Flash GingerDX from xrecovery. It has CWM recovery and deletes xrecovery automatically

search the android development forum and youll see a post by nobodyAtall which explains everything
You first have to understand amend and edify scripts
amend-xrecovery and cwm below v3
edify-cwm v3++
so you are on amend script
download amend script file from nAa forum
here's the link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105745

The next time you suggest something like that you may want to add that:
ONLY GINGERDX v013 OR OLDER CAN
BE FLASHED WITH XRECOVERY!
I swear I refer all soft-bricks caused by xRecovery installations to you guys so you can talk the people through the whole Flashtool Tango.
If you can't read and therefore fail to comprehend that the OP Post read "CLOCKWORKMOD (V014+)" better don't even reply.

well, already solved

stuck on Splash screen!

Hello, im helping a friend root he's phone.
He is stuck at the "Sony Ericson screen"
This is what we have done so far:
- install superuser/bussybox
- Custom recovery (CWM)
He then went into CWM and clicked:
- backup nandroid
- delete dalvik cache
- reset factory
- install zip from sdcard: Presto ... install it...... . .. . .
- Restart phone.
it gave me an error "bad restore can't restart" then It automaticly jumped to another submenu "no" "-yes -- restore CWN" underneath a warning: may not able to access the restore" I clicked yes and it restarted but never got further then booting

have u tried to use SEUS?

we fixed it.
I dont have this phone, so I didnt know you needed to have custom kernel and unlocked baseband.
How can I get the:
1. Latest baseband
2. Unlocked bootloader

to unlock the bootloader you have to check This
for latest baseband update the phone with Update Service

Thank you.
Where can I find this kernels
nAa AND ALFS KERNEL ?
or do they come with the ROM and automatically flash?

you can find in one of the Development Thread, you have to flash it first with flashtool then you can flash the ROM via CWM..

U means u didn't install X recovery.... If u install cwm its possible u having this problem... Cwm only work on stock rom.... Use flash tool and repair.. Install X recovery....i installed it too.. I got the same before, though it was on that Site.. This will work on stock rom

What am i gonna do now with my phone?

Hello guys!
I recently tried to update my rom to my xperia x8 and i chose ICS minicm9 - shakira 3-0-4 for xperia x8. I unlocked my bootloader succesful and i installed the nAa kernel version 2.6.29.6 to my phone (i forgot to say i ve already rooted it and did a backup file with xrecovery).
Anyways the phone stuck at the sony ericsson screen after the kernel screen and never opened... I opened CWM , made a backup , wiped the data and tried to install the ICS but every time i tried (3-4 times) i got an error : "Can't open /sdcard/MiniCM9-3.0.4-shakira.zip (bad) Installation aborted". I tried to do my xrecovery backup but CWM couldn't find any backup files! I tried to connect phone with PC companion in flash mode but it recognises it as an xperia x10 and i can't do anything with it!!! I tried everything pls help me!!!:crying:

first of all.... cwm will never find the backup made by xrecovery because they are in different folders... for cwm to find them take the backup folder from xrecovery folder to the clockworkmod folder...
and then
reflash the kernel and try installation again to remove that stuck at SE logo problem.....
you need to install """"nAa ICS"""" kernel for miniCM9.... i think you installed nAa GB kernel and that is what creating problems..
try installing rom after that if it shows error there is some problem with the zip file i suppose... tell me if it gives error after this and see if it gives status 6 or status 7 error..
anyway you will have to redownload the zip..something might have went wrong during download.
and the flashtool recognizes it as x10 because you set it that way...reinstall it...
when it asks you do you want to "permanenty identify device?" i think you selected x10... next time it asks you select X8

Here's my opinion. I'm not sure how but if what you say is true, that you're running nAa ics kernel, it shouldn't be stuck at the SE logo. 2nd, if you're on a custom kernel, you won't have xrecovery. Third, our phones, after flashing kernels are recognized as X10's, not X8's.

@CnC-ROCK xrecovery backups can't be restored that way. i tried and failed
@OP if you've successfully installed nAa-ICS then you should not see the SE logo. try reflashing and wiping cache partition.

