[Q] GingerDX

Hey Guys
Am kind of lost At the Gdx instruction thingies
Okay i know how 2 install it
..
So
i have the 2.1 ..
With all the required Stuff
the baseband number...etc
So is it now like always?
P.S: My bootloader is unlocked ..
So again is it like always
install ZIP From either Xrec.. Or CWM??
And about the recommendation 2 install The Linux
is it Safe???????
Completely Safe i mean???
And what are the benefits of Linux + GDX ?
..
your answers are gonna be the reason 2 either install the Rom Or not :/
So please HELP?

I did like this :
1.FULL wipe
2.flash gingerdx v017
3.flash linuxdx
And everything is good Is it safe? If you did everything all right its safe now with latest gdx with latest linuxdx i have=NO LAG AT ALL, EVEN WITH MANY APPS INSTALLED AND LOW RAM! ! i really easily recommend it to you

If you read carefully GingerDX v014+ requires CWM for install it, for v013- versions you can install with xRecovery.
And GingerDX is safe, little bugs in some versions but with solution in almost all.
In my opinion the battery drain is the most important issue, with the Governor in ONDEMAND my battery drains just in the night 20%, that's a lot. Now, with Smartass, the battery drains just 3% over night.
I don't know about the performance with LinuxDX Kernel. I can't help you with that.
I'm sure that in the respective post you can get more information.

Totally wrong order. You should:
1. copy rom to SD
2. flash kernel from PC
3. install rom from X8 recovery
4. full wipe
0 - make backup

Guys for the love of God don't Get me confused ..

Just flash the kernel,ater that do afull wipe, and then flash the ROM in CWM-Recovery.
And if it´s not stable, flash stock ROm with stock kernel again and flash ONLY GingerDX without the Kernel.

Dude
while flashing the Linux
it stopped ..
And told me 2 tick the God damn USB debugging !!
DAMN I FORGOT 2 TICK IT BEFORE !!
And the phone now won't Go ON..
At ALL !!
it just shakes ..
Then nothin
Am trying 2 Fix it with Sony ericsson update service
But the installation is STUCK!
completely it won't Work..
..
Damn????

you should flash by flashtools .

Or the battery is low.. it happened to me once when flashing my gf's x8. It took a while for me to realise it. Lol. Just a suggestion, based from my experienced.

KERNEL - this you flashing using FlashToll from PC
ROM - zip file that you installing from CWM or xRecovery
Proper order (I assume that bootloader is unlocked already):
1. Make backup of apps using TitaniumBackup then xRecovery or CWM
2. copy new ROM to SD
3. turn on USB debugging
4. disconnect USB cable
5. shut down phone
6. run FlashTool and press "flash"
7. press and hold "back" button in phone and plug in USB
8. wait for flash is done ("flash complete ... disconnect ...")
9. disconnect USB
10. turn on phone and start tapping screen to enter CWM
11. using CWM menu install custom zip
12. do full wipe
13. reboot
14. wait.... it can take up to 5 mins
15. install Titanium and restore apps
If it will not run you just flash back stock kernel, then seus for stock rom, root it, install xrecovery or cwm and restore backup.

well i read the forums but i didnt discover the same problem as me ...so again is the stock x8 rom not supposed to work after i flash the kenrel or am i doing something wrong?(ican get to cwm).MOreover,do i have to load the custom rom file first,then flash the kernel,then flash the loaded rom?

dude, flash nAa v10. after you flash it, the kernel logo will appear followed by the battery sign.
press power button, the phone will boot and the kernel logo will appear.
you will be sent do CWM Menu.
if you have a compatible ROM for nAa kernel, do a full wipe and reboot and see if the ROM boots successfully.
if you dont have a compatible ROM, do a full wipe, install CM 2.1.8 and then reboot.

