LG has chosen to be on the new boot loader with different partitions....thats it (I suppose only that....dont know more as a noob myself)
but moving from old boot loader (GB) to the new boot loader (ICS) back and forth is easy....use the All in One Tool Kit by Spyrosk.....

Just a question on that: Why would you not stay on the new bootloader? To try another ROM for the old bootloader?
Right now I am on new bl and I thought probably future development will be focused on it, so that's why I am staying..
So I guess the advantage is to get most ROMs first and probably more ROMs in future?!

Lately,i see many of noobs install a rom in dev sec b4 read what its requirement & end up with bricking.
My suggest, a filter in download link which is direct to some form to tick correctly a requirement for specific roms.(similar with membership form).This form can be determined by dev of the roms & real download link will be open if they tick a right answer.for exp;
Phone model-x8/w8 tick/untick
Root tick/untick
Recovery System
Xrecovery tick/untick
CWM tick/untick
Baseband
xx06 tick/untick
xx15 tick/untick
Unlocked bootloader
Yes tick/untick
No tick/untick
Kernel
Stock tick/untick
Costum(can edit by dev)tick/untick
I know this will be annoying for some of us but prevent is better than cure
Hope colossus will see this & consider it.

Looks like Just SoftBrick dude [hardbrick means when your phone cannot be powered on]
You Relock Bootloader? Unlock it again
Flash ICS nAa Kernel, Flash MiniCM9 as simple is that
Or Using Pcc/SEUS, Flash All again to Stock Rom/Kernel.
Then, Using s1tool, check wheter you phone Already Unlock bootloader or Not.
If Not, Unlock Bootloader First,
If Yes, Flash kernel, Then Rom
Dont Forget to FULL WIPE
Just My opinion

Why you did not try Prime HD 10 Rom based od CM 7.2..Its very clean rom , without any unnused apps etc..
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480404&highlight=prime+hd
P.S: I think that, you must unlock bootloader for that Rom, because reqiured Unlocked Bootloaded, with Custom kernel like nAn, or alfs..

Can someone rename the topic name as "Some questions about the Xperia X8 modding"? (if it is possible)
Thank you another time.
So, it's the first time that I try to do modding on an Android smartphone and I have mainly two question. One of my friends gives me as a gift this telephone with a GingerDX v022 and now that it is mine, I want to flash a more updated ROM.
Here are the my doubts:
1) A lot of ROMs requires a latest firmware with a Baseband (i think) to flash the ROM itself.
For example, and just for example, the MiniCM9 requires the
Latest 2.1.1.A.0.6/2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware / Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What is this?
2) How can I see if my bootloader is unlocked? If my device has already a GingerDX v022, should the bootloader be already unlocked?
Thank you. :fingers-crossed:

Yes looks tasty but no radio yet! We atleast need calls and data. But thats great work so far.
See no real reason not to have a fully working custom rom, as unlocked boot loader is not a must!
Several other devices have locked boot loader and have great working custom roms. : O)

as far as i have seen o4x has a pretty good and stable kernel so u dont need one unless u want to oc
and that could be achieved with modules as well if module loading is suported by the kernel...
I wan't everything what is possibile. What about some missing functionality let's say iptables? Some day LG will end support of the phone, what then?

can we make a virtual partition in the main ROM so that we can boot into another ROM when we enter into recovery

If you want to dual boot you need Safestrap 3 and both ROMs must use the same kernel, such as Batakang and stock. You cannot dual boot with CWM.
99% of ROMs that can be dual booted are now dead for the most part. None of the new ROMs like Carbon, PAC, Probam, CM, and whatever other complete ROMs we have can be dual booted, which is what skeevy was saying.

Hello,
I searched all over the forum , but I found nothing
I have my Atrix HD for 2 days now, it was on ICS but I upgraded to JB,
I don't like the slow waking up of JB when you press the power botton.
So I decided to downgrade to ICS,
My question is : Is it possible to do that using RSD without unlocking the boot loader ?
Thanks
Someone help me guys ,
Quick answer is no.
Sent from my MB886 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No. The ics libs and drivers aren't fully compatible with the jb kernel.
Ok thanks guys
I'll add that I'm currently unlocked and running Bell ICS. If you can unlock it's worth doing. Stock ICS is leagues ahead of our Stock JB. To me, JB was a downgrade disguised as an update.

That's easily changed. Just gotta flash a different boot logo. The exploit flashes a new logo if its successful. Kind of a confirmation before you even boot.
