Hi
I bought an Xperia x8i last week and wanted to update with the newest custom rom out there.
I rooted, xrecovered and installed GingerDX 007.
When i turned on the phone it showed me some logos and went in loop a couple of times on the Cyanoged CM7 logo then freezed.
Can anyone suggest what to do to go ahead?
Since i'm a really smart man i did not backup before doing the update.zip install :|
Did you change the file to update.zip?if so you gotta full wipe it.

The wipe did it. I was scared to do that because thought that it would delete update.zip thus blocking my phone since the OS is there (right?)

Hey everyonee
im having seriouse trouble with my SanFrancisco phone from orange ( Zte Blade )
iv successfully rooted my phone and have clockworkrecoveryMod Working fab
but i have a couple of problems, i recently upgraded to froyo (android 2.2) using this page: Orange San Francisco phone handset – How to unlock, root and upgrade Android 2.1 to 2.2 FroYo The IT Bod
i have done this correctly and im happy with the result, (apart from all my data been lost, but i dont mind as long as i have froyo
but heres the problem,
I realllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy like this theme
Minimal Matte 1.5 CM6 Full Rom! 8/7 - xda-developers
http://www.xda-developers.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/matte.png
so iv saved the theme as update.zip and put it in the root of my phone,
then i opend clockwork and selected the theme correctly, and installation was succesfull,
but when i boot up again after the installation the android startup screen is stuck,
and also, using this new froyo, i cant seem to download and install apps of the market?
anyone helpp plzzz )))))))))
Just do these commands, you need to reflash your froyo rom, but your data is lost i think. Open your recovery and make:
1. Full wipe
2. wipe cache
3. wipe SD:ext
3. Flash your froyo rom, than reboot and you get back the original froyo.
Don't forget: every rom has a special theme for itself, you can't flash every theme with every rom. If you want an alternative read about metamorph.
is that rom even for your phone? Use the theme porter to inject the theme into your rom.

hmm, im not too keen on wiping all the data again :/
the phone originally came with android 2.1 but you can root and update it to 2.2, is it possible that the rom i installed just doesnt support the themes? do i need to install a patch? im not even sure i backed up correctly, even thought in the rom manager i clicked backup" it didnt really do anything, this idea of injecting sounds good, but wouldnt the same problem occur?
thanks for replying

nah nothing wrong happens when you port the theme to the rom you are using. i've ported like 5-6 themes already.
iv been using clockworkrecoverymod to install the themes under update.zip
but theres also the problem with the market, iv done alot of searching to find out y the apps wont install of the market, any ideas? thx
im gradually thinking it would be best to start clean, and if i were to start again how would i install 2.2 android onto a zte blade without hacking it?
thnx alot ;D

Use the new hboot. Perform a full wipe of everything...
Follow the instructions carefully....down to the last word. It should work out just fine. I had installed this rom (perhaps a prior version of it) a few months ago without any issues. So, I do not see any reason why you cannot either.
if you do all above including system wipe and it still hangs, it may just be too many bad blocks. not uncommon for some on sense/desire roms
Hello,
I tried searching for my problem in the forums but I didn't find my exact setup and don't want to brick my phone. (Well maybe it already is)
I had Cyanogenmod 7 for quite a while and tried the Nightlies for 9 some months ago. In the early days of my phone I used ODIN to flash the newest Stock firmwares and then used the chroot kernel to root my phone and install cwm. Since then I installed Cyanogenmod 7 and later Cyanogenmod 9 Nightlies with cwm recover and there was never a problem.
Today I tried the ROM from DerTeufel1980 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28819140
I flashed the rom, the addons, the superuser and google now fix. Then I flashed the kernel Devil3_1.0.0-Rc5_datadata_i9000_CFS_BLN_CMC_20120719.zip and fixed permissions. After that my phone wouldn't boot. The boot animation was the old standard android logo.
I managed to get into Devil Kernel Recovery and thought to try a reflash of just the ROM but when I try to "choose a zip" it always tells me
E:can't mount /sdcard/
After that I flashed the kernel with odin and now the phone seems to boot but veeeery slow and it has a ton of flickering the whole time. The bootanimation is the cyanogenmod 9 boot animation. I got into Devil Recovery and I still can't mount the sdcard. And it seems that it doesn't detect my sim card.
I hope you can help me.
Edit: Actually after rebooting several times the boot sped up and I could get into the ROM. I still can't mount the internal sdcard though and I have no phone functionality. It seems that my IMEI number is gone.
Hey
Downgrade your sgs to 2.3.6 valuepack using odin3...
Then root it and use it for a day atleast..
Then flash CM9 nightly..use that for a day too..
Then flash JB...not the same one u did earlier..
Instead Goto teamjellybean.noez.in (ad www.)
Find d latest version of jb and follow the instruction there..
Cheers

