After install Font Changer, and busy box 1.8, right after, the phone starts to:
a) hangs
b) cant get acess via xrecovey ( to reinstall rom )
c) FC constantly.
d) cant get install any apps ( its hangs and fc
e) the most important, CANT access the drop down menu, so cant link connect with usb. ( if i try to "drop" to autorize usb it hags.
f) cant not acess sd card, astro explorer doenst recognize "sd" as present... in fact the phone doenst recognize sd as present. Try to remove and checked in PC and everything is ok.
I know thats possible not a really rom problem but have no way out.
Thanks
I got out of possibilities, in how get installing the SE or modded rom.
So if someone can help, i would appreciate..

Reflash your firmware and start from scratch. The easiest and surest way.
BTW, try out EWJET custom ROM.

thats the point, i dont get install the SE rom. I remved the batery, put it back, press back button, connect the usb ( phone starts ) the SEUS recognize phone on boot, and... tell me to tap the usb connection...
the problems is, i just cant get drop the upper menu to allow usb connection...
by the way, debbuging is greyed out.
i just cant believe what is going on.

Never reinstall busy box after you flash a ROM. That's why you couldn't get back into xrecovery. But you have to start from scratch again like the Guy before me said.
Use flashtool. Do u need help with flashtool to get your phone working again?

You can definitely fix it. Like was already said installing busybox broke your ROM and recovery. Flashtool will be able to flash without issue.

[Q] x10i 2.1 Nordic issues trying to re-rom

Im having some issues with my x10i that i put Nordic 2.1 on a few weeks ago.
Some apps fail to open every now and then, and the stock android alarm doesnt work (the app seems fine, but when the alarm goes off there is no noise, yes ive tried volume etc, yes ive tried downloading a 3rd party alarm)
So id like to put a fresh 2.1 rom on, ive tried these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825675
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827065
But i cant get them to work, the .bat files of the flasher fail at the connection stage (2nd step after selecting windows vr)
Im having a lot of problems,, main one is that i cant install the driver for the x10 in flash mode, windows cant find the driver.
If anyone could kindly tell me exactly what i have to do, starting from connecting the x10 to a virgin win xp (no drivers installed for the x10), id be happy to donate $20USD into your paypal account
Ok let me see if I can help you a title here....
1. Root your device using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=453551&d=1291188836 its really simple and fast...
2. Once you've root your device use this application http://www.mediafire.com/?ewf9e41ybw2eazz
to install the Xrecovery menu on your phone... It's very simple as well....
3. Download this file http://hotfile.com/dl/87564842/7e80127/SE_update-shipped-full.zip.html
and save it to your SD Card into any folder you want, I recommend you to do it in a new one with any name you want, that will make easier the next step...
4. Reboot your phone and right after the white letters with Sony Ericsson logo appear press the back key a few times , if the Xrecovery menu has been installed correctly you will see a weird image of and Android with troll face lol... and a bunch of options like reboot, install update zip etc....
5. Choose Install Custom Zip and then go to the folder you created with the downloaded zip file... from step 3... Then select it and click in yes... Wait for a few minutes and when the phone tells you done click on reboot and wait for the firmware to load...
6. Enjoy the SE 2.1 firmware with JIT enabled.
7. Read your inbox...

Put XP in safemode, run seus, put phone in flashmode when prompted so it installs the drivers, try the flashtool again, while in safemode on XP.
Or if you'd rather go for something simpler.. try rooting (if you haven't already) then follow this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828163 to flash to global generic.
i cant even get the phone to tunr on atm, but if i get it to work ill send $20 ur way jimbo, thanks everyone
jimbo, actually your links are broken so i cant follow your guide cause u just say "use this application" - but link is down
ok, i found a new link for that one, but i cant install it cause when i connect my phone to the pc, it just starts charging, it wont mount the sd??
"If anyone could kindly tell me exactly what i have to do, starting from connecting the x10 to a virgin win xp..."
ok i put xrecovery on the sd card through a pc, installed the app and ran the app, clicked Install Xrevovery, error
already have root access, xreovery was granted superuser, but doesnt work
tried the new root app just in case, it just switched off my phone... none of this works
does anyone live in Sydney and can do it for me????
Have you installed BusyBox too?

[Q] X10 Proces system error, cant do anything.

Hello all,
I was using this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002836
for a few weeks and all was working fine until today. All just worked fine until some moment that all stoped to work. Now i dont have any service anymore and when i try to reboot it and it starts again i get:
-No widgets load
-"Process system is not responding" Force close or wait.
-Cant boot into xRecovery
-Flashtool wont recognize the phone
-phone keeps making notification sounds for no reason
-i get no service
-cant connect to wifi
-wont recognize SD card
-randomly freezes
I found on this forum that this problem causes because i install a new busybox thats what created this error. But i cant get back in to xrecovery again or back to my SD card since my pc doeosnt connect to my phone. So also SEUS doesnt connect, what can i do to reset it all or atleast to get back into xrecovery?
Yours,
anyone have any solutions? i'm in the same exact boat.
Try reinstalling xrecovery from flashtool. You should be able to even with force closes.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Go to Application -> Dev Tools -> Bad Behavior -> Crash the system server then reboot. Give it a few minutes to settle then if that doesn't work, download xrec v0.3 from below. If xrec installs then wipe cache & clear Dalvik cache. If none of those work you have no choice but to reflash.

