Hi all!

I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 phone with Android 2.1 on board.

I want to update my phone with newer Android 2.3 CyanogenMod, but i don't want to use any 3rd party applications because its mysterious and can potentially contain malware, rootkit, etc.

I have Linux on my host computer and Android Debug Bridge (adb, fastboot) installed. Phone successfully recognized by my host and I can use adb shell.

Finally question: can I update android on my phone without using any 3rd party applications (such as flashtool, clockworkmod or other). For example just typing "fastboot update <some cyanogenmod zip file>".

Please help.
