I have to update my MiniCM rom...

Hello, I installed a long time ago this rom and I haven't followed the updates since then. Now I wanna install the latest version (1.0.2, not 2.0.1). I have MiniCM 1.0, do I only have to install the update.zip like any other roms?
How can I backup my sms? I installed a version of Backup and Restore that I found here but I can't find again the thread of that
EDIT: If you think another rom is better, just tell me and I'll try it

First of all you have to install clockworkmod recovery or dualmode recovery.
then download MiniCM6
boot into clockworkmod recovery
install custom.zip
if you want to keep your data don't do a factory reset but wipe cache.
Sony Ericsson Backup and Restore app can be found here
If you want clean Froyo (CM6) ROM then I would recommend Floyo by Racht or MiniCM6 by ponanovn (NobodyAtAll)
If you want froyo with gingerbread features try Froyobread by doixanh
If you want Gingerbread try XGin 5.4 by shpit or Hackdroid by racht(if you don't care about camera and FM)

I installed Froyobread and it's great, thanks!

Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151293 download Dualrecovery.zip in the attached files section of the main post(1st) and install custom zip with xrecovery. You should now have both xrecovery and Cwm.
xrecovery enter by pressing back button repeatedly and enter CWM by keep tapping the screen at se logo on boot.

[Q] Install Xrecovery over cwm

I First installed xrecovery on my XPERIA X8 and then installed a Custom ROM
But after seeing the cyanogen 7.1 ROM for XPERIA X8 I installed it by changing the bootloader and installing cwm.
Now i want to go back to the previous ROM.(i have xrecovery backup files)
But Now i am not able to install xrecovery on it.because it does not have the original bootloader.
but if i install the original bootloader then my phone will be bricked because it has custom firmware.
WHAT SHOULD I DO??
HOW DO I INSTALL XRECOVERY AGAIN.
OR HOW DO I CONVERT XRECOVERY BACKUP FILES TO CWM BACKUP FILES??

In cwm you have an option to recovery from xrecovery files, use it

[Q] Help against ClockWorkMod

Please Help!!
I have Xperia X8 E15i
I have xrecovery installed and I used it successfully for backuping and restoring at very bad situations ...
Now I am interested in Dual Booting ...
I need to install ClockWorkMod ...
May I use CWM-recovery-3.2.0.0-r3-x10mini-Amend.zip or CWM-recovery-4.0.1.5-e15-Amend or any other
1. Is it an automated install ... means I only need to flash as an update.zip
2.Any other thing I need to do for complete installation ?
3.Can I restore those backups ( made by xrecovery ) with ClockWorkMod ?
4.Iam going to install floyo 0.30 ... will that harm installation of ClockWorkMod ...
5.How will I install that ROM ... it said to restore that ROM as from a backup file by xRecovery ... can I use ClockWorkMod to restore that ROM ?
Thanks for your kind attention ...

CWM backups are not compatible to xRec.
Some CWM versions can restore xRec backups.
Sorry, cant test it, I`m using custom kernel and have "only" CWM

[Q] Problem with backup

I was going to test some new roms as I usually do. Rebooted phone, pressed back key and performed a backup.
When I tried to restore the backup I made it was not in the xrecover/backup folder, after some searching on the sd card I found the backup but it was in the folder clockworkmod/backup.
The strange thing is that I am sure that I wasnt on the clockworkmod when I made the backup because the text wasnt orange, it was blue. Now xrecovery cant restore my backup and even if I boot on clockworkmod (by tapping screen on boot) I cant restore my backup.
What am I missing? Is there another recovery I could have booted without noticing?

Maybe you were using a custom kernel or gingerdx on stock those have cwm with blue text

Not entirely correct. Up to GingerDX v022 the ROM shipped with CWM 3.2.0.0r2, which had the orange text.
Starting with GingerDX v024 we switched to CWM 5.0.2.8 (and pulled even with the Alfs-included CWM version) which has the cyan-ish text color.
Anyway, if the backup would have been created with xRecovery (blue text color) then the backup would sit in /sdcard/xrecovery/backup.
@OP: If you can't restore the backup, maybe it got damaged?

Yes, it was a cyan text. The problem is that aparently I have 3 recovery systems installed.
If I press the back button on boot I got to the xrecovery
If I tap the screen on boot I got to clockworkmod with orange text (version 3.2)
But I dont know how I got in the clockworkmod with the cyan-ish text (version 5.02)
Btw, I am using GingerDX v024 and loving it =).
EDIT: I solved my problem, it was just a silly thing. GingerDX V024 uses clockworkmod 5.0.2 and the rom I tested used v3.2, just flashed GingerDX v024 and I was fine... only bad news is that I found out that my backup was corrupted (MD5 dont match) and I screwed my phone contacts because of the goddamed google contact sync.
