[Q] Amend script & Overclocked Kernel - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
Amend Script Problem :
I'm a bit confused about Amend Script, my Xperia x10i is unlocked, i got the Oodie CM7, I've flashed it to change roms many times now ! Today i wanted to change the rom, but i can't because of these script (Amend Script is no longer supported...) I don't know why i've got it, i didn't do anything more than before.
I found many thing about that, a little program to convert to Amend Script, i try it, my recovery said 'Update Complete', but the rom was the same... No change. I also saw many weird things that i didn't understand..
So, what is the best way (with details please ) to restore my phone as before ?
Overclocked Kernel Problem :
I've got another problem about Overcloked Kernel, i can't flash them. When i do it my phone stay at kernel Screen then reboot then stay at kernel Screen etc...
Do you have an idea about that ?
So thanks you, and sorry, my english sucks

Are you using cwm recovery? If so use xrecovery (from flashtool). Also not all phones support overclock (my device may be better than one other but worse than another still). It all depends on tolerances on chipset.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

I use xrecovery !
For the overclock maybe it's because I got one of the first X10 !

I just put my phone at original rom and root it again, then i reinstall recovery.
Same thing I can't do anything...
Someone got an idea ?

If you are bootloader-unlocked just flash a stock rom kernel (doomkernel/th-kernel)then you would access to xRecovery.

I can access to xrecovery but i can't flash because of amend script ! (cf first post)

Okay ! So, i found a solution this morning. The problem was the version of the recovery put with the latest Doom Kernel.
I'll share my procedure for all having this problem.
1- Put the Sony Stock Rom 2.3 with Pc companion.
2- Root your phone.
3- Install the 0.3 Recovery via Flashtool.
4- Before installing any rom don't flash the kernel. Keep the stock Kernel.
5- You should be able to flash your rom now, do anything you want but install everything (rom, patch, gapps...).
6- After all of that flash your kernel.
7- Now you have your rom, maybe without Wifi, but you can fix by flashing in the recovery (no need amend script for that).
I hope it can help some of you

You can always just change your kernel from flashtool then flash an other rom. No need in going to pc companion.

[Q] Possibility to install custom ROM with PC?

Guys, I'm with some problems (everything works fine for everyone, except for me) with CWM Recovery, it's crash backuping and don't install any custom ROM.
So, I would like to know if there's any method to install one custom ROM using the PC. Anyone knows?
Mine never crashed once in that cwm installation. maybe you have a corrupt cwm or something?
try it from the beginning. use the batch script here on this thread
ClockWorkMod Installer - Windows v4 - Linux v4
and see if it works now.
i guess you would have manually installed cwm.
i dont think there is a way to use the pc to install roms unless a dev steps up to do that. try the basics and see if it works.
IF you still experience crashing try flashing the whole phone using SE update service and then go from the base. it was easy to do that (through my experience i found that).
Good luck with the recovery

The problem it that I've just had flased it and installed with this CWM Installer. It started having problems after I tried to install the CM 7, when I was with Ginger. DX v6 or v9, I don't remembered.
And the xRecovery started with problems after that too. I've installed ArcMini Theme with it well, but after the Ginger.DX, I couldn't do ANYTHING!
Oh, and sorry for English.
I don't thing it will possible or easy to install via PC & you should first go for xrecovery, install ROM like froyobread (which having simple installation process) & will also install updated CWM recovery automatically. Then you can replace this ROM with any other ROM & remember now you have CWM as well as xrecovery.......enjoy

[Q] No Data + Can't flash ROMs

I've been messing around with my x10a and I can't seem to flash any ROMs in xRecovery.
I've been trying to flash Wolfbreak's ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266080) but xRecovery keeps giving me an error saying that it can't update the script or something and that it was changed in Android 1.5.
I searched around and people said to use a lower version of xRecovery, but I installed the recovery through flashtool and it is still not working.
Another problem I've encountered is that data doesn't work anymore for my phone. No clue why.
Here are the steps on what I did.
1. Downloaded Flashtool
2. Rooted and installed xRecovery.
3. Unlocked bootloader
4. Flashed "X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200.zip " for x10a through Flashtool.
5. Flashed Doom Kernel v06-1113 [medium OVERCLOCK VERSION] through Flashtool
6. Flashed Doom Kernel x10_gb_DooMKernel-v06-1113_wifi modules through xRecovery (worked)
Help is very appreciated! I've installed custom ROM's on my htc, motorola, and tablets but this phone is extremely weird.
Try ref lashing the kernel

That's weird. Did You try to flash new ROM via CWM?

Yeah, I tried flashing it with CWM and I've been getting the same error about not able to update script
Edit: Data's working now but it keeps cutting in and out. Phone keeps popping out with a notification saying that download settings didn't save. Any ideas?
The error i'm getting in recovery is : amend scripting(update-script) is no longer supported. amend scripting was deprecated by google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the clockworkmod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

[Q] Flashed ROM stuck in boot animation

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!

[Q] Boot problem when installing Smultronic 5.0 on Xperia Mini

Hey guys,
actually I didn't want to create a thread for this as I thought I might resolve it myself or that I'll find the answer elsewhere.. But after 5 attempts with each different methods, I don't know what to try anymore.
I have the Xperia MIni (st15) and I want to try the Smultronic ROM. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796272). My attempts looked like this:
I flashed the ICS .587 stock ROM via Flashtool to get a clean thing to start with (including full wipe)
I root by flashing the .562 kernel, run the Doomlord script to gain root access and reflash the .587 stock kernel
I install CWM (xparts or cwm-install script, both works and doesn't make any difference)
I choose the smultronic 5.0 ".zip" in CWM (no wipe) and follow the instructions in Aroma installer. (Unlocked Bootloader chosen, as I have one).
The installation finishes successfully after a few seconds (!) and I am proposed to reboot.
The result of this is that my phone will get stuck at the SONY screen (>20 min.), which up to my knowledge means that there is no boot process for a ROM, just the bootloader showing it is alive.
I tried a bunch of things, like starting from a "used" stock ROM, fully wipe the system (+Dalvik) before starting the installation or choosing another Recovery installation method. No problem to recover any stock rom, but Smultronic still don't want to start when I try the above again.
I really feel a bit stupid, as this ROM is actually made for my particular device, and I don't manage to install it. Anyone finds the error?
Thanks a lot.

If your bootloader is unlocked, why are you using xparts to install cwm instead of a custom kernel?
To your problem, boot in cwm, do the wipe data/factory reset, install the rom, reboot and see what happens. If it's not working, flash another custom kernel or download an older version of the rom...

Download and flash a custom kernel which will work with the rom.. Try mesa kernel.. Flash it using flashtool... Now do complete wipe and install the rom again...

[Q] CWM Recovery on my X10

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.
