Hi,
Thank's DX for amazing ROM, Install was very easy, just rename to update.zip and use xrecovery.
I would realy like to try the LinuxDX to match. I have trouble understanding the install process. I have not gorn further then xrecovery befour.
I searched and could not find any help.
I also have trouble understanding how to install linuxdx. The instructions here seem to be aimed at 'advanced' users only, is there a more simple guide here explaining in step by step detail how to go thorugh process of unlocking bootloader, installing the kernel, and then installing the rom?
It would be a great help to many of us to have this.
Impster
this thread already here search b4 posting new thread..
1- u have to root your phone (find 'super one click' v1.9.1 and download)
-Go to setting/application allow unknown source, and usb debugging
-Connect USB (PC and Phone)
-"don't mount!"
-open SOC.exe
-Click ROOT
-Wait until finnish (done?) let go to step 2
2- u need to unlock bootloader (bootloader tool)
-connect your phone to pc.
-unpack the 7zip, and extract to destop, open the folder.
-double click "msm7227_semc.cmd"
-press any button and wait (done?) got to step 3
3- Download kernel (linuxDX isit?) and save to desktop.
4- Flashing kernel (flash tool)
-unpack the compressed of 'flash tool', and copy to your desktop
-U have to move/copy the 'LinuxDX.ftf' file to 'flash tool folder/firmwares'
-shutdown phone
-Run 'X10FlashTool.exe'
-click flash
-now U can see the LinuxDX on 'branding' tab(can?) (U almost done)
-click 'ok' (it should be a few seccond only)
-When the flashing complete (your got LinuxDX kernel)
5- Installing GingerDX by doixanh
-Download the lattest version (http://www.multiupload.com/NSLK4DAZ99) save to desktop
-install using CWM (step 5 U can find arround with easy step)
Good luck!
Can't find "Thank You" button, so Thank You for helping nelikp, I've had the same question
Another thing, my phone is SIM Locked. If I install LinuxDX will it unlock my SIM so I could use other phone operators?
Thanks
[EDIT]
I've found answer to my question: no network unlock

It's just the version number text that I think doixahn forgot to rewrite to v20, so it's not a big deal. If you flashed v20, then you've got v20, no matter what the text says.

yeah i found it in GingerDx thread the way to install it...but ist so simple form noob like me....i need someone to explain step by step please ....
TQ
Put gdx on your SD card
Boot into xRecovery
Select install custom zip
Select the second choice
Select Gdx zip
Wait until it finishes the installation
Make a full wipe ( you will lose your apps contacts and messages so back them up with something)
Reboot

how im suppose to boot from xRecovery??
Turn off your phone and when you see sony ericsson sign start pushing back button and you will go xrecovery (offcourse if you have been instaled it before)
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
yeah already install it but why i face this problem...
"the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. please try again ." what?
Install phone hotfix V015 via ClockworkMod Recovery...pls see 1st page GDx...
ok last question...i think gingerdx suppport multi touch isnt it? but why i cant use the function....
Maybe you have a Cypress digitizer. Look at the stickies for info and Q&As
Actually, you have to install GDX by using ClockworkMod Recovery.
Take a look at the requirements at GingerDX thread.

First you install a xrecovery-version of GDX, for example v013
than you can install his LinuxDX
and last install the actually v017 of GDX

If you want use kernel + rom:
- copy zipped rom to sd
- flash kernel
- boot phone, tap screen to get in to recovery
- install custom zip
GingerDX v001~v014 - install with xRecovery
GingerDX v015 and above - install with CWM
i used gingerdx yesterday but it was very lag...so i heard i need to use cwm to properly install gingerdx (cause mine is v20+) so i search for rom manager (i thinks it's same as CWM ) apk's files ...i downloaded is and tried to search for my device but failed to , so i googled it and it says i need
''-1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash Custom Kernel (sin file included inside the zip file, or ready made file here )
3. Install ROM using CWM provided with the kernel (after flash, switch on and keep puhsing back button until phone enter CWM Recovery mode. You cannot use xRecovery anymore... ''
i don't understand anything about what he said ...i googled the bootloader guide (from xda ) but it's so complex i dun even understand ...but then it says i need to do something called flash got this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashrom ... don't undestand!! okay okay no more complaining to sum it all up
1.how to use cwm on xperia x8? i cant find my model on the chart

