uhm hi. so I rooted my phone, got rid of a few pesky trial apps and want it unrooted again... since, I don't see the point of keeping it rooted. I've followed your guide, but like your guide says the superuser warning comes up. Do I flat out ignore it and wait, or should I click the ok button? Thanks!
another thing: If I keep it rooted and 2.1 comes out, does it unroot by itself or does it stay rooted? or.. am i stuck in 1.6 till unrooted? Thanks again.

Reason: additional question
Ah, thanks very much Suhel. I guess I'll just wait for Eclair then, as improbable as it may be. How's Eclair on X8 by the way? How much better is it than Donut? Anything new that's worth getting excited or at least happy over? Sorry for the questions, I just don't think I'll be getting Eclair in a long, long time (maybe even past the phone's life cycle, judging by my country's tech standards). I don't mind the wait, as I usually use phones as long as they're usable and not broken yet. But I'm curious what Eclair does for X8. ^_^

before I tell you anything further check this :
1. have you updated to 2.1?
2. is your debugging mode ON?
Is the android 2.1 upgrade available for x8 for INDIA now (Jan 2011)? I bought an x8 a couple of days back. I am new to x8, purchased bcoz of its features and low price.

I think the phone should have come with 2.1 since India was one of those countries which got the upgrade first.. If it is not running 2.1, install SE update service and update your phone dude.
PS. If u like playing with ur phone a lot, Root your phone and install add on's to enjoy using your device.Or buy a phone wic has 2.2 in it.. Galaxy 3 and Lg Optimus one ( know as lg Optimus P500 Thunder in India)
I cant run superoneclick on my pc. it always says unexpected end of archive whenever i try to open the rar file...i tried downloading other versions too and same thing happens.
whenever i connect my phone to my pc with memory card unmounted, my computer doesnt seem to find my phone, my phone is only discoverable if memory card is mounted. what should i do?please help.
saved it on my desktop, extracted it on my desktop. This is probably a stupid question, but what do I do with it now? Despite my SD card being unmounted, my PC still detects my X8 fine.
To answer your question (to be able to answer mine),

1. Yes (it already came with 2.1 off the shop)
2. Yes, made sure twice
Does having a 2.1 mean I have to do this root guide?
as i clicked d root optiion i recieved an error .
these are the details of d error.

As long as you only rooted it and didn't change your firmware or debrand the phone then running SEUS should return the phone to a 'Warranty' condition.

a new update
i have mangnaged to get root access...
heres how i did it
Note: When u connected the USB to the pc and to the phone, make sure the usb debugging option is ticked, as it said in the beginning of this topic...
1, i downloaded the old superoneclick.
2. downloaded the "mount /system (rw/ro) " and "Root Checker" programs from the android market..
3. in Mount /system (rw/ro) i used the mount r/w button.
4. on the pc i loaded superoneclick and clicked on root. now this was susessful.
5. on my phone, loaded Root Checker, and checked to see if its got root access.
bear in mind i had to do a few reboots on the phone, and also do a factory reset twice.
don't forget that the superoneclick will install a few programs like superuser,
hope that helps everyone,, if any problems with the way i done it let me know
