GingerDX v030 stuck at splash screen - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I searched a lot in all threads to find a similar question or just an answer to my problem.
To start I have to tell you that I already had the v029 installed with the stock kernel and everything was fine.
Then I wanted to check some other roms and if they fit me better. So i got it from the begining. Wiped everything and installed the stock eclair with PCC. Unlocked the bootloader through a very usefull guide found here and flashed the latest nAa kernel. Then I downloaded the MiniCM9 3.0.5 Rom and installed it succesfully.
Everything is working fine but I wanted to go back to GingerDX. So I did a factory reset/wiped everything downloaded the rom for the nAa kernel and installed it. It said that it was successfuly installed. But when I try to boot my phone It stucks on the GingerDX splash screen with the animation and doing nothing. No keys working. I removed the battery to shut down, install the CM9 rom again and everything's fine.
Can you please tell what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Wipe cache & dalvik cache while before installing

I did and it's stuck again. I waited for 10 minutes before I closed it.

Does the kernel for CM9 supports gb?

Wipe cache
dalvik cache
and fix permision

I have the 2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-04 kernel
I guess its not for gb. I'll download this one and check again http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350484

Any luck? I just installed the kernel on the link you posted and have the exact same problem. The boot screen stays on the splash animation. It's been there for more than 15 minutes and the animation itself is slow as hell.

Hi there..
When we switch between GB and JB kernels we must format /system /data and /cache when we flash the new kernel.

Yes, I flashed the kernel in the link and then the gingerdx rom. I did the wipe in data/cache/dalvik cache and everything else that is needed.
The only thing that occured was a problem in the format during the installation. I formated it manually before the install and it was ok.

Full wipe before installing.

Yes..
there must be a problem with wiping...
You might have forgot to full wipe..

Thank you everybody, I finally managed to get GingerDX running. Wiping everything actually worked.
Still took ages to boot but it is finally on!

Maybe u need naa ics kernel.

[Q]flashing kernel while using custom rom

i have unlocked Bootloaderand i wanna flash nAa kernel while using custom rom.will that work? or flash back to stock kernel first?
need answer as fast as possible
sorry for my bad english
Yeah it will work if the rom supports that kernel.Just wipe the dalvik cache before flashing
Sent from my Worlds using xda premium
Just transfer the nAa ROM into your SD card, flash the nAa kernel and when your phone boots up, open CWM and install the ROM.
i see now... if stuck on SE logo then i'll have to rein stall the rom again?
If You flash nAa kernel there won't be SE logo. It will be nAa logo And don't worry about stuck - there's a built-in recovery in nAa kernel, so even if You forgot to copy compatible ROM to SD card there's always an option to enable USB storage via CWM recovery. But make sure You have backup Your contacts / apps / messages etc before do anything.
oh....i never flashed kernel before...
after i unlocked bootloader then my phone hard bricked and sent to repair for 1 month+
after i get it back i checked whether the bootloader unlocked or not it surprisingly unlocked @@ and i was like
So now go ahead and install kernel and then ROM following the instructions and good luck.

Try to install again the V20s patched via Smart Flash and after flash when the phone goes to CWM, wipe data/cache/dalwik cache. You should be ok.
All that things did 2-3 times....
Again bootlooping..
Months back I installed this same procedure that time worked successfully...
Now not working..I really don't understand what to do..

[Q] Stuck at kernel logo. Nothing is working.

