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.

Here you'll learn how to flash anything you want and links to threads containing flashtool and basebands. But why would you flash older baseband, which doesn't support custom ROMs, is beyond me.
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 flashed miniCM,but i want to try other rom.what do i need to do?? Thanks!

If you update phone, root it , install xrecovery and then install a new rom.
Or i think you an use (if you have) a buck up from last update, and then install a rom.I am not sure for the lastone.

Hope this can help you..
If you have flashed MiniCM, you do not need to reinstall Xrecovery, just check the installationinstructions for the other roms and flash it in Xrecovery. On some roms you just need to put the update.zip in the root and update and for other roms, you need to put the unzipped folder in the Xrecovery backup folder and backup your phone from Xrecovery.

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.

I don't think you can flash latest firmware directly if you're still running lolipop.
But if you want custom roms, then just get twrp recovery and flash a rom.
There's no need to upgrade stock firmware to do that.
