Wiped everything and now I'm stuck at sony ericsson boot screen

[Guest ikerolas]

Hey.

So, I started with 2.1 branded by Telcel, baseband .46, x10a. I think the firmware was 2.0.A.0.504 (not sure)

I wanted to get this Gingerbread ROM by TripNRaVeR

http://android.modaco.com/content/sony-eri...ngerbread-fast/

So I followed instructions. Backed everything up using Titaniumbackup.

Got the flashtool (V 0.2.9.1) and proceeded to get the .67 BB. Flashing went fine, but upon reboot my phone was in an endless starting loop. So I changed to .61, and to .65, .52, .54, and then i went back to .46... kept looping. In a desperate move, I just guessed and used BB .55. It worked. My phone started ok, I rooted it, asked root permits, cleaned it, optimized it, installed xrecovery and all cool.

So I went on and rebooted and launched xrecovery. Followed the instructions in the post I mentioned:

Reboot your phone and boot into XRecovery.

Full Wipe.

Partition Tools => Format /system

Partition Tools => Format /data

Partition Tools => Format cache

Advanced Options => Wipe Delvik Cache

Advanced Options => Wipe Battery Stats

Then I realized I didn't have the ROM's .zip on my phone, since I thought it was flashed ito it to, like the .ftf s from the BBs

So I chose reboot, and now I'm in the sony ericsson boot screen, can't access xrecovery.

I CAN flash, at least flashtool says everything went ok. I only have the option of flashing though, no rooting or anything else. I retried flashing every BB, I tried flashing some stock 2.1 for 10a... but everything to no avail.

SEUS recognizes the phone, but says it has the latest software.

I would really appreciate your help

Congratulation!

Hi,

You can download Flashtool from XDA (I'm sorry trip) + a stock rom. Flash it, root it with the same Flashtool, put xRecovery on your phone with Flashtool and youre ready to flash zips again!

If you have the Sony software on your PC open it up to the update section. Turn you phone right off and then while holding in the back button plug the micro usb into the phone and it should give you a small hyperlink that says Repair. Clicking it should put the phone back to factory settings and you can then re-root it from there.

Come on man, read the whole OP.

'SEUS recognizes the phone, but says it has the latest software.'

Get it? He tried it but it didnt work. He just has to found a stock .ftf rom to flash with flashtool and it's done.

Had this yesterday and SE software would not repair, I assume due to BB67. Looked around and found. BB & latest stock Rom. Flashed w. Flashtool and started again. Hope this helps.

Download the Original firmware form XDA.

Put it into "firmwares' folder like u did for flashing BB.

Flash it.

Now you are on stock again.

Use superoneclick[or any other] to root your phone.install busybox.

then install Xrecovery 0.3 [ not 1.0 ] ....

dont forget to put .zip in your SD this time...LOL

Very easy go to xrecovery and partion tools than mount ur sd card and connect ur phone and copy the zip file to ur sd than reboot and again to xrecovery and flash the rom. Sorry for my bad english.

Ok guys I tried many other stock 2.1's and eventually one worked. Now I was able to change the BB to .61 and I'm running TripNMiUI Iris 1.5.5 Froyo with no apparent problems. Will try the TripNMiUI 0.3.0 Iris Gingerbread I originally wanted.

Thanks for the help, really!

btw even if you are in the sony update tool and you get the message "your phone has already latest software", there should be an option in exactly this window where you can choose to install anyways ....

[Guest Cifer]

Nope, that was in the older versions of SEUS. It is now checking some system files against each other to see if they match other system files. If not it wont give you the option to install again.
