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.

Ok, after successfully rooting and putting EB01 on my phone, I discovered that when I tried to install zip files from my sd card that I was taken into Samsung recovery (blue). I found out that my CWM was dated, and needed a new one. In looking for the most current version, I installed CWM 3.0.0.8. Now when I attempt to install from SD, I am rebooted into red CWM, but it doesn't like the script, so it aborts installation of whatever ROM I try to install. Update.zip kicks me into CWM 3.0.0.8, and when I try to install from there I get a similar message. I have tried to flash a different CWM through Odin, but nothing changes. I have also tried to use the "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" option, but it tells me "An error occurred while downloading your recovery" regardless of which version I select.
I am running Superclean 2.2 and have Rom Manager v3.0.1.0
I did see a similar thread to this for an HTC Hero phone, and it seemed to indicate the CWM I installed is for Gingerbread. Hoping there might be an easy fix to this I am overlooking so that I don't have to start from scratch. TIA!
It's not JUST for Gingerbread. The scripting language that the newest cwm uses is edify. And the latest cwm doesnt support the older scripting languages that the zip scripts used to be written in. so all the scripts need to be updated to use edify. And they'll work fine. Even on froyo.

Also, the newest version of Superclean (2.7) uses edify, so you should be able to flash that in CWM 3.x

Ok, that makes sense. Is there anything I can do to update the scripts?
I am trying to do the same thing. I want to have a Rom Manager version on my phone that allows me to use the 'install zip from sd card' function in the program and run the scripts correctly.
I have replace the update.zip and update-recovery.zip with th red jt1134 CWM zip, but the latest version of CWM seems to write scripts entirely differently, so it'll get me into recovery and then recovery can't run the scripts. Any idea of how I can go back to a prior version of Rom Manager?

Odin. Here's the page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
Just use manual cwm for now. The ROM Manager is going to fudge it for the time being. I don't trust RM to do a proper wipe before install either. It would be nice to use the RM gui, but its better to just spend a few extra minutes to make sure things get done right.
How do you get into CWM
How do you get into CWM without Rom Manager????

If you already have a super clean rom, just hold your power button to pop up the power down screen. Then select the option for "Recovery".
OR
Turn off phone. While turning it on, hold the power button+up volume+down volume. The Samsung logo will turn on, then turn off. Release the buttons and it will come on again then boot to recovery. Then select the option "update.zip" to launch into CWR.
So far what are the problems with the new CWR recovery 3.0? I want to flash to the newest SCv2.9 but Im reading some iffy comments on it. What are the possible drawbacks and is the only way to get back to CWR 2.5 through Odin? because since I own a mac this is a ***** and a half to do! Can you also run CWR 2.5 on SCv2.9?
Thanks in advance.

I was able to follow the thread by jt that has a simple zip and install with my cwm 3.0.x.
sent from Froyo'd Fascinate!
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?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1102960
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?
Hi,
I have installed the Android GB 2.3.3 in X10i using SE PC companion software 2 days back. phone is working really fast, battery life improved. I have installed X-recovery and rooted my phone after getting the necessary guidance. the phone is rooted now and i can reboot into x-recovery.
I want to install custom ROM by WB-XPERIA TW Gingerbread V4.0.0. I have downloaded and copied the .zip file to my SD card. i rebooted in x-recovery, but when i update the custom.zip, it give me a error
" E: can't mount SD card
Installation aborted
please guide me on this as soon as possible
Regards
Uday
I think that maybe this is caused if you are not using the latest version of x-recovery. Wolf wrote about it at the the start of the thread under the installation instructions. You could try that. Someone else here might be able to advise you better...
Hi,
correct you need a GB ready xRec version. There is an update for the FlashTool which contain this new version.

I already have the latest version of xrecovery 0.3, but still i am getting the same error.
I checked in some of the forums and I heard that we cannot install a custom ROM with rooted android 2.3.3. we need to flash android 2.1 and install this custom ROM which has got the latest kernel and baseband .71. Is that true, can anyone confirm it ?

I recommend flashing back to 2.1, extra step but it's worth it having the clean install.
What I did:
Flash 2.1 in Flashtool
Root 2.1 in Flashtool
Install Xrecovery in Flashtool
Reboot in Xrecovery
Factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Wipe battery stats
Flash GB ROM
Do NOT reboot, remove battery to reset phone
Flash BB .71 in Flashtool
Reboot and ur good to go!
I haven't had any problems since I switched back to WB's new version

I would go with this also if you are having problems. You can get the stock 2.1 ROM if you need it by searching for the Flashtool. The stock ROMs are on the same post (I cant add links here, sorry!).
I'm also on V4 of Wolfbreak ROM and it's the best one i've used so far!
Hi everybody,
Amend Script Problem :
I'm a bit confused about Amend Script, my Xperia x10i is unlocked, i got the Oodie CM7, I've flashed it to change roms many times now ! Today i wanted to change the rom, but i can't because of these script (Amend Script is no longer supported...) I don't know why i've got it, i didn't do anything more than before.
I found many thing about that, a little program to convert to Amend Script, i try it, my recovery said 'Update Complete', but the rom was the same... No change. I also saw many weird things that i didn't understand..
So, what is the best way (with details please ) to restore my phone as before ?
Overclocked Kernel Problem :
I've got another problem about Overcloked Kernel, i can't flash them. When i do it my phone stay at kernel Screen then reboot then stay at kernel Screen etc...
Do you have an idea about that ?
So thanks you, and sorry, my english sucks

Are you using cwm recovery? If so use xrecovery (from flashtool). Also not all phones support overclock (my device may be better than one other but worse than another still). It all depends on tolerances on chipset.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I use xrecovery !
For the overclock maybe it's because I got one of the first X10 !
I just put my phone at original rom and root it again, then i reinstall recovery.
Same thing I can't do anything...
Someone got an idea ?
If you are bootloader-unlocked just flash a stock rom kernel (doomkernel/th-kernel)then you would access to xRecovery.
I can access to xrecovery but i can't flash because of amend script ! (cf first post)
Okay ! So, i found a solution this morning. The problem was the version of the recovery put with the latest Doom Kernel.
I'll share my procedure for all having this problem.
1- Put the Sony Stock Rom 2.3 with Pc companion.
2- Root your phone.
3- Install the 0.3 Recovery via Flashtool.
4- Before installing any rom don't flash the kernel. Keep the stock Kernel.
5- You should be able to flash your rom now, do anything you want but install everything (rom, patch, gapps...).
6- After all of that flash your kernel.
7- Now you have your rom, maybe without Wifi, but you can fix by flashing in the recovery (no need amend script for that).
I hope it can help some of you

You can always just change your kernel from flashtool then flash an other rom. No need in going to pc companion.
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.
