I need major help

I need help getting xrecovery on my phone. Ive been trying to ultimately flash a 2.2.1 rom with no avail. the guide isnt noob enough. Somehow I got a x10i rom on my phone but not quite sure what I did. im frustrated and about to throw my phone. Second question when flashing roms on my old captivate it was much easier anyway to make the rom switching on this phone easier? please help

Grab the flashtool in the android development section, with that you can install busybox, xrecovery, root, flash new firmware etc etc. Once that is all done switching roms is piece of cake
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

I have flash tool installed. I have a rom for a x10i on the phone now. I want to try a different rom I just forgot what buttons I pushed to get the rom I have. My main problem is I cant find the .ftf file and flash it for the diff roms. I know Im suppose to copy that file and then use flash tools but havent figured out A) where to find that file B) what to do with it. my phone is rooted,bussy box,flashed.
when i got the phone I had xrecovery installed and that was so easy to use but i had to a warranty exchange and now I have no clue how to instal that program on my own.

u tried the Q&A section

yes, i been studying the flash tool for noobs all yesterday. My main problem is my first android was the captivate and all I had to was flash the desired rom so I was able to flash multiple roms at any given time. Comming to the xperia I have to worry about choosing roms, find related basebands. its very aggrevating.
I dont even know how to flash new basebands btw.

do all froyo roms come with apps2sd? I just need two features that i car ebaout app2sd and froyo rom so i can watch flash content. If the rom does not have it preinstalled how do i get a similar app for that function? I was reading on a pp called data2sd but it seems like a inferior product

Download Flashtool and install.
Make sure you have the drivers installed:
Open "ggsetup-2.2.0.10.exe" in the "Drivers" folder where you installed Flashtool to install the drivers.
Plug your phone into the computer, once the phone is recognized, click "Root".
Once done, reboot your phone.
Plug it back into the computer, once recognized, click "Ask Root Permissions".
SuperUser should ask for permissions on your phone, and say "Allow".
Then you should be able to click "xRecovery" in Flashtool that will install xRecovery on your phone.
To access xRecovery, reboot the phone and press the back key a few times when the "Sony Ericsson" screen comes up.
Volume up moves selection up.
Volume down moves selection down.
Back is back.
Menu is select.
Download ROM of your choice.
Place on SD card and boot into xRecovery.
Make backup of your current ROM.
Then select "Factory Reset", then "Wipe Cache".
Then go to "Advanced", select "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Go back to main menu and select "Install Custom Zip", then navigate to your ROM on your SD card.
Install and reboot.
Download your desired baseband
Unpack baseband .ftf to the "Firmware" folder where you installed Flashtool.
Turn off your phone.
Click "Flash" in in Flashtool.
Select your baseband on the left and all the files for the baseband on the right.
Click "OK"
On screen instructions:
"1-Unplug the device"
"2-Power off the device"
"3-Press the back button and hold it"
"4-Plug the USB cable"
Once that window goes away, you can let go of the back button.
You should now have the baseband you selected.
If you have any issues with no signal after a few reboot of your device, go to "Developers Tools" select "Bad Behavior" then "Crash System Server"
This should fix it.
If not, check baseband requirements and ensure you flashed the proper one or refer to here for cobrato's baseband patches.

Not all ROMs have app2sd on them.
You'll have to browse the development thread for the one that you like.
Also, make sure you have at least a class 8 16gb SD card for optimum performance.

I have the drivers installed, because my pc and phone can interact with each other and I can share files among them. Would it be wise to delete the program and start all over from scratch

Thanks for the noob instructions i am rooted but I cant click on xrecovery because that option is grayed out

update:
I am rooted,x recovery installed
I go to x10flasher and when I try to flash .58 baseband in the firmware folder I cant see it through it the x10 flasher program but I can see it otherwise..
or do I use xrecovery program to flash rom and baseband.
In the xrecovery program I dont see the rom I placed in root of the sd card I have installed on my phone

This is what you should have for firmware. .ftf files in the Firmware folder.
Make sure you select all of the .sin files on the left
You can't flash firmware from xRecovery. Only in Flashtool.
Is your ROM in .zip format? Some developers have them in a .rar and need to have the .zip extracted.

I actually had to click ask for root permission 2x before i could allow it on my phone. right now I have xrecovery on my phone, bussy box,root all working Im trying to flash .58 from .49 baseband and then install a rom and ill be done so im like 80% done thanks for guys help Btw

No prob. Hope all works out.

Ive only seen that screen shot one time when I flashed some x10i firmware. I have not seen that screen shot ever since. Last night i was pushing random buttons and flashed my current rom but now that im serious I cant get all the steps right. I have the rom and baseband i firmware folder but that screan grab still doesnt come up. the basbeband Is a lone .fif file but not sure what format the rom I want is in. when I unzip it which file Im I looking for

I figured out how to install basebands I guess I was putting basebands in the wrong folder.

