Xrecovery unable to enter!!

tried to use xrevcovery to install froyopro today but i cant enter xrecovery , when i see the SE i spammed back but it just hangs the phone so i remove the battery and tried again for like 5 times but nothing happened , then i try to enter my gingerdxx fearing it might got corrupted but it's still fine ...but why cant i enter xrecovery?

Really? I couldn't enter xRecovery too when I was on GDX v018, v019 and v020.
Just install another CWM ROM if you can enter CWM.

but iwas able to use xrecovery just a few days / hours ago ..and now i cant ..is there a prolbem with my xrecovery? i cant enter CWM also and ccwm (installed version ) don't have x8 option in it's list T.T ...without xrecovery i cant backup my phone anymore!! is there any alternative or solution? just wondering ...is there a diff between xrecovery and cwm?

tohno ... since you wrote in another thread that you installed ROM Manager ...
ROM MANAGER IS NOT MEANT FOR THE XPERIA X8!
This program is ONLY for genuine CyanogenMod ROMs on a selected range of devices... so... that should actually answer your question why you can't select the X8 in the list of devices.
As for being unable to enter xRecovery ...
a) GingerDX comes with Dual-Recovery by default. This means that BOTH, xRecovery and ClockworkMod recovery, are already installed. You DO NOT need to manually install any of them ... if you do, or did, you will only wreck the installed ones.
b) xRecovery does NOT work on the LinuxDX kernel, and will most likely also not work on all the other custom kernels as well as they don't have xRecovery built into the kernel but only CWM.
Conclusion: If you're on GingerDX and already messed around with the recoveries ... re-flash GingerDX and full-wipe.
If you're on Stock 2.1.1.A.0.0 or 2.1.1.C.0.0 use Flashtool to inject xRecovery into the ROM.
EDIT: Another reason why xRecovery may not work... any chance you messed with busybox?
If you updated the default busybox version that ships with GingerDX - or the original xRecovery installation - you may face problems!

confused a little...but i was able to enter recovery many times before when i was still using GDX
abou a) well i need xrecovery to install GDX in the 1st place...so it's a must for me to install xrecovery
b) i never messed with the kernel!
so i guess i have to reflash then...but how to or what is reflash?? is it means i have to do the xrecovery process all over again?

Depends on what you did ...
If you somehow messed around with the files of the recoveries in your current GingerDX (or whatever else) ROM installation you better re-flash GingerDX (or whatever ROM you're currently using) to undo the changes you may have done to the OS. This means: reboot into CWM and simply re-flash update-GingerDX-v020.zip

i cant even enter CMM!! i click reboot to CWM but then it just reboots like normal ...

help plz i really need to enter CMW and xrecovery ...

I've never used FlashTool but would that work?
Leave a thanks if I helped!

not sure...i dunno whats flash tool anyways >.< n still when i try to enter CMw or xrecoery my phone just hangs ...so i take out the battery

reflash ur firmware and root with superoneclick

whill i lose my mod if i do that?

even i havent face situation to use flashtool yet,i guess so,but since u sAid u cant enter into cwm/xrecovery anymore so flash ur phone and u can root again and install ur rom,root with superoneclick

hey guys, I got a small problem. I want to restore my data onto a new ROM without restoring system settings. Is this possible using xrecovery? Because when I restore data, even the system settings I had on my previous ROM gets restored, and I can't change the setting manually on the new ROM because it doesn't have that particular function in the new ROM.....thanx in advance

[Q] Bootloop after flashing Achotjan-Semc-Debrand-Engine-V1.0_Final_E15i

Hello xda developers,
I have searched in your whole forum but i can´t find a solution for my problem.
I´ve rooted my x8, installed xRecovery, Rootexplorer and installed a android 2.2.1 custom rom. Everything worked. Then i decided to install the Achotjan-Semc-Debrand-Engine-V1.0_Final_E15i. I did a factory reset, wipe cache, dalvick and battery stats. Then i flashed the rom.
Problem: While rebooting i got a bootloop. Even worse: i don´t get back in the xrecovery menu !!! I pushed the back button nearly 100 times but it doesen´t work.
Question: How can i get back in the xrecovery ?

Because you need nAa kernel and you need to flash the ROM in CWM recovery.

Can i fix this or is this phone forever broken ?

