I know this has been covered several times on multiple posts so i've tried every possibility i can find before posting this, i managed to install xrecover and CM7 onto an old X8 first time round no problems at all.
I moved onto my main phone the x10 MP and i've tried everything,the manual copy files into system/bin (canging the permissions) using flashtool to install busybox and xrecovery, and using the apk's recommended on here. None of which are allowing me to boot into the xrecovery menu. i genuinely am stumped. i've tried repairing via seus etc. I've also tried xrecover0.3 and the xrecovery mini version aswell. also both pressing the back button and sliding the phone open and closed a few times.
Any suggestions as im bored of stock eclair and golauncher now
1)go into settings>applications>development>turn on usb debugging .
2)connect your phone with pc through the usb and then select charge phone option on your phone .
3)extract the rar file and open the superoneclick
4)click on the root option
5)if no errors occur your phone is now rooted with xrecovery installed..
6)then reboot and press the back key when the se logo appers and you will in xrecovery menu.

if you find my post usefull pls dont forget to click the thanks button
I originally used S..O.C to root my fone,didnt know that automatically installs xrecovery too. So best bit is unroot and re-root? Will try and get back to you. Thanks
as i suspected,superoneclick does not appear to install xrecovery,only busybox, so am nowhere nearer resolving this. any got any more ideas?
Pls try the superoneclick which I have provided you In the link above ... it installs xrecovery ....
k
open the installxrec.bat file in the superoneclick folder it will root your phone first then install the xrecovery.
reboot and then press the back button 3-4 times when you see the se logo at boot you will be in the xrecovery menu .
dont forget to click the thanks button....
SEXperia X10 mini pro, adroid 2.1 update 1 on tmobile. Baseband *****015 kernek 2.6.29
i've tried all these methods,scripts,manually moving the busybox,chargmon and xrecovery files to system/bin.
when my fone boots I get just sony ericcson in white writing, then a second one which is the animated sony ericsson logo etc, pressin back all the way through both of these,none of the methods work even after unrooting,repairing and then starting clean. Always says its installed but never lets me access it. Seriously,what am I missing??? The X8 was soooooo easy to do
do one thing now, reinstall the official rom through the se update service or se pc companion software after installation run the installxrec.bat file from the superoneclick folder which i have provided in the link above it will definately do the trick as i was also getting this same problem..
Ok I will try one last time when I get home from work,if it doesnt work I give up an will cry myself to sleep. Iif it does,im going to hunt you down and kiss u LOL
It woooooooooooooooooorked thats the same scrtipt i used from looks of the .bat file,not sure whats different but thanks,just hope CM9 is worth all this hassle lol
Just click the thanks button no need to hunt me down....
I'm having the same issue. I got the SOC version without the installxrec.bat file. Can someone upload it again please?

Just use flashtool to do it all, root, install xrec... it will do the necessary reboots and you can use flashtool to tell the phone to boot into recovery too, it's so much easier...

Did you use flashtool to root your device or superoneclick?
The phone needs a reboot after rooting, and one after installing busybox, flashtool will do that automatically, superoneclick won't.
Even when it says Root Access Allowed it is no guarantee that it will work.
Did you get a message on your phone to allow root-access to a service requesting that? you should tick the remember-tickbox and the yes-button.
You will only see that message if your phone is not on the lock-screen.

Hee fellows i have a little problem while routing my xperia x10i
i'm following a nice guide from synlar it's called: Newbies Guide to Rooting X10 and giving you the newest firmware!
"Note: This next step can take a while!
Open step2.cmd, don't press anything!
On the phone, a list of buttons will come up eventually. Press the 6th option (something about update from SDcard). ONLY PRESS IT ONCE!
Leave your phone alone. Go to the washroom or eat a snack.
You'll see the progress on the phone screen, as it installs the package. Leave everything alone."
im getting an error about that my device cant be found.
check image:
can't upload a picture of the error something with newb user
- I changed the device id in the text file
- tried it on 2 different pc's
and the flashing worked great i put the phone in debug mode i see in the left corner an exclamation but it won't work
please help me
hey try this its the only thing i got to work it was fast and quick and all you need is x10root.apk,
Win 7 x64
AT&T Xperia X10a
I was trying to root my X10a, using the one click method (X10Root.1.0.8.apk), and got hung up when trying to side load the app. ADB nor SWM could find the device. I finally got ADB to find my device. Here is how I got it to work.
Xperia- have debugging on
- have titanium backup free installed
- have busy body free installed
- do NOT mound SD
- have allow mock locations on
- have stay awake on
PC- have pc companion installed BUT terminate the process
- have the android sdk installed. (when installing I just installed everything)
- have android-sdk_r07-windows folder in C:/
- I changed the folder name above (android-sdk_r07-windows) to sdk
- have X10Root.1.0.8.apk file in C:/
- if google calander sync installed exit it.
With X10 plugged in and all above met.
Open command prompt
Type or copy and paste(if you changed folder name) cd C:\sdk\tools
Hit enter
Type adb kill-server
Hit enter
Type adb shell
Hit enter
Type adb install C:\X10Root.1.0.8.apk
Hit enter
Now the app should be on your phone. I hope this helps some AT&T X10 owners out there. Everyone keep up the good work.
thank u for ur reply im going to test it tonight when im home from work
Will let you know

