[Q] Problem: "can't find recovery partition" when flash_image - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone is là Sony Xperia X8 android 2.1.
When i type "flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.3.1.img" in "terminal emulator", it appear: "can't find recovery partition".
It is so unreasonable because i copied the file "cm-recovery-1.3.1.img" in root sdcard.
Please help me.

Why is it unreasonable? We cant flash custom recovery yet, only xRecovery which runs by boot hijacking...

What does xrecovery mean? Could you explain more clearly for me?
I want to devide my sdcard into 2 part, then i use app2sd to install farmware in sdcard.

RECOVERY partition is NOT present in xperia devices. Recovery is stored in BOOT partition. So if you want the CWM recovery on your Xperia X8, then you need to flash your device with a custom boot.img with CWM recovery included in it.

but how to installe it?and how i can use nandroid backaup to get the first rom
Okay, back to basics:
1. Root your tattoo (this is the one click method)
2. Get the flash_image binary, upload it to your device and flash Amon_RA recovery image:
Code:
# /path/to/flash_image/flash_image recovery /sdcard/Amon_RA_recovery.img
Don't forget that you need root-priviledges for this
3. Download any ROM and put it on your SD card.
4. Shutdown your Tattoo and press FIRST Home-Button and then Power Button...you'll get into recovery mode and you can backup, restore, flash an update.zip and so on
Next time you can use the search feature or take a look at the sticky topics here - they are very self-explanatory

Try to mount system in that temp cwm. Or install cocore, and you will have permanent cwm.

I can enter fastboot...Thanks for the advice:good:
hey!
Download CyanogenMod 10.1. then download this recovery CWM
when downloaded copy it to your ADB+FASTBOOT location and make sure your device is in FASTBOOT USB mode. then open CMD window there and type fastboot flash recovery recovery(press tab to auto fill) then press escape
It is says OKAY the click on Bootloader on then select reboot recovery and should reboot into recovery and try mount usb storage to computer from MOUNTS AND STORAGE
Before flashin aby rom, check ur hboot version.
Now, in ur case, copy out ur downloaded rom. Den extract the vold.fstab file (only dat file) located at /system/etc. Open it in a text editor (notepad or notepad++) and look @ d last line.
If u r using hboot 1.28 or 6.28, it should read "sdcard 34"
If u r using hboot 1.25 or 6.25, it should read "sdcard 33"
Save and copy back into d zip file.
Since u cannot access ur memory currently, boot ur fone into recovery and mount sd storage. Copy d now modded zip file to d root folder and flash.
Your internal storage is now visible.
Also, if u have already flashed d rom, u can get a root explorer and navigate to that file and edit it from there, then reboot your phone.
