What firmware are you running? Some branded firmware like AT&T, have blocked it.

download it from your browser native phone
I have the same issue that it doesn't download.
I think it needs PlayNow, which I 'backed up' and uninstalled using Titanium backup.
I Have the same problem.. If any one could upload the Apk it would be great!
For those who still need that apk file, here it is:

yup doesnt work for me as well
try do dll from the link posted, i down load it and when i try to install it says installing, them the app was not installed,, any ideas,, should it be cause of the rooting
He attached B&R app for x10 mini.. Almost all users don't have 2.1 so they can't use the B&R app.. get used to it. You can always use the xRecovery for B&R also.
well, and that then to use for X10I ?

If xRecovery was easy to install I'd agree, two weeks, and I still haven't gotten it to even install correctly
Rodragon, how familiar are you with adb, and manually installing apps via usb debugging?
that app didnt work i need it too
Hi, i've installed xrecovery on my x8 1.6 rooted. Is it possible to have a backup of clean 2.1 rooted firmware to restore with xrecovery for the newbies?
Thanks
You mean someone posting their files so you could use xRecovery to
use the restore fuction to "restore" to a rooted 2.1 android?
Actually thats a clever approach to be honest!
I m not sure what files you need and if it can be done though.
N.
The effort invested in both methods is same anyways i will post the method
1.Get the back-up image(Make sure it is inside /sdcard/xrecovery/backup)
2.go to xrecovery->backup and restore->advanced restore->/(new rom)->restore only system
3.Flash all .sins except for system.sin of the correct rom(you will need to do this since every rom brings some kernel updates,the system wont run on incompatible kernel)(use the x10 flasher by bin4ry)

Yes. I think it's possible, and can help me and the other people for a rooted and cleaned 2.1, without the sony ericsson programs.
=) thanks
I think it's necessary all backup folder for a complete restore.

If you jump from 1.6 to 2.1 you have to flash .sins ,if you jump from 2.1 -> to latest 2.1 its not necessary but better if you do it
Hello All,
Me being a noob, I wanted to know what happen when I update a rooted phone. Am I going to keep all the programs and settings that I have? or everything is going to get erased and its going to be like I got a new phone and need to reinstall all the programs and settings? Or that everything is going to be kept, but will not work until the new update can be rooted, and when it is re-rooted, everything is going to be back to normal? I was thinking about the effectiveness of using the titanium backup if I'm going to update the phone and that the program needs root permission to work. Thanks for the help!
make a backup?
re-root.
What should i use to.make backup?? Titanium backup? But i thought that program needs root to work
use default program to backup, ''backup and restore''
oh no... i uninstalled that..... anyways I can get it back?
2.1 System Apps/Framwork | 2.0.2.A.0.24 | - In Case You've Deleted Them...
I'm kind of a super noob to this phone ( and the smart phone technology).... so can you please elaborate on your previous reply? Thanks =]
if you have a rooted phone already just install Xrecovery by Z, search for it. that way you can just reboot when you see sony ericsson white letters, hit back button 11 times it will give you a bootscreen where you can do a backup. After you backup then you can update to a newer version if you choose too. once you update to a newer version, you then go back to xrecovery choose backup restore then advanced restore then select just the data folder it should restore all your apps etc..

Thanks for this! I just backup my phone using this method! I did a backup using Titanium but this one is an extra precaution. Thanks!
thank you sir! Will try it this weekend!
I just installed xRecovery Installer... and when I go into the xrecovery installer icon, and press install xrecovery, my phone asked for root rights, and after I give permission nothing happened... Is there going to be a new icon for xrecovery or its just a program that runs in the background and will not add an extra icon? Thanks!

When I update to a new version, my Xrecovery wont work until I root that new version too right? So the procedure should be update -> root -> then restore? I dont need to reinstall xrecovery or something right?? Thanks

Yes, you need to re-install x-recovery as well.

Will re-installing xrecovery after the update have any effect on the backup I did prior to the update? Wont the update delete my previous xrecovery and hence my backups? Sorry to bombard with questions, but I just need to make sure that I know what I'm doing. Thanks!

