Hey guys,
I am pretty new at the whole flashing thing so please be kind.
At the moment I am trying to get CyanogenMod 7.2 onto my X10 but Flasher wont see my phone and keeps spitting out:
INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
No matter what I do. I'm running standard Sony 2.3.3 rom atm.
Have baseband version 2.1.71
Kernel Version is "2.6.29-00054-g5f01537"
2nd line of stuff says "[email protected] #1"
I have been following the guides n everything but I'm not sure what I'm looking for to fix it.
Any help would be appreciated!
1. Test, USB debugging and Unknown sources is "On" in ROM settings?
2. Test in Windows Device manager, is your phone is visible as an SEMC HSUSB Device? (That is, whether the driver is properly installed)

Have USB Debugging and Unknown Sources turned on, and in Device Manager there is a thing thats "Sony Ericsson Sa0102 ADB Interface Driver" - is that what I should be looking for?
I am bout to Tear my hair out in frustration with this now...
Been getting nothing but this if i try and get it to stay in flashmode:
INFO - <- This level is successfully initialized
INFO - Flashtool Version 0.6.5 built on 2012-01-04 19:11:08
INFO - Device connected in flash mode
(then about 2 sec later)
INFO - Device disconnected
INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode

For installation this ROM (CyanogenMod 7.2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360889) it is not necessary to use FlashTool, installation is done by CWM at satisfaction of following requirements:
You need a stock or custom rom with Android 2.3.*
You need ClockWorkMod5 installed
Copy FW on SDcard
Reboot into ClockWorkMod, wipe data/factory reset, format /system in CWM before flashing this rom.
Flash FW`s .zip from recovery
Reboot your phone (first boot will take some time)

I'm stuck same as M2geek. I used superoneclick to get root. Installed rom manager. Went in there to install clockworkmod and there is a long list of phones. Way longer than the list when you do rom manager and cwm on a samsung device.
Not one single Sony phone in the list?
Which one should I pick? HTC? Samsung? Acer? Dell? Google? Huawei? LG? Motorola? ZTE?
Good chance trial and error could soft brick me fast....
Has anyone tried using rom manager on a sony ericsson x10? How are these kids saying "i installed clockworkmod"?
No luck installing recovery with flashtool even after I installed a ton of crap to my PC like software development kit and Java which says it disabled the android debugging bridge....
Steep learning curve and no joy. I just wanna throw it the toilet. Maybe it will bubble. Bubbles are fun.
I am gonna do what it says not to and install recovery twice with flashtool next....
In I got it to boot into blue recovery and it fails to mount SD card. Says it's busy.
Another video tutorial showed using apk manager so I went and got that off the market. His showed xrecovery on youtube, and no such item showed up in the window I had. Only apps from "my apps" list appeared in the apk tool.
I am about to throw a dart at that long list I reviewed in clockworkmod.

I started it off. I started my way at the top in order to work my way down. 1st, acer liquid gave me an error, then advent vega actually work and installed an older version of clockwork mod.
It won't do anything however when I click Reboot into Recovery it just sits there and doesn't even blink.
Commtiva Z71 actually rebooted but not into recovery. It booted normally as did Dell streak, and Dell streak 7 just now. Elocity had a cool box show up for a moment (I bet I was being prompted) then proceeded to boot normally. Might have to come back to that if all else fails....

Same thing for the galaxy tab at&t. I did not get a very clear picture of it because it doesn't last very long and I can't hold still for such a short time. It's a pretty little present box with an arrow pointing up out of it and I wonder if I should push volume down or what would put this into action.....

Geeksphone ONE booted normal. No joy. Same for geeks phone 0, klicking reboot into recovery does nothing but reboot the phone normally, same for google galaxy nexus cdma, and the next one down for GSM, install, but won't boot into recovery.
Edit:
Google Galaxy Nexus One, S, and S 4G... no joy, install but no recovery.

