[Q] how to remove clockword mod recovery

Hi all
This problem that I have is pissing me off so much. I rooted my phone and then unrooted it, and then my Android Market icon was missing. Now, whenever I want to do a factory reset, the phone goes back to ClockworkMod Recovery every single time. I want to get rid of this CMR. Also, I've tried to stock original rom on my phone but it does not work at all. What is happening? My phone is LG Optimus 2x P990. But I always get this error where I can't apply the DLL file. This really annoying me right now. I've tried everything and NOTHING works. I regret rooting my device.
Please help me thanksss

Here's howto remove the ClockWork Recovery Mode:

You can flash the original image using SmartFlash.
Get your original Firmware image from here. The instructions for SmartFlash are here

how to flash the zip
sorry I am completely new to this. How do I apply the zip? Do I boot into recovery mode and install zip from there? I have done this with other zip files before and it always ended with:
'installation aborted'
im trying it now, but its stuck at:
'Restoring stock recovery image'

smart flash
smart flash doesn't work for me. I always get this time out error.. I really don't know what to do now. The recovery stock file did install but then I chose 'reboot system now' in CWM and it got stuck with the LG logo. Now, it's back to ClockWork Recovery Mod again!! i don't understand. Please help.. Many thnks

what type of error?
your device-manager on your pc recognizes your 2x, when you connect it as described in the instructions?

THis is the error:
00:00.0 Sec ownload Start...
00:07.5 Sec :We can't communicate with specific port
and now, I can't start my phone. It gets stuck on LG logo. I tried the remove CWM method, it worked but when I rebooted my phone, my phone would not start at all. P. Please help.

yep it recognises it but it always gets this time out error... what should I do? Please help.. Many thanxx

Does the COM port get detected automatically when you plugin the phone ?

Same with me. Go on trying at some point it will work. It happens with me everytime i flash with smartflash. Myself also waiting for a definite solution to this problem. i think the problem lies with usb drivers. I also tried with taking out card and sim but cannot pinpoint the problem. Any successful flasher may upload the drivers. Moreover i also disabled programmes like antivirus etc running in background. Waiting for a more definite problemfree flashing solution.

I think, install drivers to smartflash, no other drivers, and later smartflash.

[Q] How can I unbrick my Xperia X8?

I installed another roms like Froyobread and Ginger DX v18 months ago..
What happened: I was trying to install Ginder DX when I got my phone bricked ! I do not know what to do, the phone turns on everytime and lock when the message "Sony Ericsson" appears.. I tried to backup and got fail.
What I did: I used PCCompanion to get my Xperia full factory wiped, then I installed Superuser, Astro File Manager and Root Explorer to install xRecovery later..
Then I turn off my phone to install CMW Recovery using xRecovery..
Successfully, I turned on my phone but it didn't pass the message "GingerDX"..
So I turned off my phone again (xRecovery).. and I installed again CMW Recovery using xRecovery..
Now I can't backup (I do not know why it didn't work.. when I backup, it get successfully, but when the phone starts, it locks when the message "Sony Ericsson" appears..)
What do I do? The phone keeps turning on without pressing the button to turn on, with that, I couldn't use PCC and I backup doesn't work !
Thanks.. and sorry my English !

Just flash back to stock Roms, use flash tool to root again reinstall your GingerDx again. No worry!

it sound like u forget to fullwipe after install GDX rom..
boot loop always happen when u not fullwipe..
if u did fullwipe, u have to download again the gdx.zip file
and install with the new gdx.zip file

use SEUS/flashtool to unbrick and mate always do a fullwipe from recovery menu before flashing a new custom rom

Possible solution!
OK I had similar problem, I solve it! By my experience I can say that you was actually trying to install gingerdxv21B on stock kernel, which can not be done as far as in the post of this rom is precised that you must use nAa kernel 08 ( you can check that on the original post and if it`s not nAa`s kernel, than is surely some other custom kernel, but not the stock one )! So, lets try to solve this!
1. If you used stock kernel to install gingerdx21b and if you are sure that you never try to use any custom kernel,than you can simply use this update service STEP BY STEP DON`T MAKE MISTAKES OF TYPE PLUG THE USB CABLE TO EARLY OR WITHOUT DEMAND ... It`s very simple program! I STILL CAN NOT POST LINK SO correct this link: mediafire.c o m / ? xxjypffvd173b0p [/ url ] by removing all free spaces. If you already have this program-even better!
2. If you used custom kernel and installation process had some unknown different issue than that that i mentioned above, just use your flash tool to flash back 2.1.1.A.0.6 (download it if you don`t have it), and than use the Update Service file that i linked above to help your phone get back in shape - REPAIR IT ALMOST AUTOMATICALLY!
3. NOTE! I have read some where in this forum that re locking bootloader is not essential, BUT I am recommending you if your bootloader is unlocked to read more about UNLOCK/RELOCK bootloader in case you want back to STOCK RULZ!

