[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...

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.

Maybe you should send an PM to daoxian( im sorry if i wrote it wrong) and ask him for his opinion about it

[Q] How much time?

Hello there

Then i downloaded FroyoBread v023 Final, entered xrecovery and installed it. After the instillation was finished i choose to reboot. Now it shows the android logo and it is stuck there for at least 20 minutes. How much time should i wait?
Thanks in advance.

Step to upgrade x8 to GingerDX v025 + ALF kernel

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

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.....

EDIT: Found an answer elsewhere. Sorry again.

Sorry for reviving this but would I be ok if I upgraded from v19 to v026 without any further steps. Or would a clean install be better?

No just find the baseband file and flash it on flashtool
Sent from my X8 using xda app-developers app

i recommend to you to start from scratch, 2.1, root, flash baseband, install busybox, install CWM recovery, the full wipe and flash rom, you can flash the baseband with flashtool, and i think there is no risk, i have done it several times, the baseband xxxx15 is required to flash custom roms.
