[ How To ]
*FOLLOW THE STEPS PRECISELY ELSE U WILL GET STUCK*
download the ftf bundle & compressed recovery image from linnks below
extract the contents of the recovery image to a folder on desktop
u will get a folder with 4 files as shown below:
connect device to PC and mount sdcard
copy that extrated folder to /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/
so final path to folder & files should look like:
/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_fixed_rec/cache.img
/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_fixed_rec/data.img
/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_fixed_rec/nandroid.md5
/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_fixed_rec/system.img
once copying is finished unmount sdcard and disconnect cable
reboot into recovery and restore this backup
AFTER RESTORE IS DONE DO NOT REBOOT
directly remove battery and wait for few minutes (since we dont have power off in recovery this is crude way to do it)
now start flashtool and connect X10 in flash mode and flash the ftf bundle provided below
after flashing is complete just restart device and enjoy prerooted X10 SE 2.3.3 GB!!!

if u get adb push errors to /system then anantshri has a solution: check here
NO-KNOWN root exploit was used! all the info on how to do this is already there in the threads i had created earlier and of-course using some ingenuous thinking ... u can check my sig for the links to those threads...

Just download the latest flashtool, connect your phone and press root , after that your phone will restart then ask root perms from flashtool again and install xrecovery through flashtool again.
Thats all good luck

Hey guys I was able to get a script (now an APP) together to reboot into recovery (xRecovery / FreeXperia Recovery) from within the OS.
firstly i would like to thank Bin4ry & Androxyde for the FlashTool and the option to "reboot into xrecovery from flashtool" as this mod/script is based on that..
and tremendouz and wiedz for inspiration...
DO NOT TRY THIS IF U USE DATA2SD... THIS CANNOT WORK, FOR NOW, ALONG WITH DATA2SD...

* warning *
this requires some advanced knowledge on how to modify system files, all step required are mentioned here, though if u are uncomfortable with it i will be attaching some pre-modified file for vanilla roms, which should work with most custom roms. in case they dont work u can just upload the 'chargemon' file located in /system/bin/ here and i will repost it the necessary modifications.
[MANUAL WAY]
[step 1] Modify boot hijack file 'chargemon'
(not required if u are on 2.1 stock se rom and have used Flashtool 0.2.8 to install xrecovery, in which case these modifications will already be in place)
- this file is located in /system/bin/
- make a backup of this file, on the sdcard, before editing
- i would recommend using Root Explorer to navigate to this file, mount the partition as r/w (click "Mount R/W" in upper right hand corner)
- long press on the 'chargemon' file this will bring up a menu and select "Open in Text Editor"
- find the following lines of text
Code:
if [ -s /dev/keycheck ]
then
- and modify it to the following
Code:
if [ -s /dev/keycheck -o -f /data/local/tmp/flashtool ]
then
# remove 'reboot into xrec' file
rm -f /data/local/tmp/flashtool
*** ONLY for those who have offline charging enabled in their roms (if u are uncertain about this just check if there is a file named 'charger' in /system/bin/ , most custom roms will have this feature) i have done some additional thing here, i have moved the placement of the command for the offline-charger file 'charger' to the beginning of this script so that even if anyone get stuck up at boot atleast they will be able to charge the device without getting into the OS. also please check for any other occurrence of the command '/system/bin/charger' anywhere else in the file, if there is another then just put a # in front of it like '# /system/bin/charger' ***
*** if u dont have the /system/bin/charger file then dont bother with the following code ***
Code:
/system/bin/charger
if [ -s /dev/keycheck -o -f /data/local/tmp/flashtool ]
then
# remove 'reboot into xrec' file
rm -f /data/local/tmp/flashtool
- once u finish editing click on menu button and "Save & Exit"
- now u need to check the permissions of the 'chargemon' file. if u using Root Explorer navigate to '/system/bin/' then "mount r/w" and long press on 'chargemon' file and select 'Permissions'... make sure the permissions are as follows:
- after this i would suggest u restart the device to check if u are able to access xreovery the normal way (repeatedly pressing/tapping 'back' key when u see SE text logo) and if the device boot up into the OS without any issue
- incase everything goes well make a backup of this modified 'chargemon' file too, in case u have any problems put up a post here
* i will also be attaching some pre-modified generic files for vanilla roms, which should work with most custom roms. *
[step 2] the actual Reboot into xRecovery script
- u need to install the following app GScript Lite, our fellow XDA member rogro82 has posted this tool here
- after installing, launch the app, click on menu button, "Add Script"..
- fill up the text boxes as follows:
- u need to enter some name in the smaller textbox and the following into the large textbox:
Code:
touch /data/local/tmp/flashtool
reboot
* some custom roms are not permitting reboot command if SU rights are not there... u need to make sure that the option "Need SU?" is checked (ticked) else the device wont be able to reboot from the script... *
- now save the script
- u can create a shortcut on the homescreen to GScipt Lite and select the reboot into xrecovery script
- if u try running the script a popup for SU permissions might come up, this will only come the first time its run, select "Allow" and then ur device will reboot into xrecovery...
- thats it! now whenever u want to reboot into xrecovery just launch the shortcut!!!
also if anyone could integrate this into the Reboot options in Power menu it would be great for everyone!!!
may be modders/themers can add this into their reboot options of power menu in their themes...

