Can we make an updated version / quick recap of the HOW-TOs?

There are so many topics on how to root, flash and install the X10, but they're all pretty old and most of them are based on Sony PC Companion, that, as far as I know, isn't available for Linux.



I am guessing that people who are upgrading their X10s to the newest FeraLab versions can do the entire procedure in the blink of an eye. So can you please help me make a quick checklist of the required steps? I'll dig on my own for all the details required by each step.

I just need a "structure" to follow. Let's say a "broader view".



A few days ago I've received an X10i with Android 2.3.3. running on it.

It hasn't been rooted.

How can I check if the bootloader is locked or not?

Note: I've no data to backup on the phone. It's all in its factory default settings with no content on it.



I've downloaded and I'm currently running the latest version of Flashtool on Arch Linux (64bit). It works.

I've also download FeraLab Kernel v28-beta4.

Then I've FeraLab Firmware v40. I couldn't get the latest version (v40.2) since the uploaded.net link doesn't work, at least not for me.



Now, this is what I came up to after reading the most recent threads that I've found here.

Please correct me if I am wrong.



1) Should I click on the "Flash device" icon (top left) and then "flash" the .ftf file of the FeraKernel?

2) Should I "push .ko files to /system/lib/modules/" and restart?

3) Now should I install the v40 ROM using the same procedure of step 1)?

4) In order to do that I think I've to follow FeraVolt steps, right?

-> Boot-up to CWM6 Recovery & just straightly install ROM following AROMA installation wizard.

-> After installation, boot your phone, pass setup wizard and wait 2 minutes. Reboot again.

-> On second boot wait not less than 2 minutes again & reboot.

-> Done. Do a reboot after you've configured your phone. Hit 'Thanks' button and rate this thread if you like my work or consider donating me to let me to have a good dinner.



Am I about to follow the right steps? Or am I doing something wrong?

What about rooting the phone and unlocking the bootloader?



Thanks for helping a n00b!
