I installed a long time ago a xrecovery using an android app. This xrecovery (Ithink it is the latest...) is still working, but my problem is that xrecovery or CWM are preinstalled with the kernels. So I have now 2 xrecovery...
Some one know how can I remove it? I didn't tried to reinstall the android app to see if there was a uninstall function, because I did not found it (and I was a bit lazy to use the pc for that
Uhhh just like reflash to generic and then redo everything you have done

i would do it this way so you dont break offline charging
delete /system/bin/chargemon
rename /system/bin/charger to chargemon
then delete the /system/xbin/recovery.tar
that will remove it all.

Pvy, I have the same issue. I want to remove xrecovery from my xperia x8, running on stock kernel with stock rom, but I don't see file with name "charger" in system/bin. There is only chargemon!? Then, when I go to system/xbin i don't have recovery.tar either. I saw a file named xrecovery.tar, but it is located in system/bin. Please tell me how to remove xrecovry safely from my phone and how to restore the offline charging. Thanks in advance

OK, I'll give it a try, thanks BTW can I flash CWM via xrecovery by install.zip? Done this way can make xrecovery to disappear and it will be replaced by CWM My final goal is to flash nAa's jb kernel in order to put on Mini CM10. That's why I desperately need to remove xrecovery in order to install CWM.

You can use android kitchen to cook custom roms
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
Can someone provide the modified vendor files for kitchen to cook X8 roms ?
If you have a friend who cooked roms before for hero/legend/g1/nexus devices, ask him to cook one for us, this is the fastest way
For those who never cooked a rom, this link might be a start :
http://source.android.com/porting/build_system.html
Cooked rom should use our original 2.6.29 kernel of eclair and our rild libs, rest of system should be prelinked to those files.
Gingerbread (2.3) is available in AOSP repository, there's a very good chance we could have it running before SE release froyo if ever.
I have tried this rom Prime from LG Optimus P500 (same cpu and screen).
Flashed with xRecovery, than before rebooting copied over xRecovery files back to flash (to be able to return to my backup).
To enable "adb logcat" debug, put adb-enable file in /data/property/ directory.
The rom booted, i saw android 2.2 bootscreen, but than it crashed..

did you install busybox from busyboxinstaller?
because you didnt mention it...
Use this: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4VZEIYUI
Its a CWM Recovery. I use this recovery on stock rom.
Just unrar those three files to your sdcard, and copy to /system/bin with Root Explorer.

Why would someone copy-cut-paste files in Recovery instead via regular File Manager or on their PC/Mac/whatever?

Well its much more simple if you cant boot to system than via adb for example if you just tested init script and phone does not boot you wont need to reinstall rom when you can simply use file manager to delete it.
go into settings and use the alternate calibration for touch..
it improves, but fine tune is needed..
And,comes another guide from me.... I was actually extracting a stock firmware and this came into my mind
Ok,I made this guide since the process of extracting firmware is a bit confusing sometimes.So,lets start with it
What you would need:
1.7zip or any other zip utility
2.Stock Firmware
3.MagicISO
4.Nothing else
Tutorial:
1.Start off by downloading a stock firmware,for this guide,we assume its DDKQ8
2.You will get 2 files, S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar.md5 and SS_DL.dll
3.Ignore the second file,we only need the first file which has an extension of .md5
4.Now its not possible to extract the file with the current extension.
5.So,rename the file S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar.md5 to S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar
6.Now,the file is extractable,so extract it.
7.You will get approx. 9 files: arm11 boot,amss,csc.rfs and various others.
8.Delete all the files except boot.img and system.rfs.These are the only files we need.
9.Now,using MagicISO,open up system.rfs and extract it.
10.Make a new folder named Rom_working
11.Now,move the boot.img there
12.Make a folder called system
13.Move all contents of system.rfs to this this folder.
14.Now all you need is a META-INF folder to complete the rom.(Unless you messed up)
Thats it! Pretty easy huh,this is something really basic,but a few people get confused on extracting it anyway.Its just meant to be a basic guides for those people.If you want to get more info on making a rom,refer this guide which i wrote a few months ago.Hope this helped you guys out.
NOTE: I am not responsible if you mess up your phone or w/e happens to it.Btw,<bla bla> stands for the rest of the filename
thanks for that,, i was woundering how it was done,, i ended up using a nandroid backup with kitchen to make my own lol

On your Xperia U you have to delete those files with a root file explorer:
/system/bin/recovery.tar
/system/bin/chargemon
/system/bin/charger
/system/xbin/sh
This is not the most awesome tip on xda, but it may be useful for newbies =)
Want to know how I found that out?
I searched this on google and everybody said that uninstalling clockworkmod is impossible.. THEY WERE WRONG!
On Xperia X8 I had to install XRecovery manually by rooting and CnP-ing files with a root file explorer..
Xperia U CWM installers do the same thing automatically via ADB..
So I thought this: If CnP-ing files installs CWM, then theoretically deleting those files should uninstall CWM..
Then I made a nandroid with CWM (ironically xD), booted to android and deleted those files with Solid Explorer..
Final test: Turned it off, turned it on, pressed volume- continuously and CWM didn't show up, but android booted up with no problems! =D

atis is the user that ported cm9 on locked bootloaders and cwm on lockd bls. Just upload them from ics. Our devices don't have a dedicated recovery partition and that's why those files where used to "pack" cwm!
Sorry for being late.. This is what you have to do to remove recovery ON STOCK ICS
File needed is extracted from 6.1.1.B.1.100, but it may work for other stock ICS compilation
Delete:
/system/bin/recovery.tar
/system/bin/charger
/system/xbin/sh
Download attached file and unzip it. Go into a root file browser (or adb) and replace
/system/bin/chargemon
with the downloaded one!
Procedure FOR STOCK GB is the same as ICS, but using the file attached in THIS post..
File was extracted from stock GB 6.0.B.3.184.. It may work for other GB compilations..
