Ok ozzy1212. I think Im getting close to putting xrecovery on. I have the files sitting on the SD card and the phone is rooted plus I have Root Explorer on.

I cant copy move the files tho to System/Bin because the attributes are read only. You have a picture there of you doing it but I have no idea what the program is and i know i dont have it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
Root Explorer has a Mount R/W toggle...

just click on it and you'll have it mount the system in R/W mode...

hope that helps!:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Purplerust:
Thank you ozzy1212 for the prompt reply. That makes sense. Unfortunately my Root Explorer doesnt display that option. Nor does it give a memory size.

Maybe there are other versions and i have the wrong one. I will look for another explorer
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
I'm not aware of another one but this is what i use...

info here...Androlib - com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer

cheers!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] datagubben:
Why dont you change the files in the first post?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Xaeons:
edit: nvm got it
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] phoxy84:
Is there a way to get the files in the bin folder with ADB and without a memory card?

I deleted the files after I got the blurry screen and accidentally rebooted the phone. now my SD card doesn't mount. Don't know if there is a connection between the files and the mounting of the sd card....?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ricav:
had to restore a couple of days ago, very very easily done
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] KreAch3R:
I also had to restore yesterday, everything went fine, easier done than said.:D (with app2sd, mini pro, routed)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] datagubben:
I used it many times but now it says md5 checksum missing, what did I do wrong?

Please help!

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Skeldave:
Thanks, works really well. Any chance of this leading to gingerbread?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] donetus:
how does this work? i've press BACK a few times but my phone (rooted) just goes to the usual menu of the mini pro.

i've re-read the instructions thinking that i've forgotten a step but, i everything as told, manually installed teh files in the /system/bin folder. switched off the phone. saw the SE logo and press BACK a couple of time but no go.

did i miss anything ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10bravia:
its actually the white "sony ericsson" label. not the logo.

start pressing the back button after the phone vibrates after you turned it on.

when you've reached the logo, you already missed it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] datagubben:
@donetus, did you change event1 to event0 in the chargemon file?

Sent from my U20i
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] donetus:
nope but while i was waiting for someone to answer, i was reading some of the previous posts here.

i had to download both busybox and chargemon from a different link that was provided. after which, xrecovery's working :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zdzihu:
Fixed the event0 issue. Thanks for everybody who pointed that out :)

Cheers,

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] datagubben:
Suddenly it dosent work anymore, I cant backup nandroid.md5 anymore?!

Now I can not make restore anymore, only the old backup works.

Help help! :o
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bavo:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lonelybear:
when i enter the xrecovery it show "Zdzihu's xRecovery mini-alpha".

is this correct?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] norrie2204:

b4 i go any further id like to be sure,i already have busybox on my sd card from titanium backup,do i delete or overwrite that one with the busybox supplied in the first post,,sorry if this is a silly question but i really have no clue,,,and thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bavo:
Tried what you said and checked all permissions but still wont go into xrecovery after tapping the back button upon boot, should i try uninstalling busybox ? also some people say event1 works but others say event0 confused
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lonelybear:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] baunegaard:
I have installed 2.0.2.A.0.24 prerooted firmware and xRecovery seems to work but mine also shows 'xRecovery mini-alpha' and still says when replacing the 3 files with the one from this thread. Is this correct? Or is it old version?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bavo:
Tried that still wont work...... Help please
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] donetus:
it also says xrecovery mini alpha when i downloaded the file in the first post even though an update has been made .. maybe he just forgot to edit the title.

but regardless, the program's working so i'm good .. :)

Can't get into the xrecovery console!

Hey all!

I've been trying to install xRecovery on my mini pro for the last two days with NO luck! My mini pro is rooted and has busybox installed.

1.Tried the xRecovery installer app,when i tap on "Install xRecovery" nothing happens.

2.I Manually tried to copy the files,and rebooted with a hope of getting into it,but still i cant get into xRecovery.:(

Somebody help!

Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bavo:
Got exactly the same problem, tried alsorts

Let me know how u get on ta
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Necrodaemon:
Nice, work in my U20a ...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shivenjuneja:
which xrecovery you using aravind_r ??
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] norrie2204:
hi sorry to ask same question twice but ive had no response for 3 days,,i already have busybox file on the root of my sd card that came with titanium backup, do i overwrite this with the busybox in the opening post,,as soon as i copy to sd i get that option to overwrite,,please could someone answer,,any advice is greatly appreciated
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] donetus:
the three files (busybox, chargemon and xrecovery.tar) can be temporarily placed in the sd card. then you can use Root Explorer to transfer those 3 files to the /system/bin folder of your phone.

don't forget to click 'Mount R/W' when you're in the /system/bin folder. by default, the /system/bin is set to R/O (read only)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] norrie2204:
as soon as i copy the files to sd card im asked if i want to overwrite busybox thats there from titanium backup,or to have busybox (2) do i overwrite the one from titanium backup? thanks for response
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] necrohades:
of course you have to 'overwrite' the existing one. also, i think you have to change the permission of each, before moving/overwriting it to the /system/bin/
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bavo:
I have an idea that I dreamt last nite lol, instead of coping the files from sd to system/bin, maybe u need to copy them to system/ first and then MOVE them to system/bin gonna try that shortly. as its stated on here with themes etc u need to move them not copy them

Latest news Installed titanium back up, then installed busybox from that after uninstalling old version. Then did what I said above with the files and it now works perfect thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sk8droid:
i would like to get xRecovery in my x10 mini pro but what are the preventive measure do i need to do to get xRecovery work for me to install ROMs on my unit..i have rooted my phone w/ z4root and have titaium backup, busy box, root explorer installed..do i need to back up my whole system data first?? how do i do that?? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aravind_r:
The one from this very thread. I guess it is 0.1.1.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aravind_r:
Yeah,thats what I did! Tried that way it wouldnt work even then! :-/
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ayewhy:
I have tried every which way to install xRecovery and I am quite sure it has installed now but I still cannot get it to load during bootup. I even made sure when manually copying the files to give them the same permissions as the other files in the system/bin folder.

Can somebody explain clearly exactly how many times to press BACK and at what moment?

Is it possible to press BACK so many times that I end up loading and then quickly quitting it so that the normal bootup ends up happening??:confused: I am starting to suspect that is what I am doing wrong but even then, no luck so far.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] norrie2204:
i press back a few times straight after i boot up the fone,then when sony ericsson pops up i keep back button pressed and it works everytime,,theres no way you can quit recovery by pressing the back button!hope this helps a wee bit
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bavo:
Yeah I agree, had a hell of a time trying to load it, tried every possible way, but finally cracked it in the end as above, dont ask me how lol
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bavo:
You know as much as I do, dunno why it worked for me lol
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] necrohades:
when I did this, I copied the files first to /system, set permissions, then MOVED them to /system/bin.

I think there is something different with how 'copy' and 'move' are executed.

and yes, you can not exit out of xRecovery by pressing 'back' too many times.

also, try pressing 'back' after you have turned on the phone, and the responded with a slight vibrate.. even before the white sony-ericsson word appears. it might help
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bavo:
Yup agreed as stated above, believe me it took me about a week to get the bloody think going so don't give up
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kratos2342:
the new version 1.1 works just great
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TheGame316:
Awesome stuff Z. Would love to donate but considering what we are going through here in qld australia cant afford it atm. The xda app is helping take my mind of whats going on
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ayewhy:
Thanks I am trying this method now (copy>permssions>move) but my question is, what permissions have you set on the files?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bavo:
Dont touch any of the premissions, I didnt and was ok
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ayewhy:
Thanks, got it working finally :)

Here's what I did

Copied the 3 files to SDCARD

Using Root Explorer mounted R/W then copied 3 files from SDCARD to /system then MOVED from /system to system/bin

Did NOT mount back to r/o

Did NOT change any permissions

Turned phone off, waited about 10 seconds

Turned phone on, after short vibration immediately pressed BACK repeatedly until the xRecovery menu loaded
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aravind_r:
Did the same,still it doesnt work! :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bavo:
Thats exactly what I did and worked for me after I loaded titanium backup and installed busybox from the problems tab in titanium
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ramblo:
Same thing with me. Strange.

1) Installed xrecovery beta (2.0.2.A.0.504)...it says beta at boot console

2) Installed Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24[rooted]X10 Mini Pro (U20i) prerooted and xrecovery installed...its says alpha at boot console

3) Installed xrecovery beta again... (2.0.2.A.0.24) and it still says alpha at boot console.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Skeldave:
How much does this actually backup/restore?

Is it contacts/apps etc. or other things too, could you give short list please.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] peterhugelberg:
installed this today and doing a backup right now, it seems like it does a backup from the whole system
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ramblo:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it creates a "mirror" image of your ROM and state before backup. If you restore it will be identical.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] necrohades:
I have a question about how xRecovery works, I hope someone can help me out.

I was able to install it, and have it working nicely. Created a backup myself, and I have a system, data, and cache images created. I know that 'system.img' will be a backup of my system, but what are backed up with 'data.img' and 'cache.img'? Where do Contacts , SMS, and system settings are backed up? I'm not on a data plan, so it is a pain to always sync up with google, plus the default backup&restore app keeps crashing whenever I try to use it to backup system settings.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Divr:
I managed to install it and boot it up to recovery but I have problems.

