Hey guys,
The good news i wanna notice for everybody here is my X10 Mini Pro with lastest firmware 2.1.1.A.0.6 can Root + xRecovery + JIT and use Link2SD okay without any errors !
I will tutorial you to do that. Now lets begin !
Root : Automate Installation
1. Download attached file "SuperOneClick".
2. Enable "USB Debug".
3. Connect phone to "PC" and select "Charge Phone".
4. Open "SuperOneClick" and select "Root".
5. Wait!
6. When it is done, reboot.
xRecovery : Manual Installation
- Phone must be rooted
- Download and install Titanium Backup. Run it and press Problems to install busybox or you can install standalone busybox in market !
- Download attached file and unpack the recovery package in to sdcard
- Use Root Explorer to remount /system rw
- Copy the content of the package (3 files) into /system/bin folder
- Chmod 777 for 3 files copied !
How to use xRecovery :
- Reboot your phone !
- Press BACK button few times right after white SE logo appears.
- Use VOLUME-UP and VOLUME-DOWN to browse, HOME to select, BACK to go back.
JIT : Here is manual installation. Automatic Installer here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951274
I'm strongly recommend to backup with xRecovery before install JIT !
- Download attached file !
- Go to market place and find app "Terminal Emulator" download and install it.
- Extract and copy to sdcard
- Use root explorer to remount /system rw
- Copy dalvikvm,dexopt,logcat in sdcard to /system/bin/
- CHMOD 755 for 3 files copied!
- Copy libdvm.so,libnativehelper.so,libcutils.so,libdl.so,liblog.so,libm.so,libz.so in sdcard to /system/lib/
- CHMOD 644 for 7 files copied!
- Copy build.prop in sdcard to /system/ (You can use your build.prob file. Please see Warning section below)
- Chmod 666 for build.prop !
- Go to /data/dalvik-cache/ and remove all file in it or use command rm -r /data/dalvik-cache/* or we can use xRecovery and choose Advanced Options > Wipe dalvik cached
- Reboot your phone and enjoy !
- To check it work or not run Terminal Emulator and type dalvikvm -k if you see "Configured with: debugger profiler jit show_exception=1. It's mean JIT has been working !
Warning : if your phone cannot reboot again please use xRecovery to restore backup file (if not backup yet you can use SEUS to reflash your device) and JIT again with your build.prop file.
Follow these instructions:
- At the step copy build.prob above please use your build.prob instead my file provided and edit your file :
- Edit /system/build.prob with Root Explorer

Do you wipe all dalvik caches ?? and the first boot after install it's take about 5 minutes to rebuild all cache files. After that it's working perfectly. Try to reboot few times and plug off your battery first !
no need to use the modified superoneclick.
the original version 1.6.5 just fine in this firmware

help with xrecovery
hello guys,
just bought myself x10 mini pro and loving it so far. I have successfully rooted and have busy box and su permissions.
next, I followed the following steps for xrecovery but it does not seem to work for me.
Code:
xRecovery : Manual Installation
- Phone must be rooted
- Download and install Titanium Backup. Run it and press Problems to install busybox or you can install standalone busybox in market !
- Download attached file and unpack the recovery package in to sdcard
- Use Root Explorer to remount /system rw
- Copy the content of the package (3 files) into /system/bin folder
- Chmod 777 for 3 files copied !
How to use xRecovery :
- Reboot your phone !
- Press BACK button few times right after white SE logo appears.
- Use VOLUME-UP and VOLUME-DOWN to browse, HOME to select, BACK to go back.
I have copied the 3 files using root explorer and mounting it rw and the permission set to 777. I have also checked the files/permission using adb shell.
I have then turn the phone off, turn it back on and press back < button on the sony ericsson logo but no matter how many times i press or hold the back button it does not take me into recovery menu.
Edit:
my bad, i did not copy over busybox and chargemon because the files were already there from rooting process.
anyone who has this trouble, make sure you copy all the three files to system/bin folder and set the permissions and it should be good.
Hey plz tell me in detail how do i install custom rom (most stable with excellent performance) in my lg p500!!!
plz answer in detail including how do i wipe sd card and all
THnx in advandee
Have you rooted your phone?
Well I'll assume that you have an P500 with v2.2.2, Stock Rom Untouched.
Firstly you would want to root the phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Download Gingerbreak
- Make sure USB debugging is enabled(Can be enabled through settings)
- Make sure you have an SD card (formatted and) inserted
- Place the app onto the root of your SD card
- Open the APK, press the root button
- Wait a few minutes. If there are no problems, the device will reboot (note that the reboot itself can take like 10 minutes due to cache wipe)
Congratulations the phone is rooted.

