DON'T FORGET TO TAKE A BACKUP via xRecovery!!!
Make sure you have the correct baseband number and kernel version (I mean, meet all the requariments the ROM asks) with the ROM you want to install.
If you have any other problems, pm me and I'll guide you exactly form the point you stuck.

well before installing custom ROM all you have to do is
1. reboot to xrecovery
2. in the advanced options, wipe dalvik-cache and battery stats
3. press back button
4. wipe cache
5. install custom zip > install custom zip from sdcard
6. look for slades minicm6 file and apply.
make sure you have the correct baseband, kernel version so you'll not be having problems

Hi everyone
I know this site for months and I'm actively looking for rooting and adding a ROM on my X10. But I'm not english (I'm french) so I don't understand all the things on this site, and as far as I know, if something goes wrong, my X10i can be blocked.
So I'm asking for somebody who could lend me a hand (I'm not sure about the expression ) to have root access on my phone, and by the way if it's possible, install a rom (Android 2.2 or 2.3 and stable if possible) on it.
By the way, I'm on 2.1-update1 (dualtouch I suppose) my Baseband version is 2.1.54.
Thank you in advance

Here is a tool that will help you root and do everything for fixing the phone in case you mess up.
Flashtool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Guide to Flashtool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10879507#post10879507
If you have questions, feel free to keep asking.
Already have a question ^^
In the Flashtool Guide for n00bies, there is that point I suppose I have to follow :
1. ROOT ACCESS
To gain root acces it`s quite easy. Just have to do this:
1. On your phone check "debbuging mode" on Setting > Applications > Development
2. Plug you USB cable
3. Open your flashtool and click on Root box
4. Wait a few seconds and your phone will rebbot
5. Voilà
When I open flashtool, I can't press on the "Root" box. The only one activated is the "Flash" box. I unchecked and checked again the debugging mode. Did I miss something between point 2 and 3 ?
Oh and by the way, for the How To For Noobies, do I have to follow all the points one by one ? Or can I pass all, and immediately go on the "how to root and more ..." point (5th post) ?

Then go through rooting and loading xRecovery or whatever else you want to do.

Thank you Hemal for your rom
I'll tell you the informations anyways, we never know ... so, Baseband 2.1.54, Kernel 2.6.29, and Android Version 2.2.3 now thanks to Hemal, Achotjan, and others that helped me ^^
By the way, I've got a question, is it possible to have a dualboot or something like this, like Windows and Linux on the computer ?
If you have xRecovery installed you can boot into xRecovery mode....then from there, do a restore or backup.....or load other ROMs.
You could have several different ROMs.
For months I kept the stock ROM, eventually I just removed it and installed another ROM.

Beau420, that's great, how can I do to install another rom ?
Hemal, you said CyanogenMod always has problems with the camera, but the link you gave me is a derivative of CyanogenMod, remixed by Achotjan with the arc theme, so I have camera problems too. But it works, and that's enough ^^

