[Q] phone does not boot - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I am on Wolfs TW Gingerbread. I went in xrec and formated system + cache and clicked on fix permissions. Then I have restarted the phone and it stucks on the Sony Ericsson logo. I can't even enter xrec.
But the real problem is that my usb doesn't work and i cannot connect the X10 to my laptop. Is there a way to fix it somehow without connecting to a computer?

You have formatted system???!!! That an anwer why you stucked on SE logo
Now you have to download ROM again, place its zip on sdcard and flash it again. You dont need usb cable.

How to install it? I can't enter xrecovery

You have to get your usb port fixed, I don't think you can enter anything since you've formatted your system.

Follow these steps because you cannot connect your phone to the computer:
1. Get your memory card in a card reader.
2. Connect it to PC and copy the rom file in the memory card.
3. You cannot enter recovery because maybe you formatted your memory card too, find a tutorial on how to install x-recovery manually on youtube and install it in the memory card using the card reader.
4. Place the card back in your phone and press the back key as soon as you see the SE logo. You should now be able to install the rom via zip in x-recovery .
I hope this detailed info would helps you.

I am almost surethat this wouldnt help him. X-recovery (and other recoveries) are placed on system partition (you can see that manual installation of xrec was to place some files and chmod in system root FS), so he formated recovery also.
As told before,now you need to fix usb port first. Because only solution is flashmode flash with Flashtool. No other way dude, sorry..

Well, atleast this will help you get back to stock again. Even with a broken usb port.

[Q] Unable to access my SD card and some boot looping problems

hi guys ... im not sure what exactly is the problem so i will give as much detail as possible :
i just flashed to Cyanogen Mod 7.0.0 RC4 with radio 7.05. the problem started when after i want to upgrade to 7.0.2 of CM7. i tried going into recovery as per usual but instead of the terminal showing up normally, it appeared for a split second before dissappearing and shows me the triangle with ! sign ( when the terminal dissappeared , my windows popped up some unable to install qualcom drivers ... i don't know what drivers they are .. but i think its USB )
i tried to reboot by taking out the battery and putting back in, only to be stuck in a boot loop.
I am able to get out of the bootloop by connecting the usb cable and either going recovery ( where it wont even show the triangle with ! sign , it will just power on normally , loading CM7 ) or going to "clear storage" and choose "no" while usb is connected , it will reboot and start loading CM7 as per normal.
so after it loads CM7 RC4 normally ... i tried going into my sdcard to re-place the 7.0.2 zip ROM but i cant even connect to my sdcard via USB ... in settings it showed "Unavaliable" and there is an erase option but when i tried to use it ... it only shows "SD card removed"
i know this is a rather complex problem but i would be greatly thankful if you can help me out. Thank you guys so much!
To summarise :
Bootlooping unless connected via USB and going into recovery / choosing no when asked whether to clear storage
Unable to access my SD card when successfully booted up
if it helps* ( i think i wiped ONLY the dalvic cache ( no cache/factory format ) before the recovery terminal dissappeared ) , treat this info as volatile ... i can't remeber if this statement is true or not.
Sound slike sd card failure...WHY?
If your using an ext partition some apps or cache are there,therefore failure of sd can make a bootloop..
Plus not booting into recovery properly could mean it cant use the update.zip to boot recovery..
Try another sdCARD see if that works,ive killed 2 cards and had similar problems
... and remember.. No questions in Dev. section...

Xperia mini pro little problem

Hello all. I've got a problem. My phone is Xperia Mini Pro. I did everything in this tutorial to install custom rom. First I downgraded my firmware, then rooted, installed CWM, unlocked bootloader and at last installed kernel from this rom, but forgot to move the rom on SD card. Now when i launch my phone I can see FreeXperia logo, but it stucks on Sony Erricson logo. I can enter Clockwork, fastboot etc. What should I do?
turn off your phone
take out the memory card and copy the zip using a card reader or some other phone.
then power on> go to CWM and flash the ROM.
Is not needed.
Connect USB cable to your phone and computer, enter the recovery, then go to mounts and storage and mount USB storage.
Your SDcard will be available in your computer as removable disk and you can place the .zip file to the sdcard. I do that all the time

I agree with DSA "flash a stock rom with odin" @Racinghart91, Can you get in to download mode?
if the stock boot doesnt work!...(am hoping it does) .., .. try using the resurrection rom and flashing it via odin... Good LUck!

[Q] Connect mass storage via CWM recovery

I've recently flashed my phone with Nemesis kernel using Flashtool, and installed "MoonBreaker 3.5". Unfortunately it is horribly, horribly broken so I have tried to do a full wipe and reinstall. This also failed to work, and somehow wiped my internal storage, so now I have no kernels or roms available on this phone.
The phone boots, but the market doesn't work, downloads app doesn't work, there is no file explorer and no network connection. The phone will not mount as usb storage when booted, or when in CWM recovery. When booted it gives me an "MTP USB Device - Failed" message after attempting to install drivers (win7 and winxp). When in CWM it does nothing at all.
Therefore my question is, how on earth do I get files onto my phone now?

What model of phone do you have? I had the same problem with the Sola (I insanely forgot copy .zip on sdcard before flashing bootloader) and i solved copying the archive on external SD then with CWM selecting Install zip from external sd. Of course this method is not valid if you have Xperia U. In this case or in another case where you haven't any external SD slot try reading this guide.
I have an Xperia P, sorry the forum denied my edit for some reason. Thanks for your ideas!
I've had some success booting into fastboot then, while it's connected, switching to flash mode. Stock kernel reinstalled! Thanks for your help!!

Formated All With Cwm Recovery, Now I Can't Upload Cyan .zip

I formated everything with ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.2.9, format /sdcard, etc. But this also formated my external SD, deleting the CyanogenMod .zip inside.
I try "mount USB storage" and Windows shows nothing. What can I do?
ODIN
try to get into download mode and flash the rom with ODIN
or get the sd card out of the phone and stick it on a other phone.
good luck
PS: if you don't know how to get into downlaod mode on the samsung galaxy s2:
VOL Down + Home Button + Power Button
and wait

Never used ODIN, I used Heimdall to flash the ClockworkMod Recovery.
I just want to insert "cm-10.1.3-i9100.zip" in my phone in some way, but how? I don't have a 2nd phone at the moment.
do you own a Mac, Heimdall is almost the same just do this:
Step 1:
Run Heimdall
Step 2:
go to utilities tab
and click on detect device or the detect button and the you should see some message that is connected
Step 3:
Create the pit file by clicken save as on the downlaod pit file
Step 4:
got to Flash tab (because "Load package" tab doesn't work without firmware.xml and some roms doesn't have that)
choose the pit file you just downloaded
Step 5:
unzip the rom you downloaded in your case cyanogenmod
Step 6:
click add (still on the flash tab)
Step 7:
where it says partition name add each file that was in the zip there.

Most newer PCs come with a memory card reader built in.
If you use a removable micro SD card, it should have come with an adapter that turns it into a full sized SD card. You can put this combo into the card reader, re download the ROM then copy to the card and flash as normal 'in phone'......

I build my PC myself, no SD reader.
So, there is no way I can just copy the zip in my phone with a USB cable?
What about the "adb sideload"? I tested and don't show my device, maybe I installed it wrong?
Can I copy things to the phone in download (odin) mode?
no but you can flash new roms en kernel :l
Somebody on here posted that you can mount SD card (or something) from within cwm and copy the ROM direct from your PC to your phone that way....(it's been a while since that post so I can't remember exactly which storage volume was mentioned)

Good to see you Keith! Hope everything is well mate :good:
Yes, from CWM, go mounts & storage > mount usb storage. From there, you can plug your phone into PC and transfer whatever you want to the SD card.
Using ADB push is also a really nice way of doing it, good job OP. Please add [Solved] to the title of your post.
