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

Download a cm7 backup folder and flash from recovery. Then do a factory reset wipe cache and battery stats.

Hey,
I had the same problem. My solution is: Wait a day and try to flash again and again. Anyway it would run...

or i need to go back to stock and install CWM make a new backup ?
Any other solution ?
Thanks

You can install your xrecovery backup with CWM. There is option for this
can we install and use both recoveries in a single rom???

Most new ROMs have them both installed but If you haven't, install DualRecovery.zip from the multiboot thread in the development section.
CWM vs xRecovery
I don't want to hijack the OP, but I wanted to understand what the difference between xRecovery and Clockwork Mod.
I originally understood xRecovery was developed as an alternate to CWM because CWM couldn't access certain section of SE's firmware. Am I wrong?
How come we're seeing xRecovery and CWM used together now?
Thanks!
CWM is using a newer type of update-script and it can do more than xrecovery, but this scripting method is more complicated and must be configurated for every device, and I guess that´s why some of the X8´s ROMs are still using xrecovery/amend scripting.
So it´s better when you have them both.
pls help me ive been searching 2 days for possible solution with my problem i cant use the gingerdx and etch. roms with [data,META-INF,system] inside theyre zip,I tried different roms but this is the only one works for me i downloaded XGin5.0 zip and it has XGin5.0 folder inside and i put the folder inside xrecover>backup in my sdcard and it installed!!!! pls guys help me i want to install latest roms :\
You have to install CWM recovery to flash GingerDX. Then you have to reboot to CWM and choose Install update ZIP from sd card, find GDX zip file and select it to flash it.

how can i install CWM please sir guide me step by step i will be so thankful to u!
Use this to install CWM recovery and copy custom ROM zip file to sd card. After that reboot your phone and tap screen several times until it goes to CWM. Then go to Install update zip from sd card and find it. Press on it, it will ask you to confirm your choice and after flashing ROM do full wipe. Of course make NAND backup before.

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
I have the genokolar 【rom】u8800-cm7-111018[unoffical] with franco kernel.
Installed CWM Recovery 5.0.2.3 by renaming original recovery.img to backup, and copying it to the pc.
Installed rom from cwm. I see now that i dont have a backup of the original boot.img.

I gather that it is not a must. I will try it out with 17-02-2012 update from CM7.
