Basic Information and Terms?

[Fo0d2Go]

Hi I'm really new at these things like meddling with phones and and hacking them. I just want to know the basic terms and information used such as "flashing". I have an Xperia X1 and I want to know how to maximize its limit and tweak it.

have a look around in the xperia question. all information regarding to flashing etc, can be found there. but before ask questions, try to use the search function first, ass it would most probably get you on your way faster than ask a question and have to wait for an answer. good luck

hey thx. i found out that the x1i is able to go 3g in certain areas in US. but can anyone tel me wat the at&t 3g frequency or the number for garden grove, CA 92840? 850/900/1900?

Rom is read only memory. It contains the sytem image. You can replace the system image on your phone through a process called flashing.

and i heard and read people say both things like x1i is 900/1900/2100 and the x1a is 850/1900/2100. and other people say that x1i and x1a are quad bands and have all 850/900/1900/2100. is this correct? because im in the united states in south california and i want to use 3g network
