how will i uninstall cmw on my x10 mini pro? i can find tutorials on how to install them but not uninstall.
the thing is, i really need to install xrecovery to flash images with xrecovery requirement. do i need to uninstall cmw first? or is there a workaround here?
thanks i've been experimenting on different roms here and they're all great but i need to know which is perfect for me
(and please tell me if im misunderstanding things here)
If I were you, the only thing I would be to install MiniCM7 and nAa kernel.

wow i was away for a long time! anyway thanks for the info. i read your thread already. i was just wondering if i really need to use it. i have backed up my original rom before i installed cfw for the first time, so whenever i feel i need to return i just recover the old rom. and also my baseband ends with 015.
do i still need it? or recovering my backed up orig rom is fine? thanks again!

Hello All,
Me being a noob, I wanted to know what happen when I update a rooted phone. Am I going to keep all the programs and settings that I have? or everything is going to get erased and its going to be like I got a new phone and need to reinstall all the programs and settings? Or that everything is going to be kept, but will not work until the new update can be rooted, and when it is re-rooted, everything is going to be back to normal? I was thinking about the effectiveness of using the titanium backup if I'm going to update the phone and that the program needs root permission to work. Thanks for the help!
make a backup?
re-root.
What should i use to.make backup?? Titanium backup? But i thought that program needs root to work
use default program to backup, ''backup and restore''
oh no... i uninstalled that..... anyways I can get it back?

if you have a rooted phone already just install Xrecovery by Z, search for it. that way you can just reboot when you see sony ericsson white letters, hit back button 11 times it will give you a bootscreen where you can do a backup. After you backup then you can update to a newer version if you choose too. once you update to a newer version, you then go back to xrecovery choose backup restore then advanced restore then select just the data folder it should restore all your apps etc..

I just installed xRecovery Installer... and when I go into the xrecovery installer icon, and press install xrecovery, my phone asked for root rights, and after I give permission nothing happened... Is there going to be a new icon for xrecovery or its just a program that runs in the background and will not add an extra icon? Thanks!

When I update to a new version, my Xrecovery wont work until I root that new version too right? So the procedure should be update -> root -> then restore? I dont need to reinstall xrecovery or something right?? Thanks

Will re-installing xrecovery after the update have any effect on the backup I did prior to the update? Wont the update delete my previous xrecovery and hence my backups? Sorry to bombard with questions, but I just need to make sure that I know what I'm doing. Thanks!

No, it will not have an affect on your backup because that is stored in the Sdcard. So you should be good.

Hi all,
This is my first post and my first thread, so please don't flame at me.
Well I want to run FreeX10 BETA 4 and the Android Generic FW 2.1 at the same time. I have had a look around, and it seems like that it is possible but I'm having trouble.
If anyone wants to help me, please PM me for my MSN, or post below.

Hello -
Did you figure out how to do this?
Thanks.
What you would do is make a backup of both roms in xrecovery, and then you would just restore whichever backup you wanted to use at that time!
So can I say -
1) Root my current 2.1 Eclair
2) Install XRecovery
3) Backup current 2.1 via XRecovery
4) Install Custom ROM 2.2
5) Backup 2.2 via XRecovery
Now you have two backups and you can switch between 2.1 and 2.2 via XRecovery Restore option. Is this correct?
Thanks.

Yes, you can switch between them.. But it's not really dual boot.. Wouldn't it be a bit time consuming to do the reinstall of the fw each time you want to switch?

If if and only if 5 minutes is time consuming. Cause that's seriously about how long it takes to switch.
And also to the OP. Remember that you want both of them set up exactly how you want them and don't change it because unless you make a new backup, what you add or change in between wont stay when you restore.

