Hi. I have my SGSII which is really easy to modify and install firmwares and ROMs, but my fathers X8 is messed up. All I could find is ROMs but not firmwares for download. I can't install 2.3 ROM on 2.1 fw, right?; At least not on SGSII, so where can I dl GB firmware?
Maybe I'm stupid, but what's the difference between ROM and firmware? SE doesn't support x8 any more and left xperia owners with official Eclair 2.1 ROM, so all You are able to do is root Your father device, install recovery and flash a ZIP file which include GB 2.3 ROM for stock kernel (Like GingerDx f. eg.).... OR unlock bootloader (if You can of course, manufacture date here is important), flash custom kernel and than flash custom ROM (like GB MiniCM7 or iCS MiniCM9).
Well while I was reading on SGSII subforum tips I saw that you cannot flash ICS rom on Android 2.3, you have to install first ICS firmware, then flash ICS ROM.
Thanks I will try flashing GB ROM.

i install the jvk rom with the bootloader but now i want to install miui.To do that i have to be at froyo.Am i have to downgrade my bootloader for froyo and which versions of froyo have bootloader?
No mate, you should be able to flash your desired rom as it's compatible downward. Use Odin, or flash a kernel with CWM and do it that way
But if you find it more comfortable that way, XXJPU and ZSJPG roms have bootloaders as far as i know on samfirmware.com.
thanks man.
i am going to flash EZbase as the base rom.
Hi,
Currently, I have GB bootloader with lastest CM7 nightly 104#.
1. I was wondering if flashing XXJVS would install a newer or updated GB bootloader.
2. Is there a tool to compare bootloaders before flashing?
Thanks
Not much difference between all GB bootloaders. Only Froyo and GB differ more
Hey guys i have just gone from assylum back to stock prerooted gb rom using pc odin the flashed TheMIDTeam 1.5 Codename "B&G" LQ2 rom and i have lost root whats the best way to obtain root again ?
Flashing stock firmware includes the stock kernel right?
Was reading the N910T3 root guide and was surprised that root requires a custom kernel.
I'm assuming the previous kernel link is the stock kernel but since this is my daily driver, I want to make sure lol
Hi, I am currently use SOKP (5.1.1) rom on my t mobile note 4. My baseband is still COD6 (I guess bootloader should be in the same version as baseband). My TWRP is still 2.8.0.X.
I want to switch to Touchwiz based custom rom. In the meanwhile, I think I need to update the baseband (bootloader and etc) and TWRP for a smooth experience.
Can anyone advise an approach to do it? I am thinking to flash the latest original N910TUVU2DOK2_N910TTMB2DOK2_TMB.zip rom via odin. Can anyone post a link to the instruction? I want to make sure what I do via odin is correct.
I assume this flash will automatically update bootloader and baseband to the latest version. and I need to re-root and update TWRP per the instruction here before flash the TW based custom rom.
I figured out that I could just load the stock via odin and go from there. So far so good.
