help I do not know what to do

sorry for my bad english

You should be able to downgrade it with any regular flasher for the x8. I did it too, when i was a newb in rooting and using cm's. You just need a firmware flasher and the x8's original 1.6 firmware. Anyway, that's what i had used xD

Why do you want to go back to 1.6?
If I understood you right, you have GingerFloyo right now, so you can also go back with flashing your 2.1 backup with xrecovery, or, if you haven´t made one, you can go back to 2.1 via PCC/SEUS.

so now i have 2.9 floyo however the bug there is also the in my beck up of 2.1...
Georg1992ad i need a firmware flasher and the x8's original 1.6 firmware

again thank to all..
i don't know what i could make without your help

I´ve looking for a downgrade for my X8 until i found this post with some similarities mith my case, I hope u dont mind that I asked for some help in the post of someonelse
Well, I upgrade my X8 to MiniCM6-1.0.1 and to do this i follow a tutorial on youtube, but after root my phone and installed a baseband that ends in ...xxx015 in order to install the MiniCM6-1.0.1 I realized that my phone couldnt conect to internet in 3g mode.. someweeks after that i tried to recover 3g mode by installing Hackdroid Floyo 2.2.5 and I discovered that i completely lost conection to internet (even EDGE and GSM mode) and since then I´ve trying to Downgrade my phone with SEUS and PCC but both dind´t work
So finally im trying to downdrade my X8 with Falshtool but when the program is going to start flashing an error appears and this is what it says
ERROR - Error in processHeader
ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
Please could u help me to find a solution to this?
Thanks for ur time

Have you repaired with pc companion yet and why are using old roms?

Yes, i tried PC companion and it did not work y also tried to repair with SEUS but also did not work.
To be true i didn´t know that MiniCM6-1.0.1 was old... my BIG mistake was to follow a tutorial video on youtube to upgrade my X8 from 2.1.1 (original firmware) to 2.2.1 without looking for more detail information
When I installed the hacdroid version and after config the APN I was able to conect to internet just in EDGE mode, but one day after (and until now) I lost conection to internet in anymode My provider gave me some manual configuration and even resets my service but it didn´t work
Any idea to solve internet and flashtool problems?
Thanks a lot!

Dude! I had the very same problem as you when I installed MINICM6 back in August, and yes, I did watch that video showing how to install it.
But anyway, I repaired my phone and I'm on GDX since

When I said Big mistake I mean that i didn't look for more information about using ROMS i didnt know anything about kernels and basebands and looking in the web i found this amazing comunity and I'm learning a LOT about roms basebands kernels.
Well looking here (in the forum) i found a solution to my internet problem (actually I copied just APN type from a minixperia x10) and for the 3g issue i already changed to the correct baseband, tomorrow i will tested if the 3g is already working (I hope so)
And now i just looking for a stable ROM because the MiniCM6-1.0.1 is kind of buggy
Thanks to all for your time

To be a litle bit more specific about the error, It was that i just followed all the steps in the 4 videos of a tutorial on youtube, I mean I never asked myself if that steps were the most adecuate for my device (obviusly it wasn't) The autor of the videos gave a link with a baseband for a E15i and my x8 is an E15a and for that i lost 3g
And about the internet problem... until now i dont know what was the exactly error, I mean what could happened to miss the internet conection form one day to the next day... The APN that I configured myself was working in MiniCM6 and just for one day worked on floyo hackdroid 2.2.5 and next day no internet conection (SO WEIRD) and just copying the APN type from other device (same provider) everything works fine until now.

No Call, No Dataconnection...

Hi,
i´ve got a (big?) problem...i dont know why..but i cant make and get calls!
even the dataconnection doesnt work...
i have now the wgspolestras rc1 rom...i had tried the cm7...and the..i forgot..
i`ve made a clockworkmod restore...
nothing worked...
so i`ve flashed the baseband from 06.06 and updated the ril from the 06.06
no chance..no call...
what can i do?? i am a bit pissed off, no nice friday evening... -.-
i am new to the baseband & ril..so sorry if there is the answer somewhere...
hopefully someone can help me..
thanks

If nothing works, I suggest you do an NVflash. it's basically a clean flash of the stock ROM, which will clean everything (make sure you packup your apps on external sd card)
link of how to do it and the files you need - http://android.modaco.com/content/l...rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15-03-2011/

thanks..i will look at this...i hope it will work!
EDIT:
The device is flashing....
after that, there is a stock rom on the device, right?
i have to root it again, and to install romanager with clockworkmod and install a rom?
EDIT2:
NO SUCCESS!!
the lg stock rom has started, i got an sms, then i tried to call....nothing!!
When i call my phone ->its busy...
sending/receiving sms seems to work..

you have to root your phone again, and install rom manager/clockworkmod.
try calling someone else, or try receiving a call. This is the gold standard, if this doesn't work, then there's not much else you can do.

i got a bit shocked!!
but i`ve flashed the newest vodaphone stock rom....
and it worked! (okay the internetsettings are different from my provider)
but that worked too
i am going to root and flash it now...it should work..
EDIT:
Its working...somehow!! Dataconnection is very bad...
i`ve flashed the RC1 from WGSpolestra...i can call in and out, but with data connection the signal is very bad...can i flash new ril and baseband?

just try out other baseband and ril, not every version is working for everybody ...

i`ve flashed the 606 baseband and ril.
but i dont understand why that happens...from now to then these problems..
anyway..the phone is working again..

