Well first advice is to read read read these forums, lots of information.
Your phone has a quite old version of android so updating that would be a good start. Froyo 2.2.1 is the latest official which should be available in Kies for you. Gingerbread 2.3.3 is expected to be officially released for the SGS within the next 2 weeks. You can also flash custom ROMs and newer ROMs then Kies offers you yourself, but without 3-button recovery thats tricky. Atleast make/buy and test a recovery JIG before going there.
Then maybe slap on a theme of your liking and get some good apps (dont be afraid to pay a few bucks for good apps either)
Being bored of phone usually means youre not doing anything interesting or fun with it a phone in itself is only so exciting

well, there's your problem
I don't know how much you already know but I advise you to read as much stickies and rom threads as you can. After that you will probably come to the conclusion that you want to install a custom ROM. Do so and your life will change forever
If you need any help, don't hesitate to consult the search function (or ask here^^)

Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091

This is the place to start.
After you have read everything there, this would be some steps to follow:
1.Install ADB on your computer
2.Download Odin 1.7
3.Repair your 3-button recovery/download problem with Richtofen's guide (after this you can do whaterver u want with your phone, as long as you stay away from firmwares with bootloaders included)
4.Flash a 2.2.1 or 2.3.3 firmware using Odin (i recommend one of the deodexed firmwares from Ramad's thread)
5.Apply what ever theme you want
Maybe this instruction seem a little hard to understand now but after you've finished reading the wiki from the link i've posted, it will be more clearer.

thanks for all the replies I will start reading about what you guys have posted in the morning iam on my mobile now and it is late please stay in touch with me I will be replying activly and frequently thx again ! I will Risk my phone as long as you guys are here to back me up , I was afraid of applying the first 3 bottom fix as most users cried about their phones getting broken.

Being afraid in starting is normal .... but the golden rule is to read and understand several times what procedure u have to follow...and second imp thing is read n follow instructions provided in specific post.
As different rom needs different technique and different procedure.
Another thing is search youtube for videos on how to's.

Here is a link to custom rom MIUI 2.3.3. (I am not telling u to install it on ur device this is just for reference n learning purpose). It has all the instructions and also a video on how to install the rom. I would suggest just read the whole thing and try to understand what is involved in the process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
Once you done with it then find another thread of custom rom and read through it.
And even read the comments on different pages it is very useful and most of the questions are also.answered. Thats how i learned .

[Q] Roms installation based on 2.1.1.C.0?

I cant install any Rom based on this firmware..is everything based firmware 2.1.1.a.47....?

If memory serves me right 2.1.1.A.47 is a W8 ROM, though the 2.1.1.C.0.0 ROM of the X8 should also work (you just lose the "Walkman" specific parts).
Anyway ... a little bit more detail about the problem you ask for would highly be appreciated. We don't possess crystal balls to read your mind.

Actually it shouldn't make a difference if you flash from 2.1.1.A.0.0 or 2.1.1.C.0.0 (X8) ...
Since you're stuck at the SE boot logo ... two questions:
1. Does your phone have baseband 015 flashed?
2. Did you do a "Full Wipe (Factory Reset)" before selecting "Reboot phone"?

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...

[Q] Install gingerxperia on stock X8

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!

Is it important how did i send this?

change my version

Hey guys, my 3g doesn't work in my E15i with 2.1.1 and 015 baseband.
yesterday i changed for all four baseband that x8 have and still not working 3g.
Today i want to change the version. chage the 2.1.1 for the old 2.0.2.A.0.24
But i don't know how to do it? Anyone can help me in that?

Was it worked before, what rom u use? Stock?
If u flashed latest baseband and still not working, then it should be a Service provider's problem, call them....or just flash a another rom....
u meant u want to flash a rom...right? then u should head for General and search there u will get what u want. it wouldn't be harder to find...

I bought my cell, but not in my country. Like a brazilian ebay.
I used 3g before. Now, my touch was broken, and in the reppair they update the phone, and my 3g doesn't work anymore.
I have now those configuration that i said before. So i will change them to get 3g again.
I don't want custom roms, with versions of 2.3 android, 4.0, i only want my 3g back.
And the answer is yes, i want to flash the 2.0.2, but i don't know how and where to find
It's not a service provider's problem, i checked

If u want to downgrade then u need a custom rom like xrecovery or CWM.

After that flash 2.0.2 baseband from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976538
