@tonin_haggard

I'm 100% sure that restoring backups made by an updated version of CWM can still be restored. Perhaps the backup was not completed properly; CWM often does that. Sorry if you had to go through a lot of trouble.

@stefan2105996 (must be hard to remember your username)

I have never come across this error, ever. I don't think anyone ever has. After an hour of Googling I came up with several similar

Windows

problems. Most of them were a faulty driver installation. So I'm guessing your best bet is to re-install Flashtool, preferably version 0.6.8.0 because that's what always works for me.

And before flashing this kernel, remember to format /system, /cache and /data through CWM recovery of previous kernel. If you're still confused you may post your problems here, and I'll try to help ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] SDee96:
Not really :) that's my dob. Thanks,i'll try it as soon as possible and report back
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
Oh so you're just 2 years 1 month and 20 days older than me. Cool. When you're done, please tell us if you succeeded or not. Good luck ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] TAJ_Rocks:
Dude i did these steps

I installed jellysony rom on nAa jb kernel

Then i backup from recovery

then i format system, data, cache

But on flashtool i selected your kernel to flash

Im getting "drivers not found for this fone. Please install from Flashtool folder"

I did all but every time im getting drivers error:(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
That's not a kernel problem. Flashtool is faing some kind of driver problem obviously. I'd suggest re-installing Flashtool preferably 0.6.8.0 as that's what works for me always. I have not been able to test it myself, but CnC-ROCK has reported it to be working. Therefore he was able to flash it, which just goes on to prove that the problem is not kernel-related.

Hope this helped. ;)

When you are on nAa jb kernel just do factory reset from the main menu dont wipe the system, as oxydo is based on nAa jb.. Wipe system and all later from mounts when u succeed in flashing oxydo..

Report back if that works out..

Dont be lazy..

Hit the thanx button buddy..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
Okay.

1. Try on a different PC.

2. I'll test it myself today.

I think the phone's not recognized because when you format the /system partition, the build.prop gets deleted. But it still flashes the kernel to my phone.

I'll let you know how my test goes today. Sorry for the trouble.

EDIT: You can also try what Sidy says. But I'd still recommend formatting /system partition if possible.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
@stefan2105996

There may be an error in the drivers, as you say. I'm not sure as I have never faced this problem. Please try removing Flashtool completely, and then re-installing again.

Maybe the backup you're trying to restore wasn't properly created. I'm still stuck with the first version as my sdcard isn't working properly.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ->Sid:
I don't think that md5 fix will work for you as you can restore on nAa-jb so md5 sum is not corrupted, and as stated in the thread of md5 fix I guess its for corrupted md5 sum, so it must b because of different version of cwm or something else, well im not a dev so let's just wait for MEOW to figure it out...

I fixed WiFi but I can still see CWM errors. I'm gonna try compiling a new CWM recovery and then compile another one. Or I'll just use the one from GB kernels. Sorry for the trouble. Oh and just so you guys know, TWRP can be used for basically everything CWM does.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CnC-ROCK:
few Qs...since this and nAas is same.. just the recovery diff.. then why does directly installing the rom not work...

and the recovery was fine in V1.. what changes did you do except twrp and fps uncap for this version?......:confused::confused::confused:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
Well the users were complaining of a MD5 mismatch error. So I thought maybe using CWM 5.5.0.4 would solve the problem. Apparently it didn't. Also in the last version, the WiFi modules weren't being copied over some reason. It's fixed in this version. I think I should go back to separate touch versions (for separate touch CWM recoveries). In the next release, all will be taken care of hopefully.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CnC-ROCK:
ok..split em up..... check group discussion... and i am on ICS.. so if you want to make any changes to ics kernel..do it.. i will test it.. :p;)

I may include SW vSync in ICS kernel. There will be screen cuts for sure.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
Ummm.....screen cuts are super annoying actually. Anyways I'll include that later. Off for a round of GTA San Vice. Awesome mod, that is. Then I'll have to update the New-comer guide. Then I'll work on the kernel. Sorry, but I'll stick to my plan for now. Hope you guys understand.

