Install your own apps via xRecovery - Collection of xRecovery files

Hi Guys!
Now that finally the devs arrived with some amazing ROMs, I change these ROMs a lot every day. But I experienced some problems because I often do that at work where I don't have adb shell available. So I created an xRecovery zip-file to install Android Terminal Emulator before booting into the ROM the first time.
That gave me the idea to offer you some zip-files with useful (free) applications you perhaps want to have pre-installed on any ROM before booting it.
I also attached two blank zip-files where you can easily add your own apps, perhaps a preferred keyboard in your language or whatever you want to push onto your phone via xRecovery.
If somebody's interested we could turn this into some kind of collection for universally usable xRecovery files.
How to use the blank zip-files:
To use this method, you need to have the app available as an apk-file, of course.
If you have the app already installed on the ROM you're looking to replace, you can just use a root file manager like Root Explorer to copy and paste the apk file from \data\app\ to your SD card.
If you cannot get the apk file, you can request it here or send me a PM and I'll try to prepare the zip-file for you. Don't ask me to do this with paid apps! This whole method is meant to be used with free apps and I will not add or support warez in any form!
Okay, now let's start. As you can see, I attached two blank zip-files: blank_data-app.zip and blank_system-app.zip. Why two of them?
There are basically two locations where you'll want to install your own apk's:
\data\app\ --> contains all non-system-relevant user apps and should be your choice in most cases. If you install here, you can easily uninstall the apps later if you don't need them anymore.
\system\app\ --> contains system-relevant and pre-installed apps such as vending.apk / phonebook.apk / Email.apk / Gmail.apk / Calender.apk / etc.
Only install here if you want to replace one of these apps with a themed one or if you want to force-update market for example! It's not possible to uninstall anything you installed here the usual way! You'll have to use Titanium Backup or another third-party app.
Only overwrite existing apps in this folder if you know what you're doing!
So, just choose where you want to install your app, open (NOT extract!) the corresponding file with a zip-file manager of your choice (I'd recommend 7Zip or WinRAR) and drag the apk-file you want to install into data\app\ (for blank_data-app.zip) or system\app\ (for blank_system-app.zip. pretty obvious, huh? ). Confirm to copy the file there and close the zip file.
That's it. Now you just have to give your zip-file an appropriate name and push it onto your SD card to install it via xRecovery-->install custom zip-->choose custom zip from sdcard.
__________________________________________________
Some comments on the zip-files attached:
- Android_Terminal_Emulator.zip:
This is useful if you installed a new ROM and experience problems like flashing homescreen or no GSM/data connection. In that case, open ATE and type the following:
su (confirm SuperUser rights)
busybox killall servicemanager
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will restart the phone and hopefully solve your problems. (I know this mini guide seems not to fit here, but perhaps someone reads it before spamming the dev thread with questions that were answered a thousand times )
- JIT_Enabler_v2-zdz.zip:
all KUDOS go to zdzihu. Make sure you visit his thread to always get the latest version of JIT Enabler.
Note that you only need this file on 2.1 ROMs where JIT Enabler isn't pre-enabled! On 2.2+ ROMs JIT is always included.
- New Market V2.2.11.zip:
Make sure to sign into your google account and open market once (accept licence agreement) before you update to the new market. Many people experience problems if they don't do this!
- TitaniumBackup-3.6.7.1.zip:
You can also create this file yourself. If you open TB and tap on Settings-->more... there's an option to create an update.zip
- XDA_app.zip:
Useful for any kind of problems of course
__________________________________________________
So, not much of a collection at the moment, but perhaps there's interest for something like that. If you know something that will come handy to have it preinstalled, just tell me!

i like that point of view! well i only found one for creating a whole update. zip for a rom with android kitchen I can explain some of the basics inside this zip file this evening after work. a zip just for installing apps is created quite easily. it gets more complicated if you have to set permissions and things like that.

good idea!
thanks

Great! thanks a lot for this useful guide, I will use it.
Just one question in the same line like mezo, If I already have a rom zip file and I want to add to this rom the apps, would it be possible? and Could you explain us? or its just copy the files inside the \data\app\ folder?
Thanks again for your help.

Great idea, thanks!

As long as the apps aren't system-relevan, it's as easy as that, yes
For all of you willing to learn more: I'm quite a noob, too, but I'll try to make a tutorial on how to create recovery zip-files as soon as I can.
Won't be today though, because I'll go out to party into my birthday this evening
So long,

You can use the Android Kitchen to create custom zip files, I use the Cygwin method as it makes file management a little easier imo.

Great idea man, a lot of thanks!

