Hi, i bought a SE Xperia X8 last year and shortly after i updated it to 2.1. Now is taking a lot doing everything, it was slow down by the time (naturally).
I'd like to start customizing it and ofc overclock it, but before format it or flash it, i don't know if in this case is the same... computer are my thing
Well, the idea of this topic is to find some help or guide to start doing this, I'll appreciate it
The SD is only 2 GB... I hope it is sufficient.
Sorry for my English, I'm Spanish. Thanks in advance!
First off while the 2 GB Sd card should be ok id look into getting a bigger Sd card. Here is a good guide that should get you started:

I've successfully rooted and unlocked the bootloader. Now I have to choose the os...
There's a ported version of Android 4.0.3, right? I searched right now here in this forum but i can't find it! Anyone have a link?
If not, how can i know what is the best os for me? There's a list of customs? I can't decide!

which kernel?
The latest nAa-ics-04, is in the requeriments.
I flash it again and is working, with X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015.ftf. But i want to install that kernel to use MiniCM9. How can i install CMW, the kernel and that rom?
I think i did it fine:
RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r8A029"
SOFTWARE AID: 0001
LOADER AID: 0001
FLASH ID: "0020/00BC"
LOADER VERSION: "R4A045"
MODEL (from GDFS): E15i
SOFTWARE VERSION: 1236-9291_2.1.1.A.0.6
CUSTOM VERSION: 1241-4077_R2B
FILESYSTEM VERSION: VFE-1-8_2.0.1.A.0.47
SERIAL NO: CB511R82AK
SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE
Elapsed:18 secs.
Now i'm lost... i don't know how to install kernel and rom.
Any help please?
alright then, does the loader version showing "r" instead of "R" after unlocking bootloader? if it is then you can flash kernel using flashtool, go google it or find in the kernel thread, the kernel nAa ics has CWM installed already on it, so if you already flashed the kernel you can go to CWM by pressing back button (or tapping on the screen, i did both of that) you can flash ROM from CWM as written in the MiniCM9 Thread, tell me if there's any problem..
Thanks! Now I'm installing it... i didn't know how to enter and if its already installed in kernel.
When i have all installed and working i'll edit or respond.

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"?

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..

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.

Hello,
Recently I get a SHW-M180S Korean Galaxy TAB. It work like a charm but I need extra features and a good custom rom.
I did a lot of research, even in korean forums, but I can't get much info on how to root and install roms.
- First problem is rooting. I know Froyo 2.2 is easily rooteable but I have an:
Android 2.3.6
Kernel version 2.6.35.7
Build number GINGERBREAD.UC27
Wich is imposibble for me to root. I've tryed SuperOneClickv2.3 and DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit with no luck and a few other with the same result. I know for sure it's related to Gingerbread 2.3.6 and didn't find a tool or tutorial on how to root it.
-Second is the rom change. I know that there are a few posts asking for this, but, I didn't find a clear and concise response to:
can I flash a rom for a TAB P1000 to a SHW-M180S???
I hope that some one can answer me or at least guide me in the correct direction because all the info I found about it finish on a dead end. At least for my Gingerbread 2.3.6
Thanks is advance...
Hi.

I've found a rom that is the last one developed for the SHW-M180S (Android 2.3.6 UC27) but rooted.
I have flashed it with Odin 1.85 wich is the one known to work well with this device. Everything goes well and now I have a rooted TAB. Here is the link to download it.

Now I want to go further and have a compatible and working custom recovery but I don't know which can work, so please, I need some one to guide me!!
Of course, I want also to have ICS and I have also foun a ICS rom for this device but I dare not flash it without warranties.
so if some one knows how to do it or at least a korean forum where I can find info, I'll be realy pleased.

I meant backup your internal storage , photos , videos and other stuff not asked you to make a nandroid backup. you can flash the kernel but it does not make nandroid backup so you just have to deal with it. if you can't factory reset before flashing you can do it after flashing.
I have provided you the original thread link . you should read all the stuff there. i can only help you if something goes wrong. by the way you always can flash stock firmware.
here is the stable High resolution 2.3.6 stock version.
