I have done everything every guide has told me:
Rooting
Flashing BB (.49) Done
Installing Xrecovery (manually) Done
Clearing userdata, formatting, clearing cache (etc) Done
And choose from the zip (TripNMiUI Iris Gingerbread TripNRaver- v0.3.0.zip.
When I try to flash the zip in xRecovery I get an error: please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update binary) to create working zip packages.
PLEASE HELP
which xrecovery are you using? you need the earlier version to flash some roms. Sounds like you have V1.0.0 I think the new one is
im his friend, i was helping him flash. yes we were usin 1.0, what should we use?

Use this to convert the rom to xrecovery 1.0.0
we tried converting. xrecovery installed it but booted into stock 2.1.... any other suggestions?!?!?!?!?
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9612139/xRecovery-0.3-release.apk
Get this from my dropbox and install that one, it's the earlier one
we tried that, but after it installs the zip it just boots into stock 2.1 again! we have no idea on how to fix it...
does it still give the error? try another ROM, or DL the same one again?
no it doesn't give an error it claims that it installed successfully. We havent tried another ROM yet or DLd the same one yet either.
did you install busybox from market and then run the installer? making sure it says done and tells you that it is installed
you also have to run the xrecovery installer from your app drawer too
yes, I installed busybox and ran it on xbin and bin, and i clicked install on xrecovery too. (everything was ticked off)
all things point to it working.... Hmmmmmm
Well, I'm stumped. Anyone else out there?
its still broken, is there like a x10 rom that just improves 2.1?

so i just bought a vibrant with firmware 2.1 update 1 and the build ends with ji6.
i was able to root the device with no problems and now that i installed rom manager i cant seem to install clockwork recovery. every time i click on it on rom manager noting happens. Is there another way for me to install clockwork recovery ? i searched everywhere. please any help would be most appreciated
i had the same problem yesterday, ROM manager pretty much just downloads an update.zip file, so when you hit reinstall packages it takes you to CWM... well i have the newest version of the update.zip file i could find (still outdated).... but after you flash a new ROM the clockwork mod should be installing fine, it did for me..
so i attached the update.zip file that i found.. so just put this in your sd card (not in any files), delete any update.zip files you may have and then rename this to update .... it will automatically turn to update.zip... then just reboot into recovery then hit reinstall packages -- then it should work
wow thanks that did the job.now it if isnt a much of a bother but can i flash to a custom mod 2.2 axura and then unlock? cause the unlocker cant seem to find a unlock code
Hi guys,
I have unlocked my bootloader a few days ago, and also installed the CWM recovery, which I used to install the ATT 2.3.4 ROM (I own an International Atrix), and it was working flawlessly. Being annoyed by that bunch of bloatware, I decided to install the Alien-ROM, so I wiped data with fastboot -w, and entered CWM to erase the cache partition/dalvik cache and install Alien. The problem is, when I tried to install the .zip package, CWM threw at me "Installation Aborted", with no error message whatsoever, just before "Beginning Installation". At first I thought my .zip was corrupted, so I re-downloaded it and tried again, but got the same error.
Being unable to install the AlienROM, I fastbooted the ORFR ROM (surely a lot cleaner than ATT's) and installed the ROM manager app, and through it, updated my CWM to the latest version. And then there I was trying to install the .zip again, with no success. As a last effort, I uninstalled manually the install-recovery.sh file and the recovery partition, reinstalled Tenfar's CWM, but fell into the same error: "Installation Aborted".
Does someone have a clue of that is happening??
Thanks in advance.
Rom manager recovery does not work always.what I suggest is use tenfar recovery and then put alien zip on your ext.SD card and use tenfar recovery --- choose zip from SD card--- browse and select alien.zip and flash through it.
Hope this helps.
Well, I tried to install Tenfar's CWM, as I said at the end of my first post. I recently installed a new CWM-based recovery, and it also failed to install any .zip. Could it be because I'm using ORFR ROM? I've noticed the misbehaving os CWM when I uninstalled ATTs ROM...
Install rom racer's recovery.
I voided my warranty.
Use this link: romracer's custom CWM
Let us know if this helps

May be you want to try installing the CWM from here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
This should most likely help you fixing the issue you are facing.
Good Luck.
Cheers!!!
Just tried the recovery mentioned above by you all... and nothing, I keep getting the same error -> "Installation aborted", right after "Beggining installation" (or something like that)
Any clues?

