@pvy

i changed the recovery.tar in system that i had from v5 with the one from sdcard/xparts

and that one is 5.5.0.4 and yes,it doese work on gb :)...made backups,etc....so point is,why the app didnt copied the recovery.tar in system folder?....and needer chargemon...

i read back...i just wanted to inform....:)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] gggg:
no offense - just a noob sticking his nose into things, as he is afraid of doing it wrong .... THX for fast reply !!!

Final question: As all the methods use the same revorey.tar I assume they all have the same features / options /menues ??
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
I compiled my own recovery for ics so no. :)

Changes are in the op. Will update with features soon.

No offence taken. :)

Pvy
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] gggg:
Final braindump ;): Just to make sure... If CPU is set in the script to 1GHz, will my ARC S still run with 1,4 or shoud I / how can I change it??
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] gggg:
and why must xbin/sh be different to stock ?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
Yes it will

Because this type of recovery needs a special sh to run.

Pvy
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] gggg:
please somebody tell me what is the difference between xparts "nandroid backup" and the backup offered by 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2 ClockworkMod for Stock Xperia Mini/Pro/Active/Arc
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
OK... Stop for a minute please this is NOT A Q&A thread.

for your reference;

CWM is a recovery for your phone. it alows you to do lots of things to do with backups, flashing zips ect ect.

x-Parts is an INSTALLER i have made primarily for LOCKED BOOTLOADERS.

mainly so you can do backups and flash themes/ mods ect.

The App x-Parts is a app.

CWM is a recovery.

They are 100% independent

x-Parts Installs CWM Versions

5.0.2.7-nAa-r2 for GB device

or my compiled 5.5.0.4 for ICS devices.

on a bunch of xperia devices.

Why compile my own recovery?

because there were bugs with nobodyAtall's version in ICS.

x-Parts has some features that may confuse this, the reboot to recovery / automagical nandroid, ect simply make CWM run certain things. and have nothing to do with how CWM will run.

the OP and second post have most of this info please read them.

hope this clears up all your questions if not please try this.

i am not trying to be being rude, nor am i having a go at anyone. take this as you will.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] N-canTER:
Some suggestions

Great app... I'm here with a little bugreport and few suggestions)

I've got Xperia pro (mk16i) with stock 4.04(unlocked, rooted).

X-Parts(version 7) crashes while changing device orientation on "tools" and "about" tabs

Each time changing device orientation on "installs" tab it says "please wait while checking your phone configuration" it's a little bit annoying. I think it's because of starting new activity for new orientation (may be fragments will fix it).

On "about" tabs "Thread Link" links to xda forum not to this thread...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
noted thanks for reporting.

they are fragments but they run a synced thread that will detach then crash if the orientation changes without terminating forgot to lock the screen orientation :P

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] chandoliasnikos:
I've installed the app in a friend's Xperia Live with walkman. It seedem it installed properly, I took a nandroid backup, it rebooted, everything went fine. After that I tried to install a zip file through recovery, it resulted in bootloops and now I can't gow into recovery. The phone keeps rebooting, the blue light works, I press Vol down button, but it doesn't get into recovery. Any idea?

EDIT: Ok, found the solution, had to press POWER button.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Tikki Pon:
Now to go to cwm,i'll have to press n hold the power button??
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] chandoliasnikos:
On my ArcS it's still the same, when the blue light appears I push the Volune down button for 2-3 times, but this didn't work on my friends Live with walkman, so after blue light you have to press the power button for 2-3 times and you go into recovery.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] danisariandi:
I replaced my own and It didn't work
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
Sorry what???

Pvy
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] danisariandi:
I used old CWM and I want to replace to new but It still old
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] alex_SW:
copy recovery.tar from xparts folder in system folder,replacing the old one...you will have then the new cwm for ics....
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] danisariandi:
Only recovery.tar or what ?

I get in when I did it It has been worked on me
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] MikLSP:
Hi, I'm struggling to get this to work on my Xperia arc.

I have installed x-Parts from Google Play and says install complete after I press "Install CWM" but the phone will not boot into recovery.

Regardless of whether I try the "Reboot to Recovery" button or try doing it manually, the phone boots normally and there is no sign of a blue LED.

What could be wrong? Cheers :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] lioo:
Same ways :confused:

with neo and 4 b ics firmware
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] datagubben:
Installed first the old version and then the new and it works, but not the Pyvpart CWM :crying:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] zolaisugly:
I too get this.

