Hi,

Are you sure you wanna do this to your brand new Xperia X8 smartphone?

In order to get to Gingerbread 2.3 ROM you need to do two things:

1) Root your phone & install xRecovery
2) Flash Gingerbread 2.3 ROM

I suggest you read the instructions at least twice before you try doing it.

Step 1

Step 2


Goodluck!

Hi,
It is not dangerous. Its just a hassle.

If you don't like the ROM all you gotta do is to re flash back to the Eclair 2.1 you started with.

See - Step 1 (..about making a backup of your original 2.1 ROM)

If you really mess up... you can always go back to Sony Ericsson's PC Companion and repair your Xperia X8's firmware.

cheers :)
