I'm using x10 mini currently running on minicm 1.0.1 (Its clear that my phone is rooted and runs custom roms).
Now i wanted to switch to ClockworkMod Recovery over xRecovery.
The cook of minicm rom incorporates with CWM and has given an attachment of cwm telling to flash it with xrecovery. I'm unable to understand the process of flashing - whether to go into update.zip or custom.zip from top of xrecovey menu.
Please anyone suggest small guide to help me out!
Thank you.
EDIT: I flashed the cwm.zip with custom.zip ->Install custom.zip from sdcard from xrec menu And it worked !
I was just geting too serious .
Thank you everyone for helping me !
You can use Snoopo's installer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14479740&postcount=75
or U can use xRec zip to change it into CWM, if U want it I can provide U a link

DON'T FORGET TO TAKE A BACKUP via xRecovery!!!
Make sure you have the correct baseband number and kernel version (I mean, meet all the requariments the ROM asks) with the ROM you want to install.
If you have any other problems, pm me and I'll guide you exactly form the point you stuck.

well before installing custom ROM all you have to do is
1. reboot to xrecovery
2. in the advanced options, wipe dalvik-cache and battery stats
3. press back button
4. wipe cache
5. install custom zip > install custom zip from sdcard
6. look for slades minicm6 file and apply.
make sure you have the correct baseband, kernel version so you'll not be having problems

i have same problem, but somehow, CWM does not allow me to update... It says "Amend scripting is not supported." Some help?
Update your CWM using CWM Installer and then try to update the ROM again.

[How-To] Running FXP, FXP Miui & Miui Prime on Locked BL (xRecovery / Free Kernel)
Following my FXP Port, I'm expanding the idea so that more people can enjoy these excellent roms on locked bootloader as well.
I have tested the method to work fine on FXP046, Oodie Miui Prime 004 and FXP Miui 1.4. It should work on subsequent builds unless there are major changes by the rom developer. It may work on other roms that are FXP based (but I have not tested)
Credits:
1. Z & J, Doomlord & azuzu - for too many things to mention
2. FXP, Oodie, Crowds - for the excellent roms
3. Tkymgr aka Goro - for the kernel I use as base.
4. Me - for putting these together
Instructions:
1. Do a backup before you proceed.
2. Download LockedBL.zip and copy it to SD Card: http://www.multiupload.com/1FI3RBPCOF
You need to install my modded kernel that comes with CWM5 first
- do steps 3 & 4 if your current rom is running on stock kernel or standard custom kernels
- skip steps 3 & 4 if you are currently running my Miui or FXP Port
3. Download CWM5.zip here: http://www.multiupload.com/9C0LAWAVJW
4. Flash it with xRecovery
5. Reboot and press [Back] key when "Xperia" logo appears, you should get into CWM5
6. Install the rom (FXP, FXP Miui or Miui Prime)
7. Install LockedBL.zip
8. Reboot and enjoy the rom
The rom will run on my modded Free Kernel 4.05.4 and support dual recoveries.
- To get into xRecovery, press [Back] key when SE logo appears
- To get into CWM5, press [Back] key when "Xperia" logo appears
thanks man,
now,we can play more

Depend on which one you use. Original one use cwm5. I'll usually convert it to xRec version.

1. Phone won't get bootloader unlocked when you do this .
2. Kernel is included in CWM5.zip , just flash it via xrec .
& Finally - The steps are clear enough , so no need to guide you again .Read the OP well

Did you install LockedBL.zip (via CWM5) immediately after installing prime4.2?
Hi,
guys i have been reading a lot so that i could try to get a clear answers but i am still a bit confused.
I have successfully rooted my X10 min pro having stock rom 2.1 update 1 and also i have used the flash tool to install xrecovery. I am trying to install the Mini CM7 Pro v 21 and i read that i need CWM4 for it. So i wanted to know does that mean i can't install with Xrec?
Also if i have to install CWM how do i do that since i must clearly say that there is too much information that i have gone through and really it is not making too much sense.
so can anyone please give me a clearer idea on installing the CM7 on my X10 min pro.
Thank You

1-U have to find and download (latest CWM.zip)
2-Move the xxx.zip to sdcard (root directory) (don put in any folder)
3-boot into xrecovery
4-sellect install from sdcard
5-choose your xxx.zip (on step 1)
or u can try this
1-find any custom room which one can install using xrecovey BUT!!
the custom room must be dual recovery preinstall (Xrecovery and CWM)
2-Now u already hace CWM recovery now you can install what ever rom U liked
To install MiniCM7 Pro v 21, you must have the CWM and not required cwm 4.
to install cwm, see here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257701

Thanks but i have already installed xrecovery through the flash tool,so you are telling me i have to install CWM to install v21? I am asking because nelikp didn't talk anything abt CWM.
I want to know since i have installed xrecovery can i still use this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257701
to install CWM?
Will i do any harm if i install CWM as given in the above thread?
EDIT: I hope there is no problem installing CM7 v21 in X10 mini pro
You can install CWM with teh CWM Installer (from the Thread you posted above).
Then you can boot into CWM and install MiniCM7 pro V21. Read and follow the instructions in first post of the MiniCM7 pro thread and you will be happy about the fantastic ROM.
Hi Adi,
I've installed MiniCM7 Pro v21 with XRecovery for my X10 MP and it's works just fine. I haven't found any problem until now.
And delete these apps before install the rom if you don't need it
DSP Manager
Gmail
Google Maps
Latitude
FOTA KILL (GOOGLE OVER THE AIR UPDATES)
Pico TTS (text to speech program/interface)
Voice Dial
Voice Search
Fotakill -prevents- over the air updates. I'd keep it unless you want an incompatible update killing your system ;-)

Thanks for the confirmation but i was confident enough and installed CWM 3 r5 and it is working on my mini pro, i just need some time to install the OS. i didn't know that CM7 had gmail in it. I though we need to flash teh gapps after installing CM. i usually don't use too much apps, any way can anybody please point me on how to save app2SD guide since i have gone through many and they are making a little bit sense but still not clear. Also there is a option of partition in CWM itself can i use it?
Edit Wanted to know can i use my stock kernel to install a custom ROM,since i looked at Zombiepack kernel and it rquires unlocking bootloader which seriously i am not confident doing since i am not able to understand clearly

You can install the ROM MiniCM7 Pro v 21 and GintonicSE v2.5.1 (with modules) in the stock kernel. custom ROMs have natife app2sd and don't need second partission, I use Pro v21 MiniCM7 and existing Gmail.
Sorry for my bad English
Thanks a lot for confirming i will try first MiniCM pro then Gintonic one's i know what i am doing.
I root my phone and i am looking for some ROM.. but i have xrecovery.. almost every ROM need CWM but i have xrecovery,,
Question is : is there any custom ROM which i can istal with xrecovery?? and if not how can i replace xrecovery with CWM???:crying::crying::crying:
thank you!
Use ClockckworkMod. xRecovery is very, very outdated and uses older script method. Now every ROM use edify instead of amend and CWM supports edify, xRecovery doesn't.

Download this, copy it to your sd-card and install with xrecovery, it will give you CWM.
