merely seeing those 'greens' is no guarantee you have installed Xrecovery successfully--I think you may not have not done it yet.
Read the post at this link carefully and follow instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878426
Best wishes.
........do press the thanks button if this helps.........
Don't update your busybox, keep it at the original 1.15 (i think thats what it was) 1.19 stuffed things up for me, also couldn't get into recovery!
If you have not figured this out yet, connect your phone to pc and use flashtool to install xrecovery and reboot to xrecovery from flashtool menu.

Hi...
just install the latest busybox with busybox installer from the market
then install xRecovery X10i Mini (E10i) not the 0.3 this version will not work
restart your phone and press back if the Se logo appears
i will attach this version of xrecovery for you
try pressing the back button simultaneously after reboot. Don't wait for the sony ericsson word logo appear. I tried that when I made 2 or 3 reboots without going to xRecovery when I first tried to root my phone and it didn't fail me xD
1. man it's simple download adb mask controller
2. to your mobile go to settings->applications->development-> check usb debugging
3.connect your mobile to pc
4. open adb mask controller (attached below)
5. press check conncection
6. at the "Main" tab check "install" and then press "Push busybox"
7. at the "Push and Pull" tab check "/system/bin" then press "browse", select one of the three xrecovery file and then press "send" (xrecovery files included in the attachment)
8. do the same for the two remaing xrecovery files
9. at last reboot and press a lot times the back button
10. Voila xrecovery
All credits go to the developers who supplied us with these tools!!!

Hi Guys,
I have a HTC Desire GSM and a Xperia X10i.
I have already using LeeDroid Gingerbread custom ROM on my HTC Desire and now working on Xperia X10i.
Rooting the Xperia X10i is straight forward using Single 1 Click 1.9 and does all the tricks. However, working on XRecovery on Xperia X10i needs some tricks and I have found those posts above useful.
Thank you so much guys. I have managed to install the XRecovery on third attempts, and now by the time I am writing this comment I should have backup the entire stock ROM & Apps + seetings.
My first aim to load CM7 for the Xperia 10i
Happy rooting & set my Xperia freeeeeee

I just installed xRecovery Installer... and when I go into the xrecovery installer icon, and press install xrecovery, my phone asked for root rights, and after I give permission nothing happened... Is there going to be a new icon for xrecovery or its just a program that runs in the background and will not add an extra icon? I'm also suspecting that I did not install xRecovery correctly because I tried to boot into xrecovery by restarting the phone and press back button 11 times ( I assume that the back button is the right of the 3 buttons) but nothing happened. How would I know if I had installed xrecovery correctly? What is the current version of xrecovery? the one I have is 0.2 release. Thanks for the help!!
think you didn't install it correctly
inside here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9561641
I'd recommend you to follow these steps
Manual Installation:
- Download the apk, rename it to xRecovery-0.2-release.ZIP
- Unpack the file, find ./res/raw folder inside. It should contain 3 files (chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar)
- copy these 3 files into /system/bin using root explorer (remember to remount /system rw
those worked for me, auto installation doesn't work all the time
try rebooting your phone and press the back key a few times whilst it's booting.. if you've installed it, the recovery menu will appear.
when you reboot the phone after the sony ericsson boot screen keep pressing the volume down key or the back key
How do I copy the files in to /system/bin? I connected the phone, mounted it, and in the sd card I cannot find /system/bin. Please help! Thanks!
try the automatic installation!
is safer.
that reboot and tap the back button.
it will work.
Regards,
Tehouster
Another tip too, make sure that you have busybox installed from the market
By automatic installation, it means that I just copy the apk files to my phone's memory card, and run it from there right? and after the apk install the xrecovery installation icon, I just press on that and everything should be good?

