Right guy's,
I was asked to start this thread by Doomlord to see how many others are having problems flashing cm7 roms that contain the custom kernel.
When i flash the recent cm7 roms with k006 as soon as my screen times out or i switch it off with the power button(quick press)the phone goes into re-boot, it does not do it with the usb connected and my phone does not do it on any other rom even the cm7 that uses stock kernel.
I have tried everything i can think off to fix this issue from flashing repair with seus to using a brand new sdcard with just the cm7 update on to flash, i have run out of ideas, Doolord seems to think it is hardware related, please post if you are experiencing this problem, i am not concerned about wlod, this is a seperate problem.
When you post can you say which rom you have flashed and also which kernel, thanks in advance for your help, hopefully we can get this sorted.:

Thanks for the info xperia, i think it may be down to k006, the thing is why do some have the problem and others don't?

Hey smartgardens iv just had an idea cant beleive i didnt think of this before! Have tried messing with settings on set cpu? I might be worth creating a screen off profile and have 384 as maximum scaling and 245 as the lowest or even perhaps raise the maximum up some more. Perhaps your processor just isnt getting enough juice!

Just a thought, it could be that your CPU can't handle the OC/UV of K006. Try doing a clean install with one of J's stock builds and then install set cpu on that. Configure set cpu to "On Demand", Max cpu to 998 and then enable "On Boot"
Boot into XRecovery, backup the ROM then flash J018. If you then do an advanced restore of the Data only from the backup you should end up with Set CPU installed and set to run on boot.
Iv tried doing data restores from v17 to v18 and get md5 mismatch even though iv not touched the file name.

Once before I've had a backup that had the same problem, I couldn't even do a complete restore from that backup. There is probably something wrong with the backup that's causing the problem.
I managed to do a Data restore from J013 to J018.

sounds promising, ill give it a shot now, even if i was about to install it with stock right now
edit: i cant install the stock one, cause when i flash stock kernel chargemon doomlord provided for me i stuck on se logo
what strange is, that when i leave my phone alone it doesnt reboot, but till i use it a few seconds "reboot" 2-3 times, then im in system again and if i leave it "no reboot",
maybe someone can post how i can delete the following from system/bin/chargemon via pc, adb
Code:
umount /cache
umount /sdcard
umount /cdrom
umount /data/DxDrm/fuse
killall -9 DxDrmServerIpc
insmod /system/kernel/splboot.ko
sync
cat /system/kernel/miniloader > /proc/splboot/image
cat /system/kernel/boot.img > /proc/splboot/boot_img
echo > /proc/splboot/boot

Hi Bro,
Doomlord said you was having the same problems, i felt like giving up, no matter what i did the same outcome, anyway hopefully we can sort it out, let us know how you get on with set cpu.

Thanks for your advice, i have had a try of putting the setting to performence in cyanogen settings but it gave me cyanogen setting error message flashing up once the phone re-booted.
The thing is with vo17 stock my phone runs nice, i have flashed over that but got the same result, i have never tried setcpu, i will try your way later though and post back, thanks buddy.
guys some custom kernels (especially the ones ment for CM7) come with RAMDISKs integrated into the custom kernel and there is no seperate ramdisk available in /system...
so when u skip custom kernel booting the intended ramdisk is not executed and the necessary init scripts are never run... that could be the reason why some users (with CM7) are getting stuck when not using custom kernel for booting...
though the CM7 releases marked STOCK kernel should work... but even if those one are having the same issue then we need to search for another probable cause of the problem...

Hi Doomlord,
I have ran both zips that either provided boot with custom kernal/boot with stock kernal, the last time i used the latter my phone never booted, could this have done something in my partition on my phone?, other than that is the ram disk you are talking about in system/bin ramdisk tar, if so i will have a look.
What about the solution using setcpu, i thought the idea was right thats why the screen switches off and does not when usb is connected.
EDIT... Ok just started testing with setcpu settings/add profile, still the same issue, will activating perflock disabler do any harm?
EDIT... maybe you are right about ramdisk as i have not got one showing in system/bin
EDIT... I have now stopped the phone re-booting by flashing the 2 zips below, custom kernal is now showing in my about phone the only thing is i have wifi error, at least i have got somewhere with cm7 v018, the thing is what has this added to my phone to stop the re-boots?
To get wifi working i have tried the following with no luck, using root explorer copy and pasted from update v018 the kernal,module folder and the chargemon, the phone is still stable though and no re-boots, hope somebody now can work out what is the problem.
Had this problem once when I had the v018 stable and Gapps installed.The phone reboot and the problem didn't come back afterwards
Ok Guys i have finally fixed my phone, i have just flashed j's v19 with custom kernel k007, as soon as the screen went off it went into re-boot mode, this time i flashed j's provided bb52 using the latest flash tool, you have to create a bundle first, i flashed this bb 4 times in a row without turning on the phone, just pull the battery out, i turned the phone on and 30 minutes now without 1 reboot, hope this helps those who have been having the same trouble.
I have the same problem. Created a flash file with Js baseband in the flash tool.
Flashed it, had this problem. Smartgardens says we should flash this several times, but i cant see how that has any effect tbh?!