The SD card format is a twrp bug, it happens very rarely, I had it once when I used jb-mini proj kernel with first ever twrp on it and one more user experienced it on the same kernel..

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
Interesting idea, but I never had this bug with TWRP, and I'm 100% sure nobody used more times the TeamWin recovery than me... ;) I used approx. 10-12 different build at least 100 times in the last 6 weeks, but I found zero problem with random sdcard format. But nothing impossible. :) If someone get this bug, please explain correctly what did when this bug appeared (step by step: do wipes or not, intalled zip name (with link), etc, etc) if I have enough info maybe can fix it).
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] tiestobunio:
So everything is cleared files, photos, a copy of the rom everything.:crying:

A program that would recover some files are just what I wanted to restore it half and half is not working. But it's also very much thank you for the kernel and for such longer welcome at the start of the format.

Nothing... Flashing kernel and power on the phone... I get this bug 2 times, but I flashing the kernel 8-10 times in one hour... Another users report this bug on hungarian forum too...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
Actually I had this bug once. I woke up in the morning and the sdcard needed to be formatted for some reason. And then another time, it would neither mount nor format the sdcard. But I'll still rule it out as a random error as the cause behind it is unknown (it can't be reproduced; it happens when it wants to). That's why I always have backups in my PC. But I still can't revive my 4GB sdcard. Not even the card reader detects it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ->Sid:
Similar to davee.. just flashed kernel and then rom from cwm, then latter after setting up every thing, I rebooted to twrp recovery for flashing xperiaS keyboard zip file if I remember, and the sd card was empty..

So I guess it happens when u get in to the twrp recovery..

I don't remember which version of the kernel it was but I guess it was jb-mini V04 with twrp the initial twrp kernel..

Dont be lazy..

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
Okay, to make clear situation, go there: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33981049&postcount=1 and read the first post carefully, you can read this in the first lines:

So, if you use TWRP recovery, at this moment absolutely ZERO guarantee for your phone/sdcard safety. :)

As I wrote earlier, I NOT have this problem (with really lot of usage due the development of TWRP), but I newer used this kernel or Daveee10's kernel, I use this recovery in my own kernel, in a special hybrid solution for all rom (now for gb and ics, examining the possibility for the jb too). I can't found any relations between kernel flash and sdcard format, but maybe possible. :(

So, again: the TeamWin Recovery is NOT for daily usage, USE IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
@pilu1978

That's true. That's why I ruled it out as a random error. It works fine. It's just that you need to have a sdcard backup at hand. That's what I keep telling users. Most of them still use it though. BTW, how's the standalone recovery going? And is this "hybrid kernel" you're working similar to the one I planned to work on (it can boot GB/ICS/JB ROMs)? Really appreciate your work with TWRP.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
I don't know really why apperaed this bug for several members, and why not appear for me. :( I use 3 card (a 2GB class 10 for benchmarks, a 4GB class 4 for developing, and a 8GB class 4 for real usage) but all working fine. :) Now I use TWRP as standalone recovery. ;) New version soon (in this week). And yes again, the hybrid kernel can boot roms with different API level. :D Now working with CM7/CM9 without kernel changing. I not changing the rom on my phone (always use own rom ;)) but I think lot of member changing her/his rom recently and they hate the kernel changing procedure when change GB/ICS/JB roms. The JB addons possible, but need to found a solution how to make smaller JB roms. I not use JB roms, but as I see the JB roms is a little bit undemanding, filled with lot of trash. :( For example: 14MB for a launcher??? Why? Filled with wallpapers in HD or higher resolution (I think for our HVGA screen NOT need wallpapers in 1600x1200 or higher resolution ;)). The google apps can be smaller (just need to remove redundant resources, especially the HDPI/XHDPI images). And found lot of similar wasted space (HD pictures in framework-res, etc...). Finally also working on a modular language system. :) So I think the custom partitioning NOT needed (and think it was the WORST idea in the x8 development section). :)

Whoa dude! I'm so gonna use your kernel (of course modify it to meet my needs LOL) once it's out. Awesome work. :eek: is the expression etched across my face, right now.
