Hello,first of all im really sory if i post this on the wrong section. Im new to this rooting things, just got my Xperia X8 yesterday as i broke my N86 last week
Heres my question..can i know what the advantage and disadvantage of rooting?
just hear a lot about rooting the good and the bad..and if possible,could someone lead me on rooting my X8? the simplest way?
And can someone recommended me for any app after rooting?
TVVM!
My X8 is E15i..2.1 -update 1..Kernel:2.6.29..Build No: 2.1.1.A.0.6.
man rooting your phone is really goood i dont think that there are problems when u root your phone if u have backup. See the simpliest way to root your phone is with the superoneclick programm
1. go to settings-> applications -> development and turn the usb debugging on i suggest u to change your phone language to english so it will be easiest.
2. go to settings-> sd card, usb mass storage & phone storage
click on UNMOUNT SD CARD
3.Download the attachment.
4. open superoneclick and press root but make sure that the sd card is unmount and the usb debbuging on
5. reboot and you are ready
I am stacked at the next step which is to install the x recovery
if u think i helped u thank me

First of all there are many things u can do with root u can install costum roms and get the 2.3 update but i dont use it because it isnt stable.X recovery is a very good thing that lets you to update your system if u have the rom downloaded. In order to buckup u have to download app from market but i insist u to root first witht the superoneclick and then download titanium backup which is an app that requiers superuser permission ( when u root u will find an icon called superuser ) it will automatically ask u to allow the app or not u press allow. Also an other good app u have to use is the root explorer which is paid but if u google rootexplorer.apk u can find it free and install it when u will try to install it i will say that it doesnt accept apps whch isnt from market and a pop up window will come up. There u press settings and u click the first box so it will allow ou to install the app. Free noramlly it costs 4.59$ . Also an other good app is Adfree which removes the advs from the apps. U can also use market unlocked if u want to check an app which isnt free. Download it from market after u root of course. When u download it run it and click the first box nammed SYT and then go ot the market and buy your pay app. I wil be here to help you again if u want something after all these. Something more when u root your phone go to market and search root apps and it will show u the apps that requiers root permission. U cant download Xrecovery this is a nxt step first do all these and then let me know if u want the Xrecovery. Also download the busybox from the app and istall the 1.17. These for now when u do them make a reply with what else u want.
Thank if me i helped u

ok happy digging but be careful always make a backup
i accidently remove gmail with titanium backup and my market now stuck with starting download when i try to download free app
Man if u hadnt made a backup i dont think u can fix this but i think that u can fix it if u make update manually to 2.2 but u have to have the xrecovery install first. If u find out how to fix it without update ok then post here in order to help you to install the xrecovery and update to 2.2

i got this problem when i use SOC 1.5,
than its work with SOC 1.3
before i use SOC, i select USB debugging
when i connect the phone, i just cancel it (don't mount)
then push Root.. walah... never fail for 10 times.
one more thing, u should install pc companion to get x8 driver in your comp.
anyone have xRecovery that working with x8?..
I got xrecovery from this thread

is not because u delete your gmail,,, my market sometimes just give me " starting downloading... " but never star to download..
first.. delete market update.. and try again... if still just same... factory reset the second option... if still cant downloading.. use another rom..
market bugs "starting downloading " i found on real firmware and some rom out there... i just do xrecovery restore when this happen..

Thanks my friend I managed to solve the problem, but this annoying little thing, yet I thank your attention.
If i go the android market and download something,it stores into my phone memory,but i can make it to memory card space?
So many view but nobody helps t_T
use app2sd, it saves your app to the sd
Wont Work.i Dlled the appbrain market but i cant install it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880387 , but try it on your own risk ! Also you must root your phone and install xrecovery . Here is the thread for root ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920236. Here is the thread for xrecovery and busybox ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878426 . After this , you can install app2sd .
im using the minicmrom , it seems i cant install any 3rd party apps from my sd card , when i click on the apk file and press install , it will load for awhile then it will say application not installed , but apps from market install just fine , anyone know anyway to overcome this ?
This error "application not installed" come up when you already have the app installed and you are trying to install an older version of it (market dont give you older versions).
So are you sure you are not trying to downgrade an app?
nope , im trying to install dillo hill , when i try to install it , it goes through the load screen for installing apps , then instead of saying application successfully installed it says unable to install
That game requires Adobe Flash, our x8 cant run it becuase it has arm6 processor.
P.S It requires some other Adobe stuff.(I think Adobe Director or something)
Hi Guyz,
I rooted my samsung galaxy s 2 successfuly I also installed BUSYBOX i know what busybox is from the definition it can run a couple of cool linux commands..!!!
so i see busybox an icon in my list of programs after downloading from market.
When I open it IT ASKS FOR AN INSTALL AGAIIN ??????
OK i did install NOW WHAT ???? i dont see any other icon appearing on my list of programs ? nor on the homescreens/dekstops
so my question how im i supposed to use the busybox ?? or where do i launch it ?? coz if i launch the one i installed from the market it doesnt giv me any option but just install again.
confusing???
you need a terminal emulator.
Try Jack Palevich's Terminal Emulator from Market.

I just started using DX and then i tried to use system app remover to delete something and then it says my phone is not rooted? i still have superuser and rootexplorer works. Busybox cannot be installed because its not rooted?
Any suggestions?? i need to root again or what??
Weird because root explorer works..and superuser is still there.
you have to root it again,
it wont remove any files
so if you did it once a second time wont be as hard
I also use Ginger DX, and have the same problem as yours. System App Remover seems not compatible with GingerDX. I suggest u to use Titanium Backup to uninstall system app. It works well with GingerDX.
This is a known bug... please refer to this thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205566
Let's just hope the fund raiser is a success and DX will get a new X8 soon
1. try to get in terminal emulator (if you have one) and type there "su"
and check if ($ goes to # )
2. you might delete some essential app which helps system work in rooted mode so try to reinstall ROM. if still doesn't work try to root that again. (it's quite easy with super user one click)
just root it again.. only 1 click
No no no guys! It's a bug in the GingerDX series. Just wait for doixanh to fix it.
