Brain blown by cwm , mod , linux ,flash , bootloader WTH??

i used gingerdx yesterday but it was very lag...so i heard i need to use cwm to properly install gingerdx (cause mine is v20+) so i search for rom manager (i thinks it's same as CWM ) apk's files ...i downloaded is and tried to search for my device but failed to , so i googled it and it says i need
''-1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash Custom Kernel (sin file included inside the zip file, or ready made file here )
3. Install ROM using CWM provided with the kernel (after flash, switch on and keep puhsing back button until phone enter CWM Recovery mode. You cannot use xRecovery anymore... ''
i don't understand anything about what he said ...i googled the bootloader guide (from xda ) but it's so complex i dun even understand ...but then it says i need to do something called flash got this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashrom ... don't undestand!! okay okay no more complaining to sum it all up
1.how to use cwm on xperia x8? i cant find my model on the chart
2. is there a more simple way to bootload my phone?
3.what does bootload do?
4.what and how to flashrom your x8?
5.what is linuxDX for? i heard it speeds up your phone ...
6.how does cwm works? is it similar to xrecovery?
i tried to install gingerdx2.0 with xrecovery but it destroyed many of my apps and it's not smooth at all ... sorry for making so many threads...i really am curious of my phone and wanting to know all these rom , root stuffs ...

I tot I already tell solution for your problem b4..
U simply install gingerCruz or whatever rom (which one can install via Xrecovery)
(I sure this rom have dual recovery(CWM & Xrecovery) pre install)
now when u sucess installing GC,
u can boot into CWM by pressing volume down button and/or tap screen
and now the time u can install gingerDX.zip
and make sure fullwipe after and b4 installing GDX.zip
let forget about LinuxDX or whatever kernel first...
(because u failed to fix simple matter (installing GDX))
so if u wanna flashing kernel, it most dificult than installing rom
so my advice is please pass this matter first
REMEMBER...flasing kernel U have to unlock bootloader
(your phone can brick if U done any wrong)

ohoh i think i get you there ...u use a rom that can be installed via xrecovery and the rom naturally has CMW preinstalled yes ? and when i done installing( do i need to full wipe for this? ) the rom that can be installed via xrecovery press the close button long then the CWM will come up ( i tried b4 via cruzt ) then i enter CWM i use it like xrecovery , from there i install GDX and before installing GDX i have to full wipe my phone ...am i right??will full wipe clear my app? and what's GC?
is rom = mod?
and yeah i think imma skip kernel 1st too risky!
THANKS KLIP!

used your mothed and succesful installing it with cmw ...but still unstable like heck! i used it for the first 30mins it;s okay but lagging here and there and the market is still unreliable...i finally go to cmw and installed cruzt ...(installing now ) hopefully it's better ...is it advisable to change the launcher? i think i comes with go launcher (pro?) but i change it to go launcher ex my fav launcher ...is it what that is causing me problems?

is it normal for the phone to get crazy lag for the 1st day of installing your mod? the dx mod crashed ( crashed seriously ) and i got the option to force close ...i gave me a facepalm and i just rebooted and tried cruzt ...and cruzt is lagging now ...

rarely happens to me.
u can try:
-full wipe
-wipe cache
-wipe dalvik cache
before and after changing ROMs
i always do that and no problems till now..

will wiping dalvik and cache clear all your link2sd app?

Thanks for quick answer but i face a weird problem while installing SUTLR 1.8, it gives errors for some of its files that they failed to register. I am using windows 7 machine 32 bit.

The screen just shows android logo for 2-3 minutes then again the logo comes up..stuck here.. :crying:
And do i need to install RC1 and RC2 before flashing this? Thanks.

Did you wipe data?

I updated it by putting my phone in download mode then using SUT to flash it selecting the option "Erase user Data" in the drop down.
I didn't go into CWM as SUT erases all data itself..