Please help! Updated GingerDX and not booting

I NEED HELP!
I've recently updated GingerDX from v28 to v29 using CWM. Once updated, I rebooted and now I'm stuck at the 'Sony Ericsson' screen. Nothing happens. Tried everything, but now the phone doesn't go past that screen. I can't even boot with CWM to apply any restore (I did a backup before installing new version of Gdx).
Please, anyone could tell me what to do? How do you boot the phone with CWM after turning the phone on? Is there any way to go past the 'Sony Ericsson' screen? Will I need to fully restore my phone to its original OS or anything?
(and most important... is this 'hardbricking' the phone?)
Thanks in advance!

It's just softbrick. Use PC Companion or Flashtool to install stock ROM, then root, install recovery etc.

repeatedly tap the screen at boot to access CWM. If you can get into there try to reflash rom, full wipe etc.
If you cant get into CWM you have a soft brick and you need to repair with PCC - re-root - re-flash etc..

Thank you for responding so fast.
I've tried tapping repeteadly the screen when turning on, but doesn't seems to work ('Sony Ericsson' screen is not moving anywhere).
And also I've installed PC Companion to do a factory reset, but this won't work either because it's asking me to turn on USB storage to connect to the phone, and since I can't get past the 'Sony Ericcson' screen there's nothing I can do.
Any ideas? I'm starting to freak out a little bit.
Thank you again.

Turn off your phone (by taking out the battery). Open PCC. Open support zone. Choose Update phone. It will shoe you a window, select repair.
Here you have some screens, it's in czech but you should know where to click.

My bad. I wasn't entering 'Support Zone'. It's done, the phone is restored to its awful Eclair system.
Since I'm doing all the process again (rooting, then changing baseband, then CWM, then installing GDX)... I'd like to start clean. Is it safe to format the SD Card? Besides losing pictures and stuff, am I running any other risk?
That should do it. Thank you guys again! I was unhopeful for a moment!
(still... what a waste of time doing all this again... but hey, the price you pay for using roms)

It is safe to format your SD card. Just backup your photos, music etc. to PC and format it. Then copy your stuff back to SD card.

OK NOW I'M REALLY UPSET!!!
I've done it all again:
1) rooted phone with SuperOneClick v1.9.1
2) installed 'xrecovery mini 0.1 beta' (copying the 3 files inside the .zip on the system > bin folder)
3) changed baseband from 006 to 015 using FlashTool
4) installed 'clockworkmod 3.2.0.0 r3 x10 mini Amend' using xrecovery
5) finally installed 'ginger dx v0.29' using clockworkmod
Now the Sony Ericsson screen again. Again, nothing. The phone is not booting. What am I doing wrong? Is any of those steps wrong?
I think I should stick to Gdx v028... if works... now I'm confused.

be sure you have installed the right rom for stucks and addons.and read for the fix.

You are missing the most important part...full wipe/factory reset before installing
Sent from my X8 using xda premium

v029 is buggy for me after fullwipe too so try staying on 28 maybe or make sure the one you install is for your kernel
Sent from my crap using xda app

I think I found what might be the problem:
In the GingerDX thread there are 2 .zips available for download:
.one that says 'Alfs/nAa'
.and one that says 'stock'
I don't even know what 'Alfs' or 'nAa' are, but I believe this version isn't suitable for my phone... anyone can check this? So I downloaded the 'stock' version, now I'm gonna try with this one.
I don't know anything about kernels and stuff... I've always flashed the ROM only... and it worked fine. Now I'm reading all this notes about kernels and Alfs and I don't even know what they are... but I'm starting to believe this has something to do with my phone softbricking.

if you have locked bootloader you have to flash stock version of ROMS.:good:
try downloading and replacing the ROM

Solved!
I've installed the 'stock' version of the ROM (GingerDX v029) and now it's working fine.
What did you mean with locking bootloader?