CM6 IS MOST FROYO ROMS 2.2 AND CM7 IS MOST GINGERBREAD 2.3
CUSTOM ROMS WITH CM7 GINGERBREAD STILL NOBODY SOLVE THE CAMERA ISSUE... ONLY TRIP IS THE ONE WHO SOLVE IT ON HIS ROM CALLED (MiUI "Iris" 0.9.5 Gingerbread!)
ACHOTJAN ROM IS CM6 FROYO 2.2.3 CAMERA SOLVED AND WORKING GRATE....
Achotjan ROM THERE IS NO CAMERA ISSUE...
YOU WANT TO INSTALL ANOTHER ROM....
THE LINKS I GAVE U THOSE R THE BEST ROM UNDER 2.2... IN EVERY LINK THERE HAVE INSTALL GUIDE ....
IN SHORT I TELL U..
01.DOWNLOAD THE ROM
02.GOTO XRECOVERY
03.IN RCVRY- Do a factory reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Wipe Dalvick cache
Wipe Battery stat
04. INSTALL COUSTOM ZIP
05.REBOOT
dats all
but AS U KNW INSTALLING ACHOTJAN ROM U NEED TO DO INSTALL UPDATE ZIP..... NOT INSTALL CUSTOM ZIP
GOT IT......
Yeah but if I do a factory reset, etc, I'll lose the old rom, so how to keep both in a dualboot, without deleting everything ?
When you create a backup of the original/stock ROM, copy the file or folder off the phone onto your computer.
I went through rooting and installing a ROM here -
http://androidforums.com/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10/371128-xrecovery-wont-install.html
I hate to post from another site, but here is what I did:
Alright....I'm going through the steps again to update my phone. Then I am gonna head to a buddies and do his.
Let's see if I can get this right.
I am going to load BlueSparks.
So I goto Blue Sparks and download the zip....unzip the BlueSparks zip and then put it in a folder on the sdcard in /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/Blue_Sparks written exactly like that (or it will give a md5 mismatch)
unzip the contents there (the .img file and stuff)
I then download and install the [TOOL] [UPDATE 22/03/2011] Flashtool BETA version 0.2.9.1 - xda-developers . I run it....click root and flash the phone with Baseband 2.1.67
Then I restart the phone. I make sure debugging is checked and Unknown Sources are checked. I use Adao File Manager and go to /sdcard/xRecovery I run xRecovery0.3.apk and I click Install
Then I open xRecovery from the app menu...I click Install and it brings up a message from SuperUser asking for permission. I click Allow.
That didn't do it.
I reset phone to factory default.
Started x10 Tool....plugged phone back in after reset.....turned debugging back on....and Unknown Sources. I clicked APK Installer and chose the xRecovery0.3.apk and installed that. Then I clicked Root again at the top.
Then I unplugged the phone and restarted.
I tried in x10 Tool again...clicked Ask Root Perm and it prompted me on the phone to access using SuperUser....now in x10 Tool I can click on xRecovery Then went under x10 Tool menu at the top and chose Reboot in xRecovery mode.
Finally in xRecovery. Factory Reset....yes
Wipe Cache Partition
Then under Advanced, Wiped Dalvik and Wiped Battery Stats.
Then in xRecovery I have to chose Restore and point to that folder....then it restores the image.
Reboot after the couple minutes it takes to install.
And that's it. Done....upgraded and ROMd.

Hi there...
Yes as Wolf says in his thread...
You will need any working room as installing Wolf's rom will pretty much erase and overwrite everything but I have experienced some troubles using any other room first...
So my recomendation is:
- Install stock update from SEUS, if you are NOT able to update via SEUS try Installing a stock firmware from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Then try debranding or re-branding your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824711&highlight=debrand
Then use SEUS to download/repair your stock firmware...
Latest flash tool will allow to Root and Install Xrecovery... the you are good to go.
Install Wolf's via Xrecovery, take out the battery and then flash BaseBand...
Install patches again and thats it...
Hope this works to clarify things up ^^
hey.... really thank you to come to help me
im really poor with this knowledge and im learning things now
What is SEUS ?
Is stock firmware install using flash ?
Why we need to debranding ? is it must to do ?
is this correct
1. install 2.1 using flash
2. Debranding
3. SEUS ( ? ) to repair the software
4. Root using flash tool
5. install Xrecovry
6. Install Wolf's via Xrecovery
7. take out the battery and then flash BaseBand
8. install V3 speed tweek using xrecover
9. install additionals using xrecovery
am i correct ?
please sorry for my poor knowledge im trying to learning things
thank you so much
if u have stock firmware u can install using Flash or else use SEUS(Sony Ericsson Update Service)
.. and ya ur steps are correct !!!
hope it works!!
jus thank me if i help ya out !! lol
HI. I have a similar query. I upgraded to GB from DooMLoRD's guide.