I also flashed RC1 rom and it flashed fine..maybe because it uses the 2.6.32 kernel....i dunno what i have to do to flash it with RC3 :crying:

You don't need to boot into rc3. Even if you are stuck at bootloop just put any ics rom in sdcard and flash it via recovery wiping data/cache/dalvik cache. If you are still stuck at bootloop then i suggest that you find a windows xp machine carry out flashing after installing drivers no need to select anything in sut.

It clearly says:
Please Flashing with SUT latest, version 1.8.2 or above.
... but you are using 1.7..

Though I suggest you do boot into what you recently flashed:
1. To make sure you flash worked (as you have done)
2. To so you can backtrack what or if your ICS complimentary flash does not work. Just remember to clear Data, Dalvik and Cache before 2: nd flash.

[Q] Random Reboots since 4.2 ! Help please

I have random reboots since i updated to 4.2 tried many roms and dont know why this happens
Mostly i use stock cyanogen kernel with 100 to 1200 and ondemand and maybe if theres performance control 50 Mb to keep with task killer
but mostly when hearing music and also turning of screen music sometimes stops or i got a random reboot
and also when doing nothing i become a random reboot once a day.
Somebody knows what to do ?

Have you tried reflashong your rom?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

I tried many things like wiping cache, dalvik permissions fix, other roms and also mostly wipe system/data (factory reset) before flashing a rom and so on
Also tried semaphore mostly or cyancore but nothing helps much

Flash cm10.1 after full wipe and keep it in stock setting and see if soft reboot happen then logcat to cm thread
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

I dont want to go back to cm10.1 as i think it will also happen there too. Maybe some other solution would be good.
For info at moment im on carbon rom build 3 from Aways and this happened on 3 or 4 other roms from aways before too

Try another rom.

i said "and this happened on 3 or 4 other roms from aways before too"
So dont say try another rom or should i try all roms ?

Random reboots happen only when you have bad oc, bad flash( wipes not done right ) , or bad rom no other reason i can think of. Something went wrong flashing if its happening since you updated to 4.2.

Juz put da stock ROM (usually.tar if using ODIN) on PDA
put Modem (also .tar) on PHONE
and put CSC file (.tar) on CSC
put .pit on PIT \
tick repartition, reset time and Auto reboot.
Put in ur phone into download mode (home+vol down+power)
connect it to pc while Odin still up and wait for Message bar says Added
repartition only for ROM, if u flash kernel (CF root for example) through ODIN, make sure its untick
and juz start da game
(see screenshot)
and really, this thing should juz stop. u guys dont ever bother to explore da thread here
and somehow after flashing ROM and kernel, if u wanna flash cm9 through CWM, ur phone will reboot and reboot and reboot and reboot without fails, juz dont panic and press da button for recovery (home+vol up+power) and it will go to recovery. if somehow u fails to retrieve recovery, it because either u s*ck at selecting time to release da button. (release da button right after u see da white i9000 logo. After that, juz reflash da cm7 zip again.
And for those who wanna straight to CM10.1, after success to flash cm9, do not reboot to ROM, continue to flash CM10.1 zip (make sure u got both zip inside ur internal storage, not in any folder) and it will still give warning it unsuccess or failed, juz flash it again. Until u satisfy that ur chosen ROM already flash inside ur fone. then u reboot ur system.
I juz give u some summary, u need to find da file urself. Its all somewhere inside here.
(and here i spend 3 year reading everything posted here )

[Q] from rooted version 2.2 to rooted version 4.0 or more?

