So I'm trying to install xRecovery using this link and I download the .zip file and unpack it. First I try to "Automatic Installation (recommended): Open xRecovery installer app and tap "Install xRecovery" but I can't find the xRecovery installer anywhere so I try:
Manual Installation:
- Download the apk, rename it to xrecoveryZIP
- Unpack the file, find ./res/raw folder inside. It should contain 3 files (chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar)
- copy these 3 files into /system/bin using root explorer (remember to remount /system rw
but when I go to the /system folder there's no /bin folder and I have zero clue what to do
PS - as far as i know i've successfully rooted my phone using superoneclick

First make sure your phone is rooted, then install Busybox from Market. Make sure Busybox is installed on xbin, not bin..
Got into the same prob coz its installed on bin, tried to reinstall busybox and saved it to xbin and i manage to install xrecovery..
Thanks for the quick reply! In the busybox installer it says "status: done" but i don't know if it actually installed or not b/c i don't see busybox anywhere ??
k so i can get to the system/bin folder on my phone but i can't copy over the files like the instruction says it says "xxxx file copy failed" for every file i try to paste into the /system/bin...i like to think i'm not completely retarded but this ish is killin' me
When you install Busybox, theres an option where to install it. install it to xbin, not bin.
When it's done, its done. then try installing xrecovery.
Also, install xrecovery using the Automatic way, its easier..
When doing a copy/pasting or editing, make sure Root Explorer is in r/w, not r/o
I would install it the automatic way if I could find the installer anywhere :-/

Dude its in that thread: http://www.mediafire.com/?eyihuzn4h96xw4c
DL that then, go to Market and search for an apk installer. install that.
Then copy the xrecovery apk to ur sd. open the apk installer of ur choice. it should then scan for apks in ur sd card. install xrecovery and ur done.
I too am having the same problem as yours but managed to overcome this issue by installing xrecovery via flashtool.

the file that downloads from that link is a .zip. do I need to change the extension to .apk? (i know it says .apk on the link but when you download it there's no .apk)

Theres a free root explorer in the market. Look for one.. Try looking for some youtube videos online for the x10...
Sent from my Rooted X10i
if i watch this video, there's a point where he clicks on the file on his phone and the file's icon is the little android mascot or whatever and when he clicks on it it gives him the option to open it with the app manager and when he clicks on it it takes him through the installation. whenever i go to the file on my phone, 1) the icon attached to it is the same as for a .zip file and 2) when i click on it it only gives me the option to extract it.
Also, give flashtool a try.... Gtg.

thx for trying to help, much appreciated.
any other takers???
Dont extract it, just copy the file the way it is to ur sd card... Scan again with an apk installer...

that's what i did, copied it without extracting it
I have an A501 with 3.01 (Acer_A501_1.037.03_PA_ATT) The OTA update downloaded but I did not install it yet as I don't want to lose root. I can't find the update but I would like to back up the file if possible. I tried doing a file search but with one of the file manager apps but it got into a loop on a recursive symlink.
Some questions:
1. Where do I find the update (it is not in the cache directory)
2. Is there a good file explorer that can deal with recursion
- or do I have a corrupt file system?
Here's an example:
/sys/dev/block/7:0/bdi/subsystem/7:0/subsystem/7:0/subsystem/7:0/subsystem etc
Found It
Just in case you didnt find it, I used root explorer and it was in the cache folder long numbers.zip
There is a process to use it to update your tab.. I however forgot all of the steps..
i know you have to decrypt it. pull the update.zip out remove the boot loader.blob file.. This is not intended to be instructions just a guide as to what you can look for to find the information to do so .
Sorry i could not find the tread explaining this..
You need the phone root and the root explorer app. Go to the folder /system/app, and copy Bluesea.apk file (is the smaller), bring it on PC and rename it as a zip file. Open the zip and edit the images in the folder /res/drawable-nodpi and / res/raw creating the same but black. Rename the file as .apk and put in the original folder. Correct the permissions rw-r-r and set it as an image animated in the lock!
Make first nandroid backup!
I have the .apk working file but i can't post here (it's my first thread)..

I have absolutely no background knowledge of anything in a smartphone so bear with me. My device is rooted though.
Ok you know how Samsung Galaxy S4 came with all those stock apps? I want to be able to delete all of them.
With some simple google searches I found this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307355
I attempted some of these steps but I have absolutely, not even the slightest how to complete those steps that person has outlined.
Here are the steps:
Download the zip file "TrulyClean_v1.6_MEDIUM_SBROWSER" extract it.
1. Use the default script or edit the script after your taste. (see "hidden "tutorial above!)
2. Copy recovery.zip to phone.
3a. For best experience - do a full wipe, install a custom rom and then flash TrulyClean.zip.
3b. Script only removes apps in /system, so you have to uninstall any updated apps manually.
4. Flash in recovery (I use PhilZ Touch) & run script after every time you flash a new rom.
5. Enjoy and tell me what you think!
So I downloaded the zip file and extracted it, there were two files into: META-INF and busybox.
Ok so I put them in a folder on the desktop called recovery.
On step 2 I zip the folder I created, so now it's called recovery.zip
On step 3 I don't know anything beyond that, are there step by step tutorials with pictures that illustrate these steps?

Hello,
This is ROMCleaner - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348256
It is a simple zip which you flash in recovery and also comes with a ROMCleaner_user.txt which you serves as the list of apps you want to delete.
Very easy to edit and use.
Also,

This is a great ready-to-flash script you can try if you are a little unsure of editing your own custom list.

Hi.
U do not need to extract the two files.
U only do this if u want to remove any system apps u don't want to remove in the update script.
Just copy the zip file in yr sdcard and flash in recovery.
That's it.
Cheers.
Wait, if your rooted. Why not just buy (yes buy, it's worth it) Titanium Backup or Rom Manager Pro and freeze, backup, and uninstall the apps you want removed. And then you have a good end user friendly GUI to work with.
