no problem.. if you follow the links to x8 toolbox you can root and install both xrecovery and clockworkmod recovery from there, you just run it on your pc. Then you can install any rom you like from the devs forum. follow the instructions detailed on each rom's page.
Once you get xrecovery installed do a complete backup from xrecovery. you can restore your phone from this if you mess things up..

sure no worries or drop me a PM, if i'm online i'll help. plug your phone into pc with USB Debugging enabled under settings menu on phone. just run the x8toolbox.cmd from your pc. follow the keypress steps to root then install the recoverys.

Take look after Ginger 2.3.5, download move to SD card, make sure you have xRecovery installed as well and proceed, but easy for u is to use on YouTube on your computer few movies about install new room ...good luck!

thx alot man
Install the PC Companion, as it also installs all the drivers you need.
And: don´t plug the phone and click root, just click the button without having your X8 connected, then wait until it says "waiting for device" and then plug it.

[Q] how do i flash a custom rom

Hey guys
I wanna flash my lg swift with 2.3.2. But I don't know how to? All I know is that I need to get a rom with fastboot enabled and then I must install recovery and then I flash. But how I do all this? Is there a tutorial some where that explains me how to do it? I searched everywhere.
Phone. Lg gt540 rooted and has android 2.1 v20b
THANKS IN ADVANCED
There are plenty of threads already explaining this. You need KDZ updater. The 2.1 ROM with fastboot. After you flash these with KDZ updater you will have a fastboot enabled ROM. Make sure your battery is FULLY charged before doing any o this or your indicator will get screwed...like mine. The you use fastboot to flash the ROM via ADB. That's the basics, now go look on the forums for more detailed descriptions as they are there.

You were warned to do a full nandroid backup before you proceed to flash Ubuntu. Next time you flash, make a backup. I would like to give you a in-depth on how to revert back to android but I'm in class at the moment. (LOL. Sorry. I hope someone will help you soon!)
Suppose you could read the guide Ubuntu posted on their FAQ on how to go back to Android...but then again that's far to easy
Here's the link as I'm feeling generous this afternoon...

i tried this in this afternoon but nothing happen. is there any another way?
just flash any rom/stock rom/nandroid backup through the recovery that ubuntu installed on your phone.
you don't have a rom to flash on your phone?
use ADB to push it to your phone when you're in the recovery.
FFS why can't people read simple guides and use their brain for a second?
could you please help me more clearly, im noob and try to reinstall but not working !!

If you're a n00b why on earth did you flash something so radically different? Surely you thought to know the restore routine before hand?
Read efrant's guide in General, it has every step in there. If you can't follow that then you're on your own...
finally i can reinstall anroid to my phone using adb push thanks so much
So you didn't even follow efrant's guide? What's the point in asking for help if you don't bother to take it when offered?

Read, read more and search, that's what the search function is for.
Use framaroot to root you phone. There are a variety of ROMs in the development section. Try them.