How are you installing RomRacer's CWM? Flashing the .zip or via fastboot?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I've installed it through fastboot, as it's the only way I can do it... my problem resides solely on the fact that I can't install any .zip through it, I keep getting "Installation aborted", no matter what I try to install (Kernels/ROMs/etc)
Pedrohz... Are you using a Mac? If so do you have it set to unzip after downloading? Then are you re-zipping the file before you try to install? If so turn off the unzip feature. Just a thought... Hope it helps
Similar Issue, can't boot into anything :/ if you can help, read below :S
Ok, so I backed up using Oringinal CWM, and it said all OK. After this, I restored the backup, just to check all was working. I got the error error formatting /system. Rebooting, I found that my phone wouldn't boot. Thinking the only way out was to flash a new ROM, I flashed the new boot.img from evals Orange France 2.3.4 firmware, so that I would have the ram fix. After this, I wiped all the caches and the user data, and tried to install the ROM.
SAME FRIGGEN ERROR. no error code, just installation aborted.
Finally, I tried AGAIN with romracers cwm, but same error. Restoring from backup now gives the error - "Unable to flash new boot.img" or something along those lines.
If anyone cares, heres what my phones running
Firmware = Orange UK 4.4.20 (Android 2.2.2)
SBF= Bell_ihop (the international bootloader unlock sbf)
State= Won't boot past the big red M in the centre of the screen.
Have been trying to upgrade my x10i, have been having a problem with getting xrecovery installed as I know it requires it, it came with it installed but with only 2.2 android system installed .
I have managed to install this version X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_1241-1846 ( 233mb odd ), which i got from one of the treads here, installed it to get me out of having a soft bricked phone, so the base band is now .71 while android v is now 2.3.3.
Only real problem is that i cannot seem to install xrecovery, or get into recovery mode. Does anybody have a ftf file that installs xrecovery so that i can then look at installing one of the nice roms on here
does anybody otherwise know how to install xrecovery to a x10 without it already?
I have been looking on here but have had not much luck except from almost knackering my phone, and ending up till about 3.30 in the morning getting it back up and running, so any ideas would be appreciated.
also flashtool doesnt seem to detect the phone, when booting into flash mode except from when flashing a file.
I think that its rooted, via superuser installed, plus have also installed busybox, as i know thats also meant to be installed.
If you put into Google download xreocovery.apk you can install it that way make sure you have busybox installed

Go watch this video!

That is the DooMLord method.
Helped me get my 2.3 phone rooted and put xrecovery.
2.3.3 gingerbread needs to be flashed to a phone that uses root with xrec,superuser,and busybox installed and working before trying to flash.
As far as I know you can't root 2.3.3.
When trying to install xrec what happens, does it ask for supeuser
permission?
If the pc dosent detect the phone u must only have pluged in the phone on usb,sry4my english:d

