Is it possible to install on CWM Recovery on an xperia x8 e15i on linux (Ubuntu specifically). The only way I've found of installing CWM Recovery so far is using the RecoverX tool in windows, but that tool doesn't load on Ubuntu as far as I know.
hello xda people,i thought i might share this with you since i've tested and done it myself about rooting kitkat eu update.My bootloader was factory locked and proceeded unlocking it and i barely managed to install Hazou's unoficial twrp recovery(see this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2278483) wich was done via fastboot,but mostly even after the custom recovery install i didn't managed to get root on kitkat,so i've tried ChainsDD superSU update pack witch seems to resolve the problem because the update package installs the propper package according to system specs,so if anyone there wishing to root or doesn't quite figure out,here's an simple how to:
1Make sure you have all the drivers installed.
2install or download android sdk
3 from the sdk,copy on your desktop platform-tools (for easier job)
4 download recovery image from Hazou thread,see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2278483 extract and place it on platform-tools folder you copied on your desktop
5in platform-tools folder open cmd line and enter your phone in fastboot
6type "fastboot devices" without quotes
7 if your device is listed,type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8now after cmd confirms if the flash was succesfull, either head to recovery from fastboot mode and see if twrp is installed,if it does keep your phone connected to pc
9 download chainsDD superSU update to external sd,link to download https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8m4rdNFVU4_YjV4X2gtUjNhZVE/view?usp=sharing
10 install via twrp,wipe davik+cache, reboot and enjoy
You can get the latest CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP from here. It has x86 support and works on the Razr i.

I like this method, you're always left with a fallback or the option to the Rom flash again or use an alternate when using recovery, I've started to prefer TWRP over clockwork recently

First you should unlock your bootloader, otherwise your phone will be bricked. Next, are you sure you installed the drivers correctly? On Windows 8 and above you have to disable driver signature, otherwise the drivers simply won't be installed.
When all that done you could try to enter fastbood mode via flashtool. Make sure you're using an old version, as the newer don't really support the Z.