4.what and how to flashrom your x8?
5.what is linuxDX for? i heard it speeds up your phone ...
6.how does cwm works? is it similar to xrecovery?
i tried to install gingerdx2.0 with xrecovery but it destroyed many of my apps and it's not smooth at all ... sorry for making so many threads...i really am curious of my phone and wanting to know all these rom , root stuffs ...
I tot I already tell solution for your problem b4..
U simply install gingerCruz or whatever rom (which one can install via Xrecovery)
(I sure this rom have dual recovery(CWM & Xrecovery) pre install)
now when u sucess installing GC,
u can boot into CWM by pressing volume down button and/or tap screen
and now the time u can install gingerDX.zip
and make sure fullwipe after and b4 installing GDX.zip
let forget about LinuxDX or whatever kernel first...
(because u failed to fix simple matter (installing GDX))
so if u wanna flashing kernel, it most dificult than installing rom
so my advice is please pass this matter first
REMEMBER...flasing kernel U have to unlock bootloader
(your phone can brick if U done any wrong)
ohoh i think i get you there ...u use a rom that can be installed via xrecovery and the rom naturally has CMW preinstalled yes ? and when i done installing( do i need to full wipe for this? ) the rom that can be installed via xrecovery press the close button long then the CWM will come up ( i tried b4 via cruzt ) then i enter CWM i use it like xrecovery , from there i install GDX and before installing GDX i have to full wipe my phone ...am i right??will full wipe clear my app? and what's GC?
is rom = mod?
and yeah i think imma skip kernel 1st too risky!
THANKS KLIP!

5. flash gingerdx version 021 !!!!!!! (using CWM)
6. flash the other applications for stock kernel recommanded by dx

Give MiniCM 2.0.7 a try... it's run on stock kernel (unlike MiniCM 2.1.6) and the only problem i have is spontaneous reboots now and then... otherwise, it's more stable than anything else i've tried.

It seems that your phone is rooted already
If you want a real stable and fast custom rom go for Froyo Pro 2.2 this is the most stable and fast rom i ever tried. It comes out w/ usual GB features like real dual touch on a cypress digitizer, OC, to name a few.
Just follow the instructions and ur done..

Install Xrecovery
have you rooted your phone already?
If not use SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse to root phone once you root the phone with SuperOneClick reboot phone and busybox should be intalled
make sure you enable USB debuggin...
settings/applications/development enable usb debuggin
to install xrecovery

use root explorer and put the files you downloaded to the path system/bin

press thanks if it was helpfull

I flashed the latest official firmware...
Than after all my attempts i can't install any ROM, except official 2.1.
Please, write me instructions how to install CM7 - i need help...
I have rooted 2.1 with xRecovery - what's next?
Go to xrecrovery choose instal custom zip from sd card hoose zip from sd card find your mini cm 7 install rom and factory reset/full wipe.
It depends on ROM. Some of CM7 works only on custom kernels, so You should first check if You will be able to unlock bootloader. Look behind Your battery - on the stick there should be something like xxWyy which will tell You the year and the week of Your board. If it's older than 11W26 (26th week of 2011) - U may unlock bootloader and install custom kernel (on Your own risk ;P). If not - You shouldn't do this and search for ROMs working on SE stock kernel

Also, some ROM required CWM instead of Xrecovery, so read carefully before attempting anything.
Hmmmm
I unlocked bootloader long time ago(10WW48 on the sticker).
to przemek4113: Just installing from xrecovery gives me a unbooting phone.
I tried Froyo, but it doesn't boot too.
Then i'm flashing(Xrecovery doesn't give me a booting phone even if i recover all system) official 2.1.
This phone was bought with GinderDX on it. But latest versions need new kernels(flashing kernel bricks phone).
May be try Previous versions of GingerDX?
Really, i tried about seven customs...
P.S. I'm installing xrecovery ROM's from Xrecovery and CWM ROM's from CWM...

Mind to elaborate where you read that "latest versions need new kernels"?
GingerDX runs on STOCK KERNEL, LinuxDX as well as Alfs. I fail to find the part in doixanh's post where it says something about forcing a certain kernel to be used.
Make sure you have an older x8 than 11w29, its under the battery. When the number is 11w29 or newer, you'll not get CM. Unlock your bootloader.
Download and flash FXP kernel. Install official CM with the kernel built-in CWM. I recommend to flash nAa kernel after install the CM, it's much better.
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
If you want CM7 you should go to this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362585
That's my fault - i was speaking about another ROM. Not GingerDX - but it doesn't boot too.
I followed advise about miniCM7.
Flashed kernel ->then wiped all(i disliked the message about ext4 - there's no this partition - probably that's the problem???) ->installed ROM. Nothing.
"nAa kernel" logo appears and then it reboots.
UPD:
I've installed GingerXperia(v19) via CWM.
Then -
I've flashed all kernel,fota and smth else(not all files from 2.1.1).
Then it booted...strange)
But i'll try to work with other kernels...

