[Q] Stucks after flashing or installing ROM.

I flashed the latest official firmware...
Than after all my attempts i can't install any ROM, except official 2.1.
Please, write me instructions how to install CM7 - i need help...
I have rooted 2.1 with xRecovery - what's next?

Go to xrecrovery choose instal custom zip from sd card hoose zip from sd card find your mini cm 7 install rom and factory reset/full wipe.

It depends on ROM. Some of CM7 works only on custom kernels, so You should first check if You will be able to unlock bootloader. Look behind Your battery - on the stick there should be something like xxWyy which will tell You the year and the week of Your board. If it's older than 11W26 (26th week of 2011) - U may unlock bootloader and install custom kernel (on Your own risk ;P). If not - You shouldn't do this and search for ROMs working on SE stock kernel

Also, some ROM required CWM instead of Xrecovery, so read carefully before attempting anything.

Hmmmm
I unlocked bootloader long time ago(10WW48 on the sticker).
to przemek4113: Just installing from xrecovery gives me a unbooting phone.
I tried Froyo, but it doesn't boot too.
Then i'm flashing(Xrecovery doesn't give me a booting phone even if i recover all system) official 2.1.
This phone was bought with GinderDX on it. But latest versions need new kernels(flashing kernel bricks phone).
May be try Previous versions of GingerDX?
Really, i tried about seven customs...
P.S. I'm installing xrecovery ROM's from Xrecovery and CWM ROM's from CWM...

Mind to elaborate where you read that "latest versions need new kernels"?
GingerDX runs on STOCK KERNEL, LinuxDX as well as Alfs. I fail to find the part in doixanh's post where it says something about forcing a certain kernel to be used.

Make sure you have an older x8 than 11w29, its under the battery. When the number is 11w29 or newer, you'll not get CM. Unlock your bootloader.
Download and flash FXP kernel. Install official CM with the kernel built-in CWM. I recommend to flash nAa kernel after install the CM, it's much better.

If you want CM7 you should go to this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362585

That's my fault - i was speaking about another ROM. Not GingerDX - but it doesn't boot too.
I followed advise about miniCM7.
Flashed kernel ->then wiped all(i disliked the message about ext4 - there's no this partition - probably that's the problem???) ->installed ROM. Nothing.
"nAa kernel" logo appears and then it reboots.
UPD:
I've installed GingerXperia(v19) via CWM.
Then -
I've flashed all kernel,fota and smth else(not all files from 2.1.1).
Then it booted...strange)
But i'll try to work with other kernels...

Flash Tool - I've seen links on it thousand times on 4pda.ru, but not here - i suppose it to be in the branch about X10.
http://www.mediafire.com/?z7fmpiragbbdxdu - here is flasher.
http://depositfiles.com/files/c2gllgt6t - or here, with official firmware

It would be great if somebody could provide the step by step procedure of flashing my w8 to get past the se logo....

1)Download all archives above
2)Run flasher
3)Press "Flash" and choose necessary firmware
4)follow advices of software
5)reboot -> You have official 2.1
then
1)check your bootloader(http://4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/1227710/S1tool.7z) with this tool
2)unlock it if it is able for you
3)take root(superoneclick with debugging)
4)make xrecovery
5)install any xrecovery zip
or
alt 5)make CWM
alt 6)install any CWM zip
or
install kernel
then install zip
Firstly try it from xrecovery. If you have some problems - write PM to me)

I have done it and successfully flashed as per flashtool...but now even i cant boot stuck at "sony ericsson" now the animated logo works and reboots automatically...pls help

Have you done "user-wipe" in Flash Tool???
Here is from friendly branchcontains a collection of GingerDX 013-022 and some other goodies in the "Sony Ericsson" folder - i.e. Basebands, PCC, SEUS, Flashtool)
http://www.mediafire.com/?eca0sualnao4c4c
Thanks to B.Jay

Atlast with full user data wipe in flash tool I recoverd my phone...THANKS A LOT!!!

[Q] Bootloop with nAa10 on X8/E15i [SOLVED!]

Hi!
I had a problem with my smart (if you call me, it reboot, something reboot automatically). I was using GingerDX v21 and v22. I downgraded to 2.1 via PC Companion but doesn't works.
So, I decided to use MiniCM7. I followed this tuto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553 and the bootloader unlock tuto too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
Well, I did everything correctly, I guess. I see the nAa logo when I turn on my smart and I can enter in CWM-Recovery.
I have installed the MiniCM7-2.1.8-shakira, MiniCM7-2.1.7-shakira, MiniCM7-2.1.6-X8, GingerXperiaRay_V004 and PrimeHD20 but I can't pass of boot (bootlooping).
I don't know if I did something wrong. I had instaled too E15_nAa-09_2.6.29.6-nAa-09 and E15_nAa-06b_2.6.29.6-nAa-06b (first I tried v10). I everytime wipe all data.
If I install the original kernel and rom it works normally. I don't know what I can do. I do the same process three times, wiping all, installing, etc. and nothing!
What I'm doing wrong? There are some possibilities of my smart don't support it?

read this first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011071 to go back to 2.1...
then root, install xrecovery,unlock bootloader,flash nAa kernel you need ,and then
install MiniCM7...

try this method
1.root
2.unlock bootloader
3.flash nAa v10
4.then your phone will have CWM and flash the rom minicm7.218
5.flash google gapps gb
6.reboot and see it bootloop or not??

