How to flash a custom rom - XPERIA X8 Android Development

Hi,
I'm having problems installing a custom rom and need your help!
Here's what I did:
0) Installed the lastest SW (version 2.1.1.A.0.6 + baseband M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015)
1) Rooted and installed xRecovery without any problems at all
2) I place a custom room in the root of the sd card (tried several different ones)
3) Boot up in xRecovery
4) Select "factory reset" (with succes)
5) Select "Install custom zip" - "choose custom zip from sdcard" and then select my custom rom and answer "yes"
Then therese a shot flash of events, but it's too fast to read. At any rate nothing is installed. I'm able to restore my backup with any problems.
How come I can't install a rom?
Thanx all!

u are posting wrong question at this side dude....zZzz....
Xpe®ia X8 | 2.1.1.C.0.0

Stupid question, but have tried cleaning all the caches?
Edit:
U might try some other recovery app maybe? There should be atleast two choices..

Yep, wrong section for this question but:
Try this xrecovery http://www.mediafire.com/?lz6gwgohuakvbfo

Thanks, but that one didn't work either.
Sry about the wrong section posting!

easy dude !
1. make sure it's .zip file.
2. open the .zip and have alook at it's containments
3. if there is only one folder with the name of the ROM, then u need to extract that .zip and put the extracted folder in SD\ xrecovery\ backup then use "restore" from xrecovery menu
else if u find two folders "meta" and "system", then it simply should have worked!
4. never mind the SPAMMERs

5. updates.zip wont work with colckwork xrecovery (that's why I posetd standard one)
6. only *rar are supposed to be backups (for example racht roms.)
edit: @ OP - it must work. just copy those 3 files to system/bin , reboot. try several times if don't work immediately

One more quick N00b question...inside

I downloaded Mcnut R13 and unzipped it. Where do I find the pit file and the tar file for PDA using Odin?
You dont unzip it, and you dont need odin to flash mancut, download rom manager and flash it with rom manager.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I see. But is there a way to flash it using Odin? I would like to learn how to use it in case I soft brick it.
So I do have Rom Manager installed already but never used it. It doesn't need to be unzipped?
And how do I change kernels using Rom Manager and Odin?
Please read my sticky's before you continue and mess up your phone.
I've read this guide already. It doesn't really explain how to use Rom Manager. And if it somehow it does and I missed it I apologize.
I'll keep searching in the Q&A forum.
It has the steps to rom manager step by step... not trying to sound rude, just making sure you do not F up.
Check your PM

My apologies. Instructions are there and I read them last night. I just didn't remember reading anything about if the file containing the rom needed to be zipped or unzipped. Unless it was in one of the videos...
Just tried to install from the internal SD card. I placed the unzipped folder in the internal SD under a folder named R13. Then I checked the option to backup the rom but not to wipe data.
Long story short, installation aborted. Message was: Can't open /sdcard/sd/Mcnut_R13.Zip (No such file directory)
Someone told me it had to be unzipped first. But if it's looking for a file that ends in .Zip, maybe this is wrong.
no you don't unzip it at all...
download rom
put it on root of sd card (i.e. not in any folder)
boot into clockworkmod recovery via rom manager
if you get booted into stock recovery just keep choosing 'reinstall packages' until you get into CWM
make a backup of your current rom in case things go wrong
once thats done, choose 'install zip from sdcard' (4th option)
choose 'choose zip from sdcard'
navigate to preferred rom to install and push the power button to flash it
wait for it to finish and then reboot your phone

