If you have a look in Xperia General, you'll find a whole lot of stuff...

Hi Chris, just a heads up mate - a better place to ask questions is in the X10 Q and A sub-forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=745) or in the x10 General sub-forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=615). This sub-forum (Development) is for the clever guys that are attempting to hack/mod/change the way our phones work for the better - we have to try not to clutter it up with general stuff.
To answer your questions, rooting means that you gain the ability to have root access. in unix/linux terms - this is a god-like user that can do anything. normally the user is limited as to what they can do but with root you can edit system files, delete protected files, anything you want. as i can see from your first post, you already have 2.1 installed so you will need to use the SuperOneClick root method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824788)
Good luck, and remember - dev forum is for devs only

Thread moved to Q&A.

Another rule is don't start threads about threads to ask about things already answered in the thread you've already read.

[Q] Downgrade to generic ROM?

It turns out that H3G Desires are shipping with version 1.22 of the RUU ROM, which means that I can't simply follow conventional guides to debrand it. Is there any way to downgrade to a generic ROM so that I can upgrade to FroYo?
Thanks
Welcome to XDA!
Please use a search before posting a new thread.
Every hTC device have it's own forum and it's the first place to look for ongoing discussion about device developments.
Take a look [here] and if you can't find answer to your question post it in Desire Q&A.
As this is not really the right place to ask and next time at least try to include device name in thread.

Thanks for that. I did do a search before hand but I probably searched for the wrong terms, as I've found a half related thread in the forum you linked.

HELP!

ive been searching all damn day, I just bought a
SAMSUNG TRANSFORM ULTRA
with 2.3.6 on it
how do I root / install custom rom everything I find is either 404'd or just doesn't work
can someone help please.
Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.
Thread moved.
Look up your device's forum in xda. If it isn't there, then type 'universal gingerbread root' in the search bar of xda and look up the results.
Code:
System.out.println("Sent from my SGY");

#1 thing wrong here:
XDA is a development site not a support site. As such members are expected to do the research, read through the development threads and decide what is BEST for them. The only results that would be posted here are what each member has found to be BEST for them by experimentation based on their phone/usage/setup/apps/signal strength. Please take the time to read through those development threads to learn all about the software you are about to drastically alter your very expensive device with.
#2 thing wrong here;
This is the General section all Questions and request for assistance belong in the Q&A section.
Please familiarize yourself with the XDA rules located at the very top of every forum section.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your future cooperation.
