[Q] Installing CM9 on X8 (require guide) - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello and sorry if I asked this on the wrong section.I just made this account hours ago.
Anyway...
I have successfully installed MiniCM9 but unfortunately I have "No Service" problem.
I searched through the web and find out that it might be sim lock or something.
I used "msm7227_semc" to unlock my bootloader so that probably the problem.
So I reset my phone with Sony PC Companion.
I want to reinstall CM9 but It might happen again.
So can someone please guide me through the installation and give me link for file I need because I have no idea if I'm using the right file.
Thank you.

I believe it's on the 1st post of the rom and kernel (the steps).
Here's the short version:
1. Go to recovery
2. Full wipe, cache, etc
3. Flash correct kernel
4. Format system cache data
5. Flash rom
Why ics though?

CM bootloops! :(

Each and every cm rom bootloops on my ace...
I have tried a no. of cm roms but no change...they all bootloop...stock roms work flawlessly....
Roms tried...
-cm 9 maclaws rom
-cm 9 s3 evolution
-cm 7 apocalypse
-cm 7 miracle v4
-cm 10 maclaws rom
(all install successfully but they they restart again and again...tried wiping evrything before and after flashing a rom )
I am currently on s'perience rom and has used stocklite v7.1 before it and they both work flawlessly....
Any useful advice is REALLY APPRECIATED!
Thanks in advance!!
Wow, this is weird..
Sorry, i can't help u a lot, but i can provide my step to flash those ROM:
1. Make sure your device is rooted and CWM 5 is installed
2. Place ROM in your SD card
3. Boot to CWM, wipe data, wipe dalvik cache
4. Select install from SD card
6. Then wipe data and wipe dalvik cache once again
7. Reboot your phone
Hope this is useful.

Before you flash the rom.. recovery>mount and storage>format system then flash..(do also the other wipes)
Also format /system, /data and /cache from mounts and storage before flashing the rom.

Are this problem related to Galaxy Ace type?
are u sure you are on S5830? its likely that u are since non-cm roms for s5830 worked on ur phone.
Try this make the 3 wipes before and after flashing the rom, sometimes i face bootloop because of not wiping after installing the rom. If this fails then how abt chnging ur SD card, although thats far fetched it might just fix the problem.
1-Stock based roms work?
2-Did you try doing "mount system" before flashing?
3-Does it say installation successful/finished/etc or are there problems??

Are you saying that you format system, cache and data after flashing??
You just have to wipe dalvik, cache and factory reset after flashing, and even that is also not a compulsary step.
Sent from my GT-S5830
same here. i have never ever wiped anything AFTER flashing.
another idea:
full wipe => flash rom => start => get again to cwm => flash same rom again (no wipe or anything)
dont know if this has eny effect, but i heard sometimes flashing twice fixes some problems. might work for you to

Hi there,
Are you still able to go CWM? if you are still able to, make a Nandroid backup, wipe dalvik cache and cache partition and reboot recovery and system and check if your phone's able to bypass the Samsung log after. Give it a time as well to wait.. perhaps 10 mins or so.
By the way I'm just curious, what did you do to make your phone stuck to it's samsung logo in the first place?
still same prob
Thanks for the quick reply yes im still able to go to cwm 1. wiped dalvik 2. wiped cache partition 3. rebooted recovery and system
still phone's unable to bypass the Samsung logo

Try installing the main rom you had without doing "wipe data/factory reset", but with dalvik cache and cache wipe.
ok, I am not pro enought to figure out what's happening in zip.
Id recommend factory reset on safe kernel, or reflashing rom, then reflash safe kernel.
Considering I have no clue on zip, a clean install might be called for. On safe kernel and safe kernel recovery a format system/data might be needed to fully clean this stuff out. But I am not sure about that.
Why do you need call recording anyway?
edit: all at own risk ofc

Your in the wrong thread.
Use SFT,Clear Data and Cache then goto advanced and clear dalvik. Flash Super User.zip then reboot. If it doesn't work it's time to send it in to the repair shop (after flashing stock ROM ofcourse).
(You have a bit of a lisp there )
Mod can you please move this to the right thread.
I need some more advice.
Is there any other way i can solve this problem?

could it be something to do with my play store?
as after i flash it the version of my play store is version 3.4.
I ever face this problem before.
I remember that time i manage to get it updated to version 3.8 EVERY Thing went fine after that.
But i forgot HOW to get it UPDATE to VERSION 3.8 from version 3.4 (which ALWAYS AUTO-RESTART, whenever i try install anything)
Go to recovery and make a full wipe.
It should be enoguh.

Go in recovery, wipe data and cache, then go to "mounts and storage" and format /preload. If it fail to format it, then unmount /preload and try to format it again and flash cm11.
Did you try this?
Go To Download Mode,
Flash Your Mobile Back To 4.1.2 make sure you repartition )
Root it , & then install CWM,
Format system, cache, data, dalvik
Go to advanced format, & then format everything except SD card & USB Storage.
& then install ROM )
It would defo work, sometimes your data remains in your mobile, which makes error )

Md5 mismatch mean that the file is corrupted. Search on google for " md5 checker" and check the cm12 size and compare it to original md5. Then try to flash it again (repeating the correct flashing procedure, wrote in cm12 thread) , or if you want to go to stock jb 4.1.2 use ODIN program to do that, there are guides in general section of our phone forum, i don't have much time to write it or to search it and share it, but you can find it for sure.

SOS…My device does not use Blisspop Rom.Thanks

Because I am a Chinese boy, so my English is not very good. I hope you can forgive
My device is Google NEXUS6 ,can use the CM12, mokee, chroma,but use Blisspop,My device Infinite loop or crash in the second screen.
Tried many times to recover the official ROM,but still the same.
Very, very fond of blisspop ROM,I hope you can help me,Thank you !
Which gapps are you using? Have you tried flashing just bliss pop, boot into ROM, then go back into recovery and flash gapps?

As mainland China can not use Google, so I did not flash gapps.
My steps are:
1. Restore official factory firmware (5.0 or 5.1)
2. NRT 2.4 Get ROOT
3. Obtain REC
4.flash Blisspop Rom
5.wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache partition
why continue using blisspop ?? just use a different rom.. a lot of roms is out there

Currently only see Blisspop Rom has Floating window function
I'm too used to this feature.

Next time you flash the ROM, wipe dalvik, and cache before you reboot the device into the system and see if that helps