After rooting your phone, you must have 1) Recovery Installer
2) Terminal Emulator (Free from market)
3) The Custom Rom
I recommend FranciscoFranco's Rom as it contains excellent tweaks without hassle of flashing many files which may cause your phone to brick.
Recovery Installer, You can get it from: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11987571/quick/recovery_installer.rar
when you have everything, lets start
1. extract contents of "recovey_installer.rar" to the root(meaning the base) of your SDcard.(it contains 3 files, so you should also see 3 new files on your SD card).
2. open terminal emulator, enter these lines(press enter after each line):
Code:
su
sh /sdcard/rf.sh
just wait and this should reboot you directly to recovery.
3. now in recovery(remember: "vol + and - button" is "up and down" "menu button is ok/select" and "back button" is back)
Congratulations, Your Recovery Installer is installed.
Now, You can get FranciscoFranco's Rom which is called Devoid from
here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049518
Download franco.devoid and the kernel.
Go to recovery boot
1.Select Wipe and Wipe everything and that includes data+factory settings, cache, system, .android-secure and sd-ext partition (if you had it already)
2. Select ext partition and choose either ext2/3/4 : 512mb,swap:0
3.Toggle usb connection and place devoid.franco and the kernel zip files onto your sd card.
4.Select flash and flash devoid.franco first then flash the kernel.You do not need to toggle signature verify as it should have signatured. If you are a ***** then carry on and toggle signature verify.
5.Reboot.
Enjoy

There's an option where it says "wipe" when you are in your recovery boot you should enter that category and wipe what the developer says.
Also there should be a guide of how to flash cm7 onto your phone in the thread itself
There shouldn't be any problem .
Do you mean you do not know how to enter recovery boot menu?
If so, open your terminal emulator and type
su
reboot recovery
It will reboot your phone to recovery boot.
Then wipe what the developer asks you to wipe,
make the partition on your sd card wether its ext2/3/4
Then flash it.

Hi everyone.
I'm really sick of this phone (X10 mini pro). right now no matter what i try and flash to it using xrecovery and update.zip, i reboot and always find that i'm running the same old system - like as if i've done NOTHING TO IT AT ALL!
I tried flashing this (which is what i really wanted):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041099
Nothing, reboots into stock.
I then tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059361
Also no luck.
What am i doing wrong!? I download the rom, extract (System, META-INF and/or any other folder) and then i install any hotfixes by dragging and dropping/replacing files.
I then zip up the system and meta folders (plus anything else ie: Data folder) to update.zip, then install via xrecovery -- which does so fine, no warning messages -- then i CLEAR cache or format data (if instructed) and reboot.
As far as i can tell, i'm doing NOTHING wrong and it's extremely frustrating. Everytime i reboot i'm greeted with the same old setup wizard, same old theme, same stock "About Phone" details, as listed below:
Model Number:
U20i
Firmware Version:
2.1-update1
Baseband Version:
M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Kernal Version:
2.6.29
[email protected] #1
Build Number:
2.1.1.A.0.6
What is going on???
Have you tried not renaming the zip file and flash it as it is, then flash the hotfixes next?
Maybe what you added or replaced caused the flashing to not work at all. For me when I flash a big rom it'll take about a minute. If it was flashed and you don't even see it copying files then it must have failed.
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
Choose custom zip, navigate to the zip file location in your sd card and confirm flashing it. Must work. I bet you flashed the "update.zip" which doesn't exist.

