that is the only backup i have but i cant access even the home screen thus i cannot go into that backupandrestore app to restore my phone...
help please! someone!
Repair your phone(PCC or SEUS)
The same thing happened to me. I tried to enable JIT and now the reboot keeps looping. I can't access xRecovery, and when I try to repair the system PC Companion says that no software available for my phone yet. (I don't really understand why it says yet.)
I'm a noob and I'm now panicking.
What should I do?
i tried repairing with SEUS but my phone just wont connect whenever it asks me to press the back button T_T
I managed to get back the 1.6 system to my phone with the flasher by bin4ry. It has started repairing at first.
Now I'm relieved.

Just Install SE Update Service and follow the steps. It will say that you allready have newest softeare but you just click install. wait for installation to finish.
unplug the phone and power the phone.
after 2 min, phone working.
same thing happened to me after i installed JiT
i do not know why and therefore i can not have Jit
i think i might know the answer
does jit fail on phones with a lot of sotftware installed?
on a fresh phone after a flash or a restore i think it always works
I recently found the phone numbers in contacts being displayed like 123-456-789. Previously it was being displayed without "-". I tried to change the locale & regional settings but it didn't work ! Why is it so ? Now After I factory resetted the phone & selected locale & English (US), though this problem got sorted out. I am facing two new problems. My Android market does not update itself !!!!!!!!! & the progress of the ongoing downloads does not show/appears blank. I am very worried. plzz tell me what to do !! i am using stock 2.1 V20c (India) ROM in my rooted gt540. Previously I never had any issues with my phone. Plzz help it's urgent. I have tried to master reset my phn 5 times hoping the problem wud get solved but it didn't.
New problem- new downloads take a lot of time to start after they have been queued for download
well... I`am not sure if this will help....but i had some issues with market not updating itsef and displaying wrong letters in system...so i formated my system, boot, data and cache partition through clockworkmod recovery and then restored from backup, after that everything worked fine...now, I assume you don`t have a backup, or clockworkmod recovery....or do you??
No.. I dnt hav a backup. Recently when I rooted my phone I deleted everything in the system cache folder and also removed some built in apps like SNS,layar,task killer, vid editor and wapedia thinking this wud free up internal memory. I think that is where the prob originated. Now tell me wat to do...

Try to flash ur phone with M6 or something like that...
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
I would reinstall the operating system (and i suggest you to do that)....first install rom manager from market.. if you can..then while still conected to internet install clockworkmod recovery (you`ll see an optyion in rom manager) when you do that..try to boot into recovery by presing power button (first shutdown your phone.....) and home button, when it turns on(holding) if you get something new...a menu, that`s recovery... now go and make a backup of you existing system....that way even if you make some bad choices you can always get your system back.........from this point you can put any ROM you like.... just download wanted ROM put it on the root(outside of any folder) of your sdcard ond go into recovery and choose instal from .zip.........I don`t have the time to search the stock 2.1 ROM v20c for you to install...you could try google
EDIT: here you can find all ROM-s, even a backup of 2.1
@ssik -- thanku so much 4 d detailed info..buddy.. as far as the complete list of original stock ROM's link goes... I already hav the link.. so u didn't hav to search it 4 me...anyways since u hav already done..thanx a lot..i owe u a lot 4 dat. so dont get disgusted..since I am new to this modding thing I feel frightened to hav my phn bricked while flashing...so I was asking 4 any othr alternative.
How to select my device in rom manager ? Since gt540 is not present in device list ? Does my phn's firmware needs to be fastboot enabled so that I can install clockwork ?

you welcome @sujitmohanty .....while in a rom manager (conected to internet aswel) just press flash clockworkmod recovery, wait till its finished and then try to boot into recovery mod as described, if that doesn`t work then we`ll do something else.... let me know if it works... and ask for any help you need... I was also as frightened as you in my beginnings )
ok dear..got it ! I wil be definitely doing it but today. I will be carrying it out tmrw cozz now its 8.23 p.m here in india and I am feeling bit tired. aft I do it, I wil b informing u in this thread or thru PM. till then take care.. and lastly once again thank u very very much for lending ur support and instilling confidence in me.
The guy above is telling you BS. You cannot flash clockwork on our device through ROM manager. It must be flashed in fastboot.

I think there is but it is untested and only just my theory.
Also, it doesn't matter what fastboot rom you flash, they all work the same, regardless of country etc
EDIT: Look at this..

