[Q] How to install custom rom on a Nokia Lumia 800 - General Questions and Answers

Sorry if there is a topic with this question but i cant find it.
My son bought a Nokia Lumia 800 and he wants a custom rom.
I have done it with Android but never with Windows telephones.
Can someone tell me how i can install a custom rom on his phone?
I dont know if it is a locked phone or not (developer lock) so lets think it is.
If there is a topic with a complete how to for a beginner , just give me a link.
Sorry for my bad English.I dont type it verry much.
I am a Dutch person.

Instructions must be around there somewhere . If you have trouble locating them (after extensive search), ask for help over there.

Thats the reason why i asked my question here.
I got a popup with the text to put it in Q&A section.
So i put it here.

Dont you just love helpfull people!!!
1. Now i thought this was the forum for the XDA mini
2. ive tried to get into the wiki sections today and got a crappy error.. not the normal page cant be displayed... more of a forum crashed type error
3. the search is really good if you know how to term your question.
Sorry i got one of these replys from a 'higher' member and I was in the right post. so at the risk of anoying more ppl i did another post in another section asking the same thing.... guess what no replys..
Not even my question just getting narked with this kind of answer from higher members. we need a decent FAQ for new ppl.. with locked threds so they dont get out of hand. with a mod handling updates to these areas.
Oh yes, it is so DIFICULT to have a look on this forum that if you bother to check the MAGICIAN forum you will see this

HARD SPL MEANS YOU HAVE TO TELL THE PHONE TO ACCEPT A ROM CHANGE THE SECURITY ON THE PHONE AND LOSE YOUR WARRENTY.
U NEED TO RE READ THE INFORMATION ON THE CHANGING ROM. IT VERY IMPORTANT UNDERSTAND AND GET IT RIGHT IF YOU GET IT WRONG YOU CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE.
HAVE YOU CHECKED THE WIKI IF YOU DONT FIND A ANSWER TRY THE SITE BELOW THE HAVE DOCUMENTATION ON CHANGING ROM

@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

The thread I linked is for 620, that thread discusses the subject you are asking about, read it. I didn't say anything about whether it would or wouldn't work, I'm saying read that thread to see what it has to say from start to finish.
