[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Asdoos:
Just download the zip file below and extract the 3 files on your SDcard. Go into root explorer on your phone and copy the 3 files in the folder: "\sytem\bin\" Restart phone and enjoy xRecovery ;)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Boshe:
@Evander

Just followed the tutorial and xrecovery was working. I was having problems because I was not pushing the Back button when it need. :)

Help

Need some help i am fully rooted and got x8 recovery to work but when i go to flash the zip file from the sd card it doesn't show up anything i am doing wrong???

i've managed to backup and restore it just fine
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] oawalker:
anyone know why?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] racht:
Yes probably it checks system name and gets halted. Edit update script and make sure u remove such checks. Be sure to reinstall xrecovery after.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Redpik:
Can anyone explain me something? I moved all my fat32 & ext3 files to my computer, formated sdcard, made partitions and copied all files back like it was before. Except my recovery fails and boots only SE logo. Can repair it to boot right?

Thanks.

Edit: Pleasse :D

Edit: Finally fixed. Restore successful. Formated sdcard a few times. Copied all files back, deleted caches.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Nikkopt:
I was banging my head against the walls because it wasn't working for me either..

I tried lots of versions of easybox and it only worked with the one you provided, both with 2.1.1.A.0.6 and with 2.0.1.A.0.47..therefore you saved my life :P
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] thomaszq:
xrecovery still not working....

First info about my phone:

- build-number: 2.0.1.A.0.47 firmw. 2.1-update1 root with superoneclick

- installed on my phone: busybox from market, newest.

- superuser, root explorer, xrecovery installer (from

x10mini dont work on my x8)

What i did:

- first i have tried the way from this topic:

- xrecovery.tar (zipped) chargemon and busybox files add to the sdcard.

- go to root explorer in my phone, add 3 files to my sbin.

- reboot my phone, press al buttons on my phone, but the xrecovery is not

showing up.

- If i check my sbin in root explorer, the 3 files are not there.

- second try, i used xrecovery installer from x10mini

- install it, and open it, but if i click the install xrecory button, the 3 files get a

"fail" image

I hope anyone can help me, i don't know what to do now.... Please help me !

sorry for my bad english ;)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Boshe:
1. Extract that .tar archive to root on your sdcard.

2.Install Root Explorer and mount system as R/W (so you can copy that files).

-Copy that 3 files into /system/bin folder.

Reboot your phone.

After the phone light start hold the back button untill xrecovery menu appears.

I'll suggest you to use busybox that is downloading from Titanium BackUp.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] fatexo:
i did what u said

mount system as R/W

copied the 3 files to /system/bin folder using root explorer

rebooted..

then when the screen light turned on i pressed and kept the back button holded but nothin happened as usual the phone did a normal restart and i was back at the lock screen :(

i checked the root explorer for the 3 files in the /system/bin folder and the files were still there

what could be the problem ?? :confused:

am i holding the back button at the wrong time or something ??

i have the latest firmware 2.1.1.A.0.6 and have the gingerbread theme framework installed
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] romcio47:
You don't have to hold it. After the white SE logo will appear you have to PRESS IT several times until xRecovery starts
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] fatexo:
thanks.. ^^

works just fine..:D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] sovikhaque:
I think i will try on the x8. Is there anyway those 3 files can be copied without using root explorer. Is there any free file manager which will do the job. The reason for asking is the phone is in Bangladesh and i don't think it will be possible to install paid apps from there.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] slade87:
root it and use adb for it

download adb

goto cmd and into adb folder

adb push xrecovery.tar /system/bin/

etc..

after pushing files use

adb shell

su

chmod 777 /system/bin/xrecovery.tar

etc..

have fun :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] raven2000:
After much frustration I found out the xRecovery only works if I press home button instead of back button. I have E15a maybe that makes a difference.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Chris95X8:

This is not mine, but I found it useful as I don't care for the search button as a search button. By looking at the melfas-touchkey.kl in keylayout it seems that the keys can be remapped to whatever you want by simply changing them using a script editor like BBEdit on Mac or notepad++ on a PC. Mapping the search key to the camera, personally I'm getting a 30% failure rate, which isn't good, but some people aren't having the same problems.

Something to look into if you are interested.

Kudos to thatdudebutch over in the Fascinate forum for this, btw.
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidroidz:
I wondered about this as well, what do you mean failure rate? You would think remapping would be cut and dry there must be a step missing?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
By failure rate, I mean that about 30% of the time that I click the button the app closes automatically or fails to open. In the thread, there are several people who have the same problem, but others that don't. I'm not sure what the deal is, but when I get time I am going to do an adb logcat to see what exactly is happening.

[G Tablet General] terrypchan:
Has anyone figured out a way to prevent the installed News & Weather app from starting up? Startup Cleaner 2.0 doesn't seem to see the News & Weather app and the corresponding GenieRefreshService.

I'm asking because my g-tab seems to be suffering from a sleep mode battery drain issue and in the process of tracking down which apps are running I always seem to find News & Weather in the running applications list eventually, even after a force stop.

With the g-tab in airplane mode (i.e. no radios on) and then suspending into sleep mode, I'm still losing way more than the suggested 1% battery drain per hour, sometimes as high as 5% per hour!

I realized that I should also say I'm running the VegaN-1.0b3 rom.
[G Tablet General] case-sensitive:
I too am running vegan beta 3, but I have had no issue with N&W -- I just booted up my gtab and N&W was not running, and 5 min later it still was not.

The issue I think is that N&W is running not as an app, but as a service, which is probably why you have a hard time killing it. You can verify this using the app "system panel" which tells you (among other things) the android-type of an app -- active, background, service, etc.

To kill a service you need to go to setting>applications>running service and then stop it there.

BTW: I use the app "autostarts" which brings up ALL the apps that could run on start up. In my setup N&W shows up exactly once, under "widget updating". I killed it right there, and I have never seen it running on start up (until/unless I choose to run the app myself).
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
I'm not sure about Vegan, but under stock TNT, there's a Weather.apk and a News.apk in /system/app. I haven't tried, but I've assumed that if those apks were removed, weather and news would be gone?

Jim
[G Tablet General] case-sensitive:
The default alarm clock app that comes with vegan makes use of N&W; I'm too lazy/not brave enough to find out what would happen if I remove N&W and then run the clock app.

Speaking of the clock app, does anyone know how to keep it running while the gtab is put to sleep (but not turned off)? As it is the clock just stops until you wake up the gtab, making it impossible to use the gtab as a giant alarm clock.
[G Tablet General] leenypost:
Do not remove weather.apk

It will mess things up. News and Weather is is a single app... Not to be confuse with weather by itself and news by itself.

Hey Zed,

You might want to add to the Font section that you can change your LockScreen font using exactly the same method, but the font for the LockScreen is named Clockopia.ttf -- I'm sure anyone who changes their fonts will want that one changed too.

Also, on the pull command to back up your fonts, you need to add a \ after backup. I did it your way and it wrote the fonts into a file called backup. Then each time I entered it again to back up another font, it overwrote the previous one. Maybe the pull commands should also be moved up into the actual instructions instead of a footnote too, in case someone doesn't read all the way through before starting the process. It will be too late if they have already followed the instructions in their current form.

These are just suggestions, not criticism. Love the thread, thanks a lot for creating and updating it!