Well why don't you try it and post back, whats the point in starting a thread to help if you don't help yourself, i could not use the custum kernal either, as soon as i fladhed v019 k007this morning i had the same problem as you, doing what i posted sorted it.

you have to use the miniloader and the splboot.ko from z's incall volume fix kernel to fix that problem
How do we use it, where do we put it etc?
ok guys heres what I have done:
1) ive rooted my phone using Superoneclick
That worked fine....
2) Next I have installed Root Explorer
3) I have installed Xrecovery - xrec given super user to my folders( i tried the other one you guys suggest but it kept asking me for which phone i had and mine wasnt listed (x10 mini pro)
4) Next I downloaded and put the ROms onto my sdcard
I put on Srom-2.2.1 Froyo-v8.zip, slade87_MiniCm7_v15.0.zip (and the CM6 one), robynten.zip and Andread 2.2.1 pro v4.zip
5) Ive gone into XREC after Sony Logo and installed one of the ROMS
6) rebooted phone, either stuck on splash screen or in a loop
7) gone back into XREC and tried a different ROM
8) same problem!
tried all the ROMS, none of them will boot up my phone...
According to Superoneclick im rooted ok, even tried reformatting card and doing again...
None of these work...
Any ideas where I am going wrong here?
would appreciate any help
pulling my hair out
seriously guys whats going wrong?
ive reinstalled the rom from sony update service and started again completely from scratch...
I have done this -
Root : Automate Installation
1. Download attached file "SuperOneClick".
2. Enable "USB Debug".
3. Connect phone to "PC" and select "Charge Phone".
4. Open "SuperOneClick" and select "Root".
5. Wait!
6. When it is done, reboot.
xRecovery : Manual Installation
- Phone must be rooted
- Download and install Titanium Backup. Run it and press Problems to install busybox or you can install standalone busybox in market !
- Download attached file and unpack the recovery package in to sdcard
- Use Root Explorer to remount /system rw
- Copy the content of the package (3 files) into /system/bin folder
- Chmod 777 for 3 files copied !
How to use xRecovery :
- Reboot your phone !
- Press BACK button few times right after white SE logo appears.
- Use VOLUME-UP and VOLUME-DOWN to browse, HOME to select, BACK to go back.
Ive done exactly as above and gone into XREC and installed the CM6 V5-XRECOVERY ROM and the phone is stuck on the splash screen
im pulling my hair out now as ive followed that guide exactly with a ROM which everyone says is stable
I have an X10 mini pro phone, all rooted, correct permissions and cant get it to boot with any of these custom roms
please help guys ill buy u beer! lol
Probably baseband mismatch, for sonybread and andread u require latest firmware 2.1.1.C.0.0 AND FOR some others its 2.1.1.A.0.6
And some roms are flashed using cwm nd some by xRecovery....
Goto recovery
Do a factory reset
and then install update.zip from sd card

Hello
This is the info from the service menu:
phone software version: 1235-3411_2.1.1.A.0.6
File system: World-1-8_2.1.1.A.0.6
The ROM you linked to is the one I tried to install, i believe there is one the says for XREC and one that says for CWM
I didnt manage to get either to work and infact after installing one ROM instead of back button taking me into XREC program, it then took me into the CWM Recovery so i guess the ROM also installs that?
I will try to install this ROM you linked again, is this for 2.1.1.A.0.6 and XREC or is it for CWM?
thank you

It's for xrecovery, yes, the rom installs CWM 3.2.0.0 instead of xrecovery, but xrec and CWM are kinda the same, so it shouldn't be a problem
Oh, and you have right kernel
I guess nilesby has answered ur question, all the best for flashing!

