just extract rom you downloaded in folder xrecovery/backup on your phone,reboot your phone and when you open xrecovery go to backup and restore and choose restore...

When you extracted the file.. He created a folder name [GingerFroyo.1.4.16]
Just open this Folder and inside you will see another folder in the same name..
This is one that you should copy in xrecovery/backup/ folder.. this file contains 4 files..

Just make sure you have downloaded the new one. Extract it on your PC and you will have a folder named GingerFroyo 1.4.16
Put that folder in SD > xrecovery > backup
Restore and make full wipe
maybe my download was the problem..i'll try to download it again...thank you for helping
better try to redownload, and see what will happen

I just downloaded the file just now, and when I extracted the file it came with the folder [GingerFroyo.1.4.16].. and inside that folder I saw a folder again in the same name..
this is the folder as just copy in xrecover/backup
yep, there is 4 file..drag the folder again to sd->xrecovery->backup. and put the folder there. reboot with xrecovery, choose back up and restore, select restore->GingerFroyo.1.4.16. after finish installation, make sure u make factory reset (full wipe). then reboot.

[Q] Racht's Roms

Hi all this will look like a silly question but....
how do i install racht's roms?
´http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513
They're all in Rar format, instead of zip so xrecovery can't detect the files. If i rename the files to zip it detects but fails on install.
_I know i'm still sleepy but what am i missing here?
Thanks.
extract the rar..put the extracted folder in your sd card at xrecovery/backup..
enter xrecovery and restore the folder..
uhh thanks
Thanks. I also a bit new to Xperia X8 and going flash my mom's phone.

How to flash a rom ending with .rar not.zip?

I know how to flash a rom ending with .zip with Xrecovery but i dunno about .rar
Can someone please advise me?
Thanks
You can't flash that rom. You can only restore it from xrecovery.
You unrar it and copy the content to xrecovery.

[Q] My Phone Is Not Restore Up (MD5 Mismatch!)

Whenever I Try To Restore, It Does Not Happen And It Shows MD5 Mismatch! In CWM! :|
Help!
P.S.
I Followed Every Step Correctly!
what kind of CWM are you using, is it temporary?
or do you have a custom kernel on your phone?
I'm Using Stock Kernel!

let's go to the basics
first make sure to flash your back up based on the cwm used to back it up in the first place
second check if your back up is placed in the clockworkmod folder and has no spaces
if the above fails then flash the stock firmware of your back up then restore your back up
ex:
your back up was based on DXKL2, so to match the md5 flash DXKL2 and restore your back up
ps: worked for me
Try using Cwm by madteam..

can u open .md5 file n tell wats in it?
the most posible reason behind these problem is because the backup was not succes or there was problem with the sdcard. try to reformat your sdcard in your computer without using quick format option. after that try to make a backup and restore.
good way
