From what I've heard, it's using another code or whatever. CWM Recovery is only used with LATER ROM versions and not the current one. If you feel you ever need to reinstall any of the current ROMs, you need to have xRecovery.

Hello - Help please?

I m new to xda... I need step by step instructions for rooting x10i running 2.3.3.
Once i tried with flash tools 0.2.9.1 but i ended up in crashing my android!

Man, follow all steps, there's no secret. When u did the last flash, do you know what went wrong?
No... It showed some "busybox" stuff, "pushing" some files.... Then asked me to reboot and upgrade kernel. On flashing n clicking upgrade... My fone became dead!

Dean_abu... I got my phone rooted brother. Look don't read the instructions. First of all watch at least 4times the video on youtube featuring doomlord's method. Then read the instructions. Run the flash and parallely keep the video running. (pause the video for convenience). It will help you, as it did me!

U need to reflash phone from flashtool to loose root...
I have rooted my device running 2.3.3. I hv installed xrecovery. I installed update.zip using xrecovery. But when I'm Trying to install a custom rom from xrecovery this is what i get :
"Installing: SDCARD: X10-CM7-V011-XperiaArc-theme.zip
Finding update package...
E: Can't move /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or/dev/block/mmcblk0)
E: Can't mount SDCARD: X10-CM7-V011-XperiaArc-theme.zip
Installation aborted."
Now, When I go back to retry or Report Error or Install Update.zip... This is what I get:
"E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or/dev/block/mmcblk0)
(Device or resource busy)"
I am helpless guys!

How is everyone installing CWM?

I could not find any posts on how to install clockwork mod for X10. The closest one was x10 mini pro.
Can anyone please guide me in the right direction?
Thanks!

1) WRONG SECTION
2) For which phone? Mini or Mini Pro?
You mean you need a stock ROM, with system folder?
