[Q] How to update rom to latest CM7 nightlies ? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I want to know how to update CM7 to latest nightlies without waiting devs to make an update to the ROM.
Im using GingerDX.
Is it just flashing the cm7 zip in CWM? Which file to download from official CM7 site.
Any idea is welcome.

Install only rom, not kernel.
Use one of FXP028 FXP030 or stable CM71 kernel.

Means i download the nightly zip and flash in cwm, thats all?
Why need to flash kernal?

nAa's kernel seemed to be working fine also with CM nightly

i would like to know how too...

Can u explain? I dont want any kernal, i just want CM7 nightlies. Im using stock kernal.

Only those kernals work? Im using stock kernal.
How to install the rom? flash using cwm?

Custom kernels works only with unlock bootloader.
CM7 rom doesn't work on stock kernel. Only on custom kernel.
If your bootloader is unlock, the best kernel for CM7 right now is either nAa's kernel or fxp028/030 as mentioned previously.
But cam is vga only and fm radio doesn't work yet on CM rom.
If you still want to try CM rom, flash kernel i mentioned and install CM update zip in CWM.

CyanogenMod

At the beginning : this is my first post forgive me any misstake.
Is there a possibilty to flash the official Cyanogenmod 7.1 without unlocking the bootloader and flashing a kernel?
BTW: Is there a good CM9 or other ICS rom for the E15i
( for Ics i would flash the kernel. not for cm 7.1 because GingerXperia is very nice)
Thanks
No you cant flash official cyanogen mod 7.1 without installing custom kernel.
And there is no cm9 rom which can be used daily for x8.
Currently we have two AOSP ICS ROMs troufiniou's which is stoped I think and paul-xxx's. They still habe some bugs and in my opinion they are still not for daily use.
There are some guys that try to make a CM9.
Still just use GingerDx or somethin that is checked from the community!
Thanks
THx for fast reply. I will use GingerXperia. GingerDx works with stock kernel??
I will wait for a stable CM9.
Thank you very much
you can install rom(just rom) with out unloucking boot loader
does someone has experiences with gingerdx and gingerxperia?? which is better?

hmm...well we have the same rom and i've already tried searching for custom OC kernels for it....but i've found none :crying:
...but i've already tried different roms WITH an OC kernel if u want it, here are the links:
>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734312 CM7 Kang by Boype
>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454274 Zeus Rom
they're both cm7, so you'll have to choose if u want ics or OC.....
[edit] the info is wrong. Zeus is not cm7 but it's based on GB so they're pretty much the same[edit]
If u want to use a different kernel that is not with a rom, well sorry i don't know of some XD but i think there's a separate link just for the kernel of the Zeus rom, but it's not an OC kernel.....
to install just flash it using clockwork mod recovery by "install from zip" but make sure to make a backup first, i've had bootloops before when i flashed random kernels XD
ps: there's not much difference with or without an oc kernel, but that's just me......u should compare the difference...
...Hope i helped
Wait!

I forgot to mention this recent rom:
>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839564
Its called Mercurified by SoulExertz. Its based on CM7 also, but the difference between this and the other two roms is that it only focuses on SPEED so even without OC it's still fast, but you can overclock it to 1.2 GHz if u want you should try it out
*ahem*I am one of the pre alpha testers of the ROM.

best kernel

Hey guys im a newbie to captivate and its developments and i need your help..............
i came from the htc g2 where there is no needed for flashing kernels for backing up roms/restoring or for wifi issues, everything was pretty much straight forward after root , but with the captivate you need a specific kernel for somethings to work...i need to backup roms and restore it......so my question which kernel comes alreaady rooted/hack to flash with odin and support wifi,clockwork,backup with clockwork recovery and everything ?
plus after flashing the kernel can i flash a recovery via rom manager?
i want a kernel that supports must miui roms and asop roms (ex: ics, jellybean)
and flashing kernels dosent break/erase root right?
PS: does a rom come with its own kernel?

do i lose root or have to root everytime i flash a new kernel
or when i flash a rom
Devil Kernel is best on JB ROMs. Corn Kernel on GB. Every ROM comes with a kernel in it. It depends on the ROM. Reading is important.
Ok...so I rooted with corn kernel and flashed xm7...but asphalt 7 is too slow...can I flash a kernel to make the game faster ex: devil kernel and keep the Tom with root

[Q] Help with my Galaxy Note

Hi, I need help with my Galaxy Note. I just buy secondhand Galaxy Note, it has XXLS2 4.1.1 rom for now. I want flash AOSPA 4.2.1 rom on it. My previous phone was HTC HD2, so I'm used to flashing without limitation So, I need your help to tell me if I'm thing good about it. So, firstly I must flash Philz kernel for my phone, to get root and recovery. But for my rom is only version 2.7... is it safe to flash? And next I can just do full wipe, reboot, and flash AOSPA 4.2.1 rom, yes?
You won't be able to flash a aokp rom using philz 2.7 as it will not install and error 7.
-Install Philz and gain root and cwm
-Then place all the required files to flash the rom to storage.
-Then flash a different safe kernel like hydracore or cm kernel.
-Boot into recovery and do wipes and formats and flash. the rom. (while on a different kernel you might not be able to boot into the rom. Just recovery)
And version 2.7 is safe? Why there is no 3.99 version for this rom? But when I finally flash PA rom, I can stay with kernel included in this rom? Or I need to flash cm kernel second time? I'm going to make backup before flashing new rom, but I'm just wondering if I can normally recover this on PA rom or I need to flash stock philz kernel before restoring... So the "diffrent safe" kernel may be "Kernel_CM10.1_20130126_Nightly_CWM.zip", yes? It will work with aosp based pa rom? I'm going to flash 2.99 version...

Yes 2.7 is safe. Just that it cannot install some roms.
Because it's and old kernel.
Yes stay with the kernel included in the rom
Yes PA has a safe kernel and the backup can be restored.
Any kernel like hydracore or cm will do.
Also 2.99 PA might not to that's stable. So.. Your choice. You can use and older version like 2.57 as well
Actually Philz 2.7 is ICS/older JB, and therefore not subject to error 7. Good to wipe and Flash ROMs with. (It's safe too)

[Q] CM 10.1.2 + WerewolfJB kernel

Hello,
I've decided to root and unlock my P880 to install a custom rom.
I'd prefer to use it with a fast, stable Kernel. The WerewolfJB kernel v007 looks good.
My question is:
Can I use that Kernel with CM 10.1.2 or will it cause any problems? The thread mentions that the kernel is made for the 10.1 Nightlies.
Thanks.

In CWM Recovery, Install CM stable or Nightly, Flash Gaaps, Install Werewolfs Kernel v007 and reboot the system.
After success reboot the phone once again.
(make a nondorid backup of your current Rom in case)
Good Luck.