Hi and welcome to X10 XDA first of all There are few steps you got to get through for safer flashing.
1)Update to OFFICIAL 2.3.3Gingerbread using latest SEUS/PC Companion by Sony to get Baseband 2.1.71 and Stock SEMC Kernel
2)Get Flashtool [newest or Older version] to Root your X10
3)INstalling Xrecovery [Optional but got benefits if you installed it]
4)[MUST]Using S1Tool, Check your SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE whether Setool2 or SemC. If one of two certificate is there, safe to unlock Bootloader. If No simlock certificate found, might be risky/problematic in unlocking bootloader process.
5)Download Necessary FTF files(called Flashtool Firmware) and ROM.Zip Files from the link of your desired ROM [To get Custom Kernel and CWM recovery flashing]
6)Unlocking Bootloader using Flashtools/Unlocking tools by senior 9luka5 [IF SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE FOUND] and Flash custom kernels, get to CWM recovery and flash ROM.zip..then reboot. First boot is longer abit, and if successful, will lead you to setup guide / homescreen.
Extra: If you wanna understand how things work or be done, you can visit my signature link for more reading materials. Although methods are older version abit, but trusted and Safer. Hope Helps. Cheers and Goodluck

dude, u got high expectation lol. u just bought the phone and u want to install the latest rom. possible.
ASK SOMEONE EXPERIENCED TO HELP YOU WITH THIS PROCESS. YOU CANT DO IT ALONE IF YOU JUST BOUGHT THE PHONE:
1) flash 2.1 stock rom
2) use z4root app to root ur phone
3) install busybox
4) unlock bootlaoder
5) install xRecovery
6) boot into xPrecovery
7) wipe date, cache, dalvik
8) fix permissions
9) install custom zip
10) choose the downlaoded zip file
11) flash the kernel and baseband files needed for ur rom (most likely two separate .ftf files: one for kernel one for baseband) using flashtool

This should be in the Q&A section, and what is really good really depends on what you want from your phone. Not sure if you couldn't find anything, or didn't like what you did find...
Well, as I said, I want the best one, faster, less bugs, etc... As there is GingerDx v31 for x8, it's pretty good

Start with this one, it's the last MiniCM7 by nAa which ran on stock kernel, based on Gingerbread 2.3.5.

Get this (ClockWorkMod) and put it on your sd-card
Put the ROM on your sd-card too
Get flashtool (It's in the first post in the x10mini dev section)
Install it
If you do NOT have Sony Update Service or PC Companion then:
Install flashtool-drivers from the drivers subfolder and choose E10i Xperia X10Mini
Press the Padlock button in flashtool, this will root your phone
Press the Swiss flag (Plus) button in flashtool, this will install xRecovery
Choose Tools - Reboot - Recovery - Reboot default recovery
On your phone: Choose 'Install zip from sd-card' - Choose custom zip
Select CWM-recovery-3.2.0.0-r3-x10mini-Amend.zip
Select yes
Reboot your phone and press the back-button repeatedly just before and when the sony ericsson logo appears.
Choose backup and restore - backup (This will back up your current system and data so you can get it back later should you want to)
Choose Install zip from sd-card - Choose custom zip
Select MiniCM7-2.0.7.zip
Select yes
Do: Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
In the advanced submenu: Wipe Dalvik-cache
Reboot the phone and enjoy your new ROM
(You will have lost all your user-data so maybe it's a good idea to back up at least your contact-list to sd-card, which can be done when you enter the contacts app and press the menu-button, it will create a file on your sd-card that you can import again later.)

Oh.. and I think you need to find Google Apps for Gingerbread too if you want the play-store, flash them the way you flash the ROM,
Okay, I'll do it tomorrow. Thank you a lot for your help.

There is actually a custom ROM that does not require a unlocked bootloader, it runs with stock kernel. It is called MiniCM7Pro by BPaul. Google it.
