zdzihu i hope u dont mind me posting this...
ALL CREDITS GO TO ZDZIHU & FREEXPERIA TEAM FOR THEIR GREAT WORK IN KEEPING OUR DEVICES ALIVE AND ROCKING!!!!
I saw that many users were running into problems (bootlooped/stuck at SE text logo) by installing the latest xRecovery v1.0.0 the wrong way/wrong update.zip on different custom roms...
so here i will share some modified installers which i created for my own use but i guess it will help u guys too till ur favorite ROM dev implements it in his/her ROM...
[*] AS ZDZIHU IS CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THE ISSUES IN xRecovery v1.0.0 and removed links in his thread... I advise you to kindly wait for some time before trying out this new Recovery [*]
the files provided here are for older recoveries (xrec v0.0.x & FreeXperia rec) only...
all the files are update.zip (amend syntax) flashable via recovery
[IMP] installing these files MAY BREAK any special features provided by ur ROM dev (which were incorporated into the chargemon file)

[ Installer for xRecovery v1.0.0 ]
2.1 ROMs
Please use the xRecovery-1.0.0-update.zip provided by zdzihu in the xRecovery thread
2.2 ROMs (who dont require custom kernel by default. e.g.: FreeX10)
Please use the FreeX10-beta4-hotfix2.zip provided by zdzihu in the FreeX10 thread
2.3 ROMs (who require custom kernel by default. e.g.: CM7)
THIS CAN BE USED ON CM7/other roms which use custom kernel as default booting option... I have myself tested it & currently using it on CM7.0.3 J021 K011..
xRecovery-1.0.0-rbt_kexec.zip
2.1/2.2/2.3 ROMs
This is for those ROMs who dont require custom kernel by default but have the option to select custom kernel on next bootup.... basically the ROMs which use FreeXperia Recovery but donot boot custom kernel by default... or users who are using freexperia recovery to test custom kernels can also use this file...
xRecovery-1.0.0-rbt_test_kexec.zip
[ Restore older Recovery ]
i am currently having a little trouble with edify syntax + update-binary combination... till then u guys can check the backup current recovery post [RECOMMENDED]
OR
[testing]
just connect the phone (when its booted into the android OS) to PC and use latest FlashTool to install xRecovery (it will actually install FreeXperia Recovery)..
P.S.: once u flash this version of xRecovery (v1.0.0) u will no longer be able to flash Amend syntax update.zips (most of the update.zips available right now including some ROM install update.zips) till the time the devs switch to Edify syntax for their work...
did you check the possibility of creating a backup of your chargemon and xrecovery.
and having a zip which can restore the chargemon and old xrecovery.

i had created these file a few days back...
btw creating such backup/restore file is easy (atleast in Amend syntax)...
the problem is with Edify syntax... i am still not able to get consistent results...
anyways will create a BACKUP_chargemon update.zip (amend syntax) asap...
EDIT:
backup current recovery files ready... checking them now...

download the 2.3 version which requires custom kernel as default... and check the file system/bin/chargemon with 2.2 rom (which requires custom kernel as default) /system/bin/chargemon file... as far as i know the main loading code should be the same...
if u still have doubts just post ur 2.2 rom (which requires custom kernel as default) /system/bin/chargemon content here... so i can tell u immediately...
Backup current chargemon/recovery
Backup current chargemon/recovery
hey guys as was suggested by anantshri i have made a backup chargemon/recovery update.zip...
just flash this file (via recovery) before u flash any files form post #1:
xRec_v1.0.0_BACKUP_current_rec.zip
Few things to keep in mind:
this script will only backup the following two files:
/system/bin/chargemon
/system/bin/xrecovery.tar (this is the recovery file used by xRecovery v0.0.x)
the backups will be stored as:
/system/bin/chargemon.xr.ori
/system/bin/xrecovery.tar.xr.ori
if ur current recovery is not in /system/bin/xrecovery.tar dont worry as the xRecovery v1.0.0 installers provided in post #1 will anyways not remove those files
currently i am working on a restore script but it might take a bit longer
till then u can manually restore your older recovery by doing the following:
boot into OS
start root explorer (or u can do the same via adb shell)
remount /system as rw
navigate to /system/bin/ folder
locate the files:
chargemon.xr.ori
xrecovery.tar.xr.ori (if this file is not there dont worry, u were using freexperia recovery so that is untouched)
once u have verified that the above files are present (meaning that backup of files was properly done) ONLY THEN locate and delete/remove the following files:
chargemon
xrecovery.tar
and finally rename:
chargemon.xr.ori to chargemon
xrecovery.tar.xr.ori to xrecovery.tar
if by chance there is a failure during flashing/something goes wrong in recovery please check the log file created by this backupscript:
/sdcard/xrecovery_v1.0.0_installer_log.txt
P.S.: for those who want to learn/know wht is goin on while flashing the update.zip in this post just check the take_backup file in the update.zip provided

