Hey so i was trying to install de Cm recovery in mi mini pro
So i need it the busybox thing
I went to the market and downloaded the busybox installer app
After i installed busybox everything was going fine
Until i decided to reboot my phone
When my phone rebooted pop ups started to appear about
Launcher pro not working and dpsmananger not working
And then it said that the process system is not working
What can i do there?
I cant reboot into xrecovery
So please help me!!!
It passes the se screen and the bootanimation
the lockscreen works and the touchscreen too even the freaking screen on off animation works
I think it might have to do with the system files or something
so how can i change this??
Please help i am really desperate!!!!
I tried using seus but it doesnt work either!
Why u want busybox, if u already have xrecovery? Now u must use flashtool!

Somewhere in this forums a way was posted to get into recovery anyways, dunno how it was called :/
Ill try to find that post!
EDIT: i didnt find it!
Hey you rom experts out there help me out!!!
Use pc compagnon and flash the good old stock. Otherwise flashtool may also help you.
I did the same like you few weeks ago and this is the only way.
sent with my mini pro
i had similar problem with my phone.I download 'Update_Service_Setup-2.11.5.6' from sony ericsson and follow the instuctions.I lost my data and revert back to original 2.1 rom but i had a live phone ..Then i had to reflash the rom
You won't loose your data if you carefully do backups when playing around with roms
sent with my mini pro
Use Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) To Reflash Stock rom without Root. That should do it.
Just download it and follow the onscreen instructions.

Hi I am in desperate need clean official rom that i can install with xRecovery. I need it because the micro usb port has broken on my x10 and i have to send it back to SE. Can the rom also not be rooted and if possible uninstall xRecovery!
Before anybody says it I can not reflash my phone as i can not connect it to my PC :/
Please Help!
How are you going to put the ROM on...?
Download file from phone and then install with xRecovery
You still need to connect to a PC to unroot your phone after if I'm not mistaken.

at the most bottom links, there are 2, Full and Lite, download the full version, install it using xRecovery and find an application called Z4root (or was it 4zroot, something like that) and unroot your phone using that app.

if your realy stuck and are sending the phone away you could always delete some important files so the phone will not boot at all then when they fix the phone reflash using SEUS
Thanks for all the ideas guys but they all need me to connect my phone to my computer!
The way that i will have to fix it is using root explorer to delete all of the xRecovery files and busy box. And then i will need to use z4root to unroot my device

He can't connect to PC thats the problem
I've got a similar problem, but I just want to update my phone to the latest baseband version ...
Is there anyway to flash without connecting my phone to the PC ?
Regards.
you need a 2.1 stock rom, somebody to use xrecovery and make a backup for you, they will need to zip it, send it to you via dropbox or simular, download it with your phone, unzip it, place the 2.1 backup in xrecovery/backup folder on sdcard, then just use xrecovery to restore, finally un-root your phone.
I can not do it for you my friend as i am on the wrong baseband and testing other roms-good luck.
kX10 Custom SE ROM
You just need the offline charge patch
i am in the exact same position as you i have flashed uk generic so i could update to 2.1 but the usb port has broken and i cannot flash to vodafone uk so i can send it off to repair
use update service fix you system
like the OP our usb ports are broken so we cant connect to our pc/laptop
maybe you should download and install from market
the free application adbwireless. (or one like that)
that will allow you to connect to pc by wifi
and then --> flashtool
(but one question, how do you charge your phone if your micro-usb doesn't work?)
good luck
Hello!
I got problem with my Xperia X10i, I don´t know what to do.
Just some few hours ago i installed:
[ROM] [29-07] TripNMiUI "Iris" 1.8.3 Froyo!
h t t p ://android.modaco.com/topic/342875-rom-29-07-tripnmiui-iris-183-froyo-heading-for-20/
And it worked perfect, But then after that i installed Free Kernel 3.63 with Xrecovery like the ROM with misstake..
Free Kernel 3.63
And now my phone wont work, It starts and works to the "lockscreen" but then after that a error message pops up and stands that the system process doesnt answer after i unlock and after that it restarts. And Xrecovery wont start after the "Sony Ericsson" text.
I dont know what to do, If my phone is broke or if this can be fixed!
But please can someone help me!? I would be Grateful forever! and sorry for my bad english!!!
- Have a great day!
Here is how you get back to 2.1
Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Download the flash tool and the firmware you want and flash back to 2.1 and reinstall trip's miui rom.
Did you download the correct kernel for the rom you were using? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112745 has 2 froyo kernels. One for froyo and one for Miui.
Good luck my friend
1. Try flashing a normal kernel via Flashtool, seeing if this is corrected
2. Reinstall xrecovery before FC ? via Flashtool
3. Reinstall via SEUS ?

