[Q] Cant install any custom rom! :(

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!

[Q] Couple of boot loader unlocking doubts...

Helloo Everybody..
I will be really grateful if someone found a solution to my problem...
I know that this is not a support site, but a developers world, but after searching and googling, i couldnt help my self.
Mods can close and delete this thread if they want.
My question is that if I flash a Gingerbread kernel(nAa or Alfs) on ECLAIR 2.1...wont it create problems..such as force closing or rebooting sort of problems??
Secondly I read SpydeX thread of unlocking bootloader..i got all the tools ready, but the thread doesnt mentions anything about entering into recovery via kernel on ECLAIR 2.1... the guide just tells that after flashing entr into recovery and flash the rom.
I tried this trick on my friends X8, but no success..
Thanxx in advance

If you flash a custom kernel at the eclair while you have locked bootloader,you will have bootloop(it wont boot,but you can easily fix it),if you have unlocked your bootloader it will be fine
As for your second question,you unlock your bootloader,you flash the kernel(which contain cwm),you enter recovery(cwm),and you flash the rom.

No he's got it wrong.
1. You can't flash custom kernels on a locked rom flashtool won't allow it.
2. Flashing a custom kernel on stock 2.1 will cause it to bootloop, what you'd normally do is enter recovery and flash a rom that works with the kernel.

Hi,
And why is it fun?
Just root> unlock bootloader> flashthe kernel kernel (nAa/Oxydo-JB) if you want to Jelly Blur (CM10) rom what it takes to unlock the kernel
In this way, what you gave it a quick and convenient, and look closely and you can unlock the bootloader here on the forum you will find step-by-step instructions
Also good luck and best regards

I dont understand it right. Iam now back on stock because i bricked the phone.
What i did is root stock, after that i unlocked bootloader, then i installed cwm and then i want to install kernel for jellyblur but everytime i do that my phone bricks. How exactly i have to flash the kernel? After flashing kernel i format system and data like in instruction. I rebooted then phone without flashing jellyblur i think this is the problem. I have to fladh kernel then go in cwm formatting system and data and without exiting flashing jellyblur is this right?

[Q] Soft bricked X8

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

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.

Sometimes can't get into recovery while on stock 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.

[Q] XPERIA X8 problem after unlock bl

Hi, i have a xperia x8 (10w52) with unlocked bootloader and I think I have a problem after the bootloader unlocked. So what's the problem?
My xperia won't boot into custom rom after I install the rom. I didn't get any problem about install custom rom when my bootloader is still locked. But, after I unlock the bootloader...... Another story with locked bootloader. Won't boot, stuck in sony ericsson logo (stock kernel) & nAa/oxydo (custom kernel). I follow the instruction in each cusrom thread. But it same.
Any idea?
Thx.
nb : everything's fine when it runs on stock rom and stock kernel.

are you sure your bl is unlocked? because if you flashed a different kernel, se logo shouldn't appear anymore.
also, what rom+kernel combination are you trying to flash? if it's jb, you need to format system, cache and data, flash kernel, and reformat again. only after should you flash the rom.
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.

Veryyyy sureee. I checked it with s1tool.. It was same thing when I install the custom rom. Stuck in boot. (happened in stock and custom kernel)
Like what I said, I followed all the instructions.
This is the rom & kernel that I tried but it's bootlooping.
NAa + MiniCM10
NAa + Jellyblur (nAa full support version)
NAa + JBMP
Stock Kernel + ZenceFii v14 stock
I will try to install GingerDX v30 (my old custom rom on my x8 when the bootloader still locked) with stock kernel. I will let you know what happen next

for jb roms, what i do is format /system /cache /data via cwm (either on stock or gb kernel), flash naa's jb kernel, then format those partitions again. then i flash minicm10. i haven't experienced bootloops by doing that. good luck in flashing gdx though. :thumbup:
