Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew a way to get back to xRecovery so I can flash my back up to where it was.
I was trying to load a new ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238402
I rooted, loaded xRecovery 0.3, and flashed it. After that I was stuck in a boot loop with the SE Logo hanging and I couldn't get back to xRecovery, so I used Flashtool and loaded one of the kernels that came with the tool and managed to boot successfully, but apparently the WiFi gives an error and it's being iffy when trying to communicate with Flashtool again (When Asking for Root Permits, it won't give the prompt on the phone)
My idea was to reinstall xRecovery with Flashtool and restore from my backup, but I can't seem to be able to get to xRecovery to install or to work for that matter. Apparently this phone is more complicated to toy around than my Xperia X8 and I screwed up this time around
Any ideas?
after you flash FXP tft files, you only able to get to CWM recovery. but since you already unlocked bootloader, go flash Doomlord boot manager, you will get both CWM and xRecovery back. you can use xRec there. cheers
could you link me to the files you're referring to? I can't make heads or tails of exactly which I need. I saw some supposed Kernel Files from DoomLord, but they were .zip.
Do you think flashing the X10a Generic Firmware with Flashtool would work?

As I understand it, it's a kernel, baseband, and OS all in one?

My phone is stuck at SE logo.. Xrecovery is also not working.. SEUS also not working. Can rom be flashed vai flash tools . Actually i installed wrong kernel on my rom n the phone became unresponsive.. Please can anyone help. Cant get my phone working.
same here... please can some one help us in installing kernal or roms through flash tools?
if it's stuck at se logo then Seus should work...
flash stock firmware with flashtools and start all over.
Yes, you can
Hi.
I went through something similar, if not the same.
My rom got corrupted with the new kernel, I lost xrecovery and SEUS asks for the SD card to be mounted, which cannot be because ROM did not see it after kernel update.
before reading further, you need to have your phone rooted, you can do it via xrecovery, easily found in this forum.
what did I do to solve it?
***EDITED****
I installed a generic ROM via flashtool, you do not have to boot the phone to do it, the bad thing is that everything will be wiped from phone (not from SD though)
you can find generic X10 stock roms in this forum.
After that, you will be good to go.
hope this helps.
I was trying to install this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295089
but I couldn't flash the ftf file, so I thought maybe I need to unlock the bootloader, so I tried to do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17375576&postcount=1
but couldn't do anything after step 1, which was flashing the downgrade kernel or something,
now flashtool doesn't recognize my phone and it's stuck at the SE logo screen,
I tried to flash the kernel via zip file (from Wolf's rom) and then flash Wolf's rom and wiping data and dalvik cache via xrecovery, but it's still bricked ... How can I get it to turn on again? Any help is greatly appreciated!
EDIT/SOLVED: OK so I rested for 3 minutes (I'm a very impatient man) was able to use the cmd file to unlock the bootloader from another computer, then I succesfully booted into flash mode by holding the back key and flashed the upgrade kernel from the unlock bootloader thread, from then, I followed the instructions on the MIUI rom (first link) my X10 is properly working now, so my best advice is to remain patient and don't try and change roms this late at night, especially if you have to work the next morning... I'm so sorry to have made this thread and fixed it myself so soon... but if I can help anyone with the same problem please ask!
hi i have bricked my ray. I got the ics update from seus the other day and rooted it and tried to flash a status bar mod via cwm and the status bar vanished so i went to restore my backup and i clicked my old gb backup instead of my ics backup by mistake and now it wont boot up it just stays at se logo. I tried flashing gb with flash tool still no luck then tried flashing free xperia unbrick ftf first then reflash gb still no luck. Flash to finishes flashing but at the reboot stage at the end the phone just doesnt boot past the se logo but pc companian picks up that a phone is atached. Please someone help me im beging u.
Hi there!
Do you have flashed GB Kernel fitting your GB Rom of the Backup you have restored?? You need the fitting kernel.
Download Fastboot oder Flashtool, get the kernel img an flash it to your phone.
Bye an good luck!
What ROM do you have installed then currently?
Install the proper kernel also according to this.
Full stock .ftf firmware files should also include kernel.
yea the firmware's iv been flashing have the kernel in them. I think i damaged the bootloader coz al the flashing was succesfull but the ray just wunt boot into android so damaged bootloader. Anyway i gave up and its in for repair lol.
I tried flashing the latest FXP CM9 ROM on my X10, but it got stuck right at the SE orb. I've tried flashing multiple times but the error is always the same.
There are two files, one with kernel and one without. I suppose I should install the one with the kernel and so I did via Flashtool. For some reason though, I can't seem to get the Flashtool to install CWM to try the other version without the kernel. I wasn't able to ask for root perms either despite the phone having root. Any idea?

For FXP CM9 you need unlocked bootloader for starters as described here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253277 Follow carefully as if you mess it up u can perma break your signal, you then need the latest FXP Kernel for the ROM which is provided in the package from FXP, Install the Kernel boot into CWM5 and then install ROM also make sure your on BB .71 i believe although dont quote me on that.
You shouldnt have any SE Splash logo or orb logo, should be FXP logo and CM9 boot ani.
Good Luck hope you get there in end!

Ok, I am going to list my problem/query along with information i have gathered over the best part of 3 hours.
So, I have been doing some research regarding CWM recovery to be installed on my x10. I have already rooted and BLU my x10 and every thread I have read says that CWM is the most simplest way to put customised ROMs onto my phone. RecoverX, both PC and APK version, has been suggested several times accross XDA and other forums as the program to use to instal CWM. This is not the case as it only offers xRecovery, which although says it is installed succesfully, doesnt work. I also read that Rom Manager APK by clockworkmod would do it but it says that x10 is unsupported. But it does ask if it have installed a clockwork based mod manually.
Does anyone here at XDA know how I can get it installed?
I am currently running android 2.3.3 and was trying to get it upgraded to the MIUI ICS for X10 as seen in this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774623
Cheers, any help or advice would be appreciated.
Just install FeraKernel v18.4 or DoomKernel v6, both of which have CWM built in.
FeraKernel has a later date CWM version.
If you install an old version of Flashtool cira 0.8.6, it came with CWM Recovery and xRecovery which could be installed from Flashtool menus.
Before you flash FeraKernel or DoomKernel, have the ROM zip you wish to install with CWM on the X10 while it's running GB 2.3.3
This way when FeraKernel or DoomKernel are flashed to get access to CWM, you don't have to worry about WiFi and Graphics drivers as you already have your ROM on the phone and ready to go and just need to tap the volume up button to access CWM as the Kernel boots for the first time.
Enjoy.

Well I can't seem to find the old version of flashtool 0.8.6.0 nor doomkernel v6. The doom kernels keep referring me to broken links or hotfile which has been taken down. The ferakernel 18.4 seem to crash while being flash thus aborting the whole process. Was wandering if you have the older doomkernel or flashtool lying around or anyone who does who could do a fresh upload link please?
Thanks
Solved!
Finally got this sorted. After about 4 ours of trailing through the net. I found a 0.8.0.0 version of flashtool and an update to 0.8.6.0. If anyone is need of these files to get CWM recovery for X10 do let me know. Happy Chappy now. Thank you Dr Goodvibes.
You're welcome.