X10 Custom ROM AOSP 2.1 : How to for dummies [tutorial & discussion]

this thread is open to help newbies to install the 2.1 custom rom with the simples way..
you also can discuss any problem here..
dont mess the dev thread with a dumb question...
thanks to "Perceval from Hyrule" for the original tutorial..
this is revise version for 2.1
INSTALLATION FOR 2.1 AOSP
Before attempting anything, make sure you have AT LEAST 50% of battery charge. Don't try anything with low battery, you can abort the flashing and brick your device !!!
Please make sure you're also running a 2.1 rom (Generic, nordic, official, custom...)​
1st step:
make sure your computer is adb debugging ready..
in case in need for command execution..
- Download Android SDK
You don't need to save the entire archive (but you can), you just need the Tools folder (because it contains ADB, the Android Debug Bridge we need to install files).
2nd step:
- On x10 :
Enable USB debugging (Setting > Applications > Development).
Root your device. easiest way by using z4root.
Download and install Busybox (from Market), make sure it says "Done!".
3rd step:
install xrecovery for recovery menu.
xrecovery a.k.a recovery menu
4th step:
option 1:
Download rom.
2.1 AOSP ROM (make sure 2.1 since this tutorial is for 2.1)
extract the rom (u will get 2 folder + 1 files)
upload the file into your sd card root(sdcard/*.zip)
rename the *.ZIP to Update.ZIP
*the 2 folder contain application which u can install if u like
option 2:
Download rom.
2.1 AOSP ROM (make sure 2.1 since this tutorial is for 2.1)
extract the rom (u will get 2 folder + 1 files)
upload the file into your sd card root(sdcard/*.zip) or in any folder u like
*the 2 folder contain application which u can install if u like
5th step:
boot into recovery menu (by restart and hit few times back button when "SONY ERICSSON" word appear)
backup your original rom(in case u want to restore next time)
hit full wipe
option 1:
hit install update.zip from SD card
option 2:
hit install custom zip
search for the custom zip in folder where u save it
hit the zip file
after reboot, u will get custom rom installed in your X10
good luck ;-)
TIPS
1-u can do like rendeiro2005 said by creating rom folder and put the rom collection in it..
so if u want to change or try other rom just choose zip file from the particular folder...
this require using step from option 2
2-another one, by creating folder which contain backup image..
u can collect your friends backup image and put in one folder..
if u want to try, just restore the particular image file using backup/restore option in recovery menu and choose the backup image file..
collection of custom rom backup file for recovery menu:

Hi bro,
Only two calls on your excellent tutorial:
1. No need to put the rom in the root of the sdcard. I, for example, to distinguish the roms, I`ve created a folder "Rom" in the root and put the roms in there.
2. It is not necessary to rename the *. zip file.
When we entered the xRecovery, you can go to "install Custom Zip> zip Choose Custom from sdcard>" Now in my case I a. .. "Roms >........" and I intend to choose

it`s not a different way.
i think that way would be more simple (for me at least) `couse you can have different roms puted on the same directory without, everytime that you want to install one change his name to default.zip
but...great TUT (clap your hands floks)
Since i haved installed the 2.1 AOSP, my recovery were deleted !

Install all 3?! Yes you can...if you want you can install WM and iOS
Now mre seriously.
If you want to install 2.1 you have to format sdcard to one partition only. 2.1 doesn't work with more than 1.
Then you can flash...follow this guide to do so

Devoid.Franco Kernel 14

Been using Franco's Rom and Kernel and it's been great. However, I like to update to his v.14 kernel. I did the format
1. Wipe
2. Partition, etc...
3. Load v5 Rom
4. Restart
My problem is right here, the warning is to delete the tweaks file and the script file (which I don't have one) in File Manager. I use the OI manager that comes with v5 Rom but it just wont' delete, and I don't want to load the new kernel because of all the warnings, please help :-(...

it wont delete cause of permissions. I use root explorer for this kind of work. In this particular case i had deleted the nececary scrips from the flash zip and i flashed afterwards. (i had a clean install)
I am trying the clean install as well, can you give the instructions or point me to somewhere where I can read more about this, thanks for your time and effort.
Do I just delete it in the Devoid.Franco v5 zip before flashing and then restart the process (the only file that I can find is tweaks.sh)
Sorry, found the init.d file as well. Would I delete those files in the zip, rezip and then start the process over?
you just delete them from the zip and you flash it as usuall. just dont forget to disable verification check on your recovery or else it will give you error
Sorry, just a newb when it comes to this.
I couldn't delete the two files from the devoid.franco.v5.zip file so I did the following:
1. Extract the zip file
2. Deleted the two files
3. Rezipped the files into a new devoid.franco.v5.zip
4. Load the zip into the micro sd card after all the wipe and partition
5. Disabled Signature check
6. Tried the flash and it said it can't open the zip because it's bad :-(...
This can't be that hard when all the other kernels was easy to install...

