[Q] recovery not working in x8 - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

x recovery not working on my x8 handset....
if i reboot my handset in the x recovery mode then it reboots but it goes hangs into the boot screen...
plz help me for solving this problem....

On some ROMs reboot into recovery doesn't work. Try turn off your phone and after that turn on and tap rapidly back button (or volume down button). It should get into recovery mode.

if pressing back button dont work......just copy the xrecovery files again to the system/bin directory

with root explorer(find apk`s in the internet)of course

Installing Flashtool via FlashTool is the safest way and it works (Tested !)

1) Flash back the original firmware (.ftf) of the x8
2) root
3) install recovery

Maybe u do wrong when u put it in bin

HELP!! Bootloop!!!!

was trying out the app "Anim Mod" installed chose animation reboot..... now stuck in a bootloop. volume and power combo dosent work please please help!!
What?you mean you can't enter software upgrade mode?
nope i cant.... tried the known key combinations cant even get it to go into recovery or s/w update mode
tried pulling out the battery sim card and micro SD and then hold volume up and plug in the usb cable?
got it sorted.... the ONLY key combo that worked to get into recovery for me was Huexx method
-------------------------------------------------
WHAT TO DO IF GOT A BOOTLOOP
1.- Remove battery *edit** I didnt remove battery, I plugged out the usb instead**
2.- Power on your phone again, and once the 4 leds start flashing, repeatedly press a physical key (g-button or volume rocker) until your phone reboots and ir access to CWM
3.- Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, then reflash the ROM again
4.- Reboot and wait

And if it doesn't work, you can connect your phone to your computer, start adb shell and type in 'reboot recovery'. Your phone will enter cwm and you can restore a backup, reflash a rom..
I use this method if I get a bootloop. (I'm developing a rom.) I think it's very helpful, because you don't must use smartflashtool.
cakebomb.
in some situation adb cannot connect the phone and you have to use the smartflash tool
Anim Mod bootloop
I have the same problem here! I got bootloop after using anim mod. I'm able to go to stock recovery. I had backup my file then did factory reset but problem still not solved. I had backup my framework-res.apk file but it's not on a flashable zip format.
i've tried using apk multi tool on trying to do and adb push but it's not working
what can I do next?
connect your phone to pc in s/w upgrade mode->pull out your battery, hold + and plug in the usb in phone..and after that, use smart flash tool to flash firmware(v20) with CWM included..and after firmware flash your phone will enter in CWM recovery, now from CWM you need to flash supersu from sd card..after flashing firmware and superuser, DO a data,cache,davlik cache wipe !..and just after this you can exit from CWM(reboot)
Here's a link to all tools that you need to repair your phone. You need to use smartflash tool, a V20 firmware with cwm( you can download it from here), and put the Superuser.zip to your sd card..and install USB driver if you haven't installed it yet
I use this method every time when my phone is stuck on bootloop or if I've flashed a ROM that doesn't have root..or other situations.. This method brings you to a rooted gingerbread with CWM(this is all what you need, because from here you can do what you want..for example flashing which ROM you like )
!!! You can use this method anytime...doesn't matter which ROM you have or if your phone is rooted or not. After using this method your phone will be fully rooted, will have CWM recovery and android 2.3 gingerbread !!!

[Q] Gingerbread 2.3.6. cannot enter to recovery menu

Hi,
I bought galaxy ace a week ago... updated via the latest gingerbread 2.3.6. (official way). After few days of testing the phone I found out that it is quite slow therefore I decided to root it... there is the problem, I cannot enter to recovery menu (home + power), even to download menu (home + vol down + power), everytime I hold the above mentioned combination I got soft reset of the phone... no menu, no nothing. I could not find anything on the web.. Could you help me how to enter to recovery menu OR how to root to CM7.2. a CWM without entering to recovery menu.
I believe the recovery menu has been blocked with new gingerbread 2.3.6.
Thank you.
I don't think so (about the blocked recovery) ..u go on trying dude ..recovery mode is a bit tougher to get in stock rom ..u should get it on the 10th attempt ( at least) I believe ..btw there are rooting guides in this forum ...check them out

does it mean that i should hold power + home for 10 soft restarts?
I think so here's a tip press the home button first ..keep it pressed and then press the power button UNTILL THE SCREEN COMES ON...recovery mode is tougher to get in stock rom(well at least for me )..in cm7 its nothing ..

I tried to soft restart 10 times no luck... even with your tip...can anyone else help me please?
only odin can help you as if you are not able to get into any kind of recovery and want cwm then odin is the only path for you .. do backup contacts,sms if you want
all other things will be lost..
and if you don't want to loose things then choose to skip rooting and love what you have now
and 2.3.6 haven't blocked recovery btw as i am using it
I cant use ODIN as I cannot access to download menu (vol down + home + power). Anyone else who can me advice?
turn your phone off!
Now without pressing the power button!
Hold the center button and plug your charger!
Still does not work, any other solution?
Try this if you have root access then install ROM toolbox from the market and try going into recovery via the app

Dude read the post properly I guess he's on stock rom and the only way of rooting gingerbread is the update.zip method ( correct me if I'm wrong ) ..so there's no way he could have root access ...