Hi,
I was redirected to this part of the forum. A friend of mine rooted my samsung mobile Galaxy S I9000 with a android 2.2 version. I cannot contact him anymore to help me with the update and I am really a newbie in this rooting world. So, I am coming on this forum to have some advice. I read information on rooting your device, in which everything is explained very well, but could not find information on how to update once a device was rooted (probably I did not search in the right place). What I did so far is:
1) Taking backup of my pics (by manually drag and drop the folder on my pc), SMS and call logs (with sms backup + app), syncronized my contacts with gmail so that I can recover them later on and backup the music folder. I installed backup Titanium to back up my apps on my SD card.
But now, I am stuck with some questions (could you guide me where to find the information?):
1) Which most recent version of Android is supported on the device I have? Which version will work best?
2) Is there important information that I forgot to back up? + I have a problem with the backup Titanium app. It could reach my root in the beginning, but then the Superuser app updated the binary and from then on my titanium app got stuck when getting access to the root. Any idea how to solve this? Install an older version of the bin.file? How to do that exactly? thanks! => I could fix this problem by installing an older version of superuser in CW recovery. If others have problems with this issue, I can provide help from now on
3) Is there a guide with step by step procedure on which files I have to download on my pc and which procedure to follow? Or could you advice me some useful links?
thanks!

1) there is android 4.2.2 available for this amazing device
2) you propably forgot to backup efs folder
3)
- 1) follow this guide to get android 2.3.6 to your device: http://www.darkyrom.com/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
- 2) follow this guide to get android 4.2.2 (cm 10.1) to your device after: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
- 3) now you can flash most of the roms you find in i9000 android development forum. i personally use slimrom

copy /efs! backup ur imei n md5 in efs first! copy da whole efs file! or do nandroid backup.
READ N FOLLOW CAREFULLY here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149455
considering u already done flashing Sammy n CF
prepare for ROM & kernel(optional) hunt! go to dev section and choose which JB u wanted.download it together with cm9.1.0 n copy to root of internal sd.
n make sure to flash cm9.1.0 stable from cyanogenmod website (galaxymtd) first from 2.3.6, first flash will bootloop, go back to recovery with 3 combo button. flash again n dont leave recovery.
after done flashing twice (if flash ended too quick, then flash again). direct flash 4.1/4.2 chosen rom, twice (first flash will come up with error, juz ignore it flash again (bootloop) recovery again n flash again

I followed the guide you mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2149455
in which they install that JVU ROM... then they say at the end that you have to unmount SD card (but that option was gray in my case) and wipe the USB storage and then reboot in recovery and do those 4 wipes, what I did, and then he mentioned that you could install your custom ROM, so I put the version of slimrom 4.2.2 on my sd card and launched it for installation.
However, the procedure started, but after a few seconds already my phone rebooted and now it is stuck at the logo of Semaphore...
What did I wrong? And what should I do?

Should I shut down my phone and try to put it in download mode again to put the JVU rom on it again via odin? is that the best strategy? Or should I do something else? and if that would work, what is then the best procedure to avoid such situations again?

nope, u did rite, but also wrong, ok, read carefully here....
flashing for upgrade is easy if u follow carefully, when in GB, after flashing CF ROOT, flashing to 4.0 (cm9) first (take da zip from cyanogenmod website) but luckily ur on 2.3.6 JVU (if u follow da link i gave), so it will be safe (safe procedure will be GB-ICS-JB), first flash will bootloop, second flash (sometimes) will occur error n third flash will succeed, which means u hav to flash twice or thrice or maybe 4 times! if its bootloop, go to recovery back by 3 button combo (its da matter of when u release da combo button, release it rite after u see da first white bootsplash)
bootloop cause by changing da partition tp ext4, its common
but if u already try to reach recovery n failed most times, u need to flash back firmware n cf root.

Ok, thanks!!!! this worked!!! I justed flashed cm9 and it works. So, if I understand well now, I can just return in recovery mode and install from zip from sd card to cm10 and then for instance to slimrom? Or between 'two' flashes, I need to follow the last part of the procedure in the link you gave me? So:
"Now, what I do now is go into :
Settings > SD Card and Storage > Unmount SD and Wipe that and then at the bottom Wipe Format USB Storage
Enable USB Debugging > Plug in Phone
Window should open up showing your phone Directory..
Copy over your ROM that you want
Shut Down Phone
Reboot into Recovery (Vol UP - Menu - Power)
Wipe the 4 things (probably know these... you should do)
Data / Factory Reset
Cache Partition
Go to Advanced > OK
Dalvik Cache
Battery Stats
Go Back > OK
To move Up or Down > Use the Left Side Volume Rocker Switches with Menu to OK Action
Install your Custom ROM from Zip Card that you want..."
OR: can I just go to recovery mode and do install from zip without doing that procedure with "wipe" etc?
Just to know, as I am just a newbie in these things!!! But I want to thank you once again for the clear explanations and the good help!!!!