Trying every single 1 was driving me insane so I skipped ahead, I had to, samsung galaxy s 2 and I got a present box again. I selected to boot into recovery repeatedly and tried different button combinations on the present box. No joy. I bet I need to plug into a pc for it to light up.
I am thinking Rom Manager won't give me a clockworkmod on this Ericsson. Not one that will boot into recovery anyway.
Stuck. Holding three buttons just boots normally.

Ok, here is the straigth... Accidentally stupidly noobly i delete /system folder on my nexian cosmic journey. And now my nexian is stuck...
I try to using fastboot mode to flash recovery image, but my device seems not detected. I already installed the android composite driver, but when i use "fastboot devices" command, it shows (?)
So how the heck to get my nexian back to normal?..
Or perhaps, if i just be able to put back the /system folder to its place again, it would be more easy to recover it... But how access the root when phone is like that?
Is there any help here?

Hi Xda members, I edited the touchpad.cfg file because i wanted to remove the water protection.. so when the phone started again the screen became totally unresponsive, i wanted to make a wipe but when i go to Android recovery shows an error saying "Failed to boot 2", is there a way to wipe the phone with all this problems? also i wanted to replace the file with the old one with adb or Android commander but the phone is not recognized on the pc because is pattern locked..

Try using fastboot/adb to replace the touchpad.cfg file with a backup file, then reboot. If you're not sure how to use that try searching the forums or Google it. I really hope you have a copy of the original as that is the fastest way to replace that file and reboot. Hopefully that fixes your issue.

Hello everyone,
I encountered a problem while flashing a new rom on my new (actually 1,5 years old) Xperia U.
I rooted it and managed to instal the CWM touch recovery (using the CWM-instaler) and when i tried to flash a new rom (eXperiance V2.1)
the rom stopped installing (it has a special installer where u select apps and stuff, u probably know of it) and it didn't move on... i had no other option but to take out the battery. When i tried to turn on the phone again it just showed the sony logo, then automatically restarted, showed the logo again for a few seconds and restarted, and kept doing that until i took out the battery again...
So i tried the flashtool and i can connect the phone in flashmode (green led), but i cant connect it in fastboot mode (it connects but then suddenly disconnects as the phone restarts). I wanted to flash a new .ftf file but somehow when i put my file in the /firmware folder and turn on flashtool it is not visible in the files i could flash (just the stock x10 file is there) so im really at a loss...
Anyone got any ideas?
i did backup my previous rom but since i cant boot my phone into recovery that's not a lot of help...
I might also mention that the phone was running ics 4.0.4. and that the bootloader was locked ( i did have root tho...)
If you want any extra info just ask
Any help would be appreciated thank you
Solution: I did what dara007_168 said, which was:
1. Put the file into folder firmware(make sure the file is FTF
2.open flashtool don't do anything
3.select lightening icon and select flash mode then select the download firmware
4.wait for the pop up said
"Turn off your device....."
5.turn off your Xperia u at least 30 second
6.press the volume down key with the same time connect your phone to computer via usb (make sure to have driver install)
7.wait till it finished done
at first this didn't work for me since i had some problems with the flash tool but then i re-downloaded the older version of the flashtool and the firmware and also reinstalled the drivers.
After that it worked and i could normally flash the generic firmware.

How could you flash the kernel with a locked bootloader?
Have you installed the drivers from flashtool drivers directory, what windows version you have?

