Change permissions in root explorer - hold your finger on each file, the menu will appear, choose permissions and mark all fields.

Other way is through the command line -

chmod 777 /system/bin/busybox

chmod 777 /system/bin/chargemon

chmod 777 /system/bin/xrecovery.tar

Hi guys

I have my phone rooted with z4root and busybox instaled.

I did everything on the first post, also I changed the permissions of the 3 files with root explorer but even with that , if I hit 200 times the back button it's doesn't work.

can someone help me please :D

Pd: I own a X10 mini pro U20a with 2.1-update1
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] peetr_:
U20a is mini pro i think - open chargemon file with rootexplorer text editor find "event1" text, change it to "event0" and save.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Edinhox:
You could also try with installing the busybox from marketplace

and then put the chargemon busybox and xrecovery.tar in the /system/bin

using root explorer
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Edinhox:
How to set App2sd in xrecovery??
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] PMP.InFlames:
Same problem here.

The hint with the "event0" dosen't work...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Anytime1157:
is it safe if install this recovery 1st before i do app2sd??

or should i do app2sd 1st?? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Biodegradable:
not working in my mini pro :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Edinhox:
For those who can't have it work try like this

1. Download and install busybox from marketplace

2. install this apk file http://www.mediafire.com/?prj83693lv94lut its the xrecovery for X10 big but install it anyway

3. download the real files for xrecovery in the first page http://www.mediafire.com/?lz6gwgohuakvbfo

4. move extract the files you downloaded to your sdcard

5. Use Root explorer to copy/move the busybox, chargemon ant the xrecovery.tar to system/bin after you done that it should work
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Biodegradable:
does this method works for mini pro?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pbezza:
I can't find busybox in the market place. Will xrecovery launch (but not function) without it? I copied files to system/bin anyway but no matter how many times I click the back button, phone boots as per normal. I even took Edinhox's advice but yielded same result over and over.

edit: Why does the package come with busybox and also advise to download it from the market?

I eventually got the market version and overwrote the existing version - Still no change.

How many times do you have to press the back button, how quickly do you press it and when do you stop pressing it? I've tried many combination to no avail.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] abhi98228:
Dnt replace busybox xRecovery needs specific version of it and while replacing files in system / bin check permissions use the busybox which is included in the package

Sent from my E10i
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] muratbaizhanov:
the same problem, installed xrexovery 0.2

launched it, clicked "install xrecovery" the 3 lines under the button install changed their icons to red circle.

placed 3 files (busybox, chargemon ant the xrecovery.tar) ti system/bin

rebooted. right after white "Sony Ericsson" appears - i click BACK button but nothing happens...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] abhi98228:
Problem seems to be with firmware try renstalling it

Sent from my E10i
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pbezza:
I ended up getting it to work by getting xrecovery.tar from the first post and busybox + chargemon from another thread (slightly different file size). Worked on first reboot.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] The Andropirate:
permissions to be set for the files

these are the permissions to be set for the three files to be moved to the system/bin folder

Trying to partition right for installation of app2sd. Done partition via recovery, checked in partition editor (gparted):

nothing changes in my fat32 partition.

Repartitioned manually, but then recovery gave to me error:

"Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/lock/mmcblk0) (invalid argument)"

Tried to run partition tools from recovery, it said, that all is okay, but nothing changed.

What i missed?

I rooted my phone, Installed XRecovery from post #1 of this thread.

Partition your SD card following the guide here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning

You need to make 2 Partitions -

Make a partition on you SD card FAT32 - Primary

Make the Second partion

Ext3

- Primary (Max 1GB Min 200MB) - Your apps will be installed here.

Then use the version of app2sd found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893568

The easiest way to install it is via XRecovery (Install custom zip option).

First boot of the phone after you install app2sd takes a while as it transfers your current apps to an Ext3 partition of your SD Card.

Hope this helps! :)

Try a name without spaces?!?!?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hoangluongvinh:
Thanks for your help. yesterday i updated my phone via SEUS, this build is 2.A.24 not 2.A.054, it can't root so i downgrade with Flash tool. Now my phone is 2.A.054 and rooted, installed app2sd but i can't move all app from phone memory to ext2 (now install auto in sdcard), external memory is 170MB free, how to move all app to ext2 like you, i want 218MB free... Can you help me?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] deano309:
In all honestly, I wouldn't recommend moving everything to SD for 1 main reason:

The SD is removable and if you connect it to the PC it will crash apps out since the phone cant access them - if you copy your running system apps then your phone will be unusable!