you copy the one .apk file and start it with one of the file managers.
install it, start xRecovery, tap install.
reboot, tap the back button several times.
woooo it worked. Thanks all.
make sure you have restarted the phone
turn phone off and when the "sony ericsson" white text comes up repeatedly hit the back button (right button) and u go into xrecovery
im facing the similar prob. i cant load xrecovery after installation.
Make sure you installed busybox from the market. That was my problem. But after I installed another copy of busybox from the market, it fixed everything! Hope it helps! Good luck!
Apparently i'm too stupid to get this working. (That, or it just doesn't work on my Xperia X10.) But i know the xRecovery files are in the system\bin folder, i triple checked.
Even moved them in manually replacing the ones in there. Reinstalled BusyBox from market so it's running 1.7.1, AND i keep holding the back button down on boot of the phone, but to no avail it seems, nothing happens.
It goes from the white SE logo, to the swirly colors, and then to the SE logo with the bubble above it. And i kept holding Back down the entire time...

Try the automatic installation(if you didn't use it already)
I did that as well as try manual after it. Still can't get the darn thing started.
Edit: And out of the blue, it works.. >.o
I'm having the same problem
what I've noticed is that when I've got the 1.17.1 busybox installed, after the xrecovery installation it reverts back to 1.15.3
I've tried with both 1.17.1 and 1.15.3 with no success
I just installed busybox and then my phone is rebooting again and again!!
What can I do to stop it?
I don't know how to boot it into recovery. I did it once (before I installed busybox) by clicking the back button when it's starting, but it's not working now.
I tried to do it from quick boot (while my phone stays on for a minute or less) but it doesn't work.
I have xperia x10 rooted to android 2.2 with cyanogenmod 6
thanks in advance

1. Connect usb cord to computer
2. Turn off your phone for at least 5 seconds.
3. Hold the back button on your phone (Do not release)
4. Connect micro usb into your phone
5. Release back button
A solid greed LED will show if you have done it correctly.

Just a tip for you on this one
Disconnect the USB from the PC and plug it into the phone, do the steps above but at step 4, plug the USB (already connected to the phone) into your PC its so much easier.

I rooted my xperia mini x10 with superoneclick. After that i installed titanium backup and terminal emulater. I installed (with aais) xrecovery and after that enabled JIT. I make a backup with xrecovery.
FIRST PROBLEM: After that i want to enable app2sd.................
A lot of programms dissapear, like Market, titanium backup, terminal emulator, rootexplorer and xrecovery.
So i cant restore with xrecovery
I can't install from sd card because my market is gone so i can't download a root explorer.
I can't install from for example gmail because i cant open the market to install a app for opening attachments.
SOLUTION 1: After that I saw I still had the web browser. So i downloaded an root explorer with the webbrowser. And with the root explorer i installed titanium backup and terminal emulator again. An after that with the terminal emulator i installed xrecovery again. So i've restored again.
PROBLEM 2: After that i installed all my apps again (NOT APP2SD and also not enable JIT). Everything works. But after booting, there was an error in de homescreen an it keep looping.
So again i couldn't open my apps anymore. Again xrecovery didn't work anymore.
SOLUTION 2: I also installed advanced task killer. So i have this app icon in the upper left side of my screen. With this app i could open the market and with the market i could open terminal emulator en reinstall xrecovery.
So again I installed all my apps. After that the phone works very well.
PROBLEM 3: During the night the phone is always charging. Since i root my phone it isn't possible anymore to power off the phone and charge it.
This morning i started my phone an again it can't open the homescreen and it keeps looping.
I shut down my phone, boot it with xrecovery and try to restore with an new image i made the day before after i installed all my apps again.
Normally that proces takes a couple of minutes. This time it says to be completed after a very short time. I boot again and after that the phone doesn't come further than the white SE logo.
Can power off but after a few secs it starts up again. And can't open xrec anymore.
Also the battery wouldn’t charge further than 10%. From that it stops charging
NO SOLUTION 3:
• I've tried "install xrecovery for mini through adb, but when i typed adb shell it says: no device found.
• When I running SEUS i have the newest software and can't reinstall the latest firmware (normally i can in case of a problem)
• With pc companion you have to slice you start up screen down en connect with pc companion. THis is nog possible because the phone doesn´t get further than de white se logo. See there is also an reparation option and when i use that it says it can´t install all parts of the installation and stops installing
* flashtool also don't work
14/023/2011 21:23:45 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
14/023/2011 21:23:45 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
14/023/2011 21:23:45 - INFO - Then go to application settings
14/023/2011 21:23:45 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
Very difficult if i can't start up the phone anymore
I'm afraid the only way right now is to buy i new phone???????????
Hope someone still can help.
HELP HELP HELP HELP
Hmmm I guess they have changed the SEUS...
Anyways, AAIS script has few problems with app2sd, I've modded AAIS script to get it working... I myself got problem with app2sd that aais installed... I lost the superuser access, btw I guess u forgot to partition ur SDcard, apps2sd script requires that their should be a ext2 partition ALREADY PRESENT!!!
Well in ur case, u cant boot into recovery well sometimes I feel so but then I try it again, keep on hitting back button just after I press the power button, u can try that too.
Also look for a previous version of SEUS(as I think new version is having this latest firmware thinggyy), I'll post mine but I can do thats only after 17th!
Just to let u know, theres an option repair in PC companion use that! It wont ask u to turn on!
* i first did the sd card partitioning, so that can't be the problem.
* Repair option in pc companion also don't work
* I start my phone alreadey a hundreds time with pushing the back button but NO xrecovery
I'm going to try an older version of SEUS. I let you know if that works
I downloaded an older version of SEUS. But it first updates to the newest SEUS version before you can use it
Seus works when you just hold back while the phone is off and then plug in usb it has never failed me nor pc companion

