I was reading these threads and couldn't find an easy installer for xrecovery on the X10i Mini (E10i).
I looked at zoz33 installer for the X10 and changed the files to suit the E10i.
So now you can just install this app and run it and it will install xRecovery
Requirements:
1. Phone MUST be Rooted.
2. Busybox installed (Easiest way is to install "Titanium Backup" & click on the "Problems?" button.)
If you are having problems installing: Open Root explorer (Free version here) and set /system to R/W then run the installer again!
NOTE: this has only been tested on my X10i MINI (E10i) and I don't think it will work on other models (Different CHARGEMON versions?!?!).
Please comment so I know if this works or not! Thanks.
Just tried it on my X10min E10i, it installed the installer then got a force close when I ran the program & clicked install..
Ran flashtool & clicked root this morning as well, it said root should be available..

Muspelheim for remouny job?
Hi there!
Thx for this nice work (I hope - haven't tested it yet)!!!
In case /system needs r/w remount - can muspelheim be used?
Since I don't have Root Explorer (no visa card) - I'd prefer this option..
Thx in advance!
Keep it up
Housefly
EDIT: Muspelheim will not remount /system as r/w - see known issue on the muspelheim homepage (sorry, but i'm not allowed to link yet)
However - I found this little app from beansoft - which appears to do the trick - for free - twitter(dot)com(slash)beansoft
Hope this is helpful..
I'm off to try getting Xrecovery working on the x10 mini..
Thx

I tried searching for it, but nothing comes up I am still new to this loading different software etc..
but also on flashtool from bin4ry it has an option to install busybox, I did that & it said its installed.. But after doing the root, xrecovery & busybox the phone still looks & acts & has same features as normal, no extra icons etc...
Dont think my root worked properly. Trying it again now.. sorry

xRecovery is a Hidden program - you access it by restarting the phone and AS SOON as the text "Sony Ericsson" appears - keep pushing the "<-" Back button. if it starts loading your boot animation then you either missed the time to push back or installation failed.
If you are not too sure on how to access or use xrecovery then please read a bit of info before you use it as it can stop your phone booting if used wrong!
Cool thanks for the help.
I ran exploid root now. got titanium backup & installed busy box
then when i ran xrecovery installer, it had a message pop up saying xrecovery installer has superuser permissions.
turned off phone, turned on again & pushed back button.. & nothing happened.
Will keep trying..
thanks

You have to push it more than once, right after the "Sony Ericsson" appears.
Keep pushing it (1 or 2 times a second)
THANKS...
Got it working.
Thanks again
I didn't get this apk-version to work. - I think it's due to the superoneclick rooter. - I get the cp: not found -error.
However I got the 0.1 beta to work using the older (and free) Root Explorer - attached somewhere in this forum - can't remember where - so happy searching if you need it

cp: not found is because you don't have busybox installed (cp is the copy command).
Glad to know that you sorted something out anyway!
I got a rooted phone, whit busybox installed like u said, taping the promblem box etc .. and the system folder set to R/W whit rootexplorer, I installed the xrecovery to my phone and when I start there the 3 boxes doesn t are checked in green, and the xrecovery doesn t installed, I looked in the system/bin folders on my phone and there are copied the 3 files: busybox, xrecovery.tar and the chargemon, Any idea what is going wrong ? (sorry 4 my bad english)
The .apk did not work for me. I followed the commands from the program screen manually in root explorer, and finally got xRecovery working. The problem was the last file, xrecovery.tar, It hasn't been copied by the script. I have busybox installed, X 10 mini 2.0.A.0.504, App2SD. Thank you

I don't write, hold the file, select "copy", navigate to destination folder, select "paste". Also, there is a folder "sdcard" in the main directory, this is the SD card.
Hey there
First, thanks alot for working on an apk for the xRecovery program
My problem, i cant get it to work.
1. I Rooted with SuperOneClick - worked.
2. Had Titanium Backup, so just downloaded BusyBox by using "Problems - worked
3. Installed the xRecovery.apk from Astro File Manager, program installed, had no errors.
4. Rebooted the phone, spammed the back button (3-5 clicks/second) - and i dont get the xRecovery option. Did a few times, still not getting it.
5. Tried so click the xRecovery program in the apps list, installed it again, this time it asked for Root rights, i approved - and the program shows in the "Superuser" program.
6. Tried rebooting again, tapping the back button like insane, still wont give me access?
Any ideas?

If the 3 files are in your /system/bin folder, then it worked.
You need to keep pressing the back "<-" button as soon as you see the "Sony Ericsson" logo (Push it 1 or 2 times a second).
If your bootscreen comes up then something is wrong.
If the 3 files are not there then you don't have R/W privelages for your /system folder or any sub-directorys.