you should install it after the ROM not before! Just reinstall the phone thru SEUS and do it all over again.

alternatively u can get back to older recovery... flash which ever kernel u want... then flash xRecovery v1.0.0...
wht i personally do is i keep a toggle update.zip, with which i can switch between xRecovery v1.0.0 & FreeXperia recovery... i only need to change chargemon file

how about keeping that as update.zip on sdcard and one click switch.
zip should just say
chargemon -> chagemon_1
chagemon_old -> chargemon

ya i know Cobrato has dual recoveries on his rom...
the thing is that the chargemon he uses for it is non standard... so the functionality will break if the modded chargemon gets replaced...
wht i prefer is to use freexperia recovery (which already comes with CM7 and is located at /system/recovery/) and then install xRecovery v1.0.0 on top of it (this is installed at /system/bin/xrecovery.tar)... and just keep toggling chargmons... i know this is not idea solution... but currently there is no other alternative until all update.zip use edify syntax...

this thread is open to help newbies to install the 2.1 custom rom with the simples way..
you also can discuss any problem here..
dont mess the dev thread with a dumb question...
thanks to "Perceval from Hyrule" for the original tutorial..
this is revise version for 2.1
INSTALLATION FOR 2.1 AOSP
Before attempting anything, make sure you have AT LEAST 50% of battery charge. Don't try anything with low battery, you can abort the flashing and brick your device !!!
Please make sure you're also running a 2.1 rom (Generic, nordic, official, custom...)
1st step:
make sure your computer is adb debugging ready..
in case in need for command execution..
- Download Android SDK
You don't need to save the entire archive (but you can), you just need the Tools folder (because it contains ADB, the Android Debug Bridge we need to install files).
2nd step:
- On x10 :
Enable USB debugging (Setting > Applications > Development).
Root your device. easiest way by using z4root.
Download and install Busybox (from Market), make sure it says "Done!".
3rd step:
install xrecovery for recovery menu.
xrecovery a.k.a recovery menu
4th step:
option 1:
Download rom.
2.1 AOSP ROM (make sure 2.1 since this tutorial is for 2.1)
extract the rom (u will get 2 folder + 1 files)
upload the file into your sd card root(sdcard/*.zip)
rename the *.ZIP to Update.ZIP
*the 2 folder contain application which u can install if u like
option 2:
Download rom.
2.1 AOSP ROM (make sure 2.1 since this tutorial is for 2.1)
extract the rom (u will get 2 folder + 1 files)
upload the file into your sd card root(sdcard/*.zip) or in any folder u like
*the 2 folder contain application which u can install if u like
5th step:
boot into recovery menu (by restart and hit few times back button when "SONY ERICSSON" word appear)
backup your original rom(in case u want to restore next time)
hit full wipe
option 1:
hit install update.zip from SD card
option 2:
hit install custom zip
search for the custom zip in folder where u save it
hit the zip file
after reboot, u will get custom rom installed in your X10
good luck ;-)
TIPS
1-u can do like rendeiro2005 said by creating rom folder and put the rom collection in it..
so if u want to change or try other rom just choose zip file from the particular folder...
this require using step from option 2
2-another one, by creating folder which contain backup image..
u can collect your friends backup image and put in one folder..
if u want to try, just restore the particular image file using backup/restore option in recovery menu and choose the backup image file..
collection of custom rom backup file for recovery menu:

