Hi, i want to install gingerxperia (v25) on my absolutely stock x8 (android 2.1)
What do i have to do, step by step please.
As far as i know, i have to root it, then install cwm recovery (but i dont know how!), then flash nAa kernel v10 (i dont know where to download that) via flashtool (not sure how to flash the kernel) and then after all install gingerxperia via cwm recovery.......is that right (if yes, please tell me the exact way how i have to do these things.....also step by step please )
Thanks in advance
therefore there is a big button which says SEARCH and also a site which is called GOOGLE(search machines in general)
i know, i'm not stupid but i've allready looked for a tutorial or something, but i couldnt find one, and i dont want to brick/ruin my phone, so if you dont want to help me other than telling me to search for my self (which i already did), why do you even comment? I dont want to be rude but your comment seams a bit senseless to me and doesnt help me....
the reason why i ask this is that i really dont know and dont want to make a mistake and have a broken phone, for someone who knows how to do it, it wont be a problem to tell me step by step in a short way how to do it i think, and thats what i am asking for
Check the Rooting tutorial in XPERIA X8 Android Development then when you root ur x8 check the thread for xrecovery when u got rooted xperia whit recover pm me
Hit thanks if I helped!

I hope you got, that this was a thread in O3D Optimus 3D Forum... Anyway, if you want a stock Rom, just use R&D tool (use search) and read the first post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111771 and then read my reply http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22237122&postcount=449 and you will be able to flash v20x. Being noob doesnt mean u ll get a step by step guide, so do some reading pls. If you want a custom rom, also go to first thread, download the pack, use blackjack to root or search for root v10x where x is your version and then use CWM.exe (or similar) to install CWM or do it by RomManager! Then download a custrom from Dev Section and havbe fun
i dont understand , where can i find the r&d tool?
In the Package, I posted the link to above! Download the Package and you will find it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111771
ok i will download it in 5 min. What should i do with it ?
ok , so i downloaded open the r&d tool , but cant select anything why that?
im sorry for multi-posting but i tried and i gets the same , after i press the upgrade button , the lg mobile update support appears again X( X( it pisses me OFF it says the same thing , that i have the latest version (2.2.2) what should i do pls ? thanks in advance!

U CANNOT overclock V20n! You need Nova ROM to do this, and this is only 2.2... So better think about it again Root your phone now, and then install Zeus, it is v20n, but modified, to be faster...

Rom is a custom firmware for your phone...
Like the OS is for a pc,custom firmwares are like OS for a phone...
and in order to install a custom rom you need to root a phone and install recovery...
so you must start off with rooting...
I would suggest you to search youtube for detailed video instructions

no, it is new..the seller asked me if i want the 2.3.7 or the original..
i think the 2.3.7 is better..so, he change the rom and he didn't even cost me extra charges..
so, i just have to download new ROM only ?

Hmmm..
So its very easy for u to change the roms..
Follow the following steps
1.Download the rom which u want to flash(do not download rom that require custom kernel).
2.Place then in your sd card(do not unzip them).
3.Reboot ur phone and as the screen lits up and the sony ericsson logo comes,start pressing the back key multiple times until u get in the recovery menu.
4.Now backup ur current rom for futute use.
5.Choose the option "install zip from sd card" and choose the rom.
6.Wait for it to finish the installation.
7.Choose the option "wipe data" and then reboot ur phone.
8.Now the most important step.
Press thanks button for me
If u are facing problems, PM me.
I will try 2 help u...

why people always give an useless answer :S !! ofc i ready that but want to make sure of my work
check the battery numbers! there are many guides for unlock bootloader, if you read well you dont gonna get a hardbrick About the kernel, flash it with flashtool
What this guy mean is:are there any other way to know a date code beside look at under battery because for some reason, he just cant see it.
Btw,If ur phone dont die after u do it , i guest u have manage to unlocked ur bootloader.Use s1tool to make sure of it.

But be aware: Noone on XDA is responsible if you brick/destroy your device. Unlocking bootloader is one of the things that can kill your X8. So before unlocking pull of back cover and remove battery. Then see manufacturing date (example: 11W19). If its 11W28 or lower you can unlock it. If its 11W29 or higher dint unlock it as its 99% that you can kill your X8
