Hi,
I've got a problem. I want to install the latest 2.2 rom beta 4 but I can't get into Xrecovery. Probably I'm doing something really silly wrong but I can't seem to figure it out. I've got busybox installed. When I (keep) press(sing) the back button it doesn't respond.
Regards
Budokay
I'm having problems getting the phone to boot into recovery mode. No matter how many times I hit the back button, or long pres, or a combination of both before booting up, damn if the phone doesn't always boot up regular!
But do you have it installed correctly? I just press a few times the back button on sony ericsson's screen and it works. Sometimes just with one press, sometimes pressing it a few times. Look at your chargemon (/bin/chargemon) and see if it's right
Code:
if [ -s /dev/keycheck ]
then
[...]
# Mount recovery partition
cd /
rm -r /sbin
rm -f etc
tar -xf /system/bin/xrecovery.tar
[...]
fi
I don't get it. I'm really noobish .

Have you tried the automatic installation?
If it shows green arows, reboot, tap back button several times, enjoy xrecovery.

no! does not work!!!
I have installed xrecovery recently and had some issues. Automatic installation didn't work for me so had to copy files manually with root explorer.
I can confirm that the Automatic Installation did not work for me either...
(Rogers) Build 2.1.1.a.0.6 if it matters.
Edit: I can also confirm that the Manual Method works just fine.
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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You first need to have root, then install busybox from the market. Not the busybox that comes from the root but the one from the market.
Then when installed the installer, open it and press allow when superuser pops up. Then it should work.
Else you can try the method described above.

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.

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.

lol luckly i live in singapore
first of all, lets start with custom recovery
1. Download the custom recovery file from here and here
2. DO NOT rename them, and put them neatly inside the ROOT of the SD CARD (that means it should be at /sdcard/ on androids
3. next, get Terminal Emulator from the market. search it.
4. Get a nice keyboard to work on for a while. you need to type A LOT
5. get titanium backup and backup everything. menu > batch
6. reboot phone.
7. Turn on phone and go to terminal and type the following
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*there should be no error except at stage 5 there could be, but not always.
8. good. flash complete. now grab the megatron ROM and the lagfix. they both should be .zip . DONT OPEN IT.
9 put the two inside the root of SD card
10. go to terminal, write
su
*press enter*
reboot recovery
11. you should have a menu of things. go to flash zip or sth (you will know) w/ ur volume buttons
12. press menu and you will be able to choose the two zips. flash any of them first, and do the second afterwords.
13. YAY DONE
14. no need for bucks thanks. just press the thanks button down there. its free.
*PM or EMAIL ME IF YOU WANT FURTHER HELP*
*[email protected]*
Also, isnt 2.2.2 not rootable??
I think it has to be downgraded to 2.2 and then rooted..
Edit:
Sorry, My mistake.. Didnt realize 2.2.2 is rootable now..
2.2.2 it's now rootable
It says that "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh ": No such file or directory.
I'm sure that I placed both of the files on the root of my sdcard
Well, I guess the hardest part is getting the recovery. Well I share my method so, here we go.
What you need:
1. terminal emulator(download from market - free)
2. recovery installer(download here)
3. your ROM which is megatron(download here)
4. Touch-screen bug fix(download here)
5. Back-up all your SD contents to your PC.
-. optional: if your file explorer doesn't support unrar/unzipping, download one. but since you have a PC just use winrar.
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) select options:
Partition sdcard > partition SD
4. when asked choose your desired partition size then choose swap size as 0. This should format your SD card.(initially this will leave you with an ext2 partition, if you want ext3 then upgrade it to ext3 and so on using the same menu)
5. when done, press back repeatedly and reboot.
6. now, move your ROM(megatron) and the touchscreen-lag-fix files to the root of your SD card.
7. open terminal again and enter these commands
Code:
su
reboot recovery
just wait and it should bring you back to recovery.
8. in recovery, choose option:
- flash zip menu
- to avoid hiccups just toggle the signature verification
- flash zip from sdcard
- first flash your rom(megatron), when done immediately flash touchscreen-bug-fix
- press back repeatedly then reboot.
9. enjoy

