[Q] ICS Port Recovery - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I just installed the ICS port Alpha 9 and now I can't acess recovery even though the changelog says it's fixed. Is my phone now bricked? I can boot and acess the sdcard but are the old recoverys possible to use with ICS.
So a possible solutions would be to move this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970842 app to the sdcard and install it but would that work???
Please answer!

Yes I installed it on stock kernel and alpha 9 was supposed to fix the problem but it didn't so i applied the fix you linked me to but it still doesn't work. Not CWM nor xRecovery.

[Q] Problems rooting Samsung Galaxy mini GT-5700I (Phone not detected in Odin)

*NOTICE* Samsung Galaxy GT-5570i mistake in title :S
Hi
Okay so the problem is my Samsung galaxy mini doesnt get detected by Odin v.4.85 but it gets detected in v.1.85. I've tried restarting the phone many times. All settings are set in the "Application" and USB debugg. All usb drivers are installed 100% with Samsung Kies.
Also tried reinstaling the drivers and other versions it still didnt work. Its 100% not the USB cable cuz it works perfectly fine when out of download mode and Kies recognizes the device.
I've tried rooting it with SuperOneClick also , that one gets stuck on one line...I've also tried through recovery mode but it didnt work either i got error, and interrupted.
Also a question : Is it possible to get clockworkmod and root without using Odin?
In any case theese info are needed:Android version is 2.3.6(i did not install this one it came with the phone) , Baseband version 25570IXXKL4, Kernel Version 2.6.35.7([email protected] #1), Build Number GINGERBREAD.IXXKL4
Looking forward to your answers

Go in CWM and install zip from sd-card.

Make sure the zip is downloaded properly.
Also choose install from SD card option not, apply update from SD.
i had the same problem while rooting it was due to version of android ex: 2.2FROYO , 2.3GINGERBREAD
i had 2.2 froyo stock and was trying the method of rooting 2.3GB .. now take a look at video and let know if it helps im sure it'll help.

@ristex1
I not have understand if you have rooted or not? if not, before of flash from recovery you must rename the package zip for rooting in update.zip or upd_1.zip (this should be right for your firmware) and then go in recovery and do apply update from sdcard and should works, if not if you not rename the package not works.

Yes i rooted the phone. Thank to that universal root zip.
But now in order to install Custom ROM's i need clockworkmod. I've been searching for days bricked my phone twice and still couldnt find any working cwm FOR SAMSUNG GT S5570I becouse this one and the GT s 5570 use diferent system...Thats what i learnt so far:S

About restoring a bakcup on the unofficial CM9

I made a bakcup with ROM manager but when I try to flash it, it says it doesn't have the neccesary permissions to do it. The rom is not root enabled by default, so I guess there's that.
I can't flash it through CWM because it just says "files not found". Any help?.
Our CM9 rom isn't rooted ? I'm sure it is, just check it...
How did you try to flash it ? Via backup or via flash zip ?

Both.
Which version of CWM Recovery do you run ?
I've experienced issues on Tantrums Touch Mod...
5.0.2.6
without root
As was mentioned before, you can't do a backup without Root Permissions.

No, HotFix1 should repair SU but it doesn't.
Well then, I guess I have to wait for the new fix. Thanks for the anwers!.
Just reboot in recovery and do the back up restoration from there.

I can't. You do know that CWM stands for "ClockworkMod" right? (which is the recovery mode).
EDIT: I managed to restore the backup with a different superuser fix. Look for it on the CM9 thread.
I do know what CWM stands for and that's why i did that suggestion. Even though the first build didn't have fully working SU it still had the option to reboot in recovery. When you choose reboot there was reboot and recovery option.
I just happened to do the very suggested thing myself .

flash the .zip that is page of that thread (linked below) and your SU sholud be working, another option is to upgarde to nightly #2 (previos full wipes in CWM) wich comes with SU working

have u tried to use SEUS?
we fixed it.
I dont have this phone, so I didnt know you needed to have custom kernel and unlocked baseband.
How can I get the:
1. Latest baseband
2. Unlocked bootloader
to unlock the bootloader you have to check This
for latest baseband update the phone with Update Service

Where can I find this kernels
nAa AND ALFS KERNEL ?
or do they come with the ROM and automatically flash?
you can find in one of the Development Thread, you have to flash it first with flashtool then you can flash the ROM via CWM..
U means u didn't install X recovery.... If u install cwm its possible u having this problem... Cwm only work on stock rom.... Use flash tool and repair.. Install X recovery....i installed it too.. I got the same before, though it was on that Site.. This will work on stock rom

thanks! but is it possible if i can just flash a kernel for tw (tw is touch wiz rite?) so that i can boot the phone n place the zips in the phone memory?
if so, which one of the tw kernel should i be using? i will need to flash them using pc odin using the pda tab rite?
thanks man
Try aroma file manager, you can access file manager from rcovery and try moving file to desired location.
OR flash hydrakernel, which is universal, which can boot your device.

You need root permissions to mount /data partition...
1. Reboot into <Stock recovery 3e>
2. Root your device
3. Flash CWM 5.0.2.6 Fixed

Always after flashing a STOCK rom via Odin boot into recovery and do wipw data factory reset and wipe cache partition too in order to avoid the bootloop
Don't remove the launcher you need at least one to use your phone
Your data mount problem could be solved if you flash an Android 2.3.6 Firmware
(Try with ddq8 or ktm)