HE CANNOT ENTER RECOVERY MODE!
If you bought that way you should take it back show problem and let service take care of that!
Say that you were trying to do a factory reset when you found out that you coudn´t enter recovery mode!
I'm on stock ROM, just flashed this morning using ODIN. Even root will go then. To go into recovery press the home+power button till the phone turns on, leave the power button not the home button. You should land up in recovery. If that doesn't work then try using ADB. Go to adb with your phone normally on:
adb reboot recovery
but try flash recovery again
to enter fastboot:
adb reboot bootloader
And if You've worked with ODIN then download a new bootloader and flash it using ODIN.I think (not sure) the problem is with secondary bootloader (SBL).Put the phone into download mode using ADB:
adb reboot download
This will put your phone in download mode. Check Odin now, and if ID:COM has turned yellow, you’re good to gnce you’re satisfied, press the Start button on Odin. The flash will take couple of seconds, after which your phone will reboot automatically.
That’s it. This should fix your download and recovery mode 3-button combo issue. You can now apply any mods with the normal procedure.

You had mentioned updating to 2.3.6 in the official way? Kies or Service center? If Kies then did you get the download mode when it was updating? And No, Recovery is not blocked on 2.3.6

If even adb isn't working
I would take it in to the service center and tell them you can't access (stock)recovery

yeps it might be difficult first time,,,but never after i found it difficult,,,,
u need a working hand and usable brain....

and u are in recovery mode...
same goes for download mode
keep hold on the vol down+middle button+power and then just let go off power button as u see the start screen(rather anything coming on screen )

there is also an app in market ... quick boot or speed boot something like that...
and it DOESNT need root permission (long time no use so dont remember exactly but it should be)
u can try that
I had the same problem, but luckily I found this thread.
I can enter to recovery ONLY with adb reboot recovery command, pressing home button does nothing.

How to enter CWR without ROM manager

I want to enter CWR while switching on the phone (not with ROM manager)
Bcoz if booting fails, you can't use ROM manager to select CWR
So, if anyone has solution, plz first try on LG Optimus Black phone, then only answer me whether it works
Once again, plz read briefly and understand my question
Enter CWR to (backup or restore) without ROM manager (not mean to use alternate for ROM manager)
While switching on the phone, I want to enter CWR
I read in XDA to hold volume keys (some one said volume - and some said volume +) while holding the power button, but it didn't work
Use ADB.
adb reboot recovery
hugs! :laugh:
AFAIK, in stok ROM there are no physical key combo to enter CWM when booting, while in CM7 there is PBR (google it)
but there are some mod for it
one of them : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311775
it would b useful
On stock rom there is no key combination but on roms like zeus you can press g key repeatedly
For you, adb reboot recovery

hmm, try:
1. battery out and in, then restart. or
2. volume up + homebutton + powerbutton for 5 seconds, or
3. if you are on stock and just CWM, try to flash stock recovery: LINK, or try to flash TWRP: LINK. of course only, when you can boot into the download mode : vol down + Home + Power
4. maybe try the whole thing here: LINK (again, only when you can boot in download mode)

Fastboot cm11 kernel and then try to boot device.
It's kernel problem...
If that won't do the job, do this:
Flash stock firmware through pc companion, root it and install recovery.
Edit:sorry, my bad - I meant flash stock ftf through flashtool...
Download CM ROM again and flash it.
Make sure flashable zip contains boot.img, that's kernel.
You can drive cm rom on stock kernel, your device will stuck in loop...

cnyoen mod 11 boot loop problem
but right now as i said the loop is not allowing the phone to charge.
when little charged the loop is draining the battery and the mobile is switching off.
due to this i am unable to go into fast boot or repair through pc companion
but iam able to go into cwm recovery.
any help to recover ?
Press and hold both the volume up and power button until the phone vibrates 3 times.
Then you can flash the CM kernel
Inside the update.zip is boot.img file, flash with fastboot using the following
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then enter recovery and flash the update.zip
EDIT
If you can enter recovery just flash the update.zip
If you have unlocked the boot it should work
i held the power and volume up button and waited for 3 vibrations.
then tried to flash by pressing vol u p button and then the usb cable into te mobile.
but there is no blue light i only see the red light and after some time the cynogen mod boot loop appears.
pls help .

That's not recovery, that's flashmode.
Reboot the phone and repeatedly press the volume up button as its booting to get in recovery
Then flash the update.zip
r u there .. can u suggest anything...
Yes, follow my instructions
Enter recovery and flash the update.zip
Do you know how to get into recovery? I have told you in my last post. You seem to have recovery mixed up with flashmode.
You need recovery.
once i reboot the phone and while pressing the vol up button should i connect to pc ?

No, recovery is on the phone, it has nothing to do with the computer.
Please follow the instructions as I have given them
powered the phone and kept on pressing the vol up .. the red light initially there vanished and the screen is blank. i dint see any activity after i powered on the phone except for the red liht flashed 2 times and the light vanished.
OK, leave the phone on charge for a few hours .
Then try again.
If you cannot enter recovery you need to fastboot the kernel from the update.zip and the enter recovery after that.
If all else fails, just flash a stock FTF using flashtool
how do i know if my phone is charging , becoz yesterday i charged my phone whole night .
but in the morning i still see that it does not get till the boo screen.
is this a hardware problem?

What are you talking about??
He can't use fastboot because he unlocked bootloader!?
That's the exact thing you can do when you unlock bootloader...You can flash custom kernel.
If he use kernel image with recovery he has everything..