I would now just run SEUS then the One Click Root. That guide only gets you to 023 so when you've run steps 1-5 your phone should have been debranded, so running SEUS will update you to 026.
so according to your post i have to connect phone then update via seus, and then what i need to download apk en how do i get that working on my phone
thanks for reply

Yes, if the first steps were successful, run seus then download the one click root apk.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
1. Update phone with SEUS to latest version (probably 026)
2. Root with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7913568&postcount=338

Im having some issues with my x10i that i put Nordic 2.1 on a few weeks ago.
Some apps fail to open every now and then, and the stock android alarm doesnt work (the app seems fine, but when the alarm goes off there is no noise, yes ive tried volume etc, yes ive tried downloading a 3rd party alarm)
So id like to put a fresh 2.1 rom on, ive tried these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825675
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827065
But i cant get them to work, the .bat files of the flasher fail at the connection stage (2nd step after selecting windows vr)
Im having a lot of problems,, main one is that i cant install the driver for the x10 in flash mode, windows cant find the driver.
If anyone could kindly tell me exactly what i have to do, starting from connecting the x10 to a virgin win xp (no drivers installed for the x10), id be happy to donate $20USD into your paypal account
Ok let me see if I can help you a title here....
1. Root your device using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=453551&d=1291188836 its really simple and fast...
2. Once you've root your device use this application http://www.mediafire.com/?ewf9e41ybw2eazz
to install the Xrecovery menu on your phone... It's very simple as well....
3. Download this file http://hotfile.com/dl/87564842/7e80127/SE_update-shipped-full.zip.html
and save it to your SD Card into any folder you want, I recommend you to do it in a new one with any name you want, that will make easier the next step...
4. Reboot your phone and right after the white letters with Sony Ericsson logo appear press the back key a few times , if the Xrecovery menu has been installed correctly you will see a weird image of and Android with troll face lol... and a bunch of options like reboot, install update zip etc....
5. Choose Install Custom Zip and then go to the folder you created with the downloaded zip file... from step 3... Then select it and click in yes... Wait for a few minutes and when the phone tells you done click on reboot and wait for the firmware to load...
6. Enjoy the SE 2.1 firmware with JIT enabled.

Put XP in safemode, run seus, put phone in flashmode when prompted so it installs the drivers, try the flashtool again, while in safemode on XP.
Or if you'd rather go for something simpler.. try rooting (if you haven't already) then follow this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828163 to flash to global generic.
i cant even get the phone to tunr on atm, but if i get it to work ill send $20 ur way jimbo, thanks everyone
jimbo, actually your links are broken so i cant follow your guide cause u just say "use this application" - but link is down
ok, i found a new link for that one, but i cant install it cause when i connect my phone to the pc, it just starts charging, it wont mount the sd??
"If anyone could kindly tell me exactly what i have to do, starting from connecting the x10 to a virgin win xp..."
ok i put xrecovery on the sd card through a pc, installed the app and ran the app, clicked Install Xrevovery, error
already have root access, xreovery was granted superuser, but doesnt work
tried the new root app just in case, it just switched off my phone... none of this works
does anyone live in Sydney and can do it for me????
Have you installed BusyBox too?
Hi All,
I rooted the phone using z4mod, no problems.
I extracted the three files chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar and copied them using Root Explorer, set 777 permissions.
Phone rebooted okay, but holding back button few times after SE logo wasn't working, Re-installed Busybox from /system/xbin to /system/bin and now when phone is turned on, it comes up to Sony Ericsson then to the SE Logo screen, then it reboots back to Sony Ericsson and it does this continually until I pull battery out.
Is this fixable and please how do I go about it and if there is a thread already about this can I be directed to that page.
Thank You,
Jim

