[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freak174:
Hello.

First of all, to make ppl less irritated of this thread as there are several threads about this problem. Ive searched, looked, noticed that ppl has this similiar problem, but I still cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.

However, to the point.

Ill let you know, step by step what I have done, to make it a bit simple for you to help me.

Ive downloaded a couple of files, named Freex10-beta.zip, gapps_1901_Freex10-zip, xRecovery and Busybox.

All of these files (exclude Busybox which I installed from the market) were copied into the sd memory card, the root of the sd card.

I rooted my phone with the software, superoneclick.

I installed xRecovery and busybox (busybox says that my phone is rooted), then I opened xRecovery and clicked install, without any problems, the three locations got green. Means succesfull?

Now to the problem, I turned of my phone, switched it on and clicked the back buttom. Got stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo. Stinks!

Please, I really want to upgrade my phone. Cant stand out that ppl has the 2.2 while im still on 2.1 official :(

Version: 2.1-update1

Kernel version: 2.6.29

Edit.

Stuffs Ive tried out:

- Removing the battery for a couple of seconds

- Tapped the back buttom once, twice, three times and so on. Doesnt work for me.

EDIT ONCE AGAIN (READ):

Due to the new update for the X10HD I was able to run the xRecovery. There was nothing wrong with the setup I made however if any1 has the same problem as I do. Please enter this thread and go to the buttom of the first post and you will find an apk. file named xRecovery-0.2-X10HD-release.apk ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859571 ).

Follow this howto if you got problem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=908791

AND! Thousend thanks for the support members, love to you all!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
you must click the back button several times to access xRecovery.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freak174:
Thanks for the reply, but I have already tried that. Ive tried to push it one time, two, three and even held it as long as I can. Nothing works.

I am going to give it a last shot from the beginning, going to unroot the phone and do everything from step one.

However, got any other clues why I am occuring this problem?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
remove the battery, wait for few minutes, insert it again and tap it several times. it worked for me.

hi! i have the same problem though i cant access xrecovery menu now that i am on free x10.. what i did before flashing to freex10 is exactly what you are doing but with additional.. try this, it worked for me ;)

download gscript lite from the market.. then do what you did earlier, installing busybox, pressing install xrecovery then, after installing xrecovery menu.. do this.. :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895351

hope i helped you in a way.. :] i always do that for me to access recovery menu, though i cant make that now because at beta3 it is not allowed to reinstall busybox and xrecovery (if i did ill get FC loop)..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freak174:
Thanks, Ive installed Gscript lite but I cant seem to find any damn files when I press load. Maybe my version is to new for Gscript lite?

It shouldnt have to be this hard to do something like this! Wasted hours and hours trying to find solutions, but hell no nothing is working god damnit :/

Edit. When I press List SD-card all the files inside the SD shows up in a blue screen
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
for automatic xRecovery you must have : superuser, busybox, root permissions..

so if you don't have that, automatic xRecovery doesn't work.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freak174:
I have these three files installed, Ive managed to install the xRecovery but not been able to enter it when I boot my phone.

Do you think it has to do with my version of the x10, I have 2.0.2.A something maybe it doesnt work with my version?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
you have 2.1?

it doesn't matter.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freak174:
Well then I find it strange as hell! Why me of all the ppl around here, I cant be that noobie?

Busybox says that my phone is rooted, I am able to install xRecovery, I get all the three things marked as green, which means succesfully installed, I have superuser, or else I wouldnt be able to install them.

What am I doing wrong, has any1 out there been through this problem and solved it?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
I did the same thing as you.. I rebooted. when the white SE logo show up.. I tapped the back button several times and xRecovery showed up..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
try THIS tool and check HERE how to use it.

side note: if still got problems flash again (you can use the tool)

side note: you can use any other button to enter on xRecovery yet do not use home button `cause if you enter on it will reboot
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freak174:
Thanks for the reply.

I went into the link, but as Ive understood, you are not able to install the custom rom for 2.2 froyo. Only switch between 1.6 and 2.1.

And also some other more stuffs, however, can you confirm that it is possible to install the custom 2.2 froyo rom with the flash tool?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
No man. The idea is for you to get xrecovery to work.

Use that tool for that.