Thanks that's exactly what I have done and it worked.
I've seen a lot of folks saying that they might have bricked their phones when some issue occured while flashing a new rom.
Personally whenever I face issues, I just goto the Download mode and Flash a GB rom and then move my way up (GB --> ICS --> JB).
As long as you can go into Download mode, shouldnt be a problem
Fwiw, I lost my IMEI for the first time trying out the JBs. Not sure if it was Slim or DerTeufel's. I ended up with the kind that allows you to connect to your mobile provider, a fake but working IMEI. But when I saw that I tried to go to GB and it didn't come back automagically. And the IMEI was totally wiped so I couldn't even register on the network. Ended up getting to ICS and only then did Root Browser let me write to the efs folder.
Lesson, in short: make a backup zip of your efs folder (to preserve permissions) and double back it up using Nitrality from the Play store.
Glad you got yours back, too.

OK, so I'm *definitely* a crappy speed-reader, because I missed this part about waiting on each version. What does the waiting do? I'm now wondering if that means I need to use the phone and, with the restored /efs folder, sometimes later /dev/block/stl3 will repopulate itself with the proper info.
Hey
I asked to wait on roms coz it can just make a few things working...like data..if it doesnt work on 1 rom it would not (probably) work on the next update..(personal experience)..
Cheers
If my post helped, don't mind hitting the Thanks button..
So I bought a Samsung Galaxy S from ebay, which had been rooted, and is currently running Jelly Bean with apex launcher.
I have had so many problems and had to flash the new rom on it countless times now and I'm sick of losing everything every time and never trusting my phone. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong?
I had a notification for an update for Apex Launcher a couple of days ago through the play store, so I updated it. It then would kept failing, and telling me "Apex Launcher is not responding". It wouldn't even respond long enough for me to turn it off normally... I had to take the battery out in order to turn the power off.
This was not the first time Apex had crashed on me so I thought I'd download Go Launcher instead. It all seemed fine, however it started to randomly rearrange all my icons and then wouldn't let me customise it at all - couldn't add new app shortcuts, widgets, or rearrange anything whatsoever.
I decided to factory reset and wipe the caches etc and flash the original rom on it for now, but not sure if I should try and remove Apex somehow and use something else or if it's the rom I'm using or what?!
Would anyone be able to help??
sorry forgot to mention that I am almost a complete noob at this and flashing a new rom is about the only thing I can do, I have no idea what all the different roms are etc I just flash the one that was already saved on the memory card that came with the phone!

downlaod a more stable ro(cm9 maybe or ics rom,I dont know because I dont have i9000 but i9001),just go to i9000 android development and download a rom.Then install it in recovery but before installing wipe everything(data,cache and dalvik),u will see that in how to install section.Just follow the instructions
Hey,
Start from the beginning.
Download JVZ or JPU rom (Gingerbread of Froyo), flash via Odin. It is really simple. Root it and install CWM.
Next Download pure CM10, install it via CWM. Only the your system will be clean and fresh.
Hey
If u hav I9000 then downgrade to 2.3.6(link given below..)..that should solve ur issues..
Been trying this for about 3 hours now, and now I can't even access recovery.
I had Cyanogen 6 and 3 weeks ago I decided to upgrade to Cyanogen 7, however, I read somewhere that its easier if you downgrade your X8 to stock kernel and Android 2.1, so I did. Weirdly enough, it turned into a W8 instead of an X8, so I was using the W8 kernel instead. The root and everything was gone too, so today I rooted it again and I had some problems with installing xRecovery, took me about an hour to get that working and then I installed CyanogenMod 7 - only to forget ClockworkMod, therefore it gave me errors (Status 7) so after about half an hour of not knowing that I finally found out that I needed to install ClockworkMod. I did so and now I installed Cyanogen 7 and it said that it was successful, however, when I boot into the phone its stuck on the Sony Ericsson logo. I can't enter Recovery or anything, its just stuck.
I really don't wanna start all over again, and if I have to I want a noob step-to-step with pictures guide since I've followed about 5 guides now and none of them works.
What do?
Even though it has only been up for less than an hour, could I get some help really soon? I got school tomorrow and I gotta go to bed and I really can't go there without my phone.
Do what you did but now full wipe/factory reset before installing.
What rom exactly did you try?was it for stock kernel?
