[Q] xRecovery Installer Bug

I wanted to flash a custom rom with x recovery installer 0.1 but i always get this error when using the installer
>mkdir/data/local/tmp/xrecovery
Error>File exist
>Mount-o-rw-t yaffs2/dev/block/mtdblock0/data/locl/tmp/xrecovery
Error:Mountevice or resource busy
>rm-rf/data/local/tmp/xrecovery/*
Error>rm failed for -rf,No such file or directory
Android>2.1 Default xperia x8 firmware
The others were sucessful
I will recommend to re install your FW from SEUS or SE PC companion, root your phone again install root explorer and use the files from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881614&page=7 post 62, do exactly what it says there and you will be fine ... well it worked for me...
Regards
I found that using flashtool worked better and I could then boot into xrecovery so just install flashtool and use that to install xrecovery and it even has an option to reeboot straight into it

start pressing the button before the se-logo appears, or use flashtool to install xrecovery again.

[Q] [Need Help][Urgent] Problem with Phone and Busybox/xRecovery

Okay, I have a big problem with my phone, I decided to redo the operating system to a new version/ROM because the one i was using on it before several issues where coming up with it, 1: I Couldn't connect to other providers even though i had phone unlocked. 2: Some default programs where having problems starting.
So When doing a kernel upgrade my phone did not respond kept staying for 2 hours on the "SE" logo, and would not budge, so i decided to remake it, after about 4 hours i was able to get a OS on it, but this OS was older and out of date, when trying to go back to xRecovery it did not want to come up, i downloaded a Reboot to Recovery APK, which informed me that My "xRecovery" was not installed, which is weird because it was installed before.
I been trying to get the Default root method to install xRecovery which every time i ran the "Flash tools" program, it would not allow me to install xRecovery.
If anyone can contact me on skype "mradziwilko" to help me out, or post here ill be here checking on forum every min.
Thanks
Anyone would love some help?

Hi buddy, Have you tried to use ftf file like zahdi5h, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212260 to update?
You have to have unlocked boot loader and you can drag and drop the ftf into flash tool. Make sure you tick no final verification in flashtool or you will get error.
If that don't work then I suggest starting over with fresh 2.3.3.
Go back to stock using Sony Ericsson Update Service (seus) Use google or search threads for program.
Then just re-do, unlock boot loader and install recovery again with flashtool.
Hopefully zahdi5h ftf file will get you out of trouble.

I downloaded this FTF File, when opening it with the latest Flash Tool, it does not Recognize it.
Is their a possability you can link me another FTF, i know CM9 worked, but because i dont have a boot loader i need a ftf to be flashed, i tried with the IMG file, but the flashtool.exe keeps saying <Waiting for Device> and does nothing.
Also to add more info :
My Phone I thought was originaly a Xperia X10a, which it bios it says its a Xperia X10i.

Hi mate is your boot loader unlocked? If not then unlock it with flashtool. Try Version 0.9.10.1 of flashtool. Work's for me.
Download from http://androxyde.github.io/index.html?1373179542000
And you can also drag and drop the FTF file into flash-tool. FTF contains Kernel and rom., tick the no final verification box on bottom right.

[Q] Can't apply flashable .zip with Cyanogen recovery

I just installed Cyanogenmod and whenever I boot into Cyanogen recovery and try to apply an update it fails. For example I tried installing the flashable .zip for NUT’s DualRecovery but got
Finding update package...
Opening update package…
Verifying update package…
E:footer is wrong
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.​
same happens with a boot animation. By the way I have an unlocked bootloader.
You will need to put TWRP on to your device using fastboot commands, If you need help with that just ask me

I'm going to need some help on with this. I tried ">fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-sirius.img" and it put the device into a bootloop.
I got it to work. Using Rashr I installed TWRP.

After installing the NUT’s DualRecovery, TWRP thought my phone was tianchi ( Sony Xperia T2 Ultra ).
I got Cyanogenmod working at last ( by flashing the boot.img inside the zip ), Everything seems to work fine for me. I even flashed CM 12.1 unofficial port by infected_. It still works fine for me... Try flashing the boot.img again and see if it works.. Also have you flashed other kernels or mods?

Bricked after attempt to flash install TWRP

After reviving my SGP311 with flashtool and firmware SGP311_10.4.B.0.577_Customized_NCB.ftf , I've decided to try TWRP and LineageOS, however after using flashtool and firmware SGP311_10.5.A.0.230_kernel I may have bricked it.
I've used Android 4.3.3 (SGP311_10.4.B.0.577_Customized_NCB.ftf) for a few days, but it's old as s* and I can't install anything on it.
After flashing SGP311_10.5.A.0.230_kernel the SGP311 got stuck in a boot loop after the Sony logo, briefly lighting up the screen over and over again. From this point onwards:
- flashtool fails with "The bundle does not match the connected device"
- Emma doesn't recognize the tablet model and fails with error "This phone is locked"
- Xperia companion complained that the tablet was locked and bootloader was locked.
Any additional tips? I'm open to suggestions ...
Thanks in advance!
I've tried again flashtool 0.9.18.6 with SGP311_10.5.A.0.230_kernel and it flashed sucessfully! But same boot loop problem. Tried to flash again SGP311_10.4.B.0.577_Customized_NCB.ftf and it also worked and it booted successfully! I can't figure out what changed. I'll try again to install TWRP and LineageOS ...

Glad you made it. I am also in process of reviving my 321. Flashtool fixed it and Emma worked fine after that.
TWRP does not work, spent lot of time with that. Let me know, if you make it through
Got it working! Follow this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...de-tutorial-sony-xperia-tablet-z-lte-t3392831
The important part is, that the fastboot included there works, while the one provided by google do not. Do not ask me why...
