[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Ive used ATT, Verizon, Sprint, allcell.......... they ALL suck worse than Tmo, so to me it is the service 1st not the phone. The samsung is pretty good phone, Think about it, if it was so bad why then aren't people running to the other phones and carriers, Cause the other phones out there aren't better that's why...... The s-2 of the vibrant 4g look to be pretty good so does the new moto phone...... But these phones when will they really hit the store ?April? and How do you like trying to get rid of motoblur (What a stupid name) I ve done the root on a moto phone and load a custom rom........ ugh barbaric So, I guess it is just one of those things dont like the Galaxy phone? look around........ find something better.... if you can
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stealthx32:
Yeah, I'm not sure why I'm so eager to get rid of it. It really does most of what I want, with nothing else much better on the market. Perhaps it's just I lost my patience w/ Samsung w/ the stream of lies they've given us in regards w/ GPS fixes and Froyo release date.

I've been running Froyo ROMs since October, but I still feel lied to in some sense.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] deano309:
I was reading these threads and couldn't find an easy installer for xrecovery on the X10i Mini (E10i).

I looked at zoz33 installer for the X10 and changed the files to suit the E10i.

So now you can just install this app and run it and it will install xRecovery :)

Requirements:

1. Phone

MUST

be Rooted.

2.

Busybox

installed (Easiest way is to install "Titanium Backup" & click on the "Problems?" button.)

If you are having problems installing: Open Root explorer (Free version here) and set /system to R/W then run the installer again! :)

NOTE:

this has only been tested on my X10i MINI (E10i) and I don't think it will work on other models (Different CHARGEMON versions?!?!).

Please comment so I know if this works or not! Thanks.​
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] andrewbuch:
Just tried it on my X10min E10i, it installed the installer then got a force close when I ran the program & clicked install..

Ran flashtool & clicked root this morning as well, it said root should be available..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] deano309:
ummm.. have you installed busybox from the market?!?!

Muspelheim for remouny job?

Hi there!

Thx for this nice work (I hope - haven't tested it yet)!!!

In case /system needs r/w remount - can muspelheim be used?

Since I don't have Root Explorer (no visa card) - I'd prefer this option..

Thx in advance!

Keep it up:D

Housefly

EDIT: Muspelheim will not remount /system as r/w - see known issue on the muspelheim homepage (sorry, but i'm not allowed to link yet)

However - I found this little app from beansoft - which appears to do the trick - for free :) - twitter(dot)com(slash)beansoft

Hope this is helpful..

I'm off to try getting Xrecovery working on the x10 mini..

Thx
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] andrewbuch:
I tried searching for it, but nothing comes up :) I am still new to this loading different software etc..

but also on flashtool from bin4ry it has an option to install busybox, I did that & it said its installed.. But after doing the root, xrecovery & busybox the phone still looks & acts & has same features as normal, no extra icons etc...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] andrewbuch:
Dont think my root worked properly. Trying it again now.. sorry
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] deano309:
xRecovery is a

Hidden

program - you access it by restarting the phone and AS SOON as the text "Sony Ericsson" appears - keep pushing the "<-" Back button. if it starts loading your boot animation then you either missed the time to push back or installation failed.

If you are not too sure on how to access or use xrecovery then please read a bit of info before you use it as it can stop your phone booting if used wrong!

:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] andrewbuch:
Cool thanks for the help.

I ran exploid root now. got titanium backup & installed busy box

then when i ran xrecovery installer, it had a message pop up saying xrecovery installer has superuser permissions.

turned off phone, turned on again & pushed back button.. & nothing happened.

Will keep trying..

thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] deano309:
You have to push it more than once, right after the "Sony Ericsson" appears.

Keep pushing it (1 or 2 times a second) :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] andrewbuch:
THANKS...

Got it working.

Thanks again :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] HouseflyOfDoom:
I didn't get this apk-version to work. - I think it's due to the superoneclick rooter. - I get the cp: not found -error.

However I got the 0.1 beta to work using the older (and free) Root Explorer - attached somewhere in this forum - can't remember where - so happy searching if you need it :-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] deano309:
cp: not found is because you don't have busybox installed (cp is the copy command).

Glad to know that you sorted something out anyway! :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] asmodea:
I got a rooted phone, whit busybox installed like u said, taping the promblem box etc .. and the system folder set to R/W whit rootexplorer, I installed the xrecovery to my phone and when I start there the 3 boxes doesn t are checked in green, and the xrecovery doesn t installed, I looked in the system/bin folders on my phone and there are copied the 3 files: busybox, xrecovery.tar and the chargemon, Any idea what is going wrong ? (sorry 4 my bad english)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tomny:
The .apk did not work for me. I followed the commands from the program screen manually in root explorer, and finally got xRecovery working. The problem was the last file, xrecovery.tar, It hasn't been copied by the script. I have busybox installed, X 10 mini 2.0.A.0.504, App2SD. Thank you :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] asmodea:
How can u write commands in root explorer, I never used it so i dont know, and I dont know how to see eventualy the sd card from the rott explorer
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dance412:
me too，it works~
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tomny:
I don't write, hold the file, select "copy", navigate to destination folder, select "paste". Also, there is a folder "sdcard" in the main directory, this is the SD card.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lanzealot:
Hey there

First, thanks alot for working on an apk for the xRecovery program :)

My problem, i cant get it to work.