Hi bro,
Only two calls on your excellent tutorial:
1. No need to put the rom in the root of the sdcard. I, for example, to distinguish the roms, I`ve created a folder "Rom" in the root and put the roms in there.
2. It is not necessary to rename the *. zip file.
When we entered the xRecovery, you can go to "install Custom Zip> zip Choose Custom from sdcard>" Now in my case I a. .. "Roms >........" and I intend to choose

it`s not a different way.
i think that way would be more simple (for me at least) `couse you can have different roms puted on the same directory without, everytime that you want to install one change his name to default.zip
but...great TUT (clap your hands floks)

Install all 3?! Yes you can...if you want you can install WM and iOS
Now mre seriously.
If you want to install 2.1 you have to format sdcard to one partition only. 2.1 doesn't work with more than 1.
Then you can flash...follow this guide to do so

You can use android kitchen to cook custom roms
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
Can someone provide the modified vendor files for kitchen to cook X8 roms ?
If you have a friend who cooked roms before for hero/legend/g1/nexus devices, ask him to cook one for us, this is the fastest way
For those who never cooked a rom, this link might be a start :
http://source.android.com/porting/build_system.html
Cooked rom should use our original 2.6.29 kernel of eclair and our rild libs, rest of system should be prelinked to those files.
Gingerbread (2.3) is available in AOSP repository, there's a very good chance we could have it running before SE release froyo if ever.
I have tried this rom Prime from LG Optimus P500 (same cpu and screen).
Flashed with xRecovery, than before rebooting copied over xRecovery files back to flash (to be able to return to my backup).
To enable "adb logcat" debug, put adb-enable file in /data/property/ directory.
The rom booted, i saw android 2.2 bootscreen, but than it crashed..

3. download the real files for xrecovery in the first page http://www.mediafire.com/?lz6gwgohuakvbfo
4. move extract the files you downloaded to your sdcard
5. Use Root explorer to copy/move the busybox, chargemon ant the xrecovery.tar to system/bin after you done that it should work
Hello, guys!
Sorry for the question, but how can I install xRecovery 2.5 or 2.6, after I've already updated to CM6-1.0.2 with CWM 3? I've read a lot of topics, that say there is need to install an earlier version of xRecovery in order to be able to install .zip applications like themes for example.
I've tried to do it with ROM Manager, it says then I've xRecovery 1.7, 2.4 or another one, and when I choose to reboot in Recovery, Clockworkmod recovery 3 appears again, instead of the version that ROM Manager has reported.
Could you please explain me how to install recovery.img manually step by step or another way to install xRecovery over CWM 3? I've tried also to install it manually by copying chargemon and busybox files in bin folder, but after that the phone can not load the system - a lot of errors appear on boot.
I'll be very thankful to you for your help!
Thanks for the "answers", guys! Over 12 hours of fishsilence, thank you very much! You all are so "helpful" here as like we all are developers and should understand from a few words in your developers' slang!
The answer of my question is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079112
Yes, right here, guys! The xRecovery for the X10 Mini Pro works on the X10 Mini! No need for complex hboots, rom managers or so - simple .apk installation and the CWM 3 turned into 1x xRecovery!
Seems that you don't know that there is a search button into the forum.
One previous page there is a post named CWM2XREC (CW Recovery to Xrecovery)
Simply a update.zip file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111075
You may use the search button or atleast look two or three pages of the local forum.
Anyway the CW supports Xrecovery backup files.
Nope, I know about it, but the problem was I was unable to istall .zip files under CWM 3 for the lack of Edify script in it.

yes you can't flash old .zip with amend script but this one allows you to flash old xrecovery above cwm (i tried myself.)
then you'll be able to flash old .zip but no more the recent with edify scripting

