See, Bootloader it's being bypassed, but not still done, so you dont need to bypass bl, to install custom roms, only thing you need it's install xRecovery, and flash through it, the rom you choose, most stable one, it's Cm6, Cm7, its still buggy, and camera in HQ dont working, hope my info was useful.

I'm gonna assume you mean root when you say flash.
1. Advantage of root: you can delete stock apps like timescape or that captive thingmy. This will speed up the frankly sluggish stock ROM. You can also flash xrecovery and a new ROM.
2. Disadvantage of root: Root voids warranty. Although you can unroot with SEUS at any time, so no real disadvantage.
3. Once you are rooted and have flashed xrecovery you can download an upgrade and use xrecovery to upgrade your phone.

just do it. you'll know the advantage and disadvantage later...
and if it's only about 'software' then it will always be 'reversible'.
so there's no worry about flashing custom ROM
Advantages: you'll have a massive smile on your face.
Disadvantages: the smile might start to hurt your cheeks after a few days.
I rooted my phone, now, how can I flash it??
and, which will be the best rom ??
thanks,

You would need to install xRecovery from the flashtool (before that you would have to allow root permission from the computer by clicking 'Check Root' on flashtool)
If you want everything working apart from Adobe Flash, then EW's 2.1 is recommended.
All Froyo roms in the dev section are stable enough for everyday use with full working camera/camcorder.
I'm not sure about the GB roms but the camera is not yet fully functional.
I'm gonna flash mi x10a; please let me know the links about how to use flashtool and how to install the roms .
thanks,

ofcourse it voids ur warranty.. but it doesnt really matter..
try out a few custom roms..some of them r quite spectacular...
mmmm nyway.. since ur new probably waitin til the official GB update is nt a bad idea afterall
cant wait till the official gingerbread release. and to see what devs will come up with to improve it

I installed the tw009 but it's consuming my credit with the 3g; how can i disabled to avoid spend my credit???
thanks,
You are asking how to turn off data?
Add Power Control Widget to any homescreen.
Uncheck Data icon.
Or go Settings->Wireless->and turn data off in there somewhere.

Install every Rom with Unlocked Bootloader

I have a question. i read that unlocked bootloader offers the opportunite to flash allmost everything. My question now is how could i imagine this. Could you for example flash a full (port)rom of the arc onto your x10?Or must there be a whole new (special customized) rom for it? thanks in advantage

Yes opening up the bootloader opens up more possibilities for our X10s, but we still have to wait for devs to port roms over as the drivers etc. are different.

As for best rom...try wolfs if you like stock, fxp if you like cm and there are loads of miui roms...take your pick
PS, best to unlock bootloader and use doomkernel v06 as well
I know that this is a stupid question, but what is the key of unlocking the bootloader?

If u had sim unlocked ur phone using any software on pc or tool then unlocking bootloader will break ur radio
Oh and if u unlocked network using setool2 then u can unlock bootloader but then its a different procedure

Here's one, works for all roms, it's the one I used, but you need to have your bootloader unlocked so you can flash kernel and custom roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500226
first of all thanks for the answer so quick.
but in the XROM post the user alifdroid says it isn't necessary to be bootloader unlocked. just use his kernel i supose to do this it is necessary to have the bootloader unlock right?
Now that you mention it, there's one rom wich doesn't require bootloader unlocked, but forgot the name, not sure if it's that one, lemme check
Edit:
Found this one, but i guess it's not the same you say, so idk if that one can work w/o bootlader unlocked :
Someguyfromhell said:
Bootloader can be unlocked only 2 ways. Service shops will likely ask money. Relocking is actually easier than unlocking.
There is only one ROM that doesn't require unlocked bootloader, Xperia UXP NXT.

root 5.1.1

Hi there can anyone help Im not new to rooting and flashing stuff its just my new sony experience came from htc one m8 Im so confused with this dual recovery do I need to root first before flashing this dual recovery? because on most phone just install custom recovery then flash supersu.zip and done you are rooted, I want also some custom rom can anyone help me? im on 5.1.1 d6503
It depends if you care about your warrenty and certain Xperia Spesific features
1. Downgrade, use root tool then use prfCreator to make a pre-rooted flashable zip to upgrade back to 5.1.1
(for recovery use XZdualrecovery for sirius
2. Unlock bootloader and flash recovery and kernel or just kernel with recovery bundled with
Notes:
- Stock based roms dont need a custom kernel (custom kernels require unlocked bootloaders(
- Custom non-stock based roms need a unlocked bootloaders

It really depends on your use
Example: i benefit from a Unlocked bootloader because i can flash androplus kernel which allows me to tune my phone in such a way to where i can get an extra 2hrs of Screen time
And you lose camera post processing and those display enhancements that make pictures look nice in the album app when enabled as well as some PS3/4 related features
In my opinion the camera looks better without post processing and the X-reality isnt a permanent thing so whats the point of it really