1. Flashing: Flashtool + X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf (success!)
2. Flashing: Flashtool + X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015.ftf (success!)
3. Drivers yet installed from last tries. (success!)
4. Flashing: Flashtool + E15_nAa-10_2.6.29.6-nAa-10.ftf (success!)
5. Turn on smart, CWM and wipe all (success!)
6. Flashing: CWM + MiniCM7-2.1.8-shakira.zip (success!)
7. Flashing: CWM + gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip (success!)

is this working?

First of all i would like to thanks all the Developers for their Incredible work on this site. I am using this site for a long time it helped me in solving many issues. I flashed many Custom ROMS on My X8 & X10 never had big issues so there was no need to post just becuase there was already so much of information here. But from last 4 days i am messing with my X8 when i tried flashing Jelly Bean Rom. Previously i was using 2.3.7 in my x8.I cant say i am very good but i am not new to these Roms. I actually searched alot but failed so i am here for help. In order to use Jelly Bean my x8 is having Bootloop issue. I follow all the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789713 regarding Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136211. I follow each guidelines but still Bootloop . Not only that i cant use any other custom rom now everytime bootloop. SESU repair my phone but i cant use 2.1 now after using custom roms in x8 for longtime, It feels pathetic Now i dnt want Jelly Bean in x8 anymore i ll be more than happy if i get 2.3.7 back :angel:
I tried different Roms , Kernels but everytime same result "Bootloop"
Rooting fine, Flashing Kernel fine,, Rom instalation fine. Had doubt regarding Unlocking Bootloader ( Whether its properly unlocked or not). so Flashtool says Its "unlocked" but it also said it cant be "unlocked officially". So i tried another way to with s1 tools from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23680742&postcount=1 and r is smaller too RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r8A029". Now i am really confuse. tired and fed up 4 days GingerXperia, JellyBread.Jelly Bean everything failed
But i want to add 1 thing which is related to BLU because i cant dial *#*#7378423#*#* service menu from my x8 is that the clue or issue. Plz members help me out. Thanks in Advance.

Please Help

Damn ..
I have tried many times with naa kernel to flash rooms, but stuck in bootlop.
After I found this tread, flashed baseband 15 (I have selected only baseband to flash), flashed again nAa kernel and then custom ROM and phone is working.
Thanks

[Q]flashing kernel while using custom rom

i have unlocked Bootloaderand i wanna flash nAa kernel while using custom rom.will that work? or flash back to stock kernel first?
need answer as fast as possible
sorry for my bad english

Yeah it will work if the rom supports that kernel.Just wipe the dalvik cache before flashing

Just transfer the nAa ROM into your SD card, flash the nAa kernel and when your phone boots up, open CWM and install the ROM.

i see now... if stuck on SE logo then i'll have to rein stall the rom again?

If You flash nAa kernel there won't be SE logo. It will be nAa logo And don't worry about stuck - there's a built-in recovery in nAa kernel, so even if You forgot to copy compatible ROM to SD card there's always an option to enable USB storage via CWM recovery. But make sure You have backup Your contacts / apps / messages etc before do anything.

oh....i never flashed kernel before...
after i unlocked bootloader then my phone hard bricked and sent to repair for 1 month+
after i get it back i checked whether the bootloader unlocked or not it surprisingly unlocked @@ and i was like

So now go ahead and install kernel and then ROM following the instructions and good luck.

X8 ....After unlocking bootloader it went out of SIM signal....imanage to solve this problem.
But i have a mayor problem: I`ve tried to install GingerDx, PrimeHD, MiniCM9, on Sock and Custom Kernels and it always stuks at booting.
Before unlocking bootloader stock kernel ROMs were runnig all right, even PrimeHD 7.0 with nAa 11 worked but not anymore.
Anyone knows what is happening, should i relock and unlock it again?

Yes...full wipe= Done...but doesn`t work after full wipping.

well are you sure you have unlocked your bootloader?
re-check with s1tool...if it's unlocked then with flashtool go back to stock rom,kernel(android 2.1) and then root it again install recovery and then first try to install some other rom for stock kernel and then install custom kernel and then custom ROM
Pay attention on your ftf kernel files...i accidently downlaoded U20 nAa kernel instead of x8 nAa kernel...and guest what-->that kernel didn't work so whatch out for which phone is ftf kernel file
i hope i helped

[Q] Need help to uninstall kernel. Phone is stuck on single kernel

Hi,
I just installed Jelly bean latest kernel with its latest Rom Beta 2. After a while I wanted to change to latest nAn kernel and install a new rom that supports nAn kernel, when i tried to flash this kernel I was just getting a white led on my phone not even able to go in Xrecovery. When i installed the jelly bean kernel everything is normal again. I also saw the uninstall procedures to flash stock kernel which i did the result i got is, Iam just stuck at the sony boot logo no reactions further. Please someone help me to uninstall a kernel and go back to stock kernel with rom installed so that i can change my kernel again. Also let me know if my boot-loader will be relocked.
