[Q] my w8 stuck on boot screen and does not start - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I tell my problem, i have w8 and i had setup clockwork mod, xrecovery, gingerbread xd rom and cyanogenmod 7. after i saw that cyanogen mod 7.1 released, and i tried to install it. First i put zip archive to my sd card, after i tried to load it from clockwork mod, but it gave me "error 7", after i searched a lot, and i found i need to change the updater-script in order to do install new cyanogen version. after i changed my clockwork mod version to the latest. then i did all, and i had setup all correctly. but after, my phone did nothing more than just showing splash screen. it does not show even clockwork mod screen nor gingerbread dx screen. so what do i need to do? i can't use my phone for 3 days. and i couldn't find any solution on the internet.

ok i did it. i am using sony sonyericsson pc companion software to go back original firmware now.

hey.. w8 has android 2.1 so if you are trying to install any rom of android 2.3 you first need to install android 2.2!!! so go step by step....
android 2.1 (stock rom)--->install any rom of android 2.2 ---->now try android 2.3!!!
hope u understand!!! cheers

You can run RAs recovery, it'll work just fine i use RA 1.2.2 just for the 96 size linux swap part but it'll work just fine.
any modded recovery will work. so you can continue using Amon RA. i am using that myself.
No disrespect to Cyanogen, but I perfer the Amon_RA recovery because there are more options available.

Did you follow the instructions properly? Did you flash the HTC image first then Cyanogen's rom? If it was your first time using it?
first i ran the DREAMING.nbh file, than install the recovery image, than install the updated radio, than install the latest spl and than the update ROM from Cyanogen website. i was reading through other post for the same error where the sreen is stuck on tmobile sign , it was instructed to run n droid back and than wipe and install the ROM from sd again which i did , and as soon as i click on home + power it took me to White box and arrow coming out and cell phone sign and it is stuck on this window for the past 20 min.
Any Clue
Below is the link i used for instruction,
http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-root-a-t-mobile-g1-and-mytouch-3g-android-phone/
All the steps i followed and have done it twice. Is there anything missing in these steps? can anyone help, I am trying to install Cyanogen update-cm-4.2.3-signed.zip and no luck .
You need to flash the HTC 1.6 recovery image first. Go to cyanogen's ROM's op and click the link to his wiki to give you detailed instructions

[Q] Can't get into Clockworkmod (i9000m)

Hi,
I really need some help as I began to get crazy about this.
I also have to mention it's my first time into Root/Mod/Custom/etc...
I Have a GT-I9000M (BELL) with Android 2.2 (version FROYO.UGJK4) Kernel 2.6.32.9
I successfully Rooted the phone with Superoneclic (Have Super User app in menu)
I Installed Rom Manager 3.0.0.0 Then authorized sudo when prompted to do it.
After that in the recovery menu of Rom Manager i've downloaded the Clockworkmod thing. (2.5.1.2)
I've tried to boot into clockworkmod but I got the standard Recovery Boot from Samsung instead. (tried to re-install rom manager to see if work but no)
I also tried to install it by using the update.zip version got here http://www.multiupload.com/5CUIK88JM0 and put it at the root of the internal sd.
Booted into the Samsung Recovery Boot and press apply Update.zip then i got
the following error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborded
(Tried Twice still nothing new)
The goal of all this is to install Darkys_v6.0_Gingerbread_Edition_Voodoo_signed seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
What do I do wrong???? Help me please i'm tired of the Android Froyo version from Samsung+Bell
To get ClockWorkMod compatibility, you need to use ROM Manager to start them.
This way, Voodoo recognize it's CWM recovery, intercept the call to the update.zip and install Ext4 wrappers.
If the new version is not yet available in ROM, be patient
I found the recovery app doesn't work very well. I suggest installing a kernel with CWM , that's compatible with Bell hardware? via Odin and you're good to go. From recovery menu you can do anything, including a full backup.

How to get from 3 to 2e? I'm on JPO 2.2. Thanks
It is not the first time i heard about 2e recovery and cwm
thing is: i'm new to all of this. Can someone explain me what those 2 things mean and do?
Do you mean that i have everything to do it right but there is something i do wrong or forgot?

You can find the thread called 'CFroot' at the android development section.
Download the correct version based on your current firmware and follow the instructions there. When you are done, your recovery would be 2e.

Sorry dude, the only solution would be to flash to an Eclair ROM (which by default has a 2e recovery) or flash Froyo which is supported by CFroot.
I have the same issue as well. Wanted to try Darky's v6.0 rom, however stucked in getting to CWM since I'm on 3e. I did look at CFRoot, but nothing stated for JK4.

