couldn't find a proper answer for this so started a thread.
hope i'm not scolded.
i came across some pictures of custom roms for xperia x10i (using this phone now not the rom) but totally clueless how to do it. can someone post a step by step? my phone is currently not modified in any way at all.
first let me say these guys are gonna chew u out for posting this in the wrong thread lol
next. u need to give them some info about your phone before they( or we) can help you.
like firmware perhaps ?
in any means ur best bet at first is to look into the flashtool program to
root, jit, and if needed. dualtouch your phone.
from there u can also install xrecovery and then build understanding of the roms.
its really quite simple. read through a couple of the rom threads for the instructions to flash them. or even better. go on youtube once you find a rom u may want.
and a visual explanation should help more understanding and show you how easy it actually is.
good luck!
First, you would need to root your X10i device (if you are on the latest stock firmware, use the flashtool to root)
then install busybox FROM market
then install xRecovery (a detailed tutorial is included in this forum, also there's a youtube video to show you how to do it)
after you've done the preparation steps above, then download the rom you want to use, save it on your sd card
boot into xRecovery and choose "Install custom zip"
choose your rom and wait
Remark: some roms require full wipe
you need to first do some reading to build at least a little understanding of what and how flashing a rom is going to do.
then from there once u have at least the basics, the people here will be able to help you.
its in the best interest of your phone just to make sure u dont do something wrong.
but as i mentioned in the post above. watching things done in video would probably help allot. people tend to be better visual learners

Please go HERE
To add/change almost everything you need more access than the usual and to do that you need root access.
What`s that?!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooting_(Android_OS)
After that you just had to explore xda. Think? You got it...
With the tool on first link you can do all the tweaks you need to improve your phone. You just have to be sure of:
1. What do i have?!
2. What do i want?
Don´t ever install ANYTHING without read, read, read, read, read, read and make sure that what you want to install is the correct baseband, firmware, blá, blá, blá for you.

so the gist is i need to root before i can flash then install xrecovery to install the rom?
can i use oneclickroot?
if you use flashtool you won`t need to root before flash. just do it

One of the tricky parts will be to pick which ROM you want to use. There's no correct answer, there. Look through the developer's forum and pick one that strikes your fancy. Vegan and TNTLite are both very popular. I'm running tjohnsonjr's Gingerbread with Honeycomb elements in it - one nice thing with that is that I've had none of the market problems I've heard others complain about. There are a lot of other options, including a test version of the popular CyanoMod 7 (the Gingerbread release) with a lot of honeycomb elements especially for tablets.

Your question was answered. Check the link provided.
Several suggestions.
Read up on the available ROMS before you make your choice They all have advantages and disadvantages.
Pick a ROM. Pick one that has been around for a while and is stable for your first time. Don,t pick prototype roms. Get comfortable with it before changing. If you want to try multiple ROMS. LEARN NVFLASH fisrt.
Print out the instructions and add check boxes to each step. The follow them carefully and be patient. Some of the reboots after flashing can take a while.

You can use GingerBreak to root your phone. If you need to downgrade after installing a custom ROM, just restore the NAND backup of your current system (which you should do before installing the custom ROM.) Hope this helps.
Guys wats a custom rom and will somethin happen to my phone and how do i back up sorry for troublin you guys
custom rom is performance boosting rom...
before u flash a custom rom u have to do somethings...
back up ur files and data to pc, contacts to sim...
all data will be erased including sms....
root ur device and flash custom recovery preferably amonra 2.2.1
then follow the instructions in the rom thread to flash it successfully...
So is it completly saafe will somethin happen if i mess up

Hey guys! I have a quick question.
I also have Android 2.2.2 and the V.10e update. In a famous german forum they said the p500 CANT BE ROOTED with 10e. Does it work or not? I am a little confused now... I don't want to brick my phone, you know...
yes, I am ashamed of my knowledge
and yes, I've read through a lot of articles here in the forum and this thread also...
EDIT:
Just for not getting me wrong... I don't want to flash anything, I just want to use root to throw out these pre-installed crap like xing, studivz etc. and to save my zenonia saves ;D
EIDT2:
In this thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=900905] it says the following:
su
Also referred as substitute user - is command for changing of the account in current terminal (usually black screen with blinking cursor). Default account is root account. So if you insert into terminal 'su' and hit enter, you will become root user.

Alright then... But my question was, if I could do this stuff JUST with ADB, so I wouldn't lose my warranty...
Second question was if there are complications with V10e...
THANK YOU
Your first question does not make sense. How does it matter how do you root the phone when it comes to warranty?
For the rest, it takes about 2 minutes with Gingerbreak APK on v10e.

I read (unfortunately I forgot where) that ADB-rooting would not affect the warranty (don't ask me why)...

Believe me, buddy, I searched alot before posting this. I just can't seem to find a way to install the stock OSPL back again. Now I am running HSPL by DFT. I want to install the old OSPL again so that I can have the stock rom(original). I have searched everywhere, but there is no post regarding the stock OSPL. Yes, the program for installing HSPL by DFT has this choice where u can choose downloading the HSPL or the OSPL. I have tried many times to install the OSPL, but I get an error. Besides, I don't know the right structure of this whole process; Am I going to install the stock radio first or install the OSPL first? And what about the Stock Rom, when do I flash That?
RUU stands for RomUpdateUtility =)
hello bud,
pay no attention to the "know it alls" who post just to post, without actually answering your question. Thats what the forums are for, developement and questions no?
But as an attempt to be helpful, what type of device do you have?
Have you tried just flashing the stock rom found on Football's rom thread?
If not try that using a "RUU" because from what DFT's HSPL page says you should overwrite their hspl if you reflash the original Rom for your device.

I have an HTC TITAN(EURO VERSION I THINK). I do have installed ultrashot's rom(dynamic's.......) i don't know what to flash first. What AM I flashing first?
where do i get that RUU? and what AM i overwriting with? I AM getting so confused :-\
You just look in the development thread and download any RUU, like ansar's for example. Then download the stock "euro" rom from football's filefactory. Then you simply put the rom In the same folder as the ruu, run it and follo the instructions! Good luck.
