When u connect ur phone after rooting u connect the usb and do not select any of the 3 options that pop up..just press the back button.....UNMOUNTING MEANS NOT TO UMOUNT THE SD CARD FROM SETTINGS LITERALLY....now in command prompt enter adw shell and su....

Hi,
1) I am totally a newbie to the androids and Xperia X8..
But I have been doing loads of searching to find out about rooting..and gotta tell ya this is the best thread I have seen thus far on how to do it..And I am planning to do it :D..
In some others, I have read that there's quite some risk involved when rooting your device that you might brick it..I just wanted to make sure whether this is true and do I have that kinda risk involved when following this method as well?

2) I am currently using a 4GB class 4 SD card. Is that good enough to do the rooting?

3) Will the applications and the contacts that I have currently installed in the phone be deleted after the rooting?

4) After doing it, Will I be able to unroot it? And how?

I know that this thing is a bit lengthy :P..But I hope someone can help me with these questions. :)
thanks in advance :D

Updated to 2.1 using PC Companion.
Installed net framework vers 4

When I try to launch Super OneClick it says :Unable to find a version of runtime to run this application.

Check out microsoft's site for net framework's latest version... maybe its not installed properly on your pc
 
Thanx mate..:D
And I would like to know another thing..after rooting the phone, just in case, if SE released a android 2.2 update for X8, will I have to unroot the device before updating or can I update with the device being rooted?
 
Erm.. I'm new to rooting and I'm currently having problems with the SuperOneClick thingy.. I followed ur steps in order and when i click root, the box says : Killing ADB Server...

OK

Starting ADB Server...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

OK

Waiting for device...

I do not know what to do next.. Ur help is greatly appreciated :D
 
Hmmm, i had the issue with "Waiting for device..." too. What solved that issue was the remounting the sdcard for windows, like, re-plug the usb cable and on the confirmation dialog choose Connect your phone, then unplug the cable from phone. Plug it back in and choose Charge phone. Then try rooting it
 
thanks so much suhel! i've read a lot about rooting n finally found diz thread n it really works! juz wanna confirm, can i use APP2SD in 2GB sd card?
 
Yes u can use 2GB card. I'm using that kind of card because it was shipped with the device, and i put 1GB for storage and ~850mb for apps
 
Hi there! Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong - I rooted the X8 but when installing app2sd :

c:\adb>adb shell
$ su
su
# sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh
sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh
sh: Can't open /sdcard/app2sd.sh
#

I have placed the app2sd.sh into /sdcard so whats the problem ?
Thank you!

make sure when you connect your phone to your pc you choose the CHARGE THE PHONE option
 
Lion, we used this since 01.08.2011. And it worked perfect even from back there. And since I'm happily using root explorer, titanium, scriptme and other applications that would have shouted at me if I didn't have root, I really doubt I have to replace anything.
