[TUT] Installing ClockworkMod Recovery for X10 Mini Pro on stock ROM

For some reason, it's sometimes a gordian knot to get ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) installed on a stock ROM, as you need CWM to install CWM. :confused:

Requirements

Xperia X10 mini pro, with ROOT

Xperia X10 mini pro, with Superuser (udpated)

(follow the TUT above untill the Install Recovery part, and you should be good)

Download files

Attach your X10 mini pro to the PC with USB-cable and tap Connect your phone.

​

Create a folder on your SD-card and call it xRec.

Download xRecovery to your PC and extract the 3 files from the zip-file to the xRec folder on the SD-card.

The 3 files are:

busybox

chargemon

xrecovery.tar

Do not onpack the xrecovery.tar file.

Download cwmr3_xrecinstall.zip and save it to the xRec folder on the SD-card.

Disconnect the USB from your X10 mini pro. Note: remember to use the eject USB function on your PC.

Manual install of xRecovery

First start the Market app and get Super Manager.

Start Super Manager, tap on Settings, check the Enable ROOT Function, accept the Superuser request.

Tap on File Explorer, and navigate to the xRec folder and check the 3 files.

​

Tap on the copy icon (the one with 2 overlapping dokuments).

Navigate to the root, and then navigate into the System folder. A popup asks if you want to switch R/W-rights. Do that by tapping the R/W button.

​

Navigate into the bin folder and then tap the insert icon (the clipbobard).

NOTE: You might get a message, that there wasn't enough space for the files. Just ignore this message, the files should be copied anyway. Check if they are.

Now xRecovery is installed on your stock ROM.

Install of CWM

Restart the phone and press repeatedly (not holding but press, release, press, release, press, release .....) on the back button when the white Sony Ericsson logo appears.

​

Shortly after xRecovery will start.

You navigate up and down in the menu using the volume buttons on the side of the phone and choose a menu item with the select button (middle button) and go back into the menu system with the back button.

Select Install zip from sdcard and navigate to the xRec folder and select the cwmr3_xrecinstall.zip.

​

xRecovery will now install CWM.

PLEASE

[TUT] Gain acces to the full Market

Before i had CyaNo (R)Evolution ROM on my mini pro.

Now I have changed to FroyoBread.

In CyaNo (R)Evolution I had access to all market apps, incl. Skyfire and Skype.

With FroyoBread it was the restricted market like on the stock ROM.

With a few simple steps i now have access to the full market, incl. Skyfire and Skype.

Rooted mini pro with Superuser installed.

Take a full backup with xRecovery or CWM.

Go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All.

Screenshots comming soon

Find Market, force close and remove any updates and data.

Screenshots comming soon

Download the CyaNo (R)Evolution zip to PC.

Extract the files: MarketUpdater.apk and Vending.apk.

Connect mini pro to PC with USB and copy the 2 files to the SD-card, E.g to a folder named Market-CyaNo.

Disconnect mini pro from PC.

Start Super Manager and check Enable ROOT function under Settings, and accept Superuser request.

With Super Manager's File Explorer, navigate to system/app (when entering system folder you are asked to change R/W settings, tap R/W-button)

Check MarketUpdater.apk and Vending.apk and tap the cut button (siccor)

Screenshots comming soon

Navigate to SD-card, create a folder named Market-backup and tap Insert button (clipboard) inside that folder.

Screenshots comming soon

Navigate to the 2 files extracted from the CyaNo (R)Evolution zip.

Check the 2 files and tap copy (2 overlapping dokuments).

Screenshots comming soon

Navigate to system/app.

Tap Insert button.

Screenshots comming soon

Check the 2 files and tap CHMOD button (777) and set Owner: rw- Group: r-- Other: r--.

Screenshots comming soon

Reboot into CWM or xRecovery.

Clear Dalvik Cache.

Now you got the unlimited market, and the push apps option from https://market.android.com/ works.

If somethings fails, and you follow the steps above, you got a backup of the 2 files.

Just clear data (4 above) copy the 2 original files back to system/app, reboot into xRecovery/CWM, clear Dalvik Cache, and you are back to "normal".

Hi,

I can't resize my MicroSD!

I'm using Windows 7 64 bit and the newest version of Easeus. I'm using a MicroSD to USB. It's a 8GB card.

Greets

Edit:

In your picture its a FAT16, I can't format it as an FAT16!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dexvils:
I think it must use fat32,

Becoz u'r sd card more than 2gb..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] P466y:
But if I use FAT32 I can't resize partitions or delete it!

Does it only work with MicroSD cards smaller than 2GB? I'd buy one.

Screenshot:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Emperor.dk:
My new microSD is 8 GB, and the first partition is FAT32.

I did not change any part of original partition, only the size.

I have also changes sizes af the partitions later, to make the EXT larger, with no problem.

From your screen-shot, it looks like you right-click at wrong place.

You have to right-click at the light-blue bar representing drive K at the buttom of your screenshot (in the red square).
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] P466y:
If I click there it's just the same!

