Hi all,
First I must point out I'm a bit of a noob at this flashing kernels/roms etc. I want to install Jelly Bean Mini Project | Android 4.1.2 on my xperia x8.
I rooted it ages ago with superoneclick. I got the rom here in the download section of this post and got the kernel here. Not sure how to proceed do i unzip the rom folder called "X8_JBMP-Release4"? I need a tutorial on what programs to use etc. step by step would be handy. I did look did look am continuing to look. Thanks in advance and sorry.
first of all you have installed nAa's jb kernel right?
---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------
if not, download Flashtool from here
then do the following steps
1. go here and find the "Flashing custom kernel" step
2. Flash the kernel, beforehand, be sure to have the proper drivers installed, go to the flashtool directory, drivers, execute the .exe file then choose drivers for x8, fastboot and flashmode
3. You are ready to flash a kernel, just follow the instructions on the thread I pointed out to you
4. No need to unzip the ROM file as it is a flashable zip, after flashing the kernel power up your device and click the back button a couple of times
5. You are now in the CWM recovery, go to mounts and storage and select: format /system, /data, /cache and then back to the CWM main menu, select Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe cache partition, and to the advanced option, wipe dalvik cache
6. Now you have just performed a full wipe, go to install zip from sd card, find the ROM zip file you just downloaded and install it
7. Then install the GAPPS needed to work with JBMP
8. Reboot and Enjoy

titanium backup is good. :thumbup: you can also enter cwm and make a backup there. otherwise, follow mass's instructions. don't forget to format system cache data in cwm after flashing kernel and before flashing rom. have fun with jb. :thumbup:

one more noob question
I was wondering about unlocking this phone from the network it is on. Should I get the code and do it first of will I still be able to do it if I wish after the upgrade. Sorry for the noob questions. Thanks for all the other help I have an idea of what to do now.
Sucess!!
Thanks a million guys got it up and running jellybean. First flash of kernel was just sticking on CWM recovery screen no buttons working. flashed back to a stock 2.1 (rom not my original one) and flashed the new kernel again and all went fine. Thank you so much for all this help and thanks to the folks who worked in the release of jellybean. I just need to figure out how to store apps on sd card. time for research.
Option to move apps to sd card is Greyed out in settings/apps section. Any ideas how i might get my apps to move to sd card?
U can odex to get more space..find it in android development, made by TeamMex..

maybe the ROM is missing the 10apps2sd module in the init.d...
you can download App managers from the play store

Looking around on web it seems apps cant be moved after 4.0. Don't know why google did that it was one of the features I most wanted. I guess I could go to something earlier but I like jelly bean :crying:

try a clean flash. i'm on 4.1 and i cam move apps fine. though i don't use the native app2sd.
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
Will a reflash do it? do I need to flash back to a stock rom first? Or is there something I need to do to let a2sd work like give it a partition somehow?

just format system cache amd data after a full wipe (wipe cache amd dalvik too) and reflash rom.
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
Thanks for the reply. I will try it in a couple of days as I'm busy with work and will post back here with the result.
moving apps
I booted into CWM recovery and used the advanced section to create a 1gb partition left swap size setting at 0 and that fixed the issue. I guess if I wasnt a noob I would have made a partition on the card in the beginning. Apps can now be moved except those that dont allow movement but I am using link2sd for those. Its cool to see jellybean on this phone. I get quite a few hangs/crashes using the browser, bluetooth earpiece connects fine but I cant hear calls on it and the countdown timer is erratic closing by itself quite often. Maybe there are some settings I need to tweak to get the best performance? Thanks again for all the help and replies by the way.
Hallo,
i have a problem with updating cm 10.1 to 10.2 on my i9000. Like i say, i had allready cm 10.1 and prior to that 10.0 and helly bean. Till now everything was fine and every update was OK. I have allready root rights.
Now i tried to flash cm 10.2 like that;
1.
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvic cache
- flash cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd.zip - 2 times
- flash gapps 10.2.x 20130813
- reboot system now
After reboot, i'm in the welcome modus - i choose German - then start - then i can choose the connection WLAN or skip with data. In this part i get allready an error massage "com.google.android.gsf.login" and "unfurnatly google account manager was shut down". After that i'm back again in the choose-connection area. After chosing WLAN or skip and use data, i always get the above mentioned message.
Restore 10.1 again
2.
like above, but extra mounts and storage - format /system
- Result like 1
3.
Just update from 10.1 to 10.2 with CWM, without wipe data/factory reset - wipe cache partition - wipe dalvic cache.
- Result 4.3 is on my mobile, but there ist still the error massage from above.
4.
like 3, but i deleted the Google account in 10.1. Just uodated to 10.2 without wiping.
- Result -> no error massages, but i can't add google account. I clik on add account - google -> but nothing happen.
I don't know what to do. Do somebody have any idea? Where is my oult?