I flashed Rom again and installed older version of cwm v5 works no issues.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] lioo:
Tanks v5 make great job!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] MikLSP:
Thanks, v5 worked for me too with no problem
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] alex_SW:
for those who haas working v5,until pvy has time to fix this,just install the new v7 and replace the recovery.tar from system/bin folder with the one from sdcard/xparts and you will have the 5504 cwm....if needed,look also after chargemon from bin folder and see if its the same after v7 install...at least it worked forme....
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] BlinkyBob:
great tool :) helps me to get back after testing on my xperia pro :)

i formatted /system and didn't recognize my cwm is there...

thank you very much
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] ju1da:
Nice share, thanks:good:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] XTCrefugee:
Could you (or pvy if he's not too busy :)) please post just the recovery.tar for the 5.5.0.4 recovery? I have the old one working fine, so if it's just a matter of replacing the .tar I'd prefer to do that manually.

After using x-Parts to install the Xperia Ice Bean ROM, I can't get any version of x-Parts to work anymore.

v7 now says "Sorry! Your phone is currently unsupported" so can I no longer install CWM on my locked BL arc using x-Parts?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] trantiena10:
will it work on wt19i ics stock
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] XTCrefugee:
That's great thanks, as you mentioned just replacing this seems to be working fine. I just completed a full backup, no errors.

Thanks also, of course, to pvyParts :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Hoshigami:
im using xperia neo l said "Sorry! Your phone is currently unsupported" to
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Ray!:
not supporting the custom's rom :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
If they changed

the phones model then it prob will say that

sorry it is impossible for me to support custom roms.

Understand that this recovery is primarily for locked boot loaders. If the rom you use is based on a stock firmware the app won't care or even check as long as the phone model has not changed in the build.prop

Having said that The app does not check for rom details.

I'll have a look when I get home from my work trip.

PS this is the link to the recovery.tar

If the version in recovery changes it will still be the same

Pvy
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] MikLSP:
Thanks for the reply pvyParts. My model has been changed to LT18i although that should be supported.

Can x-Parts just not be used on the ROM I have installed despite my phone still being locked BL and Sony kernel? If not do you know of any other ways to run CWM recovery with locked BL?

Cheers
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
I thought I had replied. But i will check the code it should accept a "arc s" regardless of the rom.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] MikLSP:
Yeah you did reply, I wasn't being sarcastic in saying thanks :)

I have just tried updating to v7 again after re-installing the ROM (seems there were some problems with my ROM before) and the device is now recognised and supported, however, it won't boot into recovery and there is no blue LED :S
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
Do you have an arc s or an arc?

I am on the limit of reception sorry if my replies seam strange. ( still like 60 mile off shore with work )

Pvy
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] MikLSP:
It is an LT15i arc but the ROM has changed the model to LT18i
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
OK thanks there is a small bug where a arc does not find the mounts and fails instal. You cab use v5 or I'll fix it when I get home :)

Sorry. I only have an arc s, galxy nex and xperia s to test on so some bugs can get through. :)•,
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] MikLSP:
Yeah v5 worked for me before and enabled me to install this ROM but since then neither v5 or v7 will successfully boot into recovery although both say that CWM is installed.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
OK np thanks for the info I am sitting at the airport now I will be home tomorrow or so. I'll take a look then.

Anyone who is having issues please let me know I chat help other wise.

Don't want to give bad rating in Play Store so i'm trying here.

Use the app for a long time now and need only two functions. First to boot in Recovery and second the magic nandroid function.

But since the last some updates they aren't working.

Md5 checksum fail.

Hi pvyParts:

I'd install ver 5 on a branded LT15i, after rooted it, and copy recovery.tar from ver 7, all works fine, but i have another lt15i free with cwm recovery throuhg fastboot, i made a backup on the free phone, and when i go to restore this backup on the branded one, recovery give's me a checksum error, it's due to incompatility or it's a bug?

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] tzarp990:
I rejoice when I found this . Thanks a millions .just got my bricked xperia arc s back online I have managed to get this installed and can access through reboot option but how do I get to recovery from boot.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jcgechevarria:
Hi, to boot into recovery from cell boot, you must have unlocked bootloader, then flash a recovery.img trough fastboot.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
That is incorrect for xperia devices.

Recovery is usually in the ramdisk of the kernel.

But for locked bootloaders it is possible to put it in system for simple recovery stuffs.

