[Q] How to install android 2.3 GingerDX? - XPERIA X8 General

Hi,
I've never flashed this phone so I don't know how to do it.
I want to install this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188486
I have SE Xperia x8
Model num: E15i
Stock Android version 2.1-update1
Kernel: 2.6.29
Build Number: 2.1.1.A.0.6
Can you give me all files that I need to download to begin the flashing process, and a tutorial (step by step) how to install it.
I don't have ClockWork Mod or anything else.
Thanks in advance!

Can someone help me please!

Hi!
Hi! I see that you have problem with GINGER DX instalation and you don't have CWM. First you must to install XRecovery (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ls10Og6W89s) . When you install them you go to xrecovery ( turn on your phone and press back button on phone when you saw SE white logo). You came into xrecovery. 0. Put your GINGER DX file on SD - then you must to turn off your phone and go to xrecovery. 1.Click to delete all user data(you will gonna delete all your data so make a copy on PC) 2.Click Install Custom zip. 3.When you install zip go to Advanced setting on Xrecovery and clean battery stats. Then reboot your phone and you have installed ginger dx!

GingerDx from v014+ should be isntalled with CWM!!! Easiest way to install it is find on this forum x8toolbox and install it and install Xrecovery or CWM or both!!! But before that you should root your phone

You need to go step by step
1. Root your X8 by using SuperoneClick. (File attached)
2. Install XRecovery.
3. Follow the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188486

follow nima's instructions
i suggest upgrade to FroyoBread first and install Dual Recovery Mode using x8 toolbox just follow the steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100
then install GingerDX v019 using CMW . . then your on GingerDX now . . horray ! ehehe

Wait,wait..
Can i do like matej says,is that good?

I can't instal xRecovery because i don't know how to root my phone.Superoneclick don't works for me

Why ,be more specified

install a dual recovery using x8toolbox . then install the latest GingerDX using cwm

I am new here and i have successfully installed v20 of GingerDX on my X8.., so happy with it.. i get to enjoy gingerbread and was not stuck on the stock rom of SE..i just hope there is a contact picker when writing new messages.

[Q] Help fellow android- APP2SD

Hey, is there any app i can use to directly transfer my apps to sd card without upgrading to froyo. I have an xperia X8 eclair, and the only reason i rooted was to move apps to sd.
The reason i dont wanna upgrade to froyo is because i like the eclair interface more and if i flash to froyo i loose all my current settings right.
Please suggest a way.
Thanks

Do exactly the same thing as with other ROMS
1) Download the ROM
2) Copy file to main directory in your SD Card
3) Reboot to xRecovery
4) Format system, format data, format cache and in advanced wipe battery stats and dalvik's cache.
5) Install custom zip, then choose downloaded file.
6) Full wipe and reboot.
USE SEARCH AND READ POSTS
P.S. I had problem with installations from market (I was unable to sign in to Google Talk). Full wipe helped.

CWM vs xRecovery

Hi, im new here and i have a question. Iv been trying for answer in already opened topics but i cant found it.
What is difference between CWM and XRECOVERY??? I have already installed xRecovery, but i wanna try new DX rom which need to be installed with Cwm, so my question is can i install it and use instead xRecovery or i need both of them, because i wanna try GingerKrutz which required Xrecovery.......
P.S. Sorry on my bad english
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
Well in GingerDX V013 you can have both
Sent from my X8 running on GingerDX via XDA APP
Its ok, but at this time im using a stock 2.1 .... And i dont know what should i do, because i wanna try both DX 14 and krutz 7.4. First one need to be installed with CWM and second with xRecovery
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
If you are on stock 2.1 Install both CWM and Xrecovery at the same time using x8 toolbox: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100
Tap on the screen at the SE logo for CWM, or hit back button on SE logo for xrecovery.
I'd do a complete backup with xrecovery then install either of the roms you want to try. restore the backup then try the other rom.
Ok, thanks..ill try...

1. yes
2.yes
3.u can install dual recovery using x8 toolbox. however, i heard that installing dual recovery using x8 toolbox while using stock eclair ROM will require extra steps (which i dont really know and i cant confirm this). so i recommend that u just install a froyo ROM through xrecovery/freexperia and then use x8 toolbox if u want dual recovery.
4. if i understands right, u wanna install floyo by racht..? if yes, in racht's thread there is a clear instruction on how to do it but u need to know that some floyo ROM (i think v0.15 and below) can only be installed by using backup and restore function in xrecovery/freexperia. for floyo v0.20 and higher it is installed by using custom .zip function in xrecovery/freexperia.
(i dont really remember well coz havent gone to the thread for a while now, just read the thread back...the instructions are there)
