colossus.
So, due to the huge amount of threads with information for the X8 I found, I think getting the info you need is pretty confusing.
Not saying that this is THE guide for everything, but it should sum it all up nicely.
A Warning
First off, let me start by saying that if you don't think you need rooting, don't root.
It can be dangerous if done wrong, so be sure you know what you're doing.
With that out of the way, let's get going then.
Updates and Basebands
First, before you do anything else, you need to update your phone using PC Companion (download here: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/pccompanion/xperiax8?cc=us&lc=en). PC Companion will guide you right through all the steps for updating.
The latest version is 2.1.1.A.0.6, and the latest baseband is M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015.
You can check your version by going to Settings -> About Phone.
If you are already running a custom ROM, you should update using PC Companion too, because some roms (like MiniCM) need the latest official version.
Advanced
If you need basebands for your X8, here's a helpful thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976538
Flash them with FlashTool.
Rooting
This is very simple to do, really.
First, download SuperOneClick (thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682) and place it on your desktop.
Next, on your phone, go to Settings -> Applications and enable Unknown Sources. Next, go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and enable USB debugging.
You also need the proper USB drivers. To check if you have them, start SuperOneClick.exe and click Driver Check. If the driver check fails, update your phone with PC Companion.
Now, connect your USB cable from your X8 to your computer. When connected it is VERY IMPORTANT to select CHARGE PHONE. Really, I can't stress this enough.
Start SuperOneClick.exe and just click ROOT. Everything should go normally. You might get a message asking you if your OS is 2.0 or higher, just go ahead and click Yes.
You should now be rooted!
xRecovery
YOU MUST BE ROOTED TO DO THIS
Installing xRecovery is the first step in the world of custom ROMs. Installing xRecovery also means if you are stuck in a bootloop, you can just recover to a working backup.
The first step is to download xRecovery mini-beta 0.1 (any other version WILL NOT work on your X8) (download HERE: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8AJTKDTQ).
Next, download Root Explorer (download HERE: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LGC110EX).
Copy both the xRecovery folder and the Root Explorer .apk to your SD card.
Install any file manager from the Android Market (I recommend OI File Manager or Astro) and use it to browse to the Root Explorer .apk file and install it.
Run Root Explorer, browse to the xRecovery folder and copy the 3 files inside onto the /system/bin folder.
xRecovery is installed. To start xRecovery you press the Back button while the Sony Ericsson logo is showing during boot. Restart your phone and just keep pressing the Back button.
To move around in xRecovery you use the volume buttons, to select an item you press the Home button (the middle one), and to go back you press the Back button. Go ahead and make a backup of your current system (make sure you have at least 300MB of free space on your SD card.
You'll find the backup you just made in the xRecovery/backup folder. Name it something you can identify (don't use spaces). Copy that backup onto somewhere safe on your PC.
Backups are REALLY important, don't be a lazy bum.
So, you bricked your phone.
Don't panic, don't worry, everything is going to be alright. If you have xRecovery installed, just recover the latest backup you made. That simple. If, however, you DON'T have xRecovery installed, we can still recover your dear phone, don't worry
Using PC Companion: Connect your phone to your PC and turn it on. Look around the update phone section of PC Companion for an option called "Repair your phone". Just follow the steps and your phone will be in working order pretty soon
That's about it, I'll probably add a section for custom ROMs in the future, with links to ROMs I recommend.
So, if you have any questions, feel free to post below
Custom ROMs
Alright, when it comes to custom ROMs, it's mainly personal preference. I'll list some ROMs I've tried (and recommend)
For Beginners!
If you're flashing your first custom ROM, and you want a ROM that you can use daily, miniCM is probably your best option. I have tested and can vouch for both of these ROMs.
Floyo 2.2.1 miniCM 1.0.0RC2 by ponanovn (CyanogenMod 6): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964223
Really simple ROM, basically everything you need to get started in the custom ROM world. The fact that it has CyanogenMod 6 is kind of a disadvantage comparing to for example, Racht's or Jerpelea's ROMs (they use CyanogenMod 7).
It features dualtouch which means pinch zoom is working. To activate it, put one finger on the screen then another finger. Then spread your fingers. The SD Card safe to remove bug is finally fixed with the latest revision!
Not working: Compass isn't working, some Bluetooth headsets are bugged.
Rating: [ ]
Floyo 2.2.1 miniCM by lizypen (CyanogenMod 6): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036335
Very easy and very smooth, a perfect ROM for beginners! Battery life is better then average, because it isn't overclocked to an extreme level. Like Ponanovn's rom, it uses CM6.
Not working: Same as ponanovn's miniCM.
Rating: [ ]
More advanced ROMs
These use CyanogenMod 7, and the reason why I say these are more advanced ROMs are that they need a little more configuration to get up and running then these miniCM roms.
Racht's HackDroid GingerBread (CyanogenMod 7): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513
Racht is an amazing cooker, and it really shines through in this ROM. This features GingerBread (Android 2.3.3). It's really nice, it just takes a little bit more configuration.
UPDATE 25/04: Racht updated his rom! No more SD-Card safe to remove crashes, which also means this is the most stable rom to date. Thanks Racht!
Not working: Camera.
Rating: [ ]
I'll add a review of Jerpelea's ROM when I have used it for a little longer
Time for FAQs!
Frequently Asked Questions
This section will (hopefully) answer all your questions related with the X8. If you still have any doubts, go ahead and post here, or send me a PM.
SuperOneClick is stuck at "Waiting for device"!
This is most likely caused by the lack of USB drivers for your X8. Go ahead and click Driver Check in SuperOneClick. If the window that pops up says "No issues found!" the problem is NOT your USB drivers. Otherwise, download PC Companion (which comes with the USB drivers for the X8) right here. Install PC Companion and give your PC a reboot.
I'm working on this section whenever I have time, which doesn't happen a lot, because of school.
This Guide brings you all the a list of all the ROM's floating in this forum.

