thnx for da flashtool thing, worked like charm.
After rooting, had some problems with installing busybox and xRecovery. With little googling, I have installed both of them manually.
However, I am unable to boot in xRecovry. I keep pressing the back key on the boot screen, but my phone always starts normally. Not in xRecovery.

Use flashtool to instal xrecovrey, do it this way
1. Attach phone and start flashtool.
2. Goto to application settings on phone and ensure debugging is enabled. Only do this step if flashtool does not connect to your phone.
3. Click on ask root permissions
4. Give flashtool super user rights on your phone
5. Click on xrecovrey on flashtool.
6. Disconnect and reboot phone.
7. St the SE screen hit the back button repeatedly.
That should work

Have you tried installing busybox from Flashtool?
Try rebooting your phone and then try running the busybox installer.
no luck
Try installing Titanium Backup from Market and then install busybox from there
Use flashtool to install busybox.
still no luck
When using flashtool to root and flash busybox, make sure your phone is in debugging mode.
OK I was able to get it to work but now i have another problem. After getting busybox and xrecovery installed, i rebooted and went into Xrecovery and started to install a custom ROM BUT my battery fell out in the middle of the process (stupid me) so now i've just got a screen stuck at Sony Ericsson. What can I do to get the OS back on?????
U must use flashtool again to fix. Then redo root and busybox cuz flashtool wipes everything
Of that doesnt work. Use seus

You can use Flashtool to flash the 2.1 SE stock ROM.
or
You can use SEUS to reinstall the 2.1 SE
or
If you made a backup of your ROM in xRecovery, you can restore it.
OK when i tried to go thru SEUS it said that i had the most up to date software and gave no option for a repair/reinstall. I uninstalled SEUS and am reinstalling it now
OK I still get the same message when trying to use SEUS. What can i do differently? Plz help i want my phone back

[Q] Flashing Custom ROMs

I want to know if there is any other way to flash a cusom ROM, like Froyo or Gingerbread without using xRecovery, because I can't boot into recovery.
Tried to install xRecovery using the app, but it doesn't let me install it. Tried the manual way, I've put the 3 files in System/Bin and it still does not boot into recovery.
I have a 1.6 firmware and I can't install official 2.1 because it gives me an error when I try to install it via PC Companion and when I try to flash a firmware using FlashTool, my phone won't boot. The only firmware I can flash is from ROOT_F3V3 so that my phone can boot.
I have no Repair button in SEUS, it just sais that there is no software update for my phone and the only choice I have is Finish. This happens for no matter what firmware I install.
Can you help me please?
what basebrand are you running and what generic rom are you flashing with your flashtool? Also make you have the latest flashtool...it should isntall xrecovery for you

baseband 1.0.14, build R1FA014, flashtool 0.2.8.0
Installed xrecovery using flashtool and I even gave the command to boot recovery from flashtool but it won't. It boots normaly
I've flashed: X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897; X10a_1.0_2_1_A_0_435; X10i_2.0.A.0.504_Generic; nordic flasher for R2BA026, and I think I tried some other, but I don't remember.
this may sound silly...but are you constantly tapping the "back" button when the sony ericsson logo pops up

Everything installed, I have read all the important posts regarding the usage of xRecovery. That is why I'm asking for another way to flash custom ROM's, because I tried everything from the forum posts, everything that would normaly work, and I get zero results
You don't have to put those 3 files in system/bin.Just find system/bin with your Root Explore,check on all 9 permissions of this folder and then go to the XR app and install it.If you still can't boot into XR after installation,maybe you should try Xrecovery 0.0.1.version.It always works for those people who can't boot into XR just like you.Good luck.Sorry for my bad English.
Hmmm...sorry i couldnt be more help...the only thing i could possibly think of is flashing a new basebrand AND firmware at once...hopefully you get this issue resolved later. Best of luck

Try factory reset if stil doesnt work then you must flash original SE rom and do everything from begining.
Or maybe if some one from mini thread make you flash zip for sh file.

Please answer this question, what the heck did you downgrade, I hope you just downgraded the kernal.
What method of rooting did you use?
But first, what is your phone's:
firmware: 2.1 or 2.3
baseband
do you have xrecovery
If you would like help, I and others are willing to help you. Just post again and I will post links of the rooting method and guides to flashtool.
It happened to me... I was trying to install Jerpelea's latest 2.3.5, and suddenly my phone keeps rebooting from SE logo.. I can go into xrecovery, but when I try to recover a backup, it says it can't mount the sdcard...
What can i do?
Is my phone ruined??
Tks..
Have you installed latest SE adb driver?
Unplug your battery about 3 minutes then plug it again, use flashtool to flash 2.1 firmware, then connect it and press back button till green light appear, let it alone till finished.
Root your 2.1 fw, install recovery, and simply flash wolf 2.3 ROM, unplug your battery, plug it again and flash baseband 71.
Now your phone should be boot properly.
You almost cant break your X10 by flashing anything, cause bootloader is locked.

You cant ruin it mate.
Just install your recovery again, try with apk.
I think you have old recovery, cause this problem appear when gb just released, and now fixed.
You can find topic about it on X10 android development forums, Z already fixed it.

Ok, but the problem is: I can't start the phone, and the sdcard doesn't mount properly so I can recover a backup....
How can I install de recovery again without starting the phone?
You're right, I had the old recovery installed...
EDIT: And now I cant even go into recovery... It's fully stuck on SE logo... Damn!
Turn phone off. Boot pc companion. Goto update service. Click update. Says no phone found. Click repair option. Follow steps on screen. It will flash latest SE firmware. Root. Install recovery. Restore your backup on your now mountable sd card. Done you can't break this phone, can always restore through pc companion.

Flash stock firmware from flashtool, if you dont know about how to use flashtool.
Just go to x10 android development forum, find thread about flashtool by androxyde.
Dont be so worry about your phone, you cant break it with flashing ROM or kernel.

Gimme reply if got result alright?
Whitefang
open flashtool with x10 plugged in
click ADVANCED then RECOVERY, and choose SET DEFAULT RECOVERY
choose the recovery you want from the list that pops up
now click ADVANCED, REBOOT, RECOVERY and choose REBOOT DEFAULT VERSION
that will adb the phone to reboot to xRecovery or CWM whichever you chose
