Yes, you will need to root you X8, Intall a custom recorvey, then Flash a rom!
I recommend Gingerdx 22 (New one is not as good as before...)
I'm new to XDA!
Please click the "thanks" button if i helped!

yes... you can't install a custom ROM without rooting your phone... try using linuxperia for stock kernel...
Actually u can without , flash kernel , recovery , then ROM . But u need unlocked bootloader.

You need root privileges to unlock Bootloader. It says it on the unlocker cmd file. "Getting root rights" or something similar.
Actually, you need to root to do pretty much everything here on XDA.

hey guys,
i was wondering what was the easiest way to root and install clockworkmod recovery on my phone?
i have realized that you have probably seen this question many times before and i apologize for that. i have tried searching for this and although i have found many results i find myself confused about which one is best and easiest to do.
all i am asking is if anyone could possibly post a link to and easy to follow guide to accomplish this
sorry and thanks in advance
The easiest is to flash the root package ( should end in .tar) into the PDA section via Odin with your phone in Download Mode

Do a search for cf root and select the one for your current firmware

okay so ive had a look the the cf-root method that you have suggested, it looks pretty straight forward the only thing is im not sure which file to download.
my build number is FROYO.DTJP5
if someone would kindly write down the file name of what i need that would be greatly appreciated
U should get a better firmware like jw4...
And cf root for it is easily available...
if my post helped, don't mind hitting thanks ;-)

Sounds like you need to reinstall the Samsung drivers..... but if it is recognized with the new room then do what the guy above said

okay so it recognizes my phone, and im using jw4 because there is no jw6, well as far as i can find but after pressing start it fails
i have no idea why
i dont know if this is related or not but when i extract the file i got from the cf-root thread it is not one that i can use in odin so i use the file i downloaded and it is still a tar file
Just put the.tar in pda and flash

THANK YOU!!!! finally i'm rooted, if i could press the thanks button anymore i would and thank you to the rest of the people who have helped me through this!!!
After flashing numerous custom rom, I want switch to stock rom but I'm too lazy to do it from pc and odin. Is there any cwm flashable zip stock rom? I mean stock, not based on stock. I don't want to lose the root access after flashing too. I really appreciate if someone give me the link because I can't find any. I always find either odin flashable stock rom or stock based custom rom, not cwm flashable stock rom.

idk
idk but i dont think soo beacouse i try to find it to and only thing is flash noting more for the stock rom
In the past i found a stock rom prerooted in a flashable zip.Search a little in forum and if u dont find it tell me to search
Random thought in my mind: Why the **** you want to flash the stock rom from cwm recovery.
If you're attempting to find an alternativr for Odin, well lets face it, mobile version of Odin is available, though I'm not sure it works on sgm.

The **** I'm trying to say is I want to use the convinience of CWM rather than using my pc to switch between stock and custom rom. If you don't get it, get lost! Don't even try to answer my question.

This is my understanding too. Bear in mind that as soon as official updates are released a developer here will make it available on xda. This means you often get updates before you would normally (because they are rolled out at different times depending on carrier and region).

also i saw lots of mods need deodexed rom, can i deodex my stock rom or do i have to flash another?
Once you install CWM, you can deodex your stock firmware without any problem :good:
No need to flash another ROM to do that.

Odexed roms work faster than deodexed. If you don't plan to modify your rom don't deodex it. Though there are many mods for odexed roms too.

The update is only for c5302 Sp models.... If you update your c5303 modern with .284 you will lose 4g connectivity but not much else.