U have to unlock bootloader first before flashing kernel,
this is the step (with stock kernel and rom installed and root) :
- unlock bootloader
- flash kernel
- enter cwm
- wipe data
- install custom rom
- wipe data again
- restart system
and ur good to go

You cant load stock rom with a custom kernel. Just flash GingerDx Rom and you should be fine. Flash the kernel first using the flash tool, then flash the rom using CWM and then turn on the phone

Here is a newbie guide to unlock the bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436924&page=2
After you unlocked BL you can flash the kernel with flashtool (with the latest one)
-Don't forget to copy you're rom to SDcard!
When the nAa logo appears hit the back button and you're in cmw menu.
full wipe->instal custom rom-> reboot your phone !

first flash your kernel and then install custom rom...

[Q] Stucks after flashing or installing ROM.

I flashed the latest official firmware...
Than after all my attempts i can't install any ROM, except official 2.1.
Please, write me instructions how to install CM7 - i need help...
I have rooted 2.1 with xRecovery - what's next?

Go to xrecrovery choose instal custom zip from sd card hoose zip from sd card find your mini cm 7 install rom and factory reset/full wipe.

It depends on ROM. Some of CM7 works only on custom kernels, so You should first check if You will be able to unlock bootloader. Look behind Your battery - on the stick there should be something like xxWyy which will tell You the year and the week of Your board. If it's older than 11W26 (26th week of 2011) - U may unlock bootloader and install custom kernel (on Your own risk ;P). If not - You shouldn't do this and search for ROMs working on SE stock kernel

Also, some ROM required CWM instead of Xrecovery, so read carefully before attempting anything.

Hmmmm
I unlocked bootloader long time ago(10WW48 on the sticker).
to przemek4113: Just installing from xrecovery gives me a unbooting phone.
I tried Froyo, but it doesn't boot too.
Then i'm flashing(Xrecovery doesn't give me a booting phone even if i recover all system) official 2.1.
This phone was bought with GinderDX on it. But latest versions need new kernels(flashing kernel bricks phone).
May be try Previous versions of GingerDX?
Really, i tried about seven customs...
P.S. I'm installing xrecovery ROM's from Xrecovery and CWM ROM's from CWM...

Mind to elaborate where you read that "latest versions need new kernels"?
GingerDX runs on STOCK KERNEL, LinuxDX as well as Alfs. I fail to find the part in doixanh's post where it says something about forcing a certain kernel to be used.

Make sure you have an older x8 than 11w29, its under the battery. When the number is 11w29 or newer, you'll not get CM. Unlock your bootloader.
Download and flash FXP kernel. Install official CM with the kernel built-in CWM. I recommend to flash nAa kernel after install the CM, it's much better.

If you want CM7 you should go to this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362585

That's my fault - i was speaking about another ROM. Not GingerDX - but it doesn't boot too.
I followed advise about miniCM7.
Flashed kernel ->then wiped all(i disliked the message about ext4 - there's no this partition - probably that's the problem???) ->installed ROM. Nothing.
"nAa kernel" logo appears and then it reboots.
UPD:
I've installed GingerXperia(v19) via CWM.
Then -
I've flashed all kernel,fota and smth else(not all files from 2.1.1).
Then it booted...strange)
But i'll try to work with other kernels...

Flash Tool - I've seen links on it thousand times on 4pda.ru, but not here - i suppose it to be in the branch about X10.
http://www.mediafire.com/?z7fmpiragbbdxdu - here is flasher.
http://depositfiles.com/files/c2gllgt6t - or here, with official firmware

It would be great if somebody could provide the step by step procedure of flashing my w8 to get past the se logo....

1)Download all archives above
2)Run flasher
3)Press "Flash" and choose necessary firmware
4)follow advices of software
5)reboot -> You have official 2.1
then
1)check your bootloader(http://4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/1227710/S1tool.7z) with this tool
2)unlock it if it is able for you
3)take root(superoneclick with debugging)
4)make xrecovery
5)install any xrecovery zip
or
alt 5)make CWM
alt 6)install any CWM zip
or
install kernel
then install zip
Firstly try it from xrecovery. If you have some problems - write PM to me)

I have done it and successfully flashed as per flashtool...but now even i cant boot stuck at "sony ericsson" now the animated logo works and reboots automatically...pls help