just ignore that error message. this line is only there for those with different phone models which has the mention file in the phone internal storage. so this shouldn't affect optimus one users.
@ungaze, i did your way . It took me to android system recovery .
Anyway it didnt ask me for partition sdcard. So should i just reboot my phone?
congratulations, you now have recovery. you should see some options.
press volume buttons to navigate up and down(menu button=select/ok). Choose the option:
- Partition sdcard
- Partition SD
If you want to explore your phone a bit more, you could just reboot your phone for now. Just remember, to go back to recovery you could open terminal and enter:
Code:
su
reboot recovery
or when phone is off, press and hold "power/lock button"+"home button"+"vol down button" until recovery menu shows up.
Alright , did that . My friend told me about nandroid how can i do that before i flash the other roms ?
theres a menu option "backup/restore" open it and choose "nand backup". when done, there should be a folder in your SD named "nand" copy the contents to a pc or somewhere safe as this will serve as your backup file.
Okay, i did a nandroid and ready to flash roms . Wish me well =)
Anyway why do i receive E:Bad boot message when i reboot recovery.
everyone has it. it's perfectly fine. good luck
Anyway, as I was nandroid-ing i saw this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5GWgjJT2zo in the end, it shows the guy having no reception?
edit: He didnt have it on at the first place anyway. Sorry for the inconvenience.
i didnt view the link but im guessing hes using amon_ra v1.1, the method i gave you installs amon_ra v1.2 which fixes most bugs with ext4 and nand recovery/backup
By toggl-ing signature verification do you mean to enable or disable it?
disable. this is really not necessary as the zips youre about to apply are surely signed. but in case you have problems in the future, just remember that disabling sig veryfication may fix the problem.
Thanks man, how do i donate to you?
Btw i just screw my phone. Stuck at android screen page ;(. How do i restore the nandroid backup? Should i wipe my phone first, then do nandroid restore?
Will it restore me my version 2.2.2?
When i nandroid it , my phone was on ver 2.2.2
Ungaze?

Here is what I believe is a simple way of rooting and installing CWM for Windows.
I have bricked my phone many times now and used SEUS to get it back to 2.1.1.A.0.6 and had to go through the process of rooting and installing CWM again. Here is what I have found.
Download SuperOneClick to a folder, e.g. C:\SuperOneClick
Create a sub-folder under this folder, e.g. C:\SuperOneClick\CWM
Download your preferred version of CWM or xRecovery (should be the 3 files "busybox", "chargemon", "recovery.tar")
Copy these 3 files into the sub-folder you created, e.g. C:\SuperOneClick\CWM
Copy the code snippet below and save as INSTALL.BAT in the sub-folder
Reflash your phone with SEUS to get back to plain 2.1.1.A.0.6
Reboot and set USB debugging mode
Run SuperOneClick and click Root - do not reboot
Once Root has finished click Shell Root - do not reboot
Open a command window and enter CD C:\SuperOneClick\CWM
Run INSTALL.BAT - this will reboot the phone at the end
Press BACK key on the phone at the Sony Ericcson text - you should get into CWM
The benefit of the above is that if you keep the files in the folder above you can repeat from step 6 very easily.
Code:
@echo off
echo.
echo.1) Run SuperOneClick
echo. a) Click Root - do not reboot
echo. b) Click Shell Root - do not reboot
echo.2) Press any key in this window to install CWM - phone will reboot
echo.
pause
..\adb devices
..\adb remount
..\adb push busybox /system/bin
..\adb push chargemon /system/bin
..\adb push recovery.tar /system/bin
..\adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox
..\adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/chargemon
..\adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/recovery.tar
..\adb reboot
This technique does not require installing BusyBox from the Market, setting permissions via Root Explorer or anything like that. It just uses SuperOneClick and a small script using the ADB program in the SuperOneClick folder.
I got SuperOneClick from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=515017&d=1297434892 (from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950324)

Very useful, thank you. I usually spend a couple of minutes re-installing CWMR via a root explorer and it annoys me. This saves 10-20 minutes per restore
It doesn't work..