juz flash mate , its easy, da important thing is to follow da sequence, thats all, juz flash, wiping cache or resetting juz for changing ROM. not upgrading
juz FLASH it
GB-ICS (twice)(do not leave recovery after second flash)-(any custom JB ROM u choose(twice or thrice))(make sure u already put da zip file in internalsd). dont need any wiping.
but FLASH AT UR OWN RISK,remember that.

juz flash mate , its easy, da important thing is to follow da sequence, thats all, juz flash, wiping cache or resetting juz for changing ROM. not upgrading
juz FLASH it
GB-ICS (twice)(do not leave recovery after second flash)-(any custom JB ROM u choose(twice or thrice))(make sure u already put da zip file in internalsd). dont need any wiping.
but FLASH AT UR OWN RISK,remember that.

Thanks!!!! Just one small question. I just flashed CM10 in recovery mode and first flash gave error, second went well. Then while still being in recovery mode I directly flashed slimrom and that went well from the first time. Do you always flash a second time to make sure that things went well or this is ok then?

as i already said, flash more than 2 times when upgrading, juz upgrading process. GB-ICS-JB (CM7-CM9-CM10/10.1) is upgrading process.
changing ROM not necessarily need double flashing, but u can do it if ur not satisfy whether da ROM already flashed or not

ok, thanks!!! no, everything is working fine with this slimrom, except for google play that does not seem to open once I install it. It opens and closes directly... but I guess there are persons that had the same problem. will have to check the forum for a solution

Hmmm, is probably because I get this error when starting slimrom: invalid IMEI number...I flashed it a second time, but it gave me the same error...

Which gapps have you flashed? Slimbean needs a special package, you find it under slimroms.net.

I will have a look there for that google play problem.
More problematic is that problem of IMEI. When I flashed from CM 9 to CM10 I did not do that wipe of cache and data as suggested above (the reply came later on), and then I flashed slimrom. That I forgot to wipe between CM9 and CM10, can that be the cause of wrong IMEI now? Is the solution now, to wipe cache and data, to flash again CM 10 and to flash then slimrom again?
Or should I just leave everything like that and do a recovery of my efs folder? If yes, any link for this?

Yes, you can restore you'r apps with titanium backup, but only user apps, don't restore system apps, because you can get bootlop

don't worry about arabic support , JB and ICS support arabic , and the font is amazing
CM9 is ICS
CM 10.x is JB
flash a 2.3.6 firmware then flash CM9 to avoid loosing IMEI , then install any costum rom you want , try SLIMBEAN or GamerzRom

JUV is a 2.3.6 firmware , don't worry , install any 2.3.6 firmware from the thread that i posted
the kernel for 2.3.6 is stock ( from samsung )
slim bean and gamerzrom are JB roms
you have to install CM 9 ( ics ) first then install JB rom , to avoid loosing IMEI

if you want to install JB after iCs you don't have to install Gapps for cm9
just let it boot , after that , turn off your phone and go to recovery and flash any JB rom
here is the link for slim bean thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060374
you'll find download link
Slim-galaxysmtd-4.2.2.build.7-OFFICIAL
Slim_Gapps.4.2.2.build.7.x
PS : i've just suggested slimbean , i don't say it's the best , you should give a try for each rom to choose the best for you

Gapps come in a .zip file so just boot into recovery after you flash custom rom then flash Gapps
EDIT: Gapps may be included in custom rom so flash custom rom first and check if you have Gapps, if no Gapps then flash Gapps.