Good afternoon,
I'm sorry i'm creating a new thread about an old subject, but i just can't get my X8 to work with custom kernel+rom. I've searched the forum for the same issue but none of the solutions described worked. Until this moment i had to use PCC to flash my smartphone back to normal about 10 times and it's starting to get very annoying. I've followed the devs instructions on all procedures thoroughly, rooting, bootlader unlock, flashing kernel and installing ROM, and it always gets stuck on the kernel logo wether is it before or after flashing the rom (unless i press the back button). To this moment, i've tried nAa-14 and alfs v09 kernel, GingerDX and Zaraki roms, followed guides step by step. I'm a newbie in the smartphones area but not when it comes to computers. Throughout my 'voyage' i had a number of bumps i had to overcome, like having the installation aborted (bad) error when trying to install a rom, which i solved by downloading the zip directly to the SDcard like described here in the forums. GGdrivers are installed, and so are the SE USB drivers, phone is recognized by PCC with no problems.
I honestly have no idea what might be wrong, and as i said, i've done a search before creating a new thread but nothing helped, or maybe i'm just missing a tiny detail. I would really like the help since this is my first smartphone and i would like to play with my new toy!
Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience.
EDIT: I forgot something. In the kernel installation guide is requested that after flashing it, to check in the phone settings if everything is ok. I can't even boot the phone after flashing the kernel (gets stuck on kernel logo) which means my problem is related to something previous to it? Maybe bootlock? I'm pretty sure i'm doing what's required.
Appreciate the fast answer.
I get stuck on the logo wether is it before or after flashing the rom. The only way i don't get stuck is to press the back button to boot into cwm.
Yes i've tried to wipe after and before, and it didn't work. And these were the only roms and kernels i've tried.
There's no problem with hardbricking my device by the way, 11w03.
I'll have to get out for a while, but i will come back later to check all the answers, this is a priority for me at the moment

Don't full wipe two times,either before or after,you can see this at the rom thread.
One basic detail that many forget is that you must have baseband that lasts to 15,so it would be like this xxx015

I didnt full wipe when trying gingerdx, as you said its not requested, only wiped with zaraki. I can confirm my baseband is xxxx015.

You have to full wipe,don't full wipe two times,gingerdx needs full wipe before installing the rom....
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
I tried again using the correct wiping method for gingerdx and it still freezes on kernel logo. the weird thing is that it freezes the first time it boots after flashing the kernel, meaning it has nothing to do with the rom, right? and maybe even not related to the kernel itself. i'm completely clueless about this, i wish i had a friend who could do it for me, because i can't detect anything done wrong.
What version of cwm are you using?
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
i'm not quite sure what's the version of cwm since it installs itself along with nAa-14 kernel, but i think it was v5.0.2.8

please don't destroy my hopes of having a working custom rom on my phone jokes aside, i get your point, but doesn't it seem not logical that i'm the only one who can't get it to work? it's weird enough i can't boot my phone after flashing the kernel....
i could post a video, sure, but it's pretty straightforward. after i flash the kernel, unplug the phone from PC and boot it up, IF i don't boot into cwm, it will freeze on the kernel logo, making it impossible to even check the phone settings as requested in gingerdx thread. AFTER i install the rom and reboot the phone, it will still show the kernel logo and freeze again (if i understand correctly this is not supposed to happen, what's supposed to show on the screen after the rom is installed are the normal SE logos.)
So, summing up. Flash kernel, turn phone on, freezes on kernel logo if i don't use back button to go into cwm. If i enter cwm, install rom from sdcard, reboot, it shows the kernel logo and freezes if i don't use back button again.
Don't know if it helps but the only way to turn the phone off when it freezes is removing the battery. Sometimes after placing the battery again it will automatically turn on.
Dunno what's wrong,why don't you try with stock kernel and gdx,or why don't you try different rom(yea neither gdx nor gzr)
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
you mean formatting partitions after flashing the kernel or before? i assume there's an option for it under cwm?

sure i can try other roms, but the fact that it freezes before installing the rom seems to point towards another problem?
the phone was bought in 2nd hand by the way, maybe there's something that could have happen before it got to me?
You have to format the partitions after flashing the kernel. In CWM recovery, go to 'mounts and storage' and format all the partitions except /sdcard.

Try to format all of the partitions (yes, ALL of them), then install ROM again.
After installation turn off the phone, take out the card, then turn phone on.
I hope it will work.