Have you done "user-wipe" in Flash Tool???
Here is from friendly branchcontains a collection of GingerDX 013-022 and some other goodies in the "Sony Ericsson" folder - i.e. Basebands, PCC, SEUS, Flashtool)

What was wrong ? Mini CM9 on Xperia X8

Hi everybody,
I tried yesterday to flash my phone with the new mini CM9 + nAa 04 kernel... It did not work resulting in a soft brick.
I solved this problem by flashing back to the stock rom + kernel using flashtool. My device is now working as before.
After many unfruitful research on the forum, i'm forced to ask you what wrong did I do...
My phone was (and is) configured as follow :
Kernel : stock 2.6.2.9
Rom : Android 2.1
Base Band Version : M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Built : 2.1.1.C.0.0
Rooted
Bootloader : unlocked
Today I installed xRecovery (which is not needed if I use the Kernel E15_nAa-ics-04_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-04).
Is it problematic if I want to use the mini CM9 rom ?
How did I do :
I started by flashing the kernel using flashtool and with the latest version kernel E15_nAa-ics-04_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-04.
The manipulation was successful and kernel was working well.
Then, after having backed up all my settings, apps, contacts, rom and wiped off the data factory settings, I started to flash the rom with CWM (the rom had been stored before on my SD card).
Once the installation finished, the phone reboot... and reboot .... and reboot, etc...
It was only able to display the nAa kernel screen (boot loop), but nothing more.
Finally, I flashed it back to stock version to use it again... OUff
I was a bit scared by the idea of having a hard brick but finally it was just a soft brick.
What do you think about my experience ? I know many of you think that people who do not have necessary skills to do it should not do it ^^ but I want to learn and to make my phone a bit more flexible and fast.
Thank you in advance !

Your hardware and software seems alright to me.
Steps: Don't bother about xRecovery. From stock 2.1...
Root again
Flash nAa-ics kernel
Install MiniCM9 and Gapps from first post of MiniCM9 thread
FULL WIPE -- YOU MUST DO THIS
WIPE DALVIK-CACHE TOO
Reboot and have fun

Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
So I don't understand what was wrong as I completely wiped the system prior to flash the Rom.
I proceeded exactly like that :
1.Wipe data factory
2.Wipe cache
3.Wipe dalvik-cache
4.Format system
5.Format cache
6.Format data
7.Rom installation
8.Flash Gapps
I think I have done all the necessary steps to make it working ...
I was maybe not enough patient after installation ?
I'm going to try again today (now I know how to recover from a soft brick ).
Thank you all again.

sounds like a kernel issue.
Code:
Locked bootloader
1. Root with Bin4ry's method(*)
2. install CWM for locked bootloaders.(*)
3. Go to recovery, wipe cache & dalvik-cache
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash kernel .140 (if you haven't already)
6. Reboot.
7. When CWM asks "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?", answer "No".
8. Enjoy
(*) skip these steps if you're already on a custom ROM with CWM recovery or unlocked bootlader.
Are you sure you did all these?

That should be fine.
Next try this.
Flash it again, but this time goto
mouts and storage and make sure you mount system first, then flash it...
EDIT:
Just a thought, after flashing the rom are you wiping system as well as dalvik and cache...if so then D'OH, don't wipe system, that deletes the rom you just installed

after flashing rom? i dont wipe anything , just before flashing

ok

You cant install custom kernels but you should be able to install stock based roms.
Are you trying to install a kernel? If so then dont.
Repair in pccompanion, root, install cmw recovery and flash rom.
It should work, if not try a different rom that is stock based

I'll be grateful if u can show me rom which can work on my XPERIA T , I'm not experienced enough to choose stock or not ,sorry for problems..
And if u can say, how i can get flashtool? I will try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026885
I have got EMMA but its not avaible for me...

Of coyrse you cant use emma. If you read the instructions its for unlocked bootloaders.
In order to get flashtool just look in the dev section for it.
To decide if a rom is stock based, read the op of the roms thread, it will say what it is based on there.
You should be able to flash my rom if you follow the instructions properly