The other idea i left is: if you still cant get that to work flash again and follow the rest of the guide.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freak174:
Ah I see well I will it a shot but First I must ask something that I find abit weird.

When I install busybox, u are able to choose 2 directories where you want it installed. Either in "system/bin" (works fine) and "/data/local/tmp" (does not work).

Or nevermind seems to be working now, strange.. before it says that I need nand unlocked?

However, my point is that I am trying to use a app called gScript, but when I load "xRecovery.sh" it says:

stderr: mkdir failed for /data/local/tmp/

xrecovery, File exists

stderr: mount: Device or resource busy

stderr: rm: failed for -rf, Read-only file system

stderr: cp: cant stat 'sdcard/gscript/

chargemon': No such file or directory

stderr: cp: cant stat '/sdcard/gscript/

busybox': so such file or directory

However, I will now try to flash my phone and install xrecovery through it. But Id appreciate some help with my gScript 2

Edit 2:

Ive installed flash tool, it connects to my phone without problem.

I went into custom/apps/ and found a folder called xrecovery, which was empty so I dragged my xrecovery.apk file there, clicked customize ( Customize installs apps found in the custom/apps folder of the flashtool).

But I cannot read anything about xRecovery in the log:

28/014/2011 16:14:36 - INFO - Searching Adb Device

28/014/2011 16:14:36 - INFO - Device connected

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
please see THIS GUIDE for that
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freak174:
I am sorry, I went into that guide but didnt go far down on the thread. I managed to install busybox AND xRecovery with the flashtool, just went into advanced xD

I also noticed that you are the publiser of the guild, well done I must say!

Now I will reboot my phone and press the back key and we will see.

Edit:

Well I still cannot enter xRecovery. This stinks! I cant be doing anything wrong, my phone was bought the 14 january, maybe there has been some kind of upgrade with it? But I dont really think so..

Arent there any other software that are able to upgrade to the 2.2 froyo beta 3?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
man...sorry, but if you had your phone rooted, installed busybox & xRecovery, then...it`s your problem. Not rom, not phone, not nothing except you and the way you press back button. period.

like i said before other buttons work aswell. try it. maybe you have a back button problem?

just press more or less 8/10 times without any hurrys

ohh and by the way. thanks;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freak174:
I have tried several buttoms, tried everything believe me. Been spending hours to fix this.

Is xrecovery the only program I can use to upgrade into a newer version?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
yap...only way
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freak174:
I will give it one last shot later today. Will unrot my phone, factory reset on the phone and make it all from the beginning. Will also root with the flashtool software, seems simple. If it doesnt work I guess Ill work with the 2.1 and boost it up

May the luck be with me, thanks for taking your time dude
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zdzihu:
One of the forum members found out that new X10 (called X10 HD, pre-installed with Android 2.1) has different partition layout. This causes some problems with xRecovery, including "stuck at SE label".

We are testing the fix now and will release it shortly :)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwynejunior:
if you dont.mind losing data then this could be advice. first you go to pc companion and go to the update menu. you will have to hold the back key and insert the usb for the phone to be recognised (do this multiple times as the phone will disconnect). it will ask for phone model so just proceed manually. then it wull ask you to disconnwct the phone and reconnect it by holding the back key and inserting the usb. if done correctly it will begin update and restore the phone to its factory settings.

note; is holding the back key and inserting the usb to phone ebtering recovery??
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freak174:
Omg I cant believe it, the problem wasnt layin on Me! I cant wait for the update, wasted more than ten hours. You xda members are awesome :-D thanks for giving Me hope, 2.2 is a must u know ;-)

Ps. What is the estimated time, possible to say?

And how Do I know if i tog that version of x10?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freak174:
I fint mind losin data at all, i will give it a shot when I am at home.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freak174:
The only menu I found in the PC Companion that has anything with upgrade to do is the "Support Zone". And I can't find what you are telling me to do.

Look, first I started PC Companion, clicked on Support Zone, and inserted the USB, meanwhile holding back key (should be phone be off at this moment?).

Edit:

Is there any1 that has a ftf. file for any older version than the one I have?

I think if Ill downgrade my phone by flashing an older version, I may be available to use the xRecovery, or what do you think?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwynejunior:
u go to support zone, software update and follow the method from earlier to begin updating.

