help I do not know what to do

sorry for my bad english

You should be able to downgrade it with any regular flasher for the x8. I did it too, when i was a newb in rooting and using cm's. You just need a firmware flasher and the x8's original 1.6 firmware. Anyway, that's what i had used xD

Why do you want to go back to 1.6?
If I understood you right, you have GingerFloyo right now, so you can also go back with flashing your 2.1 backup with xrecovery, or, if you haven´t made one, you can go back to 2.1 via PCC/SEUS.

so now i have 2.9 floyo however the bug there is also the in my beck up of 2.1...

again thank to all..
i don't know what i could make without your help

I´ve looking for a downgrade for my X8 until i found this post with some similarities mith my case, I hope u dont mind that I asked for some help in the post of someonelse
Well, I upgrade my X8 to MiniCM6-1.0.1 and to do this i follow a tutorial on youtube, but after root my phone and installed a baseband that ends in ...xxx015 in order to install the MiniCM6-1.0.1 I realized that my phone couldnt conect to internet in 3g mode.. someweeks after that i tried to recover 3g mode by installing Hackdroid Floyo 2.2.5 and I discovered that i completely lost conection to internet (even EDGE and GSM mode) and since then I´ve trying to Downgrade my phone with SEUS and PCC but both dind´t work
So finally im trying to downdrade my X8 with Falshtool but when the program is going to start flashing an error appears and this is what it says
ERROR - Error in processHeader
ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
Please could u help me to find a solution to this?
Thanks for ur time

Have you repaired with pc companion yet and why are using old roms?
Sent from my E15 using XDA App

Yes, i tried PC companion and it did not work y also tried to repair with SEUS but also did not work.
To be true i didn´t know that MiniCM6-1.0.1 was old... my BIG mistake was to follow a tutorial video on youtube to upgrade my X8 from 2.1.1 (original firmware) to 2.2.1 without looking for more detail information
When I installed the hacdroid version and after config the APN I was able to conect to internet just in EDGE mode, but one day after (and until now) I lost conection to internet in anymode My provider gave me some manual configuration and even resets my service but it didn´t work
Any idea to solve internet and flashtool problems?
Thanks a lot!

Dude! I had the very same problem as you when I installed MINICM6 back in August, and yes, I did watch that video showing how to install it.
But anyway, I repaired my phone and I'm on GDX since

Who knows Maybe we can find clue there...

When I said Big mistake I mean that i didn't look for more information about using ROMS i didnt know anything about kernels and basebands and looking in the web i found this amazing comunity and I'm learning a LOT about roms basebands kernels.
Well looking here (in the forum) i found a solution to my internet problem (actually I copied just APN type from a minixperia x10) and for the 3g issue i already changed to the correct baseband, tomorrow i will tested if the 3g is already working (I hope so)
And now i just looking for a stable ROM because the MiniCM6-1.0.1 is kind of buggy
Thanks to all for your time

To be a litle bit more specific about the error, It was that i just followed all the steps in the 4 videos of a tutorial on youtube, I mean I never asked myself if that steps were the most adecuate for my device (obviusly it wasn't) The autor of the videos gave a link with a baseband for a E15i and my x8 is an E15a and for that i lost 3g
And about the internet problem... until now i dont know what was the exactly error, I mean what could happened to miss the internet conection form one day to the next day... The APN that I configured myself was working in MiniCM6 and just for one day worked on floyo hackdroid 2.2.5 and next day no internet conection (SO WEIRD) and just copying the APN type from other device (same provider) everything works fine until now.

[Q] cyanogenmod 9 - V2+Alfs = Network Problem

After installtion of ROM (without installing other APPS for ROM) mobile network was working fine and I was able to make/receive calls. I used it for couple of hrs, the only thing I noticed that I was not able to turn the WIFI on I thought this could be because of other apps so I installed other apps. Immediately after installing other apps network is gone even if I try to search network manually it says "Error while serching network" and still I can not turn my WIFI on. Any one else having same problem?
I reinstalled ROM to check this and again same problem. No network & No WIFI.

About wifi, it's said in the first post that it only works with static ip, although there's a fix for that, so i used it and my wifi is excellent now.
About the network, i really can't help you but mine is fine...Have you tried to wipe data before installing the rom again?