U dnt just have to push the back button!
1)Long press the power button
2)Just after it vibraters, press-release-press-release.......the back button, i'm sure u'll get into recovery!
No the only way to get into xrecovery on a brick is when your in charge mode hold power it used to boot xrec it might be fixed now but you can't from the se logo on a brick
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
the only way is try to flash it again with Update Service (hold BACK and plug in)
or try to flash with x10 flash tool
if i were you
gud luk
btw, try to unplug the battery by taking off the back case, there's a cable power plug from the battery to the phone, use something (nail) to PULL it UP, wait a sec then push it back, i think the power still on, not really shutdown, hope this help (sorry for my bad english)

You sure we cant? Coz I have always booted into recovery like that and it worked on bricked mini pro too?
None of the above works. The battery loads only for a 10%. An stops loading after that. You can't shut down the phone it reboots after a couple of seconds. So i also think the battery can't realy shutdown. Sunday i have a torx screwdriver so i can try to unplug the battery. I let you know if it works.
Thanks so far
I finally had the right screwdriver. I tried a couple of things, each time after i first unmount the battery:
1. Flashtool didn't work. It ask to enable usb debugging and that is not possible
2. SEUS says there is no new software
3. PC companion, i go to the repair option and it says there is no software for your phone
4. Reboot by long press the power button and when the SE logo appears try push the back button, release, press, release. But this also didn't work
More options to try??????????
bring it to customer care center, the last thing you can do
I've already tried but they said they can't help if the phone is rooted
So this mean.....bye bye xperia mini x10???
I'm sure something can be done about this! I've to test it on my mini pro, wait! Lets see what happens!
I hope so!!!!! I still wait a while.

