[Q] Oops, I've used format/system ... :-)

Hi guys,
I've got a big problem, I've used "format/system" in xRecovery and now when I reboot, I'm only getting the Sony Ericsson logo. I did a backup on SDcard but I'm a Mac user so I've used Crossover to use SEUS and try to restore. The problem is the phone isn't detected, only the green LED is turn on but nothing happen on the Mac...
I'm gonna try on PC, but if you can help me ... it will be great !!
(Sorry guys for my english, but I'm a french student who spend more time on his X10 than in english class !)
I think you use flashtool and flash a 2.1 firmware
Flash Tool
2.1 Firmware can also be found in the flashtool post.
Can you use xRecovery after this problem?
If so, why don't you restore the backup that you have made ?

I think the format erases the xrec. In this case, as the colleague up there told him flashtool is the solution.

no, nothing done from the xrecovery erases xrecovery..!! anyways you can use flashtool..!!
Thanks a lot guys, it works !
same problem here but i have tried flash tool many time.what shall i do?
Hi jojooo89,
I suppose crossover might not help you in flashing even thought it might detect the phone after some tinkering.
flashing works only on windows either throught SEUS or flashtool...
the reason being usbflash.dll is only on windows.

If you can still get into x-recovery, you could try mounting your SD card, copying over a ROM and then installing it with x-recovery

This is not true. In 'Partition Tools' there is a 'Format System' option that formats everything including the system files/folders. Since XRecovery files are in the 'System' folder using this option removes XRecovery. There is a warning in the XRecovey thread to never use this option without having another system image to replace it with.
I would assume based on that warning though that there is some way to replace the system but thats a question for Z.

I format the system of my X8

How can I repair the X8 smartphone? with flashtool and generic firmware?
where can I find that software?
system format, cannot flash
Hey everyone!
I have a huge problem. I tried to update my OS from cm10 5.1 kernel v16 to cm10 8.1 kernel v18.
I used system format, and when I start my phone it just showed me CM10 logo.
I tried to flash to stock verision, somehow I managed it, but now SE logo on my phone, and I can not flash again, because when I flash my phone it's starting itselfs automatically, so the flashing stops
Could someone help me? I hope you could understand what I wrote.
Thanks

Help!!! I think i bricked my phone

Hey so i was trying to install de Cm recovery in mi mini pro
So i need it the busybox thing
I went to the market and downloaded the busybox installer app
After i installed busybox everything was going fine
Until i decided to reboot my phone
When my phone rebooted pop ups started to appear about
Launcher pro not working and dpsmananger not working
And then it said that the process system is not working
What can i do there?
I cant reboot into xrecovery
So please help me!!!
It passes the se screen and the bootanimation
the lockscreen works and the touchscreen too even the freaking screen on off animation works
I think it might have to do with the system files or something

I tried using seus but it doesnt work either!

Hey you rom experts out there help me out!!!
Use pc compagnon and flash the good old stock. Otherwise flashtool may also help you.
I did the same like you few weeks ago and this is the only way.
sent with my mini pro
i had similar problem with my phone.I download 'Update_Service_Setup-2.11.5.6' from sony ericsson and follow the instuctions.I lost my data and revert back to original 2.1 rom but i had a live phone ..Then i had to reflash the rom
You won't loose your data if you carefully do backups when playing around with roms
sent with my mini pro
Use Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) To Reflash Stock rom without Root. That should do it.
Just download it and follow the onscreen instructions.
Hey buddy dload flash tool and the generic 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmaware ftf .....
choose the flash option in flash tool n choose the firmware.....remove the battery of mini pro connect the cable press the back button n holding it insert the battery it will flash the firmware.....

yes it is off . but now the boot loader is locked and it is on custom kernel (naa-14), that is why i cant flash stock kernel and without stock kernel seus or pc companion wont work. i have tried flashing stock kernel , flash tool even detects the phone but the kernel cant be flashed.

[Q] Need help to recover from endless loops

Hi guys,
I'm using Xperia sola rooted phone with 4.0 and I was installing metamorph - lock theme and the phone restarted and it is going in an endless loop of resarts.
It's possible to put the phone completely off by using power & volume key combo, also i can put the device under flashboot and fastboot mode.
Kindly tell me a way outta this !!
I won't be getting a cell phone for another year I guess

Do you have CWM and if you do does it have adb?

This is the theme file : "droidpirate.com/2011/09/14/metamorph-droid-bionic-lock-slider-bionic/"

I can put the device in flashboot/fastboot though!
Any chances that I can recover the phone?

If you bootloader is unlocked you can try flash a kernel with CWM that support adb.
If not, do you have the FTF file for the firmware that is currently installed?
I would try at first flashing system.sin only from the firmware FTF, no wipes everything else expluded.
You will lose root and other modes copied directly to /system but you should have data intact.

Well no CWM installed & I haven't done the unlocking of bootloader yet.
Yeah I do have these two files in my flashtool firmware folder which I used :
MT27i_6.1.1.B.1.10_KERNEL.ftf
MT27i_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.ftf
Which one are you referring to, since I had to use .10 first followed by .54 to get the root done !
Can you please point to a tutorial where I can follow the steps which you are referring to? That will be helpful

For root didn't you just had to install kernel .10 over .54 firmware no?
Anyway the system from the one that is flashed now you the only one that knows which, I am guessing .54
