[Q] what is rooting, rom? newbie inside :] - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

can anyone tell me what is rooting, rom? and how to customize and to do it?
i find some forum about that but i cant understand it..
i hope someone help me about this.. thanks a lot..

With root you get superuser privelegies at your phone..it mean that you can do all what you want with your phone...If you wanna root your phone easiest way is download x8toolbox from this forum and root your phone( enable debugging before that and your baseband must end at 015)after that you need to install xrecovery or cwm or both, you can do it via x8toolbox too, than downoad rom you want and if its installed via xrecovery(reboot your phone) when you see white se logo start pushing back button and if cwm start taping your screen, choose install custom zip choose your rom from sd card install it, do full wipe( in options of recovery) reboot and you are done.
P.S. BW before posting such posts use your search button!!! Because this question is answered a million times!!!

thanks a lot.. my last question, do i need to update my X8 to 2.1 before rooting or customing rom? )

Actually you dont need...but if your baseband is not 015 you should try to update it to get latest baseband

[Q] Wellcom A99 booting stuck on welcome screen page

I am really in need of help about Huawei ideos X6 (Wellcom A99 - Thailand).
Yesterday I tried to install CWM v.5, root Wellcom A99,using CWM Recovery v.5.0.2.3(refer to this method at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278027), and it's done successfully as CWM message notice. after i reboot to os, everything seemed fine untill I used ROM Manager (ROM Manager App) to change something just for my experiment such as change fonts, themes, the ROM Manager App required me to reboot the system to apply changes.When I rebooted the system, it's stuck on the first page screen (wellcom welcome screen)and now no matter I tried to reboot, battery out and anything, it wont go nowhere. Please someone provide me with the solution and process. Thank you very much for those who will try to help me out about my Wellcom A99. I'm in need of your advice.
Please help. Thank you very much.

I am not sure about what ROM manager did to your device, but I guess you are stuck on boot splash screen.
And I guess you will be still able to get in recovery mode.
(Just pull your battery and replace it if you are stuck on splash screen.)
When your device is turned off, press Vol UP + Vol DOWN and then press Power button - keep all of them pressed till you sense long vibration (Usual way to get in recovery mode)
Now restore or install any ROM.
Post your experience.
Now restore or install any ROM.

Now it would sound so silly to you Napstar, but I have to accept it that I don't know how and I dont want to take a wrong direction. Since I'm very new to this, can you help guiding me on how to install ROMs. Yes, you are right I can still get into recovery mode, but I just don't know how to continue and where I can get all those ROMs. Please bear with me.
Thank you, Pitt.
just go to android development section and look at the beginner guide its easy don't worry

Which recovery version are you using?
CWM v5.0.2.3 has an option for mounting sdcard as USB device.
Boot into recovery
Connect your device to PC via USB
Option mount and storage >> mount USB storae
Stay in that menu till you want to use your sdcard (for copying files)
If you have recovery menu v2.
Choose CWM recovery first and do nb0 file copying by following above instructions.
Then reboot into recovery (advanced >> reboot recovery)
Choose stock recovery and choose install firmware.nb0 option.
If this gives any errors post it here. Someone amongst us will surely help you.
Best of luck!

1. root your phone
2. install xrecovery
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..

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970842
use root explorer and put the files you downloaded to the path system/bin
and its done... reboot and once you see the sony ericsson logo press the back button repetedly, am pretty sure that with 2 or 3 clicks would be enough to access Xrecovery
press thanks if it was helpfull

First root your phone with flashtol*latest is the best.
Then download busybox.apk it-s installer for busybox. Install busy box using file manager. Then download E15i xrecovery installer.apk. and install them using file manager. You must to accept superuser notification to install busybox and xrecovery. You will get SUPERUSER ON PHONE AFTER ROOT!
Whoa if you want to install gxp 23 you will need unlocked bootloader and alfs kernel and this is a risky procedure.also v23 has some bugs.. I recommend that you install Gingerxperia v22 which works with stock kernel (you first need to root, install busybox and xrecovery like the others said) remember, before installing a new rom make sure you create backup of your current one, in case sth goes wrong...

Probably if you wouldnt able to understand, make sure watch the videos on youtube, then you can install, but do with you're own risk

But needs root also, so I will root first , but before that I want to take a backup from my stock rom without root , and when I went to my phone ClockworkMod recovery I did not find the Backup and restore option,! may be only after the rooting? How I Can do a backup to use it to revert to first state?

you cant, you would need to download the original firmware to flash it to stock, you might try one of the backup tool in the market but a full nandroid backup you cant do unless rooted

Ok I have a root now ,
when I rebooted my note to recovery I get this : Android system recovery <3e>
It looks like CWM but has no backup and restore options and thats why Iam confused
How I can get the CWM I used to use with my HTC Sensation
It looks like you only did root when what you wanted was root + CWM.
Go back to Dr.Ketan's guide and look at the procedure below this line that is in the first post:
-----------------------------------------Forget all Above and follow simple Step below------------------------------
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My summary of your best options:
Follow from Step 2 and use the already-rooted.bat file
OR
The better (in my opinion) way:
Purchase Mobile Odin Pro(MOP) from the market and go get the CF Root Kernel that matches your firmware to get CWM. Just put the Kernel on your sdcard and run MOP, make sure EverRoot and all injections are checked, select file, find kernel, flash. Done.
MOP has also enabled us to retain root when flashing stock firmware updates by using the EverRoot and injections options, however you will lose most CWM functions when this is done. To regain CWM, you simply follow the same steps as above to update to a matching CF Root Kernel.

Dear beestee,
So: I have Kernel KK2 - Download This - and Extract
then : I am Already Rooted - Execute "already-rooted.bat" and follow the instructions
is there any side effects ? like format ot can not Upgrade via OTA or else?
Is there any thing need to be packed up first? like the original kernel if this method will change it
Nothin side effect, you can upgrade over OTA, BUT If you update over OTA/kies, you will lose Root.
So you have to use CWM or Mobile odin to update newer ROM

Ok I done it and it working, but I found that CWM is a program now you can access from phone not like in HTC where you must inter bootloader and MAGLDR to inter CWM
I can make the backup and restore from inside the program - right?
You can get it with entering recovery too, you have to press Home + Vol UP + Power to enter in recovery mode.
you can simply do it with inside app - restart in recovery
when you give command to backup, it will restart and auto enter in recovery mode and finish it

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...

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