1 zip - several apps
Is it possible to create one zip to install several apk's?
Maybe I have a few "stock" apps, the ones that I always need, and want to install all in a single step.
Can this be done or I have to install one by one even using xRecovery?
Thanks!
Great tuto and thank you for sharing

Firstly, the xRecovery depends upon its version of busybox. In the version I use it is 1. 15. 3
So re-install xRecovery(just in case).
Secondly, u don't hv to keep the back key pressed but tap it a few times repeatedly during the screen with "Sony Ericsson" logo.
Hope this helps.

sorry, backup and restore only works with stock se rom and mods based on it (like kx10 or blue sparks,...). it's impossible to install on any 2.2/2. 3 or 2.1 AOSP rom.

hey im having a problem.
I know that you will say "this belong to another thread" but since this way i can trick the thing and install again the system apps like the Package administrator etc, i need to know what to do in mi case with this method:
mi BETA3 was working smooth!
iv been using the BETA3 a long time but some days ago, suddently i couldn't install apps anymore (thouse that are in mi SD or frome the market...not even Applanet...nothing)
The screen shows the "barber shop black and white" bar rolling and rolling and never stop.
Mi USB detection is not working, that means that mi PC is recognazing the phone (it sound like a UYSB is been conected) but never apear the folder of the SD. nto even options of debugging usb etc in the notification bar of the device.
and when i get in Settings> runing aplications, all aplication are in "calculating..." mode. so they say 00 mb. and never stop triying to get the numbers. its so odd.
the other aplication (that came installed with the BETA) works fine.
I have tryed, erasing the firmwares and isntalling them from the beginning and everything worked fine with old firms like 2.0 and 2.1 update1. too!
then i do the root (first z4root, then busybox, then xRecovery) and make xrecovery work. install the beta 3, and again i can't do anything.
i triyed installing the BETA4 but never stop rebooting so i just yield and stick with BETA3.
any idea..plzzz!!! i really don't whon't to use Eclair...it's just so ugly!!

it's not working on mi xRecovery. i put the apps insinde app folder of thwe .zip and put it in a random folder of mi SD, then do >the Recovery > install custom.zip>Choose from SD card>confirm install the selected "blank_data-app.zip".
and it say:
Finding update package.....
opening update package.....
E i asume E means Error!) can't open blablabla/blblabla folder/blank_data-app.zip (bad)
installation Abnorted.
i asume iv done something wrong...!?!?
PS: BTW can somebody sen me the original .apk of FROYO bwecasue i can't find them , to use the system-apps.zip
thanxxx!!!

[REQUEST] recovery/repair image Xperia Play

can someone who has not unlocked their bootloader go through the "repair" process in either one of the software updaters located here
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...teyourproductsoftware/xperia-play?cc=gb&lc=en
when it downloads the repair image for your phone it will stores it on your computer probably somewhere in this folder
C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson
or
start>run> %temp%
the file will be ~100mb or more
if someone can download that file and upload it to any media shareing website it would be greatly appreciated
I and we will need this for custom roms, root, and recovery if something goes afoot.
many thanks,
grant
EDIT: just an FYI this is different than the system.img /system dump that is floating around the recovery contains the boot.img, nv.img radio.img and among other things

hi johnsongrantr i just bought an xperia play sim free locked bootloader. I am new to the android front (newbie) been an iphone user for a while, if you explain what i need to do to get the recovery img i am more than happy to help
regards

C:\ProgramData\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs
is where it will be and it will be called something like: FILE_277919341 and will be 157MB
Just done it but that file cant be opened even with magiciso like other roms can.
there is this as well:

interestingly the above software tells you to press the back key before plugging in the usb!

If you go to "downloads" on top of that page, the sourecode for Gingerbread Xperia (Arc AND Play) are there, the one you link is not Arc. Seems all Xperia (new) is compiled from same source.

FTF back up for Z1

Here is my guide for FTF back up using Flashtool version 0.9.13.0 for new guys.
This could be used with all Xperia phones running android.
I have used this method starting with Xperia X10a, Xperia S and now Xperia Z1.
1) You have to use Sony Update Service or PC Companion to repair/reinstall your software. You will loose all your data!!! So make a back up of your content.
2) After that done go to C:\Program Files\Sony Mobile\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs
and you will see 4 files with name starting FILE_###########, where # - is number that can be anything.
Make sure that they have similar date and time creation. If you had used SUS before,just delete folder db to make sure there no other files from previous updates, because it will screw your phone up.
3) Copy those 4 files to a folder you name anything you like somewhere on desktop for easy locating it later on.
4) Then go on and install latest Flashtool.
5) Once it is intalled, just open Flashtool, navigate to Tools tab, select SEUS decrypt. Now for source folder navigate to those 4 files you have previously copied. Four files should appear on left side, highlight them and press "->" , Now those 4 files should move to right side. To complete this step press Convert.
6) In status window you can see what is happening. It can take some time depending on your PC.
7) New window will pop up once decrypting is done.
8) This step will create FTF bundle. Fill up information on Device, Branding, and Version.
9) Move all files from left box to the right (highlight and press ->) and then press Create.You can take a 5 min break.
10) After Flashtool finished bundle creation go to C:\Flashtool\firmwares to locate FTF back up you have made.
Hope that helps!
If you have any further questions just ask, I will do my best to answer it.

