Hi I'm on my phone but here is a link to a thread on here and I have linked to all you should need on the 5th-6th post

 

[mr_esmit]

Tried that already, but the link to download the xrecovery takes me to an error page. Thanks anyway. No way around it. Do you have another source to download it from?? Or maybe another link to another site. Thanks again.

You can download it here:

[RECOVERY] xRecovery 0.3-release | UNIFIED - ALL X10 VARIANTS | 31/01/2010 - xda-developers

 

[powerkiter]

Very odd it works fine for me...

 

[mr_esmit]

Thanks guys but all the links you've posted lead to the same download site, which keeps giving an error. That's the main reason I started the thread, none of the links seem to work: (.

 

[powerkiter]

Have you tried scrolling down the page on any of the links and hitting the next download button? Might sound daft but its what I had to do...

 

[mr_esmit]

Tried using Jdownloader also but i get a plugin error (out of date) message.

 

[powerkiter]

Are you using you're phone or a pc to download it?

 

[mr_esmit]

both...

 

[JDwan]

Do you normally have trouble downloading things from Mediafire? It could be that your ISP is blocking the site or something.

Click this and look for the 45 second countdown box to the right, wait for the countdown to finish then click the button that apers after that.

If that doesn't work I have no idea...

EDIT: do it via your pc not phone and dont use a dongle use wifi.

 

[mr_esmit]

Thanks powerkiter, but are the flash tool and xrecovery the same???

 

[powerkiter]

Sorry Im a complete prat and had a couple of tabs open and took the link from the wrong thread!

xRecovery-0.3-release.apk

Try this one instead...

 

[mr_esmit]

No dice... I get an error page. Thanks the same exact link uploaded on the other threads. I really don't know hat the problem is, because I've downlaoded a few things during the week with no problems what so ever. Could some send me that apk via email or something?? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks again.

 

[powerkiter]

Ok have you tried the flash tool?

Unzip to a folder and then run the program and then once you have flash tool open go to advanced and I swear it has the option to install xrecovery but you have to root with the flash tool.

I say swear as Im not sure if it picked up the the xrecovery apk I put in the folder???

 

[mr_esmit]

I'll try that and see how it goes.... I'm rooted already so it should be no sweat. I'll let u know. Thanks again guys..

 

[JDwan]

I've attched the .apk and the update to this post. Install the .apk as usual then use xRecovery to install the update. If you can't get it this way, I don't know what else to do. I can't upload it to another site as zdzihu requested that people not post mirror links. Hope this works for you.

 

[mr_esmit]

THnaks JDwan and everyone else. Hit a few bumps but got everthing installed. Now to install the JIT enabler. Thnaks again. Gotta luv this forum!

Old thread...things have changed. Next time, please create a new thread.

If you are using Android 2.1.

Install the flashtool on your computer

http://androidforums.com/x10-all-things-root/272949-flashtool-guide-how-n00bies.html

Root the phone...after that, ask permission...if your phone accepts the permission request, then you should be able to install it by clicking under Andvanced at the top and install xRecovery.

I think you need to boot in recovery mode, then root....then reboot phone and start it up normally, and click the Ask Permission button....on the phone, click ok or accept....then install xRecovery from the Advanced menu at the top of the flashtool app.

So....remove anything you did....and do the above.

I guess you didn't read the thread/link I posted.

It lists everything step by step with screen shots.

You download the flashtool....download the file you want to flash with....you boot in flash mode....flash the phone....reboot phone....then root...restart phone....install apk from flashtool.

Just read that thread and try and follow along with it.

If you have any problems or questions create a new thread.
