Sure they do. But they didn't do xrecovery so you can hardly blame them for that.

Hi all.

I think I'll give up trying to install the xRecovery in my u20i. I've tried all the ways. I have the xRecovery .bz2 file. I extracted the 3 files within and the pasted it in my microSD. Using root explorer I've moved those files to system/bin. I mounted r/w first of course.

The Busybox's been installed already. I rebooted the phone and when the se white label appears I press quickly the back key repeatedly but no joy. I need to press one or how many times?

My phone's rooted already.

Hi guys.

I got a problem running xrecovery in my mini.

Everything was working fine, even I put the reboot icon and it worked well.

Ok, the thing is, I can't use xrecovery anymore, I put a couple of themes and then I removed them due a performance problems.

But I can't launch xrecovery anymore.

The phone keeps stucks inte sony ericcson white letters for ever. Android never boots because I can't access the phone with adb.

Ideas? Reflash?

HI guys!!! I have root my phone and i install all apps for xrecovery. BUT when i copy the 3 files on system/bin the files, these are not in the folder! What is the problem.. can anyone help me?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] g.rommit:
Excellent. Many thanks.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] FF23:
I found the solution!!! If you rooted your phone properly and also copied the xrecovery files to your /system/bin folder, but still can't get into xrecovery by using the back button, then it's because the xrecovery files have the wrong permission and are not allowed to be executed by the kernel.

To fix the problem you simply need to adjust the security attributes of all 3 freshly copied files (busybox, charger and chargemon) so they can be executed. They will most likely look like

rw- rw- rw-

but that's not correct as they're not allowed to be executed. You need to change them to look like

rwx r-x r-x

The way you can alter the security attributes / permissions depends on your file manager, but for ex. in ES File Explorer you will need to hold down your finger on the file, and when the popup menu appears, you need to select Properties, and then the Change button.

After altering the security attributes simply reboot your phone again, and this time the back button will works as expected and if held down will take you to the xrecovery menu.

So, this works on Xperia X8 too?

Found this thread from here.

So basically what I have to do is:

1) Put the package and unzip/unpack in my sdcard

2) Browse to /system folder and click 'Mount R/W' in Root Explorer.

3) Copy all the files which I unzipped/unpacked earlier to the /system folder.

That's all? Am I doing it right?

I'm truly sorry if my post is annoying or considered as spam. I just want to make sure as this is my first time doing this.

Anyways, thanks in advance.

It works on my Xperia X8.

Hi all ,

i have an X8 ,i've rooted it with superoneclick ,it's all fine. then i used flashtool to install xrecovery,all is okey ,and xrecovery works well i think,the problem is that i am not sure if busybox is instaled,when i try busybox from market,it says that there is no busybox detected on the phone.

i thought that xrecovery can't work without busybox,can someone please explain me that ,it's weird in my opinion that busybox installer doesn't detect busybox .

thanks :)

Hi

Ive been helping out a friend with root and recovery, and we have copied the 3 files into system/bin and busybox is installed and the guide is followed to the letter.

But we are having troubles getting into recovery. Been googling, youtube'ing and so on, and now matter how many times we tried tapping that back button, the recovery doesn't show...

I read somewhere that you have to reboot and then wait for the SE logo, but how do you reboot? when phone is on and pressing the power button, we only get the option to shut down, no reboot option. :confused:

We tried turning it off and then on again, and tapping the s*** out of that back button

what to do?

thanks in advance :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DamDSx:
Use the .apk installer, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=914271

Rebbot is the same as powering down and staring up, it just does it automatically, instead of having to turn on the phone after it powers down.

Also, superoneclick installs busybox automatically when it is done rooting. If your version doesnt, download the latest one.

Hi! I did everything by the book but i can't seem to enter the recovery :(

4. rebooted the phone, and clicked the BACK button many times as soon as the SE logo appears, but nothing happens?

Am i doing something wrong? Pls help...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kt-Froggy:
From your description, no, you are not. I would suggest just trying it again (copying files, and setting permissions). The files could have been corrupted somehow during copying, so I would unpack the archive again, and copy the newly extracted files. Double-check to make sure your permissions are correct. 755 means rwx r-x r-x (I guess you know that). Just in case, verify the Owner and the Group for all three files: in my case, it's root and shell respectively. Then try rebooting again, and start hitting Back button (I start clicking it when I see the screen backlight come on). It should work.

As stated a gazillion times, you need to crack the bootloader problem if you want custom roms at the kernel level. Even on the big X10 they're only hijacking system files and replacing them with a different system image.

What this does is provide a good foundation for testing.