Did you try to repair your phone via PCC or did you use SEUS ?
I was able to fix a bootloop with PCC

[Q] x8 new ROM problem, need help

Hi guys, I'm having trouble with new ROM installation. I've been using Gingercruzt ROM since last spring with stock kernel. Bootloader is not unlocked, I've only rooted the phone. It's been working fine until I decided that I want to try something new today. I downloaded the GingerDX rom and installed it with CWM. Everything went fine and I rebooted the system. The phone didn't start, it got stuck on the SE logo. I couldn't enter CWM or xRecovery anymore. It bricked. Using SEUS I brought back the stock rom. I rooted the phone again, installed newer version of CWM from the toolkit, etc. I downloaded the zip again, installed it again - it bricked the phone the same way. Then I tried with two different roms - FroyoPro and Free Dom experience with full wipes on everything before installing - same thing, doesn't start. I was able to enter xRecovery with FroyoPro but no CWM and it get stuck at rom's loading screen.
Help please, what happened to my phone Why doesn't it load a ROM like it did yesterday?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, I cleared all the possible caches, system and other folders. I even formated my sd card, just in case...
I downloaded all the right roms for stock kernel, all three of them. As I said, I've done this before and it worked from first try.
Thanks for trying to help me!

You should not format /system, cause you are actually removing recovery+rom
& are you sure that froyopro supports stock kernel?

try to redownload the rom. flash it again after a full wipe, then reboot.
signature under repair

I cleared the system folder before flashing a new ROM just to make sure I have deleted the stock ROM.
I tried with three different new ROMs, none of them started. Strange thing... everything goes well with the install and then it just won't turn on.
Do you think it's going to be different If I try to unlock the bootloader and flash nAa's kernel? I don't really want to do that but the phone is manufactured before the 29th week so it's capable.

are you sure it doesnt turn on?,first boot may take some minutes...

Yeah, I know, I've left it for more than 15 minutes with any of the tried roms.
I think I should write down the steps I'm taking after the flash back to stock rom with SEUS.
1. Activating debugging mode and unknown applications.
2. I already have the Android SDK, adb server and drivers from before so I open SuperOneClick and root the phone. Busybox is installed and Superuser is on. Everything goes smoothly during the process.
3. Using x8toolkit I install xRecovery and CWM via Dualrecovery.
4. Reset and entering CWM. Full wipe, install from zip, installation goes without problems and says - Go on buddy, restart and start using
5. Reset, Sony Ericsson logo and that's it. Nothing more happens. With GingerDX and Free Dom experience I can't enter recovery any more. FroyoPro's starting screen shows up after the SE logo but that's all it does - it never goes any further. I can enter xRecovery but no CWM.
I tried installing roms with both xRecovery and CWM - all the same. Could it be some physical damage even though the stock rom runs perfectly well? I don't know, I'm a bit desperate as the battery lasts half a day with the stock rom.

Just to end this thread, nothing worked for me so I unlocked the bootloader, flashed nAa's kernel and got a new ROM compatible with it - it works like a charm now. Thanks for your support guys!

I have a problem mounting SD Card

So , i rooted my X8 yesterday and then installed CWM. Everything went fine (I was following tutorials made here - awesome work by the way)
then when i loaded 3 custom roms , i went to CWM made a backup , formated cache , data , system and then when i tried installing them i got the error 7. ive seen that its a common error. So after that , i couldnt load the phone and it was stuck in "Sony Ericsson" screen forever. couldnt load CWM aswell. Then i flashed the original ftf and it booted normally. rooted again and installed CWM. Next thing , i flashed 2.6.29.6-nAa-jb-03 Custom jb kernel. Everything went fine , then i formated data , cache and system. But when i tried to load the Roms it couldnt mount sd card.
So now i can neither install a rom nor restore the phone.
Can someone help me ?
(by the way , phone stays at nAa Freedom Within screen. or the CWM )

What's the point in flashing that kernel?

Okay , so i tried inserting it again and again. nothing really changed.
Gogeta to be honest , im a total newb @ these things i just started readin about custom roms rooting e.t.c
So , can you tell me why i didnt need to flash that kernel?
i mean i wanted to instal MiniCM10 and the requiremenents were these
Requirements:
Latest 2.1.1.A.0.6/2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware / Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Unlocked bootloader
Latest version of the 2.6.32 nAa JB kernel

latest not old, naa05 is the latest

Oh , so that would be the problem right?
How do i fix this? i need to flash the original tft then root again - install recovery - unlock using s1tool and then flash the latest nAa?
Thank you by the way.

you can enter recovery so you can flash the new version by wiping data cache and system, but first, is your sd card formatted? format it first to avoid those problems

- Xrecovery installed
...
when i selected the file update.zip it told me that The rom was installed and i rebooted(i thinked that i must factory reset after rebooting from the options menu) and my phone bricked(stops on SE logo when starting)
I used SEUS and fixed the problem, but i don't know what was the problem

are you on stock kernel?
1. do not update busybox if you are.
2. use cwm, not xrecov. if using xrecov use v13 and below.

your phone's bootloader is locked..
so for a locked bootloader you have to install a Stock Rom..
if you install a custom rom on your stock kernel..i.e locked bootloader your phone will get soft bricked..
go on the GDX page again. and look for the stock rom.. ! your problem should be solved.. :good::good::good::good::good::good:
Source: Did the same mistake
then realised the difference between stock and custom roms!
