Nope, not necessary until and unless specifically mentioned as in case of FXP's CM- MOD.

Make a backup of the ROM before flashing the new one & restore the backup when you want using the recovery. :)

All I can think of related to "memory spike" is moving applications from phone to SD Card to free up internal memory. Use search the forum option and look for "Link2SD".

Yes, the ROM usually wipes data and devs usually ask you to format /system before flashing a different ROM. Rest*, you need to ask in the ROM's forum that your are going to flash.

Better make a backup of the ROM so that you can restore your data when you want to like settings, apps etc. Using restore /data option in xRecovery.

Backup ROM using recovery(xRec or CWM) & using specific apps like SMS Backup and Restore for SMS's, sync with google account to backup your contact info etc. Titanium backup to backup & restore your apps. :)

It's better to perform a clean install.

That is to wipe all data, system as well as user and cache before installing a new ROM.

* refer to the dev's instructions regarding installation of the ROM.

Read carefully!!

so what im getting from this is that i cant just do something like the following:

1)boot

2)select rom

3)boot in selected rom

i tought unlocking the bootloader would allow me to test different roms and still stay on the one im running now wich is stable (daily use)

or should i look more into the bootmanager app where i can boot certain roms from the sd card instead of flashing them onto the phone itself ?

i guess that requires me to format the sd card or make a partition ? im new dont judge :p
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kloud_:
I'm not the one to judge here :)

I have been away from the android scene for about a year now myself! :p

Unlocked bl helps you to use most of the features of the ROM instead of bypassing certain commands as in case of locked bl.( if I'm not wrong) :)

You have to flash the ROM to install it irrespective of the state of your boot loader. ;) :p

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toledo_JAB:
Unlocking bootloader gives the developer of roms and kernels more choices on what can be changed when creating a custom version. Usually for roms there will be both lock and unlock version. Kernels is where the big difference are.

Bootloader is not a boot manager. Think of bootloader like the BIOS code in a PC. It is what tells the hardware how to interact with the software/android OS.

Xrecovery has a backup and restore feature. Once you have recovery you can make a backup copy of the Rom your currently using. Then you can install a different Rom. And using recovery again make a second backup of the different Rom. So now you have saved two different working roms. You can then use recovery to restore either one you want and use it. Later you can restore the other Rom and you can use it. Installing a Rom will overwrite the previous Rom, but will not erase the backup on card.

Recovery makes a copy of the entire phone system (not sd card). The backups are stored on the sd card

Since backups are stored on card you can save as many different roms as your card holds

You can use recovery like bootmanager but restoring a Rom backup can take about 20 minutes.

My Newbie (To X10) questions..

So, I was given this AT&T branded X10a to use to help out a family member, I am not sure how long it has been out of service (maybe a year or so)

So far what I have done:

Used PC companion to return to stock

Obtained SIM unlock from AT&T (used defunct Verizon SIM to get prompt and entered code, appears to have worked)

Installed Flashtool and can recognize phone

Installed S1 Tool and verified connectivity

Currently s1tool returns

Firmware : 2.1-update1

Baseband : 2.1.65

Kernel : 2.6.29SEMCUser@SEMCHost#1

So, my questions are more on what should I attack first! Not sure if I should:

Root -> BL Unlock -> Debrand to some generic from Flashtool

Debrand -> Root -> BL Unlock

Root -> BL Unlock -> Custom ROM

I am just a little confused on what direction I should head first with the rest of this. I was looking at the FeraLab New Gen ROM and it said that you needed Baseband of 2.1.71 as a requirement.

Thanks for any and all help.. I have been doing some searching just think I am overwhelmed with information starting on this phone. (my EVO and EVO Shifts were pretty straightforward I thought, this phone just seems to have a different way of doing things)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriscx:
I did root my x10 a very long time ago, but you have to use Flashtool, and follow instructions for the x10, root and recovery installation.

if you want to have good recent roms, you have to unlock bootloader, also with Flashtool. I flashed many kernels and roms, and I never bricked the X10.

there are many new recent roms based on CM9/ FXP team, I didnt have time to test them. For a stable rom, you can start with CM7, I use personnaly AOKP rom (ICS based) by Champswimmer, it improves completely the x10, some laggy games on 2.3.3 works good. But Champ just stopped developping this rom.

Hi buddy,

I am not using Wolf's rom at the moment but i have my good friend The Gingerbread man who is and he is more than happy with it, drop him a pm he will answer any questions you have and he will give you a honest opinion of Wolf's new rom.;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gingerbread Man:
Hey buddy I hear your in need of a little advice...

My honest opinion of the rom is that its great, really good how wolfbreak has kept it very much stock looking in the menus and settings and stuff using the new sony launcher and having the option for arc theme chooser and being able to have xloud and the bravia engine aswell as an app for dnla. There's some really really nice features in there and everything works! Iv been using it since very close to when it came out.

My advice is if your finding the stock kernal version sometimes laggy then why not try the custom kernals, the kernal that comes with the custom kernal is one of the japaneese ones and you obviously get the extra benefit of a small amount of overclocking (makes CPU run faster = extra speed and I think it uses undervolting so you use less battery which in theory should in theory icrese your battery time.

There are of course other kernals out there like Z kernal (x10 god!) also doom kernal (my personal fav) with large over clock if you want it and also other nice extra things like being able choose your own voltage settings to help increase undervolt which is again for better battery life.

There is loads of options and I'm sure you can tell I'm a fan of custom kernals but that's what I'd recommend you trying out.

Hopefully this helps you out and I'll be about for a couple hours if you have any questions :)

Hey, yeah I been around here for a year and know how to get the best from my phone but when it comes to actually developing stuff I don't have a clue. Like I say I on how to get the best from my phone, its the devs that do the hard bit!

Do stuff from rooting your phone is only risky if you don't know what your doing or understand what your doing or know how to be able to fix your phone. Your ok as ling as you understand what your doing, following correct instructions.

The flashtool and xrecovery will become your new best friends and you should be able to repair your phone idlf you brake it with either of those or sony Ericsson update service. Your question has mostly been answered here by my good friend Ricky

But if you want to get an idea of the kinds of things you'll be doing take a read through my little guide I made (link in my signature) and see how you feel. The first thing you want to do is update your phone using seus, you'll find all the links to stuff you need and related things from my guide. I wrote it when we were on 2.1 but it about atleast help you get in idea of what your letting your self in for. Also bear in mind your warrenty will be voided which can be restored by flashing back to stock using seus.

I'm waffling on now, happy reading :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gingerbread Man:
