Root Rooting Xperia x8

[manivas]

Has anyone rooted xperia x8,
android does not support proxy settings ( wtf )

Windows: (GUI)
1.) Connect phone to Windows PC and activate USB-Debugging (DO NOT MOUNT THE SD-CARD!!!!)

2.) Run the program, click root and you are done
----
Linux/Max: (Shell)
adb push rageagainstthecage /data/local/tmp/trageagainstthecage
adb push su /data/local/tmp/su
adb push superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/superuser.apk
adb shell
-> $ cd /data/local/tmp
-> $ chmod 755 rageagainstthecage
-> $ ./rageagainstthecage
You will see some text explaining the exploit and it will drop you to normal bash after done.
Now again:
adb shell
-> # cd /data/local/tmp
-> # adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
-> # cat su /system/bin/su
-> # cat superuser.apk /system/app/superuser.apk
-> # chmod 06777 /system/bin/su
-> # chmod 777 /system/app/superuser.apk

Done

----

Have fun

P.S: If it doesn't work the first time just re-run the program once or twice.

See how that goes.

You can always try the Universal Androot [APP] [ROOT] 1-click root for N1 (Latest ver: 1.6.2 beta 5) - xda-developers

It should work on the X8 and it's very easy to root/unroot.

1-click root for N1 (Latest ver: 1.6.2 beta 5) Not works with my X8

No luck here either with my X8, I wonder why... I've yet to root this phone, any tips would be very much appreciated!

There is a whole thread devoted to it over on XDA and I haven't looked through it all but it looks like they have it sorted.

What is rooting?

What is rooting?

Rooting is done to get access to your system files which by default are inaccessible...

It's like by rooting you get the administrative privileges like the one we have in windows ;-)