Extracting a zip and re-zipping it DOESN'T work. You are not supposed to unzip the file. Just flash the rom, delete the offending files using root explorer, and then flash the kernel.
Sent from my LG Optimus One P500 using XDA App
You should't extract the file and rezip it. It corrupts it when it comes to flashing. I personally browse the zip file with winrar and simple delete the files i need. I also add files to zip this way like apks, ringtones etc
Trying winrar and it seems to work, gone to see if I can finish the entire process. Thanks so much for your time again. In the future, can I send the apps that I want directly into this zip? I can to sue something zipsigner before to get calendar, etc... Thanks again!!!
An alternative way for a clean install:
1: wipe everything
2: flash devoid.franco.v5
3: reboot (to check if everything is ok)
4: reboot into recovery
5: mount /system partition under 'mounts and storage' (clockworkmod)
6: from pc type (with phone still in recovery): 'adb shell'
7: in adb shell, type: 'rm /system/etc/tweaks.sh'
8: in adb shell, type: 'rm /system/etc/init.d/00script'
9: flash franco.kernel.v14
10: reboot
I Hope it helps,
Bye
You're welcome m8.
And yes you can have the apps you want inside the rom this way very easilly. just put them in app folder. I did this with some removed apps like browser and calendar and also removed zeam launcher and used adw launcher (personal taste) I even tried that with frameworks (aka themes) and it worked great
Thanks so much to both of your posts, it's working. One last questions, thought setcpu was already implemented in this kernel, but I don't see it anywhere? Again, thanks again for everyone's time and effort, learned so much today (wife is mad though because we need to do house work, lol, lol, better get going)... She said, "who formats their phone 5 times in 1 month, lol, lol"
setcpu is NOT included, you have to install it.
See first post in franco.kernel thread for the link.
Eh! eh! you are not in Europe, I guess if you have to help your wife NOW!!!
Barcelona-ManchesterUTD right NOW...
oh yes the wifes. my gf gets fustrated like "wtf are roms and kernels?? its just a phone!!! you call people and they call you back" rofl
One last note on setcpu. When i was using last version (2.13), every time i rebooted my phone the settings where gone and had to set them again. I switched to v2.1 and it worked like a charm. Have no idea if that is general issue or only me had it. Just thought i should tell you
Done via editing the zip with rar and all worked smoothly.
Thx all

[Q] How to install xRecovery over CMW 3?

Hello, guys!
Sorry for the question, but how can I install xRecovery 2.5 or 2.6, after I've already updated to CM6-1.0.2 with CWM 3? I've read a lot of topics, that say there is need to install an earlier version of xRecovery in order to be able to install .zip applications like themes for example.
I've tried to do it with ROM Manager, it says then I've xRecovery 1.7, 2.4 or another one, and when I choose to reboot in Recovery, Clockworkmod recovery 3 appears again, instead of the version that ROM Manager has reported.
Could you please explain me how to install recovery.img manually step by step or another way to install xRecovery over CWM 3? I've tried also to install it manually by copying chargemon and busybox files in bin folder, but after that the phone can not load the system - a lot of errors appear on boot.
I'll be very thankful to you for your help!
Thanks for the "answers", guys! Over 12 hours of fishsilence, thank you very much! You all are so "helpful" here as like we all are developers and should understand from a few words in your developers' slang!
The answer of my question is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079112
Yes, right here, guys! The xRecovery for the X10 Mini Pro works on the X10 Mini! No need for complex hboots, rom managers or so - simple .apk installation and the CWM 3 turned into 1x xRecovery!
Seems that you don't know that there is a search button into the forum.
One previous page there is a post named CWM2XREC (CW Recovery to Xrecovery)
Simply a update.zip file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111075
You may use the search button or atleast look two or three pages of the local forum.
Anyway the CW supports Xrecovery backup files.
Nope, I know about it, but the problem was I was unable to istall .zip files under CWM 3 for the lack of Edify script in it.

