[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gspotr:
I do apologise if there are similar threads just like this one but recently I have been receiving messages from people asking me how I got the WB-XPERIA Gingerbread 4.0.4 ROM installed with X.Dark v1.4 Theme. I know that for n00bs this could be hard and a little frustrating so I will make it as easy as I can.

Please remember to press the

Okay let’s get your boring Xperia pimped and pumped!! :D

1. Before you do anything I strongly recommend you install

MyBackup

or purchase

MyBackup Pro

from the Market to backup all of your calls logs, messages, settings, etc.. However, for you apps and their data I strongly recommend

Titanium Backup

which can also be installed from the Market.

Issue that I faced moving from 2.1 to 2.3.3 was that Titanium Backup couldn't restore my messages properly so I used MyBackup to restore the messages.

2. Secondly, download the latest Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0 and install it. Once installed, open it and click on

Support Zone

and click the

Start

button

Under Phone Software Update

and follow the procedures.

3. Once it’s updated, just double check if you are on 2.3.3 by clicking Menu > Settings > About Phone > Android Version.

4. Now go to the Rooting Procedure page and follow the instructions.

5. Once all done, you should have your phone rooted (Superuser should be installed) and xRecovery installed.

6. Now, click here and download

Xperia TW Gingerbread Edition V4

and place the ZIP file on your SD card. Then download

Update 4.0.4 for V4

and place the ZIP file on your SD card as well.

7. Reboot your phone. Once you see the

Sony Ericsson logo

continuously press the BACK button till the xRecovery menu comes out.

8. Use the volume buttons and choose

Backup and Restore

and then press Backup (this will backup the current stock ROM just in case something goes wrong).

9. Once backed up, press back and choose

Factory Reset (full wipe)

and press YES. Once that’s done, choose

Wipe Cache Partition

and press YES. Once that’s done, go to Advanced Options and choose

Wipe Dalvik Cache

and press YES.

10. Once step 9 is completed, press the back and press the

Install Custom ZIP

and choose the second option (SDCARD) and press UP it should show you the ZIP files from step 4. Choose the Xperia TW Gingerbread Edition V4 and press YES to install it. Be patient as this might take a while. Once done, go back and do the same thing for the Update 4.0.4 for V4 and press YES.

11. Once step 10 is completed, press back to go back to the xRecovery menu and press reboot. Now you should have the WB-XPERIA Gingerbread 4.0.4 ROM installed. :D

13. Now for the theme.. Click here to go directly to the theme page and press on the Download Link to download it. Once downloaded, place it on your SD card, reboot and install it just as you installed the ROM zip files and reboot.

DONE!! :)