I can't into the xrecovery and still into system when i run it(J's CM7)
Great idea! This would be even better if you could make it into some kind of apk to be able to do the nessesary changes?
Edit
I misunderstood. So for now reboot to recovery through power menu is still not possible? It would be great if it would be possible to make reboot to recovery possible through an apk or a newer modified recovery menu.

actually its in /system/bin/ for most roms.. in cm7 its in /system/recovery/ and if u use flashtool 0.2.8 to install xrecovery (on 2.1 roms) its in /system/recovtools/
but the thing is we are not touching xrec at the moment... i have jsut suggested changes to chargemon file, which will later execute commands to extract xrecovery, so only the 'if' condition is changed and one delete (rm) command added...

[DEV][How-To] Get Back to Stock Even With Broken / Damaged USB Port

{ INTRODUCTION }
Hi everyone.... I thought of working on this issue for helping users who have a broken or damaged USB port as they are stuck on custom (rooted/etc) roms and are unable to use FLASHTOOL to get back to stock SE firmware (FW)….
This is something that I have been working on for a few months now along with help from rendeiro2005.
A BIG thanks to Bin4ry & Androxyde for their inputs and for scripts in FLASHTOOL.
Also I want to tell everyone that one of the users miniGT has already used this and has sent his X10 for warranty claim and it WORKED!!!!
P.S.: i know that this is a VERY long post but actually its very easy to do...
PLEASE READ THE COMPLETE POST BEFORE TRYING ANYTHING OUT
DIFFICULTY: Medium
<- This is for Xperia X10 only but I am sure ppl can use similar technique to get back to stock even on other android devices ->
{ WHAT DOES THIS EXACTLY DO? }
Basically I have created this in two parts:
[1] I will provide nandroid/recovery backups of stock SE 2.1 ROMS which are/have:
Pre-rooted
Busybox installed (@ /system/xbin/ )
Working recovery (FreeXperia Recovery)
[2] A “Master Uninstaller Script” which can be flashed via recovery. This will basically remove:
busybox binary
busybox symbolic links (from /system/xbin/)
su binary
Superuser.apk app (from /system/app/Superuser.apk)
Recovery files (from /system/recovery/ & others)
chargemon & charger file (from /system/bin/)
and replace chargemon with original stock SE chargemon file
{ HOW TO USE IT? }
[ STEP 0 ] Requirements
This will work on ALL available custom/stock/modded roms
Make sure that u have a working recovery
SD Card reader / wifi explorer / some way to transfer big files to SDCARD
Know wht is the current baseband on ur phone (Settings -> About Phone -> Baseband Version)
Get/Find the true SI number of your phone. Its on the sticker below the battery or it will be on the original box of the phone. Its basically looks something like this: 1264-7894. This is required to get ur X10 back to original branding/region/
Highly recommend using Root Explorer (paid app from market) to change SI number. If required I will provide a shell script, to do this.
[ STEP 1 ] Preparing the files/folders
[1] You will need to download specific stock FW files which I will provide below. Only download that file which is compatible with ur current baseband.
Currently we have:
Code:
|- FIRMWARE -|- BASEBAND -|
---------------------------
2.1.B.0.1 - 2.1.67
2.1.A.0.492 - 2.1.65
2.1.1.A.0.28 - 2.1.61
2.1.1.A.0.16 - 2.1.58
2.1.1.A.0.6 - 2.1.55
2.1.A.0.435 - 2.1.54
2.0.2.A.0.24 - 2.0.49 / 2.0.52
2.0.A.0.504 - 2.0.46
As of now, I have only the nandroid/recovery backups of the following three firmwares:
GLOBAL GENERIC 2.1 [ X10i_2.0.A.0.504_stock.rar ]
(MD5 hash): aaa70f592f7eebe1d996a656d42ac1ef
GLOBAL GENERIC 2.1 [ X10a_2.1.A.0.435_stock.rar ]
(MD5 hash): db9ef9292aeab439ffb3791559c64603
AT&T Branded 2.1 [ X10a_2.1.A.0.492_AT&T_stock.rar ]
(MD5 hash): e281bbf1bde077f90d106fafe98d7c63
Ideally stick to (download) the specific stock ROM backup which is for the baseband on ur X10.
Even if the current baseband is different than the above files which I have listed don’t worry. If ur baseband version is:
2.0.46 / 2.0.49 / 2.0.52 u can still use the file: X10i_2.0.A.0.504_stock.rar
2.1.54 / 2.1.55 / 2.1.58 / 2.1.61 / 2.1.65 / 2.1.67 u can still use the file: X10a_2.1.A.0.435_stock.rar OR X10a_2.1.A.0.492_AT&T_stock.rar
So that atleast u get the radio (wcdma/gsm module) working
Upon request (and if I get time) I will create nandroid/recovery backups for other firmware’s also.
[2] Once u have downloaded the backup file for ur specific firmware:
extract it to a temporary folder on ur PC
the temporary folder will now have a new folder with 4 files:
cache.img
data.img
system.img
nandroid.md5
then connect the SDCARD of your X10 (sdcard reader/wifi explorer/samba file sharing app/etc)
place the extracted folder in /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/
[VVVIMP] verify the directory/file structure on sdcard. So e.g. if u have used X10i_2.0.A.0.504_stock.rar then the directory structure on ur sdcard (after copying the files) should be:
/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/X10i_2.0.A.0.504_stock/cache.img
/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/X10i_2.0.A.0.504_stock/data.img
/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/X10i_2.0.A.0.504_stock/system.img
/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/X10i_2.0.A.0.504_stock/nandroid.md5
Make sure that the above is correct and that there are no spaces in the file names else u WONT BE ABLE TO RESTORE THIS BACKUP
[3] Download the Master Uninstaller script. And place it in ur SDCARD (preferably root of sdcard i.e. /sdacard/ )… you can download it from here:
master_uninstaller_2.1only_v8.zip
the above Master Uninstaller script is an update.zip flashable via recovery.
[WARNING] THE ABOVE FILE WILL WORK ONLY ON 2.1 STOCK SE ROMS AND THAT TOO ON THE NANDROID/RECOVERY BACKUPS WHICH I PROVIDE
IF U USE THIS ON ANY OTHER ROM AND U END UP BREAKING UR SYSTEM/ANDROID OS THEN I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE
U HAVE BEEN INFORMED
[ STEP 3 ] Restoring provided nandroid/recovery backup & prepping system
verify that u have all the files in place from the above step.
if u want take a backup of ur current ROM because the following procedure will WIPE ur SYSTEM & DATA (it wont touch sdcard)
reboot into recovery and :
"Backup and Restore"
"Restore"
select the extracted image name (X10i_2.0.A.0.504_stock OR X10a_2.1.A.0.435_stock OR X10a_2.1.A.0.492_AT&T_stock)
now the restore process will start
it will take some time
after restore is complete Reboot Phone
once the device restarts u will now get stock 2.1 SE rom
DO NOT INSTALL ANYTHING RIGHT NOW
reboot device to verify that u can still access recovery
once u have verified that recovery is intact now reboot phone into android OS
now u need to change the SI number in /system/build.prop... keep ur original/true SI number at hand... i suggest that u use RootExplorer to do this modification... u can check this thread on where exactly u need to make the changes... once changes are done save the file and exit RootExplorer...
using Root Explorer navigate to '/system/' then "mount r/w" and long press on 'build.prop' file and select 'Permissions'... make sure the permissions are as follows:
{
"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"
}
sometimes RootExplorer creates backup file /system/build.prop.bak remove that file
once that is done reboot the device and check if everything is working
now uninstall RootExplorer
[ STEP 4 ] FINALLY!!! Doing the MAGIC!!!
Well now we came to the LAST step
once u have made changes to build.prop now just reboot into recovery
flash master_uninstaller_2.1only_v8.zip
it will take some time as there are many files to be deleted ~360 files
once its done just reboot phone and viola!!! u should have a clean & unrooted stock SE 2.1 ROM
u can check that the su binary is no longer present in /system/bin/ and u can no longer access recovery!!!
[ STEP 5 ] Clean-up
remove/uninstall all user installed apps (if any) especially those who require root
Turn off/uncheck installing unknown apps from: Settings -> Applications -> Unknown Sources
Turn off/uncheck USB Debugging from: Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging
{ADDITIONAL INFORMATION}
How to create compatible nandroid/recovery backups
Rooted the OS using SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse which also installs busybox... it installs the busybox symlinks to /system/xbin/ and doesnt disturb /system/bin/toolbox symlinks...
Installed Recovery using FlashTool v0.2.9.1
Finally booted into recovery and took backup
Still to workout..
i dont know exactly how to remove the rageagainstthecage & psneuter exploit
if someone can help me with that we can truly CLEAN the complete rom
[ REROOT ]
Since the rooting exploit is not yet removed u can use z4root app to root phone again
Busybox Installer from market to install busybox links
xRecovery installer to install recovery
BUT IF U DO THIS THE UNINSTALLER SCRIPT WILL NOT WORK. THEN U WILL NEED TO RESTORE THE ABOVE PROVIDED BACKUP VIA RECOVERY
phew... this was about 6 pages in MSWORD
Great work, let's hope it gets something!
Coooooool man,what you're doing will absolutely saves many people's x10~
Great Doom,
It'll be very usefull for everyone with Broken or not USB.

