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.
ok so when i was trying out a custom GB Rom which requires flashing of stock GB,i forgot to flash the stock and flashed the custom GB straight from my ICS 4.0.4. it got bricked and i used the sony update service[not pc companion,in case you don't know] to fix the brick and it returned to stock ICS 4.0.4 . After that,i have forgotten that stock ICS does not have root access. so i went to flash other custom ICS ROM straight away cause i'm used to flashing different custom ROM and now it stuck at CWM. Now it has been officially bricked,the only thing i can access is CWM. what can i do now?? i've tried sony update service and it says i have the latest stuff and i also can't flash any rom since i have no root access and i also can't flash stock ftf file since usb debugging and stuffs are required to flash stock. so what can i do now??
thanks in advance
PS: I've tried using the file called Unbricking xperia 2011 as well,doesn't work
Edit: got it back,i flashed 2.3.4 ftf. i guess the previous ftf i flashed was corrupted
flash a 4.0.4 FTF file using flashtool
I installed busybox by "smart install"
I had problems, including version revert after reboot.
I reflashed the ROM (wiped data)
I installed busybox again.
But the problem remained.
It reverts to older version after I reboot device.
I've tried to flash busybox via CWM but that didn't help.
Has anyone had similar problem? How did you fix it?
I tried between three ROMs, which were all stock-based.
Moved to Q&A
Some custom kernels have autoroot(root+busybox install on boot) feature, so busybox gets installed again by the kernel on every boot.
Are you using mesa kernel? If yes, you can't upgrade busybox, it will always revert to old version...
Now I'm using rage kernel 3.0 (GB). The the problem is everytime I install newer version Bysybox and reboot my phone it will revert to version 1.19.3-cm71 with. So, My Backup, Lucky Patcher, etc. doesn't work properly. Since I can't find many GB kernel, can I remove/disable kernel's autoroot?
Thanks.
PS. My phone is Xperia Active (ST17i SATSUMA)
Try rerooting device but with both newer versions of su and busybox
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.
