Root [NEW SKOOL] Install and Use xRecovery

Ok, i have superuser i have xrecovery installer and root explorer. Problem is : when i use root explorer and mount with the r/o option in the bin folder i cant see any file called xrecovery.tar there. And if i use xrecovery installer all three files that xrecovery should have installed they all get the error ring on the left side and the error is : cant find fdsync or something like that.
 
i figured it out. thanks! this guide is really useful. i have upgraded my version to 2.3.5. but when i go into xrecovery and restore my files, it goes back to the old version. how come? isnt it suppose to restore my old applications etc to the new version which is 2.3.5 ?

Hi,

After you install the custom rom you do not go back to xRecovery to try and restore your apps. xRecovery restores the ROM you have backed up including the apps.

You need to reinstall all your apps again if you have not used an app like Titanium Backup to backup your apps.

cheers :)

Hi,

This is a "new skool" method of installing xRecovery to Xperia X8

DISCLAIMER: Please use the info below at your own risk with no warranty of any kind.

IMPORTANT:
Xperia X8 must be E15i [NOT E15a]
Xperia X8 must have the latest firmware: Eclair 2.1.1.A.0.6
Xperia X8 must be ROOTED - use SuperOneClick
Xperia X8 must have Busybox 1.1.7 installed (from Android Market - it's free)

IMPORTANT Note for BusyBox
What you have downloaded from Android Market is the BusyBox Installer
After you get the app from the Android Market you still need to <launch> and <install> BusyBox

NOTE:
E15a has UMTS/HSPA 850/1900/2100
E15i has UMTS/HSPA 900/2100
If you have E15a and use <xRecovery_E15i_installer.apk> you will lose 3G/GPS/GSM services.

DOWNLOAD:
xRecovery.E15i.installer.zip

METHOD:
Step 1: Download, unzip, copy to SD Card and install <xRecovery_E15i_installer.apk>
Step 2: Reboot and when the words Sony Ericsson appears on startup <multiple click> the back button.

xRecovery USAGE:
Select Buttons = Volume Up & Volume Down Buttons
Enter Button = Home Button
Back Button = Back Button

To BACKUP your Xpedia X8's current ROM
select <backup and restore><backup> from the menu

This will create a backup file in your SD Card <SD/xRecovery/backup>
You can copy this backup file to your PC for safe keeping and at a later date copy it back to your SD card </xRecovery/backup> to restore

To RESTORE from a backup of your current ROM
select <backup and restore><restore> from menu & select the <file_name>
