Cooking X8 2.1/2.2 roms [DEV] thread only!

tn9 · 3rd December 2010, 11:41 AM

Hi guys, I recently have bought SE X8 and updated to Android 2.1. I'm still learning android, because I had olny WM phones, but I want to help to develop a way to root our Shakira device.

Rather than trying to make a custom rom shouldn't we first try to root it?

yes root is an important

No. This thread is about cooking custom roms. Go find a root solution somewhere else.

No? We know how to boot custom roms (or so the OP says) so all we need to do is make a custom rom.

As for root, we have to start from scratch. And like I said, this thread is for cooking roms. Please don't post if you have nothing to contribute.

You know how much easier will it be to build a custom rom, install it , test it , tweak it if we have a root access.
Now if someone wants to build a custom rom they will have to downgrade to 1.6 and start from there
Also now xperia x10 has got recovery , we might be able to get it but again we need root for that!
Just my opinions

how to locate Bootloader? which file is the bootloader? how to decript bootloader and repack?thanks for reply

After reading the bootloader cracking thread in x10 forum,what i understand is Bootloader is inside nand which locked no way to read or write.
but maxfron was able to read the nand and i think they are searching for a way to write

Umm. You've got it backwards. If you've got a custom rom, then it is piss easy to gain root. Well that's the theory.

bootloader is the same in x10? or it will then be ported to x8?
