Hi I'm trying to install zkernel on baseband 67. I have done a fresh install using seus. rooted it via flash tool reboot, then installed busy box from market and then installed xrecovery with flash tool and installed the zkernel with flash custom zip. When the phone boots the kernel is still the same. I can't see what in doing wrong.

out of personal experience ive noticed that using the freexperia version of xrecovery gives me problems wen installing kernels. but i dont have the same issue wen i use zdzihus xrecovery. try installing Z's version and it shud work.
you can use freexperia recovery to install zkernel, just flash this chargemon after kernel install, chargemon_FXRec_default_CUSTOM.zip, can be found here:

Dont forget to thank DooMLoRD for his help fixing all guides and howto's
I just installed xrecovery and it worked perfect, and I helped doomlord test his back to stock method for people with broken usb connectors, so I already have loads of respect and thanks for him and thanks to you guys for pointing me in the right direction.

I'm having trouble accessing xrecovery on my phone. I have the latest version of busybox and the latest xrecovery too. I flashed a custom kernel from zdzihu and ever since I can't access it. Anybody got any ideas to fix this?

I had the exact problem earlier this week after installing a custom kernel. There is a way to reinstall xrecovery without using flashtool. It basically involves moving the files from xrecovery.zip to the correct system/ files.
Go into the development forum and look for the xrecovery thread. Someone has upload the correct files on the last couple of pages bin.zip and xbin.zip. You simply move(overwrite) the two file contained in bin.zip to the system/bin folder...then move(overwrite) the two files contained in xbin.zip to the system/xbin folder..
Thanks it worked =)

so, this is the deal:
i dont know how to use flashtool.
My PC's system requirments for flashtool are more than enough.
i just dont understand how to use it.
i keep getting stuck at "not detected" or something.
ANYWAY, LEAVE THAT! i dont care about flashtool.
i updated my firmware 1.6 to 2.1
then i rooted my 2.1
then installed busybox
then installed xrecovery
then wiped everything
then installed many firmware 2.1 custom roms
HOWEVER, i find that i can only install 2.1 custom roms. i cant install 2.3 or higher custom roms. My phone keeps restarting automatically if i did that. so the latest CM mode i can use is 6.1.3 ! which is sad.
how can i get 2.3 or higher custom roms to work
on my phone without endless-automatic-restart-loop ???
pls tell me. thankyou.

thanks but i cant use PCcompanion or SEUS because i will end up with 2.3. i dont know how to root 2.3 without flashtool (REMEMBER I TOLD YOU I CANNOT USE FLASHTOOL). but i can root my current 2.1 with z4root app. then i have xrecovery.
is there a (.zip) archive that i can install via xrecovery to get baseband 2.1.71 ?
No, a far as I can remember all basebands are only flashable through xrecovery.
You better get working on learning how to use flashtool...its the only way to do anything with the x10
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
If u install 2.1.71 bb u would have to be on 2.3 anyway not 2.1. Greg right pal u need flashtool in ur life it the only way to flash baseband currently for our phones. Follow flashtool-noobs guide you'll be fine (no need for z4 root its old, flashtool has one-click root)

hey guys, i think i found a way to root my 2.3 and install xrecovery. then i would not have the baseband problem (i had the baseband problem when i rooted 2.1 directly). It is using this software called superoneclick for the computer (i downloaded and opened it and saw a root button). does it work? if it works then it means that I do not have to learn how to use flashtool after all. I could get baseband 2.1.71 and install CM7 mod using xrecovery. No need of flashtool YAY! does the software superoneclick work for x10 if i use SEUS update to 2.3.3? :

I'm not sure whether that would work or not, but the flashtool nowadays has already evolved to an all-in-one tool, and you can do anything with it.
My recommended steps are:
1. Flash to stock 2.3.3 through flashtool/SEUS
2. Boot up phone and turn on USB debugging and unknown sources.
3. Open flashtool, you should be able to access the Advanced menu--->Root--->zergRush exploit to root your 2.3.3
4. Ask root perms then hit install xRecovery
5. Flash custom rom
These are always steps that I would recommend to people who are not too familiar with flashing.
I couldn't get superoneclick to work on gb think it was on eclair I managed to use it. Believe me USE FLASHTOOL.