1. I Rooted with SuperOneClick - worked.

2. Had Titanium Backup, so just downloaded BusyBox by using "Problems - worked

3. Installed the xRecovery.apk from Astro File Manager, program installed, had no errors.

4. Rebooted the phone, spammed the back button (3-5 clicks/second) - and i dont get the xRecovery option. Did a few times, still not getting it.

5. Tried so click the xRecovery program in the apps list, installed it again, this time it asked for Root rights, i approved - and the program shows in the "Superuser" program.

6. Tried rebooting again, tapping the back button like insane, still wont give me access?

Any ideas?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] deano309:
If the 3 files are in your /system/bin folder, then it worked.

You need to keep pressing the back "<-" button as soon as you see the "Sony Ericsson" logo (Push it 1 or 2 times a second).

If your bootscreen comes up then something is wrong.

If the 3 files are not there then you don't have R/W privelages for your /system folder or any sub-directorys.

Manual installation here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878426
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] deano309:
If your phone is rooted then navigate to /system/bin and at the top right there is a "Mount R/W" button, press it and it will set the folder to R/W.

If you are not rooted then you won't be able to open the folder.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] deano309:
the apk is an installer for a program which will install xrecovery - a bit strange but normally easier for some people than manually copying files.

Once installed - go to your programs list - there will be a program called xrecovery installer - click it! :)

you need to make sure that green ticks are in each box otherwise it wont work - if it doesnt then you need to set your system folder to R/W (See a couple of posts up! :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] alex007600:
It works with E10a? :S
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lanzealot:
I got it to work, yea - thanks :)

So bonus question. Before i apply a theme, do i have to take a backup or do a full system swipe?

If i do a full system swipe with the xRecovery, will the SE Backup and Restore build in program data be saved? Or do i need to make an online backup?

Thanks.

tHX too Much

I Install It But I- tired To Do That
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tomny:
Follow the commands from the screen you attached. You can do this manually using Root Explorer. It worked for me.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ren7on:
First of all: Thanks for the work.

I have an X10 Mini Pro rooted with Busybox installed. I install .apk and then install xRecovery. Program installs fine (tree tildes OK) but I cant get it to work.

I have tried several times the back menu button when the phone is booting. Before SE appears, just when appears, after. Pushinbg it several times but xRecovery wont launch. Any ideas? Could be something wrong? Maybe Busybox isnt the right version, I dont know. I really new in this. Just get my first Android phone with this X10 Mini Pro and I really need to install App2SD but without xRecovery is imposible. I very much appreciate any help.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tomny:
You can install App2SD without xRecovery. Look at this this thread. If you still want xRecovery, see my post above yours.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] simpleparab:
Worked for me after trying very very very much.

A big thanks.:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ren7on:
Thanks, I missed that. Im going to try that metod. Still need xRecovery to work for roms and more stuff like JIT, but at least I dont going to see that "few space in memory" warning every 2 seconds.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tomny:
If you have a failed installation using this .apk, you should have a folder named "com.zoz33.xRecoveryInstaller" in Android/data on your SD card, with 3 files inside - chargemon, busybox, and xrecovery.tar. If so, start Root Explorer, Press "MOUNT RW", navigate to sdcard/Android/data/com.zoz33.xRecoveryInstaller, press left hardware button, select "Multi-select", then select the 3 files - chargemon, busybox, and xrecovery.tar, one by one. Press "copy". Then navigate to system/bin (open "bin") and press "paste". If you receive a message, that any of the files already exists, select "replace", or "overwrite", i don't remember the warning. Reboot phone. You should have xRecovery working.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ren7on:
Thanks but as I said before the installation of the .apk goes well. Also the xRecovery installer (3 tildes OK). So the console is installed -aparently- well but I cannot access it (turn off the phone, turn it back on, press the back button like an insane maniac). I also have R/W rights in the system folders.

No idea why it doesnt launch.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tomny:
I had the same thing, please, do what I suggested above. The installation goes well seemingly. The copy of xRecovery.tar filed in my device, although I had the 3 tildes OK.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ren7on:
Ok, going to try that.

