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
i can flash the firmware in flash mode...but can i flash the ROM?

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).

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)

Eyama! I have tried rooting my phone using super oneclick but it display an error message "exec system/bin/sh failed no such file or directory(2) "
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.

To stop all those questions about how to install one of the pre rooted 2.3.3 ROMs properly I decided to make this HOW-TO to keep the threads clear.
INGREDIENTS:
All you need is:
1 Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 device
1 Computer
PREPERATIONS:
At the moment, there is NO method to root your X10 after you have installed 2.3.3. So if you installed 2.3.3 via SEUS, PCC oder Flashtool the first step you have to do is to get a rooted stock 2.1 ROM on your device. To avoid errors I would recommend this step to everyone
INSTALL 2.1, root it and install xRecovery:
Get the newest Flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746&highlight=flashtool
Get one of the stock 2.1 ROMS (same thread as flashtool)
Extract the ROM-file to your Flashtool/firmware folder
Start flashtool
Click on "Flash" and select the firmware you just downloaded
Click OK
Turn off your device
Connect cable to PC NOT TO YOUR X10
Press Back-Button on your X10 and connect cable
Wait flashtool to finish
After that, turn on phone and activate "Unknown sources" and "USB-Debugging" under Application-Settings
Hit "Root" in flashtool
Wait for flashtool to finish and X10 to reboot
After reboot hit "Ask root permissions" in flashtool and select allow on you X10 (a popup will appear)
Hit "xrecovery" in flashtool
GETTING ROOTED 2.3.3 ON YOUR DEVICE:
First of all, you have to download the ROM you wish to install. This step should be clear, but you never know . Every of those ROMs comes in 2 parts. 1 update.zip and 1 kernel+baseband file for flashtool.
Copy the update.zip (name can be different!!) to your X10s SDcard
Reboot X10 into xRecovery (Keep hitting Back-button while X10 restarts)
Select "Factory Reset"
Select "Wipe Cache Partition"
Select "Advanced options" -> "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Select "Install custom zip" and select the zipfile you copied to your SDCard
Wait for xRecovery to finish
After that, DONT REBOOT OR DO ANYTHING, JUST REMOVE ANY CONNECTED CABLE AND REMOVE BATTERY TO TURN OF PHONE
EXTRACT the kernel+baseband-File into flashtools firmware folder
Hit "Flash" in flashtool and select the copied kernel+baseband
Now insert battery again (make sure no cable is connected. Otherwise the phone will start into charging mode and you have to start again)
Press Back-button and connect cable
Wait for flashtool to finish
Start X10 and enjoy your rooted 2.3.3!
Hope this helps
nice job man
just came home to try the new rom and i see this thanks

I'm currently using Wolf's ROM and I can tell you there's definitely a difference. The speed is absolutely amazing. He's made some optimization tweaks and there's no lag at all. Everything runs totally smooth and the battery life is astonishing.

Doh!! I hadnt unpacked the bundle with winrar so flash obviously wouldnt work!!
Hi, i have a noob question:
I'm now on official 2.1 update 1 and rooted with Z4root a while ago.
When i start this tutorial, do i have to unroot first so i can root again with the above method or can i just start from step 1?
I think you can just start with installing xrecovery.
Ok, I started the tutorial and installed xrecovery with flashtool. But when i get to the step to select the update.zip file on my sd card, it says the card is not accessable. So i Restored my phone and booted it up to check if i can check my sd card via astro, everything works just fine. So i Started the tutorial all over, even reinstalled xrecovery and rooted again. I did this already 4 times now ,but still the same problem in recovery, what do i have to do ta access the sd card with the update on it in xrecovery?
Thanks

How long does the process of restoring back to stock 2.1 take? I've been waiting 10min and its stuck on "flashing loader" I'm getting scared....
You forgot to mention ONE important step: having SEUS installed in order to have flashing driver required for flashtool.
question here,
i was using stock 2.3 last couple of day, yesterday i decided to flash custom rom so i followed this thread's guide. however how i stuck at stock rom 2.1 because i can't gain root access! this is weird i been using flashtool and z4root none of them giving me root access. anybody have any idea what's this problem?
thanks in advance!
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.

HellO I need help ... I am having neov with unlocked bootloader, rooted , and CWM installed
ON my neov Yesterday I tried installing Night-elf kernel experimental lite v9.6 through flashtool and i failed ..although the process was successful ..whenever i turned on my phone ..the sony ericsson logo flashed and nothing happened . Then i used flastool to get back to my stock android ICS ver 4.1.B.0.431. Now my problems are :
1. MY phone doesnt go in to the recovery when i press the volume down button when the sony logo appears
2. My phone doesnt recognize itself as rooted ..but i can go to the root directory when i use ES file explorer.
3. I Repaired my phone using PC companion but still the same problem.
4. I tried to root my phone again using doomlords method but it failed and without it i cannot install CWM
1. with CWM installed,i press back button to go recovery.Night elf kernel have built-in CWM installed.
2. you have to root your phone.My ES file explorer didnt go to root directory even my phone rooted,it always show SD card content.
3. Dont understand what you repair for
4. Make sure you have the right file for install CWM.there is for GB and ICS...

I went back to my stock rom so that means i hv a stock kernel ..and in stock kernel u hv to press the volume down button to go into recovery..and ES file explorer does go into the root directory .Go to ES file explorer -Settings -there will be a option called go up to root ..check that ..and press the back button it will go to ur root directory ..and i do have the ICS files for installing CWM ...
I never use that type of recovery,i m always use CWM and back button.
I ll tel my step :
1- make sure have all files and correct setting to remember while rooting and install CWM.
2- root the phone
3- install CWM
its easier...sorry not link to the right thread,it s already in the sticky.
btw...how you unlock your BL?test point or official way?

Thanks so much dude that did it ..i had kernel problem .. thank you so much :victory:
How did you expect it to have root and recovery, AFTER you did a clean flash with flashtool?
Se phones doesn't have recovery partition. So no recovery on stock.

You need to root again, using Madyfish method.And when you enter doomlord tool, close flashtool or you will have errors.. (took me 1H to discover this ...)