Thanks, but that didn't work, it was failing as the phone does reboot itself in a continual loop. I used the PC Software companion and performed a repair. All fixed. So I will start again. I have found the xrecovery.apk since, I will see how this goes.
Have installed the xrecovery with the three green ticks. Phone still won't boot into xrecovery. At least it boots okay now, just not into xrecovery pressing the back button.
My firmware is 2.0.x.x.x, does this need to be updated to 2.1.1.x.x?
Or is there a thread here that explains how to do this?
Thanks,

Automated script i used to root and install xrecovery on my phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913136
credits Mikehvl
just close the SuperOneClick window if you have rooted your phone when it pops up and continue following the instructions.
You are a legend, that actually worked.
I tried so many other ways, and the xRecovery gave me the three green ticks, etc. Still couldn't boot into it, so I used your script and it works fine.
Can I ask what was I doing wrong?
Was it maybe I was using the incorrect version of xRecovery? I tried .02a and .02b, .03, none of those worked.
Thank you, you just made it too easy.
My phone is actually 2.0.A.0.504 U20A. Now to try some ROMS if I can find any for U20a.

Could have been a permissions problem, a busybox problem, I have no clue lol. In terms of roms, the custom roms are generic so they work for the u20a. I currently use CM6 3.4 and love it.

HELP!!! x10minipro xcyanogen v3.4 launcher pro crashing!
I have just rooted my phone and installed xcyanogen v3.4 for the x10mini pro.
Everything worked fine, I have even managed to go into xRecovery after the installation and reinstalled xcyanogen three times.
This morning, I updated my Busybox from busybox installer from Market. Installed V1.19 busybox, I guess the previous one installed with cynogenmod6 was v1.15 then
*The phone reboots suddenly, and hence after
*I only have an Unlock screen that works, displaying clock, charging stats etc with NO SIGNALS
*If i unlock the screen, it will have a DSOmanager force close window followed by unlimited LauncherPro force close windows
*I am UNABLE to go into xRecovery to reinstall the system, unalbe to do anything now.
I am a newbie, any pros would help me pls? Thanks so much!
I say mate if you can't get back into xRecovery you migh need to flash the phone.
Let's hope someone else here has an easier solution for you dude.
I had to reflash mine when it was rebooting itself.
Ok, so here is what I did:
I have a X10i with R1FB001 firmware with Android 1.6 and I flashed a X10i_2.0.A.0.504_Generic.ftf 2.1 firmware using X10FlashTool. Now I can’t turn on my phone anymore. First, it vibrated when I pressed the power button, but it remained turned off.
Sometimes when I plug it into my computer, if I let it long enough, it connects in flash menu and the LED turns green. I tried to install other firmware using SEUS but It sais I already have the latest software and I do not have a reinstall button.
I also flashed a X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897 2.1 firmware but I get the same results. Also, despite the fact that I let it charge over the night, when I press the power button, the LED indicates that there is no battery.
Did I bircked my phone? Can someone help me?

Use the repair option on SEUS, should guide you though it.
Found it, flashed it, now it works. Thank you a lot. I got a bit scared. The only thing is that I am stuck at 1.6. I have rooted it, installed the files from xRecovery, but when I want to enter the recovery menu, and press back, noting happens.
But this is another problem. Should I start another topic?
Anyway, thank you a lot. You saved me!

well you're back on 1.6 why not just update to 2.1 with seus or pc companion?
I think you did't install xrecovery the right way. Try it again or you could try and drop the xrecovery files in system/bin with root explorer
PC Companion and SEUS say that I have allready the latest software (wich I don't). As for xRecovery, I used the manual method with root explorer from the begining, because I couldn't install xRecovery as an app. I also tried to boot recovery with Quick Boot, but nothing. Any other ideas?