( the phone can be off, as long as you hold the back key and insert the usb the light will turn green and pc companion will recognise the phone. continue updating normally but you will have to repeat unpluging and plugging while holding the back key as it strangely disconnects.

IGNORE THIS REPLY, MISTAKE
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwynejunior:
im super sorry. i forgot to tell you that when you are in support zone, (make sure phone is not connected yet) then click on software update and you will get a pop up saying 'could not find phone'. under that message is note and under that says repair phone in blue, click on that and connect your phone. hold the back key and insert the usb, the light on the top right of your phone should go green meaning the phone has been recognised. keep on using this method to plug in the phone as u will have to unplug it and plug it back in again for the phone to be re-recognised (if thats a word...) and proceed with the update.

Thanks for the reply dude, but you know what happened?

Was about to follow your pretty guide (which was great by the way), I made a repair of my phone, but ur link to xrecovery was broken so I went into the original publisher of xrecovery's thread and found out that he had published a new version of xRecovery, for the ppl that has the new layout for X10.

Gave it a shot, and you know what? I was able to enter xRecovery in less that 5 seconds. If you guys just knew how happy I got! Now Im back home, got the phone fully charged and making a backup of the phone!

Soon I will have the new 2.2 version!

If you enter this page, and go to the buttom of the first post you will find an apk file named "xRecovery-0.2-X10HD-release.apk".

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859571

PS. Ive currently installed the 2.2! Thanks xda members, time to flash dualtouch :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHurf:
You're welcome. I heard about the new version of xRecovery. Are you able to access xRecovery now you're running 2.2? That's the big question as for those of us with newer handsets, it makes it easier to install the hotfixes when they come out if we don't have to keep reflashing the phone and starting again!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freak174:
I have no problems at all to enter the xRecovery, no problems at all!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHurf:
But can you enter it again and again and again? Even after installing 2.2?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHurf:
I reflashed my phone last night and installed the HD xRecovery. Did the reboot and pressed back and yes, it allows me into the recovery console. I installed EVERYTHING; beta3, hotfix, gApps and a custom theme on the off-chance I wasn't able to access xRecovery again...

...Good job I did; although I was able install and access xRecovery without farting about with GScript, I haven't yet been able to get back into it!

And before some smart-alec jumps on here with "just keep pressing back" I have done that. Repeatedly. Either I'm missing something out or another little niggle has been missed by the devs

Should I install xRecovery AGAIN, now I'm running a custom ROM?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
I don`t know if you already solve your problem but...(simply don`t have the patience right now to read 3 pages LOL)

Reading your 1st post you said that you`re on 2.2 zdhizu rom...right?!

you CAN´T install busybox

That`s why you can*t enter on xRecovery...you didn`t search/read as you should ;)

now...another problem...

For now you CAN`T install custom roms IF you have 435 SE rom pre-installed...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bern4d1:
soeey, but I can't find the xRecovery-0.2-X10HD-release.apk. what I saw is xrecovery-0.3-release. where's the file? thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bern4d1:
sorry, it's working now with xrecovery-0.3-release. now I have to collect my courageous to upgrade to 2.2. thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHurf:
Hey man, I don't have the .435 firmware. I have the .504.

As for xRecovery, I was simply wondering if it were possible to get back into xRecovery once you were using the 2.2 ROM. Despite your snide comments I DID research as I should - how the hell are you supposed to load in hotfixes when the recovery doesn't work once you're in 2.2?

People ask these questions with civility and expect a civil answer, not all of us have the time to fart about with our phones as endlessly as some do!

What is the answer?

How do you go about installing hotfixes once 2.2 is live on the phone?

Does xRecovery 0.3 allow you to re-enter recovery once you've installed, or do we spend forever more re-flashing, re-rooting and re-installing a ROM to our phones every time a hotfix comes out?

Simple questions, no?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHurf:
Thankfully, the fabulous work by zdzihu continues with beta4, which in conjunction with the new version of xRecovery (now working with phones pre-installed with 2.1) allows access to the xRecovery console even after upgrading to beta4.

And continues to allow access.

You don't need to install a kernel because you already have one its included on all roms otherwise you wouldn't be able to use your phone. kernel is basically a leyer between hardware and your os .you can try different ones if you wanna oc or get a better battery life or wifi calling and so on .and you must make sure its compatible with your rom. also may I suggest you search for kernel in Wikipedia if you wanna get a better understanding of what is kernel and what it does.