Again, go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Download the flashtool:http://www.multiupload.com/GYL7A7XQBT
and the 2.1 firmware:http://www.mediafire.com/?sqv6274anzfzn2x
Install the flashtool, put the firmware in the firmware folder and then follow the instructions in the thread.
This will wipe all your data and revert your phone back to 2.1. The flashtool can root and install xRecovery allowing you to install The miui rom again getting you back to where you were before you flashed the kernel.
Oh ok. ill try this! Thanks for the help. Sorry for understand directly.
Don't worry I just hope your phone gets up and running again soon!

First of all: Good thing it didn't work yet, because you would have bricked your phone, you're on the wrong firmware/baseband to make the ROM work.
Secondly: Xrecovery isn't standard software on your phone, so it won't work without some effort.
So here's what you do:
1. Use SEUS or PC Companion to update your firmware to 2.1.1.A.0.6 with Baseband version M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
(If it won't update your phone, send me a pm i'll give you the link for firmware you can flash with flashtool)
2. Use Flashtool to root your Phone
3. Use Flashtool to install XRecovery
After that: boot into XRecovery and install your chosen ROM according to the instructions in the post you got it from.
If you need CWM to flash the ROM, there is a version that can be flashed with XRecovery, it's the easiest way.

If not, do it, it will have the proper drivers and you will probably need it sooner or later anyway

so far, i gathered info that the best and efficient rooting technique is DoomLord's Rooting Toolkit..3 cheers to doomlord!
unfortunately for me it wont work coz i updated my firmware to .62..now i know i have to flash a previous FW to either .58 or .42 in order to use DoomLord's kit
I searched for flashing techniques as well, but i couldn't find the procedure to flash or rather the ones which i came across didn't work for all
Could any1 be kind nuf as to help out a noobie such as me and others who have the same problem as me!!

flashing is really simple and it took me just 15 minutes a few hours ago to flash .58 fw.
so here it goes.
first, you need to download .58 fw here http://depositfiles.com/files/1inil87p7
then download flashtool here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309
after you downloaded both of that, install the flashtool to your computer. then put the .58 fw that you just downloaded to c:/program files/flashtool/firmwares
means that i recommend to save flashtool on c:/program files.
after you have done that. backup all needed things such as maybe your messages, contacts or maybe apk files using super backup for both messages and contacts and titanium for backing up apk.
after you done that, open flashtool, connect your devices to the computer using usb cable, then flashtool will automatically recognises your phone it will say 'connected devices: SK17'.
then click on the flash thunder icon and choose flashmod, then you will see the .58 fw that you just downloaded earlier. then i recommend you to leave wipe data and cache checked or maybe up to you. because last time i unchecked wipe data and cache i cant root my phone after so thats why i ask u to backup things. and press ok. wait like 1 minute then it will ask you to unplug usb cable, switch off your phone. while your phone switched off, hold down the volume button, plug in devices using usb cable to your computer and power on your device, then you will see flashtool will start flashing.
after flashing is done, unplug the usb cable and switch on your phone then BOOM! you are now on .58 fw. then just simply root it using doomlord zergrush method and thats it.
if you a little bit confuse just follow these steps

oh, benefits of unlocking bootloader is that you can use custom roms and custom kernels, you can even flash custom kernel that can root .62 im not sure check it out somewhere on android development section.
and afaik, if you unlock bootloader you will not get any official updates from se such as in the future the ice cream sandwich updates but im not completely sure

You can always relock your bootloader and update but you can't get back DRM rights...which is not a big issue...so what if track id don't work, there are better similar apps like soundhound.Also there is a method which unlocks bootloader without losing DRM but never test it

1. Unlocking bootloader will stop you from updating through SE official method. But i'm sure you can always flash the firmware using flashtool when the update is available
2. Unlocking bootloader DOES NOT do any harm as far as i'm concern(but void the warranty! If i'm not mistaken). The only way you can damage it is by using third party software/firmware.. Let say you unlock the bootloader > use custom kernel > overclock it like crazy till it melts.

