[RECOVERY][5/6/11] ClockworkMod Recovery for X10mini / X8 - 3.2.0.0-r3 - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

This is ClockworkMod Recovery (v.3.2.0.0) ported to work on X10mini / X10mini pro / X8
Introduction
ClockworkMod Recovery is the default recovery option by the CyanogenMod, it has several additional features over plain old xRecovery and uses Edify exclusively:
CyanogenMod said:
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

Despite the non-support for Amend scripts, it's the future of Recoveries and cooks should get used to this kind of scripting when making their zips.
Update:
CWM 3.2.0.0-r3 introduces two new features that validate and restore the currently installed recovery and it's deps before reboot / shutdown. If the current recovery doesn't appear to be correct, it will prompt for a recovery restore option that at least guarantees that the phone can boot into recovery. This is NOT:
- a way to make any ROM that you installed boot
- an idiot proof mechanism (e.g. if you are prompted and omit restoring, you are on your own)

Usage
When booting your phone and when the 'Sony Ericsson' letters appear, press and release continuously the 'back' button.
Once you are in the CW recovery, use the volume keys to navigate upwards / downwards, the 'home' or camera button key to select, the 'back' key to go back.
Requirements
Stock 2.1 ROM
Busybox from the market
Root
Installation
EITHER:
If you have xRecovery: Flash the CWM recovery Amend zip
OR:
If you have a previous version of CWM Recovery: Flash the CWM recovery Edify zip
OR:
If you don't have a recovery installed, using Root explorer: manually extract any of the above CWM recovery zips and copy the contents of the system folder (system/bin and system/xbin) to /system, then give 755 permissions to those files, especially to /system/bin/chargemon, or you'll get bootloop.
Notes to everyone
Do NOT use this recovery if you are not in Stock 2.1 firmware. If you have a custom ROM, your cook should incorporate this to his ROM first
Notes to Devs/Cooks
To incorporate this to your ROM, extend the chargemon file to contain the needed part required in order to boot your ROM, the rest of the files need no changes.
Switch to Edify when giving updates for your ROMs. Search xda and google for that, there are plenty of resources out there. E.g: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936175
Also use the attached update-binary which is modified and tested to work correctly with this recovery.

That means you should bother the dev of your ROM.

And also check the MiniCM7 thread

Nobody.... I have one question. Though my phone gets stuck up in SE screen the CWM recovery works fine and shows up on repeated pressing of back button. Now once you upload the rectified ".zip" file can I not reflash it with CWM recovery and boot my device normally instead of going through the entire process of updating through SEUS?

---

This seems great as with all your work. May I bother you enough to make it work with MiniCM6, as the one you posted effed up my cellphone?
Keep up the great work, nAa

Hi,
This thread is for Stock 2.1 ROMs only.
At the state you are, you need to reflash with SEUS and restore with xrecovery.

Good Thing I reverted Back to 2.1 ..
One question, If we use xRec and Flash it, will xRec be removed?

---

Is backward compatible with xRecovery? I mean themes updates and Backups made for xRecovery will work?
