how to enter xrecovery? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

how do i enter xrecovery?
i have alfs06 which has CWM 5.XXX by default and GingerDx22 which has both Xrec and CWM 3.XXX
when i press Reboot and choose either XRecovery or CWM, nothing happens
(the phone restarts normally)
when i get Free Xperia Projects and press backspace, i get into CWM 5.XXX
some *.zip files require CWM 3 or Xrecovery so that is why i need lower versions.
can any1 help me?

u can try this..
normal reboot OR reboot recovery (failed)
when reboot process (on SE white logo) just keep hitting back button..
U should be fine..

i dont have SE LOGO cause i have alfs06 kernel (FREE XPERIA PROJECTS LOGO)
when i press back, i go into CWM 5.XXX

[Q] Clockwork recovery pissing my brains off!!!!

guyzz i successfully installed clockwork recovery mod using ROM MANAGER on my indian version of galaxy s GT-i9000 but when i try "reboot into recovery" the phone boots into stock recovery mod.plzzz help me out guyzz
It's not CWM you should be angry at - it's perfect. Blame the ROM Manager - try to get in CWM through the 3 button combo (Volume up + Menu button + Power button) and if that doesn't work just flash CWM with Odin.
Bro thnx for the reply .....i tried the combos it takes me back again to the stock i.e Android system recovery <3e>..
select apply sdcard : update.zip or something like that
once or twice and it should take u into CWM
otherwise as said above, flash it through odin,
Hey kartik . Can u guide me how to install cm7 on our galaxy s. I m also frm india .nplz guide yaar check ur pm
That sounds like you have a stock Kernel.....try flashing an odin version of speedmod kernel.
You have 3e recovery which does not support CWM you need to flash a kernel with 2e recovery (CF-Root) or one qwith CWM built in (speedmod)

Xrecovery unable to enter!!

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 ...

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

How to install CWM recovery

Friends.
I recently installed fde rom having cwm recovery version 3.0.2. When I tried to return to gdx 28b it gave me an error and I accepted roms option of restoring recovery and could boot to gdx. But now the issue is I don't find cwm recovery when I reboot. How do I reinstall cwm recovery without going back to stock rom?

Can you boot in ROM? If so, boot in Fde, grab x8toolbox, plug phone in pc, enable usb debugging, and install CWM or FreeXperia recovery. If you can't boot into Rom, then shut your phone off. Turn it on again, press the screen repedeatly. If CWM doesn't show up, turn your phone off again, start it, and press&hold the volume down button until FreeXperia recovery shows up. If nothing shows up, flashtool is there for flashing ftf of stock rom.

Press thanks if i helped
It is clasic problem of stock kernel.There is no way without re flashing with flashtool .
Solved. After trying many things, went back to stock and repeated everything till gdx28.
CWM for X8 Stock rom only, I meant as ur Original recovery u can't use CWM, only can XRecovery.....
I Saw that from web and I didn't believe it that time, so i installed CWM on a custom rom then it stucked at SE Logo.....
u only can use CWM come with custom roms, but some roms don't work it