Something just did for the X10 mini pro and XDA fans. :)

Be sure to mark your /system as RW via root explorer first

press the back key a few times on the "sony ericsson" logo just after boot ( before the boot "logo" starts.

however, the old manual installation (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878426) worked.

There you go. Thanks dude.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] john_rema:
Thank you for this installer. This worked for me. What i did was root my phone via superoneclick, install Titanium Backup, had it download busybox for me and then using Root Explorer, copied the downloaded busybox from the sd card and pasted it in system/xbin. After doing this, Titanium Backup quoted "OK (busybox 1.15.3 from system)". I followed tomny's instructions onwards
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] draco_ag:
When try to run "install Xrecovery" in Xrecovery installer app i got error:

exec: cp: not found

How to fix it?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fuifuinmeimei:
hi,i cannot copy those 3 files to system/bin....pasted...but cant found it..any solution?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
^^ @draco and fuifui

you need to install Busybox (once you have installed it then open Busybox application in your app drawer and select "Install")

That should solve both your problems... (draco, cp is a busybox command.. if its not installed properly then the xrecovery installer cant use the cp command)

and root explorer needs commands from busybox to paste/copy files to system too.

Just use this..

View attachment busybox.apk

(don't forget to open the Busybox application once its installed and click on the "install" Button)

Hope that helps.

How do I boot in to the recovery?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lawgone:
Turn off your phone, then turn it back on. Once the "sony ericsson" text appears, press the back hardware button several times until the recovery screen appears.

ive installed busybox my phone is rooted but i can press <-- till im dead xrecovery wont start.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nightflasher:
had the same problems here, but rootxplorer and copy/paste helped out and after reboot and hitting <-- a very few times, xrecovery starts...cool! hope this is helpful for those who are still having probs ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
how did you install xrecovery? did you use the apk? or manually paste the files into the system/bin folder and change permissions with root explorer? (I think this xrecovery installer App is much easier for noob's) if your positive you have installed busybox properly no reason it shouldn't work.. try to install xrecovery again. (if it shows little green ticks next to the 3 files it should have worked)

dont forget, its multiple presses of the back button (once the white sony Ericsson logo appears).. don't press and hold.

Hey Guys, I know this has already been said.but I simply can't make xrecovery show up so I can choose the roms, could anyone post exactly the files and the steps that actualy worked?

I have an Xperia Mini Pro U20i

Baseband Versio M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015

Kernel Version 2.6.29 SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1

Build number 2.1.1.A.0.6

I rooted, Intalled busybox, Installed the Xrecovery for the Mini, got all the 3 icons green, but them, after the reboot, I keep pressing the <- button constantly and nothing happens...I am kinda giving up...

Anyone? Please?:(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ronaksv:
Dont give up. This is exactly what happened with me.. I tried and tried with original xrecovery app but nothing happened.

I knew there is something to be changed in the sh file because the settings for each device is different, but i could not.

Its only after this app, that i was able to get into xrecovery. Just hope that thread owner replies to your and my questions.

Thanx for the reply man, what device do you have? and what did you do? in what order?:D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] panoptica:
Thanks. I recently switched to the Mini from the Pro Version as I found I don't really need the keyboard. Rooting the Mini was not a problem, installing xrecovery wasn't either, but I needed busybox for it to make it work. All is good now. Loving this little device :)

Build number 2.1.1.A.0.6

...and I have exactly the same symptoms :(

I just can't get it work.

I have root access (by SuperOneClick) and I have BusyBox installed and I used .apk for installing xRecovery. No success... Then I copied all these files manually to /system/bin folder and I set the permissions manually but ... still no success. No matter how many times I press the back button (just after Sony Ericcsson appears) nothing happens.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rmarcus:
Yes me too, I have done everything I have found here. Is there anyone who could actually make it work? Using a Xperia Mini Pro U20i??

:confused::confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] deano309:
Hi, I didn't realise this thread was still going!

This was originally made for a 2.0.A.0.24 ROM and I don't know what changes are made in newer versions.

I no longer develop on the X10i Mini due to an incident with a child and a glass of juice! Grrrrr!

When you copy the files manually, you need to make sure that you are already rooted, already have busybox installed and that you give all the copied files the

correct permissions

else it won't work.

The permissions are:

rw-

r--

r--

Hope this helps!

My mistake. rmarcus has Mini Pro and the same symptoms.

But anyway I solved my problems. I used older xRecovery (ver 0.1) now and everything worked fine. I copied manually these three files to /system/bin folder and changed permissions. In some reason ver 0.3 does not work in my phone.

- Copy apk to SD Card

- Tap on apk and tap install

- If error, open RootExplorer and change \system to R/W

- Tap install again

- If all checks green, its ok!

- Again open RootExplorer and change permitions to chmod 777 in files busybox, chargemon and xrecovery.tar

- Reboot your phone and voilá!
