SORRY! IT DOES NOT WORK!!!!! THREAD CLOSED!!!
Here is the step by step guide on how to get Flash 10.1 on your Android 2.1 Eclair geared Xperia X8:
(1) The first step is to download flash_for_21.zip to your computer and extract the .apk file.
(2) Now navigate to the market and install “Apps Installer” utility to your phone.
(3) Now connect your Android phone to the computer and copy .apk file to your SD card. Make sure that it is in SD card root and not in a sub folder.
(4) After this launch “Apps Installer” on your phone and follow the on screen instructions to install flash_for_21.apk file.
(5) After installation is complete, simply reboot your phone and there you go! You now have Flash 10.1 on your phone.

Cheers!!
This is very useful post.
But after i fallow the instructions i still don`t see the flash working in my browser i try to open vbox7.com which is a site like youtube and try to play a video but that don`t work.

not working XPERIA X8 2.1 with dolphin browser HD
it wont work for now....i think we need to wait for either a custom ROM or a rooted X8.....
sry but i started this thread just for testings......should i delete the thread?? or wait for root to come...??
there is root for 2.1 but i am not sure if this will make it works.

Hmm.. Does that really work? If i want to do that, how do i install 1.6rom on my 2.1 X8?
And does anyone break the bootloader for X8 yet?

check the links. no bootloader cracking has been done. basically, someone has pre-rooted 2.1 rom. to copy the rooted rom, 1.6 rooted rom required.
Yeah, but as far as i know, the bootloader has to be broken before any custom roms can be installed, ?
If not, i can install vanilla android 2.1 on the phone right? as long as i got the right drivers for cam and such?
I have X8 2.1 rooted Flash 10.1 does not work
Doesnt work on xperia x8 eclair. Get a job!!!

* I am not responsible for any bricks for the phone!!
Requirements:
1) Phone must be rooted
2) Busybox from the market must be installed
Busybox Link: https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox
Instructions:
1) Download the .apk file and install
2) Install busybox from market
3) Reboot and click a few times the back button to boot into xRecovery
*For those who can't install the xRecovery through the app, you may try to check if there's a xrecovery.tar in /system/bin/
Just delete it if found, so that you can install the correct xRecovery through the app

I have tried to install it with rooted stock 2.1. It says: "Application not installed"
How could it be the xRecovery with 425 kb while Xrecovery.tar file at least 1.6 Mb?
---- the file previous is not working, so a new apk file is updated ----
Yap, it's working.. I already tested myself
Update: It was working, but i reboot my phone and it bricks.. I can acess to xrecovery anyway, don't know how.. xD
I will try it if u tell me what's update?

Yes it sure is hard to move 3 files with root explorer
maybe not but i can't get xrecovery to work by moving
3 files to /system/bin (if this works) this installer is welcome
but i will wait before i try it out, I don't want to brick the phone a second time

I'd still install busybox from the market first, just to be on a safe side. That's what you normally do with xRecovery installation, and this seems to be only an automatisation of this process.
Still, good work, both thumbs up for the author!

i downloaded it and install there is superuser install but how do i know my phone is rooted ?? can u say how to use set cpu ??
To see if your phone is rooted, a simple way is to access apps like Terminal Emulator. Type su and you should see a pop-up. For setcpu, just do a simple search on the internet

if u have superuser icon just open it and check if it loads properly while cpu can be obtain by downdaling set cpu from market but i am not sure if it works with froyo or u might get kernel panic frequently so install stock rom try mik cm7 2.3.3 gingerbread or if u want froyyo custom rom go for any u feel like there are many in devlopment but i personaly like cm 7 and u can set cpu its pre installed in the version and u can set cpu to above 800 but below 800 works awesome and most games are playable witout any lag proceed with installing recovery

look somtimes it does happen just download titanium backup and check if it is getting root permission or not.try 4-5 times if it fails then let me know. u do have superuser icon in application isnt it.
here are the procedure to install gingerbread root.
-copy all files from sd card to pc(backup)
-now format sd card fat32
-place the gingerbread apk 1.20 in sd card.
-now enable usb debugging settings-application-development -usb debugging (check the box)
-install gingerbread apk using file manger .
-press root and wait .the phone will reboot if it doesnt wait fr some time and see -if it works if not remove ur battery and reinsert ,switch on check if u have superuser icon in application.
-get titanium backup as it will ask u fr root rights if it install than ur phone is rooted or get terminal emulator from market and see if that works.
-now if titanium works proceed with installing recovery and then custom rom
it is working in p500 some user in xda had confirmed it so follow instruction properly if it doesnt than follow thw long process of downgrading and rooting with z4root

Hello everybody,
My name is Leandro, I live in Argentina, so my english is not good enough I've a Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini ST15
Today I was experimenting with mi phone but I make a terrible mistake.
Let me tell us in order what happend:
- I had ParanoidAndroid 2.53 with some bugs tippical of a beta edition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963556
- I decided to back to ICS. I installed Cyanogen Mod 10 FPX 150
https://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/download/cyanogen-mod-10
However I don't fell confortable without a sock camera
- I download and install (with all the wipes) XPERIA Ultimate HD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991371
It doesn't come with the "boot.img" so I download KernelPanic 1.25v (I put into my phone via Fastboot)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861905
HOWEVER I didn't notice when I installed the new rom, the device I'd selected wasn't mine (I make that terrible mistake)(I'd selected "LVW" or something like that)
- When I ran the new ROM, the touchscreen didn't work but all the buttons worked fine. :crying:
- I tryed to back to the Official ROM via Flashtool, but the touchscreen continued with this issue
- I reinstalled the XPERIA Ultimate HD choosing correctly but didn't work
I asked to some people, but they don't know about Sony devices.
If someone knows something to do I will apreciate too much.
Thanks in advance!

obviously, I did that as I write in the begining, that's why I don't understand the problem, because I did all the wipes, put the same rom in the correct way, put another rom, the official rom, but, nothing happends, it's the same.
It's like I "change" an internal driver that the following instalations doesn't modify.
Did you format system partition before trying to reflash other roms?
Anyhow the touchscreen driver is in system/etc folder, the name is touch_nameofdevice.hex, if you push that file from a rom for your device and the hw_config.sh it should fix it

I format my phone via CWM y choose "format system", "format cache"

Try this:
1. Download that
2. Open the zip and replace all files in the bin folder with files for your device (!), for example from a custom rom for xperia mini
3. After pushing files for your device in there, pack the content again (the meta-inf folder and the bin folder)
4. Copy this to sd card and flash it with cwm
5. This could work, but I can't promise anything
Hope you will get a working touch screen again!