If your phone is rooted then navigate to /system/bin and at the top right there is a "Mount R/W" button, press it and it will set the folder to R/W.
If you are not rooted then you won't be able to open the folder.
It's my first post and the system tells me to post here!
So i have x10 mini pro update to android 2.1 with SEUS, i rooted with superoneclick, now i want to install Xrecovery...i have the three files:
Xrecovery.tar
chargemon
busybox
I know that i have to copy them to system bin and then reboot, correct?
My questions...
1) I have AndExplorer and I can't change dir attributes..do i need root explorer in order to do this or there's a way also on andExplorer?
2)I have titaniun back up installed and so busybox but it's in the folder \system\xbin not \system\bin, so i have to copy the three files in bin or xbin??
Thanks a lot!!
titanium backup will work. it is xRecovery that will not work with another busybox. check the threads at the x10 mini section. if you can not access xrecovery, try getting the chargemon from the other thread, or if you know how, change event1 to event0 (which i dont know how).
I'm not on a Pro (just a mini) but I have found there are a few Windows apps and scripts to simply install busybox, root, Jit, Xrecovery etc on the mini and pro (single click operation) there is even an .apk for the mini to install Xrecovery..
If you search the threads you will find them.. shouldn't be any reason anyone has trouble with these simple mods.. with all the DEV work gone into making scripts and apps, even my girlfriend could manage it (if she had any interest in modding her Mini)
if you still want to do it the hard way (I guess thats the best way to learn).. Busy box is an important thing to get right, if you have installed it... look in your app drawer and find your installed "busybox" then open the app and click on Install (I don't know why you install it then have to 'install' it within the program but you do) or is it just me?
the 3 files should be in System\bin but you also need to change the permissions before you reboot.... more forum searching required if you want to find out how to do that without Root Explorer... the search feature is your friend and the best way to learn.. good luck.
hope that helps..

i installed root via superoneclock and installed xrecovery via flashtool, but didn't work well, than i installed xrecovery mini and it works great.
i am using an x10mini pro
stipey75
i had some of your problems too
1) Titanium use its own version of busybox. You can use an app called 'root checker' to see if busybox is installed properly
I had to install it, heres's link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946259
2) To change permissions i used a free version of root explorer

First, make sure you don't copy but MOVE. Copy won't work.
Second http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913136
In this page there's a link an automatic installation of root and xrecovery, why don't you try that?
Had similar issues on my x10i flashtool wouldnt set up xrecovery correctly, so downloaded app from market, installed, then clicked install again, but the three checks stayed crossed. Rebooted phone, and then the checks got ticked second time round. Now running freex10 2.2 beta 4 from z. Ita amazing.

Hey guys,
The easiest way to install root and xrecovery is to download the newest version of flashtool. The newest versions have xrecovery and root for all version of xperia family (x10, x10mini, x10minipro, x8). They should not have any problems rooting or installing xrecovery. I would reinstall the laster fw via SEUS before using it tho.
Cheers,
evilbarcode.
Can anyone provide me with a link where I can download minicmpro? Plz

I bought my tablet Sunday, and have been trying to install Clockworkmod for 3 days now. I follow the steps listed here and from videos in YouTube. I install recovery folder and update.zip to root, when looking at the recovery folder in windows explorer of the root folder on the tablet, there is a comand in the folder. But, when looking at the recovery folder with ES file explorer(?) there is nothing in the folder. I cannot get into clockworkmod when booting into recovery.
What am I doing wrong??
I have successfully rooted a HTC Aria (thanks to these forums) and my SE Experia X10a. But for god's sake, cannot figure out how to install ClockWorkMod on this tablet....
Not sure if this is in the right section but i used this to load clockwork. You should have two files on the root of your card, one recovery folder with a a command file in it and the update.zip to install when you boot into recovery and it can load clockwork. Hope it helps

Hi all devs and xda people, since i cannot post on the dev forum i have to ask here...
[Q]: How Do i Install the New CWM without having xrecovery installed?
I just cleaned my phone by flashing it with SEUS, wich i normally do before i'm about to install a new rom, i just rooted my phone and installed the newest version of Root Explorer from market. Also have downloaded the CWM zip provided from the first post by D4rKn3sSyS at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106146
However, that zip contains two folders, not any single files that you just copied over to /system/bin like you did with xrecovery. so what am i suppsoed to do? wich files, where and what permission should they have?
CWM can be installed only manually using Root Explorer.
Extract files from bin folder in the zip and copy to respective folder with correct permissions (755).
It is missing one file (bin/charge) that can be found on xrecovery.zip file.
Another way is to install xRecovery Mini Pro .apk Unified Installer and after that use cwr_xrecinstall!

Could you tell me exactly what file that is missing? the xRecovery-minipro-0.1.1beta contains three files: busybox, chargemon and xrecovery.tar
I could assume that its the busyboxfile that is missing, but i really dont want to chance and take a risk.

Hello,
I have rooted the Galaxy Notes SGH-i317M, and install the CWM recovery.
The question is how can I do the stock update, for custom ROM it's look easy just ue CWM. I tried to search for the answers for the last few days, but nothings is conclusive?
1. I have tried with ODIN Mobile, while it was able to keep the root (with everroot), it lost the CWM (it sent back to stock recovery), so I have to reinstall it
2. With Desktop ODIN, then the root and CWM is gone, so have to reinstall it (both ODIN and CWM) and restore apps/data though a backup (like titanium backup)
And a side question is there a site that I can download the OTA update or I have to wait it push to the phone and don't install it, and follow this procedure?
Download the OTA package
Open it on your computer, and delete the recovery folder from inside the .zip file
Place the zip file on the root of your SD card
Unless you're able to mount the system and edit file permissions while in recovery, install OTA Rootkeeper from the market and run it
Reboot into CWM and make a backup
Flash the OTA package you put in your sdcard folder in step 3
Reboot, rerun OTA Rootkeeper, or chmod 4755 /system/bin/su while in recovery then reboot
