Hi
Iam a beginner at this but a got an answer on you threat when you posted the samsung galaxy gio mod with cyanogenmod 9.
I followed the link and you explaned how to flash and how to install that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...05&postcount=4
Thanks very much.
But here are my questions, plz answer them all.
1. Whats the difference between flashing and rooting your phone? Do i need to root it before i flash it?
2. How can i erase the mod later if i dont want it anymore. maybe change back to samsung touchwiz?
3. What backup do i have to backup?
Is there any guide for that?
4. Is there any risk of damaging your phone if you root it or flash it? What could happen? And can you restore it to factory settings?
Thanks for the help man, i really appreciate it

1. Flashing mean u flash (upgrade or downgrade) ur OS version. Rooting mean u become a superuser for ur phone. If u don't know what is rooting for, u should looking into the forums...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397120
2. Flash to stock rom and unroot ur phone.
3. On stock rom u can backup using KIES. Or native backup from phone. On custom rom u can used CWM to made nandroid backup. ( look into forums )
4. Yes, a risk always.. but as long u follow the step from, it won't hurt ur phone.

If you are a beginner, I suggest not to flash cm9.
Its in beta
I recommend to use stock first, root it and tweak it.

If you downgrade to froyo and your phone is running gingerbread, you will mess the bootloader. If you way to achieve root use the Hack Kit...there's no other player in town for your device.

read this and follow it to a T. If you mess up your phone it's because you didn't read it and skipped instructions or assumed with things. Remember, you are altering your phone, it is not OUR problem when things go wrong

Hey.
I am completely new to Sony xperia, i always used samsung phones. I am not a noob, but i need help with xperia.
I got an arc s lt18i, i rooted it and was than looking around for cwm.
I never ever had locked bootloader, so that was new to me too.
I tried installing ICS / jb mix rom.
I did exactly what was said, but i bricked it.
So reflashed and all oké now.
Now's my question: can someone explane a bit about how to do basic things and good / easy to install ROMs?
I already bricked my phone twice today
Thanks

I think you are missing kernel. If the phone is stuck on bootscreen its the kernel.
Theres a lot of threads, news guide at the general thread. All rom threads have a install guide too.
Link to a good guide:

I have nothing of worth to offer, but welcome to the community hope you are, despite the mentioned issue, enjoying the arc!
trust me, xperia won't be bricked so easily as the samsung device. xperia has the best flashtool to reflash back phone back to stock than the odin can do to revive a bricked galaxy tab.
Unless you unlock bootloader you can only install stock based roms that don't need a custom kernel.
try pureness Rom, this is ok for locked bootloader.

If you can get it into fastboot, this can be fixed without unlocking the BL. Go through this post and find one that is for GB 2.3.3 and flash it. Next you need to flash the GB 2.3.3 ROM back onto the device. I will continue to search for the stock 2.3.3 ROM on the interwebz
Did this ever get fixed?
