I was such a noob, I... - XPERIA X8 General

Hey guys I opened this thread, curious to know how everyone started in their journey here ? Rules are simple. You just start with " I was such a noob, I..." and explain how or what you thought about hacking the X8 which makes you embarassed today. No lying or going extreme and to the others, no making fun of others Point of this is to remind ourselves that we have made personal progress and why we shouldnt make fun of our current "n00bs"
I'll start I was such a noob, I thought ClockworkMod was an app on the Play Store and that rooting was a setting i needed to enable. Honest to God

I was such a noob,i thought CyanogenMod is an app that i can downloaded from the Play Store..
Sent from my Xperia™ X8

I was such a noob I thought CyanogenMod was a firmware released by Sony Ericsson, particularly for the X8. o_0.

I was such a noob, I did not know how to change or backup apk.'s or even that was possible. So I was changing Roms only for apearance and launcher....

I was such a noob when i forgot to full wipe when i installed my first custom rom.

i was such a noob, that it took me 2 days to follow simple instruction on how to root my x8

I was such a noob that when people were talking about Androids, I thought they meant the ones from DragonballZ.

I was such a big noob that initially when i saw some developers thanking nobodyatall i.e. "the credit goes to nobodyatall" i thought that they did all the work by themselves and didnt took any help from anyone..

i was such a noob that i though unlocking boot loader can openline( free to use other network provider) my phone
minimum edition™®

Openline??

I was such a noob I found about root and all this stuff while I was searching a way to hack a game that I couldn't finish.....

don't think there any links for it yet so ya gonna have use kies to update, if your rooting then i don't think this new update will work on your phone as the only way to update the galaxy S3 is by Kies as Samsung doesn't allow updating by other means because it bookloading is locked.
