Hi,
I don't think it's possible to automatically install xrecovery.
You can find informations and tutos here :

Hope it will be useful for you.

man see
- Download and unpack the recovery package
- use Root Explorer to remount /system rw
- copy the content of the package (3 files) into /system/bin folder
this is what i have to do but how do i remount the system?
and when i copy the 3 files i got an error and the xrecovery.tar isnt copied
but the 2 other files are.

After you unpack those 3 files to sd card use root explorer to copy them into system/bin
in bin folder you have to mount r/w,there's button in right corner of the screen
after you move them,you have to set permissions for them

so the only way to do it is to buy the root explorer?
Thank you very much

guys i did everything that it said but still when the logo of SE appears the one with the icon of SE i press back and nothing is happening. Is this because i had the busybox installed from an app of the market named busybox installed?

Very probably with the busybox version you installed is NOT compatible with xRecovery, I tried different busybox, and finally got it work, hope this may help.

do i need to have xrecovery installed?

The simpliest way to install CWM is to plug your phone with debugging mode to your PC and run DMR.bat from this file. More information you'll find in this post.

Mount r/w for /system in root explorer and then copy the files over. GingerDX does not need CWM recovery, it only needs xRecovery to install. So root your x8, install xRecovery, backup phone, full wipe, install GingerDX, wipe cache and dalvik-cache and then reboot. Tada! GingerDX will be running on your phone.

Tada! MD5 missmatch? Did you know how to fix it? Thx again
Sent from my E15i using XDA App

Search for "md5 mismatch" on xda.
By the way:
When did you get this?
Because you can get this only when you flash a ROM/backup that consists of syste.img, data.img, cache.img and nandroid.md5 and GingerDX is in an update.zip, so it´s only a .zip-file that contains the /system-folder and a script that makes it flashable in a recovery, so you can´t get a md5 mismatch on this.

hey bro you need xrecovery version 0.1 and you flash it try first a Ginger DX v09 like i d then upgrade ginger dx have clockowrmod installed you can reboot in it i will post a link

Latest versions of GingerDX for X8 need CWM
and I have xRecovery installed on my stock rom. I would update first to CWM my phone and then install GingerDX v016...what I should do? I don't want to brick my phone! Anyone could explain me the correct procedure? Thanks

Flash dualboot with xrecovery then you will have cwm and xrecovery at the same time. You can find dualboot.zip from the multiboot thread

URGENT i need help!! I bed you guyss!! =(

well my english is not the best, but i'll try to explain my problem to you guys,,,, so i wanted to install the w8 launcher on my x8 so i pasted the apk on my system/app folder and reboot,, but when i turn it on again it's FC and cant do anything but pulldown the notificatons bar,,,, what i have to do? im scared i love my xperia =( help me please guys!

You managed to paste it in your system folder so I'm assuming your phone is rooted and have recovery installed, so revert to your latest back-up via Xrecovery

Or easly,copy launcher pro app to the same folder and delete w8 launcher.

if your X8 is rooted you could use adb from your pc... It's a command line but you cand do everything using it!

[GUIDE] VM HTC Desire 816 Root How-to

Hello everyone, I recently purchased the Desire 816 for Virgin Mobile, and could not find anything on rooting this device.
So... I figured it out on my own! I decided to write out a tutorial since there isn't anything out there about rooting this phone!
I'm also including a nandroid backup of my stock rooted rom if you don't want to go through all of the steps. You will still need custom recovery.
1. Unlock your bootloader, install custom recovery, and flash superuser. I used v_superuser's guide for this, so thanks to him!
Use his guide to install custom recovery and root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775801
The custom recovery he links to isn't made for the VM variant of this phone, but it works!
Now you can restore my clean install, rooted nandroid backup (link at end of post) if you don't want to do the following steps and still have full root.
2. Hopefully you were able to successfully install custom recovery and root.
Now this part is a bit tricky. Even with root HTC is stopping us from writing to system. For this we need to apply the wp_mod.ko module.
Download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707378
Copy this file to the root of your internal storage.
Now download Terminal Emulator from play store, run it and enter the following commands (you only need to do this once):
su
insmod /sdcard/wp_mod.ko
Once you do this go into your favorite root explorer and mount as R/W. Copy the wp_mod.ko file to /system/lib/modules
Now go to /system/etc and find install-recovery.sh. Open it with a text editor and add a new line at the end with the following:
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
Reboot! If all went well the wp_mod module will run at boot every time so you won't have to do it manually each time!
Congratulations, you now have a fully rooted Desire 816!
Download my nandroid backup here (place the contained folder into the CWM backup directory):
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B0bhyG2E55hXaWtpeGVQaEpOVzA&export=download
Hope this helped anyone wondering how to root the device!

I'm not trying to offend with my answer. Just going for the easiest solution first...
Did you unzip the backup nandroid onto your PC? I imagine he zipped the actual Nandroid folder as it would have a date and time as the name.
If you unzip VM_HTC_Desire_816_Rooted_NandroidBackup.zip you SHOULD see a folder with a date and time. That is the actual nandroid that you'd copy to your Clockwordmod backup folder.

Also...
The act of unlocking the phone clears out your data so you might notice that your flashlight and calculator apps are missing. For some reason HTC didn't make those 2 system apps.
If you'd like them back, here you go.

problems with the mod.ko
everything works until I get to the wp_mod.ko command when using the terminal command. It just says cannot open. I tried countless times but it says the same thing. Is there any other way?

If you're having too much trouble and are about to give up you can always download Kontrary's Nandroid backup. I didn't use it but I did look through it and it looks like he already did the write protect mod in it.
Just unzip it on your PC and put the dated folder in your clockworkmod/backup folder. Boot into CWM recovery and restore from his nandroid.
Out of curiosity... Are you hitting enter after SU and before insmod???
Also...
The command insmod /sdcard/wp_mod.ko is only good if you have wp_mod.ko sitting on the root of the internal sd. If its on your micro sd card you'll obviously have to change the path after insmod or just move it to the internal sd..

thanks

Have you plugged it in while in Fastboot? Which OS are you running? I'm on Win 7 x64 and have it set to download drivers from Windows update, I didn't have any problems going that route.

Have you downloaded HTC Sync Manager? It has the drivers required for your PC to recognize your phone.

I installed your CWM Backup after I couldn't figure out your steps... but now there's an ANNOYING notification that says, "Smith disabled... Click here to open." I open it, and no matter what settings I choose, this notification keeps POPPING UP! Is this your doing, or a known issue with this "Mod." All I wanted to do was uninstall all the Google/VM Bloatware. Now going back to stock might be the only fix... ????

That Smith app is a problem for most recent HTC phones. It has nothing to do with the CWM backup. It happens with the M8 and our 816.
I just long press the notification, click App Info and force close. It's usually good until you reboot your phone.
Either HTC or Sprint is supposed to be looking for a fix but who knows.

I was able to stop this annoyance by simply going to Titanium Backup (root needed) and freezing the process.
I typed in Smith in the search bar of TB and it came back with this process/app called
"Smith 4.21-plat_4.4.2-KOT49H"
I believe it happens to come up when a specific "bloatware" app is unaccessible by the device when removed but I have not singled out which app is it so far.
I backed up the app first then froze it and it stopped the Smith popup error permanently even after reboots and power offs.
(You could possibly delete it but until the stock bloatware app that causes this pinpointed i wouldn't recommend it.)
Tested running everything is good no errors rebooted fine checked bootloader and recovery and both are fine as well.
