I have rooted this phone and installed xrecovery~~ And I had tried to restore custom ROM from xrecovery but it still din worked out.... My phone keep restarting showing SONY ERICSSON AND HACKDROID!!!!
PLS ASSIST PLS~~~~
So you want to install that ROM by a backup right? Anyway, you should always do a full wipe after changing ROMs (not restoring your own backups).
Make sure that you have the Latest X8 Kernel and Baseband (xx015), i had this problem too and it was for this reason.

Before you do anything else, you need to update your phone using PC Companion (download here: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/supp...x8?cc=us&lc=en). PC Companion will guide you right through all the steps for updating.
The latest version is 2.1.1.A.0.6, and the latest baseband is M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015.
You can check your version by going to Settings -> About Phone.
If you are already running a custom ROM, you should update using PC Companion too, because some roms (like MiniCM) need the latest official version.
If you need basebands for your X8, here's a helpful thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976538
Flash them with FlashTool.

That's not entirely correct ...
The latest ROM version for the X8 is 2.1.1.C.0.0 and there's a FTF image for Flashtool flashing.
The latest ROM version for the W8 (and that's tohno's phone) is 2.1.1.A.0.53(?) .54(?) and there's no Flashtool FTF around. The best thing you can find is a 2.1.1.A.0.46 xRecovery backup. I once found the latest W8 ROM image (FTF) by Google on some Malyasian? Chinese? websites where one needs some program to download plus a login to the site distroing the file (looks like Share or PerfectDark or something along that line).
lol ..that is too advanced for me
Hi !
My cousin has asked me to help flash his W8 with 'New Software' to enable installing apps to the memory card ! I'm not an android user (I have Samsung Wave, bada os !) but I know a thing or two about flashing. I figured out that as the default os, android 2.1 doesn't support apps2sd (?), it needs an unofficial ROM (as Sony doesn't have an update coming) with a more recent android like Gingerbread or IcecreamSandwich.
And, I have some questions !
1. Which is best Gingerbread ROM interms of simplicity and reliability
Also, he says he need 'zoom' feature in the camera !
2. Here is the info about his W8
Code:
model e16i
firmware 2.1 update1
baseband m76xx-tsncjolym-53404015
kernal 2.6.29 SEMC
build number 2.1.1.A.0.53
Is there any need to update the baseband ?
3. After reading some tuts, this is the procedure I should follow ?
a. Flash latest firmware using SEUS (is it needed?) and enable debug mode for usb connection
BTW, after flashing latest firmware, do I need to flash the baseband ?
b. Root the phone
c. Install xRecovery or any other restore app as required by the ROM
d. Load the zip file containing the OS to the memory card and boot into xRecovery
e. Use the recover/update option to install the OS
f. Do factory reset
Did I miss something ?
4. Is there any way to install the Walkman player after flashing with the custom ROM ?
5. What about the drivers, I mean audio, display, camera etc ?
Is there any tangible improvements for modded drivers ?
Can you recommend a good set of drivers ?
just follow this guide -

Just from my opinion.
1.The Best GingerBread Rom, GingerDx/PrimeHD [for stock kernel/Costum Kernel] & MiniCm7 [ use Costum Kernel ] suggest use GingerDx.
Zoom Feature, Install Zoom FX Camera App from Google Play.
2.If the number 015 in last, I think No need to Flash baseband for update. but not very sure, you can use SEUS Software From computer for Update if you want to.
3.
a]If you already update with SEUS mean your baseband is already up to date.
b]Root you phone [yes] but only if you on Stock Kernel. [Bootloader still Unlocked]
c]Install xRecovery [yes]
d][No] You need make an Nandroid backup, And do fullWipe before install/flashing new ROM.
4.You can find W8 music Apk [Maybe]
5.OfCoz ALOT OF IMPROVEMENT! than The DAMN STOCK ROM
Sweetie no one can tell you what is the best ROM for your phone. We might have the same specs but we will have different experiences and results So the best way is to try and see it for yourself to start with try GDX.
bricked ?
Thanks guys for the replies
I had seen only the 'athulele's post and committed to it (followed the tutorial of 'JimDem' ) and now the phone is stuck at the "Sony Ericsson" logo, can't go to CWM or Freexperia recovery
This is what I've done !
1. Rooted using the X8toolbox
2. Installed Busybox 1.19
3. Installed Freexperia and CWM recovery
4. Created backup using Freexperia
5. Done Factory reset
6. 'Wiped'
7. Loaded "MiniCM7-2.2.0-shakira.zip" ROM zip file to the root of the memory card
8. 'Installed' it using CWM recovery
9. Tapped "yes" to a prompt asking like...full recovery or something (?)
AND now, its stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo
I'm on a slow internet connection so, flashing with Sony PC companion is my best bet ?
Is there any way to solve it without downloading any stuff ?

