As mentioned in the original thread also, there is no recovery for primehd v8
You have to install it manually or use x8 tool box.

Dear friends,
I always stuck at SE logo whenever I try to install custom rom. Here is what I do:
1. Root My stock 2.1 with Flashtool
2. Install Busybox with flash tool
3. Copy xrecovery's 3 files to system/bin
4. Restart in xrecovery and Choose Install custom zip
5. After installation, I reboot and stuck!!!
I have tried "MiniCM7-2.2.1-shakira" and "GingerDX-v029-shakira.zip"
Any Help?? I dont want to unlock my bootloader.
Thnx
"MiniCM7-2.2.1-shakira" and "GingerDX-v029-shakira.zip" uses custom kernel.must on unlockbootloader
use gingerdx v29 for stuck

Did you do a full wipe?

Find some help here ... don't use xrecovery, cwm is better ... and use gingerDX stock... my recommendation

No,its like xrecovery
So,use cwm,full wipe before installing and check(at the about phone) your baseband,it should be like this, xxx15,if its not, update it with pccompanion or flashtool

No, how to do this?? is there any risk of hard brick?
No just find the baseband file and flash it on flashtool
Sent from my X8 using xda app-developers app
i recommend to you to start from scratch, 2.1, root, flash baseband, install busybox, install CWM recovery, the full wipe and flash rom, you can flash the baseband with flashtool, and i think there is no risk, i have done it several times, the baseband xxxx15 is required to flash custom roms.

If you have installed gingerdx there is no need to flash baseband xxx15 because you already have it!

Did you flash the overclock module? If yes,use setcpu or similar apps to change frequency
I don't recommend overclock,but if you want it that much...its your phone after all...

IAmNice
I unlocked bootloader (11W04).U think soft can be bricked ? How can i unbrick soft ?
feherneoh
Like u say i can access to CWM menu (no prob with any kernel), but then i cant install any rom, i try with other sd card maybe its rrly half-dead.
At all i can retrive phone to stock kernel and stock rom.
What's your baseband number?is it xxx015?
Also,you have to full wipe/factory reset at cwm before installing the rom(sometimes after,you can see this at the rom thread)

this aint sd problem i think... repair with SEMC.. and try re rooting the phone and then carry on the install.. if it still gives problem that zip is to blame:good:
@CnC-ROCK the thanks was just to show that what you are doing is right. continue to do this and you'll earn yourself a million thanks, one day.
@OP do you get any status 7 or similar errors? what ROM exactly are you trying to install?
I dot get any errors.
I tried with Blur v5 (based on cm7) and CyanogenMod 7 RC4 V7

it should install even if not supported for a kernel.. it will not boot or give problems after it.. but it wont stop installation of rc4
anyway.. rc4 supports alfs v9

Hi there.
I installed this Android http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031161 but then i wanted to install this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2019968 and after that i saw bootloader is locked in ICS 4.0.4.. i've read somewhere that you must go back to 2.2 or 2.3 so bootloader unlocks.. i tried it but it's not working.. when i press reboot into recovery mode [in rom manager] the phone makes FACTORY RESET ..
Any idea that could help me install Jellybam ?

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

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
Happened 3 times to me

If he downloaded for custom kernel ...
he can't see the GDX logo
only 'Sony Ericsson'

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.
Hello everyone.
