Officially, youre stuck on 2.1
Try uninstalling xrecovery then reinstall. Or just reflash using SEUS and format the whole phone if youre afraid of a boot loop. You gotta reroot and stuff. Custom rom-wise, quite a choice we have.

did you go into estrong or Root explorer, change it to writable, then cut and paste appropriate xrecovery files into appropriate folders? needs to be done to use xrecovery.

I thought the auto install of the xrecovery.apk was sufficient? I didnt do any manual copy of files and my X10 is ok. Is it a thing for certain phones or something?

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.

help, ive tried to root so many times using the superoneclick rooting method, and i dont know why it isnt working, im usb debugging, and everytime, the program stops at waiting for device and then stops responding, i have to force close it cuz it stops responding. Ive looked at the forums but theres too many, and very little for the vibrant, ive tried what they say but come out with an phone not rooted. Can someone give me detailed information about what to do, and not just give me a link to a forum ive probably already read.
Do you have a android 3e recovery? Or you can't root straight up because I rooted fine with superoneclick root even after the 2.2 upgrade

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

In this page there's a link an automatic installation of root and xrecovery, why don't you try that?
Had similar issues on my x10i flashtool wouldnt set up xrecovery correctly, so downloaded app from market, installed, then clicked install again, but the three checks stayed crossed. 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
when the white "sony ericssion" appear press the back button
then xrecovery start

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,

*SOLVED TOO*
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

try 1.5.5

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.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
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.
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.

i think you should repair with SEUS and start again with rooting etc...
Which xbin are you talking about? The /system/xbin directory?
Maybe it's because the method you are using to root tries to installs the su binary in /system/xbin. Which method are you using? You could try another method, for example, if I remember well, when I used to use z4root, it installed the su binary to another directory.
Once root is working, you can use any terminal app (or adb shell) to recreate the directory.

This is a solution that surely would work.
Yeah..I'm talking bout the /system/xbin folder...I tried using z4root but it jams halfway...superoneclick doesn't work either..
I like the root option in flashtool, always worked for me when the others failed.

Use flashtool to wipe your data and get back to stock rom. Then you can do whatever you want with it.
