I need to know everything to NOT brick my phone - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, so a friend of mine just gave me this Xperia X8 (E15a) and Ive looked up some stuff I need to know before unlocking the bootloader in order to flash a different ROM.
So I am interested in this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188486 (GingerDX).
I would like to install it?
What steps should I follow? Where is the best tutorial?
By the way, will I able to do this without bricking my device?

You are safe to unlock your bootlader But is optional for gingerdx as you can install without doing it, you only have to flash the one that tells for stock kernel

Currently the only way you will be able to gain S-OFF and root your phone is to use the XTC Clip hardware device. All of the current software solutions will not work with GB 2.3.3 at this time.
My phone is already S-off via XTC Clip
I need now only root method ?
if it's already s-off, flash clockworkmod recovery first. then from cwm u can flash roms.
flashing roms dont need root.
Ok thanks

[Solved] I need some help for Rooting my Z3C

Hello all
I have tried with lots of methods but withoput success, even with KingRoot but nothing came out.
I found this intresting topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-...0-1-5-77-debloated-deodexed-zipalign-t3015281
But I prefer to stay away form flashing devices
Is there a way to Root (and maybe unroot, but rooting is more important) my device?

Thank you

so back in 2012 i rooted my phone for the first time..

And now im wondering if my phone needs a upgrade.
Problem is that i cant remember wich guide i used when i flashed my Note and the more i read the more confused i get.
Specially after reading about kernels that are unsafe regaring CWM.zip. I dont know if this is what i used on my phone so i though i ask here, hoping for a answer.
If someone would be so kind to guide me in the right direction i would be very happy :laugh:
I took some screens but i cant seem to be able to post them due to low post count
edit: uploaded them to a album on my profile

If you use already a 4.1.2 JB Rom use a PhilZ Kernel for rooting. A lot of sticky threads also available.

Help me if you can 🙏🏻

Hello to all,
I'm digging out a bit, but I got my hands on my watch again and I'm trying to find a way to fix it.
It is still stuck on the LG logo.
I have changed the battery twice, the charger.
I can access the fastboot and the Recovery Mode does not work.
Here is the information:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Do you think I can flash the rom, or is it dead ?
What is the procedure ?
Thanks.
UP. Someone ?
You need to find the stock software or recovery, unlock flashing and flash something.
If not, you need to get to the ROM bootloader. What SoC is that anyway?