Yes. Hold down the volume down button keys for mini pro.
You need to do this after you selected your chosen firmware to flash and click ok.
Then you will see a pop up telling you to unplug the USB cable, switch off phone.
Then hold down the volume down, while doing that, plug in your USB cable to your computer and switch on your phone. Don't let go of holding the volume down button yet!
Wait till you see on the flashtool start flashing then it's ok to release the volume down button and that's where the magic started.
No you don't need to unmount your sd card, it will not remove/ delete anything from your sd card except applications or games that are saved on your sd card which is not a big deal you can download it again later or make a backup of its apk.
Hope I help ya

so this happened when i try to apply this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306044 and after i carelessly copied framework-res.apk to system/framework using root explorer without setting the correct permissions, my phone automatically shuts off and try to restart but it failed, it stucked on the big sony ericsson logo and 'sony ericsson' text.
i have pull out the battery hundred times and try to reboot my phone normally but it didnt worked it still stucked on the sony ericsson logo.
so can anyone help me please...
what tools/application should i get to fix this?
first of all, i dont want to wipe/lose/factory reset my phone memory data because that would make my phone contacts gone which i never ever want to happen. so please is it possible to backup my contacts somewhere else if wiping is the answer at least??
okay i took a lot of time to type this and hoping someone give me an answer
Hi, what is your model no? and you rooted it?
Sent from my ST15i using xda premium
i use sk17i mini pro as mentioned above and yes it is obviously rooted
Congratulations, you have felt the power of customizing Android for the first
Actually, one way to fix this now, is to get back to fully stock firmware.
The second way would be to unlock bootloader, install a custom kernel, enter recovery and use Fix Permissions option. Unfortunately, not all Recoveries have this, only some versions of ClockworkMod Recovery. I have used many kernels on my LWW and only some of these included this option and I can't remember which one had, which not.

actually, i have been in android customization for so long already when im still using my sold lg optimus one a year ago. i have flash a custom roms and kernels on that phone a lot of times so im not new on android customization at all.
i stayed away from customizing my sony ericsson phone cause its a bit different and hard here espeially when it comes to unlocking bootloader and that stuff

If contacts is too important for you and you have no backups, then go for the 2nd way - Unlock bootloader and install a custom kernel, which offers the Fix Permissions option.
I will check the Update Service, if Repair option will erase user data or not, currently updating my phone.
EDIT: Yes, removes all data.

If you can access flashmode, then your okay. Just flash stock firmware.
Will check Flashtool option.
Yep, you're correct, Flashtool has option to not wipe user data.

Flashmode - Turn off phone, connect USB cable to your computer, hold down Volume DOWN button and connect USB cable to your phone.
Flashtool guide is in my tutorial.

i cant find your tutorial. link?
this will do? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
or maybe i should try what this guy says?
"Follow this guide External rooting guide but in steps 5 and 12 instead of "rootxperia.zip" use "mini_mod_v1.8.zip". Once you have phone fully booted I suggest to install CWM recovery mode (you probably don't have it now) - CWM installation file - run install-cwm1.cmd and follow the onscreen instructions. Then you will be able to enter CWM recovery via volume down button during booting."

You should probably get a backup app and backup your stuff or either root again and install CWM and backup that way

Well he forgot to tell you that the first boot after every new 'fresh' flash required a little time for the phone to boot because it create cache at the boot animation...

plz help me thanks in advance gents
Actually, i think you could've salvaged your phone without the need of flashing it... If you had access to CWM, you could've put framework file into zip file and flash it with CWM. It helped me once when i got stuck in bootloop after failed installation of a mod

its very easy to recover your phone if you got bootloop or stuck at sony ericsson logo. dont sweat.
first of all you need a stock .ftf firmware downloaded. any .ftf stock firmware .58/62/42 or whatever as long as it is stock.
then download and install flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309
then put your downloaded .ftf firmware at c:/program files/flashtool/firmwares/"your downloaded .ftf firmware"
then open flashtool and click on the lightning icon. and choose flashmode.
then press volume down button, while you do that connect your phone to pc using usb then flash the firmwares. then boom your phone back to life
