hi everybody I have tried to root my xperia x8 because i wanted to update the android version to 2.1 , i downloaded the superoneclick 1.5.1 and i did all the steps i've read here but at the end it says "FAILED the device was not rooted" and in my phone it appears the superuser aplication but i can't access to the root explorer because this message appears:"Root explorer has not yet managed to obtain root access.Because of issues with Superuser, this often happens the first time the app is run but is usually fine from then on."
I have no idea of what is happening , i did all the steps:i put my phone in debug mode , then connect the phone and click "root" and it is still not rooted :S
If someone can help i would be very happy , i'm about to become crazy :S
HI
If you have android v1.5 Donut and you want to upgrade too android 2.1 just install PC Companion (Sony Ericson software that you get with the phone in the box) and let the aplication search for any update of firmware for X8.
actually i have 1.6 version i've tried to update it with pc companion but it says that it has the latest version....
Where do You live?
You have tried to update your phone via PC companion?
PC companion>Support zone>start> ... And it says that u have latest software?
Check phone status do You really have 1.6?
I live in Peru
yes i've tried that and i still have the firmware version in 1.6
help me please
You don't need to root your android to do the upgrade.. xD just upgrade with sony ericsson update service, and after that you can root your phone normally using 2.1 firmware..
Although, you need to substituite a file in superoneclick: "thecage.." to "neuter" but rename to the original.. (sorry if i can't explain well, but i'm portuguese and i'm 16.. xD) search on the forum or wait so i can post the zip file already working, because i don't have it on my phone..

He's in peru and it might not be updated there. There's no such thing as world availablity for sony-ericsson - it's different all over.
My best guess for you would be to use the flash from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962014
There's at least 3 links to it, not sure if the torrent is still working.
It's set as russian CDA number, but you can change that - look on x8 forums for way to change CDA (don't have time to help with that just now )
also LuisDias, as he's from peru he might be able to understand some of your portoguese
Peru? I didn't read that part.. XD anyway, i can speak spanish if he didn't understand portuguese.. xP

Yeah, we are in lucky situation in Europe, but south-american telcos didn't deal 2.1 version. Even nor some providers in USA

You can flash with E15i firmware and then flash X8a baseband that you can find in thread in my signature bellow
...maybe there is a way to update with pc companion like he is in Europe...
And I read about updating from other country on development section.
Easy way it's changing the SI number so it solves it like a workaround, still i'm not sure if it provides his language (i think it does) after that he can even install froyo or ginger eh
There are lot's of tutorials with infos to do it right in dev section, check them out.
well... actually i have the flash tool and i found this firmware "X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf" but my xperia has the e15a version if flash it with this firmware what would happen?
you should get android 2.1.... and to your root issues you should set usb on debugging mode and you mustn´t mount sd card just set charge phone instead.
so no matter if mi xperia is e15a and the firmware i would use in the flash tool is e15i
just curious... is any someting diferen on our X8 hardware,,
many out there get diferen problem when flashing mod rom-same rom,, sometimes just fine on some x8,, but totally fail[boot loop or sony ericsson stuck] on another ones,,,

Hi all,
I have flashed my x10a with flashtool and x10_2.3_aro_2.ftf firmware. But after the flashing is finished, my phone screen touch is not working. What can I do now? I am unable to install xrecovery to install another rom bcoz screen touch isn't working. So I can't install any custom ROM. What is the solution for me now?? :crying:

I tried with X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200.ftf this firmware too.. And I need to drag the status bar downwards to connect to PcCompanion. That I can't do because my screen isn't working
To repair your phone you just need to have the physical buttons working
Go to SEPCC / Sony Support Zone -> Software update -> repair phone (might be some other translations or words, as i am translating from the german version)
Go through the steps, and you will be asked to connect your phone in flashmode, which you can access by pressing and holding the back button while you turn on your phone.
After you do that, you have to wait for downloads etc to finish, and SEUS will flash back to stock.
edit: You will loose your personal data, which is stored on the phone.. Your SD Card will be untouched though

It's still in development.. :/ And the current version has some FC's etc.
@me.amar
Get back to real Stock first. And check if your Touch is working properly
How can I get back to stock rom, from where can I download it, I m searching this since 3 days. Its my 4th day without phone.
Use the method i described on page 1..
with using SEUS (PC Companion) you as a person won't have to flash anything, it will be downloaded and flashed automatically by Sony.