What am I doing wrong?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Emperor.dk:
I couldn't tell. I get the same popup-menu as you do, when i right-click where you did before, and the one in my screenshot, when i right-click in the red square.

Another option is first highlight the blue bar (drive K in red square), and then click the Resize button at the top (3 from left). Wich it seams you do not have :confused:

:confused: I'm wondering why your screen shot of Partition Master do not look like mine :confused:

Try use the Server Edition. It's also for free download.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] P466y:
I don't understand that. It's the same... I think I have to get a 2GB MicroSD. Maybe a fried has one.

I only have got two options:

Format and copy.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Emperor.dk:
Or try partition from CWM menu or xRecovery menu. (if you do not mind loosing all data on the SD-card)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Emperor.dk:
I just downloaded the new version of Home Edition (free one). I have no problem in resizing partitions on my microSD card in either the USB or the SD adapter.

Did you plug the microSD card into the USB or the SD adaptor?

You didn't just plug the phone to the PC with the USB cable, did you? This won't work.

Any suggestions?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ameijer:
I really hope someone can help me out here. I am on stock rom (never tried custom yet) but now that I see a lot of interesting Rom's I would like to try one. Here's what I did;installed Xrecovery via AAIS, then CWM and now the dual-recovery zip. (I also tried xrec/cwm seperately) So I can chose to use xrec or CWM. Now here's my problem; I am unable to install ANY Rom I have tried so far (gingerbread roms's i.e Gintonic.se but also 2.1.1.Clean.0.0 which is a normal 2.1 rom and flashable via xrec only) won't install.

Everytime I get:

cant open /sdcard/Roms/x.zip 'installation aborted' (bad) I have tried a different SD card (standard) but the same problem persists....I can not believe I am unable to install a custom ROM but I am completely stuck with my problem. I am rooted/xrec working/cwm working...I can install small updates (ie cwm via xrec&dual-recovery.zip) but NOT a complete Rom...Whywhywhy???!!!...It is driving me crazy!!!

Can someone please help me out?:confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Emperor.dk:
Did you download on PC and then transfer to SD-card or did you download directly to your phone?

I expierences that once also with a ROM downloaded directly to my phone.... a fresh new download on my PC instead fixed it, and then transfer to phone via USB-cable.

Can you open the zip-file on your computer (just to see if it's valid)?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ameijer:
Yes, first on my PC and then copied the files to my sd (copy/paste) somehow there seems to be a md5 mismatch (just checked this with slades'gintonic.se) between file on my pc and file on my sd:confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shad0wbane:
Hi, does anybody know how to add and use swap partition on x10 mini pro? I'm already using GingerDX, and I have some knowledge on linux. Thanks in advance
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] JmExperia:
I cannot get it to work.

I startet with clean re-install with SEUS.

I follow the instructions carefully.

It will not install CWM... methode 1 D4 Recovery - nothing happens, when pressing "Install CWM Recovery" button.

Methode 2 Mini rom manager. when pressing download CWM.... it says "downloading ClockWorkMod Recovery. Please stand by. but after "standing by" for more than 20 minutes, nothing has happened yet.

Manuel methode. When copying the 3 files to system/bin its says not enough space.

What else can I try? is there another methode?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Emperor.dk:
Ignore the Not enough space. the files are copied. check to se if they are.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leajian:
I asked this in a post if you saw and the answer I got was that we need another kernel, cause the current doesn't support this and that AnDyX works on it. Which means, we need to by-pass the bootloader first... :-/

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] avernard:
Thanks a lot Emperor.dk for the great tutorial!

Actually, I succesfuly upgraded to minicm 7 (paul-xxx) and I'd like to try some more custom roms. The question is: can I flash my phone through CWM Recovery right now with another custom firmware, or should I return to the stock firmware, first?

Thank you in advance!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 1yam:
avernard : yes buddy u can try as many custom roms (listed in emperor.dk's tut post) as u want from cwm but 1st u need to factory reset and then install the rom zip u wanted and then wipe cache partition and then go in advanced and wipe dalvik cache.reboot and njoy! dnt forget to backup ur data .

cwm is far much better than xrecovery..u can rely on it .

thx , tc.

I have an xperia 10 mini pro with build no 2.1.1.a.0.6 and base band is m76xx-tsncjolym-53404015 kernel version is 2.6.29 , i want to install custom rom on my phone. Problem is i am big noob and although i do have a faint idea about how to get things done i dont want to mess up my phone bcoz i cannot afford a new one now:D. Guys i want to install minicm7pro rom and i have a few doubts regarding it. I Have already rooted my phone , now do i need to :-

format my sd card ?

unlock the bootloader ?

will minicm7pro work with stock kernel or i need a new one ?

if i brick my phone how do it flash it back to the stock 2.1 eclair ?

