you didn't change the permission or the file is incompatible ..the only way is to roll back on your backup ..or flash a new fw
EDIT : or wait someone more professional to solve this

Did u unlock bootloader? Or still locked?
Flash generic ftf using flashtool or try repair using PCC.
Sent from my WT19i ExMIUI-ed
If you have installed clockworkmod recovery and able to boot into recovery, then try flashing any custom rom(don't forget to wipe cache and data).
OR
Flash a GB or ICS rom (.ftf extension) via flashtool.
you need to download any .ftf firmware for your phone.
then install flashtool.
put your downloaded .ftf files to C/program files/flashtool/firmwares.
turn off your phone, hold down the volume down button, while you do that don't let it go just yet.
open flashtool.
connect your phone to pc using usb cable.
wait until flashtool recognized your device.
then click on the lightning icon and choose flashmode.
then choose the .ftf files that you just downloaded then click on "start" if im not mistaken.
then just sit back and relax and wait till flashing finished.
that's it. your phone will boot normally.
if you dont want your files in phone memory (downloaded games/apps/settings),
unchecked wipe data and cache in flashtool before you flash the .ftf
Flash Using Flashtool
Just flash your phone using flash tool.
1. Download the respective *.ftf file for your phone.
2. And then flash using the flash tool available for xperia.
:good:
if you really want to save your data ..and you already have cmw ..
there is a tricky way ..but not sure if it would work or not
Thank you very much guys. I reflashed my phone. Problem solved, but all my messeages gone, thats the only bad thing, and Market app is still not updates to Google Play, i dont know why

To stop all those questions about how to install one of the pre rooted 2.3.3 ROMs properly I decided to make this HOW-TO to keep the threads clear.
INGREDIENTS:
All you need is:
1 Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 device
1 Computer
PREPERATIONS:
At the moment, there is NO method to root your X10 after you have installed 2.3.3. So if you installed 2.3.3 via SEUS, PCC oder Flashtool the first step you have to do is to get a rooted stock 2.1 ROM on your device. To avoid errors I would recommend this step to everyone
INSTALL 2.1, root it and install xRecovery:
Get the newest Flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746&highlight=flashtool
Get one of the stock 2.1 ROMS (same thread as flashtool)
Extract the ROM-file to your Flashtool/firmware folder
Start flashtool
Click on "Flash" and select the firmware you just downloaded
Click OK
Turn off your device
Connect cable to PC NOT TO YOUR X10
Press Back-Button on your X10 and connect cable
Wait flashtool to finish
After that, turn on phone and activate "Unknown sources" and "USB-Debugging" under Application-Settings
Hit "Root" in flashtool
Wait for flashtool to finish and X10 to reboot
After reboot hit "Ask root permissions" in flashtool and select allow on you X10 (a popup will appear)
Hit "xrecovery" in flashtool
GETTING ROOTED 2.3.3 ON YOUR DEVICE:
First of all, you have to download the ROM you wish to install. This step should be clear, but you never know . Every of those ROMs comes in 2 parts. 1 update.zip and 1 kernel+baseband file for flashtool.
Copy the update.zip (name can be different!!) to your X10s SDcard
Reboot X10 into xRecovery (Keep hitting Back-button while X10 restarts)
Select "Factory Reset"
Select "Wipe Cache Partition"
Select "Advanced options" -> "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Select "Install custom zip" and select the zipfile you copied to your SDCard
Wait for xRecovery to finish
After that, DONT REBOOT OR DO ANYTHING, JUST REMOVE ANY CONNECTED CABLE AND REMOVE BATTERY TO TURN OF PHONE
EXTRACT the kernel+baseband-File into flashtools firmware folder
Hit "Flash" in flashtool and select the copied kernel+baseband
Now insert battery again (make sure no cable is connected. Otherwise the phone will start into charging mode and you have to start again)
Press Back-button and connect cable
Wait for flashtool to finish
Start X10 and enjoy your rooted 2.3.3!
Hope this helps
nice job man
just came home to try the new rom and i see this thanks

I'm currently using Wolf's ROM and I can tell you there's definitely a difference. The speed is absolutely amazing. He's made some optimization tweaks and there's no lag at all. Everything runs totally smooth and the battery life is astonishing.

Doh!! I hadnt unpacked the bundle with winrar so flash obviously wouldnt work!!
Hi, i have a noob question:
I'm now on official 2.1 update 1 and rooted with Z4root a while ago.
When i start this tutorial, do i have to unroot first so i can root again with the above method or can i just start from step 1?
I think you can just start with installing xrecovery.
Ok, I started the tutorial and installed xrecovery with flashtool. But when i get to the step to select the update.zip file on my sd card, it says the card is not accessable. So i Restored my phone and booted it up to check if i can check my sd card via astro, everything works just fine. So i Started the tutorial all over, even reinstalled xrecovery and rooted again. I did this already 4 times now ,but still the same problem in recovery, what do i have to do ta access the sd card with the update on it in xrecovery?
Thanks

just extract the ftf file inside the .7z using winzip/7z/winrar.