dude this is NOT UR FORUM OR MY FORUM...
this is XDA...
also regarding creating seperate device sub-forums i have contacted the forum mods...
i dont know if u are aware of this or no but Sony Ericsson has released around 6-7 Android handsets this year... which essentially are based on the same Qualcomm MSM8255 (7x30) chipset... i have even checked the open source contribution by Sony ericsson and all the devices share the SAME kernel sources...
ok as u must have realized that since all these devices are VERY similar (internally) it doesnt make much sense to creat seperate device sub-forums for each device...
instead here is wht i suggest:
currently there are two device sub-forums:
xperia arc: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=962
xperia play: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1090
i personally feel is that all the Xperia 2011 devices can be clubbed under a single sub forum (say "Xperia 2011 Devices") and then make sub-sub forums for each device... OR just keep the 5 basic sub-sections (Dev/General/themes/Q&A/Accessories) and then everyone should tag the threads properly with device ID... e.g.: say if u want to start a Arc related thread then just start the thread title with [ARC]...
cause if u see most of the things are common for Arc/Play/Neo/Mini/Mini Pro/Ray

[ Troubleshooting ]
if u are completely new to flashtool OR have never used it before PLEASE READ THIS: [FLASHTOOL GUIDE] HOW TO for n00bies
sometimes when flashing SEUS/PCC might interfere with flashtool which will lead to flashtool not able to recognize X10... if u have this problem then exit ALL OTHER running apps like SEUS/PCC antivirus/etc... only then Flashtool will work correctly...
many users have reported that it is best to first install latest SEUS and then use flashtool... this will help Windows get the latest drivers for X10 from SEUS...
you rock fella!!
So here is the rooted stock rom, but could i perhaps remove some apps, add some basic data and install apps, then re-package it as one ftf, so i also have the "basics" already done (junk removed, signed into goo/wifi etc) ?? i only ask because it seems maybe possible in theory to me ???!!

This is not a rom/firmware, that's why one of the requirements of using this is to have the stock 2.3.3 firmware.
In fact, this is the 'advanced' stock kernel which includes root access and xRecovery access.

P.S.: recovery is currently NOT integrated

Are you asking if it booted successfully after flashing? Yes it did.
But, in the Kernel Version it still says : "[email protected] #1". Wouldn't it be different if you recompiled it?

thats good enough...
the kernel is from stock kernel.sin, as no kernel sources are available at the moment i cannot do a fresh clean compile...
anyways i am updating the 1st post with the info that the kernel is tested on a device and it works

Please go ahead
Waiting for Sony to release the sources so that we can lay our hands on our very own DoomKernel

i wont be working on custom kernels for Xperia P, Sola & U as i dont have those devices and in anycase i dont have time to work on them...
honestly i would have LOVED to, but due to lack of time i will be barely able to support the existing devices i have (ARC, PLAY, S)... so i dont want to take up additional responsibilities when i know that i wont have time to work on those devices as of now...

Ouch! That's a bummer
I was really looking forward to powering up my phone with a sexy Kernel...
Goodluck nevertheless, have fun in IIMA
Tapatalked from Xperia U
it works. the phone is rooted now, but keep in mind to do a backup of your sms/whatsapp/app, before flash this kernel.
I hear sometimes, a strange "tic tic" from the speaker, never heard before flashing doomkernel.
I will keep testing this
Thank you man!

I had the same problem even when I was on the stock Kernel. Very rarely though. So I'm pretty sure that there is nothing wrong with the Kernel posted by DoomLord.
DoomKernel perhaps?
it's was disappointing...DooMKernel is very good kernel...
doesnt work for me
type all in, but said that i need root access
edit: ok...i got it

I understand, but you shouldn't worry, there are many devs interested in this phone.
I being one of them will be quick to create custom kernel once I get my device (month or 2) and I will be working in the FreeXperia team to bring CM9 to this device
Although, I wouldn't say I am as good as DooMLoRD, I'm sure you will enjoy the work of me and other developers
