diference betwween xrecovery and cwm recovery - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

i've install xrecovery for mini not pro
i've want to install some roms but it wants cwm recovery can i use xrecovery instead of cwm
sorry for my ****kin eng

xrecovery is the old s/w and cwm is the updated and newer version so it basically replaces the xrecovery.
it is much powerful and has more options to use. even the devs can write scripts for it so it is much easier for them too.
are you having problems with cwm that you are using xrec? maybe someone with that knowledge can help you sort that out.
i use cwm and it is absolutely easy to use.

Tim

[Q]Journey to optimal 2.2 - (Am I missing anything?)

If it matters I've got a sony ericsson X10i from AT&T (North America)
already rooted, using a stock 2.1 rom with .54 baseband.
I want to switch over to 2.2 and fully optimize my device.
This is the procedure I believe I need to go through.
Please tell me if I am missing any steps.
1-Use flash tool to install latest baseband (.55 right? I would appreciate a link to this)
2-Reroot?
3-Install Busy Box and SuperUser Access
4-Install Xrecovery using flash tool?? (would appreciate link)
5-Install "TMR_CM_6.1.3_DesireX10"
6-install dual touch
7-install JIT (Is there a guide to do this for 2.2?)
8-install App2sd (Is there a guide to do this for 2.2?)
So am I missing anything?
dont worry bout the baseband all you need to do is root it (if not yet rooted) install xrecovery, move TMR .zip to your sd card open xrecovery on phone back up rom if you want factory reset wide dalvik cache wipe cache and install custom zip then boot thats it.
might want to install gapps afterwards.
if you already have BB .54 it will keep dual touch and jitm busy boxm xrecovery etc are already included in the rom.
i'm not sure bout the app2sd thing
Use recovery to install, don't use flash tool. Most ROM are released for installing via recovery.
6-install dual touch
7-install JIT (Is there a guide to do this for 2.2?)
8-install App2sd (Is there a guide to do this for 2.2?)
All is included in 2.2
There`s a big confusion here.
1. You don`t need to flash with latest .55 baseband unless you want to. You can find baseband HERE;
2. If you already have root and xRecovery, just install your desired rom directly through xRecovery. ROM
3. If you don`t have xRecovery or others go HERE, download Flashtool and install. If you have ANY dough go HERE to see how FT work.
4. You won`t need to install ANYTHING after. All these ROM/MOD came with all that pre-installed (root, xRecovery, JIT, app2sd, dual toutch, blá, blá, blá)
Period!
Don`t confuse the man. Don`t talk about you don`t really know!!!
Cheers,
Rendeiro
i think z has released an apk for the xRecovery installer.
all you do is to install the apk, then run it.
you'll find the install xRecovery button in that app.

SE X10 mini Pro Android Install 2.2 or 2.3

Hi All,
I wanted to ask whether one can help me where and how can I install Android Froyo 2.2 or Ginger Bread 2.3. Because I can not and does not know English so well that works out of the 100%. It would be nice if you can help me.
Thanks in advance.
First of all you need to root your phone. Then install xRecovery or ClockWorkMod Recovery (recommended) and then put the room in your sd card and flash it with either xRecovery or CWM Recovery. NOTE that the roms are targeted to one of these two recoveries.
Just look up the tutorials, since we can help you only in english (or at least we have to provide bilingual posts with english and language X), you can read these tutorials. What ist important: You have to _always_ know what you are doing, this is even more important when you are working in your filesystem. Screwing files up, could mean that you have to use SEUS to unbrick your phone.
But here are some steps.
First root your phone with SuperOneClick.
Download a BusyBox installer rom the market and install BusyBox
Get somehow root explorer (or any other explorer that can mount your /system as R/W)
Then look for the xRecovery installer vom slade87 or D4rk.
(You can go into recovery with pressing Back while the SE logo appears)
Install xRecovery with the provided steps.
Now you have to make your choice:
CM7 14.5 (Gingerbread) could as far as i know only be flashed with xRecovery, but i recommend flashing a nice Froyo rom (FroyoComb or Cyanogen Froyo, they both based on the same ROM but i prefer FroyoComb. Basically they are the same). For flashing them you need ClockWorkMod recovery (which will be used in future anyways, cause you cant brick your phone with it).
Go to the thread of ClockWorkMod and download the file. You have to install it manually, so lock at the permissions of the files you replace. When youve done all correct your recovery screen will be yellow. And now you can flash a custom zip. FroyoComb or Cyanogen Froyo, your choice.
Hope this was helpfull

You could also use the xrecovery apk for quick install, as long as you know how to work with it.

thanks to all for now.
It is this: the X10 Pro I have been rooted with SuperOneClick.
I also have the Xrecovery as the BusyBox Insatlliert.
But how do I install the: Cyanogen Froyo CM6-Latest (based on MiniCM)
- Release v5.0 Final reuploaded?
I've read that you install it through Xrecovery or CWM must, as
because it works?

