[Q] GingerXperiaV8 installation

Good evening!
Sorry if I missed something, but can somebody please tell me directly HOW TO FLASH GingerXperiaV8??? With Xrecovery or with CWM?
I have a bootloop at SE logo. Can't access xRecovery or CWM. Had to use PCC again.
Thanks in advance...

Done with CWM No problem. Do a Full wipe.

how can i install CWM recovery on my xperia ?
didint find it =(

I flashed ROM with CWM this time, before and after I did a full wipe. Still no result. Stuck at SE logo.
Any suggestions?

This subject is now being discussed in XPERIA X8 Android Development under GingerXperia V8 thread!!!

Strange.. worked 4 me in both Xrecovery and CWM.
Can u goto xrocovery??

I install gingerxperia v8 with xRecovery. No problem.

Me is how I did.
I installed kernel LinuxDX v4. Then I installed GingerDX v17 with CMW. Then I installed stock kernel and I booted with xRecovery and I format system, DATA and CACHE. And I installed GingerXperia. Good luck.

After flashing Gingerdx V22 stuck on SE screen upon Reboot

I installed it again, then i rebooted it and now i'm stuck on the sony ericcson white screen. what did i do wrong?
before that i proceeded to install xrecovery and busybox.
any luck or hints?

Restore/Repair with SE Companion, I experience that too, after few reboots with GX V22, that rom will eat your battery.

Tell us the exact steps you perform and how? If you assume you're doing something wrong then you should at least tell us what you do so we can tell if there's something wrong.

I instaled busy box, srecovery, successfully install and used gingerdx. I change my user settings, dl/set up the apps, I even updated to the baseband 15. On the first restart, it will then freeze at SE logo screen

I take you typoed and meant "xRecovery" ...
Well, right there's your problem, mate.
GINGER DX V014 AND LATER NEED TO BE FLASHED THROUGH CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY!
If you flashed GDX v022 through xRecovery it's no real wonder it doesn't work.
EDIT: To quote doixanh's post ...
Requirements
- Rooted
- ClockworkMod Recovery (v014+)
- Latest kernel and latest baseband xxx015
- Desire to delete Stock SE's Eclair

Did you "Full Wipe (Factory Reset)" after flashing the ROM?
If not ... keep tapping on the screen when the white Sony Ericsson logo shows up to get into CWM and full wipe.
Works now?

Thanks for your reply,
I've done full wipe but its not working.

Ok, then let's dive deeper into the matter ...
- You run a custom kernel?
If yes, which one?
- How did you flash the ROM? ClockworkMod recovery or xRecovery?
If you flashed with xRecovery you did wrong. Re-flash the ROM with CWM.
- In case you are on Stock Kernel, did you flash the Stock Kernel add-on?

If you are not using custom kernel and not on stock kernel, so what kernel are you on, my friend?

Since I am still missing a "Works now" post here (apart from a "Thanks") ...
You now see the bold red text that outlines the problem why your ROM does NOT boot?
Oh, and since you ARE on Stock Kernel (2.1.1.A.0.6) do NOT forget the also flash the Stock Kernel Add-On in CWM - or you will have just the next torrent of problems after you.

[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)

Hello, im helping a friend root he's phone.
He is stuck at the "Sony Ericson screen"
This is what we have done so far:

- Custom recovery (CWM)
He then went into CWM and clicked:
- backup nandroid
- delete dalvik cache
- reset factory
- install zip from sdcard: Presto ... install it...... . .. . .
- Restart phone.
it gave me an error "bad restore can't restart" then It automaticly jumped to another submenu "no" "-yes -- restore CWN" underneath a warning: may not able to access the restore" I clicked yes and it restarted but never got further then booting

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

Thank you.
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