Your foult is that you didn't read pawitp's opening post carefully. All steps untill gapps were fine, then after gapps you should have remained in CWM recovery and go to advanced restore and restore your /data from last nandroid backup from cm10.1, it works perfectly well.
I would advice you not to install 20130824 build anymore as it has some serious bugs (I run it in my i9000 and it works perfectly fine but some people had total re-formatting ofntheninternal SD card and data lost) but wait now for just short, any moment nightly 20130827 will be uploaded. The bugs are fixed there.
Then you can repeat proceeding once again as above and accomplish with /data restore. Then it should work fine again
Ok, i try it
Last question before i try, i have to restore just /data, wich backup do i have to do, full backup or just /data?
Thanx a lot

OK, now the new nightly build is there, CM10.2 20130827
Do all your steps as above (download zip, go to recovery mode, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache under "advanced", install 20130827 zip, stop here) now new:
if your last installed build is 10.2 you have already installed gapps for CM10.2 so you can skip re-installing them again
now go to "advanced restore" and choose your last nandroid backup of the CM10.1, where your google account was still working fine
choose now from your last nandroid file the option: "restore /data"
after restore is finished go back to main menu and reboot the system
Unless if you have formatted your SD card meanwhile, all your data will be back like they were in the CM10.1 (also your google account) and your new CM10.2 will work fine.
For thanking, it is common in this forum to click on "thanks" button left beyond all the posts which you find to be helpful
Hy, i tried what you said. I restored 10.1 before it
*
wipe data / factory reset - wipe cache - advanced .. wipe dalvic cache*- install 10.2
then - flash gapps for 10.2
then - restore just data
reboot system
*
4.3 is on my mobile, google account seems to be OK. But then i recognized, that my Contacts, Keep, Google+ and some other points doesn't synchronize. I've tried flash gapps again, then restore data -> error massage "google account closed"
*
My next step was to do above mentioned again - same error massage
*
So, i do it again. After wipe data / factory reset - wipe cache a.s.o. i had a look in my storage/sdcard0. It was full of old data, so i extra formated /system and formated /storage/sdcard0. After that i flashed 10.2 and gapps again and restored data. I receive the same sh.. error again and google account doesn't work.
*
Now i restored 10.1 again completely
*
Any idea?

Did you enable contacts sync in your accounts? Other thing you can do is to export all your contacts (in "people" ) as vfc data and after the upgrade import it from your SD card. I did that as I don't like google sync functions (for having few accounts) so I only enabled sync for the apps.
Other great thing is to use free app "SMS backup&restore" and "Call logs backup&restore" (by the same developer) from play store. The apps work for any android version and backup data is compatible to restore as well
Try to post in the development thread of nightly cm10.2 for i9000 or read through, I think also somebody else reported problems with google account, maybe it is solved why it happened.
BTW: for next flashing don't use nightly 20130827 anymore as the new 20130828 is out and it has many bug fixes

Hy, i'm again. I try it with the newest cm, with the same result. I flashed exactly like the developer said. No error message, but play store, contacts and some other things don't work.
I would like to post in the development Center, but I am a to young forum member.
Maybe you could post for me my problem or the link to this posts?

Just one question: did you flash the gapps for 4.3 as well? Developer pawitp is a genious person and he doesn't mention it anymore in his first posts (he thinks that everybody knows it.....)
If you didn't, you can do it later as well, just download them and install zip in recovery mode..... Sorry if it doesn't work. Then would be better to wait untilmstable version is released. CM 10.2 works in my i9000 amazing, but another people report bugs.
Of course, i flashed gapps for 4.3. Some user posted in developement thread, that they solved the problem with the google account with Titanium Backup. They restored data with TB. Do you know what i have to backup / restore: user apps & data & system data?
*
Could you*post a question fpr me in the developement thread if this problem is known to the developers and if they have a resolution? Maybe they are allready working on it and solve the problem in next nightlys?

