i tried gingercruzt 7.4 , latest kuyadroid , froyobread v 23 , latest fd xperience
same thing happened

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

ok thanks i will
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

[Q] gingerdx - xrecovery?

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...

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

I dont know what to do. I use the MIUI ics by bravovn actually. But i've try with stockrom and cm9. Thx ya'll. Sorry for my poor english.
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA App
Do a clean install... go to cwm, wipe data and cache, format system from "mounts and storage", wipe dalvik cache in "advanced", install rom, wipe data and cache again, and reboot.
okay. I'll do it. I need a rooted phone? Or a specific base rom?
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA App
You had gingerbread before flashing anything, right?
Yeah. When i'd buy my phone. Now i'm using MIUI ics but i'll to use cm9 cuz cm9 is root
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA App
Every custom rom is rooted...
But my MIUI ics denied all root acces :s Anyway. So i can use any base rom ?

Édit : i'd try with ur advice but that doens't work. I'll try with the stockrom. I've sait 5 minutes then ive pull out the battery and try again. What is the necesarry to flash the rom?
Tbh, I have absolutely no idea what might be cause of your problem... I personally never had such problems, when something didn't work I was just doing clean install and that was it, I was changing roms like my underwear
Why i'm the only one who got some troubles? I'il go back to my stock rom gingerbread 2.3.6 and try again nobody could help me? Maybe i need to wait more time to let my phone boot.

Also,you have to full wipe/factory reset at cwm before installing the rom(sometimes after,you can see this at the rom thread)

this aint sd problem i think... repair with SEMC.. and try re rooting the phone and then carry on the install.. if it still gives problem that zip is to blame:good:
@CnC-ROCK the thanks was just to show that what you are doing is right. continue to do this and you'll earn yourself a million thanks, one day.
@OP do you get any status 7 or similar errors? what ROM exactly are you trying to install?
I dot get any errors.
I tried with Blur v5 (based on cm7) and CyanogenMod 7 RC4 V7

it should install even if not supported for a kernel.. it will not boot or give problems after it.. but it wont stop installation of rc4
anyway.. rc4 supports alfs v9
