Hi, sorry if posting in wrong section
Im currently stuck in bootloop after modifying framework-res.apk.
Phone is of course rooted, used root explorer to paste the framework-res.apk, renamed the original one.
I have googled around a bit, and im pretty confused
Any ideas how to make it boot?
Thanks!!
As it is stuck in a bootloop , all u can do is flash a stock Rom again, I find this is the only solution or may be u can push stock framework if available using adb!!

Wenever modifying framework u shud always consider backing up your Rom!!

First, thanks for the replies !!!
I messed around with fastboot a little yesterday, and i have a little problem installing it. I finally figured out how to install the drivers, but I cant get adb open, it just closes after clicking on it
How can I get this work?
First of all you should have set right permissions for the file before restart
ADB starting only from command line, and if you use Vista or Seven just right click on the folder where ADB is situated and type "ADB"
use SEUS ... it's the easy way ...
um isnt that for older SE phones? Or maybe im wrong
I couldnt find anything about it..
Ok I finally got ADB working, however it cant find my phone :/
I connected it via fastboot (?), like holding down vol-up and plug in USB, phone gets a blue notification light up left.
Is this the right mode? Drivers should be working just fine according to device manager..
Thx

SEUS knows if you tried to modify your phone. It won't help.

I have rooted, and modified the system with uto kitchen, and other mods here in the forum and still dont have any problem if I try to flash it with SEUS
Change the permission of the file which you have copied.
Don't worry it will work fine.

Root Explorer Can do the trick.
hello.. im also stuck in boot loops.. so how can i fix this using adb tools ??? plsss help :\
reflash using wotanserver
may be you wrong to set permissions
sir please please please help me i have micromax A110 i have same problem but i have backup my data and it is in internal sd card i have backup data through clockword recovery but no luck it is just boot lopping please someone help
Lol this happends never, because i know how to modify framework-res.apk properly (lol), i build a flashable zip on my phone always to make sure it copied, and have a flashable zip with framework-res.
Well, the easiest solution is to reflash the ROM/framework-res.
Jader13254 is right, you should always have a rescue strategy before messing around with something like framework-res.apk. It sounds like you don't have cwm recovery installed, which sounds particularly crazy. The bootlooping is going to make it difficult to use adb or android commander or anything similar with out recovery. If you have cwm you have some options to push the working framework onto the phone, but with out cwm, I think you can only use SUS/SEUS/PCC or flashtool to repair your phone. Just check for any of the guides for rooting, unbricking, updating ,etc your device.

maybe you don't have the busybox installed...
I did root my x10 using z4root permenant rooting and busy box was ok and xrecovery worked fine automatically..
used the custom rom freedom 8b and back to the original SE rom ,, which amazed me great work,,
now I used the custom rom black freedom 7a and the xrecovery wont install either automatically nor manually !! am kinda stuck with this rom,, tried rerooting and rebooted million times..
If anyone can help would be grateful
Thanks
manually copy the 3 files (chargemon, xrecovery, etc) into the /system/bin folder and make sure that you have the version of busybox from the market installed.
to manually copy these files u will need root explorer and make sure that you are mounted in RW mode.
I just did that and it works! Woo hoo!! Runs a treat with linpack around 33, still hasn't fixed the stuttering audio but hoping se will sort that in next update... fingers crossed

Xrecovery not working after latest stock rom
Xrecovery is definitely not working on my X10i after I stupidly re-installed the latest stock Rom... I have done all the normal steps and it now does not work... I have previously had various roms on this phone and now Xrecovery is not working im worried I'm stuck with the stock rom. Now don't ask me to press the back button and copy the files into the System folder...I've done all that I'm telling you there is something in the latest stock rom to block it in my opinion.

[Q]Sony BootLoop Solution??
Only post here is somebody get the solution of bootloop problem..
i think that the only think that we can do is wait for someone that posts an update.zip to be flashed via recovery, obviously for the different versione..mine is 16gb 3g (europe sgpt114it)...your is?
I understand that we're all happy we got root, but you gotta be careful running out and deleting/freezing everything without a proper way to restore!
Also, these question threads should all be moved to general.
sorry for posting here, but I can see many people facing this similar boot loop issue & other threads are getting flooded, that is why I posted here..
Lets try to find some way as of now to get rid of this frustrating boot loop !!!
EDIT:
Can anyone tell me, what exactly should be present inside those update.zip?
I am not able to unzip or see the content of signed-nbx03_001XXXXXXXXX.zip, giving some error !!!
it gives errors because the zip is encrypted
what if someone posts a full rom dump and i flash all the files manually via adb?
I tried with another zip and now in Recovery Mode , getting below error:
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

Since some files are encrypted or contain personal keys, I would think that this would be not advisable. Especially if you have the 3G version (IMSI keys, eyc.)
However, if you can remember what was the last action you performed before the bootloop (for example, uninstalled a particular system app), I would be happy to find the .apk and/or relevant system folder for you so you can install it via ADB (I suppose this would be possible, provided you still have ADB access and root/su).
I was trying to change the fonts using FONT CHANGER, I have not deleted any of the default apps or anything.

