[TUT] How to install walkman W8 firmware on X8 - XPERIA X8 Android Development

There is no need of porting this stupid rom it has got themed music player and new wallpaper nothing more plus no google apps

did you already try it yourself?
also, i think you need to modify build.prop, ro.product.model, make sure the value is not E15i/E15/E15a

YES! IT'S DOWNLOADING!
Gonna upload ftf in next few hours

Hmmm, but it is still Eclair and i guess SE wont upgrade it to Froyo or open the bootloader on it..

Because if this you need custom so update service cant detect x8 plus it will download general w8 firmware.

Via IMEI/TA info maybe...

@as-mario, yes i already know that, what i said is, that you have to make sure that the ro.product.model is NOT E15 or E15i or E15a, so that SEUS won't detect the phone as X8

hmm, try changing ro.product.model value with W15, i think thats the original name for W8, just like X8 = E15
P.S : maybe you need to change the other X8-related value, like shakira, or X8
oh yeah, i cannot try it myself right now, as im running on linux, and its midnight here, and im very tired, go to sleep

So sad because it say unknown also where is x8 in update service i cant find it.
Sent from my X8 using XDA Premium App

then why the phone chooser is exist if it can recognise the phone via imei or trim?

I don't know... no matter which phone you choose, SEUS will recognize the actual info from TA/GDFS.
Only stock FW has customization-related apps that read info from build.prop and write it to TA, so since I have it, I'm gonna try something about it

Can anyone give me link of some Indonesian forum where people have W8? I'd try with changing build.prop...

Whats point of W8 forum when X8 forum can be renamed to X8/W8 forum

I think the W8 firmware is not worth using but to get some widgets might prove good, and a specific forum for W8 will not exist, I even asked sevitius, unless there are loads of people wanting to have a separate w8 forum

anyone got W8 or not?

I've asked for build.prop on Android-Indonesia. But it's 1AM there so I'll have to be patient...

in my forum, there's still no one owns W8, well, i'll try to find it
EDIT = i think W8 is not available yet on indonesian market.
here you can check it : http://www.selularshop.co.id/advanc...armhas4l3ct92m7g0he6n1&keywords=sony+ericsson
and http://globalteleshop.com/category.php?id_category=36
still no W8, and they are authorized distributor of SE in my country, but in my forum, someone already wants to buy W8.
oh yeah, this is my forum : http://www.kaskus.us/showthread.php?t=7655059
And we have stronger X8 community there compared to Android-Indonesia. But you must registered before posting

(THINKTANK/DEV) X10 Gingerbread System Dump

Hey all, Infinitybiff here. I make awesome winzip romz. In all seriousness, I'm a bit of a developer. I'm hoping one of you fellas (or ladies) has managed to update their unbranded xperia to the 2.3 update that was released today. I'd like to get the file that the SE updater downloaded to your system or a system dump of the rom if at all possible. My intent is to make a custom rom flashable to all x10 (with root and busybox of course). I'm sure someone is already working on it, but figured i'd get the ball rolling.
If you want to update your unbranded x10 to 2.3 and help out the community, you can download the SE updater from HERE
update is not released yet the word is that its starts rolling out on friday

Hi Infinitybiff,
Do you have a X10 if so can you try and update and the upload all the files for us. as you live in the future.
When it is released im sure your support and work will be more than welcome.
welp. looks like all the sites that said its out are a bit off base. I stand corrected. *waits patiently*
You just cant simply supdate X10 to gingerbread by xRecovery.Our recovery cant touch the kernel and baseband.
We must update th kernel and baseband first,then by recovery.

Taylor Swift.
About 2 years ago,West interrupted her on the stay of CMT,later president Obama,in a non-official talk,called West a 'jerk'
I am now concering wheather Xrecovery will work after flashing new kernel.
I konw we have to update the kernel and baseband using flashtool first,then boot into xRec to flash the rom.It will be bad if we cant boot into xRec after flashing.jew kernel.Or we flash the rom first,then flash the kernel?

Delete RomManager now

Rom Manager. Instant brick very easy. One little wrong choice and youre toast. Hardbrick=change of cpuboard. Or jig work.
I speak from xperience .
Seen too many post with noobs playing with this app. Its not for SE phones. So dont use it. Way too easy to brick.
Use xrecovery to make nandbackups. Doomkernel <-
EDIT:this is ofcourse ROM MANAGER APP. nothing else. sorry for confusion.
And where to find xrecovery for 2011 xperias ?
Don't tell me to search in the forum there's no post about it, expect one with compatibility problem with the ray.
if you know what you're doing it is impossible to destroy the phone, by the way cell phones service need to earn a little money

Which FTF file you're looking for? I've got a little credit on my PayPal and going to do a flash with Wotan and upload the files here I will upload .62 (and .431 maybe later)

I know about that tutorial and I also know that people fail following it. Though I never tried it.
So before you spend your money on that first try to do that
Just an advice
Btw I believe those fw's can be made with PCC/SEUS, at least ics ones.
Anw, your money your choice

I think KeiranFTW was planning to do a cwm recovery bootable through a stock kernel and a locked boot loader. Bug him
if i get the european ftf for ICS and root on my Locked BL Xperia U, I can try to use the already existing CWM for Xperia U, and make it work more or less the same way it works on 2.1Stock X8, by changing one file that is loaded on the boot, to add an instruction for the keypress and the recovery .tar file... i can try, but maybe no success... just waiting to get my hands on ICS

Man, you can already get ICS for your device, like i did. Get FTF from st25a from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916419
Flash it via flashtool and tick "exclude Baseband".
You'll get an european version, like i did.
The use Bin4ry script to root it (it works, i've tested it).
Can you then let us know your progress?

I didn't know this was possible...exclude baseband and you get a European version? How? I know where that box is in flashtool but didn't know about this issue. My phone has poor reception since I used the Indian ICS ftf, I live on the other side of the world and wondered was there a slight compatibility issue.
