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 :/

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?
Leaf
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?

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?

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

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)

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

Hi,
I recently bought a refurb Defy and was trying to install android 4 on it. I have gone through the forum but i am confused what to do.
I have rooted my phone using Superoneclick. I have installed ROM Manager from app store. But now i am stuck.I am reading posts but i am getting confused as to what to do.
The following are the defy details
Cam -Bayer
Android Version 2.2.2
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9-ga28fcc4
BuildNumber JOREM_U3.4.2_177-3
Can anybody please help me simple steps as to how to install android 4
Follow a guide on how to instal CM7 but replace the zip file with the one from a CM9 build (for the defy, not the defy+)
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
Install guide (courtesy of nogoodusername):
A How to on flashing ICS(Defy Plus Builds)
1:Head over to Stable Recovery from boot menu
2:Wipe Data (Nandroid Backup Before Doing this [optional])
3:Install Zip from SD
4:Select ur ICS(DefyPlus) zip
5:FLash
6:Flash CM9 Kernel
7:Flash Gapps zip(On first page of ICS DeV thread)
8:Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache
How To Flash ICS(Defy Builds)
1:Head Over To Stable recovery
2:Wipe Data
3:Install ZIp from SD Card
4:Select ICS(Defy) .zip
5:Flash
6:Flash CM7 Kernel
7:Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache
FIrst Boot will take some time...
TO CLEAR YOUR CONFUSIONS ABOUT GB KERNEL ICS AND FROYO KERNEL ICS
I have seen lot of confused user out there asking about which kernel to flash and stuff... So here u go read below...
So our beloved Awsome Developers make two types of nightlies
1-For DefyPlus(Can Also be used on Defy(RedLens))
These are the GB/CM9 kernel builds
These are found under /cm9-nightly-defy+/ folder of the servers which we have
To install these you need to follow the TuT to install ICS Defy Plus Above...
Green Lens Camera Wont work on these(Correct me if I and wrong)
2-For Regular Defy(Do not work on Defy plus)
These are Froyo/CM7 kernel Builds
These are found under /CM9-Nightly-Defy/ folder of the servers which we have.
To install these follow the TuT to install CM9 ICS FOR Defy stated above
3-Well there is no 3rd build(There is The MileStone2 Port by Walter79,But now that we have camera on our builds that one is not usefull...)

Basically, as labsin said, you can follow the same steps of CM7 flashing guide, but changing the build with an CM9 one and adding the correct kernel. In your case, you can choose which kernel to use, because Bayer Defy is compatible with both Froyo and Gingerbread kernels.

Hey guys,
First of all sorry about all the noobyness, but i would really appreciate some help
So i really want to install Arconium 8.2 on my Arc S and i have no clue on how to do so. I've read that you need to flash doomkernel v22 and then install Arconium 8.2. Could someone please tell me how do i go from stock GB to Arconium 8.2?
I am running stock GB version 4.0.2.A.0.62 with a unlocked bootloader, and also I'm not rooted.
Again, sorry about the nooby topic.
Thanks!

Everything you need
Flash the new kernel (in your case, doomkernel) then in the kernel go into recovery (pressing the vol-down key during boot) and then wipe everything by factory reset in recovery and install new rom (arconium)
To flash new kernel you'll flash tool under drivers and software in the link provided

Hi there, so it is probably better to install this ROM with android 4.0.4 instead of any ROM with 4.1.2 right? To make the phone run a bit faster compared to 4.1.2?

YES!!! This rom I have uploaded is very fast!!!
Now for Android 4.1.2 I do not know if a rom like this will be fast!
I put cyanogenmod 10 4.0.1 (Android 4.1.1) and it is the slowest rom I have seen!!! And it also has a lot of bugs!!!
