The best place to start is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139163

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.

So if you work for SE, why would you want to put your name in ROM... Why don't you simply sign img file with red signature and post .sin files here for us to flash with FlashTool?

eventually it will be available on our phone, just it takes some time to port. Patience is all we can have for now and let dev to work.

wHen its released
Great news but when you released that Rom whatever Alpha, Beta, whatever Experimental version, when u released that one, already some one make the that Rom for X10, still we are waiting for that i hope u released as soon as possible keep it up.

I'm running 2.3.7 on my SO-02D and it's really not a big difference from 2.3.4. ICS will be here soon and then we will all see big UI/performance improvements.

SE Xperia x8 2.1 rom

SE Xperia x8 2.1 rom
this is original se xperia x8 2.1 rom
Extract this folder to
sdcard/xrecovery/backup/xperia-x8-2.1
Restore with xrecovery
i think it helped
download link here
xperia-x8-2.1

And your point is?
You know, we got more than just one thread around here describing how you can restore your X8 back to the GENUINE (as in "original") Sony Ericsson 2.1.1 ROM through Flashtool.
Nice you felt like posting, but this topic is already covered by a superior method that doesn't require to have a working ROM with xRecovery installed.
The next time you better use "SEARCH" to see if there are already guides or post about the particular topic you think you want to write.

You dont need to go back to 2.1. Just full wipe your phone?

...Or just use SEUS if you want your phone back to stock version.

Search under Xperia Arc Android Development, there are plenty of guides there about how to install custom ROMs.