I am sorry that your phone got bricked. Unfortunately you will need to reflash your phone via SEUS. After that check your phone settings are the same as mine below. The 3 files work with my phone settings.
My X10 Mini Pro has the following Settings->About Phone
Model number U20i
Firmware version 2.1-update1
Baseband version M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015

Can you confirm that the above settings are the same as in your phone. This would confirm that the 3 files work for my phone settings.

yes, the above settings from about are the same on my phone.
Hmmm, just reflashed again, ran it and forgot to include busybox/rebooted.
Now it says it can't copy the files/files are read-only and system
Any ideas?
Aside from following the 'do not reboot' (edit: ran superoneclick again and it's all good (re-run the script))
Can't vouch for the busybox/etc set above, but the on I always used still works when installed this way instead of manually.

I am sorry that your phone got bricked. Unfortunately you will need to reflash your phone via SEUS. After that check your phone settings are the same as mine below. The 3 files work with my phone settings.
My X10 Mini Pro has the following Settings->About Phone
Model number U20i
Firmware version 2.1-update1
Baseband version M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Kernel version 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
Build number 2.1.1.A.0.6

ps here's the one I use. Can't remember where the chargemon is from, but busybox is from xrec mini and CWM is 3.2.0 rc3
I made this, a lot of test give a lot of success, but it's only for mini pro.
CWM recovery by this script easily: http://www.multiupload.com/NDZB8HSIOV
Heres more easy way to install cwm or xrecovery or jit or apps2sd
this is basically quangnhut123's AAIS script, I modified it to add cwm support,
heres the link to download http://www.4shared.com/file/KQf9bym2/AAIS.html

1) Download n extract the aais.zip to /sdcard
2)Open terminal emulator(available on market)
3) enter following commands
su
cd /sdcard/aais
Sh install.sh

4) choose ur option and enter the no.
plz note it requires pre rooted device! Only for mini pro! 2.1.1.A.0.6!
Why not try D4rK's recovery installer? It is a one-click installer which lets you choose from xrecovery or CWM...Google search D4 recovery installer
For recovery I made this: http://www.multiupload.com/QE60V6RORD
It works like a charm, thanks to the script xrecovery of mikevhl
Maybe someone could make a script like that for mini ?
D4rK's recovery installer ? I can't find it, even with the google's help...

when i tried it, it didn't work on sdk 7 or was it 8...
What do you mean by sdk 7 or sdk 8? Someone mentioned sdk numbers before. Is this something to do with downloading the complete android stuff onto my windows pc just to get the adb command? This is why I thought using the adb in SuperOneClick was so useful.

