Root Ginger Break,Superuser, now what?

I wouldn't worry about that right now, an outdated su binary will still function for our needs here. That can be fixed later.
 
Now I don't want to screw this up so please bare with my questions that I know you guys have answered numerous times.
Right now in the Terminal Emulator I am on :flash_image_recovery_/sdcard/"recovery.img"(return)
Before I hit enter I want to make sure I am supposed to change it to "vrecovery.img"?
*IHOrecovery.img- changed to vrecovery.img, right? (I did not do anything to this file except change the name. Is it ready to go or am I supposed to do something first? Not familiar with .img whereas at least I know about zip files ;)
 
No, change it to the name in the code, recovery.img
or change the code to vrecovery.img
 
That's fine Sewster, it doesn't really matter what you named it to, so long as you type the file name in the command the same. You could name it dogbutt.img and you'd be fine as long as you entered the command with the same name, like so:
flash_image_recovery_/sdcard/"dogbutt.img"
 
Thats a much better explanation, albeit a explanation I'd rather not visualize. Lol

You can rename the recovery to vrecovery.img

Ok,so the IHOrecovery.img that I downloaded to my sdcard I changed to vrecovery.img(as per AndyOpie150's instructions.
On the Emulator I will enter:flash_image_recovery_/sdcard/"vrecovery.img"(return)
Right? I am using/changing the IHOrecovery and not the xioniarecovery.img, correct?
 
Now if there is an error in one of these steps, do I have to start all over or with just the code that was entered wrong? My "vrecovery" was in the downloads folder of the sdcard.
 
Correct the xionia recovery is so you can get out of a recovery loop should you ever do something to cause one. It will need to be version EDIT: 12518.4, I forgot your running 2.2.1
 
what the.....error writing recovery: No space left on device. Nooooooooo :(
So I take it I am on the right track, I just need to get rid of everything on my phone to free up space. Right? How much is needed? I have 32.48 MB
 
Open up ES file explorer and navigate to /system/bin make sure Busybox is there.
If not there check /system/xbin
 
You need to navigate to the /system/bin. You should be asked to mount rw before you can get into system.
let me just download ES so I can help you navigate thru it.
 
when i open up busybox installer it says that it is not installed. it fails to copy to system/bin
I downloaded ES however am familiar with bluetooth file transfer manager and that is how I found it.
 
Ok go to menu/ settings /
File settings- show hidden files
View - Details
Home Directory - delete till you only see /
Root Explorer- check box
Mount File System- check box
 
When done restart app. Scroll to system folder/bin and find su
the permission should read: rwsr-sr-x