Guys I need some help hopefully you can clear some questions I got.
If I do a a full system wipe with xrecovery, dalvik cache and battery stats.
Is it going to delete a previously saved backup?
cause Im trying to install froyo on my x10 and already got a full system backup of my 2.1 using xrecovery but im not sure if I got the correct steps to do it.
What Im trying to do basically is get 2 backups to switch between em when needed.
when you do a backup its storred in sdcard under /sdcard/xrecovery(recovery)/backup/<date based name>
also wiping all stat and /data /cache will clear all your ROM related data from your phone.
So basically wich steps would be the correct ones to follow in order to get 2 backups so I can switch between when needed,without bricking my phone?
you won't brick your phone
i don't know why you bother, its gonna take 5 min for each changeover, and assuming you'll make no progress in between each change, but then, no you don't need to wipe anything. Sigh, here are the steps: Just back up and then install, then back up that one, and then restore which ever you need. Also, just to make sure, your backups are located under sdcard/xrecovery/backup . So you don't screw up the md5 check, if your gonna rename it, don't put any spaces.

I want to Flash the CM 6.1.3 V4.5.7 on my X10,
never flashed any rom before, so I want to know is there any brick proof and foolproof Guide for it ?
I read many threads, but still confused,
Can I flash it using Flash Tool 0.2.8 (thats the cool tool i found)
any Help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks.
No, only with xrecovery!
So:
1. Update with SEUS (SonyEricssonUpdateService) --> Every data on mobile gets erased except sd-card - same after xrecovery
2. Use FlashTool to root + install xrecovery
3. Follow instructions on 1st page of CM6.1.3 dev threat
already done to your 2nd instruction (xrecovery)
seems like, I am on my own ...lol
Thanks anyways ..
Are you rooted with xRecovery installed? You can flash the CM6.1.3 v4.5.7 in xRecovery after rooting.
Make sure your baseband is either 54, 55 or 58.
1. Place the CM6.1.3 v4.5, 4.5.7-update zip files on your sdcard and reboot phone.
2. When the SE creen shows up, press the back button and it shall boot in xRecovery.
3. Make a backup in xRecovery.
4. Then make a full factory wipe.
5. Then wipe cache.
6. Then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache and then wipe battery stats.
7. Then go to install custom zip and choose the CM6.1.3-V4.5.zip on your sdcard.
8. Then again go to install custom zip and choose the CMUpdate 4.5.7.zip from your sdcard.
9. Reboot in xRecovery.
I am also a noob, not even rooted yet D:
Am I right in thinking that I follow this guide (The stickied flash tool guide):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Do everything there, then install xRecovery? (If so, is there a link or guide for this anywhere?)
I think I understand everything past that..
Just incase I make a complete balls-up of this, can I return back to what I currently have, relatively easy, provided I made a backup in xRecovery?
Thanks
You can use flashtool or superoneclick to root.
Then install xRecovery.
Here is a thread on how to root using superoneclick:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Ok, so my phone is rooted with SuperOneClick.
Trying to do the xRecovery procedure, but I don't really feel like buying the app, when I don't have 100% faith in what I'm doing is right, so I'm trying the manual method.
I also downloaded a free alternative to root explorer, so I'm using that.
When it tells me to copy the 3 files to '/system/bin' folder, where is this located? I can't find this when browsing through my phone files on my computer..
Also, the BusyBox app just searches for BusyBox and then FC's?
Soory for being a noob ):
Make sure that the busybox installer has got superuser permissions. xRecovery needs busybox to be installed.
errrrr, and how do I do that? haha
Appologies! I can't find noob-friendly info anywhere ):

Got the busybox and xRecovery installed then ?
I would love to say I have, but whenever I try to copy the appropriate xRecovery files into system/bin/ I get the error message 'Not enough space'
Any ideas?
EDIT: and then I discover they are allready there.. ¬¬
DAMN I feel like such an idiot doing this haha
Why are you copying xRecovery files onto /system/bin/ ?
... Just install the xRecovery apk file
I don't know ): I was just following what this thread was saying:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
hahaha, but anyway, I've got that installed now.
So now I drop the CM 6.1.3 files into the root of my SDCard, right? Not sure what it means by 'the root' of my SDCard, Im assuming it mean's i Just put it straight on there, not in any folders or anything?

Yeah... or you can also put it into some folder to make it organised. Make sure to make a backup in xRecovery before flashing the CM 6.1.3 ROM.

