[Q] ROM manager to O2X ?

@Moderator - Move this to Themes and Apps - Thought I posted it correct but not.
Hi all,
I've downloaded ROM Manager to my O2X - but when I try to search for new ROM's then it says that I need to install CWM via ROM Manager and then I press "Yes" and then a dropmeny comes up and there are 2 different phone-models to choose from.....none of them are O2X.
I read at CM's forum that it would be good to have it, then we will get notify asap when CM7 is realesed to our phone...
If you know what I'm doing wrong, plz help then !
Thanks in advance!

Latest ROM Manager:
ClockermodRecovery is probably the best option, at least for me :=)
I installed Clockworkmod recovery 3.0.1.4 over PC because at these times ROM Manager didn't worked, now I installed ROM Manager v4.2.0.2 from market and it says that there is a new ClockworkMod Recovery availible (3.0.2.8) so I wanted to installed it, but it says: failure while installing!
Same when I try to install older version (3.0.2.7)!
I still can get into the recovery mode, so it didn't mess anything up...
It never asked for root permission when I'm choosing Install ClockworkMod, only at Reboot in Recovery-mode, is that normal?
What can I do to get the new version of ClockworkMod Recovery???
Thanks
It should ask for root permissions when it tries to flash the new recovery.
Ok, thanks solved it, it was because of my problems with the baseband 0405 :/...
I have install the last Rom Manger version but have problems with recovery and the "format sd card" option.
I made a backup from Rom Manger and this was ok but when i want to restore the backup i cant choose the backup. The screen was black.
Is this a problem with the internal SD card? The backup was made on the ext. SD card but i cant choose it, only from recovery menue (power button and
loud down).
Other problem, the format SD Card option doesnt work for me.
The problem is ROM Manager uses the internal SD card and CMR uses the external one. To restore your backup boot to recovery yourself rather than using ROM Mangers restore/manage option.

[Q] Help in restoring SE W8 to stock

Anybody out there willing to help this noob right here?(that's me)
like title said i need help to restore W8 to stock rom. i followed this youtube video on how to change W8 eclair 2.1 to gingerxperia vr.23 at first it was ok but then as i used the phone i experienced lots of bugs and errors... camera malfunction, calendar bugs, messages, screen display turning off on calls and alot more.
Now as ive read through out XDA i always see guys saying its easy just use the xrecovery, and use the backup. the problem is during installation of the gingerxperia i didnt create any backup at all (because i was following blindly at the video, he didn't create one i didn't create one either, it was stupid i know)
i download a stock rom named W8.Bld46.17.05.2011.rar it contains 4 files namely ( Cache.img, Data.img, nandroid.md5, sytem.img) but i dont know what to do to those file. please help me
if not for the lack of support for 2.1 eclair to move apps to sd i would have gone through this upgrading and all. i wish 2.1 has some fix to be able to move apps to sd thanks in advance guys. sorry for the bad english
On Your sd card there should be a folder called xrecovery. There should be another 2 folders - Backup and custom. So all You need to do is create a new folder in Backup and put there Cache.img, Data.img, nandroid.md5 and sytem.img.
I don't know if using sb else backup is safe, so in my opinion - You should just use SEUS or SE PC Companion to restore original firmware. These will also unroot Your mobile
And You realy didn't have to change Your firmware to move apps to SD. There are some apps - like Link2SD f.e.
There will be no xrecovery folder on SD Card but instead you will have clockworkmod if you have installed it and inside that ther will be a backup folder put this inside that and then reboot your phone go to clockworkmod recovery and select backup and restore and then click on restore. now your phone will get the stock rom from those four files

well,i think you does not need to restore the stock rom,just download another full working rom,i suggest Gingerdx:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188486 ,since it complete working rom that work on stock kernel,or if you had unlock ur bootloader you can install other rom...
all you need to do is
1.copy the downloaded rom *.zip file to your sd card,using card reader or any other way that work
2.reinsert your sd card to phone
3.power up the phone,while press and hold the back button (CWM recovery/xrecovery should appear)
4.choose wipe data/factory reset option,when prompted choose yes
5.then,select install zip from sdcard option>choose zip from sd card
6.find and select the *.zip that you placed in your sd card (you can placed it anywhere)
7.when prompted,choose yes...after that new rom will be install (takes some times)
8.after it complete,back to main menu and choose reboot system now
9.your phone will reboot and new custom rom succesfully install in your device
#you should choose the right rom first before installing it,and do read the REQUIREMENT of the rom,some need you to unlock bootloader,by the way,good luck
if i helped press thanks button
Thanks sir Bolussimo

There was a problem with SEUS on the 1st week of January for me. But after that there was an update. And now it's working. You should try "repair" option, where You must choose Your device [W8].
"sb" means somebody [else] xD

Any idea?

Why don't you ask in the rom thread? We could've solved this.

Hi Salvatti!
Just in case:
Your second partition (Ext4)
must be primary patition too (not logical)
You can choose that when formatting.
Good luck.

Guys,
My mistake.
Everything is working fine. I checked ram and internal memory after installed with and without swapall.
I thought that swapall was another kernel, but is only a mod from firekernel (correct?). Then, there is not wrong with screen log.
Thanks, anyway.

Xperia X8 Trouble

Hello ,
i decided to upgrade my android version on my xperia x8 , with flash tool using xrecovery and root explorer and as for custom zip file i downloaded froyobread, it worked fine but the thing that i didnt like was the update on market app so that it force close everytime... Long story short , i downloaded gingerbread 2.3.7 version , only thing i did was just to wipe cache/ partition and installed this rom... now my xperia x8 is bugged on logo screen.. any way to fix it?
Thanks in advance
As I remember you need to wipe data partition/factory reset from xrecovery. Also I solved similar problem with removing faulty SD card after instaling update from xrecovery.
sd card not being recognised
i installed jrc after that when i went to settings >storage it says no sd card.but when i remove sd card there is a warning in the status bar that sd card removed . why is my sd card not recognised?????????