This ROM need nAa11 kernel to work ot of the box! Why you need alf's kernel?

Yes I know.... but in developer's thread I found many people are using alfs without any problem so used this one. Just now I tried flashing nAa11 trough 1st post but unfortunately flash tool is not showing this file in available kernel list??????

problem solved with nAa 11 and reinstallation without wipe

[Q] No Signal towers after installing nAa Kernel an Gingerxperiaray v004

Tried to go back with stock kernel and rom connect to PC with pccompanion it is not detecting as x8 and it is showing drag the screen and connect usb i done that after that nothing is showing.

Use flashtool or SEUS. It should help.

Are you sure you did everything right in the bootloader-unlocking procedure?

What do you expect him to do with S1tool.exe? if you want to help, please explain in details.
Try flash back to stock ROM, use S1tool.exe to relock our bootloader, and see if you GSM radio is working? Report back please!

I lost signal too after messing up with the bootloader but I repaired with PC companion.

Wifi Custom kernel problem

Update: Solved (just reflashed the ROM)
I have a problem here with my X8. So, after I have successfully unlocked my bootloader without the network problem, now I have a wifi problem. So what I did was: rooted my phone, unlocked the bootloader, applied a nAa kernel (before that I tried the MiniCM9 with the ICS nAa kernel), then I applied the custom ROM called JoyOS... In both cases(ICS-MiniCM9, and JoyOS) I have the problem when connecting to a wifi router, I cant use it. I know it sounds strange but I can connect normally with the wifi but still I cant use it... I mean when I try to open google.. or use anything with wifi (like syncing) I just cant... it says unable to connect to the internet. I am thinking its the unlocked bootloader problem.. but I am not sure. Can someone help with this please.

Maybe just reset router...

lol???
Thats not a problem with the router... I am using the internet via that router writing this reply.. please dont be stupid and post something smart.
EDIT:
Still waiting for a reply.. I really need a solution for this..

Have u tried connecting to a totally different router cuz that may be ur problem, I have a friend who had a similar problem with an android tablet that didn't like his router so give it a go it won't hurt to try
P.S did it connect when it was stock?
Sent through my X8

it did connect when it was on stock ... and I am not sure but I think it actually was working a little while I was using the MiniCM9 ICS ROM and on the same rom actually the problem has occured. Now I am not sure if it stopped working because of the unlocking and applying a new kernel or something else happened in the mean time.. Could it be I disabled wifi somehow? somewhere?

What rom are you using? i only say that because when i swapped from minicm9 to semc debrand engine both wifi and 3g stopped working but when i switched back to minicm9 it worked perfectly again.
Try a Full wipe + wipe dalvic cache (or whatever it is) and install the rom again, hope this helps

Now trying to flash miniCm9 again.. we ll see now.. will update in a few minutes
Update:
Great, , just flashed the ROM again and now working well. Thanks anyway for helping.

No problem glad i could help

[Q] Data connection >> reboot

I've recently flashed Sensational Rom v4 and it was all normal,but today(no restart) it started rebooting everytime i tried to connect to data. I've read that it is because my cell radios and bootloader are of different version than what this Rom and i had to flash a RUU. But in the flashing the RUU guide it says if i have S-ON it cannot flash a lower version of hboot and mine is 1.31.0000(written in the bootloader) while the rom is 1.28.0000.
Is there a way to fix this ? Will i face the same problem with all the sense based roms(even a stock one)? Should i flash to 4.1.2 roms?
i have:Sensational rom v4 ,Prometheus kernel 678mhz, Indian CID
PS: i'm new to this
Thanks

Yeah. Try a cm10 based ROM.
Sent from my HTC Desire C using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

so the cm10 based roms won't make the phone reboot? the thing is data connection was working 1-2 days ago ,and i didn't reboot and no mods installed the phone and today it suddenly stopped working.
i'll try a 4.1.2 rom, but with my bad luck my phone has a great chance of being stuck to not having no access to the net...
Thanks

Since sense based ROMs are I think based on stock. So your problem might be fixed by flashing a 4.1.2 ROM.

after ~2 months the phone started restarting again when using data connection(3g)
any suggestions?
EDIT:looks like it was because of the SIM ,weird as another phone with that SIM connects to 3g without any problems
using:
minicm10
nope kernel 700mhz
Thanks