First, the recovery can't mount my sd card. I tried renaming it and whatever, it don't work. My sd card is partitioned for app2sd btw (4gb card, 512 for apps, and the rest for others)

Second, since I install this, root apps stopped working. Root explorer force close everytime i open it. Titanium back up can't do its job eventhough superuser permission has been given (I've tried reinstalling), barnacle wi fi can't start the ad hoc hotspot. Please someone help me? It's not that urgent but I'm losing what's best of rooting..:(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jonthe838:
i can't get this to work..

i have putr the files in the right folder and installed the busy box but it wont boot?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hehe13:
thanks for this.. but i think someone [or two posted] that they didnt have to set/edit the permission.. will try this when i get back home.. thanks again..!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Divr:
okay, now I get that root apps is because of apps to sd. I've reinstalled and move the root apps to system and apps to get it to work. But now the recovery still won't mount the sd card. It's really suck as now the recovery is useless
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aravind_r:
Installed busybox through titanium backup,followed the steps again,restarted and tada - I'm stuck in a boot loop! :/ :( I'm going to need some help!

Ok i've been trying to get this to work for almost 4days now with no luck..

I am Getting kinda pissed off with the whole thing!

Can anyone please help me?!

What busybox should i use? 1.6 / 1.7 / 1.8 ?

And when should i press the back button? and how many times?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] donetus:
busybox is already included in the link posted at #1. you just have to copy those to the /system/bin folder.

when you see the 1st SE logo, press back a few times (not sure how many) but keep presssing until the xRecovery shows.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] skimadikal:
I manged to install it easily once I switched the two files after further reading.

Recovery worked flawlessly and I backed up my system but I can no longer access my SD card.

Ive never had apps2sd installed and I've remounted several times but no matter what I do, the phone cannot access any content.

Connecting it to the pc works fine and I can mount and unmount from within the phone, but despite being able to read how much storage space is on it, the phone can no longer read any content on it so I cannot access music or pics etc.

After removing the 3 recovery files, everything was back to normal. Any idea why this is happening?

Edit - Reformatted my SD card and everything seems to be back to normal now WITH recovery. Not sure what happened but it's all good now. Only the Mini alpha version installs which is what I guess everyone else has too.

Hi, for those that had already done the x-recovery backup, I would like to know, is there a way to delete the back-up files from the x-recovery? or can I just delete the files created in the SD Card? and if it would be safe?? I had done 2 back-ups and since it is eating up space and I don't need it any more, I think I would need to delete it..

your advise is greatly appreciated..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
just delete the files inside /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/*
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TaahirZA:
Finally, i have got xRecovery to work. Used 1 file from this thread and two files from other thread (as mentioned earlier in this thread.)

Today i reboot my phone and open the keyboard at the same time.

And wow i. Come intgo the xrecovery mode, i don't press the backbutton ore samething to, only open the keyboard.

Yes, everything will be back to factory.

Btw, what happens when you press 'format /system' :p?

Program integrity and error reporting as per below:

Its md5.checksum error togehter with a swedish app from market called: "tv.nu"

Trial and error philosophy, and after a a few trials it won't work together, please explain why?

xRecovery is only proven by hypothetical deduction and empiristic usage, a very good app indeed, but with limitations?

Somethings is wrong.

Sometimes when I do a backup, it can't make a MD5 sum.

Why?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] necrohades:
i've noticed that, after installing xRecovery, my x10 mini pro wont charge turned off anymore. as soon as i plugged the charged while my phone is turned off, it will boot all the way into the homescreen (as opposed to the stock, which will boot only up to a black screen with a big "charging" icon).

anyway to resolved this, while still keeping xRecovery?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ramblo:
Xrecovery 0.3 for the big x10 fixed this. Don't know if it is fixed for th x10 minis yet. No biggie, any reason to charge offline anyways, besides not wanting anyone to contact you?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] necrohades:
not much really. i'm just used to having my phone go turn itself off before charging, and i was kinda spooked seeing it boot up. i used to think that having the phone off while charging efficiently charges the battery :)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ayewhy:
I struggled in the same way as you did and I recommend the following:

Definitely use the version of xRecovery downloaded off the first post of this thread

Use the app ROOT EXPLORER, mount RW then copy the 3 files from SDCARD to /system

then MOVE the 3 files to /system/bin

Don't change any permission and don't take the mount RW off, press BACK to exit out of Root Explorer

Turn off the phone and wait about 15 seconds

When you turn it back on keep pressing BACK continously

Did that work?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leminhnguyen0703:
Just a quick tip, beside pressing back continously, you can just hold menu button (left) as soon as se text pops up, still be able to go into xrecovery without killing my finger :)
