[Q]Error with Xrecovery on every zip - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm Newb here.
I tried and search before posting, I just don't get it.
XRecovery gives error E:can't open "***.zip" (bad) That kind of thing
happens with every zip then it make the zip archive corrupt.

are you sure? with every zip file? Try redownloading the zip files

Just a thought...
Are you using xrecovery 1.0.0? Many zips still use the old "amend" style scripting, but xrecovery 1.0.0 only supports the new "edify" scripting style. Xrecovery 0.3 and below support "amend" so you could try your zips with 0.3 and hope for the best
Failing that, it might be a corrupt zip, try redownloading it.

[Q] is xrecover a one time install?

Hi,
is xrecover a one time install thing?
I installed xrecover and installed the generic rom.
when i boot the phone i can still get into xrecover.
do I still need install xrecovery (putting in the 3 files) and the update.zip after a new flash?
or once i have xrecovery, i have it forever?
thanks
no you'll need to copy the 3 files after each flash!
i dont know what update.zip you mean coz to install xrecovery you only have to copy the 3 files
oh ok. thanks!
update.zip was part of flashing rom. i thought it was part of xrecovery.
thanks!
Read the details of the update. Zip. If it said that it include xrecovery, then you don't need to copy those 3 files again

Xrecovery problem

When ever i try to install arc rom or Bitsnacker.Honeycombarc.
It says:
Opening update package
Installing update...
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported
Amend scripting was deprecated by google in Android 1.5
Please switch to Edify scripting (Update-script and update-binary) to create working update zip package
Installation aborted
I don't know what thats means.
I have fixed that problem,but i like to know that i have install one rom like Eclair Bitsnacker.com v2.6,How can i install arc rom do i have to flash my x10 again or i can just install it via xrecovery.
Google amend to edify converter, remember seeing it somewhere in android.modaco.com
Xrecovery 1.0 does not support amend scripting which was used to pack the Roms
Either use the converter or use the previous xrecovery

Hey, sry for intruding to this thread, but i got same problem. I installed xrecovery 1.0 on my freex10b4 and i cant install my favoured theme or anything now through xrecovery.
Is there any way to downgrade xrecovery back to 0.3 without breaking my system and how should i do this? Any help is really welcomed.
And i tried to convert my theme zip file with MoDaCo converter, doesnt give me error message, but doesnt apply theme too.

[Q] Can't install any rom..

bb is .67 and its official SE rom 2.1.. and phone is rooted, busybox installed and xrecovery installed too. Backuppin and restoring works.
Works now. Unistalled 1.00 xrecovery and installed 0.3 xrecovery and now works zips.
Why there in xrecovery topic isn't download link for 0.3? I found download link with a google..
Well I guess you are using xrecovery 1.0, try revert back to 0.3.

[Q] How to install xRecovery over CMW 3?

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
