Root Serious Issue - xrecovery is suddenly clockworkmod

[ojkolsrud]

HALP!

My phone just went black, and when i turned it back on after taking battery in and out, xRecovery is gone, and I now have clockworkmod for X10 Mini for some reason! ... i have X8.

I can't reboot through CWM, it says that "ERROR: Current recovery seems bad!"

Also I'm guessing xR-files are different from CWM's, so the backup I had using xR probably won't work. What do? I don't wanna brick this.

Prior to this error i just installed a few apps. A few that I can think of are; Dropbox, Clockr (clock widget) and Screenshot. Last one needed SU-admissions, it may be that.

Please help.

Cheers

Solved!

I took a chance on rebooting, and was able to enter xRecovery and reboot from there.

Next question - where did clockworkmod come from?

Please advice...

Hi,

ClockWorkMod is installed by your custom rom when you flash your phone.

If you tap the screen a few times when sony ericsson appears to go to CWM. To go to xrecovery just tap the back button at sony ericsson screen. You can use either.