ok, got this far, managed to get xrecovery 0.3 installed, after getting access to root and busybox installed.
now trying to install the wolf gb 3.5 rom installed it says this error:
installing : sdcard : wolf_gb_2.3_tw_v3.5.zip
finding update package....
e: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcb1k0)
(Device or resource busy)
E: cant mount sdcard:wolf_gb_2.3_tw_v3.5.zip
installation aborted
i then find that the card has has been unmounted, and cannot be remounted unless i reboot, any ideas?
Have also tried to use the restore method for a couple of the roms here that that comes up with error:
e: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcb1k0)
(Device or resource busy)
cant mount /sdcard
Did you backup your rom, system reset, wipe cache, wipe data.
Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHBYJW2verg&feature=feedu_more
edit: You should still have the rom in tact on the phone.
When I say wipe and reset that = format in xrec.
Yep done all that, its xrecovery im having a problem with, i cant figure out how to update, tried copying over to phone with write access, no luck, cant even figure out about the shell as i dont see anything for it, so cant run commands, im really getting naffed off about this now as been spending nite and day trying to figure it out with no luck
You didn't watch the video did you, save you and me some time and watch it!
I need to know a few things.
1. Can you you boot into recovery? 2. do you have a way of copying files to your phone. 3. have you the kernel, Bb, Rom and any tweaks and fixes you want, downloaded. 4. What rom are you running on your phone and does it work. 5. Do you have PC Companion, Update Service, and Flashtool installed on you PC.
Why are you talking about shell, commands, and write access. you don't need any of that.
Settle down... watch the video, it's only 14 mins.
Hi guy. The first thing I want to say is there are two way to root from Android 2.3.3:
- Downgrade to Android 2.1 and root then install custom ROM but it's just an Android 2.1 with Android 2.3.3 baseband and kernel to run with custom ROM.
- Root from Android 2.3.3 and till now just one method is working.
I think that its rooted, via superuser installed, plus have also installed busybox, as i know thats also meant to be installed.

You did the wrong way.
This is root method and install xRecovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196808&page=1
And I will say that the BusyBox installer will not help you to install xRecovery. It will not work. So, you have to do like that method and watch video if you want.
Guys, I'm with some problems (everything works fine for everyone, except for me) with CWM Recovery, it's crash backuping and don't install any custom ROM.
So, I would like to know if there's any method to install one custom ROM using the PC. Anyone knows?
Mine never crashed once in that cwm installation. maybe you have a corrupt cwm or something?
try it from the beginning. use the batch script here on this thread
ClockWorkMod Installer - Windows v4 - Linux v4
and see if it works now.
i guess you would have manually installed cwm.
i dont think there is a way to use the pc to install roms unless a dev steps up to do that. try the basics and see if it works.
IF you still experience crashing try flashing the whole phone using SE update service and then go from the base. it was easy to do that (through my experience i found that).
Good luck with the recovery
Tim
The problem it that I've just had flased it and installed with this CWM Installer. It started having problems after I tried to install the CM 7, when I was with Ginger. DX v6 or v9, I don't remembered.
And the xRecovery started with problems after that too. I've installed ArcMini Theme with it well, but after the Ginger.DX, I couldn't do ANYTHING!
Oh, and sorry for English.
I don't thing it will possible or easy to install via PC & you should first go for xrecovery, install ROM like froyobread (which having simple installation process) & will also install updated CWM recovery automatically. Then you can replace this ROM with any other ROM & remember now you have CWM as well as xrecovery.......enjoy
add me

I'm searching for that also, So if you found any way to do that kindly inform me.
I've been messing around with my x10a and I can't seem to flash any ROMs in xRecovery.
I've been trying to flash Wolfbreak's ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266080) but xRecovery keeps giving me an error saying that it can't update the script or something and that it was changed in Android 1.5.
I searched around and people said to use a lower version of xRecovery, but I installed the recovery through flashtool and it is still not working.
Another problem I've encountered is that data doesn't work anymore for my phone. No clue why.
Here are the steps on what I did.
1. Downloaded Flashtool
2. Rooted and installed xRecovery.
3. Unlocked bootloader
4. Flashed "X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200.zip " for x10a through Flashtool.
5. Flashed Doom Kernel v06-1113 [medium OVERCLOCK VERSION] through Flashtool
6. Flashed Doom Kernel x10_gb_DooMKernel-v06-1113_wifi modules through xRecovery (worked)
Help is very appreciated! I've installed custom ROM's on my htc, motorola, and tablets but this phone is extremely weird.
Try ref lashing the kernel

That's weird. Did You try to flash new ROM via CWM?

Yeah, I tried flashing it with CWM and I've been getting the same error about not able to update script
Edit: Data's working now but it keeps cutting in and out. Phone keeps popping out with a notification saying that download settings didn't save. Any ideas?
The error i'm getting in recovery is : amend scripting(update-script) is no longer supported. amend scripting was deprecated by google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the clockworkmod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
