i've heard from someone that we can flash the kernel directly through our phone without using flashtool is that possible ???!!
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
yes, i think thats possible, I think it is quite complicated to do so since our x8 has lower level of configuration of hardware...
It is possible, Nobodyatall said in the future he will do that!

Well that's a great news let's see who's the first to bring it to our X8.
lots of people knows about it so its true , iam not the only one who wishing something like that afterall
If this is true..does it mean we don't need to unlock boot loader to flash new kernels.

its not done yet , but when its done u will have to unlock bootloader from pc then flash ur desired kernel anytime through cwm recovery no flashtool anymore
i thinks its possible with higher kernels (example 2.6.35) and not with our 2.6.29. but i m not sure.. correct me if im wrong
This is my first ask there, and I dont know english well, so I try duplicate my question in Russian.
I have Sony Ericsson E16i, it is rooted, and I already had installed xrecovery. I want to install Cyanogenmod 7.1 on my phone, but when I select in xrecovery "apply update.zip" or "install custom zip" after 3 sec. installation aborted with error 7. How to fix it, use only this phone? I use es explorer as root explorer (work correctly). My version is android 2.1, kernel stock, 2.1.1.a.0.53. Help me please!
P.S. I think in this post is too much mistakes - sorry, I am only in 8 class!
P.P.S. I couldn't duplicate this post in rus. Use Google Translate!!!

Can you check your production code ? Take out your battery and look for a code (i.e. 10w47)
Ok, 1 minute.

Well then you're out of luck you cant flash kernels...do you have CWM recovery installed ?
No, I use xrecovery... Where I can take cwm for my phone? Google didnt give me this...
Sent from my E16i using XDA
But I could try install it without change kernel, couldnt i?
Sent from my E16i using XDA
Here, flash this ROM and you will have CWM recovery...once you're done, tell me.
Download now. Write after install.
Sent from my E16i using XDA
I found cwm... Should I try install it, or install rom?
Sent from my E16i using XDA
if you can its easier to install the cwm alone but if its too hard, isntalling the rom is easier
Ok, begin try to install...
Sent from my E16i using XDA
Good luck
At first I updated xrec. to cwm based by amend, then try install your rom. It asks me update my baseband to m76xx-tsnsjolym-5304015. But I have it()))

My rom requires a custom kernel...yours is a stock kernel...i recommend using PrimeHD or GingerDX both superb roms for stock kernel....

Here is what you have to do.
If you still have your MiniCM6 backup, restore it using a recovery. Full wipe, wipe cache and dalvik cache then power off your phone. Then, use Flashtool to flash back stock kernel.
If you do not have the backup, download MiniCM6, boot into recovery, full wipe, wipe cache nd dalvik cache, then flash MiniCM6. Power off and use Flashtool to flash stock kernel.
Done (hopefully)

I already told it at first

I don't know. I think the question should be more clear
I'm sorry for that, I don't know and don't understand about flash tool or flash kernel..I'm really don't understand, I try to find answer and still don't know...could you explain me? Why do we do??
Sent from my E15i using XDA
First tell me which rom do you want to flash ?
We do the flashtool stuff if we want to install a kernel or sometimes rom.. But you can install rom through recovery also.
Look we use flashtool to:
1-flash new kernels
2-install recovery on stock kernel.
3-rooting the phone
4- unlocking the bootloader (last version)
5-installing apps.
6-creating bundles if we want to restore Eclair
----------//-------
To flash a new ROM:
if your bootloader is unlocked u flash a new kernel and then using recovery u flash the Zip file which is the ROM.
If u cannot unlock your bootloader then u cannot change your kernel and must use ROMS which support stock kernel.

Sent from my XPERIA using XDA Premium.
Well he can use xrecovery if unlocking bootloader is not possible (?)
Did I tell anything wrong?
Yes he should use Xrecovery to flash new ROMs.
But he can't change the kernel or the phone will be bricked (softly)
Sent from my XPERIA using XDA Premium.
Oh yes..Lets see if he can unlock his BL or not
You didn't say anything wrong
If u don't know about flashtool this means that you are in stock kernel....
Two ways
First if you had made a backup with cwm you can restore it with cwm,that will replace the current rom with the one you had backed up
second,if you haven't made backup then install your old rom just as you installed it first time,put it in SD,go to cwm or xrecovery ,full wipe,wipe dalvik, install zip from SD....

Maybe he never tried to unlock bootloader...and that's the reason he doesn't know anything about flashtool

Yes,what did I tell?!
If he is on stock kernel there is no need to tell him how to flash kernels......
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
I mean if he can unlock his bootloader he can flash kernels.
And I say maybe the reason his bootloader is unlocked is that he never tried to unlock it since he is a noooooob.

Hello ,
anyone know how to put clockworkmod recovery on galaxy ace gt s5830 froyo 2.2.1?
in the recovery stock it said apply sdcard:update.zip WTF
sent from NAEEM :good:
Firstly, you need to root your phone. Only if your phone is rooted can you install CWM.
Secondly, just go through the first page of the android development page and you'll find an easy guide to do all this.
There is no CWM for 2.2.1(froyo)
I think...!
Don't install them or your phone will be dameged...

USING XDA APP ON SONY XPERIA U st25i
Hi guys. Today I tried upgrading GingerDX from v030 to v031b but I mistakenly downloaded (and flashed) Alfs/nAa instead of Stock kernel.
Now the phone screen won't pass the Sony Ericsson boot scree... I can't find the key combinations to enter into CWM recovery menu. Is there any other way I can flash the proper ROM using Flashtool? I found this guide but I don't want to go back to the stock kernel (if possible).
Thank you!
You mean to. Say stock rom??
You are already on stock kernel...
& no other option you must follow that guide if you can't unlock bootloader!
see boot animation without rebooting

Right, I already have the stock kernel, but I flashed Alfs/nAa ROM instead of the Stock one (from the download options) and now the phone won't pass the bootloader... Will try that guide since I can't enter CWM recovery using the key combinations I found

I re-installed 2.1 e15a stock kernel, then xRecovery and tried with 31b and 30 to no avail (SE -> GingerDX logo loop).
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong...

1. Use CWM to flash GDX!
2. Wipe dalvik cache that you forgot..

Where can I downloadCWM? I couldn't find it and that's why I used xrecovery
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Will xtoolbox do the job?
It I'll be great if everything comes from one place instead of having to root using guide A, install CWM from guide B to end up using XDA's guide to install GDX. Just un idea, specially for noobs

Well, when I softbricked my X8, I never used my PC to unbrick it. I will just go into the recovery and flash a working rom. Problem solved..
But I can't figure out why he is sayig he can't go into the recovery. The button patterns remains the same no matter what rom you are on or what kernel you use. But I can be wrong.
Anyway did you do all these steps:
# Wipe Full System
# Wipe Cache, Dalvik-Cache
These steps are very important. But we often forget them.
Dude.....
Sometimes can't get into recovery while on stock kernel

Maybe the op is downloading gdx for custom kernel...

We dont see the sony ericsson logo on custom kernels..
it is seen only on stock kernel.
so there is a high possibility that op downloaded the wrong rom..

if you use rom for stock kernel you can see the GDX logo...that is part of boot animation. alfs shows WLAN version not GDX. the Sony Ericsson logo is of stock kernel. so if you flash a rom for custom kernel you will still see that logo
it is possible (as dagger said) that OP downloaded rom for custom kernel.
