is there a way to flash xrecovery through flash tool, ive really screwed up my x10 and xrecovery wont install the normal way, but flash tool is working fine for!
Erm ... yes.
Make sure that you have install unknown apps and usb debugging turned on.
Run flashtool.
Plug in your phone.
Ask for root permissions (assuming you have rooted your phone, if not click on root)
Then click on xrecovery.
That does it for me. Or if you have really screwed your phone and want to recovery a previous back up and that won't work just flash a stock firmware in flashtool, then root, then add xrecovery.
Hope this helps.
cheers for the help;-)

Alright, I'll try helping out.
1st. xRecovery
Install xRecovery then do a full wipe of your phone... Dont forget to backup just in case.
2nd. FlashTool
Use FlashTool Through your computer and flash the official firmware.
3rd. Master reset.
FlashTool 0.2.6 - "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746"
Decrypted Official ROMs - "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793"
xRecovery - "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571"
See if any of these methods work...
result :
my phone root is broken so it says successfully instaled xrecovery via the flashtool but i cant boot onto xrecovery it just do a normal startup

Use PC Companion to repair your phone, then root, install busybox & xrecovery via flashtool.

that and If u want, do a manual installtion of xRecovery. lemme hit this up:
1st. make sure buzybox is installed, just in case, dl the installer from the market and run it.
2nd. dl xRecovery 0.3 and extract it. (preferebly on computer)
3rd. go into /res/raw/ and you'll find 3 files, copy and paste it into /system/bin/
then xRecovery should be back.
(i kinda do this often cause the auto install of xRecovery usually fails on my phone)
hey guys,
I really need your Help!
I've flashed Trips Froyo Miui 1.7 ROM.. so far so good everyting worked great. Then I wanted to flash Z's zKernel but it didn't work, so I tried FreeKernel mod 3.60, but it also didn't work.
When I wanted to reboot phone after flashing FreeKernel it didn't boot up custom Kernel and after booting up the sytem I recogniced that I don't get a signal and sd- card doesn't mount. So I rebooted phone and hoped that everyting would work, but it didn't. So I turned off phone and wanted to restore a working rom via xrecovery, but I sadly had to notice that I can't boot into recovery anymore.
So when I boot up phone it always shows "Prozess system doesn't react" or something like that.
I really don't know what I can do now, so please help me!

If you can, plug in your phone in with flashtool open, if it reads the phone (tells u that busybox is found) then hit ask root perms and then install recovery.
I have already tried that, but it didn't find my phone..

2 options i guess:
1. reinstall stock rom from flashtool or
2. reinstall stock rom from SEUS/PCC
OK I'll try that and I really hope it works.
Flashing stock rom via flashtool worked.
Thanks for your help!
I have a Big (or maybe little) problem.
Yesterday i got stuck on flashing to WB rom dint boot again and cant get acces to Xrecovery so i did flash back to 2.1 again i thought.
now PC Companion reconised it to be GB and install the stock GB rom.
But now i cant get Xrecovery, Busybox and Root Explorer to work.
I have still Costum Kernel installed so is there any way to get it all to work again?

You need to download your original firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872298
Or if you can't find it just look for global firmware and download that
Then extract the ftf from what ever firmware you decided to download and put it in the firmware folder in flashtool
Then flash your x10 and that will install 2.1 firmware onto your phone.
Then you need to (with flashtool) root your phone. Then after reboot, ask permissions, then add xrecovery..
Then you can re flash custom 2.3
I found this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193753 and workt perfectly for me.
Its the same way you are saying.
So thanks for that.
This topic can be closed.
HEY guys...thanks for your hard work here...
i've a problem,
SHORT VERSION:
1-downloaded Doomlord gingerbread backup and made "factory reset"
2-no access to xrecovery (actually i've missed with them in system/
3-no root permission and can't get it with flashtool
4-all i can do is to use the phone in flash mode
5-NOW HOME BUTTON DOES'T WORK,POWER OPTIONS SHOW ONLY POWER OFF,AND I GUESS NO USB DEBUG IS WORKING AS FLASHTOOL NOR SUPERONECLICK NOR ADB METHOD CAN ROOT THE PHONE
Now I'm asking,....can i root or flash custom rom without usb debug??
LONG VERSION:
1-downloaded Doomlord backup
2-wanted to install wolf GB TW or z's uncap
3-my old xrecovery can't mount SD
4- i thought the error had been in the phone so i made a factory reset
5-after the reset i still had a root access
6-downloaded xrecovery 0.3 + unzip
7-copied sh&xrecovery.tar in system/xbin
8-copied 2 charger files to system/bin
9-still the old xrecovery
10-copied the xrecovery.tar in system/bin
11-no recovery mode at all
12-i later i realized that i've no more root access
13-tried 2 factory reset and superoneclick and root with flashtool and with adb exploid method -all not work-
14-then i realized that USB debug may not be working as there's no notifications about it
15-tried some .apks -Gingerbreak&x10iroot- also not work
PLEASE HELP IF U CAN...
since you can connect it in flash mode i suggest flashing stock 2.1 and take it from there

Yes and no.
No because you can only flash official sony ericsson firmwares using flashtool.
Yes because when you flash back to 2.1, you can root, install xrecovery, and install any rom you want (providing you have the correct baseband).
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
solved
thanx guys...solved week ago
i've downloaded the x10_2.3_aro.zip with about 230 MB (took alot of time to download) then created .ftf bundle and flashed it in flashtool
recently rooted with aZUZU METHOD ....works perfect
I flashed a custom rom which needed a custom kernel (but i did not install the kernel), now my x10 mini pro freezes at the white sony ericsson logo, i tried loading the flash recovery but it does not load.
This is the link to the rom:-forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415026
Its my fault for not reading the instructions properly, if i flash the nAa kernel using flashtool will the problem be solved or is there a different process
Please help me, the help will be really appreciated.

Are you on stock kernel, right?
Try flahsing stock ROM using Flashtool and see if it works.

So now it seems you're back to stock. Yay!
Did you fully reset the phone after going back to stock? It seems they're not installing because you don't have Superuser permission anymore.
It happened to me when I tried to flash MiniCM7. So I flashed the full stock ROM via Flashtool and managed to get root accees again, so I was able once again to install CWM.

First you need to ROOT (this installs "Superuser" application)
Download SuperOneClick [ http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64062539/s4a...lickv2.3.1.zip ]
You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode
Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging (enable)
You NEED to make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed. SE PcCompanion has this drivers embeded
[ http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/pc-companion/ ]
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card
Click ROOT on SuperOneClick,
Voila... your phone is Rooted
