[Q] What am I doing wrong when I'm installing rom? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
It all started when I tried to install the GingerDX v0.15 by xrecovery. Later I tried to install by CWM but it happens what on the movie. Now when I try to install rom happen that what in the film (it's easier to me to show you my problem then describe it): youtube.com/watch?v=is37PXwzIuU
What I'm doing wrong? Know anyone the solution to my problem?
PS sorry for my english
PPS sorry for the music I forgot to cut out it from the movie

GingerDX v014 and up is installed with CWM recovery, not xRecovery. Install CWM with a toolbox (just search "toolbox" in the Development section) and then install GDX again.
Or you can just install GDX v013 and then install the new one as CWM comes preinstalled.
EDIT: Oops, in the vid you install it with CWM. Try re-downloading it. Maybe the file is corrupted.

first do a full wipe try and install froyobread v21 with hot fix as this will install the cwm that is meant for our x8/x10 then install gdx over the top this should solve your problem

I can't understand how it worked for me... I just tried it again and it worked.
Is there a possibility that the ROM did get installed and some features were unable?

Yes, I have already installed many ROM's and somtimes it happens that something is not working

[Q] GingerDX - v017

I installed this version recently and I noticed that there is no multitouch! Before this newest version I was using v013 and multitouch was supported.Any idea why there is no multitouch in latest version?Is it supported in v016?
I install multitouch on GingerDX v17 with x8toolbox beta4
I will try it right now. Thanks.
EDIT: It doesn't work... I get to waiting for device and nothing happens.
GDX need his kernel to support MT or install stock kernel addons.

It's not a problem. DX removed the add ons to enable him to put them in his kernel and provided an add ons pack to flash after installing the rom for those of us on stock kernel. The only "problem" is no one bothers to READ...

hehe. give the poor n00bs a chance. When it starts to go wrong, its just so hard to read!
I think the multitouch module shows something on dmesg in adb shell. But I dont remember whether that was the MDDI module or this multi-touch module. And make sure you used the right module for your digitizer.
I have a little problem with camera apk. The texture (camera view frame) is different than stock gingerbread. I don't know if it is a bug or dx change but it looks terrible. How can i fix that?

doixanh removed dualtouch because he wanted to add on more mods and room for linuxdx to be on there. there is meant to be no dual touch preinstalled on there. thats why i use v013

Sent from my MOLEY_X8 using xda premium
for me..
and hightly recomment is GingerDX v20
and when you know after reading thread by thread you can match with kernel
linuxDX, or Alfs kernel, or nAa kernel...
it can simply make your device faster and smootherst
but beware if you new on kernel
(make sure your know what are U doing when playing with kernel and unlock bootloader)
because it can brick you phone!
and then I sure after this you will screaming here and asking how to save your bricked phone!!
here the answer use SEUS
gingerdxv20 for sure

U have to follow installation properly
make sure install GDX with CWM instead Xrecovery
and fullwipe..
or maybe your device 'special' same like my friend phone
(when I flashing GDX 20 and GDX v19 on his phone)
I found this problem = sdcard no show
but when in recovery = all files and folder prety there
and I have no idea why....

when u reboot..
press volume down key or/and tap screen (when u see SE white logo)
u'll see CWM recovery and install GDX by this way
or if u can get into CWM th8 mean U don't have CWM
so install dual recovery.zip first (u can use search button)
or install other rom which one have dual recovery pre install
sorry long explaination
and hit thanks button twice!
thanks! (thanked already )
so in summary ...
open xrecovery and find CWM
if CWM is missing then go donwload it...
is cwm same with xrecovery?or is it and extension?
then use cwm and install the mod instead of xrecovery (do i need to system wipe?)
reboot phone then done?
hmmm just wondering will my link2sd apps will stay?
does it have anything to do with busybox? according to dotsen i must not update busybox

[Q] GingerXperia v25 installation process

HI guys......
i downloaded gingerxperia v25 & 24b
but i read in android development that it cannot be installed through xrecovery...
Please tell me how to install the above versions....
Thanks in advance
Get CWM recovery or install some rom who has CWM too and then install GingerXperia.
You can install first GingerDX v13 with xrecovery who has CWM too.

Did you use the latest version of superoneclick ? Try different versions , and see.
Still if you can't root , then
I don't know but maybe the X8toolbox may help.
Although I do NOT know for sure if it will or will not work. You can try.
You may as well root with puppett13th's x8toolbox.
I just rooted my friend's X8 with it.

i dont know how to use flashtool..is there guideline or instruction set to be followed, then it will be more helpful..to start wifi again.
@bosky_itsme
You only can flash a kernel If u have unlocked your bootloader.
There is a guideline for how to use flashtool to Flash roms, kernel..etc
Search in General Section.
For your WiFi problem,
flash your rom again or do a factory reset. If it wouldn't solved the problem, see for the bugs GDX v21b thread.
Good Luck to you.
@OP
Have you installed the drivers?
If even superoneclick (latest) doesn't work for you, then try to use X8toolbox or Flashtool

[Q] Bootloop after busybox install.

Hi.
I have an xperia x8, with gingerdx 028, stock kernel.
Today I try to flash a newer busybox to it, cause the superuser not works properly (sometimes didn't ask for permissions).
I've installed one from the market, after that I stuck at bootloop.
No CWM recovery, only adb, can't boot to recovery with adb reboot recovery, so I don't have root permissions.
My question is, that is it possible, to change the busybox, without recovery and root?
ONLY ADB WORKS!!
Thank you so much!

Use Sony PCC and Reflash stock rom using 'repair your phone' option. Do not install the busybox from market agan. It's known to unroot and give bootloops on x8/x10/w8. download x8toolbox.final from here and root. everything should be fine from them on.

You aren't suppose to update busybox on your own..
Also , I don't think it was a busybox problem causing the bug..
Next time , simply do a full-wipe and reflash your ROM.
You shouldn't touch busybox on stock kernel because it will brick the phone.

I have the same problem with Busybox bricking my phone. I followed this tutorial to install SuperCharger and when I install BusyBox (1.19.4) and reboot, my phone gets bricked.
EDIT:
I have GingerDX v30 and stock kernel.
It seems that Busybox above v1.15.3 bricks the phone when you have stock kernel.

You cant update busybox while you are on a custom rom.
use the busybox zip provided in the supercharger thread

The culprit is not the kernel, but the ROM(s). As I said elsewhere, there's at least one ROM for stock kernel in which updating BusyBox brings no problems: MiniCM6. And, of course, any ROMs using it as base, such as AtiFroyo.

Busybox NEWER than version 1.15.3 (the version we ship by default with the ROM) does NOT work on Stock Kernel. Simple as that.
Contrary to what you said the culprit is kernel and not rom.
On Alfs you'll be updated to Busybox 1.19.4 once you install the Alfs AddOn, but as said above there's no way to update on Stock kernel - it will simply not work and brick the boot of the ROM.
Believe me, we tried everything.

this is what B.Jay had to say. So now if you know more than B.Jay then tell the OP that there is no problem in updating busybox or else donot pass on wrong info
@CnC-ROCK - Have you read what prezident36 wrote? He's on GingerDX v028 on stock kernel. The zip from the Supercharger thread won't work.
Also, B.Jay is wrong in this particular case. And as elderduke has pointed out, you can update the stock ROM on stock kernel without problems, hence the problem does not lie with the kernel.

Don't quote me on this one, but I'm guessing that the problem stems from the hackdroid base. Both FroyoBread and GingerDX use it... as well as kuyaDROID. And I wouldn't be surprised if GingerCruzt used it also, but I don't remember trying to update BusyBox in it.