I finally flashed my desired rom so thats for your help

If it's a rom, then it should be in a .zip format which you should flash it through xRecovery.

I need help again, Im on my third x10a. I bricked the last phone and got a replacement. Now when I plug my phone into the pc and try acess x10 flasher the root option is grayed out. I try other root options but they just crash my pc(superoneclick) All i want to do is get my phone to the newly released 2.1 b firmware from sony and root. Please help me again

[GUIDE] How to Install Cyanogenmod 7.1 from Stock 2.1

The procedure is quite simple.
Step 1.
Download the following tools:
Cyanogen Mod 7.1 for Xperia X8 (code named Shakira)
FlashTool
FXP030 kernel (2.6.29)
Step 2.
Step 2.1
Follow the guide located here to unlock your bootloader, do this before continuing with the rest of this guide it is important to have your stock firmware rooted for this step.
Step 2.2
Unzip flashtool to its own folder e.g. /Flashtool/.
Unzip FXP030 kernel to the Flashtool/firmwares/ folder - the directory should look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 3.
Step 3.1
Open Flashtool and click on the 'Flash' button, select the FXP firmware from the list on the left hand side and click OK.
Step 3.2
Follow the on screen instructions.
Step 4.
Copy the update-cm-7.1.0-X8-signed.zip to the root of your MicroSD Card as shown below. (Please note that you can do this using a MicroSD Card reader OR your USB cable.
If you do not have a card reader then switch your phone on after flashing the FXP kernel and when you see the FreeXperia logo, repeatedly press the Back button until CWM loads. Once CWM has loaded scroll down to the Mounts and Storage menu. Once on the mounts and Storage menu scoll down to mount USB Storage and copy the update-cm-7.1.0-X8-signed.zip file to the root of the SD card.
Step 5.
Load CWM via the method described in Step 4 and select 'Install Zip from SD card.' then select 'Choose Zip from sdcard' and select the update-cm-7.1.0-X8-signed.zip that you copied over to the root of the SDCard in the previous step, Select the yes option using the volume buttons and let CWM work its witchcraft.
Step 6.
Go back to the main menu of CWM and select 'wipe data/factory reset'.
Next from the main menu of CWM select 'wipe cache partition'.
Finally from the main menu of CWM select 'Advanced' and 'wipe dalvik cache.
Optional
If you want the google apps installed you can download them here. To install them perform Step 4 through to Step 5 and instead of copying 'update-cm-7.1.0-X8-signed.zip' to the root of your sdcard, copy gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip instead. All instructions in Step 4 and Step 5 that state you should use 'update-cm-7.1.0-X8-signed.zip' should use the file 'gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip' instead.
Notes:
I'm having issues with the networking with this custom firmware, specifically the network (3G or WiFi) seems to 'drop' after any amount of small usage. If I use a Browser or the Market place for a short amount of time, they simply end up unable to load any pages whilst android reports that wifi/3g signal strengths are full. I tested the connectivity using ping commands from terminal and pings are succesfull. I'm unsure where the issue lies. I suspect however the issue is in the FXP Kernel, some people have reported using FXP 028 Kernel resolves the issues but I've been unable to find them.
Anyway I hope this helps people who are confused as to how to install this.

Thanks to Paschalis for correcting an error in my wording.
Thanks go to dbts25 for pointing out mistakes and un-neccessary steps in the guide, sincethen the guide has been edited to be easier to follow and less convoluted.
Thanks go to rav3n_pl for the revised bootloader bundled with the kernel.

Vanilla is the AOSP, Android Open Source Project..
You mean stock, right?
Btw this kernel has wifi issues?
Tried many kernels, and wifi wont open with none of them..

Ah Yes, I mean stock. It's 2:34am... That's my excuse haha, between university and sleep deprivation the mistakes keep mounting hehe. Thanks for pointing that out anyways.
And yes, it seems this kernel has issues with data connectivity, and call volume as well for some odd reason. It boggles the mind as to why it's been labelled 'stable'. Stable usually means it's solid and won't fall over and die, plus data connectivity on an android handset is really a critical feature, if it is buggy the custom firmware should not be labelled as stable.

It really need custom kernel?

Hehe.. Same university thing here, only difference here its 4:40, and got lesson at 8:30..
On my other phone, CM is beta and not Official yet, and its working perfectly, except 2 special features they didnt port yet, from stock rom..
If you find the 28 kernel, post it, until they release the 31!
Thanks!

Yes, if you don't use a custom firmware it will get stuck in a boot loop and be unable to boot.

If I come across it I will, I'll edit my guide to feature it as a work around for connectivity issues for people in the meantime, if it works correctly.
I've got to admit though, issues aside - it is amazing what the open source community is capable of creating. CM 7.1 looks absolutely fantastic, I love the boot animation.