Thanks for the quick reply guys.
Unfortunately i've tried both these methods and i still get the same problem. (I just tried both methods again to be sure) Xrecovery just states "Copying files..." then within about a minute or so, it tells me it's "Completed"
Just for the record, i did buy this phone used (and "unlocked" to any network) would that somehow have something to do with this?
I've also tried a factory reset using the PC companion from Sony (then installing a rom) even after that i still get this problem.
Frustrating, very frustrating.
Ok, so i did this all over again:
Step 1.
Reset phone using PC Companion
Step 2
Setup Wifi using the wizard
Step 3
enable usb debugging and Unknown Sources (both under Applications)
Step 4
Connect phone via usb, transfer over Xrecovery, update.zip, etc. Then UNMOUNT SDCARD.
Root phone using S1C, install busybox during then reboot.
Step 5:
Setup marketplace account & Download (provided i get past that rediculous "downloading.." hang bug):
Busybox Installer, once downloaded, double click icon and install
Download and install Root Explorer
Step 6:
install Xrecovery manually using Root Explorer, placing it's 3 files in \system\bin
step 7:
Connect usb, transfer over update.zip, reboot and enter xrecovery
Now, guess what? XRECOVERY won't even start when i hit the back button when the SE logo appears!
One problem after another, about to give up. Really not impressed.
Do the following at your own risk
> Before you start make sure you have
- Root access
- Busy box and terminal emulator (you can get this from the market) installed
1. Download this script http://www.mediafire.com/?yw2a3r2didpb51t
2. Extract the folder called AAIS and rename it to "aais" (without the quotations)
3. Copy the aais folder to sdcard
4. Open up terminal emulator and type in the following commands
Code:
su
Click on allow when superuser dialog pops up and then type
Code:
cd sdcard/aais
Code:
sh install.sh
A list will appear, type the number which installs xrecovery and press enter
Once the phone has rebooted
1. Copy the zip of the rom which you want to install straight to the sd card (Do not rename it, extract it or do anything to it)
2. Copy the zip of the hotfixes straight to the sd card (again do not rename, extract or do anything)
3. Reboot phone, when it reaches "Sony Ericsson" press back a few times to boot into xrecovery
4. Using xrecovery do this
- Wipe cache partition
- Advanced option > wipe dalvik cache and wipe battery stats
- Go back to xrecovery main menu and then click on factory reset (full wipe)
4. Then goto install custom zip > choose custom zip from sdcard > and then choose the rom zip. Let it install
5. Once rom is installed click on choose custom zip from sdcard > and then choose the hotfix zip.
6. Once installed go back to xrecovery main menu and reboot phone
Hopefully should work

Thanks for this post, exactly what i needed. Tis much appreciated.
I did what you said, word for word, and everything went smoothly. Xrecovery booted up fine and installed everything fine.
Unfortunately, this has failed to resolve the problem. I'm totally clueless as i'm sure most of you are. All i can say is it's not user error - i've not done anything wrong or missed a THING. I've really followed as you instructed word for word (as i did with previous attempts) and i still got nowhere. I've now spent all day trying to resolve this and still with no luck.
The only difference all of this ever seems to make is i'm constantly bothered by popups saying "X application has failed" etc etc now. It still just boots into the regular OS like as if nothing has happend.
Download this file, do not extract it, copy it straight to your sd card:

Go into xrecovery then
Wipe cache partition
Wipe dalvick cache
Wipe battery stats
Factory reset (full wipe)
Goto install custom zip from sd card and flash the first file
then flash the second file. Reboot phone. Hope it works.

I have a Motorola Moto E(XT1022). I bought it recently and just when I first started it, I got the 4.4.4 kitkat update and so I downloaded it right away. Then I realised one of the biggest problems of Moto E i.e. 2.2 gb storage. So i dug into find how to install apps on sd card and got to know that you have to root the phone. On xda, I found various ways to root but they were only for the 4.4.2 version of the phone and others were update to 4.4.4 on aldready rooted devices. Please tell me the way to root my device. Also as I am new to this, I dont understand any words like bootloader, fast recovery, etc. Please help me. Thank you in advance.
Edit: Can I use the way given by deej_roamer in his post here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2755336
Edit: I am sorry to have posted this in the general section. I don't know how to move it now to the questions section. Sorry again.
Thank You DAVI FELICANO and deej_roamer for their help. I have now successfully rooted my phone. If someone else has a problem, go to Page 2 for the solution.
You can use the defalt method, dont need to change anything.
Who told you that you need root to move apps to sd card?
Once you insert sd card you will get an option in settings/apps to move apps to sd card for those that can be moved.
This is though limited to Apks only and data is still kept in internal sd card.
If this option is not enough for you then you can go the advanced wag by rooting and using gl2sd or link2sd like apps.

You mean I can just follow the way to root if my device would have been running 4.4.2 kitkat (and as suggested by deej_roamer in his post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755336 )
Thank you.

