[Q] GingerDX - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys
Am kind of lost At the Gdx instruction thingies
Okay i know how 2 install it
..
So
i have the 2.1 ..
With all the required Stuff
the baseband number...etc
So is it now like always?
P.S: My bootloader is unlocked ..
So again is it like always
install ZIP From either Xrec.. Or CWM??
And about the recommendation 2 install The Linux
is it Safe???????
Completely Safe i mean???
And what are the benefits of Linux + GDX ?
..
your answers are gonna be the reason 2 either install the Rom Or not :/
So please HELP?

I did like this :
1.FULL wipe
2.flash gingerdx v017
3.flash linuxdx
And everything is good Is it safe? If you did everything all right its safe now with latest gdx with latest linuxdx i have=NO LAG AT ALL, EVEN WITH MANY APPS INSTALLED AND LOW RAM! ! i really easily recommend it to you

If you read carefully GingerDX v014+ requires CWM for install it, for v013- versions you can install with xRecovery.
And GingerDX is safe, little bugs in some versions but with solution in almost all.
In my opinion the battery drain is the most important issue, with the Governor in ONDEMAND my battery drains just in the night 20%, that's a lot. Now, with Smartass, the battery drains just 3% over night.
I don't know about the performance with LinuxDX Kernel. I can't help you with that.
I'm sure that in the respective post you can get more information.

Totally wrong order. You should:
1. copy rom to SD
2. flash kernel from PC
3. install rom from X8 recovery
4. full wipe
0 - make backup

Guys for the love of God don't Get me confused ..

Just flash the kernel,ater that do afull wipe, and then flash the ROM in CWM-Recovery.
And if it´s not stable, flash stock ROm with stock kernel again and flash ONLY GingerDX without the Kernel.

Dude
while flashing the Linux
it stopped ..
And told me 2 tick the God damn USB debugging !!
DAMN I FORGOT 2 TICK IT BEFORE !!
And the phone now won't Go ON..
At ALL !!
it just shakes ..
Then nothin
Am trying 2 Fix it with Sony ericsson update service
But the installation is STUCK!
completely it won't Work..
..
Damn????

you should flash by flashtools .

Or the battery is low.. it happened to me once when flashing my gf's x8. It took a while for me to realise it. Lol. Just a suggestion, based from my experienced.

KERNEL - this you flashing using FlashToll from PC
ROM - zip file that you installing from CWM or xRecovery
Proper order (I assume that bootloader is unlocked already):
1. Make backup of apps using TitaniumBackup then xRecovery or CWM
2. copy new ROM to SD
3. turn on USB debugging
4. disconnect USB cable
5. shut down phone
6. run FlashTool and press "flash"
7. press and hold "back" button in phone and plug in USB
8. wait for flash is done ("flash complete ... disconnect ...")
9. disconnect USB
10. turn on phone and start tapping screen to enter CWM
11. using CWM menu install custom zip
12. do full wipe
13. reboot
14. wait.... it can take up to 5 mins
15. install Titanium and restore apps
If it will not run you just flash back stock kernel, then seus for stock rom, root it, install xrecovery or cwm and restore backup.

Brain blown by cwm , mod , linux ,flash , bootloader WTH??

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
2. is there a more simple way to bootload my phone?
3.what does bootload do?
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!

is it normal for the phone to get crazy lag for the 1st day of installing your mod? the dx mod crashed ( crashed seriously ) and i got the option to force close ...i gave me a facepalm and i just rebooted and tried cruzt ...and cruzt is lagging now ...

u can try:
-full wipe

-wipe dalvik cache
before and after changing ROMs
i always do that and no problems till now..
will wiping dalvik and cache clear all your link2sd app?

1. root your phone

3. flash gingerdx version 013 !!!!!!! (using XRecovery)
4. boot your phone in gingerdx013 and then reboot in CWM recovery !!!!!
5. flash gingerdx version 021 !!!!!!! (using CWM)
6. flash the other applications for stock kernel recommanded by dx
7. enjoy
gingerdx 013 and 021 + stock kernel apps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188486
the link gingerdx013 didnt work for me...simply google it
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..