I have 168MB space in my phone after a factory reset (I have removed unwanted apps via Root Explorer too) which is more than enough for me!.

You can manually move items from /system/app to /data/app and then reboot the phone but PLEASE pay attention to the advice I have given above!

:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hoangluongvinh:
BIG thank for you :)

My phone is working perfectly now ......
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Anytime1157:
okay..i got my recovery working..

it's cool! :D

but any idea, why at the bottom of the main menu, it's written

E:Can't open /tmp/recovery.log ??
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] HaoZeke:
Somehow.. i'm sure i'm doing something wrong here... I just copied the files to my sd card.

and then copied them into the bin folder using my root explorer... I did not extract the xrecovery.tar though....Please help asap.

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
dude as you copied the files you need to set the permission of the files too.......

Like got o the files in bin folder and click on permissions.....then provide them Read,Write And Execute permissions to current user.THis will make your files accessed by the Android Firmware or system.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] deano309:
Also, make sure that you have R/W privelages for the /system/bin folder! (Root explorer doesn't let you know if it didn't copy the files!) :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] brunossj:
I don't rename any folder, even using the advanced restore i got md5 mismatch
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Drey.Tee:
Works nice, Thank you!

1) "How?

Press BACK button few times right after white SE logo appears."

I tested. you can press only one time right after white "SONY ERICSSON" words appears

2) and it will be useful to add an option to partition sd-card for app2sd in 1 click (500Mb ext3 with 4096 block-size and other space is fat32)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] deano309:
Ummm.... I stand corrected... I have just done a clean install, removed some useless apps and installed app2sd and dc2sd and now I have 205MB free on the phone memory. (I am lucky enough to have a fast SD card)

Seems the cache takes up about 40MB!!

After reinstalling JIT, my benchmark results are the same as before so nothing lost and 40MB gained!

xrecovery files gone

edit: deleted!

was a small problem solved my myself
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xnomox:
My xRecovery was installed without problems but when I do a backup of my phone the backup would sometimes stop or just restarts the phone without finishing the backup. I will look at the xRecovery backup folder but the system.img file is 0 bytes. In other instances the xRecovery will just freeze while backing up. It will freeze during backup of system or it will freeze during backup of data. When it freezes I have no option but to remove the battery and restart the phone. Does anybody know what the problem is or if anyone has experienced this?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xnomox:
I solved my problem.

The problem is in the sdcard. I was using my old sdcard to hold the backup of my phone and it probably can't handle the write speed. I switched to my current sdcard and I did a normal backup and restore. I'll just have to copy the backup to the old sdcard so the backup won't be using any space to my current sdcard.

Noob unable to install

Hi everyone,

I'm a complete android noob. I've played around with Windows Mobile and flashing roms on that, but as I've found in the past week or so I have lots to learn with android!

I have managed to root me X10 Mini E10i. I have downloaded and extracted the 3 files and copied them over to /system/bin. I've changed the user permissions to match the other files in the /bin folder. I just can't seem to get anything to happen when I hit the back button.

I've followed Camogyp's tips on checking which Event receives an output response, and it is in fact Event1 as per the original chargemon.

No matter how many times I hit that back button I'm not getting anything.

What am I doing wrong? I downloaded and extracted the xrecovery files on a Windows XP machine with 7Zip. I didn't get any errors during extraction.

I'd appreciate any other suggestions you guys have.

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nishan432:
Yes;-) at last I get my xrecovery. Now I have Iridium rom.

I already have a file called chargemon in /system/bin should I overwrite this file?

This is on a rooted mini pro - with JIT installed - but that's the only thing I've done with the phone apart from rooting.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
dude take these file an then overwrite them(with the help of root explorer).....then set the permissions of all the three files as Read,Write and Execute.(Don't forget to Mount in RW mode in Root Explorer)......Reboot ....and enjoy!!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] teapea:
So what did the original chargemon do?

The current chargemon on my phone is totally different to this one.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
i think its got technical support to system when its about to boot.....Not so sure :confused: ....I only knowthat...if you want xRecovery to run then you have to overwrite this file too
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] death_syndrome:
.

