Thanku so much 4 replying ! I am new to the xperia x8 community (was using optimus one) b4 & had a hard time figuring out the basics. I will be installing gingerdx next !

Unlock bootloader, flash one of kernels, boot phone, enter CWM and install GDX

you guys have gave him requirements for cwm but you never answered his question:
you can flash v013 or below with xrecovery but v014 or higher you need cwm.thats why i have gdx v013; i can flash v014 or higher since i have cwm but i like the version i got + i cant be bothered to rewrite all of my contacts

Oh damn. when I first flashed GingerDX, I used xRecovery for it to install v018, and EVERYTHING worked fine! Camera, 3G , Bluetooth, wifi. , Not a problem!
But maybe that was a once off.
I then installed v019 with CWM

Step to upgrade x8 to GingerDX v025 + ALF kernel

Hi guys, can you show your step to upgrade x8?
Because I don't know whether my step is correct or not.
Thanks guys!
My step as following...
1.Root
2.install busybox
3.install xrecovery
4.unlock bootloader
-check with s1tools
-run msm7227_semc.cmd with debugging
5.flash kernel with flash tools
6.flash GingerDX v013
7.flash GingerDX v025
any miss step?

Dude i think superoneclick will install busy box by itself and if you unlock your bootloader after root and flash new kernel then you don't need to install x recovery just flash the rom.
Press thanks if i helped

Look...
I DO NOT troll people with talk of MiniCM9.
Especially not a beginner.
I do use MiniCM9 as my primary rom, but choices are choices and if one wants help on how to peel apples, don't give help on how to peel oranges.

First of all, go to Settings > info and check if your baseband ends with 015. If not, update with PC Companion.

It's a adb type software which you have to install on your computer.
Using this you can root , flash CWM/xRecovery etc on your X8 just by connecting it with your PC.
Follow this link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100

Why install ver 13 and 25? Just install ver 26 and alfs GDX kernel and ur good to go

Do you read any post before you post?....facepalm
I don't think he has any problem now, as long as he didn't tell us anything more.....

EDIT: Found an answer elsewhere. Sorry again.
New guy here
Sorry for reviving this but would I be ok if I upgraded from v19 to v026 without any further steps. Or would a clean install be better?

[Q] Request

can anyone give me the files to install clockworkmod to install GDX v25

Use x8 toolbox. Here u go:

you'll have to delete GOV/IO file from /system/etc/init.d before you can update kernel on Acecream. In the Final Acecream v1.4, the latest kernel is announced to be included, but currently it is not.

i hv deleted the GOV/IO frm init.d .....oldr kernels works but da new kernel nt workin....
