I was reading these threads and couldn't find an easy installer for xrecovery on the X10i Mini (E10i).
I looked at zoz33 installer for the X10 and changed the files to suit the E10i.
So now you can just install this app and run it and it will install xRecovery
Requirements:
1. Phone MUST be Rooted.
2. Busybox installed (Easiest way is to install "Titanium Backup" & click on the "Problems?" button.)
If you are having problems installing: Open Root explorer (Free version here) and set /system to R/W then run the installer again!
NOTE: this has only been tested on my X10i MINI (E10i) and I don't think it will work on other models (Different CHARGEMON versions?!?!).
Please comment so I know if this works or not! Thanks.
Just tried it on my X10min E10i, it installed the installer then got a force close when I ran the program & clicked install..
Ran flashtool & clicked root this morning as well, it said root should be available..

Muspelheim for remouny job?
Hi there!
Thx for this nice work (I hope - haven't tested it yet)!!!
In case /system needs r/w remount - can muspelheim be used?
Since I don't have Root Explorer (no visa card) - I'd prefer this option..
Thx in advance!
Keep it up
Housefly
EDIT: Muspelheim will not remount /system as r/w - see known issue on the muspelheim homepage (sorry, but i'm not allowed to link yet)
However - I found this little app from beansoft - which appears to do the trick - for free - twitter(dot)com(slash)beansoft
Hope this is helpful..
I'm off to try getting Xrecovery working on the x10 mini..
Thx

I tried searching for it, but nothing comes up I am still new to this loading different software etc..
but also on flashtool from bin4ry it has an option to install busybox, I did that & it said its installed.. But after doing the root, xrecovery & busybox the phone still looks & acts & has same features as normal, no extra icons etc...
Dont think my root worked properly. Trying it again now.. sorry

xRecovery is a Hidden program - you access it by restarting the phone and AS SOON as the text "Sony Ericsson" appears - keep pushing the "<-" Back button. if it starts loading your boot animation then you either missed the time to push back or installation failed.
If you are not too sure on how to access or use xrecovery then please read a bit of info before you use it as it can stop your phone booting if used wrong!
Cool thanks for the help.
I ran exploid root now. got titanium backup & installed busy box
then when i ran xrecovery installer, it had a message pop up saying xrecovery installer has superuser permissions.
turned off phone, turned on again & pushed back button.. & nothing happened.
Will keep trying..
thanks

You have to push it more than once, right after the "Sony Ericsson" appears.
Keep pushing it (1 or 2 times a second)
THANKS...
Got it working.
Thanks again
I didn't get this apk-version to work. - I think it's due to the superoneclick rooter. - I get the cp: not found -error.
However I got the 0.1 beta to work using the older (and free) Root Explorer - attached somewhere in this forum - can't remember where - so happy searching if you need it

cp: not found is because you don't have busybox installed (cp is the copy command).
Glad to know that you sorted something out anyway!
I got a rooted phone, whit busybox installed like u said, taping the promblem box etc .. and the system folder set to R/W whit rootexplorer, I installed the xrecovery to my phone and when I start there the 3 boxes doesn t are checked in green, and the xrecovery doesn t installed, I looked in the system/bin folders on my phone and there are copied the 3 files: busybox, xrecovery.tar and the chargemon, Any idea what is going wrong ? (sorry 4 my bad english)
The .apk did not work for me. I followed the commands from the program screen manually in root explorer, and finally got xRecovery working. The problem was the last file, xrecovery.tar, It hasn't been copied by the script. I have busybox installed, X 10 mini 2.0.A.0.504, App2SD. Thank you

I don't write, hold the file, select "copy", navigate to destination folder, select "paste". Also, there is a folder "sdcard" in the main directory, this is the SD card.
Hey there
First, thanks alot for working on an apk for the xRecovery program
My problem, i cant get it to work.
1. I Rooted with SuperOneClick - worked.
2. Had Titanium Backup, so just downloaded BusyBox by using "Problems - worked
3. Installed the xRecovery.apk from Astro File Manager, program installed, had no errors.
4. Rebooted the phone, spammed the back button (3-5 clicks/second) - and i dont get the xRecovery option. Did a few times, still not getting it.
5. Tried so click the xRecovery program in the apps list, installed it again, this time it asked for Root rights, i approved - and the program shows in the "Superuser" program.
6. Tried rebooting again, tapping the back button like insane, still wont give me access?
Any ideas?