How exactly are you trying to root? Have you tried the flashtool, z4root or super one click?

I've tried all of them. Flashtool has always worked for me in the past but all I can do on it at the moment is flash the stock firmware it won't let me click the root option.
Z4root would go through everything but then when I donloaded busybox it said I wasn't rooted.
And with super one click it would spend for ever trying to find the device, never find it then the programme would freeze.
Do you have any other ideas?

Z4root & Superclick are my backup procedure in case I'm not infront of a pc and I always use the flashtool to root.
Are you sure usb debugging is enabled? I know I've made that mistake before then realized that it wasn't enabled. Stock 2.1 does not enabled this function by default as far as I know.

BTW what firmware are you using? If you are still on the branded firmware that might be the reason why so flash a generic 2.1 firmware then try rooting again. Here's an example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15711725#post15711725
If you look at the last few posts Uberlight25 was using branded firmware and had the same problem as yours. After flashing generic 2.1, he/she was able to root again.
Good luck.

I have the exact same problem. Did you solve it?
I device maneger SEMC USB Flash show up with a yellow warning sign that indicate that drivers are missing. I have tried to install SE companion but that did not help. Also I cannot flash to a stock rom via SEUS.
Someone suggested to install xrecovery again ... but how?

[Q] Failed to install JIT. Phone wont start :S

So I am new here. Sorry if I am a noob or something. But I rooted my phone, installed busybox, installed xrecovery, which won't start . Tried all 0.1 ,0.2 , 0.3 versions, none works. so I thought I could do it manually. Copied lib and bin files, but didn't find the build file. So I did only this. And then installed a app which needed rebooting, and it stuck. Sometimes it doesn't start at all and sometimes it reboot on itself. Tried the PC companion help, but it can't even connect . Do I still have hope? What can I try? Can you give me a step by step guide, since I am noob
DId you try Flashtool? Download v0.2.9 from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455) and then install the correct firmware, which I can find for you if you tell me if it's mini pro or only mini
I think I flashed it. I have mini, not pro. Sorry didn't say it at first.
P.S. GO pocket legends

It should "always" be reflashable with SEUS. Sony Ericsson Update Service.
Thanks to both of you. SEUS worked now the phone is OK.
glad you made it works
You must try AIO

[Q] How to downgrade without SEUS or flash?

Hi everyone
I´ve a problem, my usb port not working, so can´t charge ou even connect to pc.
EDIT: I´ve tryed with different usb cord ou usb chargers, same problem: can´t charge or connect to (any) pc. The problem is in usb phone.
Solution: go to SE support, Problem: X10 Mini Pro rooted and with modified rom.
So is that possible to flash an original rom (Vodafone Portugal) but using only the sdcard and xrecovery? Here i can get the original rom?
Best regards and many many thanks in advance.
All the best for you
I don't see any problem here. Charge your phone using socket in the wall

You actually have no problem. Just buy a new USB cord.
I´ve used many diferent charges or usb cords, the problem is in usb phone, so i can´t connect to any pc or charge the batery That´s why i wan´t to downgrade so i could send phone to SE.
Don't tell them, that your phone is rooted and bring them power offed phone.

it would still be the same. SE people needs to turn on phone to try to connect the phone. they would know if the phone has custom ROM.
@thread starter ( BMFDUARTE ):
- Find a thread at x10 mp section for you to download the back up file for the stock ROM. I have back up for stock ROM but it is impossible for me to upload it. Sorry.
-Just download the back up file and put it in your SD cards folder which would be "clockworkmod" or "xrecovery".
-Run the recovery in your phone and restore the downloaded back up file.
-After doing so, you should have the stock ROM back.
-There you can FOOL the SE people
Hey, you can give them phone, and they will fix it. Why are you afraid giving them phone with custom rom? They will fix your phone and you'll have to pay for it. Rooting your phone only disables your guaranty for the phone. That means you'll have to pay for their help.
SEUS says new software already installed
When I connect my e10i to SEUS for flashing back to stock rom its says new software alrready installed. this is happening after unlocking the bootloader and flashing nAa-08 kernel to the phone. PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!

Reboot Mufed Up

So I did something, turned off my phone, and now when I turn it on, it will show the Sony Ericsson screen then half a second of the AT&T screen then it will shut off and restart everything and it does this over and over and over until I take out the battery. I have a x10a running on 2.1 update and I have no idea what to do.
Sony Ericsson companion wont do anything to help me out by doing the "hold back button and plug in".... it says "update not available". Also my phone won't let me hard reset I really don't know what to do so can you please tell me something to do? I've been trying to fix it since about 3:00pm yesterday and its about to drive me crazy!! So please write back, Thanks!
