I installed Rom Manager and chose backup current rom. It installed ClockworkMod Recovery and successfully made a backup. I need to know two things and I couldn't find how.
First of all, when I use 3 button combination to boot into recovery I see the default 2e recovery screen, nothing new. Is this normal? My device had 3 button combinations disabeld and I used 3-button combo fix to fix it.
Second, how can I remove/uninstall Clockwork Recovery? I want to keep the phone as original/intact as possible if it needs to go to service.
Normaly the Clockworkmod create a Update.zip and when u go into the recovery Mod and choose apply update.zip he loads the clockworkrecovery..! Hope this was your Question...!

You mean every time I need to run Clockworkmod Recovery I need to run its update.zip at normal recovery?
There are 2 Ways to get into The Clockwork Recovery
1. Over the Rom Manager (but i think there u also must apply the update.zip)
2. Apply Update Zip in "normal" Recovery..
And yeah you must apply it every Time u want to get into this Recovery..
Well that clears up how to uninstall it, no need for it
Thanks for the help.
my 3 button recovery mode is working. however, i need to disable verification so as to install roms from the SD card. hence, i installed rom manager to use clockworkmod. i flashed clockworkmod recovery, and then chose the option to boot into clockwork mod recovery. however what appears on the screen is exactly the same as my normal 3br combo! no extra options whatsoever that clockwork recovery is supposed to provide. what did i do wrong?

You need 2e recovery in order to flash any unsigned ZIP files.
Flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 using ODIN and then you can flash any ZIP files. You will also be able to enter CWM recovery.
Hope this helps.
oh lol thanks!
i recently rooted my x8 and installed xrecovery, but now i want to try MiniCM7 ROM that need cwm recovery to be installed...so i want to ask that, is it possible to install both xrecovery and cwm recovery in a single ROM and if its not, then how can i install cwm recovery now!! plz help me! thnx!!
Yes, you can have both, this is included in every custom ROM, to have it on stock ROM, just search for "Dual Mode Recovery" in our X8 forum.
It´s very easy to install.
Hi, i just want to install gingerdx, but i have cwmrecovery. so i wanted to install xrecovery. i tried dualrecovery, but i couldnt install it. How can i install xrecovery even that i have xrecovery installed? Or, how can i install gingerdx with cwm recovery?
I think it is okay to have those two recovery programs.
Try installing xRecovery from start.

tried to use xrevcovery to install froyopro today but i cant enter xrecovery , when i see the SE i spammed back but it just hangs the phone so i remove the battery and tried again for like 5 times but nothing happened , then i try to enter my gingerdxx fearing it might got corrupted but it's still fine ...but why cant i enter xrecovery?
Really? I couldn't enter xRecovery too when I was on GDX v018, v019 and v020.
Just install another CWM ROM if you can enter CWM.
but iwas able to use xrecovery just a few days / hours ago ..and now i cant ..is there a prolbem with my xrecovery? i cant enter CWM also and ccwm (installed version ) don't have x8 option in it's list T.T ...without xrecovery i cant backup my phone anymore!! is there any alternative or solution? just wondering ...is there a diff between xrecovery and cwm?
tohno ... since you wrote in another thread that you installed ROM Manager ...
ROM MANAGER IS NOT MEANT FOR THE XPERIA X8!
This program is ONLY for genuine CyanogenMod ROMs on a selected range of devices... so... that should actually answer your question why you can't select the X8 in the list of devices.
As for being unable to enter xRecovery ...
a) GingerDX comes with Dual-Recovery by default. This means that BOTH, xRecovery and ClockworkMod recovery, are already installed. You DO NOT need to manually install any of them ... if you do, or did, you will only wreck the installed ones.
b) xRecovery does NOT work on the LinuxDX kernel, and will most likely also not work on all the other custom kernels as well as they don't have xRecovery built into the kernel but only CWM.
Conclusion: If you're on GingerDX and already messed around with the recoveries ... re-flash GingerDX and full-wipe.
If you're on Stock 2.1.1.A.0.0 or 2.1.1.C.0.0 use Flashtool to inject xRecovery into the ROM.
EDIT: Another reason why xRecovery may not work... any chance you messed with busybox?
If you updated the default busybox version that ships with GingerDX - or the original xRecovery installation - you may face problems!
confused a little...but i was able to enter recovery many times before when i was still using GDX
abou a) well i need xrecovery to install GDX in the 1st place...so it's a must for me to install xrecovery
b) i never messed with the kernel!
so i guess i have to reflash then...but how to or what is reflash?? is it means i have to do the xrecovery process all over again?
Depends on what you did ...
If you somehow messed around with the files of the recoveries in your current GingerDX (or whatever else) ROM installation you better re-flash GingerDX (or whatever ROM you're currently using) to undo the changes you may have done to the OS. This means: reboot into CWM and simply re-flash update-GingerDX-v020.zip
i cant even enter CMM!! i click reboot to CWM but then it just reboots like normal ...
help plz i really need to enter CMW and xrecovery ...

hey guys, I got a small problem. I want to restore my data onto a new ROM without restoring system settings. Is this possible using xrecovery? Because when I restore data, even the system settings I had on my previous ROM gets restored, and I can't change the setting manually on the new ROM because it doesn't have that particular function in the new ROM.....thanx in advance
