can anyone help me?
i followed the directions here
and when i open superone click
it stops at waiting for ur device...
eventhough me device is recognized by pc using pc companion?????
....
and after i downlOAD Z8 drivers nothing happens???????????????
sorry to ask this question, i didn't catchup.
where should i put extracted xrecover file? in sdcard? and i dont have card reader... can i format sd in the phone? and make partition without remove it from my phone..
Thanks i found but error is not with this. I've got android 2.1 update 1. Does it work with update1? I downloaded newest version of program and it write Waiting for Devieces. What should i do?
Android n00b here (though I've been a linux user for a few years so I'm familiar with command line stuff etc)
Tried to do something on my 2 day old x8 (think it was run titanium backup), and got told I needed root access, so I started googling, ended up here, and being a guy that fools around with computers (a lot), I got interested
Just tried to root the phone with superoneclick which reported that the phone was successfully rooted, well wasn't that simple I thought to myself
Restarted the phone thinking I was about to check out it's new capabilities ... except there weren't any
My first thought was that if it worked superuser would most likely be installed, it wasn't, nor could I find any shell/command prompt, which I kind of expected to be there as judging by the page linked to below amongst others, to make use of the rooted phone commands need to be typed:
After a good look around I concluded the rooting process hadn't worked after all
The only thing approaching an error I got whilst running superoneclick on it was that it couldn't automatically detect my android version, I confirmed that it was v2.1 or greater (it's reported as 2.1 update 1), and it finished the rest of the run without complaint, quicker and more seamlessly than I expected actually
Just about the only part of the process where I wasn't sure about what I was doing, was what to do about the 3-option menu that pops up on the phone when connecting it to the pc, I chose no option, just left it sitting there
I've now started pc companion's repair function on the phone, and after it's finished I'll retry rooting it, thinking it may be possible that something I'd done on the phone whilst exploring things and trying settings may have interfered with the process, perhaps whatever caused it to fail on detecting the version interfered with the rooting process
So while the repair's running I thought I'd ask ... am I doing the wrong thing by not choosing anything on the popup menu appearing on the phone when I connect it to the computer?

Looks like it worked this time, I now have superuser, can't find any shell/command prompt app though
I'm guessing I have to install one, is there a recommended one?
Secondly, to install App2sdI need to partition the sd card and whilst I've most likely made thousands of partitions, never really messed around with them on phone cards
Am I likely to cause any problems if I do it under linux with the existing partition unmounted whilst the card is still in the phone?
Well you did nothing wrong.. if it says successfully rooted than it must've worked.. try again and if you don't find superuser (which is very weird) download it from market

1. Android terminal emulator...
2. No probs, I did it with my card in my phone, when the popup came I chose Connect to Pc

Two problems with shell commands on the phone, I use ssh and the command line an awful lot so I'm used to rattling off things at a rate of knots, it's a bit frustrating for a hamfisted guy trying to do the same on a phone touch screen keyboard when his fingers are about the size of three keys lol
Secondly ... the text is so small my tired old eyes can't read it even with glasses on! Tomorrow I plan to play with ssh into the phone using sshdroid which will allow me to use the real keyboard connected to my pc for the command stuff ... such old-fashioned devices and methods are way more into my comfort zone
ConnectBot: ssh'd into one of my linux servers as a test just fine
Jon Shell & Android Terminal Emulator: Jon Shell's a bit slicker and at first glance appears to have more functionality
GScript Lite: Just in case I 'might' wanna try running linux scripts
I've never really had much interest in phones and what can be done with them, always saw them as purely a means for people to get hold of me, but I'm beginning to be impressed
I'm itching to investigate whether sshdroid has the capability for x11 forwarding, but it's almost 2 am here, and tomorrow's another day
you dont need to have an extra app to excecute commands from your pc
just if you've downloaded superoneclick if you check the folder
there would be 3files with name starting with ADB* two dll files and one exe file. simply copy those three files to your windows/system32 and than you can use cmd for all your shell commands

Can see the files you're talking about, AdbWinApi.dll & AdbWinUsbApi.dll yeah?
The thing is though I hardly ever use windows, and even then 99% of my windows usage is done in vms so I need a way to do it from linux
I will experiment and see if I can get abd.exe to run under wine though and post back the result, but I'm about to watch the rugby so it'll have to be later or tomorrow ... depending on what time the pub starts screaming out my name

ermmm... neva used LINUX so donno maybe a bit googling will help you

Erm ... but you're using and giving some very good advice on Android OS
Android is an adaptation of linux, the whole root user concept you're helping people with is a linux one, root in linux (and any other unix based OS 'family') is pretty much just what Microsoft call Administrator in windows
I suspect mate that you would find taking a look at linux quite interesting, maybe try a live version sometime

I know all that android-linux story mate. its just never have used linux on pc. my pc is quite old and have only 40gb hard disk and that is full too so don't have space of dual boot. I've tried ubuntu externally via a usb but my pc just wont boot with a usb plugged in lol
Sorry for the stupid question but where can I download SEUS from? I tried searching in the SE official site but I couldn't find it.
Hi there, SE seem to have made some changes to their website in the last few days and for some reason now no longer have the link to the Update Service, which is a bit of a nightmare.
I moderate on their forum so have just contacted my Manager over there who is going to raise it internally and get back to me.
Thank you for the information! I just have one more thing to ask. What is the latest update and what does it do? I am cautious because my phone is new and I don't want to do anything risky which can harm it any way.
If your phone is already on 2.1 this update didn't bring massive improvements for me, I think it was the language/writing ability that was important for many users.
I haven't noticed this, been getting three days with very light use on my X8 over the last week or so since updating. My X10 is my main phone, I use the X8 mainly for answering queries/trying to reproduce problems and offer solutions on the Forums.
