1) download Baseband.rar and unzip it to desktop

6) <click> ok and wait for the process to complete
at this point you would have completed the ROOT and Updated to Baseband 015
[if you don't have a file manager on your phone]
Install <Astro File Manager> from Android Market
Install xRecovery to Xperia X8
Step 1: Mount Xperia X8 (to access SD Card)
- copy <Root.Explorer.v2.16.apk> to root of SD Card
- using PC create folder <xRecovery> and unzip xRecovery0.1.rar
- put the 3 files into the xRecovery folder you've created
- copy the xRecovery folder to root of SD Card
Step 2: UnMount Xperia X8 from PC
Step 3: Launch <Astro> Install <Root Explorer v2.16.apk>
Step 4: Copy xRecovery files to </system/bin> of your phone
- Launch <Root Explorer>
- scroll down to /sdcard <click to access>
- scroll down to xRecovery folder <click to access>
- Select each of the 3 files (one by one) <click & hold><copy>
- <click> parent folder (twice)
- scroll down to <click to access><system>
- <click to access><bin> and <click><Mount R/W>
- press <paste> button
COPY ALL THE 3 FILES (one by one) FROM xRecovery Folder to </system/bin> folder (i.e. busybox, chargemon and xrecovery.tar)
Once you have done that... you have installed xRecovery to your Xperia X8
SHUTDOWN -> Wait 5 seconds and REBOOT
When you see the words [Sony Ericsson] on the phone screen - start pressing the back button on your phone multiple times and you will enter the xRecovery Menu.
USING xRecovery
Select Buttons = Volume Up & Volume Down Buttons
Enter Button = Home Button
Back Button = Back Button
To BACKUP your Xpedia X8's current ROM
select <backup and restore><backup> from the menu
This will create a backup file in your SD Card <SD/xRecovery/backup>
Note: Typically the backup should be around 256MB in size, so you may want to copy the file to your PC to lighten your 2GB SD Card.
To RESTORE from a backup of your current ROM
select <backup and restore><restore> from menu & select the <file_name>
That's it... Have Fun.