This is good, so in this way I will be able to extract from my phone the entire system? A backup of my Z1?

It doesn't extract system files from phone.
It uses official Sony update service files that would be legit to customization that you have on your phone; so that if anything happens you can revert to it.
If you use this method your phone will be wiped clean.
I posted this instruction because I seen few members asking for instruction on forum.
Just sharing....

I think you can use PC Companion instead of SUS.
I can't check now, but when I created ftf myself all needed files were in
C:\ProgramData\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\(numbers)\blob_fs
after PC Companion says reboot your phone.
After coping files to other folder, you can close PC Companion
My data wasn't deleted since I didn't need to reinstall software.

There's more files than 4.... And file name start from ICON_##########. Couldn't find FILE_########
please help me on this.

Arrange files by size FILE_############## should come up first, since its size larger then any of ICON_##############.
Before you perform update make sure you delete contents of db folder.
This will eliminate possibility to pick wrong ones.

Have you reinstalled software on your phone using SUS or PC companion?
FILE_########### would not be there until it is downloaded to your computer and your phone updates/reinstalls software.
If you disconnect phone before it starts updating, there a chance that those FILE_########## would get corrupted or not completely downloaded. If you try to use corrupted FILE_########## then you will screw up your phone (soft brick) when trying to use it as back up.
Keep in mind that repair/reinstalling software will factory reset your phone and you will lose everything stored on internal memory (SD card will be as it was).

The encrypted files will not be deleted till they are downloaded completely provided you have not closed the PC Companion software. If you close that software then the update starts getting downloaded from the begening. Also, PC companion saves the data in the blob_fs folder on a continous basis.

odd, once I did downgrade once I never had to download the package again as it is stored locally until I delete it. The recovery tool picks up the stored rom and flashes it without downloading.

Here All Guy's are clever, so they uses their own mind and their own step's.
and the steps they uses that is more simple than you described here.
Why you don't go to settings menu in Recovery Tool ?
Why you don't define your "Custom Package" Folder.
Even you don't have copy any large content into any directory.
Like,
C:\ProgramData\ Etc Etc It's very complicated to backup your Image Files.

you need to use Nokia Care Suite 5 and higher to accomplish flashing.
edit: ok, ignore this. just see the next post for a good tutorial.

Nokia Care Suite has become obsolete. Use rather Thor2.

Update flashtool, and put this folder into c://(username)/.Flashtool/device's

root
how do I get root with this tool?

Ice, where exactly did you get the file. I have been trying for weeks to get Androxyde to add support (reached out to him by twitter)
Is there a forum or something? or did you figure it out yourself? if so how/where? I may need to know for future reference.
AND MANY THANKS. I got my fingerprint reader back!

After downloading, extract it, you will now have a “folder G82XX“.
Now open latest version of flashtol which you have downloaded. Once all scripts are loaded, you will see: Loaded 94 devices.
Now copy the “folder G82XX” to %userprofile%\.flashTool\devices (copy this to “RUN”).
Now open flashtool, click: Device – Manage – Import, you will see: Loaded 95 devices.

"You probably don't/didn't own a Mediatek-based Xperia device, flashing them without the FSC scripts will result in a failed flash and a hard bricked phone in 99% of cases, and the other 1% are the lucky ones where the flashing fails but the phone is left in a somewhat recoverable state..."
I wonder how you respond to this comment

My respond to it https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m5/help/help-comfirming-related-to-flashing-t3625133 , somebody need to confirm! On booth tools I newer used any fsc script and nobody bricked its phone with newflasher or xflasher, but allso nobody tried to flash it on mediatek based phone, so somebody need to try and confirm it. Again I continue to believe that fsc is uneeded at all! Please read all conversations between me and Androxyde to understand why I mean all this! I'm still continue to believe that flashtool had an bug which caused hard bricks on mediatek devices (again need somebody try my tools and confirm negative)

What do you mean by "Copy this to RUN" ?
Also, I see 99 devices (v0.9.23.2) and the folder G82XX already exists, although it has 2 files in it instead of 3...
