Hello,
I recently acquired a Xperia X8 and tried to install a CFW, but i have some issues
So far, as i understood, i'm on android 2.1 root, using xrecovery, my baseband is 015, build 2.1.1.A.0.16, the cell is the international version ( not the american one ).
I tried to install FroyoBread v023b and i also tried the GingerDX v017, following closely the guides, and no matter what i try, i end up always stucked at the logo ( either froyobread or i don't remember what is written on the second one ). My x8 simply freeze at these logos, and i finally go again to the xrecovery menu, restoring my backup and am still on 2.1 root.
If anyone have an idea of where i did wrong and how to make me install finally one of these roms, it'd be really nice =)
Thanks

I tried to install a CFW too, i'm on android 2.1 Rooted and xRecovery installed , my baseband is 015, build 2.1.1.A.0.16,
I tried to install the GingerDX v017, I install rom manager and when I try to install CWM there is not X8 on phone list.
I sucesfully install Fdxperience with xrecovery and restore to 2.1...
Help me with Rom manager, CWM and GingerDX v017please!
Thanks!
Well, i tried to redownload the rom and install it in case i could have a problem with the file i downloaded ( i doubted of it but who knows u_u ), same problem. i still am freezing at the froyobread logo
- Edit -
I tried just now with another rom, installed using the recovery system, and weirdly, its the same, i freeze at the logo Hackdroid this time...
If I install GingerDX v13 with xrecovery, is it possible to upgrade it to v17 without CWM?

take a look here.... android-xperiax8.blogspot.com/2011/06/rom-froyobread-by-doixanh.html
ok i found out the problem... it was the µSD that was causing issues... i removed it, i booted... then i partitionned it a second time ( maybe the ext 2 part was a bit too big and made crash the FW first launch, who knows )

As the title says i have problems installing custom rom on my android phone.
First time i installed a custom rom was 4 months ago and at that time, it worked ! I installed CM7 and it worked with a few small bugs but now i found a better version of cm7 and i tried to install serveral times and it didn't worked.
The custom rom i tried to install was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554530
What steps i followed:
1. I rooted the phone with superoneclick v2.3.3 and it was ok
2. I installed ClockWork Recovery from android market and flash recovery (v5.0.2.8)
3. I selected a custom rom to install and until here it was fine.
So, the phone has rebooted himself and the installing of cm7 began ...
And from here start the problem: After installing, on the screen remains the writing ANDROID like in the picture from the attachement. (the picture is made in paint)
So what is the problem,what i've done wrong ?
This is not the first time i install a custom rom,i know how to install but i don't know what is the problem now ...
Sorry if i posted in the wrong section,but i'm new here
Thank you in advice

no one ?!
i need help with this,i can't figure out why is not working ...
nevermind,i solved myself

Hello!
I'm new in this forum and a noob in smartphones... But I don't like my Xperia arc s android, 4.0.4, and I want to put 4.3 jelly bean on it. So i google how to do it and found this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397236.
I downloaded the newest cm 10.2 anzu and put it on my phone. Then I root my phone and tried to do what it says in there, to use flashtool and rom the boot.img file. I did that and it didn't do anything. I also tried do iniciate my phone in recovery mode and was also unnable to do so.
I want you to teach how to do this if you have the time and patience to do so
Hi, a few months ago I decided to install a custom ROM on my Sony Xperia Z1. In order to do that I first followed [1] to install a custom recovery (I think I followed the tutorial pointed by the link, but I did that a few months ago so I might be wrong). This way or another I installed a custom recovery - now when entering recovery it says: PhilZ Touch 6.59.0, ClockworkMod v6.0.5.1. Unfortunately I didn't have time to play with it and finally I didn't even install any custom ROM. So my Z1 is now on 14.5.A.0.270.
Now I'd like to use the standard OTA upgrade to move to Android 5.1 (14.6.A.1.236) and my Z1 offers me that. But once downloaded the upgrade cannot be installed for some reason (I suspect it's the custom recovery). When the upgrade procedure starts it asks me to reboot the phone, after a while the Android guys and a progress bar shows up, but it stops after like 10% of the progress bar. Once booted back to normal operation the phone says there was an error upgrading software.
So I'm trying to figure out how to bring back the stock recovery hoping that it would solve my problem. I thought about using Xperia Flash Tool (aka Emma) to flash a generic ROM for my Z1 which would hopefully also contain a stock / generic recovery but the tool requires an unlocked bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader would force me to loose my DRM keys and so on. I don't want to follow this path. Is there a way to restore my phone back to its original state before installing custom recovery so that it was able to use OTA upgrades? I'd simply like to use all stock firmware to avoid further complication.
I know it's probably strange to ask on instructions on going back to pure stock software on such forum but you're my last resort.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Wow, this recovery's install is pretty much a toolkit! What I don't get is why it doesn't offer to back up the original recovery. Oh, 'cos Sony does not have a stock recovery.
This post should help. Or this post (for navigation purposes).
Any questions, you can post in the following thread (once you have an XDA account):
> Sony Xperia Z1 > Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > I can't enter Recovery mode what should I do
Or..
> Sony Xperia Z1 > Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > Sony Xperia Z1 Ask Away help thread.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