One previous page there is a post named CWM2XREC (CW Recovery to Xrecovery)
Simply a update.zip file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111075
Anyway the CW supports Xrecovery backup files.

xrecovery backups need to be placed in cwm folder to be used
Hey guys, the title might sound misleading that I need tutorial how to flash, but it's not on this case.
So few days ago I installed CWM (I have Unlocked Bootloader Xperia U, already flashed Speedy Droid mod) and I had stock kernel, now I think I would like to get a rom, but a quite a few roms say that I need Munjeni's kernel.
So now I was reading Munjeni's forum post. And I got across this line:
Warning!!! This boot+CWM reguire unlocked bootloader + stock chargemon!!! Do not use modified chargemon or chargemon that is SCRIPT!!! Double check if your /system/bin/chargemon is script or binary file (you can do it by android terminal emulator by command "cat /system/bin/chargemon" if you see clean text lines than its script, if you see unknown characters than you are sure that your chargemon is binary file!!! If chargemon is script do not use our boot+CWM!!! I am not responsible for any damages or data losts if you use custom chargemon!!! If chargemon is binary you can install our boot+CWM but you need to check if system partition in "mount and storage" is mountable and remountable before you going to erase system partition or to perform backups and restores !!! Allso check ps.log in your sdcard after booting recovery, just this CWM is in test stage for Xperia U and you need to be sure that "/system/bin..." processess is not in ps.log !!! Untill we are surre that these processess is not in ps.log and your chargemon is stock than our CWM will be safe!!!

So AFAIK I have Atis112 CWM installed. It has installed a chargemon. So from the post it seems I cannot install Munjeni's Kernel + CWM + Memory Tweak? I know that I can install memory tweak via CWM, but I cannot install Kernel because I don't have the stock chargemon?
Help much appreciated
On your Xperia U you have to delete those files with a root file explorer:
/system/bin/recovery.tar
/system/bin/chargemon
/system/bin/charger
/system/xbin/sh
This is not the most awesome tip on xda, but it may be useful for newbies =)
Want to know how I found that out?
I searched this on google and everybody said that uninstalling clockworkmod is impossible.. THEY WERE WRONG!
On Xperia X8 I had to install XRecovery manually by rooting and CnP-ing files with a root file explorer..
Xperia U CWM installers do the same thing automatically via ADB..
So I thought this: If CnP-ing files installs CWM, then theoretically deleting those files should uninstall CWM..
Then I made a nandroid with CWM (ironically xD), booted to android and deleted those files with Solid Explorer..
Final test: Turned it off, turned it on, pressed volume- continuously and CWM didn't show up, but android booted up with no problems! =D

Don't delete them! Replace them with stock files (On ics you can do that...on jb and other custom roms there is no reason for unistalling it and you can't!) These files are there for a reason!

When you install cwm from atis it will replace some modules (chargemon) which are needed! Try to charge your phone offline when you have it deleted...I doubt it will work

What does atis stand for?
Tried to charge while turned off.. Phone booted to Android automatically and charged.. I'll upload original files for xperia u GB and ICS stock roms as soon as I can!
Thanks for pointing that out.. I didn't realize about that

atis is the user that ported cm9 on locked bootloaders and cwm on lockd bls. Just upload them from ics. Our devices don't have a dedicated recovery partition and that's why those files where used to "pack" cwm!
Sorry for being late.. This is what you have to do to remove recovery ON STOCK ICS
File needed is extracted from 6.1.1.B.1.100, but it may work for other stock ICS compilation
Delete:
/system/bin/recovery.tar
/system/bin/charger
/system/xbin/sh
Download attached file and unzip it. Go into a root file browser (or adb) and replace
/system/bin/chargemon
with the downloaded one!
Procedure FOR STOCK GB is the same as ICS, but using the file attached in THIS post..
File was extracted from stock GB 6.0.B.3.184.. It may work for other GB compilations..
