Hi
I have upgraded my u8800 from 2.2.1 to the official 2.3.5. Now im trying to root the phone so i can flash a custom ROM. It was rooted before i upgraded it but it seemed to reset after the upgrade. Im trying to use SuperOneClick 2.3.3.0 but after i press root and it says "[+] Killing ADB and restarting as root... enjoy!" and i tryed to reboot the phone still isnt rooted. I installed an app from the marked called root check basic to check if it was rooted but it said it wasnt.
Any help in rooting the phone would be apprecieated(i have no idea if i spelled that right)!
EDIT: Got it working after i installed superuser from the marked before i ran superoneclick.
I cant root either!
SuperOneClick Crashes every time I press Root -.- please any kind of help?
(Ive installed superuser from my phone!)

Will there be a rooted ota for people who didn't install it or never got it. I rooted my phone and would like the better radio in hopes I will get more cell bars
There's already the option to root if you already applied the OTA update or are planning to.

i dont understand what u mean i have perm root without the ota. If i install the ota it will break root. Will i have to go thru the whole process again if i do this? I know on the mytouchslide when they came out with an ota they just rooted it so it wouldnt break the current root
i havent tried perm root yet. however search this site for 'visionary' root, which is all u really need for now. i had visionary root installed along with several root only apps (titanium backup, cachemate, setcpu, several others) and the OTA installed while my phone was rooted with absolutely no problems.
I installed the ota over the perm root and now I have no superuser permissions. When I try to run visionary it says my phone is already rooted yet I cannot run apps that require root or get the # in termal can anyone help with this
lol
the "#" denotes root access lol...... (coming from a marginal linux background..)

Have you tried reapplying s-off?
I am also interested in getting a solution because right before I rooted my phone I started getting ota update notifications for my phone and now I cant upgrade my phone but the notifications continue to persist. So I figure if I can get a rooted update or delete something, I can get rid of notifications.
ok i got it working what i did was do what somesaid in the begining and that was to follow the guide that doesnt use visionary for perm root. I think its call temp to perm root. I always had the s-off just not the perm root. everything is fine now
At least you were able to apply the update. I tried doing that and Clockworks Recovery halted it because some signature was verified or something.

I didnt use clockworks recover i used the orginal. It just made me loose root and not s-off so i used the temp-too-perm root to get it back because visionary was saying my phone was already rooted. I believe I was getting this cause i had rooted without the ota the first time. The second time i used the ota.ko Instead of the preota.ko because i used this when i didnt update to the ota on the first run.
Oh, okay. Thanks for that. I'm currently in the same boat you were in. I applied the OTA and it's reporting S-OFF, Visionary is saying I'm rooted, but certain things aren't working.
In the process of getting it fixed.
EDIT: Went through the same process you did and I'm all good to go. I was able to apply the OTA update after rooting it and then re-rooted it.
so how exactly did you root you perma root your phone again after ota.
i have perma root right now, its pre-ota, i do want to install ota though.. would i have to go back and do the manual perma-root with the "ota" files now instead of the other ones. im just confused and want to clear this up before i do anything stupid. thanks!
Hello all, can't post under development forums on Xperia X8 forums so I am posting here, I have this one small problem, everytme I try to root my Xperia X8 it says the rooted is successful but it doesn't reboot itself. Where is the problem....
Have you checked if any root needing software works?
i have rooted my x8 with super one click, it said root succesful and my phone didn't reboot, but it is rooted so i think it shouldn't reboot when it's done
it doesn't need to reboot.
try install titanium backup or root explorer, run, if it ask for root permission then you have it.
What's your build number? 2.0.1 or 2.1.1?
For 2.1.1 use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920236
download latest version of superoneclick n x8 usb driver
Can you see the super user in the menu?
Hi, everyone i am new here..
Today i had installed MiniCM-1.0.0-RC2, everything was fine but only loosing Root, i just wanted to know is just a common problem in this version MiniCM-1.0.0-RC2 or is just me or few unlucky ppl like me? I had done with superoneclik in order to have root access gain, the process showing success, but after restart the phone, the phone still in not root. Will it be fixed in future?
sorry for my bad english! I hope you all understand what im saying..thanks
Yes. everyone is losing root. just root again
@daredevil : he says after re-root, he didn't had the root back
@lookingpost : have you check it using root checker?
ya, i had try using superoneclick to re-root again, but after reboot it remained the same, i had try using root explorer to remount r/w or r/o, unfortunately didnt work, and i had checked with superuser, only titanium backup in the list and no other apps like setcpu or root explorer in there. I had try the superuser twice (the result showing success root), but after reboot, the result still the same.
Im using this superoneclick (provided a link)

Hey guys just wondering how do I check and see if the Perm root worked? I followed the thread on how to and where it says to check perm root I am not sure how? Any help would be great, I am unable to post on the dev forum still! Like I said I am using z4mod to root and was able to get through step 6 I do not want to flash the recovery until I am sure the perm rooting worked!
Thanks guys
So I was playing around and was able to flash a clockwork rec mod update and boot into recovery, I am guessing that it has worked!
Well, it must have worked, I was able to flash a rom no problem! I went with cm7!
you have superuser access app.....there is a root checker in the market also.....
Awesome, I noticed sometime last night I had the su app and did not know there was a root checker! Thanks, will be help full when rooting other phones!
no problem!
how i knew was because after i have rooted other ppls phones, I always tell them not to mess with the su app....
i dont no much but exp with winmo has helped me hugely!
rootchecker, i thinks it called found outta boredom....lol
I have a problem as I am now in circle of problems.
I need to have a rooted Android to install a clockwork mod.
But I need to have clockwork mod installed so I can install a b518 bootloader
But as clockwork mod installation needs root, I can not install anything.
I have now Official 2.3.5 b526 and I can not download b518 because terrible sharing sites (torrents anyone?), it toke 6 hours to even get the b526 with my nice 10Mibts connection so I don't want to spend next 12 hours trying to get a older version with multiple interrupts and re-downloads with capped speeds.
I have now browsed almost three hours XDA forums about this problem. No one can say directly how to solve thing.
I can return to 2.2 version fine but I don't want. I can root 2.2 fine and install CWM.
With 2.3 I can not root. Not with Z4root, SuperOneClick, Superuser, Superbootloader or any other way. All those say that I have rooted phone and even CWM manager things I have rooted phone but everytime root permissions are needed, everything fails just to errors that permissions are not possible to gain.
I have rooted, unrooted b526 and b136 versions multiple times but never got working root.
So question is very simple.
How to actually get Official 2.3 rooted?

Enabled:
Loggin
USB Debug
Mock locations
Allow all sources
And didn't mount MicroSD or NAND while rooting
Oh and tried even what someone said that they needed to disable WiFi so I even enabled it and disabled it.
