- Thread starter pulpoff
- Start date
Rather than trying to make a custom rom shouldn't we first try to root it?

No. This thread is about cooking custom roms. Go find a root solution somewhere else.
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.
No? We know how to boot custom roms (or so the OP says) so all we need to do is make a custom rom.

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

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.

You would really hope the bootloader is the same on the X8. I don't think a bootloader can be ported. A bootloader is piece of hardware/hardcoded on the phone (IIRC).
Like I said, the bootloader is a piece of hardware on the phone. I doubt they will ever be able to write to it.
Of course I'm probably just an uneducated idiot, you can ignore me if you want.

What needs to be done to make a working ROM?
The OP states it has included the files to boot a custom ROM. But how do I use those files?
Sorry if I sound hopelessly lost.
Edit: Also.. Um.. What is a ROM Kitchen? This is new to me.
My questions still stand.
How do I boot a custom rom (assuming I manage to cook a working one) with the sd card using those files the OP provided?
Am I suppose to unpack system.img? It is passworded.
Would it help if I downloaded the source off sony's site? Or will those files you provided suffice?
Is anyone here actually an experienced dev and mind helping me out, or am I on my own here?

You are right, thats X8 JTAG in same pinout as X10 mini :
x10mini-jtag
Now we can bypass the bootloader limitation and flash anything ! .. in theory

I guess we will have a very interesting Xmas present if someone take the time to build a Froyo rom for X8

Wow, that's quite exciting! I'd love to play around with this!
If I knew how.
