[Q] Bootloop on gingerbread kernels - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i have the following problem. Two days ago i installed the jb naa kernel and litecm rom, then changed into slimbean. Before that i used alfs 8.0a and the latest gingerdx version. When i flashed back to alfs 8.0a, i was stuck in a bootloop right after the alfs logo. Same with alfs 9.0 and the gingerbread naa kernel. I just flashed to jb naa, and there is no problem i can properly boot to slimbean, so it seems like a gingerbread kernel fault. How do i revert back to alfs now?

nAa jb has other partittions. If you want to flash gb kernel go to cwm, format system, data, cache and then flash gb kernel. If still doesn't work flash stock 2.1 through flashtool and then gb kernel.

Thanks a lot mate! I formatted system, data, cache and flashed alfs and it worked! Thanks again!
But one question: does this happen with all jb kernels? cause i have used one more (can't remember which) and never had this problem.

I think all, I haven't seen jb kernel with old partitions.

is this normal?

When I change my stock rom 2.1 to gingerdx v19 I use CWM to do this. To start out with I have version 4.0.1.5 of CWM but after installing gdx it gives me version 3.2. So GDX override my original CWM version. Is this normal? Can I prevent this kind of downgrade? SO where is my newer version - does it get wiped over?
It usually happens. Since Ginger dx has a preinstalled cwm. Gdx must have lower version
.IV got cwm that is your CURRENT version (3.). Hope you understand more bout it now. (We were all noobs at one stage )

hey i have the same problem....i used naA kemel which quotes it has cwm 5.x.x but when i installeed gdx v20 it opens up with cwm 3.2.x
i am all ears as to how we can correct this situation
I hate to have my CWM downgraded for no good reason
First install gingerDX then flash the alfs kernel v05 it over rides the stock kernel with a new one and it is including CWM 5.x.x
Hope i helped

so what you are saying is install the one with latest CWM last so it will override the previous, which brings to yet another question - is it OK to flash the rom first before the kernel? So you are suggestion this sequence:
flash stock rom-> unlock bootloader -> flash gingerdx -> flash custom kernel
Precisely like that

[Q] Unable to flash GingerDx V023

I previously had GingerDx V022 and it was working perfect.
Today I tried to Flash GingerDx V023 Using Xrecovery V0.1
I even initiated a full wipe and also wiped dalvik cache etc etc
But every time I flash , I get stuck at the SE Logo , unable to go back to xrecovery. Then I have to use PCC And re-root all over again.
I tried to find CWM V014 , although Xrecovery always worked for GingerDx (all previous versions)
But couldn't find it.
I havent even customized GingerDx V023. Just tried to directly flash it after downloading.
Doesnt work
What is going wrong ?
Help Please I really want to upgrade to this ROM
Xperia X8 E15i
GingerDx V022
Stock Kernel
it's same problems with me. Just waiting for helping by another peoples
Use ClockworkMod - it's absolutely necessary. You could use toolbox http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100 to obtain double recovery. Then just tap the screen (dual recovery) or buck button to access CWM.

Bootlooping after kernel change

I was on semaphore ICS 0.9.1 and I updated to 0.9.7 kernel (I am with Team ICSSGS RC4.2 ROM) and now it just bootloops and I can't get to CWM, what to do?
Is there no another ICS kernel I can flash via odin in order to get into CWM and then reflash semaphore? Please?
I really need help ASAP and I dont want to lose the data on the phone
I flashed this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24094818&postcount=2 and then went to CWM to reflash semaphore 0.9.7 and I am now stuck on Samsung Galaxy S logo...help!
What happens if i reflash the same rom over my current?
wipe dalvik cache before flash a new kernel

Unable to change ROM

Hi,
I am using the stock gingerbread rom from CSL running the utterchaos kernel by doomlord & Napster.
I tried changing rom's to CM7 found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333503
I did everything as described, wiped data/factory reset and then flashed the rom.
It said success but when I rebooted phone it shows
"booting UtterChaos Kernel by Doomlord & Napster" screen and nothing happens further. The screen goes dark and again the same boot screen shows.
I guess its going into bootloop.
How do I fix this?????
Thanks
U should root ur device...flash clockwork mod and then flash rom

How do you think I flashed the rom in the first place?
Device rooted, latest version of CWM.

hi
use SUTL and flash stock rom then get the CWM and install the CM7 via CWM it should work
this CM7 is on .35 based kernel and utterchaos kernel is .32 , that is creating the problem .....
So, if you want to try this rom, first install TJ's RC3 rom than install this rom .....
if u dontt want to try this now (as u have bricked ur phone once ) ....
just install stock GB rom via SUT ....

dude since edowar's latest cm7 is Based on a new kernel 2.6.35.7, u have to flash stock sharp rom through SUT. then use tj's cwm recovery for latest kernal and flash cm7 27-3-2012
else you can flash UPDATE ROM 31-12 directly it is also good rom
So basically I have to flash 2 roms!
Can't I just flash a .35 kernel instead of the .32 one and then flash the CM7 rom?

No u cant. But if you're from stock GB you could flash older CM7 based on the. 32 kernel instead

Need double confimation before flashing

Hi,
Currently I am still on GB CheckROM v5 with franco kernel 6.Never flashed any ICS ROMs before.Now I would like to finally upgrade
So before flashing ICS ROM,i would like to double comfirm the steps which i have read
1.)Boot into recovery and install GB abyss kernel 4.2
2.)Reboot recovery to abyss kernel(Can i restart phone?)
3.)Wipe data / cache / dalvik
4.)Flash ICS ROM
5.)Reboot phone
Side Qn,I have GB apps that is not updated to ICS compatibility, if i try to restore them,will it cause conflict?
Thanks!
If you're on a rooted GB, you don't need the Abyss step.
Also, when you move to ICS, using NoteCore, SpeedMod, any CM9/10 kernel are 100% safe to flash from.
ROM recommendations, CleaNote, KingDroid 7.1 and Asylum 20 (CM9-based) are my favorite.
Have a look to 'ROM Switching' on my signature.
Hi dr.ketan
I have read yr ROM switching guide.Great guide btw
I would like to clarify that the steps are for stock ICS ROMs?
cause I would like to flash from checkrom GB straight to criskelo's ICS V11.2(Post #2 says flash abyss then to criskelo ROM).I do not have to flash stock ICS ROM first correct?
Thanks!
