Hi!
First post, but I've got a few things nailed down right through searching the forums and various guides and wiki's.
I've managed to install Google ION with firmware v1.5
I've SIM-unlocked the phone, using another carrier works splendid.
The Kernel version i'm using is 2.6.25.00894-g83efb08-dirty
[email protected]
My build number is CRB43
What I'm trying to accomplish here is getting root on the filesystem. I've tried various methods, guides and forum conversation tips but I can't make /system anything else than ro (Read-only).
I have installed Better Terminal from Market.
su and telnetd works perfect, I can connect to the phone using telnet. I'm using telnet to connect to the device, by forwarding ports through ADB.
I have tried using ADB shell to get root as well as telnet.
What I am trying to do is replace my current keymapping from an English one to an edited, åäö-capable one, because it's damn tricky trying to type these characters on the hardware keyboard. I haven't even found a way of typing åäö without replacing the keymap because of very little information about how the keyboard _is_ mapped using Android on the Kaiser.
Please advice wither on how to be able to type åäö characters without having to modify the keymap or give me a heads-up on how I'm supposed to get root on this filesystem, using commands such as;
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
does not give me an error but nothing else is returned either so I can't verify that the command actually executed or did anything to the system. I can however verify that the /system is still ro and still as a cramfs type no matter how I attack this.
Here's my situation on my mounts;
Code:

Hi ppl!
Explaining the situation:
- Stock ROM (Orange ES)
- Apply OCLF V2+
- Tired of 2.1, I move to froyo (without remove the lagfix) with this steps:
* Flash with ODIN I9000XWJM8 with re-partition
* Flash with ODIN I9000XWJPA without re-partition
After that, I decided to install Voodoo.
Well, after 2 days of heavy use... the phone is very lagged... and transactions are slow
I have just disabled voodoo (creating "disable_lagfix" in voodoo folder), and I was considering to try I9000XXJPO. But I just remember that I have not disabled OCLF when I installed Froyo, and everything I read about doing this is very bad... Maybe that is causing problems? I have reinstalled the app, and it says OCLFV2 is not installed. But maybe the froyo installation overwrite files and the apk cannot detect anything...
Could anyone clarify me about this?
This is the "mount" output:

Guys, i need help here..
My 8GB SD card is not working right after i install GingerDX V010
anyone can help?
i really can't live with a phone with no SD card..
Well what's the problem?, be more precise.
Sent from my X8 using XDA Premium App
it said that there is no SD card inserted in the phone even though the SD card is really in the phone..
everything in my SD can't be used including the backups..
Do you have any ext partition?

I have the same problem!!! I have Xperia X8 with gingerdx v011... My sd card has three partitions... 1. primary fat32 6.88 GB 2. Primary EXT2 512MB 3.Linux SWAP 50MB... What did I do wrong???? Please Help!!!!!
i'm sorry, i'm a noob..
i don't really know what are ext partition..

Sorry for the noob question but what particularly is the advantage of this partitions? I'm just a little curious.
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
Well it's a little bit faster i think,but delete swap partition,only fat32 and ext partitition remain,or u cand use only fat32.I had almost the same problem,so it did the trick.
Edit:try to delete ext2 and make ext3
Edit2: doka,have u formatted ur card?ext partitions it's for an app called app2sd so u can store app on the ext partition,but u don't really need an ext partition.

I've formatted the SD card but still the result is the same..
when i go to Music, it says "Your phone does not have an SD card inserted."
What are the partitions of your card?
Sent from my E15i using XDA Premium App
The advantage of partitions:
Creating an ext partition on the sd card can, depending on the sd card, speed up apps and also frees up space in the /data partition. Instead of moving only some of the apps into the sd card, most custom roms have a script that moves all the apps on the /data partition and the dalvik-cache to the ext partition on the sd card. This means that the /data partition will never run out of space unless if the ext partition is filled up or something bad happened.
The fastest partition is ext2, but it is unsafe particularly during unclean shutdowns as it doesn't incorporate journaling and the entire partition might become corrupted. Ext3 is a middleground between ext2 and ext4. ext3 incorporates journaling and some other added features which makes it safer, but writing to it is slower than writing to ext2. ext4 incorporates the most features but it is still slower than ext2. Thus, users with ext3 partitions might choose to upgrade to ext4 if they wish. The benefits of partitioning is usually only evident with sd cards of class 4 and above.
NOTE TO ALL: Don't get a swap partition on your sd card!
CWM recovery can partition the sd card if you are interested.

Thanks. I get it. But I'll stick to normal sdcard I guess, its a little complicated for me. Again, thanks for the info.
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
just found a post in this forum of someone who solved this issue upgrading the sd card to one above class4, i'll probably buy a new one tomorrow, hopefully that will do the trick.
good luck!!
ok guys ive installed the adb drivers using the fastboot, when I go to superoneclick and root, its gets all the way to the end and say
GG weve got root, restarting ADB for root and then this is the error I get any help would be greatly appreciated,
[+] Rush did it ! It's a GG, man !
[+] Killing ADB and restarting as root... enjoy!

Hey guys, since there is nothing for this phone yet, I decided to try to make a device tree, in order to build a recovery. The result is here .
As it's written in the repository, I started from scratch using this tutorial, and taking what I could from this stock ROM .
Unfortunately, after that I unexpectedly lock the bootloader using the MiFlash tool, the official MiUnlock asks me to wait 160 hours before unlocking the bootloader again(I don't know why, but this thing happened three times!), so at the moment, if I tried to build a TWRP recovery, I wouldn't be able to flash it and try it on the phone. I'll simply wait for this.
In the meanwhile, I thought about sharing it to let you suggest me any recommendation or similar, since I have a lot of doubts about what I've done. Here's why:
- In the 5th step, the tutorial says to move "factory_init.*.rc files, meta_init.*.rc files, ueventd.mt****.rc, init.recovery.mt****.rc" files into the root folder. Unfortunately, inside the unpacked recovery.img that I used I couldn't find these files. Therefore, I put the files that are still there, hoping that they're the correct ones.
- Still in the 5th step, I completely skipped the writing of the permissive.sh file, because I didn't know what to write. The file is there, but it's empty.
- From the 6th step, the tutorial starts to mention the values BRAND and MANUFACTURER. They should respectively be Redmi and Xiaomi. Hopefully, I didn't get any of these wrong.
- In the 8th step, the tutorial shows how to write the BoardConfig.mk file. I have got several doubts about that file, you can search for these comments inside the file itself: "I have no idea about this" and "I believe the zImage file is wrong". In particular, my doubt about the zImage stems from the fact that, in the 5th step, the tutorial says to put the "recovery.img-kernel" file inside the prebuilt folder. Unfortunately, I was not able to find this file inside the recovery.img, but I found the "recovery.img-kernel_offset" file, and I put that one, hoping that it's the correct one. Nonetheless, I've read here on the forum that the kernel has not been released yet by Xiaomi.
- In the 9th step, the tutorial shows how to write the omni_merlin.mk(in this case) file. I got some doubt about the last values, you can search for this comment inside the file itself: "I'm not totally sure about these last values".
These are all my doubts about this device tree, hopefully you'll be able to help me! Please let me know, and thank you!
P.S. It's my first time doing something like this, and, more important, using Git. I hope I didn't do anything wrong!
Ok, now I'm completely stuck. I managed to extract from the boot.img what I think is the kernel image, it's now in prebuilt/zImage. But I got a problem with the recovery.fstab I should write. The problem is that I cannot find /system mounted. Could it be that the problem is that Magisk is installed and it messes up something? Please help me. Could it be that the mount address is /dev/block/dm-1/system?