Flash Tool - I've seen links on it thousand times on 4pda.ru, but not here - i suppose it to be in the branch about X10.
http://www.mediafire.com/?z7fmpiragbbdxdu - here is flasher.
http://depositfiles.com/files/c2gllgt6t - or here, with official firmware
It would be great if somebody could provide the step by step procedure of flashing my w8 to get past the se logo....
1)Download all archives above
2)Run flasher
3)Press "Flash" and choose necessary firmware
4)follow advices of software
5)reboot -> You have official 2.1
then
1)check your bootloader(http://4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/1227710/S1tool.7z) with this tool
2)unlock it if it is able for you
3)take root(superoneclick with debugging)
4)make xrecovery
5)install any xrecovery zip
or
alt 5)make CWM
alt 6)install any CWM zip
or
install kernel
then install zip
Firstly try it from xrecovery. If you have some problems - write PM to me)
I have done it and successfully flashed as per flashtool...but now even i cant boot stuck at "sony ericsson" now the animated logo works and reboots automatically...pls help
Have you done "user-wipe" in Flash Tool???
Here is from friendly branchcontains a collection of GingerDX 013-022 and some other goodies in the "Sony Ericsson" folder - i.e. Basebands, PCC, SEUS, Flashtool)

Hi!
I had a problem with my smart (if you call me, it reboot, something reboot automatically). I was using GingerDX v21 and v22. I downgraded to 2.1 via PC Companion but doesn't works.
So, I decided to use MiniCM7. I followed this tuto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553 and the bootloader unlock tuto too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
Well, I did everything correctly, I guess. I see the nAa logo when I turn on my smart and I can enter in CWM-Recovery.
I have installed the MiniCM7-2.1.8-shakira, MiniCM7-2.1.7-shakira, MiniCM7-2.1.6-X8, GingerXperiaRay_V004 and PrimeHD20 but I can't pass of boot (bootlooping).
I don't know if I did something wrong. I had instaled too E15_nAa-09_2.6.29.6-nAa-09 and E15_nAa-06b_2.6.29.6-nAa-06b (first I tried v10). I everytime wipe all data.
If I install the original kernel and rom it works normally. I don't know what I can do. I do the same process three times, wiping all, installing, etc. and nothing!
What I'm doing wrong? There are some possibilities of my smart don't support it?
read this first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011071 to go back to 2.1...
then root, install xrecovery,unlock bootloader,flash nAa kernel you need ,and then
install MiniCM7...
try this method
1.root
2.unlock bootloader
3.flash nAa v10
4.then your phone will have CWM and flash the rom minicm7.218
5.flash google gapps gb
6.reboot and see it bootloop or not??

is this working?
First of all i would like to thanks all the Developers for their Incredible work on this site. I am using this site for a long time it helped me in solving many issues. I flashed many Custom ROMS on My X8 & X10 never had big issues so there was no need to post just becuase there was already so much of information here. But from last 4 days i am messing with my X8 when i tried flashing Jelly Bean Rom. Previously i was using 2.3.7 in my x8.I cant say i am very good but i am not new to these Roms. I actually searched alot but failed so i am here for help. In order to use Jelly Bean my x8 is having Bootloop issue. I follow all the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789713 regarding Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136211. I follow each guidelines but still Bootloop . Not only that i cant use any other custom rom now everytime bootloop. SESU repair my phone but i cant use 2.1 now after using custom roms in x8 for longtime, It feels pathetic Now i dnt want Jelly Bean in x8 anymore i ll be more than happy if i get 2.3.7 back :angel:
I tried different Roms , Kernels but everytime same result "Bootloop"
Rooting fine, Flashing Kernel fine,, Rom instalation fine. Had doubt regarding Unlocking Bootloader ( Whether its properly unlocked or not). so Flashtool says Its "unlocked" but it also said it cant be "unlocked officially". So i tried another way to with s1 tools from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23680742&postcount=1 and r is smaller too RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r8A029". Now i am really confuse. tired and fed up 4 days GingerXperia, JellyBread.Jelly Bean everything failed
But i want to add 1 thing which is related to BLU because i cant dial *#*#7378423#*#* service menu from my x8 is that the clue or issue. Plz members help me out. Thanks in Advance.
Please Help
Damn ..
I have tried many times with naa kernel to flash rooms, but stuck in bootlop.
After I found this tread, flashed baseband 15 (I have selected only baseband to flash), flashed again nAa kernel and then custom ROM and phone is working.
Thanks