Ok try this: install root explorer, open root explorer and go to /system. Change R/O into R/W(the button in the right top corner) search for a file called build.prop and long press it untill a menu pops up. Select 'open in text editor'. Scroll down to:
ro.semc.version.cust=XXXX-XXXX
ro.product.name=x10_XXXX-XXXX
(the XXXX-XXXX resamble some numbers)
and change both the XXXX-XXXX into 1232-9897 press menu, save & exit.
Reboot the phone and start up pc companion. Choose in pc companion the update option and choose repair and follow the procedure.\

Strange, i've flashed my x10 several times with this routine. After changing the numers in the build.prop did you restart the phone before you repaired it with pc companion?
I forgot to say this: before you repair the phone with pc companion go to windows explorer and go to this location(make sure you can see hidden files & folders):
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\
And delete the folder called db

PC Companion does not repair the phone. I go through the process, but somewere it gives me a Installation error saying ”unable to install or start phone software update components”.
In Build.prop I don't have ro.semc.version.cust and ro.product.name at all.
I only have ro.semc.version.fs that has the XXXX-XXXX number.
I don't have the db folder in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\ although I can see hidden files. I deleted the db folder from Update Service, but SEUS still says that there is no software update for my phone. And I don't have a Repair option in SEUS. I will try installing an older version, maybe it will give me the option to Repair
So... other ways to flash a custom ROM? Or some other way to enter the recovery menu?

Ok, I did it and now PC companion says that I have a new software update. If I check from the phone menu, it also says that a 2.1 update is available and that I should install it from my PC.
When I click the update in PC companion and arrive at the second step, ”Prepare”, it is downloading something and then it says "Preparing your computer for software update" But it doesn't finish the step and it gives me a "Instalation error: unable to install or start phone software update components". Is this because of the phone or it has something to do with my laptop? I reinstalled PC companion, but I get the same thing.
I am begining to lose my fate and I can't stand the 1.6 timescaped system anymore. I want stock Froyo or Gingerbread (or at least official 2.1)

hm okay, we are a step closer did you also try it with SEUS? (dont forget: if you are going to use seus you have to delte the db folder in C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service)
Or can you try it on a different computer?

Tried with SEUS, still says I already have the latest software, and it shows me no repair button (Deleted the db folder, although, when I start SEUS, db comes back as it was before. I deleted it after I started SEUS, but I can't delete 2 files, because they are being used by the program). I am using the version 2.11.1.9 and tried to install a earlier version, but even that installs this one.
Tried from another computer but same results.
Any other tricks? Maybe some that can help me install a custom ROM?
If your an at & t user this maybe of interest to you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012380 or perhaps just download the flashtool (follow a link in my sig) and a global generic 2.1 rom from xda and flash it with flashtool.

Vodafone user, Romania!
Ok cool, the second link I provided should be good for you to use. Its a generic 2.1 pre rooted with xrecovery pre installed. You need the flash tool to install it and you can find a link to it through my guide in my signiture and a link to the flashtool for noobs thread. You should be ok after

Ok, but what about this: "You need rooted 2.1 rom with xRecovery working to install this firmware! If you already flashed the latest firmware with SEUS, please downgrade OR root it using THIS thread." ??
And this: "3. Boot into xRecovery and install update.zip" ? I can't install xRecovery either. Tried also to reboot recovery from flashtool, but does not work. (I have done all the steps with manual instalation of xRecovery files)
I have 1.6, I flashed a 2.0.A.0.504_Generic.ftf before, but after doing so, my phone does not turn on. I will try your method and post the result. Hopefully it works.
Hi chaps,
After trying a gingerbread rom and finding it too slow, I see most other roms require a custom kernel for best performance (and being able to use most other roms!)
Anyway, I'm running through the tutorials in the stickied Guide in this forum and during the unlocking the bootloader instructions it keeps telling me to switch my phone off.
Now it doesn't mention having the phone plugged into the PC at any point in that section but I assume you have to for the SE Tweaker tool to work .
My problem is that in the first couple of steps I'm told to turn my phone off yet as it's connected to the PC, it keeps switching back on to charge ie. it's not staying off.
So naturally me being afraid of bricking my phone and it being a first time for me, I haven't progressed past this part. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Turn your phone off and leave it disconnected from your PC
When the unlock procedure asks you to plug in your phone, press the back-button while you connect the usb-cable to your phone.
This way you enter flash-mode, which is what the tools require.