.

nothing happens . . i reboot the phone .. press the back button a million times when the sony ericsson white logo appears . . and there i go with a normal boot . . 'm rooted using superoneclick . . everything is installed EXACTLY as instructed
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chalon:
I'm in this boat too. I've installed everything, have rooted using z4root, running a vanilla nordic 2.1 rom, but nothing is happening for me either.

can't install it because can't move files. because can't give permission to do it.

Use root explorer.

i need free app.

edit: got android mate, pasted files where they belong to be,but when trying to launch xrecovery while booting android,nothing happens
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Here's the Root Explorer its a bit older but able to do its job.........

Download the files given below and follow the steps given in the first post of this thread.........Don't forget to set the permissions of files as Read,Write And Execute.....(Click and hold on specific file,select permissions and select for each current user permissions of all three files)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
I did search the forum for the answer for this and it has been asked before by other people but no one has answered it.. so...

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what the difference is in xRecovery between..

Install Update.zip

Install Custom.zip

What happens if we install an Update.zip with the Custom.zip option and visa versa? :confused: any difference?

I'm just finding that lots of Roms/Themes are asking you to rename their file to update.zip and put it in the root of the SD card, problem is then you don't know which update zip is for what theme.. I want to stick them all in a Theme folder and name them what ever the theme is called.. e.g gingerbread.zip, Xtreme.zip, Black.zip... and install them with the custom.zip option..

Cheers.

Guys I am using Android version 2.0.2.A.0.24.I am rooted with SuperOneClick and I use BusyBox 1.16.0 installed with TitaniumBackUp pro.I have set the permissions as told,but when the white logo appears and I press back button,nothing happens,and goes straight to the password menu.

Does anyone has any idea whats going wrong??

backup and restore doesn't work in my recovery!!

backup doesn't seem to complete, and when i use the recovery, i got md5 mismatch..

what's seems to be the prob? any idea?

thanks in advance

What does it say when you try to backup?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Anytime1157:
ermm..

well, it just went poof and went back to the main menu..is that normal??

when i try to restore, the MD5 mismatch error thingy pops out!

*did i mentioned that on the bottom of the main menu, i got this 'E:Can't open /tmp/recovery.log' ??
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xnomox:
Have you tried using a different sdcard? The backup it created might have been corrupted, hence the MD5 mismatch error. And don't try to rename the backup folder it created.

Another possible reason that the backup won't finish is that it cannot successfully write to your sdcard. Try using a faster sdcard with higher class rating.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chalon:
Hi,

Can you please let us all know what you did differently with the unrar process to get it working? I believe there's a few of us in the same boat.

I'm running 7zip on a Windows XP 32 bit machine and have no issues extracting the files, but there obviously is some difference in the extraction process.

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
Stupid question.. but do you have enough room on your SD card? (depending on how many apps you have installed.. you will need around 300MB+ free) for a backup. (if you don't have the space it will create a broken Restore file)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
I change all my backup files to say what they are.. e.g, Gingerbread-full-install-JIT or Stock-install-with-no-apps as long as you use no spaces in the name you can rename them. :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Anytime1157:
i have more than that for sure..

but somehow the backup just creates a folder with nothing inside, there's supposed to be something right?

EDIT : Solved! Redownloaded the package and extracted them using 7-zip. Noticed difference in the file size(the xrecovery.tar to be exact!). And now i got it working! Thanks for your help anyway! =)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Anytime1157:
im using a class4 sdcard currently..

is that enough??

What does the factory reset on this do?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chalon:
OK, I have managed to get it working.

I decided to explore the 'unrar' process a bit more. I was previously running 7zip 9.17. I have a Windows XP 32 bit machine.

I downloaded the latest version of 7zip, which is 9.20. Then I downloaded the package again in the 1st post, extracted the package and followed the steps again making sure the permissions were set correctly. I now have a working xrecovery and am about to explore some new ROMs!

xRecovery contains only 2 files: chargemon (it replaces original one), xrecovery.tar + busybox (it can be installed separately from the Market). These files located in

/system/bin

directory, so if you need to completely remove xRecovery simply remove xrecovery.tar, modified chargemon and restore the original, remove temp dir

/data/local/tmp/xrecovery

and backup dir

/sdcard/xrecovery