In future please make sure you read a little before stating facts in a development thread. :)

tapping keys on boot when the LED lights up

Pvy
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jcgechevarria:
@ Pvy, sorry, i didn't noticed that your app can give acces to recovery on power on without unlocking bootloader, can you answer my question about backup and restore? ;)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
sorry i missed it :P

i am not sure tbh but i would say it is a copy problem did you rename anything?

Pvy.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jcgechevarria:
Yes i rename directory, to know what is inside, rom version etc.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
OK I would do an md5 check on the files. The md5's are in the nandroid.md5 file.

Sounds like they copied bad.

Pvy
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jcgechevarria:
Ok, i made a md5's checksum, on the three files i copyed an thats the results.

The error that i see when restore my backup on the other cell it's "MD5 mismatch!"

I think the backup is damaged,So I simply deleted backup :(
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jcgechevarria:
Sorry but i don't understand what are you asking for.... i post you the nandroid.md5 content.

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 AM ----------

I installed version 5, and paste the recovery.tar from version 7, my backups works fine, and restore in the same cell i made the backup works fine too, but when i want to restore the backup made on one cell on other cell is when i have troubles, and gets the checksum mismatch....
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
probably the change in recovery version causeing it... i cant be sure with out the recovery log. can you try to restore then get the log under advanced in the menu i think it will save it to the sd-card then attach that.

Like others, V7 does'nt work, all seems Ok, but can't boot into recovery. CWM_Installer-v5.apk works well and boot into recovery. It's looks like V7 can't dowload recovery.tar (wich is included in V5). I even disabled AD Free and DroidWall, with no more sucess. BTW, good work.

I install it with CWM Installer v5.

Thanks.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] buzzinkeegs:
it still not working m8 i tried it just on a freshly rooted arc it said it installed every thing and to reboot but nothing no light on side spammed the button but nothing, installed v5 and replaced tar after and it works now
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] n3n00:
It should work with v7 if you replace recovery.tar too... @pvyparts you should add this solution to the OP and add the attachment, until you fix it.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
Thats ok i'll help wehre i can

TBH i honestly think you cant as i thought CM7 needed it's kernel to go with it. and in that case the kernel has the CWM in it :D

not a clue sorry i dont run CM well since early x10 days neway.

usualy yes. for this version NO. it is in system. so if you are bootlooping because a faulty app/mod or something like that 9 out of 10 you will be able to recover.

if you cant you can simply re-flash stock/root/cwm then recover. back to how it was

hope this helps a bit.

I have an xperia arc with the .42 stock firmware, Orange France.

I rooted it by the domlord script (v3).

I have installed the apk from the market, and executed the software to install cwm

I am able to reach the recovery menu by clicking a button when the light of the notification is blue.

I tried to do a backup.

It failed at the .android_secure step.

The message is:

error while making a backup image of /sdcard/.android_secure!

Any idea?

Ihave one: It should be because not I enough empty space in my card.

Anyway, thank you all to making this (nearly) possible.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Loosely:
Hi, Pvy.

Nice work - I had tried previously to install CWM from ROM Manager but the Arc didn't appear on the list of phones. Bah! But your app has installed it with no issues at all and it's happily backing up as we speak. I had a bad moment when it stopped on 'Backing up .android_secure' for a minute or so, but it's now finished with no errors. (The phone is an ex-Rogers Arc, rooted with zergrush and running generic .42 firmware.)

Two questions for you: you've posted that v2 should be out soon. This presumably updates just your app, not CWM itself. What will an update to the installer do for us users?

And nothing to do with your app, but I noticed as the backup was running that I seem to have a LOT of .tmp files in /data. Can you confirm it's safe to manually delete them? I can't give a proper example, but the filenames were all something like '12345678.tmp'.

Thanks again for a useful app.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
Please forward your issues to the CWM thread :D as i dont know what would be causing this unless you dont have enought room on SD or something like that

Yeah as for CWM issues you'll have to ask in the CWM thread. i dont know about the temp files.

i'll make a app for you to use so i can find out how we need to set it up :) jsut need some time. thanks.

@ Everyone

CWM may look like it is stuck on your SD ext but if like me you have half a billion apps in there and they are all your games 20meg+ then this will take a LONG time to finnish give it time to do it's stuff. my backups take 10 minutes.... lol!

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] iridaki:
1. Most custom ROMs require unlocked bootloader. Browse through the dev section, find a ROM you feel you'll like and then read its thread for more info.

2. If you update your phone, you'll have to re-root and re-install recovery.

3. Or 2.3.4 depends on the context.