X8 froce closing everything and cannot open xrecovery. Need help

Hello friends.
Now I am with 2.2 cyanogen mod. I wanted to install FroyoBread.v23b so I put this folder into sd card and with oldest one xrecovery I tried to install it but it showed some error. So I decided to install other xrecovery "Bin4ry & Androxyde" OS Version 6.1. but after that I even cannot open xrecovery and when the phone loads up it starts to force closing everything so I cannot do anything.
Any ideas what to do? Please I really need a phone :/

...
Use PC Companion to restore the state of the factory and redo everything from scratch.

Use x8toolbox & get CWM & flash froyobread

use PC Campanion (the best way) to repair your phone its super clean and clutter free!
original latest 2.1.1 by Sony officially
or
Use flash tool (The fast Way) to repair your phone really quick and need to search
for the firmware of the original 2.1.1 and flash it by using flash tool
you can find the firmware in Gogeta's Signature,download it.

if u want to roll back your phone into 2.1 download this ftf file
or x8toolbox
and do clean flashing on kernel and ROM
dont forget to factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, and wipe batery stats
if u want install cwm use search button..n u will find topic about installing CWM

In both situations I get stuck in the same situation when I need to unplug the device, turn it off and while holding back button plug the usb cable again. Then nothing happens, phone starts as usual and starts showing many "force close" errors

Installing CWM by x8toolbox doesn't need flashmode

That happened with me too on froyobread..
The only option was to repair it with flashtools
sent from my phone using hands and brain...

Hi,
first of all, follow this tut to go back to clean 2.1 eclair.
Now you know what to do, root,xrecovery etc...
Reboot to xrecovery and FULL WIPE before installing the rom.
No more forse closing :good:
If it didn't work, try to full wipe after the installation(on xrecovery).

Be pleased. I get my phone recovered. Thanks a lot!!! It's now again 2.1. So now I know how to recover it, but just say your opinion - Basically what I need is not so stupid x8 blue color and function which allows to move apps to sd card. Is it worth to write some higher ROM again?

Of course it worths, if it doesn't then why are we here?!
Try what i wrote above.
Now that you know how to recover your phone from softbrick you have nothing to fear, except from hard brick ( this may happen while trying to unlock the bootloader)

Why I am saying that is because now, with original stock rom it works very fast without lagging compared with cyanogenmod 2.2 version which I had before. So Just few more questions - Its just your opinion, I know that there are so many Roms but for you which one is the fastest one and the most stable?
And maybe it's possible to install this Rom with same flashtool?

I can suggest you cm7 roms as they are smooth, bugfree and may have all the features you are looking for.
In order to install a rom on xperia x8 you need cwm or xrecovery(in most cases cwm), and this depends on the rom you are trying to install. To deside what recovery to use just read the installation instructions at the rom thread. So no, you can't install a rom with flashtool.

Everything is clear. Thanks a lot

[Q] Accidentally deleted Gtalk and now i can' t access market

Hello everyone. First of all 2 days ago i rooted my phone to be able to use LINK2SD app.
So i started deleting stock apps that i didn't use at all. All working fine on my x8 since i deleted gtalk (I know i am idiot),
and i starting getting this error message: ''The process com.google.process.gaps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again''.
After that i realize that i cant download anything from market.
I 've formated my SD card's partitions hoping to change something after factory reset but nothing happened. I dont have xrecovery or rom manager.
I am running 2.1-update1 firmare
Baseband version: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015,
Kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
Build number: 2.1.1.A.0.6
I search the net for solutions and some people with the same problem with me have found a solution from PcCompanion or
Sony Ericsson Update but in my case, when i am trying to repair my firmware i have a strange issue.
When my phone is turned off and i hold the "back" button while inserting the USB cable from my PC says: "found new SEMCU"
(or something like that, i dont remember exactly) and my pc freezes after 10 seconds and i can't do anything.
I have to manually reboot it from the shut down button. So I can't update it.
I already tried to reinstall these 2 programms PcC & SEU and the same problem exist.
I also tried to boot to safe mode with connection and do the process again but the same story happends.
I have already read this thread where the thread-starter,
found his solution: ''oh nvm i fixed it, installed rom manager and a few other apks through adb install, and through terminal emulator flashed clockwork, then flashed stock ROM
thanks for all your help!'' but i can't understand what i must do and and i won't do any more damage to my phone.
Sorry if my english is bad.
Can anyone help me please??? I 'm stuck..:crying::crying:
