@people: the guy is obviousely new to the android world and he dont even know what to look for, how do you expect him to simply find everything?!?! the guy asked a question and if you dont wanna, or even cant answer, you dont have to make him feel bad for asking, he might have his own reasons for asking as this forum and the google thing are pretty confusing for starters. and there is a starting point for everyone and not everyone were born pros. i mean he cant even speak english good enough to realize what to serch for.

@spkarimi: there is no direct answer as you can find your most direct and most detailed answers in the [guide] and [how to] threads already posted on this forum, so i tried to give you the most direct links to the information you may need. here they are:
for basics about x10 and flashing:
forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page#Guides
forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Xperia_X10.jpg
and here is a list of roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678513
basically to flash a rom you need some tools, you have to first know them, know what they are and know how to use them, you need a noticable amount of information on such things, you need to know what root is and how its done specially for your phone, and then you need to know what you want in your rom, you need to be able to recognize different roms and you need to be able to choose the rom you want, then read the rom instructions and then flash it, and there are different and unique ways of flashing for different phones and different roms, and you must be very careful as it can badly harm your phone if not done properly. dont go for risky tricks and betas and stuff unless you know what you are doing. it can be very hard at first but then youll find it very easy, just keep searching and again, be more than careful... i personally have gotten VERY close to bricking my phone but i was lucky to have a hardly brickable odin phone, otherwise id be all screwed! lol
hope you have a happy flash and welcome to the colorful world of android!

U basically have to use superoneclick root and then MOVE the Xrecovery files to your system/bin foLder reboot, spam the back button and install a custom rom which u can find here.
That is all

Considering I'm completely new to this I dont know what you are asking or if this root/unlock situation will be a bust. From what I gather from this site it seems pretty easy. I know that I am running the stock os on my phone though. Ive downloaded busybox and Samsung Galaxy unlock as well. Are they good apps? Also do I need any drivers? Where do I look in the info you sent me for the link (sorry if it seems like I'm asking dumb questions)

All you have to do my friend is refer to the bible in the dev section.

That's all you need to know. Once you finish reading the bible, you'll be able to do all that stuff blindfolded.

If you have trouble with your drivers you can download Kies Mini off of Samsungs site and Kies will install the right drivers for your phone.

Here we are again with yet another new member that didn't read or search before posting about how they have flashed a GB kernel over ICS.
See here just a few posts down and here.
I just realized that I never started that guide I was wanting to write... maybe I will start it tomorrow morning.