No, mate, if you meant CWM recovery. I would also use Titanium backup app for that, there can't go so wrong.

you have no idea how little free time I have. But you're already on 5 posts, just five more and you will be able to post the questions in development threads. It is anyway better that you describe what the problem is. I think I saw in CM10.2 thread yesterday that the developer pawitp works on that.
EDIT: BTW, restoring /data from nandroid backup made with CM10.1x under CWM recovery -->advanced restore is possible without problems. But I think we have mentioned that already in last posts...
OK, I can understand you.
What do I have to do first: flash gapps or restore /data?
have you checked that dataprotection for these apps is not enabled?

I've posted your question and left link to this thread in the CM10.2 development topic. Hope somebody will answer soon.
If your Google account worked well in CM10.1x, I would say you should try this way:
download the newest CM10.2 nightly zip (20130830) directly here: http://get.cm/get/amd
download Google Apps zip for Android 4.3
run CWM recovery mode
try option "install zip" and don't install yet, just check if your zip files are visible for the CWM recovery in the folder where you saved them
return to main menu and wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache under "advanced"
install zip CM10.2 nightly
install GApps for 4.3
go to "advanced restore" and choose your last nandroid backup file made by CM10.1 build where your Google account worked well
now choose (from that nandroid backup file) the option "restore /data"
after your data are restored, go back to the main menu and reboot the system
Let me know if it worked. Please quote at least little bit of my text (click "reply" beyond my post) so I will get the notification that you've quoted me, otherwise I don't see when you answer
p.s. good point by @Marvi70 just one post before (this one) mine

in settings -> apps, in the app property of those apps check if dataprotection is enabled (no access to private data). When yes disable it.

BTW, after your post about Titanium Backup I've tried indeed to restore data only from my old backup of Angry Birds app, it went perfectly well
Backup file was done with rooted Froyo 2.2 and restored in CyanogenMod 10.2
Before importing the data saved in different ROM, I used the settings exactly like described on the website of Titanium. I've checked again CM development posts about Titanium backup and they talk indeed about the one shouldn't restore whole apps.... but data only seems not to be a problem!
Big thanks, mate!
When we flash ROMs, we wipe data, cache, dalvik and system, and than we install the desired ROM.
But what will happen if I go in Advanced -> File Manager and delete everything ( folders such as system, recovery, sys, tmp, sideload, vendor, usb_otg etc.. ) ?
Will I still be able to enter fastboot and flash MIUI using Mi-Flash?
I am pretty sure that deleting system,recovery,sys,tmp,sideload and others from a file manager(Including TWRP file manager) will not effect the fastboot flashing capability.
Fastboot is a completely different thing then those system,recovery files.

Thank you <3
Hello just a simple question about format data in twrp, i can't find a real answer on google, if i format data to get rid of encryption (not only factory reset) will my os still be there or i'll have to flash a rom to get my device booting as usual?
That means if i format data can i reboot my phone right after normally? I know all my pics apps etc will be lost but os will still be there?
I suggest u upgrade twrp to 3.1.0.1 and you will not have to format data.
if you will saty on your twrp and format data your os will stay there, dont worry....

So no need to format data if i want to install lineage for example? I'm already on latest twrp 3.1.0-1 . I ask this cause last time i tried to install lineage it ended up with a softbrick and had to install a fastboot rom and setting up my phone from scratch.
...also, take a look at the FAQ page of twrp website
here: https://twrp.me/FAQ/
from that list: this entry has the title "What should I wipe in TWRP?"
https://twrp.me/faq/whattowipe.html
advice: first do a backup in twrp; a full one chosing sysimage instead of system ...so if something goes wrong you can go back.
note: in the twrp faq page there is an entry related to the backup procedure.
Good read and tell us about your progress.

Thx for the info i already read this, but i'm french and i couldn't find a real explanation between wipe and format and what was left on the system after each operation , even in french forum it wasn't clear!! Anyway i format data and installed last RR build running good so far!!
How to fix this ....whenever I install any custom (I have tried 5-6) it gets automatically encrypted and there is no option to remove encryption.
Any solution???

Ok
Moderator kindly remove this thread
Format data partition.
Not into twrp and choose" format data " then type yes
You will loss all your data including internal
