totally ****er bull****.
The 1 u posted is X10 mini. I din c before i run it. Now my hp cant boot up anymore.

What do you mean HP?
the title says X10? Why would you try it on a HP?

Geeks, please help us
Same prob
Now we know for sure, that xRecovery is dangerous if we don't know how to handle it

i havent met any problem entering the xrecovery menu even when i first installed it even though i was a complete noob on android (now i am just noob)
only thing i was doing is that i never pressed the back button only 3 times, i always keep pressing it until i get the xrecovery menu

Yes, keep pressing the back button until you enter the XRecovery menu.
If it still fails then I would revert my phone to the STOCK SE ROM (basically means repairing your phone using Sony Ericsson's PC Companion or Update Service utility), and then use FlashTool to root the device and install Busy Box and XRecovery.
FlashTool is basically an all in one solution and is less painful to use for beginners. Just do a search for it in the XDA forums.
Hope this helps.

[Q] Xperia X10: Almost dead

While trying to fix my message problem (stuck in sending) on my Custom ROM TW 007 on Xperia X10, I have managed to completely screw my phone. Now, I have the following issues
1. Wifi doesnt work.
2. SD Card wont mount
3. SEUS wont connect.
4. Busybox wont install. (problem with Core Utilities)
5. xRecovery wont install.
and obviously Messaging wont work.
I would greatly appreciate if experts can help me out here since I have been stuck for couple of days now with it. Otherwise I be buying another phone soon and sadly I may have to switch from Android to another platform

I would suggest you to try and ask in the Xperia 10 forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=745
You could search first for someone who had the same issue.

[Q] Help phone bricked after CM7 rom install..

Here's what happened-
I downloaded a new ROM for my x10 mini pro and i did a factory restore via CWM then i selected install zip for SD card and selected MINICM7 2.1.6 after that the installation began. I did not flash my phone. after that i got a message. Kernel nAa something like that not found and it proceeded with installation.
Then when my phone restarted It got stuck at the SE logo. I cannot get into CWM menu. or do a reset(Power + home). Then Connected my phone to my PC over the USB. it showed a unmounted drive and told me to mount it via the phone. But, I cannot do so as I can do absolutely nothing with the phone. I pulled off the battery and then connected it while pressing the back key a greed light lit up. And my phone said -"Connected to Sony ericsson phone" (without showing the model). Soon the green light disappeared by itself and my PC connection broke too. I tried several times but the same thing happened. I tired looking for SEUS for x10 mini pro- But. the SE site told me that the software wasn't available for my phone . PLZ I really need your experience and help. PLZ help. I greatly appreciate it.

I am a new user and can't post links but Google what alexyaz said to help guide you through, search something like hot to access abd to install ROM. also if you need your original software Google search the model of your phone with stock ROM.
Once you fix it due try to read all directions a few times when implementing a new ROM to make sure you don't get any unneeded errors

[Q] Help for Xperia Tipo Doesnt Boot anymore

Hello since i decided to help a friend, everything got bad and I don't know why :/
Before this Tipo I rooted/unlocked Boot-loader and changed the ROM of Wildfire S, Nexus One (cyanogen ones).
Today I started to Make this "Tipo" for a friend and that's why is so important for me the phone to work its not mine ( I usually don't make my life so complicated to make someone's phone, why i did it this time).
So It was with official ROM Unrooted and with Locked Boot-loader and I checked it if its possible to
Unlock the boot-loader It was saying Yes.
I Unlocked the Boot-loader following the instructions with "Unlock SE xperia Boot-loaders 1.6" with no problem,
I know because the phone was Reset after the finish.
After that i was able to Root the phone and I had SU privileges already in the phone and
I started to put CWM.
I first Trued with RecoverX I did everything instaling Sony Pc Companion, usb debugging ,unknown sources, busy box installed(SU privilegies) and RecoverX writed me that its installed successfully.
I try to start CWM after the reboot it was not working, I try about 10 times more, it was not working so I searched another way and i found this -
For Tipo and tipo dual users-cwm_tipo_v6.zip for cwm.For TWRP-TWRP_tipo.zip
1 Unzip It using winrar or 7zip.
2 Connect you phone in usb debugging mode to pc
3 Windows users double click on install.bat.
4 Linux users use terminal to run install.sh.
It worked from the first time!
After that I put this ROM and Gapps on the SD Card
[MIRO/TIPO/J][ROM][4.1.2] Jelly Bean Mini Project Release 5
And I Went into Recovery and I Did this
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Patriotion
Advance Wipe Dalvic Cache
Install from SD Card and i find the zip archive of the ROM and the Gapps (from the ROM's directory)
I installed first the ROM after that Gapps (from Install from SD)
After that I went to Reboot System Now
(I usually don't make backup I didn't do it this time too but anyway it wont help I think in this case)
I waited the new ROM to load 10-15 Mins and I saw nothing is happening so I google the ROM and
I reeded that the ROM has sometimes that loop which is just loading for hours and nothing is happening (first boot)
So i took the battery off and I trued to go into Recovery, Sadly the recovery is gone ;(
I trued around 20 times to enter recovery with no success
And now I don't know if I'm able to do something ;( No Recovery No ROM The ROM is already above 1 hour loading
Please somebody to help me with something, or at least to tell me its no point there is nothing I can do
and to look how to buy a new phone for my friend

Try SEUS...!

it does not charge no led blinking and even got no recovery installed and PC also does not detect the phone
so if anyone got the same problem
HERE'S THE SOLUTION:
so at first u need to download flash tool and then download ur mobile official firmware any firmware u like.
NOTE: DOWNLOad the .ftf FORMAT FILE
after that copy that to the flashtool/firmwares folder
and then run the flashtool.
click on the shock type icon in flash tool it will give 2 modes select the first mode and click OK.
it will make u select the firmware and click on the firmware and leave the rest as it is and click ok