now factory reset and installed that CM5 ROM and still the same problem with "slide keyboard message"
seems odd that i can install Iridium and not the other roms?
Is it because my x10 mini pro is a u20i model? or are they all the same?
ive seen a lot mention the e10i?

hi galvic
just doing that now, im away on holiday in a few hours so ill finish it when i get back
ive been through this process quite a lot now so i think im missing something. Ill have a reread through the guides and see if i did miss anything
My whole reason for updating is because my screen isnt rotating. It is stuck in landscape mode (some apps like pinball play in portrait though?)
I downloaded some calibration apps and it shows the phone is rotating on x y and z but the software doesnt rotate(the option is ticked in settings)
Is there a sensor for the keyboard opening and closing? maybe i have a hardware issue?
If its a hardware issue than stock 2.1 shouldnt work? Is it working correctly???
you need to have right Baseband version
Most of all rom need M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 baseband version and 2.1.1.A.0.6 frimware.
For SonyBread same basedand version and new 2.1.1.C.0.0 frimware.
i think that's why you have problem with keyboard and sensor.

thanks for all your help going to stick with this andread 2.2.9 pro v8
Excuse me if this is explained anywhere and I'm just to dumb to find it, Forum Search didn't get me the answer:
I come from the Galaxy S and wanted to install a more featered ROM to my gilrfriends mini pro since I bought it to her and she saw me doing rom stuff on my phone, but only in the last time I read of fully working ROMS (last thing was the cam) because I didn't want her to bother (me) with stuff not working
Now I wanted to install SonyBread, but I'M stuck at installing CWM... I used the apk installer, and the flash tool, but nothing works, CWM nor xrecovery is booting when I hit the back key at SE logo. When I'm searching for the chargemon file, there seems to be the right one there (code says so) and recovery.tar is present. Phone is definetly rooted!
What am I doing wrong? Is it just I'm too into the Galaxy S and just can't see the obvious? And why can't I find a clean install guide for CWM to 2.1.1.C.0.0? Most ROMS say they are for this firmware and have to be installed through CWM, so there MUST be a way..
I hope this is not a to dumb question (but I really didn't find any help through search) and someone can help me, thanks in advance
first Xrecovery via AAIS (search XDA) then install cwm via xrecovery. It's really simple, trust me
use flashtool 0.2.9.1 beta to root and install busybox & xrecovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10738287
then flash cwm:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105745
I've tried both, nothing works. I get xRecovery, but as soon as I flash CWM, I cant get into it...
I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105745. I press the back button repeadetly, but nothing happens for CWM...
I also tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106146 as it looks like its specificly for mini pro, but it needs CWM to install... how am I supposed to install CWM only through CWM?? This makes no sense to me I even tried the manual copy method from this side, but it seems that CWM doesent recognize the back key pressed...
I dont know whats the problem, maybe I try to recover through SEUS and start everything over on a fresh firmware, maybe some testing messed something up.
I cant find any information, if I have to do anything else for 2.1.1.C.0.0 firmware, maybe I have to edit something for chargemon?

are you sure you successfully copied those files to the right folders, and changed their permissions correctly? i suggest you to try again slowly, step by step with extreme attention
2.1.1.Clean.0.0 now has CwM pre-installed.

Jep I'm very sure about the files and permissions, even double checked them with root explorer and file expert...
Anyway, I found THIS and -for whatever reason- it installed CWM correctly, and I was able to get around everything. Up and running SonyBread
Thanks for your help, and maybe the next time its necessary, I'll try this 2.1.1.Clean.0.0 firmware. Sounds like Darky's Resurrection Edition for my Galaxy S, and this ALWAYS worked

Hi
I want to flash my X10i with a custom ROM, but I'm a big time noob. I have been digging these forums for the past 2 hours as to what to flash and how. Decided to flash Wolf's TW Gingerbread 2.3.3 v 4.0.4. But I'm not sure how to go about this.
My phone stats:
model number x10I
firmware version 2.1
baseband version 2.1.54
kernel version 2.6.29
build number 2.1.A.0.435
I haven't done ANYTHING with my phone yet. It is not locked with any carrier, or whatever you call it. I bought the phone. Please let me know how to go about this. I have downloaded the below from wolf's post.
Wolf_GB_2.3_TW_V4.zip for Baseband 71 (The ROM itself!)
FTF bundle (2.3.3 kernel and baseband .71)
Much appreciated!
..JusT Try 2 Help..
You better UpDate your 2.1 X10i with PC Companion/SEUS to GB 2.3 first DuDe..
After that download a Flash Tool and follow TuT carefully from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196808
Try it and let me know if you've any problem..
If your phone is 2.1, you can easily root it so you can install xrecovery 0.3.
Search the Flashtool tutorial; root and install xrec and then you just have to install Wolf's package trough xrec