Is minicm7pro the best rom interms of stability , minimum bugs or should i go for some other rom ? I had read somewhere that Minicm7pro V21 has issues with sd card and i need the wifi to work flawlessly. Guys can you please lay down some basic tips about installing the rom , i will be very grateful for any kind of support. Thanks in advance :)

In your tutorial, you did not put a JIT installation instruction. So, does that mean i can install custom ROMs, even without JIT installed? And why?

Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
JIT-install is only useful if you plan on running stock 2.1 firmware,

From Android 2.2 (Froyo) google introduced the jit-compiler, which gave it a huge performance boost, so every custom ROM will have it.

So.. a tutorial on installing a custom ROM doesn't need a section on installing JIT.

Ok.

Can you go from xrecovery to cwm recovery? And if so can you (still) use recovery installer? Thanks in advance
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Emperor.dk:
I'm not sure I understand that question.

If you do a backup from xrecovery you can always return to your old ROM. Always to that before anything else :laugh:

If you install CWM on top of xRecovery, you looses xRecovery

If you install xrecovery on top of CWM, you looses CWM
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] migaspepino:
I tried both methods but I cant install CWM.

I have android 2.1.1.A.0.6 and I can't access the rom manager app because it's only for android 2.2 or up.

And I can't Install neither xRecovery nor CWM nor upgrade Android trough SEUS or SE assistant because they don't have a Upgrade bigger than 2.1 even if I mess up with build.prop #'s.

So What should I Do?

Thanks in Advance,

I could not install any Recovery, unless I used the old rev. of "Flashtool 0.6.8.0 / 2012". It was the only working tool, do not take any younger rev.

ROMs: Neather miniCM7 nor miniCM10 could get the wifi working on my dev. The only working Rom, to my personal exp., is the miniCM9 with Kernel 2.6.29.6.nAa-ics-04. If YOU have got an other working kombination, I would appreciate to get involved whith your exp.

I've changed out the digitizer on a Tmobile USA HD2 and it was not that hard. Just be very carefull when separating the LCD from the Digitizer. Look online for instructional videos. I am not sure how much difference there is between the US version and the European version. I also did my wife's nexus one digitizer which was significantly easier. BTW niether broken screen was my fault!;)

Hi all,

I am serching the whole internet to findout how to build a Clockworkmod for LG P920.

This is what i got so far:

P920's boot.img and recovery.img are uImage format. it loads by uboot. and i can get info from it using uboot's mkimage -l command.

the uImage using by LG P920 is a Multi-File format.

this is the info of Clockworkmod 4.0.0.9 for LGP920:

tenfar@tenfar-laptop:~/temp$ ./mkimage -l recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.9-p920.img.backup
Image Name: Image
Created: Sun Jul 10 03:55:14 2011
Image Type: ARM Linux Multi-File Image (uncompressed)
Data Size: 5149182 Bytes = 5028.50 kB = 4.91 MB
Load Address: 0x80008000
Entry Point: 0x80008000
Contents:
Image 0: 3325552 Bytes = 3247 kB = 3 MB
Offset = 00000050
Image 1: 1823618 Bytes = 1780 kB = 1 MB
Offset = 0032BEC0

i already get the Image 0 and Image 1 using dd withe command below:

2018 dd if=recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.9-p920.img.backup of=ramdisk.img skip=3325632 bs=1 count=1823618
2019 dd if=recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.9-p920.img.backup of=kernel.img skip=80 bs=1 count=3325552

so am i right? and how to extra the ramdisk.img?

what i want to do is add external sd card support for this clockworkmod recovery. why the original clockwokmod just support for internal sdcard?

I am also try to find the kernel source for this device. where can i find it?

any help will do.... Thanks!
[LG Optimus 3D] precsmo:
why do you ever need to build one when it already has one in Rom Manager? Just 2 cents, no expert here:)

I've been trying to change the background of some apps to transparent, everything that I've read makes it sound as if all I have to do is add one line to the manifest and bam it's done, but I can't get it to work, is it realy just as easy as editing one line or do I need to do more, any advice or links on how to would be appreciated...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
You shouldn't have to edit any xml files to change backgrounds. Simply use 7-zip to open the archive and navigate to your .png background file (usually in the /res/drawable_hdpi folder) edit it with your program of choice, (gimp, photoshop, etc) then put your modified png back in the original folder before pushing to your device.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adude247:
But if there is no background .PNG file then the XML would be the place to go correct
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
yes, if there is no png, then edit the xml value #ff0000 to #000000

did you sign it first?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adude247:
what I do is decompile, edit the xml file, recompile and then sign, but I can't recomplie...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
lol, misread that last one, sorry. Which error are you getting?

Would you be able to troubleshoot this in IRC?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adude247:
What I mean is that Im trying to the add the transpancy line because there isn't a color for the background, I'm wanting to make the app transparent, and the error in the log says unknown or can't be found
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
That means your apk has dependencies that it can't find when recompiling. If you know which dependency it is, you can choose option 10 when decompiling and follow the prompts. If the original compiler didn't recompile the resources.arsc file as well, i believe you're hosed, since you can't find the dependency.