If the 3 files are in your /system/bin folder, then it worked.
You need to keep pressing the back "<-" button as soon as you see the "Sony Ericsson" logo (Push it 1 or 2 times a second).
If your bootscreen comes up then something is wrong.
If the 3 files are not there then you don't have R/W privelages for your /system folder or any sub-directorys.

If your phone is rooted then navigate to /system/bin and at the top right there is a "Mount R/W" button, press it and it will set the folder to R/W.
If you are not rooted then you won't be able to open the folder.

It's my first post and the system tells me to post here!
So i have x10 mini pro update to android 2.1 with SEUS, i rooted with superoneclick, now i want to install Xrecovery...i have the three files:
Xrecovery.tar
chargemon
busybox
I know that i have to copy them to system bin and then reboot, correct?
My questions...
1) I have AndExplorer and I can't change dir attributes..do i need root explorer in order to do this or there's a way also on andExplorer?
2)I have titaniun back up installed and so busybox but it's in the folder \system\xbin not \system\bin, so i have to copy the three files in bin or xbin??
Thanks a lot!!
titanium backup will work. it is xRecovery that will not work with another busybox. check the threads at the x10 mini section. if you can not access xrecovery, try getting the chargemon from the other thread, or if you know how, change event1 to event0 (which i dont know how).
I'm not on a Pro (just a mini) but I have found there are a few Windows apps and scripts to simply install busybox, root, Jit, Xrecovery etc on the mini and pro (single click operation) there is even an .apk for the mini to install Xrecovery..
If you search the threads you will find them.. shouldn't be any reason anyone has trouble with these simple mods.. with all the DEV work gone into making scripts and apps, even my girlfriend could manage it (if she had any interest in modding her Mini)
if you still want to do it the hard way (I guess thats the best way to learn).. Busy box is an important thing to get right, if you have installed it... look in your app drawer and find your installed "busybox" then open the app and click on Install (I don't know why you install it then have to 'install' it within the program but you do) or is it just me?
the 3 files should be in System\bin but you also need to change the permissions before you reboot.... more forum searching required if you want to find out how to do that without Root Explorer... the search feature is your friend and the best way to learn.. good luck.
hope that helps..

i had some of your problems too
1) Titanium use its own version of busybox. You can use an app called 'root checker' to see if busybox is installed properly
I had to install it, heres's link

Hey guys,
The easiest way to install root and xrecovery is to download the newest version of flashtool. The newest versions have xrecovery and root for all version of xperia family (x10, x10mini, x10minipro, x8). They should not have any problems rooting or installing xrecovery. I would reinstall the laster fw via SEUS before using it tho.
Cheers,

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".

- 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 !

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.
hi guys,
new to all this and have rooted my x10 mini mainly in order to remove excess apps that came with the phone (and i'm sure i'll start using root access for other things too!)
having a bit of a problem though...
what i've done so far:
updated from OEM 1.6 to 2.1 via sony webste
used SuperOneClick to gain root access
added SuperUser
added titanium backup and used that to download busybox
installed terminal emulator
in terminal emulator i enter su - and this gives me access fine.
however when i type in busybox it says not found. i've rebooted after every app installation etc.
i gathered (probably incorrectly) that this may be because busybox isn't in a path or something, so i would need to navigate to the busybox folder first? however i cant find anything called busybox on my SD card!!
help please!!
cheers, Adam
well i still cand find busybox, BUT.....
didn't realise I can browse root with ES File Explorer that I already had - gunna delete apps now
cheers!!
<edit>
scrap that, says i'm not allowed lol.