How did you installed xrecovery ?
Did you used the recovery .apk installer?
Follow this process...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
1. download flashtool from above link.
2. connect you phone in the flash mode (back button pressed)
if needed use this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
3. root the phone again (follow the instructions in the flash tool exact way)
4. install xrecovery using the flash tool
Please report back if this fixed your issue...
Also, FYI... in order to flash 2.3 you need to even flash the 2.3 baseband and kernel... Just follow the dev's instruction (better use wolf ROM)...

Open flash tool in ur comp.
Just connect phone (not in flash mode, just the normal mode).
Flash tool will detect your x10.
Just hit the button "install recovery".
this will install/repair ur xrecovery.

Yes ! Whatever the steps he mentioned are all needed to be followed.
Also do a batery stats wipe as well, as it will solve a lot of problems in the future.

My personal experience:
Had WB 3.5
When 4.04s came out, did update to 4 and then to 4.04.
But had issues with Titanium Backup etc., etc. Kind of not so fast ROM it was.
Did backup everything, formatted sdcard etc.
Flashed 2.1 Generic
Upgraded with SEUS to 2.3.3
Rooted
Then did 4.0 and 4.04 updates
Did reinstall from market needed software, not restore with Titanium Backup (except some, unrelated to system).
NOW it runs superfast and supersmooth! I figure - thats how it was supposed to run. No ANY issues at all.
P.S. My battery holds 3 full days with normal usage.
does anyone have issues with lag when using live wallpapers

HI,
My dell streak gets stuck on dell logo and then reboots again and again. it was not rooted and was working fine on froyo 2.2 O2.
Ive tried installing the update package from recovery mode by selecting install update.pkg from sd card but i get an error saying e:can't mount update.pkg.
After searching i performed an memory test from fastboot; Sd card test passes but the internal memory test fails and gives an error: Cmd/Data test fail. a few days back my computer had a trojan virus and it was converting the folder into shortcuts. I dont know for sure but i think it could have been the cause of this problem as i plug my phone to the pc almost everyday
ill be glad if someone can help me through this. plz can some1 help me through this.plz i really need my dell streak working ill appreciate any kind of help... Thank you
Hi,
rename the update.pkg in update.zip and it should work.

The trojan you are talking most surely affect only the SDcard, a friend of mine had the same issue on a different device.
I would recommend installing a custom Recovery like Streakmod, flash 366 bb and a ROM like DSC, Longhorn or LXdroid, as those mentioned have the universal kernel that don't check the BaseBand.
Totally wiping everything is a must!
Flashing recovery can be done easely using the MultiFlashing tool provided in the Android Development section, so all this mess wouldn't take more than 1 hour (with reading and wandering if it's safe - it is safe, ia assure you )
Hope this helps/works
hey buddy, when I enter the recovey mode, and will install a new rom or another option, the camera button does not work. What can I do?
Thank you for replying

Well, i will update the first post of my LXdroid ROM with a tutorial, if you want a fully funtional with the least amounts of bugs i will recommend DSC ROM.
But this is not required if you want to keep the original 2.2 firmware, as almost all the custom ROM's that i've talked about are 2.3.x.
the tutorial will be written, Your choice

i think you need to replace the internal sd....
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Dell-Streak-Teardown/3512/1
once you have done that... just do the dell factory reset (white text black background menu)...
your phone should be able to start again

As far as i know, you can't possibly install update.pkg using custom recovery, you must install a stock recovery and after that you can flash the update.pkg as it is (update.pkg), changing the extension does nothing
Hope this helps.

you just need to change to anything 8gb and below for the internal sd... and dell factory reset should do the trick...
Thankyou

i am glad it is working again... :victory:
light keeps flashing mean your baseband is not matched with the current rom... you should do the upgrade... it is in dsc thread if you read it carefully... it should say something like flashme ... :good:
you may try other rom as well.. if you are interested.. such as longhorn, ics, lxdroid

Search the forum as there should be an article covering the process. In short, you either have to take the Streak apart, or cut away some of the plastic above the SIM card slot to get to the internal MicroSD.
