Everytime i flash my w8 e16i baseband to .15 it remains the same and when i open the pcc it recommends me to update to latest software but my software is already the latest pls HELP ME....
try to reflash baseband 015
Hi !
My cousin has asked me to help flash his W8 with 'New Software' to enable installing apps to the memory card ! I'm not an android user (I have Samsung Wave, bada os !) but I know a thing or two about flashing. I figured out that as the default os, android 2.1 doesn't support apps2sd (?), it needs an unofficial ROM (as Sony doesn't have an update coming) with a more recent android like Gingerbread or IcecreamSandwich.
And, I have some questions !
1. Which is best Gingerbread ROM interms of simplicity and reliability
Also, he says he need 'zoom' feature in the camera !
2. Here is the info about his W8
Code:
model e16i
firmware 2.1 update1
baseband m76xx-tsncjolym-53404015
kernal 2.6.29 SEMC
build number 2.1.1.A.0.53
Is there any need to update the baseband ?
3. After reading some tuts, this is the procedure I should follow ?
a. Flash latest firmware using SEUS (is it needed?) and enable debug mode for usb connection
BTW, after flashing latest firmware, do I need to flash the baseband ?
b. Root the phone
c. Install xRecovery or any other restore app as required by the ROM
d. Load the zip file containing the OS to the memory card and boot into xRecovery
e. Use the recover/update option to install the OS
f. Do factory reset
Did I miss something ?
4. Is there any way to install the Walkman player after flashing with the custom ROM ?
5. What about the drivers, I mean audio, display, camera etc ?
Is there any tangible improvements for modded drivers ?
Can you recommend a good set of drivers ?
just follow this guide -

Just from my opinion.
1.The Best GingerBread Rom, GingerDx/PrimeHD [for stock kernel/Costum Kernel] & MiniCm7 [ use Costum Kernel ] suggest use GingerDx.
Zoom Feature, Install Zoom FX Camera App from Google Play.
2.If the number 015 in last, I think No need to Flash baseband for update. but not very sure, you can use SEUS Software From computer for Update if you want to.
3.
a]If you already update with SEUS mean your baseband is already up to date.
b]Root you phone [yes] but only if you on Stock Kernel. [Bootloader still Unlocked]
c]Install xRecovery [yes]
d][No] You need make an Nandroid backup, And do fullWipe before install/flashing new ROM.
4.You can find W8 music Apk [Maybe]
5.OfCoz ALOT OF IMPROVEMENT! than The DAMN STOCK ROM
Sweetie no one can tell you what is the best ROM for your phone. We might have the same specs but we will have different experiences and results So the best way is to try and see it for yourself to start with try GDX.
bricked ?
Thanks guys for the replies
I had seen only the 'athulele's post and committed to it (followed the tutorial of 'JimDem' ) and now the phone is stuck at the "Sony Ericsson" logo, can't go to CWM or Freexperia recovery
This is what I've done !
1. Rooted using the X8toolbox
2. Installed Busybox 1.19
3. Installed Freexperia and CWM recovery
4. Created backup using Freexperia
5. Done Factory reset
6. 'Wiped'
7. Loaded "MiniCM7-2.2.0-shakira.zip" ROM zip file to the root of the memory card
8. 'Installed' it using CWM recovery
9. Tapped "yes" to a prompt asking like...full recovery or something (?)
AND now, its stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo
I'm on a slow internet connection so, flashing with Sony PC companion is my best bet ?
Is there any way to solve it without downloading any stuff ?

Mate, minicm7 rom use only with costum kernel (nAa 11 kernel). To install costum kernel you need to unlock the bootloader,(read warning unlock bootloader thread before something happen) Thats why you get stuck. I suggest you read the ultimate FAQ by lucastan96, or any sticky thread. Like I mention above. Better flash gingerDX rom which is working with stock and costum kernel.
And for repair download stock rom for x8 or use SEUS.
Sent from my thumb using my eyes
@techmachi
The date stamp is 11W38 => Its bootloader can't be unlocked according to that guy who started the Sticky thread
SO, I guess have to restore with SEUS, right ?
@Shimizux
Thanks man for the heads up !
I didn't look before I pulled the trigger on the MiniCM, my bad
I've downloaded SEUS and gonna repair it !!