****.. thats not good.. you cant even reflash the same version of update..
you could wait for another update from sony, or wait for some hack of recovery, or hm... warranty?
are you able to get into recovery?
I am able to go into Recovery Mode, tried updating thru sdcard but I think we dont have the proper firmware to restore!!!
Its under warranty but donno wanna go there, it needs a solution coz I will again try to change fonts for sure
Did you try looking at condi's post? I am not quite sure what condi managed to achieve, but it sounds at least relevant.
Also, bear in mind I have posted a link to the contents of the (stock) font folder. If we knew exactly what changes are made by this application, it would be possible to revert them. If you can find out, I can find the stock files for you so you can manually reverse this issue.
EDIT: Do NOT try any of the above -- according to sapphire88. You've been warned!
tried both the way, by replacing the fonts with the original ones and by editing the build.prop...the results is that now i'm stucked at the sony logo (no more one time access to the home screen) ...contacted sony to ask them if i could have the original firmware in update.zip format...perhaps (i don't really think that they will give it to me)...
Well, this still makes no sense however. Can we approach the developer of Font Changer and ask the sort of changes the application is performing? I assume that it is not just replacing fonts, but also some system files that point to the fonts that are being used. If we could track all changes and reverse them, surely this would fix the issue.
What about condi's downgrade/upgrade option? (you said it did not work)
Also, do you still have access to ADB (perhaps in recovery)? If you do, then you can still essentially find ways to fix this issue. But for the time being let's black list Font Changer.
i haven't used an app to change the fonts, i've manually replace the three clock fonts (only those three files), and it ended in a bootloop, in recovery adb doesn't work and i can't no more access to the home screen to use adb..
anyone know about Safety Mode?? How to enter into safety mode.
Note: I am NOT talking about Recovery mode..

ADB is available in recovery - just wait a minute or two - it will become available. But its not fully working as in normal boot. Check it, you can 'adb push' some files, maybe you could turn your fonts to stock ones?

Yes, I figured it out some time ago, press power + vol-down, and keep vol-down pressed until tab fully start system.

hey guys, this is my first time i would say i bricked my phone. i need someone to help me my phone has been in 'coma' for nearly 2 days now.
so this happened when i try to apply this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306044 and after i carelessly copied framework-res.apk to system/framework using root explorer without setting the correct permissions, my phone automatically shuts off and try to restart but it failed, it stucked on the big sony ericsson logo and 'sony ericsson' text.
i have pull out the battery hundred times and try to reboot my phone normally but it didnt worked it still stucked on the sony ericsson logo.
so can anyone help me please...
what tools/application should i get to fix this?
first of all, i dont want to wipe/lose/factory reset my phone memory data because that would make my phone contacts gone which i never ever want to happen. so please is it possible to backup my contacts somewhere else if wiping is the answer at least??
okay i took a lot of time to type this and hoping someone give me an answer

Congratulations, you have felt the power of customizing Android for the first
Actually, one way to fix this now, is to get back to fully stock firmware.
The second way would be to unlock bootloader, install a custom kernel, enter recovery and use Fix Permissions option. Unfortunately, not all Recoveries have this, only some versions of ClockworkMod Recovery. I have used many kernels on my LWW and only some of these included this option and I can't remember which one had, which not.

If contacts is too important for you and you have no backups, then go for the 2nd way - Unlock bootloader and install a custom kernel, which offers the Fix Permissions option.
I will check the Update Service, if Repair option will erase user data or not, currently updating my phone.
EDIT: Yes, removes all data.

Backup files on another disk part
format only the system disk
or back up your files on external Hard Disk:good:
So, my phone is stuck in a boot loop. I can restore factory setting but first i want to back up my data .. specifically my text messages and pictures. They are very important. Is there a way i can do that ?
the bad news is Im not rooted. now im trying to find ways to save data from my the phone before i do a factory reset. i hope i can sort it out.
Thanks,

Your pictures should be on your SD and unaffected, but without root I'd say goodbye to your messages.

so is there no hope even by using ADB commands for example, or some other way? :crying:

I think, without root, you can't view /data, but you can try.
If you can, the sms should be located in this .xml: er /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
Then backup it via adb, reflash your rom and replace the file with the backuped one.
If you can't access /data, maybe you can root/flash cwm to your phone too, if it's bootloped? (Phone specific, so I don't know.)
Good luck.

Connect your phone to your computer, start adb shell and type in su and then cd data
If you can view the directory by typing in ls you should be able, to copy the .xml to your computer.
Sorry for the late reply.^^

You have to open cmd.exe and navigate to the location, where the adb file is located.
Then type in ‘adb shell’.

when i type in adb shell, it says Error: device not found, while the phone was in the boot menu.
Is it maybe because im missing drivers? I googled a bit and now i have the driver i need, its .exe file , what should i do with this file? if i double click on it, i get an error message.
thanks

Yes, the drivers could be the problem or maybe (but I don't hope so) the phone isn't recognizable in this mode via adb.
If you're using Windows, go to the device manager and check, if there's a android thing with a exclamation, then refresh the driver of this, if it's possible. Simply via right click etc. (Of course, if the device is connected.)
And have you tried this here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15585507&postcount=2
btw: Your phone seems to don't boot up since a few days, do you don't need it? Another idea is, maybe you can backup all your files via fastboot/download mode or something else, but you'll have to post this question in the device specifically forum, because it's different on phones.
Okay, one more time good luck.

yes, in the device manager there is an android thing with a yellow exclamation. i clicked on refresh the driver and i get the window asking me where i want to get the driver from. since i have the driver in an Sd card, i´ll try that tomorrow.
well, i do need the phone, but now im using my old one. until i can finally fix this issue.
What did you mean with the Fastboot mode? when im in the boot menu, i can select Fastboot, but it wont help much, because it will just start the booting again (bootloop). but i dont know if this is what you meant with fastboot.
thanks

Okay, but you can also let Windows automaticly search the internet for the drivers.
About fastboot, I don't know if you can backup files with this. (Normally you can use this to flash boot.img etc.) And I don't know, how it works on your device, so ask in your device forum.

adb is not recognizing the device, so im giving up on recoverying the phone data. I tried a factory reset to fix the bootloop but it aint working either. So now i can only think of sending it to the Htc technical center, the phone is under warranty.

Okay.
Are you talking about flashing stock rom, when you said factory reset?
If not, maybe this helps. (There's a link to flash stock rom in this thread.)