It's not just a one-time press. On my X10, I have to spam it for about 15-30 seconds before it happens. As soon as the Sony Ericsson logo starts, hit that back button and don't stop hitting it until XRecovery starts. As I said, depending on the rom and phone, should take between 5-30 seconds.
maybe you didn`t install xre in your device successfully.
check whether these following three files are in the system\bin
busybox chargemon and xrecovery.tar
if they are in there ,than maybe that`s the way that you hit the back button is wrong.Not pressing it all the time,but hit it during the sony ericson is on your screem.
sry for my poor english
please try to re-install xcovery

I have them, except for Xrecovery, which is not there for some reason. Ive tried to reinstall it, but it acts like if it was there already. Is there any way to clean erase Xre?? Im thinking about flashin, fixing the OS and then installing Xre again, since i dont have much data to save except for what i already have backed up in my sd card.

hit back button frequently whn SE logo appears.. it'll take u to xrecovery... if u hv installed it via FT .9 than its perfectly installed on ur mentioned BB,
Im really getting frustated :s I reinstalled the Xre installer and ran it.... however, the 3 files had a circule with a crossing red line (like the ones from no smoking signs) and that never changed no matter how long I left it there. Then I checked to see if the 3 files where there, and I think if was only chargemon present, then I tried (after flashing the cellphone) to manually install it (had the cellphone rooted with SuperOneClick) and tried copying those three files and it said they couldnt be copied into system/bin (tried different file managers and same thing). I honestly dont know what else to do, im reaaally frustated at this point. I would appreciate if you guys could help me.
At least is there any other way I could install FreeX10 Froyo 2.2 Beta 4 maybe by using flash tool?? can u please post step by step in case there is??
I would say reflash, root, and then reinstall xrecovery. that's the cleanest solution.
dont reflash! your system>bin folder likely wasn't mounted r/w. Just try again and before you paste the files click the 'mount r/w' button at the top.

Thank you very much, that really helped me!!!!
What I did was, in case it happens to someone else:
1- Download ES File Manager from the market.
2- Open it, hit settings and then Home Directory. I typed in the value "/" without the quotation marks, that way I could easily move around the folders. (Not necessary I guess, a matter of preferences).
3- Next is to mount the system files, by going into ES File Manager, settings, root options, root explorer, then hit Yes, HiAPK, and Mount File System.
4- Then, I had the 3 files (chargemon, busybox and xrecovery.tar) in my sdCard in a folder named Xrecovery, and one by one I copied them into /system/bin
Thats basically it, I rebooted the phone and by hitting the back button I gave me the Xrecovery menu.
Good luck
I had the same issue when trying to install xrecovery...ended up having to do a manual install. I think the process is described in reindeiros how-to noob thread..
Edit:I did the same as lsamuelcf...only used Root explorer instead.

first of all thanks for answering my question...
but i need some guidance to install xrecovery properly
Go to x10 mini pro development section...there's a stickie about it...if that doesn't work den I have another solution which workd fr me in the same case u suffered
Unroot ur phone via superoneclick den do a factory reset (I know its painful so tryna keep a backup of ur apps with titanium backup before unrooting). Then after factory reset, root ur phone again and get a busybox installer from market and this time don't use xrecovery installer. Try to copy the chargemon, busybox and xrecovery.tar file to system/bin
P.s: download xRecovery-mini-0.1-beta.tar.bz2 from development forum to get busybox, chargemon and xrecovery.tar
Use root explorer to copy paste them...don't forget to give this files full permission

xrecovery works works for x10 mini , testes !!
i couldnt wait until night , really wanna share this point that couldnt find it on guidence sites im really toxicated and it doesnt mean that i wanna show off my dicovery
instruction :
1 download the attached rar file , pass is : "afra"
2 unistall all xrecovery u installed before .
use root explorer and delete previous xrecovery.tar and other 2 file (busy box and chargemon) from sdcard & system\bin directory .
3 now u clear ! go to market or find busybox aplication (better install it from merket )
3.1 -when it ask which version u want to install choose th last one 1.8...
3.2 -and when it aks where do u wanna install , choose system\bin
3.3 -done installation
4 . extract the "xrecovery tested work for x10 mini.rar" , copy three files into
your phone sdcard directory(means defualt directory open when u plugged you phone to pc) and unplugged the phone
5 . (this is the elegant point ) use a root explorer and first 'cut' the

then try to change permission(due to instruction u know) and you will have no error ! change is done
6 now copy xrecovery.tar (permission changed file) from system\bin into sdcard
folder and copy two other "busybox" "chargemon" into system\bin
