[Q] Cannot install custom ROMS - XPERIA X8 General

Hello,
I have been an owner of an x8 for 3 months. I have rooted it and xrecovery installed and would love to get froyo/gingerbread on it. However, I have tried multiple roms, including floyo 2.2.1, and CM7 hackdroid. When I try to install floyo I get MD5 mismatch error and when installing CM7 I get stuck at the boot. Please help!

Remove overclock if you get boot loops. Check minicm thread for no-oc.zip.
Folders can not have spaces. Remove spaces and try again

How do I remove overclocking? I have fixed the MD5 Mismatch problem however floyo is also stuck on boot loop. Please help!

Have you tried to do full wipe (factory reset) in xrecovery before installing?

Yes, I have tried that.

To remove OC flash this using xrecovery -> custom zip.
For md5 mismatch error, remove any spaces from folder name.

What's your baseband version? I know that floyo 0.25 (what i'm running) required a 015 version, for example. If you would try it on an older version it would result in boot loops.

my baseband version is . Could you suggest either a ROM that will work with my baseband or a way of changing my baseband. Thanks in advance!

Is there something wrong with my phone or haven't you typed your baseband version? You can find it here: (sorry, it's in Dutch) under "smalbandversie" you can read your version. You have to look for the last 3 numbers. On my system it's 015

And if yours is older than 015, you can flash it somehow. Otherwise you could install floyo 0.20 (if i haven't it wrong it's compatible with older basebands)

Sorry my baseband is ends in 006. but I have floyo 0.20

What we need is a video guide showing what to do, like a visual one (not just text) - On the lines of videos, a video guide showing how to change a rom would be nice.

Isn't something like that available on youtube? I recently watched a video where someone was explaining for example how to install xrecovery, busybox and then a custom rom on a droid
Sent from my Xperia X8

Hello, I do not have the latest baseband, I have the 006 baseband. Do you know any roms that will work with basebands other than 015? If so please post!

Maybe this link would be of some use for you:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513
Sent from my Xperia X8

Sorry, all those roms need the 015 baseband!

Are there any ROMS that will work with the older baseband i.e ending in 006.

Maybe it's better to flash to 015 ?
Because you cant find one easily. And 015 versions should normally be more recent, thus more stable.

No, all ROMs need 015 baseband

I had the same problem when I tried to install a custom ROM. So I updated to the latest stock ROM first (using xRecovery) and then I could install GingerDX.
Try to do that.

Try Bionix v-1.3.1
Stable, and one of the fastest, most consistent roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925548
If you want a working GPS, Great battery, stability.. and don't mind not having the latest things, you should go with Bionix here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925548
If you don't mind sacrificing battery, and not the best gps, go with CM7; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061889
Or, if you want the latest; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362961
Second the Bionix 1.3.1
The NextGen builds by Team Whiskey are also very nice, but not as stable as 1.3.1
I've tried CM7, MIUI and ICS, but nothing does everything as well as 1.3.1
Thank you guys for fast answer and help.
Your sugest me update bionix 1.3.1, this is build number ?
I find this in youtube, somebody have this in phone and bionix 1.3.1 :
He have another firmware, baseband, kernel version ..
My is:
firmware version2.1-update1,
baseband version T959UVKA2,
kernel version 2.6.29,
build number ECLAIR.UVKA2
What i need, only update build number ECLAIR,UVKA2, to BIONIX 1.3.1 ?
I am sorry for my ask, but i dont need do something wrong.

Yes, the firmware, baseband, and kernel will be different. The rom is running Android Version 2.2 which if Froyo, no longer Eclair.
I know there has to be a guide around here somewhere to installing Bionix 1.3.1 easily, try the search.

[Q] I flashed the wrong kernal and now SM-G900F won't boot

I'm an impatient idiot. Lol I accidentally flashed the wrong kernal through Odin and now the phone won't boot. Phone is an international model bought in Hong Kong. I flashed this one which is a kernal for NE2 (Old Rom Kernel for G900F ONLY, use F6 KERNEL FOR G900FD):
KERNEL_G900FXXU1ANE2.tar.md5
I found it on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044
So now the phone won't boot but I can get into Download and Recovery mode. Can someone please tell me how to install/flash the correct kernal. Do I need to flash the stock software or can I install a custom ROM which will also include the correct kernal. Please help! Any links to the correct download would be great!
Thanks in advance.

That is easier to fix than flashing the wrong modem. Just flash a stock SM-G900F and you should be fine. You may opt to Wipe your Internal Memory and data clean to benefit from flashing.
Thanks, I flashed the stock with Odin and it works a treat.

How to install a new ROM in the current state of my phone?

I want to install a ROM of the latest android version. I installed a custom ROM a long time ago, I honestly don't remember what I did. I think I used "wug's tool" or something like that. Here's what my phone says:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Where it says GT-I9505G, I don't think it said that originally, when I got this custom ROM it changed to that. It's an AT&T phone (U.S). I'm not very knowledgeable about this, I usually just follow tutorials.
So what method should I use? Any tutorials, links? ROM recommendations?
Thanks.
It's important to know which bootloader is on the phone before flashing anything.
I suggest installing Samsung phone info app from the play store to find the version. Once you know the version, then you can decide how to proceed.

Add screenshots of the app to check it better.
Since he already flashed a custom rom, I don't think the bootloader is locked anymore.
In theory, you just need to flash a custom recovery (TWRP recommended) then you should be able to flash pretty much any I9505 roms.
I agree that it is unlikely that the bootloader is locked but I believe it is always good to know which bootloader is on a phone before flashing anything.
if Wi-Fi or network signal isn't good on any new rom you try you'll need to change the bootloader if you want to update the modem/baseband.
I installed the latest version of TWRP since mine was outdated. I did a full wipe as instructed in the ROM's page but TWRP refuses to install the ROM after. I keep getting "Updater process ended with ERROR: 7" "Error installing zip file [location of my file/file name]". I am without OS.
What rom are you trying to flash?
