1: Rooting / S-OFF'ing your Wildfire
-- Rooting your phone is essential if you wish to install Custom ROM's, Custom Apps2SD Scripts, Overclock, install Root only apps etc. Note: Rooting will void your warranty, but, you can use an RUU (Refer Pt 5) to restore back to your stock ROM. Rooting essentially consists of 2 parts - Pushing a custom Recovery like Clockworkmod (Essential), and, installing the SuperUser app.
AlphaRev X Public Beta is now available. You can now get S-OFF and root, on all the newer HBoots as well. Means, now, irrespective on which Wildfire you are on, you can get S-OFF and root!Link HERE
UPDATE (03/08/2011) - AlphaRev X is now called Revolutionary. The Process stated below remains the same, only the website and the name has changed. The new Website can be accessed HERE
A Short FAQ and Guide for AlphaRev X (Revolutionary):Q: First and foremost, what is S-OFF?
A: It's the disabling of the SecuFlag, a security implementation by HTC. When your phone is S-OFF, you essentially have "complete control" over it. Advatages stated below.
Q: I am rooted already. Do I need S-OFF?
A: Depends. Advantages of S-OFF are writable /system partition, so you can perform many modifications directly on your Wildfire, without using ADB. Also, you can change your Splash screen. (It is the White screen with Green HTC Text which comes immediately after power on). Another major advantage is enabling of Fastboot (On AlphaRev X only). However, it is not "essential" that you got to have S-OFF.
Q: Is the warranty void?
A: Yes, as is the case with rooting and installing Custom ROMs, Warranty IS void. But, there are ways to get back to a stock configuration. Refer the next question.
Q: How do I revert back to S-ON?
A: It's now possible! You will require Fastboot, and the Stock HBoot (a nb0 file) from an RUU. The guide for the same can be found HERE
Q: Ok, I am interested! How to I go about it?
A: Visit the website HERE. Download for your respective platform. Short How - To below:
Q: Which HBoot version do I have? Which versions does AlphaRev X support?
A: To get your version, Power off your phone. Then hold Vol Down + Power Key, this will open HBoot menu, and your version will be written on the first line. AlphaRev X only supports HBoot 1.01.x at this point of time, and not 0.80x. So, if you are on 0.80, you will have to flash an official Froyo RUU (Point 5 of this thread), and continue from there. Pre - Requisites:- A phone on one of the newer HBoots 1.01.0001 or 1.01.0002. HBoot 1.01.0002 is no longer supported, and you will have to downgrade to 1.01.0001. Guide here
- ADB Drivers. Download HTC Sync, Install it and Uninstall it after that. We just need the drivers.
- Hacked HBoot Drivers. Guide Here
- Your Wildfire's Serial Number. (Printed on the Box and below the battery. It is a 12 digit Alphanumeric number, which normally (not necessarily) begins with HT0 (That's a Zero))
- USB Debugging ON. (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging)
- When you connect your Wildfire to your PC, make sure it is in "Charge only" mode.  The Actual Process:- The actual process is pretty much self explanatory. After you download the program, simply run it. It will detect your Wildfire, along with its HBoot version, (If drivers are installed properly. This process doesn't take time at all), and perform the patching of the HBoot. The entire process takes about 1 minute at most. If it gets stuck there is some problem somewhere. If it states Success at the end, that's it. Your phone is patched and is now S-OFF.
- Here's a video tutorial on how to get S-OFF and install a Custom recovery using Revolutionary. (Courtesy theunlockr)
http://theunlockr.com/2011/08/02/ho...android-phone-using-the-revolutionary-method/ - WARNING - Some reports by members suggest that after S-OFF'ing with AlphaRev, they encounter various issues, on the Stock / HTC Sense based ROMs. You will lose the ability to use HTC Setup, HTC Wallpapers and HTC Scenes. Everything else works as intended though.
- UPDATE - There is a Fix for it. Head over here: Fix for Sense 2.2.1 after S-OFFPotential Problems:- Stuck at Detecting Device - Drivers are not installed properly. Refer the Pre-Requisites section.
- Stuck at Booting at Fastboot or Process 2 - You are possibly on HBoot 1.01.0002. There are some versions of the latest HBoot which is not supported by AlphaRev X, and you will have to downgrade it. IEF of the AlphaRev X team has written a great guide for the same, which can be accessed here
- Unknown command - Similar to above. You are probably on HBoot 1.01.0002 and will need to downgrade.
- Wrong Beta Key - Just what it says, you are reading it wrong. Majorly, there is confusion between I (Capital I) and l (small L). Re-read your beta key. Also, make sure the values you have entered into the website are correct, especially your Serial number. Another way to rectify this is redownloading the executable from the website, which fixed it for many users. (Your key should still be correct though)
- Stuck after Beta Key successful - Uninstall HTC Sync. This seemed to fix the issue for me personally.
- Anything else - First, Downgrade to HBoot 1.01.0001, if not already done so. Guide here. If it still doesn't work, I am at the end of my limited knowledge. Contact the AlphaRev X team, they will put you on the right track. Link Here (IRC Link)
 What after S-OFF?
Great, your phone is now S-OFF, meaning with a completely unlocked bootloader. However, before you get to flashing a Custom ROM or modding, you will have to install a Custom Recovery (like Clockworkmod). Get your needed version of Clockworkmod from the second post, and follow one of the methods to install it.1) Via Revolutionary Itself - Revolutionary now asks you after S-OFF'ing your device whether you would want to install a Custom Recovery or not. If you select Yes, it will automatically download the latest Clockworkmod Recovery and install it on your Wildfire. It's definitely the easiest way with absolutely no hassles. But, if it fails for you, the 2 alternatives are stated below.
2) Via Terminal Emulator - Guide Here. If you get an error "flash_image: Not Found", follow Steps 1-5 from Here, then, back to the original (first) link. Pushing of flash_image is a 1 time process. You need not repeat it everytime.
3) Via Fastboot (Needs AlphaRev / Revolutionary S-OFF) - Guide Here. Refer the part called "To install Clockworkmod after Revolutionary". Can't understand Step 6? Screenshot here: (My fastboot .exe is in D:\Android\android-sdk-windows). Link to Image
4) Via Unrevoked (No Pre-Requisites. Works on S-ON / S-OFF devices) - Guide Here
I want to install <Insert ROM Name here> What next?- After you have performed all of the above steps, Refer this thread by 42turkey's for a very detailed explanation on what to do to install Custom ROMs. Link Here
(NOTE -Follow that Guide from Part 3 onwards. Part 1 and 2 are already performed in the above steps. Thus, you do not need to use Unrevoked) =================================================

