2. flashing kernel (i tried with alfs and naa
3. getting zipped rom on sd card
4. wipe
5. after turn on iam choosing rom zip to install
6. then sceen autmatic backs to main CWM screen
7. iam reboting phone
8. phone is starting up but not starting.
Phone got breaked bootloader.
Any1 can help me ?
IAmNice
I unlocked bootloader (11W04).U think soft can be bricked ? How can i unbrick soft ?
feherneoh
Like u say i can access to CWM menu (no prob with any kernel), but then i cant install any rom, i try with other sd card maybe its rrly half-dead.
At all i can retrive phone to stock kernel and stock rom.
What's your baseband number?is it xxx015?
Also,you have to full wipe/factory reset at cwm before installing the rom(sometimes after,you can see this at the rom thread)

this aint sd problem i think... repair with SEMC.. and try re rooting the phone and then carry on the install.. if it still gives problem that zip is to blame:good:
@CnC-ROCK the thanks was just to show that what you are doing is right. continue to do this and you'll earn yourself a million thanks, one day.
@OP do you get any status 7 or similar errors? what ROM exactly are you trying to install?
I dot get any errors.
I tried with Blur v5 (based on cm7) and CyanogenMod 7 RC4 V7

yes repair with SEMC.. also called PC companion..
if it says that you already have latest version and does not install OS again then... wipe system and try repair again...
good luck doing it
report if it works

it should install even if not supported for a kernel.. it will not boot or give problems after it.. but it wont stop installation of rc4
anyway.. rc4 supports alfs v9

I dont know really what it can be, but maybe you got wrong xrecovery you should install v.0.1 for x8!?
Try reinstall your stock android from SE do full wipe, clean dalvik cache, than root your phone again, but after rooting your phone restart it and check it. Than start xrecovery do full wipe and clean dalvik cache and try to install ginger again......let us know what you have solved

Are you really giving the phone enough time to boot? The first boot always takes a bit of time..
Also, format your sd card and install gdx only with the zip file in it then try to boot without the sd card.

Hello there
first of all sorry for my english, i am not a native english speaker. Well, I rooted my xperia x8 and installed xrecovery acording to this page, so far so good. Then i downloaded FroyoBread v023 Final, entered xrecovery and installed it. After the instillation was finished i choose to reboot. Now it shows the android logo and it is stuck there for at least 20 minutes. How much time should i wait?
Thanks in advance.

do you know why my mobile phone lcd screen are flashing by itself?
I had flashed the kernel and full wipe...
is it showing the frames updates, perharps? Cause the ROM I am using right now has that option and you can see every time a frame is updated. Try looking in the developer settings.
Simply go back to the stock kernel and ROM, if the screen is still flashing, it's a hardware issue.
Agreed with IHawkeyI

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 just find the baseband file and flash it on flashtool

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.

Redownload the rom
And just to clear this up,you need cwm and not xrecovery.
You said you tried to install gingerdx v30 and you got stuck at Sony logo, are you on stock now?
don't panic..
just wait for a while and see whether the installation completes...
same thing happens while formatting sd-ext partition, the recovery seems like it's stuck but finally it completes after some time..
so just wait for a little while during installation and then report back again..
