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

i rooted my phone once before but wasnt exactly sure what it did so i unrooted..
now its 2.1-update1 x10i baseband 2.0.46 kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #1 build 2.0.A.0.504... is there like a list of roms somewhere? any recommended?
Im using the blue sparks which i think is good, just read the titles on the forum posts and anyone that mentions a rom, have a look, they generally include screenshots and instructions on how to install

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.

opps...
corrected
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

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2
Android ver:4.0.3
Baseband:I9100BULP6
Kernel:3.0.15-I9100BULPC-CL332484 [email protected] #3
Build nr:IML74K.BULPC
I do not know how to root my phone.
I do not know what version of CF-root to download.
I need some steps and the link to the right file to download. I already downloaded Odin.
And i need to know a custom rom to put on it. Simple but stable. I do not need anything special. (maybe more battery and something that i must have on it)
Thank alot.
All the info that you need are posted here.
I understand that i must read to get some help. But you sent me somewhere that is not what i am looking for mate.

Ooh k Ntz tel me which version do u have?
I did manage to root the phone. And now i am using SlimICS. Thanks for help.
Care to share how you managed to root your device?
I did a search here. And i found the right CF-ROOT for my device. I used ODIN to ROOT the device. Then i used the CWM to install SlimICS rom. I dont know how to explain more. But if you search in the forum you will find almost any answer. I hope it helped.

First thing search for cf-root for your device. On the cf-root page you will understand how to identify the correct file for you. Download the file. Use odin following details about how to use it. Get your phone in download state. Volume down+power button+home button. Odin will detect your phone. After cf-root its time to install a custom rom. I use slimics look at the forum for it and the way to install it on your phone. I hope this helped you.

I found a easier, simple method.
root and unrooting without flashing unsecure kernal.
May be this simple 1 click method helps u
I just did in my p500 gb and now my using p500 with gtr rom. Trust me its so simple

Hey XDA Forums. Bit of a newbie here at the moment, but considering I have just bought my SGS2 from Kogan I have no idea what region my phone is from.
I'm looking for the appropriate CF-Root for my SGS2 on ICS. Full phone details are in the screenshot link below.

If anyone could link me to the appropriate CF-Root file I would be more than happy!

Ctrl + f and search for LPS. Follow instructions on the first post, specifically the Instructions - ODIN (long).

XXLPS is the baseband, but you have to look for the build number. From your screenshot this is XWLP7. Just search the the CF-Root thread for a version matching your build. Make sure your read the section Help! Which file do I use ? before downloading.

Ahh! Not i'm confused. One of you has said look for LP7, which I found. The other is saying LPS, which is also there. I am going to go with the LP7 kernel I found, but I'd like to be 100% sure that's the right one.

As already advised, read the section of post 1 of the CF-root thread that has the heading "Help! Which file do I use ?". It answers your question.
Apologies, thanks for both of you. Appreciate the help. Will flash my the kernel once I'm finished playing around with Google TV!

He wasn't rude, he was just trying to tell that you didn't give as much info as it was needed.
About your problem, download flashtool and download .ftf (I suggest Nordic region) and flash it. Everything can be found in dev sections, or in sticky thread in general section.

Flash it with correct firmware, get the fw's from sticky thread in general section.
btw. edit thread title to reflect your problem, as current one is so generic that it can be used on 90% threads here

What is the filename of the file you are flashing to your phone?
Did flashtool reported any error or everything went well with flashing?

Why are you sending PM's, we have forum, there are smarter people here and will solve your problem faster if more of us discuss about it.
First you said that you have problems with keyboard, then you said you followed this instructions: http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/08/how-to-root-the-sony-ericsson-xperia-neo-mt15i/
On those instructions I only see how to root your phone, which includes flashing MT11i kernel.
Now hear this. If you said all this info before, you would get your solution by now.
Flashing MT11i kernel on MT15i gives that error. And I would have told you that if you gave all the info you have. And no need to go around the web for instructions, everything you need is here, if you had checked this (sticky) thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690 you would noticed that flashing only kernel cause errors.
For start flash your phone with correct fw, to solve your initial question, then go on next exhibitions
And please use forum, it will be faster
nah sorry for all the issues and problems im done forget this thread please and delete my account im not doing this.time for a new phone.peace
