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

I'm using x10 mini currently running on minicm 1.0.1 (Its clear that my phone is rooted and runs custom roms).
Now i wanted to switch to ClockworkMod Recovery over xRecovery.
The cook of minicm rom incorporates with CWM and has given an attachment of cwm telling to flash it with xrecovery. I'm unable to understand the process of flashing - whether to go into update.zip or custom.zip from top of xrecovey menu.
Please anyone suggest small guide to help me out!
Thank you.
EDIT: I flashed the cwm.zip with custom.zip ->Install custom.zip from sdcard from xrec menu And it worked !
I was just geting too serious .
Thank you everyone for helping me !

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) ?

And then when you are done, read it 2 more times.
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.
1) I dont know whether my phone is rooted or not. Can u tell me a way to do it.
2) I am not able too boot into xrecovery. I am trying my best to press back button but no use.
3) I just want to upgrade to wolf's latest ROM. And for that I need xrecovery working.
Thank you so much :d:d:d:d:d:d:d

Im pretty sure the kernel for the u20a is the same as the u20i, correct me if im wrong, but here is the default kernel ive got.
http://www.multiupload.com/UKWIV0GSTS
Just for my comprehension, as i am quite new to Android/Androiddevelopment: Is the stock kernel the one you have installed by default, when you buy a device? What's the benefits/what does one need a stock kernel? Is it because some roms state that an installation only works with the preinstalled kernel?
Thanks in advance,
aya.
Well I take it your already on a stock kernal, stock kernal is the one that came with your phone. What your reading is custom kernel, you need to unlock your bootloader first before you cam install a custom kernel. As your new to this I wouldn't use a custom kernel yet. Have you rooted your phone? Have installed any custom roms? You can still install a custom rom with a stock kernel, all the info is on the dev forum.

Ew. So this bootloader-thingy was the one where it's highly important to read and follow the instructions plus knowing what i'm doint for not bricking my device, right?
Yes, currently i'm on a MiniCM7 Pro V16. Currently i'm reading around, searching for the reason why i can't install a version 17-19, as it says "Can't open archive. Installation aborted (bad)", when i boot into recovery and try to install a .zip with version 17+.
Version 16 works fine. I also checked on my pc if the archive is maybe corrupt, but i can extract it without errors. Also redownloading didn't help.
Some guy wrote that this error can be because i still have a stock kernel. Another one wrote that it's probably because of the Clockwork Mod Recovery V3.x, as the higher MiniCM7 Pro versions require v4.x.
But the installation instruction says one should clear the caches and install the ROM to get the recovery 4.x installed. But i can't even start the installation, as it says "Installation aborted (bad)" when i try to run it.
So my guess was that this is maybe due to the fact that i'm still using a custom kernel, but i'm not sure. And i don't want to break my device
I guess you can try to install CMW recovery again since I've been always on stock kernel and updated every version of MiniCM7 easily, even the new versions with the new recovery. the roms don't necessarily need a custom kernel, there are versions for the stock one.
in the thread for MiniCM7 you find the instructions to upgrade the CMW, if you need, it's easy but read everything carefully.

Right so you have the basics of modding so may be its time to unlock your bootloader?
I've bricked my phone so many diffrent ways but I can always unbrick my phone through seus and pc companion.
Now I havnt tried installing v19 with out a custom kernel so not to sure if that's your problem but paul did say that it might be due to not using a custom kernel.
