Gmail disaperad after installing root

So after i rooted my Xperia X8 Gmail was missing. I used the newest rom for the Xperia (the chinese rom) and after that it was gone.
Could anyone upload the Gmail apk for me? Because none of the apks I found in the internet are working.
Thanks in advance!
Unfortunately,I cant cos I m posting from an X8 but have You tried the market?
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
Yep tried to find it in the market but it isn't there. I think I read somewhere that it isn't in my market because I am European.
You must go to the firmware post, and download the app removed package (is in bottom of the post).
Thanks I looked in that thread earlier already but back then there wasn't a download link for the gmail apk.
Thanks

Just some quick feedback, when I click the Exit button, nothing happens....
Can you provide a link to the source? Is it on GitHub? It would be nice to extend this to a tool that can create Odin or Heimdall packages...
This doesn't work properly btw, the Block Size isn't changed when the Block Count is changed
and you can fix your phone as long as you have the original PIT file

How to Update Google Search on 2.3

I cant update Google Search to the grey one (new version). I cant download it on Google Play because its only available for 4.1 because its "Google Now" Now. Can someone upload the APK? Please?
If the update is only for 4.1 devices, what's the point of you updating???
Here's the link though. If it messes your phone up, I'm not responsible: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B2q4lSxNWBLgVkJvNGdPMVZGUk0
Im talking about the Grey google search one. Not Google Now. I found it anyways, but I cant post the link because im a NOOB

A tft file.What is it???

.tft file
I had come across mention of this tft file several times here on xda forum.
Now what is actually a tft file.
Does this file really exist. Or is this a blunt and a gross spelling mistake by several individuals here.
If it does exist,Do the xperia models new and old have to use it sometime.When?
If it is a non existence file refferal then there is a problem.
The first time I came across the said file was a refferal to a firmware I was looking for.Later I found out from someone else that what I needed was a ftf file.
Since than on several occasions I had come across the exact same refferal files from others on different threads and devices.
The odd thing about this is,its the older members of this forum who are giving out this refferals.
And to whom?Newbies/noobs.
If it is a genuine file than I would like to apologize to everyone on this forum for creating another uncalledfor thread.
But if it is not,than I recommend that anyone giving information to others,which is a noble thing that you guys do,to please proofread what have been written.
My apologies.

Tft file is file that has the file extension .tft. roms and firmwares have them and they are generally stock rom/firmware. You'll need one, for example "xperiaarcstockics.ftf" when you want to flash it on your phone with the program "flashtool".
Essentially, it is a file that allows you to "reformat" you phone through the program flashtool

Just adding some stuff.
It is FTF file format.
And can be used only to install back STOCK ROM. No custom stuff.
FTF = FlashTool File
Could be ftf., and yes, as mention above.:laugh:
I had been reading from the posted link but everything mentions about stuff which are not related to firmwares.
The only passage that links remotely to android is the use of Nidesoft DVD to Sony Xperia converter.
And I truly am unclear of the stuff written there.Thank god I am not in your shoes.(Developers)
But why refer newbies to such files in the first place.Why ask them to get this in tft.
I didn't know what tools to use to open such files until jiman mentions about flashtool at the end of her passage.
I've also scouted for a .tft file to try to use flashtool and open it but to no avail.
There is nothing on xda with a .tft file.Been scrolling for more than two hours. just to get a small sized .tft.
Imagine that.

You won't find any .tft file, just because it's clearly a gross spelling mistake as you stated in your first post...
The actual and real file extension for flashtool is .FTF , and not .TFT...
Read carefully what wrote Jiman :
"Tft file is file that has the file extension .tft. roms and firmwares have them and they are generally stock rom/firmware. You'll need one, for example "xperiaarcstockics.ftf"
He made himself that spelling mistake while trying to explain you...
so, long story short, .tft file don't exist in our Xperia world

The link provided is actually quite irrelevant because it's a custom rom as opposed to stock rom which is the one FTF is usually concerned with. Examples of an FTF file -
Xperia Arc - lt15
Xperia Arc S - lt18
The ones provided are quite large in size because it's got the whole 'Operating System' of your phone (So to speak) in 1 massive file which you then 'flash' onto your phone with flashtool. Here's a really nice visual guide as to how to do so

[Q] Links for Odin

I was looking to download Odin 3.09 so that I can be ready to revert to stock in case things go horribly wrong. But the thread that everything seems to point to for downloads appears to have had the download links removed.
There are lots of sketchy download locations out there on the web but I can't seem to find a good one on these forums anywhere.
I just Googled this--
Seems legit--check it out--:good:

The dropbox link you provided is actually blocked by chrome when it is downloaded as being suspicious.
And yes, I tried to Google before posting. In fact I downloaded a copy from one of the locatiosn that were the top search results and my antivirus quarantined the executable it as soon as it was unzipped.
Why is there no official site hosting downloads by the author?
Not sure of your issues--I had no problem using the DB link and I am on Chrome.
Also, I forgot to post the link to my Google Search--didn't mean to imply you need to go do that, I don't post that way--Sorry
Here it is, I just uploaded to my DB--It will auto download--

The attached zip does download without any problems. The dropbox link still does induce a chrome error:
Odin3_v3.09.zip is malicious and Chrome has blocked it.

Why were the links removed from the thread that everyone else points to?
Is there at least a checksum that I can use on this provided version?
That's up to dev
But, thread was closed which usually means links too--
Doesn't the link I gave you work anymore

Yes, it downloaded fine.
But I try to be a little wary of running executables downloaded from a thread with so few views (no offense). That's why I was asking about an official site, thread, or link with a checksum or something.

As I mentioned, when I did this, the the top result led to a download which triggered my antivirus as soon as it was unzipped.
Sorry for being blunt. But, I gave you a dl link in post 5. I extracted and opened it to the Odin screen. This is with Chrome on a highly secure company computer. No issues. So, I am confused on what else you want--
Forget about the links in the closed thread, it happens all the time.

I had d/led Odin 3.09 a while ago but forgot where I put it. I googled it recently and the first hit in google gave me the same antivirus warning. The second hit took me to one of those download pages where there's links to "Download" many things but were all crapware installers. One link said it would install Odin, and the file downloaded said it was odin, but it ran an installer that kept offering to install yet more crapware, and I had to keep unclicking the default crapware stuff like toolbars and such. Eventually it just exited without installing odin.
I then searched my hard drive and found where I had put it, a couple months ago...

So why is Odin this way. Why isn't there a main site where new versions are released? Why does it have to be passed around on forums?

Dude, don't download if you don't want to but it's what you need. Personally, I'd use v1.85. But I'm old school.

I'd trust @rugmankc download. He's a great contributor to this forum.

One last thought--
Wow I had a bad day and it gets worse--
jd said google and learn--
1. Samsung releases Odin versions
2. They are many places-http://www.samsungodindownload.com/--just one--it is also has other useful downloads
3. No one has "responsibility" to post them--our devs give enough of themselves
4. You can always start a thread--there may even be one on xda
Just read the whole thread @jmjoyas also gave you a link. Another trusted source in this forum
