Hello,
I use gingerDX v13 on my X8 phone.
When i reboot, i now have allways the choise for rebooting, xrecovery and clockworkmod.
I was using xrevovery before, and i don't know if it's better to stick with it, or that i should use clockworkmod.
I did some reading, but didn't found any straight comparision...
What is your opinions?
tx!
They're both important. To install gingerdx v013 and below, u can only use xrecovery. Bt starting from v14 and above, daioxanh says u need to use clockwork mod
Sent from my X8 running on GingerDX via XDA APP
both Xrecovery and clockwork mod have different update script,thats just what i know..
You need em both, and for things like full wipe or cache wipe there's no difference in which one u use...

I dont know really what it can be, but maybe you got wrong xrecovery you should install v.0.1 for x8!?
Try reinstall your stock android from SE do full wipe, clean dalvik cache, than root your phone again, but after rooting your phone restart it and check it. Than start xrecovery do full wipe and clean dalvik cache and try to install ginger again......let us know what you have solved

i have xrecovery v.0.1 and tried to do that but thanks anyway
it seems that my phone is idk but i guess there is some thing wrong with it
and if anyone have a solution please let me know
Are you really giving the phone enough time to boot? The first boot always takes a bit of time..
Also, format your sd card and install gdx only with the zip file in it then try to boot without the sd card.

it didn't work and i waited 30 minutes for it to boot
i tried multiboot and it worked as an external rom but so slow and lags a lot
but it didnt work as an internal rom so whats wrong ?
anyone has an idea about what i might've done wrong ?
Maybe you should send an PM to daoxian( im sorry if i wrote it wrong) and ask him for his opinion about it

well sorry for being a pain in the @$$ but i installed gingerxperia v5 ( v6 and v7 didnt work) and its a good rom but when io try to install apps it says either application not installed or free up some space and try again later ? tried full wipe
Try to install GingerCrutz 7.4 you need xrecovery for it, because its also awesome rom, to me its even better and faster then DX

Thanku so much 4 replying ! I am new to the xperia x8 community (was using optimus one) b4 & had a hard time figuring out the basics. I will be installing gingerdx next !
Unlock bootloader, flash one of kernels, boot phone, enter CWM and install GDX
you guys have gave him requirements for cwm but you never answered his question:
you can flash v013 or below with xrecovery but v014 or higher you need cwm.thats why i have gdx v013; i can flash v014 or higher since i have cwm but i like the version i got + i cant be bothered to rewrite all of my contacts
Oh damn. when I first flashed GingerDX, I used xRecovery for it to install v018, and EVERYTHING worked fine! Camera, 3G , Bluetooth, wifi. , Not a problem!
But maybe that was a once off.
I then installed v019 with CWM

Hi guys, can you show your step to upgrade x8?
Because I don't know whether my step is correct or not.
Thanks guys!
My step as following...
1.Root
2.install busybox
3.install xrecovery
4.unlock bootloader
-check with s1tools
-run msm7227_semc.cmd with debugging
5.flash kernel with flash tools
6.flash GingerDX v013
7.flash GingerDX v025
any miss step?
Dude i think superoneclick will install busy box by itself and if you unlock your bootloader after root and flash new kernel then you don't need to install x recovery just flash the rom.
Press thanks if i helped

The steps are good that way, but you can do the following :
Instaid of intalling x recovery..bla bla and gdx v13 and then v25, you can install cwm ..bla bla...and there is no need for v13 you can just Install v25

3. Download GingerDX and PLACE IT ON SD CARD.
4. Open FlashTool, select Advanced > Root > Force PSNeuter
5. Follow Instructions
6. Reboot Rooted phone.
7. Check if your phone is eligible for BL Unlock (DATE CODE)

Look...
I DO NOT troll people with talk of MiniCM9.
Especially not a beginner.
I do use MiniCM9 as my primary rom, but choices are choices and if one wants help on how to peel apples, don't give help on how to peel oranges.

First of all, go to Settings > info and check if your baseband ends with 015. If not, update with PC Companion.

It's a adb type software which you have to install on your computer.
Using this you can root , flash CWM/xRecovery etc on your X8 just by connecting it with your PC.
Follow this link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100
Why install ver 13 and 25? Just install ver 26 and alfs GDX kernel and ur good to go
Do you read any post before you post?....facepalm
I don't think he has any problem now, as long as he didn't tell us anything more.....

try fresh install then use the flashable superuser zip in the thread it will work
are you already unlock bootloader or your using stuck?
and hope your x8 can unlock bootloader.
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
Re-install GDX.
Then flash the superuser zip from the rom thread through CWM.
I don't suggest overclock,if you want big difference in performance you better buy a new phone...but if you want it that much, try it