2: ROM List: (Sorted by Last Update Date)
Short Primer on Wildfire ROMs:
AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project. AOSP ROM's are essentially pure (or bare) Android ROM's - The way Android was originally developed, and "intended" to be experienced.
Sense ROM's are the ones which are based on the HTC Sense UI. The Sense UI adds various functionalities like a smart dialer and contacts app, better social network integration, HTC Widgets etc.
There is no ROM which is "best". ROM choice is extremely subjective, and, what is the current favourite, may not appeal to you. Hence, use your discretion, read the threads, and test a few before settling on your personal favourite.
ProTip - If you are modding your "significant other's" (colleagues, girls, wifes, mother-in-laws etc) Wildfire, (Or anyone, who isn't much inclined to tech / smartphones in general) , it is recommended to stick with Stock / Sense based ROMs

*******************************
- Any 2.2 (or below) ROMs will need Clockworkmod 2.x to flash it. Attempting to flash it in Clockworkmod 3.x will give you an error that Amend Scripting is deprecated by Google in Cupcake and is no longer supported.
- To rectify this, you may "permanently" go back to Clockworkmod 2.x by using Unrevoked / Fastboot
- Or, as a "temporary" solution, Download ROM Manager > Open it > Select Install Clockworkmod Recovery > Then Select Reboot into Recovery within ROM Manager. This will open 2.5.0.7, allowing you to flash 2.2 ROMs. This version is over and above your existing 3.x/4.x version
- Or, another temporary fix is to download the attachment, flash it, and proceed. Repeat everytime you need Clockworkmod 2.xA) AOSP Based:

4: Radio List:
-- Radio is the lowest software layer of any phone which controls its GSM Functionality, BT, WiFi, GPS etc.
-- These only work with Clockworkmod 2.5.x. To get Clockworkmod 2.x when you have a newer version, refer the note under Android 2.2 (FroYo) ROMs.
-- Make sure you have sufficient battery charge and do not interrupt the flashing process.
-- Warning: - Do NOT Flash any of these Radio's if your Wildfire is not a standard GSM HTC Wildfire A3333, or, it uses any special frequency bands. (eg: 850 MHz). You will lose that particular frequency then,
Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10
Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25
Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.15.31
==================================================
5: RUUs:
-- RUU Stands for ROM Update Utility. You use a RUU whenever you wish to get back to a completely Stock ROM, as it was out of the box.
-- Normally EXE Files, some RUUs which update the bootloader and prevent rooting have been now distributed as a Flashable ZIP. So, you do not lose the ability to root, and, still can get back to Stock ROM's.
A) Safe Flash ZIP Files:

B) EXE's
Shipped ROM's
HTC Wildfire Shipped / Stock ROMs Collection
-- All RUU's are well over 100MB. Make sure you get the complete file.
-- Get a Customer Error ID 131? You need a Goldcard. Guides can be Googled.
==================================================
6: Custom Recoveries:
-- The stock custom recovery obtained after rooting with Unrevoked is 2.5.0.1, and, the one obtained after using Revolutionary (Provided you selected Yes to installing Custom Recovery) is v4.0.1.4
-- To get rid of the offmode charging bug (Which prevents the phone from being switched on normally when charged in a switched off condition), you will need Clockworkmod 3.1.0.2 or newer.
-- Warning - Installing CWM 3.x/4.x will prevent the installation of Radio's and Sense based ROM's (Amend Scripting not supported). Use CWM from within ROM Manager to rectify this. Or, reinstall v2.5.0.7 from the link given below, Or, flash the attached file (update1.zip from the previous post). Also, Amon RA's Recovery is not officially supported. It's experimental.
How to Install a new Clockworkmod Recovery Image?
There are 4 basic ways:
1) Via Terminal Emulator (Needs S-OFF) - Guide Here. If you get an error "flash_image: Not Found", follow Steps 1-5 from Here, then, back to the original (first) link. Pushing of flash_image is a 1 time process. You need not repeat it everytime.
2) Via Fastboot (Needs AlphaRev / Revolutionary S-OFF or HTC DEV Unlocked Bootloader) - Guide Here. Refer the part called "To install Clockworkmod after Revolutionary"
3) Via PC49IMG.zip Process (Needs S-OFF) - Download anyone of the PC49IMG ZIP file of the recovery you wish to install, place on your SDcard, and reboot into HBoot Mode (Power Off, then Vol Down + Power Simultaneously). It will detect the file, and ask to install. Simply select Yes. If you wish to install another version which isn't present below, simply get the IMG file of the recovery version you wish to install,and replace in an existing ZIP. (Without Unzipping)
4) Via Unrevoked (No Pre-Requisites. Works on S-ON / S-OFF devices) - Guide Here
A) Clockworkmod 6.x
ClockWorkMod v6.0.1.4 + Aroma Installerhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014498

7: Themes:
-- There is already a thread created by BodenM for this purpose. Includes Sense based, CM6 (Admittedly few) and a few CM7 ROMs. Refer the link below:
Complete Theme List for Wildfire
-- Here is another Theme List for the Theme Chooser App included in many Gingerbread AOSP ROMs like Cyanogenmod 7, Ginger Yoshi, Ruymanca etc. MDPI and MDPI/HDPI Themes will work pretty good on the Wildfire, and, HDPI Themes may work, so its a hit or miss. Check this awesome post by maxpower47 here:
Theme Chooser Themes
==================================================
8: Misc:
[Script][A2SD]Darktremor 2.7.5.3 Beta 04 [Buzz] (01/29/2011)
-- True Apps2SD that makes use of an EXT Partition on your SD Card to move apps completely to it.
HTC IME for Tattoo/Wildfire (Working with Froyo and Gingerbread)
-- Miss the HTC keyboard on AOSP ROMs? The one posted here works perfectly, including the different versions that HTC offers - Compact QWERTY, QWERTY and Phone Keypad
[RLZ][v7.2.2] Patched Market (latest v.2.2.11 / Froyo & Gingerbread)
-- Allows non compatible devices on the Android Market to be seen and downloaded. (No, Paid apps will remain paid). The latest update can be found here
Reverse Tethering Wildfire --> Internet Pass Through
-- Allows you to use your computers / laptops internet on your mobile via USB. Does not work on Android Market out of the box though.
Custom MTD Partitions for the Wildfire (Increase Internal Memory Size)
-- Reallocate memory from your internal ROM in such a way to as to increase your internal memory size for installing apps to upto 320MB. This removes the needs for Apps2SD Scripts and gives you a potentially more stable device. Needs S-OFF using Revolutionary
AGPS Patch for the Wildfire v3.1 and 3.2
-- This is a patch developed by XDA user crypted for various devices. The benefits claimed are a much improved lock on time, and a connection to a greater number of satellites than before.
Dual Booting on the HTC Wildfire
-- Just what it says. This guide teaches you how to have multiple ROMs on your Wildfire and dual boot between them using an app called Boot Manager

This thread is alot better than the last one. The big red Rom type is really helpful. Thanks for taking the responsibility of continuing such a great thread.

@3xeno...Nice work this is a great and useful thread!

You should list both arco68 and HCDRJacob as the devs for CM7. Both are official maintainers. Looks odd with Arne on the nightlies and Jacob on the RC thread.
Edit: Oh and you might want to change all the "ROM's" to "ROMs", looks odd Same for ZIP's and maybe RUU's
Otherwise nice thread. Might want to make the HBOOT warning bigger and red.

one of the useful threads related to wildfire. keep up the work

Yeah, the other thread was great, but this is awesome!
Thank you for your work!

Why would you want to use a Froyo RUU? Anyway, this thread is supposed to serve as an index. If anything is available, it will be listed.
That said, Shipped ROMs does have the Froyo Update ZIP and Eclair RUU for H3G UK. Have a look.

Of Course. BTW, there are other rooted Stock ROM's also, like the 2.22.405 WWE one, which I have linked above. So you can use that as well. The Orange ROM has some Generic Orange Stuff I think, so you would be better off using a WWE ROM.

Thank you very much!

Doesn't it break some functionalities in Sense ROMs? Atleast that's what I read when someone asked it.
Anyway, I'll recheck, and if it works fine across all ROMs, I'll add it. Need to find it's download link though.

Yeah, it isn't compatible with anything outside of the later CM7 nightlies / RC4 / stable. It breaks USB functionality in anything else.
Similarly, only that kernel and its derivatives work with CM7 builds. Using the HDCR.Jacob kernel family likewise break USB functions.

I have listed it under the Gingerbread Sense ROMs list. You can find the relevant details to make it boot starting from Page 17, if I am not mistaken.

CM 7.0.3 Stable is out, is it good to upgrade from 7.0.2 ? whats r the changes in 7.0.3 ? 3xeno , you haven't upgraded yet right?

Nope, still on 7.0.2. Actually, I am waiting for 7.1 Bit lazy to upgrade ROMs on a regular basis, and more so, because I always believe in fully wiping my device before flashing a new one.
If you are looking to upgrade, look at the newer nightlies rather than 7.0.3, because they use the latest Gingerbread build and a newer kernel.
The official changelog is:
This update contains a bug fix for our update notification system, as well as an important security fix. It is recommended that all users running a version of CyanogenMod prior to 7.0.3 update to this release. You should not install this update if you are already running a recent nightly build, only if you are coming from 7.0, 7.0.2, or 7.0.2.1.

So, due to the huge amount of threads with information for the X8 I found, I think getting the info you need is pretty confusing.
Not saying that this is THE guide for everything, but it should sum it all up nicely.
A Warning
First off, let me start by saying that if you don't think you need rooting, don't root.
It can be dangerous if done wrong, so be sure you know what you're doing.
With that out of the way, let's get going then.
Updates and Basebands
First, before you do anything else, you need to update your phone using PC Companion (download here: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/pccompanion/xperiax8?cc=us&lc=en). PC Companion will guide you right through all the steps for updating.
The latest version is 2.1.1.A.0.6, and the latest baseband is M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015.
You can check your version by going to Settings -> About Phone.
If you are already running a custom ROM, you should update using PC Companion too, because some roms (like MiniCM) need the latest official version.
Advanced
If you need basebands for your X8, here's a helpful thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976538
Flash them with FlashTool.
Rooting
This is very simple to do, really.
First, download SuperOneClick (thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682) and place it on your desktop.
Next, on your phone, go to Settings -> Applications and enable Unknown Sources. Next, go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and enable USB debugging.
You also need the proper USB drivers. To check if you have them, start SuperOneClick.exe and click Driver Check. If the driver check fails, update your phone with PC Companion.
Now, connect your USB cable from your X8 to your computer. When connected it is VERY IMPORTANT to select CHARGE PHONE. Really, I can't stress this enough.
Start SuperOneClick.exe and just click ROOT. Everything should go normally. You might get a message asking you if your OS is 2.0 or higher, just go ahead and click Yes.
You should now be rooted!
xRecovery
YOU MUST BE ROOTED TO DO THIS
Installing xRecovery is the first step in the world of custom ROMs. Installing xRecovery also means if you are stuck in a bootloop, you can just recover to a working backup.
The first step is to download xRecovery mini-beta 0.1 (any other version WILL NOT work on your X8) (download HERE: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8AJTKDTQ).
Next, download Root Explorer (download HERE: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LGC110EX).
Copy both the xRecovery folder and the Root Explorer .apk to your SD card.
Install any file manager from the Android Market (I recommend OI File Manager or Astro) and use it to browse to the Root Explorer .apk file and install it.
Run Root Explorer, browse to the xRecovery folder and copy the 3 files inside onto the /system/bin folder.
xRecovery is installed. To start xRecovery you press the Back button while the Sony Ericsson logo is showing during boot. Restart your phone and just keep pressing the Back button.
To move around in xRecovery you use the volume buttons, to select an item you press the Home button (the middle one), and to go back you press the Back button. Go ahead and make a backup of your current system (make sure you have at least 300MB of free space on your SD card.
You'll find the backup you just made in the xRecovery/backup folder. Name it something you can identify (don't use spaces). Copy that backup onto somewhere safe on your PC.
Backups are REALLY important, don't be a lazy bum.
So, you bricked your phone.
Don't panic, don't worry, everything is going to be alright. If you have xRecovery installed, just recover the latest backup you made. That simple. If, however, you DON'T have xRecovery installed, we can still recover your dear phone, don't worry
Using PC Companion: Connect your phone to your PC and turn it on. Look around the update phone section of PC Companion for an option called "Repair your phone". Just follow the steps and your phone will be in working order pretty soon
That's about it, I'll probably add a section for custom ROMs in the future, with links to ROMs I recommend.
So, if you have any questions, feel free to post below

Custom ROMs
Alright, when it comes to custom ROMs, it's mainly personal preference. I'll list some ROMs I've tried (and recommend)
For Beginners!
If you're flashing your first custom ROM, and you want a ROM that you can use daily, miniCM is probably your best option. I have tested and can vouch for both of these ROMs.
Floyo 2.2.1 miniCM 1.0.0RC2 by ponanovn (CyanogenMod 6): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964223
Really simple ROM, basically everything you need to get started in the custom ROM world. The fact that it has CyanogenMod 6 is kind of a disadvantage comparing to for example, Racht's or Jerpelea's ROMs (they use CyanogenMod 7).
It features dualtouch which means pinch zoom is working. To activate it, put one finger on the screen then another finger. Then spread your fingers. The SD Card safe to remove bug is finally fixed with the latest revision!
Not working: Compass isn't working, some Bluetooth headsets are bugged.
Rating: [ ]
Floyo 2.2.1 miniCM by lizypen (CyanogenMod 6): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036335
Very easy and very smooth, a perfect ROM for beginners! Battery life is better then average, because it isn't overclocked to an extreme level. Like Ponanovn's rom, it uses CM6.
Not working: Same as ponanovn's miniCM.
Rating: [ ]
More advanced ROMs
These use CyanogenMod 7, and the reason why I say these are more advanced ROMs are that they need a little more configuration to get up and running then these miniCM roms.
Racht's HackDroid GingerBread (CyanogenMod 7): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513
Racht is an amazing cooker, and it really shines through in this ROM. This features GingerBread (Android 2.3.3). It's really nice, it just takes a little bit more configuration.
UPDATE 25/04: Racht updated his rom! No more SD-Card safe to remove crashes, which also means this is the most stable rom to date. Thanks Racht!
Not working: Camera.
Rating: [ ]
I'll add a review of Jerpelea's ROM when I have used it for a little longer

Time for FAQs!
Frequently Asked Questions
This section will (hopefully) answer all your questions related with the X8. If you still have any doubts, go ahead and post here, or send me a PM.
SuperOneClick is stuck at "Waiting for device"!
This is most likely caused by the lack of USB drivers for your X8. Go ahead and click Driver Check in SuperOneClick. If the window that pops up says "No issues found!" the problem is NOT your USB drivers. Otherwise, download PC Companion (which comes with the USB drivers for the X8) right here. Install PC Companion and give your PC a reboot.
I'm working on this section whenever I have time, which doesn't happen a lot, because of school.

This Guide brings you all the a list of all the ROM's floating in this forum.

adb: Android Debug Bridge, a versatile tool lets you manage the state of an emulator instance or Android-powered device
Baseband: In communications and signal processing, the baseband describes signals and systems whose range of the frequencies measured from close to 0 hertz to a cut-off frequency, a maximum bandwidth or highest signal frequency; it is sometimes used to describe frequencies starting close to zero
Boot Loop: simply means something is preventing the phone from completing it's boot cycle and is stuck between the boot animation and the unlock screen, creating a looped animation. This is often fixed by either reloading a Nandroid, or Reflashing a rom from recovery
Brick or Bricked: Jargon for a completely unrecoverable device, (no more than a brick or paperweight)
Bug or Software Bug: an Error or flaw in software that produces a failure or unexpected/unwanted result. Typically created from incorrect code, this is why some ROMs are better and smoother running than others because certain developers have taken the time to input "perfect" code
Busybox: BusyBox is a single multicall binary that packages the functionality of most widely used standard Unix tools, BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system.
ClockworkMod: A recovery program that is often used to apply updates, ROMs, or create a back up or restore a backup file
De-odex: Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.
Dev. or Developer: An individual that creates, or alters a file in such a manner as to advance the program
Flash or Flash Memory: a program technology that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed
Kernel: The governor of the CPU usage and Battery output, one can upload certain Kernels to achieve greater performance speed of their device at the cost of some battery life
Nandroid or Nandroid Backup: A file typically created in the custom recovery program, such as clockworkmod, that is a carbon copy of whatever state your phone is in before a drastic change is made. the file then can be moved onto or off of the SD card for later use in case something should go wrong in the ROM or Update, or a Boot Loop occurs
OS: Operating system, I.E. Windows Vista or MAC or ANDROID
Overclocking: Speeding up the CPU past the factory presets to achieve a faster and more responsive device
ROM: Read Only Memory, a program used to make changes to anything from the look of the home screen, to icons to custom boot animation
Root: Common word associated with giving a user "super user" access to their phones programming and other various aspects that would normally not be possible, also known as "Jailbroken" for iPhone's
Shell or SSH: secure shell or ssh is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged using a secure channel between two networked devices
Stock: Simply means an unaltered state, such as when you first purchase your phone from Verizon, or when you do a factory reset. Current stock image is Android 2.2 (Froyo)
SU: "Super user", or root permissions
Theme: A set of icons, backgrounds and app trays that change the ascthetics of the overall look of the droid and its applications
Underclocking: Slowing down the CPU mainly to limit battery usage
File types:
.apk or APK's: An .apk file extension denotes an Android Package (APK) file, an .apk file can be opened and inspected using common archive tools
.tar: Similar to a zip file, a tar file archives multiple files into one file
.zip: Zipped file used to archive multiple files into one to save space and allow for single download
.pit: Handle the partitioning of the internal SD

I would like to find out, and I believe it's a good thing for an open discussion on the following:
What is the most stable (recommended) combination ROM / KERNEL right now (apart from stock FW)?
What are the STABLE / UNSTABLE versions of ROM / KERNEL?
What are the well known bugs in particular ROMs or KERNELs?
Best regards
Savit

Thanks for that list! Well done.

One request and only because there are soo many damn versions of the tab.....do you think it's possible to separate what works with a specific tab? For example, list whatever works under T-MOBILE Tab, SPRINT TAB, VERIZON TAB etc.....most of us (at least I don't) wouldn't know how to separate any of those in terms of what they are called or use, like CDMA or PH1000 or whatever. Thanks!

what ever makes you happy. if you going to be working on the wiki you should make it look better than that. a wiki is suoppose to be comprehensive. you just copied and pasted what i have. i could of done that myself. i think the devs did more than enough by posting their roms in the dev section, and the last thing that i bet they are worrying about is putting it on the wiki. since im no dev im doing my part by keeping this bible updated. link my bible to the wiki not all the links i compiled. i really think you should use the vibrant wiki as reference. imo thats what a wiki should look like.

Ok Now that you have a hang of your device, you probably want to explore your options and maybe install a Custom Rom. Well, the first thing you will need is to Root the Device.
So what really is a Root ? Why should I do it ? Would it break my Phone ? How about my Warranty ? All legitimate questions. To start off, here's an easy guide by Lifehacker. This whole concept may seem mystical to some of us. Let me try to make it pretty straightforward. Rooting is a process on Android that effectively grants you superuser access. Think of it as Administrator access on Windows. Android is a derivative of Linux. So those from Linux should have no difficulty with this concept.
There are certain operations that only a Superuser can do. Hence you'd want to root in order to so. For ex, remove any application that is installed as System application. Just like on on Windows, Root access does come with risk, so you need to use it with care. Just because you have Root access, does not mean your phone is broken. Typically making wrong changes to system with Root access, will result in affecting smooth operation of your phone. In extreme cases, the device may be Bricked if incorrect software (Rom, Mod or others) is flashed.
When it comes to Warranty, typically Root as such does not void your warranty. But if you end up flashing anything with a custom Recovery, then your Warranty may be voided.
Rooting -
Ok so, I got what Root is and I need to be responsible in what I do. How do I get the root ? Well the first and basic thing would be to install appropriate drivers for Windows.
Next in order to Root, please follow this thread by @paulobrien . As you will see, there are two ways to go about it. Both do require your Bootloader to be unlocked. However, neither method, applies to the Google Play Edition (XT1032) as there is no supporting Custom Recovery for this variant.
If you do not have or do not wish to unlock your bootloader then you can opt for @oasoas014 's method of bootloader downgrade. You may also visit @Cooptx's more detailed guide. Note, with the most recent recoveries, you do not need to downgrade your bootloader.
Note - Flashing a bootloader is inherently dangerous. You can possibly hardbrick your device if you flash incorrect bootloader. Always check the MD5 value of downloaded file.
Only In Case of Moto G Google Play Edition (XT1032), it is possible to unlock the Bootloader on your own. You do not need to pay to get an Unlock Code from Motorola. Instead, you can follow the same method as Nexus or other Google Play Devices. Here's a nice tutorial. For those technically minded, here's Android Source Documentation of the same process. Once unlocked, the bootloader cannot be re-locked unless you flash a signed system image, (which Motorola has not made available as of 01-22-2014).
One of the first things you should do upon Rooting is to backup your PDS Partition.
[SIZE=+1]How to backup / restore PDS partition and why?[/SIZE]On Motorola devices the 'pds' partition contains information specific to your machine: IMEI, MAC address, serial number, etc. This partition can be lost by accidental format or over time due to filesystem corruption. If you have made a backup, there is a good chance you can bring your handset back to life.
==> PDS backup will help to restore lost IMEI. It is a situation when the phone reports that the IMEI is unknown. ; This works like a vaccine, apply before having issue with IMEI, after it will be too late !
Instructions:
**Root Required**
Using ADB you can make a copy of the partition and move it to a safe place (Google Drive?):adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds of=/sdcard/pds.imgTo restore in the event of corruption or loss:adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/pds.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds(assuming you've pushed pds.img to internal SDcard storage first)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once rooted, some of you may wish to stick with that and not proceed any further. With root, you will want to remove some of the apps that you don't need. I wish to suggest that you take a complete backup with a tool such as Titanium Backup. That way if you accidentally uninstall/remove something that's critical to android's operation, then you can restore it. For those of you, who wish to install custom Rom, read on.
The first step towards installing a custom Rom is to install a custom Recovery.
Please note, In order to flash any custom Recoveries, you need to have unlocked Bootloader. The viable options are either follow this guide or get an unlock code from Motorola.

A Custom Recovery is a unofficial Recovery Console that can be flashed to your device's Recovery Partition.
Typically unofficial recoveries offer several advantages over Stock or Official Recovery. Hence the unofficial recoveries are necessary in order to flash a Custom Rom. Apart from flashing a Rom, Kernel or any other firmware, unofficial Recoveries can also take Nandroids.
An unofficial Recovery is also commonly referred to as Custom Recovery. There are two major projects that contribute Custom recoveries. One is called CWM. The other is called TWRP. Given bellow is a list of Custom Recoveries available for your device.
Note - CWM and TWRP recoveries do not support the Google Play Edition variant (XT1032). You will need to wait for Motorola to release the Kernel source code before @a1Pha can support. However Philz Touch does support Google Play Edition.

Thanks for mentioning. I have made rest of the changes except for the 2 Root methods. Will add them to the Op. All changes are done.
Between the two methods you have mentioned, the basic premise of bootloader downgrade is pretty much the same right ? Your's seems more elaborate list of steps. Or am I missing something ?

Ok Now that you have a hang of your device, you probably want to explore your options and maybe install a Custom Rom. Well, the first thing you will need is to Root the Device.
So what really is a Root ? Why should I do it ? Would it break my Phone ? How about my Warranty ? All legitimate questions. To start off, here's an easy guide by Lifehacker. This whole concept may seem mystical to some of us. Let me try to make it pretty straightforward. Rooting is a process on Android that effectively grants you superuser access. Think of it as Administrator access on Windows. Android is a derivative of Linux. So those from Linux should have no difficulty with this concept.
There are certain operations that only a Superuser can do. Hence you'd want to root in order to so. For ex, remove any application that is installed as System application. Just like on on Windows, Root access does come with risk, so you need to use it with care. Just because you have Root access, does not mean your phone is broken. Typically making wrong changes to system with Root access, will result in affecting smooth operation of your phone. In extreme cases, the device may be Bricked if incorrect software (Rom, Mod or others) is flashed.
When it comes to Warranty, typically Root as such does not void your warranty. But if you end up flashing anything with a custom Recovery, then your Warranty may be voided.
Rooting -
Ok so, I got what Root is and I need to be responsible in what I do. How do I get the root ? Well the first and basic thing would be to install appropriate drivers for Windows. Next in order to Root, please follow the thread to install PwnMyMoto by @jcase. If you have received the Camera update, then you will need RockMyMoto to patch PwnMyMoto. are on Kitkat, then you will need SlapMyMoto. There's a nice Tutorial by @Tha TechnoCrat as well for you. There could be additional questions or specific questions about bootloader downgrade or otherwise. If so you may wish to review a reference thread by @dray_jr
Once rooted, some of you may wish to stick with that and not proceed any further. With root, you will want to remove some of the apps that you don't need. I wish to suggest that you take a complete backup with a tool such as Titanium Backup. That way if you accidentally uninstall/remove something that's critical to android's operation, then you can restore it. For those of you, who wish to install custom Rom, read on.
The first step towards installing a custom Rom is to install a custom Recovery.
Please note, In order to flash any custom Recoveries, you need to have unlocked Bootloader. Barring the open Bounty, the only viable option right now is to get an unlock code from Motorola. Do know that according to this blog, unlocking the Bootloader of a Developer Edition device will NOT VOID WARRANTY!
If you do not wish to unlock your Bootloader, you may also wish to explore Safe Strap. It is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. Its aim is to avoid making changes to the main system partition and only flash or make large changes to the Data Partition in general, /sdcard in particular. When SafeStrap is installed, you should see a menu at boot, with a choice to enter recovery. As of now, the recovery of Safestrap is based on TWRP 2.6.3.0. If you wish to proceed down this path, please see this thread for more details.
Reference - Moto X Forum Thread.
ROOTING WITH LOLLIPOP UPDATE -
With the Lollipop update, rooting process is different. You may wish to review [HOW TO] How to Root 5.1 with (unlocked bootloader) if you have already unlocked the bootloader. If not, you might want to do so, preferably before the update.
For those with AT&T or Verizon version of Moto X, there is another option to Root. Please review Moto X Root AT&T/VZW [KXA21.12-L1.26] for more details on this. Do note, it does require specific firmware version.
Custom Recoveries -
A Custom Recovery is a unofficial Recovery Console that can be flashed to your device's Recovery Partition.
Typically unofficial recoveries offer several advantages over Stock or Official Recovery. Hence the unofficial recoveries are necessary in order to flash a Custom Rom. Apart from flashing a Rom, Kernel or any other firmware, unofficial Recoveries can also take Nandroids.
An unofficial Recovery is also commonly referred to as Custom Recovery. There are two major projects that contribute Custom recoveries. One is called CWM. The other is called TWRP. Given bellow is a list of Custom Recoveries available for your device.
The internal Storage of Moto X does support F2FS, a file system developed by Samsung engineers. The custom recoveries too do support the same.

Open Recovery v 2.09 by @Skrilax_CZ -
One of the big difference Open Recovery has over TWRP and CWM is that, it can backup and restore modem firmware. In particular, it can backup the following partitions.
Code:
boot, cache, data, fsg, logo, modem, modemst1, modemst2, system.
It has F2FS support, however, after Motorola released 4.4 image, f2fs has been broken. Those of you, who are using it, can chime in on any issues.
It was designed for Droid MAXX but works well for Moto X. Head over to the thread for more details.

Just like rooting and using custom Roms, there will be a time when some of us might decide that they want to start over. For any reason, should you wish to restore the phone to the condition that it was in when it arrived, that's certainly possible to do. This is collectively called Return to Stock. Your best places to review are the excellent guides. You can go with
[GUIDE][VIDEO] Moto X - Return to 100% stock (using RSD Lite OR manual flash). by @TechSavvy2.
It is possible that you only wish to go to stock so that you receive Android updates such as Lollipop, in which case, you don't have to go to stock Recovery. If so, please review [REF][How To] Return to STOCK Recovery (IF rooted) and sideload OTA by @KidJoe.

I am still building this. Long ways to go before I am complete.

Looks like there's a kernel for you to put in here now.

Guess I do... As I said haven't gotten there though.
Edit - Completed building. Let me know if I am still missing any Rom or Kernel.

The unit does not meet the expectations of the screen as in the expansion of the budget in 2012. Complete failure.

To each their own I guess.

So.... Is the download for VZW also for the Sprint Moto X?

Yeah... That's what I'm trying to determine. The OEM site has info... but saw only AT&T and VZW. I still have 12 days to return it...lol...
Update:
Well... I'm still on stock, not rooted.... guess I'm procrastinating.

Moto X Developer Edition
Just got the Moto X Developer Edition GSM version last night. Is this already rooted? Or do I still follow the instructions in other posts to root it ? If so which APK do I use ? I am using a SIM card from TMobile. Thanks in advance.

The bootloader would be unlocked or user unlockable. You will have to root on your own.

Sub'ed.

Original post needs changing. It looks like AT&T and T-Mobile versions are using the same frequencies, which is only correct for
GSM/GPRS/EDGE.
======
4G LTE bands for T-Mo (which is the same as Developer Edition for GSM networks, 1053): 700/AWS/1900MHz (B17/B4/B2)
3G UMTS bands for T-Mo (which is the same as Developer Edition for GSM networks, 1053): 850/900/ AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps (B5/B8/B4/B2/B1)
Source: http://www.motorola.com/us/Moto-X-Developer-Edition-GSM-Networks/moto-x-developer-edition.html#product-specs
=======
4G LTE bands for AT&T: Bands 2, 4, 5 and 17
4G HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul
3G UMTS bands for AT&T: 850/900/1900/2100MHz
Source: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/motorola/moto-x-white.html
=========
As you can see comparing with AT&T T-Mobile is lacking LTE Band 5. I read that AT&T is not using it in USA at the time, so not sure of how important it is.
[Not sure] On the other hand, for 3G UMTS T-Mobile version has AWS which AT&T doesn't. Unless 4G HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul for AT&T is the same as AWS in T-Mobile.

By stating, "AT&T and T-Mo", I had indicted that they both have same GSM frequency. Op has never stated that the two have different set of frequencies. Both carriers indeed do have a different implementation of HSPA+ protocol with T-Mo's speeds supposedly higher due to compression. Since ATT had rolled out 4G LTE ahead of T-Mo, they didn't focus on H+ like T-mo.
