Hello!
I want to install a new costum rom: [ROM] 2.2.1 MiniCM-1.0.0-Beta2.1 port for x8
I have a costum rom from racht alredy installed on my x8 device.
Question:
If i want to install a new costum rom, do I have to restore my stock/original rom to device before installing that rom? Or can i just install that rom?

No, you can flash roms one over another. Even if they are compatible, you can make "advanced recovery" and flash only the system part, so you keep your programs, contacts, call logs etc.
So if i have a 2.3.3 CM X8 J005 HACKDROID i can install update.zip onto it?

yes. switching Rom is an easy part with xrecovery.
I'm on Ginger Xperia V24b, but a new version is out: [ROM] GingerXperia||ESPECIAL EDITION|| nAa kernel ANDROID 2.3.7 GINGERBREAD CM7.
V25nAa is out now, do I need to do a full wipe if I want to upgrade?
When I selecet to Reboot into Xrecovery, then FreeXperia X8 Recovery v001 starts up instead.. whats up with that? And can I use it all the same? I wanted to get gapps, downloaded it from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps , but they don't have any for my Xperia 8, what am I suppose to do?
I also have Clockwork Mod v3.2 I have now tried to use it, selected install from zip, found the gapps .. said its done. Then I tried to Fix permissons, but that process is stuck :/

sounds like you tired to install over a froyo rom/kernel, did you upgrade to 2.3 official before installing the .35 recovery and rom?

hi
i am using miui from the last few months now, i installed cyanagen , all these roms are based on 2.3 and at present i am using miui_u8800_2.2.24 andi tried to install rom from this rom only, i dont use froyo, but still the problem persists,
can u help
You need to install OFFICIAL 2.3.5 if you want to use .35 kernel ROMs (new CM7.2, Aurora, new MIUI...). It is not enough if you just install a custom 2.3 ROM beacuse older 2.3 ROMs use .32 kernel, so you need to update to official 2.3.5 which also changes some other files so you can use .35 kernel and from official you can go to .35 kernel custom ROMs.
now different prob

hi
thanks for what u said but
i installed official 2.3.5 but now there is no imei and when i try to load into pink screen to change the recovery, it is not mounting, seems there r no files in it,
please help
and also when i revert back to 2.2 it shows files in boot screen in boot loader (pink Screen) and there i can change the latest recovery 5.5.0.4 but again the problem is back to .32, is there any way i can install only kernel to first change from .32 to .35 and then try to install a different rom (.35)
i would also like to add the official update i used was Android 2.3 V100R001C00B526G001 and now there is one more update Android 2.3 V100R001C00B528G001, currently i am downloading that, i will let u know what happens after i download that

You can change recovery with root explorer. Here is a great guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728
Every ROM from beta2 on has locked bootloader so you cant change files when in pink screen but you can unlock it after you rooted it and changed recovery (search development forum for tutorial)
Problem solved

hey there sgy mods of xda.can you pls give me an advice or suggestion which stock rom version/baseband is compatible to merruks tech kernel 2.0?thanks!id tried it once in S5360_DXMJ1_OLBMJ1_DXMI1 stock rom.before i flash kernel 2.0 busybox was there but there is no kernel swap support.after i flash the kernel 2.0 i think it works great but the problem is theres no busybox installed after i check it thru root checker and there is no swap support after im trying to install ram expander.can you pls advice me or suggest me for the compatible stock rom version/baseband for Meruks kernel 2.0.thanks alot guys for those who will help.
btw, another problem in stock rom is that i cant install some of the games that is compatible to other gingerbread os phones/mobile.i wonder why...is there anything i have to do to make it possible?even apps too...
one more thing, i hope there is a detailed tut/steps on how to restore/backup stockrom using the cwm recovery.i hope there's some applications included that is compatible for restoring and backup.it is also a guide to all newbie/noob of sgy s5360.here's what happen why im asking for this....i had a stock rom flashed in my sgy and the version/baseband is the one id mention above.then i tried to flash custrom jellyblast.it works great at first but theres some bugs so i decided to restore my backup stockrom but after i did that.somethings wrong happen like bootloop and the worse is i can go to recovery mode just a bootlogo.so i had to flash the stockrom again using odin and i think that is a time consumable and i had to pay for computer rent to the computer shop just to revive my sgy.so thats my biggie problem....specially that im still newbie in sgy s5360.
