[Q] gingerdx - xrecovery?

Hello,
I use gingerDX v13 on my X8 phone.
When i reboot, i now have allways the choise for rebooting, xrecovery and clockworkmod.
I was using xrevovery before, and i don't know if it's better to stick with it, or that i should use clockworkmod.
I did some reading, but didn't found any straight comparision...
What is your opinions?
tx!

They're both important. To install gingerdx v013 and below, u can only use xrecovery. Bt starting from v14 and above, daioxanh says u need to use clockwork mod
Sent from my X8 running on GingerDX via XDA APP

both Xrecovery and clockwork mod have different update script,thats just what i know..

You need em both, and for things like full wipe or cache wipe there's no difference in which one u use...

Thanku so much 4 replying ! I am new to the xperia x8 community (was using optimus one) b4 & had a hard time figuring out the basics. I will be installing gingerdx next !

Unlock bootloader, flash one of kernels, boot phone, enter CWM and install GDX

you guys have gave him requirements for cwm but you never answered his question:
you can flash v013 or below with xrecovery but v014 or higher you need cwm.thats why i have gdx v013; i can flash v014 or higher since i have cwm but i like the version i got + i cant be bothered to rewrite all of my contacts

Oh damn. when I first flashed GingerDX, I used xRecovery for it to install v018, and EVERYTHING worked fine! Camera, 3G , Bluetooth, wifi. , Not a problem!
But maybe that was a once off.
I then installed v019 with CWM

[Q] Problem Flashing nAa-13 Kernel

I want to install MiniCM7 2.2.1, I understand that the nAa-13 kernel is required before installing this.
I have tried flashing this kernel but get the error: ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
My phone details are:
Xperia X8i (E15i)
Firmware: 2.1 update1
Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Kernel: 2.6.29 [email protected]#1
Build no. 2.1.1.C.0.O
I tried installing the mini CM7 rom without the nAa-13 kernel and this soft bricked my phone. I had to download a stock 2.1 rom and reflash it.
Anyone know where I am going wrong?
Thanks in advance

You have to unlock your bootloader first before you can flash custom kernels.

If you find it too complicated, there are links to other guides in the OP. Make sure that your phone's manufacture date is 11W28 or below.

yes you can
from MiniCM7 you can directly flash he ICS kernel and ICS ROM without any prob
if you stuck on logo or boot animation just wait
or flash it again..kernel and ROM
and dont forget to backup after flash kernel,, then factory reset, etc after flash the kernel

try to reflash the whole system with Sony Ericsson Update Service. If your phone can be switch on then just flash the kernel with Flash tool, and try again to access the recovery. Good luck

if you still can connect your phone to PC, there's way to safe your phone

try fresh install then use the flashable superuser zip in the thread it will work

are you already unlock bootloader or your using stuck?
and hope your x8 can unlock bootloader.
Sent from my X8 using xda premium

Re-install GDX.
Then flash the superuser zip from the rom thread through CWM.

I don't suggest overclock,if you want big difference in performance you better buy a new phone...but if you want it that much, try it

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

Did you do a full wipe?

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
