Hello guys!
I was wondering how to restore my phone to 2.1 by SE I've 2.2.1 beta 2.1 mici cm
Have I just to use restore in PCC or SEUS?
thanks in advance!
you should do a backup before install of minicm. Yes, with seus you can restore 2.1, but if you bought your phone from a provider (tmobile) later you need to edit build.prop file in system dir, to get warranty back.
ok thanks, i've a unbranded x8 and I haven't done the backup because I had to upgrade to 2.1.1 from 2.0.1 so i had no features installed
so i have to click repair and it's ok?

xRecovery backup is the best, that can save your phone if it bricks!

Wouldn't it be easier to flash clean 1.6 and then install the branded update via SEUS? Then he wouldn't need to root it in the first place. Unless he wants to
how much was the unbranding and where did you done it?
Just click repair on seus and thats all.
I've no idea whatsoever, I don't use tmobile, I simply suggested that installing pure 1.6 and then updating the phone with SEUS will give a similar result as setting build.prop for a proper network - SEUS will install you a proper version for your network anyway.

I managed to root it, installed the APK version of xRecovery, installed xRecovery from there but I can't seem to be able to actually get into xrecovery, flashtool's reboot into xrecovery option is greyed out.
Furthermore, the Eclair version this x8 is running is outdated:
Baseband 06 with 2.0.1.A.0.47 while the latest one is 2.0.2.A.0.24, I tried flashing the latest one for this baseband using flashtool with the files from this post but it didn't stick, phone was still running 2.0.1.A.0.47 after the process was completed. SEUS says the phone is running the latest version.
*EDIT* Success, the APK installer wasn't working properly, so I did a manual install and now xRecovery is working *EDIT*
Seriously u should first update to 2.1.1.A.0.6 first which is the latest version..coz most of app here required latest baseband (15) and latest build to work properly

I tried with PC Companion and SEUS, both say that the current version is the latest, and I don't know if I can just flash the newer version in using flashtool.

Hello
It is possible to install customs roms (update.zip) directly from computer, with flashtool or other software ? Or only possible with Xrecoveru on sdcard
Yes, flash tool

It is possible. But xRecovery method is a lot better. You can create a backup, and if something goes wrong with a custom rom, boot into xRec and restore. Cake really.
How do you install from flashtool? From Flash? But that's for firmware if I remember correctly~
So if it is possible ! How to flash update.zip with Flashtool or any one other soft ? Because i want to try to flash Customs Roms without sdcard
Can i upgrade x8 1.6 to 2.1 using xrecovery, ie, by placing the stock 2.1 rom in place of a custom rom? Is it an alternative for pc companion and seus?

i don't thik so, because the 2.1 update has new kernel (but i'm not sure)
I'm really confused with it but i want to know. Thanks for the reply, anyway.
When I install the official rom imei deleted. I do every time restore imei. I bored. Is there a solution? thanks.
We would help you, but you're not giving any info.
On what ROM, on what kernel, on Windows or Linux?
solved usb.
There is a new problem. When I install the official rom imei deleted. I do every time restore imei. I bored. Is there a solution? thanks.
i think he means that he has to restore imei ( by going back to 2.2 ) everytime he updates his rom to official 2.3.5
and as you know you cant get .35 kernel without official installer
or can we ?

He modified topic name, he had USB problem before.
It is possible to create a flashable zip of 2.3 too, but I don't think it changes anything.
@OP: Try to use the imei backup/restore tool (5irom). Back it up on 2.2, then update to 2.3 and restore.

1. Flash this http://www.mediafire.com/?j5on1nw8obzejlw 0.42 generic world
2. Root your Phone with DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su
3. Update over the air to 0.62
i´v just tried this and it works perfectly!
UPDATE
This rom is Generic Global Rom for LT15i, i dont know if that works similar to LT18, because i cant test it.
www.mediafire.com/?8ebba1p37e74b1v
check this out if you have LT15i.
thanks , I did it. downgrade to 42 and rooted.
Does the funktion "Don't wipe userdata" work at flashtools? (or loose i all my settings?)
Sent from my LT18i using XDA App
i whiped all my things befor i flashed Generic global! you can download any free recovery app and save anything after flashing and rooting and updating only download again an recover that all back
ok, thank you. i will make before a "Restore"-Point with the CWA-Installer. Then i flash the .42 from your link without "wipe data" and i will see, how it works
If it´s wok, everything is fine, if it doesn´t work, i flash a second time an "wipe data".
I will report....
Hopefully it will work properly coz I tried everything to fix the issue

does it work for you ?
yes of course. I have all datas (i don´t "wipe data") Now i´ve a rooted .62 with all my datas. Only my own Background was after the update not on my homescreen, but thats no problem.
Bevore I delete now the bloatware, i make a "restore"-point with CWA. So, if in the future a new update come (OTA), i can install the "untouched" .62 and OTA should work without flashing with flashtool.
may i ask something. link at the number 1. is't the original fw for LT18i?
yes this is original firmware firmware
first is LT18i
second is LT15i

Sorry for my ignorance bro, but what do you mean by you can't update because I will lose my device's root config? Are you referring to updating from 4.0.2.A.0.42 to 4.0.2.A.0.62 after rooting? But the instruction from the first post said that after rooting update to 0.62. Thanks.
Hi
I have just switched from HTC HD2 to Xperia Arc S.
I know all there is to know about flashing the HD2 (WinMo and Android), but next to nothing (yet) about Xperia. I gather that .62 can't be rooted yet, so you'll have to downgrade, root and then upgrade back to .62 OTA. Does that mean that it will also be possible to upgrade to ICS (when that's ready) from a rooted .62_)?

Backup and Restore app in your phone will not work with the backups you have made on 4.1.2 once you get 4.3 . I had the leak 4.3 installed and it said those backups are not compatible. The PC Companion backup worked fine.

In your OP, the last query..you said that you'll lose root once you update your phone...it usually depends on the way how you updated your phone, i mean thru OTA or PCC? If thru PCC you will definitely lose root, in OTA there is a way to keep root though. Tried it on my SP and works flawlessly:good:

You kept crashing on sony logo coz doom's method to root will not work on .266 anymore because the system in .266 is android 4.3 and the kernel on .254 was of android 4.1.2 hence that kernel dint managed to boot up the system of .266 and kept crashing on sony logo.