The easiest way to install CWM on Stock Rom for Mini Pro

1. First you need to root your phone. The easiest way is by using Superoneclick:Superoneclick
2. Then you need to install xRecovery because CWM cannot be instaled on Stock Rom( I tried but with no success). You can use this: AIO Automatic Instalation Script
3. After that download this package:cwmr3_xrecinstall and put it into SD card
Boot into xRecovery and instal this custom zip.
This is how i did it and get CWM for STOCK ROM
I can't install(or run) xRecovery on my Stock rom,
The device is already Rooted with SuperOneClick, and have a root file manager, installed busybox, terminal and the AIO script, but isn't work, just install the dualtouch driver, the JIT but it says the xRecovery is installed as well, but when I reboot the phone and try to enter in recovery just turn on normaly.. I don't understand what happen.. any idea??
I did this 4 times this weekend while testing stock ROM again on my Mini Pro:
Root with SuperOneClick.
Busybox from market (with Busybox Installer).
AAIS from [Updated]AIO Automatic Installation Script For X10 Mini/Mini Pro-Firmware 2.1.1.A.0.6
Install XRecovery from AAIS.
Install CyanoComb (the version I still had in SD) that comes with CWM, reboot in CWM.
Install whatever ROM you like using CWM
Hehe you guys must have missed something.. I have done like 4 resetts with seus on 2 days..
Root then aais to install cwm and that worked for me directly.. No probs here..

[Q] CWM recovery is it needed

ok so i want to put this custom rom on my device but it says i need xrecovery and CWM recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109563 do i really need both, i already have xrecovery and dont want to put CWM on if i dont have to.
No. You do not need both. You can use whichever one you prefer.
You CWM... I havent tried xrecovery but i love CWM. Its a must have imo!!!
Not both are needed. One or the other should do the job sufficiently. IMO, I prefer Clockwork

[Q] CWM Recovery on my X10

Ok, I am going to list my problem/query along with information i have gathered over the best part of 3 hours.
So, I have been doing some research regarding CWM recovery to be installed on my x10. I have already rooted and BLU my x10 and every thread I have read says that CWM is the most simplest way to put customised ROMs onto my phone. RecoverX, both PC and APK version, has been suggested several times accross XDA and other forums as the program to use to instal CWM. This is not the case as it only offers xRecovery, which although says it is installed succesfully, doesnt work. I also read that Rom Manager APK by clockworkmod would do it but it says that x10 is unsupported. But it does ask if it have installed a clockwork based mod manually.
Does anyone here at XDA know how I can get it installed?
I am currently running android 2.3.3 and was trying to get it upgraded to the MIUI ICS for X10 as seen in this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774623
Cheers, any help or advice would be appreciated.
Just install FeraKernel v18.4 or DoomKernel v6, both of which have CWM built in.
FeraKernel has a later date CWM version.
If you install an old version of Flashtool cira 0.8.6, it came with CWM Recovery and xRecovery which could be installed from Flashtool menus.
Before you flash FeraKernel or DoomKernel, have the ROM zip you wish to install with CWM on the X10 while it's running GB 2.3.3
This way when FeraKernel or DoomKernel are flashed to get access to CWM, you don't have to worry about WiFi and Graphics drivers as you already have your ROM on the phone and ready to go and just need to tap the volume up button to access CWM as the Kernel boots for the first time.
Enjoy.

Well I can't seem to find the old version of flashtool 0.8.6.0 nor doomkernel v6. The doom kernels keep referring me to broken links or hotfile which has been taken down. The ferakernel 18.4 seem to crash while being flash thus aborting the whole process. Was wandering if you have the older doomkernel or flashtool lying around or anyone who does who could do a fresh upload link please?
Thanks
Solved!
Finally got this sorted. After about 4 ours of trailing through the net. I found a 0.8.0.0 version of flashtool and an update to 0.8.6.0. If anyone is need of these files to get CWM recovery for X10 do let me know. Happy Chappy now. Thank you Dr Goodvibes.
You're welcome.