Mate, minicm7 rom use only with costum kernel (nAa 11 kernel). To install costum kernel you need to unlock the bootloader,(read warning unlock bootloader thread before something happen) Thats why you get stuck. I suggest you read the ultimate FAQ by lucastan96, or any sticky thread. Like I mention above. Better flash gingerDX rom which is working with stock and costum kernel.
And for repair download stock rom for x8 or use SEUS.
Sent from my thumb using my eyes
@techmachi
The date stamp is 11W38 => Its bootloader can't be unlocked according to that guy who started the Sticky thread
SO, I guess have to restore with SEUS, right ?
@Shimizux
Thanks man for the heads up !
I didn't look before I pulled the trigger on the MiniCM, my bad
I've downloaded SEUS and gonna repair it !!

Yw mate. And yes you can't unlock the bootloader.
Yap,Seus will flash a new fresh stock Rom. Aftar that, start all over again. Flash GingerDX is a good idea. Fullwipe before installing.

I have downloaded the GingerDX ROM but there is some problem with SEUS as it is downloading very slowly. So, I'm downloading the X8 factory firmware from a Russian site, narod.ru.
The X8 firmware should work with W8 or would've to download the W8 factory ROM ?
Wells hostena
I'm have suspicion that the factory X8 ROM I'm downloading is Russian ! So, is there any option to change the language anywhere ?
I'm asking because I've never used an Android phone that long, not that accustomed to its way it works !!
BTW, is it OK to flash it (GingerDX) with CM recover or should I flash it with xRecover ?
Thank You !!
Hi guys !
I've finally flashed the GingerDX ROM !
Thanks for your help !!
BTW, is there is anything to do to 'jazz it up' before I return the X8 to my cousin ?
Can you recommend me some cool themes and widgets ?
This is what i did on my GingerDx.
Theme i used : Ics theme by a-chep [Already include in Rom]
Bootanimation : Nexus one
Launcher : GoLauncher with Golauncher ICS Theme
ICS-settings : ICS Setting
You want Walkman Music Player Right : Here

hi guys, i have some issues during installation process. when i try to install any ROM it just dont accept it. ive followed exact instructions and checked for my version, baseband, rooted, installed xrecovery, wiped data, install rom, again full wipe and again it seems that doesnt work. i checked also for requirements, i have unlocked bootloader, have stock kernel but no lucky at all. im desperate, i dont wanna to stuck again with eclair because its poor in comparation with >2.2. i havent mentioned that earlier about 3 months ago i succed to install gingerv20 without any problem but now i cant. pls help
If you have unlocked your bootloader then why are you on stock kernel?? :what:
Flash the correct & latest nAa or alfs kernel and then the corresponding compatible rom.
Also don't do full wipe AFTER you have flashed the rom!!
Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app
U are not mentioning that u have installed a kernel with flashtool. If you are using a Rom which requires custom kernel then you have to flash first it with flashtool
Sent from my ST26i using xda app-developers app
You better use cwm instaid of xrecovery. If you have indeed unlocked your bootloader then you can install the kernel with flashtool and the cwm will be included. Also as i have already told you see what kernel the rom works with!
hey guys, when i choosed what rom i will download, in requrement said that will work with stock kernel and i didnt flashed it. but before that rom i flashed it with flashtool to try others and also didnt work...im not that noob, i can read but im sure that i srewed something up...i'll continue to try and i'll let u know have i succed...tnx anyway
After many roms tryed i finally succed to install 'Update-GingerElite.V2', and i didnt FULL WIPED after installing it as ''cdeox8'' said, and he was right. In requrements just said that that need to be rooted, Baseband 015, Sony Ericsson Stock Kernel and that was true, but i tryed few of roms who required same things but they didnt work. Anyway im not gonna to risk anymore with roms, i like this GingerElite so im gonna keep it for the moment. When i buy other phone im goona make some experiments tnx guys anyway
