Thanks, and loving the new theme. Keep it up as well.

Phone continually restarts

---

After following this guide to the letter, my phone now continually restarts itself. Gets to the Sony Ericsson startup screen and then reboots. Have searched the forum for suggestions/solutions but have found nothing. Cannot reflash, unroot or restore as the device is not recognising the device. Any help appreciated.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

I am not sure why this is happening.

Was your phone rooted?

And did you have mass storage on?

I recommend posting in the Q n A section and your phone may be bricked.

It was a warning and what theme were you installing?

mine just gets stuck in sony ericsson screen and thats it, nothing happens after press 3 then continue and thats it, phone restart but wont boot, same thing happened with just the black bar mod, and the file i downloaded hasnt 9 options. it brick everytime

it is rooted and rwsr

so my phone is rooted and i did steps 1 and 2 but when i come to there, the first thing it says is that mount failed and then looks up a couple of files and says read only and then says press any key to do a fresh install... and even when i do tht it says the theme is installed and ready to use but nothing happens. Also a couple of the images are not displaying, donno if its just my comp or everyone else.

Any ideas?

I get the same as this.
And constantly a message saying adb is not a recognized command, mount errors, and when trying to install it says read only files
Only thing that happens is the keyboard installer works, everything else is missing.
Been trying for ages, using rooted X10 with 2.1

Read the additional steps.

It is not possible to install a theme without doing the first steps.

When you do step 1...

And it shows Rwxr and not rwsr you need to scroll down and do the additional steps first. I have even mentioned it.

Edit:

If by step 2 you mean the rwsr...

Then you need to have your handset when you type in SU so you can give super user permission.
