[Q] Sony Xperia X8 root issue - XPERIA X8 General

Hello guys
I ran through n no. of threads
I checked the steps for rooting the phone
And i did it accordingly but the "waiting for device" issue still prevails
I downloaded SE USB drivers as well though i don't know how to install them
I've PC companion's 2.0.0 version
I've SuperOneClick's 1.7 version
I'll tell you the steps i followed
1. SuperOneclick started
2. Click ROOT tab
3. Starting ADB... Waiting for status
4. With Unknown sources ON and USB debugging ON, i connect the phone
Even then it says Waiting for device
I read in the forums that it needs Windows Vista or 7
I've Windows XP Professional though 2002 Service pack 2 version
Pls help me get through this problem
Sorry for creating a new thread but i've been trying to this since hours together
What is the exact problem? And how do i check whether I've latest Sony Ericsson USB Drivers?

When it says waiting for device when phone is connected try to turn usb degging off and on or try to root phone with FlashTool

I´ve rooted on XP 2002 Home Edition SP3 without any problems.
Try it the following way, it worked perfectfor my sister´s phone with SE 2.1 (because I don´t know what I did with my phone any more , and we both have an E15i :
First of all, be sure that you are using the computer where you´ve upgraded to 2.1, or download the X8-drivers somewhere (google is your friend!^^)
extract the attached SuperOneClick.
Run the SuperOneClick.exe.
Enable USB debugging on your phone, but do not connect it yet.
Click "root".
let SOC start the ADB and the other stuff.
Connect your phone when it says "waiting for device".
After a few seconds, you should have root.

Try to install Sony ericsson update service...it will install the latest drivers during the installation of the program..
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

Problems with PC Suite after upgrade

I am putting my problem here as i am a new member.
My PC Suite for X10 was working fine but last week i received firm ware update R2BA024 over the air. After that update, I tried to install PC suite on a new (as i bought a new PC) computer. however, after installation, PC suite gives message for software update, after following all the steps, at the stage where PC suite ask to remove the phone battery for 5 seconds and than connect the USB cable with phone while holding the BACK button, once i follow this step, my computer gets stuck and than i have to re-boot it. I tried installation on a 3rd computer as well to check but problem remains the same. However, if connect to my previous (1st) computer it does not show any message of software update and works well.
Can any body let me know what could be the problem and how i can over come. As presently it seems that I can no longer use PC suite on new computer.
Thanks
Hi.
PC Suite doesn't work with the X10, it's PC Companion you need to install.
lol

I agree wahhhh Can't stop laughing maybe his new with the android phone lol.... any way your x10 every computer is fine and its work flawlessly..ones u connected into your computer it will prompt u first the sdcard and u will see some option and u can install the pc companion coz its already inside the sdcard ohh
Sorry Guys for my mistake!! Its actually PC companion (wrongly mentioned PC Suite). As mentioned in the my question, I was already using it on a different computer and worked fine. Also i installed update service.
But now on new PCs both are not working. I am sure that there is no problem with the PCs as i checked PC companion on 2 different PCs and problem remains the same. Problem started after upgrade from RF 14 to R2BA024
Thanks for your support again

what os version you have on ur new pc? is it windows 7, vista, xp? my nephew have windows7 laptop wen i plug in the usb cable onto my x10 it detects the new software and it installed automatically,,,, now you ca install pc companion and update service right from ur sdcard
on my laptop i have windows xp and its run flawlessly with no prob.....
I am using Windows XP professional. I have downloaded the latest version of PC companion version 2.00.142 and SEUS version 2.10.7.15. Both works well with my old PC as they were installed before firmware upgrade OTA to R2BA024. But incase i install these on a new PC and connect phone, PC gets stuck during the process as mentioned above.
ahhhhh!!!!! now i know what's the problem you need to factory reset your phone to refresh all the setting and update....but before that you need to back up your data..... go to settings-sd card & phone storage -factory data reset.... it won't deleted mp3,images,
wile the others to be deleted is contact,files, application downloaded, setting from the network but its ok it will prompt you automatically after you reset the phone....
good luck..... cross finger......
Thanks for the support. Just one more question - After Factory reset would i be able to receive again the latest firmware - R2BA024
Ahhhhhhh!! tried factory reset, re-installation of PC companion but problem remains the same. Computer gets stuck