Who told you that you need root to move apps to sd card?
Once you insert sd card you will get an option in settings/apps to move apps to sd card for those that can be moved.
This is though limited to Apks only and data is still kept in internal sd card.
If this option is not enough for you then you can go the advanced wag by rooting and using gl2sd or link2sd like apps.

I know friend. I was talking about games like asphalt 8 and dead trigger which have data of size 1.5 gb because of which I wanted to root my phone. Thank you for the advice.

You can install only one game due to it's low internal memory. By one game I mean high graphics game. The obb file remains in the internal storage even after moving to SD card. I tried many things like making SD card default storage using SDK tools but to no Vail. Guess the only way now is to root it & use apps like gl2sd

I followed the thread by deej_roamer here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755336
Try out my steps:
[Your phone battery must be at least 75%]
1. First download "Fastboot" from the thread. (Click on the "mfastboot-v2" link in the thread)
2. Next install it in a folder and remember that folder. Also, make sure you select the option of "Create shortcut on Desktop" during installation.
3. Next download CWM recovery from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/root-moto-e-rooting-flashing-recovery-t2802971 (Click on the "CWM 6.0.4.9 recovery For MOTO E" link in the thread)
4. Copy the "cwm6.0.4.9_recover.img" file to the installation folder of fastboot.
5. Next download SuperSU v2.02 from here - http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip (Click on "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip" link)
6. Don't Extract Supersu zip file.
7. Connect phone to pc. Copy the zip file to your internal memory(the directory of int. memory is /sdcard) (The directory for ext. sd card is /storage/sdcard1).
8. Remove your phone from your pc.
9. Switch off your device.
10. Turn on your device by holding power off button and volume down button together for 6-7 seconds. Quickly connect your phone to your pc.
11. The bootloader must be showing usb connected.
12. Run fastboot from your desktop.
13. Now type this (without quotes) - "fastboot flash recovery cwm6.0.4.9_recovery.img"
14. Look at the screen of device. It must be showing "Mismatched partition size (recovery)". It is normal don't worry.
15. Press volume down once (recovery will be selected) and then volume up so that it goes into recovery.
16. It will show the bootloader unlocked warning. Don't worry about it.
17. Your phone should now be in CWM recovery.
18. Don't do anything except what I tell you.
19. In this menu movement is done by the volume rockers ans selection by power button.
20. Press volume down so that "install zip" is selected.
21. Press power button.
22. Select "choose zip from /sdcard". Press power button.
23. Find the SuperSU.zip file(It will probably be in the "0/" folder)
24. It will ask to confirm install. Select Yes.
25. SuperSU will be installed.
26. Select CWM reboot. When you select CWM reboot, it will display "root access possibly lost - Fix?". PLEASE Select "No".
27. Your phone will now reboot. (The bootloader unlocked warning will be shown and then the boot animation).
28. Open your menu(in the phone) and find SuperSu app (a # symbol will be there in its icon).
29. Disconnect your device from the pc.
CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE A ROOTED MOTO E.
If you ever wish to flash any other recovery (like twrp),
1. Copy the file to the fastboot installation folder in your pc.
2. Then reboot your device into bootloader and quickly connect it to your pc.
3. Run fastboot from your desktop and then type the following without quotes: "fastboot flash recovery cwm6.0.4.9_recovery.img"
4. Instead of writing "cwm6.0.4.9_recovery.img" write the complete file name including extension. For eg. if file name is "twrp_recovery_2" and has extension ".img" then write "fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery_2.img"
I hope that this solved your problem brother.

I have a Motorola Moto E(XT1022). I bought it recently and just when I first started it, I got the 4.4.4 kitkat update and so I downloaded it right away. Then I realised one of the biggest problems of Moto E i.e. 2.2 gb storage. So i dug into find how to install apps on sd card and got to know that you have to root the phone. On xda, I found various ways to root but they were only for the 4.4.2 version of the phone and others were update to 4.4.4 on aldready rooted devices. Please tell me the way to root my device. Also as I am new to this, I dont understand any words like bootloader, fast recovery, etc. Please help me. Thank you in advance.
Edit: Can I use the way given by deej_roamer in his post here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2755336
Edit: I am sorry to have posted this in the general section. I don't know how to move it now to the questions section. Sorry again.

Is your recovery.img placed in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot"?
It need to placed in it or you'll get an error.
Boot loader is LOCKED !! cannot be unlocked !! so no root for me ?
