashing.

I firmly re-assure you, that rooting is NOT dangerous. All you need to do is connect to flashtool and click root. Also, lets say IF you screw up. just download the tft firmware file, no problem. As good as new.

What happened? My phone suddenly started itself and works normally again?
Start from a scratch, 2.1, root, recocery and dessired 2.3 rom wuth 2.3.tft, hope it works out,
Maybe it just needed a longer first time boot after instaling the new rom i found that when i tried wb6 it was a long long first boot but fine afterwards.