Same problem..
Hey there,
Ive got the same problem.
I was using the CM Nightly Rom, but just one dat, I got an "X" instead of having any signal.
Dont have a clue why or what happend.
I tried other roms, but All the same problem.
At the end, I tried the NVFLASh, that works, But only with the 2.2 Roms.
Today i put the latest nightly on my Lg, and My signal was gone after half a day.
Weird, Weird...

i think that i found the problem....
wich launcher are u using?
i had used the pro plus launcher, but after a reboot all my widgets are gone (loading problem) so i switched to the adw launcher and no problem any more!!!
the phone works well now!!
How stupid is that....such probem because of the launcher!!!?

hello,
Is it possible it's sim card problem ?
Try with another to see.
bye

i`ve used my card in a other phone..no problem..

No Calls suddenly Don't know what to do!!!!
Suddenly NO Incoming Calls. Knew it the next day when my friend personally came to see.
Also got scolded from company.
Dont' know what is the problem. But 3 to 4 restart helps.
I feel I may be an IDIOT for buying this phone.

[Q] i just cant get radio to work

ive just upgraded from miui 1.4.something to 1.7.15 (galnet).
once finished installing immediately got com.android.phone not working. and continued to pop up untill i went into airplane mode, there was also no reception and sim was not recognized.
ive tried pretty much evrything; restoring nandroid, flashing different roms, flashing radios.
nothing works, i cant get any reception in some cases and in others i cant recognize the sim, im pretty much helpless by now after 5 good hours of messing around with pretty much evrything, if anyone has any idea please let me know.

i figure this has something to do with EFS but i cant seem to restore it, i could really use some help on this one....

Have you lost your IMEI?
I believe flashing back to a stock Froyo rom should resolve your issues.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

going back to froyo seems to work, but not fully : i cant seem to send texts, also flashing another rom from here still does not work.
so im stuck with stock froyo with no messaging.

there must be something i missed... no one has any idea?

I'm not to sure why you cant sent texts, makes calls etc.
But after flashing to Froyo, did you paste your original EFS folder back into the phone? Which Froyo firmware did you flash?
Also have you checked your APN settings. Are they correct?

again. calls work, but texts dont.
also, this is in the original firmware.. on anything else i cant get anything to work.
and yes i restored the EFS but it did not help any.

[Q] Cannot make or receive calls - GingerDX v019

Hello there.
I have a big problem, recently i decided to root my X8, install xRecovery, and finally flash GingerDX v019 so i could enjoy the benefits of 2.3 on my phone, since SE's costumer service and device support just suck.
Everything is working just fine, including wi-fi and data transmission, bluetooth, etc, except for one big thing: the phone calls (incoming and outgoing)
The weird thing is, after i reboot the phone, i can make or receive one call, but just one... after that if i try to call anyone it just says "call ended", and if someone tries to call me, they hear the service providers message instead of my phone ringing.
I have GingerDX v019 with no add-ons and stock kernel, i've installed a few apps but no task manager/killer... Help?
Thank you in advance...
P.S: I can however send and receive sms's without problem, and i've installed Go Contacts EX/dialer as suggested in another thread to a user with this problem on GDX v015.
The only way for now that i found to prevent this bug is to have the data connection always on (on stock 2.1 i turned everything off when i was not using and never had a problem)

Full wippe install again gdx via cwm full wippe and it should work

I installed via xRecovery, you think that might be the problem?

Yes it is. You must install gdx via cwm. Try and you will see that everything work
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

It will be a major pain in the a** installing and configuring everything again, but if that's what i have to do... Thank you very much
UPDATE: Just installed via CWM, and my little-big bug seems to be dead and buried, Thank You once again :-D

No problem....

Hey, I am wondering if you can help. My mate just got an X8 from ebay but cannot make calls from it, much like what is described above. Is there a guide on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance for your time and help
Cheers
Chris

The problem i had was caused by changing the software and flashing a custom rom the wrong way. If your mate cannot make calls from it and the phone is in stock condition (with the original software), then the problem is the phone itself. I suggest a complaint to the person that sold the phone and if that does not solve the problem, report the person to eBay. If the payment was made via Paypal, the refund is almost immediate.

[UPDATED][Q] LTE Half working

Ok so I deleted all my software and redownloaded fresh
reflashed bootloader and radio from @firstEncounters post:
Followed @Skrilax_CZ 's CM 12.1 install guide for CM13
Still have the same radio, so I thought it was straight talk, called them today.. blamed it on me of course...
little while later I suddenly get 3G and Mobile Network now work...
But it still wont activate 4G.. Maybe cause I'm not technically Verizon? but it that doesn't make sense cause service was perfect on stock..... NOW my GPS is jacked.. like it can locate me.. but If I start moving its over for...
I know you guys gotta be tired of seeing me... And if you've seen something I havent done yet tell me..
My next stop is to go back in TWRP, Check all the WIpe boxs and thenGo back to @TheSt33vs guide for SU4TL-44 firmware package and start over...
Thanks again for all your help... Hope I can get this resolved... Im sure it some dumb **** im over looking...
LTE is on... Voice is off...

How do post a log of network?