Bro u can't flash custom kernel when your bootloader is locked the only way to fix it is to flash back to stock rom via flashtool or Sony update services

Sorry for no reply for so long but i made a video and here's the screenshot of my flashtool
I am using Win 7 64x and i have installed the drivers in the flashtool driver directory.
There is a chance the phones bootloader was unlocked though... i didn't check (honestly i didn't know how)

Thanks for trying to help
(sorry i haven't got enough posts to post links)
Edit: I tried using sony update service and it gave me an error stating that the software installed on my device cant be updated... probably becouse it has a half of a custom rom flashed, or am i missing something here?
Bro I think you should flash stock firmware. I think u know how to use flashtool that easy.
1.charge battery until it full i don't know if u can charge battery or not but u should
try. I have the same problem by flash the same rom as your but mine is different it stuck on the boot animation so it can charge but u I don't know
2.download stock firmware
3.flash it

Firmware is flashed in flash mode not fastboot, see how long can you stay in flash mode, though fastboot should be on forever.
Did you unlock your bootloader?
@ dara007_168 I think the phone should be reasonably charged, since i started doing things on it with a full charge and didn't really use it much, so i don't believe that's the problem. I downloaded the firmware u said and again i have the same problem with flash tool... i put the file in the correct folder, but when its time to flash it to the phone (which is correctly connected) it just isn't there, i cant select the the file i downloaded.
@ ChikeD The flash mode stays connected for about 45sec and then it goes into boot loop and about the boot loader i actually think i managed to unlock it a few hours ago (i did the necessary steps on the sony site and got the code before i bricked the phone) and now i entered the number in the flash tool and i think it actually did unlock my boot loader... although i don't know how to check that...
Oh, and fast boot mode stays on forever i think (ill let it charge a bit in fast boot mode, since the red light beside the camera is on so i think its charging)

Yow man, thanks for helping me out like this but there is a problem when i try to do those steps.
At step 3. I select the lightning icon, and the small pop up window appears and i select flash mode, and then
the window opens called Firmware selector, but the firmware is nowhere in that window and i don't know why...
i know where it should be i checked some videos it just isn't there...
Would it help if i posted screenshots of all the steps?
ow and another thing.
would it work if i tried to use fastboot and flash a kernel from that option? or maybe even flash the firmware?
And i guess this might be a useful peace of information, i am using Flashtool Version 0.9.12.1 built on 2013-06-04 22:50:00

Hi everyone, I have a problem. I recently got a Huawei y220 and rooted it and enabled USB debugging, tweaked the SystemUI.apk and it all went good, I had no problem rebooting. I also changed my bootscren with BootScreen from the Play Store.
But today, my phone got stucked in bootloop, and i know why, I changed the /system/fonts permissions to 666, and also when I was trying to change the default font (DroidSans.tttf and DroidSansBold.ttf) copied a font file, so in that folder there was some permissions changed and an extra font. I had to to do something so i locked my phone. When I returned a couple of minutes later the phone was like off, so i removed the battery and rebooted it. It got stucked on my bootscreen, and didn't showed me my ADW launcher.
I can't install CWM as there is no file for this model (because it's very new), I can't flash anything as far as I know. Tried downloading the official "upgrade" from Huawei, copied the file, but I can't seem to enter the "Software Upgrade Mode", (VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER KEY), I press those keys for about a minute and nothing happens.
I know my phone isn't fully bricked, for now, so, how can I change those file permissions through my PC or Linux?
I can enter the bootloader screen BTW.
I also tried AromaFM, but i get a signature error.
I've already wiped/factory reset and wiped cache.
Thanks for your time!

I thought the way you update / restore the stock firmware was by the update.app method? The update should be in an archive and once you unpack it should be a folder named : dload with the update.app in it. That whole folder should go on the root of the SD card so it should read /sdcard/dload. Unless it is a different y220...
Otherwise, you're kinda screwed because unless you have adb access when it is bootlooping (rare), there won't be much to do. You won't have adb in recovery either since it is still stock.
I guess it is the normal y220. The problem is that I can't get into the Software Upgrade Mode. Also, my other choice was AromaFM but i don't know how to stop it to verify the signature verification. If i could do that, i could have root acces to the files. Or maybe could install a POSSIBLE backup that i found online...
Well, when i am in recovery the device is detected on windows, but ot mounted...
Thank you
My point was, according to the info that I found, you don't update that one via the Software Update mode, you do it via the method I was talking about with the update.app in the dload folder on the SD card.