This Might Work.... Although I Have A Different Phone (Cdma Hero), But Had A Similar Issue....
The Way I Was Able To Correct My Problem Was To Re-Install A Older Version Of "Rom Manager" (Let Me Know If You Have or Need A Older Version, I Keep'em All Now!! Lol!!
Also In "Rom Manager" I Would Try To Flash Alternate Recovery, And Then Clockwork Recovery Right After!! Make Sure It Says *Current Recovery* -And- *Latest Recovery* (Up At The Top) Then Try To Boot Into Recovery!!
PM Me If You Need More Help!!

Fresh Start
Ok well I got a good night of sleep so i'll resume where I am
I learned yesterday the following:
CMW: Clockworkmod
OCLF: One Clic Lag Fix
Now what I could try is to get back to Original Firmware of the GT-I9000M (Eclair) and from then what I've understood is that I don't need 2e recovery? Am I right?
From then I could install Darky without anything.
By going back this way will i'll stay root of will I have to root again?
If all this is right, how do i go back to eclair? can it be done via the 3e recovery menu or I have to flash? Is so I don't know anything about odin and the way it work so i'll need your help loll

here's what I did now:
Used Odin and Flashed my firmware to the previous one (2.1 Eclair.UGJH2)
Re-rooted
Re-installed Rom Manager
When in recovery mode i see 2e but it's the recovery from Samsung. Can't see the CWM......
Think i'm pretty close compared to yesterday from Darky 6.0 but STILL NEED CMW lolll
Fist timer Root and Flash never easy lolll
OK GUYS GOOD NEWS!!!!
Don't know what I did but CWM WORK NOW!!!!
What i've read somewhere is to never open the zip files (what i did). Got the idea of flushing them and download it again. This time it worked.
Gonna let you know when running Darky
----!!!!WORKING!!!!----
I Have Darky 6.0 Running on my Bell GT-I9000M!!!!!
First I want to thanx everyone of you who helped me out! You've been a great help.
Also I want to get the summary of my actions so Others could take advantage of this thread.
-Froyo version FROYO.UGJK4 (that is the official GT-I9000M update from BELL Mobility) was painfull to do anything so I downgraded to the eclair.UGJH2 (that is the Original Firmware from Bell)
First I've Rooted my phone using Superoneclic 1.5.5.0 that you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 (enable debuging mode on the phone in Settings-applications-developpement-debuging) then plug the phone and on superoneclic press ROOT...wait and follow indications
Then went to ODIN 1.7 that you can find here
http://www.general-search.com/fileinfo/20192867
You can find the BELL 2.1 firmware
here http://www.multiupload.com/ZNBT2RY5Y0 Password is samsung-firmwares.com
In odin i've used the 512.pit file (place it in the Pit section)
Then placed the 2.1 Firmware in the PDA section.
Took care Repartition, auto-reboot, F.Reset Time check box was check.
Booted in download mode (to get it right with odin i've booted in recovery first: Vol Up+Home+Power when bootscreen appear released it. After Pressed on Reboot now and immediatly pressed Vol DOWN+HOME+Power) I GOT THE BIG YELLOW LOGO OF ANDROID and in ODIN i got the Yellow icon appeared.
At this moment I've pressed START in odin and waited. The phone was acting like when updating through Kies.
When finished I was on ECLAIR
After, I've Re-Rooted the phone with superoneclic again.
Installed Rom Manager
Downloaded the CMW (CLockworkmod) that you can find here:
http://www.multiupload.com/5CUIK88JM0 (DON'T OPEN THIS ZIP BECAUSE IT WILL BREAK THE SIGNATURE NEEDED TO VALIDATE THE FILE)
I've placed the update.zip file (CMW) at the root of the internal SD Card of the phone and rebooted into recovery mode. I went on the apply update.zip (first time it was not working, then second time it worked)
At this moment I was on Android 2.1, Rooted, and CWM Recovery was working.
To Install the Darky's v6.0 Gingerbread Edition, I've downloaded it here:
http://www.multiupload.com/YPQVS4WO9C (ONCE AGAIN DON'T OPEN THE ZIP)
I've placed it at the root of the phone (same place than update.zip)
Opened Rom Manager, and selected Install a Rom from SD Card.
I've selected the zip File and applied it.
Phone went into recovery mode by itself then started installing Darky. (took like 5 minutes but it is said to be between 5-10 minutes so...)
HURRAY I'M ON DARKY CUSTOM ROM!!!!
PS: (at boot screen GT-I9000M will change to GT-I9000), Boot Screen Animation will also change for the Nexus One Boot animation.
Took me a day and half from Noob to This but hope other Bell user (or SGS user) will find their solution here.
Now let me alone I have to play with my new toy lolll
Just got back home. I will follow your footsteps. Do you have 850 mhz band ?
You with Bell ? Any problem making and receiving calls using Darky's rom ?
Followed your steps. Now I'm running Darky's v6.0 rom.
Even if it's a Bell phone, i'm using it on rogers.
I don't have any band problems(yes i have the 850 band). In fact, since i'm on Darky it look like if the wifi and phone antenna is far better. I got reception in places i wasn't before...and can even say GPS lock my position accuratly in less than 10 sec
Everything is.better since darky run on my phone

Hey, can you please clarify the ODIN steps? I have the exact same problem seen here.
I've completed up until where you put the phone in download mode. I set up ODIN as described, then connected my phone via USB, then enetered Download mode - but I only get a yellow icon on the phone, not in ODIN. Have I gone wrong somewhere?

[Q] HELP ! CM7 install

When installing cm7 1.0 rc on i9000, ive been trying for a week now to get this right. Tried to install cm7 from froyo stock, no luck. Tried installing GB 2.3.4 stock and tried again.
When installing in cmr it says install complete and then the phone reboots into cm7, now installation guides say the phone should boot into cmr and then you can install Gapps or whatever. This is not the case though.
Also i asked for advice in XDA regarding another issue and was advised to run a nightly version of cm7. This i dont understand.
Also when i try and restore to GB 2.3.4 stock in cmr, it says resore sucessfull/complete, then the phone reboots and gets no further than the Samsung Galaxy S startup screen, the phone then reboots into cmr and i get E: errors such as cant mount cache, or cant find cache/mount/log, then the phone has to be re-flashed back to stock GB 2.3.4.
1. there is no suck thing as rc10...
2.you can`t restore old gb rom...you need to flash through odin using repartition and then restore, because cm7 is mtd
Its cm7 1.0 rc sorry
can you please point me to a link that shows how to do this this is my first samsung phone and these thing are different to me thanks in advance
this is what he has been trying http://tips4tech.net/2011/04/how-to...cm7-on-galaxy-s-review-tutorial-and-download/
any help would be greatly appreciated

If you can not enter CWM Recovery mode, you can not install ICS. You need to install a kernel such as Semaphore (installed with ODIN in box PDA) and you can install it and ICS with no problem.
Oh I forgot, when you go to install ICS, you must remove the MicroSD, but may occur Bootloop.
and backup the the efs folder first!!!
Sounds like clockworkmod is not properly installed.
Revert to stock using odin. Then install CF-root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
This will root your stock rom and install clockworkmod.
OK I have a GT i9000 and I did manage to get into CWMode.
Now each time I try to install new custom ROM (I choose the zip from the SD card) 5secs after it starts installing it reboots and winds up in the blue CWM recovery screen. Tried different ROM's but - nada.
Any feedback?

You need to update the bootloader to a newer version. Install a 2.3 stock rom first and it should be fine.

Well I thought 'cause I'm on GB 2.3.3 it is OK.
Do I really need a new bootloader?
UPDATE: I managed to install the ROM. Dunno why, but on the second CWM screen I again choose to install the zip and it did the job.

[Q]Restoring Stock Rom

I really really need a help!
By the way im using Cherry Mobile Magnum HD
First of all, i downloaded last night Cyanogen Mod 7.2 Bumblebee rom. and it was succesfully installed together with the CWM v5. After some tests i found it buggy and i was so upset that even though i back up my contacts and other "needed files" it was deleted and gone.
So i really need to go back to stock rom!
So here's what i did first:
- I just bring back my stock recovery to it's place so CWM v5 is gone.
- After that i Downloaded the Firmware of Cherrymobile magnum HD version 2.3 Gingerbread.
And i dont know what to do next?
- Should I install the Firmware via recovery?
- And after i install the firmware? will my stock rom be back? and Cyanogen Mod will be uninstall?
PLEASE! IT'S MY FIRST TIME TO HACK MY ANDROID PHONE and i wanted to go back to it's original rom!. Please help me!
Thankyou so much in Advance!
Rename your downloaded firmware file to firmware.nb0 and place it in the root of your SD card and flash it with stock recovery, you will get back your stock rom and CM will completely go away
Thanks for replying but, the bootloader is looping and restarting
EDITED: OMG I JUST WIPE DATA AND INSTALL THE UPDATE AND IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG..... AT LAST. MY PHONE IS BACK TO NORMAL THANKS TO YOU!