How long does the process of restoring back to stock 2.1 take? I've been waiting 10min and its stuck on "flashing loader" I'm getting scared....
You forgot to mention ONE important step: having SEUS installed in order to have flashing driver required for flashtool.
question here,
i was using stock 2.3 last couple of day, yesterday i decided to flash custom rom so i followed this thread's guide. however how i stuck at stock rom 2.1 because i can't gain root access! this is weird i been using flashtool and z4root none of them giving me root access. anybody have any idea what's this problem?
thanks in advance!
Hey everybody,
I think I crashed my Phone. It reboots everytime I want to start it.
It starts till the SE logo.
That happend after I copied tun.ko files into system folder, installed busybox and cisco any connect.
So I tried to enter system folder via adb to get it fixed. But it failed.
So my question.
Is there any possibility to fix my phone without loosing user and app data or to copy the rom?

Try reflashhing ROM with recovery..do not clear dalvik or reset factory reset options in recovery..
Gintonic.SE + zombie-pack kernel by slade ..
And how do I get into recovery?
if you have the recovery instaled press the back button and release several times once you see the sony ericson logo.
if you dint install the recovery i'm sorry but i dont know what you can do. hope some one can help then
Simple and short.
No.
Oh, that doesn´t sound good.
I have a general question. What is a Trim Area?
Try updating your firmware with se PC companion and rooting you phone again ...

use X10 flash tool to flash your ROM to a stock one, then use flash tool to root and install xrecovery
download a stock kernel for now (its in .ftf format)
But then I will loose my data, right?
Yes in any update you will loose your data unless you have backed up your data.......

Yes. I think a factory reset would do. Or else try this method. I dont know if there's a simpler way to do it
Download the flash tool from here:
http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
You'll find it in the installation tab.
Download the ICS firmware for your phone from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27013445#post27013445
Follow these steps:
1.Install Flashtool.
2.Place downloaded firmware file(.ftf format) in Flashtool\firmwares(by default C:\Program Files\Flashtool) folder.
3.Start Flashtool.
4.Click the lightning button and choose Flashmode.
5.Firmware should appear there, if you have it in correct folder. Choose it.
6.Now on the right pane, Untick wipe data. (Keep wipe cache ticked).
7.Tick all options under the exclude section. (Tick exclude Fota, exclude system, exclude kernel and exclude baseband)
8.Turn off your phone, connect USB cable to computer, then while pressing Volume Down button, connect USB cable to your phone.
Flashtool should detect your phone and starts flashing. Follow the instructions.
When it says "Flashing completed", unplug your phone and turn it on.
Thats it

I had the same problen and fixed it. So first you will need a stock firmware of ICS (find it on google can't provide link because I am using phone...sorry) then you will need latest Flashtool version (download it on google too).
Once you have everything downloaded follow the steps.
1)Instal Flashtool (it's easy)
2)Then open it and navigate folder with name Firmwares.
3)Put in this folder the .ftf file you downloaded (I mean the stock Firmware) Plug the phone in and wait while Flashtool will recognize your phone. IF not instal ADB drivers
4)Then open Flashtool and hit the button with the lightning
5)Choose flashmode
6)Then choose the firmware you puted in the folder.
7)Follow the on-screen instructions and you have your phone back

u can just reflash your kernel and restore your backup from recovery. if u used x-parts or any app to install recovery it installs it to system partition. when u install a new rom it wipes your system partition.
if u haven't unlocked bootloader u have to flash stock firmware via flashtool. then install a recovery mode and restore your backup.

Don't worry, everything will be fine.
Firstly, flashtool doesn't recognise ftr files, it reads ftf files. So, download ftf file from here:
http://d-h.st/Ug3
then, copy downloaded file to flashtool/firmwares folder.
In flashtool, click lightning icon, select flashmode, select rom, press flash and follow instructions on the screen.
then report here if you've managed to boot device
I hope I helped you
Cheers!

My pleasure. It is probably the faulty boot.img or something like that. Kernel usually gets flashed with ROM, except if developer says you must flash boot.img, the you do it via flashtool via fastboot (but be careful to select .img format from dropdown menu when selecting. If you wan't better battery life and smooth user interface, Gingerbread is the best solution. You're welcome to try my Refreshed Gingerbread if you wish HD gaming is no-no for our Xperia U, no matter what people tell you. But you can play some decent games. If you don't want to use Gingerbread anymore, your best bet would be CM10 limited edition or kontini's stock JB. They're equally good, but I give my vote to CM10LE because of the smoothness. Battery life sucks on any JB rom though Oh, and one more thing, if you decide to use any JB rom, be aware that viber causes call lags.
Cheers
EDIT: did you unlocked your bootloader? IF your bootloader is locked, then you cannot flash custom kernels. Just so you know.