I have tried FXP028, FXP030 and the one that is included with the CM7.1 release, i'm having network problems with all of them.

Step 5.
Turn your phone on and repeatedly press the back button until you are displayed with the CWM menu. On this menu select 'install zip from sdcard' and then choose the 'choose zip from sdcard' select the cyanogenmod file you downloaded and let it do its thing.

In step 5 you forgot one thing:
Flash Google Apps. You can find it here: http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip
Step 2 is unnecessary, because CWM Recovery is built-in FXP Kernel so you don't need to install it.

has any of you tried the dx kernel yet? with cynanogen mod 7.1

No workie. Rom+kernel need match.

Unfortunately the rom will not boot with the DX kernel, I tried it myself and it gets stuck in a boot loop.

I have included the correct kernel for the official cyanogenmod 7.1 rom and slipstreamed your edited loader into the kernel package for peoples convenience. Thanks for linking me to your post!
Hope this helps people!

It seems that this Rom and kernel [cm7] doesn't work.When i flash the kernel my SD is not recognized.And if i uninstall the kernel and try to flash the rom...i get a biiiiigg eror

i hope that they will also make a ROM that is compatible with stock kernel so that it will be easy to install... im having second thought of unlocking my bootloader because of this:
Before I start I must emphasise the fact that meddling with the bootloader is highly dangerous and will result in a hard brick if you don't follow proper instructions. Then, you will have to go and repair your phone by sending it to SE . I am not responsible if your phone dies on you because you didn't follow instructions or you screwed up somehow. I must also mention that this will probably void your warranty (rooting already probably voided it though) and that there is NO WAY to relock bootloader as of now.

i know they can make one because they are great programmer...

I`m not 100% sure that cm71 rom will work on stock kernel...
When I flashed it under installed CM7 it stuck on bootanimation. Mybe full wipe? Not tried.

Hello
I installed on my Xperia X8 CM7.1 (I had version 2.1 of Android root), but it does not work the WiFi network and the 3G connection is disconnected, it did not work properly Market (having installed the GAPPS). My question, is there any way to get back to my terminal to android 2.1? I did a Back up of my system, but in trying to restore from CWM mistake I make, I guess it is for the kernel.

You have an U8800-51, forget ANY Rom with number B927 or B928. For ICS, only use the Aurora 4.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1532662):cool:

B928 is excellent i highly recommend it.But after i flashed step one phone went into bootloop.So i copied step 2 in the sd and made a forced update pressing vol+ vol- and powerbutton and everything worked ok.Step 3 went smoothly.

[Recovery] Unofficial CWM Recovery Touch v6.0.1.0 for u8800pro&u8800

I take no responsibility for any harm that comes to your phone as a result of applying this mod.
CWMR Touch V6.0.1.0 with 3.0.8 kernel, adb work perfect, no need to reboot recovery for SD card mount.
Installation Instructions:
Unplug any usb connection and turn the phone completely off
Whilst holding both the volume + and volume - keys hold the power button to turn the device on. Let go when you see a pink/purple screen.
Attach the usb cable to your computer and wait until a few usb mass storage devices are detected and mounted. Look for one that has just one directory called 'image' in it. Navigate into this directory and you'll see recovery.img etc.
(optional) Rename recovery.img to recovery_backup.img
copy the new recovery.img to image, unmount the mass storage device (safely remove in windows) and then pull the battery out to turn the phone off.
Hold volume + and power to boot to recovery.
Install any custom rom

I am the only dumbass here, or the bootloader on my orig. ICS is really locked, so I have no image folder on pinkscreen. I can access the folder via rootexplorer, but I have fear to replace the file. If the phone does not boot up after, I'll have a little problem. Bronxie, does it works on rooted original?

you are dumbass, this is for 2.3 baseband roms

This CWM is a new replacement of older 5.0.2.7 version.
If someone is using Stock ICS ROM downloaded from oficial site... this cwm is not for you!!! So why you are not using "ported" stock ics or custom rom based on ics flashable via cwm? Low in-call sound is fixed in B928 and modified roms based on this one.
P.S. Now working on some other interesting things. Thanks for not disturbing

May be help me recover also what happens to my device and can't power off (if USB connected restarts always)
Did you heart something similar?

is usb storage from the mounts and storage menu working corectrly?

gyankamp1: there is a tiny issue in this cwm, when phone off and charging, there's no battery charging animation, but abaut power on... don't know.
Edis: it should take you less then 5 min to find out you're self. Yes working.
Sent from my ragelis

Not for, but with.
CWM is a some kind of tiny operating system with build in kernel. ICS customs is based on GB Basebands and it doesn't matter you flash GB or ICS ROM's this CWM will work (don't know how it works on Eclair based ROMs).
Stock ICS ROMs downloaded from huawey site ad flashed via dload folder has bootloader signature verification if someone changes anything there, they will get soft brick!
Some users working on unlocking bootloader I hope they will sucsess, because for know they have done a big progress in that way.

yes, found that bug, trying to fix. what is the purpose for charging the phone when it is off? phone is a such thing for connecting with others so why it is turned off?