Just did it and the same thing happened. Flashed nAa-14, booted into cwm, full wipe, full cache wipe, wiped all the partitions but sdcard, installed rom, rebooted and it froze on the logo. Tried again with removing the sdcard and turning the phone on, froze on logo. Flashing it back to stock using PCC atm
By the way, it didn't let me format sd/ext.
Have you tryed with older version of naa? Naa 14 is buggy, naa 11 is the best

Try some other roms like minicm7. Do it in this order
Flash the kernel
Boot to cwm
Format system,data,cache
Fullwipe/Factory reset
Install Rom
Reboot
....wait .....
I do this every time i install a new rom..
Make sure The rom you have downloaded belongs to x8..

I will do that right away. I will also download a few others roms (and respective kernels) and try them all out. Only one thing, I was going to download MiniCM10 and i saw this in its post: "MiniCM10 is an unofficial port of CyanogenMod 10 for the SEMC msm7x27 devices." What does it mean 'for the SEMC msm7x27 devices'? Is it related to bootload unlock? Because i get Setool2 Certificate instead of SEMC. Does this make my problem a little easier?
EDIT: Ok, i've just tried ICZaraki+nAa-04-ics, minicm10+nAa-jb, gingerdx/gingerzaraki+nAa 11, and guess what, none worked.... We have to start thinking this is not related with the kernel or rom maybe? Any suggestions? When i tried the nAa-11 kernel, when i booted up the phone a white led popped up instead of a green one. I'm not worried if this takes a whole month to fix, i'm up for any suggestions and ideas of any kind, just throw them at me.

Yep, happens with all the kernels i've used, nAa-11/14, nAa JB, ICS, etc....
Googled logcat, i understand its use, but how do you want me to use it?
Yes, bootload is unlocked, i have the "r". Or is there any chance that even with the "r" it's still locked? Anyway, i followed the guides with no problem.

[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

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.)

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.

Wipe cache partition, and dalvik cache.
After this flash the rom. :thumbup:

That should be enough.
Oh and make sure the ROM installs properly i.e. it's not a bad download.

Having the same issue but it's bootlooping at nAa kernel logo, please help, i followed the instructions correctly, tried the solutions you posted, but still no luck...
It shouldn't bootloop at the kernel logo. If the ROM isn't installed properly, it should boot into CWM. Try reflashing kernel and ROM.

are you using the correct kernel? it shouldn't bootloop. like sgt.meow said it should go to cwm if anything's wrong.
Seems like my phone doesn't accept any custom ROM, i tried flashing GingerCMX with Alps (wiped everything before doing that), tried reflashing kernel, roms, several times and its just not working, my xperia x8 is xxx29 (the sticker under the battery), rooted, unlocked BL and no luck... :'(

i've used alfs for a couple of roms without that patch. no bootloops or any major bug.
@Titan9119
That libsensor patch is something required at ROM level i.e. after the device has booted up. And even without it, the device would be functional like @cascabel said.
I have the same problem.
I have kernel 2.0.32.61-nAa-06. I cleared the caches as required, flashed the kernel through flashtool and then flashed [ROM] | LiteCM10 | v1.0 | 09/07/2013 | JB 4.1.2 | nAa-06-kernel.
After flashing, I did a system reboot. The phone starts with the nAa kernel logo and then blacks out only to restart on the same. I've left it for a while and it keeps up the exercise. I can initiate the recovery with the back button. But nothing I've done has made a difference. Including repeated flashing.
There were no errors during the installations.
If anyone can help, I'd be most grateful.

Already did that multiple times through the recovery mode. Wipes were completed without errors. The only thing I've not wiped is the SD Card.

did you format the partitions i mentioned as well? if you did, try reflashing the kernel and rom after redownloading. might be a bad flash even if it looks like nothing went wrong.
No luck
You should go to minicm10 FAQ and look under 19 part.

I did the formats as well as the wipes. Downloaded the ROM and the kernel again and re-flashed. Now its getting stuck on the kernel after a vibration. Sometimes the mauve coloured light comes on and stays, at other reboots it turns off.. Can't get it into the recovery anymore

I did read this, and a lot of other posts, before posting. Unfortunately, I don't understand what he is asking me to do there. Which file/filename is being edited?