I decided to make a thread for those who cannot get their X10minipro running custom ROMs and unleashing its full potential because my inbox is almost full
Summary:
-Android Dictionary
-Rooting guide
-Installing recovery
-Available ROMs for X10mini pro
-Reference for Custom Rom/Kernels
-Bootloader unlocking
-Custom Kernel installation
-A thread for queries
SO LETS GO!
If you are new to ANDROID world then you might have to give some time reading the ANDROID DICTIONARY.
CREDITS TO nico444164 FOR THE INTENSIVE THREAD
FIRST- ROOTING
-Rooting your device means obtaining “superuser” rights and permissions to your Android’s software. With these elevated user privileges, you gain the ability to load custom software (ROM’s), install custom themes, increase performance, increase battery life, and the ability to install software that would otherwise cost extra money (ex: WiFi tethering). Rooting is essentially “hacking” your Android device. In the iPhone world, this would be the equivalent to “Jailbreaking” your phone.
For x10 mini pro there are lots of ways to root this device but I will just be displaying here the simplest way (I GUESS )
Here is what you need to do:
-fresh x10 mini pro
-USB cable
-Desktop/Laptop computer
-Super one click app
-Hands and mighty heart
Steps:
1. Download Superoneclick app FROM THIS THREAD (I recommend 1.9.5)
2. Install the app ( there are some cases that the app needs some specific drivers for it to recognize you device)
-Driver are here. CREDITS TO CLShortFuse for the excellent app.
3.Install the app to your computer. And then open it.
NOW IS THE NICE EXPERIENCE
4.On your mini pro make sure to put it in debugging mode
-To debug go to settings-->application-->development-->tick USB debugging
5. Connect your phone to the computer using the USB cable
-MAKE SURE NOT TO MOUNT THE SD CARD
6.After the connection look into the superoneclick app and click "ROOT"
7.The app will run and after it finishes it will ask for testing ROOT ACCESS.
Allow it and if it says successful then WALLLLA! you mini pro is now rooted Congrats!
NEXT-RECOVERY
In Android, recovery refers to the dedicated, bootable partition that has the recovery console installed. A combination of key presses (or instructions from a command line) will boot your phone to recovery, where you can find tools to help repair (recover) your installation as well as install official OS updates. Because Android is open and has the recovery source code available, building a customized version with more and different options is relatively easy as well.
Things to do:
-mini pro
-USB cable
-Computer desktop
-xrecovery manual installer
-Root explorer app
-GUTS
Steps:
1. Download xrecovery manual installer HERE!
2. Extract the downloaded file on your desktop
3. Connect mini pro to the computer (SD mounted)
4. Copy 3 files on the root of your sd card
5. Disconnect phone
6. Locate the files on your phone using ROOT explorer
-in case you have no root explorer download it HERE!
-using root explorer you can navigate to the system folder of your phone\
7. Copy 3 files to the /system/bin/ folder
8. make sure to hit the correct permission
-correct permission is permission 777
-To change permission just long press on the files and navigate to "permissions"
PERMISSION 777
* * *
* * *
* * *
(all checkboxes should be checked)
9. after doing steps 1 to 8 WALLLLA! you now have xrecovery.
10.To check if you installed xrecovery successfully turn off your mini pro. Note: Turn if on continuously press the back button and you should be booted to the recovery console. Congrats!
for XRECOVERY CREDITS TO zdzihu
NOTE:XRECOVERY by the way is the recovery intended for x10 family only.
If you guys DO WANT to install custom ROMs which needs CWM but does not want to unlock the bootloader just to have CWM. You can check this TUT for the nice CWM installation.
(NOTE: There are some ROMs that needs CWM [not xrecovery] to be successfully installed)

CUSTOM KERNEL BOOTLOADER UNLOCKING

Some users actually asked why do they have to have a custom kernel. Custom kernel is just like a gate to a greener place. Basic features of have custom kernel are (e.g. Undervolting UV) If you have custom kernel you are actually freeing your device from its cage.
Here's the list to have:
-Computer
-USB cable
-X10 mini pro
-Kernel file (.ftf file)(this file is available to the threads of the kernels that you want.
-xperia flash tool
-Hands and HEART!
Steps:
1. Download the files that are needed ( e.g flashtool and .ftf file)
-You can get the flashtool from HERE! (the tool is capable of many things like flashing kernels and firmwares) CREDITS TO[/B] Bin4ry and Androxyde for the nice tools
-I highly recommend the latest version of the flashtool. Or if you wanted to be sure what flashtool you need to use just use the flashtool which was tested to be working on mini pro. GET IT HERE!
NOTE: You need to install first the flashtool 0.8.0.0 package before installing the latest version.
-With regards to the .ftf file (kernel) you can get it from the thread of some available kernels for mini pro ( in my case I use nAa's work)
2.Install the downloaded flashtool to your computer
3.After the installation the flashtool will automatically create a directory
-c:/flashtool/firmwares and c:/flashtool/drivers
4.You need to go to c:/flashtool/drivers and double click there ggsetup-2.2.0.10.exe (those are drivers for the flashtool)
5.After installing drivers you need to put the kernel (.ftf file) to c:/flashtool/firmwares. The reason for this is for the flashtool to automatically detect the file during the flashing.
6. Open the flashtool program and you should see this.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
7.Click the lightning sign (flash) and then you should see this.
8.Choose the file that you put to the c:/flashtool/firmwares directory [it should have (U20i) on the first part]
9.Click OK
10.Now leave the program and start connecting the USB cable FIRST on your computer then next HOLD the back button of your mini pro (NOTE: HOLD IT TIGHTLY) and then connect the USB cable to your mini pro.
11.The flashtool will automatically detect the mini pro YES IT WILL because of the drivers you installed a while ago.
12.You need to make sure that you keep an eye of the flashtool
13.After the flashing, disconnect your phone and turn it on.
14.I KNOW WHAT YOU FEEL FROM THIS MOMENT. NERVOUS ! hahaha!
15.Mate that is fine, the booting process will take long because I think the system is remaking its cache.
16. After doing all the steps WALLLLA! you just installed a custom kernel! CONGRATS!
17.To check if you successfully installed the kernel go to settings-->about phone and see there your kernel version.

No, the steps to take to root, install recovery, flash and so on are the same for both devices, but the kernels and roms listed are ONLY for the x10MiniPRO.
For the X10 you can look in the x10-Mini development section.
Only 3 custom kernels to choose from (Fa Kernel, nAa-kernel for Gingerbread and nAa-kernel for ICS)
All Gingerbread-Roms for the X10Mini require a custom kernel (Either Fa-kernel or nAa-GB kernel)
The AOKP and MIUI4 ports for the X10Mini are ICS based but run on the nAa-GB Kernel
MiniCM9 which is ICS-based only runs on the nAa-ICS kernel.
So, apart from choosing the roms and kernels for the x10mini yourself, you can follow all other steps in this tutorial.
i tried to root. when i click root. the program freezes after some steps and then nothing! what shall i do?
.NET framework checked!

on the earlier age of x10 MP cwm is present just by installing custom ROM even without custom kernel
before we were able to use CWM without any custom kernel.
for thoses who want to only install rom using custom kernel don't need to install a recovery

AIR is a super script based on aroma, it is including Simplify System, Update Apps, Flash ROM (About 630MB ~ 880MB) functions.
If you are interested in my project, please visit http://xswxm.com/?p=1000, and make comments for it. Thanks!
VERSION: 1.20
CODENAME: xswxm
UPDATED: 2015-01-18
DOWNLOAD: MEGA
ATTENTION1. Applicable Scope and Disclaimer
AIR is only for official C6833_14.4.A.0.108_Customized_HK, C6833_14.4.A.0.118_VodaFone_UK and XL39h_14.4.A.0.108_China. Please do not try on other third party's ROM even it's based on official 108 or 118 version.
Although I have made some changes to support all the modules and ROMs mentioned above, while I have only tested AIR on C6833 running C6833_14.4.A.0.108_Customized_HK, I am not sure if it works on other modules or ROMs. Please be aware of that.If user using XL39H want to experience the ultra slim system, please flash official 108 ROM using the Flashtool, then simplify your system using the Simplify System function, and you will have the same experience as the Flash ROM function.
ROM simplified or installed by AIR is 99.9% official odexed ROM, only several files have been rebuilt because of the simplification recommended.
If AIR causes any issues, I will not be responsible for it.
2. Tips before Installation
You'd better backup your current system using RECOVERY.
Please uninstall the updates of the system apps of your current ROM before using Simplify System function to simplify current system.
If you use the the Simplify System function, it will delete some packages even you didn't select any item. Please be aware of that.
Google Apps recovered by AIR only include Contact Sync, Google+ and Play Store, if you want to use the full Google services, please delete all the Google Apps using the Simplify System, then flash a full Google services Package.
System flashed by AIR do not include SuperSU or SuperUser, but you can install or flash one.
Please make sure at least one IME in your ZU, otherwise the navigation bar won't work.
You'd better install at least one brower or file manger to install apps.
3. Common Issues
System flashed by AIR has ROOT and RECOVERY inside already, if not, please use the EasyRootTool ROOT your ZU and reinstall RECOVERY.
If there is no IME or file manger in your ZU, go to the Update Apps to flash an IME or the Root Explorer.
If the back button doesn't work, please go to Settings - Language & input then choose an IME and set it as default.
If your ZU can't connect to the internet, please go to the Settings - More - Internet settings and download the APN settings, or add APN settings manually.
If you got any problem for this installation, please WIPE your DATA and CACHE then install it again, or connect me for help.
Other imformation and Tips can be found when you are going to install it!

Google reveals 7.1.1, September 1 2017 security patch.
In my experience, if you want tweaked stock: use 32.2.A.0.305 (Android 6.0.1) and Magisk. Stock 7 sucks battery wise and there are bluetooth problems.