It tells you everything on how to flash a fastboot ROM and that.
Ignore step 1 btw, it is un-needed.

he could also use a program on the market called yaffsexpert with the recovery_clockwork_2.5.1.8_swift.img ----> ***.mediafire.com/?sax544hf3cye3gx (www insted of ***)
on root his sdcard.... less risky for him

I tried that but it didn't work for me before lol I've just went for the old fashioned fastboot method Also I was on about the ROM Manager thing because it doesn't support our device.

Hi all..
I'm sending my wife's X8 for warranty repair..
I've flashed back the stock ROM which came with the phone via xRecovery (flashed custom ROM before this)
Now, is it safe to leave xRecovery there? Or do I need to uninstall it?
If I need to, how? I performed a search but can't find anything about how to uninstall, only how to install..
I'm using xRecovery _E15i_installer.apk
Any help will be appreciated and thanked of course
I think the apk is somewhere in the system/apps folder aswell, but i don't know if it's save to remove it, neither if it'd be all gone by that aswell...
after flashing 2.1 from xrecovery try to install(repair) system from pc companion.(like you did when moving from 1.6 to 2.1) and phone will lose xrecovery and root too p.s and if about apk you can just remove it easily from terminal emulator
Both times I sent my X8 for repair, I first backed up my ROM and then reinstalled fresh stock with SEUS.

Hello everybody. It looks like someone gave me an almost dead phone; x8 without a launcher.
I don't know how he managed to delete it but when i power on the phone, it only shows the notification bar with signal and battery. everything else is just "gone".
So, how can I make it work again ? the phone is unrooted and the menu is inaccessible to me ...
Thanks in advance.
Alex

Have you tried to make a flashable zip with a launcher like launcher pro?
maybe there is no launcher app, if you install one via ADB Shell or Flashable ZIP you can maybe solve this
Phone is NOT rooted.... ur screwd. Rescue it by SEUS, but you will lose your apps and settings.

oh gosh... and what about debug mode? if it is on you can simply use ADB to push a launcher :S
Hi,

I have never done that, but maybe you can install launcher.apk with flashtool (not sure does it require root).Hope I helped.

install or move to /sistem/app and make the permisions
you can use X10FlashTool to install any launcher (not move it to system/app)
install any launcher and then install root explorer, use root explorer, copy the file to system/app, fix the permission like this:

Don't want to root? Download Update Service from SE and install it. After that, open it and do the steps. Dont forget to backup your data!
Say thanks button if i helped you
I've had this problem one. Just follow the PC Companon instructions and you'll be fine, trust me!
Sign in your Google account.Enter market.Install any launcher.Wait for phone to receive and install.Press HOME on phone.Choose launcher.
how do you wan to add google account if you can't launch anything ?
I meant enter market through PC.
Does this phone have a custom recovery and ROM? If so just flash the recovery in fastboot from a PC and then use recovery to flash a rom.
Boot phone in to fastboot, plug it in to the computer, open command prompt(assuming you have SDK set-up) and navigate to the recovery.img path and type
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery.img)
Then use the recovery to flash your ROM.
I did the same thing to my last phone. Factory data reset with no launcher in system. Find it hard to believe its not rooted.
Sent from where ever I was when I posted this
Just download a Launcher .apk, and install it with "adb install 'Launchername'.apk

I installed CWM through the Xperia CWM Auto-installer.
"https://market.android.com/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler"
Since their aren't very many roms and I have insurance on my phone and I don't want to void the insurance someone help me figure out how to remove CWM. BTW it instals CWM 5.0.2.7
I tried the CWM-Safe-remover.zip but it doesn't remove one bit of it at all.
You cant you have root files in /xbin which I think brick your device if removed first step unroot l, then flash via Flashtool a Standard .Ftf.
Well debranding voids Carrier warranty :/ so... You could try pc companions and select data reset and reset the while nand etc.

Dude I can't understand your grammar. But thanks for the post.
So what you're saying is that I can use the tool provided by Sony to flash the next OTA or current firmware and I'll get the stock recovery?
Use Flashtool to flash it back to stock 2.3.3. Make sure you use the .ftf package that wipes everything, and it should get rid of the custom recovery.
Can you give me a link to the .ftf that will wipe everything please.
Search for xperia play super compilation you'll find the link.
Basically upating via pc companion doesn't wipe memory apps installed root but superuser will be gone but root is there.
CWM has to be removed by flashtool.

The links are all dead, and I have an R800x since that will make a huge difference in firmware selection. So how about I wait till the next OTA, will it remove when I try to install it?

Dude we're talking about CWM here not root. There is a difference, although the subject of rooting is involved. I get annoyed when people don't actually read the original topic.