I got a bad ESN on my d2g. Is it bad for global use?

I'm using a forgein simcard from Vodafone NL. but I can't get the mobile internet working. EDGE as wel as 3G and HSDPA doesn't work for me. I will test it with t-mobile NL this weekend. Is this because of the bad ESN or lack of UMTS radio bands?

Any suggestions?

Edit: I already tried a hard reset, sbf and custom rom. The APN is set correctly.

I called vodafone and went to the store but they couldn't help me there.

At *#*#4636#*#* -> phone information -> radio bands -> Only USA band shows up.

Tested with T-Mobile and it works. So going back to the vodafone store.
[Droid 2 Global General] CornholioGSM:
...try Hard reset, then set Network Mode to GSM\UMTS, and Select Network to Automatic.

For Better GSM signal Select Network to GSM Only. In GSM Only works only EDGE internet connection.
[Droid 2 Global General] Fritsbenik:
Already tried, but with no succes, thanks for the reply
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Have you added the required APN configuration?
[Droid 2 Global General] evilp8ntballer7:
well just so you know the ESN is only used on CDMA networks such as verizon, anything else would use the IMEI of the phone which is more of a international serial number so if the esn is bad it shouldn't matter because your network wouldn't even use the esn
[Droid 2 Global General] Fritsbenik:
I edited my TS, because I forgot to mention what I already tried
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
I have 9 options there, none of which says "USA band".

Here is the list I get:

WCDMA preferred

GSM only

WCDMA only

*GSM auto (PRL) (selected)

CDMA auto (RPL)

CDMA only

EvDo only

GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)

Unknown

Also - this is called "Set preferred network type", not "radio bands". I don't see "radio bands" anywhere under 'phone information'.

Try to flash the 2.4.29 full SBF. This should reflash radio and everything. Also - 2.4.330 has crappier radio performance when it comes to GSM/UMTS part of the phone. I would recommend you to stay with 2.4.29 if you are not using the phone on Verizon's CDMA
[Droid 2 Global General] Fritsbenik:
I mean radio bands try *#*#4636#*#* -> phone information -> menu -> radio bands ->

Already tried that SBF I didn't know there was another.

I gave up on the network because mister not so nice at the counter of the vodafone store. He basically said, We don't have it in our system so we can't help you! I switched to KPN NL and I have 3G and HSDPA without a lot of fuzz.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snow_fox:
Ok guys. I am not sure what is going on here.

I can't connect to my schools wifi and it is becoming a royal PITA.

I can connect to wifi perfectly fine at home.

At school, they don't require any sort of "password" to access the network. (no wep or anything I mean) They do have one of those annoying/retarded portal login systems which seems to be coded to only care for laptops.... Actually I should say coded for a hand full of browsers ON the laptop.

I once or twice a week or so ago was able to actually access the login page either by entering it manually and being able to actually use wifi for a few minutes.. or by getting redirected.

I took the problem up with the help desk, they said we now have alimit of 4 wireless devices and my allowance was maxed.

Unlikely but, whatever..

So now over the last few days won't redirect me, it won't let me even enter the login address manually.. (before it wasn't a sure thing but, I could at least do it.)

I am rooted running cog 3.03. (Which does have the 2.2 update) Had the same problem on stock 2.1.

Goes without saying I'm rooted and willing to do what it takes to get wifi working here.. Even if I did happen to have unlimited data.. my school is pretty Iphone heavy... especially at lunch, And some days I am just happy to receive the occassional text I can get from my girlfriend.

But, fact is I don't have unlimited data.. I have extremely limited data.

If anyone has a solution, I would appreciate it.

Tried:

Wifi fixer in market.

Rebooting.

"forgetting" then reconnecting. (a million times).

Manually assigning an IP address.

Praying to Cthulhu

Using multiple browsers to see if one works with portal better.

and I am out of idea's..

I have never needed to enter a proxy server before with any other device.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
You might ask around about it. The browser is probably set to auto detect a proxy. You don't have that on the phone.

Although, you do indicate you actually did connect for a bit a while back, so it likely isn't the proxy.