no, I thought it was about downloading the SDK, but it's actually about the runtimes on the phone... I think (the only way to change them is pretty much by getting a rom with newer ones )
To install custom roms just follow my step-by-step to install:
1st - download and run it:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913136 - to root and install xrec on your phone.
2nd - download your rom
3rd - make a backup using xrec
4th - choose install custom zip and select zip from sd card
5th - wait
6th - reboot
7th - configure
8th - Thats ready to ROCK with custom roms!!!
I hope you understand it all, and if you have questions just PM me or simply ask here
With this .exe I finally managed to get SuperOneClick to run through properly but now I don't know how to get to xrecovery.
To boot in xrecovery I thought you had to press and hold the back button mutiple times when the white sony ericsson logo appears. I do this and my phone just starts up normally. Advice please?
Sometimes xrec screws up, I would usually copy them files manually to the /system/bin folder using terminal using these steps;
unpack the zip to your sdcard,
type the following ;
You may need busybox from the market to be abled to perform these tasks, if your'e abled to without, its your luck
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
allows you to copy to the system folder.
cp /sdcard/xrecovery.tar /system/bin
cp /sdcard/chargemon /system/bin
cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin
copies the files to its execution path.
afterwards set the premissions to the files so it may run under boot;
chmod 677 /system/bin/xrecovery.tar
chmod 677 /system/bin/chargemon
chmod 677 /system/bin/busybox
I came up to no booting too, manually fixed it this way helped (you may also wanna set premissions to 777, although its mainly NOT recommenced)
Reboot and try to load it up again
p.s; since im running CWM now, you might wanna check for case sensetive letters in the filenames!
Good luck.
Ok I have installed Froyobread ROM and got it working. All was fine until I was installing Launcher Pro Plus from the market and it froze for 10 minutes. I pulled out the battery, put it back in and turned the phone back on. Now all that happens is CWM opens up, I can't get it to boot the ROM.
thnx 4 that but can u tell me how to apply a hotfix? do i use cwm update..clueless i kno..but we all gota start somewere..
To apply a hotfix install normally from CWM...

Bro, you forgot to add the line - wipe data/cache to the step. it is a must after flashing a custom rom.
Thanks!
EDIT: better you tell people to follow CWM from now on, that is much better than xrec. i like cwm very much

seriously, that post was almost a year ago, was that really necessary?
certo, mas...
que dizer daqueles que adquiriram seu aparelho recentemente e estão com stock rom, root, bootloader intacta? É muitos perguntam na inocência não para perturbar os desenvolvedores.
The thing wont recognize my phone and wont show the options to do xrecovery or any of the other options except for Flash...please help im desperate for a rom
You need to root first.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196421
Then in flashtool click 'ask root permissions' and have your phone unlocked and accept superuser permissions w/the prompt on your phone. Then you're good to go.
*edit- make sure it is the fixed xrec for 2.3.3. I use a Rom w xrec included so I didn't have to install it & I dont remember if that's the one in flashtool now.
Which firmware version are you on?
I have done that already...i am rooted because I have superuser on my phone. Where do I check firmware?

these commands still the same you just need to change (eventually) to the right path.
check the zip structure to see that
HTML:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
dd if=/sdcard/busybox of=/system/bin/busybox
dd if=/sdcard/chargemon of=/system/bin/chargemon
dd if=/sdcard/xrecovery.tar of=/system/bin/xrecovery.tar
reboot
chargemon to \system\bin
charger to \system\bin
sh to \system\xbin
xrecovery.tar to \system\xbin
i dont see any busybox file or anything like that...please help i dun think busybox has been installed...

Just start all over with flashtool it will work then.
Go to settings then applications, then development, check debug mode.
Start flash tool on your pc and connect the phone
IF the phone is rooted, it should be recognized by flash tool
On flash tool click ask root perm, look at your phone screen, superuser should pop up asking if to give permission, simply choose allow.
Then click recovery on flash tool and wait a sec....
should pop up asking which gingerbread version to use. choose 0.3GB, since its gb version you have.
when you're ready to use xrecovery, restart the phone
as soon as the phone comes on and the first sony ericsson name comes up, keep pressing the back button, xrecovery will come up.
i did both kernel things...but the thing is it won't recognize my device as a rooted device...i have superuser and I have used apps that require root...so i guess the problem is well idk...and thats what i need help with sorting out.
1. Install busybox from market (xrec needs busybox)
2. Give root explorer root acces and mount /system writeable (look in settings of your file explorer)
3. Copy files to right place:
chargemon to /system/bin
charger to /system/bin
sh to /system/xbin
xrecovery.tar to /system/xbin
4. Give above files the right permissions (long touch on file and choose property option):
user > read, write, execute
other > read, execute
group > read, execute