Hi all..
I was trying to root my device (using FlashTool), but after doing the step when you have to hold "Back" button and turn the device on (while FlashTool is still running), it just lost the ability to launch Android properly and instead it gets stuck on boot screen (black background with white "Sony Ericsson") and I'm not able to continue rooting my device afterwards..!
Any idea why? I did the same just yesterday and got the same problem ,so I had to restore system using SEUS tooll, but I still need to root my phone, any comment is welcome and thanks in advance for everybody..
I was following the instruction mentioned on this link:
www DOT xperiax10 DOT net/2011/09/08/root-your-gingerbread-xperia-x10-tutorial/#comment-31826
And my phone is running GingerBread.
I assume your phone is X10i (if it's X10a let me know)
1.- download stock generic firmware http://minus.com/mAla782XK/1f
2.- download and install flashtool http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
3.- inside flashtool you'll find several folders, unrar your firmware (X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_1241-1846.ftf ) inside firmware folder, do not connect your phone yet
4.- run flashtool and click on "flash" icon, pick flashmode, then OK
5.- On the left side select your firmware and hit OK (It will say "preparing files for flashing")
6.- A window giving you instruccions will pop up, just press and hold the back button on your phone, connect the USB cable (which is already connected to PC, of course ) and don't let go the button until you read flashtool started to flash
7.- wait 'till it finishes
8.- It will only take a few minutes, the only moment it seems it's stucked is when is flashing "system" , don't worry, it takes a little longer that the other files.
9.- after is done, just unplug, turn it on and wait, don't forget first boot always takes a little longer too!!!!!!
10.- If you want to, use flashtool to root your phone and install xrecovery afterwards, that's it, brand new
Hope it helps and is clear enough, any question just ask, I'm usually here.
Don't forget to hit "thanks" if I was helpful!!

I got that same problem when I tried to root my phone. Apparently I had forgotten to enable USB debugging on my phone before beginning the process..you can resolve it by clicking on flash in the flashtool and selecting kernel upgrade..your phone will boot after that. Then close flashtool and restart the process with USB debugging enabled. I did this and it worked for me
thank you very much
i did enable USB debugging and i repeated the process but unfortunately i faced the same problem i stuck on boot screen "black background with white "Sony Ericsson" text" i assumed that its default to stay on this screen for a while but i Waited for several minutes and nothing happened..
any idea why ? and what i have to do in order to root properly ?
thank in advanced.
Which version of flashtool r u using...
Xperia X10[LB, DoomV06-FS with FeraV19]
First upadate ur phone using SEUS..
Or(if the above don't work)
flash it using flashtool( put ur desired firmware in firmware folder and then flash)
Use the latest flashtool(0.7.1. something) just one click to root ur phone using this flashtool.
Click on the second folder from left(padlock) in flashtool.. Ur phone vl b rooted.
For installing xrecovery click on the second from right folder( plus symbol)
Take the desired one and install it..
When a door is closed definitely there will b another door in open..
For all first u should have COURAGE.

Relax. Be confident.
Restore your phone with SEUS first.
And then use this method to root your phone :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
Other methods involve confusing things. While rooting through this method, remember a few things :
(1) make sure u have installed adb drivers for ur device
(2) enable "USB DEBUGGING"
from (Menu\Settings\Applications\Development)
(3) enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES"
from (Menu\Settings\Applications)
(4) make sure flashtool is not running in the background.
It'll root your phone with just one click.
Then you can download xrecovery through flashtool.

after i turn on my phone it get stuck on black screen like arch.ahmed90 i try to waiting for a long time, almost 1 hour. but nothing happen my screen stuck at sony ericsson logo.
But the real problem is that my usb doesn't work now and i cannot connect the X10i to my computer. Is there a way to fix it?, i already read from other post but that doesn't help my problem.

8.- It will only take a few minutes, the only moment it seems it's stucked is when is flashing "system" , don't worry, it takes a little longer that the other files.
9.- after is done, just unplug, turn it on and wait, don't forget first boot always takes a little longer too!!!!!!
10.- If you want to, use flashtool to root your phone and install xrecovery afterwards, that's it, brand new
Hope it helps and is clear enough, any question just ask, I'm usually here.
Don't forget to hit "thanks" if I was helpful!!

Hi, what do i need if I have a X10a instead of X10i to recover?
My crash after doing a Theme update. Then it was it a boot loop. I tried to recover by re flashing the firmware and now I am stuck with this Sony Ericsson boot..