Well nothing worked! I have the proper kernel for my device and everything but i can't install the ICS and i did what you said me about the restore but it told me something about MD5 (doesn't match i think or something)

Reflash stock kernel.Then flash the ROM again. And finally flash your kernel back.
Please Press The Thanks Button
It's my matter how I send this.

Please stop telling me to reflash again! I told you i did it many times and nothing worked! Please tell me how i can change to the basic kernel and then i ll do the process again from the begin , as nothing works! Thank you!

Download flashtool and stock firmware then flash firmware through flashtool

He actually said don't tell him to reflash custom kernel. And to be honest if he's seeing anything with Sony on boot then he definitely isn't flashing right.
OP how exactly did you flash the ICS kernel?

download the file again, sometimes it happens when the file is not properly downloaded.

@op try to restore with pccompanion.
If you can't do this,you have to flash (stock kernel and stock rom)

I connext my phone to the pc with the usb then i open flashtool and select xperia x8. Then i click the flash icon(1st icon) and click flashmode i select the kernel i want and then i click "ok" i wait til it says me it's done and i unplug the usb and reboot my phone.

Sorry for reposting but it has been quite a lot of time i ve posted and none respond! So! I flashed the stock kernel and backuped (the person who told me to do it took a "thank you") and now i want to redo the process... What do you suggest me so that i won't stuck again on this step??

follow instructions!!? (I guess..)

Guys i tried again today and now i get another error!
CWM says :

[Q] GingerDX v030 to v31b bricked my X8 - help?

I've searched through XDA (manually and with search function) but can't find the answer I need, so am trying here hoping someone will help.
I was running GingerDX v29 on my X8, happily, when I was notified of an update to v030. I left it a few days and then got the notification of an update to v031b. There was two options on the screen: Download GingerDX v031b, or download GingerDX stock. I figured since I'm already using GingerDX I should be able to just download the new version rather than the stock.
So I downloaded it to my SD card, rebooted to CWM and choose to install the download. All seemed to go through fine, I got a success message, and was invite to reboot. I rebooted, and I'm now stuck with "Sony Ericsson" across my screen and nothing else. No access to CWM etc.
I guess I have two questions:
1) Can I get back to v29 or finish off the update to v031b, without having to erase everything and redo whatever it was I had to do to get v29 on there in the first place (v29 was the first ROM I installed on my handset)?
2) What should I have done when presented with the options for upgrading? (I'd kinda like to acoid the same mistake in future.)
All help gratefully received, and I'll be liberal with the Thanks button
TIA

in CWM wipe cache and dalvk cache
if phone doesnt boot flash v29 back and create backup
than flash 31b,wipe data/cache and advance restore data from backup created earlier...wipe cache again
good luck
and post questions in Q/A section

Yeah, I think it's stock (I soft-bricked the handset once before, and followed instructions elsewhere on XDA to unbrick it - I think those instructions used a stock kernal)

you should have downloaded gingerdx for stock since you are on stock kernel. i guess gingerdx stock means the one for stock kernel

I think I did (as part of the v029 install (or maybe it was the v030 install - I can't even remember which one of those I was on)), but I can't say for sure. I definitely didn't when I tried to update to v031b. I just ran the .zip and when I got the confirmation of success I rebooted. Haven't got passed the Sony Ericsson logo since.

What would I need to have been running in order to have used the GingerDX v31b? (Sorry - I'm still learning about stock, kernels, ROMs, Alfs, nAa etc, so don't yet understand what they all mean / do / are used for.)
Is there any way I can recover my phone without having to reinstall all my apps etc?

you have unlocked bootloader? if so then flash custom kernel and it will boot fine.
you can use adb to backup your apps or flash back the previous version and backup them.

you might have downloaded the rom that was not for stock kernel.
your phone is soft bricked, can be repaired using sony pc companion.
Look for a thread to repair a soft bricked phone.

its so easy..
i am stuck for 2 day. i do for many way for disolve my problem. stuck in logo sony, because i wipe, and i dont install new/custom kernel.
i want install jelly bean

for last step, i download latest "pc companion"
and i follow step by step.
fail and try. error and try.
failed connect and i try..
(i forget my capacity baterries is low)
and bla bla bla....... pc companion can fix this problem
with factory kernel
and factory os: "ENCLAIR" KKKKKKKK