I can't seem to enter flash mode :/
I hold the back button and connect the phone to the pc. Initially it installed some flash driver onto the pc and then booted up as normal.
Now it just boots up as normal no matter how long I hold the back button (throughout the whole process so far)
Does having xrecovery have anything to do with this?
Thanks
Edit - my antivirus was quarantining s1tool.exe! derp.
Edit 2 - Success! Thanks chaps. You're all pretty cool in my books

I have had problem like yours on x10i .
but about solotion:
just flash e15i nAa kernel file to your phone by flash tool before this phone must be rooted.100% worked for me .sorry about my english.:laugh:
Help
Hi,
i don't know if this comes under this section also,
i lost the post that i was using to update my x10 mini pro from 2.1 to 2.3 after my pc freezed and restarted.
So my SE finished the update but it's stuck on the Sony Ericsson text on boot up in faint brightness.
I used flshtool 0.9.0.0
rooted the phone and installed busy box.
restarted the phone with the blue screen menu a selected the NAa kernel from SD to load.
After that rebooted the phone then sony ericsson text came very bright then it starts to faint to minimum and nothing else happens.
If i connect flashtool i will get the following:
02/046/2012 14:46:55 - INFO - Device disconnected
02/047/2012 14:47:16 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off

02/047/2012 14:47:26 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging on
02/047/2012 14:47:27 - INFO - Connected device : U20
02/047/2012 14:47:27 - INFO - Installed version of busybox : BusyBox v1.19.4-cm7 bionic (2012-02-04 22:27 +0100) multi-call binary.
02/047/2012 14:47:27 - INFO - Android version : 2.3.7 / kernel version : 2.6.29
i even tried SEUS but nothing happens it would ask to reboot in flashmode and the device will enter flashmode and nothing happens.
also tried to restart with the blue screen menu by pressing power and the back button multiple times and back with volume + and - nothing occurs.
I downloaded ver 0.9.1.0
and tried the force root and here is the log:
Any solution ?
Thanks in advance.

You have to flash the kernel from flashtool:
Put the kernel zipfile in the /firmwares folder where you installed flashtool
Choose the flash-button
Choose the kernel
Connect your phone in flashmode and it will be done (if your bootloader is unlocked)
You can not install a kernel from the sd-card using the CWM (blue screen) menu
The reason your phone doesn't boot up is because your ROM and Stock kernel are not compatible
If you're succesful in flashing the kernel, you should be fine.
There is no need to root your phone before you flash the kernel, and the ROM is pre-rooted.
stuck on text sony erricson nothing else can be done
Thank you for your reply,
i'm not able to flash anything on the device.
getting Error Flashing. Aborted.
please see the logfile of flashtool 0.9.1.0
and i'm trying to load U20_nAa-14_2.6.29.6-nAa-14.ftf
if i'm doing wrong tell me !
Please have a look at the log file.
Why i'm getting permission denied
and FTError
Thank you in advance.

In your original post you said you tried to install the kernel from sd-card using the CWM menu, which is impossible
I suppose you have to unlock the bootloader first, in flashtool it's under the plugins-section.
But you first have to make sure it is safe or you can brick your device doing that
Go find the post where you got the kernel from, it will have a link to the bootloader unlock tutorial.
Use that to get instructions on how to know if your device is safe to unlock.
Then use the bootloader-unlock in flashtool's plugin-menu to unlock the bootloader.
Then flash the kernel.
stuck on text sony erricson nothing else can be done
Yes i did the root and unlocked the bootloader.
and loaded the kernel from SD card using CWM menu.
It was asking to load the kernel from SD card,
i wish i could boot with CWM to give you the exact steps.
The device was i guess able to work but i read somewhere in forum to try rooting again using force psneuter
and that was when things changed on the device cause i used to see in Clean Root icon in flashtool lot of apps and commands in red now only ls: in red is there!!
Regards

You can NOT flash the kernel from the sd-card
Only from your PC, and your phone does not need to be rooted for that, you only need an unlocked bootloader.
stuck on text sony erricson nothing else can be done
Ok I understood that part.
My question is how to fix my device if possible, i made a mistake somewhere there and don't recall cause i gave up after i looded the rom i think from SD card.
it's over 2 weeks and now i have some free time to try to fix it with the hope of getting someone here on in the forum to help me out.
Thanks

hmm, weird, normally the only problem there is that SEUS says there's no firmware available Keep pressing the back-button till it actually starts flashing.