Yw mate. And yes you can't unlock the bootloader.
Yap,Seus will flash a new fresh stock Rom. Aftar that, start all over again. Flash GingerDX is a good idea. Fullwipe before installing.

I have downloaded the GingerDX ROM but there is some problem with SEUS as it is downloading very slowly. So, I'm downloading the X8 factory firmware from a Russian site, narod.ru.
The X8 firmware should work with W8 or would've to download the W8 factory ROM ?
Wells hostena
I'm have suspicion that the factory X8 ROM I'm downloading is Russian ! So, is there any option to change the language anywhere ?
I'm asking because I've never used an Android phone that long, not that accustomed to its way it works !!
BTW, is it OK to flash it (GingerDX) with CM recover or should I flash it with xRecover ?
Thank You !!
Hi guys !
I've finally flashed the GingerDX ROM !
Thanks for your help !!
BTW, is there is anything to do to 'jazz it up' before I return the X8 to my cousin ?
Can you recommend me some cool themes and widgets ?
This is what i did on my GingerDx.
Theme i used : Ics theme by a-chep [Already include in Rom]
Bootanimation : Nexus one
Launcher : GoLauncher with Golauncher ICS Theme
ICS-settings : ICS Setting
You want Walkman Music Player Right : Here

How to install Walkman Player : Download zip file. Copy/paste to your SD card. go into Xrecovery choose Flash Zip file option, find walkman player zip file you download. and just flash it. Or you can extract the zip file [using Winrar or 7zip] Copy the .apk file from /system/app folder. Copy/Paste to sd card. and install. Or, If you want to install the .apk as system app. copy/paste .apk file into System/app folder [You Must Using RootExplorer Application]. and set App permission. Reboot your phone.

Before That Go to setting/application [tick unknown source]

unlock bl, flash latest nAa kernel and flash latest minicm7 rom... Simple as that.. I have x8 but as much as i have red roms work on w8 as well..
I recently updated my phone to 2.3.7, and now i want 4.04
But for that, 2.1.1.A.0.6/2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware is required.
And after upgrating to 2.3.7, firmware is changed, and i've lost my previous backup, so i cant restore it.
Now how to i get my previous firmware ?
Please help
you don't need to change the firmware or move to stock version, you can upgrade to ICS if you have unlocked bootloader
Use Sony PC Companion or Sony Update Service.
If you have never update your phone to 2.1.1.A.0.6 or 2.1.1.C.0.0 it's required to do that before flashing cm9.

Straight Answer
Simply get flashtool. Then the stock 2.1 firmware. Open flashtool. Then drag the firmware from desktop onto flashtool in the white space. A menu will pop up. Click ok. It will ask you to plug you x8 in flashmode. (instructions for this will pop up. When you do this the instructions will dissapear. Then it will flash the stock sony 2.1 and then reboot.
flashtool: Here
firmware: Here
Please click 'thank' if you appreciate my effort. Sorry if this wasn't what you were looking for. For a simple fix just use pc companion as said before. But it takes longer.
I've got SE W8(E16i), with locked bootloader (not unlocked coz it date is 11W37). I rooted the device, installed busybox and xRecovery. Then I flashed the Rom GingerDX v029 using xRecovery and done a full wipe. Then after reboot my cell is stuck at Sony Ericsson Logo.
I have also tried flashing the rom using CWM and also a stock kernel over it but the result was same....
I dont want to get stucked with this Stock 2.1 update 1 firmware. It really sucks.

Dude check ur download again. There are more than 5 links on the thread, make sure u downloaded v29 for stock kernel and not the one for ccustom kernel. Always full wipe when installing new rom to.prevent bootloop too
Hit thanks if it helps now just repair it using Sony mmobile update service and try agn
U can try with other stock rom
E.g. Fde+4, kuyadroid 4.5.4, froyopro 2.5
Try thier working but before that make sure that u have arranged all for recovering soft brick. My mean flashtool and .tft file