No, it will not have an affect on your backup because that is stored in the Sdcard. So you should be good.
Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it!
I am trying to learn how to use the backup and restore fuction of the x-recovery. Here are my questions
1. Can I have multiple backups? Or is the backup only used for my primary rom?
2. Where is this backup stored on the phone?
3. Does it go back to default settings if I switch between several roms?
Thanks,
PhyzX!
you can have as many backups as you like... just make sure you remember when as it names them by date and time.
It stores them on your sd card, it creates a folder called xrecovery, and within that a folder called backup. There you will find all of your backups.
In response to your last question, it will go back to EXACTLY what it was like when you made the xrec backup. It is an exact mirror image of what your phone is like at that time, settings, apps, everything..
...But the backups are kinda heavy, so just make sure that if you're gonna have multiple backups you have enough space in your SD card.
Xrecovery is magic, it restores your entire phone, data, settinge, contacts, all user info. as it was when you did the back up. Lets say you flash your phone with a stock SE ROM and then reinstall xrecovery, then you do a recovery of the backup you created, your phone will be restored to exactly how ot was before the flash. Im sorry of I am being confusing.

What happens in these situation:
1. If u do the backup on 2.1 and flash to 2.2 and recover the backup?
2. If u are on diff baseband version like 2.0.0.A.0.24 then updating to 2.1.A.0.435, will it work too?
thanks
No problem, it will work
How do you delete the backups that x-recovery make?, Cause i've made 3 trying to root my phone, and get onto the new Baseband/FW Versions, so if there heavy, I'd rather get rid of them and keep my latest one?
Can i delete them through xRecovery? or?
Hey,
Use file explorer that u have(Astro etc.) to delete unwanted backup file.

nooooo don't listen to them! If the roms have different basebands and don't support other basebands, you can't just change back and forth, you will have to use flashtool to flash the baseband back ( for example if you were using freex10 beta 4 with baseband .54, and gingerbread with .46).
Xrecovery CANNOT change a baseband, only the rom itself. Some roms require certain basebands in order to work as well.

Agreed.
1. Backup would be recovered but only compatible apps will work.
2. You update baseband using flash tool. xRecovery can't flash the baseband. Also for e.g. if you flash 2.2 firmware on 2.1.54 then its being reported that ppl can't switch back to 2.1 stock firmware

Hi all,
This is my first post and my first thread, so please don't flame at me.
Well I want to run FreeX10 BETA 4 and the Android Generic FW 2.1 at the same time. I have had a look around, and it seems like that it is possible but I'm having trouble.
If anyone wants to help me, please PM me for my MSN, or post below.
Thanks.

Hello -
Did you figure out how to do this?
Thanks.
What you would do is make a backup of both roms in xrecovery, and then you would just restore whichever backup you wanted to use at that time!
So can I say -
1) Root my current 2.1 Eclair
2) Install XRecovery
3) Backup current 2.1 via XRecovery
4) Install Custom ROM 2.2
5) Backup 2.2 via XRecovery
Now you have two backups and you can switch between 2.1 and 2.2 via XRecovery Restore option. Is this correct?
Thanks.

Yes.
Thank you!
Yes, you can switch between them.. But it's not really dual boot.. Wouldn't it be a bit time consuming to do the reinstall of the fw each time you want to switch?

If if and only if 5 minutes is time consuming. Cause that's seriously about how long it takes to switch.
And also to the OP. Remember that you want both of them set up exactly how you want them and don't change it because unless you make a new backup, what you add or change in between wont stay when you restore.

Guys I need some help hopefully you can clear some questions I got.
If I do a a full system wipe with xrecovery, dalvik cache and battery stats.
Is it going to delete a previously saved backup?
cause Im trying to install froyo on my x10 and already got a full system backup of my 2.1 using xrecovery but im not sure if I got the correct steps to do it.
What Im trying to do basically is get 2 backups to switch between em when needed.
when you do a backup its storred in sdcard under /sdcard/xrecovery(recovery)/backup/<date based name>
also wiping all stat and /data /cache will clear all your ROM related data from your phone.
So basically wich steps would be the correct ones to follow in order to get 2 backups so I can switch between when needed,without bricking my phone?
you won't brick your phone
i don't know why you bother, its gonna take 5 min for each changeover, and assuming you'll make no progress in between each change, but then, no you don't need to wipe anything. Sigh, here are the steps: Just back up and then install, then back up that one, and then restore which ever you need. Also, just to make sure, your backups are located under sdcard/xrecovery/backup . So you don't screw up the md5 check, if your gonna rename it, don't put any spaces.