help ps
hey everyone,
everyone seem to have no trouble with flashtool. but i have because everytime i try to root my x10 2.3.3, i only get a half-rooted phone with superuser, busybox and everything installed but no root access. i used FlashTool 0.2.9.1 and tried to root my x10 2.3.3 using the aZuZu Root Method (reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1196421)
so, now i am using a rooted 2.1 (i rooted with z4root not with flashtool) and installed xrecovery and custom rom 2.1. i want to use custom rom 2.3 but for that i need to root 2.3 but i cant root 2.3 with flashtool.
but when i see a root button available, i also see a button 'ask root perms' button. what is the difference?
thanks in advance.

U may be able to install xrec as a zip with root explorer. You'd have to place it in right place I'm system somewhere and set permissions for it manually (not sure how to do this but a member called Milton.bain has dome it few times try asking him for help)

Hello guys,
I´m new here, and this is my first thread. Yes, I am a noob and I hate myself. And I have searched for the answer to this question myself, however, I could not find it, so if anybody could please steer me in the right direction ´Thanks´ will be obtained by all who have helped
I have:
Xperia X10i Dutch T-mobile branded.
I have rooted it WITHOUT opening bootloader.
It has Busybox from the market on it, it has Titanium backup on it. It has the Xrecovery 0.3.zip on the sdcard.
But this first sentence in the installationprocess puzzles me:
A: Install the zip package via your current recovery
How can I do this? As far as I know, I have no recovery program installed, and if I do, I am not aware of it. Do I need to install some other recovery in order to install Xrecovery 0.3, or am I missing a vital piece of information here?
(I tried using the installer app. It gave me 3 red crosses, saying the first file was already there and the other two were 'read-only' if I am not mistaking)
Any help is appreciated
Did you use flashtool to root your phone?

Also you can check if you have xrecovery by rebooting your phone and when boot hit back button until it enters xrecovery.

No, I used a small program named Root_Unroot Sony 1.5
It was a really quick and easy thing, just had to open the program, turn USB debugging on, enable install other apps, put screen time on more then 1 minute, plug in the phone, and press Root on the program. After that it had Superuser and some version of Busybox installed. I added Titanium Backup and downloaded Busybox from the market again, since the thread on Xrecovery was very clear that I needed that version.
OK than you need to use flashtool.

Like said earlier,you should install the latest flashtool as youll probably need that later.
Then you can install recovery and do a lot more.On my phone,when I switch it on,I wait for the blue led to light up,then I press the back button to enter xrecovery...

Ok thanks guys,
When I get home I will try Flashtool. I already have it op my pc but because I used that other program to Root I haven't used it yet.

Kernels can only be flashed from a PC with flashtool, WiFi fix zips are installed with xrecovery. Both kernel and WiFi fix must be matching pair.
From my XPERIA X10S v8.2 on kCernel @ 1.19ghz
Kernels released these days are ftf files... For flashing with flash tool... But if you have an old version, it could be a zip file. I had dk v6 zip file earlier. Try to download latest files. Also flash kernel first, then the ROM, then addons.., but do switch phone on before installing WiFi modules in any case.

When you flash v8 final of x10s you have to install the correct wifi modules for your kernel
If your using Doomlords v6 take a look at his thread and you will see the respective wifi modules zip files
if you need any help with x10s rom please post in HERE or HERE

hi sir... I also encountered the same problem... i would like to ask how to install the wifi? is there a file needed to install the wifi?
Which kernel do you use?
WiFi drivers come with almost all kernels, if you use stock kernel, no need for WiFi drivers
As soon as I know what kernel you are using ill sort the driver for you ;-)
