[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would not budge, so i decided to remake it, after about 4 hours i was able to get a OS on it, but this OS was older and out of date, when trying to go back to xRecovery it did not want to come up, i downloaded a Reboot to Recovery APK, which informed me that My "xRecovery" was not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.

Download the latest version of the rom again and unzip it. Then you should have the boot.img. If not download any other kernel for jelly bean for your device and flash it
Afterwards flash the rom again

This was discussed many times and it doesn't work because we have no separate recovery partition on our phones, kernel and recovery is one partition so it's impossible

Hi,
I m trying to flash Cynogen Mod 12 on my Xperia L phone, using FlashTool.
However, unlike .ftf file, FlashTool is not recognising the zip. I even tried to extract the zip in a folder containing boot.img, still the FlashTool is not recognizing anything there.
Please help.

I'd suggest you flash it from the recovery. It's a more successful and preferred option.

Update FW .69 to .314

my xperia Z2 D6503, has build number 17.1.A.2.69, unlocked bootloader, and rooted
im planning to update it to .314, how can i do this? is it ok to update (.314) at sony pc companion? i know my root will be lost, so i should re-root again, no problem for me. but updating in pc companion with my rooted .69, should there be no problems at all?
i have a backed up rom (.69) with nut dual recovery, if any problems can i boot again in recovery? im thinking because root will be lost, recovery should also be lost.
or
can i flash new roms here like aroma? or any modded roms, i believe this roms are from build .314, from stock .69?
i read about flashing this customs rom, but other requires that the base roms should be .314
im so sorry if i have lots of questions, and im reading all the facts here in forum about Z2, im just careful enough not to mess up my Z2. i had xperia Z before and done lots of flashing new roms and root, but just to be careful with my Z2..
thanks in advance for any kind of info/replies.

the easiest way to do this is to use flashtool and a FTF
just simply exclude Data
i dont think you can flash across stock based rom versions without data wipe, it hasnt worked any time i tried, i used flashtool instead
- do i need to explain how to do this?

a million thanks
thank you very much.. this is a big info on me..
If you are rooted & bootloader unlocked then OTA update & PC companion updates will fail with modified software error message.
Like Envious_Data said you would need to use FlashTool & untick data in the wipe options to keep your data, you will lose root & the dual recoveries but you can easily use EasyRoot to root again then use the installer version of [NUT] dual recoveries.
I had some issues with SuperUser with data wipe unticked so ended up doing full wipe in FlashTool.
Good luck
use flashtool is very fast...
cant see the firmware on flashtool
i had downloaded the stock rom .314 RU, from the given list of Stock Roms on that page, the file is in Zip, when i moved the zip file on flashtool/firmware i cant see the ftf file. all i see is Device: X10, Version: V1, Branding: BLRelock
am i doing wrong?
If the FTF file is in a zip or rar archive file then you will need to extract it first, open the zip file & if there is one file in it with FTF extension then drag it from the zip to the firmwares folder in flashtool.
eg if you have installed flashtool to program files directory in windows open the zip file then browse to the flashtool\firmwares folder & then drag the zip file to the firmwares folder, it should then appear in flashtool when you click the flash button, just make sure you select the firmware FTF file & NOT the X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf file.
Thanks for the Help Guys
Thank you very much
Im now updated to .314 and searching for an update to .402
the one i downloaded zip file has no ftf extension, i think its a stock rom in rar file and is installable in recovery mode, so i search and find a file w/c is in unbranded-Australia with ftf extension
im now rooted in .314 and searches for a good ROM for my Z2
Again. Thanks for the help Guys... You're all the best. :good: :good:

How should I go about flashing a firmware with flashtool?

So I downloaded the firmware I want with XperiFirm (it's the newest stock firmware for my region - 3.111) aaand I don't really know how to flash it. XperiFirm just gave me a folder with a bunch of files and there is no .ftf file which I thought flashtool needed. Can anyone give me a quick "tutorial" on how to flash this to my device? Thanks EDIT: I started flashing but the process seems to be stuck at "Opening TA Partition 1" Should I just give it more time or try again?
U need to compile that folder in to a ftf file using flashtool. After that u can flash it. Tools/bundles/create thats where u can compile it. If u don't know how to proceed from that point just search from google "how to make ftf file with flashtool"

I got stuck with recovery also, the only easy option that helped we was flashing ftf in flashtool.
Make sure that firmware that you download with xperifirm is not unpacked immediatly. (dont tick the checkbox), unpack it later with flashtool and it wont give you errors

The newest flashtool by androxyde has all of this in one package.