yes you can't flash old .zip with amend script but this one allows you to flash old xrecovery above cwm (i tried myself.)
then you'll be able to flash old .zip but no more the recent with edify scripting

[Q] Pushing a zip file-need help please

Hi! So I've sucessfully rooted my phone using the SuperOneClick or whatever its called...I need help backing up my rom. Already tried to follow these instructions;
G. Flash Custom Recovery:
1) Push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace.img to your device using "adb push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img /tmp/" command
2) Turn off your phone
3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON
4) Login to your device over "adb shell"
5) Mount /system using "mount /dev/block/stl12 /system" command
6) Flash CWM recovery using "flash_image recoveryonly /tmp/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img" command
7) Umount /system using "umount /system" command
8) Reboot your device using "reboot recovery" command to test your new CWM recovery
9) Reboot your device
This is great and all...except for the fact that this keeps happening;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb push recovery-cloc kwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img /tmp/ cannot stat 'recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img'
I've already moved the entire zip and folder into platform-tools. What is it I do now?
Would just like to know before I commence with downloading more apps.
Thank you in advanced,
WarDerp

Thanks. But which Zip? the one found on that website? I have clockwork but it doesn't recognize my phone model. Do I install that .apk included on? Some of these instructions are pretty vague to be honest. There's another version of that tutorial that goes more in depth but its for an older version. I don't really want to flash anything without knowing what I'm doing..
When you say 'you have clockwork', that's a very vague statement. Please elaborate.
The zip file on that website provides a version of clockwork that will 1. provide a backup of your rom and 2. works for SG Ace. Which is what you want right? If not don't read any further and do some more searching around!
So let's go over what the website says. Download the zip file to your computer, paste it to your SD Card (anywhere on your SD Card). When it says 'paste the zip file as it is', it doesn't mean 'paste the .apk included in the zip file', it means 'paste the zip file'...
Disconnect your phone from your computer. Turn your phone off. Reboot into recovery by holding down the middle button and then pressing the power button. That will bring up 'recovery mode'. In recovery mode you will see the option 'apply update from SD Card', select that option with the middle key. It will then show you a list, in which will appear the .zip file you 'pasted into the SD Card'. Go to it and press the middle button. It will then install Clockwork Mod Recovery on your phone.
This should appear as an app, with the Clockwork bowler hat symbol. In there you can then press the 'create backup' and it will automatically reboot into recovery and show you the process of copying all the files into the 'clockwork recovery backup' folder that will have been created on your SD Card.
Is there anything vague about that?

No need to get upset, but respect for helping me. So, in short, this will allow Clockwork Rom Manager to detect my model of phone and then allow me to back up my current rom, right?
I'm running Clockwork Rom Manager 5.0.0.3. What is the .apk he's including? Its not my fault if I have concerns..

What nonsense! I just want to do something so simple. And you keep saying not to use ROM Manager...but you recommend Clockwork Manager.
Sigh...

The samsung Galaxy Ace Gt-S5830D
But I'm not looking to modify it until I back up my ROM
*facepalm* Ohh spacecaker.....
Look OP , you cannot use ROM Manager because it bricks your phone .
You have to flash ClockworkMod Recovery through stock recovery (it's a zip file)
Herpderp Adreno + Tegra.
Ok, how do I do this? And from the beginning please
Step by step
Much thanks thus far!

No there is a miscommunication here. ROM MANAGER will brick your phone but CLOCKWORK RECOVERY is fine. They are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
CLOCKWORK RECOVERY can be got FROM THE LINK I PROVIDED and installed via the instructions I repeated here.
Edit: For the record the link I provided will install CWM Manager v1.80 AS WELL AS Recovery. This is not the same app as ROM Manager and it simply provides a user interface that takes you directly to Recovery Mode and create backups without having to go into recovery mode manually.

YES!
The last part of his post is a 'sig'...the hint is in its repetition...
Edit: But if you have Rom Manager for the love of God delete it first, before you do anything else. It will brick your phone!!!!!