what is the error message you get from pcs that does not work???
I had the same "problem"... Try this - Uninstall PC Companion > download the latest version (http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/pccompanion/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en) > Install new version
I donot get any error messags. After pc companio installatjon it says softwafe update is available. But at at the stage where it ask to remove phone batter for 5sec and than connect phone while holding the back button when i do so computer gets hang. I will try to provide screen shots later as well to give more clear understanding
Well as nothing was going well so i decided to go back to my old computer for a try. I uninstalled Companion and SEUS and than reinstalled PC companion on the my old PC. After reinstall Campanion showed the same message of a software udate available here as well. So I started the upgrade process again and it started downloading, installation was also started with out any problem. However, at the installation finalisation stage (very final stage) i would get a an error message that installation was not succesful and to try again. Tried several times and during this try again process I all most brick my phone as well as at one stage my phone started showing yellow Exclaimation mark (I was almost dead) But than lucky the update process completed and phone rebooted succesfully.
So i went back to new my compture to check it their AND every thing was fine there as well. PC campanion is working perfectly fine on it. I also checked it an a 3rd PC also for the sake of checking and there as well every companion worked fine.
After software upgrade, my phone now also has the option of Sync with Sony web as well as before it only showed the option of sync with gmail.
What exactly was the problem!! am unable to sort it out so far. And I wonder what will happen if there is another upgrade available????

You would need to install Pc companion and Sony Ericsson Update Service in order for the drivers to work.
Maybe the reason why Win7 is refusing to connect ADB with your device.
Good luck

When I try z4 its not working , when I try superoneclick its stoping at searching device I maked all like its writed debuging etc but its not working I have 2.1 update 1 please help thx
Do you have superoneclick 1.7?
That worked for me.
Just open it, let it start daemon and adb and when ot says "waiting dor device" connect your phone to the pc,with usb debugging enabled.
That worked for me.

Updating Yotaphone 2 YD201 ME Build

Dear all, I'm new here and just got my yotaphone 2 today, bought it locally from UAE, i beleive that the build ME refers to Middle East, got an android version of 4.4.3 YD201 model.
I thought that YD201 models are OTA updatable versions but seems not
Please can you guide me in a simple way how to update to lollipop? Noting that I've never flashed or done this before
Thank you so much..

You can follow this guide fully but you don't need to flash HK first, so you just flash RU 5.0.0 firmware directly.

Thank you so much.. Totally appreciate that.. But I don't know if it really matters as the tools relates to YD206 while I have YD201.. Should I proceed ?
By the tools do you mean YotaphoneFlasher? It works on both 201 and 206 since it's from official.
Thank you again.. OK I'm all set everything is ready but the only thing that's keeping me is drivers installation... Somehow the Google drive coming with the flasher is not being installed. I tried all ways possible, I.e. right click on the INF file and install but I get error message, and also tried to install it from device manager but couldn't. Can you please help with this? Thanks again
Btw I'm using Windows 7
Would you mind to post the srceenshot so I know your problem?

my dear friend, i managed to update the driver, thanks to you, but it seems that when i power off the phone and enter the "downloading " mode on the phone screen then connect it to the computer it seems the phone is not being connected.. i used the flasher chosed option 1 "flash the cellphone" then i get the message "waiting for device" on the flasher..
i had a screenshot just to show that i have done everything i should (i guess) .. i.e. copied the firmware.. etc,,,
mindyou, i think the problem is that when i conncet the phone to usb it goes under other devices/Android which is not being recognized..
you are the best and thank you for your help again and again!
Weird. Do you've already install both drivers and restart your computer?
If yes, how about try to plug another usb port?
I got both ADB and Qualm drivers installed.. but nothing happening! I tried the 3 usb ports already..
I don't know how to solve this.. I think I need to try it on another computer .. maybe it'll work out!
Your driver not properly install. Try reboot pc, enable usb debugging at phone, plug in usb. See if there is any changes at device manager.
There is yellow triangle. So it mean.. Oh.. Oo..
If stilk not ok. Plug out usb from pc. At device manager, unsinstall both yellow triangle. Plug in back usb. So it will detect device and windows trying to install it.
If you have Windows 10 you have to disable signature driver verification, entering in the advanced boot menu of windows. After that the .inf driver will install.
I got the update at last and it's working beautifully smooth I downloaded universal driver from adbdriver.com and it worked perfectly. Thank you all guys for your help and efforts
