Can your phone still bootup correctly ? If yes try an older version of flashtool had this issue flash kernel upgrade turn on debbuging and unknown source and start from there

Go to HERE and download Flashtool 0.4.2.0, with it, you can root, install xrecovery and unlock bootloader, if you wish.
You need have android 2.3.3, and don´t downgrade kernel.
If you want, install stock firmware.
It´s easy.
right, so do i just click install recovery?
because i rooted it, exactly like that, im running busybox version 1.8.4 or something like that, someone told me it automatically installed xrecovery when i rooted it... is this true? thanks
When you root phone with flashtool, it just root your phone. For install xrecovery you need click on install xrecovery, and when it over, you have xrecovery installed.

Yes, you click the install recovery button. And no, when you root your phone, xrecovery is not added.
A little reminder also, you will never break the x10 by flashing to many times. So every time you run into something like accidentally downgrading kernels, just flash stock FW and start over. Again, the only true way for someone to permanently damage the x10 is only by damaging the USB port. So hold dear to that little port.
Hope you resolve your issue brah. Peace
is there anyway i can run flashtool and get it to recognise my phone without having to flash kernels?

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.

Did you download and install Sony PC Companion or Sony Update Service?
If not, do it, it will have the proper drivers and you will probably need it sooner or later anyway
I've always found the driver install to be buggy. Install it a few times checking X10 mini/pro and X8 adb driver boxes and flashmode drover boxes. Took me about 6 runs last time but it works now

Leave your phone unplugged from the computer when you ask SEUS to search for an update. Since it won't recognise the phone it won't find any updates and assume your phone it broken, so it will give you a repair link.
Click on it, and follow the steps.

This is stock firmware for the E10i for flashtool, move it to the firmwares folder and flash it like you would flash a kernel.
It's 2.1.1.A.0.6, baseband *4015, with a loader.sin for unlocked bootloader.
Let me know if your phone works after flashing this.

Don't know, I think you did something wrong somewhere, but glad it helped.
On the ICS kernel, only flash ICS-roms that state they need that kernel.
If you want Gingerbread, flash the nAa-GB kernel.

TUTORIAL FOR UPDATEING P500 to GB(baseband update), ROOT THE PHONE, FLASH CWM RECOVERY
I made this tutorial because i took me 4 h of intensive searching for the methods above ,and i hate to search for this kind of things and im sure that im not the only one , with this thread i will redirect you to the topics that you will need to follow, or i will explain to you what to do.
FIRST: Install the USB drivers from http://www.lg.com/us/support/mobile-support download PC Sync, we need the app for the latest USB drivers, or download the USB drivers alone.
Then go in your mobile, in Settings/Applications/Development and enable USB Debugging then go back under Applications Settings make sure that you got checked Unknown Sources
NOTE: I`M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MY BUILD MAY CAUSE TO YOUR DEVICE, TRY IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!
NOR ME OR OTHER DEVELOPER CAN NOT BE NAMED AS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MALFUNCTION/S THAT MAY OCCUR.And also that i dont have a P500 i have a Galaxy Mini and i build just for tass brunch
You are a noob? you dont know really where to start? ###DONT PANIC###!!!! first step is to check if you got android 2.3.3, witch is also known as Gingerbread, (how you do that? you go into Settings/About Phone and scroll down and you will see Android version.)
If you are on Android 2.2.2 or older then you must follow THIS simple tutorial, and you will update your phone to ver 2.3.3 and the baseband to so you can skip step one.
1. GB Baseband update
Now, if you got Gingerbread you must make sure that you got the latest baseband so it will work with all the custom roms that you are planing to install. Check THIS topic for that,and on the buttom you will se an image, if that basebang is identic with yours or similar, skip this step if NOT then download the P500-v20G-baseband.7z on the buttom of the page, and read to post so you will know what to do...its so easy.
TIP: Will will get 2 popups with OK and CANCEL, and the OK Button its blocked, dont press CANCEL wait 4-7 seconds before you can press the OK.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. GB ROOT
First you must download the SuperOneClick app , extract it where you want, the run the SuperOneClick.exe from the folder, the app will open and then select ROOT , in the right, you will should see a succes message or ok in the console, reboot your phone then you will see in the menu the Super User icon.
TIP: If get you and error, then pull the battery out of the phone, disconnect the USB cable the power the phone back on and connect the cable and try again

3. CWM Recovery

Rom manager caused boot loop
Hi.. I installed Rom Manager onto my friends p500 (it was rooted earlier). but custom recovery was not installed..so i flashed the latest cmw through the rom manager app.
After which i selected to create a back up.. The mobile restarted (to enter the cmw recovery for backup operation).. but soon after the restart the mobile got stuck at the LG Logo.. I waited for about 10mins and it did not respond. Then i removed the battery and then power it on.. but it is stuck at the LG logo.. I am unable to get into custom recovery.. (power+home+volumeup).
Also, Mobile is not detected when connected to pc.

What did you try to do with flashtool? Did you find and download 2.1-firmware for your phone that needed it?
Using flashtool to update your phone is just as easy as SEUS or PC Companion, but without the restriction that you can't update your phone

What a weird thing, when I checked my About Phone setting, I saw it was updated to 2.1 without me knowing. But now I have a problem, I can't use my wi-fi. It says 'Unable to scan networks.' I read I should re-flash, but I tried using flashtool, I put the firmware files on the firmware folder but when I flash, I do not see any selection though. I installed the latest flashtool.... though I cannot find the flash.bat -> I don't know if that's the right .bat name

There is no .bat with flashtool, it's a User-Interface driven program, just start the flashtool executable.
