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 installed root via superoneclock and installed xrecovery via flashtool, but didn't work well, than i installed xrecovery mini and it works great.
i am using an x10mini pro

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946259
2) To change permissions i used a free version of root explorer

Rebooted phone, and then the checks got ticked second time round. Now running freex10 2.2 beta 4 from z. Ita amazing.

copy the three files to sd
open supermanger chose settings mark: root
go back to the first menu
select file manager
wait for superuser to give rigths to filemanager
copy the three files to /system/ bin
the file manager ask you wich modus do you want: you chose R/W
after that you reboot your phone

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,
evilbarcode.
Can anyone provide me with a link where I can download minicmpro? Plz

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..

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..

You have to push it more than once, right after the "Sony Ericsson" appears.
Keep pushing it (1 or 2 times a second)

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

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

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.

Same here. I used superoneclickv1.6.3 shortfuse to root. installed superuser and busy box. but in that process the phone never rebooted by itself. I always had to manually reboot.... during the xrecovery install i cant get to the second screen it just stops and i am left with the install app only.
Used the manual method of copying files to system bin and then install via the apk. wiped Dalvik cache first thing
When I used super1click it says x-recovery is installed, but when I re-boot it just... re-boots. But it's rooted, and installed jit ok. Strange

Hey guys... first at all, sorry my poor english...
Today i tried too instalate the recovery and nothing works fine. But, I did something that works.
I install manually, according to the instructions at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571.
Resuming: "Manual Installation:
- Download the apk, rename it to xrecovery.ZIP
- Unpack the file, find ./res/raw folder inside. It should contain 3 files (chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar)
- copy these 3 files into /system/bin using root explorer (remember to remount /system rw"
But after do this, I allready not could use recovery. Then I open the app in the drawer, and also install in there. The 3 archives must be with a green circle, then everything must be allright.
hope this help you too

Hi guys,
I need help, my xrecovery wont start and the phone reboots normally. Im using a x10a, firmware .435 baseband .54. I installed busybox, and then using flashtool .9 i rooted the phone and then installed xrecovery, but it wont start when presing back after SE logo. Is there any way i can fix this problem? Ive researched in this page already but theres nothing about this.

you must press the back button during the sony logo appears.
if dont work repeat the installation of xrecory and busybox without the flash tool. follow this instruction http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
sorry for my bad english!
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.

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

Owner of post,
Do you have the latest busybox from the market? That helps with the xrecovery installation.
yes i do have most recent busybox
This might sound weird but download "root checker" from market to make sure u have root and busybox. Ur phone be able to install xrecovery if u have the latest busybox and your rooted correctly. Something sounds weird here. Lets make this step a make sure step.
When pressing back button, to activate xrecovery, i press it the second i see the sony ericsson logo and i keep pressing till i see it boot to xreovery.
when u installed xrecovery through the Apk. From the forums of xda, did u press the new xrecovery button in your apps and follow the directions from there?
I hope this helps.

That is the most difficult post I've seen on this site. It refers to an update.zip but it can't be found. Links going to other posts and on... and on. I use the latest file v3: reboot_into_rec_univ_xperia_v3.zip and I can't find GScript. I don't know.
flash the zip through recovery. Then open the GScript Lite app and press the menu button on your phone and select add script. Then press 'load file' and select each of the 3 scripts one at a time and press save (make sure the need su box is checked) then you can just run the script to reboot into recovery or even put a shortcut on your desktop to it and essentially create a widget for it (I use the XRecovery install app icon as the picture)
