[Q] Can someone help me please(xperia x8 crisis)??

Hi guys!!
I'm new here, I found your page cause I am very interested in the update of my xperia x8, I have to say, you're awesome, from 2.1 to 2.3, and I get this ROM "GingerDX v022 2.3.7", i've already checked my kernel and base band, they're both updated,
Well, my trouble is that when I did all the process with xRecovery step by step, after that, I installed the ROM and it got stocked in the gingerdx logo with a short sound and It won't start now, I dont know what to do, otherwise I'm gonna find another ROM that works better than this one,
It would be nice that you can help me with this or recommend me a better one
Thanks!!

Yes, if You're stuck on a bootanimation try to format the data from xRecovery, else try to change the Kernel

Why you did not try Prime HD 10 Rom based od CM 7.2..Its very clean rom , without any unnused apps etc..
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480404&highlight=prime+hd
P.S: I think that, you must unlock bootloader for that Rom, because reqiured Unlocked Bootloaded, with Custom kernel like nAn, or alfs..

Can someone rename the topic name as "Some questions about the Xperia X8 modding"? (if it is possible)
Thank you another time.
So, it's the first time that I try to do modding on an Android smartphone and I have mainly two question. One of my friends gives me as a gift this telephone with a GingerDX v022 and now that it is mine, I want to flash a more updated ROM.
Here are the my doubts:
1) A lot of ROMs requires a latest firmware with a Baseband (i think) to flash the ROM itself.
For example, and just for example, the MiniCM9 requires the
Latest 2.1.1.A.0.6/2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware / Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What is this?
2) How can I see if my bootloader is unlocked? If my device has already a GingerDX v022, should the bootloader be already unlocked?
Thank you. :fingers-crossed:

You have to rename it by yourself because you're the creator of this thread.

[Q] Unlock bootloader to flash new rom?

Hey guys!
Found my old xperia x8 and i wanted to flash a new rom.
rooted it and installed xrecovery.
do i need to unlock the bootloader to flash a new rom?
Or just for the kernel?

you unlock your bootloader to flash a custom kernel. Some roms are for stock kernel and others are for customs. What rom do you want to install? Also you maybe will need cwm and not xrecovery.

no,that means its risky to unlock the bootloader,you can install safely any rom that is for stock kernel,i recommend you gingerdx.

thats isnt standar (in fact i dont remember how the battery is at 2.1), it depends on many things but the battery life at gdx is very good.

installed gingerdx and it stucks at bootscreen

dont worry
can you enter cwm?
if yes factory reset and reinstall the rom
if not http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35338935&postcount=2

ok dont worry,its just that you were so close..lol
be sure to follow the installation instructions carefully,lets find what you did wrong the last time, did you factory reset before installing the rom? Also check the baseband number this time.

nope, didnt wipe.
just installed cwm, flashed rom, and got ****ed^^
downloading the stock rom where the 015 BB is already installed

Simple,don't put a kernel in the ROM,you are not obliged to do that.Also,CoCafe doesn't want his kernel by default in ROMs.

If people want to install ROM they need to use custom recovery. Only kernel that is supported now is CoCore, so 99% of chance is that they will already have CoCore.

If so,I think you need to extract it.Better ask CoCafe if he gave you the permission or look for a guide.
Also,your "clean" behaviour will not lead to an answer.

You can use this file type as well... Check updater script of any existing rom which has a kernel of same for type... And copy the same line... But first ask for permission from the cook of the rom...
Or extract your kernel and search for mount points for kernel and use it..