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

well i read the forums but i didnt discover the same problem as me ...so again is the stock x8 rom not supposed to work after i flash the kenrel or am i doing something wrong?(ican get to cwm).MOreover,do i have to load the custom rom file first,then flash the kernel,then flash the loaded rom?
dude, flash nAa v10. after you flash it, the kernel logo will appear followed by the battery sign.
press power button, the phone will boot and the kernel logo will appear.
you will be sent do CWM Menu.
if you have a compatible ROM for nAa kernel, do a full wipe and reboot and see if the ROM boots successfully.
if you dont have a compatible ROM, do a full wipe, install CM 2.1.8 and then reboot.
U have to unlock bootloader first before flashing kernel,
this is the step (with stock kernel and rom installed and root) :
- unlock bootloader
- flash kernel
- enter cwm
- wipe data
- install custom rom
- wipe data again
- restart system
and ur good to go

You cant load stock rom with a custom kernel. Just flash GingerDx Rom and you should be fine. Flash the kernel first using the flash tool, then flash the rom using CWM and then turn on the phone

Here is a newbie guide to unlock the bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436924&page=2
After you unlocked BL you can flash the kernel with flashtool (with the latest one)
-Don't forget to copy you're rom to SDcard!
When the nAa logo appears hit the back button and you're in cmw menu.
full wipe->instal custom rom-> reboot your phone !
first flash your kernel and then install custom rom...

[Q] Bootloop with nAa10 on X8/E15i [SOLVED!]

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

There are some problem that causes custom rom cannot boot. I will state the problem but, you gonna go search it for yourself.
1.Busybox not correctly installed
2.Root incorrectly
3.Baseband incompatible
4.Rom need custom kernel to work (Extra care.)

Im guessing your coming from stock ,, so heres what you gotta do
if you bought the cell recently you don't need tio update your baseband,,
anyways heres what you must do
1. Root your phone
2.install xrecovery /Cwm
3.Move your desired rom to you memory cards,, not on any folder directly on the card
4. reboot and open xrecovery/Cwm(whichever the rom requires)
5.Data reset
6.Flash rom
anyways some roms require custom kernels in that case learn howto unlock your bootloader and flash the required custom kernel
and your good to go
Hit the thanks button if i helped

-use flashtool
Okay now,
-root your phone(turn on usb debugging. don't remove usb yet)
-install busybox (don't remove usb yet)
-reboot your phone, if flash tool on PC showing busybox version : XXX XXX or whatever you are good to go if not, redo, (Problem in flashtool, driver or usb debugging not turned on)
-install xRecovery
-continue on Post by AbirXtreme ~
Note: when busybox showing version, there's is no need to use seus to go back again. you may just pull out the battery(with usb unplugged), wait for 10 sec and turn on again. Experiment with installing xRecovery on phone boot-up and try again without using seus... and if you stuck on the sony ericsson logo, wait... then try lock your screen. if screen can be locked (turn dark) mean that your root+busybox are good but xRecovery are not, just try many times to get to it.... and if all those above is not working... search other dev or thread

ah, sorry to my previous post.... i wasn't read it carefully....
now that you can enter xRecovery/Cwm is good
now what you need is,
1. check the rom post for more info, if it says for custom kernel/alfs kernel/nAa kernel. Sorry you can't use this as your rom.(unlocking your bootloader will fix this issue. WARNING:It's dangerous, search )
2. Try flash my Fix for stock kernel and Fix for low performance at my post in dev section
3. Try full-wipe in every rom if you still have this problem
4. Cannot help your further
A little stupid hint...
Are you sure you are stuck at se logo? I mean, have you wait enough? Sometimes it gets up to 5 min to start and especially first time...

I think I understand you problem here

Do not Full wipe after installing ROM
Always full wipe before installing, not after....I hope this helps
Change Your Baseband! if Your Baseband finish in .......06
you need change it to ............15
Check your baseband in Settings/about phone
I Haved This problem and I Solve it Changing My Baseband! xD
so as mine can any one know how to upgrade 11W42
it is probably the fact you need custom kernel. But before trying to unlock bootloader, turn phone off,, take back cover and battery off and check your phones date ie
10w56 or 11w34 etc

Not in some cases. Some DEVS put when to do full wipe. So it depends on what the installation instructions are