Sorry for double post, but, 2 last quick questions:
1. When 'flashing' things to my phone, is that the same process I used putting the customROM on? (Selecting a custom ZIP file from xRecovery) Or is it done in an entirely different manner? I ask because I want to install some of the extras listed on the mod page.
2. Is it pretty simple and straight-forward to restore my data from my stockphone if I need/want to?
Thanks again!
This guide has detailed steps for installing custom ROM

p.s. for update v4.5.7, follow the steps to install v4.5 then flash the update files after you are done.

Yeah... flashing is done in the same way as installing the custom zips in xrecovery.
At any given time you can revert back to your old ROM whose backup you created in xrecovery. It will he exactly as it was before you flashed the new ROM.
To restore data you need to backup data using anorher software, typically 'titanium backup'. Its very easy to restore apps using this app.

If i understand correctly, u have to backup your phone with xrecovery to be able to restore to the factory reset.

Flash fresh your phone with SEUS. Root it with FlashTool, ask Root Permissions with FlashTool, install xRecovery with FlashTool, backup your phone with xRecovery, go to 'xrecovery' folder, find your backup folder, take the 'system.img' file from it and put it in dsixda's kitchen folder ('original_update' folder). The kitchen recognizes this. Use it to make YOUR ROM! ;-)

Yes, xRecovery will be already installed and your ROM will be pre-rooted since all those were done before you backed up your system. xRecovery is installed under system folder, as well as root. So, the answer is yes. ;-)
IMPORTANT!
Use update-script (Amend), which means your ROM will be installed with xRecovery or you will be in stuck in bootloop. But, if you are advanced cooker, use updater-script (Edify), which is used by ClockWorkMod Recovery and edit the script manually, because kitchen cannot convert the script properly.

Thank you again, I'm not at all advanced, I'm trying to get all the necessary information, this will be my first attempt.
But i do not use clockworkmod recovery (I have installed xrecovery, do you think the cwm is better?) and I noticed that the dsixda's Android Kitchen has a 'Check update-script for errors' but I do not think that it is what you are meaning...

You are welcome! xD
No, that's not what I meant. This check won't be 100% perfect. Kitchen says this check, won't prevent all errors. Also, xRecovery is more lightweight, but CWM is only to extend some features (such as ext3 backup, mounts, encryption and multiboot) and give more style to installtion. That's it. Since I am not advanced too, I use xRecovery for my personal ROMs. Later, when I get advanced, I'll think of learning updater-script. Now I am trying porting, but I still fail... I need more testings... You can be really helped from google or by the masters (developers), but don't piss them off! xP
Warning!
If you are cooking the original SE rom, do not remove 'backup and restore' at all costs. If you do, you won't be able to unlock your sim card. And also, don't remove gapps (google.apps.apk) or you won't be able to download from market. I did those mistakes, that's why I warn you. Have fun! ;-)

CWM is the recovery on your phone, used for flashing ROMs, clearing cache and various other advanced features.
Superuser is used to allow or deny a given app ROOT access, and also to keep a log of when those privelages have been granted.

Yeah mate all explained.One of the things that you need to know about the CWM app is that it has the function to make a nandroid backup.This is a backup of your complete firmware as it is now on your phone,contacts,kernel,apps,everything.What this does is makes a backup for you to use if something ever went wrong while doing a flash then all you need to do is enter into revcovery mode and restore the backup and your will be exactly as it is right now.I suggest you do one to have a backup handy.Never know when you might need one.You can delete and create new ones as you go.
1.Open CWM app (give it permissions of course)
2.Select "Backup"
3..Select "Accept"
4..Select,if asked, "int.SD" (this is your internalSD.Sometimes externalSD backups dont register when you need them)
Now it will do a backup and you can reopen the CWM app and see it by selecting Delete or Restore.As you go collecting more apps and so on you can delete and create new ones.If for some reason your phone blows out you can restore the latest backup made by entering in CWM app or if you have done something really bad then by holding Volume up+Home+Power to enter into recovery mode.A good app to download now is Titanium backup.It also backs up all apps and data so if you ever flash a ROM you can pass the apps+data to the new ROM.
Before installing Titanium install busybox.Dont forget to give these apps root permission.Install from market,open and install only busybox.The Apps no.

Titanium is good because you can uninstall system app from your carrier that you dont want that annoy you
