I'm having trouble accessing xrecovery on my phone. I have the latest version of busybox and the latest xrecovery too. I flashed a custom kernel from zdzihu and ever since I can't access it. Anybody got any ideas to fix this?

I had the exact problem earlier this week after installing a custom kernel. There is a way to reinstall xrecovery without using flashtool. It basically involves moving the files from xrecovery.zip to the correct system/ files.
Go into the development forum and look for the xrecovery thread. Someone has upload the correct files on the last couple of pages bin.zip and xbin.zip. You simply move(overwrite) the two file contained in bin.zip to the system/bin folder...then move(overwrite) the two files contained in xbin.zip to the system/xbin folder..
Thanks it worked =)

U may be able to install xrec as a zip with root explorer. You'd have to place it in right place I'm system somewhere and set permissions for it manually (not sure how to do this but a member called Milton.bain has dome it few times try asking him for help)

Should work as it is with Nightelf's RC2, right? [pretty sure, it would, but still]
There's no reason why not, but if you've nightelf kernel you have recovery to flash the zip for root, which is certainly quicker.

I already have the official ICS kernel which I flashed yesterday ! Will that work with this zip file ??

Ok so we know we can root with flashing or hotbooting a custom kernel, this is for those pesky network crippled handsets with no fastboot.
prerequisits
working rom with clockwork mod
flashtool
Download This folder
http://min.us/mq5bOi0IX
extract the ics nandroid to your sd card (sdcard/clockworkmod/backup)
place the ftf in flashtool/firmwares on your pc
reboot to recovery and restore the nandroid, this will wipe your data, use advanced restore, system only if you wish to preserve, although its better practice to wipe data especially in version jumps.
when complete power off the phone, read that again power of the phone, do not reboot you will get a boot loop.
now open flashtool on your pc, click the lightning symbol select flashmode, select the ftf for ics kernel, follow the instructions on screen to flash the kernel.
all done you should now boot to a prerooted ics.

I have reverted back to .42 after flashed it to Sony Nordic ICS.
I have one question, when you say "extract ICS nandroid to sdcard", from where can I get nandroid backup? I never have one... (I am noob on nandroid stuff, but know CWM recovery )
I downloaded K15, restored on .42 with recovery... applied Neo V patch, switched off from recovery, started Flashtool with ICS kernel & flashed it immediately.
But when I restart, it does not boot beyoned "Sony" logo, I waited for 10-15 min.
My first suspect is K15 does not support "stock kernel", can anybody know any ROM compatible with "Stock Kernel" of Sony??
Thanks!
Yes the nandroid (a nandroid is just s backup imagee taken with cwm, there is a zip that include one in the folder I posted)is the official ics, just already rooted. The ftf is just the stock ics kernel.
As for the ka13 question that's more suited to his thread , although the beta kernels work on official I haven't tried the other way around but they should be compatible.

that's wonderfuld, did not see at the file #2
Downloading & doing again....
Can you upload it to mediafire? Cant download from minus..
Thank you!!!
Edit: downloaded on my phone, thank you! But i cant use it yet, i cant downgrade using flashtool, im getting error..

Minus works fine, clicking the standard view link or use the app makes it simpler.
If someone wants to mirror it that's fine, by me but I don't use mediafire

Thank you so much!! It worked... but you have to update "busybox" from "Busybox Installer Free" from market.
After that Titanium & CPU Master works..
Many thanks.
Also, by my experience I would advise you to update the OP with clear instructions like...
Download these two files..
1) Kernel FTF
2) Nandroid backup

Yes it does, give it a chance its a 200mb zip so can be slow to start.

Hi,
I have been trying to flash a custom rom made for Xperia X8 devices to my X10 mini pro but the touch doesn't works after flashing..
Is there a way by which I can modify the flashable zip so that touch works.
I have done this much so far..
1. Downloaded X8 rom and unzipped using root explorer.
2. Replaced system/app, system/framework and system/lib folders of my working rom with the X8 rom folders and zipped file and flashed. This worked but I think this will not give desired result completely.
When I directly flashing Xperia X8 rom, touch does'nt works..which is understandable due to resolution issues..so my question is which other folders I need to modify from the X8 zip. Is it going to work if I lower the density from 160 to 120 in build.prop and then flash..
If there is any link which can make me learn porting roms and understanding the importance of different sub folders in a rom zip that will be helpful.
Sorry if I sounded dump here but I want to learn things..

On build.prop change lcd.density to 120
And copy bin from base to your port rom
Follow this guide
Anything to done to system/lib/module folder?

Is not stock kernel??
if. on lib/module delete files inside except .placeholder.
I flashed as you suggested..everthing is working but when I tried root explorer it does not allows me to edit folders..checked SU user and it says su binary not found.
I tried in market but there is no su binary updater tool. Can you help here?