Thanks .
About turn off.
must be somthing else. I am not absolutely sure but those strategy behavior could be a system protection when somthing going wrong.:-[ It must be appear also as an automatic redirection to recovery mode(CWM OR STOCK ). Must be involved splash screen and the number 5 extended partition.Huawei surely always try to make unique roms. That means mixtures is little bit risky(NO FATAL ERRORS but thoose strange behavior ).
Last words:
ICS OFFICIAL have many new hidden checks.Some people say just install and then go to MIui(as example )Then start saying about Miui problems.... I will never use official main update again. (For secure reversing i restore ALL internal memory 4Gb from the original 2. 3 stock )and all works well. INCLUDING CWM.

I just tried this recovery and it' s very nice.
I tried the nanroid backup and found that uses a different method, doesn't create tar archives, but small .dup files and a folder called blobs which seems that contains the rom's data. So, I suppose that will be incompatible with backups from other recoverys(is this true?) and also seems that doesn't compress the data(the blobs folder is 1,5GB) and this wastes a lot of space on sd card.
Is there any posibility to change this?

Hello, i tried to do this, with an ideos 8800pro, with root permission and original firmware from Huawei website B927...
Now, when i turn on the phone, it print on screen "Image signature verify fail", if i press volume +, volume - and power i get a pink screen. If i link it with usb to my computer i can't see a removible disk, so i can't restore the original recovery.img...
So what can i do? I'll be able to save the data inside the phone?
Thanks

ICS Roms have locked bootloader. Downgrade to any official Gingerbread ROM(B572) by flashing only step 2 update.app and then try to flash this recovery.

OK. but you should write that if asserts in update-script will be for non pro version, you must delete that line from script.

can' t go back stock rom

I my device is p9 lite vns l31. Now I am in elite roam v 7.1 , I want to go back stock roam. Stock roam b360 was flashed using dload method. That step properly done. After twrp recovery was installed then vns l31 full spaces flash through the twrp. But that step not properly completed. Now only Google voice typing,no keyboard,no system updater, build no says generic room or something. Pls help me to solve this problem.

Hey ! well i'm not a pro but did you download the full update ? the 2gig one ? and also was it the correct region ? (C432 for europ... c185 for north africa... )

I had similar problem which I was able to solve by following procedure (it's semi-complicated):
Get 'Firmware finder' from Google Play. Download your CORRECT FullOTA upgrade - VNS-L31CxxxBxxx. Select only Update.zip (the other one didn't work in updater, anyway, but that will be solved later).
After completion, there's a HWFF folder In Internal storage that has that zip.
If MTP is working, move zip to PC and unzip it into a new folder and rename it to "dload". Then move this folder to your SDcard.
If MTP is not working, move zip on phone with File manager to SDcard and then use adapter to put SDcard into PC and do the same as above (unzip, dload, ...).
Unplug USB cable and shutdown phone. Put SDcard into phone slot and use 3-button method (all 3 hardware keys pressed until EMUI logo shows up) to force upgrade.
Then if you succeed with that, let me know for next step (resulting in a full working system with all the apps).

Hey Krucifer !!! im facing the same problem ! the good thing is that by following your steps i boot into the recovery and it start updating...
the bad news is that it fails... im using a l31 c185 B385 i downloaded (the full package of 3 zips !!!) should i download an anterior version !? :/ !
Edit : okay looks like i can't use the dload method with ANY stock rom... so i have to download the correct one and will report after that !

Exactly.
Try FullOTA-MF-PV (that's the only one that worked for me) and make sure you use odd number (B371, B381) for single sim and even number (B370, B380) for dual sim.
Also, DL only update.zip and extract it do dload. Other files will fail. You'll have to use In-app proxy of Firmware Finder for full fix.
If you get stuck with it, let me know and I'll write step by step.

Extract your update file using update extractor. There are boot.img,cust.img and system.img.then go fastboot mood and use adb minimal. Then flash them using adb minimal fastboot flash system system.img,fastboot flash boot boot.img, fastboot flash cust cust.img

It's better to try different update.zip files from Firmware Finder than to risk bricking by forcefully flashing something wrong.
I tried a few that didn't work but then one worked.
But to be honest, Elite ROM is much better than stock and I returned back to it. It has more options than stock. I miss even more options (like in crDroid) but I like stock look more than that of Lineage.

That's true bro. But I think elite roam battery drain higher than the stock roam. That is the problem bro.

I haven't paid much attention but so far I don't see any difference.
And it shouldn't have more battery drain since it's ported stock from P10 lite.
